If the Book of revelation were clear, and said straight out what the truth was, the catholic monks would have banished and burned it. It is written in figurative language so people who pray and study it will see the truth. Here is the key.
take the book of Daniel. Daniel, who was promised he was given the key to unlock books, and apply it to revelation since God changes not
Dan 2:47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a revealer of secrets

always before you open the word of God, always pray that our father who is in heaven give you his holy spirit to open your eyes and give you understanding. If you do not pray this prayer for the holy spirit, the enemy will be there giving you false interpretation.

It is one or the other, as it is throughout all live

the key is this
the Bible tells you exactly what all things are!
just READ IT andwrite them down:
example:
what are beasts?
Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

beasts are always kings in the Bible, countries

what are horns?
Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:

easy
so a country coming up (Rome is the only one) will arise and tread down the earth killing saints, and having a temple and calling himself God and showing himself to be God on earth
and making the world worship him...

get the idea?
If Jesus would have said
hey, a pope is coming and they will rule the earth for 1260 years and work for the devil, well, they would trhow out that book right?
well it is as plain as day
go read revelation after getting the codes in daniel:

waters rivers oceans are peoples tongues and nations (europe)
women are always churchs
good woman gods church bad women devils church of the empire
wine is doctrines
beasts are nations and kings
and a few more
now go read revelation
it says
a church will arise riding on a country (know any country/churches that claim ambassadorsship? wel; revelation has five chapters talking about how that church is going to make the world an empire by using a beast that started out peaceable having separation of church and state and having republicanism and freedom of religion and then turning into a beast that forces you to worship the first beast Rome
clear as a bell

it was written in easy code with all the answers in the book
read daniel
write down all the coes
then go read revelation
and thre is no more myster...
dont believe me, go pray and do it

God is good. You need to know this. its coming next year...








it is so easy...

Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

beasts are kings and countries

Now with the little I told yoou see how easy this is now...
know any churches that have SCARLET as their color?
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman(church) sit upon a scarlet coloured beast(Rome), full of names of blasphemy(I am God), having seven heads and ten horns.(Rome is built on seven mountains)

Rev 17:4 And the woman(church) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour(only one church in the world like this), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls(ever been to the big cathedrol in europe?), having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication(preists and choir boys?)

I wont even do the rest or I would get banned
just go read it:

The reason they say YOU CANT UNDERSTAND IT
is because they DONT WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND IT
They had no clue about this until Luther figured it out, and so they took revelation out of their official Bibles and banned anyone reading it without a priests help
but hey
its all there

Remember I know nothing, dont believe me
go read daniel
get the codes
then read revelation
bottom line is
Jesus is coming back
the filth has reached epic proportion
The world is now a Roman empire
it is illegal to teach revelation it is now a felony in America to read revelation with those codes applied, and all countries first check with a certain church/state before they do anything......

here is what is in revleatin
nuclear war (set off as a false flag by beast
supervolcano as gods punishment for the war 5 months darkness
organized one world religion in which they try again to kill all those keeping sabbath (Jews) and true christians
and of course
Jesus stepping in and destroying the church city in one hour and the world crying over it saying How we goig to buy and sell anything (all shipping, all unions all hospitals and all governments are under thier control and it will all disappear in one hour...

amazing book.
Revelation of Jesus christ
read amos and zephania along with it as this will happen in mid summer, the fruits on the trees will not ripen
you dont have much time

Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Luke 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
Luke 10:4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

Psa 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
Psa 17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
Psa 17:10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
Psa 17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
Psa 17:12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Psa 17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

and you will be fine




and you will inherit the kingdom of heaven...
This is the way walk ye in it

If these posts are stil here
then please write this down.

Jesus has scars in his hands
the false christ (antichrist does NOT have scars in his hands and feet and on his forehead
do NOT follow the antichrist, he will look like Jesus but will speak blasphemy how he CHANGED GODS LAWS!

Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.


JEsus had scars in his hands going up!
he will have them when he returns

the false christ comes FIRST (makes sense right)
then the real one and the real one does not walk on the earth.

1 Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


the real one does not touch down

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. 2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. The Lamb is Worthy
5And 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.


Can someone tell me? I can only imagine that if no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth was able to open the book, and then:

5And 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.

Was it that Christ was between earth and heaven, while He was ascending? When no man was found, that is. I mean, they looked and didn't see, then they did see.
I love your thinking Karraster, I think that is a major find! So when was the Lords day?

Rev_1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Not enough to establish doctrine, but this adds to a mountain of growing evidence that I have found that points to the Day of the Lord being at Jesus' first coming.

Thank you for posting that.

I look forward to all the blessings that are mentioned in the book of Revelation. This beautiful Bible book is heartwarming and encouraging because when reading what this last book of the Bible says about the present and what it reveals about the future, inspires faith in God and gives one the strength to go on. Revelation helps true Christians endure this wicked world ruled by Satan the Devil.

This beautiful book is written mostly in symbols and signs. These symbols or signs always can be said to represent a human, governmental and religious entities, God, Jesus, those that are going to heaven, those who are marked for survival of the end of Satan's wicked world and who will have an opportunity to live forever on a beautiful paradise earth, as well as much, much more.

