If you're looking to read just one book on Revelation, let it be this one!
Revelation is my favorite book of the Bible to study and Tsarfati's comprehensive approach to tackling this book of prophecy is fantastic. The book is split into five sections: Jesus and His Church, A Journey to Heaven, The Judgements of the Lamb, The Reign of the King, and Eternity. Each of these sections is made up of chapters that follow along with each chapter of Revelation, breaking down and examining the test.
Tsarfati does a great job of highlight the major theories for some of the less straightforward sections, providing Scriptural evidence for which he believes. He takes a literal about the Bible, unless the text is clear that something is a metaphor. I agree with his assertion that taking a metaphorical approach to Revelation often leads to eisegesis/reading ourselves into the text to support a view that isn't present in the Word. He also frequently talks about the original Greek words used by John, which is essential to truly understanding the Bible. Also, many thanks to the author for capitalizing God's pronouns!
This book also just feels good, whatever treatment was done to the paperback makes it feel like suede. This has nothing to do with the content, but it was a comfortable book to hold. I'm off to go read everything else Tsarfati has published thus far, including his fiction debut that I already own!

This was a great book.
A few months ago, my church did a multi-month deep-dive on Revelation.
After that series ended, it created a deep desire in me to seek more of this overlooked book.
This book was an excellent resource to fully describe and analyze the book of Revelation.
I found that Amir's passion was very strong in the writing of this book.
You can just feel his love for Jesus in the writing.
There were, however, a few quick quips that Amir made about the pandemic that I couldn't say I agree with.
Otherwise than that, I found this book quite interesting and would recommend to learn more about Revelation.

Okay. I give Tsarfati credit for clear exposition and obvious passion for the subject. This book was easy to understand.
That being said, this book was tough to read. The author’s dismissal of alternative readings of Revelation were simplistic (at best) misrepresentations of other scholars. This reading of Revelation is indicative of a reader who came to the text with a certain disposition, and brought that same disposition to the writings of other scholars in an effort to undermine their views as quickly as possible. The result was a reading that is disconnected from historic Christian thought and unduly dismissive of exegetes who are (quite frankly) better qualified to comment on Revelation.
It would be one thing if Tsarfati spent more time working through the actual arguments of other readings of Revelation, but he doesn’t. He dismisses alternative views based on tangential points without actually engaging their arguments. I understand that this is written for a popular audience, so it would be difficult to wade through mountains of secondary literature. Even if I agreed with this view of Revelation, I’d still say the same things about the quality of the argumentation, which leaves much too be desired.

The best explanation of Revelation that I've ever read.

Excellent Glimpse of the Future
I am a fan of Amir’s teachings and have watched or read them all. I find his theology & eschatology solid, and his teaching style easy and understandable. I taught Revelation prior to Amir’s book release, but I would have stolen some history and some background from him. If you’ve had trouble tackling Revelation, give this book a chance. Most of us believe the events mentioned in Revelation will take place soon and in our lifetime. Thanks Amir for the message, God bless you and your family and the Behold Israel team.

Needful but Run-of-the-Mill Dispensational Interpretation of Revelation
Amir Tsarfati is a popular and knowledgeable reporter of current Middle Eastern events and their prophetic implications from an Israeli, Messianic Jewish perspective. As a former Israeli Military Intelligence officer, Tsarfati's take on current events, often reporting from Israel or teaching in American Evangelical Churches, makes for great social media content. I've watched his YouTube channel and really enjoy his insights and sense of humor. However, his prophecy books, of which this is his latest, are not particularly insightful. The prophetic interpretation is run-of-the-mill dispensationalism, pre-trib and pre-millennial (which I ascribe to myself) but offering nothing radically different than a fifty year old Hal Lindsay bestseller. Now for those who want to understand that interpretation of the Book of Revelation, Amir Tsarfati's latest is well worth reading. However, he seems to repeat the most well-worn tropes of the 1970s-90s Golden Age of Prophecy Best Sellers involving a Western European Beast Kingdom and a world without the USA due to the Rapture emptying America of its Christians. Two of the most popular new views-- involving the role of Islam, especially the possibility of a restored Caliphate, and the likely return of antediluvian fallen angels during the tribulation-- are ignored. So for those like myself who have been studying prophecy incessantly since the early 80s, this will be somewhat lackluster and disappointing.
I am also not a fan of the chatty, snarky style of writing used by social media influencers like Tsarfati (Derek P. Gilbert is likewise guilty of this shortcoming) in their otherwise well-researched books. Contemporary turns of the phrase or culturally relevant humor sounds funny on video but dates itself rather quickly after only a few short years. I find this kind of writing grating. But it has became so common among modern "hip" Christian writers that I suppose it's expected by most readers. But it sounds lame to me.
For a basic overview of the dispensational, pre-trib and pre-millennial interpretation of prophecy, this book is recommended.

Very engaging and readable discussion of the book of Revelation, from a dispensational pre-tribulational perspective. The author comments on every section of the book. He uses many cross-references and offers sane and helpful interpretation to help readers understand the book. He also writes with pastoral insight and a worshipful approach. Highly recommended if you’d like to get a good basic overview of Revelation.

Come, Lord Jesus, come!
Amir has once again testified to the truth. The truth was hard to hear because it is so tragic for those who are not born again believers. His book on revelation renewed in me a commitment to spread the gospel to my loved ones, so when Jesus says "come up here" we can meet Him as a family.

