God sent His only begotten Son to the sons of God hoping that they would receive Him… Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan tells us how they chose the Roman empire over the Son who knew how to set up the kingdom of the Father. The death of the Son was the first sign of the end times for them; it was followed by years of political chaos and false prophets.

Chapter 13 introduces us to the terrible battle that is coming in the 2nd half of the Book of Revelation. St. John gives us a picture of who satan is and what he will do defeat the son of God. Jesus was tempted in the desert because satan refused to believe that He is the son of God. We are getting into Spiritual Warfare; only those in union with God will persevere in this terrible battle.

This battle began with the enmity between satan and the woman. Jesus told us, before His own confrontation with the devil, that satan was the prince of this world meaning the power behind all the evil on earth. We meet the evil trinity - satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet - who try to destroy the earth before the reign of the most Holy Trinity.

Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan takes you to the world of the Apocalypse of John shown to us in the Book of Revelation written from the Greek island of Patmos. Through this podcast, we will try to understand the Book of Revelation through St. John’s warnings, the punishment that awaits, and the consolation the Lord offers to the faithful.
