Cracking the Apocalypse Code: The Shocking Secrets of the Book of Revelation Decoded: The Prophecies of the Last Book of the Bible - Revelations Hardcover/gebunden - 2000

In 1994, Gerard Bodson was in Greece defending his candidacy for the European Parliament when he met Father Alexander during a retreat on Mount Athos. The monk shared his own fascination with The Book of Revelation and agreed with him that numbers -- in particular 666, the number of the Beast -- could hold the key to the prophetic secrets of this last book in the Bible. Inspired, Bodson returned to France, where he brought together a team of researchers including Catholic theologians, Jewish Kabbalists and computer scientists. Their mission was to decipher Saint John's mysterious text.

In a book that reads like a great detective story, Bodson shows how he, along with Father Alexander and the team of researchers, cracked the code to reveal the first revelations of the Beast -- a detailed prophecy of World War II. But Revelation refers to two Beasts, not one, and the meaning of the second Beast is in the foretelling of World War III, which will be sooner than we might think. Originally, the team had not intended to publish their findings, but recent world events have provoked them to do so, for the prophecies that they have unearthed are already in the process of unfolding around us.
-- In September 1998, North Korea launched a missile that violated Japanese airspace. This incident set off international alarm bells and made Gerard Bodson realize that he and his team of researchers could no longer keep their findings hidden. For they had already cracked the code that could have warned us that the missile strikemight happen.
-- The author and his team revealed not one but two Beasts. The first Beast was Adolf Hitler. The second Beast is a man who is among us now. He is a modern-day Hitler and will lead the people of China into a conflict that will sweep the four continents of America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
-- China and its close ally North Korea, will launch a nuclear attack at noon on February 5, 2043. The target, Japan, will be annihilated.
-- In retaliation, the United States and her Western Allies will launch a nuclear counterattack. Over three billion people will be killed. All social infrastructures will be destroyed. It will be impossible to control the epidemics caused by the putrefaction of several million corpses.
-- China will overcome the Western alliance. Financially ruined. China will force its subjects to campaign against the Middle East to seize oil resources. Peace will have become a reality in the Middle East in 2008, until it becomes the stage for Armageddon, the last battle.
-- Not only is The Book of Revelations an encrypted book of prophecies, it is a warning. Gerard Bodson is clear that we can act now to avoid these events. They are not inevitable, although -- as the first Beast has shown us -- they can become our history if we ignore the warning.
