This Revelation Timeline Decoded post reviews videos from David Carrico and Jon Pounders of Midnight Ride, to show you how their explanations are misleading people.
Let me start by saying that the historical fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel 9 from 27-34 AD, Messiah’s Olivet Discourse which describes events leading to the Jewish-Roman War of 66-70 AD, and most of prophecies in Revelation during the last 1,900 years; validates the authority of Scripture and the deity of Messiah. David Carrico and Jon Pounders futuristic explanations serve to hide those proofs.
The concept of a future 70th week of Daniel 9, in which a one-man antichrist appears and most of Revelation is fulfilled, is a deception from the enemy. I know that sounds crazy since most people teach these concepts, but the enemy has worked hard to mislead the end-times saints so that even the very elect are deceived. I pray that you will seek truth, not to defend a belief.
Please understand that I declare these things not because I think that I know it all, and I’m not saying that everything that David Carrico and Jon Pounders teaches is false. What I’m showing is that what they teach about prophecy fulfillment is false, because it’s based on the futuristic model that was created by the enemy to deceive the end-times saints.
I don’t proclaim this for my sake, because this isn’t about me. You can dismiss what I’m saying and defend your beliefs, but now you’re accountable and I’ve fulfilled my role as the watchman blowing the trumpet.
White Horseman of the Apocalypse and the 7 Headed Dragon video review.
David Carrico and Jon Pounders of Midnight Ride are aligning the birth pains of Matthew 24 to the seal judgments of Revelation, and applying them to the end times.
This is a false narrative, as the context of Messiah’s Olivet Discourse is the desolation of the temple that He just came out of, in which He rebuked the Jewish leaders who were seeking to kill Him. He proclaimed that judgment would come upon them in that generation. We know that within a generation, the Jewish-Roman War of 66-70 AD caused Jerusalem, the temple and the Jewish nation to be desolated. 1.1 million Jews died in and around Jerusalem from famine, pestilence, infighting, suicide, evisceration, crucifixion and by the Roman sword.
All of the things that Messiah described from Matthew 23:36 to Matthew 24:33 were fulfilled by 70 AD when the Romans desolated Jerusalem, the temple, and the Jewish nation. The enemy has deceived people about the symbolism of the sun, moon, and stars being darkened; Messiah coming in power and glory; and the elect being gathered. But the Bible gives the proper definitions for the symbols.
The term ‘this generation’ was used ten times in Matthew, the last time in Matthew 24:34. The previous nine times it points to the Jews who lived during Messiah’s first advent. When you take Messiah at His Word you see the fulfillment of His Olivet Discourse and how the things that He described took place in that generation of Jews, for their punishment of continuing their rebellion against the Father, for delivering Messiah up to be killed, and for persecuting His disciples. They proclaimed ‘let His blood be on us,’ and that prophetic statement was fulfilled in that generation.
If you’re seeking for truth, and not to defend a belief, this book will prove out the fulfillment of Messiah’s Olivet Discourse. It will help you see that it’s not about the end times so that you’re not misled about the fulfillment of Revelation, as we await Messiah’s promised return.

David Carrico says that Revelation 12 is about Israel and a Jewish crown.
That is false, as Revelation 12 is about the pagan Roman beast kingdom, which Satan used to try to wipe out Messiah’s Ekklesia of saints. Messiah’s church was born out of much tribulations, as the Satan-empowered Roman Emperors persecuted them during ten persecution periods.
The last one from 303-312 AD was the most painful, just like child birth, when Diocletian sought to wipe out Messiah’s Ekklesia. These are the saints of the church era of Smyrna, who Messiah foretold would face ten days (ten prophet years) of tribulation. These are the saints in Revelation 12:11 who overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. These are the martyrs of the fifth seal, whose blood cried out for vengeance against the pagan Roman Empire.
David Carrico gave an explanation of why the crowns move from the seven heads in Revelation 12, to the ten horns in Revelation 13; but applied it to Israel.
He seems to make everything about Israel, which is a false narrative that deflects blame away from Rome.
The crowns were on the seven heads in Revelation 12 because John is telling us that the pagan Roman Empire is in power, which had seven forms of government, seven kings. Then after the last Western Roman Emperor (the restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2) was removed from power in 476 AD, during the fourth trumpet judgment, the Western Empire split into ten civil kingdoms.
