Listen "Why Revelation Isn't a Roadmap to the Apocalypse"
Episode Synopsis
What is the Book of Revelation actually about? Most modern readers treat Revelation as a prophecy about the end times, but ancient readers read it very differently. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Rebekah Haigh to explore how ancient apocalyptic literature works, why Revelation is full of symbols and violence, and how its first-century Roman context changes everything.👉 Dr. Haigh helps us explore:– How ancient audiences understood apocalypses– Why Revelation isn’t a roadmap to the end of the world– How violence, empire, and resistance shape the book– What readers get wrong about Revelation’s message🔗 Resources & Links – Check out Dr. Haigh's podcast: "The Women Who Went Before"✨ Become a Bible & Archaeology patron on Patreon.✉️ Send us your questions: [email protected]🔗 Want to watch the show?
