Thought Experiment
‘I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of savage beasts so that
they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety. I will make them and
the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season;
there will be showers of blessing. The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops;
the people will be secure in their land. …when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue
them from the hands of those who enslaved them. They will no longer be plundered by
the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will make
them afraid. I will provide for them a land renowned for its crops, and they will no longer be
victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations.,
Peace, Safety, Abundance, Security, Freedom
Ez. 34:25-
Yet most people will defend things that aren’t in the Bible
(i.e., the Rapture, The Antichrist, the 3rd temple) and say it has to get worse and worse
QUESTION: who benefits from this belief system
Our perspective
Why our filmmaking/storytelling perspective is relevant - we study the language of story
Danger of the experts - Joy medical/nutritional background - we all relate now.
How many times have we heard this? Rev 13 - the beast (now this is the antichrist)..
Reminds of a tainted jury
the study of Story/Aristotle - plot devices
Deus ex machina (/ˌdeɪəs ɛks ˈmækɪnə, ˈmɑːk-/ DAY-əs ex-MA(H)K-in-ə,[1]
Latin: [ˈdɛ.ʊs ɛks ˈmaːkʰɪnaː]; plural: dei ex machina;
English "god out of the machine")[2][3] is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable
problem in a story is suddenly and/or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely
occurrence.[4][5] Its function is generally to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation,
to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, and/or act as a comedic device.
It is generally deemed undesirable in writing and often implies a lack of creativity on the part of the author. The reasons for this are that it damages the story's
internal logic and is often so unlikely that it challenges the reader's suspension of disbelief.[13]
Lazy storytelling – If I can tell a better story than God…
History recap of the Rapture Theology
Most Christians in history have considered the Advancing/
Expanding Kingdom theology (a.k.a. Dominion theology) as the orthodox view of the end times.
Cerinthus - introduced the 1,000 reign, gnostic, heretic
Puritans & Pilgrims loved Revelation.
Darby/Scofield - Zionist/Masonic ties - (ask JM)
The Protocols of Zion - parts ironically read like Late Great Planet Earth/The Left Behind series -
PArt 4 of Fall of the Cabal
“Ye shall know them by their fruit” - Puritans & Pilgrims vs. Modern Church –
one brought about America. The other? The WEF
Interpretation - Seeing the Bible as Literature
God is a poet, a historian, a novelist, a legislator, a judge, a technical writer, etc.
The dangers of an exclusively literal (or symbolic) interpretation
Example: Cinematic Language - colors, lenses, composition
Context
Most think reading in context means verse, chapter, paragraph, book, etc.
Historical context - AD 60s - Hebrews were the first Christians.
Rich in Old Testament knowledge & Hebrew literature. Thought process, language.
What was that like?
Old Testament Context - Literally 1000’s of OT references
(Tree of Life, Dragon, Living Creatures, the jewels of the High Priest breastplate,
the words on the hat (people talk about “the mark of the beast” but forget about
the seal of the Lord)
Makes sense that the Lord would deliver it this way as a code from the authorities.

Method: Literary Interpretation vs. Literal Interpretation
Like Movies or Old books - Citizen Kane, Dante, Dostoevsky, Shakespeare
Using the Bible to interpret the Bible - I will not seek meaning outside of the
context of the Bible without FIRST establishing meaning WITHIN the Bible.
This includes a broader understanding of the cultural context.
5 W’s & an H - Ask the questions: Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How?
Michael Heiser - The Bible Unfiltered, The Unseen Realm/Supernatural
RE-CAP the The Jewishness of the Early Church.
Paul would go to the synagogues first (Acts 9:20;), arguing with the Hellenistic Jews
The Early Church considered themselves the “New Israel” & the “Seed of Abraham”
It is interesting to note the modern trend of Christians seeking to understand Hebrew roots.
IMPORTANT: to our modern ears, this might sound like overintellectualizing.
This wouldn’t have been necessary when the book was written.
This would have been a part of John & his audience's subconscious.
It would have flowed out of them like today’s pop culture references.
We have to START HERE - get into their mindset/worldview -
before introducing ANY new meaning to the imagery.
WARNING: We mustn't get stuck here. The #1 Purpose, the ENTIRE POINT,
is to follow-up with the question: “How then shall we live?” - with a proper foundation intact,
we ask how we face the future.
