Until now believers were unable to properly interpret the prophecy of, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, because the covenant message was necessary for its interpretation. Also hindering our ability to correctly interpret this book, was the extraordinary twist that God gave the book: the angels are trying to cause people to die with death. This death is that of laying down one's life and falling on one's face before God, succumbing to his sovereign authority, and ready to do his will. Everyone who dies with this kind of death is ready and willing to overcome the snares of religion. When believers overcome religion, and die with this kind of death, then they are given power to assist the Lord in overthrowing the religions of the world, or, in other words, the nations. “He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him I will give power over the nations (Revelation 2:26).”
To build acceptance for this interpretation, it is necessary to show believers how it can be verified. The Revelation is sealed prophecy, therefore a concordance is necessary. Jesus sayings are the only verses of the book which are not sealed, and they are written in the first chapter of the book, as well as at the end of the book (Revelation 10:4; 22:10). Look up the Greek words in the sealed portions of the Revelation. Use the concordance dictionary and cross reference all the words into which that same Greek word was translated. Then find all of the verses within the book of Revelation that contain that same Greek word: No other books of the bible are necessary, because this amazing book, interprets itself. After you have collected the verses which share a common Greek word, then read through the verses, and pay attention to the wording and the testimony of each individual verse, for those paired together verses serve to interpret one another.
The book of Revelation is our assurance that God will open the doors of the everlasting kingdom, and that once they are opened, no man will shut them. The purpose of this book is to guide the elect through the hour of God's judgment, when God will begin to cause all believers to stand upon covenant understanding (Revelation 14:7). Secured within the parables of The Revelation, is evidence of how God planned to prepare his elect, causing them to be ready to stand against the forces which will try to stop his end time message from going out. Before being able to properly maneuver through that hour, the beast will need to be interpreted, and some of the evidences which God prophesied concerning the preparations which have been taking place upon the earth for the past seven years, will need to be verified, so that believers can weigh all the evidences, and know whether or not they can trust this message.
The twelfth chapter of the Revelation depicts a woman travailing in the birth of the covenant message. The vision recorded in this chapter reveals that God graciously prepared two wings of an eagle to nourish the travailing woman, until the times were fulfilled (Revelation 12:14). Those two wings of an eagle were that of a priest and a prophet which took the time to discretely pay attention to her message. The priest and prophet nourished the woman by using her teachings in a conformable way. She heard as her words came forth from the mouths of priests, and she knew that it was good. This encouraged the woman's heart and it nourished her, for it kept her from aborting the message.
The quarrel against the woman is that God has shown her, scripturally, and with evidence, that he has been accepting faithful Muslims, as well as Jews and Christians, into his everlasting habitations. Those that are appalled by this truth need to stop and study the parable which is found in the twelfth chapter of, The Revelation. In this parable, Michael, who is the archangel of Islam, battles against the dragon, and the dragon is cast out of heaven. This scenario is verifiable evidence and proof that Michael and Islam, are alive and well, and in heaven (Daniel 10:13; Revelation 12:7-9). Yet, for all the evidences which God has revealed unto Christianity through the woman's message, Christianity has continued to remain obstinate. It is utterly inconceivable that decades of renown religious greats could have overlooked the truths that God has reserved for the end times. Consequently, Christian priests have arrogantly spewed religious disdain at the woman. Yet, it is written that the woman, and all those that believe like her, “Keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Revelation 12:17).” But don't take my word for it, look up the vision for yourselves, and witness the powerful evidence (Revelation chapter 12).
The thirteenth chapter of The Revelation publishes news about the priest and prophet which picked up on the woman's message. The priest came up out of earth, which allows that the covenant message had cast him out of heaven. He was inspired to start an organization for Christian priests. He recruited a prophet for leading the group, and discretely shared the covenant mystery with him. They both feared the covenant message, and they started a ministry for Christian priests: a ministry which was, and is, purposed to refresh the Christian priesthood, and to inspire them to work together for the cause of Christ. Their ministry became the image of what Christianity ought to be. Priests received power in the Holy Spirit after spending just one hour listening to their messages. Their teachings have strengthened the face of Christianity, however their teachings are prejudiced and biased, and therefore their followers are being deceived by the image of the beast. In other words, the words "image of the beast" pertain to an inspired form of Christianity, which regardless of its apparent worldly success, is simply another form of religion. The followers of this inspiring new doctrine are utterly convinced that salvation is based upon trusting in the law of one specific scripture verse, whereas God's word testifies that salvation is based upon doing the words of the covenant that God has made, and given unto his people (Psalm 25:10; 25:14).
