¹ The Reuelation of Iesus Christ, which God gaue vnto him, to shewe vnto his seruants things which must shortly come to passe; and he sent and signified it by his Angel vnto his seruant Iohn,

² Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimonie of Iesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

³ Blessed is hee that readeth, and they that heare the words of this prophesie, and keepe those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

⁴ Iohn to the seuen Churches in Asia, Grace be vnto you, & peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come, and from the seuen spirits which are before his throne:

⁵ And from Iesus Christ, who is the faithful witnesse, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth: vnto him that loued vs, and washed vs from our sinnes in his owne blood,

⁶ And hath made vs Kings and Priests vnto God and his Father: to him be glory and dominion for euer and euer, Amen.

⁷ Behold he commeth with clouds, and euery eye shal see him, and they also which pearced him: and all kinreds of the earth shall waile because of him: euen so. Amen.

⁸ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

⁹ I Iohn, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdome and patience of Iesus Christ, was in the Isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimonie of Iesus Christ.

¹⁰ I was in the spirit on the Lords day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

¹¹ Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and what thou seest, write in a booke, and send it vnto the seuen Churches which are in Asia, vnto Ephesus, and vnto Smyrna, and vnto Pergamos, and vnto Thyatira, and vnto Sardis, and Philadelphia, and vnto Laodicea.

¹² And I turned to see the voice that spake with mee. And being turned, I saw seuen golden Candlesticks,

¹³ And in the midst of the seuen candlestickes, one like vnto the Sonne of man, clothed with a garment downe to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

¹⁴ His head, and his haires were white like wooll as white as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,

¹⁵ And his feet like vnto fine brasse, as if they burned in a furnace: and his voice as the sound of many waters.

¹⁶ And hee had in his right hand seuen starres: and out of his mouth went a sharpe two edged sword: and his countenance was as the Sunne shineth in his strength.

¹⁷ And when I sawe him, I fell at his feete as dead: and hee laid his right hand vpon me, saying vnto mee, Feare not, I am the first, and the last.

¹⁸ I am hee that liueth, and was dead: and behold, I am aliue for euermore, Amen, and haue the keyes of hell and of death.

¹⁹ Write the things which thou hast seene, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter,

²⁰ The mysterie of the seuen starres which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seuen golden Candlestickes. The seuen Starres are the Angels of the seuen Churches: and the seuen candlestickes which thou sawest, are the seuen Churches.

Identifying the serpent is key. The same serpent that tricked Eve in the garden of Eden is the same one who's tail will sweep a third of the starts out of the sky. Pluto, in another mythology, gave Persephone a pomegranate which she choked on. The "new heaven and new earth" seems to be created by this collision. I'm even going to go so far as to say that it was encoded into the Disney's Hercules. Hades/Pluto says he's going to rearrange the cosmos and the one idiot who can get in the way is running around in the woods. The flames around the cartoon character grow and if you pause it, you can see that they spell "Jesus." In Revelations Jesus or "The Son of Man" is amidst the Lion, Ox, and Eagle. The four living creatures are the four fixed signs. Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius. Therefore, Hecules/Jesus is the 4th fixed sign Aquarius which is ruled by Uranus. If you read into it, you will find that Uranus might possibly collie with Pluto.
The cartoon made in 1997 states "in 18 years, precisely, the planets align very nicely... a word of caution to this tale, should Hercules fight, you (pluto/hades) will fail." 1997 + 18 = 2015. Beauty and The Beast does this, too. 1991. "The rose she had offered was truly and enchanted rose which would bloom until his 21st year." 1991 + 21 = 2012 The rose is a symbol of Venus because the bud opens to form a five pointed star. Venus has an elliptical orbit which causes her to cross the sun. She does this in 2012. The four horseman in Revelations are Death, Scorpio. Scales, Libra. Bow, Sagittarius. Sword Aries.
"The last days" are the Age of Pisces.

Like all of Revelations we need to read more often and take heed lest we find ourselves not ready.

Bill's Revelation Chapter 1 comment on 5/05/2012, 4:35am...

Studying history, one can only notice that throughout history religious men have percieved the apocalypse in their own time from Revs 1:1.Reading canon histories from across medieval europe they are all cirtain they live in the end of days. I personally deem 2000 years not a short period of time. Is this not more apt for creationist followers of the bible who see the world as 4000 years old. Could this be wrong? Or was the biblical perception of time different to modern social norms?

Or is it as it always is when a religious person is wrong, a metphor and not real?

Don't waste your time speculating as to where, when and how he will return. He has already told us to "Work as if you had a thousand years to go and live as if He is coming today". Take care of what He has given you and thank Him for what he has in store for you. Faith is a difficult thing to aquire, but it is what will bring us through the struggles we have to face. Just keep in mind His words of caution, "We struggle not against flesh and blood, but powers and principalities in high places". It's not our war to win, but we will be part of the army that wins the final battle. "Rejoice your redemption drawth neigh" Keep America a Christian Nation and He will reward you.

LOVE IT ALL

Ezra's Revelation Chapter 1 comment on 3/30/2012, 8:48pm...

John was describing the actual appearance of Christ. It emphasize the color of him, his hair texture, feet, and the garments he wore. verse 14 began the description.

Garyloyd's Revelation Chapter 1 comment on 3/29/2012, 4:24am...

God sent Jesus. When Christ went to the cross He was just a man of flesh. PAIN. The only thing special about Jesus and the only way He walked that walk was that special love in His heart for us who love Him. A click of His fingers and He could have 10,0000 angels stop the pain but He loved us and wanted us to have life thru His loving heart we are saved. Remember God the Holy Spirit is the Law and the Great white throne Judgment. Love Jesus, he is the Love of God.

Garyloyd's Revelation Chapter 1 comment on 3/29/2012, 4:14am...

Jesus asked 3 times who do you disciples think "I AM" Jesus said, before Abraham I was. In Isaiah God makes it clear that there is only the God and Savour. God is a Spirit who sits on Earth and puts his feet on the moon who sent Himself and will join back together in Revelation 20 on the Throne to complete His Plan. Ask in your prayers to God in Jesus Christ name. One God. Many places in the scripture you can see who the WORD is God and that is Christ and Christ is Jesus. The wonderful Mystery of the Perfect God and loving Father our Wonderful Jesus and King of kings and LORD of Lords.
