    REVELATION 13:17

    May the Spirit grace us with his wisdom and his understanding.

    Revelation 1:1-3 The Revelation of Jesus Christ .....things that must shortly come to pass.....and signified....

    (vs 3) Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things that are written therein: FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND.

    Most will study Revelation and never apply these verses to the truth of the rest of Revelation.

    Signified: the nouns are symbols of something other than there definition as denoted by a dictionary. There definition can be found hidden in other scriptures in God's word.

    Example:

    Luke 8:5 ....and the fowls of the air devoured it.

    Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this...

    Luke 8:12 ....then cometh the DEVIL (fowls of the air)

    Luke 13:19 (A PARABLE) It (kingdom of heaven) is like a grain of mustard seed....and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

    John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches (where the fowls of the air dwell)....WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING.

    Revelation 2:13 ....Even where Satan's seat is...

    Matthew 12:28 But if I CAST OUT DEVIL'S by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God (Christ in you) is come in unto you.

    Revelation 12:7-10 And there was war in heaven (where is the kingdom of heaven; CHRIST IN YOU, heaven is YOU): Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

    (vs 8) And prevailed not, neither was THEIR place found anymore in heaven (in you)

    (vs 9) And the great dragon was cast out......

    (vs 10) and I heard a loud voice (Holy Spirit) saying, Now is salvation... strength..and the kingdom....

    Must shortly come to pass: the revealing of Jesus Christ, he is the kingdom of heaven: CHRIST IN YOU has to happen in before your physical body dies.

    The time is at hand: If you were alive 1800 years ago these words were would have declared the kingdom of heaven to you just as they are declaring the kingdom of heaven to the person reading them at the instance.
