The Dark Ages of Roman control have eclipsed and the light is come. John heard ‘7 thunders’ and was told not to write them in Chapter 10. The Plan of Salvation would be unfolded over time and slowly people would come into the light. The changes from total control to freedom would cause bitterness as well as sweetness.

Germany and England would convulse with the changes and wars would erupt. The New World would open new nations, where freedom could be more easily explored, but war and strife would follow there as well. The basic freedom of salvation by grace was of first step, and many martyrs bled to open that door. Then The leading of The Holy Spirit was opened as Protestant Groups sprang up and Great Awakenings occurred.

Rev 11 seems to switch locations to Jerusalem once again. The Jews were gathered back from Europe into The Promised Land starting in 1948. Then in 1967 Jerusalem came back under 4 part control just as Daniel said it was 2,500 years ago. Jew, Roman, Greek and Moslems each have a portion. Christians were often stomped on but never eliminated from Israel.

Rev 15 is another witness to where we are in history. Rev 12 and 13 reveal Catholic and Monetary influences in the world. Rev 14 provides an introduction to God’s Harvest Plan. Three angels announce The Truth of Salvation, the fall of confusion, and warn against fleshly pleasures. Then three angels reveal the 3 harvests and finally we come to Rev 15. Rev 15 is the counterpart to Rev 11. Rev 11 gives a brief concluding message to the first half of Revelation. Rev 15 then introduces the concluding activities in God’s Salvation Plan. Pieces of the 7 thunders in Rev 10 are opened and believers begin to see God’s Plan from start to finish. Salvation’s conclusion requires the removal of some of the world’s systems. Thus the 7 Bowls of God’s Wrath are required. But along with the complete removal of evil, new life and freedom will spring forth.

When we look at the past 2,000 years of Church History, we notice a very similar pattern with that of The Old Testament. God’s Word is written but few seem to take it to heart. But at this time in history, there will be a rather sudden change - just before Jesus returns to rapture His Beloved Church to His Wedding Feast. Of the 7 Vials, three will be poured out in quick succession. This is the same pattern we saw when Jesus was Sacrificed and Rose from death. The Passover-Unleavened Bread and Pentecost Festivals were fully revealed within two months. Now it seems the next three major events will take place within a few months…

The Trumpets will sound as Rev 14 and 15 are implemented.  The introduction in 14-15 will be fully implemented as we read in Rev 17 and 18. Then The Day of Atonement will be implemented as we read in Rev 19 and The Day of Tabernacles will be initiated as we read in the first few verses of Rev 20. These three significant events in God’s Salvation Plan will be initiated within a few months.Rev 16 lists the 7 Vials of God’s Wrath. Each of these seem very similar to the Plagues of Egypt and to The 7 trumpets in Rev 7 through 11. But at this time, we see in Rev 17 Governments will begin to destroy Mystery Babylon.  Controlling Governments fall, and economic chaos and ruin follow in Rev 18. “My People” are told to come out of her in Rev 18:4, and The Rapture and Wedding take place in Heaven as the world systems burn in God’s Wrath.

Just after the Wedding Feast, Jesus returns to Earth and removes all remaining opposition through His Word. HE alone conquers and His Word triumphs. HE tramples the grapes as in a wine press, and rules with a rod of iron. The world governments (Beast) and false religions (False Prophet) are burned and Satan is imprisoned for 1,000 years. All powers

who think to rival The Lord are crushed by Christ alone….

Thus we see the rapid reversals resulting from Vial 7 (Rev 17and 18), Vial 6 (Rev 19 Wedding and Armageddon).  Vial 5 (Rev 20 The Millennium and Satan Bound).  One thousand years later, Vial 4 results in The Rebellion at the end of the Millennium.

Vial 3 brings The White Throne Judgment.  Vial 2 results in The Lake of Fire, and Vial 1 results in the New Jerusalem. All the evils in this Vial World are finally subdued and Jesus dwells with His Wife and Bride forever.

–  This is a quick summary of The Remaining Major Changes which will be required for Mankind to be created and made into God’s Likeness and Image. All these changes are totally dependent upon God and His Will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. It will take another 1,000 years and more to see these events take place. However, the next few years would seem to be packed with activity. We are living in exciting times.
