This site is a teaching ministry of the Disciples Global Network designed to provide you with detailed studies on the books of Daniel and Revelation. The goal is to understand each passage in its literary and historical contexts. The theological center of the Bible is Jesus - his Death and Resurrection. All God's promises and "mysteries" find their significance in him.

According to the Apostle Paul, the "forms of this age" have been "passing away" since the death and resurrection of Jesus. In him, all things have become new; nothing can ever be the same. This includes the identity of the people of God. Already, the “age to come" has commenced, and it is making inroads wherever the Gospel is proclaimed. The promised “new creation" began in the resurrection of Jesus - the "firstborn of the dead," the "beginning of the creation of God."

I research, write, and teach. I am educated in the history, languages, and the transmission of the Bible (and related texts). My focus is on prophetic passages, especially from the books of Daniel and Revelation. My goal is to understand each one in its literary and historical contexts. Currently, I reside on Whidbey Island, Washington, USA.

SYNOPSIS – The complete destruction of Babylon is God’s response to the persecution by “her” of the “saints” – Revelation 18:9-24 .  The book of Revelation now presents its detailed description of the destruction of “ Babylon ,” and the justification for this action. In part, the demise of the “ Great City ” is due to the hatred of the “ ten horns ,” the “ ten kings ” who are allied with the “ Beast from the Sea ” in their God-driven campaign to desolate and “ burn her utterly with fire ” - ( Revelation 17:16 ).

Kings of the East

OVERVIEW - The “Kings of the East” are identical to the “Kings of the Earth” and allied with the “beast from the Sea” – Revelation 16:12-19 . The contents of the “ sixth bowl of wrath ” present the reader with an image of an army led by the “ kings from the sun-rising .” This force launched an invasion from beyond the Euphrates River. The picture was derived from Old Testament prophecies about the overthrow of ancient Babylon by the “ Medes and Persians ” under the leadership of Cyrus the Great. Once more, God was about to employ a “pagan” force to destroy “ Babylon ,” only this time it was the “ Great Whore ” - End-time “ Babylon .” - [ Photo by Kyle Glenn on Unsplash ].
