Alpha Omega

Chapters fourteen, fifteen and sixteen overlap and describe events that took place before the Beatles became popular, during their reign and after they broke up their music group. All of chapter fifteen and the first part of chapter sixteen describe events that take place while the angel of chapter fourteen, verses six and seven proclaims the eternal gospel.

Then the angel of chapter fourteen, verse eight proclaims the destruction of Babylon while the seventh vial is poured in verse seventeen of chapter sixteen. Then the remainder of chapter sixteen unfolds as Babylon is destroyed.

One should note that these three chapters make no mention of the previously mentioned events of the 1960s and 1970s because they are describing different events of these time periods.

Chapter fourteen opens as St. John again sees all the saints of heaven who have perfected their love of God and man. These include all those saints from all faiths, creeds and religions who have already perfected their love, died and gone to heaven as well as all those saints who will perfect their love of God and man in the future. Thus, they are all with Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

This is the symbolism of their standing on Mount Zion (v.1). They continually have the will of God on their minds and they are always asking our Lord for help in their daily chores. Thus, the name of God is written in their memory or forehead (v.1).

One should note that the 144,000 figure mentioned is only a symbolic number of souls. The figure is not meant to be an actual count, as there have been more than 144,000 children of God who have perfected their love of God and man.

They are virgins who are not defiled with women (v.4) meaning that they have washed their souls of all sin and are not defiled with lies and injustices committed against their neighbor (v.5).

Together they sing a new song (v.3). Their collective voices sound as the noise of many waters and great thunder (v.2). That is to say, the new song makes the whole world sing in unison. It is a beautiful song that proclaims their love of God, which is why it is heard as the voice of a harper (v.2).

The reason that only the 144,000 can sing this song is because they are the ones who daily offer up their all works to God. They can “see” and “hear” God in their everyday lives.

Those who have not perfected their love do not do this and do not have the strength and courage it takes to reach this height of perfection and understanding. They have not washed their souls of all selfishness and materialism and they cannot see God in their everyday lives, guiding them to Himself. Thus, they cannot learn this new “song of love” that comes from the storeroom of His mysteries (Cant.1:3).

In verses six and seven the eternal gospel is proclaimed on the Internet and over the radio and television air ways. Hence, an angel flies through the midst of heaven and proclaims it to all those on earth.

The eternal gospel is that all men must someday face their own day and hour of judgement and then rise again. The children of God will rise to meet life, but Satan’s children will disentomb to meet death. It is through an evil person’s own thoughts that God judges him or her. However, with the coming of the great antichrist and his acceptance by all mankind the hour of judgement has arrived. Thus, the angel of verse seven proclaims that His judgement has come.

One should note that Judgement Day approaches in the same manner as does the end of time. The end of time had its predawn with the coming of the Renaissance. Then its beginning came with the killing of John and Robert Kennedy and the blowing of the seventh trumpet. Its climax comes with the destruction of Babylon in a Nuclear War.

A similar thing may be said of Judgement Day. It had its predawn with the coming of the great antichrist. It begins with the pouring of the seventh vial (Rev.16:17). Its climax comes at the Second Coming. Each event has its own predawn, its own beginning and its own climax. Only God knows when each event will occur or has occurred.

After the angel is finished proclaiming the eternal gospel to all mankind the seventh vial of wrath is poured and Babylon is destroyed in a Nuclear War. Hence, a second angel proclaims that Babylon is fallen (v.8). A third angel (v.9) proclaims that all those individuals with mortal sin upon their souls will be thrown into the everlasting second death (v.10-11).

The patients of the saints (v.12) are manifested by those souls who overcome the deceptions of the evil one by just refusing to sin. The Holy Spirit proclaims in verse thirteen that all those who repent of their sins after Babylon is destroyed will die a martyr’s death. Thus, their works follow them.