Then the antichrist beast Popes of Rome took power in 538 AD and the ten kings gave their power and authority to the Pope. So John is telling us in Revelation 13 that the Popes, who rose out of the sea of people of the ten kingdoms of the fallen Roman Empire, took power.
David Carrico says that the five kings in Revelation 17:10 that have fallen are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece; that the sixth is Rome and the seventh is Israel.
Then they list Israel as the first beast, which makes no sense, as Greece would be the sixth that was in existence when John wrote Revelation. And David says the eighth is Israel and it is the beast that was, and is not, and is to come. He’s saying that Israel existed, and then it was not and now the deadly head wound has been healed in the Zionist state of Israel.
That all is a false narrative. The angel is showing him how the harlot Roman Catholic Church rose to power. It’s pointing to seven forms of government of the Roman Empire, the same seven heads (kings) that are declared in Revelation 12, which had crowns on them. Five had passed when John wrote down the Revelation vision. The sixth was the Emperor’s who reigned until 476 AD, when they were removed from power. The seventh existed during the short time from 476-538 AD. Then the eighth king, the Popes of Rome took power over the Western Roman Empire.
It’s the Popes who lead the harlot church of Revelation 17. This is the same narrative as the little horn of Daniel 7, in that the Popes took power over the ten kingdoms of the fallen Roman Empire.
David Carrico says that the deadly head wound in Revelation was to Israel and now it’s been healed.
That is a false narrative, as the deadly head wound was to the office of the Western Roman Emperor, which ended in 476 AD. The Popes then took power over the Roman beast kingdom and proclaimed the Emperor’s title of Pontifex Maximus, the leader of church and state, thus the deadly head wound was healed.

David Carrico says that Revelation 13:12 is pointing to Satan infilling one man, I supposed the one-man antichrist.
That is a false narrative. John in Revelation 12-13 is describing the leaders of the fourth beast of Daniel, during three phases the Roman beast kingdom. He points to the Satan-empowered pagan Roman Emperors of Revelation 12; the sea beast phase of the antichrist beast Popes reigning in power for 1,260 years from 538-1798 AD; and the false prophet Jesuit Superior General who rose to power out of the land (earth, ge in the Greek) of the beast, the Vatican.
It is the Jesuit Superior General who was given authority in the 16th century, who lived in the land (earth) of the Vatican. It is the General who caused the first four bowl judgments to be poured out on countries which had banned the Jesuits. It is the General who used Napoleon to remove the Pope from power as part of the fifth bowl. The black pope has controlled the Vatican ever since, and he exercises his authority in front of the white pope.
Horns point to leaders. The earth beast phase of the Roman beast kingdom has two horns, the black pope and the white pope, the false prophet Jesuit Superior General and the antichrist beast Pope; who pretend to serve Messiah (lamb-like), but really serve Satan (the dragon).
The General in Rome controls the city-state corporation of the District of Columbia, the Zionist state of Israel via the Rothschild family and almost every country in the world.
Read Revelation 13 – The Roman Earth Beast Phase
David Carrico cites Albert Barnes, John Gill and Matthew Poole, who prove that the office of the papacy is the son of perdition and the antichrist beast; but somehow David either ignores and hides that explanation.
There’s much more that I could address in the White Horseman of the Apocalypse and the 7 Headed Dragon video, but the bottom line is that David Carrico and Jon Pounders of Midnight Ride are proclaiming that most of Revelation is yet future, and that is a false narrative, as most of it’s been fulfilled during the last 1,900 years as the Satan-empowered Roman beast kingdom has made war with Messiah and His saints.
Messiah’s apocalyptic vision is a war manual, designed to hide the explanation from those who should not understand it. It uses symbolic words that are defined in the Old Testament to point to a literal fulfillment. If you read Revelation only from a literal perspective, the interpretation is hidden.
Understanding the vision is like taking a Biblical final exam. If you’ve read the whole Word, you will have seen the symbolism that Messiah uses and can apply it to the fulfillment.
If you read Revelation as one chronological narrative, the prophecies seem out of sequence. That’s because it has four chronological layers, each of which spans from when it was written until Messiah returns.
This book explains the prophecies of Revelation on a timeline to help you see how the four chronological layers interact with each other, so that you can comprehend the whole vision.
