As a history book, the Bible is unique, telling us about the future as well as the past.
To become obsessed with either is to evade life's challenges.
Both perspectives are needed to live over the circumstances of the present.
The book of Revelation focuses on the future and can produce two reactions among Christians - some cannot get into it and others cannot get out of it We need a more balanced view of its significance.
After all, it is the only book in the whole Bible to which God has attached a special blessing and an awful curse.
It was written for ordinary people under extraordinary pressure.
Suffering is the key to its understanding.
It is a manual for martyrdom.
As history draws to a close, all Christians need its message of warning and encouragement.
About the Author: David Pawson occupies a key position among British Christian writers.
His best known work, Unlocking the Bible, continues to be a worldwide bestseller in print, audio and video formats.
Unlocking the Bible and other works such as The Normal Christian Birth have been called Pawson s legacy to the church.
Pawson is known for accepting biblical text as the authoritative word of God while explaining its meaning and context in a practical and understandable language.
Because he follows the teaching of Scripture where it clashes with church tradition, his books are often controversial.
Today David speaks around the world and is received on God TV by millions of viewers in almost every country.
Born in 1930, David, determined to become a farmer, began his career with a B.
in agriculture at Durham University in England.
He was surprised when God intervened and led him to become a Christian minister.
Studying for an advanced degree in theology at Cambridge University, under the influence of liberal educators, Pawson lost his trust in the Bible and very nearly his faith in God.
After a short spell in ministry for the Methodist church, he regained his trust in the infallibility and inerrancy of the Bib.
