Practica Prophetica

In this 13th Lecture, the rich symbolism of the glorious heavenly vision of Revelation 5 is beautifully unfolded.

This book explains the following symbols, which God intends for us to study and grasp:

• The Seven-Sealed Book;
• The Titles of the Lamb: and what actions Christ had to perform to receive those Titles;
• The Identity, Song, and Actions of the Four Living Creatures and the Elders;
• The different elements in the Song of the Angels.

In the light of eternity, the news and happenings in this world, which occupy so much of men’s time and thoughts, are practically insignificant, compared to the importance of this heavenly vision. 122p
