A Revelation Story Revealed

Dr. T. R. Lawson

Description

Now, more than ever, it’s important for Christians to mature in their faith and become spiritually prepared to face the coming days. A Revelation Story Revealed is a thought-provoking book you don’t want to miss!
In his second book, “A Revelation Story Revealed”, Dr. T.R. Lawson reveals why he chose to write his first book, “A Revelation Story”, as he did. He takes the reader through each chapter of his previous book, explaining his thinking behind the writing choices he made and providing back up scriptures for them. While his first book was a fictional story, this book addresses much of the scripture which has to do with end-time events. Because the Book of Revelation is much like a jig saw puzzle with many pieces that must be properly fitted together, Dr. Lawson takes the reader on a line-by-line, chapter-by-chapter journey through it. “A Revelation Story Revealed” includes 28 Microstudies which are a treasure trove of scripturally backed studies that go into detail about various subjects including: “All About 666”; “Demotion Theory”; “The Great Tribulation”; “The Parable of 10 Virgins”; “Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream and Mystery Babylon”; “ The Doctrine of Balaam”; “Spiritual Switchism”; “Spiritual Maturity Theory”, and more. Dr. Lawson also includes his personal testimony, and the special sign God gave him which reveals a hidden trend throughout the Bible. Believing that as of December 6th, 2017, when the U.S. officially recognized Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel, the timeclock for the last generation has started, he feels called of God to be a specific voice to this last generation, as validated by his God-given sign. For any who don’t know the Lord, he invites you to come and know Him, and to personally experience His free gift of salvation. For those who do know the Lord, he encourages you to learn how to walk in spiritual maturity and overcome the evil one. This will be especially important in the coming days as we draw closer to the coming of the Lord and stand against the ever-increasing spiritual darkness that seeks to overtake the world.

Final Thoughts
PREFACE
In writing A Revelation Story , my purpose was to explain how the biblical book of Revelation could unfold in terms of real day-to-day life and what that might look like. This book, A Revelation Story Revealed , will be an attempt to explain some of the things I wrote in the original book, using simple terms and biblical scriptures. My hope is that this book will bring clarity to an often confusing and controversial book of the Bible and not further confuse the reader. I did take artistic liberty to give biblical characters backstories that are logical, and the reader should not take this license as truth. A Revelation Story is a make-believe story that contains many biblical truths. This book will address much of the scripture that has to do with end-time events, as well as other biblical truths. Hebrews 10:16 assures us that God will write his truth on our hearts and our minds, and we are encouraged by the great apostle Paul, in 2 Timothy 2:15, to study to show ourselves approved by God, rightly dividing the word of truth. Rightly dividing the scripture means knowing what is directed toward the physical Jews or spiritual Jews (the body of Christ, also known as the saints). As important as doctrine is, one’s faith should always be in God and not in one’s doctrine. It’s been my experience that fellow Christians can sometimes be the harshest of critics when it comes to biblical interpretation. I realize everyone has differing biblical opinions, traditions, and interpretations, and I respect that. But I also believe we should always keep an open heart and an open mind to the Holy Spirit, as he continually illuminates God’s Word to us and brings hidden things to light … maybe some things we haven’t seen, considered, or understood before. I sincerely hope you won’t stop reading this book the minute you disagree with something I’ve written. Please grant me some grace in the areas you vehemently disagree with. I feel called by the Lord to do this work, and I’m trying my best to be obedient to that call. It’s my earnest desire that God will use these words I’ve written to bring to light many truths. I pray the Lord will reveal many things to anyone who sincerely wants to learn more of God’s Word and God’s ways. Side note: All scriptures quoted in this book are taken from the New King James Version, unless otherwise noted.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to say a special thank-you to the following: First and foremost, God the Father; his Son, Jesus; and the Holy Spirit, who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life; my parents, Tommy and Carolyn, for my Christian upbringing; my sister, Cyndi, who helped me immensely in the editing of my two books; my pastor, Dr. Gary Kirksey, who was kind enough to give his feedback on the microstudies; C. R. Robertson for her illustration work on the book cover; C. S. and T. Bateman for helping me with some of the graphs and illustrations made in Photoshop; and last, but not least, my wife, Karen, who patiently tolerated the many hours I have devoted to this project. I appreciate her love and support. I would also like to acknowledge Mr. Clarence Larkin for his excellent body of work. I look forward to meeting him in heaven one day.
INTRODUCTION
This book is divided into three sections.
Section I contains the microstudies. These are scripturally backed studies that go into detail about various subjects. My hope is that once the reader masters a subject, he or she can see how it fits into the grand scheme of God’s plan and the part it plays in A Revelation Story . If you disagree with something I’ve written, don’t dwell on it; simply read on, as you may run across something else that really speaks to your heart.
Section II is a line-by-line, chapter-by-chapter look at most of the Book of Revelation (I stop right after the great white throne judgment.) I add commentary after most of the scriptures because the Book of Revelation is complicated, similar to a giant jigsaw puzzle, with many pieces that must be properly fitted together in order to see the complete picture. So it will take time and will be a process to get the most out of this book. It will be helpful if you read the microstudies first, as the concepts found in these studies will be referred to frequently in the other sections and may be confusing if you are not familiar with them. You may need to go back and forth between this section and the microstudies section to fully understand many of the embedded concepts. Please take your time a
