REVELATION UNSEALED


GREECE AND ITS MANY ISLANDS

THE APOSTLE JOHN BEGINS TO DESCRIBE HIS VISIONS OF REVELATION

We shall begin by perusing the first chapter of Revelation exactly as it was written down by the Apostle John. He and Jesus Christ were the recipients of that fascinating information. John recorded all of his visions while he was residing on the island of Patmos in Greece. The proof follows :

I, John, your brother, who share with you in the suffering and the endurance which is ours in Jesus -- I was on the Island called Patmos, because I had preached God's word and borne my testimony to Jesus. Revelation 1 : 9

This is the Revelation given by God to Jesus Christ. It was given to him so that he might show his servants what must shortly happen. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John. Revelation 1 : 1

Have you noticed that the prophecy stated that this particular Revelation was given to Jesus Christ so that he may show us what will occur in the near future. Why would God reveal Revelation to Jesus Christ if He was already dead? There is only one possible explanation. It means that Jesus was still alive and residing with John in Greece on the island of Patmos, which is where he was when Revelation was revealed to Him. For more truthful information on the topic of Jesus surviving crucifixion, whereby no nails but ropes were utilized, it is recommended that you tune in to that presentation. The following link, to the presentation of the crucifixion, has been made available for your convenience :The crucifixion

John, who was one of Christ's apostles, is also allowed to see the visions concerning the near future. He is writing down what he sees and what he hears taking place in the spiritual realm. The angel mentioned, sent by God to John, cannot presently be identified. He is most probably a special Archangel whose name we have yet to discover.

Let us remember that the content of Revelation was probably given to Jesus Christ and to John many years after Jesus Christ was crucified but somehow survived that ordeal because Pilate, the Roman governor, did not want Him to die on the cross simply because the high priests of the Jewish religion wanted Him dead. The reputation of Pontius Pilate was also involved.

Who, in telling all that he saw, has borne witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1 : 2

John states literally that he was a witness to the visions given to Jesus Christ, who was obviously still alive, and to himself. John recorded exactly what was seen by both of them. They were the only two witnesses who were allowed to see the great futuristic happenings while they were clothed with their spiritual attire, their spiritual body which is often referred to in many spiritual circles, as the astral body.

Happy is the person who reads, and happy those who listen to the words of this prophecy and heed what is written in it. For the hour of fulfilment is near. Revelation 1 : 3

God says that those who read and listen carefully to the words of this particular prophecy will be very happy to have had the opportunity to discover the truth.

For the hour of fulfilment is near means that the recorded prophecies would soon come to pass, a few years after they were written. As a matter of fact many of the events recorded in Revelation began happening after the first century AD. Our lack of historical knowledge has hindered us from discovering the real truth concerning those writings. We humans have a tendency to accept only what we are told by those who are supposed to know the truth, our spiritual teachers.

The following verse has much more than a literal meaning, it has deep symbolic meanings. Many hidden secrets are now contained within the words themselves.

John to the seven churches in the province of Asia. Grace be to you and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, from the seven Spirits before his throne. Revelation 1 : 4

John wrote the message that is addressed to the seven churches who are the seven major world religions. They all had their beginning on the continent of Asia. That message originated from Him who is, who was and who is to come, and from the seven Great Spirits who are standing close to God's throne. We will soon discover the identity of many of those spiritual entities.

Who was, who is, and who is to come is a reference to the Holy Spirit. He is the same one who speaks to humanity in every new age or era. He always speaks to the world through another divine Messenger.

At first, the seven churches mentioned in the writings of John may be taken to mean Christian Churches. However, should we begin believing that they are seven Christian Churches, it means falling into a trap and being unable to understand the truth that is contained in the real messages given us, those that are addressed to the seven major world religions. Let me explain : the churches that John mentions did not yet exist at the time that he wrote Revelation, their existence came about three hundred years later. It may be another proof that the Bible was tampered with originally and that the names of the seven major world religions were changed by the first Christians who assembled and translated the Bible, many years later. They may have re-written part of the text trying to make us believe that since Creation God had sent only one true religion to mankind which they say is Christianity. That particular statement is nothing more than a pack of lies.

As we begin scrutinising those important messages, we will realize that they are actually addressed to various major religions rather than various Christian churches in Asia. It has been previously mentioned that those churches had yet to come into existence when John wrote Revelation.

