Six seals have been opened. John has witnessed the devastation following each revealing. Now the Lamb opens the seventh seal: “And when He had opened the seventh seal there was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour …. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were […]

The 2 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation have passed. Devastation abounds. What’s left of mankind is in a panic. Multitudes have been beheaded for embracing Jesus Christ and are asking God “how long” until He wreaks vengeance on their killers. The much-anticipated rapture has not taken place. The Antichrist and False Prophet rule the […]

God has just told John that the effects of the four horsemen was merely the BEGINNING OF SORROWS. Saints no longer have to wonder what will take place following that BEGINNING as God has revealed to us the particulars concerning the world-wide holocaust that is coming. First, we must understand this: The four horsemen began […]

In chapter six we find Jesus opening the first six seals of the scroll. For some 2000 years these “locks” have kept men from previewing the events projected to take place in the latter days, just as Daniel was told would happen. John watched as Jesus opened the first seal: “And I saw … a […]

The message God gave to Jesus to give to the Apostle John began with sober warnings to His churches in Asia Minor scattered along a Roman road system. He was speaking to each church relative to its spiritual condition. His descriptions were harbingers of the condition of the Institutional Church during the seven church eras […]

What makes the Book of Revelation so complicated for the masses is that it was given to John in the form of SYMBOLS, then was SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS. Anciently, seals were applied to keep the sealed object from being breached. The measure taken to keep Christ’s tomb from being opened is a case in […]

Having briefly mentioned the Book of Revelation (Apocalypse–revealing) in the previous postings, I feel that this is a good time to go into the much-discussed but much missunderstood tome in order to see exactly what God is telling mankind. This book has remained a mystery–until now. As this study will show, some things God will […]

Both Jesus and Paul declared that the time of testing of the saints would continue until the APPEARING (epiphaneia) of the Lord. How could they continue to be tested if they had been raptured seven years earlier? In First Timothy 6:14 Paul admonishes Timothy to “… keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable until the APPEARING […]

Those who believe in a secret rapture believe that the end of the age does not arrive at the coming (parousia) of the Lord, but rather seven years later at His appearing (ephipaneia) and revealing (apokalupsis). Both cannot be correct. Jesus’ own words found in Matthew 24:37-39 prove that there can be no SECRET coming […]

In the two previous postings I have shown that nowhere in the Book of Revelation, which depicts the final years of this age in graphic detail, is a so-called “rapture” mentioned by the One Who would know if such a happening is destined to take place. Notice that the Lord’s disciples, who knew that He […]