Also in the vision of the thirteenth chapter, a prophet rose up out of the sea when he read the covenant message, which allows that he was an unsaved soul until the day that he read the message. He was wounded by the sword, or in other words, by the truth of the message, nearly to death, but he lived which isn’t good when the objective of the book is death. This prophet has been deceiving his followers: for he tapped into the counsel of the covenant message, but he changed and omitted the things which were offensive, and which conflicted with the core beliefs of Christianity. “There was given unto him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty two months (Revelation 13:5).” He is the false prophet of The Revelation, and he has impressed the world with his teachings. Satan gave him his power, his seat, and his great authority, and he has had the power to overcome saints, but his power was only for a limited time, and that time is up.
“He causeth all… to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads (Revelation 13:16).” If you are expecting to see some sort of a literal mark being forcibly put upon men, be aware that sealed prophecy is cleverly worded. Bear in mind that God always has spiritual implications for his word, as well as literal implications. It is important to consider that this mark is a spiritual mark which can only be seen by God. People who sell and promote religion's laws already have the name of blasphemy spiritually written in their foreheads, or in their hands (Revelation 13:1; 17:5). Likewise, believers who buy the truth of God’s word, already have God's name spiritually written in their foreheads: according to the fourteenth chapter of the Revelation, God's name is already appearing in the foreheads of believers that are standing upon mount Sion (Revelation 14:1). Go ahead and count the number of beasts, but don’t be deceived by that number. The Greek letters which were famously translated into the numerals “six hundred three score and six,” were also translated into the word, “hundred,” and the one and only verse which is paired together with the infamous "six hundred three score and six" prophecy, is a verse which surmises the amount of space that it will take for God to correct the mindset of a multitude (Revelation 14:20). This clue insinuates that the number 666 stands for the many multitudes of believers which are currently being deceived by religion.
Now, about that beast with its seven heads and its ten horns: That beast is religion, and the conglomeration of the elect which are continuing to practice it (Revelation 17:3). There are seven spirits within the beast, which allows for its seven heads. In other words, each head represents one of seven different groups of like minded believers. Four of the beast's heads are the four cherubim which are in heaven: Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the priesthood. Most believers within these four groups are utterly unaware of the covenant message, and of how scripture testifies that God will convert the heart of every believer, and give them one way to serve him forevermore. Worshipping the beast means that people are worshipping religion, and this happens because believers are accepting the teachings of either man or tradition, and they are bowing themselves down, and considering those teachings to be infallible, and unchangeable. “They have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast (Revelation 14:11).” “The four beasts… rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come (Revelation 4:8).”
Two of the heads upon the beast pertain to the priesthood. The group is divided based upon whether or not priests have heard the covenant message. Priests which have heard the covenant message, and have believed and confessed it, are no longer taking part in the conglomeration, but every priest that has heard, and has continued to teach and uphold religion's laws, has his part in the group which is called, Satan. Satan is the fifth head upon the beast. After believers can discern the parable meanings for these five heads, then God provided a riddle which offers clues regarding the final two heads: the four cherubim and Satan are the five kings which have fallen: “There are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come (Revelation 17:10).” The two remaining heads upon the beast, are: the elders and the dictates of religion, which are now, and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, which is to come.
The ten horns upon the beast challenge believers to discover a couple of reasons why kings have remained upon the beast. The easiest way to discern an answer to this question, is to break the conglomeration apart, and study just one of its heads. In the thirteenth chapter of the book John saw a beast coming up out of the earth having two horns like a lamb, and speaking like a dragon (Revelation 13:11). A reference to the lamb indicates that this is a group of people which know the teachings of Jesus Christ. A reference to the dragon insinuates that this is a group of priests which have heard the covenant message. In other words, this is Satan, because Satan's name in prophecy represents priests which have heard the covenant message, but have not confessed it. The two horns upon Satan's head imply that there are two reasons why priests which have heard the covenant message, have continued to remain upon the beast: Some of them believed the truth of the message but they haven’t performed any kingdom works, and the rest of them despised the message.
