I believe this is a non fictional historical account of the events that take place in the book of revelations.

https://www.amazon.com/Antichrist-Se.../dp/1615790373

Quote:
The Antichrist and the Second Coming looks at the Antichrist and the Second Advent of Christ from a preterist's (The bible is a telling of events of the past, there are no predictions) perspective and provides a unified interpretation of the little horn, the prince to come, the king of the North, and the man of lawlessness.

McKenzie shows how the Antichrist was ultimately a spiritual ruler from the abyss (Rev. 11:7) that worked through Titus in his three-and-a-half-year destruction of the Jewish nation (AD 67-70; cf. Dan. 9:26).

This spirit of Antichrist was about to come out of the abyss in the first century (Rev. 17:8 NASB) and was destroyed by the Second Advent of Jesus in AD 70 (a spiritual event).
It's a really cool take, and if you're hyped on a coming battle between satan and jesus at megido, it will take the hype you have and throw it in the trash.

well it is not like I have a master in philosophy and could help on this topic but pretty much none of you will listen.

I'm looking at you, Gwaihir.

Edit: lord of the ring-esque book about ancient egyptian but entirely based on reality. The Egyptian by Mika Waltari.
