Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:

Revelation = (apokalupsis) To reveal, make known. God intends for these things to be "made known" in the days of the last generation. He expects you to know this Book.

God = (theos) the revealed God.

servants = (doulos) bondservant, slave.

shortly come to pass = why is this? Look at where John is taken to in verse 10.

John = YHVH-favored (translated into Hebrew).

Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

record = witness. I.e because he saw it

the Word of God = (logos) the Word of God (spoken, as a means or instrument, not as a product).

testimony = witness.

and... = Not merely "heard", but saw.

The only way John could have seen these prophecies would have been for God to take John forward to see them (obviously).

Rev 1:3 Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand.

Blessed = (makarios) happy (peace of mind). First of 7 Occurrences in Rev. See Biblical Numerics on the number 7.

hear = understand (not just hear - but mull over and think hard upon to understanding).

prophecy = Occurs 7 times in Rev.

those = the.

therein = (en) in it (in the Word of God).

time = (karios) the season (limited period of time). See Parable of the Fig Tree in Matt 13.

The time is at hand because John is there to see the events at the end time (future to us).

Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

seven = i.e. spiritual completeness. See Genesis- Revelation.

churches = (ekklesia) assemblies, gathering of called-out ones. Are you called out? Or are you playing "religion"?

Him...come = Greek paraphrase of YHVH (I AM). See The Names of God.

Spirits = (pneuma) spirit-beings.

The 7 churches are in a circle (full completeness-the full circle). Insomuch as the 7 categories of Gen 1 are needed for the completion of the flesh age.

Asia = The term "Asia" did not mean in the first century what it does now, but only the Roman province called Asia, of which Ephesus was the capital. All the seven churches are in that province.

Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

faithful witness = See Is 55.4 .

witness = (martus) See Rev 3.14 .

First begotten = See Ps 2.7 , Rom 8.29 , Heb 1.6 , Acts 13.33 , 1Cor 15.20, Col 1.18 .

Prince = Ruler. See Ps 89.27 ,Ps 37, John 12.31 .

kings... = Elect and Kings of the nations. See 6.15 . See Elect. See Rev 21.24 .

washed = loosed.

in = by.

of the dead = of the dead (bodies).

He was the first one resurrected, all others followed that were sleeping. (1Thess4 - "where are the dead")

Rev 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

hath = *omit*.

kings and priests = (to be) a kingdom and (to be) priests. See Rev 5.10 , 20.6 , Ex 19.6 The priesthood (theocracy) does not begin upon this earth until the Millennium age. See Millennium.

and = *omit*.

glory = the glory.

dominion = the dominion.

for ever and ever = (eis tous aionas ton aionon) to the ages of the ages. See Three World Eons.

Amen = (even the) Amen, the Truth. See Rev 3.14 .

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

with = in company with.

clouds = (fig.) a group, army. See Heb 12.1 . This is the army of God.

eye = (fig) person. Every being who has ever existed shall see Him (no more faith when seen).

they... = Who are these? See Zach 12.10 .

kindreds = (phulo) tribes. See Matt 19.28 . All races created in Gen 1:27 as well.

wail = to mourn. Why are they (all the world) mourning? Maybe because they thought Christ was already there? They just realized they were worshipping the wrong "Jesus". See Rapture: The Lie.

pierced = See John 19.34. See Gen 3:15. Could this be the head-crushing blow mentioned in Genesis? (yes)

Amen = truly.

They are mourning because they have been caught worshipping the Antichrist. See Antichrist. See Matt 24.29-30 :9 .

Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Alpha and Omega = The Alpha and the Omega. "I am the first (alpha) to the last letter (omega) of this Word." See John 1.1 , Rev 22.13 .

the...ending = *omit*.

Lord = the Lord God (YHVH Elohim).

Which...come = YHVH. See The Names of God.

Almighty = the Creator of all. Occ 9 times in Rev, 10 in N.T. ( 2 Cor 6.18 ).

Rev 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

who also am = *omit*.

companion = partaker. Why? Because he has been taken forward in time to be there!

tribulation =the tribulation (of the end days). That is what this Book is about.

patience = Occ 7 times in Rev. (See Luke 21.19 , 2Thess 3.5 ).

of = (en) in.

was = came to be.

Patmos = an island in the Aegean, about 30 SW of Samos. "I came to be in this place".

He is a partaker of the tribulation of Antichrist because he sees it; he was taken to see it. See Rev 7.14 , Act 14.22 . The kingdom does not occur until after the tribulation of Antichrist.

for the word of God. = Banished on account of preaching the word of God to a forsaken place.

Patmos is a rocky sparsely settled island some ten miles long and half that wide, one of the Sporades group in the Aegean Sea, south of Miletus.

Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

was = came to be.

in = (en) with.

Spirit = (pneuma) The Holy Spirit (i.e. God). God took him from Patmos into the future to see the final days.

the Lord's Day = the day of the Lord. The final day of this flesh age.

trumpet = a call to action.

The Lord's day is the Day of the Lord. Do not make the common mistake and confuse this with our Sunday, Saturday, etc. This refers to the time frame that God brings down judgment on this world (God's Tribulation). For documentation, study Is 2.12 , Zeph 1.14-18 , I Thes 5.2, 2Thess 2.2 , 2 Pet 3.10 . See also Rev 6.17. John was brought forward in time to witness this book of Revelation occur during the time frame of the 2nd advent of Christ and to make record of it. Compare to Rev 1:1,2,3 and 7 .

Rev 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

I am...last = *omit*.

book = roll, scroll. (This Book is the Word of God)

Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

voice = fig. The Speaker.

being = having.

candlesticks = lampstands A symbol for "church". Occurs 7 times in Rev. God uses symbolism.

God is telling you "I use symbology to convey My message in this book!"

Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

son of man = See Names of God study.

paps = breasts.

Christ in the midst (center) of the 7 churches.

golden girdle = because His works are as of gold. See Garments.

Like the Son of man. A term used in Dan 7:13 and applied by the Saviour to Himself, but never applied to him by the NT writers except here, Re 14:14 Acts7:56

A garment down to the foot = The long robe of a high priest girt about with the golden girdle of a king. Christ fulfilling the "High Priest" line and "King" line by Blood of Israel (and thus the world in death).

Rev 1:14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;

His head = and His head.

like = as. See Ezek 1.7 , Dan 7.9;10.6 , Deut 4.24 , Heb 12.29.

and his hairs = Dan7:9, Matt 28:3

and his eyes = Rev 2:18 19:12 Da 10:6

snow = i.e. symbol for purity. The pure Lamb of God. The pure sacrifice for man's sin.

fire = i.e. symbol for truth. See Fire.

His head and [his] hair [were] white = White is the colour of purity and of triumph. The idea here is not age but heavenly glory.

His eyes [were] as a flame of fire = Bright, piercing, all seeing, flashing light, and also a consuming fire of the wicked.

Jesus is here described in language largely from Dan7:9.

Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

brass = See Rev 2.18 .

as..burned = as glowing.

voice...waters = See Eze 1.24, 43.2 .

furnace = purified. Matt 13.42;50; Rev 9.2 .

Feet like fine brass = Shedding forth splendour like burnished brass heated in a furnace. The foundation is pure and perfectly refined.

[Rev 1:16] And he had in his right hand seven stars*: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

stars = symbol for angelic beings (spirit-beings). See verse 20. God is using symbology. See The Stars.

out...sword = i.e. symbol for the sharp hidden truth of God's Word that cuts both ways. See Ps 55.21 , 57.4 , 59.7 , Isa 11.4 , 49.2 , 2Thess 2.8 , Rev 2.12;16; 19.15;21, Luke 19.27 , Heb 4.12 .

sword = (rhomphaia) Occurs 7 times in N.T., with 6 of those times in Rev.

God uses symbology in this book - a fact. Make sure you know the symbols so you don't have to speculate.

[Rev 1:17] And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead*. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me*, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

dead = one dead.

unto me = *omit*.

Rev 1:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

I...liveth = and the Living One.

and = and yet.

was = became.

for evermore = to the ages for the ages. See verse 6. All 3 world ages. See eons study.

hell = (hades) grave, the state of flesh death.

keys = See The Keys. The keys needed to unlock Gods Word. Understanding the Kenites and The 3 eons.

I am alive = Living am I.

Amen = *omit*.

Not only a victory over death, but the very gates of death and Hades are under his control. Hence he can deliver from the dead whom he will.

Rev 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

Write = therefore, write.

the...are = i.e. what they symbolize.

shall be = are about to happen. Why? Because John was taken forward in time to the end days concerning the events around the 2nd advent. Don't let some "teacher" tell you that this was the little "sack" of Jerusalem. Jesus said "not one stone shall stand atop another" in Matt24 (ie. disintegration of Jerusalem) - and we still have the Wailing Wall still standing in Jerusalem! This statement by Jesus was NOT a figure of speech, not is there any justification to say that it is.

hereafter = after these things.

Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

mystery = secret symbol (of friends). Do you know the secret symbols? Or are you postulating them yourself?

stars =(aster) Occurs 14 times in Rev.

are = symbolize.

which thou sawest = *omit*.

God uses symbology - know the symbols, and understand the book (otherwise you are not going to understand the book).

See Matt 13:11 Luke 8:10 Zec 4:2 Matt 5:15,16 Php 2:15,16 1Tim3:14-16

Rev 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

Ephesus = Near the sea on the river Cayster, the foremost city of Asia Minor, the temple-keeper of Artemis and her wonderful temple ( Acts 19:35 ), the home of the magic arts (Ephesian letters, Acts 19:19 ) and of the mystery-cults, place of Paul's three years' stay ( Acts 19:1-10; 20:17-38 ), where Aquila and Priscilla and Apollos laboured ( Acts 18:24-28 ), where Timothy wrought (I and II Tim.), where the Apostle John preached in his old age. Surely it was a place of great privilege, of great preaching. It was about sixty miles from Patmos and the messenger would reach Ephesus first. It is a free city, a seat of proconsular government ( Acts 19:38 ), the end of the great road from the Euphrates. The port was a place of shifting sands, due to the silting up of the mouth of the Cayster. Ramsay (Letters to the Seven Churches, p. 210) calls it "the City of Change."

From the above analysis of the area of Ephasus, we see that this church leadership has the following characteristics: Incorporates some "magic arts" (i.e. foreign religion to God's Word, traditions of men), "great preaching". This church really had some good superpreachers blasting away! "Great privilege" obviously very popular in the communities and esteemed highly by men (not by God). "change" The Christianity taught here seemed to change with the times (ps: God never changes - this is not a good thing). The preachers here taught maybe one or two verses and then talked for 30 minutes about there uncle Ed. The problem is that they didn't teach God's Word to the people - they were starving the sheep.

Rev 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

This is a patient church and does have a little truth because this church is able to "test" some fake Christians (fake apostles) and found them liars (i.e. the fake apostles supposedly "serving God" didn't know God's Word).

Rev 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

This church worked hard in the community, helped physically feed hungry, help the financially poor.

So what is the problem here?

Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Here is the problem. What is the first love? What is your first priority? It should be pleasing God (Christ). You see this Church with all of its goodness ultimately committed adultery against Christ in the end. Why? They didn't teach the people to be prepared for the fake Christ and they were taken spiritually by that adulterer. They didn't teach the people the "keys" that open God's Word (probably because that would be to "controversial" for the congregation). What keys are these? Teach a understanding of the Kenites and 3 World ages to allow the Truth of God to flow. The people in this church are headed straight for Antichrist - don't be in this church, make sure you understand this book of Revelation.

Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

To repent is to change the mind towards a thing. The leadership of this church had better change the direction or Christ Himself will remove them permanently.

Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

This church has one thing that Christ approves of - it hates the deeds of the Nicolaitanes. What are these deeds? The Nicolaitanes was a sect that practiced Baal worship (i.e. worshiping false gods). At least this church was not materialistic in nature - it was wholly committed to serving God (unfortunately this Church didn't go very deep into the Word - it was starving the sheep, feeding only milk).

Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

tree of life = see Trees. This tree is Christ, which was the same one in the Garden of Eden. Don't reject this tree for the other tree that is beautiful and wise (Satan). The false tree is located in Ezek 31.

Rev 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

Smyrna = (strengthened, sweet smell) one of two churches found by God to be spotless (the other is the church of Philadelphia). Smyrna was a seaport city about 35 miles North of Ephasus (called Izmur today).

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.

tribulation...poverty = those who teach the real truth are not popular in today's world age.

rich = rich in truth and Godly works.

Jews = a resident of Judea, or one from the tribe of Judah. This church knows who the Kenites are and who their father is. Notice that this is the common trait of the two churches that are unscathed by God. Philadelphia knows who the Kenties are as well (Rev 3:9) - do you?

Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Notice that this church that Jesus does not criticize does go through the tribulation - not "fly away". This church will be tested by Satan as Daniel was for "ten days" in Dan 1:12 by Nebuchadnezzar. How was Daniel tested? You should go there and check out how this church is tested. What is this prison? Its the tribulation of "fake jesus". See the study on Antichrist.

Rev 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

He that ... = i.e. Who God allows understanding to. God is in control. Used by Christ when calling His own to understand parables.

second death = the destruction of the soul (Rev 20:14) at the great White Throne Judgment at the end of the Millennium. See Millennium.

Rev 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

Pergamos = (fortified, castle, tower). 45 North of Smyrna, had one of the finest libraries of ancient books. Famous for the worship of AEsculapius, for whom the title of soter (saviour) was given and had the emblem of the serpent. Identified to the god Apollo.

sword...= the Sword of the Lord that cuts both ways. It proceeds from Christ's mouth for it is the Word of God (Rev1:16).

Rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

Satan's seat = i.e. the "religious" seat.

Antipas = means "anti-father". I.e. those against the Father (God).

This church loves the name of Jesus and knows that Satan is very religious. This church knows that the Roman Gods are false.

Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

God has problems with this Church however.

Balaam = i.e. the way of Baalim in 2 Pet 2:15. This is a materialistic church, with materialistic doctrine. There is nothing wrong with the blessings of God, but the creation became the worship of this church and the doctrine of God got lost. This church does not know the Kenites, Three eons, inner Truths of God's Word that lead to a defence against "fake jesus".

stumblingblock = the duplicate false christ is the stumblingblock.

fornication = they commit adultery against Christ (apostasy) by running to the false christ too early. See Matt 24:19. Make sure when you go to the wedding of Christ that you don't marry early with a false god and show up with a child at the wedding!

Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

See Rev 2:6.

Rev 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Repent = change your mindset. Get away from the traditions of man and into God's Word and then the blessings will flow anyway. Jesus will destroy this church unless it changes its mindset (priorities).

Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].

overcometh = i.e. stays with the true Christ through the tribulation of "fake miracle Jesus".

manna = the same manna that Israel received while in the wilderness. God fed them. What is the manna of the end days? The same latter day rain for those during the famine/wilderness of Amos 8. The manna is the Word of the Living God. See Deut 32 - the Song of Moses, Joel 2.

white = i.e. symbolic of purity, clean.

stone = "Their rock is not our Rock" (Deut 32) The stone that is the Living God. God is our inheritance (Ezek 44:28). Rev 21:19 - the rocks that make up the Temple of God after the judgment at the end of the Millennium. Do you want a part in the Temple of God?

a new name written = Rev 21:2. A part in that new city Jerusalem when The Father (full Godhead) comes to earth.

no man knoweth = What part will you play in that new city Jerusalem? What rock that makes up the Temple of God, the many-membered body of Christ? Its up to you how your soul plays out.

Rev 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;

Thyatira = a city of trading. Very big wool and dyeing industry. It was about 35 miles SE of Pergamum. See Acts16:14.

eyes...fire = i.e. Jesus' eyes that pierce the soul and see into a man. The Fire of God's Word that refines the metal of a man. See Fire.

brass = refined metal with no fault. Pure.

