    About this ebook

    What better way to study the Book of Revelation than with a fresh translation. Both literal and poetic, this translation cross-checked every non-average word for consistency, poetry, rhyme, syllable, and yet ensure a literal, word-for-word translation at the same time, using "cliché-for-cliché via word-for-word" as the model.

    Contemporary English mixed with older prose makes this a timeless standard with a fresh and readable look at one of the most mysterious books in the Bible.

      About the Author

      Introduction

      Every translation has a different purpose. Experience shows that many English Bible translations emphasize a particular style of language and education level of English, coupled with an exposition on the meaning in Greek. This approach, historically, seems to presume that there is a limited number of ways to express a given idea at any particular certain level of English difficulty. Accordingly, much translation is done at the expense of focusing and intensifying the work of translation—to search out and consider the poetic possibilities that emerge when the Greek meaning arrives in English.

      English speakers of every education level use different styles of English, with a vast array of different expressions for different occasions. We speak with archaic prose, if we feel so inclined on the street. And a teacher or business leader will speak with proper English for an hour, then bust out vernacular with terrible grammar to make a point. Why can’t an English Bible translation include such diversity?

      There are many good English Bible translations, which serve different purposes, especially for the purpose of consulting many sources of knowledge when studying the Bible. Different translation methods serve different purposes. No one translation is best, but each translation may have its turn in being better, depending on the purpose, and so long as it is not misleading or faulty in its representation of the text.

      The translation style here uses a cliché-for-cliché via word-for-word approach, with an emphasis on word count, syllable count, and rhyme. Sometimes word order is maintained, other times it is changed, depending on the impact that the English translation has on the understanding of
