The title is misleading in that there really is no effort to "break a code". The biggest problem I had with the book is that it failed to include critical references to other relevant scriptures. My position is that the book of Revelation really answers a number of questions that are raised earlier in the New Testament. I would be happy to provide examples if other members are interested. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This book is broad but not deep; do not look to this book to provide in-depth explanations but instead a general overview of the main themes of the images of Revelation. For its purposes an excellent book to consider when studying Revelation. ( )
