I was looking for a book that might help me understand just what was going on in Revelation. I didn't expect too much when I pulled this dusty old book from the shelves in my church's library. I was wrong, though! This is an excellent interpretation, going into plenty of detail and always staying interesting. I have since then also read the first three books in the Left Behind series, and let me tell you, this book far outdistances them! Not to say that they aren't a good read, but I much prefer to read a nice, solid review with plenty of research to back it up (which Ironside's lectures on the Revelation certainly is!). My advice to you is to read this book if you really want to understand what's going on, and read something like the Left Behind books if you're more looking for entertainment with some truth mixed in as well.

This book helped me greatly in preparing to teach an adult Sunday School class about the book of Revelation. Mr. Ironside's insights are most helpful and I believe to be a very good interpretation of John's Revelation of the end times.

I also have read " Except ye Repent " by Ironside. He is easy to read and shows God's Word in it's true meaning.

This book reveals all the symoblism of John's prophecy by going back through history and the rest of the Bible. I love his descriptions of the seven churches which Jesus wrote to. I knew the "Left Behind" series took everything too literal. This book will help better explain.

Currently teaching Revelations Journey, 1 verse at a time in Bible study. This book is very inciteful and thourough in its approach to a subject many find puzzling and even label as evasive. Using this tool along with guidance by the Holy Spirit, it is proving very valuable.

For anyone who wants a clear, easy to understand Bible commentary, H.A. Ironside is an excellent choice. He is extremely knowledgeable and has the gift of communication. I highly recommend this resource for anyone interested in a better understanding of the Bible

This book was written many years ago but to the person interested in indepth study of what God has to say about the end times it is an excellect study book.I read this book back in the the 70's and decided to reread it again.

Ironside's Revelation is good but there is much better. Clarence Larkin's commentary is number 1 with Dr. Peter Ruckman's a close second. If you are serious on Revelation, get all 3 as well as Dr Chuck Missler's Revelation DVD commentary. Stay away from any "Reformed"(Jesus rules in our heart" yeah right!!) attempt on this vital book.