The seven major world religions emanated from the continent of Asia which includes Asia minor. It pertains to the following areas of our world : Palestine, Arabia, India and Persia. The first one of those religions is the Sabean religion, it most probably dates back all the way to the days of Adam and Eve.

In the old testament, in the writings of Genesis, there is a clue that tells us that religion existed in the days of Adam and Eve because the people of those days began to pray to the Lord our God. Someone had to teach them how to pray, it had to be a prophet or a divine Messenger who had been sent by God. The following is the proof which says that the people, who probably lived in the first days of God's Creation, began to pray to the Lord our God by name. Is it not obvious to you as well that someone had to teach those early earth dwellers how to pray?

... "At that time mankind began to invoke the Lord by name". Genesis 4 : 26

The second creation came about with the coming of the prophet Noah. Biblical writings definitely tell us that humanity was restarted by the three sons of the prophet Noah of which we are all their descendants. Therefore, we have no choice but to say that we are not the descendants of the biblical Adam and Eve. For additional information on the topic, tune in to the presentation pertaining to the mysteries of Creation. The biblical proof, of whom we are all the descendants of, follows :

The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were shem, Ham and Japheth; Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and it is from them that the whole earth was populated. Genesis 9 : 18-19

MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS

The first major world religion that mankind ever discovered is the Sabean religion. It is now very old and has gone into a state of dormancy. The second major world religion was the Jewish religion. Most of us already know that its founder was the great prophet Moses whose religion seems to be still alive today although its spirit has left it long ago. It is now like a dead body void of soul or spirit, only its name still remains.

The third major world religion, the Hindu religion, also emanated from the continent of Asia. It emanated from the country of India to be more precise. Later on in history came the fourth major world religion, the Zoroastrian religion. It emanated from the ancient land of Persia on the continent of Asia. There are still some secret organizations who teach their followers to pray to the prophet Zoroaster who was the founder of that religion. As a matter of fact, there is an organization that still exists in California and who prays to that prophet. He was the first prophet to be crucified, long before Jesus' life was supposedly ended on the cross. The Prophet Zoroaster's was crucified and His life was ended by a spear blow to the head.

Some time after the birth of the Zoroastrian religion, the fifth world religion was born. It is Buddhism and it emanated from India. Two thousand years ago, after all of those other major religions came, the sixth major world religion made its appearance on our planet. It is Christianity and it originated from Palestine in the Holy Land, it is also located on the continent of Asia. Its founder was Yeshua Bar Joseph also known to us as Jesus the Christ. Christ meaning the Holy Spirit speaking through someone who is the anointed one, God's chosen one as referred to us by John the Baptist.

In the year 622 after the coming of Jesus Christ came the seventh major world religion, the Moslem religion. It emanated from Arabia on the continent of Asia. The founder of that religion, the prophet Mohammed, was under the influence of the Holy Spirit as were all of the other great prophets who came before him.

Later on in our study, we shall discover the eight and ninth major world religions that God sent to mankind. The ninth major religion has also become global although the majority of the people of the world are still unaware of its existence and are still refusing to investigate it. Should you be curious enough to want to investigate it, you shall soon discover that the beauty contained within the new writings speak for themselves. They are like precious pearls, as mentioned in the allegorical writings of Revelation. This new faith is now well established in India and in some of the pacific islands such as Samoa. That island has a king. Himself and all of his people have accepted God's new teachings that were given to all of the people of our world by his new Manifestation, which is something that the people of this world have yet to do.

The following graphic is the temple of Samoa in one of the pacific islands, It has nine sides and represents the ninth major world religion, a new one.


Temple contains nine equal sides, it is located on the island of Samoa in the pacific ocean.

Let us attempt to discover the meaning of the fourth verse contained in the first chapter which says : "From him which is, and which was, and which is to come". It can only be a reference to the Spirit of God who gave the Christians new teachings, two thousand years ago, when He spoke to the world through the great prophet Jesus. Christianity was the sixth major world religion, it came later on in the history of our planet. We have to realize, if we wish to understand Revelation properly, that many major religions came to life a long time before Christianity.

