This work focuses on interpreting the Book of Revelation, aiming to demystify its complex symbols and prophetic messages for a Christian audience. The commentary is particularly relevant for those interested in biblical prophecy, exploring meanings and interpretations that have often led to confusion and various contradictory views among readers. The opening of the commentary sets the stage by addressing the perceived challenges surrounding the Book of Revelation, which many regard as a "sealed book" fraught with enigmatic symbols. The author expresses a belief that the Apocalypse can be understood and provides a rationale for approaching its study, referencing other scholars and their works on the subject. Bliss emphasizes the importance of scriptural interpretation by comparing scripture to scripture, introducing fundamental principles of prophetic interpretation, and providing a clear structure for the commentary that follows. This early section outlines the author's intention to make the Apocalypse accessible and relevant for those eager to grasp its teachings.
