Purpose

It was in the early ’80s when the Lord began to call me to gaze deeper into the revelation of the book of Revelation. I received powerful visions, vivid dreams, angelic visitations, and the Holy Spirit’s instruction surrounding the prophetic words of the book of Revelation that are found in every book of the prophets.

The next three decades of my life would be spent in the secret place of the heavenly library with The Holy Spirit as my great teacher, providing present interpretations for this generation previously received by the prophets and apostles.

As a prophet of God, it is my duty and mandate to reveal the things that have been revealed unto me. This book and the series that follow secure an understanding of the contents of the seals written in the book of Revelation. It will also motivate the church to move in the power of the Holy Spirit: heal the sick, cast out demons, and invade spheres of influence of darkness and spiritual wickedness, which have been historically neglected.

This series of books is to encourage the church to prepare for a sudden wave of national conversions into the Kingdom of God, to warn the church to reestablish the principles of the Lord, and purify them in preparation for what is to come. The contents of this book are vital. We must prepare for famine, war, and prosperity.

More importantly, we must know when to sow seed, when to harvest, and when to store. This book not only explains, with detail, the prophecies of the book of Revelation, but also provides instructions for preparation of what is yet to come. The hour is pressing because the hour is now. It is time for seal 1 to be opened.

In putting the information together from the different prophecies, and being guided by the Holy Ghost, the people of God will be warned of the things that are coming upon the earth. The day and the hour we do not know, but we were given the time and the season. The revelation of the times, and the events associated with them, will be explained in detail as we go through this work

Introduction

Finally, the follow-up to Christ’s Second Coming: A Message to the Church. Subtitle Spirits and Their Role in Prophecy. (CSCSRP) is a -good introductory companion to this book. It contains prophetic revelations and biographical information about my calling. It also contains some explanation of the symbolic language used in prophecy and written for those who seriously study prophecy. Those who have call prophetic call on their life will find it useful. Some of the experiences from my journey shed light on experiences some might be going through. The book also contains prophetic letters written to the church. These letters were shared with ministers across the country.

At the end of this book, I have inserted letters, some can be found in (CSSRP), as well as subsequent letters delivered more recently to the Churches of various denominations. These are prophetic letters that were sent out to the churches, dating as far back as the nineteen eighties. You can read the full content of all the letters, located at end of the book.

This book takes the reader into the content of seals one, two, and three. These prophetic revelations give the believers instruction on how to prepare for what is coming. We are the children of the day and not of the night. The things that are coming upon the earth, should not take us by surprise. Through these prophetic warnings, and revelations, God is preparing the believers to face all types of challenges. This book and series of books, gives us the foreknowledge of God plans for his people, and the world. The books prepare us to escape the evil that is coming, as well as the good that God has prepared for us.

What is interesting about the prophecies throughout the Bible is the harmony of the prophets. We find here a little and there a little. Like a giant jigsaw puzzle, every prophet contribution brings clarity to the writing of the other. In the end, when properly arranged and rightly fitted together, it speaks one clear message. There are a series of sequential events that will take place with the opening of each seal. This book connects the prophecies found throughout the scriptures, and completes the puzzle, thereby making clear the divine plan for humanity.

Chapter One

First Seal

The apostle John was taken into heaven, and received certain revelations concerning the time of the end. He was to write the message in a book, and share it with the seven churches, situated in Asia. John was also told, Blessed is he who read aloud the words of the prophecy of this book, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written, for the time is at hand. Rev.1: 3. At the end of the book of Revelations, we read that we are not to add, nor take away from the prophecies found in the book. The consequences of doing so would result not only in our name not written in the book of life, but also receiving the plagues found in the book. Rev. 22:18-19

John begins the letters, by first crediting them to the author, and the finisher of our faith by saying, Grace and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come. And from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loved us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom of priest to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever, Amen.

There are several important things to consider about the introduction. First, it is from one whose existence is from everlasting. Second, He is, and was, and is coming again, showing that his existence is eternal. Next there are seven spirits before the throne of God, who are the seven Spirits of God. Then there is Jesus. By His blood, we are cleansed from sin, and He has made us a kingdom of priest to his father. Jesus identifies himself to John as: the Almighty, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is the one who died, and is alive, and has the keys of Death and Hell.

John wrote that he was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and heard a voice, which sounded like a trumpet, behind him. The voice told him to write the things that he was about to see in a book, and then send it to the seven churches. Turning to see the one whose voice was like a trumpet, John did not see Jesus as the man whom he knew and loved. He did not see the one who hung on a cross. He did not see him as his resurrected Lord. No, instead, when he turns to look upon his Lord, he sees: Seven golden lampstands. In the midst of the lampstands he saw one that looked like the son of man robed in a long robed with a golden girdle around his breast

What is interesting about the following image that John is looking at is that not long before seeing the lord in his eternal form, John walked with Jesus on the earth. John was also there at the feet of the cross when he hung there. John also saw him after he resurrected from the dead. Finally, John saw him on the mount of transfiguration, where he was physically changed before his eyes.

However, in this vision, he is seeing a different manifestation of his Lord. Now, he is seeing him with: His head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in the furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. Rev1: 4-12

Was that the metaphorical body of Jesus that John saw? Or is it the same Jesus that Daniel saw? The man Daniel described the exact image of the Lord. In describing the vision Daniel wrote, "I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose lions were girded with gold of Uphaz. His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the noise of a multitude," Dan. 10:5-6.

