This page provides a Revelation Fulfillment Summary, to give you the big picture of how most of Messiah’s apocalyptic vision has been fulfilled in exacting detail during the last 1,900 years.

If you’re like me, you’ve been taught that most of Revelation is fulfilled during the last 3 1/2 years, so I understand that the historical fulfillment explanation seems contrary. Just keep in mind that Messiah said that “if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

Satan has waged war with the saints during the last few millennia and part of that is through false prophecy fulfillment explanations, so that the saints are unprepared for how the end-times will play out, and for Messiah’s return.

I recommend using the green Print/PDF button to print this summary study out, and that you read it a few times to let it sink in; as the enemy has programmed our minds with a false narrative.

This summary will show you what’s already been fulfilled, where we’re at now on the Revelation timeline, and what will happen next as we await Messiah’s return. Then you can go through the Revelation study list to get the verse by verse explanation.

Prophecy fulfillment is fairly straight-forward, but the enemy has programmed our minds with the futuristic explanations, so that it’s hard to see the historical fulfillment. Another reason that people struggle with understanding Revelation is that the symbols are defined in the Old Testament, so if you’ve not studying the whole Word, then you can’t see how the symbols are used to describe a literal fulfillment.

Save and print this Revelation fulfillment summary image that shows the four chronological layers of Revelation.

Here’s a link to a regular image of the graphic, which is 2.5M.

Here’s a link to a PDF of the graphic, which is 6M.

This one page Revelation Chart summarizes the fulfillment of Revelation, showing the four chronological layers. Each layer gives a chronological explanation which spans from the first century until Messiah returns. When you overlay the layers on top of each other, you see how they interact, and you get the fulfillment story.

The bottom layer shows who is leading the Roman beast kingdom: pagan Emperors > antichrist beast Popes > false prophet Jesuit Superior Generals.

The 2nd layer shows the seven church eras. The 3rd layer shows the fulfillment of the seals, trumpets and bowls. The 4th layer shows the explanation of Revelation 17-19. It will help you visualize the fulfillment of Revelation. Be sure to print it in landscape mode, in color if possible.

The enemy’s end times deception is grand, and we’re called to be like the Berean’s and search the Bible to prove the things that Pastors teach us. 

This study will help you see the big picture of how most of Revelation has been fulfilled during the three different phases of the Roman beast kingdom, that Satan has used to war against the saints. It will help you see that our Messiah is not lax in exacting vengeance against the people who have killed His followers.

And it will help you be as the wise virgins who are prepared with the oil of Scriptural truth, so that you’re prepared for Messiah’s return.

Daniel foretold four beast kingdoms: Babylon > Medo-Persia > Greece > Rome.

Daniel told us that the last reigning power is Roman, which would exist until Messiah returns to destroy it; as the feet of the statue in Daniel 2 are made up of iron, with some clay mixed in.  The iron in the feet is Rome, just like the iron legs represented Rome.  The dreadful beast of Daniel 7 had great iron teeth, once again representing Rome.

Daniel, Paul and John, described the man who controls the Roman beast. John picked up the narrative of the Roman beast and foretold how the different phases of the beast would war against the saints.

The apocalyptic vision in Revelation gives the narrative of the historical battle between the Satan-empowered leaders of the Roman beast, fighting against Messiah and His saints.

Note: This is a summary study, to help you see the big picture.  Links are provided to individual studies, which give the verse by verse explanation.

Revelation 12 describes the Roman Emperors being used by Satan to try to wipe out the Early Church, which was birthed in the 1st century.

Satan was exalted in the Roman Empire with all of their false god worship. He empowered the Roman Emperors to persecute the early church.

Satan lost power over the Roman Empire (he was cast down from power) because of the seal judgments, which caused the decline of the Roman Empire due to civil wars, famine and pestilence.

Satan was enraged and he increased the severity of the persecution of the saints, to try to wipe out the early church; killing 10 million saints, during 10 periods of persecution period.

This is referred to in the 5th seal of Revelation, the martyrs of the Roman Empire, who were killed for their faith.

The last persecution period was the harshest when Emperor Diocletian tried to wipe out the early church during a 10 year period (the 10 days of the 5th seal, as 1  day = 1 year).

But Messiah’s church just kept growing, so Satan used Roman Emperor Constantine to create the Roman religion of Christianity, to seek to destroy the true church from the inside.

The falling away of 2 Thessalonians 2, that the Apostle Paul warned about, was fulfilled in the 4th century; when after hundreds of years of persecution, many of the saints fell away from the true faith, and apostatized, compromising their beliefs to join with Rome.

Roman Christianity is based on the worship of pagan gods, primarily the sun god; which is why Sunday became the first day of the week, and why the Roman Catholic Church has so many sun symbols, such as an Egyptian obelisk in the middle of St. Peter’s Square.

The 4th Trumpet judgment led to the Western Roman Emperor being removing from power.

Romulus Augustus was an emperor reigning over the Western Roman Empire from 31 October AD 475 until 4 September AD 476.

The Sun, Moon and Stars symbolizes leadership structure. Here it represents God using Odoacer and the Heruli, a branch of the Goths, to cause the downfall of Roman leadership when Romulus Augustalus, the last Roman Emperor (the Sun) of the West was captured in 476 A.D.

The hierarchy of Roman leaders, such as the Roman senate, (moon and stars) would have lost their power too.

His deposition by Odoacer traditionally marks the end of the Western Roman Empire, the fall of ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Middle Ages in Western Europe.

The Little Horn of Daniel 7 points to the Pope of Rome, rising to power over the fallen Roman Empire.

