THE FUNCTION OF AN INTRODUCTION
The Necessity of an Introduction
The Goal and Method of Presentation
The revelation of Jesus Christ
The things that must happen quickly
Having sent through his messenger
The word of God and the testimony of Jesus
The first born of the dead ones
Into the age of the ages. Amen
Look! He comes with the clouds
Even the ones who stabbed [him]
I am the Alpha, and I am the Omega
I was on the island called Patmos
Voice loud as a trumpet saying
To Ephesus, Pergamum, Thyatira, Smyrna, Philadelphia, and Laodicia
When I turned, I saw seven gold lamp stands
The hair of his head was white
His eyes were like a flame of fire
His feet were like burnished brass
Like the sound of much water [running]
From his mouth went out a sharp sword
Like the sun [disk] in its might
When I saw him I fell at his feet
I have the keys of death and Hades
The things that are about to happen after this
The Mystery of the seven stars
The seven stars are messengers of the seven churches
THE MESSENGER WHO CAME TO JOHN AT PATMOS
JOHN, THE ANGELOS, AND THE LITERATURE

About The Book of Revelation: Its Introduction and ProphecyIn this substantial volume, academic George Wesley Buchanan turns his attention to the book of Revelation, presenting his remarks from an intertextual point of view. Taking each chapter of Revelation at a time, Buchanan examines the text and literary ramifications, and then gives insightful commentary. Comparing to other Scripture texts as well as historical and social contexts, Buchanan’s work on Revelation is essential to any student of the apocalypse. He also provides an introduction to intertextual discourse, conclusion, and a list of helpful appendices. |
