Revelation and the Fall of Judea

Maurice A. Williams

4.9/5 (16255 ratings)

Description:The Book of Revelation has fascinated the world ever since John penned it. Its dramatic visions and warnings have fascinated all of us. But what does it mean? That is a mystery that has yet t be clarified. I found reference that some Biblical scholars believe that most of this book came from the preaching of John the Baptist. John the Evangelist was a disciple of the Baptist before he was selected by Jesus to become an apostle.This was a clue for me to understand Revelation. We all know that the Jewish people were selected to cleave to Jesus, the Messiah and become his church to save all of mankind, but when Jesus came, sadly the Jewish leaders did not recognize him and connived to have Jesus put to death. What a huge mistake for them. And we all know that the Jewish nation had collapsed hundreds of years ago and only recently was re-established. It looks like they were punished for their failure to cleave to Jesus. And we all know that John the Baptist was sent to announce the arrival of the Messiah. Why is it that there is no record of him warning the Jewish people what would happen if they refused to accept the Messiah?My book argues that there is such a record. Chapters 4 through 16 and the Evangelists written description of the preaching of the Baptist before the fall of Jerusalem, The Temple and the nation around seventy years later. It is not hard to see this if one accepts that a major portion of Revelation was based on the oral preaching of the Baptist. Not many people today are familiar with the history of the first century. I spent several years searching ancient writing and found a step by step agreement between many oy the visions in Revelation and actual historical documents. That’s the back bone of my book.After I finish my book, I sent copies out to professional readers for appraisals of my book. Here are two of them:DR. Bennis, writing for Book Review.com had this to say:In this ambitious work, Williams takes on a challenging subject in a masterful and unusual way. For nearly two thousand years, people have been interpreting the Book of Revelation as though it had been written specifically for their own time. Today we are flooded with uneven interpretations and fictionalized versions of the Book of Revelations, all attempting to prove that the events portrayed in this enigmatic portion of the New Testament are occurring or about to occur in our life time.But what if they're way off the mark? What if the prophecies described in the Book were meant to reflect the times in which it was written? The concept makes good sense, and the research Williams puts behind his theories drives them home.Not only does Williams describe in detail the political, financial and social woes suffered by Christ’s devotees in the years directly following the crucifixion, he ties together well-documented historical events that match Revelations 4 through 16.In the last chapter of the book Williams gives us his take on other interpretations and interpreters as widely varied as St. Augustine, the Jehovah's Witnesses, Billy Graham, Carl Jung, and Edgar Cayce.This book is a MUST HAVE for any true biblical scholar. It is an even-handed, well-written look at a subject that is too often moved from research and faith to pure fiction.James Cox, editor of Midwest Book Review had this to say:"Revelation And The Fall Of Judea: A Comparison Of Chapters 4 Through 16 To Historical Events Of A.D. 27 Through 135" by Maurice A. Williams is an insightful, point-by-point analysis of thirteen chapters in the New Testament Book of Revelation, comparing it closely with the key events of Israelite and Judean history.