Daniel 7:8 “I considered the (10) horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.”

It is describing a man who controls the Roman beast.

The 10 horns of the 4th beast of Daniel 7 foretold that the Roman Empire would split into 10 civil kingdoms, and that a Little Horn, the Popes of Rome, would rise up among them, and pluck out three of the kingdoms that did not bow down to his authority.

Sir Isaac Newton says that the ten kingdoms were:
1. The kingdom of the Vandals and Alans in Spain and Africa.
2. The kingdom of the Suevians in Spain.
3. The kingdom of the Visigoths.
4. The kingdom of the Alans in Gallia.
5. The kingdom of the Burgundians.
6. The kingdom of the Franks.
7. The kingdom of the Britains.
8. The kingdom of the Hunns.
9. The kingdom of the Lombards.
10. The kingdom of Ravenna.

The popes subdued and destroyed three of the ten kingdoms, the Heruli, the Ostrogoths and the Vandals. These three people groups had attacked the Western Roman Empire during the trumpet judgments, so they weren’t going to bow to the authority of the pope.

Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

Daniel foretold that the Little Horn, the Popes of Rome would speak against Elohim, and they proclaimed to be God.  They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 A.D.; during which they caused over 50 million saints to be killed.

The Son of Perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2 is the Popes of Rome, the restrainer was the Roman Emperors.

“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” Verse 4

The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to was the Roman Emperors, who held back the Popes from taking power.  Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 A.D., the Popes rose to power, and were given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.  They sit among the followers of Messiah, which is the temple of God, and they proclaimed to be God.

Daniel and John described the Popes of Rome, who reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 A.D.

Once again we can see that John picked up the narrative of Daniel, about the Roman beast.

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Daniel 7:25

“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.” Revelation 13:5

Daniel, Paul and John all described the Popes of Rome, who have made pompous, blasphemous statements.

Daniel 7:8 – “And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.“

2 Thessalonians 2:4 – “who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

Revelation 13:5 – “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.“

When the Popes of Rome were in power, they declared many blasphemous things:

Pope Gregory IX declared “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)

Pope Pius V blasphemed,  “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)

Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)

Revelation 17 describes the 8th king, the Popes of Rome, rising to power out of the Roman Empire.

“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” Verse 3

Here is the same beast as Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 described, with 10 horns.

“And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” Revelation 17:10-11

The seven kings represent the seven forms of government that existed in the Roman Empire, and the 8th represents the Popes of Rome who took power.

Five had passed.  One was at the time, the Emperors of Rome. And one existed during the ‘short space’ between 476, when the last Roman Emperor was removed, and 538, when the Popes of Rome took power.

The 7 kings represent 7 forms of government of the Roman Empire. Five had passed when John wrote Revelation.  The 6th was the Roman Emperors who reigned until 476 A.D.  The 7th form ruled for a short time until the 8th king, the Popes of Rome, took power in 538 A.D.

The sea beast of Revelation 13, the Popes of Rome, rose up out of the people groups, out of the 10 civil kingdoms, that were created when the Roman Empire collapsed.

The antichrist sea beast of Revelation is the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 A.D.

Look at how many times it describes a man: and the dragon gave him his power; and his deadly wound was healed’; who is able to make war with him?; And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months; And it was given unto him to make war with the saints.

“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.” Verse 5

The Popes were given civil and ecclesiastic power as a church/state, and they took the Emperor’s title of Pontifex Maximus, and the ‘deadly head wound‘ was healed.

John is telling us the same thing as Daniel, that the Popes of Rome would reign for 1,260 years, and speaking blasphemies, proclaiming to be God and to forgive sins.

The 5th bowl judgment led to the Pope being removed from power.

The 5th Bowl was poured out on the seat of the beast, as the office of the Papacy lost their power in 1798 A.D.

Shortly after the French Revolution, the Papal States were invaded by French forces, and they removed Pope Pius VI, who died in exile in Valence (France) in 1799.

Their 1,260 year reign was ended by the hand of Elohim, but they repented not. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores of losing their power.

The Jesuits caused Napoleon’s army to take the Pope captive. They did this out of vengeance, as the Pope had removed their power and authority in 1793.

Revelation 13 earth beast describes the Jesuit General rising to power out of the Vatican.

Theologian and Preacher John Wesley wrote, “The false prophet – So is the second beast frequently named, after the kingdom of the first is darkened; for he can then no longer prevail by main strength, and so works by lies and deceit.”

The ‘he’ of the earth beast of Revelation 13 is also a man, the office of the Jesuit General, the Black Pope of Rome, aka the false prophet. It is not pointing to a country like the U.S.A., but a man.

Look at how many times it describes a man: and he had two horns like a lamb; And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him; And he doeth great wonders; And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast; And hecauseth all… to receive a mark; the number of the beast… the number of a man.

The two horns represents the two leaders of the Roman beast, the false prophet Jesuit General and the antichrist Pope of Rome. They are horns like a lamb, meaning they would pretend to be Christ-like, as they dress like priests; but they serve Satan, the dragon; and they deceive the world with their sorcery.

The Black Pope exercises his authority in front of white Pope, and they are using the authority of the Roman Catholic Church to draw the world under their power.

The top Jesuits pretend to be Christians (lamb-like), but they worship Satan the dragon. Jesuit priests have spread around the world to now cause 1.2 Billion Catholics to revere/worship the Pope, the beast, now by 666, which in Latin points to the Pope.

And Jesuit Pope Francis is now drawing Protestants, the Orthodox Church, Muslims, and all people groups under the power of Rome; causing the world to revere (mark on forehead) and obey (mark on right hand, actions) the Pope.

