Revelation's Great Love Story: More Than I Ever Imagined

Revelation's Great Love Story: More Than I Ever Imagined by Larry L. Lichtenwalter. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780812704600.

The Book of Revelation. The Apocalypse. Words that often call to mind bizarre creatures, strange seals, dreadful plagues, and a slew of other mystifying symbols. Most of us approach this last book of the Bible with forebodings rather than hope. To us Johns vision seems more like a nightmare. But the elderly apostle begins with a statement that doesnt seem to fit the rest of the book: "The revelation of Jesus Christ." Apparently he intends to unveil something tremendously important about Jesus. Something life-changing. Something we cant afford to miss. Larry Lichtenwalter explores a side of Revelation seldom portrayed: Christs passionate love for humanity. This recurring theme subtly appears in the imagery and symbolism throughout Johns vision. The slain Lamb. The divine protective sealing. The blood-bleached-white robes. The heart-wrenching prayer of the saints. Without Christs love, these scenes and symbols would mean nothing. Ultimately Johns vision reveals the extraordinary love of our Savior for His rebellious, undeserving children--and the incredible reasons we can love Him in return.