Rev 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first.

This Church works hard for the community. Lots of charity work, belief in Christ, patient in Christ. Is very community oriented.

Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Oops! We have a problem here with this church. What is it? This church allowed some false teaching of the Word of God and did not recognize it. God's not very happy with this.

Jezebel = the false prophetess/harlot of the people of 1Kings 16, and 2Kings 9. Jezebel means "chaste". Be careful of false prophets that lead to fake Jesus (Matt 24:11).

Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Why is this church not repenting? Because this church does not know that they have a false teacher / prophet! This church thinks it is headed in the right direction! From all physical appearances to a normal man it is! Don't be conned out of your reward by a false prophet - for their are many even now.

Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

What bed is this? The bed of the one-world harlot Babylon of Rev 17:5 made up of the World masses. Don't be a part of this religious system when it arrives. Keep your marriage with Christ and stay a virgin (spiritually) to Him.

Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

This church commits apostasy to God because it had false teachers leading it. If the blind lead the blind they will fall into this ditch. God is personal to you - not just to your minister. God expects you personally to know His Word for He loves you and wrote it to you in love. Don't let Him down by trusting in men.

children = see Matt 24:19. you have lain with the harlot and had kids. How would you like it if you were supposed to marry a beautiful virgin bride and you went off to a far away land and came back a year later and your wife had a kid? God is not pleased with those that spiritually lay with false gods.

Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

There are a few at the church that will not worship false Gods.

Rev 2:25 But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.

I'm returning soon - don't spiritually lay with a false god(s). This is a hard thing in this church due to the lack of Truth taught there. Just salvation (milk, milk, milk) taught here. Just "salvation" will starve the sheep. You need to eat the meat of the Lamb of God to escape the death angel - that is the only way.

Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

What power? The power to overthrow them! The overthrow of the one-world nation (Rev 8:8) when True Christ returns with His army. You can be a part of that army if you are armed with the Truth of God.

Rev 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

Christ will rule with His priestdom during the Millennial age.

Rev 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.

What is this morning star? God is our inheritance to them that overcome! Ezek 44:28.

Rev 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

he...ear = i.e. used of the calling of the Elect. God allow who He will to understand.

Rev 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

angel...church = see Rev1.20 .

Sardis = the ancient capital of Lydia. A very large trading city. Many different religions were mixed in this city. A very luxurious city, with much softness to it. The people were dead (spiritually) to the Truth of God's Word here. The remains of a vast temple to Cybele (the "mother of the gods") still exists. Means "a variety of mystical stones". See the study on Stones.

seven spirits = see Rev1.4 .

know = (oida) to understand. They think they have a "name" or "title" (like a denomination) that will save them, but instead they are, in fact, spiritually dead.

Rev 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

Be = become.

watchful = See Matt 24.42. Be a watchman for God.

the...remain = the remaining (things). Salvage what you can by getting back to the understanding of God's Word

perfect = accomplished.

Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

hold fast = "hold to that truth of God's Word' that you have heard."

on thee = *omit*.

as a thief = See 16.15 , IThess.5.2 , 2Pet3.10. I.e. God will come as a surprise. Why? Because the world will think God is already there! See Antichrist. We do not "watch" for the thief, but rather "wait" for the Lord (because if you know the Truth you are not surprised - or tempted).

Rev 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

Thou = but thou.

even = *omit*.

garments = See study on Garments. What you wear in the Godly Kingdom. Your garment is made up of your righteous acts (works). These are wearing the gospel armor.

white = symbol for purity.

Thou hast a few names = Though the church as a whole is condemned, there were a few true saints who were commended.

Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

white raiment = i.e. symbolic of purity. See Garments.

book = See Phil 4.3. What Book is it? This Book.

but = and.

confess = See Matt 10.32 .

Rev 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

He... = See Matt 11.15 .

Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

Holy = the Holy One. Cp. Hos 11.9 .

key to David = See study on Keys. The key to David is the key to Christ (and the genealogy thereof) and eternal life. What is the key? The in-depth understanding of God's Word.

Philadelphia = (brotherly love) About 30 miles SE of Sardis. This church and Smyrna are the only churches that overcome. See study on Genesis-Revelation. What these two churches have in common is given in 2.9 and 3.9. This church itself was materially poor and was one of the least respected and least popular churches of its area (because it taught the Truth of God's Word - which is not popular). There are some 1,000 Christians there today. Philadelphia still exists in the town called Allahshehr, 'the city of God,' 'a column in a scene of ruins.' It is situated on the slopes of three or four hills, the roots of mount Tmolus, by the river Cogamus.

Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Strength = the works of power (by Christ - they claimed His power).

hast kept = didst keep. They studied and researched the Word (not just read). The reason this Church is unscathed by God. Do you keep God's Word as a number 1 priority?

hast not denied = didst not deny. (was not tempted by fake saviours - see Antichrist) Don't deny Christ by worshipping the false christ that comes first.

My Name = In opposition to confessing the name of the beast (13.17 , 14.9).

I have set before thee an open door. Compare Acts 14:27 1Cor16:9 2Co 2:12 Col 4:3

Thou hast a little strength, and didst keep, etc. Through their numbers/strength was not great, they had remained faithful in much opposition.

Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

will make = give.

synagogue of Satan = See Rev 2.9. The Kenites. You must understand the Kenites. A common item between the 2 churches that were unscathed by God (The other one being Smyrna).

make = compel.

worship = (proskune) i.e. worship God. Occurs 24 times in Rev: 12 times connected with worship of God, 11 times with worship of Satan and the beast, and here. See Biblical Numerics.

have = *omit*.

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

from = (ek) out of.

temptation = (peirasmos) trial, offering. This church will be kept from temptation because they will not find the fake jesus tempting to worship. Many teach that this means that this church will not be here and "raptured" away. Unfortunately this escapist teaching is a lie - see Rapture: the Lie. The fact is that the world will find the fake jesus tempting to worship - like a Chocolate cake is tempting to eat. But if you know the Chocolate cake has been poisoned by an assassin beforehand are you going to be tempted by it? Likewise this analogy applies to fake pre-trib rapture jesus. See Antichrist.

shall = is about to. Why? Because John was taken forward in time - see Rev 1:10.

world = (oikoumen_) the world as inhabited.

try = test. The test of God is Antichrist. Pass the test a get eternal life. Fail the test and you will be taught in the Millennium.

earth = land. Cp. Zeph 1.14-18

Keep them from Satan's temptation due to the fact they will not be tempted (not temptable) because they will find Satan (as fake jesus) disgusting. They will have on the Gospel armor and will not be deceived. Notice that this verse said ALL inhabitants, not just nonbelievers (as some self-righteous rapturists falsely teach). You do not put on Gospel armor to "fly" away - you put on armor to stand and fight. See Rapture: the Big Lie. See Ezek 13:21.

Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Behold = *omit*.

that = in order that.

no man = Satan is a man. Don't let him or any other man fool you out of eternal life and make you earn it during the Millennium. See Rom 8.38,39.

crown = i.e. your righteous acts (such as standing against fake jesus). See study on Garments. Thy crown. Not the crown of royalty (Diadema in the Greek), but the garland crown (Stephanos) given as a reward. The crown of the saints is always the latter, a term, which the Greeks did not apply to the royal crown. Here to take away "thy crown" ( 2:10 ) which will be thine if really won and not forfeited by failure (2Ti 4:8 ). In that case it will go to another (Mt 25:28 , Ro 11:17 ).

Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.

Temple = (naos) sanctuary. See Matt.23.16 .

new Jerusalem = See 21.2,3,10, Ps.48.1,2,8,9, Ezek 48.35 . The New Jerusalem has no temple in it because it is all the Temple of God.

new, new = (kainos) See Matt.9.17 .

heavens = the heavens. See Matt.6.9 .

new name = See 14.1 , 22.4 , Isa.62.2 , 65.15 . Contrast to the name branded on the worshippers of the beast: 13.16 , 14.11 , 19.20 , 20.4 .

pillar = a support. To the firstfruits (See Elect) of this age. They will be ministers in the Millennial temple to Christ. See Millennium. See Ezek44. A term implying strength, permanence and honour. Metaphorical and personal use with a double significance of being firmly fixed and giving stability to the building. Philadelphia was a city of earthquakes. "Temple" (naos) here is also metaphorical (7:15 ), as in 1Ti 3:15 for the people of God. In 21:22 we read that there is no temple in the heavenly Jerusalem( 21:10-22:5 ) descending as the new Jerusalem with God himself as the temple, though the metaphorical temple is mentioned in 7:15 just as the high-priest wore the name of Jehovah upon his forehead ( Ex 28:36,38 ), the new name ( 2:17 ), without any magical or talismanic power, but as proof of ownership by God, as a citizen of the New Jerusalem, with the new symbol of the glorious personality of Christ (Re 19:12), in contrast with the mark of the beast on others (13:17; 14:17). For citizenship in God's city see Ga l4:26; Philp 3:20; Hebrews 11:10; 12:22; 13:14.

Rev 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

See verse 6.

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

of = in.

Laodiceans = means "justice of the people". An important city of Phrygia, a few miles west of Colosse. Rebuilt by Antiochus II, and named after his wife, Laodice. The word Laodicean now means someone who is "lukewarm" or "indifferent". The city of Laodicea was very proud of its wealth in the latter part of the first century, a fact we learn from profane history. The site of the ancient city is uninhabited now, and of course the church has long since ceased to exist. on the great trade-route from Ephesus to the east and seat of large manufacturing and banking operations (especially of woolen carpets and clothing, Ramsay, Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia, p. 40ff.), centre of the worship of Asklepios and seat of a medical school and also of a provincial court where Cicero lived and wrote many of his letters, home of many Jews, called by Ramsay (op. cit., p. 413) "the City of Compromise,"

the Amen = A Hebrew word transliterated. See 2Cor 1.20 . See Rev 1.5 . Means "the Truth" (i.e. God'sWord).

Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

"I would rather that you were something with a little (salt) seasoning , than just a middle-of-the-road limp noodle."

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

will = am about to.

These people will worship fake jesus. God finds people that never take a stand on something controversial (like the Truth) disgusting.

I will spue thee out. Jer 14:19 15:1-4 Zec 11:8,9

Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Rom 7.24 , Hos 2.11 , 5.15 .

Blinded from the truth and naked spiritually of righteous acts. Notice this is a church; this group was suckered in by a false teacher. (rich in goods, destitute in the Truth of God). This church was very popular in the community, however.

Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

This church just teaches salvation and tries no to touch anything too controversial in God's Word - starving the sheep, but very popular (and hence wealthy), in the community at large.

fire = See Fire. God is the Word - study it. He is the fire of truth ( Deut 4.24 ) that burns His enemies, and purifies imperfect metals (people). See Hag 2.8 , Zech 13.9 , Mal 3.3 . The slag falls off. Purity by removing dross ( Ps 66:10 ) like 1Pet 1:7 .

be clothed = clothe thyself. See study on Garments. With the Gospel Armor. The garments in the spiritual body are made up of you righteous acts - if you are saved, but have no righteous acts, then you are spiritually naked. If you are not even saved by Christ you are spiritually dead.

do not appear = be not made manifest.

anoint = Anoint yourself with Christ and His Truth. Put you eyes to the tools to study God's Word in-depth (or is that not your priority?)

White raiment = That they may have the wedding garments. Mt 22:11-13

Eye-salve (kollourion) = name for a famous Phrygian powder for the eyes actually made in Laodicea. (yet they used none of it spiritually - how ironic. Like many Churches today that do not use the Truth that they have because they might "lose some membership").

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

rebuke = (elench) convict.

repent = to change the mind, priority.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

I stand = See 5:2-4 Luke 12:36

I will = John 14:21-23

will sup = Rev 19:9 Luke 12:37 17:8

knock = some people teach the He is knocking 24 hrs a day which is false. It is "when I knock" - i.e. when Christ comes to the door to let His bride in. See the marriage of the Lamb.

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

This passage, in harmony with Luke 1:32,33 Matt 19:28 Acts 2:30,34,35 15:14-16 is conclusive that Christ is not now seated upon His own throne.

To take part of the Government of God in the Millennium, overcome the tribulation of fake jesus.

him = See on ch. Rev 2:7 12:11 1Jo 5:4,5

to sit = Rev 1:6 2:26,27 Mtt 19:28 Luke 22:30 1Cor 6:2,3 2Ti 2:12

even = John 16:33

and am = Rev 5:6-8 7:17 Daniel 7:13,14 Matt 28:18 John 5:22,23 Eph 1:20-23 Philp 2:9-21

Rev 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

See on Rev 2:7,11,17

Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Many people base the rapture in part on the first 2 verses of this chapter - you will see that this is false.

I = i.e. John singular (not the church body). John never is referred to as the church body, nor is there any authority to assume that this singular "I" refers to the "church" instead of John himself. See Rapture: the Big Lie.

this = these things (as in Rev1.19 ).

was opened = i.e. already opened (in heaven, not earth).

This vision is of heaven, not of earth as was true of chapters Rev 1-3. The first vision of Christ and the messages to the seven churches began in 1:12. This vision concerning Heaven (i.e. where God is now).

Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne.

was = became, came to be.

in the spirit = i.e in a spiritual body. See Rev 1:10.

As the vision opens John sees the throne already in place as the first thing in Heaven (where God is now).

Rev 4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

jasper... = sardis stone and jasper stone. Used for stones of different colors, one opaque like opal, one translucent (21:11,18 , possibly here, only N.T. examples), one a red or yellow stone ( Isa 54:12 ). Some even take it for the diamond. Not our cheap modern jasper of today. The jasper and sardine stones are the first and last stones on a priest's breastplate. See Ex.28 17 +. The divine completeness of all things in the priesthood. the qualities of the jasper meant a stone of dazzling brilliancy, a mountain of light, clear as crystal. See Stones.

The stones of the priest's breastplate indicate that this throne was for the King of Priests, which is the Covenant of God, which is the Word of God.

rainbow = (iris) a symbol of God's promise of protection (covenant). See Gen 9.3 , Ezek 1.28

Rev 4:4 And round about the throne [were] four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

seats = thrones. Priestly thrones of the government of God.

24 = 12 apostles, 12 patriarchs. See Biblical Numerics. These 24 are also symbolic of the priesthood courses of 1Chron 24.3-5 .

crowns of gold = because their deeds were gold ( Job 41.27 ).

raiment = See Garments.

white = symbol for purity and righteous acts.

Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

7 = symbol for spiritual completeness. See Biblical Numerics.

The spirit of completeness is the Holy Spirit. Simply put, the Holy Spirit through the angels (God's messengers), which deliver the message to the 7 churches. 7 messages that exactly suit 7 different churches that make up the body of Christ. The churches are not denominations, rather (like Genesis' 7 days) categories that any specific Christian group that can fall into. Messages given in Chap 2 and 3.

Rev 4:6 And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

sea of glass = a symbol of purity. Without spot/blemish/scratch and solid, calm, and clear.

beasts = (zoon) living ones. Occurs 20 times.

eyes... = they protect the throne of God - a figure of speech for all seeing. (like our saying "eyes in the back of your head"); they are always present around the throne of God. They are protectors.

These guards are cherubim. See cherubim. The same cherubim of Gen 3.24 , Eze 1.5-14 , 10.20

Rev 4:7 And the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast [was] like a flying eagle.

Not only do these 4 cherubs protect God's throne, but they protect His children - the tribe of Israel (all of God's creation -paradise). See Num.2.2+. The lion is the symbol of Judah (his flag) who camped on the East side. On the South side camps Reuben (the man - his flag). On the west side camps (ox) Ephraim. On the North camps (eagle) Dan. This was the defense formation of the tribes when they camped at night. God utilizes heraldry and symbolism to convey His message. In other words, these all-seeing guards also are stationed around the Throne of God in all four sides (east,west, north, and south) - full protection for the throne of God.

Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

six = the number of man; these were men (promoted to this status).

wings = these were men in ships. The ships description are given in Ezek 1+.

Holy = the first of 17 heavenly utterances. See Ps 93, 97 , 99 , Is 6.3 . Cp. Num 6.24-26 .

full of eyes = fig. all seeing (protectors). As in verse 7.

Which...come = i.e. the name of God. See The Name.

Rev 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

Rev 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

O Lord = "our Lord, and our God."

glory, honor, power = place "the" before each of these.

Why did God create man? For His pleasure. He wants to pleasure you. Do you pleasure Him?

Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

in = upon.

sealed = having been sealed up.

within...backside = a Hebraism for "it had everything - front to back, cover to cover." (i.e. the entire Word of God)

seals = the seals of spiritual completeness that you must have in your mind to stand against fake Jesus.

"Within and behind." Description of a roll like that in Luke 4:17, not a codex as some scholars think. Usually these papyrus rolls were written only on the inside, but this one was so full of matter that it was written also on the back side like that in Eze 2:10 .

Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

strong = mighty. Ps 103:20

loud = great.

Bold and strong angelic being. Not everybody is able to receive the seals in their mind because they are not able to understand them (blinded by God on purpose - Rom 11.8 ) See Ezek 2.9 .

Who = as in Rev 5:5 Isa 29:11,12 41:22,23

Worthy to open and to loose = Worthy by rank and character as well as by ability .

Rev 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

no man = no one. I.e. only God Himself could.

under = i.e. nobody in any direction can open the book (i.e. nobody in the universe). The book is the Word of God which is God. No one can truly understand the book unless God allows him to.

Rev 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

and to read = *omit*.

John could sense that the truth was here - he wanted to understand it badly. (No man can understand it unless Christ allows him to.)

Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

prevailed = overcome.

to loose = *omit*.

See Heb.2.14. Christ died so that we could have the power to destroy death. After Christ paid the price, He could open the Truth to those that He chooses to understand.

Weep = See Jer 31:16 Luke 7:13 8:52 23:28 John 20:13

the Lion of the Tribe of Judah = Christ as King. See Gen49:9,10 Nu 24:9 Heb 7:14 Isa 11:1,10

the Root. = See 22:16 Isa 11:1,10 Jer 23:5,6 Rom 1:3 15:12

Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

beasts = See Rev 4.6 for a description. They are Cherubim.

Lamb = young Lamb. Symbolic of the spotless Lamb of God which is Christ. Symbolic of the High Priest. See Rev 6:16 7:9-17 12:11 13:8 17:14 21:23 22:1,3 ,Isa 53:7,8, Joh 1:29,36 Ac 8:32 1Pe 1:19,20 1Sa 2:10 Da 7:14 Mic 4:13 Hab 3:4 Lu 1:69 Php 2:9-11

horns = a symbol indicating power. Seven indicating spiritual perfection. I.e. the Absolute perfect power. ( 2Sam 22.3 ).

seven = a number that in Hebrew means "spiritual completeness". See Biblical Numerics.

seven spirits of God = same spirits of Rev1.20. Not 7 separate spirits, but one Holy Spirit that is spiritually complete (i.e. the number 7).

seven eyes = All perfectly seeing. You cannot hide anything from Him - He can see into your soul. See 2Ch 16:9 Zec 3:9 4:10

Rev 5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

took = hath taken. Father gives the Word of God it to Him. Only the spotless one can become the Word in flesh.

Rev 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

had taken = took.

vials = bowls. Occurs 12 times.

odours = incense. Sweet smelling incense. God likes these prayers like we like sweet smells. An analogy. Notice that the prayers are not lost.

are = i.e. symbolize. Yes - this book is symbolic.

saints = the Saints. See Elect.

God is aware of the prayers of His children - He doesn't only hear them, they are precious to Him.

Rev 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

new = See Matt 9.17 , Rev 14.3 .

hast redeemed = didst purchase. See The Potter's Field.

us = them.

kindred = tribe.

Christ died for all people, races, creeds. (Even Kenites if they believe).

The song is the Song of Moses. See Deut.32.

Rev 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

kings = a kingdom (note that it is on the earth).

priests = i.e. a priestly (kingdom).

earth = On earth, not heaven. See Millennium.

Rev 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

ten...thousand = myriads of myriads. A Hebraism for countless numbers (uncountable - those that have already passed on and are with the Father). Antichrist did not appear while they were living (although many types have appeared).

Rev 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

loud = great.

power = the power.

and = the 7-fold ascription is noticed. If you participate in the first 6, the blessings follow.

Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

creature = created thing. I.e. all creation in the Universe.

such as are = *omit*.

for...ever = See Rev 1.6.

The fourfold ascription delivered by the whole creation. 4 in Biblical Numerics is God's creation.

Rev 5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

four and twenty = *omit*.

Him...ever = *omit*.

This chapter explains the six seals and the sealing of the 144,000 (Chapter 7). The six seals are prophesies that deal with antichrist (fake jesus). The number six meaning in Biblical Numerics "sin". The 6 seals given here line up exactly with the 6 seals given in Matt 24 and Mark 13. For best understanding, follow along in Matt 24 and Mark 13 with each seal that you read.

Rev 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

Lamb = i.e. the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ). See Rev 5:6.

as ... saying = Properly translated it should read: "one of the four zoa (zoon - singular) saying as with a voice of thunder".

thunder = Note that if you hear the thunder that means the lightning is already struck. What is the lightning? See Luke 10:18 to see who the lightning is. See also the study on Antichrist.

beasts = to see what these beasts are see Rev 4:6. See the study on Cherubim.

Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

This first seal aligns with Matt 24:4-5, Mark 13:5-6.

white = a symbol of purity and spotlessness.

horse = a symbol of power (i.e. like we use horsepower)

white horse = a pure, spotless, clear being with power. Looks like Jesus - OOps! But Jesus comes in Rev 19:11 on a white horse also! Which Jesus do you worship and are you "saved" by? See study on Rapture:the Big Lie.

he = i.e. the first "rapture" to fake Jesus (Satan).

bow = the word in the Greek is toxon which has a double meaning: it means "a bow" and "a cheap fabric". Note that there are no arrows mentioned because Satan is not allowed to physically touch the Elect of God, only to try to "convert" them. This is what the Gospel Armor is for - to defend yourself against the invisible arrows of Satan and to stand firm. You don't put on armor to "fly away" as so many false teachers teach. Satan's weapons are really just cheap fabric to those that truly understand the Word (i.e. the fabric is worthless - put on the Gospel armor instead).

crown = Satan comes disguised as "king of kings" and" lord of lords". Are you prepared or are you just playing church?

conquer = if fake jesus can make you believe that he is real - you are conquered and don't have the seal of God in your brain (forehead). I guess you don't know God's Word - hmmmmm.

Rev 6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

see = John sees it with his own eyes. Rev 1:10.

Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

another = (allos) another of the same. i.e. another under the power of the first (under the power of Antichrist).

horse = i.e. power.

power = it. (horse is the symbol for power).

peace = the peace. True peace is the love of Christ - this is a fake peace.

red = See Gen.27. See "Esau's Nation". A nation that would live by the sword - and would die by it (Christ's sword -Rev 1.12) . Russia is a part of the "fake" world peace. Christ gives this second seal in Mark 13.7, Matt.24.6,7. Communism is likened to antichrist's government - i.e. no true Christ, everybody shares the wealth and is rich (with fake jesus' help), government will make everybody rich.

kill = i.e spiritual death is worse than a flesh death. Those converted to the "fake jesus" would love to convert you and cause a potential spiritual death.

sword = i.e. the Word of God. Satan knows the Word of God and will use it against you. The same sword mentioned in Rev 1:16. Satan will use the Word against you as in Matt 4:6.

Rev 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

black = symbolic of famine and war. See Lam.4.4-8.

pair... = the man with the balances is in Amos 8.1-18. The balances are rigged with deceit.

The famine of the Truth of the Word (Amos 8.11-12). Material goods are plentiful by fake jesus - but the deception is complete, and the famine of the end days is in effect.

Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

penny = a denarius at this time was a day's wage.

i.e. "You'll work all day for one loaf of bread..."

The people are ripped off financially due to the false balances in the world system (i.e. not doing it God's way). Note that the bread is spiritual meat (i.e. God's Truth). See Ezek.4.l0,16,17.

see = "and hurt thou not".

oil...wine = the special protection of the elect in the famine times. See Elect. These are those off the true vine of God (Rev.12.14, Zech.13.8, Rom.3.1,2, 9.4,5). Antichrist and his ministers cannot touch those who have the seal of God in their forehead. Christ gives this third seal in Mark 13.8, Matt.24.7.

Rev 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

Fourth seal given in Matt 24:9-11, Mark 13:9-13.

Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

pale = symbolic of death. No blood in the face (as opposed to adam = shows blood in the face). Death is a name of Satan. See Heb 2:14.

Death = i.e. Satan as fake jesus. All four horses wrapped into one.

power = God lets Satan borrow Gods power for the short duration of the time of his role of fake jesus. The only restriction is the he cannot physically harm the Elect - and when he does, that will be his downfall - Rev 11:3+.

forth = the number four is a symbol of creation. Earth created on the 4th day. See Biblical Numerics. I.e. Satan has power over all creation to do what he wants.

sword = i.e. the Word of God. Fake Jesus will use it against you as Satan tempted Christ (Matt4).

hunger = the hunger for the Word of God. I.e. there will only be deception at this time to God's Word.

Death = a spiritual death by violation of the 1st commandment of God. Even those they live in flesh luxuriously under fake Jesus, they are considered dead meat to God.

beasts = i.e. copies of the beasts of Rev 4. Fake Cherubs and angelic beings of Gen 6. Beware for the most awesome technology you have ever seen. Fake spiritual disciples and apostles claiming to be Moses, Elijah, John, two witnesses, etc. Beware.

of the earth = the angelic beings are called "of the earth" as in Gen 6:3. An insult by God directed at those fallen angelic beings that are now held in prison until released. See Jude.

Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

A brief glimpse into heaven as fake jesus' deception covers the earth. These are those elect that died for the true Christ and His Word. See study on Elect.

Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.

5th seal given in Mark 13:14-23. Matt 24:12-28

white = symbol of purity.

robes = symbol of righteous acts. See Garments. What will you be wearing?

killed = i.e. the killing of the (two) witnesses. See Rev 11:3.

Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

earthquake = (seismos) See Hag.2.6,7,21,22, Zech.14.5, Matt.8.24, Heb.12.26. Cp. Ps.46.

moon = full moon. Symbolic of Satan. I.e. See Gen.1:16.

as blood = i.e. as to color. I.e. Satan is revealed as a man and not God. (i.e the moon shows blood in the face). Antichrist is shown to be just a man - not the "True Christ" that the masses were looking for.

black = due to the locust army (Ex.10.15, Rev.9).

The supernatural army and arrival of Antichrist (fake Jesus). Christ gives this sixth seal in Mark 13.24-25, Matt.24.29-end and Matt 25.

Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

stars = See.9.1. Cp. Dan.8.10. See Stars.

mighty = great.

fig tree = See study on Parable of the Fig Tree (Matt 24:32-34).

These figs are sour - harvested early out of season. These bad figs are the the released angelic beings mentioned of in Jude. See Rapture: The Big Lie.

Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

departed = parted asunder.

when... = rolling itself up.

moved = removed. The nation of Kenites removed. This is the mountain (Nation of Babylon) that true Christians remove with their prayers. See Matt17:20, Matt 21:21.

mountain = symbol for nation. See Mountains.

See Matt.21.21 concerning this. The time of wrath of God. True Christ returns. (The sixth seal containing the figs, the gnashing of teeth and hiding of Rev 6:15-16, and the sealing of Rev 7).

Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

every = *omit*.

Only 2 churches escape - Smyrna and Philadelphia. You must know the Kenites to have a part in moving this nation. Don't put your trust in a false messiah and a system of materialism, put your faith in God's Word (which you must know first, obviously).

Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

said = they say.

face = presence.

The masses know they had gone wrong in worshipping fake jesus. See Hos.10.8, Luke 23.30. These people have allowed Christ to become a stumblingblock to them (by worshipping a fake).

Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

great day = See Joel 2.11, 31, Zeph.1.14.

The question is answered! The elect will be able to stand. This is the day of the Lord (Rev.1.10) that John was taken to to witness. The few that understand His truth (the Word) and follow through will be able to stand tall and proud in the Father's glory.

This chapter is a continuation of Chapter 6 , containing the subject area of the sealing of the 144,000 of Israel and other nations. This is a continuation of the 6th seal and parallels with Matt 24:45 and Matt 25.

Rev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

four = the number of creation. See Biblical Numerics.

four corners = i.e four directions (i.e. all directions). See Jer.49.36, Dan.7.9, 8.8, 11.4, Zech.2.6, 6.5.6.5. The winds spoken of in Dan 7.2 Which are the winds that consummate the end of this age. What wind is this? The wind that is the spirit of antichrist (fake jesus). This wind is intended to damage creation spiritually.

sea = See Rev.17.15. A symbol for population.

trees = See study on Trees. A symbol for people,

Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

east = i.e. the direction the sun rises in.

seal = sealed in the mind. See Rev 13:18-14:1. You have this seal or the other seal.

hurt = These angelic beings' job is to bring the wrath of God on the people.

Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

in = inside.

in their foreheads = a Hebrew idiom for "in your brain (mind)".

God wants the predestined remnant to come full bloom in the knowledge of God's Word and then the angelic beings will unleash.

See the study on Elect and Remnant.

Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Rev 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.

The tribes of Dan and Ephraim omitted - Levi and Joseph taking their places, (Lev,24,10-16, Deut,29,18-21, Judg 18.2-31, IKings 12.26-33, Hos 4.17) Reuben was guilty of incest --but he is here. Dan and Ephraim (Mark 13.21) practiced idolatry and blasphemed God (more serious). After the millennium, Dan and Ephraim will be restored (Ezek 48).

Rev 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.

Rev 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.

Rev 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.

Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

no man = no one.

peoples = peoples.

palms = (phoinix) i.e. true Palm Sunday. See Appointed Days, See John 12.13. Palm is a symbol of peace.

white robes = symbol of righteousness and good works.

Rev 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Rev 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

beasts, elders = See Rev 4.6.

Rev 7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Blessing = In Rev 5.12, we had the same 7-fold blessing with the exception of "riches" being changed to "thanksgiving", showing that this group had already received the riches - for they are with God and have already overcome.

Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

white robes = symbolic for righteous acts and purity. Your acts make up your robes. See study on Garments.

Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

great... = the great... Cp. Matt.24.21, Jer.30.5-7, Dan.12.1.

washed = (pluno). These wash "their own robes" - the standing of works, not grace. The robes are made of the righteous acts you accomplish - made possible by Christ's blood (repentance).

Rev 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

day and night = i.e. continually.

Temple = See 3.12.

dwell = (skeno) See 12.12, 13.6, 21.3, John 1.14, Isa.4.5,6.

Comes to pass in the last verse in the book of Ezekiel (after the millennium). The Godhead will return to the earth after the millennium.

Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

light = (pipto) Occurs 23 times in Rev. See Isa.30.26. Christ is our light in the spiritual body.

heat = The spiritual body is painless - although not necessarily mentally painless (for those who did not overcome).

Rev 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

feed = shepherd. See Mic.5.4.

living... = fountains of the water of life. Eternal life in Christ. Refers to Isa.49.8-10, 25.8, Jer.31.9,10-25, Ezek.47.1,12.

As a young child has his/her tears wiped away by the mother/father (the analogy). See Rev.21.4. After the second death (Rev 20) - all those that were destroyed in the second death (i.e death of the soul) will have their memories wiped away in the overcomers as if they had never existed.

