This Revelation Timeline Decoded post reviews a video by Joel Richardson of FAI STUDIOS, called ‘Pseudo-Ephraim: Escape by Rapture or by Hiding? // THE RAPTURE & ENDURANCE OF THE SAINTS.’
Video description: MARANATHA Global Bible Study // The Rapture and the Endurance of the Saints Episode 22: Pseudo-Ephraim: Escape by Rapture or by Hiding?
Before I begin my review of Joel Richardson’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!
Joel Richardson of FAI Studios says that truth matters, misrepresenting information matters and what we believe about the last days matters. This is not an irrelevant issue.
I agree, which is why I review the prophecy fulfillment explanation videos of Joel Richardson and Dalton Thomas, to show how they’re misleading people with the false, futuristic narrative which were created by the enemy to deceive the end-times saints.
I’m not hostile with Joel or Dalton, nor do I accuse them of purposely lying and deceiving people. But I am zealous to the teach the truth of Bible prophecy and I will expose false teachings which are misleading many people.

Joel Richardson of FAI Studios cited Pseudo-Ephraim’s sermon on the advent, the end and the coming of the antichrist.
Because Joel assigns most of the prophecies in Revelation to the end times, he doesn’t explain how the saints have already faced harsh tribulation during the last 1,900 years. How does he ignore the witness of the saints who have gone before us?
The saints faced harsh persecution during the Dark Ages, when the antichrist beast popes banned and burned the Scriptures, and tortured and killed millions of saints who proclaimed Scriptural truth. The Vaudois and other Christians sought to escape tribulation by fleeing to the area of the Alps.
Protestant Reformer Martin Luther escaped being killed by the antichrist beast popes by staying in a castle, where he translated the Bible into German.
Many Protestants came to America to escape the Inquisition of the Jesuit army of Rome.

Joel Richardson of FAI Studios cites Pseudo-Ephraim’s quote that the antichrist takes on the form of the true shepherd.
The antichrist beast popes of Rome proclaim to be the ‘Vicar of Christ’ which means the substitute Christ, thus they have taken on the form of the true Shepherd.
They proclaim to be the high priest of Messiah’s church, but they teach a false gospel of works through the sacraments and a false intercessor in Mary; thus they are against Christ.
The popes have caused tens of millions of Messiah’s saints to be tortured and killed during the Dark Ages and Inquisition; thus they are against Christ.
How does Joel not see this fulfillment?

Joel Richardson of FAI Studios cites Pseudo-Ephraim’s quote that Satan the dragon persecutes Messiah’s saints.
Because Joel assigns the persecution of the saints to the end times, he ignores what the fulfillment of prophecy in Revelation about the saints enduring persecution at the hands of the Satan-empowered leaders of the Roman beast kingdom.
Revelation 12 is about Satan the dragon using the pagan Roman Emperors to kill Messiah’s saints during ten persecution periods from the time of Nero to 312 AD. Read: The Phases Of The Roman Beast
In Messiah’s message to the church era of Smyrna, He foretold that they would endure ten days of tribulation, which was fulfilled during the ten years of 303-312 AD when Emperor Diocletian sought to wipe out Messiah’s church during the tenth persecution period.

In the fifth seal, we see the prayers and symbolic blood of the martyrs crying out for vengeance against the pagan Roman Empire, which came during the following seal judgments which described the decline of the Roman Empire, and the trumpet judgments when army after army was sent to attack it leading to its fall in 1453 AD, when Constantinople fell and the last Eastern Roman Emperor removed from power.

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.
