What is the Book of Revelation? And what do we do with the...apocalypse?
And Also With You
Symbols of empire and second chances
Brian examines Babylon and beasts as satire of Rome while emphasizing God's mercy and rescue.
The mark of the beast. Signs and portents. A whole dang book about the "apocalypse" at the end of the Bible.
What on EARTH do we do with Revelation? Is it a literal guidebook for surviving hell? Is it a wacky political cartoon we've overblown? Or is it ... something more? (Spoiler alert: it is much more. It is a book about the end of the world - but that's not what you might think it means). Join us with the fantastic Rev. Brian Fox, longtime friend of both of us and friend of the pod, as we do a deep and wide dive into this book and what good news it has for us as we face our own end times fears.
