Sanctified By Truth

God (surely?) is programming us through experience. “And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth” (Eph.1:10).

Revelation chapter 7, makes me think we are supposed to be getting in line. There are two “crowds” in the chapter, one counted and one too many to count.

“God’s seal on the forehead”. Talk about Christmas! What could it be!?

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, before the end will come" (Jesus, Matthew 24:14). So get ready!?

“Then I saw another angel flying overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people” (Rev.14:6).

“He who establishes us in Christ and anointed us is God” (2Cor.1:21).

Jesus’ prayer - “Sanctify them - make them yours - by the truth; your word is truth” (Jn.17:17).

Mystery Babble

The “kings of Earth” (greater and lesser and of both stripes) by playing foot$ie with those with worldwide aspirations have sold us. Without Lucifer there would be no such plan. People are just not that together to preserve, pursue and attain a goal over many decades and a couple of lifetimes. (Don’t forget he’s been getting those smallest of sacrifices like in ancient barbarian days.) “The god of man’s world has blinded the minds” 2Cor.4:4.

It is NO coincidence the first tower was called Babble Tower and the last days wicked $ity is called Babylon the Great ..she having corrupted/destroyed all “seven hills”/continents with her “immorality” and garishly lit streets, enchantments, dark alleys.. And a forehead labeled mystery babble.

Revelation is Greatly Misunderstood

 Revelation is greatly misunderstood, likely because it is told in symbols, lol. But an informed person has no reason to worry about its message. After all, worse case scenario - if not informed - His grace will carry one through.

Some of Revelation and prophecy have occurred, but prophecy fulfillment is most often like ripples in a pond.. from smaller ripple to larger..

I believe this to be proven by how the Greek word translated “END” is “tel” root of telecope.. And literally means “end-aim”. And describes quite well, prophecy - its “telescoping” quality. Like with the Lord’s two advents - first a smaller in scope fulfillment, and then larger in scope (global) fulfillment at the “end-aim”.

Putting the Revelation vision in a box labeled “7 years only” or in any box, is imo irresponsible. And it doesn’t work!

The vision is like a stage production with scene changes and meanwhiles.. And is like an orchestra of notes all chiming in (beginning) at different times.. and once begun continue to sound to the ‘end’. Each scene may not have the exact same starting point. Is it any wonder it has caused much confusion?

But! We are (still) at an important place in the narrative - namely chapter 7.

Seal 6 had just occurred, in chapter 6, but since the seals are described - at their first - as their full effects, from first TO last.. Well, more confusion. The vision is veiled by this one tricky move alone. I am absolutely convinced that seal 6 is then held in check, which check we are still in (for now).

And during this pause of seal 6? “Harm not the land, trees or seas until we mark the foreheads of God’s servants with His seal”. A seal of clarity? (As it’s on the forehead.) TWO groups are sealed. How do I know that? Because one group is counted, and another is “too many to count”. So there you have it. We should all get in line. I think this is very important. Of course He has to inform us of it before we can knowingly get in line.

Then what? Said pause/check is interrupted - chapter 8. A HUGE sign. As was the first seal 6 event. WHICH, was Rev.13:13 also! But it pinpoints an OFFICE, not an individual (not yet anyway?) Confused yet? Don’t worry, once the pieces fall into place, it’s pretty easy to see.

So what happens after this huge seal 6 (element of the age) recurs? The proverbial you know hitting the fan, does not happen yet? (I hope?)

Not globally yet, I guess. So for most of us, not yet? But! it does no harm to prepare! First spiritually, then any way you are led by the Spirit/“the Helper” (God’s Spirit/Presence with us).

A Brief Summary of What Happens, Followed by Some Keys to Understanding the Vision:

After the huge, earthshaking crises (surely?) is when the two notorious ones, symbolized as beasts (!) will ‘step up’. (Beasts in biblical language refers to kings and the governings of men (mankind). Rev.13.

Beast one (13:1-10) rose out of the seas of humanity. A many headed geopolitical entity (of TODAY). Along with the littler beast, which carried out 13:13 (and prophecy buffs, please.. isn’t it obvious?) and he rose out of the land.

They bring about a “seven year league/treaty with the many” which is broken in the middle with, you guessed it, Israel, in one way or ANOTHER(?) See Mk.13:1-2?

