"Revelation is a pillar of belief in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Historians regularly write that the Enlightenment dethroned it as the basis for knowledge of God and the world, replacing or at least supplementing it with reason. What Benes demonstrates is that in the late eighteenth century religious thinkers across the three main German confessions (Protestantism, Catholicism, and Judaism) rehabilitated the concept in important if untraditional ways. These thinkers were not entirely successful in reconciling reason, revelation, and history. A new generation of philosophers, including Feuerbach and Kierkegaard, attacked the concept again in the nineteenth century. But a secularized concept of revelation persisted and influenced numerous disciplines beyond theology, including history, linguistics, and natural philosophy (e.g. science). The dismantling of propositional revelation bestowed the privileges and agency once reserved for God onto human subjects, relegating religion to cultural practice, not divine truth. In addition to its comprehensive approach, Benes's manuscript stands-out for addressing not just the Protestant majority but also Catholic and Jewish thinking on revelation, highlighting both the common themes and the ways in which their intellectual trajectory differed."--

Despite being a pillar of belief in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the idea of revelation was deeply discredited over the course of the Enlightenment. The post-Enlightenment restoration of revelation among German religious thinkers is a fascinating yet underappreciated moment in modern efforts to navigate between reason and faith. The Rebirth of Revelation compares Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish reflections on revelation from 1750 to 1850 and asserts that a strategic transformation in the term’s meaning secured its relevance for the modern age. Tuska Benes argues that "propositional" revelation, understood as the infallible dispensation of doctrine, gave way to revelation as a subjective process of inner transformation or the historical disclosure of divine being in the world. By comparatively approaching the unconventional ways in which Protestantism, Catholicism, and Judaism have rehabilitated the concept of revelation, The Rebirth of Revelation restores theology to a central place in modern European intellectual history.

In this book St. John's Revelation is approached as a great and singular theological poem. The author tries to see how the poem arose in an inspired mind, by what processes of divination its author explored the realm of supernatural truth, how he used the images of his Old Testament faith and gave them fresh meaning in the context of his scheme. Here the reader may follow the workings of a late first-century Christian imagination in which the Scriptures and the stars, the liturgy of the temple and the magic of numbers, the elements of nature and the march of human history are closely interwoven.

Reading Revelation Responsibly is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and/or preoccupied with the book of Revelation. In rescuing the Apocalypse from those who either completely misinterpret it or completely ignore it, Michael Gorman has given us both a guide to reading Revelation in a responsible way and a theological engagement with the text itself. He takes interpreting the book as a serious and sacred responsibility, believing how one reads, teaches, and preaches Revelation can have a powerful impact on one's own--and other people's--well-being. Gorman pays careful attention to the book's original historical and literary contexts, its connections to the rest of Scripture, its relationship to Christian doctrine and practice, and its potential to help or harm people in their life of faith. Rather than a script for the end times, Gorman demonstrates how Revelation is a script for Christian worship, witness, and mission that runs counter to culturally embedded civil religion.

The prophecy presented here is one of the most critical prophecies in the entire Bible. If we do not have the right understanding of this prophecy, it will be impossible to understand the entire scope of the prophecies that God has given to us. This prophecy is about the Holy Roman Empire’s rebirth. The rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire has already happened, on November 3, 2009. The fulfillment of this prophecy ranks in the top five most important prophecy fulfilments since the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ about two thousand years ago.

The Book of Revelation is for Today, to Meet Tomorrow Everybody knows that the Revelation of Jesus Christ has a controversial history of interpretation. It is the culmination of all prophecy, but more than that, it is about right now and how to make YaHavah and Jesus the true center of your life. The Revelation is more than a study of the Antichrist and the last seven years of tribulation. It is a study on how to overcome the temptations of Satan to be ready for Jesus' return. It is about what Jesus said to Nicodemus. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, In truth, I say to you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of YHVH. The church has not received the full knowledge of what being born again means. That knowledge is in the Revelation that was written about fifty years after the church began. The seven letters reveal some of the problems the churches were encountering. Those problems centered on a condition of rebirth that they did not fully understand. Today's churches are no different. YaHavah reveals that condition in the Revelation. It is time for the Church to review denominationalism and get back on first-century track. Join Ms. Lewis in the most revealing story you will ever read about the Book of Revelation -- and about life right now.