Rev 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

silence = (sig ). Only here and Acts 21.40.

the space of = *omit*.

Christ gives the 7th seal in Mark 13.28-33, Matt.24.31-44.

It is not silent in heaven as long as Satan is there (and his angelic followers), which are accusing day and night the followers of God's Word (because we all fall short), even occasionally in front of the throne of God (Rev.12.10). It is silent in heaven when Satan is not in heaven (i.e. he is kicked out on earth as fake jesus). See 2Thess2:7. See Jude.

1/2 hour = A certain period of time that Satan is not in heaven anymore but on earth.

These are the bad figs that fall. See Parable of the Fig Tree (Matt 24).

Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

trumpets = symbol for an action. Cp. Num.10.9, etc.

stood = stand.

The 7 seals are not written in chronological order as far as time, but written in this order so that you can better assemble them in your mind. You must have the 7 seals in your mind to stand against antichrist. Each seal is something you must understand to stand against antichrist:

Seal #1: You must know how Satan arrives on earth (disguised as Christ, bringing "peace" to the world).

Seal #2: A knowledge of how to fight the spiritual war against antichrist (the sword is the Word), as well as some knowledge of some geographic events.

Seal #3: A knowledge of the unbalanced (rigged) economic system and a knowledge of what the famine of the world is for (Amos 8:11).

Seal #4: A knowledge that the worship of Antichrist can lead to spiritual death, and knowledge of the beast system of Rev.13.

Seal #5: Knowledge of where the dead are (1Thess.4).

Seal #6: Knowledge of the parable of the fig tree (Matt 24) and the kenite doctrine.

Seal #7: Knowledge of the actual physical order of events in the book of Revelation (given by the trumpets), how the wrath of God comes about, and specific events in Revelation. The 7 trumpets are part of the seven seals- you must know the order of events when Antichrist arrives. Each trump is symbolic for Antichrist arriving on earth (each giving a different angle). The trump stands for "taking physical action".

Rev 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

golden altar = The small golden altar of the Tabernacle and the larger one of Solomon's Temple were but copies in miniature. See Heb 8.5, 9.23,24.

Didn't say Christians - but saints. These were not prayers for self, but for the multitudes of people who are blinded. Don't think your prayers for the people are not heard and stored.

Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

smoke = (kapnos) occurs 13 times, all in Rev., except Acts 2.19. Save here, always associated with "judgment" or "the pit".

Rev 8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast [it] into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

And = seven "ands".

fire = symbol for God's truth (the seal of God in the minds planted on the earth). See study on fire.

This is the order that begins the sounding of the trumpets. God's Truth upsets this world age - it is not popular, for the real truth is hated by the deceived masses. This is the latter day rain (of truth). The rain that enters the minds of people and plants the 7 seals so that men/women of God can take a stand.

*Note: the first 6 trumps sound at the same time, each one giving a different angle on the arrival of antichrist.

Rev 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

earth = add "and the third part of the earth was burnt up".

trees = Symbolic for people (populous), masses. See study on Trees.

green = (chloros) pale, deathly. For there is no true life in them.

grass = symbolic of people, masses. i.e. "all flesh is grass".

1/3 = the 1/3 that fell directly to Satan in the old world age (Rev.12.4). A large part of this 1/3 are on the earth when antichrist arrives (because they deserve it). See study on Three Eons..

fire = symbolic of deception, false doctrine, as this fire is mingled (mixed with lies, flesh) which lead to deception and corruption. This fire is not pure - as opposed to the fire in the previous verse that is pure and directly from the altar of God.

Rev 8:8 And 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;

fire = the same strange fire of vs 7 (deception and false doctrine).

sea = symbolic of people, nations (Rev.17.15).

mountain = symbolic of nation. See study on Mountains. The nation (mountain) is the one-world nation under the head of Antichrist. The one-world system is made up of the deceived people. Remember the red sea? This "red sea" is made up of the blood of those destroyed by God because they were in Jerusalem (which is destroyed) worshipping Antichrist at the time God rained hailstones down (also called the great winepress of God) on them, as well as the blood of the saints whom they have murdered (Rev.18.18-24, 14.19-20). See Mark 11.23, Matt.17.20. This is the mountain that Christ said if we follow Him we can move - and this nation will move (this Babylon will be destroyed in Rev 20). God's people will pass through that "red sea" untouched by the armies of Satan.

Rev 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

and = which.

destroyed = (diaphtheiro) to rot, decay, pervert.

ships = symbolic of commerce. The commerce system of that one-world nation is corrupted.

The deceived masses have died a spiritual death (even though they are still untouched and are alive and active in the flesh) because they are blinded to the real truth of God's Word.

Rev 8:10 And 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;

waters = the waters (symbolic of the world masses).

lamp = i.e. gives forth "light". So does the moon - but it can only reflect (copy) the true light (the sun) and it has a dark side.

star = See study on Stars. The star is called Lucifer (Isa.14.12), which means "the bright morning star". This is Satan as antichrist (fake jesus). . See Luke 10.18.

Rev 8:11 And 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.

wormwood = (apsinthos) bitterness. This star is very bitter indeed. The test has arrived.

died = Men spiritually die because the waters are men. Spiritually dead through deception. Impregnated mentally with the seal of deception because they do not know God's Word. (mark of the beast - Rev.13.18). See Mark.13.9-11, Dan.9.27.

Rev 8:12 And 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.

shone not = should not shine.

sun, noon, stars = See Matt.24.29, Mark 13.24, Luke 21.25, Isa.5.30, Jer.4.28, Ezek.32.7,8, Joel 2.10,30,31, 3.15, Amos 5.20, 8.9, Zeph.1.14-15.

This is a imitation advent. Reads just like Matt.24.29; second advent, but it is only 1/3, not whole. It is for the 1/3 - who represent the deceived masses on the earth (Rev 12). Fake jesus' "advent".

darkened = will you be darkened by the deception of fake jesus?

Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

inhabiters = dwellers.

yet = about.

earth = occurs on earth, not in heaven - for there is peace in heaven when Satan is not there. This is a warning cry.

Rev 9:1 And 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.

star = i.e. Lucifer, See 8.10-11. See study on stars. See Luke10.18. From Heaven (i.e where God is) - a "heavenly" presence.

the...pit = (phrear) the pit of the abyss. See Luke 14.5,1 John 4.11-12, Rev.11.7, 17.8, 20.1,3, Rom.10.7.

The key not given to the star (Satan), but the angel that beheld the star. Rev.12.7- Michael holds the key. See Isa.14.12. Michael keeps him at bay until he lets him go (at God's command) - 2 Thess 2:7 (The "He" refers to Michael, the guardian of Satan and those angels in Jude).

Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

furnace = a place of fire. Compare to Rev.8.4. The smoke is symbolic of deception

Note: There is no fire mentioned. This is all smoke and mirrors - it just looks like there could be fire (because you see smoke). There is no fire of God however. The analogy is likened unto the moon (i.e. it looks like it could be the sun...but...its just a wasteland with reflected light). You only see one side of the moon - not the dark side (like fake jesus).

Rev 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

smoke = not fire, but smoke (deception, clouding the mind of those without God's Word in their mind).

locusts = (akris). The locust army of Satan. See Matt.3.4, Mark 1.6, (men of God consume them). Spoken of in Joel 1, 2.25. Flesh is grass and these locusts strip it bare in a hurry (in a spiritual sense as far as your standing with God). Locusts naturally have no king - they just strip the life out of the land (their king is themselves and whatever they can "strip"). If you have the seal of God you can consume these locusts with your mouth with the Truth (i.e. John the Baptist). See Prov 30.27.

scorpions = (skorpios) See Luke 10.19, 11.12 Ex.10.14. Know the scorpion - it attacks by stinging you with its poison which turns your insides to mush (i.e. you die). These sting with deception (backed by supernatural acts), and turn brains to mush (those that have not enough of the Word of God in them), so you spiritually die in the standing of God.

The army is made up of fallen angelic beings. (They claim to be Moses, Paul, Matthew, Isaiah, your Christian Grandpa, etc. Whatever it takes.) They can heal and raise dead (supposedly) if you accept them. Beware at all costs - do not argue with Satan, you will lose.

Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

The purpose of the army - to weed out the wheat from the tares. They cannot physically hurt the wheat (orders). Do I see a nuclear holocost here? I don't think so (a lie of Satan).

Rev 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

5 = grace (in this case a false grace of fake jesus). See Biblical Numerics.

months = i.e. calendar by the moon. Used in prophecies dealing with Satan.

kill = only God destroys men (besides the angles of Jude) in Rev 20 at the great White throne Judgment at the end of the Millennium.

Note: Some believe that Satan's time period has been shortened from 3 1/2 yrs to 5 months (Matt 24:22). This is correct - but the don't be surprised if it could last 1-2 years. Remember that 5 months is also numerically symbolic of a time of (false) grace. God will determine the length necessary to accomplish the harvest (definitely less than 3 1/2 years from the book of Daniel).

striketh = a scorpion does not have a stomach - it stings the victim, the victim is paralyzed, and the pinchers bring their victim up to it's mouth and the scorpion regurgitates juice (deception) that turns the victim's bones to mush (no Gospel armor). This is how Satan and his armies will spiritually seduce you if you do not have enough of the seal of God (this Word) in your mind. (Mark 13.20,Is.3)

Rev 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

This is how ashamed the followers of the desolators will be. See Rev.6.15+, Can't find death because they are transformed into a spiritual body when Christ arrives and they are ashamed (The soul can't die in a spiritual body until the end of the millennium at the second death of Rev 20).

Rev 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.

shapes = likenesses.

horses = symbolic of power (i.e horsepower). The same horses (of Antichrist) of Rev 5, Joel 2.8

were = *omit*.

crowns = i.e. they looked like princes and rulers. Looked like the Priests of the King of Kings (don't be fooled).

like gold = i.e. imitation gold, fool's gold; they look real "godly", claim to be princely rulers, disciples, etc. Look and appear so religious - they are fakes.

men = that is because they were men (just in a spiritual body).

Rev 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions.

hair...women = a metaphor for gentleness (very "godly") and seduction. Their sting of their mouth (deception) is related to hungry lions; furious, rips and tears you apart from God spiritually. See Joel 1.6

Rev 9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

breastplates = a true priest of God (Levite) is supposed to have a breastplate of the 12 stones of Israel, These breastplates are just plain old iron (i.e. false priests).

wings...sound = They are cherubims primed for a spiritual (intellectual) war. Eph.6 - you are supposed to have the gospel armour of God (His Word) for a defense. (not just plain iron plates - you will be defenseless)

Rev 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months.

See vs.5.

Spiritually slay (hurt), people with deception (by using miracles, supernatural events, beauty, healings, emotionalism, misapplying the Word, etc).

Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.

and = *omit*.

Abaddon = destroyer (i.e. Satan) The "destruction" of Job 26.6, 28.22, 31.12, Ps 88.11, Prov 15.11, 27.20, Cp. Isa.16,4, Jer 4.7, 6.26, Dan 8.24,25, 9.26, 11.44.

Apollyon = destroyer.

The destroying angel who is the imitation "jesus". This same angel goes to the pit in Rev 20.

Rev 9:12 One woe is past; [and], behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

The three woe trumps are for earth.

. Rev 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

horns = symbol for power. i.e. the Cherubims that guard the throne of God (zoon of Rev 4:7).

Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

Imitation jesus will have his 4 cherubs guarding him as well (copy of Rev 4). These four are evil however.

Four is also symbolic of creation (Biblical Numerics). At the time of antichrist there will be evil angelic beings running all over creation (The locust army of Jude that is now guarded by Michael the archangel). A near-replica of Gen 6.

Euphrates = in Hebrew this word means "rush forth, unleashed". This army will be unleashed in the future.

Rev 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

third part = See Rev 8:7. The spiritual slaying of mankind from God will be complete.

Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

army = armies.

and = *omit*.

two...thousand = i.e. a great multitude. "2" in biblical numerics is unity (with Satan) and division (against God).

The religious army of people that have the mark of the beast in their forehead (Rev.13.18). See 2Cor.11.14-16. They make up Satan's troops, once they worship him. You are either a part of the army of God or you are not.

Rev 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses [were] as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

horses = symbol of power. The same horses of Rev 6.

Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

brimstone = (theion) Occurs 6 times in Rev., and in Luke17.29.

fire = symbolic of truth (or false truth - strange fire). See Fire.

three = three plagues.

Notice that it issued out of their mouths; i.e. words spoken that seduce men to worship antichrist. The three are:

1) converts, kenites, and false preachers,

2) antichrist and his system (the two beasts of Rev 12-13)

3) the fallen angels (Jude).

Most will think that this is the fire of God (i.e. God's Word), but it's the strange fire (false doctrine) of Satan. They appear to have the truth of the Word - but they have strange fire coming from their mouths (deception). They rip you from the true Christ like a starving lion (i.e. the great apostasy).

Rev 9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails [were] like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

their power = the power of the horses (Rev 6).

serpents = (ophis). As in 12.9,14,11, 20.2. See Jer.8.l7.

Many of them act like and therefore become the children of the serpent. See Kenites. They sting people with deception in the mind (i.e. give them the mark of the beast). Rev.13.18.

Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

devils = demons.

idols = (eidolon) the idols. See Ps.115.4-8.

rest = remaining.

The "rest" shows that God was not talking about 1/3 of the world, but all of the world. The 1/3 was only introduced to refer to the 1/3 of the people (Rev.12.4) that fell in the world that was (in which most of that 1/3 will be on the earth in a flesh body when Antichrist arrives). The people are very materialistic, and very "religious" (but they worship creation). Their priority is not God but themselves.

Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

sorceries = (pharmakeia) witchcraft. Occ. 18.23, Gal.5.20.

murders = i.e. even spiritual murder (Matt.24.9, Mark 13.12, Heb.2.14).

They don't repent because they believe they are doing a very "churchly" thing. They don't know that they are doing anything wrong. Thank God for the Millennium - they will be taught what they were doing wrong and will have a chance to rectify their situation with God.

Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his head, and his face [was] as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

come = coming.

rainbow = symbol of the promise of God. See 4.3.

cloud = cp.1.7, Ps 18.11, 104.3, Isa 19.1, Matt 24.30.

Rev 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and [his] left [foot] on the earth,

a little book = (biblaridion). This book is the Word of God. The Word of God coming to pass over the entire world - both earth and sea. Do you open the book?

Rev 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

loud = great.

seven = the seven thunders. Compare to the 7 thunders in Ps.29. Thunders mean that the lightning (Luke 10.18) has already struck (antichrist has arrived).

Rev 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

their voices = *Omit*.

unto me = *Omit*.

Rev 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

hand = the texts read "right hand".

Rev 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

that...longer = there is no more time. I.e. there is now no delay in the final vengeance. See 6.11.

Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

mystery = Rev 1.20.

Rev 10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go [and] take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

little book = (biblon) book.

Rev 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it], and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

eat it up = i.e. a Heb expression for understand the knowledge within. This book was the Word of God.

Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

The Word of God is sweet to the mind (taste) and bitter to the flesh (stomach).

Rev 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

That is this book of Revelation. See the study on Tongues.

Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

reed = (kalamos) Occurs in Rev 21.15, 16.

rod = scepter. The measuring reed is like a scepter, and measures for destruction, not for building. See Lam 2.8. This rod of God is to destroy the temple (cleanse it). Matt 24.1-3, 2Thess2.4+.

and...stood = *Omit*.

Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.

without = (exothen) outside.

leave = (ekballo) cast out, throw out.

is = was

Gentiles = (ethnos) Occurs 23 times in Rev. Should be translated "nations".

holy city = i.e. Jerusalem. Matt 4.5.

forty and two months = i.e. 1260 days = 3 1/2 years. Compare to Rev 12.6, 14, 13.5, Dan 7.25, 12.7, Luke 4.25, James 5.17.