Then 1,290 days, or that is about 3.5 years plus 30 days later, will be “set up” the final desolating abomination, this time upon the human temple meant for God’s Spirit (surely!) The notorious 666. And the next verse? Daniel 12:12 - tell me, doesn’t that verse say “happy is the one who waits, and comes to, 45 days later”? So there it is. Clear information. (Rev.13; Dan.9:27)

Yet there’s also this - “He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws” (remember prophecy repeats in larger scope) “and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time” (1,260 days) - Dan.7:25. This means 75 days after Israel is betrayed (holy place gone) believers are in his hand and reach. Check my math:

betrayal -> 1,290 + 45 = 1,335

(See Dn.12:12)

betrayal -> 75 + 1,260 = 1,335

[Jacob’s trouble?

1,335 back 2,520 days; Mt.23:39]

    KEYS to the Revelation vision - 

[1]to solve the Revelation Riddle you have to look at the world, not just the vision.

[2]the seals R described as their fuLL effects 1st to last

[3]ch12 is an insert, vs17 needs mt23:39

[4]we r @ 7:1 (and chapter!) for now..

[5]it’s mystery babble-on, that becomes the global (on 7 hills/continents) wicked $ity, ch.17&18

[6]13:13 was an office, will “head” 13:1, todAy’s geopolitical emerging 

[7] in Rev.22 there’s narrative outside the vision..

The vision is told 3 times

(a) 6:1-11:19

(b) ch.12

(c) 13:1-19:11

Notice the matching of 

6:1 & 19:11 - the ride of the white horse rider

A Bible Prophecy Timeline

Someone asked “where are we in the Eschatological timeline?” Lately I’ve been focused almost exclusively on Revelation and Daniel. I still forget some of the details of the Antiochus Epiphanes prophecies - but which yes, I think prophecy repeats. Actually “scopes”. I read that some time ago in a commentary - how the word translated “end” is the Greek word “tel”, root of telescope “which perfectly describes the nature of prophecy”.

Like with the advents! Smaller in scope first, then later the full scoped fulfillment (which will be global).

The literal meaning of “tel” being “end-aim”. Prophecy is fulfilled at different scopes until it reaches full scope at the end-aim. A loaded with meaning word, end-aim that is.

It’s my belief we’re EXACTLY at those four winds being held back at Rev.7:1.

You may know how Seal 6 is described when the seal is first broken open, fully described as its full effects from its first to very last effects upon the planet, and not even in order. Which of course veils the whole vision bigtime.

Seal 6 - I’m sure you know what I’m talking about - but just to add to the evidence, Rev.13:13 is the same first seal 6 event that occurred when the seal was split open (pun intended). But thAt is veiled because we all think the verse pinpoints an individual. But no.. tricky and clever, it pinpoints an OFFICE of man. A two horned/seated office...

So in 1945 this particular office released Seal 6 loose upon the world “in the sight of man” in open sight, fat man and little boy upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki. SO obvious, right?

So... here we are at Rev.7:1,3 the verse(s) right after that first seal 6 event, “four angels holding back the four winds of heaven.. that they not harm earth, trees or seas..”

Reading the rest of the chapter and then especially chapter 8, it seems apparent, the pause and holding back will be interrupted.

So logically, I’m thinking that’s when our really really big brother, the many headed geopolitical beast of today, and also one affiliated with the office pinpointed by Rev.13:13, will surely ‘step up’ and usher in the notorious 7 year peace! peace! (global?) “treaty/league” of Dan.9:27. HOW LONG that might take working out.. who knows? But! we can know, if we want to, that 1,290 days or that is about 3.5 years plus 30 days AFTER the treaty is broken with, or over(?) Israel, will be “set up” the final desolating abomination - Dan.12:11-12. This time upon the human temple meant for God’s Spirit? The 666 apparatus bestowed by the false prophet/teacher, who teaches ‘his’ false teaching/theory/strong delusion.. This one - NOT a person - has been in the news as of late. Gave the capability for 13:13 also.

So my answer was, we are, for the time being, still at Revelation, chapter seven, verses one through three.

Postscript: Also at Matthew 24:6, with 7 coming up.

Matthew 24:6 (the greek word - battles, strife, quarrels, riots) with verse 7 coming up (nation against nation, lots of earthquakes and famines) later persecutions increase as will false prophets and betrayal. Then the abomination that desolates is seen “let those in Judea flee” listen to no ‘messiah’ for HE will come like lightning from east to west.. the sun’s light is darkened and the moon will reflect red (during Joel’s smoky day; “out of the smoke will come loud locust-like, which sting mankind from their tails for five months” Rev.9). And during the smokiness and red moon, the great trumpet sounds and Jesus arrives —

Mt.24:45 - “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, found giving His household food in due season? Blessed is that servant.. But if the servant says in his heart, ‘the master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants, or eat and drink with drunkards” (or the confused?) “the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of”..

