Description: Wonderful book! However, get Chilton's other book, "Paradise Restored", as a compliment to this book. It's a good primer, which explains some of his theology in a shorter form. Both books are outstanding. They're biblical and in context with all of scripture. It will definitely steer you away from the wild "theories" of Dispensationalism. If you like hearing what scripture has to say concerning doctrines as opposed to theory, in other words, letting God tell you the truth, I highly recommend both books. I started out as a dispensationalist, but after listening to their predictions and no one in the dispensationalist camp wondering out loud why these "ministers" aren't being held to account and being honest about it, instead of stony silence, I began to look at scripture in a fresh way to see where the USSR, the European union, etc., was to be found and lo and behold, they aren't. Read these books for an honest approach to the Bible, not fortune telling disquised as prophecy.

Review Summary: NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE |
Date: 2008-06-25 |
|
| |
Details: David Chilton died tragically in his mid 40's, but not before he accomplished what he came into this world to do. If you are tired of the sophomoric prophecy prognosticators such as Grant Jeffries, Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsay, and of course John Hagee and the dubious headline hermeneutics they practice; If you realize that most of the so called experts and commentators in this field have grossly fallen short; and if you are tired of not knowing what in the world the symbols of the book of Revelation mean, then your wait is over.
Days of Vengeance is the crowning literary achievement of eschatological exegesis. Nothing else even comes close to this groundbreaking work of the late Dr. David Chilton. Chilton lays out the pretext for the polemic which is this: The judgment contained in the book of Revelation is a "Covenant Lawsuit" against apostate Israel.
The key to understanding the book's highly symbolic language is found in the Scriptures themselves. It is the most biblical book in the Bible with more scriptural references to the Old Testament than any other book. Make no mistake, Revelation is the most encrypted book in the Bible and the reason so many have fallen short is the cavalier approach with which they exegete. However, Revelation need not be difficult as long you understand its purpose. It is not about Apache helicopters or nuclear war. It is about the vindication of Jesus Christ and the destruction of Jerusalem. To truly appreciate this work you need bring only an open mind and a love for truth. |

Review Summary: positively floored by this book |

Details: I was positively floored by this book. As a die-hard Scofield/Ryrie/Lindsey futurist, I never even heard of the eschatological beliefs presented in this book. I was just amazed at Chilton's skill in breaking down the book of Revelation and getting me to think just maybe I have been wrong--maybe. But I sure am doing some heavy thinking-and studying of God's Word. Chilton emphasizes some of the preterist-type viewpoints in his commentary, like that much of what I have always literally believed would happen in the "end times" is actually Old Testament Symbolism--and he makes some very outstanding arguments!! I was shook to the core after reading this book and have began researching other books along this line. I am "almost persuaded", but 33 years on the other side won't disappear overnight. Wow, but what a fascinating read regardless!! Recommended! |

Review Summary: A Biblical View of a often misunderstood Book |
Date: 2008-05-01 |

Details: It has always amused me how new Christians, when they start reading the Bible want to start at the end rather than the beginning. It is not really too surprising though when you read the flurry of "prophecy" books that have all kinds of fanciful idea and concepts that seem to interact with our modern day. Most modern readers of Revelation think that the book's meaning becomes more clear as the events written about draw nearer, but if that is your hermeneutic going in, you can really make the book fit any of the days modern headlines, with just a small amount of creativity.
Chilton takes a novel approach, he actually reads the Book of Revelation as though it were part of the Bible. He points out that the author of Revelation assumed a certain amount of Biblical familiarity. In "Days of Vengeance", Chilton does not wow us with Black Helicopters, and Nuclear Bombs, but with the ideas of covenant, worship, and fulfillment of Christ's mandate.
Admittedly, some of what Chilton talks about in this book will offend a lot of peoples religious sensitivities. If you have tried to read the Book of Revelation through the newspaper headlines than I challenge you to read this book. The problem with Revelation is not that it's author could not describe 21st century events, it is that we 21st century people don't understand 1st century events.
It is my opinion that this is the best commentary on the Book of Revelation, and when Dispensationalism is dead and gone, people will still be studying what Chilton had to say. |

Review Summary: Chilton's challenge to negative dispensationalism |

Details: Mr. Chilton has written a thorough, yet easily understood, critique of the Book of Revelation. Growing up as a believer in modern dispensationalism, I believed, unquestioningly, that the Anti-Christ, a rebuilt Temple, Mark of the Beast by computer chip/UPC code(to name a few misconceived notions)were all in the Book of Revelation. They are not. Mr. Chilton opened my eyes to the symbolism, types, and shadows dealing with eschatology, that are scattered throughout scripture which point to the culmination in the final book of the Bible. I have learned so much more about scripture in general that I never noticed before. What "lense" we view scripture through will cause us to see, or not see, certain truths. That is why James 3:1 has such a stern warning to teachers, because they affect how we view Biblical truth. Mr.Chilton's book is the best book I have ever read on eschatology. It's fascinating, easy to comprehend, and helps us as Christians to have a more proactive, positive, and powerful vision of our future in Christ, instead of the latest newspaper headline that fits into an ever changing eschatological view point which leads to pessimism, doubt about God's word, and a fatalism that leaves most Chrsitians impotent, and irrelavant. Buy this book, it will change your view of what Christianity is all about. |
