You are about to embark on a journey. It is not just any journey but you are going to be taking an exciting ride with a confirmed motorcycle riding aficionado and the fearless scholar and leader of The Bible Thumpers Motorcycle club. The theme of Revelation has echoed throughout his work, time and time again. Now, his thoughts have all come together and ideas have erupted in the form of his book that you now hold in your hands. On this ride that you are about to take, Gary Guiles will take you into some amazing new territory. Let me ask you; Have you done much meditating on the "angel of death?" Did you realize that the true name of that angel appears in the Book of Revelation? That kind of careful and thorough exploration is exactly what I would expect from Gary. He is clearly one of God's chosen people. In his book, he reflects on the nature and identity of God's Chosen Ones, as well . The topic concerning the mystical people who number 144,000 are another topic that he will develop and take us to a whole new level of understanding. Your ride through Revelation will take you to many places that you have not traveled before. So, "Saddle up!" And let's move out. We are about to get started on our journey through the book of Revelation, of which the Lord declares, "blessed id he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy (Revelation), and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near" (Revelation 1:3.) As you read this commentary, I know that you will be blessed and Gary's hard work will fill your heart with joy.
