Summary: Wonderfully easy to understand and a powerful learning tool!
Review: Anyone that has a basic knowledge of the Bible, yet doesn't seem to be able to understand all the little bits and pieces and how they tie in together should read this book. I have tried several times to read Revelation, but it always frightened me and I couldn't figure out what all the symbolisms meant. Unlocking the Mysteries of Revelation does just that, it provides "keys" to unlocking all the confusion of the book of Revelation that John wrote. It's very clear that these authors have spent many years of indepth study, and detailed research to be able to produce a study of this magnitude. Obviously, the Lord's hand guided them throughout, as this book could not have been produced without His divine intervention. The "keys" and "locks" of references and cross references make it very easy to keep tract of the various subjects that relate to each other. I had never known that there was any significance to the feasts that were mentioned so often in the Bible, but I now understand that everything that is written in the Bible has a definite purpose and meaning. This study is a "must" for anyone that really wants to understand what the second coming of Jesus is about. It is well written, using clear and concise terminology, and very easy to understand. There is a pure joy in reading this book and learning how to Unlock the Mysteries of Revelation.

Summary: Follow the Feasts to Understanding
Review: I have several books and commentaries related to Revelation in my home library. The authors of every one of them approach this book of the Bible with a specific rapture scenario in mind (i.e., pre-, mid-, or post-trib). Some commentators, unfortunately, will arrange, re-arrange, pre-arrange, twist and manipulate the various verses of Revelation to fit their basic rapture scenario. The authors of "Unlocking the Mysteries of Revelation" have put aside such scenarios and opinions and have allowed the Feasts of the Lord to direct their study of Scripture. As the Spring Feasts were completely and perfectly fulfilled by Jesus with His First Coming, it is logical to conclude that the same will occur with the Fall Feasts at Christ's Second Coming. It is this avenue that Unlocking the Mysteries of Revelation explores. The authors first provide background material on the tabernacle and the spring and fall feasts. In Chapter 3, a "Passover/Resurrection Chart" is presented that is accompanied by one of the clearest and best explanations dealing with the specific day of the week that Christ was crucified on that I have ever read. This is followed by two very informative and interesting chapters: Marriage & Adultery and Kingship. With the information that these chapters provide, it is the authors' intent to give their readers a basic understanding of the Feasts that will hopefully lead to greater insight into the book of Revelation -- insight that will "unlock" passages of Scripture that may have been a "mystery" before. The book is in large format that allows readers to jot down personal notes and information. In addition to this, there are "key" and "lock" symbols in the margins -- an interesting and unique feature that highlight important words or concepts. If you are looking for specific answers to problematic passages in Revelation from the authors, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. As stated in the Introduction, the goal of "Unlocking the Mysteries of Revelation" is not to provide quick answers to such questions, but to point the readers in the right direction by providing the necessary tools for further study. It is specifically this concept that makes this particular book stand out from all the others that focus on Revelation. So if you are looking for a new approach to your study of the last Book of the Bible, then "Unlocking the Mysteries of Revelation" is for you. -- Ronni, The BPR Reference Guide.

Summary: They brought the Old and New Testament into compatibility.
Review: The understanding of the feasts and how they affect the Jesus of the New Testament is surely a revelation sent by God to open the minds of the people of today. According to Col. 1:26, even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory. I believe the Lord has poured out his spirit upon these authors as was prophesied in Joel 2:28. Their words of understanding of the scriptures and the words of wisdom and their faith in the Lord is truly a gift from God. These authors have spent 20 years of searching for the truth of the feasts and what they have to do with the latter days. It is my opinion that they have brought the Old Testament and the New Testament into compatible assurance that God's word is neverending and shall not pass away.
