Hellenism and the Unfinished Revolution is a series of twenty addresses delivered by Apostolos Makrakis in Concord Square in Athens Greece in the year 1866. These speeches highlight the early development of his (Eastern Orthodox) Historicist view of the bibilical prophecies, and this historical method of interpreting prophecy was expanded further in his full commentary on the Book of Revelation in 1882, The work shows Makrakis was a major proponent of the "Megali Idea" and the restoration of the Byzantine Empire for the young Greek nation. The ideas expressed herein in this work are just as relevant today as they were in the nineteenth century, fully consistent with the prophecies found in Byzantine Apocalyptic Tradition, which fortell a coming blessed era of Orthodoxy upon the world. Makrakis provides a possible framework to reawaken the spiritural slumber of the nation through the message of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to finally achieve the completion of the Greek Revolution which began 200 years ago.

"(...) in a time of times and a half of a time, when the dispersion hath been consummated, all these things shall be-come known." - Daniel 12:7Many Dispensationalist and Preterist scholars have sought to interpret the Apocalypse, but they have obscured rather than unveiled the mysterious secret of the book. This is primarily because they have misunderstood the "times" for when the divine truths were to be revealed, in accordance with the conditions set forth in Daniel 12:7: "¿when the dispersion hath been consummated, all these things will become known." This time having been fulfilled, starting with the end of the Jewish Diaspora and the First Aliyah in the year 1882, the meaning and true interpretation of Revelation was simultaneously brought to light by Makrakis that very same year. Makrakis is considered to be the "Father of the Neo-Historicist method" of prophetic interpretation of the scriptures, as he was the first to reinterpret the Apocalypse through a newer Eastern Orthodox perspective on the history of Christianity. Makrakis breathes new life into the long forgotten Classical Historicist method for interpreting biblical prophecies, which viewed prophecies as a continuous fulfillment of events throughout history until the second coming. All of the important questions and answers have been brought forward for the first time by this largest ever Eastern Orthodox commentary on the Apocalypse. According to the interpretation advanced by Makrakis, many prophecies have been fulfilled precision and accuracy, with a never-before-seen Christological emphasis on key events described through the history of the Church including the rise of every major heresy for the last 2000 years.
