The Angel's Riddle: A Critical Analysis of the Book of Revelation (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781512795066)

First century Christians endured severe persecution, including death, from both the Jews and Romans. The Revelation of Jesus Christ was recorded by the Apostle John primarily to give those beleaguered souls strength and hope as their world became increasingly intolerable. They needed to know that God had not forgotten them. "The Angel's Riddle" is the result of an exhaustive critical analysis of the symbolism and imagery Jesus used to convey His message of hope. A progressive process was used to analyze and decode each part of the message into a clear and concise format. This is a deep study meant to be used with your Bible and suitable materials to record any crib notes you may desire to make along the way. Commentary is provided as you progress through the book. Details, symbols, and difficult language are broken down into manageable groups through analysis and comparison to multiple Bible passages; backed up by only the Word of God. "The Angel's Riddle" is a critical analysis and study of the most difficult book in the Bible. Don't hurry; your patience will be rewarded.

"I will attest that, though many have tried, few could have succeeded as Jim has in peeling back Revelation's many layers. Jim has summarized centuries of biblical scholarship, and pulled together a deep and impressive bibliography. In the process, he became a Revelation scholar himself."
