Episode 9: Revelation 1:12-20 – The Stars, the Sword & the Keys of Death

Imagine you’re a first-century rebel living under the crushing weight of Rome — and a prophet tells you the ultimate weapon against the empire is a glowing man holding stars in his hand and a sword coming out of his mouth.In this deep dive into Revelation 1:12-20, Yo’el Berkowitz decodes the divine figure walking among the seven golden lampstands, the white hair, fiery eyes, bronze feet, the sharp two-edged sword, and the keys of Death and Hades. We explore ancient star worship, Roman military terror, the infrared theory of spiritual vision, and the message of absolute fearlessness for persecuted believers.AI Disclaimer: This episode was created using AI tools to convert lecture notes and transcripts into conversational format.
