Here are 40 reasons that will help you get rid of the demonic teachings of the Book of Revelation, for good. If you want us to consider more reasons, please, send us a message. We will continue to add content on this subject so, stay tuned.
Private appearances of Yeshua and new revelations were rejected by Yeshua.
- “Believe it not.” The Book of Revelation contains the visions given by an angel sent by Jesus to reveal “the events that must shortly take place.” He said, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Rev. 1:1-3. “Must shortly” cannot possibly be 2000 years! When Yeshua described the End Times, He didn't tell us to wait for NEW REVELATIONS He would make in the future. On the contrary, He warns that, “If any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not.” Matt. 24:23
- False prophecy. In Deuteronomy 18, Yah forbids us from listening to “any one that …uses divination, or an observer of times… For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.” Deut. 18:10 The diviner or observer of times, uses sorcery, dreams, visions, etc. to interpret the future. Later in this chapter, God also gives us the tools to unmask the false prophet, one of them is that the prophecy is never fulfilled, “ When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.” Deut. 18:22 In the case of Revelation, we can certainly attest that it has never been fulfilled since in every generation the expectations are never met.
- A mediator for The Mediator? Or a medium? Yeshua needed an angel to communicate with his beloved disciple? The disciple that was leaning on Yeshua’s bosom at His Last Supper had visions of an unnamed angel because His Lord cannot talk to him directly like He did while He was alive… ? Also please notice that nowhere in Revelation, John says he was an apostle or the beloved disciple. So, who is this John and what are his intentions?
- “I have told you everything in advance.” Believing that Yeshua who came into this world to speak openly in front of everyone, needed to come at a later time to add new revelations, is to believe that Yeshua’s testimony wasn't complete as He Himself testified, “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.” Mk. 13:22-23. “All things” means all things, not “some things!” Are we forgetting the meaning of words?! Was there something that Yeshua left out that He had the urge to communicate to a single person in a private vision at a later time?!
- Yeshua’s next appearance will be a universal event. It is also important to remember that the next time Yeshua will appear will be in front of all the people on earth that has existed and will exist until that day, “And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Matt. 24:30. When Yeshua was taken up to Heaven, the angels said to the disciples that, “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” Acts. 1:11. So, no. Yeshua does not approve of any private revelation done in His Name.
The messages of the Book of Revelation are more aligned with the Occult than with Biblical principles.
- We don’t need new Signs of the End Times. Are we to believe that Our Lord appears to a selected few to give them private revelations when He preached publicly for all to hear? “I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.” John 18:20. And didn’t the Apostles ask about the Signs of the End Times and he answered plainly? So, why does He have to appear to some obscure character to give him an incredibly messy private revelation that not a single person in 2,000 years has been able to decipher?
- Learning witchcraft to decipher Revelation? Because to be able to decipher Revelation, one must know Kabbalah, Gematria, and the Occult! Is this what God wants His Children to learn? Or is it the devil who makes us literally go through hell trying to figure out what Revelation means? In every generation, there are hundreds of interpretations because everyone seems to be an expert in Revelation, but, surprise, not a single Christian has been able to nail it in 2000 years. Revelation, without a doubt, is the ultimate false prophet’s book.
- Thousands of interpretations. Where does God command His Children to learn witchcraft in order to interpret His Messages? Nowhere. Kabbalah, on the other hand, is the hidden mysticism of the Jews. Hidden for a reason since it is witchcraft and those who know Kabbalah are able to interpret the occult meaning of Revelation. Gematria in the Book of Revelation, specifically involves calculating the numerical value of the letters in a word or phrase to uncover hidden meanings. One verse states that the number of the beast is 666, and it is also described as the number of a human. Without exaggeration, there are hundreds of different interpretations regarding whom this number is assigned to. Some scholars propose that the gematria of "Nero Caesar" (Nron Qsr in Hebrew) equals 666 and that was who the author of Revelation had in mind. In the same manner in every generation and even till this day, there are many that fit the 666 of Revelation, according to the ‘experts.’