You will learn how to identify who fulfills the role of the son of perdition, the antichrist beast, the false prophet, and the harlot called ‘Mystery, Babylon the Great.’ You will understand the proper context of the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments; the little book of Revelation 10, and the two witnesses of Revelation 11.
Whether you’re a novice at Bible prophecy or someone who has studied it extensively, I provide an explanation that is easy to understand yet has the depth of verse by verse explanations to provide you the evidence you need to prove it out.

Q&A: America in Bible Prophecy Exposed video review.
David Carrico says that he thinks that one of the presidents of the US is the first beast and the second beast, the false prophet, is the Pope of Rome.
This is a false narrative, as Daniel foretold four beast kingdoms in Daniel 2 and 7; Babylon > Medo-Persia > Greece > Rome, the last of which stays in power until Messiah returns.
In Revelation, John picks up the narrative of the Roman beast kingdom, describing the leaders of the three different phases.
Revelation 12 describes the pagan Emperors who tried to wipe out Messiah’s early church, making it’s birth painful.
The Revelation 13 sea beast phase of the Roman beast kingdom describes the Popes of Rome rising to power over the sea of people of the ten kingdoms of the fallen Roman Empire. They reigned in power from 1260 years, from 538-1798, and banned and burned the Scriptures and persecuted the saints during the Dark Ages and Inquisition.
The Revelation 13 earth beast phase of the Roman beast kingdom describes the Jesuit General rising to power out of the earth (land) of the Vatican. The black pope and the white pope are the two horns, the two leaders, who pretend to be priests of Messiah (like a lamb) but really serve Satan (the dragon). They are pushing the world into their One World Government, to exalt their god Satan.

David Carrico says that the ‘great city’ in Revelation 11 is Jerusalem, in Revelation 17 it’s Rome and in Revelation 18 it’s New York city.
This is a false narrative. We see that Messiah declared in Revelation 1:19 ‘Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.’ In other words, we need to view Revelation from the perspective that John had, about what was past, what was the circumstances when he wrote down the vision, and what was future.
The ‘great city’ of John’s day is Rome, the city of seven hills. The Roman beast kingdom was in power. So it’s the great city of Revelation 11, 17 and 18.
Proclaiming that it’s three different things is absurd and very misleading!
David Carrico says that Israel is all over the place in Revelation.
The opposite is true, as most of Revelation is about Rome. Messiah gave us a historical narrative of the Satan-empowered leaders of the Roman beast kingdom fighting against Messiah’s saints.
The antichrist beast is the primary figure. He is one who comes in the place of Christ, who pretends to be his representative, but deceives people. That is what the Popes do as they proclaim to lead Messiah’s church but they teach a false Gospel and that Mary is the intercessor to the Father. They now deceive 1.3 billion Catholics.
The Popes take the title of the “Vicar of Christ” which means in place of Christ, which is antichrist. The Popes have already proclaimed to be God, to be Jesus Christ in the flesh, to forgive sins and to provide salvation; which is blasphemy.
The Popes have banned and burned the Scriptures, and caused tens of millions of saints to be killed during the Dark Ages and the Inquisition.
The office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, fulfill Bible prophecy as the ‘little horn‘ of Daniel 7, the ‘son of perdition’ of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the ‘antichrist beast’ of Revelation 13, who leads the ‘harlot’ church of Rome.
Read Revelation 13 – The Roman Sea Beast Phase
David Carrico and Jon Pounders of Midnight Ride are very knowledgeable and likable, and they cite Scripture and seem very authoritative. But the bottom line with anyone teach Revelation prophecy fulfillment, is ‘are they exposing the enemy of Messiah and His saints?‘
David and Jon teach a futuristic son of perdition and antichrist; but the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, fulfill those roles.
They also teach a futuristic Revelation great tribulation period, but that was fulfilled during the 1,260 year reign of power of the antichrist beast Popes, from 538-1798 AD, when they caused Catholics to kill over 50 million saints.
What David and Jon teach, misleads people and deflects blame from the antichrist beast Pope and the false prophet Jesuit Superior General. We can’t win the battle against the enemy, if we don’t know their identity.
