David Chilton has done it. He has finally done it. He has written a book on Revelation that is sure to spark an eschatological revolution.
When Paradise Restored, he embalmed the old corpse of "pessimillenialism." But now, with The Days of Vengeance, he has nailed shut the sarcophagus, sealed the crypt, and make off into the night rehearsing profound eulogies.
But, not only does he return the zombies of end-times doomsaying to dust from whence they came, Chilton has resurrected with cogency, clarity, and admirable consistency an genuinely Biblical "optimillenialism."
The Days of Vengeance is an extraordinary exposition of the book of Revelation and will undoubtedly be welcomed as a cool drenching rain upon a dry, thirsty ground. Long parched and impoverished by speculative spectacularization, the evangelical scholastic wilderness can do naught but soak in Chilton's careful and literate commentary.
The Days of Vengeance is phenomenal. It is big (nearly 750 pages big, going where no commentary has dared to go before). It is brash (marshalling mountains of long forgotten evidence to the cause). It is a brazen bravura, a delight, a tour de force.
If you have a "must read list," put his book at the top of that list. If you don't have such a list, start one. And start here, with The Days of Vengeance.

The Days of Vengeance: An Exposition of the Book of Revelation
David Chilton has done it. He has finally done it. He has written a book on Revelation that is sure to spark an eschatological revolution.
When Paradise Restored, he embalmed the old corpse of "pessimillenialism." But now, with The Days of Vengeance, he has nailed shut the sarcophagus, sealed the crypt, and make off into the night rehearsing profound eulogies.
But, not only does he return the zombies of end-times doomsaying to dust from whence they came, Chilton has resurrected with cogency, clarity, and admirable consistency an genuinely Biblical "optimillenialism."
The Days of Vengeance is an extraordinary exposition of the book of Revelation and will undoubtedly be welcomed as a cool drenching rain upon a dry, thirsty ground.