[Revelation 7 - get in line! “Yield ourselves therefore..”]

Prophecy Is A Message Meant To Be Understood

 John saw “...a beast rising up out of the sea” (of humanity) “having seven heads and ten horns” [Revelation 13:1) and “the FOUR WINDS of heaven were churning - agitating - the great sea” Daniel 7:2.

Dan.7:7 - ...a “beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge IRON teeth” (columns?) — Rome, then Western Civilization’s Roman columns, so to speak? It’s senates, courts.. Is western.

“It was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet.” Verse 19 says it has “bronze”/Greek feet. It breaks up nations with its Greek philosophy/humanism, arts, drama, etc. About the metals, the iron and bronze, Dan.2:31-45.

“It is - different - from all the beasts that are before it, and it has ten horns.” [Dan.7:7]

Ps.2:1 - “Why do - THE NATIONS - rage?”

“The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute (the wicked city).” They hate and despise the, in order “to sell” harlot-portraying, Wicked $ity. “Harlot” being the Greek word “pornos” and “to sell”. It is “she” who “destroys the Earth” by destroying family and culture. She “made the merchants wealthy” and it’s they “who will weep when she falls”. And the “kings (politicians) are in bed with her” (Rev.18).

She currently rides the beast. But what will happen when the huge, many headed political beast, of today, rides her?? (Rev.17:16; 12:16) “She is fallen! fallen!” - Rev.14:8.

The many headed beast and its ten horns hate the harlot $ity. Are we seeing this in - today’s - world!?

“They will bring her to ruin and leave her poorly clothed; the flesh of her they shall consume and will burn her with fire.” (Rev.17:16) Finally, a dream of so many comes true..

“And ...I (John) saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against He who sits on the white horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who works signs” - works modern miracles and wonders - “in his presence, *BY WHICH* he deceives those who RECEIVE the mark of the beast and those who worship his image.” - Mankind’s last great image/idol to replace God Most High. The two beasts of Rev.13 - the huge, many headed one, and the littler one, the office pinpointed by 13:13 - basically morphing into one, will be aided and supported by today’s biggest false prophet (currently has been in the news - whether being currently false or true I know not) - who’s “strong delusion” caused a “great falling away” of Western Civilization from the faith, by “seating  a man” - and man - as “in the temple of God, showing himself to be god”/highest power deciding good and evil.

‘He’ gave the 13:13 capability and will give the 666 capability, among other marvels. When? Rev.13:13 in 1945 (hello?) And 666 will occur and run for 45 days before the Lord’s return - revealed in the math riddle of Dan.12:11-12. Let me show you how.

Currently Seal 6 is being held in check after it’s first occurrence. This is veiled however! How? By describing the Seals upon the scroll of the vision, at their first being broken open - as their FULL effects. From their beginning to their full scope fulfillment at Armageddon.

Seal 6 - “.. a great earthquake, and the sun became dark.. and the moon became like blood” (reflects red). “And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, AS (resembling how) a fig tree drops its late figs when it is SHAKEN by a mighty wind.” [Earth shaking and how the stars look when it does.] “Then the sky SPLIT (apochórizó, part asunder, split) as a scroll when it is rolled up (?) and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave/worker and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains” (remember bomb shelters post 1945?) “and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘fall on us and hide us from the face of He who sits on the throne and from His wrath” (the results, consequences - of this world which is ruled by the choices of mankind).

So here we are. At Rev.7:1,3 - “After this I (John) saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree.. do not harm the land or sea or trees, UNTIL we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.” (With clarity, 100%? “Yield ourselves therefor unto God..” - Ro.6:13.)

After the holding back of Seal 6 is interrupted, is when the huge many headed beast, and one affiliated with the office pinpointed by 13:13 (which was the first Seal 6 event) will ‘step up’ and bring about the notoriously famous seven year “peace! peace!” treaty and league - Dan.9:27, the word league is included in the original Hebrew. (Rev.13:3 - “one of its heads was mortally wounded, but its wound was healed”. It expired, and was resurrected.)