- Numerical values and hidden meanings. We have never been encouraged by God to learn numerical values and to decipher hidden meanings. This is the job of Satan. And the Book of Revelation is full of them: the TWO witnesses, the ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR THOUSAND sealed, the SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX number of the beast, the FOUR horsemen, the TWO olive trees, the TWO lamp stands, the SEVEN heads, the TEN horns, etc. We can go on and on, there are dozens, if not hundreds of examples. Did Yeshua ever speak like this? No. That’s why we should reject with all our heart this strange voice that doesn’t belong to Our Master. This Jesus of Revelation is not the same Yeshua of the Gospels. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27
- Retroactive clairvoyance. We could argue that the Old Testament’s prophets used lots of symbolism but their prophecies can and should be weighed against historical facts, since these are prophecies that have been fulfilled, unlike the book of Revelation which one must decipher to be able to figure out future events. The Book of Revelation is a type of retroactive clairvoyance, where vague, symbolic language allows for multiple interpretations and post-event fitting of predictions to actual events. If this is not divination, then nothing is divination. Besides, true prophets don’t prophecy future events that “must shortly take place” and “the shortly” happens to be thousands of years! That’s why God gave us the Test of the Prophet in Deuteronomy.
- Revelation inspires doomsday cults. Not to mention that throughout history hundreds of doomsday cults have appeared, all claiming to know the right meaning of the book of Revelation. Many of them have even attempted to put a date to the end of the world without success, simply because “Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matt. 24:36. Doomsday predictions are contrary to what Yeshua taught, “Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find [watching].” Matt. 24:46. And by “watching” Yeshua means we must be doing what is righteous, not learning Gematria, Occultism, and giving our own interpretation to hidden symbolism and events.
On what basis was the Book of Revelation approved as a Canonical Book of the Bible?
- A bloodthirsty bishop places the Book of Revelation in the Roman Canon. Sozomenus, a 5th century Byzantine Christian historian, recorded that the Melitians, a group opposing the authority of Athanasius, the Bishop of Alexandria, accused Athanasius of causing divisions in his diocese, preventing people from entering the church and even of murders and imprisonments. Later, Athanasius did the same to the Arians. It is believed Arian was poisoned and all because he would not deny his position which according to Athanasius was heretical.
- A condemned book became a holy book. In the 4th century, Athanasius insisted on adding Revelation to the Canon when the majority of bishops in Asia Minor condemned it as blasphemous. Eusebius records how Revelation was among those books that were questionable during in the early fourth century, “Among the rejected writings must be reckoned also the Acts of Paul, and the so-called Shepherd, and the Apocalypse of Peter, and in addition to these the extant epistle of Barnabas, and the so-called Teachings of the Apostles; and besides, as I said, the Apocalypse of John, if it seem proper, which some, as I said, reject, but which others class with the accepted books.” [1] But it was Athanasius who thought it was a great idea to end the Bible with a book full of gore to discourage those he deemed heretical.
- The ultimate mashup, but, whatever. The book of Revelation plagiarized and twisted passages from the books of Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Psalms, and Zechariah. It also borrowed from Jewish apocalypses 4 Esdras and 2 Baruch. The author also used people in the Old Testament like a Jezebel, teaching false doctrines, Gog and Magog, leaders of great armies, Balaam’s teachings, etc.
- Approved by the apostate Church?! Why do Christians feel compelled to accept as God-inspired the Canon of the Apostate Roman Church, when many of us understand the kind of poison they introduced with Paul? 2 Peter has always been known to be a forgery. Martin Luther and the Reformation leaders removed certain books from the Old Testament, primarily those that were part of the Greek Septuagint translation, collectively known as the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books. They were rejected for various reasons, including doctrinal differences. If we could get rid of the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books for obvious reasons, why can’t we get rid of the Book of Revelation which is plagued with the Occult and doctrinal errors?!
