In this issue, I am presenting the final instalment (unit 12-17) of my teaching on the book of Revelation. We will be looking at Revelation 12-22.
Last year, I published a general introduction as well as a more detailed look at the text of Revelation 1-11. I will include these 11 units in the overview below, so it is all in one place.
All units are available both as video podcasts on YouTube and as a complete script for each unit as a PDF, consisting of slides with text. New are units 12-17.
A brief bibliography on Revelation with books I have found particularly helpful is included at the end. First, video:
