Bryant's masterful and scholarly work reflects upon the Book of Revelation and spans the time from when John received the Revelation on Patmos until the New Heavens and the New Earth are created and all things become new. The author also approaches the study of the Book of Revelation by utilizing the original blueprint of Revelation, which was given to John by Jesus Christ. The blueprint serves as a framework for understanding the visions contained in the Revelation. The author's unique perspective also resolves what has traditionally been a seemingly insurmountable conflict between the pre-tribulation and mid-tribulation camps. This perspective is best summarized by utilizing the framework for understanding Revelation and understanding that there are three different groups of Christians seen in heaven in three different locations and at three different times.Apocalypse, The Unveiling is essential reading for anybody interested in cutting through the misconceptions surrounding the Book of Revelation, and for understanding how it applies to the modern world.

"Apocalypse, The Unveiling" Maps a blueprint for understanding the visions contained in the Revelation. This framework is constructed of Seven Seals, Seven Trumpet Warnings and Seven Bowl Plagues. All parenthetical passages are explained at the locations where they are encountered in the text. The authors' viewpoint also resolves the conflict between the pre-tribulation camps and mid-tribulation camps. This unique viewpoint is summed up by utilizing the framework mentioned above and realizing that there are three groups of Christians seen in heaven in three different locations and at three different times. - Group one (Revelation 7:9-12) What we commonly call the Rapture - Group two (Revelation 14:1-5) The second group consists of the 144,000 Jewish witnesses seen standing on the heavenly Mt. Zion.- The third group of Christians are seen standing next to the glassy sea mixed with fire after they had been martyred.See this study online at, http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com

The Greek term denotes an unveiling or uncovering—thus, a revelation." "Here is the key to understanding the book. Jesus alone can unlock the meaning of its symbols, visions and descriptions...Christ reveals its meaning. He unlocks its seals. But how does He do it?" "Most of Revelation—about two thirds of its content—is devoted to the seventh seal. The contents of the first six seals are found in chapter 6 alone." "How will the two witnesses and their message be received?" "The book of Revelation reveals, from more than one perspective, the emergence of this vast end-time empire governed from a great city God labels “Babylon the great”, the reference here being to Rome." "Jesus Christ will return to establish that Kingdom on earth (the Kingdom of God) at His second coming, at last bringing the peace mankind has always longed for but never achieved."

From the Preface: There are indeed few books in the Bible where the modern student does not need deft guidance if reading is to prove profitable. In the case of the Book of Revelation that need becomes absolutely essential. When the average student takes up this book, almost without exception the going is tough, the language baffling, the sense of profit minimal. This situation represents a curious reversal, for in earlier centuries no other part of Scripture so greatly intrigued the imagination of Christendom or so greatly fascinated its painters and musicians .... The book at hand is designed to restore the Apocalypse to its rightful place in Christian thinking. The title asserts a continuing conviction: John as a prophet actually saw a new earth. The ordinary ways of perceiving reality had been radically altered by his faith in Christ.... Even moderns., in their traffic with Òthe earth,Ó have accessible a greater diversity of visions than they suppose. The ancient prophet may still have power to enable us to see a new earth. Such at least is the premise that prompted the publication of this book.
