"In terms of the written canon of Scripture, the Book of Revelation
is God's 'last word.' Common logic would seem to dictate that a God
who is intelligent, reasonable and articulate would speak 'last
words' that would be easily understood by the vast majority of His
audience. Unfortunately, in the case of The Revelation, the reality
is quite different. For most of the last two millennia of Church
history, Christians have fussed and fought (metaphorically, if not
physically) over the intent, intelligibility and interpretation of
The Revelation. What was given as a source of encouragement, unity
and hope has become a cause of discouragement, division and fear."
In this book, the author presents a series of "portraits" of Jesus
Christ, which are revealed in the successive apocalyptic visions
contained in the Book of Revelation. These visions were not given
to stir fear or confusion but to inspire hope and to give courage
to a young Church - a Church that was struggling with the harsh
realities of living according to the teachings of Christ in the
midst of a decidedly non-Christian world. The author claims that
Jesus is the focal point and central figure of this mysterious and
final book of the Bible. In this manner, he seeks to make the
message of Revelation relevant and reasonable to every reader.