- Yeshua is Lucifer? John of Patmos calls Yeshua "the bright and morning star," Rev. 22:16. This reference was first used in the Bible by Isaiah to describe Lucifer, “How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” Isa. 14:11-15. “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” Rev. 22:16. So, the Jesus of Revelation identifies himself as Lucifer, but here we are, 2,000 years later, forcing Our Beloved Lord into this demonic entity?! This should remind us of the apparitions of Mary which come with plenty of evidence demonstrating they are demonic, but, somehow people are so enchanted by the lies of the visionaries that they become incapable of seeing the deception for what it is.
- The Book of Revelation of John of Patmos is not unique. It belongs to a genre called Apocalyptic literature, which according to the Jewish Encyclopedia, is the revelation of hidden mysteries and future events made through visions or dreams, usually revealed by angels. The typical message of Apocalyptic works is that “Israel would ever be able to get the upper hand of the surrounding nations, the stronger grew the feeling that the final triumph would be preceded by a complete overthrow of the existing order. The present age would come to a sudden end; and a new age, ushered in by the "day of the Lord," would take its place.” [2] To the Jewish mystic, Israel will subdue the nations aided by God who will destroy their enemies. The oppressed and misunderstood Jewish nation will be avenged, the gentile nations will be enslaved, and a new world order will be established in which Israel will be the leader of a new dawn for humanity.
- The Book of Daniel is also Apocalyptic. One could argue that the Book of Daniel belongs in this genre, and it does, however, Daniel deals mainly with the prophecies of the Babylonian exile and the coming of God's kingdom already FULFILLED by Yeshua, while Revelation, emphasizes the UNFULFILLED ‘immediate’ return of the Messiah and His Millennial Kingdom. And while the Book of Daniel was endorsed by Yeshua, he did not endorse the message of the Book of Revelation. In fact, Yeshua rejected the type of kingdom proposed to him by the champions of the materialist kingdom of God on earth.
- Paul, yes, but not John? If we don’t listen to Paul who said He saw Yeshua but went on preaching teachings that contradict Yeshua, why should we listen to anyone claiming to receive private revelations that also contradict Yeshua? This makes zero sense. The Book of Revelation has in it the most damning evidence that demonstrates its doctrine didn’t originate with Yeshua. If we don’t believe in the false Jesus of Paul, why should we believe in the false prophecies of the Jesus of John of Patmos?! The same logic we apply to the false apostle Paul should be applied to the false apostle John!
John of Patmos was not John the Apostle. Neither was he John, the Beloved disciple, who wrote the Gospel and the Johannine Letters.
- John the Apostle’s stolen identity. For the sake of this argument, it is extremely important to demonstrate that John, the Apostle, is not the writer of the Gospel of John and the Johannine letters, nor the writer of the book of Revelation. And it is important to clarify this because all Christians assume that if John the Apostle wrote Revelation, it is good to go and they totally dismiss the colossal doctrinal errors found in Revelation. If John of Patmos never identified himself as John the Apostle, where did we get this vague claim?
- The truth must be withheld so that authority prevails. To defend the authority of the Book of Revelation, the Roman Church continues to lie about the fact that they have always known that the Apostle John is not John of Patmos. However, Our Lord even told John, His apostle, how he would die, “But Yeshua said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? And they said unto him, We can. And Yeshua said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized.” Mark 10:38-39. This cup is no other than the Baptism of Martyrdom which the false apostle John of the Roman Church never experienced.
- Testimony of Polycrates. At the end of the second century, Polycrates, bishop of Ephesus, wrote a letter to Victor, the bishop of Rome, in which he identifies John, the Beloved Disciple, as John the Elder. John the Elder was not John the Apostle, but a priest to whom Yeshua entrusted His Mother at the cross. “John, who was both a witness and a teacher, who reclined upon the bosom of the Lord, and, being a priest, wore the sacerdotal plate.” [3] We all know that John, the Apostle, was not a priest. He was a fisherman. And according to Acts, he was “an unlearned and ignorant man,” not a skilled teacher and writer. (Acts 4:13)
The ‘mistakes’ and tall tales of the ‘Fathers of the Church’ that made an apostle of Yeshua out of a total stranger.
