Behold, He Cometh is an essay-style commentary on the much disputed book of Revelation. By careful exegesis, the author gives a solidly Reformed, amillennial interpretation of scripture. This book sets forth in clear, concise language the comforting truths concerning the end times.

What others are saying about this book:

"...lucid, simple style...In interpreting the symbolism, the author is refreshingly sane." —Peace & Truth magazine

"A refreshing feature...was that the author shows great insight into the Scriptures." —Australian Baptist

"...anyone who wishes to make a thorough study of Revelation owes it to himself to work through Hoeksema's Behold He Cometh." —Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly

"It is the kind of book I would like to see in every library and in every home. I heartily recommend it." —Westminster Theological Journal

"The treatment of the text is definitely Reformed in character in that it always ascribes all the glory to God and traces his way in history…I warmly recommend the book." - William Hendriksen (The Banner)

"With its republication, the text has not changed. It is the same book we have been using through the last thirty-three years. What makes it different – and more usable – is the addition of forty-four pages of indices: Scripture and subjects." - Jerome Julien (The Outlook)

"The book is not premillennial. Yet, premillennialists will do well to read it carefully and study it closely...this book will be an occasion for much thought and searching the Scriptures to see whether these things be so—whether they ultimately agree or not...The book ably defends the proposition that the saints must not look for the kingdom of Christ realized here upon earth, but must set their hopes upon a kingdom above. The dangers of post-millennialism are exposed, and it is shown that post-millennial views will inevitably leave the Church ill-prepared to face the persecution which must surely come before Christ comes again...The book is beautifully printed in a type-face easy to read...The book is a worthwhile addition to the libraries of covenant homes and of ministers and teachers. Yet it must never be and surely is not intended to be a mere addition to a library. It is, above all, meant to be read and studied. Whether one agrees or not with every part of it, with every interpretation of every passage, it is a book which will instill in one a love for Scripture. It will encourage the people of God to faithfulness in the midst of the world. It will inspire those who find here no abiding city but who seek that city which is above." - Herman Hanko (The Standard Bearer)
