DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is a first of its kind: an innovative exegetical commentary on the messages (letters) to the Seven Churches in Revelation (Rev 2-3). It examines the Graeco-Roman local references from the first century, in the tradition of William Ramsay and Colin Hemer, but also considers the Hebraic-Semitic covenant lawsuit influences and deals with the material set out in Graves' PhD dissertation "The Influence of Ancient Near Eastern Vassal Treaties on the Seven Prophetic Messages in Revelation with Special Reference to the Message to Smyrna" at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland (2008). All of the seven cities are considered under a chapter on the historical setting of the city and a theological commentary of the text. It is the first commentary of the seven messages arranged after the ancient Near Eastern vassal treaty structure of preamble, historical prologue, stipulations, blessing and cursing, witness, and deposit/public reading. A scholarly/academic commentary, yet accessible for students, pastors, scholars, teachers, seminarians, and interested laypeople.

Is he angry at my fears and failings? How do I know what the Spirit is saying? How do I overcome life’s trials? What makes me worthy to walk with the Lord? Am I lukewarm? Does God punish me when I sin? Will Jesus erase my name from his book? And many more! Get your copy now.
