219: The Book of Revelation

<p>P&C drink and review Sweet Baby Jesus, a chocolate, peanut butter porter from DuClaw, then discuss the last and possibly weirdest book in the New Testament.</p> <p>The Book of Revelation is often compared to a drug-induced hallucination. It's anything but. It's a very structured, organized book that ties together many prophetic themes from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament tradition.</p> <p>Many themes in pop culture come from this book. The beat, and the mark of the beast. The mysterious number: 666. The four horsemen of the apocalypse. Themes about Babylon, and the whore of Babylon. Plagues. Bowls of the wrath of God.</p> <p>P&C go chapter by chapter and explore the major themes of the book and some of the possible meanings of the text.</p> <p>The overall message is that just as Jesus conquered through suffering and death, Christians are called to the same fate, and will conquer in the end.</p>
