Questions & answers

Before you open Book 1.

The questions readers ask most — about Revelation, the Fall Feasts, the Hebrew, and the books themselves. Answers are Robert's own, drawn from the books and his interviews.

01

Reading Revelation

Why do so many Christians fear Revelation instead of understanding it?+

Because it is read without the book it assumes you know. The New Testament writers took the Old Testament for granted — a reference to Abraham or Esau carried a whole story with it. Read Revelation with the feasts, the Torah and the prophets in hand and the fear gives way to something else: Jesus will resurrect the dead. That is why Book 1 includes a chapter titled "The Revelation of the Resurrection."

Aren't the parallels between the feasts and Revelation just coincidence?+

Jesus said He came not to abolish the Torah but to fulfill it, and that not one stroke would pass "until heaven and earth pass away" (Matthew 5:17–19). Heaven and earth have not passed away. John was a Jew, possibly of priestly lineage, writing to congregations who kept the feasts. Torah patterns in his vision are intentional, not accidental.

What is the message of the seven churches for us?+

On the surface the churches look different — old organs and pianos in one, a concert stage in another. Underneath, they are one body in Jesus Christ, connected the way the menorah sprouts into seven from a single stem. Robert's plea is to return to the basic teachings of Jesus, whose greatest commandment quotes Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18 — a fact that astonishes many Christians.

Is Revelation a book of ruin or of hope?+

Hope. The Day of Atonements volume walks through Revelation's harshest scenes and finds, beyond them, not an ending in ashes but Jubilee — the beginning of a restored world. Like the Feast of Tabernacles, the last chapters of Revelation are times of simcha, times of joy.

Does Robert think we are living in the events of Revelation now?+

He believes the first seal was opened in 2020 and that greater trials lie ahead — "the white horse is here, and the red horse is at the door." He is careful, though, to label that as his reading of the signs, and the books present present-day possibilities (asteroids, artificial intelligence, transhumanism) as possibility, not proof. His counsel is practical: study the whole Bible, settle your accounts and mend broken relationships, and expect that "the world culture will hate you for it."

02

The Feasts

What are the "appointed times," and why do they matter for Revelation?+

Leviticus 23 sets seven feasts in a fixed order — the Hebrew word is moedim, God's appointed times. Robert's argument is that Jesus fulfilled the four spring feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost) at His first coming, to the day. The three fall feasts — Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, Tabernacles — are the blueprint for His return, and Revelation follows them in order.

Why is it called "The Day of Atonements" — plural?+

Because that is what the Hebrew says. "The Day of Atonement is called Yom HaKippurim in Hebrew. Literally, 'The Day of Atonements.' Plural." There is more than one atonement in view — for the person, for physical spaces, for the land — and Book 2 follows each of them through Revelation 8–16.

What does the Feast of Trumpets have to do with the seven churches and the seals?+

The Feast of Trumpets is a day of examination — the awakening blast that calls God's people to account before the Day of Atonement. Book 1 reads the letters to the seven churches and the opening of the seals (Revelation 1–7) as exactly that examination.

What is "living water," and why is it on your website?+

On the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, as the priests poured water at the altar, Jesus stood and cried out about living water — mayim chaim. Without the feast, the words are only a metaphor. With the feast, you hear what the crowd heard. It is the clearest example of why the Jewish context matters, and it is why this site looks the way it does.

03

The Books

What order should I read the books in?+

In feast order, which is also chapter order: The Feast of Trumpets (Revelation 1–7), then The Day of Atonements (8–16), then The Feast of Tabernacles (17–22) when it releases. Each book stands alone, but the argument builds.

Do I need to know Hebrew to follow along?+

No. Robert does the language work for you and shows it — key words like moedim (appointed times) and mikra (holy convocation) are explained in plain English with Strong's numbers, and every passage is set alongside the ESV, NASB, KJV and TLV so you can check the reading yourself.

What sources does the trilogy draw on?+

The Hebrew text, Strong's Concordance, rabbinic literature and the Torah commentaries, and four English translations read side by side (ESV, NASB, KJV, TLV). Where the text allows more than one reading, Robert gives more than one.

When is Book 3, The Feast of Tabernacles, coming?+

It is in preparation and will cover Revelation 17–22 — Babylon's fall, the marriage supper, and God dwelling with His people. Join the mailing list on the home page to hear the moment it releases.

Is the trilogy suitable for a study group?+

Yes — it grew out of one. Robert taught the Torah verse by verse to a church group, and when they asked for Revelation next, these books are what came of it. The chapter-by-chapter structure follows Revelation in order, which makes it easy to pace a weekly study.