Revelation 19 describes the antichrist Pope and false prophet Jesuit General, the leaders of the Roman beast, being taken captive and thrown in the fiery pit.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Revelation 19:19-20

The last antichrist beast Pope and false prophet Jesuit General, who will have enforced the mark of the beast in their One World Government; will be captured.

Once again it is pointing to two men, the antichrist Pope sea beast of Revelation 13, and the false prophet earth beast of Revelation 13.

So we can clearly see that Daniel, Paul and John; were all describing the leader of the Roman beast, who Satan empowers to fight against Messiah and His saints.

Satan caused the Roman Empire to kill millions of saints from 66-313 AD.

Rome is the fourth kingdom of the prophecies in Daniel 2 and 7, and it was at the height of its power when John wrote down the apocalyptic vision. Satan used the pagan Emperors to persecute the saints in an attempt to wipe out Messiah’s assembly of saints.

John couldn’t say that the seals were about the fall of the Roman Empire, as that would have invited more persecution from the Romans, so he used symbols to convey the message.

John was given the Revelation in the 90-95 AD, and in Revelation 1:1 Messiah told him that these things would take place shortly.

1st Seal – The white horse represents the ‘conquering’ Roman Empire, from 98-117 AD, as under the reign of Emperor Trajan it was a time of its greatest expansion and their military conquests were celebrated by riding ‘white horses’ in their victory parades. Roman Emperors Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, were descendants of the Isle of Crete, who were famous bowmen, so the ‘bow‘ points directly at them. The ‘crown’ represents the laurel wreathes of victory that were worn by the Caesars after their armies had won a military battle.

During the first few centuries, Messiah set up His kingdom which grew into millions of followers in a short period of time, as the apostles and early church were scattered due to persecution, so the Gospel was spread around the Roman Empire. Paul’s missions expanded the kingdom and established many Churches.

“And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.” Daniel 2:44

Messiah went forth on His victorious mission of taking control of countries with His Gospel and of avenging the martyrs deaths by causing the Roman Empire to decline during the seal judgments. Messiah overthrows the greatest power the world has ever known, the mighty Roman Empire, not with weapons, but with the sword of His Word. Messiah will return on a white horse to destroy the last phase of the Roman beast.

2nd Seal – The Red horse represents a bloody time in the Roman Empire from 185-284 AD, as it went into a phase of revolution and civil war for 90 years, during which there were 32 emperors and 27 contenders for the throne.

3rd Seal – The Black horse represents a period of gloom and despair, as the Romans suffered under excessive taxes that were needed to pay for wars. The pricing for wheat and barley point to food scarcity from 222-235 AD.

4th Seal – The Pale horse represents 1/4th of Romans dying from famine, plague, pestilence and violence, from 250-300 AD. The word ‘earth‘ is pointing to the Roman Empire as the ‘land’ of prophecy.

5th Seal – It represents the millions of martyrs who were killed by the Roman Empire, especially the Smyrna church era martyrs who Emperor Diocletian persecuted for tenyears, from 303-312 AD. Their blood cried out for Elohim to avenge their deaths.

6th Seal – Earthquakes in the prophecy represent great political upheavals. Eastern Emperor Constantine defeated Diocletian’s army in 312 AD, which ended the persecutions. Diocletian (the Sun) was so panic stricken, he died insane. Constantine defeated emperors Maxentius and Licinius to become sole ruler of both west and east by 324 AD. The Roman leaders (stars) fell and their power receded as a scroll. The mountains and islands that were moved out of place, were the countries and people that were affected by this political change.

7th Seal – It represents Messiah sealing His servants before He sounds the seven war trumpets of judgment against the Pagan Roman Empire.

After several centuries of the Roman Empire brutally persecuting the saints, Emperor Constantine changed strategies and in 321 AD, he made Roman Christianity the state religion. Satan caused Constantine to do this, to create a new way to try to destroy the true faith. Satan realized that the more he caused the Roman Empire to kill the saints, the faster the Messiah’s assembly grew. So his new strategy was to infiltrate the church and destroy it from within.

Constantine and the Roman bishops combined Pagan idolatry with the true faith, forming the foundation of the Roman Catholic (universal) Church. They changed the names of idols like Isis to Mary, Jupiter to St. Peter, etc. They changed the Scriptural Sabbath to SUN-day, because they worshiped the Sun god. They created the harlot (the apostate church) of Revelation 17.

The appeal of the prestige and power of Rome caused many Christians to compromise their beliefs. Instead of refusing to align with the Pagan Roman Empire, they joined with them, which was the ‘falling away‘ that Paul refers to in 2 Thessalonians 2.

Satan would use the harlot Church of Rome to persecute the saints even more relentlessly than the pagan Roman Empire.

Elohim sent army after army to attack and conquer the different areas of the vast kingdom.  Trumpets are symbols employed to indicate war against the enemy.

1st Trumpet – Hail can point to war in Bible symbolism, and Elohim caused the Goths, who were led by Alaric, to move in the direction in which literal hail came (north to south). They attacked the Roman Empire from 400-410 AD, in Greece, Gaul and Spain. Then 300,000 Goths invaded Italy. The fire represents the ‘scorched earth’ policy in their invasions of enemy territory.

2nd Trumpet – A mountain in Biblical symbolism represents a great nation and a sea is a large group of people. It represents Elohim sending the Vandals, led by Genseric, to attack the coast-lands of the Roman territory of the Mediterranean and all the islands from 425-470 AD, leaving bloodshed and confusion in their wake.

