My Bible Commentary

The following commentaries are a result of a weekly Bible study that I have led since 2002. What you read in these commentaries are simply my thoughts based on study that I have done over the years. It's not an exhaustive study. It's not a scholarly study with a vst number of foot notes and bibliography. There are certainly more detailed studies than mine. Hopefully what I say will shed some light on what the Bible says.

Concerning the book of Revelation, I don't pretend to have
all the answers, and, my thinking may change on some particular
aspects to end time events sicne the time of this writing. From time to time, I do, and will,
return to edit the pages found in this commentary.
Note that in my commentary I have taken the view that what is recorded
is not in linear chronology. I've taken the stand that many of the event happen
at the same time, like in a movie. You see one scene. The next scene
takes you back to the same time period as the first scene, and so on.
Although I've written this commentary from that perspective,
that may or may not be true. The events in the Book of Revelation
might well be in chronological order, from beginning to end. That
would not surprise me.
