Synopsis

The 'Eschaton' , the last era or age of fulfilment has finally dawned. This has arisen from the Passion, Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and is the central Eschatological tenet of the Kerygma - the first century Apostolic proclamation of the Gospel message which is the essential meaning of prophecy (viz. the entire book of Revelation) as the testimony of Jesus (Revelation 19:10). This relates the model that fully deciphers the Apocalypse in terms of Inaugurated eschatology by defining it as a complex, multi-layered and Kaleidoscopic Allegory (Spiritual depiction) of the Easter Story, written in the late first century AD not only to promote courage amongst Christians in the face of Jewish and Imperial Roman persecution but also to combat the pre/proto-gnostic heresy of docetism that had claimed that Jesus was an illusory Spirit being who had not actually come in the flesh. It does so by on the one hand, presenting Jesus within the Easter Story as the fearless and heroic ‘Lion of the tribe of Judah’ who purges the temple and as God’s prophetic mouthpiece proclaims God's word to an apostate Jewish nation, causing Him to endure unflinchingly, the sufferings of His passion and crucifixion as the full brunt of the wrath of God on a fallen creation and its evil inhabitants are poured out upon Him in order to atone for the sins of the world and on the other hand, portraying the surface text of the visions of the apocalypse as illusory, non-literal allegorical happenings whose purpose is to draw attention to a meta-narrative that displays the close of Christ's earthly ministry, His passion, death, burial and resurrection within the Easter Story as ultimate physical flesh-and-blood reality. This publication will show that the Easter Story is the basis of understanding the Apocalypse because it is the common denominator that accounts for all the book’s major peculiarities:
The Easter Story fulfils the protoevangelium or first gospel (Genesis 3:15 ff) which is the main theological emphasis of the Apocalypse' Grand-Mega-Chiasm. Other Chiastic structures within the apocalypse support further aspects of the Easter Story. The eschatological nature of the book is consistent with the Easter Story as a fundamentally lnaugurated Eschatological end time happening in which Jesus bears the full brunt of the awesome wrath of God poured out upon the wicked on the classic 'day of the Lord' written about by the prophets and apocalyptic writers of antiquity. (Hebrews 9:26) The book's liturgical character consisting of a host of songs and choruses is in keeping with the liturgical character of the East Story occurring within the context of the major Jewish and liturgical festival of Passover. Prominence is given to:
Symbols of the plagues of Egypt as consistent with the Passover festival as the culmination of all the Egyptian plagues.
The Jewish Temple as the locus of Jesus' temple ministry, confrontations with the Jewish authorities and fulfilment of the Jewish sacrificial system through His Passion, death and resurrection. Jesus' Olivet discourse or little Apocalypse designating this publication as an expression of a Gospel oriented Partial-Preterist position.
The book's linguistic peculiarities whose glossolalic (speaking in tongues) character in the Koine Greek is in keeping with the prophecy that the kerygma would be proclaimed by men of stammering and stuttering lips and peculiar language (Isaiah 28:9-13)
In this imprint, serious and mature Christian Theology Students as well as enquiring scholars will find the book of Revelation's hidden and mysterious secrets meticulously unravelled in unparalleled detail within the Easter Story and previously unanswered questions finally settled once and for all time
