Synopsis

The Book of Revelation has been interpreted many different ways throughout history. Revelation: Fall of Judea, Rise of the Church focuses on three concepts from Scripture: John the Baptist announced who the Messiah is, those who try to destroy the Messiah's mission will themselves be destroyed (Judea ceased to exist as a nation from A.D. 135 until recent times), and Satan will be released after one thousand years to deceive the nations. Unlike many popular interpretations of Revelation that predict a future rapture and tribulation, the author proposes that many of the predictions happened during the early Church age as unbelievers tried to destroy Christ's Church. Satan, as predicted, was released to deceive the nations one thousand years after the Church was firmly established. As a result, the world today is filled with thousands of conflicting Christian sects and with non-Christian, occult, even anti-Christian movements that have propelled humans to as dangerous a rebellion against God as the one before the flood.
