Review of Revealing the Book of Revelations
Posted: 18 Jun 2025, 16:36
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Revealing the Book of Revelations" by Peter Bellone.]
In [<i>Revealing the Book of Revelation and the Soon Coming Salvation</i>], Peter Bellone, a member of the Church of God, contends that the Book of Revelation should not be included in the New Testament or the Old Testament. Instead, it should be viewed as a stand-alone book. The author promises to cover each verse in order, but he soon breaks that promise. He also believes that the meaning of some verses is only given to members of the Church of God. This book includes large excerpts from Pastor Harold Smith and Frank W. Nelte. Furthermore, the author treats Wikipedia as a primary source.
One of the first things that Bellone does is tell readers that he does not believe in the Trinity. Instead, he perceives a hierarchy that includes God, Jesus, various angels, and the Apostle John. The author claims that the idea of a Trinity is based on pagan traditions.
I found the discussion of what will happen in the end times from major religious groups fascinating. The author uses information from learnreligion.com to write this section.
In addition to discussing why he does not believe in the Trinity, the author discusses several key points numerous times. He believes that Saturday is the day for worship. According to Bellone, the Council of Liodicea changed the day to Sunday by enacting Canon 29. He does not believe in biblical Jews. Instead, he sees it as being a nationality, like being American or German. He also believes that the New Covenant will not begin until Christ comes again.
The author defines two types of churches. He sees only those worshiping on Saturday as being part of the Bride of Christ. Bellone sees Roman Catholics and most Protestants as ending up in the Lake of Fire, because Simon Magus deceived them. He also goes into great detail about why Peter could not have been the first pope.
I would love to read how the author arrived at the idea that Jesus was born on October 2, 5 BC.
This author writes about many things that have nothing to do with the Book of Revelation or where I had a hard time making the connection to the verse where he discussed them. This book contains numerous grammar errors. There are passages that Roman Catholics and most Protestants may find offensive. This book does not contain any sexual content or profanity. I rate this book a 2 out of 5. I am thankful that I read this book because now I know more about their beliefs. I think members of the Church of God or those wanting to know more about their beliefs will enjoy reading this book.
