What, you’ve never been told about the Book of Revelation?

Like you are, I too was a victim of CSFD (Christian Science Fiction Doctrine).

I have an entire website dealing with CSFD addiction (Seen here). I’ll just cut to the chase so I can get on with telling you the answer you came looking for.

NOTICE: I’m about to make statements that will set your hair on fire if you’re a victim of CSFD. For the sake of brevity, you’ll see many words and phrases I use are also links to various blogs I’ve written and/or videos on my YouTube channel that will provide my evidence to each claim. Hold on tight now!

The CSFD looks something like this:

  • Daniel’s 70th week equals the last seven years prior to the return of Jesus.
  • At this point the Pre-Trib Rapture removes the saints because they cant be hit with God’s wrath having Jesus in their hearts. Also connected to “He that letteth” being the Holy Spirit being removed allowing all Hell to break loose.
  • During this “last week” the Antichrist comes as a man of peace and makes a deal with the Jews.
  • Halfway through the week (3 1/2 years), he breaks the deal and slaughters a pig in the new and third Jewish Temple.
  • He set’s up the Abomination of Desolation and gives it power to speak.
  • He begins to make everyone wear 666 on their foreheads, makes a one world government, and cashless money system not allowing anyone to buy or sell without his 666 mark.
  • Now comes the Great Tribulation along with the Four Horses of the Apocalypse,  Seven Seals and Seven Trumps
  • Then Jesus returns after seven years with all the Saints to fight the Armageddon War in the Valley of Megiddo.
  • Followed by a 1000 year rule of God on Earth called “The Millennium”, at which time Satan is locked in the bottomless pit.
  • After which, Satan is released and takes 1/3 of the population with him into the final battle where God destroys them all.

Then we all live happily ever after!

Problem is, none of it is true. It’s all erroneous evil inspired false doctrine designed to undermine the church. Designed to catch the last days generation looking forward to what has almost entirely already occurred. But I digress.

I’ll point out two major problems with CSFD before I point you in that new direction you’re anticipating.

  1. The Book of Revelation has all the Seals, the Great Tribulation and 6 of the Trumps occurring BEFORE the 7th Trump when Jesus returns. NOT AFTER. Which means no Pre-Trib Rapture folks.
  2. In the CSFD you’ll notice Jesus returns TWICE. Once to rapture the Saints at the “Last Trump” (which magically doesn’t count as his 2nd coming because His feet don’t touch the ground), then AGAIN seven years later without a Trump as His “official” 2nd coming.

As a staunch believer and preacher of the CSFD for nearly 40 years, I’m so blessed and fortunate I never lost my desire to learn or the ability to change my mind as new facts surfaced. I pray you’re here for the same reason.

The Key to Understanding the Book of Revelation in regards to its prophecies and events leading up to the return of Jesus Christ is:

Most of Revelation was written ethnographically

Ethnographic - Speaking about a particular culture in a particular geographical area

Ethnographic – Speaks to a particular culture in a particular geographical area

Most of the
Book of Revelation
was written
TO, FOR, and ABOUT
what was going to
happen to the
Jews/Christians in Israel

The Seven Churches Of Revelation

How do we know this? Because we know in Revelation chapter one Jesus tells John specifically who to address the letters to, the Seven Jewish Christian Churches in Asia (Now called Turkey). Read it for yourself.

Don’t worry, I can hear your question. “Why is this the Key to understanding the Book of Revelation?”

Because now you know Jesus wasn’t talking about the whole world. The Book of Revelation (up to the 2nd coming of Christ), was written to warn the Jews/Christians in Israel and throughout the Middle East what was going to happen to them during the Last Days age which started at the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and really starts ramping up in 70 AD when Rome levels Jerusalem, as Jesus (speaking about the Jews) foretold in Matthew Chapter 24. This was the beginning of the “Times of the Gentiles” during which the Great Tribulation would fall on the Jews.

THE WHOLE BOOK OF REVELATION IS MOSTLY ABOUT THEM. Most all the prophecies and events ARE NOT WORLDWIDE, they are limited to Israel and the surrounding Middle East countries. Will the events affect other parts of the world? Sure, Nazi Germany and 9/11 are proof of that. Will people in the United States (and most of the world) ever worry about having to receive the “666 Mark of the Beast”? NOT AT ALL.

End Times Current Events

In order to monitor where we are on the timeline of these Last Days, I use the Blog page called End Times Current Events to keep watch of all the happenings in, around, and about Israel. Check in daily to monitor these events yourself. This is how we can follow Jesus’s command to watch.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Earlier I made reference to most of the events, and prophecies described in the Bible for the age of the End Times have already occurred (specifically those to occur prior to the 2nd advent).

When I say most, I’m talking about:

  • The False Prophet possessed by antichrist (aka The man of sin, the lawless one, the son of perdition), came and went 1400-ish years ago.
  • The 7th beast rose up, then received its deadly head wound, later to be revived as the 8th and final beast.
  • As I noted earlier, the Great Tribulation already happened.
  • The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have all been set loose.
  • The Abomination of Desolation was set up (and presently still is) on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
  • The 666 Mark of the Beast has been around for centuries, and is recognized the world over.

There are but a few events left before the return of Jesus Christ. The map reflects what’s likely the first of those events (Psalm 83 war). Ever wonder why all the fuss over that little teeny tiny piece of land called Israel? (Click map for a video on the subject) The short answer is, because it has the most Holy place in all the universe, Jerusalem. Ground Zero.  Now you know why I use the City of Jerusalem and the Star of David in my imagery. But why coupled with the Islamic temple Dome of the Rock?
