The problem with those “scholars” interpretations is that they don’t finish the text. Nero did not cause all to receive marks on their hand or forehead, therefore it cannot be interpreted as Nero that John was speaking of..
When exegeting the scripture we have examine all of it and it all has to make sense..
It makes more sense contextually in the time period we are living in right now.. where there actually could be a global order where in lockstep, everyone uses their cbdc’s, for instance, by swiping their hand or scanning their forehead..
Kind of like how, during Covid, all the leaders were in lockstep, for the first time in history.. we are seeing shadows of things to come..
I think we spend way too much time thinking and talking about futures we don't want. History has been so fraught with barbarism, of course all previous commentary was predicated on more barbarity because that's all they knew, they couldn't see "outside of the box". But we are at a most interesting time now - where we have something no character in history ever predicted - we have the internet. And this allows us to communicate with each other in light speed. Nobody ever saw this - so their predictions are essentially defunct. We are currently perched at a very pivotal time where we can finally claim the reigns to our own destiny, individually and collectively. We can make seismic shifts in our thinking because now we have a communication channel that enables everyone to exponentially thrive. Let's start reimagining our future and make it one we want, not more barbarity and fear.
I believe the Catholic interpretation of Scripture. The Book of Revelation, though rich in symbolism, describes the happenings at the end of time. Many of the current trends such as globalism, anti- Christian beliefs and practices, central bank digital currency ushering in the digital ID to buy and sell, the embrace and spread of death through the sacrifice of unborn babies, euthanasia, man made viruses and their destructive antidotes, are just some of the current events and trends which make me think the end is sooner rather than later. Regardless, each of us will soon face our own death, and will be held accountable for our actions in defending Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life, or not. The cost of this defense will require great courage at a minimum, and more likely than not, suffering an even death. This pandemic has opened my eyes to the corruption and evil that was well-hidden. Therefore, I am strengthening my relationship with our triune God so that I can follow his lead in this ongoing struggle between good and evil. I will continue to pray for you, Dr. McCullough! You have been a huge source of good, and continue to fight the battle for freedom and health, for which I am very grateful❣️🙏🏻
John writes the Revelation of Jesus Christ. It's not the Revelation of John.
Brenda Weltner on youtube has an incredible amount of material on this book. She has been researching it for 5 years and has a unique understanding of the prophetic endtimes.
But our current-day iteration of that ruthless and utterly corrupt chief executive, who also has "an insatiable desire for aggrandizement and total domination of all people," did. Excepting that, we are living through the same horrifying tyranny which led to John's exile, that is, cancelation. No wonder you are "thinking a lot about [John] and his strange Revelation."
We finished a study of Daniel in bible study and talked also about John. Thank you Doctor for writing this post. I see the world today as a war between the the bible's seven sins and the power of love... lightness vs dark. When people give up their common sense and critical thinking and get greedy and power hungry... well, we have what we have.
Righteous indignation, also called righteous anger, in some Christian doctrines, is considered the only form of anger which is not sinful. Nor is covert action.
Thanks for this extremely relevant focus on a widely maligned part of our Scriptures: the last and most difficult part. I have dedicated many years to the study of this text and I would just like to make 3 short points to potential readers: start at the end, in chapters 21-22, for a glimpse of the future awaiting us if we have faith and continue to witness that Faith. Before we get there, difficult times are ahead, and if you want John's description, go straight to chapter 13. Final point, the author/seer, John, is indeed the Apostle: Early Church tradition is nearly unanimous on that (see Eusebius, Church History for that) and the arguments against it are all disposable (here is my own takedown: https://www.newtorah.org/pdf/Saint%20John%20Apostle%20or%20Incognito.pdf ).
so much congruence at it is about 2000 years or so ago?!!! amazing! Either men always stay the same throughout history and there are among us always those who want to destruct und supress their fellow human beings for their own benefits (which is of course a very short sighted strategy as no man is an island intire of itself and cannot survive on his own), or John of Patmos was a true visonary of 2020 - 2030! We seem to slowly move in to the era of the black horseman if Holland continues to urge its farmers to kill their lifestock and Billy Goat pushes ahead with his factory made meat and food (which of course runs fully on solar energy and has no CO2 or Methane out put what so ever...) and will only be delivered to those who's digital ID is up to date with jabs and hasn't much CO2 output on it.. let's start to green our flat roof tops and start sprouting our own veggies! maybe some cows in NYC central park or o parking lots that we cover in soil ?! Thank You Peter McCullough for sharing your rich knowledge of history!! and even a capitan - sailor!!! May you be well and all your loved ones!! Thank You!
There is a bit of theological doubt about the writers opinion of The Revelation Of Jesus Christ. It is clearly John of Patmos the beloved disciple. We are seeing exactly what he wrote about unfolding in our time. The stage is being set for the Antichrist. See Daniel 7 and 12

You and I both Dr. McCullough...you and I both. God bless Sir.
Yes. The book of Revelation is getting a lot of interest these days. At a minimum it’s relatable now.
John writes the Revelation of Jesus Christ. It's not the Revelation of John.

Nero didn't need Dominion voting machines.

See Revelations 18:23.

Thank you for posting this.
There are four basic views of Revelation:
Idealist (Allegory),
Preterist (all happened before 70 AD),
Historicist (the Ancient Church, Roman Catholicism, etc.)
Futurist (literal premillennialism)
Here is a Four Horseman Recap using a literal futurist view. Very timely.

It is a good time for that research, doc. I suggest post haste even. A quick read would be Matthew 24. GODSPEED
Humble edit: Rev 13:18 rather than 13:8
