The Ancient
Church of the East was formed during the Apostolic Age. Its scribes copied the Scripture
for centuries without changing it. Since it was in their native Aramaic, it never
had to be translated. To this day, they have never even translated it to their current
vernacular. This is the first authentic translation ever made. I've translated directly
into English so that the greatest number of people, especially Christians, may finally
have access to an accurate, idiomatic and true version of the Gospel. |

Translating
Revelation from the original Aramaic was one of the greatest experiences of
my life. The Book of Revelation is one of my wife's favorites. She urged me to study
it because of it's intriguing references to the Apocalypse. However, I found out quickly, as I began to translate it,
that it was not about the end of the world so much as an index to the whole
Bible. It was to be sure, Eashoa the Messiah's (Jesus Christ's) Revelation of the whole mystery of the universe
to John in a magnificent vision. It is a spiritual history of every essential event
that has ever occurred, that is occurring now and that will occur to the end of time.
The greatest and central part of Revelation deals with Eashoa's (Jesus')
ministry on
earth, his crucifixion and resurrection.
