The Book of Revelation a Series of Outline Studies in the Apocalypse - Paperback

Note the title of the book. It is not "the concealment" but "the revelation" of Jesus Christ. It is well to mark this. For many say this book of Revelation is a mystery; it is a sealed book; God never meant nor expected His children to understand it. But the mere title of the book refutes such a view. For revelation means the "uncovering" or "unveiling" of that which has been hidden, not the concealing of it. Moreover, the next sentence declares that God gave it unto Jesus Christ "to show unto His servants." Hence we cannot defend our neglect and woeful ignorance of this wondrous book by asserting that it is not meant to be known. God says it is, and that it is given to be shown, not to be concealed. Neither does He tell us it is useless to read it...
