About the author
Todd Hampson
15 books22 followersI’m Todd Hampson and I produce comically illustrated books and products that help people consider the claims of Bible prophecy so they can face today with a sense of joy, courage, clarity, and purpose (toddhampson.com).
For many people, the topic of Bible prophecy is about as inviting as sticking your face in a bees nest. I use my background as an illustrator and animation producer to smoke out the bees and help people see how awesome the honey really is.
I try to write books that make the study of Bible prophecy a little less intimidating. Rather than yell at you with a bull-horn or walk around with a sandwich board on, I hope to peel back the layers of negative connotations people have related to Bible prophecy and refocus their attention on the incredible future promises we have when we have put our faith in Christ.
I have an amazing wife who happens to be the best middle school language arts teacher on the planet (sorry other middle school language arts teachers) and three soccer-loving children who make me better every day. They mean the world to me and remind me that my success is ultimately defined by how well they thrive. When Jesus comes back or when I get a few pounds of dirt thrown on my box—whichever comes first—I want my family to know they were more important to me than any earthly accolade or accomplishment.
I’m also the founder of an animation development and production company called Timbuktoons (timbuktoons.com), a volunteer church leader at a thriving local church, and a boxer (my "hobby"). I love mission work and have been to Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and a few other places on short term missions.
Above all, I want to leverage my life for Christ and tell as many people as possible about His amazing gift of eternal life in heaven (John 3:16) and the abundantly full life he offers here on Earth (John 10:10). When you have the cure to everything, you tend to want to share it.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
—John 3:16
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
—John 10:10

Great partner book to the Non-Prophet's Guide to the End Times, which focuses more on the rapture of Christian believers. This book digs into the nitty-gritty of Revelation with a lot of scripture and common sense, making it much easier to understand. For people who are confused by the book of Revelation, this will be a welcome read. Mr. Hampson explains the purposes of the tribulation period, meanings of many metaphors, and Biblical parallels. If you wonder about the meaning of the lampstands, the sun, moon, stars, and dragon, and many other symbols, he explains it superbly.
The political aspect of current events is also explained, from CERN (horrible creepy place - I googled it and needed a shower afterwards), to the European Union's satanic influences.
I highly recommend this educational, yet fun (great cartoons) book to help you understand a difficult book in the Bible. Thank you!

Revelation 1:3 tells us "blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near". Just finished reading this book (had an advanced copy). It is truly amazing. The book of Revelation is hard to understand if you have not read it and studied it. This book breaks it down with graphics and pictures to help the reader understand and learn what the bible is foretelling us! We are living in biblical times and we should all be aware of what is coming! I strongly recommend if you are wondering what in the world is going on today, to pick up a copy and find out! You will not be disappointed.

A must read if you've found it difficult understanding Revelations!
This gives a crash course on Revelations. What an awesome book! Thank you! If you have not read Revelations all the way through, it had some difficulty understanding some of the symbolism, then read this book then return and read Revelations all the way through. You will have a better understanding!

Revelation is a difficult book to read, however The Non-Prophets Guide helps you understand the symbolism in an entertaining and user-friendly way. “Revelation is not a fictitious book of literary fantasy or a deceptive religious text designed to scare us into obedience “. Revelation 1:3a “Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy”.

Diving into the last book concerning the last days
This helps to unpack the most complex book of the Bible, Revelation, in a way that makes it somewhat comprehendible. Still lots to be uncovered but several times during our reading, my wife would exclaim, “Come on Jesus! I’m ready for the rapture!”

An enjoyable survey-level look at Revelation. Don’t let the illustration and infographic nature of this book fool you, there is solid content in this book. If you are looking for a book that discusses Revelation from a pre-tribulation position and in a reader-friendly manner, this book will do the trick.

A nice over view of a complicated subject. Author makes things clear by explanations ( Bible backed) and a timeline. Personally I find the cartoons off putting when dealing with such a serious matter but the book itself was well researched.

This was a good read. I would read two chapters of Revelation in my Bible and two from this book. I think it was excellent and absolutely helped me understand Revelation better. His ease in language and his illustrations were an added help. Funny also.

Great book! Makes each chapter of Revelation easier to understand and taken chapter by chapter it’s not overwhelming. Well thought out and explained. Author is quick to say when he doesn’t know something or to list things that have alternative explanations.

Great, digestible resource for the Book of Revelation
The book is well developed, researched, readable, and makes approaching the Book of Revelation a doable thing. Thoroughly enjoyed all of the books from this series so far.

Revelation is always a difficult study because of the content and symbols. This book offered a clearly written explanation.

Well laid out, deep enough to learn and get you thinking, and interestingly written. Can’t go wrong.

I was so thrilled to find this book. Todd has a wonderful gift of bringing understanding & clarity to subjects that some of us have found intimidating and difficult. So...if you have ever wanted to truly understand the book of Revelation, and it's importance for us at this time in history..dive in...you will not be disappointed!

A very concise and informative book that teaches the Bible book of Revelation. The book takes Revelation apart and explains it piece by piece. The explanations were clear and understandable. The author backed up everything with citations from other books in the Bible. The author also used illustrations to reinforce points or better explain events over time.
