Christus Troia Nova and Babylon the Great

Christus Troia Nova and Babylon the Great: How Daniel, Aristotle, Virgil, Seneca, and the Didache Prophesized the USA and the Return of Christ understands Greco-Roman epic and tragedy as a part of Judeo-Christian scripture-that together they make up a more complete whole. Building upon his earlier article, "e;Are Dionysos and Oedipus Name Variations for Satan and Antichrist?,"e; originally published in The Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism, the book reflects new insights about the place of the USA in end-time prophecy.Thus, following Joachim of Fiore, the approach in this book has been to understand history as exegesis. The difference is Joachim thought as Bernard McGinn notes in Antichrist: Two Thousand Years of the Human Fascination with Evil, God s judgment over history is grasped only through the interpretation of the Bible whereas I believe Greco-Roman tragedy and epic, in conjunction with the Bible and the Didache s three signs signifying the final Theophany of Christ, provides a more complete picture. The approach here, therefore, incorporates the following assessment:(1) Dionysos/Satan/Osiris are the same deity.(2) Canaanites/Phoenicians/Ham/Hercules/Cadmus/Oedipus/Alexander the Great/Nero/Macbeth are all related by blood.(3) USA is a reconstituted Roman Empire. It is or can be Dante s that Rome of which Christ was Roman or Babylon the Great of Revelation.
