The book of Revelation is interpreted in three different ways, Past, Present and Future. The futurist interpretation paves the way for a false Catholic doctrine, of a secret rapture and a seven year tribulation. The correct interpretation is that all of the prophecy has been fulfilled, except for the second coming of Jesus or the seventh angels vial being poured out. The first vial began the judgements of God on, at the time Catholic controlled Europe' in the form of the plague. Partly caused through the superstitious practice of killing cats, which in turn caused the rat population to spread the disease.
Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image. After the next four vials the power of Rome was reduced to Vatican City. The sixth vial was the first world war and the subsequent aftermath which established the current Kingdoms dotted across the middle east.
Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. The current world scene is described in this way.
Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
The Dragon is all the isms of this current world all wrapped into one. The Beast is the Catholic System and the False Prophet is Islam. All of these forces are very active in our current time.
The seven Churches are the history of the Christian Church.
The Church of Ephesus era, occurred from 33-100 A.D. The time of the establishment of the Church.
The Church of Smyrna , the Persecuted Church, occurred from 100-313 A.D. A time of persecution by the Roman Empire.
The Church of Pergamos era occurred from 313-538 A.D. ( A time of the rise of Pagan worship,and the beginning of the Catholic Church)
The era of the Church of Thyatira, the Pagan Church 538-1514 A.D. ( The rule of Catholic system or the dark ages)
The Church of Sardis, the Dead Church, occurred during the 1514 – 1798 A.D. ( The Holy Spirit reformation began followed by the wars against the Catholic system)
The era of the Church of Philadelphia occurred from 1798 – 1866 A.D. ( A Holy Ghost Revival begins or the Latter rain)
The era of the Church of Laodicea, the Lukewarm Church, 1866 A.D. – present ( The humanist Church of Today, a Church run by consent and committee's. A mirror image of today's world).
In the midst of this compromised money driven corporation, the God of the Bible is still operating though. The same one who gave the world, through the disciple John this revelation, has also told us what comes next.