When the prophet Ezekiel saw God, he described his upward body as gleaming bronze, as enclosed in fire, and his lower body as fire, Ezek. 1: 27. It was over five hundred years, between Ezekiel and John, but the same Jesus, remained constant in his appearance, when he is revealed from heaven. I would conclude that is what he looks like in heaven.

Throughout the writing of the prophets, we are confronted with different images. The images that John saw around Jesus was like the candlestick, or the stars in his right hand, even to the very garment he wore, all have a symbolic meaning. In this writing I am going to explain in detail, the meaning of the symbols, first by combining John’s revelations, with the writing of the other prophets. I will then add the revelations I received to make clear to this generation, the symbolic words of God.

The Lord reveals to John, through an angel, the meaning of the symbols. He also describes some aspects of his divine nature, and the promises, that those who obey and believe will inherit. We will start with his divine nature.

➢ To the church in Ephesus, he is described as the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand, and walks in the midst of the seven lampstands

➢ To the church in Smyrna he is the first and the last, which was dead and is alive forevermore. Rev: 2:8

➢ To the angel of the church in Pergamos, He has the sharp two edge sword (which proceeds out of his mouth 2:16) Rev: 2:12

➢ To the church in Thyatira: He is the Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass. Rev. 2:18

➢ To the church in Sardis: He has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars. Rev. 3:1

➢ To the church in Philadelphia. He is holy, he is true, and he has the keys of David. He opens, and no one shuts, and what he shuts, no man opens. Rev. 3:7

➢ To the church in Laodicea, he is the true and faithful witness, the beginning of the creation of God. Rev. 3:14

Revelations and Interpretations

Beginning with the lampstand and the stars, John was told: As for the mystery of the seven stars, they are the angels of the seven churches and the seven lampstand are the seven churches. Rev: 1:20

In another vision, John saw in the midst of the throne of heaven: A Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth (Rev. 5:6). Here again we see different image, pointing to the same Jesus. Those eyes should not be confused with the seven angels, because the two are not the same as we learn from chapter 3 in the book of Revelation.

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; these things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars (Rev. 3:1).

Notice they are mentioned as two separate entities, which indeed they are, because the seven Spirits of God run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him (2 Chron. 16:9).

Those seven horns are seven Christian nations that are part of the stone that will strike the enemies of God. And they sung a new song, saying, thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth (Rev. 5:9).

Those nations and congregations can be identified by the message given to each church. The first cross representing a church nation was the United States. Upon every continent, there will be a body of believers that will eventually unite and follow one shepherd.

Concerning those Spirits, the Lord revealed them to me in a dream as Seven Women. They were going through doors in heaven and earth. These were Spirits that traveled about the earth, but they each went into their own door between the heaven and the earth. They see what is taken place on the earth, as well as heaven. It is written: "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the earth beholding the good and the evil. Prov. 15:3 Chron. 15:1

The seven horns are seven nations, which are situated on seven continents. When the mystery of God is complete, the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of God. His kingdom, and dominion, will be on the seven continents. It is important for rulers to know that God rules in the affairs of man. He sets up rulers and he takes them out of power. Those that rule righteously, he gives gifts, to aid them in leading their people.

As I was praying concerning the seven, the Lord showed me seven crosses standing erect in the earth. These were next to each other, forming a horizontal line, from one end of the earth to the other. The crosses represent the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation, as well as the seven spirits that inhabits them.

After that John was taken higher, he saw, "In the right hand of the one seated on the throne, a scroll written on the inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals; and I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals? No one in heaven, on earth, under the earth, or those that lives in the sea, could open the scrolls

Then one of the elders said to me, Do not weep. See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals." He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne … And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such are in the sea and all that are therein, I heard saying: blessings and honor and glory and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne and to the lamb forever and ever. Rev.5: 8-15

This scene has some very informative images. First, it reveals that there are creatures with intelligence like man, and even greater than man, that lives, not just in heaven and earth, but also under the earth, as well as in the sea. The living creatures, the elders, and the innumerable company of angelic beings, are all part of God eternal kingdom. They all bowed down, and will bow down, to worship the Lamb who was slain. Through his sacrifice, he has made us a kingdom of kings, and priest to God. Those men and women, who are faithful to the end, will live and rule with him on the earth.

After the Lamb took the book, we read: Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder, Come!" and I looked, and there was a white horse! Its rider had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering and to conquer. (Rev. 6:2, KJV)

The Rider

As was stated earlier, the prophets wrote metaphorically. What the meaning of the horse, the bow, the arrows, and the crown that was given to him? To begin, the rider went forth conquering, and to conquer. That rider, we will show through the scriptures, represents the Word of God, and the Spirit of Truth. How do we know this rider is the Word of God, and the Spirit of truth?

Turning to the book of Revelations we read: And I saw heaven open and behold white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. The rider on the white horse went to wage war, and to conquer. His eyes were as a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns… John described Jesus as having eyes like a flame of fire, with a sharp two-edge sword, proceeding out of his mouth. John also said that his countenance shone like the brightness of the sun. (Rev.: 14-17).

Reading further: And he was clothed with a vesture dip in blood and his name is called the word of God. We know from