Satan has two horns, but remember there are a total of ten horns upon the beast's seven heads, so while three of its heads have two horns apiece, the four remaining heads only have one horn each. The people that are partaking in the four groups which have one horn apiece, are unfamiliar Jesus' teachings, with one exception: One of its heads consists of likeminded believers which already know and believe the covenant message, and these people are familiar with Jesus' teachings, but they are not following God's instructions, and they are not doing the things which are necessary for the advancement of his end time message. The people that are partaking in the three groups which have two horns apiece, are familiar with Jesus' teachings: their second horn represents members which despise the newly revealed truth of prophecy. An accounting of the ten horns would include: One horn apiece upon the head's of: Islam, Judaism, the uninformed priesthood, and the Lion of the tribe of Judah; and two horns apiece for Christianity, Satan, and the elders. Scripture concludes that God has put it in the hearts of all seven of these kings to pursue their own religious ways until the times of the end are fulfilled (Revelation 17:17).
Our rewards are according to what our works for the everlasting kingdom, shall be: wherefore each of these kings is credited with receiving a crown (Revelation 13:1; 22:12). “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life (Revelation 2:10).” “Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown (Revelation 3:11).”
In the seventeenth chapter of the book, it is written that John saw this beast with its seven heads and the ten horns, and it was carrying a great whore. The great whore represents the many likeminded prophets which serve religion, and which rule over the priests of earth: collectively they are Babylon. “The woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth (Revelation 17:18).” She wears the mark of blasphemy upon her forehead, and she holds evidence of God’s wrath in her hands. Since these prophets have been silencing incriminating evidence, they are, unwittingly, allowing their followers to suffer the plagues of God. “She made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication (Revelation 14:8).” This whore has had the privilege of preparing the scripts for the priesthood, and the priesthood gave her this power. “How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously… for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow (Revelation 18:7).” "The ten horns... are ten kings... These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (Revelation 17:12-13)." Currently, priests who are accepting and using the teachings of these prophets, have had great respect for them, but when God brings about the curse, then all people will hear that these prophets have been withholding the truth, and they will be mad. “The ten horns shall hate the whore… and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire (Revelation 17:16).”
The fate of the false prophet, as well as the beast, is to be cast alive into the Lake of fire. The Lake of fire is the second death, and it is the travail of everyone that goes against the ways of the Lord (Revelation 21:8). "The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet... both these were cast alive into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20)." God will use the Lake of fire for his glory: it is the way in which God will correct the deceived. The effects of the Lake of fire will begin to be felt after the time of the first resurrection. "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power (Revelation 20:6)." In other words, the people who take part in the first resurrection by preforming a work, or works, which help to spread God's end time message, are blessed: God will not curse them, neither will he withdraw his Holy Spirit from them, and the noisome pestilence will not torment them. Their works are awakening the backslidden, as well as some people which have always been spiritually dead. These servants are blessed: They have nothing to fear in the travail of the second death. “He that overcometh shall not be hurt in the second death (Revelation 2:11).”
“The Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful (Revelation 17:14).” The figurative Lamb not only represents believers that know Jesus' teachings, but it also represents the many likeminded people that are actively working to bring others into covenant understanding. They sit upon the throne with Jesus. “To him who overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne (Revelation 3:21).” “The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters (Revelation 7:17).”
The elect have had three and a half years to prepare one hundred and forty four thousand believers, including believers of every nation, and in every religious denomination, to heed the voice of the Lord (Revelation chapter seven). This counsel was to be revealed, and released when those days were accomplished. The Revelation is our guide for that hour when God brings about the curse, and causes his people to stand upon covenant understanding.
The eighth chapter of The Revelation depicts the solemn moments which precede that hour. “When he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour (Revelation 8:1).” After decades of anticipation, and seven years of travail, The Revelation is finally opened, and the covenant message has prevailed! The one hundred and forty four thousand elect are standing within the temple, along with the seven spirits of God, and everyone of them is given a white robe (Revelation 6:11; 15:6). Their sayings and doings are recorded in the nineteenth chapter of the book: “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready (Revelation 19:7).” In other words, this is the portion of the prophecy which identifies that converted believers of every religious denomination, and every nation, will stand up together in agreement on that day, having received an accurate understanding of God's prophetic, end time plan!
