Product Description
"Come out of her, My people" is a realistic interpretation of Revelation's unsealed prophecies; and is the only major book with that title which preserves its biblical context. "Come out of her, My people" (Rev 18:4) is spoken to God's people in reference to leaving a physical location. The Bible is filled with verses which counsel His people to distance themselves from the world's systems and from sin. This command, however, is an echo of Jeremiah's prophecy to leave an actual place. The improperly sealed rendering of Revelation has led other authors to misguided conclusions, due primarily to their reliance on Futurism's faulty premise.
"Come out of her, My people" is a breakthrough interpretation of Revelation that connects John's prophecy with actual places and events of our time. According to Jesus; persecutions, betrayals, false prophets (such as The False Prophet), and lawlessness will occur between "the beginning of sorrows" and the "great tribulation" (read Matt. 24 and see). The Olivet Discourse warns Jesus' disciples in order to prepare them for the troubles ahead. But as these sorrows begin, many Christians will be unprepared and disillusioned when they realize that a pre-tribulation rapture does not spare them from these difficulties. In fact some plagues that could be avoided will overtake those who fail to respond to God's warning to "come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues".
A Jesuit theologian proposed synchronizing Daniel's last seven years with the bulk of Revelation. His quest was to discourage Luther and other Reformers from equating the Pope with the Antichrist. Francisco Ribera's "Futurism" moved the time of the False Prophet into the irrelevant future, sealing up the last 19 chapters of Revelation. St. John was told; "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand." (Rev 22:10).
But where does this theory leave us today? The spirit of the prophets cries out "the end of the age is at hand". Israel is once again a nation! And the earth is truly groaning with pangs; earthquakes, tsunamis, plagues, and wars. This is a critical time to examine God's Word on the subject. This book includes charts to illustrate how popular interpretations of Revelation have changed over the last 2,000 years. -- A "must read" for every American Christian!
"Interpretation of the Book of Revelation, with special emphasis on the identity of Babylon. Steinle’s opening chapters describe in detail the various prophesies revealed to John at Patmos, drawing in other biblical literature as well, such as from the Book of Daniel and the apocalyptic sayings of Jesus in the Gospels. The author brings up the intriguing possibility that the city of Babylon does not represent a single nation but perhaps a world government or federation, but he still believes that the United States, as a single world superpower, may be the center or beginning of such a dominating global force. He points out that two major prophecies have yet to come to fruition: global persecution of Christians and the marking of citizens in order to be able to conduct commerce. Both prophecies, he believes, are possibilities within the foreseeable future. Steinle’s approach differs from those of many other writers on this topic in a major way: He is careful not to make absolute statements or to definitively interpret this very difficult scripture. By presenting his ideas as possible interpretations only, he succeeds in maintaining credibility even with the skeptical reader. His conclusion–that Christians may want to flee the U.S. if it truly is the biblical Babylon–is intimated rather than bluntly stated. Steinle’s reading of scripture is certainly fundamental in approach, but modest enough to be a welcome read to a wide audience." -- Kirkus Reviews