- Apostle or Disciple? Every follower of Yeshua is a disciple, but Yeshua, out of all of His disciples, chose only twelve apostles. The apostles were chosen by Yeshua to spread the gospel and build the early church. In his book Against Heresies, Irenaeus in the 2nd century wrote, “Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect, while Peter and Paul were preaching at Rome, and laying the foundations of the Church. After their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, did also hand down to us in writing what had been preached by Peter. Luke also, the companion of Paul, recorded in a book the Gospel preached by him. Afterwards, John, the disciple of the Lord, who also had leaned upon His breast, did himself publish a Gospel during his residence at Ephesus in Asia.” [4] If these were all apostles Irenaeus could have said so, but instead he talks of this particular John as the disciple of the Lord, who had leaned upon His breast, and who also published a Gospel in Ephesus.
- A very suspicious tale that became a fact. The falsehood that John the Apostle was the author of the Book of Revelation probably originated in the 2nd century with pagan convert Justin Martyr, a self-proclaimed Christian who was also a philosopher and a storyteller. Justin Martyr claimed that when he went to Ephesus, “There was a certain man with us, whose name was John, one of the apostles of Christ, who prophesied, by a revelation that was made to him.” [5] Who is this man Justin Martyr claims was the apostle of the Lord and had this vision? And why does he only mention his revelation, not his Gospel or Letters? It is certainly not John the Apostle since all evidence proves that the apostle John was not the John found in Patmos (See reasoon #23). Did Justin meet the true author of Revelation then? And it couldn’t have been John the Elder either since John the Elder never introduced himself as an apostle, but a disciple. So who is this John posing as an apostle who gave Justin the details of his vision and whom Justin defended enthusiastically from his opponents? Were they associated? Justin Martyr was born in the year 100. How old exactly was John ‘the apostle’ when he met Justin Martyr?!
- More “mistakes.” In the early third century, while trying to defend the apostolic succession of his sect, Tertullian named John the Apostle, not John the Elder, as the leader of the church of Smyrna, “For this is the manner in which the apostolic churches transmit their registers: as the church of Smyrna, which records that Polycarp was placed therein by John; as also the church of Rome, which makes Clement to have been ordained in like manner by Peter. In exactly the same way the other churches likewise exhibit (their several worthies), whom, as having been appointed to their episcopal places by apostles, they regard as transmitters of the apostolic seed.” [6] Like Tertullian, in the 4th century, the historian Eusebius continued to associate the apostle John with Polycarp in his Ecclesiastical History. He replaced the word ‘disciple’ with the word ‘apostle’ in some of his historical records and until this day historians take his word for it.
- Lies that became history. Later in the 5th century, the Roman Catholic priest and theologian Jerome assumed and recorded that the apostles hanged with Polycarp, and the rest is history, “Polycarp, disciple of the apostle John and by him ordained bishop of Smyrna, was chief of all Asia, where he saw and had as teachers some of the apostles and of those who had seen the Lord.” [7] This is false because Polycarp never claimed to know John the Apostle. In the Martyrdom of Polycarp, a manuscript written in the 2nd century, there are no claims of Polycarp ever meeting any apostle. And where does Jerome get that Polycarp had as teachers some of the apostles? And just like that, John the Apostle, became a 150-year-old scholar, a bishop in Asia Minor, an exile in Patmos, the writer of a Gospel, three epistles, and the book that needs to be revealed, because it reveals nothing. And by the way, Yeshua was wrong, because John never died a martyr but of extremely old age!
The Roman Church has always known John the Apostle is not the author of the Gospel, the Johannine Letters, or the Book of Revelation.
