Revelations is an American apocalyptic drama television miniseries created by David Seltzer and based on the Book of Revelation.

He noted that October 7, 2015, is the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and exactly 10,000 days from May 21, 1988, which he claims is the date the Church Age came to an end. [110]
