Like a lot of people, Robert Fruehling was very familiar with the fantasy surrounding the legend of King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table. Robert remembered his sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Penn, reading to the class about Arthur and his knights, asleep in a cave, waiting their time of return. These stories, including the quest for the Holy Grail, are ingrained on our collective psyches, but Robert never for a moment thought one could find evidence in the Bible that a person known as Arthur could have actually existed. Then, in 1995 Robert read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and The Twisted Cross. It was these books that first got the wheels turning, and during a visit to the United Nations Building in San Diego’s Balboa Park, the Wales national flag caught his attention. Composed of a large red dragon, it instantly reminded him of a verse in Revelation 12 that spoke of the same symbol. This image stayed with him, and as he continued to study, questions began to emerge: How will the Anti-Christ be presented? What banner or motif will he use as his own?
Robert Fruehling has sixteen years experience in industry as well as an undergraduate degree from Mount Vernon Nazarene University and an M.A. and M.Div. from Ashland Theological Seminary. He is ordained and has served in both The Church of the Nazarene and The United Methodist Church. Robert’s interest in Arthurian lore began in 1995. Since then, through research and connecting the dots of history, myth, and scripture, the picture and motif of King Arthur has emerged. It is his belief that the legend of Arthur will be used in a grand deception. It is his hope that The Revelation of King Arthur will give warning as we face these “Last Days.”
Book Recap:
The Revelation of King Arthur explores the legends that indicate an inherent yearning for a king, champion, or hero through the centuries. Unfortunately, most of the time the wrong heroes were picked! So, one must heed the warning given by Jesus of Nazareth and understand the deception that has been added to His story by those who would adulterate the truth. The faith and facts surrounding Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection have shaped societies from the beginning. If Jesus did not die and His disciples took Him from the tomb, what happened then? There would have to be another story. It is this other story, “The Guards’ Account,” which became the basis for The Legend of The Holy Grail. From the Bible we also know that Jesus had brothers, sisters, and cousins. Into this mix comes the legend/history of King Arthur. As this topic is examined, the author records that some notable authors even write Arthur into the genealogical line of Jesus. The Book of Revelation lists seven markers that speak of The Beast or Anti-Christ. When these markers are compared to legend, they can point to only one person of history or myth, King Arthur, The Once and Future King.