- The Gospel of John and the Johannine Letters belong to the same person. The Book of Revelation was written by a different person other than the author of the Gospel. According to scholars this is obviously revealed in author of Revelation whose use of Greek, his vocabulary, his spelling, his grammar, his style, and even his theological perspective differ from the author of the Gospel and the Johannine Letters. The Gospel and Letter writer knew perfect Greek, while the author of the Book of Revelation struggled with it.
- At last, some clarity. It was Dionysius, who in the 3rd century, asserted that the author of the Gospel couldn’t have written the Book of Revelation, “And from the ideas, and from the words and their arrangement, it may be reasonably conjectured that [the John who wrote the Gospel] is different from [the John who wrote Apocalypse]. For the Gospel and Epistle agree with each other and begin in the same manner… He holds to this and does not digress from his subject, but discusses everything under the same heads and names some of which we will briefly mention… But the Apocalypse is different from these writings and foreign to them; not touching, nor in the least bordering upon them; almost, so to speak, without even a syllable in common with them… Moreover, it can also be shown that the diction of the Gospel and Epistle differs from that of the Apocalypse. For they were written not only without error as regards the Greek language, but also with elegance in their expression, in their reasonings, and in their entire structure. They are far indeed from betraying any barbarism or solecism, or any vulgarism whatever. For the writer had, as it seems, both the requisites of discourse — that is, the gift of knowledge and the gift of expression — as the Lord had bestowed them both upon him… his dialect and language are not accurate Greek, but that he uses barbarous idioms, and, in some places, solecisms.” [8]
Who wrote the Book of Revelation, then?
- A false prophet named Cerinthus. Early in Church History, it was clear that the author of the Book of Revelation was no other than an occultist named Cerinthus. Irenaeus described Cerinthus as “a man who was educated in the wisdom of the Egyptians, taught that the world was not made by the primary God, but by a certain Power far separated from him, and at a distance from that Principality who is supreme over the universe, and ignorant of him who is above all.” [9]
- An earthly kingdom is the real Mark of the Beast. Caius, a presbyter of Rome in the 3rd century, wrote, “But Cerinthus, too, through revelations written, as he would have us believe, by a great apostle, brings before us marvellous things, which he pretends were shown him by angels; alleging that after the resurrection the kingdom of Christ is to be on earth, and that the flesh dwelling in Jerusalem is again to be subject to desires and pleasures. And being an enemy to the Scriptures of God, wishing to deceive men, he says that there is to be a space of a thousand years for marriage festivals.” [10]
- More evidence. This was clear because his doctrine was opposed to what Yeshua taught, as Dionysius, Bishop of Alexandria, wrote in the 3rd century, “Some before us have set aside and rejected the book altogether, criticising it chapter by chapter, and pronouncing it without sense or argument, and maintaining that the title is fraudulent. For they say that it is not the work of John, nor is it a revelation, because it is covered thickly and densely by a veil of obscurity. And they affirm that none of the apostles, and none of the saints, nor any one in the Church is its author, but that Cerinthus, who founded the sect which was called after him the Cerinthian, desiring reputable authority for his fiction, prefixed the name. For the doctrine which he taught was this: that the kingdom of Christ will be an earthly one. And as he was himself devoted to the pleasures of the body and altogether sensual in his nature, he dreamed that that kingdom would consist in those things which he desired, namely, in the delights of the belly and of sexual passion; that is to say, in eating and drinking and marrying, and in festivals and sacrifices and the slaying of victims, under the guise of which he thought he could indulge his appetites with a better grace.” [11]
