AD Christ's Ascension to
God's Throne
After the
ministry of Jesus, He
ascended back to heaven in AD
30. Jesus had defeated the
devil by His life and death
on the cross as the second
Adam. Jesus redeemed
Adam’s failure by living
a perfect life while being
tempted as a man. Jesus paid
the price necessary to redeem
the human race from eternal
death by His death on the
cross. |

1260
Years of Papal Persecution
538-1798 AD
The Roman
Catholic Church ruled with
cruel and absolute power. If
you dared to disagree with
Papal Rome you did it at the
risk of being tortured and
then burned at the stake.
This prophecy shows what the
world was like when religious
leaders controlled worship of
God with the use of civil
power. God allowed Papal
persecution to continue for
1,260 years to keep the
church pure [Daniel 7:25].

Napoleon
Put the Pope in Prison 1798
AD - Persecution Ended
The persecution
ended when Jesus sent
Napoleon to put the pope in
prison in 1798 as predicted
by Daniel 7:25 which
inflicted a deadly wound upon
the Roman Catholic Church. |

AD War in Heaven
Revelation 12:
7-8
"And there was war in
heaven: Michael [Jesus] and
his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon
[Lucifer the devil] fought
and his angels, and prevailed
not; neither was their place
found any more in
heaven.”
On resurrection morning in 30
AD Jesus ascended back to
heaven and war broke out
between Michael [Jesus] and
the dragon [Lucifer]. Lucifer
had been previously cast out
of heaven over four thousand
years before this time, but
had regained access to heaven
by causing Adam to fall and
taking his place in the
heavenly counsel [Job 1].

30
AD Evil Angels Cast into the
Abyss
After Jesus was
resurrected in 30 AD He
returned to heaven and fought
Lucifer, the angel of hate
that Jesus had created for a
service of love. Then Jesus
[Michael] threw Satan and his
evil angels out of heaven the
second time, but this time
they were cast into the
prison of the Abyss to wait
on death row for their
execution. They were all
guilty of high treason for
attempting to overthrow the
government of God and
instigating the murder of the
Son of God. |
 |
| 31 |
The
Jailhouse of the Abyss
The prison of
the Abyss limits Satan’s
activities compared to his
previous powers displayed in
Job 1, the New Testament, and
other books, but he is still
allowed to tempt men into
sinning. After 30 AD Satan
corrupted the apostolic
church into the Roman
Catholic Church. After the
Catholic Church received
total sovereignty from
Emperor Justinian over all
the matters in 533 AD it
persecuted the Protestants
that worshipped God according
to the Holy Bible. The Roman
Catholic Church did not allow
anyone to disagree with its
teachings on penalty of being
burned at the stake. The
persecution continued for
1,260 years ending just as
Daniel 7:25 predicted when
Jesus sent Napoleon to put
the pope in prison in 1798
AD. |

AD Stephen Stoned - Early
Christian Persecution
The four hundred
and ninety years of Daniel
9:24 was Israel’s last
opportunity to become a
spiritual nation, but they
failed because the leaders of
Israel loved the worship of
men more than they loved God.
The leaders rejected the
Messiah and murdered him, but
God was merciful and He gave
Israel the second half of the
seventieth week to repent
from the murder of their
Creator by the testimony of
His resurrection. They fought
God Himself by persecuting
the followers of Jesus. The
stoning of Stephen in 33 AD
was the end of the
seventieth week and
the end of literal
Israel’s sacred
opportunity. |

538-1798
AD Papal Persecution
By 538 AD Satan
had totally corrupted the
early apostolic church into
what became the Roman
Catholic Church. Catholicism
taught salvation by works and
sold indulgences for money,
which automatically forgave
sins of adultery, lies, etc.,
similar to the Pha r isees in
the time of Jesus [Mark 7].
The Protestants were
persecuted for teaching that
salvation comes by faith in
Jesus alone. This greatly
undermined the authority of
the Roman Church and reduced
their revenue. The
persecution against
Protestants ended in 1798 AD
when Napoleon put the pope in
prison where he died. Then
Satan went off in a rage to
plan his next war in our near
future against all those that
keep the Commandments of God
and hold the testimony of
Jesus in their heart. |
 |
| 34 |
1500's
Saints Fled to the New World
Satan from his
unseen spirit world of the
dragon turned the religious
leaders of the papacy into a
vicious killing machine,
hiding their murderous
character under the clock of
religious piety. After 1492
AD the devil\rquote s plans
began to end and he went into
a rage in 1798 when the pope
was put into prison by
Napoleon ending persecution.
Satan was doing so well
killing Protestants that
refused to stay in seclusion,
but after America was found,
the Papacy that ruled Europe
for 1,260 years ended in
1798; so the dragon [Lucifer]
goes back to his War Room to
plan his next War, which will
occur in our near future |
 |
| 35 |
Then
[in 1798 AD]
the dragon [Lucifer]
was enraged at the woman [the
saints] and went off
to make war [to plan
future war] against
the rest of her offspring -
those who obey God's
commandments and hold to the
testimony of Jesus |

