Revelation: Fall of Judea, Rise of the Church

Maurice A. Williams

4.9/5 (26671 ratings)

Description:"The Book of Revelation" has been interpreted many different ways throughout history. " Fall of Judea, Rise of the Church" focuses on three concepts from "Scripture" John the Baptist announced who the Messiah is, those who try to destroy the Messiah's mission will themselves be destroyed (Judea ceased to exist as a nation from A.D. 135 until recent times), and Satan will be released after one thousand years to deceive the nations.Unlike many popular interpretations of "Revelation" that predict a future rapture and tribulation, I argue that many of the predictions happened during the early Church age as unbelievers tried to destroy Christ's Church. I searched historical document of first century history to show how well the visions match actual historical events of first century much better than current events of the twentieth century do. Satan, as predicted in Revelation, was released to deceive the nations one thousand years after the Church was firmly established. As a result, the world today is filled with thousands of conflicting Christian sects and with non-Christian, occult, even anti-Christian movements that have propelled humans to as dangerous a rebellion against God as the one before the flood.I hope you like my book. Before marketing my book, I decide to send out copies of my book to nine professional book reviewers to see how well my book would be received.Here is what Michael Field writing for Feathered Quill reviews had to Fall of Judea, Rise of the Church by Maurice Williams propounds the Preterist interpretation of the Book of Revelation.Williams lays out a well-researched and constructive argument that states the visions in the Book of Revelation relate not to our time, but rather to the first and second century Christian community. Using compelling historical, linguistic, and biblical insights, Williams assigns the authorship of Revelation to John the Baptist and not John the Evangelist. While this is not a widely held theory today, Williams’ scholarly approach, examining biblical texts, theories held by biblical experts, and historical documents, may cause the reader to approach the Book of Revelation with a new appreciation for the Preterist position.The Christian reader, interested in applying biblical prophecy to history will gain a fresh insight into biblical symbolism and early Christian life. Fall of Judea, Rise of the Church is generally well written, focusing the reader’s attention on relevant scriptural passages while introducing supporting social and political historical information. Fall of Judea, Rise of the Church is a book that a serious and open minded reader, interested in the book of Revelation will find enjoyable and may alter his or her understanding of biblical prophecy.Quill A book that will enhance your understanding of the Book of Revelation.Here is what Richard Blake writing for Readers Views had to Maurice A.

This is a profound, thought-provoking approach to an interpretation refuted or overlooked by many evangelical Biblical scholars today.Williams interpretation of the four winds found in chapters eight, verses six through twelve goes against the more popularly accepted view of the “great tribulation” promoted by the futurists.
