Anyone wishing to study Revelation is strongly recommended to enlist the aid of David Pawson’s excellent, common sense, guidance. Mr. Pawson points out that the Revelation was written down for ordinary believers, not academics, and is thus best read by ordinary believers.

J. David Pawson (born 1930) is a prominent contemporary Bible teacher and Christian Zionist based in Great Britain. He is known for his firm belief in the infallibility and inerrancy of the text of the Bible as the authoritative word of God, while explaining its meaning and context. He has a reputation of following the teaching of Scripture even when it clashes with church tradition, and he also often deals with ‘hot topics’ about which Christians have a wide range of views. He is therefore frequently controversial, although he is generally respected by Christians of differing views for his concern for truth.

He critically considers in the light of scripture the major views on eschatology popular in the church today, specifically the preterist, historicist, futurist and idealist schools of interpretation of the Book of Revelation. He rejects postmillennialism in favour of a premillennial understanding of the Second Coming, so that Jesus will return bodily in power immediately before his reign over the world for a millennium from Jerusalem. He asserts that the supernatural taking up of believers alive at this time (following the ‘tribulation’ period of persecution), so as to join the returning Christ, fulfils the Rapture prophecies; he argues against a pre-tribulation timing of the rapture. He further argues that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land is a fulfilment of scriptural prophecy, and that prophecies spoken about Israel relate specifically to Israel (not to the church), so that the outstanding prophecies about Israel will be fulfilled in the end times.

This 10 CD series by David Pawson on the Book of Revelation is one of the best series available and is vital to understanding the last days. This seminar was recorded in Kansas City in May of 2002.