They teach that Mystery Babylon is the whole world system, but it’s the Roman Catholic Church, the idolatrous which the Popes proclaim is Messiah’s one true church. Their priests wear purple and scarlet, and use the golden cup during their Babylonian Eucharist ceremony which mimics the rebirth of their incarnate christ child, Tammuz.
The Jesuits of the Vatican control the world through their many front organizations of the Illuminati, Freemasonry, the Knights of Malta, the Knights of Columbus, etc. So their Babylonian system has influence everywhere, but the harlot who has shed the blood of the saints is the Roman Catholic Church of the antichrist beast Pope which now deceives 1.3 billion Catholics with a false salvation message.
I’ve searched through all of the David Carrico and Jon Pounders of Midnight Ride videos, and did not see one of them exposing the antichrist beast Pope and false prophet Jesuit Superior General.
These are the very enemy’s of Messiah, who He will came and capture. They are the enemy of Messiah’s saints and they use people groups to covertly make war with believers. They are the enemy of the world, as they push it into their One World Government.
And yet David and Jon are not identifying them as such, which tells you that they are either very ignorant or they are controlled opposition. If you know of videos from them that expose the antichrist beast Pope and false prophet Jesuit Superior General, let me know.

Jon and David, I am a new viewer and must play the catch-up binge watching. What I am commenting on I’m sure is old news by now. You mentioned about the astronauts being antagonistic and annoyed when they were questioned about their flight to the Moon. They didn’t answer in the positive because they are not allowed to. If you know anything about service to the government they are all under secret to the highest secrecy contract. And in that contract it is stated that they can have rank removed, monies taken away, no longer benefits for them or their families. This is the reason they do not respond with saying anything left they jeopardize their retirement income. I know this because I worked for the government. So their lack of excitement is nothing more than protecting their families future and their own lives if possible. Up
David and Jon are not everybody’s cup of tea. They run a place named the ‘Puritan Barn’ and they are not kindly disposed to Protestantism; at least its modern incarnation. Personally, I would not want to live under a Puritan regime. Their history is there to be read if you want to but they did display the rigid inflexibility of the fanatic, which led them to advocate for, and inflict Draconian punishments on those they deemed miscreants. But I don’t think David and Jon would go so far as to burn witches or ban people from drinking, smoking, and generally enjoying themselves. I’m a traditional Anglican and I like my KJV and 1662 Book of Common Prayer. David doesn’t seem to approve of that so we would part ways on that issue.
Be that as it may, the Reformers were pretty much all in agreement as to who the antichrist was (is). We are not waiting for some future event where said antichrist will rock up at a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.
They look like Freemasons to me! All roads lead to Londonium!
I can’t agree with you there friend. David and Jon despise freemasonry. Many of their shows are very antagonistic towards masonic practices in the church. They clearly state that masonic infiltration of the church down the centuries has caused untold damage to the Body of Christ and I, for one, agree with them.
My only issue with them is their leaning towards puritanism, given the history of that group. But having said that, I can’t think of any denomination that hasn’t at some time, persecuted their brethren. Also, they did start down the Hebrew Roots path a while ago but they have since repented of that, which is as it should be.
Would your view of Revelation be considered Historicist?
Yes Lorrie, I am a Historist who shows how the 70th week of Daniel 9 was historically fulfilled from 27-34 AD; the Olivet Discourse was historically fulfilled before 70 AD and the Jewish-Roman War of 66-70 AD, which left Jerusalem, the temple and the Jewish nation desolated; and that most of the prophecies in Revelation have been historically fulfilled during the last 1,900 years. This website provides summaries and links to videos that explain it. https://bibleprophecydecoded.com/
I have found in all my searching that no one agrees with anyone else 100%. I think God is trying to teach us something about love and working together while following Christ.
Also I noticed that at the beginning here you misquoted scripture. …”but the enemy has worked hard to mislead the end-times saints so that even the very elect are deceived.” Yet Matthew 24:24 says, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
Not when, but rather IF it were possible.
We all see through a glass darkly.
Janna, I don’t expect to agree with anyone else 100%. You’re missing the point of this page. What David Carrico and Jon Pounders teach about the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel 9 and Revelation are completely off-target, as the 70th week of Daniel was about Messiah’s coming to confirm the covenant to atone for our sins, and most of the prophecies in Revelation have already been fulfilled since the first century. So they are not all about the end times.
