The Mysteries of Prophecy Revealed

Why did God number the events mentioned in the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials, which was a method that was definitely NEW in Bible prophecy? In fact, the only prophetic events God has ever given in His Word that follows a sequential order were: “the Wars Fought Over Palestine from 323-175 BC between the Kings of the North – Babylonia (Syria) and the Kings of the South – Egypt,” which are found in the Book of Daniel the eleventh chapter. Even though these war and kings are given in sequential order as these kings lived and fought these battles, God did not NUMBER these EVENTS as He did in the Book of Revelation! Therefore, this Book is King of all prophetic writings in the Word of God, and the Key to understanding the TIMING of many of the events mentioned in them!!

This author is well aware from the many books he has read on prophecy, that many prophetic interpreters disregard God’s NUMERICAL SYSTEM in this great Book, as though it had no real value in understanding Bible Prophecy. Not only this, but they do the very same thing with the WORDS and CONTEXT God uses to reveal these prophetic events. This author avowals that he is committed to a literal interpretation of God’s SEQUENTIAL NUMERIC SYSTEM, as well as allowing the Word of God to interpret its own symbolism. This author strongly believes that the EVENTS in chapters 1-10 are all in a SEQUENTIAL CONSECUTIVE ORDER, and chapters 11-18 are “Inserted Events that Transpire in the Last Three and Half Years of the Great Tribulation Period.”

Some of the questions this book will answer are: Will the New Covenant of Jesus’ Precious Sinless Blood end with the Pretribulation Rapture and Resurrection, if it does as some claim, can anyone be saved without God’s grace, that is, our Savior’s Sinless Blood? What did Jesus teach in His parables concerning the length of time His Mystery Kingdom, i.e. the Church Age, will last? Is the Antichrist a man or a spirit? Will the Antichrist come from the nation of Iraq?

Does the Bible give the Man of Lawlessness’ genealogy, or in other words, will the Antichrist come from the Jewish tribe of Dan and also the Seleucid dynasty of Grecian Kings? Will the Antichrist begin his rise to power as a religious leader, military leader, or as a political leader? Is the second seal in the six chapter of Revelation speaking of: “wars between nations,” “world anarchy,” or “both”? Does the pair of scales in the man’s hand, in the third seal, represent world famine or the Antichrist’s control of world trade?

Will the ten European Kings and kingdoms be Catholic? Will the Seventh Empire of the Antichrist be composed of European nations or will it be composed of the nations of the Middle East, Western Asia, Southern Asia, and North Africa? Will the Beast with Seven Heads and Tens Horns be an Empire or the Antichrist as a King over the Nations or both? Will Gog and his great army invade Palestine once or twice? Will the Antichrist be killed by Gog in the middle of the Tribulation Period, and if so, will he be resurrected from the dead? During the sixth seal period will meteorites crash into the earth, and if so, will the earth be moved out of its orbit? During the time of God’s Wrath will God shorten the time of day from a 24-hour day to a 16-hour day, if so how will this be possible?

In the seventh chapter of Revelation are the 144,000 literal or spiritual Jews, or are they both, also what is their sealing? Who are the two prophets mentioned in the eleven chapter of Revelation, and what is their ministry? Who is Mystery Babylon the mother of all false religions? These are a few of the questions that will be answered in this book. So with these questions in mind, let us begin our examination of God’s Book of Revelation. Visit http://doctrinesofchrist.com/
