You can hear Tony in this book, anyone who has heard him preach will love this book. It is full of layers of insight and passion for Jesus. It does not travel down the roads of familiar revelation narratives but takes you off the beaten track into inspiration and application to everyday life. This is the revelation that the early church read, understood and was given hope by. Tony brings Revelation out of flakely theology and fear into hope and inspiration revealing the true Christ to us. A brilliant read!

I found the book by Tony Ling very easy and light reading on the Book of Revelation (the last book of the Bible) compared to more theological intellectual studies of the same. I have only read the first (of 2) volumes to date. i must voice my concern however at the way the author apparently alludes to Israel as the 'harlot' in the end time sequence of events leading up to the Lord's return to set up His Kingdom on earth. I find this potentially anti-Semitic and not in line with the over all teaching of God's Covenant purposes for the Jewish people which runs right through the Scriptures, beginning with Abraham, confirmed through Isaac, (the child of promise) and Jacob. God states repeatedly that this is an everlasting covenant. God has not rejected the Jewish people any more than He has rejected us. They too will be redeemed, as 'they look on Him whom they have pierced and mourn for Him as a mother mourns for her only son" If God says it who are we to doubt it? Indeed He says that 'all Israel will be saved!' We (as non Jews) must not forget that salvation is not by works but by grace, (the undeserved favour of God). In other words, apart from God's grace, a result of Jesus' death on the cross, where He took the punishment for our sins, not one of us can boast of being 'righteous' before God. In fact the Scriptures say, 'All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' Paul, the apostle says that "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile, (non Jew).' Who are we to say God has finished with them? We need to remember that Jesus, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah and (Passover) Lamb of God, when He returns, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, is returning to Jerusalem, the City that God in His Sovereignty has chosen to set His Name, in the Land that He calls His Land, (and warns both Jew and non - Jew not to divide up), to set up His Kingdom, an everlasting Kingdom on the earth, when those Jews and Gentiles who have accepted Him as Messiah and Saviour, together, will be united in Him for eternity as one flock under One Shepherd. We must not forget that the roots of Christianity are Jewish! The Bible even states that, 'Salvation is of the Jews!' We, as Christians have a lot to thank the Jewish people for, not least the Scriptures, written mostly by Jews and for Jesus Himself - Yeshua, the Holy One of Israel.
In all my years as a Christian I have heard countless "interpretations" on the book of revelation, most of which did not add up or fit with the rest of scripture. I took this book and the companion volume on holiday and poured over them with my Bible alongside. I could not put them down as for page after page I was blown away by the themes, connections and conclusions that the author comes to. He has taken a subject which for many people has been shrouded and mystery and fear, and demonstrated in sharp detail the plans of God for these last days. Not only that, but he returns the book of revelation to its intended focus - Jesus Christ.
I would wholeheartedly recommend both of these volumes to everyone who is searching for answers, and who is prepared to have previous misconceptions on the book of revelation literally blown out of the water.The Lion & the Lamb, Volume Two: More Reflections on the Book of Revelation: 2
