This book attempts to decipher the Book of Revelation using a modern, non-religious interpretation and tries to picture the visions which John was shown 2000 years ago, in terms of today’s modern world.
It is obvious that if the visions he saw were of the “End Times” or after 1948, as the End Times have been defined, then his visions would of necessity have included modern artifacts such as aircraft, cars, helicopters and skyscrapers, for which he had no vocabulary to describe. He could not have seen true prophecies of the End Times without seeing these modern inventions. If we look carefully and with understanding at his “visions”, we will see all these modern artifacts, if we allow for his lack of knowledge of the "End Times" and his limited vocabulary.
Finally, we must learn from John’s mistakes. He interprets the persons with him in the place where he is receiving the visions, as “Angels” and the leader as “Christ”. When he falls down to worship one of the “angels”, he is told in no uncertain terms by the angel in question, not to do it, because “I am just a fellow servant like you”
It is my contention that the individuals in what I name “the control room”, where the visions are being shown, are normal human beings trying to do a job of preparing humanity for “what must come to pass”. Who these people were and how they could see, let alone show, these visions to John is beyond the scope of this book. It could be the subject of another book at a later date but not knowing who these people were, or where they came from does not detract from the validity of the interpretation of the visions.
The arguments and explanations in this book are, I hope, clear, well reasoned, cross referenced and entirely plausible, knowing the period to which the revelations refer and readers are invited to judge the validity of the interpretations for themselves.
