Foreword
C. L. Cottrell (proofreader and colleague)
If you are looking for another book about prophecies to confirm the various present day accepted theories and philosophies of Biblical eschatology, then maybe this book is not for you.
If you are locked into your beliefs of how you perceive the Book of Revelation and desire to believe fables based on false hope, this book is not for you.
If you are searching for biblical truths that you do not have to stretch a mile to find, then you have come to the right place. If you are searching for answers that are based on the word of God and not upon mans' preconceived, prepossessed, and prejudiced opinions, then you have come to the right place.
I am an avid bible student. I spend about thirty hours a week reading and studying the bible, Christian books, and listening to Christian tapes.
The book you hold in your hands is different from anything I have ever seen. You will not find another one like it anywhere. It is unique in content, magnitude, distinction, and understanding.
I have always had problems with the way some things were interpreted and depicted in modern day prophecies concerning eschatology, end time events and views.
These things were not confirmed within my spirit. I felt there were too many grasping and unsupported predispositions behind many of these prevailing beliefs and ideologies. Because of this, I, like so many others, avoided the book of Revelation.
One of the problems I encountered, when reading and studying the numerous books written on the subject of Revelation and end time events, was that everything seemed to be forced into place. When reading and comparing these writings to the rest of the Bible, they just did not fit.
While investigating the numerous end time subjects taught today, we find they can not be found in the book of Revelation.
Because of this many prevailing beliefs and ideologies do not make sense. God does not need to manipulate things to get them where He wants them.
God does not work that way...
After reading this book these truths seem so evident, explicit, apparent, and clear, I do not know how we ever missed them, but we surely did.
God, through the author of this book, has made sense of it all. The author uses the entire Bible to decode, interpret, decipher, and solve the mystery of the symbols, metaphors, and plan of God embodied within the prophesies of the Bible.
The author of this book is as genuine a person as you will ever meet. God has given this man a very special gift when it comes to studying and understanding the Bible. I have never encountered a person, with such vast understanding and working knowledge of the word of God.
He is not “overtly religious” at all; however, he earnestly seeks God’s truth with all fervency and desire. He is not endeavoring to promote himself, but serves and answers God and Christ obediently. The phrase, “what you see is what you get”, truly describes my friend whom I believe God has called.
I invite you into a place you may have never been before.
The only requirement, I would suggest, is that you rid your mind of all preconceived ideas and the doctrine of men. I invite you to open your spirit and soul to the Holy Spirit of God. Let him guide and teach you on your journey through this book. I believe you will truly be amazed at what you will see and learn.
