Rather than a verse by verse exposition of the Revelation, Dr Henry
T. Hudson follows what he calls "A Pass in Review." He is
interested more in the sweep of the book than in the jots and
tittles. His conviction is that when a reader is able to comprehend
the interrelationships between the various sections he will be able
to apprehend its main message. As stated in this book, he does not
want "any single tree" to block the view of the whole forest.
It is a well known fact that the Revelation has been judged to
be the most difficult book in the Bible. John Calvin, who wrote a
wealth of commentaries on the books of thew Bible, wrote no
commentary on the Revelation. Thomas Jefferson removed the book
from his Bible. Carl Jung was of the opinion that no one believes
the prophecies found therein. And even the "Blessed Jerome" was of
the opinion that the Revelation "has as many interpretations as it
has words," and "the layers of its meaning exceed the numbers of
its words," but as Dr. Hudson points out, the opening verses make
it very clear that there are both spiritual and practical blessings
waiting for those who receive, search, and keep its message. He
insists, those who possess the right spiritual attitude of both
mind and heart will find that the book is "like a light that
shineth in a dark place," and that it is an integral part, yea it
can be called the climax of biblical prophecy.
The front cover comes from a portion of the fresco of Luca
Signorelli (circa 1499 AD) that appears on the walls and ceiling of
the Cathredral in Orvieto, Italy.