“I saw the seven angels which stood before God… and another angel came and stood at the altar (Revelation 8:2-3).” Priests which believed the message and overcame religion, have power over fire, and they stand at the altar ready to do works for the Lord (Revelation 13:13; 16:8). They pray for the saints, and then they take a censer, and they fill it with fire. They are ready to teach the truth of God's end time message unto their congregations: their work is purposed for the advancement of the kingdom, however they do realize that when the truth of God's message is taught, the passions of many believers will be set on fire. “There were voices, and thunderings, and lightenings, and an earthquake (Revelation 8:5).”
There are seven angels, and each of them has a trumpet in his hand for sounding the warnings of the plagues. Upon exiting the temple they are each given a vial of God’s wrath to be poured upon earth. These things are in their hands at the same time, signifying that the vials and the plagues agree, and that they will work together to interpret that hour (Revelation 15:6-7). A record which verifies the angels’ sayings and doings is recorded in the fourteenth chapter of the book. The details in this chapter form an outline of the hour of God's curse. The events of the hour will happen in accordance this outline, for it is the predetermined order which has been established by God. Additional details concerning the events of that hour are randomly scattered throughout the book in the various depictions which John saw. When the angels exit the temple, scripture affirms that the temple's doors will be closed: this insinuates that once the plagues begin, every unsaved person will stay in their saved state, until after all seven of the plagues has been fulfilled. "No man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled (Revelation 15:8)."
Angel Number One:
“I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth… saying… Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come (Revelation 14:6-7).” The first angels are messengers who believe the truth of the covenant message: they are warning others, and telling them to study the interpretation of The Revelation. The Lord considers their speaking out, as doing a work for him, and their work for him, as the pouring out of their own blood, the blood of sacrifice, upon the earth. When God's messengers do these works for his kingdom, then every Christian priest who has ignored the newly revealed truths of prophecy, will be afflicted. “The first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image (Revelation 16:2).”
“The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast into earth: and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up (Revelation 8:7).” By reason of their grievous sores, negligent priests were cast out of their heavenly perceived perfection. Hail means that they will be pounded with the truth of God’s word. Fire is the spoken word, purifying them, and burning up their former works. Specifying that all of the grass and some of the trees are being “burnt up,” means that people who were guilty of living unto themselves, are dying with death; and that presence of blood is evidence of their renewed resolve to do God’s will.
A scene celebrating the feat of the first angels is found in the nineteenth chapter. “I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11).” Jesus’ new name is written upon them: “King of kings, and Lord of lords”, and they are called “The Word of God” (Revelation 3:12; 19:13; 19:16). Out of their mouth comes the message which is destined to smite the nations. “Out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron (Revelation 19:15).” The power to rule with a rod of iron is prophesied unto priests which were birthed from the covenant message, as well as to other believers which have overcome religion (Revelation 2:26-27; 12:5). Having the ability to “slay with the sword” means that these believers have the ability, and the power to cause people to die with death, because they are teaching them the true interpretations of God's word.
Angel Number Two:
“There followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city (Revelation 14:8).” The second angels are the priests whose testimonies came about because of their affliction. Their voices signify the end of religion, as well as the end of the reign of the false prophets. “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird (Revelation 18:2).”
When their voices are heard, then the Christian priests which escaped the first pestilence, but didn’t change or correct their religious beliefs, will loose the Holy Spirit. In prophecy, the word "sea" is a parable word which represents the dwelling place of every person who is without the Holy Spirit. “The second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood (Revelation 8:8).” Christianity, as we know it, will be cast out of the Lord’s presence. Nevertheless, that horrific amount of blood verifies that many righteous works will result from this plague. “The second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea (Revelation 16:3).” The living soul’s which are dying in the sea, are believers which are dying to their own vanities: for they have lost the Holy Spirit, they are giving themselves over unto the purposes of the Lord.
