"Unveiling Ancient Apostasy: Revelation's Take on Truth"

In this episode of DTG Ministries, Scott Stanley delves into the profound themes of apostasy as depicted in the book of Revelation. He explores how apostasy began in the first century—highlighting key denials of the Father, Son, and Christ's earthly incarnation—and how these themes persist to the end times. Drawing from 2 Thessalonians, he examines the continued relevance of these early deviations in truth and how they set the stage for the historical rise of the Antichrist.

Stanley discusses the spiritual and political landscape of the early church, the restraint of the Antichrist during Caesar’s reign, and the historical transition with Caesar's conversion to Christianity. He connects these events to the long-standing influence and challenges posed by Catholicism through the ages, touching on the Protestant Reformation's role in disrupting these established doctrines.

He critically analyzes the "Roman Road"—a popular evangelical method for becoming a Christian—calling attention to perceived misinterpretations and encouraging listeners to consider the deeper spiritual truths in apostasy and salvation. This episode invites the faithful to study scripture more deeply, discern traditions, and encourages personal growth towards attaining the 'glory of God'.
