The New Conqueror

REVELATION IN OUR TIME: A TRILOGY MAKING CLEAR GOD'S PLAN AND PURPOSE IN CREATION TO PREPARE HIS SONS TO SHARE HIS THRONE. **** BOOK I - The Revealing of God is an exegesis of the great prophetic book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible. Clearly sent to the churches, the book is designed to complete God's revelation of himself to the Christian believer. It ties together and is coherent with all previous scripture and establishes that the one who is God of the cosmos has a plan and purpose in creation that embraces all of time. Many and various are the attempts at interpretation, but the symbolism of its visions is mysterious for good reason. The secrets are not unlocked by scholarship alone, but are revealed to each disciple by the Holy Spirit, through work, prayer and obedience. The programme of future events in heaven and on earth is complex, but the very complexity is a safeguard against casual or partial interpretations. Jesus has a clearly defined strategy by which he is taking back dominion of the earth. Few suspect the malign influence that Satan and his angels constantly bring upon world affairs, but this detailed study reveals that alongside this there is a continuing interaction between God's angels and mankind down the generations. The spiritual battle that every Christian disciple is engaged in is laid bare for us so that we have insight into all that is going on in the world around us and its significance for our lives in eternity. **** BOOK II - The New Conqueror reveals the nature of the spiritual battle that all must undertake during the course of this life. It is a practical response to the revealing of Jesus' strategy for bringing his brothers to spiritual maturity so that they can take their appointed place in heaven with him. It examines the process by which we are changed to become like him. It warns of the apostasy that is overtaking the churches even today, and the persecution that God's people will have to face in the last days before Jesus returns. **** BOOK III - More Than a Conqueror deals with the little understood third stage of spiritual maturity. God has a "throne room strategy" because he is preparing men and women to reign with him in eternity. Salvation is not an event but a process and a way of living that ends only when we die. Many are deceived into relaxing their guard or even opting out of the spiritual battle before their time. This book explores the deeper life in the Spirit that is available to us once we have completed the first two stages of our discipleship journey. As we approach the end we discover that our Father has a special privilege waiting for us.
