The information in the tables is interesting but difficult to verify authenticity. The presentation makes it difficult to use the information without resorting to making graphic charts from the tables. Because the tables are so difficult to verify, referencing them as a source is not practical. The "charts" (tables) are useful in research but not very useful as an end product. Some tables need some explanation to minimize the time invested in study and verification. Most people will find the presentation disappointing.

A sensational book for serious study of the Revelation.All of the connections to Old Testament and other Jewish apocalyptic literature is clearly spelled out,as is the many fascinating aspects of the structure of the book.This does all of your "Revelation homework" for you.
