Your journey through Revelation begins here
Welcome, bold explorer. You've just stepped into the most revolutionary study of Revelation you'll ever encounter. This isn't your grandfather's Sunday school lesson on end times prophecy. What awaits you will likely challenge everything you've been taught about the final book of the Bible.
For over 100 years, 20th century Bible readers have approached John's Revelation as a mysterious glimpse into the distant future— nuclear war, one-world government, microchip implants. But what if that relatively new prophetic framework has led us astray? What if Revelation was written as a first-century document about first-century events, using rich biblical symbolism that early Christians understood perfectly?
This study will introduce you to the preterist interpretation of Revelation— the view that most of John's prophecy was fulfilled in A.D. 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem. You'll discover that Revelation is not a roadmap to the end of the world, but a celebration of Christ's victory and the Church's calling to transform the earth.
"The Book of Revelation is not about the Second Coming of Christ. It is about the destruction of Israel and Christ's victory over His enemies in the establishment of the New Covenant Temple."
If you're thinking "That's impossible!" or "I've never heard that before!"—perfect. That means you're exactly where you need to be. The greatest discoveries happen when we're willing to question our assumptions and follow the evidence wherever it leads.
This journey requires intellectual courage. You'll need to temporarily set aside familiar interpretations and approach Revelation with fresh eyes. Some of what you discover may initially feel uncomfortable—that's the sensation of growth, of paradigms shifting, of truth breaking through.
Instead of a defeated church waiting to be rescued, you'll discover a victorious church called to advance Christ's kingdom on earth. Instead of a world growing darker, you'll see God's plan for the progressive triumph of the Gospel. Instead of fear about the future, you'll find hope that transforms everything.
Over the next 22 chapters, we'll walk through John's apocalypse verse by verse, uncovering the rich biblical symbolism, exploring the historical context, and discovering the practical implications for believers today.
You'll learn to read Revelation not as a frightening puzzle about the end times, but as a glorious revelation of Christ's present reign and the Church's ultimate destiny to fill the earth with God's glory.
The question is: Are you willing to have your eschatological worldview challenged? Are you ready to discover what Revelation really says about victory, hope, and the future? Are you prepared to see Jesus Christ as the triumphant King He claimed to be?
If your answer is yes, then let the adventure begin...
