Synopsis

The Book of Revelation may be known as the climax of biblical prophecy. As such, it is God’s great gift to the church for her witness and life during the critical period leading up to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Its subject matter, while enlightening, also elicits strong human fascination, which unscrupulous interpreters may exploit for lucrative or destructive purposes. Bearing in mind that God’s gift should never be abused, this course seeks to understand the book on its own terms. To that end

(i) an overview of the book’s structure and plot will be provided;

(ii) important passages will be studied in the light of the book’s original setting; and

(iii) key themes will be identified and consolidated so that the wood is not missed for the trees.

The hope is that participants will have a good grasp of the book so that they can separate the edifying from the outlandish, and better prepare themselves for the great day of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Maranatha!
