What does the Book of Revelation actually reveal about our current political moment? Malcolm and Slim dive into this apocalyptic text to discover it's not as mysterious as we've been led to believe—it's a crystal-clear political critique that speaks directly to our time of tribal allegiances and corrupted power.

We explore how Revelation sets up the ultimate conflict between "Team Lamb" (Christ) and "Team Dragon" (the devil and his systems of oppression), challenging listeners to examine where their true loyalties lie. Using recent political developments as touchpoints, we unpack how the biblical imagery of "the beast" applies to modern imperialism and nationalism. What makes this conversation particularly urgent is how many in the church have aligned themselves with policies and leaders that directly contradict Christ's teachings about caring for the most vulnerable.

Most powerfully, we explore Revelation's call to "come out of Babylon"—not as physical immigration but as a spiritual realignment away from systems of domination. Don't run into her 'glitttery arms'!  

All that as well as crossbows, charizard cheetos, and more!
