Too often Revelation is viewed as a book only about the future. As G.K. Beale shows, however, Revelation is not merely a futurology but a book about how the church should live for the glory of God throughout the ages - including our own."--Jacket00aBible.pRevelationvCommentaries 7aCommentaries.2fast0(OCoLC)fst0142372308iOnline version:aBeale, G.K.
