The Instigators of the Apocalypse is a winner of the silver medal in the 2015 Illumination Book Awards in the category of Best Non-Fiction EBook and has placed as a finalist in the 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards in the category of Best Christian Non-Fiction Book. The Instigators of the Apocalypse takes the reader on a journey through the history of Christian eschatology and prophecy's influence on western civilization. It explains how the book of Revelation was misinterpreted by the fourth and fifth century church leaders and used to start wars and revolutions, including the Crusades, the conquest of Mexico by Spain, the English Revolution, the American Revolution, and the American Civil War. The book also demonstrates how false notions of the Apostle John's Revelation and false medieval Christian prophecy helped give birth to today's Islamic terrorism, including Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State's desire to conquer Palestine and Jerusalem as well as inspiring Iran's quest for weapons of mass destruction. The Instigators of the Apocalypse provides a warning to mankind that its age old quest to build a utopian world by its own efforts, whether religious or secular, is leading to the actual Apocalypse envisioned of John.
