Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The Revelation Churches
Who are the Christians in Revelation?
-
Found in Revelation Chapters 2-3
-
These seven Churches are the literal churches of Asia Minor, but they also represent both the spiritual condition of all churches, throughout all of history; and the spiritual condition of individual Christians. The letters are a spiritual "health check"; the letter that speaks to you is where you stand. Each letter gives the failing church the proper solution to recover themselves from their snare, or the method to continue standing strong for Christ. Each letter ends with the proclamation of Christ, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches." this means that you will spiritually hear the letter that applies to you.
-
Ephesus​​
-
This angel (pastor) is failing, Jesus Christ said he "Left his first love". Because of this, the congregation is dangerously close to leaving the Church. ​
-
-
Smyrna
-
This angel is succeeding, but he and the congregation are about to be put through tribulation and testing by Satan and the city of Smyrna, this is in order to test and see if the pastor and congregation are the genuine article. This Church is in the presence of Satan's seat, that is, a large Satanic altar.​
-
-
Pergamum
-
This angel is a strong Christian, but he is failing his congregation; he is not rebuking false teachers and the congregation is leaving the Church to join these rival groups.​
-
-
Thyatira
-
This angel possess a strong congregation, but he is allowing false teachers to teach false doctrines within the Church. This church is trying to have it all, the world and Christ.​
-
-
Sardis
-
This angel and his congregation appear to be good Christians on the surface, the city speaks well of them, and they are wealthy, but Jesus warns the angel that he is spiritually dead.​
-
-
Philadelphia
-
Both the angel and the congregation are standing strong in Christ. This Church receives no rebuke from Jesus Christ, but only a warning; to be careful not to lose what they already possess. This is the Church that does not have to go through the hour of testing (the Great Tribulation).​
-
-
Laodicea
-
This angel and the congregation under his care are lukewarm, that is, they are compromising and stand for nothing. Jesus claims that he is outside, knocking on the door, and he will come in if they open the door. This is a Church where Jesus Christ is on the outside.​
-
The THings Thou Hast Seen
John tells us of the Son of Man's appearance.
John tells us of the Throne Room.
John tells us of the judgement of the earth.
The THings Which Are
The THings Which Shall Be Hereafter
Rev_4:1 is the start of this.
Daniel: The Statue and the Rock
-
This is a dream of King Nebuchadnezzar
-
The meaning is withheld and the king attempts to discern the meaning through mystics and wisdom.
-
The king puts forth a test: Tell me my dream and it's interpretation.
-
The king puts forth a threat:
-
The Image:
-
The Head of gold.
-
The Breast and Arms of silver.
-
The Belly and Thighs of bronze.
-
The Legs of iron.
-
The Feet, part of iron and part of clay.
-
-
The Stone, cut out without hands.
-
M.O.G. Notes: All sections stay after the next is in place. This is strange because each section represents a kingdom that fell. The spiritual side of this dream may be more important than the immediate historic parallel.
The Rock destroys all that came before, this again shows all sections are part of the whole.
Immediate parallel is history, as each section represents a coming conquering kingdom which is both less glorious and more common, but more durable and powerful than the last: gold to silver to bronze to iron to clay mingled with iron to rock. Strange that the head is the first, if this is a construct, as you would think that the order would be reversed.

- 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.
- ​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.
- And I (John) 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.

-
The Two Witnesses
-
Rev_11:1-14​
-
They are during the second woe.
-
..."And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth."
-
They are in the court of the temple
-
They will prophesy 1260 days (3.5 years)
-
They are the two olive trees
-
They are the two candlesticks
-
They are clothed in sackcloth
-
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.
-
After the 1260 Days:
-
Rev 11:7-13 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
-
The city seems to be Jerusalem.
-
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.​