The treaty is broken with Israel (go figure!) in the middle of it. THEN (Dan.12:11-12) - 1,290 days, or about 3.5 years plus 30 days later, will be “set up” the final desolating abomination. [This time upon the human temple meant for God’s Spirit? The 666 apparatus.] And happy is the one who “waits - and - comes to, 45 days later”. (Dan.12:11-12)

A little horn, in the midst of ten, Dan.7:8, comes up little — Rev.12:13-14: the dragon, enraged, persecutes (inquisitions) the faith, but she is given the two wings of an eagle that she may fly (sail) to a new place..

In Daniel’s vision, as the little horn grows it uproots three. Three main European powers (horns) lay claim to that ‘new land’. But the little horn outgrew them.

The harlot woman is the evil twin of the woman given the wings of an eagle.. but it is also a little bit of a blend in some quarters..

In Revelation, the vision is told three times! (a.) 6:1-11:19 (b.) chapter 12, but last verse needs Mt.23:39, and (c.) 13:1-19:11. And the whole thing begins (6:1) and ends (19:11) with the rider on the white horse.

Like The Sting Of A Scorpion

 

I’ve been re-examining the Rev.9:3-11 prophecy - “out of the smoke.. like locusts.. not given authority to kill but to torment for five months (those w/o the Seal of God on their foreheads) ..like the torment of a scorpion.. the king over them is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon (Destroyer).

        Their venom contains powerful neurotoxins and is especially potent.

     Androctonus, one of the most dangerous groups of scorpions species in the world, are found throughout the semi-arid and arid regions of the Middle East and Africa.

       Neurotoxicity is a form of toxicity in which a biological, chemical, or physical agent produces an adverse effect on the structure or function of the central and/or peripheral nervous system.

        Symptoms of neurotoxicity:

• Limb weakness

• Loss of memory

• Loss of vision

• Uncontrollable obsessive and compulsive behaviors

• Delusions

• Headache

• Neurodegenative diseases

• Autonomic nervous system dysfunction

• Numbness and tingling

• Depression

• Cognitive degeneration

Symptoms of neurotoxicity include memory and concentration problems; confusion; multiple sclerosis or MS-type symptoms; impaired control of the limbs, bladder, or bowels; headaches or migraines; sleep disorders, including sleep apnea; eye problems that are neurological in origin; balance and hearing problems; muscle weakness; anxiety or panic attacks; depression; and other psychiatric or neurological symptoms.

We Are Slow To Believe

We are still at Rev.7:1, the (long to us) pause of Seal 6 - described at its first occurrence, as its FULL effects - from first to last.

—

The two witnesses? The Spirit led (anointed) two branches of Israel? The natural branch and the grafted wild branch? (Rev.7:4,9)

—

“When the chief shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of glory that never fades”. A future event for it is “reserved in heaven for you..” 2Pet.1:4 & 5:4

Luke 24:25 - “How can you be so slow to believe all that the prophets said?”

A Red Cardinal To Teach

A Red Cardinal used to sit at our vehicle mirrors and peck at his image. We knew he did this often as he left his signs upon the vehicles, a source of consternation to my husband, lol.

One day during morning Quiet study and prayer time, the verses I was reading made me look up and think “many believers are not reading the Scripture!”

Just then I saw a Red Cardinal fly out of the yard and sit on a power line and he sat there for the longest time.

The Lord used that Cardinal to show me how as a young Cardinal he pecked at the mirror but grew out of it, learning his image was not reality.

And now he sat on a higher perch. At which time the thought came to me that we as believers begin - as we believe and study - sort of basing truth upon our own image! Truth coming through layers and layers of our own ideas and psyche.

But as we “keep studying” we mature and can begin to see things from a higher view (and perch). If we don’t read and digest the Scripture, will we stay in the juvenile stage of seeing Truth through our self based perceptions? Is this one reason confusion seems rampant in the body of believers? With all speaking a different language.. Producing a babble of voices? Well church, judgment (consequences, results) is prophesied to fall upon ALL of Babble-On (And On). [And not only yesterday’s Babylon, but today’s (fully scoped fulfillment) $ity Babylon sitting atop seven continents.]

Bible Prophecy In Plain Words

A duplicate post on each of my blogs.

Presently, I think we are still in the pause of seal 6 (of thermonuclear as warfare – Rev.7:1-2, but the seals are told as to their total effects, including at the ‘end’ which veils the vision I think).

