Revelation - Gulbrandsen, J E

. .

Résumé :
Revelation is possibly the most controversial book in the bible. Some famous theologians have even suggested to remove it from the bible cannon because it is so hard to understand. I will argue it is not that difficult to make sense of as long as we manage to place it on Gods timeline in history and understand Gods relation and reaction to an unrepentant Israel. If we allow the bible text to be our theology in stead of trying to fit the bible into our theology, it all comes together nicely. It is Jesus speaking in Revelation. It is not a book to be ignored but to be studied diligently. It helps us understand where we are in history on Gods timeline. The book in front of you is a commentary to the essential message, chapter and verses in the biblical book Revelation. You can not fully understand who Jesus is until you understand Revelation. Suddenly the overall message of the bible comes together. Exciting. This book is for bible readers that would like to be challenged and to understand the bigger picture of what God is trying to teach us through his word. If you on the other hand have a theology cemented in cherry-picked bible verses and religious denominational tradition, this book most likely is not for you.

Biographie:
Co-founder of a major corporation that is now listed on the Norwegian stock market, JanEgil Gulbrandsen has dedicated the last 10 years of his life to what the Bible really teaches. After spending 40 years listening to sermons from the pulpits of different evangelical denominations, Gulbrandsen has found many topics are taught incorrectly. The search for the biblical objective truth is a never-ending study. His hope is that by a systematic presentation of what the scriptures say, and using a Holy Spirit-inspired interpretation of its true meaning, we can get a little closer to what God intended for us in His word. Gulbrandsen's first book, Jesus Delayed, challenges the dispensational theology of a coming tribulation, Anti-Christ, and a Jesus who will soon return. The bible clearly teaches that these are events that took place (as Jesus himself prophesied: within a generation of his sacrifice) before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD . God always has something more prepared for us. Yet these blessings require Christians to have an open mind and a willingness to learn. God bless! Gulbrandsen's new book, Who Jesus is, shows the reader what the New Testament (from Matthew to Revelation) really teaches about our Master and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Unlike many ministers, this book does not focus on a cherry-picked version, but the scriptures as a whole. Jesus the man and Jesus the God must coexist. For some, this will be a familiar journey...