Before
Creation & Sin
The Book of Life
was written and sealed with
seven seals by God the
Father, before creation began
more than six thousand years
ago. It is still sealed shut
– it has never been
opened since it was written
before the first being was
created. The Book
of Life is not used in the
judgment of the world.
Some believe that the Book of
Life is opened from time to
time and names are added and
others are blotted out as
they are condemned, but
this is not true.
The judgment of each person
is determined by each
individual’s choices or
behavior. The Book of Life
proves that even though
God’s foreknowledge is
perfect, each person is
judged by the choices he/she
makes. The Book of Life will
prove to everyone in the
universe that even though God
is all powerful He did not
use His power to determine
who would be saved or who
would be lost. The Book of
Life proves the freedom of
choice. |
 |
| 37 |
Names
of all the Living
The Book of Life
is a record of God’s
perfect foreknowledge of
every living being written
before creation began. |
 |
| 38 |
God
Blotted Out the Lost
God saw it
all before He began creation.
He did
everything He could do to
save each and every person,
but He foresaw that no matter
what He did some would choose
death instead of life. God blotted
out the names of
all the lost before creation
began and then sealed the
book with seven seals.
Everyone is judged by the
books the angels
recorded before the end of
the sixth millennium. When the
Book of Life is
opened at the end of the
seventh millennium the entire
universe will see that God
foresaw it all. Everyone will
see God loved the lost just
as much as those that choose
life instead of death. |
 |

God
Sealed the Book with Seven
Seals
The
Book of Life sealed with
seven seals will demonstrate
the revelation of all that
Jesus Christ really is. The first
seal is
Jesus announcing Himself as Saviour
of the world .
The second
seal is God's
Word and the
Bible given to the entire
world through bible
societies. The third
seal is the
judgment of the
world which is
the cleansing of the
sanctuary [Daniel 8:14]. The fourth
seal
reveals the authority
of Jesus. Jesus
sends judgments upon the
earth by s ounding the first
four trumpets that destroy
one-third of the earth and
kill twenty-five percent of
the global population. The
fifth seal
is the faith of
Jesus is
revealed by the saints giving
their lives for the word of
God and their faith in Jesus.
The saints would rather die
than break any of God' s
commandments. The sixth
seal is the
climax of the seven bowls of wrath
that is God's vengeance
against the wicked for
persecuting and killing the
saints and prophets. When the
seventh seal
is removed from the Book of
Life, the book is opened for
the first time since before
creation. The entire universe
will see that God foresaw it
all and they will see the Righteousness
and Justice of God. |

Then
Jesus Began Creation
Many people see
Jesus a son of God like sons
on earth, but this is not so.
Before Creation began the
Second member of the Godhead
humbled Himself to the
position of the angel named
Michael. Michael [fully God]
worshipped before God the
Father to show the proper way
to worship God their Creator.
The Second Member of the
Godhead is called Michael,
Jesus, the Prince of the
host, the Great Prince, the
Christ, the Son of God,
Immanuel, the Prince of
Peace, the King of Kings, the
Rock, the Saviour, the Lamb
of God, and the list goers
on. Michael is the name that
Jesus uses in heaven. Michael
became the human called Jesus
while He was on earth, but
after He ascended back to
heaven Jesus is called
Michael again. Jesus is the
One creating everything that
exists. |