In the presentation, pertaining to the "Return"of Christ, we discovered that it was prophesied in the writings of John that the Holy Spirit, the advocate - the Spirit of truth - was to "Return" to our world later on to present newer and more modern teachings to humanity. We are about to find out that he did come in 1853, exactly as it was prophesied. He gave the world greater teachings ; although the majority of the people of this world have yet to investigate and study those fascinating new sayings which have been handed down for the present times which we live in. They were written by the returned Christ's own hand and by his own pen. It is the first time in the history of mankind on this planet for that kind of happening. None of the past prophets ever previously wrote down their own teachings in a Holy Book, this is a first. I strongly recommend that you read and study them because they are not only beautiful but they contain what mankind presently needs very badly. The future of mankind will be bright if we begin to study and adhere to God's new teachings which He has already given to our world.

The seven Spirits that are present before God's throne can only be the spirits of the seven greatest prophets who originated the seven major world religions. They were the animators of those religions. They were all, without exception, under the influence of the Holy Spirit. The spirit of Moses was one of those animators, another was the spirit of Zoroaster, the spirit of Jesus was yet another. And then another one of those animators was the spirit of Mohammed, etc, etc.

In other words, the text is referring us to the spirits of the seven major prophets, each of them animating a major world religion. Revelation labels them as the seven Spirits of God. At other times it refers to them as the seven stars because, in Paradise, they shine like the heavenly stars. In the writings of Revelation, they are also referred to as seven angels.

And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and ruler of the Kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins with his life's blood. Revelation 1 : 5

This particular message seems to be given to John by Jesus Christ himself who was also residing on the island of Patmos in Greece at the time. He says that he is a faithful witness to all of the things that are about to be revealed to us in the writings of Revelation. He also says that he is the first born from a world whereby the majority of the people are spiritually dead. He is labelled as the ruler of all the earthly Kings. We shall soon discover that He has ben given the title of "King of kings." He is the one who loved us and freed us from our sinful bondage. He is the lamb of God and, for the Christians, he alone took away the sins of the world.

I strongly suspect that part of the text, Revelation paragraph 1 : 5, was re-written by the early Christian translators when they re-assembled the Bible. John is supposed to write down the facts as they are presented to him and to Jesus Christ. However, the message sounds like it is coming from Jesus Christ himself and not from God. Jesus Christ and God are two separate spiritual entities. God has been known to us as the Father of humanity, Jesus Christ was know as the Son. When Christ came to this world, it was the holy Spirit of God who spoke to the world through Him. Did Jesus not say that the father and Himself were one? Could it be the reasons why religious teachers say that Jesus was God? In a way they are right, yet they are wrong. They have failed to understand that it was the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, who spoke through the Messenger who was known as Jesus. God Manifested Himself to the world through Jesus Christ, thus the Christian era was born.

And he has made us Kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. To Jesus Christ who is the Lamb of God was power and glory given for ever and ever. Revelation 1 : 6

We have to continue remembering that it is the Apostle John who is writing down the message which tell us that Jesus Christ made us spiritual kings and spiritual priests for God who is the Mighty Father of us all.

I suspect that the word priest was added to this text by the early Christian translators. Christ always labelled His followers as disciples and not as priests. When Revelation was written, did Christian priests already exist? No, they did not. It is another proof that the word of God has been corrupted by early Christian writers and translators. Let us remember that it is God who is actually speaking. John writes down all that he sees and hears in that spiritual realm. You may not be aware that God never created any priests. Therefore, we have no choice but to say that they created themselves and took over the reins of religion. In many spiritual writings, God's speaks out against various priests. For example : In chapter 23 of the biblical writings of Matthew, Jesus speaks out strongly against the religious teachers of those days. In this new Revelation, God's speaks out even stronger than before against those who teach religion officially. Another example is : In the old testament, the prophet Elijah had the Jewish people themselves put to death 850 false priests who were leading their followers astray and who were the murderers of their own children. You will soon discover, or you may already have discovered, that God's new Messenger also spoke out against priests saying that they have all taken the reins of religion and given false interpretations to their followers. Most of their interpretations are literal because they do not seem to have any knowledge of spiritual languages such as metaphor and allegory that is utilized throughout those writings. They do not seem to be interested to take the time to study it.

