Marshall’s Biblical commentary on the Apocalypse is extremely pertinent for our times。 Come for the Antichrist part of the title， stay for the Apocalypse part。 In the first part， Marshall deconstructs common myths around the Antichrist， and in the second part， commentates verse-by-verse on the last book of the Bible。 The use of first-person pronouns at times is off-putting， and I do feel that commentary was sparse in spots， but I still did very much enjoy the book。

This is just more millenarianism。 Marian apocalypticism is a big part of that。 Please go read the scholarship （e。g。 tridentines。com/pages/scholarship。html） on this。Please stop living in an echo chamber。 Taylor Marshall is just another influencer， whose niche is the rad-trad world， a very profitable lifestyle movement of the last 5 years。 He cherry picks from things to present to you a world that only he and other rad-trad influences promote。 This is his full time job and he makes a lot of money This is just more millenarianism。 Marian apocalypticism is a big part of that。 Please go read the scholarship （e。g。 tridentines。com/pages/scholarship。html） on this。Please stop living in an echo chamber。 Taylor Marshall is just another influencer， whose niche is the rad-trad world， a very profitable lifestyle movement of the last 5 years。 He cherry picks from things to present to you a world that only he and other rad-trad influences promote。 This is his full time job and he makes a lot of money from being a contrarian & presenting a heavily distorted and one-sided view of the Catholic Church & European history。Secondly， read some outside sources。 I'd recommend the recent "The Pope at War" by David I。 Kertzer" regarding Pius XII。 Just a few things Marshall won't tell you about him: Pius XII covered up child sex abuse （as did nearly all trad bishops of the time）， he had secret meetings with Nazi agents （Pius XII agreed to silence all criticism against Hitler）， and Pius XII had what amounted to a wife （Pascalina Lehnert） living with him for 41 years。 Pius XII also specifically promoted the "New World Order" as has been revealed from recent archives。 He had all the bishops supporting the fascist war effort and he was responsible for burning records of priest sex abuse in Germany。You've all been conditioned for years to become immune to anything outside of your bubble。 Please， read other sides of the story， don't take all your views from the usual rad-trad influencers （Marshall， Tim Gordon， "Fr。 Z"， Vigano， etc。）。 And don't blindly trust your priests and bishops to tell you everything。 Universities have published huge amounts of work since 1990， but the trads seem to want to dismiss it all as "modernism" since it's not being promoted by the SSPX or FSSP or whatever source they trust。 。。。more

Absolutely a must read！ Sometimes a good book is released at the perfect time and this is a good example。 The layout and how it reads is entertaining and informative。 Dr。 Taylor Marshall uses historical context to provide wonderful and most important useful （in the current climate of the church） information。 I'm delighted someone took the time to do the work for a book like this。 Absolutely a must read！ Sometimes a good book is released at the perfect time and this is a good example。 The layout and how it reads is entertaining and informative。 Dr。 Taylor Marshall uses historical context to provide wonderful and most important useful （in the current climate of the church） information。 I'm delighted someone took the time to do the work for a book like this。 。。。more

The book of Revelation in the Bible has been something I’ve wanted to understand for a long time but I've shied away from pursuing independent study because the material felt overwhelmingly difficult and challenging to tackle on my own。 How grateful I am for Taylor Marshall’s book， Antichrist and Apocalypse: The 21 Prophecies of Revelation Unveiled and Described - A Commentary on the Book of Revelation。 Finally， I have a supplementary guide that has walked me through the entire narrative of Reve The book of Revelation in the Bible has been something I’ve wanted to understand for a long time but I've shied away from pursuing independent study because the material felt overwhelmingly difficult and challenging to tackle on my own。 How grateful I am for Taylor Marshall’s book， Antichrist and Apocalypse: The 21 Prophecies of Revelation Unveiled and Described - A Commentary on the Book of Revelation。 Finally， I have a supplementary guide that has walked me through the entire narrative of Revelation， in all its complexity and layers so that I can grasp it in its entirety。 Marshall’s book has given me a greater understanding， through biblical context and line-by-line analysis， of one of the cornerstone stories of my faith。 Antichrist and Apocalypse is useful to illuminate a beginner’s first or second read of the Apocalypse and can be used as a wonderful resource to refer to again and again。 Marshall invites his readers to go deeper into the story of Revelation and rewards them with technical clarity and a soulful understanding of the lengths Our Lord will go to in order to choose us and make a path for those who love Him。 Practical and hopeful。 And during these uncertain times much needed！ 。。。more

