The escalation of the present wars can confirm that the chapters of Revelation are coming together
Bird’s eye view
In my previous post I said that we should now have a bird’s eye view of the chapters of Revelation. I said this because certain words and verses from certain chapters possibly now reveal recent and current global happenings.
Revelation’s unique chronology
As I have said before, because Revelation has a unique chronology of happenings it is essential to have the book open in order to see in which chapters references appear.
Matthew 24:39
Because the nations in Eastern Europe cannot find peace and the war in the Middle East seems to be intensifying along the Lebanese border, I believe I should relate my insight into certain sections of Revelation. Firstly, because happenings may escalate quickly, and secondly because the floods all over the globe are happening constantly and taking the lives of many. According to Matthew 24:39, floods are the sign before the Rapture.
Power blocks
We now have the formation of two powerful alliances of nations, East and West, essentially across the breadth of the globe (Rev.20:9). History has shown that once a conflict has started it is most difficult to find peace.
The opening of the sixth seal
Because the opening of the sixth seal (Rev. 6:12-14) reveals a sequence of events that seem to relate to the present time, I have to take a closer look at these, considering the other sections of Revelation that, I believe and have shown in previous posts, have revealed that we are at present gathering to Armageddon.
Rev.6:12-17
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;
I believe the mention of the “great earthquake” at the beginning of the opening of the sixth seal indicates the coming of a great earthquake that is going to move “every mountain and island” (Rev.6:14). (It can through the repetition of words also pertain to “a great earthquake” in Rev.11:13 and 16:18).
(It must be remembered that Revelation only indicates chronology (one happening after another) in the sounding of the fifth, sixth and seventh trumpets (the three woes) Rev.9:12 and 11:14.)
“And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair”
These words can relate to the total solar eclipse of 8 April 2024. This was the time of mourning for the dead in the current wars as well as the escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel (13 April 2024). It could also indicate coming intensification of current conflicts.
“Sackcloth of hair”
It must be remembered that the words “sackcloth of hair”, through the repetition of the word “sackcloth”, also relates to Rev.11:3 and the “1260 days”.
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”.
1260 days
In the time of the “1260 days” (23 September 2017 to 6 March 2021) an all the more unbelieving world would no longer look to the power to be found in the truths of Scripture and prayer. Man begins to totally rely on what he believes he has proven in the sciences. The “kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men” (Rev.6:15) struggle to perceive that the forces of evil are at their fiercest in the “little season” (Rev.20:3).
The same hour
The repetition of the word “sackcloth”, I believe, substantiates the “same hour” (Rev.11:13) 2020 and 2024, to show that Revelation incorporates the four years of the adjustment of the calendar since the coming of the Christ in BC4. (To recap: As I have shown on this Forum, Revelation measures the two thousand years from BC4 as well as 1AD, that is, 1996 and 2000. It then adds the “hour” of twenty-four years up to 2020 and 2024.)
“And the moon became as blood”
We are presently in a season of a “blue moon” (19 August 2024), and a partial lunar eclipse (18 September 2024). Should the wars escalate in the time to come this may indicate “and the moon became as blood”.
Rev.6:13 “And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as the fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.”
“And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth”
As it happens we are now in a period (from the end of July to early November 2024), of a number of meteor showers. These are (with peak times) Southern Delta Aquariids (29-30 July): Alpha Capricornids (30-31July); Perseids (11-12 Aug.); Orionids (20-21 October) and Southern Taurids (4-5 Nov).
“Even as the fig tree casteth her untimely figs. When she is shaken of a mighty wind”
The world is experiencing signs of
climate change.
Rev.6:13 “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places”
When heaven opens (“heaven departed”) the book Revelation will have gone into fulfilment (“a scroll when it is rolled together”).
“Make war”
The words “make war” in Revelation seem to reveal why we are in the present time gathering to war.
The words “make war” appear four times in Revelation. Twice concerning the beast coming up out of the sea, once before the Rapture and once concerning the second appearance of the Rider on the white horse.
The beast coming up out of the sea
I am not going to explain in great length about the “beast coming up out of the sea” because it has been explained in great detail in my books and on this website. Of importance now is that the present world order, the authority of the rule of law as highest power in the nations (that came about over the past centuries), brought about a belief that there would no longer be a necessity to make war. It is for this reason that Revelation says in Rev.13:4 “Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
War with the saints.
The authority of the nations is now in the courts of law. The spiritual authority of the unity of Christian king and the Church was overcome. Revelation reminds us of this in the words of 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.”
Keeping in mind what is understood by “make war” in Rev.13:4 and 7, we must now consider the other two positions of “make war”.
The Rider on the white horse
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.
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.
13 And he was clothed in a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called the Word of God.”
Heaven opened
The symbolism of the second appearance of the Rider on the white horse, heralds the time of the second coming of Christ the Saviour, who is faithful and true. He shall “judge and make war”.
In other words we have reached the time that, as Revelation reveals, the Trinity is finally at war against the ‘beast’ on earth.
Rev. 19:12
Through the words “His eyes were as a flame of fire” that also appear in Rev.1:14, it is confirmed that this is Jesus Christ, the Son of Man.
“On his head were many crowns” reveals that Revelation wants to take us back in history, to all the “kings and priests” (Rev.1:6) in Christ, past and present.
He had a name written
The words “he had a name written” relates back to Proverbs 30:4.
“Who hath ascended up to heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name? What is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?”
Rev.19:13
Revelation here connects to John 1:1 and confirms the risen Christ, the Word of God (words of Biblical prophecy) that became flesh, and died for our sins (“vesture dipped in blood”).
Heaven opened
Because my experience of ‘heaven opening’ on 22 August 1996, revealed the times of the opening of the first four seals of Revelation, I believe that the words “heaven opened” (in Rev.19:11) now reveals the time that the spread of the Christian Faith has reached the ends of the earth.
I say this because the four Riders, each connected to a specific year, symbolically indicated the times of the spread, the direction of the spread as well as the times of the rule of kings and ultimately transition to the rule of law.
(Readers may well ask but why then does Revelation mention in Rev.14:6-7, the Faith reaching the ends of the earth and the hour of judgement.
Rev. 14:6-7
6 “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on earth, and to every nation and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory; for the hour of his judgement is come; and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
Note the word “hour” appearing here
Revelation seems to indicate the end of two thousand years since the coming of Christ, measured from BC4 to 1996, plus the ‘hour’ of about 24 years. Which takes one up to 2020. Therefore, as I have shown on this Forum, Chapter 14 relates to the time measures of “temple” and “altar” (Rev.11:1-3 and 14-20). Again, the understanding of Revelation lies in measuring time from BC4 as well as from 1AD, that is, according to real time and the adjustment of the calendar.
The repetition of the word “blood”
The repetition of the word “blood” (Rev.6:12 and 14:20) seems to connect 2022, the war in Eastern Europe, to 2024 and a possible escalation of war in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.)
Revelation 11:7 seems to substantiate the present time, the testimony to the ends of the earth and war.
Rev.11:7
“And when they 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.”
Bottomless pit
Because of what I have related recently on this Forum about the symbolism of the “bottomless pit” connected to the present time, it is possible that if the escalation of war may now take place, and the following verses (Rev.11:8-10) could soon come to pass.
