Tape transcript 'The Symbolism of Revelation'.

The Symbolism of Revelation - this is a summary of the 12 tapes by Malcolm Smith below, written by a different author who wishes to be anonymous. But I commend his summary to you.

Transcripts of tapes on Revelation by Malcolm Smith

Back in 1985 I first listened to a set of tapes on Revelation by Malcolm Smith, these made Revelation understandable to me, and were the inspiration for my commentary and eventually this website. I always think that God speaks better to us by 'hearing' rather than just 'reading'. To hear the words of Malcolm Smith you can buy the tapes at his own website. They are suitable for group study. It is my pleasure to commend these transcripts to you.

 I tape 1   Rev 1  Introduction and method of interpretation
 I tape 2   Rev 1:10  The Son of Man
 I tape 3   Rev 4-5  The Throne Room
 I tape 4   Rev 6-7  The Seven Seals and the 144,000
 I tape 5   Rev 8-11  The Seven Trumpets and the Two Witnesses

More than Conquerors
If you are looking for a book on Revelation that gives
a similar viewpoint, then Malcolm and I would recommend
"More than Conquerors" by William Hendriksen.

Audio Sermons on Revelation by Arturo G Azurdia III highly recommended for private study, there are 81 of them.
