Revelation Explained by KJ Soze

View Details

This audio study outlines the history and progression of the city-state system. Mystery Babylon the Great is a symbol in the book of Revelation that describes the influence of the spiritual realm over nations of the past. It also reveals what the future holds. Do we think empires, kingdoms, or city-states get weaker as time goes on, or is it the same system in operation with new clothes?

Mystery Babylon the Great is one of the most important elements of the book of Revelation. It closes the loop between the devil, working through his beast system with the anti-christ, and the nations of the earth.

There have been many iterations of the evil spiritual kingdom that have interacted closely with human rulers. This relationship will amplify towards the end of this age as shown through symbology in the book of Revelation. Here, Babylon is described figuratively to mean all evil earthly kingdoms.

Pre-Trib Rapture vs. Post-Trib Rapture

This audio examines the Rapture in relation to the Great Tribulation Period, the Day of the Lord and other events. Over 3 dozen passages will be compared so we have a complete understanding of the culmination of this age.

We will answer many questions about the Rapture -

What is the Rapture?

The Rapture is the transformation of our bodies to be like Christ’s resurrected body.

What Does Rapture Mean?

Those who are alive at His coming will be “caught up.” Rapture simply means to snatch (or save) from destruction coming upon the earth.

There is another example of snatching found in Jude 1:22-23 using the same root word as the Rapture of 1 Thessalonians 4:17. To be snatched means saved from wrath in this context, so Paul and Jude utilized the same meaning. Believers are saved from destruction.

No Person Can Know “The Day and the Hour”?

Matthew 24:36 states that no person can know “the day and the hour” of the beginning of the end-times.

Instead of looking up the source of “the day and the hour” from a Hebrew perspective, some people just assume this to mean that Christ could come back at any moment. It seems necessary to have the element of complete surprise. We will see if this is really true.

What Does “Thief in the Night” Mean?

A related topic to the “day and the hour” is the Thief in the Night. Both terms are foundational to a pre-trib Rapture in relation to a surprise return of Christ. The takeaway of the Thief in the Night is to be prepared. There will be no surprise for believers.

When is the Rapture?

Timing is everything. Instead of looking at more difficult passages, let’s look at the clearest passage about timing. “Martha said to him, ‘I know that he will rise again in the Resurrection on the last day.’” — John 11:24

What Does “Meet the Lord in the Air” Mean?

1 Thessalonians 4:17 - Paul does not specify whether we will go to some celestial realm or back to earth to be with Christ in this passage, but there are some other important details here that we can compare with other passages.

The Greek root translated “to meet” fits our normal English usage of the phrase. To meet someone at the door is to welcome them into a building. To meet someone for dinner may involve going to a restaurant that is halfway between the parties involved.

So is Christ coming to meet us halfway on our trip from earth to Heaven? Or are the living believers rising to meet Christ on his way from Heaven to earth? In related “meeting” passages using the same Greek root word (Matthew 25:6 and Acts 28:15), there is a return to the starting point after the meeting. And in the 1 Thessalonians 4:17 passage, the point of reference is Paul’s position, not Christ’s position.

Other important topics in include -

All Eyes Will See Christ’s Return
Uses of related “optic” and “epiphany” root words convey physical eyes involved to see Him when He arrives. Passages such as Matthew 24:30, Luke 17:24 and Luke 17:30 convey a physical appearance of Christ. All end-time events revolve around a physical Advent and Resurrection that everyone will see.

This Generation Will Not Pass
What does “generation” mean in context? Matthew 24:34 states that this “generation” will not pass until statements (prophecies) made by Christ in Matthew 24 are realized. If we use Matthew to interpret Matthew, we notice that the word “generation” appears several times.

Matthew 23:36 is a good example: “Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.”

The verses directly preceding Matthew 23:36 speak to fathers and sons over a very long time period, not just the people listening to Christ at that moment. In this instance, “generation” refers to the people of Israel. They will be alive to see the final events of this age come to a close.

