Secrets of Revelation: The Apocalypse Through Hebrew Eyes [Paperback]

Jacques B. Doukhan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2002

Ethereal worship, scary beasts, ominous trumpets,

terrible plagues, and ultimate paradise. The book of Revelation is a powerful tapestry woven from Old Testament imagery, such as the plagues of Egypt and the confrontation on Mount Carmel. Thus the Old Testament provides the key to unlock the code of Revelation.

Jacques B. Doukhan, an Adventist scholar of Jewish heritage, mines the Old Testament to uncover new meaning in the battle of Armageddon and the millennium. He ties the symbolism of the book to the sanctuary service of ancient Israel, showing how the seven sections of the book correspond to the seven feasts of Judaism. He argues that the prophecies of Revelation foretell the eventual discrediting of secularism (Egypt), the resurgence of conservative religion (Babylon), and a final coalition of the two movements in the climactic events before the second coming of Christ to defeat sin and save His people.

In this book, Dr. Doukhan shows the beauty of Revelation. Separating the entire book in a Menorah of Jewish fests, show us that Revelation was written by a good Jew, who understand what he was writing. It is not coincidence. Crossing the entire Bible, Dr. Doukhan uses many biblical texts and jewish texts to put side by side, and compare. The Hebrew language supports his work here, and for those who already knows very well the Revelation, must read this book: your conception will change after.

This review is from: Secrets of Revelation: The Apocalypse Through Hebrew Eyes (Paperback)

Secrets of Revelation is probably the best book I have ever read on the subject. There was only one paragraph in the whole book that I thought was disappointing. It should be read by anybody truly seeking to understand the book of Revelation. I would also recommend Secrets of Daniel, a must read.
