Decoding Death: End of a Monarch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069819437)

Death was always the enemy.

What if the Bible's story of death, Satan, judgment, and resurrection is not the story many Christians inherited?

For centuries, many Christians have been taught to read Scripture through frameworks shaped by tradition, philosophy, and later theological systems. Some are welcomed in. Most are cast out. The majority are consigned to eternal fire. Over time, the lines hardened between elect and rejected, redeemed and condemned.

But what if we got the story wrong?

What if the Bible identifies the true enemy not as human failure, but Death itself: the power that enslaves, corrupts, and destroys? What if judgment is not about condemning the victims of death, but about destroying the power that held humanity captive? And what if Christ did not merely restrain that enemy, but abolished it, casting Death itself into the Lake of Fire?

Decoding Death follows the biblical movement from Adam to new creation:

Adam → Death enters; the curse begins.

Law → Sin is exposed; death remains undefeated.

Christ → Death is entered, judged, and defeated.

Resurrection → Christ rises as the Firstborn from the dead.

Spirit → Resurrection life begins within the living.

Judgment → The old order is exposed and brought to its end.

Revelation → Death and Hades are cast into the Lake of Fire.

New Creation → Resurrection life is opened to all in Christ.

This book reexamines what Scripture says about death, evil, judgment, resurrection, the end of the age, the destruction of Jerusalem, the Lake of Fire, and new creation, allowing these themes to be read together within the story the Bible itself is telling.

The result is not a softer gospel.

It is a finished one.

Death was destroyed.

We were always the plan.

All of us.
