Title: To the Seven Churches
Description: To the Seven Churches: a Commentary on the Apocalypse of Jesus Christ has become my magnum opus, at least quantitatively. By the Lord's grace perhaps there is a qualitative truth to this description as well. This commentary is built upon two premises which come from Paul's theological affirmation which states, "But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth" (2 Tim. 3:15). He connected ecclesiology and bibliology as basic truths which undergird the doctrine of sanctification. Of course, Revelation gives the full gamut of theology for the Lord's New Testament assemblies. Therefore, the premises are the following: 1) That the Lord wrote the Apocalypse to the New Testament immersionist assemblies of Asia and by extension to all other New Testament assemblies; 2) That New Testament assembly members will recognize, receive, and keep the Lord's inspired and preserved words as reflected in the Textus Receptus. As far as this author knows, no other commentary has approached the book of Revelation from the ecclesiological perspective that it was written exclusively to New Testament church members and from the bibliological perspective that the true text is the Received Text behind the King James version. - Preface.
