Revelation, "Victory In Christ"


FOREWORD

These outlines on the book of Revelation were originally prepared for use in the country of Australia. Robert F. Turner and I made a three-month trip "Down Under" in 1977, and we arranged our special studies so they could be completed within ten sessions. At the request of many friends who sought a copy, I am reproducing this material and also adding study questions which I have used to teach this book in Bible classes.

I hold no claim to being a "scholar" nor an "authority" on the book of Revelation. What I know I learned from others. Although my sources of in- formation are varied, I treasure in highest esteem brother Homer Halley who first quickened my interest in this grand book while I sat as his student at Florida College in 1958. On many occasions since, I have heard him lecture on the book of Revelation, and he has sharpened my interest and increased my understanding. I am indebted to him for thrilling my heart by his description and explanation of the great conflict out of which the Christ comes victorious as LORD OF LORDS and KING OF KINGS.

I offer this booklet with the prayer that the student who uses it will glean from Revelation the courage to persevere in serving Christ at all cost, and that each will experience the highest joy as he considers the reward awaiting the faithful.