- An Egyptian well versed in mystery religions. As we will hear later from the mouth of well-known occultists. In the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1908, under the entry Cerinthus, we find the following, “A Gnostic-Ebionite heretic, contemporary with St. John; against whose errors on the divinity of Christ the Apostle is said to have written the Fourth Gospel. We possess no information concerning this early sectary which reaches back to his own times. The first mention of his name and description of his doctrines occur in St. Irenaeus (Adv. Haer., I, c. xxvi; III, c. iii, c. xi), written about 170. Further information is gathered from Presbyter Caius (c. 210) as quoted by Eusebius (Church History III.28.2). Hippolytus, in “Philosophoumena”, VII, 33 (c. 230), practically transcribes Irenaeus. Cerinthus is referred to by Pseudo-Tertullian in “Adv. Omnes Haeres”, written about 240. A fragment of Dionysius of Alexandria, taken from “De Promissionibus”, written about 250, is given by Eusebius after his quotation from Caius. The most detailed account is given by St. Epiphanius (Adv. Haeres”, xxviii, written about 390), which, however, on account of its date and character must be used with some caution. A good summary is given by Theodoret (“Haer. Fab.”, II, 3, written about 450). Cerinthus was an Egyptian, and if not by race a Jew, at least he was circumcised. The exact date of his birth and his death are unknown. In Asia he founded a school and gathered disciples. No writings of any kind have come down to us. Cerinthus’s doctrines were a strange mixture of Gnosticism, Judaism, Chiliasm, and Ebionitism. He admitted one Supreme Being; but the world was produced by a distinct and far inferior power. He does not identify this Creator or Demiurgos with the Jehovah of the Old Testament. Not Jehovah but the angels have both made the world and given the law. These creator-angels were ignorant of the existence of the Supreme God. The Jewish law was most sacred, and salvation to be obtained by obedience to its precepts. Cerinthus distinguished between Jesus and Christ. Jesus was mere man, though eminent in holiness. He suffered and died and was raised from the dead, or, as some say Cerinthus taught, He will be raised from the dead at the Last Day and all men will rise with Him. At the moment of baptism, Christ or the Holy Ghost was sent by the Highest God, and dwelt in Jesus teaching Him, what not even the angels knew, the Unknown God. This union between Jesus and Christ continues till the Passion, when Jesus suffers alone and Christ returns to heaven. Cerinthus believed in a happy millennium which would be realized here on earth previous to the resurrection and the spiritual kingdom of God in heaven.” [12]
It is not a coincidence that famous high ranking freemasons and occultists agree that the Book of Revelation was written by a person who knew and understood the Occult.
- Helena Petrovna Blavatsky on Revelation. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky a freemason and occultist and co-founder of Theosophy, inventor of the New Age movement, identified the symbolism in the book of Revelation when she said, “It would be difficult to escape from the well-adduced proofs that the Apocalypse is the production of an initiated kabbalist.” This speaks volumes since it is well known that Blavatsky was a Satanist. In her work, The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky says,
“Satan will now be shown in the teachings of the secret doctrine allegorized as good and sacrifice a god of wisdom under different names. Satan, the serpent of Genesis is the real creator and benefactor. The father of spiritual mankind. For it is he who was the harbinger of light, bright and radiant Lucifer who opened the eyes of the woman created by Jehovah and he who was the first to whisper in her ear “you eat there of you shall be as Elohim knowing good and evil”. He can only be regarded in light of a savior. Lucifer is divine and terrestrial light, the holy ghost and Satan at one at the same time and it now stands proven that Satan is in us. He is our mind, our tempter, our redeemer, our intelligent liberator, and savior from pure animalism.” [13]
- Manly P. Hall on Revelation. Occultist and 33° freemason Manly P. Hall, said of the Book of Revelation, “Subjected to more criticism than any other book now incorporated in the New Testament, the Apocalypse--popularly accredited to St. John the Divine--is by far the most important but least understood of the Gnostic Christian writings. Though Justin Martyr declared the Book of Revelation to have been written by "John, one of Christ's apostles," its authorship was disputed as early as the second century after Christ. In the third century these contentions became acute and even Dionysius of Alexandria and Eusebius attacked the Johannine theory, declaring that both the Book of Revelation and the Gospel according to St. John were written by one Cerinthus, who borrowed the name of the great apostle the better to foist his own doctrines upon the Christians.” …. “The intrinsic value of the book lies in its magnificent epitome of the Universal Mystery--an observation which led St. Jerome to declare that it is susceptible of seven entirely different interpretations. Untrained in the reaches of ancient thought, the modern theologian cannot possibly cope with the complexities of the Apocalypse, for to him this mystic writing is but a phantasmagoria the divine inspiration of which he is sorely tempted to question.” [14]
