The Book of Revelation is one of the most misunderstood and neglected books in the Bible, partly because of its Apocalyptic genre which is a literary form that is not used anymore. Yet, it is also misunderstood because most Christians are unfamiliar with the historical-cultural context of first-century Christianity and Judaism in the Roman Empire. The Revelation is far more relevant for Christian's daily lives as the church advances the gospel throughout the world than most people realize, specifically written to believers "to unveil" the reign of their Lord over the earth and the binding of Satan, the Spirit and the Bride (through the proclamation of the gospel) opening the eyes of the nations that he had blinded over the course of centuries. This commentary seeks to quote and cite as much of the history as possible to bring out the book's first-century meaning and present applications.
