This Revelation Timeline Decoded post reviews a video by Dalton Thomas of FAI STUDIOS, called ‘An Introduction to the Second Coming and the Millennial Reign.
Video description: MARANATHA Global Bible Study // The Book Of Revelation. Session 63: An Introduction to the Second Coming and the Millennial Reign.
Before I begin my review of Dalton Thomas’s explanations, let me declare that I do these type of reviews, not just to expose false teachers; but to show what they teach, which you may have also been taught, so that you can see the truth and the deception.
These reviews serve as an open rebuttal of their explanations. It’s not about me, it’s about the truth of prophecy fulfillment which reveals the glory of our beloved Messiah!
Dalton Thomas of FAI Studios says that it’s important because it’s the end of the story.
How can a teacher give an accurate description of Revelation 19-20, if they don’t understand the fulfillment of Revelation 1-18?
Dalton Thomas and Joel Richardson assign the fulfillment of most of the prophecies in Revelation, to the last seven years, during a supposed end-times 70th week of Daniel 9.
Most of the prophecies in Revelation have already been fulfilled during the last 1,900 years, as the Satan-empowered leaders of the Roman beast kingdom have fought against Messiah and His saints. The pagan Roman Emperors tried to wipe out the early church, killing millions.
The Roman Popes banned and burned the Scriptures and caused tens of millions of saints to be killed during the Dark Ages and the Inquisition. These are the things that Messiah is pointing to in His apocalyptic vision.

Any teacher who is basing their explanation of Revelation on the concept of a future 70th week of Daniel 9, the 7-year tribulation period, is misleading you.
The false concept of a 7-year tribulation period is based on the 70-weeks of Daniel 9 prophecy. The prophecy foretold when Messiah would appear to carry out His ministry, and when (in the middle of the 70th week) He would confirm the (everlasting) covenant (that was mentioned in Daniel 9:4) with His blood as the Passover Lamb, to atone for our sins. It’s not about the end times or the antichrist.

Dalton Thomas of FAI Studios says that Revelation 17-18 are not a chronological narrative.
That statement is off-target, as Revelation has four chronological layers which span from the first century until Messiah’s return. Revelation 17-18 represents one of the layers, as it describes how the harlot church of the antichrist beast popes rose to power out of the fallen Roman Empire.

Revelation 17 describes the apostate church of the Popes of Rome; who are called ‘the beast’ in Revelation, who proclaims to lead Messiah’s church but teaches a false Gospel of works through the sacraments. They teach a false Messiah, proclaiming that Mary was sinless and is the intercessor to the Father.
The Popes have proclaimed to be God, to forgive sins and provide salvation, which is blasphemy. The popes cause Catholics to sin by revering and bowing idols of Mary and the saints, to pray repetitive prayer to Mary using the rosary, to call the Pope ‘Holy Father.’
The harlot church is called “Mystery, Babylon the Great” because her priests (who wear ‘purple and scarlet’ robes) use the ‘golden cup’ during their blasphemous Eucharist ceremony which symbolically carries out the Babylonian Mystery Religion of pagan god worship. She has an Egyptian obelisk, which represents the phallic symbol of the pagan sun god, in front of her St. Peter’s basilica.
The Roman Catholic Church has been drunk with the blood of the saints, killing tens of millions during the Dark Ages and Inquisition.

I pray that this posts helps wake you up, so that you can see how the enemy has deceived the end-times saints, for Messiah’s return draw nigh and you don’t want to be caught off-guard like the foolish virgins who don’t have the oil of Scriptural truth to light their way.
Joel Richardson and Dalton Thomas teach a futuristic fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel 9, the Olivet Discourse and the prophecies in Revelation.
The 70th week of Daniel 9 is about Messiah’s ministry and His blood sacrifice as the Spotless Lamb to atone for our sins. It has nothing to do with the antichrist or the end times.
The Olivet Discourse foretold the events that would lead to the desolation of Jerusalem, the second temple and the Jewish nation; as punishment for the Jewish leaders continuing in rebellion against the Heavenly Father and for delivering His Son up to be killed. It has nothing to do with the antichrist or the end times.
Most of the prophecies in Revelation have been fulfilled in exacting detail during the last 1,900 years. It describes the historical narrative of the Satan-empowered leaders of the Roman beast kingdom (pagan Emperors > antichrist beast Popes > false prophet Jesuit Superior Generals) fighting against Messiah and His saints.
The explanations of Joel Richardson and Dalton Thomas serve to deflect blame away from the enemy in Rome, and to mislead the end-times saints so that they’re not prepared for how the end-times will play out, and don’t know the context of Messiah’s return.

ALL of my go-to pastors that I’ve listened to over many years teach the futuristic false interpretation of the 70th week of Daniel 9.. Now that I know the OBVIOUS truth, literally written in black&white – the Scriptures, thanks mostly to you brother David, I find it very discouraging that most adhere to the false interpretation, consequently, I now find it difficult to listen to any pastor.

I can relate Mike. I’m the same way. It’s hard to comprehend how grand the deception is, and that pastors can’t study the Scriptures and history and see the truth for themselves. You can share the 1-page PDF summaries on this website with them, to try to open their eyes: https://bibleprophecydecoded.com Shalom Mike
