This book offers a clear, verse-by-verse exegesis of the Book of Revelation, presenting a balanced pre-millennial interpretation grounded in historical-grammatical hermeneutics. Praised for its accessible yet scholarly approach, it equips readers with a deeper understanding of end-times prophecy and the spiritual blessings promised to those who study Revelation. ## Description "The end of the world is coming." From roadside signs to science fiction films, this slogan underscores our society’s nervous fascination with the future. Whether it’s a giant asteroid, a worldwide plague, or some other global catastrophe, the end of the world is a terrifying prospect—at least for those who have no idea what it will be like. For Christians, however, the end of the world should be anything but dreadful. In fact, it should be something we look forward to. Why? Because God has told us how the world will end. And He has assured us that the end of this age will mark the beginning of a new, glorious one in which we will serve and worship Him in sinless perfection. Our eternal hope, as believers, is intimately tied to the end of this world. All of this is laid out in the book of Revelation. Not only is Revelation the inspired Word of God, it is also the only New Testament book that includes a promised spiritual blessing for those who study and apply its message. As such, it is an essential part of every Christian’s devotional life. Those who ignore Revelation deprive themselves of a rich treasure of divine truth, and the promised blessings that come from understanding that truth. Join John MacArthur as he explains the book of Revelation in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. Review: Abridged commentary with solid exegesis and careful detail - This book is an abridged version of Dr. MacArthur's two-volume Revelation commentary. In this book, he takes a verse-by-verse exegetical walkthrough of the book of Revelation using the consistent contextual-literal hermeneutic one would expect from Dr. MacArthur. (Perhaps a more appropriate label for "contextual-literal" would be the "historical-grammatical context" - that is, "How would the original audience have understood the passage at face value?") This is a great read for the layperson interested in understanding the events foretold by the Holy Spirit through the apostle John in the book of Revelation, as well as for those interested in how a consistent hermeneutic interprets the book of Revelation. It is also highly recommended for those curious how pre-millennialists interpret Revelation and understand the events of the end times to unfold, as MacArthur's writing is clear, concise, and yet respectful toward brethren of other millennial mindsets while clearly laying out verse by verse what the Scripture says. As Christian theologians of every millennial leaning tend to agree (including those who ascribe to post-millennial or a-millennial points of view), using a consistent hermeneutic through all of Scripture will lead one to a pre-millennial point of view. Given MacAthur's conviction for a consistent approach to the interpretation of Scripture, you will find his perspective is very much pre-millennial (as opposed to post-millennial, a-millennial, preterist, etc). Yet when it comes to the most difficult passages to interpret, he avoids making the rash presuppositions and outlandish interpretations that one would find characteristic of the 'Left Behind' crowd. (Perhaps it is irony then that Tim LaHaye provides one of the supporting quotes on the back cover.) I find this one of the most attractive things about the book: I could give this book to anyone with an interest in Revelation with the confidence that the content will educate them on the basics, encourage them to study further, and effect a greater love for the Word of God. As with his other books, it is written in an easy-to-read style (and typeface) that packs a lot of content yet doesn't tire the mind ( or the eyes). His average book seems to come in around 200-250 pages; this one is slightly longer at 338 pages, but thankfully so as the subject matter warrants every page. At no time did it seem overly verbose for the sake of length - a couple times I would have appreciated even more depth (though for that one can purchase the full-length, two-volume commentary). Review: Wow!!! - Terrifying, enlightening, educational, and encouraging all in one. Absolutely fantastic read. This book is more than well worth your time especially if you are an Eschatology fan. ## Features - Author: John MacArthur. - Publisher: Moody Publishers - Pages: 368 - Publication Date: 2007-03-01 - Edition: New - Binding: Paperback - MSRP: 11.3 - ISBN13: 9780802407283 - ISBN: 0802407285 - Other ISBN: 9780802480392 - Other ISBN Binding: printisbn - Language: en ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #64,167 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #89 in Christian Prophecies #117 in New Testament Commentaries #119 in Christian Eschatology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,427 Reviews | ## Images ![Because the Time is Near: John MacArthur Explains the Book of Revelation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1c0rtJLWJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Abridged commentary with solid exegesis and careful detail *by J***Y on March 24, 2007* This book is an abridged version of Dr. MacArthur's two-volume Revelation commentary.

Absolutely fantastic read. This book is more than well worth your time especially if you are an Eschatology fan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Understanding End Times *by R***N on June 27, 2018* Many Christians view the book of Revelation as mystifying symbolism and striking imagery and may be bewildered by it. For this reason, many believers and church leaders avoid serious study of the book. Some may actually dread the end of time as we know it, but for Christians, the end of the world should be anything but dreadful. It should be something we actually look forward to, because God has told us how it will end. The end of this age will mark the beginning of a new, glorious one in which we will serve and worship Him in sinless perfection. All of this is laid out in the book of Revelation - the only New Testament book that includes a promised spiritual blessing for those who study and apply its message. It should be an essential part of every Christian's devotional life. After all, Revelation promises blessings to those who read it and adhere to its message. John Macarthur explains the book of Revelation in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. He does an excellent work in explaining end times based on Scripture and the study of what God has revealed. However, there are still many mysteries man cannot know, and that is when we must leave it in God's hands and be grateful for what He has revealed. Lack of understanding may bring fear, but Macarthur takes the reins and connects the dots of what is revealed in a most understandable manner - without the pretentiousness of having ALL the answers. Macarthur's explains the book of Revelation in such a manner that satisfies the reader's desire for deeper understanding of end times. I give "Because the Time is Near" by John Macarthur a 5-star review.
