Editor's Notes
- Book of revelation—writing about the end of days—Nephi has a vision of the wrapping of scenes of this world and is about to write them and the angel comes and stops him and so no-it's not your job; somebody else will do that why would that fall to John to write? PERHAPS because he will be here to witness it; keys given to him like Moroni brought forth the BOM because he was entrusted with that job
- Why is it so difficult to read the Book of Revealation? do you ever feel like this video?
- What? of course Joseph can say that because he was a revealator— Joseph the Revealtor like John the revelator Listen John gives us 4 things @ the beginning that tells us what we need to do
- John gives a unique description of the Savior—let;s see what we can learn fro this—NOT your typical image fond in our homes.
- John goes onto describe these 7 churches and some of the things they are experiencing; gives them advice and counsel—it's important to remember ALL are members. Here's some of the things they are dealing with Which church are you like? maybe you could go back and read some of the advice given to them that could help you today Iwaas going to leave the 7 churches discussion right there but last night in the temple i was alone in the celestial room and I felt very prompted to share something else
- I notices this exact phrase repeated 7x in these chapters discussing the churches
- these are just possible Symbols or intrpretations to consider; I'm not saying that these ae the ONLY symbols--disclaimer
- Why are these good reprenters for the apostles?what determinew where the horns go? an apostle is also a seer so eyes are a really good reprentation for them
- wears a crown on his head showing he wants power and gory for himself
- he carries a sword on a red horse
- the third horseman is on a black horse and has a scale in his hand—measuring our
- last horseman is a sickly green—interesting that it all follows in sequence 1-4; someone want power, then there is war, famine is sure to follow and the death and disease
- when the 5th seal is opened souls cried out from under the altar—ALL those that have died in the name of JESUS; ALL TH EARLY APOSTLES EXCEPT JOHN OF COURSE, ABINDAI,STEPHEN,JPOSEPH ANF HYRUM
- now there could be a literal earthquake, should we watch the richter scale
- this could be literal but it could also be poetic– if that were the case it would represent spiritual darkness; literally taking away ALL sources of light available in John's day.
- One answer we haven't used yet and that is the most important question in the Book of Revelation are you ready for it? Who shall be able to stand in the last days? with all of these earthquakes, falling stars, bloody moons and wars John gives some very good answers to who these people are—study them
