Revelations

Chronology of Revelations

 

    Most people say that the Book of Revelations is not to be understood. The word in itself means to reveal, the uncovering, to make known. I am going to do an outline of this Book to help you understand what it is all about before I go into the “MARK OF THE BEAST” chapter.

 

    Chapter One is written to the seven churches [the main ones of today] and Jesus is speaking here. The seven churches are basically on a map in a circle of that day, but they circle the glob today. The number “seven” in Biblical  numerics is ‘Spiritual” completeness.

    It is written that this one speaking to John is the “BEGINNING and the END”. He created all and He will bless all in the eternity.

    John was on the Isle of Patmos, and this is where this revelation took place. In verse ten it says, “I was in the Spirit”. What does that mean? It means he was thinking of Spiritual things, of God. He wasn’t thinking of fleshly things, of the world around him. “and I heard behind me a great voice as of the sound of a trumpet.” This was the voice of God It says this was on the Lords day. What day is that? It is that “one day” that all things shall come to pass. He was taken in the spirit to that day to be shown the actual events that were to happen in the end times, at the end of this earth age of flesh.

    He looks back in time and ahead in time, but it is all about the “LORDS DAY”. That is the subject. What happens on the LORDS DAY? It is the second advent of Jesus Christ, which is in the future.

    Jesus begins in the second chapter addressing the churches and on into the third chapter. There are only two churches out of the seven that he finds no fault with. What are these two churches teaching? They know who the true children of God are, [Matthew chapter thirteen], and the key of David, which means the true seedline of the house of Israel and the true house of Judah. If you know this, then you will know where else to look for Satan, the Anti-christ, Apollyon, all the names Satan is called by in the Bible.It is easy to follow the seedline if you know what it is you are looking for.

    Then in chapter four, John is at the Lords Day in the spirit. He is taken to Heaven in the spirit not in his flesh body. The throne of God is there before him. He is in Paradise and right there by the Heavenly temple.

    A door opens and the first voice he hears was the voice of God talking to him, John, the writer. And the voice said to him, “John” [not the church] ‘Come up hither and I will show thee, things which must be hearafter.” John was taken there so he could tell us what to expect in the end times so we could better prepare ourselves when these things begin to happen, while we are still in our flesh bodies. John is allowed to see God, the Elders, and even the “Beasts” around the throne. These Beasts are the protecting Angels of God which do only the will of God.

    In chapter five we are shown a book which has seals. No one is worthy to open those seals, meaning no one was found worthy to see the end-depth truth of Gods plan until the Lamb of God paid the price with His blood on the cross. Then the seals were opened, and those that were worthy, those that sought the truth of Gods Holy Word placed those seals in their mind, or in other words, their forehead. There are seven seals, and you must have them in your mind to protect you from the false Christ that is surely coming before the seventh trump! If you have these seals in your mind then you will not be deceived by the first “JESUS” to appear on this earth. The first one is a fake!

    Chapter six . The number six is the number of mankind and also the number of the “BEAST” Three time six 666, three world ages. We are shown the method of operation of the “BEAST”, or the false Christ.

    Some say that all the Christians will be gone by then in a Rapture but in the ninth and tenth verses it says that some of the Christians will be slain for teaching the word of God. White robes will be given to all of you who stay in Gods field teaching His word. You rest a little season until the other Christians are delivered up before DEATH, which is only one of the names of Satan. Where he will try to kill your spirit or try to convert you in his great revival of all times! He is not allowed to kill anyone. He is pretending to be God. He wants you to love him and worship him.

    Then in chapter seven we have the four winds which are covered in detail in the book of Daniel. The four winds control that instant, or moment, that hour, when God releases them on the Lords Day. But first something must be done to seal the word of God in the minds of Gods people. All the teachers of the Word of God that have been chosen by God must bring forth the message or Gospel of God which this Bible is all about.

    In chapter eight the seal is opened. There is silence in Heaven for one half hour. This is because all “HELL” is going to break loose on earth. It is the GREAT DECEPTION, not some great battle with lots of blood shed, will be in progress. It will be such a Great Revival as you have never seen before! There is just one BIG problem, it is not Gods church. It is Satans church, that is the DECEPTION.

    Then this same chapter begins to zoom in on how each of these deceptions or seals are poured out. The seals are the trumpets and they mean “action”. When the trumpets sound that is when that particular seal or event takes place.