3rd Trumpet – A star in prophecy symbolizes a leader. Elohim sent this great burning star, Attila the king of the Huns, who was called “the scourge of God.” Attila and his 800,000 man army rose quickly and flashed across the land in 451 AD, and desolated the Italian Alps, which is the source of the Danube, Rhine and Po rivers. The dead bodies in the rivers made the water ‘bitter’ (wormwood).

4th Trumpet – The sun, moon and stars, can symbolize leadership structure. Here it represents Elohim using Odoacer and the Heruli, a branch of the Goths, to cause the downfall of Roman leadership when Romulus Augustalus, the last Western Roman Emperor (the sun) of the West was captured in 476 AD. The hierarchy of Roman leaders (moon and stars) would have lost power too.

When the Western Roman Emperor was removed, the Empire split into ten civil kingdoms. This paved the way for the Popes of Rome to rise to power, which fulfilled three prophecies.

Daniel told us in Daniel 7 that the Little Horn would rise up among the ten horns and that he would pluck out three of the horns. This was fulfilled when the Pope eliminated three of the ten Roman kingdoms (the Heruli, Vandals and Ostrogoths), because they would not bow down to his authority.

Paul told us in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 that “He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.” Paul was talking about the Roman Emperor, but if he had written that, it would have invited severe persecution on the saints. With the Western Roman Emperor removed from power in the 4th Trumpet, the son of perdition Popes were able to take power. The Popes proclaim to lead Messiah’s church, so they ‘sit in the temple.’ They have proclaimed to be God and to forgive sins, which is blasphemy.

John foretold that the Popes of Rome would rise to power out of the ‘sea’ of people, among the ten civil kingdoms. They received civil and ecclesiastic authority in 538 AD, and reigned in power as the antichrist beast of Revelation 13, for 1,260 years, until 1798 AD.

Note: In Revelation, John does not use the word ‘antichrist,’ rather he uses the word ‘beast’ to point to the primary enemy of Messiah, which the saints have historically called the antichrist. Read Prophecy Points To The Leader Of The Roman Beast Study

Judgment continued to be poured out on the vast Roman Empire, which was full of apostate Christians who believe in salvation of works through their sacraments, and that Mary is the intercessor to the Father.

The 5th Trumpet represents Elohim using the Arabian (Mohammedan) army against the Roman Empire from 632-782 AD, which is 150 years (5 months x 30 days = 150 days). They wore turbans (crowns of gold); they had beards (faces of men, as the Roman shaved); they had long hair like women; they wore chain-mail (breast-plates of iron); and they were fierce (teeth of lions). The ‘falling star’ was Mohammed, the ‘smoke’ out of Satan’s bottomless pit is the false religion of Islam, which hides the Gospel from Arabs eyes.

The 6th Trumpet represents Elohim releasing the Turks to cross over the Euphrates River to conquer 1/3rd of the Roman Empire for 391 years (prepared for the hour and day and month and year, 1 + 30 + 360 = 391) from 1062-1453 AD. They used gunpowder muskets, so ‘fire, smoke and brimstone’ appeared at their horses mouths. They used large cannons, some with the faces of lions on them, to knock down the thick protective walls of Constantinople.

Satan caused the antichrist beast Popes of Rome of Revelation 13, to kill tens of millions of saints, during 1,260 years of Great Tribulation from 538-1798 AD.

The Little Book of Revelation 10 represents printed Bibles in English and other languages, which John would have called a little book compared with long scrolls. They were desperately needed as the antichrist beast Popes had banned and burned the Scriptures during the Dark Ages, and killed those who had them. They were the sweet words of the Gospel, but they were bitter because the printed Bibles caused the Popes to intensify their war against the followers of Messiah.

From 538-1514 AD, the Roman Catholic Church worked so relentlessly to eliminate the Two Witnesses of the Scriptures and the Saints, that the Papal Church pronounced them as being ‘dead’ in  May 1514 AD.

Messiah proclaimed that the Scriptures ‘testify’ about Him and that His Saints are His ‘witnesses.’ The two church eras of Thyatira and Sardis, the two lampstands, existed during the 1,260 year reign of the Popes. The Scriptures feed oil to the Saints to give them light. This is why the Popes sought to wipe them out.

And there was silence for 3 1/2 years (3 1/2 prophetic days), when nobody testified against the antichrist beast Pope, which caused them to celebrate with feasts.

During this time Messiah had a Catholic Monk named Martin Luther read the Scriptures, to measure the temple (Messiah’s church) to compare what the Roman Catholic Church teaches against the Word. He found that the papal church is a harlot church, and that it’s not part of the true church of Messiah.

Exactly 3 1/2 years after the Papal Church had proclaimed that the Two Witnesses were ‘dead,’ Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses, which sparked the Protestant Reformation. That led to millions of people coming out of the false Papal Church, to be saved by the pure Gospel of Messiah. With the advent of the printing press, many Bibles were printed, and the Two Witnesses were alive again.

The followers of Messiah then used the rod of iron, the Scriptures, to take back control of the nations, such as England, which had been held by the Papal Church.

Satan countered in 1545 AD, by empowering the Jesuits at the Council of Trent, to create a counter-reformation plan.

The Jesuits are the covert military arm of the Papal Church, and their role was to do whatever is necessary to:

Bring the Protestants back under the power of the Papal Church. Look around today and you’ll see that they’ve been very successful, as many churches now partner with the Papacy in the name of peace and unity.

Corrupt the Scriptures. Since they couldn’t stop the spread of printed Bibles, they took action to create a corrupt Greek Bible (through heretics Westcott and Hort) and then modern Bibles which are missing key words that validate the deity of Messiah.

