We're all interested in what the future holds. What can we expect? Is there a way to know what lies ahead? Where should we look for answers? How will future events affect our families and loved ones?

Human efforts at predicting the future are notoriously inaccurate. Self-proclaimed seers and prophets have been proven wrong time and time again. But there is a sure way to know what the future holds. It's written in advance in the pages of the Bible.

The book of Revelation, the last book in the Bible, is to many people the most confusing. They find Revelation's strange symbols and images puzzling and mysterious. But it need not be so. The book's very name means a revealing, a way to gain understanding. Its first verse tells us it was written to reveal "things which must shortly take place."

We've prepared an exciting, eye-opening booklet—The Book of Revelation Unveiled—to help you understand what is going to take place in the days ahead. This 32-page, fullcolor booklet will take you through the major themes of the book of Revelation, helping you discover how it all fits together. In this booklet you'll learn tomorrow's headlines today, discovering the major trends and events that will shape the world in the days ahead. You can't afford to be without this priceless knowledge.
