Where will you be when the covenant is confirmed?
What will the world look like when the events foretold in biblical prophecy begin to unfold?
For centuries, Christians have studied the book of Revelation, seeking to understand its mysterious symbols, prophetic visions, and extraordinary descriptions of the last days.
Yet Revelation is more than a book of judgment and prophecy. It is the revelation of Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of God's promises, and the glorious assurance of His ultimate victory.
In So The Image Could Speak: A Layperson's Look at the Book of Revelation, Susan Mouw takes readers on a journey through Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, exploring the people, events, and prophecies that reveal God's unfolding plan for mankind and His continuing covenant promises to Israel.
Originally developed from a twelve-week Bible study, this Scripture-centered examination is written for everyday Christians who want to understand Revelation without being overwhelmed by its imagery and symbolism.
Because the message of Revelation is not one of fear. It is one of hope - the glorious hope of the return of Jesus Christ.
A Glimpse Inside the Book
What might the world experience when a powerful leader promises to bring peace to a world devastated by conflict?
The following excerpt from page 6 of So The Image Could Speak imagines a scene surrounding the confirmation of the covenant foretold in Daniel 9:27.
"The crowd gathered around the raised platform, set up with a table and eight chairs along one side, as the whole world watched the events unfold. They had been anxiously awaiting this day since the first promises of peace. At first, the world didn't believe the one who made those promises and, in fact, mocked him; “Who is this man who can bring this peace? Who does he think he is when so many have tried and failed?” The world was in chaos with wars erupting all over. If there wasn’t a war, then the impact of those wars were felt in even the most remote locations, with people dying because they couldn’t find anything to eat. When this man first made those promises of peace, there was hardly one family world-wide that had not been impacted by the worldwide losses."

"The newscasters' excited voices proclaimed, "It is done!" and "Peace, at last!". The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, believing this would call a cease-fire for all the battles, destroy the secret weapons stashes, halt the nuclear armament building, and end the sacrifice of their youth sent into battle."
***
"The eruption of applause, cheering and hallelujahs filled the air in that room and in nearly every home where this was being watched. The newscasters even turned their backs to their cameras, so they could look upon this mighty man – this savior of the world.
"This day marked the beginning of a new era and he had promised it would be a time of peace and security. It wasn't long before the whole world realized he lied."
