Now we come to the opening of the seventh seal. As each previous seal was opened John recorded what he saw happening on the earth–symbolic signs that represented actual world events occurring in time-order. Now let us read what he recorded following the opening of the seventh seal: “And when He had opened the seventh […]

As this study nears its end we find ourselves approaching the seventh seal whose unsealing will reveal what is to take place during the coming DAY OF THE LORD–the year-long period during which God will inflict His wrath on sinning man. For the past 2 1/2 years (the Great Tribulation) Satan has been pouring out […]

At this point let us look at something else Jesus said concerning the events to take place just prior to His return. “And THIS gospel of the kingdom (of God) shall go forth as a witness unto all nations, and THEN the end shall come” (Mat. 24:14). Here he presents us with another sign identifying the […]

As we prepare to witness the opening of the fifth seal Jesus warns us about what will happen just prior to the revealing of what lies beneath it–PERSECUTION. In Matthew 24:9 He warns: “Then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations (people) […]

In Revelation 6:3,4 we read: “He opened the second seal … and there went out another horse that was red, and power was given to him who sat thereon to TAKE PEACE FROM THE EARTH using a great sword (military weapons). In Matthew 24:6,7 we find Jesus saying: “… and ye shall hear of wars […]

In the first two verses of the Revelation we learn that what we are about to read is not John’s revelation, as it is often called. It is “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him to show His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He (God) sent and signified […]

Please bear with me as I interrupt the flow of postings relative to the Book of Revelation. Some things need to be said concerning the massacre that took place last evening in Paris. Billions of people around the world are today asking: Why? For years I have been answering that question for anyone who would […]

As this age approaches its end it is obvious that every area of man’s existence is changing exponentially in size, scope and personal impact. So much so that it is impossible to accurately predict what the world will be like ten years from now in terms of information availability, social change, political movements, travel, military […]

As stated earlier, some information God provides for mankind has both time and choice elements, meaning that there was a set time when He broke the spiritual seals and began to reveal to those who believe Him what had been hidden from mankind for many generations. Recall that He told Daniel to “seal up the […]
