Revelation Realized: A Verse-By-Verse Discovery of the Last Book of the Bible
Many find the book of Revelation to be mysterious. The language and symbolism seem strange to the modern ear. Beasts, Plagues, Armageddon, Heaven, Locusts, Bowls, etc... draw us in and invite us to learn more.
Revelation Realized opens up the book of Revelation in a way few other books have been able to do. It is a commentary, yet at the same time, devotional in nature. It both explains, and causes us to worship.
In these 300+ pages, you will not only learn what the book of Revelation means, but also your purpose in the grand scheme of things.
"Revelation Realized is a must have study. Dr. Davis has done a fabulous job outlining and commenting on this much neglected but fascinating book. It's devotional quality makes it a most valuable resource. In the same way the Revelation offers a blessing to those who read it, I believe that blessing will be extended to all who purchase and use "Revelation Realized." -- Kenny Rhodes, Ph.D., President -- Scofield Seminary
"Dr. Barry Davis has done a superb job putting together a wonderful study on the book of Revelation. We are all aware that there are many perspectives on how to interpret this awesome book of Scripture but what impressed me about Revelation Realized is how it magnifies Christ and keeps the focus on him. There is a wealth of great material in this work to serve up from the pulpit or in a Bible study class. Again, great job Barry!" -- Pastor Eddie Lawrence, D. Min., Pastor -- Grace House Church, Florence, AL
