ABOUT THE AUTHOR As a young man, twenty-one years of age, I was gloriously converted to the Lord Jesus Christ in a crusade of Oral Roberts in Providence, Rhode Island in 1965. Shortly after my conversion, I was baptized in the Holy Ghost, which left me with a burning desire to give my all to Christ.

As I began to study God’s word, I felt compelled to focus my study on prophecy.

I am honored to say after many decades as an ordained minister I have had the opportunity of working in mission states throughout New England and assisting and establishing churches. After fifty years of dedicated service and research in the Bible on the book Revelation, I have felt inspired to share with others what has been revealed to me through many years of study. In conclusion, it is my prayer, should the Lord tarry His coming, that whoever reads this book shall be blessed by the contents therein.

Therefore, this is my legacy, as I look forward to going home to be with my Lord and Savior.

THE REVELATION : THE PATMOS VISION UNVEILED To reach a proper understanding of the book Revelations one must first understand the language of this book. Throughout the book of Revelations, one must distinguish the difference of what is to be taken literal or what is to be taken figuratively, as there are many types, shadows, metaphors, parenthetical scriptures, and also the law of double references at times must be understood. The safest scriptural rule of interpretation of scripture is allowing the Bible to be its own interpreter, comparing scripture with scripture.

The book Revelation is in chronological order, yet with many parenthetical verses and chapters. It is important that we be not dogmatic in our interpretation of this prophecy. Job 27:19 states “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” Psalms 42:7 “Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of the waterspouts all the waves and thy billows are gone over me.” “Revelations The Patmos Vision Unveiled” has been written to reveal a deeper understanding of this prophecy.

A DIFFERENT PERSPEC TIVE ON THE WORD “FIRST ” This book is a study on the word (First) throughout the book of Genesis. This I believe will help bring the reader to a much greater understanding of the entirety of God’s word as I record every word written for the first time, as well as everything that happens for the first time and the purpose of it all. (What, When, Where) May the reader be blessed with a greater understanding o God’s ord as he or she turns the pages of this book. Be blessed!
