What No One Ever Told You About the Book of Revelation w/ Dr. Chip Bennett & Dr. Warren Gage

What’s the true meaning of the Book of Revelation? Is it only about the end times, or have we overlooked its deeper roots in the Old Testament? For centuries, Christians have wrestled with its symbols and prophecies—could it be that we've been missing the bigger picture?

This week, Frank welcomes Dr. Chip Bennett, pastor of Grace Community Church in Sarasota, FL along with his mentor and biblical scholar, Dr. Warren Gage, to reveal the often-ignored historical and theological context behind the Book of Revelation. Tune in as Frank, Chip, and Warren explore how early Christians—and the Church Fathers—understood this mysterious book and what modern readers might be missing. Together, they’ll tackle questions like:

-- What's the surprising connection between the Book of Joshua, Jesus, and the Book of Revelation?
-- Is Revelation a book of fear or a book of hope?
-- What’s the meaning behind the Two Witnesses and Jesus calling Himself “the door”?
-- How are stories like Rahab and Isaac prophetic pictures of Christ?
-- How is Scripture one of our greatest apologetic tools?
-- What did the early church fathers say about the Book of Revelation?
-- Why didn’t John Calvin write a commentary on Revelation, and is it a completely futuristic book?

Discover how the original recipients of Revelation would have read it, and why modern day readers need to recover a historical hermeneutic to understand it properly. This is a must-hear conversation for any and all Bible readers so don’t keep it to yourself--share it with a friend to help them connect the dots!