To deflect accusations away from the Popes, as the Protestant Reformers proclaimed that they’re the antichrist beast of Revelation, the little horn of Daniel 7, and the son of perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2. A Jesuit priest named Francisco Ribera created the concept of an end-times 70th week of Daniel featuring a one-man antichrist, in which most of Revelation is fulfilled. This deception has worked beyond their wildest imagination, as most Christians today believe it as truth.

Make war with the Protestants through the Inquisition and by using the leaders of France, Spain and other countries, to persecute them.

The Jesuits were so ruthless in their killing, stealing and destroying, that many countries expelled them, including countries that were predominantly Catholic. (Portuguese Empire, France, the Two Sicilies, Malta, Parma and the Spanish Empire)

The King of France encouraged Pope Clement XIV to suppress the Jesuits, which he did on July 21, 1773. This caused the Jesuits to seek revenge on the Pope, on the King of France, and on the countries that had banned them. That pope died from poisoning in 1774 AD.

Elohim used the Jesuits desire for revenge, to avenge the killing of His followers in France, Spain and the other countries, during bowls 1-5.

Revelation 14 foretold the harvest of Catholics who were ripe for the pure Gospel, as they had been suppressed by the Pope, who forbid Bible reading, taught only in Latin, and only offered salvation by works through the Papal Church.

Millions of Catholics were saved during the Protestant Reformation by the preaching of the pure Gospel. HalleluYah!

Revelation 14 gave a special blessing for the Protestants who were preaching the everlasting gospel and were martyred during the Papal Inquisition.

And it gave warning to those who had the mark of the beast, as Elohim poured out His wrath on France, Spain and other countries, who had killed the Protestants.

There are two separate mentions of the mark of the beast in the Bible, this one in the 17th-18th centuries; and one that comes during the reign of the earth beast in the last days. France and Spain had many Catholics, including their kings, who revered (mark on forehead) the Pope, they bowed to his authority and they obeyed (mark on right hand, actions) his commands.

They had the mark of the beast on them, not physically, but symbolically. Their reverence of the Pope is the ‘mark on their forehead.’ Their obedience of his commands is the ‘mark on right their hand.’ This tells us what the mark really means.

France was called the Eldest Son of the Papal Church, because their leaders diligently followed the Pope’s orders. France was split between Catholics and Protestants (called the Huguenots), so the Pope caused the King of France to have his people make war with the Protestants. At the St. Batholomew’s Day Massacre, they killed many tens of thousands of Huguenots.

The persecution in France was so severe, that no Protestants were left, as a million of them had either been killed or they fled.

Because France, Spain and other countries revered the Pope, bowed to his authority and followed his commands to kill millions of Protestants, they had the mark of the beast on them, so Elohim poured out His wrath on them with the bowl judgments.

The first vial was poured out when the Jesuits caused the foul and loathsome sore of atheism to spread across France. The French Protestants had been killed, so the Catholic religion was all that was left. Elohim allowed the abomination of atheism to turn the French people away from the Papal Church.

The second vial was poured out as the Jesuits incited the French people to revolt against the Catholic Church leaders and France’s leaders, and their heads rolled. During the French Revolution 250,000 were killed in the very places that the French Protestants had been killed. Water symbolically represents people. In this case, it represents the French people in the large cities being killed.

The third vial was poured out as the bloody French Revolution spread out from the major cities (seas) to the more rural areas (rivers and springs, smaller groups of people) where they had shed the blood of saints and prophets, and now it was time for them to drink the same fate.

The fourth vial was poured out as the Jesuits caused the bloody Napoleonic wars with countries that had previously banned them, so they were getting their revenge. The ‘sun’ represents the mighty military leader Napoleon, who within the space of eight years, scorched every kingdom in Europe, from Naples to Berlin, and from Lisbon to Moscow. Elohim used it to exact revenge against the countries that had shed the blood of His followers. But the leaders of the countries did not repent, they blasphemed Elohim for His punishment.

The fifth vial was poured out on the ‘seat of the beast,’ as the office of the Papacy lost their power in 1798 AD. Shortly after the French Revolution, the Papal States were invaded by French forces, and they removed Pope Pius VI, who died in exile in Valence (France) in 1799. Their 1,260-year reign was ended by the hand of Elohim, but they repented not. They blasphemed Elohim because of the pains and sores of losing their authority.

The sixth vial was poured out to dry up the Ottoman Empire, the people (river) of the Euphrates who had been released during the 6th Trumpet. During the 18th and 19th centuries, they lost control of the Middle East, including Palestine to General Allenby of Great Britain in 1917 AD.

As the reign of the sea beast phase of the Roman beast kingdom was ending, Satan caused the earth beast of Revelation 13 to rise to power.

Daniel tells us that the last beast kingdom is Rome, not America. John picks up the narrative of how Satan uses the leaders of the Roman beast kingdom to fight against Messiah and His saints.

It has changed leadership over the years from the pagan Emperors of Revelation 12, to the antichrist beast Popes of the sea beast phase, to the false prophet Jesuit Superior General of the earth beast phase. The ‘earth’ is the ‘land’ of the Vatican, out of which Ignatius Loyola and his ‘Society of Satan’ rose to power.

The Superior General caused Napoleon’s army to take the Pope captive in 1798 AD, because he had removed the Jesuit’s authority. The Black Popes have controlled the Roman beast ever since.

The earth beast phase of the Roman beast kingdom has two horns, which means two leaders, the false prophet Jesuit Superior General and the antichrist beast Pope. They both pretend to be Messiah’s priests (lamb-like) but they really serve Satan (the dragon).

