For nearly two thousand years, the book of Revelation has been an enigma because it is so shrouded in Semitic idioms and cultural symbolism. Consequently, Bible scholars, theologians, and commentators have become caught in an unending debate about the interpretation of many passages of Saint John's vision. The idea that a vision transcends the limits of time adds another layer of complexity that has led to uncertainty about such things as the timing of the rapture and the thousand-year reign of Christ. But God, in His grace, desires to reveal the truth to his children. Assuredly, that is why He blessed Saint John with this prophesy of prophesies. As the return of Jesus Christ draws near, the LORD has poured out a special blessing and opened up new insights into the message of this most dramatic, picturesque, and enigmatic book of the Bible. The cornerstone of these new insights is to see that Saint John's vision is actually a compilation of seven separate but parallel visions that repeatedly describe the same sequence of events in much the same way that the first two chapters of Genesis combine to give two separate accounts of the creation of the world and the four Gospels provide four separate accounts of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. When understood from this perspective, the sequence of events in the book of Revelation becomes clear because the sequence is the same in all seven visions. Many other passages become clarified as well because properly decoding the sequence of events allows us to hone in on the time period of the events portrayed. This new insight is an enormous blessing to the faithful, as the mysteries revealed help resolve centuries of debate about the book of Revelation, reaffirm the integrity of the Bible, and more fully illuminate the LORD's glorious plan for us. It is our sincere hope that every person who reads this book will rediscover the infinite love of Jesus Christ and become better prepared for the LORD's triumphant return. Amen.+ After numerous readings and re-readings of the book of Revelation, I had only a vague sense of the sequence of events foretold in the prophesy. Even after laboring for more than fifteen years to translate the Holy Bible into the language of our modern culture and times (see: Images of Heaven--a Book of Love, Wisdom & Truth) and repeatedly listening to commentaries on the book of Revelation in fasting and prayer, I was still no closer to truly understanding it. Then one day the LORD God opened my mind to the secret of interpreting the prophesy...
