Book of Revelation, Explained: To everyone who is interested in his/her future
^ The Book of Revelation is the last Book of the Bible, which came directly from God. He had, He has, and He still has much to say (cf. Rev. 1:1, 19).
Two thousand years ago He spoke, how at the end of the church ages the church and the world looks like, and what is soon going to happen. Recognize signs of our time (among others 0c_SumEx)!
^ However, knowledge alone does not save us. Spiritually we only grow when we humble ourselves, as Jesus Christ had to humble Himself. We are not more important than Jesus.
Find a Bible and read about the Life of Jesus every day, possibly. You do not need to read much, but think about what you have read, and pray. God answers people through all kinds of things/people and expressly through His own channel of Salvation, Jesus Christ. The most important thing in the life of a human being is to accept the Lord Jesus as his/her personal Saviour and Leader. Then he/she gets power/right to become a child of God (John 1:12).
^ You must be the small child, what learns (again) to speak with its Heavenly Father. By this attitude, you can be born from above. Study on your knees the Bible, then God will in His time fulfill you with His Holy Spirit. Then you desire to tell all people the gospel (Acts 2:38, and so on).
God is ready to set you free, if you want to be truly free, if you are really sorry for your sins. When you do what you can do, God will do what you cannot do.

^ The explanation is divided in three portions,
A. History of the church, as it had been given and described beforehand:
^ The seven churches in the Book of Revelation have represented seven successive Revival Light ages. They provide an overview with main features and detailed warnings for two thousand years of Christianity (Acts 11:26).
Already then, God knew that before Jesus' Second Coming the Christians would not be ready to meet their Lord and Groom. Throughout the time of the Old Testament God had used one great prophet at a time to warn His people. And for our end-time the ministry of a same kind of prophet had been promised.
^ I believe he has been William Marrion Branham. However, everyone must find the answer through prayer for himself. Maybe you find that he is/was Lars Enarson, or Billy Graham, Baruch Korman, David Wilkerson, …., your pastor, or another spiritual leader, …., a multitude of Elijah prophets, or a future prophet.
But because of the many deceptions in this end-time, find answers that fit God’s predictions for the end-time!

B. The seven seals, and God’s own explanation:
1-7S: Brother Branham did not get the revelations of the seven seals in his study room. He was said to move to another town. And after that, around him and in his home church miraculous things began to happen.
After the revealing of the secrets of the seven seals can be believed, that these revelations had happened in at least two main ways. One way is, what brother Branham had explained directly.
1-7$STB: And indirectly what he had said in the following words
{from the preface of the book: An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages (4.), Introduction (5.)
1. https://table.branham.org/#/en/main 2. ‘Bookmark’ 3. ‘III,IV,V’}):
“…., for out of the (Church) Ages come the Seals, and out of the Seals come the Trumpets, and out of the Trumpets come the Vials [Bowls]. [One creates light for the other.]”
In this way every seal belongs to one church age. Thus, the seventh and last seal is important for believers living today to recognize the spiritual battle around them and to find appropriate spiritual weapons.

C. Judgments, the final judgment, and eternity:
^ In our end-time, the ready Christians are raptured. Each of them voluntarily persevered “great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, and never shall be” (“Mat. 24:21”; Rev. 7:14; Rev. 20:4).
After that, a tribulation period begins for all nations, which I have called the greater tribulation time, because it now applies to all mankind. “There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time” (“Dan. 12:1”).
During the last time period, the Gospel and Its proclamation returns to 144,000 Israelites. And at the end of it, by accepting the Lord Jesus as their personal Saviour, all the Jews of Israel will be set free from the power and bondage and defilement of sin.
^ From our beginning, every Christian has been severely warned about a system that would be very beautiful on the outside but very polluted on the inside, Rev. 18:4, <“Come out of her [the organized Church system], My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues. ….”>
Soon it will be destroyed (10a§18).
^ Then, the Lord Jesus Christ will come together with His raptured Bride believers to rule the world during the last Sabbath day of thousand years. (According to the Jewish Biblical calendar, now about 6000 years have passed.) After seven thousand years, after one week, is the Final Judgment {2Pet. 3:8 (7e§67₁14); 11a§19-22}.
Next, the holy city, the New Jerusalem, will come down from heaven, where God will dwell surrounded by His loved ones (11b§19-22).
