SUMMARY An in-depth and scholarly study of Bible prophecy, focusing on the 'seven seals' in the book of Revelation (chapters 6 & 7). The true meaning of those (hitherto misunderstood) seals holds the key to understanding Biblical eschatology. A seminal work involving groundbreaking insights, based upon systematic exegesis of Scripture and critical historical analyses, this book is far from being a restatement of currently popular ideas related to Bible prophecy. Important questions are answered, and controversial issues are meticulously addressed, including the following: TOPICS 1) Elucidating the true meaning of the seven seals (in Revelation) 2) Revealing the "sign of Christ's coming", as Jesus defined that 3) Documenting the historical fulfillment (of the first five) of those seals 4) Identifying the time of the Rapture of the Church, relative to other, discernible events 5) Exposing the mis-identification of the Antichrist and the time of his appearing (in Scripture) 6) Resolving the question, whether Salvation shall be possible after the Rapture 7) Describing the true nature of the 'day of the Lord' (so-called Tribulation) 8) Unveiling the true nature of the Resurrection and of the Rapture of the Church 9) Explaining the role of the then 'glorified' saints, during the day of the Lord 10) Refuting numerous doctrinal errors and mistaken ideas pertaining to Bible prophecy AUDIENCE "The Seven Seals in Prophecy and in History" should be of great value to Bible scholars, including seminary professors and students. Yet, because it was designed to be understandable and useful to a much wider audience of Adult Readers, especially, Christians who are reasonably familiar with the text of the Bible, this book should be very helpful to everyone who is interested in the study and/or teaching of Bible prophecy. Its publication is very timely, due to popular interest pertaining to End-time events. CHAPTER TITLES 1. Can We Know? 2. the Heavenly Vision 3. the Sign of His Coming 4.