The
Cornonation of Jesus in 1798
AD
Daniel
7:13-14 “In my vision at
night I looked, and there
before me was one like a son
of man, coming with the
clouds of heaven. He
approached the Ancient of
Days and was led into his
presence. He was given
authority, glory and
sovereign power; all peoples,
nations and men of every
language worshiped him. His
dominion is an everlasting
dominion that will not pass
away, and his kingdom is one
that will never be
destroyed.” Jesus
is crowned king in 1798. The
coronation of Jesus is so
understated and humble that
it goes unnoticed by most.
Jesus had been in submission
to the Father for
at least five thousand eight
hundred years before He is
crowned King in this scene.
Those present in the throne
scene are: God the Father,
the twenty-four elders
redeemed from the earth, the
four living creatures that
represent the Holy Spirit,
Jesus the Lamb of God, and a
myriad of angels. The Jesus
is found worthy to receive
the book of seven seals [Book
of Life] and to set the stage
for beginning the judgment of
the world. Each seal Jesus
removes from the Book of Life
reveals the steps Jesus takes
to save as many of His
children as possible to the
end of the world. |
 |
| 42 |
Jesus
Found Worthy
The Second
member of the Godhead agreed
to give His life for this
world before Creation began.
He first humbled Himself as
Michael the arch angel
worshiping the Father with
Lucifer the other covering
Cherubim. After Lucifer
sinned by coveting the
position belonging only to
God, he was cast out of
heaven. He became the ruler
of the world by causing our
first parents to sin. Then
Michael the arch angel
humbled Himself again by
becoming ‘a human,’
the Son of God and a son of
humanity. The Almighty God
left the universe of
indescribable glory to become
our brother. After His death
and resurrection Jesus
continued interceding for all
His brothers and sisters
pleading His shed blood for
the forgiveness of sin. In
1798 the Ancient of Days
crowned His Son, the son of
humanity, the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords and He was
found worthy to finish the
plan of salvation by the
process opening the seals on
the Lamb’s Book of Life
one by one. |
 |
| 43 |
There
stood A Lamb as if it had
been slain. And I beheld, and
lo, in the midst of the
throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of
the elders, stood a lamb as
it had been slain, ... And he
came and took the book out of
the right hand of him that
sat up[on the throne
Revelation
5:9 “And they sang a new
song: “You are worthy to
take the scroll and open its
seals, because you were
slain, and with your blood
you purchased men for God
from every tribe and language
and people and nation.” The
following is an
outline of the seals;
it shows the final steps
Jesus takes to finish the
plan of salvation, saving the
greatest number of people
possible.
1.
1st
Seal – Jesus
revealed Himself as the
Saviour of the world by
ending Papal persecution in
1798 AD in Europe that had
gone on for 1,260years.
2.
2nd
Seal –
Jesus made the Word of God
available to the entire world
in 1814 AD.
3.
3rd
Seal –
Jesus began the judgment of
the dead starting with Abel
in 1844.
4.
4th
Seal – In
the near future Jesus will
create a global crisis for
the purpose of judging all
seven billion living people
in the world.
5.
Near End of 4th
Seal [5th
trumpet] –Satan,
impersonates Jesus,
counterfeiting the second
coming of Jesus and tortures
those who refuse to worship
him into submission.
6.
5th
Seal –
Jesus, as a last ditch
effort, sends His very best
saints to give testimony to
the truth that causes their
death.
7.
6th
Seal –
Jesus punishes the wicked for
killing the saints and the
prophets. A one
thousand year gap of time
is given for the saints to
determine the punishment of
the wicked and for billions
of people to ask Jesus about
their lost loved ones.
7th
Seal – At
the end of the seventh
millennium Jesus returns to
earth and God raises all the
wicked dead since the
beginning of time; then God
silences the entire universe.
God explains
everything He did to save
each lost person.
Then God burns the devil, his
demons, the wicked, and the
earth to ashes.

