Reading the Book of Revelation

I have corrected my perception of the Book of Revelation. I can now, with confidence, express the foundational reasons behind why the Book of Revelation was written and its purpose. I must admit that I sometimes avoided the Book out of fear of not understanding why it was written and the myriad of images mentioned in it. While there is much more to learn about the Book of Revelation, this course laid a solid foundation on which to further develop my understanding of John’s intent in writing it.

What a master of instruction! Inspiring and educational.

Good course, helpful in reading and understanding the book of Revelation.

Interesting and helpful.

Great lectures!

Thank you for an exciting glimpse, synopsis of Revelation.

Revelation made simple.

Amazing. I have lost my fear for the book and feel comfortable continuing in depth study of Revelation

This course has provided excellent growth and reassurance for me, because I was affraid that I was the only one who was seeing that Revelation was not a coded message that was to be used to construct an end-times chart.

After years of studying, being taught lessons, dissecting verses, discussions, and every other tool available, THIS COURSE OPENED MY EYES AND MY MIND! I can truly say I UNDERSTAND THE BOOK OF REVELATION! I am thrilled. Even so, I do plan on following up by reading the commentaries the Dr. has suggested. THANK YOU, OBDU, for one of the best courses I’ve ever taken trying to figure out The Book of Revelation. I love your courses.  

Better understanding of the book Revelation not all end of time  

Learned about Revelation not just being about the end of time but God's new creation.  

An outstanding presentation which stimulates deeper understanding of the book of Revelation.

Just reading and listening is a joy to the Christian heart, and also guidance to the soul. As a bi-vocational pastor, I need the study for preparation of sermons, but I also need to listen to the presentation of the Gospel message by others, and also the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  

It was not as in depth as I thought it would be but it was thought provoking. Thank you.

Great work!

Very interesting article on Revelation, it has provided me with a different outlook of the Book.

Gives me the confidence to read the book of Revelation through a lens of the true purpose of the chapter. Enjoyed the instructor

Wonderful, uplifting course. Thank you so much

I am very happy to be able to understand and read Revelation with hope and positive insight instead of being terrified of the symbolism in the book.

This course totally changed my thoughts about Revelation. I look forward to rereading it with a good commentary and reviewing the notes I took to get a clearer understanding of what it really is about. Thank you so much. My desire to remember it also pushed me to take quizes again till I got 100% which helps to cement things in my memory.

GREAT

I thoroughly enjoyed this Course.

Great Course. I would highly recommend it.

This was a great course and gave me a new perspective on the Book of Revelation. I can hardly wait to study it more.

I learned so much throughout this course. Once started I looked forward to my study time with pleasure. The lecturer was skilled at presenting the information in an easily understood format with clarity and repetition, and in an engaging manner. I feel energized to tackle more by taking this course and have ordered a couple of the books suggested for further study and am more aware of hymns to complete worship. Knowledge and motivation are a powerful package-Thank you.

i learned a lot....

This gives a clear perspective on a book I have read the least of any in the Bible thinking it was primarily about future prophecy and unreadable to most. I can now reread Revelation with new understanding and perspective.

WONDERFUL!! Really helped in "knowing the purpose" of the book of Revelation.

I truly gain and got enriched by the course. May the Lord continue to bless and guide all the staff of Our Daily Bread Ministries as they continue in serving Christ through this platform, amen.

I' been a Christian for 74 years--boy have I missed a lot of understanding about Revelation and the rest of the Bible--spent a lot of time focusing on things that don't really matter (because I looked at much of Scripture from my viewpoint.) Revelation is not about worrying about details, it's about worshiping the Lamb. Excellent teacher and presentation

I have learned to look at Revelation in a completely different light.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and from the results of some of the assessment questions I may need to take it again, however I feel that some of the members of my church could benefit from taking this course.

Eye-opening, and refreshing perspective taught clearly.

I enjoyed this course immensely. I learned a lot and it has stimulated me to further in-depth study. Thank you!

This course provides a good overview of what Revelation is about and will encourage further study of it.

I am blessed and enriched by the contents of this course. Thank you.

I like the clear explanations about the purpose of the book and the description of the sections' purposes.

Great overview for a better perspective to all participants

A great course but should be Part 2 to complete the study of Revelations.

Very, very insightful!

Provided new perspectives on the book as a whole. It allowed me to expand my thought process and helped me focus on the main applications it was intended for.

An excellent course!

Very helpful! And it is so easy to understand! Thanks you to Dr. Mathewson.

It was a very good course, I liked it very much it made me think about things I didnt realize about Revelations before. I feel I will enjoy reading Revelations more now and in the future.

This course provided me with clarity and a better understanding about the Book of Revelation and why it was written. I can now continue to study Revelation with a strong foundation.

This was excellent in opening my eyes about Revelation. I'm going to re-read it with a new perspective.

I really enjoyed this course... wish the same lecturer had a in depth course on Revelation.

The course was very interesting and the professor was very astute and made the lectures easy to understand.

This course has been very informative. I now look at Revelation in a new light and with less dread. Lectures were clear and well spoken. Quizzes covered the subject matter very well.
