The Revelation of John (2 volumes)

Older edition of this wonderful continual best-selling Bible Commentary series. Discusses the first five chapters of The Revelation, including the famous letters to the seven churches and the vision of the throne and the Lamb. According to the author, John was "soaked and saturated" in the Old Testament so that most of the imagery he employs is drawn from that source. Thus, a risen Christ has hair white as wool, whose eyes flash fire and from whose mouth issues a two-edged sword.
