Intervention of the Son of man
I believe we have reached the point that Revelation
indicates the intervention of the Son of man (Rev
14:14) also the rider called Faithful and True (Rev
19:11).
The time of the “1260 days” (Rev 11:3) has been
measured.
According to my understanding the ‘1260 days’ (Rev
11:3) are measured from the time of the star formation
on 23 September 2017 and came to an end on 6 March
2021. This was the end of the measure of “the altar”.
The angel came out from the altar (Rev 14:18)
We are now in the time that Revelation indicates as the
time that the “angel came out from the altar” (Rev
14:18) because the total time from the coming of the
Christ to the time up to the end of the “1260 days” has
been measured.
The gospel to the wilderness at the ends of the earth
The “1260 days” are only mentioned twice in Revelation:
Rev 11:3 and 12:6. Through this repetition Revelation
confirms that when the altar can be measured it is also
the time that the Christian gospel has spread to the
ends of the earth.
Rev 14:18-20
The angel coming out of the altar, which had power over
fire, says that the clusters of the vine of the earth
must be gathered because her grapes are fully ripe. I
believe that the present war in Europe is the beginning
of the treading of the winepress of the wrath of God
(Rev 14:19-20).
Treads the winepress
Because of the repetition of the words “the winepress
was trodden” (Rev 14:20) and “he treadeth the
winepress” (Rev 19:15), Revelation indicates the same
war. This is a final war that can be in stages of which
we now see the beginning.
Is the fleeing that we are presently seeing in Europe
indicated in Revelation?
The word “fled” is used in Revelation 12:6 to denote
the fleeing of Christians to the wilderness (as took
place during the time of the Reformation in Europe in
the 16th century) to the ends of the earth, right up to
the time of the 1260 days. (Revelation covers centuries
within one verse!)
Rev 12:6 “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where
she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed
her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”
(The word “fled” used in Revelation 16:20 and 20:11,
according to my understanding will happen in the time
to come.)
The abomination of desolation
The abomination of desolation is mentioned in Dan.
12:11, Matthew 24:15 and also referred to in Revelation
17:4 and 5 (“abominations of the earth”).
Matthew 24:14-20 (Jesus Christ speaks of the end time)
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in
all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then
shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to
take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to
take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the sabbath day:
Because Matthew 24:14 says that the gospel has been
preached in all the world for a witness for all
nations, and I believe Revelation is now indicating the
end of the 1260 days, and the beast coming up out of
the sea and the beast coming up out of the earth have
been revealed, these words can apply to the present
fleeing in Europe.
The fleeing from Judaea is yet to come.
Daniel 12:11-13
Blessed is he
11” And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be
taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate
set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and
ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the
thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt
rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.”
As I have shown on this Forum, it is possible that
through the words “Blessed is he” in Revelation 16:15,
(also used in Daniel 12:12) that we are now in the 1335
days mentioned in Daniel and the nations gathering to
Armageddon.
Revelation 16:15-16
15 “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked,
and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in
the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”
Even unto the horse bridles
As I have shown in my books and on this website, the
opening of the first four seals, that reveal the times
of the four riders of the apocalypse have to do with
the ruling of the Christian nations. When Revelation
says in Rev 14:20 “And the winepress was trodden
without (outside) the city, even unto the horse
bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred
furlongs”, Revelation indicates (through the words
“even unto the horse brides”) that the final clashes
between the nations is about God intervening in the
final way (from the rule of kings to the rule of the
weight of the majority (the scale carried by the rider
on the black horse)) that the Christian nations are
ruled.
Count the worshippers there
Rev 11:1 “And there was given me a reed like unto a
rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise and measure the
temple of God and the altar, and them that worship
therein.”
The temple of his body
Revelation connects the time of the measuring of the
temple and the altar to the number of people
worshipping in the “temple”. The “temple” in Revelation
relates to the rise of the Christian Church and the
spread of the Faith to the ends of the earth.
We know this from John 2:19 and 21 “Jesus answered and
said unto them, Destroy this temple and in three days I
will raise it up. But he spake of the temple of his
body.” The Christian Church on earth represents those
who are saved by their faith in the death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ, who died for their sins.
When one measures the “temple” in Revelation it is the
rise and existence of the Christian Church on earth to
the end of the “forty and two months” (Rev 11:2). This
was, according to my understanding, the time up to 27
February 2020. The “forty and two months” was measured
from the Venus-Jupiter conjunction on 27 August 2016.
The “abomination” stands in the holy place.
Therefore, the “abomination” (Satan, the power of evil;
the ‘dragon’ and the ‘beast’ of Revelation) that causes
‘desolation’ stands in the holy place and in the eyes
of God has led to the inhabitants of the earth, to no
longer seek everlasting life and forgiveness of sin.
Revelation reveals that God intervenes (the power of
evil is at its fiercest now, which is the final short
season (Rev 6:11;12:12 and 20:3)) or ultimately no one
will be saved.
Matthew 24:22 “And except those days should be
shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the
elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Jesus may
have been speaking of the “1335 days” (Dan.12:12).
