The Rapture. The Antichrist. Tribulation. 666. Worldwide Calamity. Each of these words or phrases have captivated the minds of people for over a hundred years. You donÕt have to be a Christian to be aware of what they mean, though. Moviegoers are intrigued by the Antichrist theme. They have padded the pockets of producers every year since RosemaryÕs Baby hit the theaters (1967). Most of us get some kind of guilty pleasure out of being afraid.
Yet is Revelation supposed to make us afraid?
The magazine Revelation: DidnÕt Anyone See It Coming? is an analysis of the prophecies in Revelation 6-18 from a historical perspective. It offers a commentary on how God fulfilled these prophecies, showing that Revelation truly is a prophetic book and God truly is in charge of all of creation.
In writing this magazine, I did not take direction from popular theologians, good-ole-boy preachers, or Hollywood producers. Nor did I take direction from my own biases, of which there are many. My sole purposes were to educate, liberate, and inspire you. That was it. I didnÕt care if I earned any money or fame in return. In fact, if you are not educated, liberated, or inspired after reading this book in its entirety, IÕll refund you the dollar I made after selling it to you.
The prophecies we examine in Revelation: DidnÕt Anyone See It Coming? contain the majority of what todayÕs pop theologians consider the tribulation. If you are one of them, youÕre not going to like this. You have too much invested in your narrative to enjoy learning the truth. If you are open to thinking for yourself, though, this magazine is right for you.
