Loading... Please wait...The Book of Revelation Made Easy:
You Can Understand Bible Prophecy (Second edition)
157 pp. Paperback.
Second edition. This is the latest edition, which is expanded and contains some important changes regarding the millennium passage in Revelation 20 that resulted from deeper research into Revelation.
This book is an extremely valuable introduction to Revelation. It is designed with the average Christian in mind. The material arose from years of lectures on Revelation in conferences and in a college setting, as well as while researching a full-length commentary on Revelation.
Do you have questions about how to discern the overarching message of Revelation?
Do you currently understand the general preterist approach to Revelation, but would like
help in showing family and friends what it is all about?
Are you looking for a good book for a small Bible study or Sunday class?
Do you have a dispensationalist friend depressed over missing the latest prediction of the Antichrist, and you
want to console and instruct him?
Do you enjoy watching dispensationalists squirm? :)
Then this book is for you!
In this brief work you will discover an in-depth study of Revelation 1:7 as the theme of Revelation. You will see how it points to the AD 70 judgment of Israel for rejecting ("piercing") the Messiah.
You will also learn how Jerusalem aligned herself with Rome to persecute Christians.
You will find how John consoles the first century saints by providing them with one important glance into the distant future, showing that their Christian faith is here for the long run (Rev. 20).
You will read documentary evidence showing that Revelation was fulfilled in the first century destruction of the Temple, which concluded the old covenant economy and closed out the typological worship in the temple.
In this brief work, the Book of Revelation is "made easy."

Reader reviews:
I never paid any attention to Revelation because it was not understandable to me. After reading this book, Revelation not only made sense, was exciting, but also deeped my faith.
Super book! — Jim
This book really clarifies everything in Revelation. After reading it, you will hit your head with your hand and say: "Oh! I get it now! How did I not see that?" — Jay Scharfenberg
This book changed my mind about popular views of Revelation. Keep in mind this information does not challenge any critical doctrines of the Church, but merely challenges relatively new views of the Book of Revelation. Using the Bible backed by well documented historical accounts, Gentry completely reveals the meaning of the Book of Revelation. Very impressive. — M. Weber
This is a great resource for helping one to better understand the book of Revelation. Well worth the money! — Nancy Hopper
Nice to read a book that was written with some sensible answers for a complex & controversial subject! — Janice
This book is a revelation in itself. I was so excited reading it that I practically underlined the whole book. I loved that the author backed up everything with other scripture instead of man-made conjectures. — R. C. M.
Love your insights. I finally feel like I understand Revelation — Darren (England)

My wife and I first heard Dr. Gentry at the 1999 Ligonier national conference on eschatology. We recently delved back into eschatology, starting with Dr. Sproul's videos on The Last Days according to Jesus. That left us wanting more detail, and this book has provided a solid grounding in how to understand Revelation.

I have bought 7 of these books and passed them on to friends who struggle to reconcile end time scripture, good work Mr. Gentry.

I just finished studying _The Book of Revelation Made Easy_. It made sense.
As a new Christian, I asked my parents for a Scofield Reference Bible for Christmas 1964 and devoured it. Less than a year later during my freshman year in college, I purchased Clarence Larkin’s _Dispensational Truth_. But that book led me to question the whole system when I studied his chapter, "Dispensational Teaching of the Great Pyramid.”
Over the next few years, I fully rejected Dispensationalism and during the fall of 1972, while in seminary, I published an article in _The Covenanter Witness_, my denominational magazine on the Millennium. Doing the research to write that article led me to embrace a somewhat optimistic version of Amillennialism
Since then, I have taught the book of Revelation several times and am currently preaching through it.
I am glad that I have not made it out of chapter 6, because this book has made me rethink my positions significantly regarding chapters 6-19, and I wish that I could purchase Dr. Gentry’s commentary ASAP.
It is the best single volume I have ever read on this wonderful book.

After reading Gentry's book Before Jerusalem Fell, this is a #2 must have to understand that Revelation is God's divorce from Rabbinic Judaism and the the Mother of Harlots is indeed Rabbinic Judaism. The Antichrist may be mimicked in future figures in world history, but thee antichrist was Nero. Get this book.

The book clearly explains The Book of Revelation. Gentry makes excellent arguments for his interpretation.
Posted by David on 1st Nov 2020
Pivotal to understanding the message of any book is the question, "What is the author intending to communicate?" In a highly readable and straightforward — and, very importantly, non-speculative — style, Dr. Gentry helps answer this question. Finally, some sensible material on the book of Revelation! The book is certainly too small to answer all of the insightful student's questions, but it fulfills its purpose well. And it appears other resources for further study by the same author are available ("Navigating the Book of Revelation") or will be available soon (the forthcoming two-volume commentary). May the Lord send that this book and others like it gain a wide readership, so that Revelation will no longer remain "a sealed book to the contemporary Church" (p. 139).

It was a good read - I agree with your analysis of the book of Revelation. I am a preterist as it concerns Matthew 24 and most of Revelation - However, I am Amil and not post-mil. "Revelation Made Easy" addressed the preterist view of which I am. Thanks

An excellent introduction to the preterist interpretation of revelation. Written for the layman to properly understand the basics of the most difficult book of the Bible.

Great short commentary on Revelation - offers compelling evidence for a 1st Century understanding of the book.
