A Private Commentary on the Bible - James D Quiggle - Bog

The commentary is based on the fact the Revelation of Jesus Christ is not apocalyptic, it is not the work of John the apostle, it is a prophecy of yet-future events revealed to John by Jesus Christ. John wrote exactly what he saw and heard. Jesus is the author, John was the scribe and publisher. This volume is the third and final volume in the series. The earlier volumes are Revelation 1-7, Revelation 8-16. This commentary on Revelation 17-22 interprets the judgment of Babylon as a literal judgment, the second advent as the literal feet-on-ground return of Jesus Christ, the thousand year rule of the Davidic-Messianic Kingdom on earth as literal, and the Great White Throne, the Lake of Fire, the new heaven and earth, and the new Jerusalem on the new earth as literal events. The theological point of view is Reformed and Dispensational. The futurist model is applied. The interpretation rigorously and consistently applies the Historical-Grammatical hermeneutic to every verse, every doctrine, every symbol, every figure of speech. Symbols and figures of speech are interpreted by other biblical usage to reveal literal truths. To interpret this 66th book of the Bible I have applied what the Holy Spirit has revealed in the preceding 65 books.
