"God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom dwelleth wisdom and knowledge, flood Thou our souls with understanding from above! Open now our eyes that we may behold the depths of truth that can be known only by the quickening of Thy Spirit! Remove the dark veil from our hearts, the veil of natural understanding and religious tradition cast over our minds by the carnal church systems of men, that light divine may shine upon us! Grant to our spirits the breath of inspiration that we may know as Thou knowest, and see as Thou seest! Amen! The book of Revelation was not sent to Israel nor to the nations. It was sent to the church, the called out elect of God. The only "end" referred to in this book is JESUS! "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Rev. 22:13). The Revelation is not about "the end times;" it is about a NEW DAY, it is the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST!"

Is this study anyway connected to the Jehovah Witnesses?
Anointing or Apostasy - The Latter Rain Legacy by Charles S. Graves
This is an article on the Latter Rain movement / Manifest Sons of God which is the origin of Eby's theology.
+1 from me, good article.
One sect putting down another sect.
It's amazing the amount of work people have done.
Reading Preston Eby won't harm any saint. His work on Revelation is exhaustive and true to the idealist/spiritual interpretation of Revelation. His handling of Latter Rain/manifest sons of God heresy is mature and from experience. He stays true to scripture.
I think the church needs the spiritual interpretation of Revelation, I know I did. I rejected the rapture and end time theology associated with Revelation since the 1980s, mainly because of the flesh and blood, brick and mortar interpretations didn't line up with the Jesus Christ I knew, the spirit of truth wouldn't allow me to embrace that stuff.
No, Google Preston Eby,

It's the best study I've found on the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
It took my over a year to read the whole thing. Decades of work on Revelation.
Thank you. I’ve also studied Last Days.
You're welcome, we're in a different last days than the end of the Old Testament. We are a new testament Church in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ in us. I don't know much about last days..................I'm learning :)
This is funny, because my Womens Bible Study is studying the book of revelation right now. I didn’t need to read anybody else’s commentary on it, I’ve only allowed God, and the women that are studying the word with me to learn more about what the book of revelation is referring to.
Sounds great, where are you in your study?
We just finished chapter 8 last week and we’re moving into chapter 9. We were just studying the trumpets. I think the leader of our group refers to chapter 9 as welcome to the world of demons. Thursday is our regular meeting day, I’ll get back to you and tell you what we learned. God bless you and have a great night.