So when that pause is interrupted – though I think at first limitedly – is when things start to escalate.. Today’s world beast/body will ‘step up’ as will the office which carried out 13:13.. same seal 6 first event, which pinpoints an office prominant in last days and who gives breath (authority) to the world beast (that has iron/bronze – roman/greek roots, see Dan.7:7,19 w/ Rev.13:1 & Dan.2:31-45) but will be either infiltrated by or in partnership with the wild beast who does Rev.20:4). This world beast will make or ratify a 7 year agreement/treaty/covenant/league which they will break with Israel in the middle of it by either stopping sacrifices at a 3rd temple or (I believe) by removing or taking away the Western (Wailing) Wall where sacrifices of prayers are offered daily (completing Mt.24:1-2 “see all this?”). And 3.5 years plus 30 days later is when shall be set up the final abomination that desolates(?) This time upon the human temple made for God? Perhaps with behavior modification? And tracking.. Maybe lauded as a step up in ‘evolution’? Or.. who knows? A vaccine you cannot buy or sell without. “But – blessed – are those who wait and come to 45 days later”. With the last “ten days” escalating to will be killed..? (Dan.12:11-12; Rev.2:10)

Another Rev. character is today’s false prophet who has a widely believed false prophecy and many modern miracles and wonders. ‘He’ also has a “strong delusion” which “seats man in the temple of God, convincing himself he is god”/highest power deciding good and evil. A strong (but ridiculous, lol) delusion which has caused cultural “falling away” from the faith. He enabled 13:13 and will give the beast 666.

Rev.12:16 suggests drought, and out of the smoke of it, plus war, shall come widespread marshall law for five months? (Rev.9:3,9) The sun will give less light (through the smoke) and the moon will reflect red. Then will be seen the Son of man coming on the clouds with great glory and He will send His angels to gather His believers from all directions of the Earth. (Mt.24:29-31)

“He comes in fire with His angels” 2Thess.1:7-8, and “gathers His wheat into His barn” just barely after the tares have gathered to armageddon in Gehenna Valley.. with enough chain reaction to make the “Earth shake to and fro?” and “oil to flow high as horse’s bridles..?” (Isaiah 24:20; Mt.13:30; Rev.14; and 16:14,15,16!)

Forth Conquering

Revelation 6:2 - “And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.”

“bow” - “toxon - a bow.. from the base of tikto; a bow (apparently as the simplest fabric).. tiktó: to beget, bring forth ... to bring forth, bear, produce (fruit from the seed); properly, of women giving birth” - reminds me of Revelation 12:1 and Galatians where Paul calls Jesus THE seed.. (tikti cont.) “who draws out at length the comparison of the earth to a mother” but there’s the gnostic one! The foggy ghost.. rides with the real one (throughout the age). Tikto - “from a prim. root tek-“ ...There was no link to tek, and I’ve already gone further than I intended. (Lol)

The fourth Seal broken open on the Revelation scroll is called the pale rider (of pestilence).. Have we seen this rider in the past? There were some HUGE ones. So how can we say this rider rides only during a span of seven years? [Seven years is the treaty/covenant/league.. the one that gets broken with Israel. Dn.12:11; Mt.24:1-2]

Back to Seal one (One)

The Rev.19’s rider on a white horse is a flashback to Seal 1’s beginning. A condensing of the middle. And a description of its end.

“And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.” Rev.6:2

Colossians 2:15 - (Jesus) “having overcome all powers and principalities, openly triumphed over them” (when He conquered death).

Colossians 1:6 - “All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.”

The Gospel “good news to all” went forth conquering! And to conquer! Is still riding..

Next short study “crown” in this verse (Rev.6:2, first Seal).

The Visions Of Daniel Explained As An Image

click to enlarge

key words - A.C., Babylon, beast, falling away, false prophet, Greece, greek, greek roman, Israel, roman, Palestine, Rome, Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar's dream 

An Unholy Trinity

Unholy Trinity Of Last ‘Hours’

First in the last ‘hours’ unholy trinity is a world beast/body with iron/bronze - a Roman/Graeco institution of Rev.13:1-6; Dan.7:7,19-20 with 2:31-45. It is awaiting breath/authority from its head (#2) which expired but is then resurrected (when it finally, heartily, signs on)..

The 2nd member of the unholy trinity is the “beast coming up out of the earth” of Rev.13:11, who assists the world rule, performing satanic miracles/modern miracles and wonders, like at the breaking open of Seal 6 - but the seal’s full effect to the ‘end’ is described at its first occurrence, which was HUGE, and was the same event told in Revelation 13:13, which event pinpoints an OFFICE, not an individual. Who again prominent in last ‘hours’, will cause the nations to worship (have allegience to) the image of the beast, the last great idol to replace God Most High (Rev.13:12-15). He will have power of the economics of the world, causing that only those who worship the beast can buy or sell. (Rev.13:16; Dan.12:12?)

