![]() I am sure that you will disagree with some points in this study. But even with these things in mind, I strongly believe that these expositions are the appropriate foundation for the study of Revelation. Therefore, I expect that I will see more things and “tweak” my views as I continue to study Revelation. I also plan to continue to study the book once this series is completed.

Believing the Bible can be understood by all people, I have studied Revelation for myself. I am just like you - a person with great curiosity for Revelation.

Revelation Made Clear walks through the book of Revelation looking for the clearest and most natural understanding of the book. By connecting Revelation to the Old Testament prophecies I believe we can understand the book as the first century audience did. The images in Revelation have a foundation in prophetic books of the scriptures. ![]() Most of Revelation’s difficulties comes from our lack of knowledge of the Old Testament prophecies. No one should feel like the book of Revelation is unapproachable to the average person. The scriptures are not reserved for the highly educated seminary students and professors. The Bible was written so that average people could read the words found on its pages and understand the meaning. The rise of television programs, radio broadcasts, and books has only compounded this problem. People seem hopelessly lost by the imagery found in its pages. Too many people believe that Revelation is a book that cannot be understood. My goal is to help you understand and apply Gods Word in proper context.This website is an attempt to cut through so much of the fear and confusion that surrounds the book of Revelation. One may understand a story or two, but not many have the clarity needed to fully understand the meaning and purpose of the Old Testament language used in the New Testament, especially in the last book of the Bible. This is where many modern-day believers are when it comes to understanding the depth and meaning of the Old Testament. However, if we lived in some other foreign country and you overheard me use that same phrase, what mental picture would you have if you had never been to America? Maybe none because there would be no understanding of the event or meaning. Theres an association there, and that association is key. If you heard me say, We are going to celebrate like it is the Fourth of July, what would you think? When you hear that phrase, what mental pictures come to your mind? Fireworks? BBQ? Summertime? I did not mention any of those words. The purpose of this book is to help the reader journey through the Old Testament into the clarity of Revelation. The book of Revelation is explained in the Old Testament. The Lord would not offer a blessing and then turn it into confusion! So why is this book so difficult to so many? Because the average modern-day believer does not have a firm understanding of the Old Testament. The third verse of this book has a promised blessing: Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it because the time is near. Many believers see the book of Revelation as a book that is too hard to understand. Finally the Book of Revelation Made Easy Authorįinally the Book of Revelation Made Easy by David A.