Angel Number Three:
A scene depicting the third angel is recorded in the eleventh chapter. The message of this chapter concerns two olive trees, and their churches. The two olive trees represent two groups of likeminded believers, and they are called witnesses, because they have witnessed the birth of the covenant message. They are believers of the Islamic and Jewish nations, which have prophesied, and which have worked diligently to strengthen their people over the past forty two months. When the third angels see all of the evidence, and they hear some of the testimonies, then they will rise up in agreement with the Lord, and they will receive his Holy Spirit. “They of the people… shall see their dead bodies three days and a half… After three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet… and they ascended up to heaven in a cloud (Revelation 11:9-12).”
These witnesses are exposing their nations to the truth about Jesus Christ, as well as religion, and they are warning them of the plagues. “The third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God… and be tormented with fire and brimestone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.” (Revelation 14:9-10).
“Waters” represent teachings; and these witnesses “have power over the waters to turn them to blood (Revelation 11:6).” “The third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood (Revelation 16:4).” Verses which pertain to the third angels suggest that God will give these messengers a supernatural ability to teach their nations the truth of his word. “The third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter (Revelation 8:10-11).” God prophesied that he would feed the people with wormwood (Jeremiah 9:15; 23:15). Wormwood is the name that God has given unto teachings that will cause mighty men to cry most bitterly. The past cannot be changed: but the good news is that believers who are drinking the wormwood are dying with death, for they are crying out unto God, and they are cleaving to him (Revelation 10:9).
When the third angel's pour out their blood, then God will pour out another abhorring affliction for the purpose of correcting the mindset of Jewish and Islamic religious leaders that are refusing to yield to his instructions. “I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus (Revelation 16:5).”
Angel Number four:
According to the outline of the hour, the fourth angels are depicted as, hesitating: “I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap (Revelation 14:14-15).” The fourth angels are the prophets which have been working with the covenant message. They have been waiting for God's signs and wonders: they wanted to see evidence of God's intervention, because they feared the ramifications of speaking the truth without it.
A scene depicting the forth angels is recorded in the tenth chapter. They are “The Lion of the tribe of Judah,” their roars laud their new name. “I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven… his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: He had in his hand a little book open: he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices (Revelation 10:1-3).” Holding the open book of The Revelation in their hand is evidence of their new name. "The Lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof (Revelation 5:5)." These prophets are clothed with the word of God, their faces are shining with the light of Christ, and their feet are as pillars in the temple of God (Revelation 1:16; 3:12). They cry mightily unto the priesthood, as well as to the deceived prophets, that it's time to perform the will of the Lord.
“The fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise (Revelation 8:12).” The words sun, moon, and stars are all parable words which depict priests, prophets, and other believers that have the light of God’s truth in them. Smiting is gain for the kingdom, and the words “darkened” and “the day shone not” attest to their prevailing success at humbling one third of the priesthood, and its followers: New Jerusalem has no need of sun. Yet despite all of God's marvelous signs, two thirds of his people remain unconvinced, wherefore their lights are continuing to shine. “The fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun, and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory (Revelation 16:8-9)." This verse identifies that unconvinced leaders who haven't died with death, will be uttering lies and speaking blasphemies against the Lord. Although the sun's scorching ability might burn up some dead works, it is never going to encourage believers to lay down their lives and die with death, which needs to be done in order to inherit the promises of the everlasting kingdom.
Angel Number Five:
The fifth angels are the priests which believed the prophets and proceeded to teach their churches the covenant message. They are doing their part to release the prisoners of religion. “The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit, and he opened the bottomless pit… There came out of the smoke locusts upon earth: and to them was given power as scorpions of the earth have power (Revelation 9:1-3).” The pit housed the deceived, and smoke eludes to their confusion. The locusts that come up out of the pit have crowns upon their heads, teeth reminiscent of the lions, and wings like the cherubim: they are prepared to fight in this battle. The king which is over them is their priest, and they are commanded not to kill, but their power is to torment men for five months. Tormenting describes their continual work of correcting the deceived (Revelation 9:3-6).
When priests rise up and deliver the covenant message to their staff and elders, as well as their congregation, then every person that rises up to fight against them will be taken by the plagues. The very words “seat of the beast,” implicate the elders: “The fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds (Revelation 16:10-11).” The all-telling words, "his kingdom," specify that the effects of this devastating plague are coming upon the kingdom of religion. The words "repented not of their deeds," indicate that these believers have not died with death, and so the logical conclusion is that the pain of this unbearable darkness pertains to the loss of the Holy Spirit. In effect, this verse is implying that when people learn the truth, many of them will be slow to turn from their religious beliefs.
