Allan McNicol examines the 'Conversion of the Nations' in the book
of Revelation together with the author's vision for final
redemption. Allan McNicol examines the longstanding tension between
the author of Revelation 's description of the destruction of
unrepentant nations early in the book in contrast with their final
experience of salvation in Rev 21.24-26. McNicol examines how the
author of Revelation interprets and refashions both scripture and
the myths of the age in order to lay out his vision of redemption -
leading to his ultimate conclusion that human political power
(Rome) will crumble before the influence of the crucified Jesus.
Through careful attention to references to the 'pilgrimage to the
Gentiles' in prophetic literature, McNicol is able to draw valuable
conclusions as to how the core tension examined may be resolved.
This exegesis is in turn able show how the author of Revelation's
alternative voice to Rome's power emerged among a small minority
community in the Eastern Roman Empire and gained plausibility. This
voice not only could articulate a construct of its own vindication
(thus empowering its own converts) but it also construed a new
destiny for the nations themselves separate and apart from Rome.
