This tremendous exposition of the capstone of Scripture issues from years of teaching, dedicated study, and sound evangelical scholarship. The author defends the premillenninal position, but at crucial points considers other views as well.
The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.
Excerpt from The Revelation of Jesus Christ by John, Vol. 1 of 2 The Frontispiece ia intended to aerve the following pnrpoaeB. 1.To exhibit the structure of the Revelation at a glance. Inside the outer pointed hand are the two aymbolization Bof the Church of Christ;, as described ia Cs. i-iii, and Ce. xxi-xxii. At the top is the High Priest, holding in his hand the seven stars, and walking in the midst of the seven caodlesticks. At the bottom is the new Jerusalem, coming down ont of heaven towards the great and high mountain. As these two are symbols of the one Church at different epochs, they are connected together. Inside the inner band is the scene of judgment in heaven, as described ia Cs. iv-v, and resumed inC. xx;11-15. As these two passages relate to what is for substance one scene, ihb symbols above and below the roll are connected together by the myriads of myriads of angels (v;11). In the lower part of the Conrt of judgment, two departures from the symbolical description may be observed. The great white throne (xx;11) ia left out, and sheep and goats are introduced. The former has been omitted, partly because the space at command did not admit of its introduction, and partly because the throne in the upper part is substantially identical with it. The latter have been inserted from Matt, zxv; 33, as forming the best mode of symbolically representing the dead, the righteous and the unrighteous. In like manner, the cubical shape of the new Jerusalem has been sacrificed to pictorial effect; and in some respects one or two of the other symbols have been adapted to piotolial representation, and the space at command. In the middle of the scene of judgment, the opened roll with seven seals symholizes the evidence, which is brought before the Court In the four outer comers of the Frontispiece are symbolical representations of the heathen, which are without the Church in the four comers of the earth (xx;8). The four severally represent (T).B ahhaiiish, (Ii). Bdddhibm, (Iii). Varioos roRUS or Heathenism, and (Iv). Isuush. Viewing the three scenes, then, in the opposite direction to that, in which they have now been noticed, that within the inner band represeuts the Old Dispensation or Judaism, that within the outer band the New Dispensation or Christianity, and that on the outside Heathenism.2. The Frontispiece serves, also, to show the form and arrangerneTit of the seven-teal roll. Bands, wider or narrower as the occasion required, and beginning with the seventh, are. supposed to have been passed round two successive folds of the roll as it was rolled up, and the ends of each band to have been fastened together by a seal at the side. Then, as each successive seal was broken, the portion appertaining to that seal would become visible in the proper order. Each seal-band would cover, and thus distinguish the epoch or cardinal crisis of a seal; and those lying between two seal-periods would cover, and thus denote a shorter or longer transition period, 144102 , .

A Commentary on the Book of Revelation - Volume 2 The author presents a detailed study of the Book of Revelation emphasizing prophetic themes from the rest of the Bible which find their fulfillment in Revelation. To understand this controversial book, the author explores the many connections between the visions seen by the Apostle John and previous prophetic revelation given to Old Testament prophets such as Daniel, Ezekiel, and others. It is the author's conviction that an understanding of related passages elsewhere in the Bible is the most important key to unlocking the bewildering variety of interpretations which often accompany the study of the last book of the Bible. The commentary can be used in conjunction with a free companion internet course providing an additional 70 hours of audio instruction linked to almost 1,000 slides.

From the Introduction by Merrill C. Tenney: This commentary is an attempt to make plain the meaning of Revelation. With commendable reserve, Dr. Smith has restricted himself largely to interpretation by other passages of Scripture which are related to Revelation by actual quotation or by striking parallelism. His painstaking studies of vocabulary and of related ideas make the book valuable to the earnest student of the Bible. Dr. Smith is a futurist and a premillenarian, holding that all of the Book of Revelation beginning with the fourth chapter relates to the future period of judgment known as 'the great tribulation,' which will be followed by the personal return of Christ and by the establishment of His kingdom. In this regard he is in a long line of renowned commentators, including Seiss, Gaebelein, Ottman, and others. The distinguishing feature of this commentary is its use of Biblical statistics and comparisons. The uses of important terms in the Revelation are cataloged, and their interpretation is derived from their context. The appendices contain some extensive studies of individual topics, correlating information not easily obtainable elsewhere. Dr. Smith follows a literal interpretation except where avowed symbolism demands a different procedure. He has sought to make his exposition consistent in method and in results. His use of Greek is apt, and shows a careful investigation of the underlying vocabulary of the Greek text. This commentary will probably be the mainstay of premillennial exposition for some years to come.

To read the book of Revelation is to see a myriad of representations pass by our gaze, offering and kaleidoscope of bizarre and incongruent images. This world strikes us at first as fearfully and mysteriously strange and fantastic. But once these symbols are properly deciphered, they combine to present crucial messages for those living in the last days. These messages were designed by God to lead all successfully through these troubled times if they will read, hear, and do his will. This commentary presents a comprehensive analysis of John's book aided by the lens of LDS doctrine and Mormon experience. God delivered his messages in the form of images housed within discrete visions, with each symbol explaining, exposing, or emphasizing various aspects of the message conveyed. The challenge is getting beyond the symbols to the represented realities. Information is drawn from all the Standard Works, the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and from modern Prophets and Apostles.
