Jesus Shall Reign: A Guide to the Book of Revelation

by Gary Tuck

Overview

Centuries before his birth in Bethlehem, God announced through many prophets that he would send the Savior of the world. After he came and purchased redemption and returned to heaven, God announced that he would send him again. Revelation is God's last word before Jesus comes again, this time to seize the throne of Earth, never ever to relinquish it. In Revelation he has disclosed his determined plans for the end of this first creation, "history as we know it," and the inauguration of his glorious eternal kingdom. There is a palpable fever in the church today for cracking the code of Revelation. This book argues Revelation is not as arcane as many think it to be. It is understandable. With a little help of the right kind, the book is accessible. It is largely a matter of recognizing the primary themes and the macro structure. The discovery and integration of those are the particular groundbreaking contribution of this book. With those the big picture message of Revelation opens like a flower. Is your appetite whetted?

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“As one of the countless students who has been shaped by the teaching ministry of Gary Tuck, it is a great joy and honor to commend Jesus Shall Reign. Tuck’s love for the Lord, students, and Scripture shine in this book. Readers will be helped by his characteristic insight into the biblical text (the fruit of a career of study), and his students will have the special blessing of feeling like we are in his classroom again.”

—Kevin Chen, Associate Professor of Old Testament, Christian Witness Theological Seminary, San Jose



“Expertise developed from a lifetime of teaching Scripture is clearly evinced in this fine volume by Tuck. From his introductory thematic overview that helps the reader see both forest and trees in proper perspective, to a terse but illuminating commentary similarly permeated by insightful biblical citations and allusions, Tuck doesn’t hesitate to point out where he feels some popular interpretations mishandle that data. He also admirably maintains a devotional and doxological tone throughout. Highly recommended!”

—Randal Roberts, President emeritus and Professor of Christian Spiritualty, Western Seminary, Portland



“Simply a must-read for anyone interested in knowing or teaching the book of Revelation. Gary Tuck masterfully explains the message of the book and along the way gives his readers a graduate-level class on how interpretation should be done. The beautiful fruit of years of highly skilled labor in the last book of the Bible and the other sixty-five that inform it, all expressed in the most accessible and winsome way.”

—Chris Miller, Senior Professor of Biblical Studies, Cedarville University



“In Jesus Shall Reign, Tuck walks his readers verse by verse through one of the most perplexing books in the canon: Revelation. A helpful resource for pastors, Bible teachers, and students, Tuck avoids elaborate theories and keeps his readers’ focus right where it needs to be: Jesus coming as king to his kingdom.”

—Douglas Estes, editor of The Tree of Life
