The Gospel in Revelation
And from Jesus Christ,....
the first begotten of the dead,
...Unto Him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in His own blood,...
Revelation 1:5
"Christ hung upon a cross;
He was not offered in a temple.
He was offered before the eyes of God,and there He still abides.
The cross is an altar in a spiritual sense.
The material cross was indeed visible,
but none knew it as Christ’s altar.
Again,
--His prayer,
--His sprinkled blood,
--His burnt incense...."
Martin Luther
Divine Locksmith of the Grave
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.
And He laid His right hand upon me, 
saying unto me,
Fear not; I am the first and the last:
I am the living one.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia:
I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever!
And I hold the keys of death and the grave.

Grace be unto you, and peace,
from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come;
and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne;
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book,
and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia;
unto Ephesus,
and unto Smyrna,
and unto Pergamos,
and unto Thyatira,
and unto Sardis,
and unto Philadelphia,
and unto Laodicea.
Revelation 1:4,11
Special Message for Laodicea SIMPLIFIED: "You know the truth, you believe the truth, you even love the truth.
But the truth hasn't changed you.
Let the truth change you."

Let the truth change you."

and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation 8:2-5
"The fire is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and the incense represents the prayers of the saints mingled the merits of Jesus." Stephen Bohr

Revelation 16:1
And the winepress was trodden without the city,
and blood came out of the winepress,
even unto the horse bridles,
by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 14:18-20
1600 is 4x4x100.
It represents completeness of the four corners of the earth.
The 3 Angel's Messages Decoded

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,....
Revelation 14:6
3 Angel's Message Simplified:1st Angel's Message:
Called to the True WORSHIP of God
2nd Angel's Message:
Called away from the False WORSHIP of God
3rd Angel's Message:
The showdown over the 2 forms of WORSHIP of God
---As innocent Abel fell before Cain (who received a mark) so too
Not as Cain,
who was of that wicked one,
and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him?
Because his own works were evil,
and his brother's righteous.
1 John 3:12
The Mark of the Beast Decoded
[Click on Pic below for Detailed Analysis]
Revelation 14:9,10
1) Christ Reflected God's Image through Obedience to the Father.
The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God,....
--And being found in fashion as a man,
--He humbled Himself,
--and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Hebrews 1:3 NLT /Philippians 2:8
2) Lucifer's "image" would therefore be one of Disobedience....
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image,...
Revelation 14:9
Q: How do they "worship" the Image of the Beast?
A: Obviously by venerating, giving homage to, going along with, his DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD by Law on a Global Scale.
Dan, Ephraim & the 144,000
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. Revelation 14:1
Q: Why are Dan & Ephraim missing from the list of the 144,000 in Revelation?
The 12 tribes had a head tribe on each side of the Sanctuary.
East - Judah (the Sanctuary faced east. Christ is the Lion of Judah, roaring back to save His people through the plan of Redemption laid out in the Sanctuary. Outer Court/JUSTIFICATION, Inner Court/SANCTIFICATION, Most Holy Place/Judgment)
South - Reuben (Egypt was to the south of Israel- the 1st born of Egypt died in the plague. Reuben was the 1st born- so think spiritual "Egypt" represented here--the non-believing world)
West - Ephraim (God's people at the other end of from Judah patiently waiting for His return that follows the Judgment)
North - Dan (the tribe that led Israel into idolatry more than once. Babylon was to the north of Israel. So think of this as spiritual "Babylon")
A: IF Dan represents spiritual "Babylon" & Ephraim God's "Remnant" people in the end times, then obviously the 144,000 (which is after the mark of the beast) would represent the Church Triumphant at His return.
No longer "Ephraim" of the Remnant (the Church Militant before the wheat & tares are separated) which held up the 3 Angel's Messages to the world (Judgment has begun, come out of Babylon & correctly identifying the mark of the beast).
**And among them would be those which came out of Babylon-hence they are no longer spiritual "Ephraim" & "Dan"- but His faithful people united...the symbolic 144,000....
To Spiritual Dan: And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 18:4
*The 144,000 is a symbolic number (not a literal number) because Prophecy is coded language. Hence the 12 tribes (representing God's people -- not literal Israelites) listed in Revelation of 12,000 each is written in a sort of Poetic fashion of Prophecy.
SUMMARY: God currently has true believers in ALL the Churches.....that's why He calls them out at the End, what He refers to as "MY PEOPLE".
The Woman of Revelation 12 Decoded
a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, (as the moon reflects the sun---so too do God's people, clothed with His righteousness, reflect His righteousness out to the darkened world)
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: (Before the cross the 12 tribes of Israel as the depository of God's Word then after the cross the Christian Church founded by the 12 apostles as the depository of God's Word)
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And she brought forth a man child, (The baby Jesus) who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne. (When He returns He will not come as a baby this time -- but as the King of Kings)
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth,
he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. (Persecution of Israel in ancient times)
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Persecution of God's End Time Remnant people)

The Millennium Decoded
[Click on Pic below for Detailed Analysis]
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison....
Revelation 20:5-7
"The Lord Jesus Himself came to this world and became a man, and lived thus among men, in order that He might be a righteous judge of those who must be lost, as well as a faithful high priest of all who shall be saved.
*And so it is written that not only the judgment is given to the saints, but: 1 Corinthians 6:2,3 Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world?
Know you not that we shall judge angels?
how much more things that pertain to this life?
This is true, because the angels that sinned, as well as wicked men, are reserved unto judgment. 2 Peter 2:4, 9; Jude 6-8.
And this judgment is given to the saints at the coming of the Lord; for it is written: 1 Corinthians 4:5 Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts.
By the righteous the Millennium is spent in the presence of God, in company with Christ, in association with all the gladsome, heavenly host.
They are priests of God and of Christ,
and reign with Him a thousand years."
J.N. Andrews
Summary of Revelation: The Great Controversy
This GREAT CONTROVERSY between God & His opponent,
Played out here on the Space Fabric of Time,
between the Twin Decrees from the Throne of God of
"LET THERE BE LIGHT" (Gen. 1:3) to "IT IS DONE" (Rev. 21:6)
-- Fought in the Battlefield of the Heart of Mankind.
And there was war in heaven:
Michael and His angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not;
neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him.
And He [Christ] said unto them,
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Revelation 12:7-9/Luke 10:18/1 Peter 5:8/Ephesians 6:12
The End
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 21:4