- Albert Pike on Revelation. A 33rd degree Mason, Pike was one of the founders of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, a top leader of the Ku Klux Klan and above all, a satanist. This is what Albert Pike said about the book of Revelation in his work Morals and Dogma, “The Kabalistic book of the Apocalypse is represented as closed with Seven Seals. In it we find the Seven genii of the Ancient Mythologies; and the doctrine concealed under its emblems is the pure Kabala, already lost by the Pharisees at the advent of the Saviour… Among the sacred books of the Christians are two works which the infallible church does not pretend to understand, and never attempts to explain,—the prophecy of Ezekiel and the Apocalypse; two cabalistic clavicules, reserved, no doubt, in Heaven, for the exposition of the Magian kings; closed with Seven seals for all faithful believers; and perfectly clear to the unbeliever initiated in the occult sciences.” Pike also includes the book of Ezekiel and he is right, for Ezekiel is one of the works that inspired the book of Revelation, but that deserves a different discussion on its own. [15]
- Albert Pike on how John the Diviner attained his vision, and also sustains that the god of the Occultist is no other than Lucifer, “The Apocalypse, that sublime Kabalistic and prophetic Summary of all the occult figures, divides its images into three Septenaries, after each of which there is silence in Heaven. There are Seven Seals to be opened, that is to say, Seven mysteries to know, and Seven difficulties to overcome, Seven trumpets to sound, and Seven cups to empty. The Apocalypse is, to those who receive the nineteenth Degree, the Apotheosis of that Sublime Faith which aspires to God alone, and despises all the pomps and works of Lucifer. LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not! for traditions are full of Divine Revelations and Inspirations: and Inspiration is not of one Age nor of one Creed. Plato and Philo, also, were inspired. The Apocalypse, indeed, is a book as obscure as the Sohar. It is written hieroglyphically with numbers and images; and the Apostle often appeals to the intelligence of the Initiated. "Let him who hath knowledge, understand! let him who understands, calculate!" he often says, after an allegory or the mention of a number. Saint John, the favorite Apostle, and the Depositary of all the Secrets of the Saviour, therefore did not write to be understood by the multitude. The Sephar Yezirah, the Sohar, and the Apocalypse are the completest embodiments of Occultism. They contain more meanings than words; their expressions are figurative as poetry and exact as numbers. The Apocalypse sums up, completes, and surpasses all the Science of Abraham and of Solomon.” [16]
- John, patron saint of freemasonry?! John the Evangelist, more exactly John of Patmos, is a patron saint of Freemasonry. That's because the Book of Revelation delineates the work of occult secret societies. Notice how Freemasonry is not interested in the Gospel of John or any of his letters. Freemasonry is not interested in what Yeshua has to say, it is the Book of Revelation that they claim to be theirs.
- One of their own. In other words, no one truly understands the Book of Revelation except the occultist. He recognizes its symbology, its language, its meaning. The book is familiar to him because that's how the occultist communicates with his god, Lucifer. The Book of Revelation is in its essence Luciferian. The occultist recognizes the voice of his master, and attempts to fulfill his directives.
The most damaging evidence that demonstrates that the Book of Revelation was inspired by Satan.
- An unbiblical terrifying tale. The Book of Revelation is one of the most horrifying tales of all times. A gore feast that misrepresents the loving Father that loved the world so much that He gave His Only Son. This are some of the horrors found in the book of Revelation:
- Seven seals bringing war, famine, plague, and death. The martyrs crying out for vengeance. A cosmic earthquake, with the sun and moon losing their light.