RE-CAP of Covenant language & Covenant Lawsuit
Ancient covenants had 5 parts - Days of Vengeance pg 14-17
Prophets are like lawyers - “Hey, you. remember the agreement?”
Deuteronomy, Hosea
Revelation’s structure - NOT a political document, a covental one
COMING ON THE CLOUDS
Similar to our discussion on the Sun, Moon, and Stars
Hebrew mindset, syntax, & metaphors
Northern Irish student - Trousers & napkins vs. Underwear & Diapers
Cloud of Glory - FILLING HIS TEMPLE
The Exodus - Prince of Egypt, Ten Commandments
Sinai - the cloud came with lightning, thunder, earthquakes
Ex. 14:19-25 - came between Pharaoh & the Israelites
The Tabernacle & Temple
Old Covenant - Filled the temple, consumed sacrifices
New Covenant - Filled us (the Temple), consumes us
Ezekiel & John
Ez invited to look up/John invited to come up & look down -
a comparison of covenant & humanity’s station within the covenant
Coming on the Clouds - One of the most familiar images of GOD COMING IN JUDGMENT
Gen 9:13 - the hung the bow in the clouds, the FLOOD/Judgement
Nahum 1
Ps 104:3
Jer 4:13 “Behold, he goes up like clouds, And his chariots like the whirlwind;
His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are ruined!”
Is. 19:1 - Egypt
Daniel 7:13-14 - came up (not descending - ASCENDING to the throne) and
was given a Kingdom.
Peter proclaimed on Pentecost/Shavuot (Acts 2:30-36) & Paul’s Letters
(Eph. 1:20-22, Col. 1:13)
When Jesus mentioned this to the High Priest…. It was a threat, a promise.
Interesting to note: the Jerusalem Christians sold their land, possessions.
As far as I can tell, this didn’t occur anywhere else… only Jerusalem.
Could it be because Jesus had ‘condemned’ the property? Was it an act of faith
in Christ’s Matthew 24 prophecy? Acts 4:32-37, 5:1-11 then isn’t a biblical support for
socialism/communism - it’s simply Jewish Believers believing Christ & being wise
[again why cultural context/accurate understanding is paramount against heresy].
THE 7 SEALS
Powerful imagery even in current culture – The Four Horseman, The Seventh Seal (Movie),
The Blood Moon
What did the audience at the time know?
How were documents saved? The meaning of the number of Seals
Before money orders German envelops had 5 seals - Zahn
The Seven Sealed Bibleon - WHO CAN OPEN THE SCROLL (bibleon)?
WHAT is the Scroll? What do we know from the text?
7 seals - Testament/Covenant Testament and covenant
can be used interchangeably in the Bible to refer to
mutual commitments based upon promises, obligations,
and rituals.
Written front & back - again Covenant:
Ten Commandments - Two copies like Modern contracts.
WHEN is a testament opened?
The Testator had died. The Old Covenant passed away
because of the death of the “King of the Jews”
(sign on Jesus’ cross).
WHO can open a testament?
The One who inherits - The resurrection.
He is worthy to open the new scroll, the new covenant.
Subsequently abolishing the Old and inheriting the New.
He is both the ALPHA & OMEGA, AUTHOR & FINISHER,
BEGINNING & END. Jesus accomplished this as both
a resurrected HUMAN (second Adam, the first fruit,
King of Kings, Lord of Lords) and the INFINITE GOD
(Alpha & Omega).
WHERE was it opened?
In the THRONE ROOM [the COURT] of the Great King
WHY was it opened?
The Death of the Great King & His Resurrection.
Proclamation of Judgement & Proclamation
The Old covenant was fulfilled and must be closed out
– the vassals (old Israel) – had spilled the blood of the
King (complete revolt). This triggered the curses of the
Sanctions listed in Duet & Lev in full force.
Complete annihilation resulted. After AD 70,
Jerusalem was desolate until well into AD 200.
With this in mind… WE OPEN THE SCROLL
SEAL 1 - Conqueror - JESUS. Period. How do we KNOW??
THE WHITE HORSE (Rev 19:11-16)
THE BOW - remember the Bow God hung in the clouds
AFTER JUDGEMENT (Gen. 9)?
