About the Book

A well‑illustrated and comprehensive commentary on the End Times, written for the mature Christian who wants to understand how the Book of Revelation relates to both the Olivet Discourse and the prophecies of the Book of Daniel.

Respectfully Written

An everyday commentary, carefully framed

This ‘everyday’ commentary respectfully outlines all four major schools of interpretation, as well as explaining the key futurist views of the Rapture — Pre‑Trib, Mid‑Trib, Post‑Trib and Pre‑Wrath — including their pros and cons.

In presenting the Last Day Last Trump (LDLT) view of the Resurrection/Rapture, the Author has skilfully integrated and aligned not only all key passages of Scripture, but also the prophetic fulfilment view of the last three Feasts of the Lord.

“A thoughtful layman's life‑long fascination with biblical prophecy.”

The Concise Commentary contains all the essential information and graphics of the larger commentary — with an improved layout, key‑point headings, and a more detailed index to aid the first‑time reader.

In Their Words

What readers are saying

"

This extraordinarily thorough inquiry into the message of the Book of Revelation shares the fruit of a thoughtful layman's life‑long fascination with biblical prophecy. The Book of Revelation speaks to us with power and relevance today, and I commend Nick Baker's study to readers who want to be able to understand the times in which we live.
