Chronicles of the Apocalypse

What is the Book of Revelation All About? Hint: It’s Not What They Told You.

Posted on by admin

I was on Nick Peter’s Deeper Waters Apologetics Podcast. It was a great interview. Lively, informative and exhaustive on the topic of the book of Revelation and the “last days” of Jesus’ teaching.  Boy, have modern prophecy pundits got it all wrong.

Listen to it here.

We talked about my journey of how I changed my mind in eschatology, as well as the book of Revelation and how it fits in the first century context. It will blow your mind. Nick is quite smart and knows how to ask penetrating questions that get right to the point.

And if you want to read his book review of my book Tyrant, click here.

He also reviewed my book End Times Bible Prophecy, here.

 

 

Is Brian Godawa a Last Days Heretic?

Posted on by admin

Am I a heretic?

Or just a timid voice of sanity in the wilderness of failed prophecy pundits?

I love these guys at Canary Cry. Best headline for any of my interviews yet.

We don’t have the same view of the end times, but they are gracious and fair and have a good sense of humor.

This interview was energetic and inspiring and intense!

We talked about my change of mind in eschatology (end times beliefs). We talked about the world of modern prophecy interpretation and how extreme and ungracious Christians can be with each other over non-essential doctrines. On that, we agreed!

We talked about my novel Tyrant: Rise of the Beast as well as my theological book on the end times, End Times Bible Prophecy: It’s Not What They Told You.

We talked about Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and Daniel and the Beast. Lively discussion. Helpful in sorting out the problems and issues.

Enjoy the show here.

SPOILER ALERT: I am happy to announce that they concluded I am not a heretic! 🙂

 

 

Omega Frequency: Persecuted Christians Under Nero – Similar to What’s Coming

Posted on by admin

This was a great interview I had with BDK on the Omega Frequency podcast.

Listen to it here.

Episode 94 features an in-depth look at some of the challenges the first generation of Christians faced while living under the rule of Nero. Under the Emperor Nero Rome prided it self on it’s multiculturalism. Early Christians faced many of the same cultural issues we face today. It might shock people to learn that under Rome, Christians had to stand against issues that we find ourselves wrestling with today. Because they would not compromise their faith, Nero branded them “the haters of the world”! Nero also blames the Great Fire of Rome on the Christians. This leads to the horrific persecution of the early church including the martyrdom of the apostles Peter and Paul. How did the earliest followers of Christ stand firm in their faith while living under the rule of a tyrant?

Of course, Christians in Muslim majority countries are already being persecuted in a similar manner. But it is rising in the U.S. too.


Fight the Bible Prophecy Industrial Complex

Are You Sick of “End Times” Same Ol’ Same Ol’?

I am. That’s why I went on the Alexxcast to talk about a new way of seeing Jesus’ prophecy about the End of the Age.

Alexx is not a Christian, but he is very open to hearing other viewpoints, so I do explain a lot of basics to help those who are not as familiar with the typical “Left Behind” scenario, and then I explain where it is wrong, so wrong.

And just what is right, so right. You gotta listen to find out. I promise it is informative and entertaining.

Everything You’ve Heard About the Apocalypse is Wrong

Posted on by admin

 

Okay, maybe not EVERYTHING. But certainly most things. Shocking, but true. The typical scenario of a rapture, Antichrist, 7 year Tribulation etc. all in our future simply doesn’t hold up to Scripture. Find out where you can begin to discover a more biblical way of reading the End Times through the context of the ancient Jewish mindset not our own modern one.

I was on Off the Grid Podcast talking about my new series, Chronicles of the Apocalypse. It was a good show. Very informative and helpful.

Check out the podcast here.

Here is what they write about the interview:

Brian tells us:

  • Why he sees modern-day parallels between the times of Emperor Nero, who persecuted Christians, and events of today.
  • How the theology behind “Chronicles of the Apocalypse” differs from the “Left Behind” books.
  • Why Christians should not be afraid of reading biblical fantasy books – and how such books can encourage them.

Finally, Brian tells us how his interpretation of the book of Revelation differs from the more popular “Left Behind” interpretation.

We learned a lot about Scripture and the apocalypse during our discussion with Brian, and we know you will, too!

This was a great interview with a great host, Adam Sayne.

You are gonna love it. First off, he introduces the audience to the basic schools of eschatology and the end times.

Then at around 30:00 I come on and talk about the theological foundation of my new novel series, Chronicles of the Apocalypse.

I tell my own story of how I changed my view on the end times, I address Matthew 24 and the Last Days, the problem of hyperliteralism, as well as the ancient Hebrew background to understanding the imagery of the book of Revelation.

The Great Tribulation is in the Past – Godawa on the Parker J Cole Show

Posted on by admin

Parker J Cole is an open-minded host willing to explore ideas that challenge the mainstream.

Well, my ideas challenge the mainstream Bible Prophecy Industrial Complex.

You’ll love this show. We talk about the failure of the predictions of modern Bible prophecy pundits, and my own journey of waking up to a new viewpoint of the end times, the fallacious assumptions of Christians with other viewpoints, and how we have missed the meaning of so much of Revelation because we interpret it through modern eyes instead of the eyes of ancient Jews who wrote the New Testament. I talk about the corruption of prophecy interpretation from literalism.

Godawa on Nero, Rise of the Beast, Bible Prophecy: View From the Bunker Interview

Posted on by admin

Derek Gilbert was open to have me on View From the Bunker to talk about my new novel, Tyrant: Rise of the Beast.

This is particularly interesting because Derek and Skywatch do not share my End Times viewpoint, but they were kind enough to let me talk about my view and the novel!

Shocking revelations are guaranteed. You ain’t read nothing like this yet.

Kudos to you, Derek, and your open-mindedness!

Biblical Sanity in a World of Crazy Prophecy Speculation

Posted on by admin

Just Released! #1 Seller in Amazon Bible Prophecy category!

I just released this Bible study to go with my new novel, Tyrant: Rise of the Beast.

So many Christians teach outrageous speculation about Bible prophecy. It’s frustrating for serious Bible students. What if you found out most of it is simply mistaken? That the biblical authors were using Old Testament imagery, not a crystal ball gaze into our modern future? What if you found out that everything that modern prophecy pundits are looking for – the Rapture, the Tribulation, the Antichrist, The Beast – was not what they told you it was, but something different?