The temple area in Jerusalem given to the one-world religious system (the nations) under antichrist for 3 1/2 years (shortened by Christ to a time less than 3 1/2 years). Months used in prophecies concerning Satan (by the moon).

Rev 11:3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

give = give power (the Word is power).

1260 days = 3 1/2 months. A prophesy concerning God (solar).

two witnesses = The two prophets that never died in the flesh were Enoch and Elijah. Many believe that these will be the two witnesses. The other scenario (and the one that I favor) is that those persons that have the same spirit of Elijah and Enoch (i.e. the spirit of prophecy, similar to John the Baptist coming in the spirit of Elijah, which was the same spirit of God's Truth) are represented here - i.e. all the Elect. For more details see the special study on the two witnesses.

sackcloth = garments of mourning.

Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

are = represent.

two olive trees = See Zech 4.3, 11, 14 where these two are represented.

standing = which stand.

of the earth = See Joshua 3.11, 13. Zech 6.5, Ps 115.16.

Olive trees produce olive oil, which is symbolic of the Truth of God's Word. The Elect carry the Word of God (seal of God) in their minds (forehead). Matt 25:1-13 - 10 virgins should have the Truth (oil), 5 don't have enough.

Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

ire = See Jer 5.14. The fire is a symbol for the Truth of God's Word. Rev 1.16 - the same fire from the mouth of Christ (consuming and purifying).

This is how one man (an Elect) shall kill 1000 (spiritually, not physically). See Deut 32:30.

Rev 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

ain = i.e. the rain of Truth. Is the famine of Amos 8.11-13. If the Elect don't teach the word of God then people will spiritually die to Antichrist.during this time.

These two will create a great deal of havoc to turn people to the Word of God and away from fake Jesus. If the elect do nothing - the plagues will occur because there is no truth in the land.

waters = symbolic of masses of people (Rev 17.15). Masses of people caught in the winepress of God (Red sea - Rev 14.19).

Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

testimony = as in Rev 1.2.

beast = wild beast. This is the Second Beast of Rev 13 - the Religious Beast which is fake Jesus. This is a literal killing of the Elect - Satan directly breaks God's commandment to him (Broke Rev 9.4) and crosses the line.

Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

dead bodies = (ptoma) corpses. See Matt 24.28, Mark 6.29.

street = (plateia) a broad place or way.

great city = See Jer 22.8. Jerusalem. Isa 25.2-9.

Sodom...Egypt = God considers the city very dirty and in need of cleansing. The abomination (fake jesus) is there and the angelic beings of Jude. Jerusalem becomes dirtier than Sodom and Gomorrah to God.

Rev 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

people = peoples (of the world).

kindreds = tribes, races.

three days and a half = a literal period of 84 hours.

Everybody can see through television - notice the one-worldism in this.

Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

tormented = i.e. with the real Truth of God being taught. The real truth hurts those who are in deception (i.e. in Babylon, have the mark of the beast in their brain, etc).

Rev 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

spirit of life = (pneuma zoes) breath of life.

fell = (epipipto) a white, paralyzing fear (explicit).

The world realizes at this moment that they have been had by the fake.

Rev 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

to heaven = into the heaven (where God is).

The 7th (and final) trump is about to sound. This occurs exactly 84 hours (3 1/2 days) from the killing of the Elect in Jerusalem.

Rev 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

seven thousand = i.e. the angelic beings of Jude slain spiritually in the Temple area (Rev 20).

remnant = the 144,000+ that were sealed by the Elect during the time of fake jesus. These worshipped the fake jesus and the system but came out of it. The Elect never have worshipped the fake.

Rev 11:14 The second woe is past; [and], behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel 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 7th trump (and final trump) is the Trump of the action of God. See Biblical Numerics. See 1Cor 15.50-55 and 1Thess4.16 for this final trump. This is when the elect gather to Christ in a group on earth in a spiritual body. This is the gathering - there is no pre-trib rapture.

for ever and ever = See 1.6, Ex 15.18, Ps 146.10.

Notice that Christ's kingdom is on this earth, not in heaven. The millennium begins, with the elect being champions of the people and serving Christ in Temple duties, as well as the teaching of the masses. (Ezek 44).

[Rev 11:16] And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell* upon their faces, and worshipped God,

fell... = See 4.10. The 12 apostles and 12 patriarchs.

Rev 11:17 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.

Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

dead = i.e. the masses on the earth - they are alive, but have not obtained immortal souls yet.

is come = came. See Isa 26.20,21.

judged = See Rev 20.12-15, John 5.24, Rom 8.1. Judgment brings rewards to the righteous.

prophets = See Heb 11.32.

fear = reverence.

saints = See 13.7, 10. 14.12, 16.6, Dan 7.18, Acts 9.13. The Elect.

destroy = are destroying. God destroys the fallen angels of Jude and the false system here, but not the ignorant and blinded masses - for they will be taught in the millennium.

Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

testament = (diatheke) covenant. This is where the Ark of the Covenant is now.

hail = See 16.21. Hamangog and Armageddon (the "earthquake" of vs 13). The hailstones that cleanse (disintegrate) the temple area and the army of Edom (the fallen angels).

Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

heaven = notice that we are dealing with heaven here (where God is) - not earth (as in Chapter 11)..

wonder = sign.

appeared = was seen.

Woman = i.e. symbolic of God's people - all people created at this moment in the old world age. See Ps 104.4.

twelve stars = Symbolic of God's Government. See Biblical Numerics. Also notice the 12 Zodiac signs. See Stars. Expand the twelve tribes of Israel to include all people in a symbolic sense.

Rev 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

cried = cried out.

pained = tormented. See 3.12.

A messiah must be born to pay for the sins of the old age. Notice that He was not born yet, because we are still in the old age in this verse (we need a flesh age to accomplish this). See Ezek 28 - in the old age Satan tried to take the seat of Christ! Satan (although he didn't have the name at that time) was a protecting Cherubim of God's Throne - a position that was earned by loyalty to God - until he broke it. God cursed him and sentenced him to death - now he is uses as a tool of God. Satan wants to destroy the seed of this one Christ child - and take His place as "fake messiah".

Rev 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

ragon = (drakon) First on 13 occurrences in Revelation. This is the name given to Satan in the old age (Rev 20.2).

red = i.e. like a man (shows blood in the face).

seven heads...horns = Satan formed the identical power structure in the old world age that he will attempt to do (on a much smaller scale - just earth) at the end of this age. This encompassing system is described in Rev 13.

horns = symbol for power.

crowns = symbol for governmental power.

7 = (false) spiritual perfection. A near-duplicate of God's perfection, but man-made. See Biblical Numerics. Covering 7 continents; a one-world (universe in the old age) system that confused the children of God in the old age (Babylon). See Zech 8, Dan 7, 9, 11.

Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

tail = i.e. these were behind (direct followers of) the Dragon (Satan) in the old age.

stars = see vs 1.

drew = draggeth. See John 21.8.

was ... delivered = is about to bring forth.

devour = eat up. See Gen 3.15.

1/3 of God's created children in the old age came to (mistakenly) hail Satan as God. These followed Satan outright. The other 2/3 of God's children came to be indifferent to this fact in the old age, with a small few standing against Satan with God (the elect) who never worshipped Satan of his system ever once. The masses of people loved deception or were indifferent to it and this is what brought God to destroy that old age. God created this flesh age to sacrifice Himself for these sins (ultimately the sins of the old age) to show His love for his people, and teach a great lesson (that will be ultimately taught to the masses in the Millennium).

Satan tried to devour the seed of Christ in this age and failed (the Old Testament) as well as seduce those that try to follow Christ to him through his role ad fake jesus. His role of fake jesus and system are a scaled-down version of the system in the old age.

soon = this is this flesh age, when Christ was born in to the world. See John 8.44, 2Cor 1.3.

Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.

man child = a son, a male. See Ps 2.9. This is Christ.

was = is about.

rod = See 2.27. Discipline under Christ's rule.

Christ in the flesh, crucified and now with God in Heaven. See the Trinity.

Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.

woman = i.e. what's left of the people that truly follow God's Word (Israel symbolic) in this flesh age.

This is the verse where we are now - Israel is lost (10 tribes in the wilderness do not know who they are). The place prepared ultimately in the free nations of the World (like America), for through these freedoms the research could be done so that the elect could be prepared and brought forth (by understanding and feeding upon the real plan and Truth of God - getting the seal of God).

two hundred and threescore days = 1290 days. The units of time between the crucifixion of Christ and the arrival of fake jesus (the generation that he arrives in). See Dan 12.11.

wilderness = Cp. Ezek 20.33-38.

Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

was = came to be.

heaven = i.e. the place (dimension) where God is.

Michael = see Dan 10.13,21, 12.1, Jude 9.

fought against = (going forth) to war with.

Michael is an archangel of Israel. This is Michael and troops vs Satan and his troops (the fallen in Jude). This is in heaven now, not on the earth. Michael and troops guard the cell and release them in 2Thess2.7.

Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

This is the silence in heaven for a time (1/2 hour) in Rev 8.1.

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

cast out = cast down.

serpent = the role of serpent in the garden of Eden. Gen 3.1.

old = ancient.

Devil = a seducing power.

Satan = the accuser.

Antichrist arrives on earth, claiming to be Jesus with great angels, technology (ships), miracles, healings, and the (borrowed) power of God. See Matt24.37.

Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

loud = great.

accuser = (kateforos) the meaning of the word Satan.

accused = accuseth. First occurs in Matt 12.10, last, here.

The central verse in Revelation. The power of Christ in heaven ready to go forth against the fake jesus. Heaven glad to get rid of Satan.

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

This group are those Christians that have passed on from this flesh age through the natural death. (Rev 6.9-11). We will meet in a large group with them when we transform into the spiritual body. 1Thess 4.15+.

Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Therefore = for this cause.

heavens = See 3.12, Matt 6.10.

dwell = tabernacle.

Satan in in his role as antichrist at this time for a period of less than 3 1/2 years.

Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].

The woman is the people of God (the 7000+ Elect and 144,000+ Remnant) that stay with the real Truth of the Word and don't fall for the deception of fake jesus' system. Satan hates those who hold the real Truth and don't fall for his false "salvation, healing, and peace" message and system.

Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

great eagle = Cp. Deut 32.11,12. I.e. a figure of speech for "protected fully" by the hand of God (i.e. you are not tempted or deceived because you find the system repulsive). These have the seal of God (this Word) in their minds. The eagle is also a symbol of the superpower of the end times, a symbol of Christian nations.

fly = (petomai) Cp Ex 14.5, Ps 35.1-5, Isa 11.6, Ezek 20.33-38, Hos 2.14, Zeph 2.3, Matt 24.15-28, Mark 13.14-23.

time... = See 11.2. This is the 3 1/2 year period of antichrist's reign. (shortened to a shorter length). See Rev9.5.

Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

mouth = a flood of lies and deception from the mouth of fake jesus that will destroy you if you listen to it and consider it. You must be on the ark of God (this Word) to survive spiritually during this time (i.e. know some of the hidden Truths of the Word). Poison comes from a serpent's mouth - a lot of this originates today in the form of a "rapture".

Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

opened = See Num 16.30.

swallowed up = (katapino. Occurs 7 times in NT. See 1Cor 15.54, Isa 59.19.

The Truth prepares God's people to not be affected by Satan's deception. This verse show's God's total control - i.e. the flood of lies will dissipate when you have the real truth of the Word in your mind.

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ

went = went away. As in John 11.46.

remnant = see remnant.

and have = holding.

seed = i.e. those few who have the real Truth. See Gen 3.15.

This is Satan's and the system's futility - leads up to Armageddon and Hamagog. They keep the commandments of God - nothing else matters here. The lines are drawn.

Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

And...sea = See Rev 17.15, a symbol of multitudes and nations. All the world nations.

beast = wild beast.

rise up = coming up. This one-world system slowly arises gradually.

having = "having ten horns and seven heads". See 12.3, 17.7-12, Dan 7.

the name = names.

7 heads = i.e. symbol for 7 dominions, i.e. 7 continents - covering the entire world gradually. (one-worldism)

10 horns = Horn is a symbol for power. 10 world rulers make up these horns. 10 in Biblical Numerics is Law - i.e. a world governmental system with laws (are they God's Law? No - the world laws provide a human solution to mankind's problems).

Crowns = a symbol of authority, royalty, rulership.

name...blasphemy = the purpose of this system ultimately is to help man survive together in unity (peace). However, this system has left God out. There is no peace without God. The purpose of the system defames God's Word, and therefore, is anti-God (Humanistic). Satan as fake jesus will soon head this system.

Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

eopard = (pardalis) See Jer 5.6, 13.23, Hos 13.7, Hab 1.8. "Their spot is not our spot." See Deut 5.6 and Kenites.

bear = i.e. the great bear system that is anti-God. This consists of Russia and the other communist nations who persecute Christians - the bear nations will be absorbed into the one-world system one by one. See Esau's Nation.

lion = See Dan 7.4-7. Very vicious and unmerciful spiritually (for they are spiritually void - the system will eventually lead to destruction).

dragon = i.e. a name for Satan. Satan as fake jesus will eventually head the system (which is a scaled down version of the system in the old age) during his less-than 3 1/2 year period soon. The masses will not recognize the system as leading to the worship of "play-jesus" from the outset.

him = i.e. the one world "peace" political system.

power = See Dan 8.24, 2Thess2.9.

seat = throne.

authority = i.e. over the world.

Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

wounded = slain.

deadly wound = death-stroke.

Here is a supernatural event that takes place because the second beast (antichrist) arrives on the scene to fix the world system perfectly. This is due to an event that disrupts the world system to the point to where only a supernatural event can fix the system. What is this event? Possibly a financial breakdown, threat of war, or non-solvable religious difference (as in the middle East). Satan will come as Allah, Sheba, and Christ all in one to solve the world's problems.

Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

The dragon is Satan who is playing the role of "healer jesus". The peoples of the world are loving (worshipping) the one-world system and the fake jesus that heals all problems. Satan's seductive influence causes all the world to accept the one-world political system (Dan 11). No one will want to make war because antichrist can give you everything you can want (food, prosperity, healing, raise dead, technology, etc). Its difficult to stand up against a peace system - if you do, it will run over you. The elect never accept the system - but they work wisely within it.

Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.

forty..two = 3 1/2 years given in months (a lunar prophesy of Satan). Shortened to less than this by Christ in Matt 24.

The entire world loves the lies and miracles - they love Babylon (confusion to God's Word).

Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Satan as fake jesus claiming to be the Christ and God in Jerusalem. He did it in the old age - See Ezek 28. Satan defames God from the Temple in Jerusalem to heaven. God feels it - and it hurts Him.

Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

make war = See 11.7, Dan 7.21, 8.12, 24, 11.31.

saints =the set aside ones. The Elect.

Even the Elect need to recognize to not argue with Satan - you will not win. God allows Satan and his angelic followers full power to do anything they want except physically afflict the elect ones. The elect, however, will be delivered up to death (a name for Satan - Heb 2.14) for a witness against fake jesus. Satan brakes the rule when he kills the witnesses and the countdown of 84 hours begins (Rev 12). See Tounges. See Matt 24.9.

Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

him = i.e. the one-world "beast" peace system.

life = the Life. I.e. the life of Christ.

foundation = (katabole) overthrow, apostasy, falling away. I.e. the destruction of the old world age in Gen 1.2. See Three Eons study.

Either you are of one of the Elect (predestined from the old world age) or you will hail fake jesus' system. Since the masses will be worshipping in ignorance of the Word, they will not be destroyed but will receive a hard lesson from this in the millennium.

Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

f... = See Rev 2.7. The eighth and last occurrence of this statement. Notice that this is directed toward individual people, not a group or "denomination". This is the signal to the Elect to sharpen up - the masses and nations are blinded to the truth by God (Rom 11.8) and will worship Satan and his one-world system directly.

Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

He that ... = read as:

"If any one is for captivity (deception), into captivity he/she goeth; if any one is to be killed with the sword, (spiritually with the sword of God - the Word from the mouth of Christ) with the sword he/she is killed."

These are Hebrew idioms for destiny (destined to be blinded and spiritually die). See Jer 15.2, 43.11, Ezek 5.2,12, Zech 11.9. None will fully escape the one-world system and fake jesus except the Elect (Saints).

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

horns = (keras) horn. Occurs 11 times in NT, 10 times in Rev, once in Luke 1.69. See Biblical Numerics.

out of = i.e. the serpent was to crawl out of the dust (earth) and seduce again - Gen 3.14.

lamb = i.e. he looked like the Lamb of God (looked exactly like Jesus). This is not a system like the first beast, but Satan himself in the role of antichrist (the religious beast).

dragon = he was the same dragon (from the old age) to head a system that is spiritually similar to the one in the old age.

Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

See verse 3. The deadly wound (one-world system) is healed by fake jesus (remember that God allows the fake to borrow His powers for this short time). Satan will cause the one-world political and economic system (the first beast) to worship him. We now have the true one-world system coming to fruition - it will be "heaven on earth" for the followers of antichrist. See Rev 17.8-10.

Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Satan in his role of fake jesus (and the fallen angels of Jude) will be able to heal the sick, clean the environment, (apparently) raise the dead, bring back extinct species (and new species), feed all the hungry, heal all diseases, heal old age, cure hair loss, impotence, cancer, etc, provide super technology (ships that have intergalactic capability), raise your standard of living and lifestyle, peace in the world, etc. as long as you worship (put in high priority) him and his system. The fake can do anything, with the exception of harming the Elect physically. This is what the those that have the real Truth have to stand up against. You will not win a popularity contest standing against this system.

Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

eceiveth = he deceiveth. Cp 2Thess2.9-11, 1Tim4.1-3. These supernatural miracles are done to impress and convert people (unlike Christ's - whose miracles were for lessons and authencation), they are not real signs that align to God's Word.

which...power = which it was given him. (borrowed power)

sight of the beast = sight of the (first) beast (the one-world system).

image = (eikon). First of 10 occurrences in Revelation. The one-world system is now only an image of God's Kingdom - "heaven on earth". The first beast (the one-world political and economic system) takes on the image of "the Kingdom of God" after fake jesus' arrival.

did live = lived again. The one-world peace system healed thoroughly by antichrist from a financial/war wound. The system is now not just a one-world peace system, but a one-world religious system of antichrist that is based on the prosperity the antichrist provides.

Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

he had power = it was given him power (by God).

image of the beast = i.e. the one-world religious, political, economic, and educational system.

killed = i.e. brought up for a witness before death (Satan). See Mark 13.11-13, Heb 2.14. The elect shall be brought up to testify. Satan has orders (Rev 9.4) not to physically harm God's elect, but those order will be broken. See Tounges.

See Dan 2.1-36, 3.10-30. The furnace of Satan cannot hurt those that stand on the real Truth of the Word of God.

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

he = i.e. the second beast (fake jesus which is the antichrist).

mark = (charagma). First of 8 occurrences in Revelation.

in their right hand = i.e. a Hebrew idiom indicating that they do work for and support fake jesus and his system of economics and government.

in their foreheads = i.e. in their minds (i.e. deception in the mind). Your brain is "in" your forehead - use it on God's Word and don't be deceived by the fake and his system. If you do not have the seal of God in your forehead (Rev 14.1 - the 7 seals of God; i.e. the Word of God), you are already primed to accept the mark of the beast in your forehead - for you will put a high priority (worship) the fake jesus and his system.

Contrary to most teachings, this is not a visible mark for it is in the forehead, not on the forehead. Understand vs18 to see what the mark is.

Don't be scared of any mark - even if a mark is stamped on you from head to toe. God evaluates you through your love for His Word in your mind and you following it. No stamp, credit card #, SSN, tattoo, etc, can separate your love from the real Truth of God, regardless of what any "super-preacher" may say.

Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

might = should be able to.

save = except.

You will accept Satan's system or you won't be able to do business. Use common sense and wisdom during Satan's hour.

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

Here... = see Rev 17.19.

understanding = (nous). See 1Cor14.14.

count = (psephizo) to use pebbles in enumeration, to calculate using pebbles. See study on stones. This does not mean "count" as in counting numbers; it means following a trail (of stones) worn over a long period of time - a path of stones. Take the less-traveled trail of stones rather than the common well-worn road of the masses.

The Kenites are the pebbles - do you know the false seed and have you followed their origination from Cain (Gen 3.15)? Do you know the Kenite doctrine and their father (Satan)? Only then do you have True wisdom - that's what this verse is speaking of.

man = a specific man. The only man that God set a mark upon was Cain (Gen 4.15). The kenites are the sons of Cain.

666 = (chi xi stigma). 6 is the number of man and sin - Satan's trinity (a copy of the trinity of God, no less). See Biblical Numerics. Made up of the 22nd letter in the Greek alphabet (chi), the 14th letter (xi), and an obsolete letter (stigma). Understanding "stigma" is the secret to unlocking this verse.

stigma = a mark incised or punched as a mark of ownership.

To be able to take the seal of God in your brain (forehead), rather than the mark of Satan's ownership during this tribulation, you absolutely must understand the kenites and be able to follow the pebbles (genealogy) of Cain (who was marked). To understand how the enemy (Satan) works, you must understand how the Kenties operate. Know how the enemy attacks so that you may prepare a good defense (the Gospel armor). See Isa 14.12-16.

Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

Lamb = compare to the lamb of Rev 13.11. This is the true Lamb of God (The true Christ).

mount Sion = Mt Zion in Jerusalem. Cp. Heb 12.22.

hundred ... = See Rev 7.3-8. The Remnant.

His...Name = "His Name and His Father's Name". I.e. this army has God's Truth in their mind (i.e. they understand it).

in their foreheads = you wither have the seal of God or you don't (you understand the Word or you don't). See Ezek 44 - when the Elect come forth, the 144,000 wake up during fake Jesus' reign.

Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

waters = i.e. the sound of a large group of people (this army).

I heard ... = "the voice which I heard (was that) of harpers". I.e. singing a song.

The song is the Song of Moses (Deut 32). Reve 15.3 shows that this army is singing this victory song.

Rev 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

sung = sing.

new song = See Rev 5.9.

new song = See Matt 9.17.

beasts = See 4.6.

elders = all 24. See Rev 4.4. The understanding of the events in this Song of Moses allows one to overcome the deception of this tribulation of fake jesus.

that song = the song. (a certain song).

redeemed = purchased. See Matt 13.44, 1Cor6.20. In Rev 13.17 - "redeemed" here is the same word as "buy" - i.e. bought with the blood of the Lamb of God (Christ).

Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

defiled with women = i.e. seduced by the beasts of Rev 13. See Matt 24:19. Do not get seduced and impregnated in your mind with the lies and deception (Babylon) from fake jesus and his system (false doctrine and materialism).

virgins = the virgins who are successful in Matt 25.1+. They were not seduced by the beasts of Rev 13.

Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

was...guile = was not found (the) lie. The lie is in 2Thess2. See 2Cor 1.3. This group has spoken no guile against the True Christ - for they never worshipped the fake jesus or they repented from worshipping.

before...God = *omit*.

without fault = See Eph 1.4.

Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

gospel = (evangelion).

The True Word will be taught during the Millennium.

Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

fear = reverence. I.e. give God the highest priority.

fountains = See Isa 61.2. Jesus stopped reading halfway in Luke 4.19. This is the hour Christ was speaking of. See also 2Peter3.7+, 1000 years (a millennium) to man is as 1 day to God (the 7th day with 6000 yrs from Adam completed).

Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

there ... = "another, a second messenger, followed".

Babylon...city = "Fallen, fallen (is) Babylon the great". See 18.2, Isa 21.9.

wine = see study on wine. This is the mixed wine of deception of antichrist - a false communion (not the blood of Christ).

city = *omit*.

because she = "which".

Rev 14:9 And 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 third = "another, a third".

beast = i.e. the 2nd beast which is fake jesus.

image of the beast = i.e. the first beast which became a likeness of the system of antichrist in the old age upon fake jesus' arrival. See Rev 13.

mark...hand = see Rev 13.16-18.

Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

The same = he also shall drink.

the wrath of God = God's fury.

without mixture = i.e. undiluted. I.e. not diluted with the traditions of man (man's stories, personal comments, and fairy tales).

cup = i.e. the cup of Matt 26.39. The cup of wrath - there was no other way for this group to learn but the hard way. The Truth of God is the fire that purifies and destroys the diluting (evil) elements.

Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

smoke...torment = See Isa 34.10. The smoke goes up and dissipates into nothing.

for...ever = (aionas aionon) unto ages of ages (gone from all 3 ages).

whosever = if any one.

rest = Christ is our rest (the ark of God). This group never got into the ark of God - they don't have Christ (that window in the ark) to see what is going on with their life. See Gen 6-9. Same angelic beings in the time of Noah.

smoke = turned to ashes from within (disintigrated). Ashes is a Hebrew idiom that means gone forever and ever. If at the end of the millennium you have not overcome - your soul will be destroyed and you will not exist for ever and ever (as well as memories of you - See Rev 20-21). * Notice how this conflicts with how many false teachers teach that God is a torturer and will torture you forever in a furnace. What group do you think those teachers will be in when God visits them? *

Remember that God's judgment brings great reward to those that overcome (reward is in Ezek 44).

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

here are = *omit*.

the faith ... = i.e. the faith that Christ the Living Word gives.

The ones that overcome study and follow God's Word. They are well versed and steadfast in their belief in the Word - they are not deceived by antichrist and his system at the end when Christ returns.

Rev 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Blessed = Blessed because after antichrist arrives, those that die for the true Christ's sake will be the elect. See Rev 11 on the two witnesses.

unto me = *omit*.

that = (hina) in order that.

labours = toilsome labours.

works = rewards.

follow = follow with.

The only thing any person can take with them in death is the works that are done for the Word (Christ's sake). To be able do the works, you must understand the Word of God first, otherwise you will get into God's Way.

Rev 14:14 And 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.

white = i.e. a symbol for purity and innocence.

cloud = i.e. group. See Heb 12.1. Christ with His elect that make up God's army.

golden = a symbol of wealth.

crown = a symbol of authority. I.e. a king.

sickle = a sickle (for harvesting). See the harvest in Matt 13 - parable of the wheat and the tares. The wheat (remnant) is about to be separated from the chaff (kenite mindset). The crushing of the serpent's head of Gen 3.15 is about to occur here.

Rev 14:15 And 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; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

temple = (naos). See Rev 3.12, Matt 8.20.

Him that sat = the One sitting.

time = hour.

for thee = *omit*.

ripe = dried up.

The world is overripe for judgment.

Rev 14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

thrust in = (ballo) cast.

Not one good grain of wheat will be lost - Amos 9.9. The remnant are gathered from the world masses.

Rev 14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

This is the second harvest - for the good grain has been harvested (remnant) and there are only tares left (the masses).

This is the harvest of the grapes (sinners) - where the bodies are likened to grapes. These are those that wallow before fake jesus in the temple area in Jerusalem and Hamangog (Armeggedon and Hamagog)..

Rev 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

fire = the fire. The fire is the Word of God.

cried = (phoneo) he called.

vine = the vine of the earth. See Deut 32.32-33, Isa 34.1-8, Joel 3.12-15, Zeph 3.8, Rev 19.15, Isa 63.1-4.

Notice that you don't sickle grapes (it makes a terrible mess - grapes are to be handled gently). The juice splatters everywhere - Rev 16.21 is in effect here. The temple area is cleansed (Matt 24.2).

Rev 14:19 And 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.

cast = thrust.

The winepress mashes (via Rev 16.21) those that are deceived by Satan in Jerusalem (grapes are mashed).

Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.

without the city = It was illegal to destroy a murderer, idol worshipper, etc, in the temple. What this is saying is that if you believe in deception (traditions of men, antichrist's system) you will never make it into the temple (i.e. obtain eternal life), for you will be dealt with outside of the temple where murderers and thieves are dealth with. Those that call themselves elect ("firstfruits") that worship the false christ - this will expect a reward - and this is what they will get (except that it is outside of the Temple).

city = i.e. Jerusalem.

horse = even the horses of Rev 6 will be included with this destruction - antichrist's system will be destroyed.

1600 furlongs = i.e. about 180-200 miles. Blood will flow in this area around Jerusalem and Hamagog when the hailstones fall.

To escape through this Red Sea (winepress), Death angel (fake jesus), plagues (seals, trumps), the first born dying (false "firstfruits" of antichrist), slavery to Pharoah (antichrist's system), to the promised land (this universe) you must eat the Lamb (meat of God's Word) and stay under His blood (Christ and salvation) and follow the Law of God (Moses). Study the book of Exodus to see the many connections and learn more about this end-time event.

Rev 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

heaven = this is where we are observing, not earth.

seven angels = Occurs 7 times; here v.6,7,8, 16.1, 17.1, 21.9. See Biblical Numerics.

seven ... = "In the 7 angles and 7 plagues we find the completeness of God's wrath."

Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

sea of glass = i.e. a symbol of clarity and purity. Nothing to hide.

fire = i.e. the cleansing fire that is God's Word.

over his mark = *omit*.

beast = the religious beast (fake jesus). See Rev 13.

image = the fake jesus' system (one worldism). See Rev 13.

number = they understood Rev 13.18. They understood the kenite. See Rev 2.9, 3.9.

harps = i.e. they are singing a song in joy (Song of Moses).

Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints.

song of the Lamb = see Ps 86.9-12, Isa 66.15-16,23, Zeph 2.11, Zech14.16+

Almighty = the Almighty.

saints = nations.

This group knows and understands the material contained within the Song of Moses (the song sung by Israel after a battle victory). The secret knowledge allows one the victory over fake jesus and his system of deception.

Rev 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

holy = see Acts 2.27.

judgments = righteous sentence.

manifest = i.e. the judgments have become a reality.

This will occur during the Millennial age. Rewards are passes out to the elect and remnant.

Rev 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

Temple = See Matt 23.16.

The real truth of Christ (the ark - this Word) poured out on the people.

Rev 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

plagues = compare to the plagues of Moses in Exodus.

seven = i.e. completeness of the wrath of God. See Biblical Numerics.

white = i.e. symbol of innocence, purity.

in...linen = "with precious stone pure and bright". This is the real Rock of Deut 32. See stones. "Our Rock is not their rock".

Rev 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

beasts = see Rev 4.6.

vials = see Rev 5.8.

for...ever = to the ages of the ages. See Three eons study.

Rev 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

no man = (oudeis) no one.

power = i.e. the Godhead was defacto present.

The door of heaven (where God is) is shut during the reign of antichrist. These plagues will not affect those that stand with the true Christ.

Rev 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

Go your ways = (hupago) Go forth.

God is pouring the grapes into the winepress. (Continued from last chapter - the winepress of God's wrath). See Rev 11.13 also.

Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his image.

went = went forth.

fell = came.

sore = (helkos) ulcer. Only here, vs 11, and Luke 16.21.

upon them = *omit*.

which worshipped = those worshipping.

This group is those that are deceived by fake jesus. This sore is the mental anguish that occurs when one realizes that they have been duped by a fake jesus and materialism.

mark of the beast, image = see Rev 13 for explanation.

Rev 16:3 And 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.

angel = *omit*.

sea = see Rev 17.15. Symbol for the worldwide masses of people.

The masses of people will die a spiritual death and they are considered spiritually dead to God, for they will have to work for redemption in the millennium. Don't be a part of this (red) sea of the winepress - stay in the ark of God (His Word). This group is part of the apostasy from Christ.