Have you ever thought already about why the Book of Revelation is called so when the entire Bible is a revelation itself？ My personal take is because this book contains all of the Holy Scriptures distilled。What I learned from the Antichrist and Apocalypse:The Book of Revelation…•t…can be understood。•t…is to be read。•t…is to be loved。Having already listened to the podcast series of Dr。 Marshall on the same topic some seven years ago， I thought this book would be just the same thing written。 I had Have you ever thought already about why the Book of Revelation is called so when the entire Bible is a revelation itself？ My personal take is because this book contains all of the Holy Scriptures distilled。What I learned from the Antichrist and Apocalypse:The Book of Revelation…•t…can be understood。•t…is to be read。•t…is to be loved。Having already listened to the podcast series of Dr。 Marshall on the same topic some seven years ago， I thought this book would be just the same thing written。 I had a reason to do so， as the series is several hours long。But I was wrong。Beyond containing all the key themes there， the book has several important additions showing that the author was still researching this huge topic thoroughly during the past years as well。 With this background， I find the following topics specifically interesting:•tHolzhauser’s historicist interpretation•tSupposed timeline of future events•tRole of Enoch and Elijah•tExplanation of the millennial reign of Christ （quite detailed）While Antichrist and Apocalypse is a long book itself， populated with references it is still offering vast possibilities to make further researches on your own。 Even if you do not think of Dr。 Marshall as a renowned scholar to be listened to， you cannot circumvent the passages in the rest of the Holy Scriptures， the writings of the Holy Fathers， and the visions of mystics verified and approved by the Church supporting his narrative strongly。Even more， he is writing in a style that is not lost in sophisticated terms of scholarship， but is understandable for all。 He is writing about the Apocalypse as if it were the Super Bowl Yesterday。 Or the Oil Crisis Today。 Or the unfolding of the Ukrainian War Tomorrow。 Because it is important， having an impact on our everyday life even now。So go out there， eat the scroll， and get that blessing！Amen。 Come， Lord Jesus。 。。。more

A Revelation on the book of Revelation （the Apocalypse） The book of the Apocalypse is one of the widest known， but least understood of the books of the Bible。 At times describing a fantastical and Shakespearian style depiction of the end of the world and the second coming of Christ。 Many scholars， Priests and Laymen have used the last book in the Bible as a means of understanding the battle at the end of time; but how does it link to our past， and how does each event in the Bible reveal the path A Revelation on the book of Revelation （the Apocalypse） The book of the Apocalypse is one of the widest known， but least understood of the books of the Bible。 At times describing a fantastical and Shakespearian style depiction of the end of the world and the second coming of Christ。 Many scholars， Priests and Laymen have used the last book in the Bible as a means of understanding the battle at the end of time; but how does it link to our past， and how does each event in the Bible reveal the path to its end？ Dr Marshall’s writings “Antichrist and Apocalypse” details the links and pathways to the last book of the Bible and how we can understand its significance in our lives。 Antichrist and the Apocalypse is a comprehensive guide to understanding the links and connections， from the Old Testament， to the New and to the 21st CentIn the section “One Antichrist or Many Antichrists， it offers an interesting look into the ideas of what an Antichrist is and how they differ from the general evil that we encounter。 Dr Marshal shows how Sacred Scripture has already answered this question by showing that heretical notions and sacreligious practices makes one an antichrist， while at the same time differentiating the importance of the emergence of the one antichrist。 Just as Christ is one and with the Father; and with the whole world （with the exception of the Apostles and a small few）， deriding and scorning him。 The antichrist will be separate and opposed to the father， and with the whole world （with the exception of a small few） being loved and adored by the world， to its detriment and damnation。 As detailed in Dr Marshals book we can clearly see that the Church has gone through many difficulties and persecutions; it is easy to see how people over the centuries have come to the conclusion that the antichrist has already been on the earth。 The common link of evil going through history， with the society in the state that it is in， can we say that the antichrist is not among us？ Antichrist and Apocalypse by Dr taylor Marshall is a must read for all the faithful， and is further support to those that find it hard to live a Catholic life in the light of Christ。 。。。more

