MacArthur Bible Studies: Revelation
Overview
God is in control of all the events of human history, and trough evil often seems pervasive and wicked men all-powerful, their ultimate doom is certain. Christ will come in glory to judge and rule, and when He does, faithful Christians will be proclaimed as victorious. That is the message of this fascinating revelation from Jesus Himself.
