NO KIDDING! The Revelation Is Meant To Be Understood! The Bibles last book is not a puzzle, mystery or myth, but Gods clear foretelling of the conclusion of His predetermined history of the universe and the human race in their perfected state. Unfortunately, well-meaning interpreters have blurred and distorted its message by imposing their biased eschatologies upon it rather than allowing the Revelation text to tell its own exciting and encouraging story. As we journey along with John on his visionary tour into the future the Lords angel will keep us abreast of the sights and sounds we encounter at each new location until we are awe-stricken upon arriving at its destination, the new heaven and earth which God will have created in which we shall live eternally with Him, His Son and the Holy Spirit.

ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW? What the Bible really says-about some of the most IMPORTANT & CONTROVERSIAL subjects. Was the world created in six days? Is sex a tolerated, tainted activity? What is the image of God? Did Enoch and Elijah never die? Was I born a sinner or saint? Is Saturday or Sunday the required holy day? How did an evil Satan get into God's good world? Once saved, does it really matter how I live? Am I an adopted child of God or born into His family? Is my soul immortal and will sinners face eternal torture or eternal death in Hell? Read this clarifying, scholarly, but easy to read, study of some controversial doctrines and difficult Bible texts. Discover that what the Bible actually says about these subjects is more exciting and freeing than the traditional lore and faulty interpretations men have taught. The writer, Rev. Robert L.

ARE WE THE TERMINAL GENERATION? This book is a much needed valid and Scripturally correct alternative interpretation of Biblical eschatology. In the process of presenting a Scriptural depiction of the future it critiques the popular dispensational view of the End-Times. Contrary to what many have been taught, the Bible does not teach that the second coming is divided into two trips seven years apart or that the rapture is as sudden as the blink of an eye or unobserved by the world. Nor does the Bible anywhere affirm a seven year tribulation period. While the familiar themes of the second coming, the rapture and the great tribulation are presented, this is not a rehash of what others have popularly taught. I present valid new insights from the Scriptures that give an exciting new perspective to these familiar themes. I also expose some of the deceptions and errors that are popularly taught by the leading gurus of pretribulationalism. Robert L.
