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.

In this week’s podcast, Mike delves deeper into the “eschatological revolution” coming to the nations. This revolution has already begun and the Holy Spirit is inviting all who will say “yes” to partner with Him as He brings about the fullness of Jesus’ leadership on the planet.
I urge you to listen to Mike Bickle’s teaching from this past Saturday night on the Harlot Babylon (Rev. 17). In this message, Mike gave a very clear trumpet blast exposing the lies and ideology that are emerging in the earth and even in some of the Church.
I believe it is urgent that we understand these false ideas and sentiments because they will lead to a unified, global religion that is part of Satan’s plan to cause many to fall away from the true faith. We must prepare ourselves and others for the dramatic events surrounding this shift of the times. I strongly recommend that you listen to this prophetic message with a prayerful spirit and invite your friends, families and churches to do the same.

Allen Hood and Lou Engle also had this to say about last Saturday night’s teaching on Harlot Babylon:
“It is critical that the Church understands the deception coming to its own doors and that is even already knocking. It is the role of forerunners to rightly discern truth from deception and make it plain to the Body of Christ. We don’t have time to waste in understanding the corrupt and seductive religious and economic system known as Harlot Babylon as we prepare the Church to take its stand on the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” –Allen Hood, Associate Director of IHOP–KC
“The Harlot Babylon system has already begun to infiltrate our nation as our present laws and education reflect its alignment with Her corruption. We must equip ourselves with knowledge and understanding of what Scripture teaches us in the Book of Revelation about this broad-sweeping, Satanically-inspired movement that will touch every sphere of society, including our families and churches. Mike’s trumpet call to the Church to stand on Truth and not waver in the face of political correctness is both loud and clear.” –Lou Engle, President of TheCall
The Book of Revelation has been considered by many people to be an archaic book of obscure symbols that has little or no meaning to humanity. That belief could not be further from the truth. The video below, by Mike Bickle from the International House of Prayer, gives an excellent summary of the key symbols and events that are yet to come.
The Book of Revelation reveals the glory of Jesus (Rev. 1:1) and His dramatic plan to transition the earth to the age-to-come. There will be unique dynamics in the generation Jesus returns that are absolutely necessary in preparing the nations for His return. These events require our deep involvement. Thus, Jesus gives us the details which are essential to equip us to fully participate.
