The book of Revelation was meant to be understood. Why would the Holy Spirit inspire the writing of a book of the Bible with the intention of creating confusion in the mind of the reader? With those ideas in mind Tony Kessinger has explored the depths of the book that commentators throughout church history have labeled as fraught with symbolism and loaded with mystery.

From the trustworthiness of Jesus to the veracity of John’s prophecy, Things That Must Take Place unashamedly articulates 15 reasons from the text why Revelation should be interpreted literally. Rather than rely primarily on how other commentators interpret Revelation, Kessinger uses Scripture to interpret Scripture. Kessinger supports his thesis utilizing extensive quotes from the Old Testament.

The title, Things That Must Take Place, comes directly from Revelation 1:1; 4:1; and 22:6 as well as Revelation 1:19 and Matthew 24:6. If the events described in Revelation do not take place, John is a false prophet and the book is a sham.

Things That Must Take Place, A Commentary on Revelation 4-22 is the second volume of Kessinger’s work on Revelation. The first volume, Come Out of Her My People: The Encouragement and Exhortation of Revelation Chapters 1-3, was released in 2003. The two volumes together are more than 500 pages of verse by verse exegesis of this most fascinating book of the New Testament.

Thoroughly researched, concise and comprehensive, Things That Must Take Place is a thought-provoking, eye-opening read. Discover more in the pages of this revelatory new book.
