| Publisher Description: THE BOOK OF REVELATION BY JOHN ACCORDING TO ITS HISTORICAL FULFILLMENT BY JESUS In 1908, humanity was presented two reinterpretations of John's Book of Revelation, called THE REVEALED TRANSLATION OF JOHN'S REVELATION and THE HISTORICAL FULFILLMENT OF JOHN'S REVELATION, both given us by Jesus. As inspiring as it is be able to use THE REVEALED TRANSLATION to define 212 symbols that John used in THE BOOK OF REVELATION, it is at first disappointing because THE REVEALED TRANSLATION leaves out some critical definitions like the Horsmen of the Apocalypse, who are prophesied to go out and kill lots and lots of humanity all over the earth in one way or another. So it is these symbols which most threaten us with potentially millions of gory deaths as part of the "purification" of our sinful planet "in the latter days"; and this is the common conception of our collective future that has been created in our minds mainly by these graphic scenes of devastation spelled out in John's Revelation. So without further explanation about the true meanings of those critical symbols by the only true expert who has the authority to define them--Jesus--we confused humans have been left scratching our weary heads, hoping these passages don't mean what they seem to mean on their surface--the worst conflagration of the planet in our long, bloody history. But Jesus does not let us down. He follows up his REVEALED TRANSLATION with this much smaller book, in which he actually spells out the fulfillment of John's Revelation in actual historical events from the time of John 2,000 years ago clear up until the publication of this companion book about 1908 and into "the latter days." Because Biblical scholars have been most frustrated in their efforts to tie down the revelations of John to actual historical events, such scholars can now stop guessing as to who those historical persons really are and what those historical events really are because many of them are now spelled out in Jesus' second book on the subject of John's Revelation. This one concentrates on the actual historical fulfillment of his prophesies, hence its name. Most importantly, we find that the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their riders are actually symbols of four different periods of the Roman Empire; so they depict our past, not our future. Therefore, we can now breathe a sign of relief as we discover the rest of the historical fulfillments of John's Revelation. Following that is a series of comments from the book about these historical fulfillments in general, titled: "The Underlying Principles of Jesus' Historical Fulfillment Without Using Symbols." These tell of a glorious future for mankind on our planet, not a bloody conflagration; so our mis-interpretations of John's prophesies are finally being corrected, and we can look forward to the dawing of a new day in a New Age. |
