Publisher's Description
This commentary on Revelation is for those who are looking for an easy-to-read, biblically central, and Christologically focused commentary on one of the most intriguing books of the Bible. It is a shame that pastors and followers of Jesus avoid the book of Revelation because of the confusing theories they heard about in the past, or just too many movies! This commentary attempts to get away from the needless debate (though different views are presented) and focus the reader's attention on the primary focus of the book, the Lamb of God. The Lamb holds history in his hand by virtue of his eternal authority and his invested authority because of the blood that he spilled and his testimony. Therein lies his victory, and therein lies the victory for those who follow him.

“Andrew Brake is to be commended for this most readable and informative contribution to the exposition of Revelation. The reader will benefit from the author’s sensitivity to the pastoral heart of John the Apostle. The importance of the intertextuality of the OT and the NT for the interpretation of John’s visions is explored in detail. The emphasis on encouragement and perseverance is a timely message for the global church. The Christological focus on the visions of the Lamb will appropriately lead the reader to the worship of the Lamb.”
“In Visions of the Lamb of God: A Commentary on the Book of Revelation, Andrew Brake tries to focus his explanation about Jesus and His sovereignty in various situations, conditions, and events on the earth, because He is the King who rules the universe forever and He will bring His people to His Kingdom. . . . The purpose of this book is for people to understand that they do not need to fear political, social, and economic disorder in the last days because there is hope in Jesus. His people are the victors by His blood and the witness of His people.”
