Overview

A Much Abused Simple Story. A Bible Story ... in History. 346 pages, 48 illustrations, index A systematic, and believable overview of Revelation. A synthesis of the message Revelation with whole Bible. It presents Bible prophecy as an overview of time and history. Mr Fain takes all of our old presuppositions about Revelation and turns them on their heads. Then he has the audacity to actually present unequivocal evidence for the things he says. It is: Electrifying! Satisfying! Unsettling! This study outlines the key parameters by which we should approach and study the book of Revelation, and view our present age. It assumes its message is not independent of the whole Bible. This is not a ""cover it all"" book. It fills in many key pieces of information: How the Visions should be Taken. Why the prophets of old are relevant. Why ancient Rome is at best symbolic. Why the Caesars do NOT fit ""the beast."" Why many pseudo-messiahs fit parts of the story. Why Mystery Babylon is NOT big government. Why Revelation is pertinent to the entire Christian Age. In general this book gives the criteria for fulfillments, but not the identification. The ""what"" to look for, and not the ""who."" At times it merely outlines the ambiguities with which we are presented, assumes they are there for a reason, and does not try to artificially resolve them. It applies the insights of Fain's previous volume Prophecy Principles to the study of Revelation. Here are the tools for a second look at the book of Revelation!

Revealing the Christian Age is not just another commentary on Revelation, but is, as the subtitle clarifies, ""a Synthesis of the Prophets and Revelation."" By interweaving the messages of Daniel, Ezekiel and Isaiah, and to a lesser extent Jeremiah, with the message of Revelation, Fain demonstrates that the message of the prophets and Revelation is the story of the sovereign God working out his plan and purposes in human history, a history that culminates in the age of Christ the King. Fain also demonstrates a depth of knowledge of ancient history and employs it well to illuminate the biblical text. Fain's approach is panoramic, coherent, instructive. There is no consensus on Revelation, but one truth emerges from his study on which all should be able to agree: we are still living in the biblical story and we need to pay attention to the God who is the author of that story! Dennis Connor, Raleigh, North Carolina Neal Fain's Revealing the Christian Age holds exceedingly faithful to its subtitle, A Synthesis of the Prophets and Revelation. Page after page cites connections between Old Testament prophesies and the text of Revelation. Fain makes the case for a systemic, integrated reading of Scripture, for hearing God's singular voice from cover to cover. His respect for Scripture is both laudable and encouraging. Revealing the Christian Age will make you think and challenge you to read the text again. Are we hearing God accurately? Are we recognizing the allusions? Are we reading holistically? Are we letting the whole of Scripture aid our understanding? Fain has written a book well worth reading and discussing with fellow believers. Dr. Bill Bagents, Heritage Christian University Neal Fain has written a study of the Revelation and the Prophets entitled Revealing the Christian Age. The 348 page book is a substantial and enlightening contribution to the study of the Apocalypse. Using the full scope of the prophetic literature, brother Fain explores the first century meaning and the modern-day significance of the book of Revelation. Neal's previous study of Prophecy Principles equipped him to approach the events and symbols of the great Apocalypse. Neal uses apocalyptic images from all over the Bible to help him interpret what is read in Revelation. His technique makes sense and is highly effective. This approach reveals Neal's wide grasp of the prophetic literature of the Bible. He views Revelation as predictive of events that will be fulfilled in the Christian age climaxed by the return of Christ. Larry Murdock, Lawrenceburg, Tennesse
