Revelation Revealed
Understanding the Book of Revelation
by Nick Peros
Imprint: Wipf and Stock
Revelation Revealed is a study of the book of Revelation. It is not an "end-times" book in that it does not seek to identify current events in the light of Bible prophecy; rather, Revelation Revealed examines the book of Revelation itself--what are its key imagery and symbols? What do they mean? What are the timelines of the book? What is the sequence of events? What are the Days of Noah? Who is "the Beast" and how do we understand him? What is the "mark of the Beast"? How do we understand "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes"? Is there a rapture? All of these questions, and many more, are addressed, with all questions being approached exclusively from the standpoint of Scripture itself--it is Scripture which answers these questions for us, and clear conclusions are reached. The events outlined in the book of Revelation are the most-prophesied events in the Bible, and Revelation Revealed shows that the book of Revelation is understandable, for God has given us all that we need in order to understand it.

“A fresh, in-depth perspective that unpacks the symbolism, flow, and timelines of the book of Revelation. Unrestrained from traditional theological interpretations, this work seeks to use the Bible to interpret the Bible. It will challenge many presumptions and send you scurrying for reference books, concordances, and commentaries. Most importantly, it will pull you into the pages of Scripture. May it remind you that God is in control, actively bringing about the establishment of his kingdom.”
—Andrew Gordon, pastor, teacher, spiritual director
“Peros helps the reader explore one of the most difficult books of the Bible. Revelation Revealed explores an enormous amount of Scripture to help make sense of the symbols, imagery, timelines, and structure of a very confusing book of the Bible. . . . Peros’s work on the structure of the book and unique connections to ancient theological debates will be sure to help open up new conversations for Bible studies and small groups.”