The Holy Spirit led you here for a reason. I pray that you seek truth instead of defending a belief.

I have watched Jon and David for many, many hours. They both seem to really love the Lord. They are not trying to deceive people.
Personally, I am getting tired of everyone wanting to be right rather than to walk in love towards their brothers and sisters in Christ.
I believe in the firmament, pretty much every Christian I know thinks I am crazy. Oh well. Does it make them less of a child of God? No. Do I have the right to beat them up because they don’t believe it? No.
Love is gold in the Kingdom of God. Being right about doctrine is dross.
I agree Janna, David Carrico and Jon Pounders do seem to really love the Lord and I did not say that they’re trying to deceive people. But their prophecy fulfillment teachings are misleading people.
It’s not about me wanting to be right! It’s about teaching the truth of prophecy fulfillment, which exposes the deceptions that were created by the enemy to deceive the end-times saints. Sadly, David and Jon have been misled by the futuristic explanations.
Walking in love with brothers and sisters in Messiah doesn’t mean that we don’t expose their false teachings.
You think that being right about doctrine is dross? We’re called to teach Scriptural truth to expose the lies of the enemy, which serve to steal glory from our Heavenly Father and beloved Messiah.
Love for our brothers and sisters in Messiah means that we help them see errors in their beliefs.
You were led to this website for a reason, and now you’re accountable for knowing the truth of the fulfillment of Revelation because it’s been presented to you. I pray that the Spirit causes you to reconsider what you’ve been taught and go through the studies. In them you see the glory of Messiah, who foretold the events.
Keep learning and growing in The Way!
David

Or maybe they are trying to help you see the error in your beliefs. No one thinks that their beliefs are wrong.
What I mean by dross is that “being right” does not have eternal value. The Fruits of the Spirit are not love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self control and being right. Really, are you absolutely sure that everything you believe is right? Do you think that the Spirit can guide others without your input?
I never read your Revelation timeline. I don’t like things jammed down my throat. Does anyone?
You think I was led here for a reason yet maybe it is not the reason you think.
Janna, I teach the same concepts as the great theologians of the 16th-19th centuries, who wrote whole Bible commentaries. The Protestant Reformers taught the same historicist explanations.
Sure the Spirit can guide others without my input. I’m not the only person who teaches the historicist explanations of prophecy fulfillment.
It’s only been during the last century that the futuristic explanations have taken hold in the church.
I’ve not proclaimed that I’m right about everything, but I can prove out who is the antichrist and the false prophet, and I can prove out that most of Revelation has been fulfilled during the last 1,900 years. And I can prove out who created the false, futuristic explanations that David Carrico and Jon Pounders teach, which have misled the end-times saints.
I don’t comprehend how you can imply that I’m wrong, when you haven’t read the Revelation Timeline Decoded prophecy fulfillment explanations.
I’ve not jammed anything down anyone’s throat. Nobody made you comment on this website.
We will all stand before our Righteous Judge to give an account. Are you absolutely sure about your prophecy fulfillment beliefs?
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
John 7:24
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
Revelation 2:15 KJV
Folks, what brother David is doing here is exposing the deceptions of the enemy, he is judging righteously
It’s one thing to condemn someone for something that was said but saying someone Is being misleading
And yes the midnight ride does have misleading doctrines that need to be brought up, I like David and Jon. However when a doctrine is being taught that has a shred of the doctrines of the nicolaitians (gnosticism, pantheism, mythraism, ROMANISM, etc)
These doctrines of the nicolaitians which Jesus hates is the same doctrines of demons today as it was in Paul and John’s day and the hub of these doctrines all come from the three unclean spirits like frogs
The problem is many in the laodicaen church Era do not know they are deceiving and being deceived and that is what brother David here is trying earnestly to break….those chains of deception keeping the end time saints shackled it is not a my belief is right and there’s is wrong, it is a honest plea to come out of her my people which is what we should be doing
Blessings from Michigan David
Keep fighting the good fight
Thank you for sharing your insight Jesse! I appreciate the John 7:24 verse, as it tells us that we should make righteous judgments. We’re called to teach truth and expose the deceptions which came from the enemy, to set the captives free.
Blessings to you Jesse! Keep pressing on for the glory of our King!