There are three things you’ll need when reading Dr。 Taylor Marshall’s newest book， Antichrist and Apocalypse。 The first is a dictionary， so you can look up the words docetic， apostasy， and perdition， all of which appear in the first 24 pages。 The second thing you’ll need is an open mind that is ready to learn new things。 The third is time， because this is not a book you can read in one sitting。 This book has more historical and literary detail than almost every world history book I encountered i There are three things you’ll need when reading Dr。 Taylor Marshall’s newest book， Antichrist and Apocalypse。 The first is a dictionary， so you can look up the words docetic， apostasy， and perdition， all of which appear in the first 24 pages。 The second thing you’ll need is an open mind that is ready to learn new things。 The third is time， because this is not a book you can read in one sitting。 This book has more historical and literary detail than almost every world history book I encountered in high school and college， and trying to assimilate it all in one sitting is impossible。While the focus of this work is the Book of Revelation， or actually， the Book of the Apocalypse， as it was called before the most recent changes to the Bible， the reader is taken on a whirlwind tour of almost every book of the Bible。 We rightly start in Genesis， and we finish our journey in Apocalypse， but no stone in the Old Testament is left unturned， especially if it brings some meaning and explanation to John’s visions。 The start of our travels through biblical times is an effort to help us understand who， or what， the pseudo-Christ - the Antichrist - is。 Dr。 Marshall spends almost 60 pages describing， defining， and detailing who， or what， we will face in the end of times that John describes in painstaking detail in Apocalypse。He then brings us to the second part of the book， where he walks us through every single chapter and verse of the Book of the Apocalypse – in order！ There are charts and lists along the way， but Dr。 Marshall’s primary learning tools are links to both the Old and New Testament， as well as world and Greco-Roman history and folklore， that helps us to see more clearly what John is revealing。And in part three， the grand finale， Dr。 Marshall asks us if we are prepared and are ready， willing， and able to serve Christ， the Lamb， on a daily basis？ Or do we want to serve the beast， the Antichrist？ Do you have the mark of Christ on your forehead， and wish to enter the New Jerusalem？ Or do you wish to stand on the sidelines without the keys to the kingdom？The choice is yours。 。。。more

At first glance， for a simple layman like myself the subject matter appeared to be daunting。 However once started the simple style and the content generated interest。 A complex subject was explained with lucidity。 I particularly liked the maps。 The quotations from both the Old and New Testaments were linked to those from Book of Revelation。 The erroneous views of the Protestant Reformers， Luther etc。， were clearly repudiated。 A book to be recommended

