Translations By Louis Green
It is true that the signs used in Revelation have been a source of dispute and controversy for some readers. Yet the signs are necessary because John expresses his visions and dialogue within the heavenly realm, just as the Apostle Paul reported that he heard, but did not have permission to share. (2nd Cor. 12:4). John relates the mysteries unfolding before him, describing them using his understanding of the Old Testament.” Though it is filled with seeming mysteries, the Book of Revelation is decipherable for any having an understanding of the first 65 books of the Bible, and especially pertaining to the first 39 books of the Bible. The Book of Revelation is a recounting of the Old Testament Prophets and their visions. It contains more than five hundred allusions to the Old Testament, and 278 of the 404 verses in Revelation, or approximately 70% that either reference or quote the Old Testament.

Romans is described as being the Grace Epistle. Unfortunately, many have turned grace into a doctrine that resembles Universalism. (Everyone and everything eventually is redeemed by Grace. However, we are using the word "Favor," replacing the Grace word, in hope of allowing the reader to decipher the true message of Romans without the distraction of a misinterpreted word called Grace!

You will be challenged to discover that Paul is engaging in a question and answer discourse with the Corinthians predicated on the previous letter that He had sent to them. The Corinthians are seeking clarification as touching many of their long standing traditions.

It's time to hear from the Pastor of the Jerusalem Church. It's hard to comprehend that there was a day when this brother of Jesus either did not believe in Jesus or at best grossly misunderstood the mission of Jesus. This radically enforces the fact that the Holy spirit is the teacher and once filled with the Spirit, great wisdom and knowledge is available to the recipient!

It's amazing that an apostle who was several times denounced as ignorant and unlearned, could and would use over 30 Greek words not found in any other New Testament epistle. Is it possible that divine revelation far exceeds formal education! Imagine a toughened fisherman using such language as "Precious Blood," when referring to the sacrifice of Jesus. 

Jude may be one of the shorter epistles, but believe me it is long in revelation.  from Angels to Demons, from Heaven to Hell. One amazing discourse!
