The History of Revelation, and the Revelation of History. We just kicked off an exciting new series, unpacking the long tried and true Historicist view of the Book of Revelation. The Historicist view follows a straight line of continuous fulfillment of prophecy which starts in Daniel’s time and goes through John of Patmos’ writing of the Book of Revelation all the way to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. At the time, this was the dominant view held by the reformers – only to be later eclipsed by a the pope’s Jesuits interpretation that crept into Protestant seminaries, and was later popularised by movies like Left Behind. Join us as we lay the ground work to understanding The book of Revelation.

This week we cover Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy and how the Septuagint version of Daniel’s book shows a clear message that it is Messiah that creates a covenant with many and NOT anti-christ. This is a huge foundational point that can change one’s view of “end times” drastically.

As we go through the Book of Revelation and how it affects us today in our political setting, we start our with the letters written to the 7 churches. These 7 churches appear to also represent 7 periods of church history having us today in the very last church age of Laodicea.

The opening of the Seals! We discuss the fall of pagan Rome, the Christian martyrs and the rise of Constantine ALL Found in chapter 6 of Revelation.

In the first 6 seals of Revelation, pagan Rome fell! Next up: the 7th seal of 7 trumpets.
The first 4 trumpets specifically deals with the fall of the Western Roman Empire under the barbarian invasions.

One of the reasons there is so much mystery and even confusion in the church around the book of Revelation, is the “loss” of the original intended word of God, by diluting interpretations. This was and is by design, beginning as far back as 1517,  by those whose goal was to stop the Protestant reformation and bring us back into the dark ages. Revelations 10 unpacks this history, and the printing of our bible!

Part 9 – The Sun Clothed Woman: In this episode we continue unpacking the book of revelation from the historicist perspective – the perspective upheld by the Reformers for over a millennium, but now long since forgotten. The historicist view unpacks Revelation from 96AD to present day. From the four horsemen, which marked the decay of Rome, through the Trumpets (The Barbarian and Islamic period). Chapter 11 unpacks the Reformation. And today we discuss Revelation 12, the woman clothed in the sun: historically, Israels migration to America.

Part 10 – The Beasts of the Sea and Land: We continue unpacking the book of revelation from the historicist perspective – from 96AD to present day. In this episode we unpack Chapter 13 and the role of the Vatican – the beast rising up out of the sea (the Roman Empire) and the beast rising out of the land (Papal Rome).

Part 12 – Today we deep dive into Chapter 16 of the book of Revelation, beginning with the final 7 bowl judgements. According to the historicist perspective, Chapter 16 specifically unpacks the period of the French Revolution. This interpretation is the longest held interpretation of Revelation which include the reformers and colonial pastors down to this day.

Part 13 – We discuss the very last bowl judgements (4-7) starting with Napoleon Bonaparte’s capture of the pope, the fall of the Ottoman Empire at WW1 and the introduction of areal warfare all leading up to the great and final war.

Part 14 –  Let’s talk about the mystery of the scarlet clothed woman.

Part 15 –  The Fall Of Babylon
We are finally there! The end game. Revelation 18 – the political and economic system of Babylon falls once and for all. Amen!

Part 16 – The Final Battle and The Millenium Reign
Then I saw a Great White Throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled… and the books were opened…

Part 17 – The New Heaven and The New Earth
We discuss the last 2 chapters of the Book of Revelation as we see the new heaven and new earth with the new Jerusalem. Is it a completely new creation or is it a new order of things that are already here around us?

Part 18 – Let’s Wrap It Up!
After finishing the series on the Book to Revelation, we discuss the entire book from beginning to end with the Historicist view point. You won’t want to miss this heavily packed episode!