I started listening to the audiobook not the narrator was very dull and did not peak my interest to continue listening.
The book’s premise and synopsis is well constructed and mentioned throughout. I would have preferred to read it instead of listened

I really appreciate the fact that Tsarfati doesn’t expect the reader to accept his view of whether different events found in Revelation are meant to be literal or symbolic simply because “he’s an expert and he says so”. Instead, he presents the reasoning held by well-known scholars from varied perspectives, then shares his own perspective, and explains why he believes as he does, addressing where he believes other viewpoints veer off track. After considering the viewpoints shared, I am in agreement with his perspective in most instances.
In some instances, he even explains that there are places where we can’t be certain of how certain things unfold. Many authors would go ahead and give their personal opinions presented as facts in this situation, but Tsarfati doesn’t take that route. His choice makes me respect him much more. Overall, a great book for those wanting to think through the literal vs symbolic nature of Revelation.

REVEALING REVELATION ! I want to give EVERYONE a copy of this book !
50 years ago I read The Late Great Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey. I become convinced by what I read that Christianity was the real deal. That bestselling book is still in print today and has been read by millions.
Since then I’ve been aware of Biblical prophecy coming to pass. But nowhere near the crazy climatic pace taking place now. So on to this current book, Revealing Revelation by Amir Tsarfati. It explains the last book of the Bible and shows clearly that we are a breath away from Rapture and Tribulation.
If you’re a believer this book will enhance your understanding of the book of Revelation and make some sense of what is happening to our world.
If you’re not a believer it will just absolutely blow your mind.

Easy to read and grasp the Revelation of Jesus Christ
I love Amir's clear and easy to follow writing here. The Book of Revelation can be tricky to understand but after reading this book it's so much clearer! God keep blessing Amir and his ministry. It is needed in these dark times. in these end times full of deception. Shine Your light through Amir and all who truly believe in Jesus Christ.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

I love the Bible and I've studied and taught from the first three chapters in Revelation a number of times. But, I'll admit that the rest of Revelation has been of little interest to me, because it is so horrifying, hard to understand, and - I won't be here when the tribulation horrors are happening on the earth (as a believer, I'll be in heaven). However, after studying a lot of prophecy recently, and feeling like I might need to enlarge my scope, I decided to read Amir's book (I'm a big fan of Amir Tsarfati) and I'm so glad I did. While his book is not at all a verse by verse explanation, he gives a good bit of background information from the Old and New Testament that helps and enriches understanding, as well as offering explanation for various parts of each chapter in Revelation. Amir has a warm and friendly, and even humorous way of writing that I find very engaging. And, at times, he even admits that we don't know the answer to certain things in the book - and we just need to trust God's heart in these things. I learned a lot from this book and I'd recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn more about God's Word - and especially about prophecy. These things ARE going to happen someday - and you want to be sure that you are in heaven at the time and not still on the earth. Several times in the book, Amir appeals to the reader to be sure about their eternal destination.

Thank you so much for the insight you provided
So, Revelation is not so difficult to understand. Thanks to Amir for taking me on this exciting tour of the book of Revelation. Your step by step discussion revealed everything so clearly. I admit that before I read this book, it seemed that it was only a doom-and-gloom prophecy, wrapped in a mystery. Having read this, I am much clearer on God's message to me and the rest of the world. I am excited for Him to call me to Him. I hope the day comes soon. Amir has a gift to explain the Gospel and prophecies in a very simplistic way. I will definitely re-read the book to pick up on any details I have missed. The book is well presented and written, with Amir's usual blend of humour and seriousness to make the message clear - time is not on your side. Now, more than ever, accept Jesus's Sacrifice and Salvation now!

It is the tendency of most christians to ignore the last book of the Bible(Revelation). Amir Tsarfati points out the reason this book made it into the canon is because God wants us to read it. But the real question is why? As the author claims, ignoring Revelation leaves gaping holes in our knowledge of God. We would not see the God of 2nd, 3rd, and many more chances. We would not see God's power in defeating the evil one. We would not know the depth of God's love for his people.
Revealing Revelation makes it clear that Revelations is a book that can be understood. It should encourage the Christian to be faithful to the end, and to be shining lights in a darkened world.

Revelation is a HARD book to understand in the Bible. Is it pre trib or post trib? Will there actually be a woman giving birth in the sky? What even is the Millennial?? So many of these questions I had and Amir answered them and more in this book. Amir takes Revelation chapter by chapter and he explains what it means and how it relates to us. He brings up other verses from the Bible as well that show prophecy or to back up his point. Highly recommend this book for anyone because this is the future and it’s coming FAST.

I loved this tour of the book of Revelations. I cannot wait to reread this book and do the workbook with it next. One of my best friends and I came across this book in a book group, we decided that we would read this together. Before we were halfway done, we knew we wanted to read it again and get the workbook to do together. We don’t live in the same state, but it isn’t stopping us for growing in faith together and we find ways we can do the workbook together by setting a time weekly to discuss it.

In ‘Revealing Revelation’, Jewish Christian Amir Tsarfati provides verse-by-verse commentary and explanation on every chapter of Revelation. With a mixture of good humor and Biblically-sound comments, Tsarfati refutes common misconceptions and interpretations pertaining to the millennial reign, replacement theology, and the rapture of the church.

great book for better understanding Revelation and the call it puts on our lives. goes through the reality of what is to come but also shows the hope we have as believers and how we can share that hope.
a real, raw look at revelation, but breaks it down nicely.