At this point in time — this is a future date after the Nuclear War — the earth will be filled with the henchmen of Satan. This is because all the children of God will either die in the war itself or in the first weeks after it is over. Thus, if anyone should repent of their sins and begin to follow God and His laws, he or she will be murdered by the henchmen of the devil. Their hate for God will ensure this.

Next our Lord comes sitting upon a cloud (v.14) with the law of God in His hand. The crown on His head is symbolic for His kingship over the souls of all mankind. Another angel, with a command from the Father, reminds Jesus Christ that it is time to reap the world (v.15). Our Lord does so and gathers all the souls of the children of God to Himself (v.16).

Once this is finished, another angel comes out of the temple of heaven (v.17). He has perfected the law of love. Hence, he has a sharp sickle. Then the Blessed Mother, who has been given control over the gates of hell (She has power over Satan) comes out from God’s alter (v.18) and commands the second angel to gather the “clusters of the vineyard” and throw them into the press of the wrath of God (v.18). Verse nineteen describes this second angel obeying the command of Mother Mary.

The press was “trodden without the city” (v.20) meaning that it will be done outside the gates of heaven. The amount of blood mentioned in the last verse is symbolic. It manifests that many souls will be thrown into the press of the wrath of God.

The reason why St. John continues his narration of more wrath coming upon a disobedient mankind is because, as mentioned, chapters fifteen and sixteen describe the events that take place while the angels of verses six, seven and eight proclaim their messages to the whole world.

As noted earlier, God allows these chastisements to come upon mankind. He does not cause them. Man’s inhumanity to man is the cause of all the evil of this world. If everyone obeyed the Golden Rule (Mt.7:12) then peace would eventually rule the world (Bar.3:13).

Chapters seventeen and eighteen describe Babylon and its destruction in the terrible Nuclear War. The remaining chapters of St. John’s revelation describe Judgement Day and the saints glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ in the new earth.

Chapter fifteen is a preparation for the pouring of the seven vials of wrath of God (v.1). St. John sees all those who overcame the beast by seeking perfection in their love of God and man (v.2). Hence, they are standing on a sea of glass, which manifests the cleanliness of their souls. It is mingled with the fire of the Holy Spirit for God has washed them of their sins. These children of God are the 144,000 saints who have perfected their love of God and man.

In verses three and four the children of God sing a song of praise to God. This is figured in their canticle of Moses (v.3). This song of Moses is a new song that only the 144,000 saints of God can “sing and hear” because it comes from the mystery of God.

This canticle is almost any song that one can hear playing on the radio today. The reason that only those who have perfected their love of God can “sing” and “hear” the song is because they are the only children of God who offer up such songs as prayers to our Lord. Other people can hear these same songs but do not offer them up as a prayer. Hence, they cannot hear the word of God coming down in three part harmony in today’s music.

For example, if one were to take almost any song and imagine that it is our Lord singing to His bride or that His bride is singing that same song to Him, then one could then “hear” the word of God in such songs.

You Saw Me Crying In The Chapel and Are You Lonesome Tonight by Elvis Presley are two good examples. A sampling of other songs in which one can “hear” our Lord singing would be: Words by the Bee Gees, Lyin’ Eyes by the Eagles, The Rose by Bette Midler, Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, Only You by the Platters,Way You Love Me by Faith Hill, You Light Up My Life by Debbie Boone, Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin, Dedicated To The One I Love by the Mamas & Papas, Your Cheating Heart by Hank Williams, Everything I Own by Bread, Light My Fire by the Doors, Get Together by the Youngbloods, We’ve Only Just Begun by the Carpenters, Get Closer by Seals & Crofts, Forever and Always by Shania Twain, Every Breath You Take by the Police, My Sweet Lady by John Denver, Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Bonnie Tyler, One of Us by Joan Osborne, You’ve Got A Friend by Carol King and James Taylor and A Whole New World, the theme from the movie Aladdin. These are just a few more examples of how one can “hear” our Lord communicating with His children in their everyday lives.

