The Scroll

By David Finch

Distressed over his own poor understanding of John's apocalyptic vision, the author took a deep dive into Revelation. What emerged from his years of study was an amazing time-linear story of the unveiling of Jesus Christ, from before this creation to the beginning of the next.

The Scroll is an imaginative and colorful telling of the events being described by Revelation chapters 4-12 using a short story-like approach. The author invites you to view this complex vision with new eyes, and once you see the simple story being told, you won't be able to unsee it!

To my dear wife, Sonja, who encouraged me to undertake this study of the Apocalypse

Foreword

In 1987, I completed my doctoral thesis on eschatology. In doing so, I combed through the Revelation, as well as the Old Testament writings that inscribe this subject. When I had concluded what would be a 180-page dissertation, I realized that I still understood very little about this crucial subject. The lexicon of terms, the contrast in definitions, and the precariousness of timelines left both the scholarly and the devoted student somewhat mystified and confused. The incomprehensibility of this perplexing major Bible doctrine has left the majority of all writings on this subject enigmatic. In his research for this book, Dr. David Finch not only includes the biblical authors who address the Apocalypse, but he also includes various other ancient sacred texts as well as the books of the Apocrypha that address this subject. It has been said that a good book will make one think. That being the case, this is a great book, well-written, and coherent. From an eschatological point of view, this is