This is not light reading to entertain。 This is to grow and learn。 Thankfully Dr Marshall goes line by line of The Apocalypse and explains what is going on。 I am a convert to the Catholic Church。 I grew up in a family （perhaps it was the church we attended） that didn't mention The Apocalypse （Revelation） or the 2nd coming of Christ at all， that I know of anyway。 And sadly I must admit as a Catholic I've not done my part in learning much about since my conversion other than what we learn in Mass， This is not light reading to entertain。 This is to grow and learn。 Thankfully Dr Marshall goes line by line of The Apocalypse and explains what is going on。 I am a convert to the Catholic Church。 I grew up in a family （perhaps it was the church we attended） that didn't mention The Apocalypse （Revelation） or the 2nd coming of Christ at all， that I know of anyway。 And sadly I must admit as a Catholic I've not done my part in learning much about since my conversion other than what we learn in Mass， Catechism （which I taught） or in Catholic conferences。 While I might be able to say that I know more than most Americans （which certainly isn't say much at all）， I'm still woefully ignorant on this entire book of Holy Scriptures。 Well I suppose I should say I WAS woefully ignorant。 I'm not boasting that I understand it all now。 I don't believe that is possible for any human outside of heaven。Dr。 Marshall takes it slowly and explains each line in great detail。 He clearly has done his homework。 He gives credit to every source he has read on the subject。 And has wonderful footnotes to clarify things。 You can follow him clearly as he explains why， or why not， he believes certainly things about what is going on in St。 John's vision of the Apocalypse。 He explains previous heresies and why they simply can not be true。 He also explains what the Church teaches。 While this is clearly written by and for Catholics， I truly think our non-Catholic brothers and sisters can also gain much by reading this book。 Not so that we may convert them， though that would be a happy accident， but so they can see how others 'interpret' Revelation， specifically how the Catholic Church sees it。 And why it makes so much sense。 Dr。 Marshall goes through it logically and without emotion。 He clearly isn't trying to make anything fit his personal desire of what he'd like it to say。 He simply explains why it means what it means by using other books of the Bible so that we can see the logic。 I could see how it is both past， present and future。 But I could always see why some of our Protestant friends ideas simply don't hold water。 It helps us to know why the Church teaches what it does。 Dr Marshall summarizes in his epilogue:"There is one Jesus Christ and one Bride of Christ。 There are not many Brides of Christ。 There is only one New Jerusalem。 To be saved， you must be inside the new Jerusalem。 The new Jerusalem is the one， holy， Catholic， and apostolic Church。 We enter the new Jerusalem by receiving the mark of his name on our foreheads， by receiving the waters of life， and by dipping our robe into the blood of the Lamb。" Of all my 20+ years of studying faith I can truly not see any other church that can truly fit what scripture tells us the way the Catholic Church fits so perfectly。 It is the reason I fell totally in love with the Church and therefore with her head， Jesus。As a former homeschool mother I could see parents using this in a high school religion class。 I could easily see a wonderful discussion between student and teacher/parent。 Perhaps it would make for a wonderful section in religion classes at Catholic Schools。 But this is certainly not light reading。 It would help if the reader has actually read The Apocalypse before。 I think it would have helped me greatly。 Sure， I've heard it all before but I'm embarrassed to say I have simply sat down to read it word for word。 And honestly I don't think I'd have understood it until now。 Not to say I ever will fully understand。This book will help you to better understand， to the best of human ability， what the message is。 I am someone who is very literal。 I have a difficult time seeing symbols in texts。 So this was vital for me to grasp any of it。 I can see myself reading this book more than once。 Since I read this in digital format I now think I will buy the book in print。 I wanted to take better notes and that isn't quite as easy in digital format。 It's possible， just not as easy。 I think this is an important read to help you better see why the Church is the New Jerusalem and why it certainly can not be the whore of Babylon nor the Antichrist。 Be Blessed 。。。more

The Book of Revelation （Apocalypse） Finally Makes Sense！The final book of the Bible has always been an incredible challenge for me to understand。 I have tried a number of things such as reading The Lamb's Supper by Scott Hahn， reading the Ignatius New Testament Study Bible commentary， and even listening to homilies and podcasts to include Dr。 Taylor Marshall's walk-through of the Apocalypse。 Through it all， I felt I understood certain aspects of the Book of Revelation， but never the entire thing The Book of Revelation （Apocalypse） Finally Makes Sense！The final book of the Bible has always been an incredible challenge for me to understand。 I have tried a number of things such as reading The Lamb's Supper by Scott Hahn， reading the Ignatius New Testament Study Bible commentary， and even listening to homilies and podcasts to include Dr。 Taylor Marshall's walk-through of the Apocalypse。 Through it all， I felt I understood certain aspects of the Book of Revelation， but never the entire thing。 I was sort of resigned to just accept that the Apocalypse was a great mystery that I would never come close to understanding。 I knew that there was a lot of symbolism that we are not to understand， but I felt I should have understood a lot more than I did。This book's style of going through the entire Book of the Apocalypse and breaking down everything step by step was exactly what I needed to have a whole new level of understanding and appreciation of this book of the Bible。 It was a great study that relied heavily on history， prophecy， the liturgies of the Church and Judaism， the Church fathers， mystics， saints， and other portions of the Bible。 I would highly recommend this book to anyone as it is a fascinating topic， but I really appreciated it how a significant portion related to the liturgy of the Traditional Latin Mass。 When I tried those other methods of studying the Apocalypse， I was not regularly attending the Traditional Latin Mass， and I feel that was a major piece that was missing。 In summary， I was expecting to get a lot out of this book， but it exceeded my expectations。 I have read several of Dr。 Marshall's books， and this one may be his best yet。 。。。more