Prophecies which confirm that Satan’s angels will be cast out of heaven, are fulfilled when the offended have left the building. A scene depicting their eviction is written in the fourteenth chapter: “The angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. The winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horses bridles (Revelation 14:19-20).” The winepress is a place of public correction, and it is somewhere outside, and apart from the faithful church. “For without are dogs… and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie (Revelation 22:15).” Here again, that blood which is coming out of the winepress, is an insinuation that righteous works have resulted from the plagues.
Angle Number Six:
“The sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice… saying to the sixth angel… Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared… for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them (Revelation 9:13-16).” The sixth angels are the believers which are going forth, and taking God's word out of the sanctuary, and bringing it into all the world. They are God's imperfect priests, paired together with God’s imperfect armies, and they are taking the message of God's new covenant into all the earth.
When the sixth angel sounds his message, then the truth about God's end time plan will be flowing freely out of the sanctuary, and religion's mistakes will be revealed. “The sixth angle poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet (Revelation 16:12-13).”
Angel Number Seven:
The seventh angels are the voices of the elders and dictates, as they bow themselves in agreement with God, and with his word. “The seventh angle sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying. The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. The four and twenty elders, which sat before God upon their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned (Revelation 11:15-17).”
“The seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done (Revelation 16:17).” The hour of God's judgment will forever open of the doors of the everlasting kingdom, and religion's power will be destroyed, and every end time prophecy of scripture will be fulfilled. “There were voices, and thunders, and lightenings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell (Revelation 16:18-19).”
On the backside:
One final “woe” is prophesied in the book of the Revelation, and it is prophesied "on the backside (Revelation 5:1)." This scene is depicted in the twentieth chapter of the book. Consider this: for some time now prophets have had the keys to the bottomless pit, however in accordance with God’s word, the elect were given time to prepare, and Satan was shut up. The Christian priesthood, was, in effect, instructed to silence the religious accusations which they were touting against one another, and they were informed that they should work together for the cause of Christ. According to the twentieth chapter of the Revelation, the priests that abided by these instructions were awarded one thousand years to live and reign with Christ. But in God's eyes one thousand years is as a day, and it is prophesied that the one thousand years will expire (Revelation 20:7). God's purpose for the covenant message was to prepare the priesthood for end times, but some priests are failing to prepare their hearts for the overturning of religion's laws. Even unwittingly, deception is gathering these priests together, and it is causing them to make preparations to come against God’s messengers. “I saw the beast, and the kings of earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him which sat on the horse, and against his army (Revelation 19:19).”
Wise leaders who have studied to know the truth concerning end times, will try to divert this catastrophe, but religion's deception is a hard thing to overcome. “When the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations… to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea (Revelation 20:7-8).” Everyone that comes against God’s people will be afflicted with sores, and they will be cast into the lake of fire. “They went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. The devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimestone, where the beast and false prophet are (Revelation 20:9-10).” This catastrophic event will take place at the conclusion of the hour of God's judgment, when the temple's doors have been reopened (Revelation 16:16-17).
This significant event is referred to as the "white throne judgment," as well as "the time of the dead." When the temple's doors are reopened, and believers who that have “died with death” are celebrating God's victory, then the devout people that refused to heed God's instructions will be filled with envy, and malice. "The nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead (Revelation 11:18)." "I saw the great white throne... and I saw the dead... stand before God (Revelation 20:11)." "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city (Revelation 22:14)." So, while the righteous are being blessed with gifts of eternal life, the envious and unbelieving will be setting themselves up for affliction, and to be cast into the Lake of fire (Revelation 20:14; 21:8). "There shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie (Revelation 21:27)."
“The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth (Psalms 58:10-11).”
In conclusion, The Revelation is a magnificent orchestration of the Lord, and it is an irreplaceable guide for the elect: the message of this book serves to confirm and establish all of the other interpretations of prophecy. “The spirit and the bride say, Come. Let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely (Revelation 22:17).” This irreplaceable guide contains truths which are necessary for end times, therefore Jesus prophesied a warning against arbitrarily changing the book’s interpretation: “I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book (Revelation 22:18-19).”
