# The Revelation of Christ > The Revelation of Christ (therevelationofchrist.org) is an independent, non-denominational Christian website publishing verse-by-verse commentary on all 22 chapters of the Book of Revelation, along with related prophetic scripture studies, classic sermons, and Bible reference material. The site is privately built, funded, and maintained in the United States, is not affiliated with any denomination or commercial organization, and carries no ads, donations, affiliate links, subscriptions, or registration requirements. All content is free to read. The site's core work is the full text of "The Complete Book of Revelation" by Pastor Orin E. Bogart (first published 1982), which interprets Revelation through biblical types, shadows, and symbols. The commentary reads Revelation as literal, future prophecy and applies a Scripture-interprets-Scripture method, cross-referencing Ezekiel, Daniel, the Gospels, and the Epistles. Readers should note this represents one interpretive tradition among several within Christianity; the site does not present competing millennial or preterist readings.