Rev 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

God's elect will be utilized in a sense (as to witnessing) to bring about these spiritual plagues on the people. Rev 11.6 - the witnesses teach the real Truth and it makes the flood waters (masses) unhappy (crushed grapes). Ezek 37 - some of the dead bones are brough back to life upon hearing the Truth (remnant), the others have their doom sealed (i.e. one man shall spiritually slay a thousand - Deut 32.30). The vial of deception (and spiritual death) is poured on the masses in the form of fake jesus and his system.

Rev 16:5 And 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.

and shalt be = Thou Holy One.

It is just and good for God to allow the masses to wallow in front of a false God and follow it's system of material worship in the overall scheme of things. See study on three eons.

Rev 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Matt 23 - those that become part of the Kenite system and follow the Kenite doctrine.

Rev 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments.

another out of = *omit*.

This is the message of the masses (waters) of vs 5.

An act of love for God to correct His children to draw their attention to Him.

Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

sun = the source of light for the earth, symbol for the Truth of God's Word. Christ is the consuming fire (Deut 4.24) - the fire that purifies away the evil elements. See Rev 11.5. See study on stars.

Rev 16:9 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.

name of God = Rev 19.13. See names of God study.

See Zech 4 - the truth (fire) flows from the 7-stemmed lamp.

repented not = i.e. because they don't believe they are doing anything wrong in following the doctrine of fake jesus.

Rev 16:10 And 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,

seat = throne. the seat is in Jerusalem (Mt Zion). See 2Thess2. The deception of antichrist will cause the spiritual death of the world's masses (but the blinding ignorance is their cloak) and much mental pain when the true Christ arrives (for they have worshipped a false god).

beast = the religious second beast of Rev 13 (imitation jesus).

darkness = i.e. symbol for deception, ignorance. See Rom 11:8-10. Blinded by God on purpose - fake jesus is the tool of God.

Rev 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

They don't repent (change their minds) because they think they are doing right. They are blinded (Rom 11:8-11).

Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel 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.

that = (hina) in order that.

kings = kings that come.

the east = i.e. the rising of the sun. The kings of the East are the kings of Babylon (Babylon East of Israel). Babylon means confusion. Satan and his angelic followers will bring this confusion to the world masses.

The water that bounds Babylon and Israel dries up so there is no more boundary - they are one in the name nation (a nation of one-worldism). The city Babylon (mark of the Beast is confusion) has no boundaries when fake jesus' deception occurs - for it will encompass and take over the entire earth. Satan is the king of confusion (Babylon).

Rev 16:13 And 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.

dragon = see Rev 12.3. A name for Satan.

false prophet = (pseudoprophetes) See 19.20, 20.10. Not an individual, but a name for deception; i.e. the lie.

Here is the opposite of the Trinity - the unholy trinity (3 frogs): Satan as antichrist, his one-world system (religious, political, educational, economical), and his deception (the lie). Just like God - one entity, 3 offices held.

Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

devils = demons. I.e. powerful traducers.

the earth and = *omit*.

Almighty = the Almighty.

The world masses are not mentally prepared for the miracles of Satan's apostles. Its hard to stand against a one-world peace system with wonderful technology.

Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

come = i.e. see 1Thess5.2. The true Christ comes in as a large surprise to the masses (because they think He is already there!) - not "at any moment" like some false teachers teach..

lest = in order that (hina) not.

shame = Only used here and Rom1.27.

garments = doesn't stain their garments with fake jesus' deception of Satan's system.

naked = your righteous acts make up your garments on the Lord's Day (millennium). Don't be caught naked and ashamed.

Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

tongue = *omit*.

Armageddon = (harmagedon) mount of Megeddio. Means "the gathering place of the crowd". See Judges 5.19+, Isa 10.28.

The crowd is in Jerusalem worshipping fake jesus and his system and the place will be turned to sand (cleansed) to make room and way for the millennial temple of the True Christ. See Matt 24:2.

Rev 16:17 And 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.

of heaven = *omit*.

This is the beginning of the day of the Lord. See Rev 1.10. See Millennium.

Rev 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.

voices... = "lightnings, and voices, and thunders". See Rev 4.5.

earthquake = Occurs 7 times in Revelation. A catastrophe of some sort. See Rev 6.12. The wrath of God is complete - see Biblical Numerics on the number 7. The one world system (nation, mountain) is over with this event.

Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

great city = i.e. Jerusalem.

cities... = i.e. the one-world system under fake jesus falls - Christ is now in control.

great Babylon = See Dan 4.30.

came... = was remembered.

fierceness = (thumos) wrath.

cup of the wine = See study on wine. See Isa 51.22-23. The same cup of wrath spoken by Christ in Matt 26.39, Luke 22.42.

Rev 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

island, mountains = a symbol of nations (of the world). See the study on mountains. These are the mountains (the one-world system) you can personally take a part in moving that Christ spoke of in Matt 17.20, 21.21, Mark 11.23. Same as in Rev 8.8. They are specific mountains - i.e. they are the system of deception of antichrist (which include the traditions of men, fairy tales, materialism) .

At this time there will only be one nation - the established kingdom of Christ on earth.

Rev 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

talent = 100-180 pound hailstones that will turn mount Zion and the surrounding areas to sand. This catastrophe destroys the 7000 fallen angels of Jude physically and spiritually, it destroys the deception (the false prophet) in peoples minds as to who is God, and wipes out the one-world system (economic, religious, educational, and political) under fake jesus.

Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

seven angels...vials = see 15.7.

unto me = *omit*.

whore = i.e. symbol of the city of Jerusalem (The Holy City). See vs 18. The holy city is whoring around after false gods. Cp Jer 50.32.

waters = symbolic of the world masses. See vs 15.

Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

wine = see study on wine. This wine is a intermixed wine (poisoned communion) which is symbolic of a poisoned doctrine that teaches that the fake jesus is God. You commit apostasy (adultery) against the true wife (Christ) when you partake of this poison.

Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

a woman = i.e. Jerusalem (the Holy City of vs 18).

scarlet covered = i.e. very religious and "holy" looking. The fake christ is there!

blasphemy = antichrist blasphemes against God in the temple of God. See Dan 11.36-38 for this event.

seven heads = See vs 7. The heads are mountains which symbolize all 7 continents (i.e. world-wide religious system - all nations included). Don't let someone fool you into believing that this is the 7 hills of Rome - that is a falsehood. John was not thinking about Rome - he was taken to the future to see these events. See Rev 1.10.

horns = i.e. symbol of 10 kings. See vs 12 for more info.

Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Jerusalem (the woman) is really decked out after the arrival of antichrist. The city is made very wealthy with the miracles of fake jesus after he arrives - i.e. streets of gold, gems in the walls, etc. Very ornate and very religious looking!

Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Jerusalem is now Babylon ("confusion" to God's Word). The city is fully entrenched in religious devotion to Satan and his system of materialism and "heaven" on earth.

Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

The same Kenite doctrine that turned people into murderers of the elect and remnant of God throughout the ages. The defense against this doctrine is only the Word of God in your brain (forehead). See Matt 23.29-39.

Rev 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

There is no need to wonder about this - here is the explanation of the vision.

Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

beast = i.e. Satan as fake jesus and his system.

was, and is not = i.e. the system existed in the old world age, it doesn't exist now, but will exist again when Satan (who is sentenced to the pit in Rev 20) returns soon as fake jesus.

perdition = i.e. after Satan's hour (less than 3 1/2 yrs) the system will be gone never to reappear again.

wonder = i.e. why? They are blinded - see Rom11.8-10. Don't be wondering (confused) to God's Word.

whose names were not written = Why aren't they written? Because of their deeds in the old age God will not allow them to understand His Word in this flesh age. See study on Three eons.

book of life = the Book that gives eternal life which is this Word.

foundation = i.e. the beginning of this flesh age.

was, is not, and yet is = here we see the old age. The system existed on a mostly universal scale in the old age, didn't exist during the flesh age on a world-wide scale until the arrival of fake jesus in Jerusalem in the near-future.

Rev 17:9 And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

mountains = i.e. symbol of continents. The city Jerusalem is the head of spiritual government that covers the globe. Satan and his angelic beings will be God to the world - and he will do the acts of God to prove it to mankind. (but it is borrowed power - See Rev 9.4).

Rev 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, [and] the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

seven kings = seven powers

5 = a number symbolic of grace. Grace has falled upon the arrival of antichrist. See Biblical Numerics.

one is = i.e. one is (continuing) at this stage of the vision. I.e. the sixth ruler is fake jesus. 6 is the number of sin.

not yet come = i.e. the 7th ruler is Christ (The Millennium). Notice the week of God in this verse - 6000 rs from Adam, and the 1000 year Millennial regin of Christ.

Rev 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

is of the seven = the seven heads of vs.9, not the seven kings. I.e. this is the beast that is the world-wide system of antichrist that covers the globe (all 7 continents) and will be destroyed when Christ returns - never to return again.

Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

ten kings = these kings take power as delegated from antichrist after he arrives - not before. These ten kings are are the same rulers of Dan 7.19-27. These 10 may be angelic disciples (from Jude) that name themselves after God's leaders (i.e. Michael, Moses, David, Matthew, Luke, Gabriel, John, Abraham, Joshua, etc). It is important to note that these 10 rulers don not take power until after antichrist (the religious beast) arrives.

Rev 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

give = i.e. of their own free will. These are the disciples of fake jesus. Satan loves to copy - See the generation of the Kenites in Gen 4.

Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and 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.

Gen 3.15 will be fulfilled - those 7 heads which become one head (Satan's system) will be crushed upon His arrival.

Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

water is symbolic of the people and nations of the world. Are we not essentially walking water bags that God created with a miracle?

Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Fake jesus' system will desolate Jerusalem of any Truth whatsoever (for he is the abomination of desolation of Matt 24.15, Dan 11.31. Satan hates the Truth of God's Word and seeks to destroy it by perverting it in any way possible to people's minds. Satan's best method of perversion is duplication. The spiritual destruction of mankind to God is complete.

fire = the strange fire that is strange doctrine. Get the gospel armour on to withstand this attack. See study on fire.

Rev 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

It is God's will that this event occur as instruction to His children. The blinded will have a chance at changing their standing with God by works in the millennium. God loves his children - and a good father will teach his children through love and discipline the path to happiness.

Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

the great city = i.e. God's favorite place which is Jerusalem ( a symbol for all the earth ultimately).

Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

after = see Rev 1.19.

glory = i.e. lightened with the real Truth.

Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, 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.

mightily = with a mighty voice.

Babylon...fallen = see 14.8, Isa 21.9, Jer 51.8.

devils = i.e. evil traducers, powerful traducers.

hold = prison, cage.

foul = unclean.

bird = even a fly-away rapture. See the lie.

Babylon may look good on the outside - real "religious", gold streets, sweet smells, etc - but look inside and see spiritual destruction, deception, lies, divination, and hate. Satan floods the world with this Babylon is riding the dragon that chases the true Israel (real believers) into the wilderness (Rev12 - chasing the other woman).

Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

wine...wrath = furious wine. I.e. bad doctrine.

all nations = all 7 continents.

through= by.

delicacies = (strenos) luxury. Very much materialistic and luxury-oriented with the system of fake jesus.

It is implied here that Jerusalem will become the headquarters of spiritualism, the habitation of the powerful traducers, and the stronghold of the unclean spirits (of Jude). Jer 50 and 51 are carefully connected with these 2 chapters.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Come = come forth.

My people = See Jer 50.4-9, Isa 10.20, 24.

that = (hina) in order that.

plagues = (plege) See 13.3.

God calls His own (through His elect) to come out of this deception (Babble from Babylon) - notice that they don't call themselves out.

Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

reached = built together. See Gen 11 - the Tower of Babel.

unto = up to.

God is about to take action.

Rev 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

reward = render. Cp Mark 12.7, Jer 51.21.

rewarded = rendered.

you = *omit* and supply *others*.

double = this word is put for full compensation.

unto her = *omit*.

hath filled, fill = mixed, mix.

"Don't have any mercy on her."

cup = cup of deception. Same as mark of the beast (deception) number (666). 666 doubled is 1332. In Dan 12.12 it states "blessed are those that come to the 1335th day" - i.e. which is 3 days later. This mingled cup is a mixture of all things Satan and his system produces (pain, tears, lies). See study on wine. See study on dates.

Rev 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

I sit = See Isa 47.8.

queen = a queen who is not a widow, implying a king-consort.

"I'm a married woman, not a widow!" (Christ is to be the bride - not queen Babylon). See study on Marriage of the Lamb.

Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who judgeth her.

Therefore = for this cause.

come = i.e. suddenly. Same word in 2Pet3.10.

strong = mighty.

judgeth = judged. See Isa 13.20, Jer.50.13, 39, 40, 51.29,37,43.

fire = God is a consuming fire . Deut 4:24.

Rev 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

This group had a good deal going - they were using her (Rev 17.16) for their benefit. From this verse until vs 16, we see how those 10 kings stand for the people, the merchandise, and the usury of this global system under fake jesus. 10 a symbol for law, system.

Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

hour = It doesn't take God very long to achieve His wrath upon this system (the 11th hour of Matt 25). God's elect (the other woman that is married to the True Christ) comes out of the wilderness to reign with the True King of Kings (they weren't part of this "big party").

Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

no man = (oudeis) no one.

buyeth = (agorazo) redeemed.

any = no.

more = (ouketi) longer.

Notice that this group is not weeping for her, but for the merchandise they have lost (i.e. fake love).

Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

precious = (timios). See study on stones.

thyine wood = i.e. sweet wood, good smelling. This group needed these physical things to cover up the stench from the filth (deception). How good and sweet the system looks on the outside! How filthy and rotten the system is on the inside! Lets look and see what is on the inside....

Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

beasts = cattle.

chariots = (rheda) 4-wheeled vehicles. I.e. cars (a sign of luxury).

slaves = (soma) bodies. I.e. bodies of men.

souls of men = men. See Num 31.35, IChr5.21, Ezek27.13.

Satan wants company - he is already condemned to die. Will you sell out to him for "gain"?

Rev 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

that...after = of thy soul's desire.

departed = perished.

thou... = "and they (men) shall never more at all find them."

fruits = (opora) the fig. Remember the fruits in the garden of Eden (paradise) - one Tree had eternal life, the other Tree was poison and seductive. Understand Gen 2-4. This word also means "dog days" - The hour is that time they felt they could conquer all (including exploration into the universe by means of the vehicles of fake jesus) and the True Christ rips it away from them at their height of ecstasy and the whole system (Babylon) falls, and we have the victory.

Rev 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

Notice the entire earth is not destroyed - just Mt Zion and Hamangog. The merchants and the rest of the world masses watches via TV and the destruction takes place before their eyes.

Rev 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

and = *omit*.

Alas! Alas! = Woe! Woe!

stones = See study on stones. That precious Kenite doctrine of deception. "Their rock is not our Rock" Deut 32.

The entire thing was for show (external love) - and it looked so religious!

Rev 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

come... = as "made desolate" , vs.19.

all...ships = the texts read "every one that saileth any whither.", indicating travelers of all kinds.

trade...sea = work of the sea, i.e. for a living. Sea is symbolic of the masses (Rev 17.15) - i.e. they worked the masses over (out of their souls, ultimately). Type of a con-artist.

Rev 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great city!

when... = as they looked upon.

unto = *omit*.

They had put everything they had into the riches of the world instead of the riches of God's Word.

Rev 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

ships = the ships. A symbol for commerce.

one hour = See Isa 47.11, 17, Jer 50.19, 26, Jer 51.8. This is the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

is = was.

Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

holy = saints and. No man is holy except Christ.

hath avenged = judged your judgment, i.e. hath fully avenged you.

Fulfills Rev 6 - those waiting for the avenging.

Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

violence = (hormema) furious rush.

no more at all = used 6 times here. This system will never return again.

at all = Cp. Jer 51.64, Exek 26.21.

