If you have questions about a particular Revelation study, please read the related studies, as they might answer your question.
If you want your question posted for others to see your point of view on the topic, please post your question on the page of the study.
If you disagree with an explanation, please provide scriptural evidence for your position.
Just saying that you disagree, or that your Pastor or a top radio/TV preacher
teaches differently, is not enough.
For we must rely on scripture and the historical fulfillment of prophecy, not on
speculations that have no proof.

I was going threw your material and I seen this. From what I have found it is not right.
Seventh Day Adventist teachers say that the 2,300 days of Daniel 8 was 2,300 years, which began at the same time as the 70 weeks of Daniel, in 457 B.C. So based on that they proclaimed that Messiah would return in 1844 A.D. Obviously He did not.
It was not SDA it was Miller and hundreds of other prophecy teachers of all domination at that time, that thought prophecy was pointing to the second coming. The SDA teaching I have seen do not preach that and explain Miller and others, the reason he thought it was the second coming.
SDA came about after that disappointment.
Look in to it.
Right Todd, it was the Millerites. And instead of learning why their prophecy fulfillment explanation was wrong, the SDA church proclaims that Messiah entered into His Investigative Judgment in 1844. So they are still getting the prophecy in Daniel 8 wrong. Here’s a satudy about it http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/daniel-8-2300-days-geneva-study-bible-refutes-sda-2300-years-1844-bible/
If you would like to know what is in the little book send me an email.
Hi Ron, here is the study on the Little Book of Revelation 10, which is the printed Bible. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-little-book-of-revelation-10/
Hi David,
I will introduce myself first, as I expect to be posting further questions.
I completed a diploma in pastoral ministry in 2015 through my local Church body. I am an avid student of the Word, ancient and modern history, and a disciple of Jesus Christ. I have His deep abiding peace in me constantly, it is amazing. I also have a great thirst for the Truth in all its forms, and to share the Truth with others. I was born again in late 2010, healed of cancer, delivered from demonic oppression, and dived straight into the local Bible College in early 2011. I have run home fellowship groups since 2012, sometimes with up to 45 people, usually from my home. Our group attracts a wide variety believers with differing backgrounds, and not just from my local Church body (international school / university students, Baptists, AOG, Salvation Army, Methodist, Adventists, Sabbatarians, C3, and some non-denominational believers who do not attend any denominational services). We have some interesting discussions, and yes disagreements at times that can on rare occasion become heated. We have seen many answers to prayer in the group over the years, and especially in my own personal and family life.
I have come to see that there is so much deception and wrong teaching in the body of Christ. I don’t believe any of us have perfect doctrine in every area this side Heaven, though some of us will be closer to the “mark”.
I had largely avoided eschatology, until a year ago, as the Lord has had my focus in other areas. I never really had the strong futurist view of end times prophecy in scripture that my local church leans toward, as it is never really backed up by scripture for me. Anyway, I decided it was time to get into some study on eschatology, after both genuine questions and dogmatic positions were presented by members during some of our more recent meetings. I looked at all the mainstream views and fairly quickly moved into the historicist interpretation of Daniel, Revelation, NT books. This was before I found your material online. Love most of your interpretation, but for a few things?
This is as honest question and not an attack. I consider myself a student of scripture and history.
Your fourth trumpet page has an additional studies link video that promotes “Lost Tribes of Israel” doctrine: Revelation – Part 15 The Fourth Trumpet Judgment by Bill Sanford video.
Do you also promote the “Lost Tribes of Israel” as still being lost? On rare occasions, I have believers in my home fellowship group that bring up this doctrine or something related, which I do not agree with, as this is not what I read in scripture. The commentaries below each discuss how scripture shows that all 12 tribes returned prior to the first coming of Christ. I do not agree with some of their other extra-Biblical interpretation and additions:

Blessings from a brother in Christ,

Thank you for sharing your story Peter! That’s great that you can see the historical perspective of prophecy fulfillment!
Bill Sanford’s mention of the “Lost Tribes of Israel” was so brief, that I didn’t really catch it before. No, I don’t subscribe to the lost tribes of Israel. Messiah came for the House of Israel. He fulfilled the promise to the House of Israel, that is recorded in Isaiah 9, when the first place that He preached was in the land of Zebulun and Naphtali in Galilee, the parts that principally suffered in the first Assyrian invasion.
Messiah spent most of His time in Galilee, not Jerusalem. And Galilee, where most of His disciples were from, is where the tribes of Israel had returned to live.
Here’s a study called “The Regathering Deception” that gives more detail. http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/the-regathering-deception/
Blessings to you my brother,
David
Hi David,
In my 37 years of existence, at last I found someone who can explain the events in Revelation and Prophesies in detailed manner, supported with facts. I read lots of studies in this website and honestly, I have never been enlightened like this before, thank you for your hard work. Let me just have a short introduction about me. My entire family are catholic and so do I. I started reading the Bible when I was 17 and I admit that I don’t understand 98% of what I’ve read. One day, while I was sitting in the church, someone approached me if I wanted to study the Bible and since I already have the urge and willingness to learn and understand what the Bible says I continue with the journey. After the series of studies, It was the first time in my life that I’ve realized how sinful I am and unworthy to enter His Kingdom. I came out from the catholic church in 2000 and decided to repent and got baptized by immersion in my new church. After 2 years attending the church, I went back to my old wrong doings and the pastor decided to kick me out of the congregation. I’ve never attended any church since then….Upon reading your studies, I realized that even the church that I joined after leaving catholic is not the true church. Please let me know how can I join your group.
Hi Rod, thank you for sharing your story! The great theologians of the 16th-2th centuries explained the fulfillment of Revelation, but their witness has been pushed aside. My mission is to summarize their teachings in concise studies, to help people see the truth of the historical fulfillment of most of Revelation.
Sadly, my Baptist and Calvary Chapel Church pastors did not teach me any of the historical fulfillment.
As you noted, Protestant Churches are merely daughters of the Harlot of Rome.
If you’re on Facebook, you can connect on my End Times Bible Prophecy group @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/endtimesdeceptions/
You can watch some videos that I recorded that explain prophecy fulfillment on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFWzHumtLyHeBwcFl_07ntA
Contact me anytime with questions or insight about the studies.
Keep learning and growing in The Way!

Way back, they had their title or rank displayed on their thigh cause they had a garment that went down to the thigh. Easier to pick them out in a crowd. Like military buttons and pins displayed on the chest (today). Easier to sew at the end of a garment then the middle.
Thanks for sharing your insight Bernard! 🙂
