The Revelation - The Real Story: A Small Group Study from the Orthodox Preterist View

The book of Revelation has mystified, confused, and sometimes terrified its readers for almost two-thousand years. It also has been abused by prophecy teachers who major in sensationalism rather than proper interpretation methods. However, when understood in its first-century context, its Biblical context, and when using the Bible rather than the newspaper to understand its symbols, the real story unfolds for itself. The Revelation is not the revealing of the anti-Christ (that name never even appears in the book). It is not the revealing of the end of the world. It is not the revealing of the devil, 666, the beast of the false-prophet. It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. It is the prophecy that declares the end of the Old Covenant and the revealing of the Bride of Christ. Pastor Pete Tremblay opens up the Revelation in a short small-group study format based on a series of teaching sermons that take us through the Revelation. We discover the link between the prophesied and now fulfilled events of the Jewish War from 66-70 a.d. and the warnings of Jesus Christ to that generation of the Jewish people that rejected their Messiah. This study is unashamedly given from the Orthodox Preterist view; that most of the Revelation (chapters 4-19) were fulfilled in the first century and the only remaining prophetic event for the Church is the second coming of Christ on the last day of time to resurrect and judge both living and dead, and resurrect the world and cosmos returning them to their original glory before sin marred the creation. This is not an exhaustive verse by verse commentary. Instead it is a walk through the picture-book of the Revelation in an attempt to understand how it fits into the remainder of God's Word.
