By making use of a grammatical-historical form of exegesis, Dan Lioy conducts a thoroughgoing textual analysis of Revelation with special attention given to the connection between its Christocentric themes and its doctrinal rationale.

God has imposed limitations on the human race that undermine human efforts to look beyond the present-especially to understand the past or probe into the future. Expressed differently, because people are creatures of time, their heavenly imposed finitude subverts their ability...
