Theology 101 - Eschatology Pt.4

If you thought our dive into the Four Horsemen was intense, buckle up. In Week 4 of our series, we move past the sensationalized headlines of hyper-literalism to reveal the deep anti-empire critique embedded right in the text of Revelation 11–13. First, we compare the Futurist timeline of a literal 7-year tribulation against the precise 42-month historical reality of Rome’s military campaign against Judea. Then, we leverage literary insights to re-examine the Two Witnesses not as modern media spectacles, but as a corporate prototype of the Law and the Prophets. Finally, we unpack the "Beast Identification Matrix" and dive into the historical reality of the Mark of the Beast. Discover how the number 666 pointed directly to immediate Roman tyranny, and why the ultimate question of the "mark" isn't about technology, but about who holds your allegiance: the self-sacrificing Lamb or the consumerist machine of empire.
