LONGWOOD, FL-When St. John penned the book of Revelation, he probably never dreamed how much consternation and debate within the church he would stir up centuries later. Here to offer help is author Handley H. Edlin, who cracks the code of the "seven seals" and seven church ages in his book Commentary on the Revelation of Jesus Christ (paperback, 978-1-60266-196-7). The book gives an explanation of end-time prophecy that will help readers to recognize signs described in the perplexing text of Revelation. Edlin identifies which church age we are in as well as what action we can expect next from God in RevelationŐs infallible yet murky timeline.
"I hope this work can help end-time Christians who will be searching for anything that will give hope and encouragement," says Edlin. "My goal is to help readers identify the events as they are happening because end-time prophecy is being fulfilled today."
Edlin has been a student of the Bible for 60 years. From 1997 to 1998, he taught a lesson on the book of Revelation at an adult Bible school class, and it is from these meditations that he drew material for Commentary. He hopes his book will expose to view the nature of Christ in the past, present, and future, and ultimately bring us a modicum of peace and tranquility in knowing that our futures all lie in safe, loving hands.
Handley H. Edlin has taught the Bible for more than 50 years and is still teaching. He was ordained at age 29. He has ministered four and a half years to Sonora Christian Church and 12 years to Salem Christian Church, both of Larue County, Kentucky.
