Episode notes

This chapter delves into different interpretations of the Book of Revelation, including Preterism and the three millennial approaches. The speakers discuss the dangers of misinterpreting Scripture, such as the mistaken belief that the COVID-19 vaccine is the mark of the beast. They also explore the historical changes in interpreting the Book of Revelation and how misinterpretations can have political implications.

Many Christians are tempted to just avoid the Book of Revelation. It can seem confusing and hard to read. Yet this avoidance can leave us vulnerable to the misuses of this part of Scripture, especially in making sense of our world. Here to help us is distinguished Biblical scholar, Tremper Longman III. Join us as we dive into the helpful - and unhelpful - ways to read the final culminating book of the Bible.