    In the ninth chapter you have Satan, or Anti-christ defacto! Along with his Locust army, the army spoken of by the Prophet Joel. Joel tells us exactly what will happen to this army of Satan.

    Chapter ten tells of the thunders. They are sealed or shut up. Do you know when it thunders? It happens after the lightening. The lightening does the damage and you don’t hear the thunder until after the damage has been done. We hope you understand before you hear the thunder. The seals are the truth and the knowledge of that which shall be.

    Chapter eleven tells about the TWO WITNESSES, and the seventh trumpet when all flesh bodies will be changed into spiritual bodies as explained in First Corinthians chapter fifteen. Instantly as those two witnesses, after lying in the streets or arena, dead for three and one-half days, begin to rise. Then shall the TRUE CHRIST return. THEN we will be “caught up” or changed into our spiritual bodies. We will not “FLY AWAY” in a “Rapture”! Why would you even want to? Jesus says He is returning back to this earth.

   Do you know why GREAT FEAR fell upon those that saw the two witnesses STAND UP on their feet and rise up to Heaven? They thought these two witnesses were crackpots. Satan cannot give life, only Christ can, and so when they stand up from being dead, the deceived Christians will know that they have been “HAD”!

Instantly after this happens, we are ALL changed to spiritual bodies. Not just a few. ALL, good or bad, saved or sinner. What should you remember? As long as you are still in your flesh bodies, the TRUE CHRIST has not returned, and this WILL NOT happen until the FAKE one comes first, claiming to be God.

    Then we come to chapter twelve. This is a “PARENTHETICAL” chapter. This goes back into the “WORLD THAT WAS” and what happened back then, how Satan deceived the souls at that time before the age of flesh, and how he is going to do it again. How that NOW he is being held in Heaven. How he will be booted out of Heaven back to this earth in the end times by Michael and his army of Angels. It zooms in, then falls back and then zooms in on the actual events as they begin to take place. Even to the beginning of Satans  attempts to deceive YOU!

    Chapter thirteen zooms all the way in to take a real close look at the two “BEASTS”. Call them “BEASTS” if you like, but the first “BEAST” is a system and the second one is an INTITY, or Satan himself! The book of Daniel explains the first “BEAST” or system, a political system, which is coming into being today. This is the “MARK OF THE BEAST” chapter I will be dealing with in my next lesson.

    Chapter fourteen shows you what is to happen on earth while chapter fifteen shows what is to happen in Heaven at the same time.

    Then begins the vials in chapter sixteen, and it zooms all the way to the end to the BATTLE of that GREAT DAY of the LORD, ARMAGEDDON, which simply means the gathering place of the crowd, Satans crowd and his FALLEN ANGELS, or SONS of GOD they are called in Genesis chapter six.

    Chapter seventeen zooms closely on the SYSTEMS of chapter thirteen. It is  dictionary of chapter thirteen.

    Chapter eighteen takes a look at the “GREAT HARLOT”! This is the Christains of the churches and all the people who follow after that “FIRST CHRIST” that comes. The FAKE JESUS with all his great miracles and wonders!

    Then we come to the nineteenth chapter which leads us to the time when the TRUE JESUS CHRIST returns back to this earth as KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS. And He casts the two “BEAST” into the bottomless pit, even before the MILLENNIUM begins! Satan will not be here to interfere with the teachings going on during that time.

    Chapter twenty is the MILLENNIUM. A time when all the people will wake up and find that GOD is not ready to “FRY” anyone just yet! But with love will teach those that were deceived, the ones that followed after the false Christ. Then at the end of this time of teaching we see Satan released for a short time, after being cast into the pit. No evil influence on earth for a thousand years! And then he is to be released for just a short time for more testing for there will still be some who will just not learn even after being taught by CHRIST HIMSELF! There will still be some who follow Satan and will be TURNED TO ASHES along with Satan and his angels. POOF!

    In chapter twenty-one we see the beauty of the eternity.

     In chapter twenty-two we see how it will be in the eternal spiritual life. Then in verse eight, JOHN the writer here, is returned from his vision of the LORDS DAY. Brought back to this earth age of flesh after seeing the unveiling taking place.

    We have followed JOHN spiritually to that day and beyond. Let wisdom come into your mind for you must have the GOSPEL ARMOR of GOD on for the all time BATTLE of THE MINDS. Watch for the signs and seasons so you don’t be “TAKEN” in by the GREAT DECEPTION.