Finally, the 1992 movie Sister Act, starring Whoopi Goldberg, manifest clearly how one can take almost any song and offer it up to our Lord as a prayer of praise and love to God. One can thus learn the will of God through the Sound of Music (Is.55:12) and light an Eternal Flame in one’s Heart.

However, one must use humility when listening to these songs. They are songs of love and peace which one can use to “hear” the word of God. They are just songs and that is all. One must pretend that it is God who is singing the song to one or that one is singing the song to our Lord.

This does not mean to insinuate that God puts subtle messages in today’s music. He does not have to resort to such tactics. This just manifests how everything in this world honors its Lord and Creator.

One can “hear” and “see” God communicating with His children in numerous other ways: in billboard adds, in commercials and advertisements, in the news media, in movies, in television programs and many similar sources. One can “hear” and “see” our Lord communicating with all mankind through all their everyday surroundings.

One need only pretend that it is our Lord who is communicating with one in order to “hear” and to “see” the word of God guiding one down the long and winding road to Jesus Christ.

However, one must exercise caution. As the above songs clearly manifest, these “messages” from our Lord are all communiques of love and humility, peace and tranquility, truth and justice. There are no great revelations or mysteries found in any of them. There are no subtle messages or esoteric wisdom found in any of them. Nor are they aimed at subverting an individual to violate the law in any way. They are all songs of peace and love that inspire one to go to God in humility.

Verse five proclaims the dawn of Judgement Day as the secrets of heaven are revealed and the seven angels step out of the temple of the tabernacle (v.6). They each receive from one of the evangelists a vial of the wrath of God (v.7). Then while these angels wait for their command from our Lord to pour out their vials of wrath, the temple of our Lord fills with smoke from the majesty of God.

This event happened during Vatican II and the years immediately following it. This manifests our Lord’s absolute authority over everything. He will not allow anyone to be able to understand the meaning of St. John’s apocalyptic revelation until such time that He should reveal it. Thus, no man was able to enter the temple (v.8).

One should note that six of the seven vials are very similar to six of the seven trumpets. For example, the second trumpet and the second vial are both against the sea or marine waters of the earth. The third trumpet and third vial are both against the fresh drinking water. The same similarities are true for the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh trumpets and vials. With each there is a similar event.

There is reason for this and it will be pointed out as each vial is poured and the event described. There are no similarities between the first trumpet and the first vial except that both mark the beginning of the wrath of God to come upon mankind.

One should also note that many individuals have claimed to be able to interpret St. John’s book of Revelation. Almost everyone of them has claimed to interpret this revelation by pointing out some future, military, dictator antichrist. But none of them noticed the similarities between the vials and trumpets. This offers further proof that their interpretations of St. John’s book are incorrect and that the word of God they teach is a false peace.

Chapter sixteen begins as the Holy Spirit commands the vials of wrath to be poured out upon mankind (v.1). One should not forget that these vials are poured out while the angel of chapter fourteen proclaims the eternal gospel (Rev.14:6-7). The first vial is poured (v.2) and all those with unrepented mortal sin upon their soul receive a mark upon their soul. Thus, it is a sore and grievous wound. One must emphasize without repenting because many individuals receive this mark. However, such is removed from one's soul by asking our Lord for pardon.

The second vial is poured out upon the sea (v.3). The entire sea is now polluted. This is seen in the fact that it is only at this time that the majority of mankind have opened their eyes to the problems of the polluted and exploited oceans and seas.

Although many people are still unwilling to admit that the earth is polluted and exploited, this does not alter the fact that until recently there were very few groups or agencies whose goal is to help protect the environment. Hence, the pollution of the entire sea is manifested in the great number of people who have finally recognized the great environmental problems of mankind.

The third vial is poured out upon the earth’s fresh water (v.4). Here too, man is just beginning to notice the damage that has been done to the fresh drinking water. Thus, the rivers and the fountains turn to bloody or polluted water.

