Book Revelation §1-22, Survey: Two thousand Years of Revivals
[▲ The heading has been corrected]
Shalom,
^ Already two thousand years ago God foretold everything in the book of Revelation, and what you could have read of history in regard to it. It is in accordance with His unchangeable, perfect way of working (cf. 5a§6(8)10 or 9j§89₁156, Eccl. 3:14-15).
Prayer of them who are preparing to meet their Groom (Rev. 19:7-9),

¤ By reading, hearing, and obeying what is written in the Book of Revelation, you can become blessed (1a§1-3, Rev. 1:3).
The key word is revival. Living in continuous revival has been God's life instruction for the believers, according to God's plan for seven church ages (1b§1-3).
¤ But during the revival of our last Laodicean church age there is no reason to be proud. Fortunately, in the mental pit of this revival God's glorious emergency plan can be noticed. Everyone is invited to meet the Lord Jesus Christ personally here on earth. It is an incredible promise (1c§1-3, Rev. 3:20).
How is this possible? This required God's prophet. His coming at the end of the church ages was promised to us believers (cf. 1d§1-3).
¤
¤ In the circles of active believers, it has generally been taught that the middle part of the Book of Revelation, the chapters 4-18, deal with the events of the greater tribulation time, which only then will be understood. Why? Why should they not open themselves to true believers? Why is most of this Book accessible only to those who have not prepared for the rapture?
It has also been taught that the ten kings spoken of in Revelation would be the EU. But no in-depth examination of the Bible is needed to understand today that they represent the raw reality of current communism and dictatorships (cf. 9k, 9l§89₁156 and 10a§18, Rev. 17:16).
¤ At the end, the believers divide into two main groups. Believers who live according to God's predicted plans. And believers who do not live in harmony with God's entire Word, even though they may have a great anointing (5a and 5b§6(8)10).
A prophet was promised the understanding of the secrets of the seals and of everything. He would meet the Lord Jesus Christ as John the Baptist had met Him in his day {5c§6(8)10; 5d§6(8)10 (John 1:33-34)}.
¤
¤ Understanding the secrets of the trumpets in heaven is meant for the Jewish people (8a§89₁156).
The judgments of the trumpets have already partially prepared the Israelites and the Jews to be in the right place. In Israel, where they will meet their (and our) Messiah (8b§89₁156).
¤ However, the premature revelation of the secrets of the trumpets could and should wake up also us, believers. At that day 2021.6.6 I wrote that it meant, that the moment of the rapture has come extremely near (cf. 8c§89₁156).
It would be the last moment to get ready to be taken from the earth. Here only sorrow remains (Rev. 19).
¤
¤ For ten years now I have had to talk about the last year of Jesus' coming in the air (1c§1-3).
Even more excited I was when 2021.8.7 the contents of the SEVENTH SEAL had emerged impressively. Jesus Christ had appeared in a very concrete way, whereas finding Him is the core challenge for the end-time believers. It should set on fire and move every one of us. There He is. Something would have happened (6m§6(8)10)!
¤
¤ The coming rapture, when the Presence of the Lord Jesus in the air occurs, would take place on Easter 2022. In December 2021, I had felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to proclaim this to many (see 12b§1-22).
Did the secret presence of the Lord Jesus occur at Easter the following year? The Jewish and the Christian Passover/Easter then was on the same time (seven days, 2022.4.15/16 – 4.22/23, and from Friday 2022.4.15 – to Sunday 4.17). That same week, the Finnish version of my explanation had become available online in its entirety and without restrictions. That could be another possible explanation. It was God's intervention at the last moment (see also 12c§1-22).
¤ Just as four thousand years ago, when Abraham had to sacrifice his firstborn son, Isaac, on Mount Moriah. Also then God intervened at the last moment (Gen. 22:2-11).
Two thousand years later, Jesus Christ was crucified in the same place at Easter. This had been the most important purpose of God and His creation. Accordingly, He had referred to it in many ways and many times, beforehand. In the same way, He refers to it nowadays, back (e.g. Zec. 14:20-21).
