Description
The Book of Revelation has been interpreted many different ways. Revelation: Fall of Judea, Rise of the Church focuses on three concepts from Scripture: John the Baptist announced who the Messiah is; those who try to destroy the Messiah’s mission will themselves be destroyed (Judea ceased to exist as a nation from A.D. 135 until recent times); and Satan will be released after one thousand years to deceive the nations. Unlike many popular interpretations of Revelation that predict a future rapture and tribulation, Williams proposes that many of the predictions happened during the early Church age as unbelievers tried to destroy Christ’s Church. Satan, as predicted, was released to deceive the nations one thousand years after the Church was firmly established. To drive his theme home, Williams compares Scripture to historical documents throughout the book. As a result of this deception, non-believers are convinced that today the world is in the post-Christian Era. The world today is also filled with thousands of conflicting Christian sects and with non-Christian, occult, even anti-Christian movements that have propelled humans to a disregard of God’s intentions as serious as the one before the flood. Maurice A. Williams got his inspiration from J. Massyngberde Ford who proposed that some visions of Revelation were originally preached by John the Baptist. John the Evangelist was a disciple of the Baptist and incorporated those visions when the Evangelist put the book of Revelation into writing near the end of his life. If this is correct, it provides a significant key to interpreting many of the visions in Revelation. There’s no reason to doubt it. The Baptist certainly had much to say announcing Christ, but very little of what he said has been directly attributed to him in Scripture.
