The rates of decline in church attendance and the ticking demographic timebomb show that business as usual will lead to extinction. But out of these ashes there are countless reasons to hope. Signs and stories emerging from worshipping communities the world over can give us renewed confidence that, as always, God is doing a ‘new-old’ thing. The Church that is emerging amid times of uncertainty is growing, alive and demonstrating the qualities of the early church recorded in the New Testament, one that is more diverse, more spirit-filled, more confident in the Gospel.

The Church as the Bride of Christ is one of the most profound revelations in Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, the imagery of marriage is used to illustrate the intimate relationship between God and His people. This theme reaches its fulfillment in the Church, which is called to be the spotless bride prepared for union with Christ. The ultimate purpose of the Church is to be joined to Him in perfect unity, sharing in His life, love, and glory for all eternity. The foundation of this truth is laid in Ephesians 5:25-27, which states, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved ...

These testimonies of the soul are simple as true, commonplace as simple, universal as commonplace, natural as universal, divine as natural. I don't think they can appear frivolous or feeble to any one, if he reflect on the majesty of nature, from which the soul derives its authority. If you acknowledge the authority of the mistress, you will own it also in the disciple. Well, nature is the mistress here, and her disciple is the soul. But everything the one has taught or the other learned, has come from God--the Teacher of the teacher.

I will in this volume, show that Revelation chapter 20 is to be understood by the plain reading of the text, and not to be taken as symbolic. That in fact, the terminology that is symbolic, is plainly shown to be so in the text, and that those symbols are clearly explained in the scripture itself. Chapter 20 is simply meant to be an overview, a history in advance, for the consolation of the saints, to which there would be no purpose to veil it in cryptic prose.
