Dr. Barry Lumsden, Professor of Higher Education, University of North Texas, writes in the forward to Reflections on the Revelation:
"To most 21st century post-moderns, the last book in our English Bible is a closed one. Closed to our understanding because of its mystique, its forebodings, and its mysterious and even frightening symbols--not to mention our overwhelming general biblical illiteracy. for centuries and even millennia, St. John's book about The Revelations of Jesus Christ has stricken fear in the hearts of its readers. For others, however, The Revelation is a great and wonderful source of encouragement. John assures us that, no matter how perilous the times, no matter how dark the days, God is on His throne and good will ultimately triumph over evil. At Calvary, the Son of God put to rout the enemy of our souls; the time is coming when he, the Evil One, will forever be put out of business. His days are numbered."

Reflections on the Revelation is as relevant and contemporary as you can get. "John, and we, have been assured that the time will come when the magnificent and victorious Lamb of God will return to forever silence the Domitians and Usama Ben Laden's of this world. One day the kingdoms of this world shall indeed become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ, " writes Dr. Lumsden.
