About this listen

Discover the bizarre world of the Bible's strangest book—complete with multi-eyed creatures, demonic horsemen, and the mysterious number 666. The Book of Revelation has puzzled and terrified readers for nearly two thousand years, but what does it actually say, and why was it written?

Unlock the Mysteries of Christianity's Most Enigmatic Text

The Book of Revelation stands as the Bible's most controversial and misunderstood book. Filled with apocalyptic visions, symbolic beasts, and cosmic battles between good and evil, it has inspired countless interpretations, failed predictions, and wild conspiracy theories throughout history.

What You'll Discover:

  • The True Historical Context - Learn who really wrote Revelation and why, including its connection to Roman persecution of early Christians
  • Decode the Symbolism - Understand what the Four Horsemen, the Number 666, and multi-eyed "Bible-accurate" angels actually represent
  • The Complete Apocalyptic Timeline - Follow the dramatic sequence from the Seven Seals through the Seven Trumpets to the final Seven Bowls of divine wrath
  • Historical Perspective - Explore how this ancient text has been interpreted throughout history and why apocalyptic predictions consistently fail
  • Scholarly Analysis - Examine the text from a secular, academic perspective using insights from biblical scholars and historians

From Patmos to the New Jerusalem

Journey through John's extraordinary vision, from his exile on the Greek island of Patmos to his glimpse of a golden cube-city descending from heaven. Meet the strange cast of characters: the Lamb with seven eyes, the great red dragon, the beast from the sea, and the false prophet who marks foreheads with the number of the beast.
