A View From Patmos: A Critical Commentary on the Book of Revelation

by Charles Spence

Looking for a critical commentary on what many regard as one of the most complex, mysterious and fearful books in the Bible? "A View from Patmos" offers a unique perspective into the Vision that the apostle John received from the Lord while on the isle called Patmos. He gets a view of events that were soon to take place during his time from a perspective that even fascinated John. He received this vision, which he communicated to those who had ears to hear (God's people), from the Lord through an angel. John communicated this vision to the saints using symbolisms so as to keep the message hidden from those that were enemies of the Lord and His cause. Yet the message would be clearly understood by the children of light. The book of Revelation is one of the most encouraging books in all the Bible. While the book details one of the greatest wars ever know, the reader can rest assured that good will ultimately prevail over evil. No one that truly understands its message should ever live in fear of the enemy of the Gospel. When all is said and done, the Lord assures John of who will be victorious. All who read with ears to hear can have that same assurance.
