REVELATION, the book of the consummation of all things, is a closed book to multitudes of Christians. This should not and need not be. We are responsible for every part of the Word of God, as it was written for our admonition.

The symbolic language is often given as a reason for this neglect.

Christians will welcome this thorough, comprehensive study.

Although their symbolism differs, the prophecies of Daniel and those of Revelation contain much that is identical.

There is a clear, simple but complete chart of the prophetic plan of the ages."