The Jesuit Superior Generals have caused the false Preterist and Futurist prophecy fulfillment explanations, thus the title of false prophet, as he deflects blame away from the antichrist beast Pope. He causes Jesuit priests to spread around the world teaching the false gospel of Catholicism, which now causes 1.3 billion Catholics to revere and obey the antichrist beast Pope, thus they already have the mark of the beast on them.

The Black Pope controls the Vatican and he exercises his authority in front of the White Pope. He uses the Vatican to hide his power, as he controls the world via three city-state corporations; Vatican City, which controls the political and religious leaders; the City of London, which controls the financial and trade organizations; and the District of Columbia, which controls the intelligence agencies and military powers.

The city-state of the District of Columbia is the military arm of the Jesuits, as the military and intelligence agencies promote their agenda to overthrow the leaders of other countries, to install New World Order friendly puppets. Here we see Pope Francis in the DC House of Representatives which has two large fasces symbols, which show Rome’s authority in that place.

The Jesuits use the intelligence agencies to cause militant rebels such as Al Qaeda and ISIS, to kill Christians. The world blames the militant rebels, but the Jesuits supply them with funds, training and weapons. So the Roman beast is still making war with Christians, only in a covert way.

The Jesuits are causing Muslims to kill Christians, which causes Christians to hate Muslims so much that they support our military in killing them, even wiping Muslim countries off the map. But that goes against everything that Messiah taught us. The Jesuits have stirred up this emotional hatred of Muslims in Christians, by creating the modern state of Israel.

Revelation 16 foretold that during the 6th Bowl, the people  who were released from the Euphrates River in the 6th Trumpet judgment, the Ottoman Empire, would be dried up, so that “the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.”

The Ottoman Empire lost control of the territories that they had occupied, such as Middle East; which led to the establishment of the kingdom of Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, and the last Sultan lost power in 1922 AD, and they were only left with the country of Turkey.

The kings of the east appears to be pointing to the Ashkenazi Jews, the Rothchild’s, who established and control the Zionist state of Israel.

The royalty and nobility of the Khazar kingdom in Eastern Europe, appear to have converted to Judaism in the 8th or 9th century A.D., in part to deflect competing pressures from Arabs and Byzantines to accept either Islam or Orthodoxy; and because it is based on the Babylonian Talmud and Egyptian Kabbalah, which offers them Satanic methods to take control of the world.

And that’s exactly what the Jesuit-Rothschild family has done, worship the god of mammon, and take control of the money supply of almost every country in the world. The Rothschild family are the keepers of the Vatican treasury.  They serve the agenda of the false prophet Jesuit General and antichrist beast Pope.

Most of the people called Jews in Israel descend from these Khazar Jews, and are not descendants of Abraham.

Note that Revelation 3:12 says, “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”

The ‘kings of the east’ are the Khazarian Jews who control, lead and populate the Zionist state of Israel and Jerusalem; which will be used as the capital of the One World Government of the false prophet Jesuit General and antichrist beast Pope. The Jesuits have created events that pushed Khazar Jews into the Palestine area, to justify the creation of the state of Israel.

The Jesuits control Israel and Jerusalem through the Rothschild family. It will be the place where they join the world’s major religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, together in their New World Order, in the name of peace.

The Jesuits cause Christians to militantly defend Israel as “God’s Chosen People,” but DNA research proves that they aren’t even the descendants of Abraham. 97% of the Jews in Israel are Ashkenazi Jews whose forefathers from the Kingdom of Khazaria (from Eastern Asia) converted to Judaism. They are not the Jews of the Bible.

Torah Jews in Jerusalem and around the world, believe that the Zionists have illegitimately seized the name Israel and have no right to speak in the name of the Jewish people! They believe that the Zionist state of Israel is illegitimate in the eyes of God and that it DOES NOT represent Jews or Judaism.

The prophecy in Ezekiel points to Gog and Magog invading the Holy Land, attacking the citizens. Most people point to Gog and Magog coming from Russia. What’s interesting is that all of the Prime Ministers of the Zionist state of Israel have been from Russia and Poland, which is the primary places where the Khazar Jews fled when they were pushed out of Eastern Europe. And they, or their parents, all changed their names to sound more Jewish.

So it seems that Lord Rothchild (which is a title as the current one is the fourth Lord Rothschild), who owns and controls the Zionist state of Israel; is Gog, and the Khazar Jews are Magog. They have already come and stolen the land from the citizens and persecuted them.

Do you see how the enemy has tricked us? They have put fake Jews in a state called Israel, to mislead the saints. These Khazar Jews study the Satanic Babylonian Talmud and Egyptian Kabbalah, and they despise Messiah and His saints. They wrote evil, blasphemous things about Messiah in their Talmud.

This deception causes Christians to support military action against Muslims countries like Iran, and it will no doubt lead to WW III, where many Christians and Muslims are killed.

I believe that the three unclean spirits of the 6th bowl represents Satan (dragon) empowering the Jesuit Superior General (false prophet) who control the Pope (antichrist beast). Together they contrived the three wicked ideologies of Communism, Nazism, and Political Zionism; using world wars one and two to take more control of the world, and to push it towards their desired one-world government.

The Jesuits fomented World War I, causing the overthrow of the Czars of Russia, which brought in atheistic Communism, which has been used to destroy other governments and to weaken the religions. They caused the Ottoman Empire to lose control of Palestine, to prepare the way for the Khazar Jews to populate it.