It is man who has polluted and exploited the earth through uncontrolled industrialization. But our Lord is just in allowing man’s evil to control him, preventing him from perceiving the damage that has been done. This is because man has not listened to the many prophets and saints that our Lord has sent in order to bring mankind to repentance and back to God. Instead, man has brutally and unmercifully murdered these chosen children of God.

God controls mankind the same way a master chess player controls the chess board when playing against an amateur.

One should note that many children of God have noticed the pollution and exploitation problems and all the other environmental problems from the very beginning. But no body listened to their cries for help and ecological conservation and the pollution and exploitation of nature continued unabated.

The fourth vial is poured upon the sun (v.8). This symbolizes the heavily polluted air. As with the other vials, this is seen in the fact that it was not until recently that the majority of mankind began to open their eyes to the great environmental problems that are caused by man’s pollution and exploitation of the earth. The affliction to men with heat and fire (v.9) manifests the effect global warming, air pollution, ozone depletion and acid rain has on the climate.

One should note that all the present environmental controls man is employing are negligible. These controls are too little, too late. Man is polluting faster than the environment is being cleaned up, and man is exploiting faster than the resources are being replenished. Even those items that are being recycled are only a token of what is being used. Almost nothing else is being recycled.

Besides, all man’s efforts to clean up and save the environment and all the environmental controls man is employing are aimed at creating peace in this world without God. This is the evil one’s false peace and it offers nothing for peace in the world to come. It offers only an empty promise and Satan’s empty peace.

The angel with the fifth vial differs slightly from the angel with the fifth trumpet in that the trumpet is sounded against the devil’s kingdom and the vial is poured on the antichrist kingdom. This is why the vial was poured on the seat of the beast (v.10).

The fifth angel poured out his vial upon the Beatles. This happened just before or at the time they broke up and dissolved their music group. This breakup caused them to lose their influence in the music kingdom. Hence, they gnawed their tongues for pain (v.10) and they cursed our Lord and blamed Him for their problems (v.11).

Verse ten also proclaims that their kingdom became dark. This is seen in the lack of a single, outstanding leader in the music kingdom today. Although there are still many popular musicians and groups throughout the world, none of these holds the “center stage,” so to speak, as did the Beatles when they were together.

Thus, there was the election and the rise of John F. Kennedy, followed by his assassination and his rise as an American hero. This was followed by the rise of the Beatles and the Beatlemania of the 1960s and then the breakup of their group. Then came the rise of Jesus Christ Superstar and the Jesusmania of the 1970s.

Although many people claimed that this Rock Opera was a blasphemy, the depravity was theirs. These pseudo-Christians do not understand the power of God. They tried to abort His mission, but they failed. They did not see that by leaps every minute He is top of the poll; He is all that is talked about, the wonder of the year. Our Lord inspired many souls back to faith in Him with this opera.

However, in order to manifest to them the power of Jesus Christ, even our Lord’s servant has a song “produced” for him by God. A song that “made the whole world sing” in 1968: Hey Jude. But he did not realize this until after March 11, 1971, after the advent of Jesus Christ Superstar. These songs helped to soothe the fire in his head and his feet.

This is not to insinuate that the Beatles were inspired of God, but that God caused them to name one of their songs with the same name as the person who would later point out that they are the great antichrist. One knows this to be true because they could have named the song ‘Hey Jules’ or ‘Hey Julian’ or any other name.

The sixth angel poured out his vial on the great river Euphrates (v.12) and this, as with the sixth trumpet, is symbolic for war. However, there is a slight difference here also. While the sixth trumpet sounded the beginning of World War I & II, the sixth vial sounds a preparation for the Nuclear War.

The drying up of the waters of the Euphrates River is symbolic for the lies that the various government leaders around the world are propagating to each other under the pretext of telling the truth and seeking justice. These statements are exposed as falsehoods. Hence, the water is dried up. The kings from the rising of the sun (v.12) represent the leaders of the nations from the East and the Mideast; each of which has a very powerful armed forces. The leaders of these nations are preparing themselves for war; they want to conquer the whole world.

