   The Book of Revelation: The Four Horsemen, The Mark of The Beast, 666 & What Is Happening In The World Right Now

   The Book of Revelation is the most debated, most misunderstood, and most relevant book in the Bible right now. Written around 95 AD by John while exiled on the island of Patmos, Revelation describes a sequence of end-time events that billions of people believe are unfolding before our eyes -- the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Mark of the Beast, the number 666, the rise of the Antichrist, wars and rumors of wars, a one-world economic system that controls who can buy and sell, and the second coming of Jesus Christ. In this episode, XO, AZ, and CDA go through the full book -- what it actually says, what the scholars say about it, what the different theological interpretations mean, and what is happening in the world today that is making believers and non-believers alike pay attention to a 2,000-year-old prophecy like never before.
