There exists a place, a throne room, more immense, more majestic than any that have ever or will ever be found on this planet. In that throne room there is a throne upon which the LORD God Almighty, Creator of the Universe and all that exists within it, sits. He sits, who is called YHVH or Jehovah, the great "I AM," who alone exists independent of all else, who has no material form, yet chooses to appear in such form for the benefit of His creation. Few mortals have ever been granted the miraculous privilege of witnessing this place. Those that were, Isaiah and Ezekiel and possibly the apostle Paul, fainted in awe, speechless at the sight. The apostle John too was summoned to see this sight, to reveal it to the children of God as they await that glorious day when their Lord, in that very throne room, will be crowned sovereign over all creation. The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is that revelation to us.
This work is an attempt by the author to demonstrate that Revelation is a glimpse of the coronation ceremony of our Lord as He is crowned King of all kings and Lord of all lords, sovereign over all the creation of God. It is not a detailed commentary of this book of Scripture but rather it paints a broader picture.
The author lays out his presuppositions in the first chapter, discusses the structure then gives an overview in chapters two and three. The remaining chapters, four through thirty-two, take one through the Book of Revelation from beginning to end.
