Excerpt from The Book of Revelation In ordinary circumstances one who undertakes to comment upon a book of the New Testament may be justly expected to make every effort to explain each successive clause and each difficult expression of the book on which he writes. My aim in the following Commentary is rather to catch the general import and object of the Revelation of St. John considered as a whole. The latter purpose indeed cannot be attained unless the commentator has himself paid faithful attention to the former; but it is not necessary that the results of these inquiries should in every case be presented to the English reader. To him this book is for the most part a perplexity and enigma, and he would only be embarrassed by a multitude of details. It seemed well, therefore, to treat the book in its sections and paragraphs rather than verse by verse; and this is the course pursued in the following pages. The translation used is for the most part that of the Revised Version. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Book of the Revelation The Book of Revelation is not one the whole meaning of which lies upon the surface. It differs from the other books of the New Testament in this, that the ideas it contains are expressed not only in words, but in words and symbols. The meaning of the symbols must have been clear to the first readers, but is not longer obvious to us. It can only be ascertained when patient investigation in many fields has reconstructed the political, social, and religious environment of the Christian communities in "Asia" at the end of the first century. That reconstruction is not yet complete, but the remarkable progress of recent years makes it already possible to interpret with considerable certainty nearly all the symbols which are used, and thus to read the book approximately as it was read by those to whom it was first addressed.

Excerpt from Lectures on the Book of Revelation The work before the reader consists of lectures delivered in the ordinary course of ministry, taken in short hand, and now published for the second time. Much matter of a practical nature, due to the wants of the souls addressed, has been omitted; for which were substituted remarks of a more critical character, a few when the exposition was first printed, and now with considerably greater fulness and frequency. Mr. Elliott will find that his observations are subjected to an examination, always, I trust, friendly, but sometimes searching. He is not the man, however, to complain, because I have endeavoured, chapter by chapter, to bear in mind the capital points of the Historical system, which, through his able pen, has attained its neatest shape, with the most elaborate apparatus of evidence and argument in its favour. Of his zeal for truth, no less than of his general learning and minute research, specially in history and antiquities, it is hardly needful to say that any estimate of mine differs not from that shared by almost all who know himself and the Horae Apocalypticae. If I have spoken with plainness and decision, in matters which involve an adequate knowledge of the balance of testimony for and against disputed readings, or an accurate and comprehensive grasp of Scripture, in particular of prophecy, it is because I believe that these are his weaker points, and that his just reputation in some things might expose less instructed and indiscriminating admirers to be misled in others. Whether I have shown sufficient grounds for rejecting Historicalism, not as a partial accomplishment, but as the complete and exclusive fulfilment of the Apocalypse, it is not for me to say.

This monumental commentary on the book of Revelation, originally published in 1999, has been highly acclaimed by scholars, pastors, students, and others seriously interested in interpreting the Apocalypse for the benefit of the church. Too often Revelation is viewed as a book only about the future. As G. K. Beale shows, however, Revelation is not merely a futurology but a book about how the church should live for the glory of God throughout the ages -- including our own. Engaging important questions concerning the interpretation of Revelation in scholarship today, as well as interacting with the various viewpoints scholars hold on these issues, Beale's work makes a major contribution in the much-debated area of how the Old Testament is used in the Apocalypse. Approaching Revelation in terms of its own historical background and literary character, Beale argues convincingly that John's use of Old Testament allusions -- and the way the Jewish exegetical tradition interpreted these same allusions -- provides the key for unlocking the meaning of Revelation's many obscure metaphors. In the course of Beale's careful verse-by-verse exegesis, which also untangles the logical flow of John's thought as it develops from chapter to chapter, it becomes clear that Revelation's challenging pictures are best understood not by apparent technological and contemporary parallels in the twentieth century but by Old Testament and Jewish parallels from the distant past.

Excerpt from The Book of Revelation: A Series of Expositions These lectures were projected, and more than half of them delivered to the people it is my happiness to serve in the Gospel, before I had any thought of their seeing the light in their present form. It was only after many entreaties on the part of others, and much hesitation on my own, that I consented to their publication. And this, not because of misgivings as to the soundness of the views advanced, but rather from a deep and unaffected consciousness of my unworthiness to deal adequately with so exalted a theme. Yet even a little help may be welcome to some and I was anxious that those who had heard these lectures should be able to review, as a whole, that exposition which had, of course, been brought before them in separate parts, and at intervals extending over several months.

Excerpt from Exposition of the Book of Revelation The statements of this book are to be taken literally except where its allegorical nature is directly stated. The language of numbers holds a large place in this book which is divided into seven parts and each part into sub-sections of sevens, more or less clearly defined. The reasons for collecting these scattered fragments and giving them to the public, is the conviction wrought by more than thirty years in the pastorate, that the Book of Revelation is an essential but very much neglected por tion of the Holy Scriptures; also that much of an unsound nature has been written on this portion of the Holy Word, calling the more for a presentation of its blessed truths from a strictly orthodox standpoint. A large part of the works written on this book belong to the order of the cyclopaedia, and are adapted for schol ars and theologians. This work is designed for those who have not the time to peruse the more elaborate works. This is not a controversial work, neither is it proposed to give the steps leading to the positions taken, but is rather a summary of conclusions. These humble pages are sent forth to the world with the sincere desire and prayer that they may do good. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