The Jesuits fomented World War II by empowering Hitler and the Nazi regime to persecute Jews, in order to strengthen political Zionism, and justify the creation of their sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. This caused Ashkenazi Jews to migrate to Palestine/Israel.

This is where we are at on the Revelation timeline.

The Jesuits are gathering the major religions against each other by pitting Muslim countries against Israel, especially Syria and Iran. This will lead to World War III, when Muslim countries and Israel will war against each other, and other countries will join in the battle.

WW III will cause the world to cry out for peace and safety, and the antichrist beast Pope may offer that in their One World Government, promising that it will prevent any future religious wars.

Before the Jesuits push the world into their One World Government, I believe that they will want every country to have a Jesuit-Rothschild central bank, so that they can control their money supply (to determine who can buy and sell).

The countries that do not have a Jesuit-Rothschild central bank yet are Syria, Iran and North Korea; which is why they are being demonized as the enemy, to justify military action against them.

Before or after WW III, there will most likely be a worldwide financial collapse, which will shut down commerce, preventing people from buying and selling food and goods.

The Pope may proclaim that they have been preparing for this inevitable event (because the Jesuit’s cause it), saying that they have planned out a solution, which will allow people to buy and sell in their One World financial system.

If you ‘revere’ and ‘obey’ the antichrist beast Pope, you will have the ‘mark of the beast’ on you. They may use a RFID chip or tattoo as part of the One World financial system, but that’s the result of revering and obeying the antichrist beast system.

In Revelation 16:15 Messiah is warning His followers that He is coming soon. This tells us that He will not have come until after the 6th bowl. I believe that He will allow the One World Government to form, and the mark of the beast enforced, before He returns.

“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

Messiah’s return will be like a thief to believers who do not know prophecy fulfillment, but to those who know where we’re at on the prophecy fulfillment timeline, they will be watching and not caught by surprise.

The proper context of Messiah’s return is the fall Feast of Trumpets. Elohim’s seven Holy Feast Days are divine appointments which Messiah is still fulfilling to redeem His set-apart ones.

He fulfilled the Spring Feast Days of Passover (representing His death), Unleavened Bread (representing His sinlessness) and First Fruits (representing His resurrection).  He poured out His Father’s Spirit on the summer Feast of Pentecost.

The ‘last trump‘ on the fall Feast of Trumpets represents the harvest.

We don’t know the year that He will return, but we know the proper context, so we have to wait for WW III and the formation of the One World Government; as I don’t believe that He will return until those things happen.

WW III will lead to the formation of the One World Government of the seventh vial.

Earthquakes in prophecy represent government upheaval, so this mighty and great earthquake in Revelation 16:18 symbolizes the formation of the One World Government, which is split into three parts.  It will be the greatest political upheaval in history!

“The cities of the nations fell” and “every island fled away, and the mountains were not found” speak of the time when the great countries and cities will lose their independent powers, and be subservient to the New World Order.

It’s telling us that the Roman beast, called the great city, will control the world via their three city-state corporations, which are already in place.

The religion part is the city-state corporation of Vatican City, which is used to control the world’s religious and political leaders

The financial part is the city-state corporation of London, which is used to control the world’s financial and trade organizations.

And the military part is the city-state corporation of The District Of Columbia, which is used to control the world’s intelligence and military powers.

The false prophet Jesuit Superior General and antichrist beast Pope will most likely rule their One World Government from Jerusalem, as it is the place that connects all of the major religions. And no doubt they want to rule from there is it was the central place of the people of Elohim.

Who you revere and obey during the One World Government, will determine whose mark you have.

Those who don’t understand that the office of the papacy is the antichrist beast of Revelation, may deem him as a savior, a ‘Christian‘, who is offering to help them in their time of need.

If you revere (worship) the antichrist beast Pope, you have the mark of the beast on your forehead, as it represents your beliefs.  If you obey the Pope, you have the mark of the beast on your right hand, as it represents your actions.

Those who know that the Pope is the antichrist beast of Revelation will not join with him, and will be cut off from the financial system, and may be killed.

Revelation 17 describes the harlot Roman Catholic Church.

Revelation 17:3 “And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.”

In the prophecies of Daniel the ten-horned Wild Beast is the fourth gentile empire, or the Roman. No city ruled the Roman Empire but Rome.

The woman is the harlot Roman Catholic Church.  Since she is riding the beast, it’s telling us that she gets her power from the beast of Revelation 13, the Pope of Rome.

Revelation 17:4 “The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.”

“The color for bishops and other prelates is purple, for cardinals scarlet… The pectoral cross should be made of gold and… decorated with gems…” (Source: Our Sunday Visitor’s Catholic Encyclopedia, 1991, p. 175, 178, 466)

Revelation 17:5 “And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

They are called “Mystery, Babylon the Great,” because they pretend to be part of the true church, but they’re really the Babylonian religion of Sun and Satan worship. The Eucharist ceremony represents the incarnation of their christ child, Tammuz; not the Messiah of Scripture.

Revelation 17:5 “THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

They have created all the major false religions, including Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the New Age Movement, etc.

Revelation 17:6 “I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.”

“History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe, Vol. 2″ documents “That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind will be questioned by no Protestant who has a complete knowledge of history.”

It describes her judgment:

“And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” Revelation 17:16

Revelation 18 says that the harlot church of Rome will be judged.

In Revelation 18:4, Messiah warns “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”

He is not just calling Catholics out of the harlot church, but also Protestants who are following the teachings of Rome.  Read Come Out Of Babylon!

