Revelation Commentary |
INTRODUCTION With the continued growth of the prewrath position comes the need for more resources. Resources that explain how the whole of Scripture supports the prewrath timing of the Lord's return. The request for commentaries on the Revelation that explain it from the prewrath perspective has gone largely unanswered. We, therefore, offer this dynamic commentary as a temporary stopgap until more exhaustive works can be done. We offer no defense of our belief that the recipient of the Revelation was John the Apostle; that the date of writing falls near AD 96; that the Revelation has epistolary, prophetic, and apocalyptic features, which must influence its interpretation; and that the book is progressive in nature with parenthetical details added for clarification. Where necessary we will comment on the structure of the book to understand the meaning of the text. For those who are interested in matters of background, please consult the first volume of David E. Aune's commentary on Revelation in the Word Biblical Commentary series. He does a very thorough job on these matters.