The Groups of Men who hide once the Sixth Seal is unsealed
-
Rev_6:12
-
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 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; 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: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? ​
-
Who Are The Twenty-Four Elders?
-
M
-
​
-
Who Are The Two Witnesses?
Testing the Theories:
-
Moses and Elijah: The Law and The Prophets:
-
For: Moses represent the Law and Elijah represents the
-
For: Both Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus in the clouds, this could be foreshadowing.​
-
Against: Moses died. Elijah may have died through John the Baptist.
-
Perhaps these individuals will come in the spirit and power of Moses and Elijah?​
-
-
-
Daniel and John: The two end-time Prophets:
-
For: They were the two prophets who saw visions of the end.​
-
For: They could represent both the Old Testament and the New Testament as Daniel and John are seen as the major end-time prophets.
-
For: Daniel was told to "seal the vision for a time far off" and John was told to "eat the scroll" to "preach one last time", these events may mean that they are to preach one more time.
-
For: Jesus said "what if this lived until I return, what is it to you?" speaking about John.
-
For: Both were exiles and foreigners, e.g. Daniel in Babylon and John on Patmos.
-
Against: Both men died.
-
-
Enoch and Elijah: The two that did not die:
-
For: All must die and then judgement, these two men did not die on earth. (Heb_9:27)​
-
For: Both were righteous men in an unrighteous time, i.e. the generations killed by the flood, and Ahab's rule over Israel.
-
Against: John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah and died, does this mean that Elijah has died?
-
Some believes that Enoch never saw death (as people dying), but he did died normally; if this is true, then Enoch did die.
-
-
-
Twelve-thousand of the tribes of Dan and Ephraim: The two tribes not named in Revelation:
-
For: Not named in the remnant.​
-
Against: Perhaps not named because they are not righteous, or because they have lost their identity
-
Against: Joseph may be a replacement for Ephraim, as Joseph is not named a tribe due to the double-inheritance of the firstborn -- instead his two children each became a tribe.
-
Against: It sounds like individuals in a city, not two groups across the earth.
-
Against: These two tribes may be the Jews who are not Jews, those named in Revelation 2-3.
-
-
Two of the Churches named in Revelation Letters:​
-
For: If rapture happens and leaves those congregations who were not ready, then the righteous may be those who are turning to Christ from the Churches who remain.​
-
Against: It sounds like individuals in a city, not two groups across the earth.
-
For: It could be two of the angels (pastors), not the whole congregation.
-
-
Believing Jews and End-time Saints: The two olive trees:​
-
For: The olive tree metaphor and parable could represent two distinct groups who are preaching in the end-times, Jews who turn to Christ and End-time Christians.​
-
Against: It sounds like individuals in a city, not two groups across the earth.
There is only one vine, not two, Jesus Christ. The Jews and the Christians represent branches. The Jews were the natural branch that was cut off, and the Christians are the branch of a wild vine grafted into Christ. -
For: Technically there are multiple vines, the Jesus Vine, the Wild Vine (Gentiles) and the Jewish Vine (cut off, but growing freely as a wild vine?). If this is true, the wild vine itself is still not part of Jesus (only a branch is); and the Jewish branch could possibly have become it's own vine, also not part of Jesus. These two could have branches grafted into Jesus for an end-time prophetic force.
-
Jesus is the vine and God is the husbandman, and we are the branches. The unfruitful get cut off and the fruitful get pruned. (Rom_11)​
-
-
The Seven Seals of the Book
-
Notes:
-
Jesus needs to have been sacrificed before this can happen, because it is the Lamb who appeared as if slain who alone is worthy to receive the book from the Lord Almighty on the throne.​
-
He is worthy to open the book, worthy to read the book, worthy to look upon the book.
-
Who is the worthy one? The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David. These title are earthly titles. This tells us that no heavenly creature is worthy, even though these creatures are without sin.
-
The book must be unsealed before it can be looked thereon; only the One on the throne knows what is contained within the book.
-
This means the seals are open, but the earth may not be affected due to how time is only relevant to this world. What we know is what is revealed to us, because this book is the Revelation of Jesus Christ as revealed to John the Apostle. The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) has taken the book and has unsealed the seals, as Jesus did not know the plan while he was on earth.
-
Mar_13:32​
-
-
Where's John?​
-
He is in the throne room witnessing the unsealing of the book.​
-
He can see the earth being affected by the unsealing of the book from his position.
-
He is outside of time, but the earth is not.

Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

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.

The Great Wonder in Heaven
​
-
Rev 12:1-17 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: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 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. 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. 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. 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.7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.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.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.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.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.13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].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.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.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.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.

Revelation 13: The Beast rises from the sea....​
The Beast that Rises from the Sea
​
-
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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:
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.
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. -

MYSTERY BABYLON....

Mystery Babylon

Isa 13:19 ; Rev 17:1

I think this is may be a parallel to the Revelation 12 sign.
-
John:
-
The Apostle
-
He was carried away in the spirit by the angel.
-
He was carried away to the wilderness.
-
-
The angel:
-
One of the seven angels which had the seven vials
-
He reveals the mystery of the beast and of the whore to John.
-
-
The great whore:
-
She is to be judged.
-
She sits upon many waters. (humanity?)
-
The king of the earth have committed fornication with her.
-
The inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
-
She is in the wilderness.
-
She is sitting on a scarlet colored beast.
-
She is arrayed in purple and scarlet color
-
She is decked with gold and precious stones and pearls.
-
She has a golden cup in her hand; it is full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.
-
Her name on her forehead: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
-
She is drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.
-
-
John marveled at her.
-
The ten horns upon the beast
-
They will hate her.
-
They shall make her desolate and naked.
-
They shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
-
-
She is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. (Is this spiritual or literal?)
-
The kings of the earth:
-
They are servants to the whore.
-
They have committed fornication with the great whore
-
-
The inhabitants of the earth:
-
They are made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
-
They will wonder when they behold the beast.
-
-
The scarlet colored beast:
-
The same beast as of Rev_13?
-
The whore is sitting upon it.
-
It is full of names of blasphemy.
-
It has seven heads.
-
It has ten horns
-
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition.
[A]nd 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.
The beast is the eighth king.
-
-
The seven heads of the beast (the seven mountains):
-
The woman sits upon them.
-
-
The seven kings (of the seven mountains?):
-
Five of the seven kings have fallen. (King 1,2,3,4,5)
-
[A]nd one is. (King 6) Is this during time of John or is it until seventh king?
-
[A]nd the other is not come yet (King 7)
-
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. (King 8?)
-
-
The ten horns upon the beast (the ten kings):
-
They are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
-
They have one mind.
-
They shall give their power and strength unto the beast. (King 8?)
-
-
The ten horns upon the beast will hate the whore.
The ten horns shall make the whore desolate and naked.
The ten horns shall eat the whore's flesh and burn her with fire.
For God hath put in their hearts (the ten horns) to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. -
These (the ten kings and the beast) 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.
-
The saints and martyrs of Jesus:
The whore is made drunken with their blood. -
Jesus (the Lamb)
These (the ten kings and the beast) 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. -
