Readers of the Book of Revelation are either
mesmerized or mystified by it. The mesmerized come up
with such startling interpretations that the mystified
often conclude that sober-minded Christians should
leave the book well alone.
David Chilton’s commentary ought to be studied by
both types of reader. He shows that Revelation is a
book, like every other book of the New Testament,
addressed primarily to the first-century church and
easily understood by them, because they were
thoroughly familiar with Old Testament imagery. He
shows that once we grasp these idioms, Revelation is
not difficult for us to understand either.
Revelation remains, though, a challenging and
relevant book for us, not because it gives an outline of
world history with special reference to our era, but
because it shows us that Christ is in control of world
history, and how we should live and pray and worship.
In vivid powerful imagery it teaches us what it means to
believe in God’s sovereignty and justice. May this
valuable commentary prompt us to pray with John and
the universal church in heaven and on earth, ‘Even so
come, Lord Jesus!’