This is the millstone that grinds the people to death slowly the Christ alludes to in Matt 18.6, Mark 9.42, Luke 17.2. Confusion (Babylon) to the Word of God will never again reign in the universe.

Rev 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft [he be], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

This group had the best in music and entertainment - they were addicted to it. It was a very entertainment-driven society. There was a lot of play-churching going on. The millstone represents the 4 hidden dynasties influenced by Kenite doctrine (economic, political, religious, and educational).

Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

candle = lamp. Lit with the strange fire of false doctrine.

sorceries = sorcery.

nations = the nations.

deceived = Cp. Isa 47.9.

bride = See marriage of the Lamb study. Babylon (the adulterous woman) will not exist anymore.

Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

blood = see Matt 23.2-36, John 8.44. The kenite influence (i.e. a state of mind - deception).

Rev 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

and = *omit*.

heard = as it were.

Alleluia = Praise Yah! See Ps 104.35.

Salvation = The Salvation.

and honor = *omit*.

power = the power.

unto... = of our God.

Rev 19:2 For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

Rev 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

rose = goeth.

smoke...ever = i.e. it does not exist anymore. It is like the smoke rising off a furnace - it goes up and dissipates into nothingness. Do not believe any lie about "burning for ever", etc.

Rev 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

elders = See Rev 4.

beasts = (zoa) See 4.6.

That sat = the One sitting.

Amen = so be it.

Rev 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

servants = see Ps.134.

Rev 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

God = our God.

Omnipotent = The Omnipotent.

Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

marriage of the Lamb = see study on marriage. See Matt 22.2+, Gen 29.22, Est1.5, 2.8, 9.22.

marriage = marriage-feast.

Lamb = i.e Christ.

wife = His people - i.e. Israel (in mind).

Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

clean and white = bright and pure.

saints = the saints. The elect and remnant. See Acts 9.13.

The linen you wear in God's Kingdom on earth is the righteous acts (work) you accomplish. If you have no works, you are naked.

Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

called...Lamb = See Ps45.14.

supper = (deipnon) marriage-feast.

Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

at = before.

"I am just a man like you (but in a spiritual body), get up!"

testimony = See Rev 1.2.

prophecy = Occurs 7 times in Revelation. See 1.3. See Biblical Numerics on the number 7.

Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

white horse = Contrast with the rider in Rev6.2. Horse is a symbol of power. White is a symbol of cleanliness.

He that sat... = See Zech 9.9,10. Both advents of Christ mentioned. The first on an ass (Matt21.4-11, the second on a white horse). See Ps 45.

Rev 19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

were as = are.

fire = Deut 4.24. See study on fire. Symbol of the Truth here. His eyes pierce the souls and see the secret things of a man.

crowns = diadems. See Rev 12.3, 13.1.

knew = (oida) to know without effort. You must put forth effort (work) to understand the Word of God.

Rev 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

dipped = (bapto) dyed, stained. Luke 16.24, John 13.26.

in = with. Isa 9.5, 63.1-6.

called = announced.

Christ is the Living Word - This Living Word that you are studying right now.

Rev 19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Rev 19:15 And 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: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

See Ps 2.9, Isa 11.4, 49.2, 63.3

rule = (poimaino) shepherd. See 2.27, 7.17, 12.5.

rod = sceptre. Ps 2.9. There will be strict discipline in the millennial age.

and = "of the Almighty".

Rev 19:16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

KING...LORDS = See 17.14. The fulfillment of Ps.2. Every knee shall bow!

Rev 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

the supper...God = the great supper of God.

Rev 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both small and great.

What do the elect inherit? The answer is in Ezek 44.28.

Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

war = See 16.14. The one-world system is about to get it's just desserts from this army.

Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

taken = arrested. (like an officer)

false prophet = i.e. false teachings, deception. The borrowed power of God is returned.

cast... = See Dan 7.11.

mark of the beast = see Rev 13.18.

beast = i.e. Satan in the role of fake jesus.

image = i.e. the one-world system with the 4 hidden dynasties.

cast...brimstone = i.e. a figure of speech for destroyed. I.e. gone forever (as the smoke dissipates in vs 3).

Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

remnant = i.e. the remainder. I.e. the world masses. All the people on the earth are transformed into a spiritual body ("in a twink of an eye" - 1Cor 15) and their flesh bodies fall down besides themselves and starts to rot. These people are spiritually in bad shape with God and must work hard to recoup what they lost during the millennial age. God thinks that they are the equivalent of rotting flesh - i.e. good for nothing.

Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

angel = messenger.

in = upon.

Most likely Michael - since he was guarding Satan's cell (and the beings of Jude) before Satan and friends were released on to the earth.

Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

thousand years = i.e. millennium.

Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

should ... = should not deceive.

season = time. This is a jail cell that Satan will be contained in during this time. He will be loosed yet again at the end of the millennium for another test of the world masses - but will not have any power or any one-world system to manipulate.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

hey = I.e Christ and His elect. Matt 25.31, 1 Tim 5.21.

was given = The elect are given authority to reward, sentence, and judge the masses.

them = i.e. those that were killed. Would you be willing to be killed by the fake jesus for the sake of the Word of God? See two witnesses of Rev 11.

witness = testimony.

This group is the elect of God that will reign with Christ over the earth. Duties are described in Ezek 44+. Which group do you want to be in during this time? This group never once believed that fake jesus or his system was in alignment to God's Word - they were not deceived at all.

Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.

But = *omit*.

first resurrection = i.e. the resurrection of the saints (i.e. the elect obtain eternal life). The condition of the physical body is separate from the condition of the soul (what God really cares about).

The world masses are considered by God as spiritually dead during these 1000 years. The masses will have a chance to redeem themselves by work (not faith anymore - for they have seen Christ) and take part in the second resurrection (Rev 21) at the end of the millennium. God considers this mass of people (although they are in spiritual bodies) as filth until they pass the test of God. Read more about this time in Ezek 44+.

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Blessed = (makarious) 48th occurrence in NT.

on such = over these.

Those that take part in the first resurrection of the saints (i.e. the elect and remnant) will have obtained eternal life - so they can never die. The second death is the death of the soul (destruction of the soul), the first death is the death of the flesh. Those that don't take part in the first resurrection (world masses) are still eligible for the death of the soul at the end of the 1000 years of discipline - for God considers their soul in bad condition. Eternal life is earned during this time by the spiritually dead through works.

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

God will again test the world masses at the end of the 1000 years.

Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.

Gog and Magog = i.e. put for all unclean people and nations. All the peoples of the earth that have not earned eternal life, but willingly (and full knowledge of the Word) choose self-love, materialism, and deception over God's Word.

battle = war. A useless gesture.

sand of the sea = Even God does not even understand why someone would not choose the love of God's Word over another's - but this very large group sadly does. Amazing.

Rev 20:9 And 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.

beloved city = Jerusalem.

These souls are instantly destroyed forever - disintegration of this group. We don't want them around at this time - they understood the Word and did not choose it - they chose themselves (creation) instead and knowingly reject God and Christ.

Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

beast, false prophet = See 19.20.

are = No verb here. Read "were cast". I.e. they were destroyed 1000 yrs ago from this point, they are not there at all. A slight mistranslation from the Greek scripts.

lake of fire ... = i.e. Satan is destroyed and his soul is disintegrated (gone for ever).

tormented...ever and ever = i.e. Hebraism for "gone forever". I.e. they don't exist anywhere anymore. They are as the smoke of the furnace of Rev 19.3. The same smoke of Isa34:10 - the smoke dissipates into nothingness as it ascends. Don't let some so-called "man of God" con you into believing God is a torturer - that is a lie directly from Satan himself - for it turns many non-Christians away from wanting the love the the KING OF KINGS and understanding His Word.

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

great = Rev 4.2-6 this was in heaven - now it approaches earth. The The Great White Throne judgment of God.

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

God = the texts say "the throne".

All the masses that remain are judged on the basis of their works in the millennium (for there is no more faith - the masses have physically seen Christ). Who are the masses judged by? Ezek 44.23-24 and Rev 20.4 provides the answer; not God but the elect make the decision to grant eternal life or not to the masses - the elect judges the people worthy.

Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

sea = i.e. the world masses (Rev 17.15).

works = twice for emphasis. The emphasis in the millennium will be only on what you do, never what you say. You will be judged by this measure if you are in this group.

Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

death...fire = i.e. after this judgment, there will no longer be any meaning to the word death - for it cannot occur (Rev 21.4).

second death = i.e. the first death was of the flesh - the second death is of the soul.

Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

whosoever = i.e. any one.

book of life = i.e. Word of God (judged by).

Any one that doesn't have enough works in the millennium will be destroyed - disintegrated and gone forever (and the memory of them will be erased forever as well - Rev 21:4). It will be as if that individual had never existed - for there will be no memory of that person in anybody's minds..

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

new heaven = See Isa 51.16, 65.17, 66.22, 2Pet3.7.

new = "rejuvinated". I.e. a renewal.

first heavens and first earth = i.e. age. This is the beginning of the 3rd earth age - the age we long for. The age of partaking the universe.

Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

new Jerusalem = Heb 12.22.

bride = see study on marriage.

Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.

heaven = "the throne".

dwell = (skenoo) tabernacle.

with them = Ex 29.36, Zech 2.10, 11, 8.3. God's promise to dwell among His people with restores Israel (all those around at this time). The fulfillment of Isa 7.14, Matt 1.23 - "God is with us". (IMMANUEL)

people = peoples (i.e. nations).

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Isa 25.7,8, Jer 31.16.

I.e. all painful memories of the previous ages will be erased - including the memories of those souls destroyed in the lake of fire (disintegrated).

Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

new = renewed. The earth is physically rejuvinated. (i.e. return of extinct species, dinosaurs, plants, etc).

Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

It is done = "They are come to pass". i.e. compare 16.17.

Alpha... = See 1.8.

freely = John 15.25.

Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

overcometh = last of 17 occurrences in Rev. See Rev 2.7.

We will be caretakers of His unlimited and diverse universe.

Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

fearful = only here, Matt 8.26, and Mark 4.40.

abominable = Only here and in Rom 2.22.

sorcerers = Here and 22.15. Witchcraft. Modern "spiritualists".

all liars = all the false. I.e. all those that teach deception.

second death = i.e. the death of soul. A painless death - fast and quick.

Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

unto me = *omit*.

seven...plagues = See 15.1.

bride = See Matt 10.35, Luke 12.53, John 3.29, Rev 18.23, 22.17. The wife here is all the nations (masses) who were judged acceptable. The "wife" of Rev 9.7 is just the elect (faithful Israel). See Ps 45, Jer 3.14.

See study on marriage.

Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

that great = *omit*. Supply "the holy city Jerusalem".

Rev 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

stone = see stones study. This the the real Rock of Deut 32. Clear and perfect - no deception.

Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

twelve gates = Ezek 48.31-34. All people are symbolised of this Israel.

Rev 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

12 = See Biblical Numerics.

Rev 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

golden reed = golden reed for a measure.

Rev 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

The Holy City is a perfect cube of 12,000 furlongs (about 24,000,000 yards or approx 15,000 miles). In Solomon's Temple, a perfect cube of 20 cubits was the size of the "Holy of Holies".

Rev 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

144 cubits = i.e. about 300 feet. See Ezek 43.13.

Rev 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass.

building = material.

gold = symbolic of wealth, riches.

clear class = symbolic of Truth and clarity.

Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

jasper... = I.e. the stones in the breastplate of a priest (Aaron) of God. Ex 28.17-21.

Rev 21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

as it were = i.e. not glass, but gold of a kind unknown to us. Materials that have not been experienced by man.

Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

Temple of it = The Millennial Temple of Ezek 45.2+ has passed away. This is the third age. See eons study.

This replaces the Jerusalem on earth and merges with the rejuvinated earth.

Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.

need = See Isa 60.19, 20.

in = on.

I.e. the universe exists - but Christ is the light of the universe only (the truth). There is no darkness (deception) that God will ever allow to reign. Those in this age will be the caretakers of God's infinite universe.

Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

of...saved = *omit*.

kings... = notice there is some order and structure set.

Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

This kingdom will be eternal.

Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

nations = i.e. See Matt 25.31-46. All peoples (ethnos) included that make it to this age.

Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

that defileth = unclean.

worketh...lie = make a lying abomination, i.e. an idol. This group has their priority straight - The Truth of Christ is #1. See 17.5.

Lamb's book of life = i.e. See Rev 13.8.

Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

throne = See Zech.6.13. The throne of the Priest-King. See Bloodline of Christ study. In the Millennium (earlier) the river proceeds from the house of the Throne. Compare Ezek 47.1-11.

Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations.

tree = See Trees study. (xulon) A symbol here for the Living Word. The same tree of life that was rejected in the garden (Gen 2-3)

healing = See Ezek 47.12. Restoring and preserving the health of the universe (our jobs). We are caretaker God's infinite universe during this time - there is a lot out there!

Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

curse = cursed thing. See Zech 14.11.

Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads.

foreheads = i.e. they will know His Word (in their brain) and His commands. I.e. this same Word that we are reading.

Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

An eternal kingdom of God in place.

Rev 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings [are] faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

shortly = See Rev 1.1-6. "at hand". John was taken to the time of the fake jesus.

Rev 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

blessed = happy. Do you want to be happy in this earth age? Or do you want to fly blind?

keepeth = i.e. keep in your mind and meditate upon them. See John 17.6.

Rev 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

Rev 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Even John succumbed to angle worship - be very careful that you don't. God is a jealous God - worship Him only.

"I'm just a simple man like you - but I'm in a spiritual body."

Rev 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

"Don't hide these sayings - leave them open to all."

Rev 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

unjust = unrighteous.

filthy = morally defiled. "Let them wallow in it."

be righteous = work righteous. I.e. do righteous works (not self-righteous).

holy = sanctified. I.e. be repentant to God. Do not be "holy" - no man is holy (little mistranslation).

Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Notice that Christ awards according to works. If you works are small in the Word - your reward will be also (and vice-versa). Don't be spiritually naked. See garments study. Don't let a fake teacher ruse you that works are not important (i.e just "believe" and that's all). God doesn't appreciate those that teach this (although they mean well...the road to hell is lined with good intentions). Check it out for yourself.

Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

See Rev 1.8.

Rev 22:14 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.

Blessed = 50th use of this word in the NT. See Biblical Numerics. First is in Deut 33.29.

do = God likes action (doers), not talkers. You have to know His Word to be able to do it, otherwise you may get in His way (and pay a price).

Rev 22:15 For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

dogs = i.e. put for unclean. Applied to a class of servants to Ashtoreth (a god of fertility).

lie = See the lie.

If you are part of this group at the end of the millennium - you won't be here in this age. You won't exist anymore. "Bye-bye."

Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star.

I = here the Lord Jesus Christ is speaking.

Offspring = See Acts 17.28.

David = See Rev 3.7, 5.5.

Star = See the stars. See Num 24.17.

Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Its freely up to you - you choose your course.

Rev 22:18 For 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:

God doesn't like for man to add words to His Word, or to change the context of a verse, or change the subject of a verse. God will destroy those that create and teach mingled wine. This statement shows the completeness and finality of the last book of God's Word which is this Revelation of John. Be wary of any other words that some person/group says to be God's Word - for it is not. Don't get off track, derail, and crash and burn due to some "good intentions" of others. Stay safe and in this Word of God.

Rev 22:19 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.

book of life = Tree of Life (in the manuscripts). I.e. Christ Himself.

Don't alter/withhold/distort the Truth of God purposely for your own power/gain. God will utterly disintegrate your soul if you purposely deceive another to God's Word/plan. This is very serious, and He will not have mercy.

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

quickly = the 7th and last warning by the Lord of His return. See Biblical Numerics. 7 is "spiritual completeness".

Rev 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.

Amen = "so be it". The Word of God finalized.
