The Book of Revelation is perhaps the most misunderstood and misappropriated book of the entire Bible. “Rapture Theology” is a thoroughly modern phenomenon that is not actually supported by the Book of Revelation, and yet it has served as the backdrop to current events in which imperial power, Christian Nationalism, war in the Middle East, and much more have taken root and hold sway in our society in alarming ways today. Join Dean Thomason as he unpacks Revelation’s unrelenting critique on Empire meant to offer a sustaining hope in the midst of strife. This book is as relevant as ever, but we need to reclaim it and the faith in Christ to which it calls us.