And 3rd - is the “the false prophet”/teacher of man’s own theory of ‘life’, who is mentioned in Revelation 19:20. Or is that theory. The false prophet and theory is the enabler and propagandist for the (coming) world rule, because ‘his’ “strong delusion” causes western civilization, once called Christendom, to “fall away” from the faith (and into dissolution). And it “seats man in the temple of God” as highest power, choosing good and evil “showing himself that he is god” and thus should rule - for survival of the fittest to save the planet and man’s ‘evolution’.

Strength And Keys From Revelation - The Book Of

In deciphering the mysterious Book of Revelation, there are keys. It’s hard to give the keys away.

A first thing to consider is Prophecy telescopes. In Bible prophecy, like the two advents of the Lord, there is usually a more or less ‘immediate’ fulfillment of smaller scope, and a later, with an ‘end of days’ widespread, or even global fulfillment. The Greek word translated “end” is “telos” from the root word “tel” and it more closely means “end-aim”. [Apocalypse is the natural end-aim of the way which is not “THE” Way which is the only way which is Life.]

#1. The first horseman of the apocalypse is riding a white horse and is riding forth conquering and to conquer. The word conquer, even in the original - “nikao” the Greek - implies a battle and means to “overcome”. The horses (and seals) continue their rides to the ‘end’.
     “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in Christ's triumphal procession, and through us, spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place” - 2 Corinthians 2:14.
     “For everyone having been born of God overcomes (nikao - conquers, prevails, overcomes) the world; and this is the victory having overcome (nikao) the world: our faith” - 1 John 5:4. This seal is our strength. Our “helmet of salvation”(?) and is the “second thunder”(?)

#2. The seals, especially the sixth, are described in their totality of effect from first to last “at the end”, not just of the first occurrence when the seal is broken open. This blurs the vision by describing at the beginning of the vision, things which occur VERY late on the planet.

#3. Chapter 12 is an insert and total history from the birth of the Son of man (manchild) to the gathering to Armageddon to “wage war” - but which verse Matthew 23:39 is needed.

#4 (Or #3.5, lol.) Verse 13:13 does not pinpoint an individual, but pinpoints an office! A HUGE event which was the first occurrence of the 6th seal.

Concerning Other (Related) Bible Prophecy

An interpretation (or two) not widely known -

The “strong delusion” of the “false prophet”/teacher/teaching/theory “seats man in the seat of God, telling him he is god” (highest power, deciding good and evil).

When the ‘last days’ daily (“perpetual”) sacrifice is taken away, there needn’t absolutely be a “third temple”. For there is a place currently in Jerusalem where sacrifices of prayer and thanksgiving are offered daily and indeed, perpetually. And the Lord Jesus did say when the temple complex was referred to, in Matthew 24:1-2, that “not one stone would remain atop another”. — This, as you may know, concerns the prophecy and the counting of days of Daniel 12:11 and 12.

One more thing! There is a largely overlooked cross reference and detail between the larger ‘beast’ of Revelation 13, and the one “more terrible” of Daniel chapter 7, verses 7 and 19-20. (Beasts in Bible prophecy are human governings or kings.)

Note the “ten horns” of each description. But in verse 20, we see the beast with ten horns has in it, iron and bronze, which in Daniel chapter 2 is a part of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream statue - of Daniel 2:31-35 - which represents man’s empires which have to do with Israel, thus featured prominently in God’s truth proving and living documentary of the ages. Most reliable eschatology regards these as Roman (the iron) and Greek (the bronze). Meaning, surely(?) the final world beast more terrible will have Roman/Greek influence and roots. That is to say, it will be of Western Civilization - once called Christendom, but having “fallen away” from the faith via the “strong delusion” of the false prophet of these latter/modern days, and will form the large beast more terrible than any other, to replace God Most High.

Notice the ten toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream statue, part/some? iron, some not, but “clay” and “they won’t really unite”.. and how the ten horns of the larger beast “is ten kings (seats) of the last hour” - Revelation 17:16-17. These, along with the big beast will devour $ity Babylon (and on). Socialism will finally do away with Capitalism (gone both extreme and harlot/“pornos” thus “destroying the Earth and nations” (cultures) and all seven continents/hills.
