Revelation can bring to mind terrible visions of war, disaster, persecution, and global destruction. It challenges the reader with symbols and hidden meanings. Yet the golden thread that runs through Revelation is Christ with His Church in worship on earth and in heaven. This commentary explores and explains the final testimony of the ascended Lord before His return in judgment. This book draws its content from the best-selling book Revelation-Concordia Commentary series. This new lay-friendly edition includes all of the original translation and commentary but excludes technical notes, original biblical languages, and terminology required of an academic edition.
