Publisher's Synopsis
It was dangerous to be a Christian when John wrote Revelation. Christians were suffering the loss of jobs and social standing. Some were in prison, and some had even been killed. They needed a message from God that spoke to their need and their time. Revelation was that message. Dr. Campbell believes this fact is the key to understanding the entire book of Revelation. Therefore, He Shall Reign takes readers into the Old Testament origins of the signs and symbols of Revelation, and shows their application to the life and death situation of first century Christianity. If you have ever wondered what Revelation said to the original readers, if you have been perplexed by the symbols, if you are confused by the multiple interpretations of Revelation that abound today, or if you seriously want a better understanding of Revelation, He Shall Reign is a must-read.