Behold, he comes with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all peoples of the earth shall lament in remorse. So it shall be". Amen Revelation 1 : 7

The above message is very symbolically described and cannot possibly ever be understood literally. It is mentioning the return of the Spirit of Christ who returns to our world with the clouds of obscurity and of human doubts. The prophecy says that every spiritual eye, in the spirit world, shall see him. However what it fails to say is that the majority of the people of our world will not recognize him when He comes to us as an every day human being. The people of this world never seem to be able to recognize God's Messengers and Prophets at their coming. Those spiritual beings, who have been sent by God to mankind to enlighten them, have been numerous throughout the history of the earth.

The Israelites, the Jewish nation, did not recognize Christ when he was amongst them. It would seem that the Christians of today are also unable to recognize God's Messenger for this day and age. Therefore, we have no choice but to say that the Christians are certainly no different than the Israelites. The true searchers, those who are constantly searching for the truth, are the only ones capable of discovering the new Messenger of God who is always animated by the Holy Spirit.

The people of this world of ours will be lamenting and saying where is that promised return, not realizing that only through personal research could they possibly discover that the Spirit of Christ has already returned to this world and given it greater teachings. His return was obscure and man's mind has also become obscured by human doubts and uncertainties. Because of their lack of research, which could have given them greater spiritual knowledge, the Christians have missed seeing that wonderful great event which is the return of the qualities contained within the Spirit of Christ.

As we proceed with our study, we shall soon discover other clues pertaining to that great return of the Holy Spirit who always speaks through another divine Messenger. It is also known to us as the "Return" of Jesus Christ. He did come to us exactly as he had promised, like a thief in the night, and then he probably died of old age and left this world again. His spirit soared on back to the spiritual realm, to Paradise.

Christ had warned us, in the writings of the Apostle Matthew, that unless we were watchful for Him that we would miss the moment of His return, Is it not what has really happened? The above prophecy says that those who pierced him shall see him return. As we know, those who pierced him have been dead for a very long time. As a matter of fact, they are now residents of the spiritual world but probably at the lowest level of that world. From that spiritual realm they saw the spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, returning to the earth like a thief who comes to your home in the middle of the night. However, it is an event that was undetected by the majority of the people of this world.

The prophecy is actually saying that it was an event that could not be perceived with the human eye but rather with the spiritual eye. It could only be seen when looking down on earth from the spiritual realm.

I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1 : 8

Is the utilisation of the Greek alphabet another proof that Revelation was written by the Apostle John when He and the other Apostles had exiled themselves to Greece on the Island of Patmos.

Alpha and Omega are the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet. Therefore, we have to say that the message is self explanatory. It says that he is the Lord that is, he was the Lord who came in the past and he is the Lord who returns to animate us at a future time. The prophecy states that He is the Almighty Spirit himself, He is the Holy Spirit of God. We shall soon discover that he sits on God's throne in the heavenly Realm.

God always communicates with us through his divine Messengers who are animated by the Holy Spirit who continuously give us new spiritual teachings that are necessary for the changing times and for the continuous advancement of our earthly civilization. Therefore, new teachings are now very much an essential necessity for all of mankind.

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, I was on the island that is called Patmos, for I had preached the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1 : 9

John is now telling us that he was on the Island of Patmos in the country known as Greece when the content of Revelation was revealed to him. It is the exact location where he was when he wrote what he saw in his spiritual visions. He then wrote Revelation on scrolls which were later translated into many other languages, but later on in history.

The content of the scrolls were later to become a part of the writings of the new testament of the Christian Bible. Since John told us what country he was in when he wrote Revelation that is the reason for the utilization of that saying in the prelude of these presentations that have been labelled "Revelation unsealed".

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, write down what you see on a scroll and send it to the seven churches : to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Phyladelphia, and Laodicea. Revelation 1 : 10-11

We have to continue remembering that the visions of Revelation were actually given to Jesus Christ and to the apostle John. God allowed Jesus and John, through an out of body experience, to see the future while they visited the spiritual realm clothed in their spiritual attire. That particular happening is called out of body travel which both Christ and John obviously knew and practised. It is also referred to as the mental or astral body which is part of the spirit of man.

John said that, while he visited the spiritual realm, he heard the voice of a great Spirit whose voice sounded like that of a trumpet. It was obviously a very powerful voice who spoke to him with great authority.

John is then told to write the visions presented to him on scrolls. He addresses the content of the scroll to the seven major world religions, churches, who all had their beginning on the continent of Asia. The names of the locations of the mentioned churches are not truly the names of those seven Christian churches because they had yet to come alive when John wrote Revelation.

