Description    

This is a topic commentary on Revelation. Instead of getting bogged down on timelines and meanings, this book examines the role Christians will be playing for all eternity. Christians will not be sitting on clouds and playing harps for ever and ever. Instead they will have very busy lives serving their Savior as He rules and reigns on the earth. The book not only discusses the various positions mentioned in heaven, but offers job descriptions and word studies.

In 1990 a most incredible thing happened, pastor's left leg was snapped in an agriculture accident. Medical treatment assumed it was only a simple bone fracture. Three years later it was discovered that the accident had shredded the insides of the leg and things were not repairable. He was left with severe chronic pain and a nervous system disorder. Turning to God for answers, this book was the result. Pastor became very aware that life is not a statistics game where one tried to gain fame and notoriety among men, but instead it is a training ground for eternity. Being injured is not an impediment in God’s program, but instead a wonderful opportunity to grow and demonstrate God’s enabling power.

Being laid up for most of the day, Pastor has been given an incredible opportunity to pursue Bible Study and prayer. The message of God’s Word has burdened his heart with a desire that others can benefit from God’s help and see the vision presented in Scripture. This book has helped many people, and it is hoped to bring answers and understanding to many others.
