Online Distributed Proofreading Team  a"The Revelation Explained" by F. G. Smith is a theological exposition written in the early 20th century. The book aims to interpret the complex prophecies found in the Book of Revelation, focusing on the historical context and spiritual significance of these visions from the time they were revealed until the end of time. It discusses key events, such as the rise of Christianity, the spread of Islam, and the ongoing struggles of the faithful until the final judgment.  The opening of the work establishes the authority of the text by emphasizing the richness of prophetic truth in Revelation and its relevance to contemporary readers. Smith outlines the significance of each symbol used in the prophetic language, arguing that the Bible employs a law of analogy in its symbolism, which can and should be interpreted consistently. He introduces the context of the visions granted to John on the Isle of Patmos, summarizing the major themes and issues addressed in the subsequent chapters, with a promise that the insights gleaned will enhance the understanding of God's revelations to humanity.
