What if Revelation is a timeline—not of chaos, but of divine order? What if John wasn’t confused by what he saw, but understood it—deeply, intimately—because he had seen it all before in the Scriptures?
In Revelation: What John Knew, author and preacher Barbara Schobl-Legee explores the final book of the Bible through the lens of what John already knew from the Law, the Prophets, the Temple, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. This is not a modern decoding of symbols, nor a speculative roadmap of end-times headlines. It’s a deep dive into the spiritual, prophetic, and scriptural foundation John stood on when he received the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
By returning to the Hebrew roots of John’s understanding, this book uncovers the patterns, parallels, and prophetic echoes that make Revelation not a mystery—but a majestic fulfillment. From Daniel and Zechariah to Exodus and the Psalms, Barbara guides readers through a journey that illuminates the judgment, justice, and mercy of God woven into every seal, trumpet, and bowl.
Inside, readers will discover:
Why John’s Jewish background is essential to understanding the vision
How Revelation mirrors the structure and rituals of the Temple
What the heavenly court scene reveals about divine authority and timing
The significance of numbers, feast days, and scrolls within God’s prophetic calendar
How the imagery connects with both past warnings and future hope
This book doesn’t shy away from hard truths—but it also doesn’t veer into fear-based speculation. It’s grounded, reverent, and richly biblical. Revelation: What John Knew offers a fresh, faithful perspective for believers who want to understand the book that completes the Bible—not as something to dread, but as the ultimate declaration of God’s justice, mercy, and eternal plan.
If you’ve ever wondered what John saw—or more importantly, what he understood—this book will help you see it too.