As in the Days of Noah
The Days of Noah is another good analogy of timing before the wrath of God is poured out again upon the earth, since both Peter and Christ use the flood to explain their point.

We will now identify Daniel’s and Revelation's "little horn" as the person of the anti-christ in this latest audio only version of the Revelation Explained videos. The anti-christ comes out of the beast that we learned about in the previous audio - “What is the Beast of Revelation?” This beast is the satanic kingdom at the end of our age. It is a spiritual kingdom not of this earth, whereas the anti-christ is a man empowered by the devil that will expand the beast’s reign of evil in the last days.

Who, or what, is the beast of Revelation? We cannot know the Mark of the Beast or any other details until we trace the history of kingdoms, both spiritual and earthly.

The symbols of Revelation 13 and Revelation 17 give us enough information to compare with other passages like Daniel so we can find the true meaning of the beast.

We will find that the end-time beast can be considered as the devil's spiritual kingdom, or the driving force behind religio-political systems on earth.

Spoiler - Post-Trib is the winner. See why.

Thirty-six (36) different Second Advent passages will be examined with a focus on aligning repeated themes and elements to obtain the prize that awaits completion of this study.

What Does “Meet the Lord in the Air” Mean?

Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

— 1 Thessalonians 4:17

Paul does not specify whether we will go to some celestial realm or back to earth to be with Christ in this passage, but there are some other important details here that we can compare with other passages.

We will now identify Daniel’s and Revelation's "little horn" as the person of the anti-christ in this latest episode of the Revelation Explained series. The anti-christ comes out of the beast that we learned about in the previous episode - “What is the Beast of Revelation?” This beast is the satanic kingdom at the end of our age. It is a spiritual kingdom not of this earth, whereas the anti-christ is a man that will help expand the devil’s reign of evil in the last days.

Descriptions of the anti-christ from Daniel Chapter 7 and Revelation Chapter 13 parallel each other with these same identifiers –

He comes out of the great beast with 10 horns

He speaks complete blasphemy against God

He is allowed authority to war over the saints in the tribulation period

He is destroyed at the 2nd coming of Christ (Revelation 17:14)

Daniel 7 provides us with many details about the anti-christ that Christ does not repeat in Matthew 24. This is because Christ implies we are to read and understand Daniel. Verse 11 of Daniel 7 states -I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn [anti-christ] was speaking. Andas I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire...

The timing of the anti-christ is during the last days of this age. It is at the time of humanity’s last traditional government being abolished when the Prostitute system is destroyed (Revelation17:16). The anti-christ rises during this period to fully establish the devil’s governmental and religious system. The anti-christ is granted authority and allowed to conquer the saints for a short time (Revelation 13:7). This is the Great Tribulation Period.

Daniel 7:21-22 - As I looked, this horn [anti-christ] made war with the saints and prevailed over them, until the Ancient of Days came [the 2nd advent], and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.

The events of Revelation 12:7-12 depict when the devil is granted to reveal his power publicly as the anti-christ. These passages are at the same time – Daniel 7:25~ Daniel 12:1 ~ Revelation 3:10~ Revelation 13:7

The rise and continuation of the city-state system.

Mystery Babylon is one of the most important elements of the book of Revelation. It closes the loop between the devil, working through his beast system with the anti-christ, and the nations of the earth.

There have been many iterations of the evil spiritual kingdom that have interacted closely with human rulers. The relationship will amplify towards the end of this age as shown through symbology in the Book of Revelation.

Bible commentators have thought that Mystery Babylon is Rome, Jerusalem, or a restoration of ancient Babylon. Many interpretations have been derived from a vague passage by an angel describing the Prostitute in Revelation 17 verse 18 – the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth

The angel does not provide a complete answer in this short verse, so we need to know what the biblical definition of “city” is. Is there a literal city with powerful people working behind the scenes to control rulers over the earth, or is the city symbolic? We will focus our attention on the symbolic.
