Silence in Heaven: A Survey of the Book of Revelation

The premise of this work is that John has two encouraging messages, one for the troubled church of his own time and one for a troubled church in his distant future. The message is carried by the overtones of the book's imagery, an imagery borrowed extensively from the Old Testament.. Most of the features of Revelation will not be seen before the return of global persecution, because they describe that persecution and God's response. Yet current events may seem to be catching up with my account of the Four Horsemen, which was available online ten years ago. That is why Revelation calls for the patient endurance of the saints.
