Overcoming

How to Understand the Book of Revelation

By: Steve C. Singleton

Narrated by: Sonny Swinhart

Are you afraid to read the Book of Revelation? Do you assume you won't understand it? Overcoming will dispel your fears and give you insight into its meaning, freeing you to discover and experience its power to encourage and motivate you on your spiritual journey. I used to think like you do: "I don't understand the Apocalypse and I never have. I just don't get it, and I probably never will. So until I do, I'm not going to read it." That was before I learned a few common-sense principles that opened up this locked-shut book for me.

In Overcoming, you will discover:

• The most crucial background fundamental to realizing the meaning of the Apocalypse
• The identity of the three women in Revelation: two of them evil and one good
• The history and archaeology of the Seven Cities of Asia, including the city with the fourth largest metropolitan area of the Empire
• The story of the "City of Gold" and why it lost its former glory
• The solution and practical value to the 666 puzzle--it's not what most people think!
• The six categories of fulfillment for predictive prophecies, and how to sort them
• How to tell what to take literally and what to take figuratively.

After studying Revelation for many years, reading dozens of commentaries and detailed studies, and after teaching it to hundreds of people, all of whom wanted satisfying answers to their questions, I'm convinced that anyone can understand and benefit from the Apocalypse--even people new to the Bible, even children, even you. If you want to say, "Aha!" instead of "Huh?" when you read Revelation... If you want to tap into this valuable resource for personal transformation...

Wonderful exploration and unpacking of a complex book!

This is a great unpacking of the themes, historical context, and Old Testament echoes in Revelation. If you’ve spent any time looking at Revelation you know there are A LOT of books covering this topic (most of which, in my experience, are bananas). This is refreshingly grounded and sensible. It explores biblical literacy and offers real-world tools for unpacking and understanding any complex passage in scripture. It’s well-worth the credit! I found myself binge-listening and got through half the book before realizing it. Definitely worth a repeated listen as there is a lot here worth thinking on. I usually listen to books while commuting, so note-taking isn’t an option. I’m going to have to re-listen when I’m home so I can jot down some of these very insightful gems. ✨

Overcoming Conquers Confusion

Overcoming is a brilliant work! Author, Steve C. Singleton did the hard work so everyone can better understand the symbolism, culture, apocalyptic literature, history, hermeneutics, and all other barriers that make the last book of the Bible so misunderstood.
The introduction offers a sneak peak into the complexities involved. Once you get into the chapters you’ll find he expertly simplified the challenges that allow the message to be the blessing it was meant to be.
