Lost in Translation - The Book of Revelation Through Hebrew Eyes is a worthy follow-up to its predecessor, Rediscovering the Hebrew Roots of Our Faith. This is the second in a three-volume series that will cover the entire book of Revelation in awe-inspiring detail, expounding and expanding on familiar verses in God's Word that have been misunderstood and misconstrued for many years. Or, in some cases, linking together verses and concepts that have been repeatedly overlooked.
In this volume the authors explore the first half of Revelation from the perspective they established so clearly in Volume 1 - that of a Hebrew God speaking through a Hebrew believer to an audience that was intimately familiar with the Hebrew language, culture, customs, and concepts that form both the literal and the metaphorical foundation for vast portions of Revelation.
- Who are the 144,000 anyway? What will be their true function in the End Times?
- Who is the Bride of Messiah? Does that designation automatically include everyone who accepts salvation, no matter when or where?
- What does the book of Revelation really tell us about two vastly different and completely separate sequences of events that transpire at one and the same time, in entirely different places yet all as integral parts of the same vast panorama of end-times happenings? How do the wedding and the judgments fit together - if they even do?
These are just some of the questions to which you'll find plausible, sensible, biblically sound answers in this volume. Please join us, right now, for another voyage of discovery unlike anything you've embarked on before, even if you've already read Volume 1.

About the Authors
Collectively, John Klein and Adam Spears have studied the scriptures for more than sixty years. Together they have also taught countless hours of biblical courses on Hebrew foundations that bring alive the Holy Scriptures. There motto, "If you don't know covenant, you don't know Scripture," identifies one of the primary concepts that these two long-term scholars believe underlies the entire Bible, from the first verse in Genesis to the last verse of Revelation.
Both authors spend their time studying, writing, teaching, and counseling on full-time schedules. In addition, John is administrative rabbi for House of Covenant, a Messianic Hebrew congregation in Bend, Oregon, while Adam serves as head rabbi.
Michael Christopher is a writer/editor and a long-term veteran of the publishing industry. He has worked with dozens of authors, both famous and unknown, to produce religious and secular books of many different kinds. But he has never enjoyed any book project as much as this three-volume series, nor has he ever learned as much in the process.
