REVELATION’S
Forth Section of Seven
describes
“The Persecuting Dragon”
in
REVELATION
12:1 – 14:20.
***
This Forth Section begins
”FURTHER BACK IN TIME”
( than JESUS’ EARTHY MINISTRY )
and encompasses
the History of the World
from Creation
to JESUS’ FIRST COMING
and then
to JESUS’ SECOND COMING.
***
Christ’s First Coming
is summarized in REVELATION 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 to God,
and to His Throne.”
***
As Jesus Christ
is now Enthroned,
the Dragon makes war
against the saints,
employing the services
of the Beast
in REVELATION 13:1;
“And I stood on
the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast
rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads
and ten horns,
and on his horns ten crowns,
and on his heads
the name of blasphemy.”
***
The Second Beast
or False Prophet
is EMPLOYED
BY THE DRAGON:
in REVELATION 13:11,12;
“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.
And he exercised
all the power
of the first beast
before him,
and caused the earth
and them
which dwell therein
to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound
was healed.”
***
And the Whore
– Babylon
is EMPLOYED
BY THE DRAGON:
in REVELATION 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.”
***
Jesus Christ’s Second Coming
in Judgment
is seen at the End
of this
FORTH of SEVEN SECTIONS
in REVELATION 14:14-16;
“And I looked,
and behold a white cloud,
and on the cloud One Sat
like the Son of Man,
***
having on His Head
a Golden Crown,
and in His Hand
a Sharp Sickle.
***
And another angel
came out of the temple,
crying with a loud voice
to Him
that Sat on the cloud,
Thrust in Your Sickle,
and Reap:
***
for the Time is Come
for You to Reap;
for the Harvest
of the Earth is ripe.
***
And He
that Sat on the cloud
Thrust in His Sickle
on the Earth;
and the Earth
was Reaped.”
***
The Fifth Section of Seven
concerns
“The Seven Bowls”
in REVELATION 15:1 – 16:21.
***
In this Fifth Section
is another description
of the Judgments of God
which concludes
with the Final Judgment
in REVELATION 16:20;
“And every island fled away,
and the mountains
were not found..”
***
The Sixth Section of Seven
concerns
“The Fall of Babylon”
in REVELATION 17:1 – 19:21.
***
The World System
which prevails
between the First Coming
and Second Coming
of Jesus Christ to Earth
is defeated by Jesus Christ at
THE RETURN of JESUS CHRIST.
***
JESUS’ RETURN is described in
REVELATION 19:11-16;
“And I saw Heaven opened,
and behold a White Horse;
and He that Sat on him
was called Faithful
and True,
and in Righteousness
He does Judge
and Make War.
***
“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.
***
“And He was Clothed
with a Robe;
Dipped in Blood:
and His Name is called
The Word of God.
***
“And the armies
which were in Heaven
followed Him on White Horses,
Clothed in Fine Linen,
White and Clean.
***
“And out of His Mouth
goes a Sharp Sword,
that with it He should
Smite the Nations:
***
“and He will Rule them
with a Rod of Iron:
and He Treads
the Wine-press
of the Fierceness
and Wrath
of Almighty God.
***
“And He has on His Robe
and on His Thigh
a Name Written,
***
“KING OF KINGS,
AND LORD OF LORDS.”
***
The Seventh Section of Seven
concerns
“The Great Consummation”
in REVELATION 20:1 – 22:21.
***
Here we meet up with
the final demise of Satan.
***
We are told in REVELATION 20:2,3
of Satan being bound for 1,000 years
- a binding which commenced
in Jesus Christ’s First Coming
(cf. Mt 12:29
“Or else
how can one enter
into a strong man’s house,
and spoil his goods,
***
except he first bind
the strong man?
and then
he will spoil his house.”
***
And this “binding of the strong man”, Satan,
Spoken of in Matthew 12:29, by Jesus Christ,
parallels Satan being “cast out”,
when John mentioned this,
in REVELATION 12:9;
“And the Great Dragon
was cast out,
that old serpent,
called the Devil,
and Satan,
which deceives
the whole world:
***
“he was cast out
into the earth,
and his angels
were cast out with him.”
***
This “1,000 years”,
SPOKEN of “SYMBOLICALLY”,
DEPICTS “A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS”
PERIOD of TIME ( a 1,000 years ),
AND YET THAT PERIOD of TIME
IS FINITE !
***
A “calender” PERIOD of TIME,
of 1,000 “ACTUAL” years
IS NEVER INTENDED.
***
This “1,000 years”,
SPOKEN of “SYMBOLICALLY”,
DEPICTS
the PERIOD of TIME
and the ACTIVITY
of THE TRIUNE GODHEAD
from
THE ASCENSION
of JESUS CHRIST
BACK to HEAVEN
from EARTH
until
JESUS’ SECOND COMING
to EARTH at
THE END of THE WORLD.
***
AFTER,
THIS PERIOD of TIME,
BETWEEN
the FIRST COMING of JESUS
and JESUS SECOND COMING
there is “a little season”
in which Satan is loosed,
in (REVELATION 20:7;
“And when
the thousand years
( SPOKEN of “SYMBOLICALLY”,
and DEPICTING
“A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS”
PERIOD of TIME ( a 1,000 years ),
AND YET THAT PERIOD of TIME
IS FINITE !)
are expired,
Satan will be loosed
out of his prison”
***
SATAN’S DOOM
WHEN THE DRAGON
is finally overthrown
is in REVELATION 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 will be Tormented
Day and Night
For Ever and Ever.”
***
The Book of REVELATION
consists of Seven Sections,
***
These Seven Sections
run parallel to one another.
***
Each of the
“SEVEN SECTIONS”
Subject Matter Spans the Entire
PERIOD of TIME in HISTORY
from the First Coming
of Jesus Christ to Earth,
until the Second Coming
of Jesus Christ to Earth,
IN JUDGEMENT.
***
This Period of Time,
from the First Coming
of Jesus Christ to Earth,
until the Second Coming
of Jesus Christ to Earth,
is PRESENTED to US,
in the SEVEN DIFFERENT SECTIONS,
as GOD “UNVEILS” ONE VIEW POINT
& ASPECT
of HIS REVELATION to MANKIND,
REGARDING THIS
“END TIME” PERIOD
of THE CHURCH AGE
WHILE, IN OTHERS
of the “SEVEN SECTIONS”
GOD HAS BEEN PLEASED
to REVEAL & “UNVEIL”
VARIOUS OTHER
PURE REVELATIONS,
FROM THE ETERNAL
TRUINE GODHEAD,
to man on Earth.
