A riveting scripture-charged exploration and interpretation of the Book of Revelation and study into the fast-approaching End-times – showing how the US, Russia, China and Europe fit into those events to lead into that prophesied global climax.

DESCRIPTION

Acknowledge it or not, we are hurtling towards the End-times. The pre-conditions have never been more complete than today. More so in the past 80 years than in the previous 19 centuries.

Cautious scepticism is healthy but we have a duty to understand the warnings about what’s happening around us and what’s coming, so we can prepare and warn others.

Many prefer to shy away from any attempt to interpret the Book of Revelation, viewing it as unfathomable and bizarre, full of symbolism, metaphors, repetition of earthquakes, fire and hail from the skies, plagues and battles.

Some interpret it is relevant to the first Century only (A.D. 70), when the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation was cruelly crushed. However, given it was written around the same time it would not have been much of a ‘revelation’. It would not have been read by Jewish people, who perceived Christianity as blasphemous. It would also not have been helpful to the early Christian church and the ‘book’ is clearly written to both the Christian church and to the Jewish people.

End-time scripture isn’t so unfathomable when viewed through the lens of the people of Biblical times – their beliefs, practices, experiences and stories; then superimposing understanding of things that are very familiar to us now but were alien to them.

Some important insights also help interpretation – such as the fact that during Old Testament times a year was perceived as 360 days (and this was also adopted as the default for ‘prophetic’ years in the New Testament). Also, Jewish people often referred to themselves as people of the land and the gentiles as people of the sea.

Many expect evil influences to present themselves in obvious ways no one can deny – but the best strategy of these is to convince us all that they do not exist! So, we should not expect to see them for who or what they are until very late on, when it might be too late for the uninformed.

The USA, China, Russia and Europe are all referenced, if you interpret properly, through ‘markers’ that include: global trading status, economic size relative to military might, historical basis of their trading and legal systems, population size, direction of their homeland relative to Israel, the nature of their current leaders, initiatives in international expansion, colour of their battle flags, symbols and statues that they are renowned for, geological characteristics, and, historical names of tribes from which these nations originated. The combination of many markers helps to make the interpretation less tenuous and more convincing.

There will be hard times ahead, even for Christians, but the Book of Revelation is fundamentally a message of HOPE – how to survive without compromising our eternal future, that evil will be dealt with once and for all, and that the world will be reshaped into the perfect paradise it was meant to be.

I invite you on an amazing exploration into the wealth of information that has been freely given to us on what is to come. I can boldly promise you a journey that will have huge consequences for you and your loved ones.

I have spent many years researching, grappling with and meditating on the scriptures – asking for divine inspiration to help interpret these prophecies. I hope and pray that this book is as accurate an interpretation as possible, and that it will spark the reader’s interest in interpreting what’s happening around them in the context of biblical revelation, so that they are forewarned of the dangers, can warn others, and can gain hope about the final outcome.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Louise Petrossian Mokhof who leads and supports many Christian charities including KORPU BUILDING BRIDGES WITH THE WORD, and speaks at Christian conferences around the globe. Louise acted as a key proof-reader:

“This book is a must read and thought provoking for those readers who are keen to know and have a deeper understanding about the End times, divine judgment, the Antichrist, Christ’s second coming and so on. The author’s narrative is direct and focused on global affairs in connection with Biblical facts from the past, present, and future. It is condensed with so much information to wet the reader’s appetite and keep them at the edge.”

Rebecca (Becky) Coulter, (avid ‘bookworm’ and daughter of a renowned newspaper journalist), and her husband Andrew Coulter, who acted as proof-readers, hungry to understand more about what the Bible tells us of the End-times:

“This book is a thorough and comprehensive guide to understanding The Book of Revelation. It is easy to understand – woven together in a way that helps the reader to follow with clarity and understanding. Foundational reading for anyone looking for sound biblical insight and understanding about this crucial book of the Bible.”