The gathering together of all the people in Armageddon (v.16) manifests that this is a rehearsal for the greatest war in the history of mankind. It is of course a Nuclear War and may be seen in the world wide build up of nuclear weapons and in the various wars, riots, hostilities and terrorists activities that are erupting around the world today. For example, the United States alone has enough nuclear weapons to kill more people than several times that of the present world population.

Many nations are ignoring their social, economic, environmental and political problems just to stockpile nuclear weapons and other materials of war. Other nations are instigating riots and revolutions, both within their borders and in their neighboring nations.

Meanwhile, the children of God are suffering for lack of justice. Such are the preparations for the upcoming Nuclear War. A war that will hurl mankind into their darkest hour. No one knows when the war is coming but it will come. One should note that God is not causing this war; He is allowing it to happen in order to chastise man for breaking the law of love.

However, before this war comes the great deceiver and father of lies wishes to tell the whole world that everything is fine and that peace is already here. St. John describes this as three unclean spirits like frogs (v.13-14). This is the message of peace given by Satan through the pseudo-Christians. John Lennon’s message of peace through his music. Although he is dead at this point in the revelation, his music lives on. Finally, the capitalistic message of a peaceful and plentiful, corrupt free world.

However, the peace they offer is an empty peace, for it is a peace without God that they offer. In verse fifteen our Lord warns His children not to let the deceptiveness of the devil and his henchmen fool them. It offers only an empty promise and Satan’s empty peace.

With all the preparations for the terrible Nuclear War underway, (v.16) the seventh angel pours out his vial upon the air (v.17). This brings the completion of God’s salvation of mankind.

One should note that the seventh trumpet marks the beginning of the end of time and the seventh vial marks the climax of the end of time as mankind sees it. With the pouring of the seventh vial — and no one knows when that will be — our Lord is finished revealing His message of salvation to mankind. Man is old enough to “leave the mother’s nest,” so to speak. Therefore, the Holy Spirit proclaims: “It is done” (v.17).

The remainder of chapter sixteen is a short description of what happens to the earth as the dreadful Nuclear War begins. The great earthquake, the voices, the lightning and thunders (v.18) are the great Nuclear War.

The great city (v.19) is the capital city of Babylon, which will be destroyed in the Nuclear War. It is divided into three parts manifesting three groups of people who believe they have the solutions to the problems of the world: the liberals, the moderates and the conservatives. But their “solutions” will only bring the Nuclear War on that much sooner. For they seek to glorify their own philosophies, not truth and justice.

The cities of the gentiles (v.19) are the state capitals and major cities of the various nations and states of the world. They are called cities of the gentiles because they too are helping to bring about the war with all their murders, thefts, lies and injustices against the children of God.

Verse twenty proclaims that all the children of God will die either in the Nuclear War itself or in the weeks immediately following the war. Thus, every island and mountain disappeared. To quote from the 1983 movie WarGames, starring Matthew Broderick: “They will be spared the horror of survival; much more fortunate than the millions who will wander sightless through the smoldering aftermath.”

Only Satan’s henchmen will have to suffer the misery of the after affects of the war. Hence, anyone who would repent of their sins during this time will die as a martyr (Rev.14:13).

Satan’s henchmen and the pseudo-Christians then curse God for the war (v.20). Finally, verse twenty-one describes the horror and devastation of the Nuclear War. The great hail are all the nuclear bombs falling upon the cities of the world. Once the war is over, many places will experience a nuclear winter.

God will then wait until the last Roman Catholic priest is dead. Then He will descend upon the earth. Since the war will destroy much of the world wide communications and news networks — which keeps everyone in touch with each other around the world — no one will know who this priest is or where he even lives.

Since this person will have no way of communicating with other priests throughout the world, it is doubtful that he will know that he is the last Roman Catholic priest. When he dies our Lord will come. When our Lord does come, He will come as the King of mercy for all the children of God but for the wicked He will come as the just Judge.