We shall discover later on, in chapters two and three, that those messages are actually addressed to the seven major world religions sent to humanity by God. He sent major religions to our world one after the other at the beginning of new eras.

It is probable that John chose to utilize the future names of seven of the stronger Christian churches in Europe so that he could hide the true meaning of the prophecies which, as a minor prophet, he had to do. He most likely decided that since those early Christian churches would some day be powerful, its power represented the strength of the other previous major religions. God had sent those religions to humanity one at the time in order to enlighten mankind on this planet. Utilizing those names was a good way of hiding the true meaning of the prophecies of Revelation until the time had come for us to truly understand them. That time has arrived, it is now, it is today.

There is another possibility : some of the first Christian translators who assembled the Bible may have changed the names of the religions, churches, those who were originally mentioned in Revelation. The original scrolls on which the bible was written no longer exist, the Christian church of Rome has destroyed them. I wonder why, don't you wonder why? I strongly suspect that the Greek orthodox church may have the only true version of the original writings of Revelation because most of those writings were originally written in Greek in the country of Greece, not in the Holy Land or in Rome. The seat of Christianity should have been in Greece and not in Rome, Italy. That is where Jesus and all of the Apostles escaped to after the failed crucifixion.

The history of the Christian church of Rome is very strange indeed. The popes of past eras sanctioned the inquisition whereby thousands of good people, who had discovered certain scientific facts, were burnt alive at the stake. Galileo was one of those who had to sign a paper saying that the planets that he was seeing in his telescope was the work of the devil. Thus Christianity slowed down humanity from advancing. It is possible that we should have been travelling to the stars by now. The Christian church of Rome has therefore altered the scientific advancement of humanity by their false actions and their false teachings.

The next paragraph describes to us some truths concerning someone who looks like a Son of Man, who is he? Is it not one of the titles that was often utilized by Christ?

And I turned to see the voice that spoke to me ; And when I turned I saw seven standing lamps of gold, and among the lamps one like a Son of man, robed down to his feet with a golden girdle around his waist. Revelation 1 : 12-13

We previously discovered that those lamps represent the seven major world religions. So it means that the one who looked like a son of man was animated by the Holy Spirit. He was the true animator of the seven great world religions. Actually that Great Spirit, whom the Christians often refer to as the Holy Spirit, was the one who animated the seven major prophets by speaking to the world through them.

The mystery of the seven lamps of gold is now revealed to us in verse twenty. Those lamps represent the seven churches who are the seven major world religions. They descended to this world from the heavenly realm, from Paradise. Those churches, religions, were originally given golden principles. It is for that reason that they are labelled as the golden lamps. We have already discovered that the allegorical saying of the word lamp, in biblical writings, means religion.

The prophecy also says that in the midst of the lamps there was someone who looked like a Son of man. This is not a reference to Jesus Christ who often referred to himself as the Son of man. No, it is a reference to someone else who was like a Son of man. He resembled a human being who was clothed from head to foot. The great entity was clothed with a special spiritual garment, He was also wearing a golden girdle around his waist. He is most certainly a special spiritual entity, a Great One.

The reason why the above reference does not pertain to Jesus Christ is because he is the one that receives the visions and allows the Apostle John to record them on scrolls so that future historians could study them. Therefore, we have no choice but to say that it is a reference to someone else than Jesus Christ.

We will soon discover the identity of that Great Spirit but later on as we continue scrutinizing those symbolical writings. We will also find out that the mentioned son of Man is the one whom the Christians often refer to as the Holy Spirit. However, He Has a name that we shall also discover but later on, as we continue with our study of the fascinating descriptions given us by John and which are contained in the writings of Revelation.

The hairs of his head were white as snow-white wool, and his eyes were as a flame of fire. Revelation 1 : 14

The above description tells us that the mentioned spiritual entity was very old, because it says that his hair was completely white. The description of his eyes, which were as a single flame of fire, is very symbolic. It probably means that he was capable of piercing through any situation, no matter how complex the situation. It is also labelling his great spirituality and his great position in the spirit world. It is the spiritual realm that we humans have labelled as heaven and which Christ has called Paradise when He spoke to one of the thieves who was also crucified at the same time as he was. The proof :

...remember me when you come to your throne. He answered, "I tell you this : today you shall be with me in paradise."
Luke 24 : 42-43

John continues to write down his visions of Revelation.

