About this listen

The Origin Story of the Book of Revelation

What in the world was going on when John had his visions of apocalypse?

Ancient Rome, AD 64. Alexander, a Jewish doctor loyal to Rome, has his life turned upside down when the evil emperor Nero Caesar launches a horrific persecution of Christians.

When Nero discovers that an apostle has written a secret apocalypse about the end of the world, he orders a Roman warrior to hunt down the scroll, destroy it, and kill the author.

But a bold Christian woman named Cassandra holds a dark secret that opens the door to a world of spiritual warfare they’re not ready to face.

It will lead them to the holy city of Jerusalem and to the true meaning of the apocalypse.

It will change their world forever. And yours.

Tyrant: Rise of the Beast is Book 1 in the shocking controversial series Chronicles of the Apocalypse. It’s an edge-of-your-seat action-packed supernatural epic, written by Brian Godawa, respected Christian and best-selling Biblical author.

Spiritual Warfare, Angels and Demons

The human story is not the only one in the book of Revelation or in this series. Chronicles of the Apocalypse shows the evil plans of Satan and his fallen angels the Watchers masquerading as gods of the nations at war. This gang of demons is not going down easily.

Extra bonus: Historical and Biblical Facts Behind the Fiction

When you buy this audiobook, you’ll get a PDF attachment of more than 100 pages of endnotes tied to the chapters.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Awesome. Another classic by Brian Godawa. A good eye opener for one of the most misunderstood books in the Bible.
The only small section I did not particularly care for was Godawa's presentation of the 3 angel's attempt to capture Appollion before his decent to Tartarus. Godawa showed 2 of the 3 angels engaged in their silly rivalry and inattentive and that was part cause of them not capturing him. I could not wrap my mind around the fact that the evil one was stronger, swifter and far more focused than God's angels. But the book was an absolute classic; can't wait until Remnant comes to Audio books. Godawa is such an awesome narrator Great job!

Im in love with the combination of history and fantasy. The story itself is so well put together that its almost hard to believe it is not a story from the original text of the bible. The story and narration leave you on the edge of seat. The great attention to detail the combination of facts and fiction makes a listener feel as though they are watching events unfold from behind the veil. I have loved Brian's work from the Chronicles of the nephilim to now and i have yet to be disappointed

I'm not typically one to read Christian fiction, but after buying some of Brian's non fiction works and enjoying them immensely, I decided to give this series a try, and I'm so glad I did.

Reading it felt like stepping back in time to the years immediately following the resurrection from the perspective of those living (and dying) for the cause of Christ, as well as unseen realm of angels, both holy and unholy. Not to mention, he's an excellent narrator as well, and I highly recommend giving these books a try.
