Revelation
Fulfilled
Unveiling
the Mystery of the Book of Revelation
For the past 2,000 years, most Christians have been wondering what the
visions in the Book of Revelation really mean.
Most people thought the visions on the scroll prophesied the
disasters at the End Time, either pre-tribulation or
post-tribulation. Unfortunately, or fortunately, all these
past interpretations are incorrect.
The
reason people have such a misconception for a long time is that
people tried to fit all the visions in the Book of Revelation
into the "70th Week" in the prophecy of the
"Seventy-Weeks" in the Book of Daniel (Daniel
9:24-27), but they might forget that in the Book of Daniel, the vision
of the Four Beasts prophesied the rising of four kingdoms -
Babylon, Medo-Persia, Macedon-Greece and the Roman Empire, which
lasted over six hundred years from 600 BC to the 1st century AD. How could all the visions in the
Book of Revelation, including the coming of the Four Riders, fit
into a "Seven-year" period at the "End
Time"?
In
fact, God even gave a direct hint in the Book of Revelation,
which most people did not pay attention to. At the
beginning of Chapter 4 of the Book of Revelation, the voice of
God told John:
Come
up here, and I will show you what must take place after this
(hereafter, KJV).
(Revelation 4:1)
This clearly indicates
that the visions in the Book of Revelation starting from Chapter
6 are not about the disasters at the "End Time" two thousand years
later, but about the major historical events starting after the
first century all the way to the New Millennium. Just like the
visions in the Book of Daniel prophesied the major historical
events of the rising of four kingdoms that lasted over 600
years, the visions in the Book of Revelation also prophesied the
major historical events in the Christian history in the last two
thousand years up to the New Millennium.
Now, for the first time in two thousand
years, the mystery of the Book of Revelation is finally decoded. It not only
prophesies the major
historical events in the Christian history in the last two thousand years, but
also reveals the true situation in heaven, which most people
misunderstood in the past.
|
The Book of
Revelation is composed of three parts:
I. The Seven
Letters to the Seven Churches (Revelation 1-3)
The Seven
Letters to the Seven Churches not only contained the messages of Christ for
the early churches, but also contained the prophetic meaning for the Seven
Historical Periods in the Christian history in the last two thousand years.
II. The Vision
of Heaven (Revelation 4-5)
The Vision of
Heaven revealed the real phenomenon in the spiritual realm, including the
Father on the Great Throne, the twenty-four Elders on the thrones and the
Lamb in the center of thrones, which has been misunderstood in the past two
thousand years.
III. The Visions
on the Scroll for the Future (Revelation 6-22)
The Visions on
the Scroll are not the prophecies about the disasters at the "End
Time" or at the "End of the World" as most people believed,
but about the major historical events in the Christian history in the last
two thousand years.
Now,
let's decode the prophecies in the Book of Revelation in details
through the book, Revelation Fulfilled.
|
I. The Seven
Letters to the Seven Churches (Revelation 1-3)
Although the Seven Letters were written
to the Churches in the first century, as a part of this book of prophecy, these
seven letters did contain their prophetic meanings:
|

(For detailed explanation, please read
the book, Revelation Fulfilled.)
II. The Vision
of Heaven (Revelation 4-5)
At the beginning of Chapter 4 of the
Book of Revelation, John was spiritually lifted into heaven and he saw the
visions in heaven which no one else had seen and revealed before:
-
The One who sits on the Great
Throne - the Holy Father
-
The Twenty-Four Elders sitting
on the throne surrounding the Great Throne
-
The Four Living Creatures with
six wings and covered with eyes all around
-
The Lamb standing in the center
of the throne, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders
The vision of the One sitting on the
Great Throne and the Twenty-Four Elders sitting on the throne surrounding Him
is similar to the scene described in many religions of polytheism. The only
difference is the title of these twenty-four elders. In monotheism, they are
called Elders, but in polytheism they are also called Gods or Lords as they
are all the prominent divine figures in heaven, otherwise they could not sit
on the thrones along with the Holy Father.
The vision of the One who sits on the
Great Throne and the Lamb who stands in front of the Great Throne reflects the
true relationship of the Holy Father and the Holy Son.
In the past two thousand years, most
people didn't fully understand the concept of the Trinity and they thought
the Holy Father and the Holy Son are One in the Heavenly Body. But in Chapter 4
and 5 of the Book of Revelation, John saw the Holy Father and the Holy Son as
two separate divine entities in heaven, the Holy Father sitting on the Great Throne and
the Lamb the Holy Son standing in front of the great throne.
After the Lamb, the Holy Son, completed
His mission of salvation by sacrificing himself as the redemption of human sins, all the angels encircled the throne and sang the praise to the Lamb,
Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory
and praise!
(Revelation 5:12)
In the end, every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them singing:
To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb,
Be praise and honor and glory and power,
For ever and ever! (Revelation 5:13)
This means
they are singing praise and honor to BOTH the Holy Father, the One who sits on
the throne, and the Holy Son, the Lamb. They are TWO separate heavenly figures
but ONE in Spirit, the Holy Spirit. That's the true meaning of the Trinity.
For detailed explanation, please read the
book, Revelation Fulfilled.
III. The Visions
on the Scroll for the Future (Revelation 6-22)
The
third part of the Book of Revelation is visions on the scroll from Chapter 6 to
22 of the Book of Revelation, which is the hardest part to understand in the
Book of Revelation. Because the prophecies of God are not supposed to be decoded
until they are fulfilled, that's why the mystery of the visions on the scroll
has been sealed for the last two thousand years, just like what the Lord told
Daniel in the Book of Daniel to "close up and seal the words of the
scroll until the time of the end when many will go here and there to increase
knowledge." (Daniel 12:4)
Now,
as the time "when many will go here and there to
increase knowledge" has already come and the prophecies in the Book of Revelation are mostly
fulfilled, it is the time to unveil the 2,000-year Mystery of the Book of Revelation. The
visions on the scroll are not about the disasters at the
"End Time", but about major historical events in the
last two thousand years. Here are the major historical events prophesied in
