Sovereign Lion is a simplified, three-volume exposition on the Book of Revelation for pastors, teachers, students of Scripture, and homeschool parents. Included are nearly 100 'Backpack' principles for daily living, as well as scores of lists, key words, key themes, Christ typology examples, charts, tables, and over twenty appendices on relating Revelation to our modern world. Sovereign Lion is written from a pre-tribulational, pre-millennial, perspective.The key emphasis in these volumes in the glorification of Jesus Christ. A large portion of this is the examination of virtually every aspect of His Millennial reign, which is seen as literal, and earthly. Also included are hundreds of reflective questions, prompts, study suggestions, and coverage of dozens of Scriptural topics such as angels, Hell, demons, the Rapture, Heaven, redemption, Israel, eternity, and Old Testament of the Messiah.Sovereign Lion is practical and expositional. It is not a theological treatise, but an everyday handbook of every aspect of Revelation as it relates to Scripture, our world, and our individual responsibilities in light of Christ's imminent return. Pastors will find years of sermon material, and parents & teachers will find practical character-building illustrations for teaching.