Having enthusiastically read Taylor Marshall's Inflitration， I suspected Antichrist and the Apocalypse would be a sequel， tying the two together。 I was presently surprised that it wasn't a sequel; Antichrist and the Apocalypse stands on its own as a scholarly work on the Book of Revelation， a book that I always found very challenging to appreciate。 Dr。 Marshall masterfully pulls together the great prophesies of the "end times" from both Old and New Testaments so that I finally feel I have an und Having enthusiastically read Taylor Marshall's Inflitration， I suspected Antichrist and the Apocalypse would be a sequel， tying the two together。 I was presently surprised that it wasn't a sequel; Antichrist and the Apocalypse stands on its own as a scholarly work on the Book of Revelation， a book that I always found very challenging to appreciate。 Dr。 Marshall masterfully pulls together the great prophesies of the "end times" from both Old and New Testaments so that I finally feel I have an understanding for it。 I especially liked his treatment of the Book of Revelation as scripture relevant for all Christians in all times。 。。。more

The latest book by Dr。 Taylor Marshall reviews the Book of the Apocalypse which is one of the most frustrating books of the bible to read。 The author of the book， St John， had his revelation on an island just off Greece。 There are quite a few misunderstandings about this book， for example， if we look at the Branch Davidians from Waco Texas who misinterpreted passages of the Apocalypse and which possibly led to the disaster that subsequently happened。 The author， Dr Marshall， breaks down the Book The latest book by Dr。 Taylor Marshall reviews the Book of the Apocalypse which is one of the most frustrating books of the bible to read。 The author of the book， St John， had his revelation on an island just off Greece。 There are quite a few misunderstandings about this book， for example， if we look at the Branch Davidians from Waco Texas who misinterpreted passages of the Apocalypse and which possibly led to the disaster that subsequently happened。 The author， Dr Marshall， breaks down the Book of the Apocalypse by analysing who the antichrist might be as well as going through a lot of the possibilities that are often thrown around about who the antichrist might be。 The line by line review of the last book in the New Testament is backed up by extensive research and cross referencing with the Old Testament， the New Testament as well as the Fathers of the Church and major Catholic saints。 For anyone that might be interested in the Book of the Apocalypse （sometimes called Revelations） than this is a must have read。 。。。more

Dr。 Taylor Marshall brilliantly lays the foundation to understand one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible， the book of Revelation， aka the Apocalypse。 I read this book of the Bible a couple of times。 Each time I walked away with more questions than when I began reading it。 After reading “Antichrist and Apocalypse”， I gained insight into the prophesies of the Apocalypse， their impact on the faithful， the Church and the future。Throughout his book Dr。 Marshall analyzes John’s work from the Dr。 Taylor Marshall brilliantly lays the foundation to understand one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible， the book of Revelation， aka the Apocalypse。 I read this book of the Bible a couple of times。 Each time I walked away with more questions than when I began reading it。 After reading “Antichrist and Apocalypse”， I gained insight into the prophesies of the Apocalypse， their impact on the faithful， the Church and the future。Throughout his book Dr。 Marshall analyzes John’s work from the perspective of the great doctors of the Church， Jewish and pagan authors as well as other relevant sources。 He uses these sources to present a very clear and lucid understanding of each prophesy。 Dr。 Marshall does an excellent job of explaining the linguistics of John’s work， and the linguistics of quoted scriptures used in his book。 He takes the time to focus on key words and phrases that have a direct impact on the meaning of a biblical text。 His analysis of various scriptural translations shed light on how he and other authors interpret scripture and the impact of this interpretation on their analysis。One characteristic of Dr。 Marshall’s writing style is his straightforward analysis that never pontificates。 As I read through the chapters I felt informed and then challenged to think， assess and draw my own conclusions。 The way he delivers his thesis is both compelling and to the point。 His writing is engaging and enlightening。 I never feel as if he is trying to prove himself correct。After reading this book， it is well worth the time to review the appendices。 Each one provides an excellent summary of important concepts covered in the book。 I found Appendix 2: The Minor Chastisement an excellent summary of where the world potentially sits in relation to the appearance of the Antichrist。 I would also recommend to anyone who has not read the Book of Daniel from the Old Testament to do so。 。。。more
