A New Book - John's Apocalypse

A new commentary on the book of Revelation, like none other, became a reality two weeks ago. The manuscript, ten years in the making, is available in both electronic and print formats.

Why do we need another study on the John’s Apocalypse, you might ask. The answer is simple: many discoveries await us, and the reader will not find them elsewhere. John’s Apocalypse is fresh and new and contains several new ideas never previously presented and concepts to help the reader make sense of what many call a very confusing book.

The new book, "John's Apocalypse: A Jewish Idea," ten years in the making, treats the Revelation of Jesus Christ in a new light. This book captures the reality of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. Scholars tell us John wrote the Book of Revelation in 90-95 CE, which means the destruction of the Temple was in the past tense. When John wrote the book of Revelation, the end of the world was past tense, not future tense.

The Apocalypse opens with these words: “The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place.” (first verse of the book). John tells us the book of Revelation is not about a far-distant future, but, like every other book of the Bible, deals with the current reality John is facing in his personal life.

John lived most of his life in Galilee and Jerusalem. The First Jewish War (66-73 CE) destroyed both Galilee and Jerusalem. Although John moved to Ephesus before the war, he heard news about the disaster in his homeland and grieved. He asked why the God of the universe would destroy the city and the Temple that represent Him? Why would God destroy the city He loves? John’s Apocalypse answers these questions.
