"Importance. The Book of Revelation is important because it is the last inspired book of the Bible to be written and is rightly positioned as the New Testament's final book. As the New Testament opens with the four Gospels relating to the first coming of Christ, so the Book of Revelation closes the New Testament with the general theme of the second coming of Christ. The Book of Revelation is also the climax of many lines of revelation running through both Testaments, and it brings to conclusion the revelation of many prophecies yet to be fulfilled" (Walvoord, “Revelation,” in TBKC, vol. 2, 925). At long last we arrive at the back cover of our Bibles and the book of Revelation. And to help us wrap up the series and better understand this often misunderstood, mishandled, and misapplied text we welcome Dr. Michael Stallard. Dr. Stallard currently serves as the director of International Ministries for the Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry. Prior to this he held the position of dean and director of the PHD studies program and professor of systematic theology at Baptist Bible Seminary in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania.