And his feet gleamed like burnished brass refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. Revelation 1 : 15

The above descriptions are very symbolic. They are telling us that the described entity was robed down to his feet. John could obviously see through the robe because he says that he could also see his feet. As we know, the feet of a person are what holds that person up. The prophecy states that the particular entity had feet which resembled burnished brass. It obviously means that he was incapable of failing in his mission since the strength contained within his legs could hold him up forever, those legs were made of very solid material. The symbolical sayings of the Bible are often confusing, the reason : they have other meanings, allegorical meanings.

His voice sounding like rushing waters means that he is a strong and a very powerful Spirit. He is God's right-hand Spirit. He is the one whom we often refer to as the Holy Spirit. As we continue with our interesting study, we shall soon discover the true identity of that Great Spirit. I am certain that you will also be amazed as to who He really is, you will be even more surprised when we discover His strange given Name.

In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword ; and his face shone like the sun in full strength. Revelation 1 : 16

The answer to the meaning of the seven stars is given to us later on in another chapter. It represents the seven angelic (angels) entities who brought us the seven major world religions, the seven churches. The saying of his face shone like the sun means that he is a very special and a very powerful spiritual entity.

We have to remember that John described the incidents that he saw as best as it can possibly be described in human terminology.

In the spirit world, the good spirits or spiritual entities do not resemble human beings. However, they do shine like the stars of the heavens clothed with their spiritual attire.

The special entity is the same one who spoke through Jesus and who also said that he had a sharp two-edge sword that came out of his mouth. Another way of saying it is : the words that came out of his mouth smites the evil ones with words similarly to that of the edges of a two-edge sword. It is a symbolic way of speaking. The right words pronounced by the right person at the right time can be very powerful, can they not?

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me and said, "Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last : Revelation 1 : 17

The first and the last means that he was the first spiritual entity to make himself known to humanity, it also means that he will be the last one to do so. We shall understand that particular paragraph much better later on as we continue to unseal all of the writings contained in Revelation. We shall discover many more hidden secrets, well hidden within the symbolic words themselves.

I am he that lived, and was dead ; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen ; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1 : 18

Those words were very symbolically written. What it seems to mean is that whoever is talking to the spirit of Christ and to John; He is the mighty powerful Spirit who holds the key of all happenings, good or bad, hellish or deadly.

Although some of the people of our world are saying that he was once alive but that now he seems to be dead, he says that he will always be alive in the spiritual world and that he will always be there for us. He will be there for ever and ever and ever... Truly it is so (Amen).

He also says that he has the knowledge (the key) to save us from spiritual death which is the road that certain people have decided to follow while living on our planet. It is surprising to discover that many people do not believe in God, the great Creator. Therefore, biblical writings are saying that they are spiritually dead.

Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; Revelation 1 : 19

John is reminded to insure that he writes everything which he has seen in the heavenly realm, everything that is and which is to occur later on in history. He is going to describe to us all of the great happenings that he was allowed to see in the heavenly spiritual world.

Here is the secret meaning of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven lamps of gold : the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps are the seven churches. Revelation 1 : 20

The secret meaning of the seven stars is now given to us freely without us having to search for it. We are told that those stars, Great Spirits, which were labelled the seven angels in previous paragraphs, also represent the spirits of the seven major prophets who originated each and everyone of the major world religions. Those stars were angelic beings, meaning that they were special entities who were doing the will of God which all angels do.

The word "star" is often utilized in scriptures, it represents a great individual or a great prophet who gives new teachings to mankind. However, sometime it represents a person who has great potential. Unfortunately, that person has allowed its negative side to come out and has turned satanic. As a result, he is labelled as a fallen star.

Each and everyone of the stars or prophets were animated by the great Spirit Himself. That fact is described to us in the first chapter. Therefore John is saying that the seven golden lamps represent the seven major world religions, they are the seven churches mentioned in those writings.

The following presentation will describe to us what has happened to the seven major world religions referred to in Revelation as the seven churches. It is going to tell us that they all went astray from almost their very beginning. They falsely translated the content of their holy Book thus giving false information to their followers.

The seven churches