- Seven trumpets causing destruction to vegetation, oceans, fresh water, and diminishing the light of the sun, moon, and stars. A plague of locusts to torment unbelievers, a demonic army, and the release of another great army.
- Seven bowls causing painful sores on those bearing the mark of the beast. The sea is turned into blood, killing all sea creatures. The rivers and springs are turned into blood. Scorching heat from the sun, with people cursing God. Darkness over the kingdom of the beast. The Euphrates River dries up, allowing the kings of the east to gather for the Battle of Armageddon. An earthquake and a hail and fire storm.
Is this in any way compatible with the Word of God in the Old Testament? Did God do anything that resembles this carnage of endless torture to humans? Or is it Satan who feels pleasure at these kinds of torments? The answer lies in Yeshua’s own words regarding the One and Only Judgment, “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn… He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” Matt. 13
If both Jesus’ are the same person, why do they teach opposite doctrines? There was honestly no need to complicate Yeshua’s version of the end of the world by adding a horror play inside the Bible, full of confusion and hidden meanings! According to Yeshua, there are only two places reserved for humans after death. Heaven is the only Kingdom Yeshua promised to His followers. He said the righteous will ascend into heaven, not that He will descend to earth, again, unless it is to judge the living and the dead. Hell is indeed a place of torment, but God gives us the choice between Heaven and Hell. If most will end up in hell it’s not because God hated them, but because they hated God.
No one will have any excuse on the Day of Judgement, “But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” Luke 16:19-31
If they hear not Yeshua, neither will they be persuaded, though He rose from the dead.
- Chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation is the most absurd chapter in the whole Roman Bible. So absurd that no Roman Catholic has ever been able to explain it and they were the ones who put this book in the Bible! This chapter is so incredible that one has to question his own sanity to be able to believe it!
To sum it up:
- Everybody is dead after the carnage God inflicted upon humankind.
- An angel chains Satan for a 1000 years.
- Only the saints resurrect to live and reign with Christ for 1000 years. Everyone becomes a priest.
- And after the thousand years, SATAN COMES BACK AND DECEIVES THE SAINTS THAT LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST?!
- Then God destroys everyone with fire and sends them to hell.
- EVERYONE, LITERALLY EVERYONE, GOES TO HELL!
The same people that didn’t get fooled when Christ was not with them, get fooled by Satan, while living and reigning with Christ?! Why does no one have a problem with this?! It’s really beyond our comprehension.
Millennial Kingdom Doctrine: UNBIBLICAL
Yeshua taught the Kingdom of Heaven only, “My kingdom is not of this world.” John 20:36 “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21
Yeshua rejected the earthly kingdom the Jews falsely expected, and taught a heavenly kingdom only. He explicitly stated that His kingdom was not of this world. He opposed the idea of a military or political kingdom and instead focused on spiritual transformation and inner righteousness. “Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.” John 6:14-15
Two Resurrections Doctrine: UNBIBLICAL
Has anybody been able to prove this doctrine exists outside Revelation?! We don't think so.
First and Second Judgment Doctrine: UNBIBLICAL
Yeshua taught a One and Final Judgement only, “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world… Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels… And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matt. 25:30-46
A New Jerusalem Coming Down from Heaven: UNBIBLICAL
Yeshua taught the righteous are going up, He is not coming down to reign, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:2-3
At this very moment, the Book of Revelation is being used by Christian pastors to create confusion in the minds of their laity, by Christians to entertain their dreams of a worldly kingdom, by the occultists to push demonic agendas, and by satanists, who to unite humanity into a One World Government, want to give the illusion that Revelation is finally being fulfilled. Satan’s mission is accomplished and all because neither Jews or Christians are interested in the Kingdom Yeshua came to offer. We pray God sets you free from this demonic trap and that you seek the Kingdom of Heaven only.
