Under these circumstances, a verse-by-verse teaching of Revelation would be a challenging endeavor. In the same way that we must read a novel cover to cover before understanding it properly, so must Bible students have an understanding of the Bible's first 65 books before they can truly understand its final book. Likewise, we could see Revelation as the final chapter in God's 66-chapter novel called the Bible. Naturally, only after reading the entire book would the final chapter make any sense. How much of that final chapter would you understand? Most likely, you would be thoroughly confused. Now consider what would happen if you selected a novel from the shelves of your local bookstore and decided to read only the final chapter. Obviously, the Bible doesn't read like most novels, but it was intended to be understood as a single work, and it did have a single Author. Like a novel, the storyline builds from front to back, with the characters, themes and plot elements introduced early and developed across many chapters. The Bible with its 66 books can be compared to a novel having 66 chapters. Why does the book confound so many and give rise to so many conflicting interpretations? The answer: because it's the final book of the Bible. Some avoid studying it, and among those who do try, many find it confusing. We see over and over that “this same Jesus” who was rejected, crucified, raised from the dead, and ascended into heaven, shall return “in power and with great glory” to reign as earth’s righteous and rightful king.Many Christians consider Revelation to be a mysterious and even frightening book of scripture.

Each section contains four pictorial studies, complete with commentary and scripture references. And the study of the Holy Angels in section two. The study of the Fallen Angels in section one. Eade breaks the types of angels into two main study sections. The purpose of this study of Angelology is to trace the origin, activity, and eternal destiny of angels in the Bible. Further aiding the reader to follow God’s plan throughout the Old and New Testaments. A Crimson ribbon is used to represent the Messianic Line in the illustrations.

Eade’s books in the Panorama Bible Study Course: The Plan of the Ages – Book Number 1 It is presented not as a dogmatic exposition, but with a prayer that it might be food for thought, and an inspiration to further study the completeness of God’s precious Word. This study aims to present an understandable, color visualization of the successive events, purposes, and characterizations that mark the consummation of the age. The Book of Revelation is the book of consummation, as Genesis is the book of commencements, thus bringing to completion of the divine library of the Holy Writ. The studies focus on the “The things which thou hast seen”, “The things which are”, and “The things which shall be hereafter”. The “Book of Revelation” is broken apart into three studies illustrated across 13 different panoramic pictures.