Think about this illustration, perhaps it will take away some of the apprehension or fear that even some Christians have for reading this wonderful book of Revelation. QUESTION: How many ways can you say the word "money" without saying the actual word "money" or better yet what are some terms, "symbols or signs" that can be substituted or used in place of the word "money"?.......


1. Wiggums
2. Bacon
3. Greens
4. Bridge Card
5. Cha Ching
6. Cheddar[
7. And yes, when you think of the words pop bottle, money may come to your mind because once cashed in for the deposit, you will receive cash "money". All these terms, signs or symbols are slang terms for the word money.
That is the same way with symbolic words, phrases, and terminology written in the book of Revelation. You can/might even call these signs or symbols in the book of Revelation, "spiritual slang terms". For instance: False religion is likened to a "harlot" or "prostitute" that commits spiritual fornication with the "kings" or political rulers of the earth. This symbolic fornicatrix gets involved with and meddles in the political affairs of Satan's world, the political entities of the earth. Instead of remaing loyal to God, Jehovah and instead of remaining spiritually clean, "she", the "Great Harlot", is spiritually unclean in God's eye's and from His standpoint........The term "Babylon the Great the World Empire of False Religion" is also applied to all religions, non-Christian and Christedom (All faiths that claim to be worshipers of God and followers of Jesus, but "prove false to the power of holy spirit and God". And who do not obey the "good news about God's Kingdom") The "Great Harlot" that "sits upon many waters" or upon many peoples of the earth wields her powerful influence even over them and their the kings of the earth. All false religion are slated for destruction very soon when the "Great Tribulation" starts (Matthew 24: 21,22).

These are just a couple of terms in the Bible book of Revelation that truly have significant and relevant meaning for our day and time. Understanding the book of Revelation is very urgent because one's future life and personal relationship with God is involved, as well as being granted the underserved kindness and mercy from God to be able to survive the end of this wicked system of things.

Just a further note also. The political and governmental entities are represented by a symbolic "ten horned wild beast"Q
UOTE=Swingalong;1296850]It's because many truly do not understand it, the book of Revelation.

God doesn't mean for us to understand Revelation as a book giving exactly how everything will happen. God told the Hebrews about the coming of Christ the first time and most of the scholars who said they understood it perfectly made a terrible mistake about what Christ did. We can look back on all the prophecies and understand them after they happened. All the prophecies that have happened have been like that. The parts of Revelation that are clearly told about what we can expect tell of absolute wonders ahead for us.

I like going over the feast of Sukkot, the feast of the harvest, that God gave to show us what the harvest of His people will be like. It gives such a clear picture, and it gives us the season it will happen. The feasts that prophesied such as the crucifixion (Passover) and Pentecost gave the exact date, I'll bet this feast will, too. Just not the year.
When one reads Col 2:16-17 without preconceived ideas and agendas, one sees that the Holydays are shadows of the 7000 year plan of God...

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Things to come, things that are yet future.

Through the years many people have been sure they knew what the symbols in Daniel relate to. All we really know is that there will be a series of gentile nations who rule.

In Daniel 7:25 we read: He shall speak words against the Most High, shall wear out the holy ones of the Most High, and shall attempt to change the sacred seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his power for a time, two times, and half a time.

By the year 324 it was made illegal to include anything the Jews did in the Christian Church. They said Paul told them they must not. No season God had told them about was allowed, no church service on a day the bible ordered, and every bit of law God had given was considered obsolete. They said Christ did away with law. This is not the Catholic Church, this is all our churches.
Hmmm, yepper and there is only one Law that has to do with time...

Does anybody understand this verse?

Revelation 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.'



Can you break it down and explain?

Christians keep the commandments of God. Specifically those Christian familiar with God's words teaching them the difference between the falsechrist and the true Christ. Thats why the dragon ,Satan makes war with them. he sends out those lies from his mouth. Stings with his tail, the deception. Extend that underline to Christ, too .

Revelation 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.' ...


What is in the Heavenly ark? God's eternal law, the Ten Commandments!


Why do men teach that we have liberty to ignore the 10 Commandments? that we will be lead by spirit only. Why is the Sabbath Day Rest tossed out? Do they confuse that 7th day with other sabbaths, so toss 'em all out?

I have been so blind! Why did I not see this before? Because everybody goes to church on Sunday? Sun Day?

Wake up people! Let us wake up! Everybody wonderin what the "mark of the beast is", or some are convinced it is a form of identification.....well it is!!! it's written in your heart, the 10 commandments!!! it's on your hand-what you do with what is in your mind!

The title of the Book of Revelation says it all. It means to reveal, unfold, or disclose information concerning something. In this instance, God's will and purpose for His spiritual slaves. Yes God does want us to understand the book of Revelation (Revelation 1:1-3).
Let me try to say what I think God wants us to understand from Revelation clearer. I agree it was given to us for us to read and know what it says. What I object to is people who say revelation tells us more than it does. When they say it tells them how many days a certain way God will act to do each part of His gathering in, for instance, they are going too far.

Also, when they will not read what Dan 7:25 says about how they are acting and that it is wrong, but say it is all the Catholic Church, they are not reading what God is telling them.