First
Seal Opened in 1798 AD
Revelation
6:1 I watched as the Lamb
opened the first of the seven
seals. Then I heard one of
the four living creatures say
in a voice like thunder,
“Come!”
“A white horse – The
white horse is an analogy of
the battle fought and won by
Jesus our Saviour. He sent
Napoleon in 1798 to bring
papal persecution to an
end. Papal persecution
had gone on for over twelve
hundred years by the terrible
monster {Rome} with iron
teeth and the little horn of
Daniel 7:8 {papacy}. Papal
persecution began relent
because God opened the mouth
of the earth in Revelation
12:16 by the discovery of
America. The Protestants fled
to the land of religious
freedom. The end of papal
persecution is ‘a
part’ representing
‘the whole.’ Just
as God revealed His
sovereignty in the affairs of
men by ending the 1,260 years
of papal persecution exactly
as He predicted in Daniel
7:25; so Jesus will end the
war against the saints on the
white horse of Revelation
19:11. |
 |
| 45 |
Second
Seal Opened in 1814
‘A large
sword – the
large sword is the Word of
God. In 1814
Jesus gave the printed Bible
to the world by the American
Bible Society, the British
Bible Society, and many
others. Matthew
10:34-36 “Do not suppose
that I have come to bring
peace to the earth. I did not
come to bring peace, but
a sword.
For I have come to turn
‘a man against his
father, a daughter against
her mother, a daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law
– a man’s enemies
will be the members of his
own household.” |
 |
| 46 |
Third
Seal in 1844
‘Holding
a pair of scales in his
hand’ – King
of Babylon Belshazzar was
weighed in the balances and
found wanting: Daniel
5:27 ‘You have been
weighed on the scales and
found wanting.’ The
pair of balances is the
judgment of the world
beginning in 1844. The date
of 1844 for the beginning the
judgment of the world is
understood by the cleansing
of the sanctuary beginning
two thousand three hundred
years (Daniel 8:14) after the
Medo-Persian King Artaxerxes
signed the decree in 457 BC
(Daniel 9:24) to release
Israel in the first month
(Nisan) of the twenty-first
jubilee cycle that was on a
Sunday year as recorded in
Ezra 7 to finish rebuilding
the temple and the walls of
Jerusalem to make preparation
to greet the Messiah. If
Israel would have accepted
the Messiah the High Priest
would have killed Jesus on
the altar of burnt offering
on Passover. Israel would
have participated in
finishing evangelizing the
world. The process of the
judgment of the world is
understood by the priest
cleansing the sanctuary on
the Day of Atonement in
Leviticus 16. Two altars were
cleansed of Israel’s
sin: the golden altar and the
altar of burnt offering. |
 |
| 47 |
Jesus
our Intercessor
In order to
understand prophecy it is
necessary to understand how
God deals with sin. The
sanctuary is God’s court
room. God’s sanctuary or
court room has an order of
service, and each piece of
furniture in the sanctuary
tells us what Jesus is doing,
depending on the time He is
doing it. The two altars in
the sanctuary reveal two
different levels of
atonement. The altar
of burnt offering is for
individual forgiveness,
and the golden
altar is for corporate
forgiveness, but
at different times the altars
have different meaning
depending on the time, the
date, and the occasion.
The evening and morning
intercession of the priest on
earth was a living puppet
show revealing that Jesus our
intercessor has been pleading
His blood for this world ever
since Adam and Eve sinned in
the Garden of Eden. The story
of prophecy tells us what
happens when
Jesus ends the
continuous intercession at the
golden altar
(the evening and morning
intercession). |
 |
| 48 |
A
Group Asking Forgiveness
Corporately
After the priest
has killed and burned the
morning lamb and interceded
for Israel at the golden
altar, a group of people
would come to the sanctuary
to worship God and ask to
forgive their sins. They
would bring a young bull to
kill showing they really
wanted to be forgiven. A bull
was very valuable and killing
it was a financial loss; thus
showing their resolve to be
forgiven. Each person would
place his hand on the
bull’s head and then one
person would kill the bull.
The priest would catch some
blood in a vessel. The bull
would be burned on the altar;
then the priest would take
some of the blood into the
Tent of the Meeting {the Holy
Place} and put some of the
blood on the horns of the
golden altar,
and the group of people were
forgiven {corporate
forgiveness}. The
Tent of meeting is a tent
where several pieces of
furniture are kept and it has
two compartments divided by a
curtain. The first
compartment is called the
Holy Place and the second is
the Most Holy Place. The
first room of the Tent of
meeting contains the
candlesticks, the table of
showbread, and the golden
altar of incense. A curtain
separates the Holy Place from
the Most Holy Place where the
Ark of the Covenant was
kept. The Ark was a
beautiful piece of furniture
that contained the original
Ten Commandments that God
gave Moses on Mount Sinai in
1437 BC after Israel left
Egypt. The priest put the
blood on the golden altar
that stood before the curtain. |
 |
| 49 |
When
the priest put the blood on
the horns of the golden
altar, offering a prayer of
intercession, the sins of
those people were forgiven
and transferred to the golden
altar in the sanctuary; thus
the sanctuary was
contaminated with the sins of
Israel day after day
Once a year on the Day of
Atonement the sanctuary was
cleansed of all the sins for
the whole year. When we
confess of our sins God
forgives us because Jesus
gave His life as our
substitute. The sanctuary
reveals that God so loves the
world that He is willing to
forgive the world
corporately, with
the condition that they
acknowledge their sins by
confession, repentance, and
making restitution. The
sanctuary also reveals that
even though there are
billions of people in this
world He hears the prayers of
a single person {the
individual}. |
 |
| 50 |
Individual
Forgiveness
When an
individual went to the
sanctuary to ask for
forgiveness, he was required
to bring a lamb that
represented the future death
of Jesus. The person laid his
hand on the head of the lamb
and then cut the lamb’s
throat, killing the lamb as
he confessed his sins, and
his sins were forgiven; thus
the sins were transferred to
the lamb, representing Jesus
dying in his place. Then the
priest would take some of the
blood and put it on the horns
of the altar of
burnt offering
thereby transferring
the individual’s sins to
the altar of
burnt offering.
It is very important to
distinguish the difference
between how God deals with
sins committed by a group
{corporate atonement) and
sins committed by a single
person {individual
atonement}. |
