Passover by Daniel C. Juster

Passover by Daniel C. Juster

Passover by Daniel C. Juster is an insightful book, subtitled The Key That Unlocks the Book of Revelation, which relates the events of the Exodus to Revelation.

Passover: The Key That Unlocks the Book of Revelation by Daniel C. Juster is a prophecy book which incorporates the obvious references to the Book of Exodus. I have read The Book of Revelation many times, and I have always thought that there were connections to the events of Exodus. From the two prophets in Revelation 11, to the different sets of judgments, to the clear reference to protection of God’s people during the judgments, I saw parallels to the Exodus event. Juster does a good job helping the reader make those connections.

Chapter One talks about the Heavenly war for redemptive. The book shows the parallels between the heavenly war over a baby in Revelation 12 and the same battle for a baby in Exodus. Chapter Two talks about the preparation of God’s people. Just as God’s people are prepared in Exodus for their delivery out of bondage, Revelation 1-4 shows how the people of God are prepared for the delivery out of the hands of the Antichrist. Chapter Three shows the parallels between the ten plagues in Egypt and the plagues found in Revelation. Chapter Four describes the persecution of God’s people under the Anti-Messiah, who is the Last Day’s Pharaoh. Chapter Five covers the theme of the Exodus Rapture. Chapter Six talks about the Wrath of the Lamb. Just as God delivered His people and punished the Egyptians, God will again deliver His people and punish the Anti-Messiah. Chapter Seven discusses the entry into the Promised Land. Just as the people of God enter Israel, the Promised Land, Revelation 20-22 describes how the people of God will enter the future eternal Promised Land.

Included in this book are a set of helpful appendices. In Appendix 1, Juster explains the significance of several numbers used in the book of Revelation. This comes in handy when one wishes to understand why certain numbers are used. I learned that there were seventy nations listed in the table of nations in Genesis 10. Appendix 1 is a useful guide when reading Revelation.

In Appendix 2, Juster uses the feasts established in Leviticus to explain the three judgments. The seal judgments relate to the events leading to the opening up the trumpet judgments. As each seal is opened, one comes closer to the beginning of the trumpet and bowl judgments. Once the seals are opened, then the festival calendar aligns with the judgments. The trumpet judgments correspond to the Feast of Trumpets and lasts seven years. The bowl judgments take place during the “Days of Awe” between Rosh Hosanna and Yom Kippur after the trumpet judgments are completed. The reasoning is that during the first coming of Jesus Christ, the events of His crucifixion corresponded exactly to the Passover and the Feast of Firstfruits. The beginning of the church happened on the Day of Pentecost.

Overall, I thought this book was well-written. For people who study prophecy, this book will enrich your efforts. I endorse having this book as part of your library. For people who have trouble understanding the Book of Revelation, this book will be a helpful guide. By comparing the events in Revelation to the events of the Exodus, one can see the key to interpreting the text. Passover by Daniel C. Juster will help you accomplish that task.
