Confused by "end of the world" readings or put off by the dense and mysterious imagery, many readers hesitate to explore the Book of Revelation. Unveiling Empire offers a new entree into this troubling and controversial book of the Bible by examining the roots and social purposes of apocalyptic literature and Revelations own use of traditional imagery. In this way the authors provide readers with the tools for deciphering the texts message--and its urgent applications for Christians today living amidst a new kind of "empire."

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

Revelation speaks to the reality that we are caught in the fray of cosmic conflict. We are guilty. We've already been contaminated. But it's not too late for us to exit empire and enter the kingdom. We are yet both victim and victimizer. We have healing work to do, and we must take responsibility for the ways in which we have benefited from and been complicit with the religion of empire. This is the truth of Revelation. God wants to liberate us in body, heart, soul, and mind.Revelation reveals how scapegoating functions within empire to define its own boundaries and contours as being over and against wicked others.Revelation critiques wealth and shows that even in the first century there was prophetic critique against an economic system that was based on abundance for some, while exploiting the rest.Revelation demonstrates the importance of liturgy as something that forms people into the likeness of either empire or the lamb.Revelation reveals an alternative social order which becomes the center of resistance rooted in a vision of what the book describes as "the multitude."

Here is the book you have been waiting for! There is no doubt that the books of Daniel and Revelation contain some of the most difficult and complex prophesies in the entire Bible. Unveiling Daniel's Prophecies of End Time Events clarifies many of the complexities and answers some of the most challenging questions contained in these prophesies. It sets forth a new and strikingly simple prophetic explanation that allows the reader to fully understand the prophetic sequence contained in Daniel 2 and 7 in association with selected prophecies from Revelation 13 and 17. Many books have offered interpretations of the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, but little attention has actually been given to unfolding prophetic events within the prophetic timeline. In this unique book, the author attempts to rectify this. By sequencing the prophecies of Daniel 2 and 7 along with associated prophecies from Revelation, the author is able to present the logical unfolding of prophetic events from the first world empire to the fall of Rome, to the rise of the ten-horn seven-headed beast, the wounding of the beast, to the rise of the Antichrist, to the coming of the Lord Jesus, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Unveiling Daniel's Prophecies of End Time Events is a highly readable volume and will be a valuable resource for pastors, Christian educators, Bible students, and all who are interested or curious about the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation.
