The Book of Revelation, written in the first century, contains imagery that could be interpreted as predictions of future disasters, including nuclear warfare. Jared Brock, author of 'A Devil Named Lucifer,' suggests that while the text reflects cycles of human behavior and past empires' falls, it might also forecast the U.S.'s future decline. He argues Revelation's wild imagery and themes of divine warning could resonate with modern readers facing global conflicts, suggesting we might currently be in one of these prophetic cycles with dire consequences ahead.
"Something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea... a third of the living creatures in the sea died."
"Brock said that it's very easy to read Revelation and map the fall of previous empires onto it, such as the Roman Empire or the British Empire."