Just as they were used during the previous vial judgments, the Jesuit Superior General and his army will be used to bring about the judgment of the harlot Roman Catholic Church. That may seem contrary as they’re a Catholic priest, but the leaders of the Roman beast kingdom are Satanists who pretend to be Catholics to make war with Messiah and His saints.

It’s pointing to the ten horns, which are the ten leaders of the European nations (referring back to the ten divisions of the Western Roman Empire after the last Roman Emperor was removed); who will desolate the harlot church.

We can see how those countries are being filled with Muslims, who when they gain a majority, may be used to burn down the churches and kill the priests.

Once the antichrist beast Pope and false prophet Jesuit Superior General are in power in the New World Order, they will wipe her out.  They will do it out of vengeance, but in reality it’s Elohim’s judgment against the harlot church.

The seventh vial is poured out in the air and it says that great hail will fall from heaven.

“Hail” in prophecy means ‘war,’ a great war that takes place in the air. It speaks about the ‘weight‘ of the hail, which may refer to the radium used in nuclear bombs, as it is the heaviest known alkaline earth metal.

This could point to the harlot church being attacked by many missiles.

The kings of the earth, all of the world leaders who became rich through the Jesuits, will weep at her destruction. Google ‘Catholic Basilicas’ and you will see a Wikipedia article that lists the many thousands of ornate churches, which are filled with the items that are described, such as marble, fine wood, iron, gold, silver, etc.

Daniel 2 foretold that “a stone was cut out without hands” would destroy the Babylonian statue, which ended with the Rome kingdom. It says “the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”

In Revelation 18:21, it foretells that “a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer.”

Revelation 19 points to the overthrow of the antichrist beast pope and false prophet Jesuit Superior General.

The previous narrative in Revelation has used symbolic language to point to a fulfillment which is very different than a literal explanation, so there’s no reason to believe that Revelation 19 is any different.

Though it seems to point to Messiah coming to capture the antichrist beast pope and false prophet Jesuit Superior General, I contend that Messiah is glorified in winning the battle through His warrior saints.

Just like the Roman leaders who rode a white horse to celebrate their army’s victories in the first seal, Messiah is celebrating His victory of conquering His enemies.

Revelation 19:7-8 speaks about the marriage of the Lamb, and how His wife has prepared herself.

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.”

Notice that it points to her righteousness. Though we are saved by Messiah’s atoning work and His righteousness is attributed to us so that we are pure in the eyes of the Father, this passage seems to be pointing to the bride coming out of the false teachings of the Roman beast kingdom so that she is spotless before her bridegroom.

It seems to describe the effective capture of the antichrist beast pope and false prophet Jesuit Superior General, and the killing of those who came to war against Messiah.

This may point to the warrior saints who teach Scriptural truth to expose the deceptions of the antichrist beast pope and false prophet Jesuit Superior General, to cast them down from power, to set the captives free, for a glorious harvest of souls.

Revelation 20 says that the dragon, Satan, is captured and thrown into the pit.

The battle of Revelation 19 doesn’t say that everyone is destroyed, just the armies who came to fight against Messiah; which leaves people here, to be ruled and reigned over by Messiah’s saints.

Revelation 20 tell us that Satan is released for the Gog/Magog battle, where they will all be consumed by fire.

If Lord Rothschild is Gog and the Khazar Jews are Magog, then that sets up an epic narrative:

• The fake Khazar Jews would seek to attack the true Jews, the believers in Messiah.
• The fake state of Israel would seek to attack the true Israelites,  the believers in Messiah.
• The citizens of physical Jerusalem would seek to attack Holy Jerusalem, the saints.

This is called “the battle of that great day of God Almighty” (Rev. 16:14), the battle of Armageddon. It’s not about a physical battle in Israel, but against spiritual Israel.

Satan will be cast in Lake of Fire.  Unbelievers will be judged and throw into the lake of fire, to suffer and then the second death.

Here is what is not in the book of Revelation:

You may have noticed that there is no mention of the rebuilding of a Jewish temple, no antichrist peace agreement with Israel, no pre-tribulation rapture, no seven-year tribulation period, and no 3 1/2 year great tribulation period, are mentioned in this summary.

Those are deceptions of the enemy, to blind Christians to the truth of prophecy fulfillment. The Jesuits will no doubt cause events like an Israel peace agreement, the rebuilding of the temple, and even a fake rapture scenario is possible. They would do those things to promote their deception, but those concepts are not biblical.

The 70th week of Daniel 9 was fulfilled when Messiah confirmed the everlasting covenant with His blood as the Passover Lamb to atone for our sins. It’s not about the end-times or the antichrist, and it’s not a future 7-year tribulation period. That is a deception from the enemy, to fool the end-times saints. Read The 70th Week Of Daniel Deception

Friend, can you now see the grand deception of the enemy? Can you now see how the prophecies have been fulfilled from the time our Messiah had John write them down, until now?

Are you going to be used by Messiah to overcome the enemy, to bring Him honor and glory?

Or are you going to shrink back, revert to your old beliefs and be lukewarm?

The battle will happen with or without you, but you will stand before Messiah to account for what you did with the truth that has been given to you.

Revelation 22 tells us that the Revelation prophecies have never been sealed, unlike what false prophets teach, but the deceiver has worked hard to blind you to its truths.

“And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.“

When our Messiah comes, will you be blessed for knowing and obeying His prophetic words?

“Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.“

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.”

Friend, you can look at all this and dismiss it because you’ve been taught differently. Or you can pray about it, to ask Messiah if you’ve been deceived by the enemy. Please understand that the deceiver has been working on these plans for a long time, and they are so grand that the mind can hardly conceive them.
