The Divorce of Israel presents a “redemptive-historical” approach to Revelation. In it John presents a forensic drama wherein God is divorcing his old covenant wife Israel so that he can take a new wife, the new covenant “Israel of God” composed of Jew and Gentile alike.
Thus, Revelation presents the vitally important redemptive-historical transition from the land-based, ethnically focused, temple-dominated old covenant economy to its worldwide, pan-ethnic, spiritual new covenant fulfillment. And it does so by highlighting God’s judgment upon first-century geo-political Israel.
BTW, if you manage to work your way through both Chilton's and Gentry's commentaries on Revelation, I would love to hear a comparison of the two from you. Whew... that would be a total of about 2,500 pages!
Well color me surprised! I just ran across a new work on Revelation by James Jordan on Amazon. I had previously attempted to locate a taped lecture series he did on Revelation a number of years ago and now he has reduced it to a three volume "interpretation". IMO, Jordan is a brilliant theologian who has published numerous works on the Word. I would read him before I read anyone else. I began following him when he was one of the young pastors at a small church in Tyler TX. He is a rare genius. I am anxiously awaiting the shipment of his three-volume work.
There are a few other books dealing with this subject I found very helpful. “Matthew 24 Fulfilled” by Evangelist John L. Bray. “Great Prophecies of the Bible” by Ralph Edward Woodrow.
I would be happy to email a PDF of my new book “Israel, Rapture, Tribulation: How to Sort Biblical Fact from Theological Fiction.” I think you will find the section “In Like Manner” dealing with the parousia of Christ very interesting. As well as each topic discussed (Daniel’s Seventy Weeks, Modern-day Israel, the Olivet Discourse, the resurrection, dispensationalism, dating setting, etc.)
Have you seen Gentry's new commentary on Revelation? Two volumes and 1873 pages.

I wasn’t abreast of Mr. Gentry’s latest work, thanks for the recommendation!

Great work, Scipio. Keep 'em coming!
The 3rd hour today feels almost Inquisitional, brother ! 🤣❤🔥
Haha thank you for listening Dora, God bless!
❤ You made my weekend.
I am so happy for you.
Best 3 hours of info I've heard this year.
You stay faithful, brother, and it will all be manageable.
Persecución es inevitable pero lo cuenta del Padre Celestial como amor !
🔥💯✌
The program you're on at this moment, the start of the 3rd hour, the new guest host said "the Book of Revelation was written in 90s AD..."
This is a teachable moment, the Book was written by John in the 60s AD.
And... you just addressed it. Ahaha. You're AAA+, brother ! 🤗
"Messianic 'Jew'" is absolutely NOT Scriptural.
These are 3 great hours of radio !
Based on my own experiences, my "Messianic 'Jew'" friends lose interest in the conversation when 'JUDEO-christian' is debunked...