Above his throne (Ez 1:26-28 & Rev 4)? With this in mind note Hab 3
[2nd Day of Shavuot annual reading], Ps. 18, Ps. 7:12
[praise & worship songs, the Hebrew’s hymnal]
THE CROWN - Greek: stephanos, NOT corona (Latin) or
korone (Greek) stephanos
is used 7 times in Rev in relationship to Christ & His people
(2:10; 3:11; 4:4, 10; 6:2; 12:11; 14:14) also used in other NT passages
- korone is not found in the NT, the only other word for “crown”
is diadema - 3 times: 2 for the beast & dragon, 1 for Christ in Rev 19.
Goes out CONQUERING - nikao - was just used 7 times in the
greetings to the churches - overcoming.
SEAL 2 - War - God takes away the conditions of peacePax Romana –
decades of peace were broken, Rome nearly collapsed in AD 68,
3 factions of Zealots in Israel, complete upheaval in “THE LAND”.
SEAL 3 - Famine – Survival – Self inflicted, the zealots burned out
the granaries, Roman siege, Cannibalism, a mother roasted & ate her child,
A complete collapse of civil society
SEAL 4 - Death – pools of blood in the Temple, bodies piled in the streets,
500 crucifixions, the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan river, the port of Joppa,
the abomination of desolation
SEAL 5 - The prayers of the saints - blood at the base of the alter,
Old covenant agents spilt it?
SEAL 6 - 7 components: Earth, Sun, Moon, Stars, Firmament, Land,
Man - De-creation
SEAL 7 - (Rev 8:1-5) The 7 Trumpets (correspond to the 7 Hebrew feasts)
& Golden censer with the coals from the alter - the prayers.
Notice the earthquakes, peals of thunder, etc.
The 144,000
TIMING - Why is this important between the 6th & 7th Seal?
The remnant of JEWISH believers
10x10x10 - Tryptic numbers - 1,000 signified manyness
4
7 & 3.5
10
12
Multiples - 24; 144,000; 1000; 70
How do we rid the earth of Evil?
Communion
Worship
Calling out & Calling down Jn 20:23 - Great commision - Matthew 16:19
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever
you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”
1) Unless we see Revelation as a Covenant document the continuity to the
rest of the Bible will be lost
a) NOT a political document it’s a covenantal one
b) Prophets are like lawyers - “Hey, you. remember the agreement?”
c) The Scroll - the number of seals means it’s a testament
The Scroll
7 seals The opening of a Testament - KEY: Remember the Covenant Lawsuit &
The Seals release, The Trumpets declare, the Challises pour out
The 144,000 – the remamnt of Israel. The Jewishness of the early church. The focus
of the early church on Israel (Acts ??:??)
Why is this important? Christians are wired for Hope – Faith, Hope, & Love.
We are looking for a Biblical basis for Hope.
I’m coming at this from two premises:
1. First as a Human - Original mandate from God
2. As a storyteller - Modern End Times Theology requires
me to believe that God is relying on the worst storytelling
technique to accomplish His end goal.
Fallacy of the Experts
Fallacy of Tradition
– Leads to the 144,000. Certain things in Revelation do not make sense
unless you figure in 3 things:
1. The OT
2. The Jewishness of the Early Church
3. The Covenant Structure
- Violates the original mandate – Genesis 1 (repeated to Noah in ch 9)
- Disempowers us – fatalism, no hope for the future. 2 weeks’ notice.
We believe stuff not in the Bible (rapture, antichrist) rather than the
stuff in the Bible (glorious future, full passages in Isaiah, Ez, etc.),
the glory spreading across the earth (Hab. 2:14).
- Keeps us looking at Current events rather than looking at the Bible.
Nothing wrong with maintaining an eye what’s happening around us,
but Jesus must be first. Walking on water/eye on the storm – sinks.
The view of Revelation is from “up here looking down” (heavenly perspective)
rather than “down here looking up” (Ez.)
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN stops New York on his way to Montreal to convince the
Canadians to join the Americans as the 14th colony. The winter of 1776 has been
full of surprises. The arrow of revolution has left the quiver… will it hit the target?
The city is in an uproar. News of GENERAL WASHINGTON’S victory in Boston
just weeks prior has rippled throughout the colony. Thousands of Tories, faithful to the
Crown, flee their homes as rumors circulate– the Rebel forces are en route.
New York is to become the next theater of war.
Franklin also finds himself at a crossroads. His health failing, his current mission
doubtful, and his relationship with his loyalist son in tatters, the father of the
founders struggles with doubt. Will the seeds of liberty he has planted for decades bloom?
Or be trampled under the jackboot tyranny has unleashed?
A chance meeting with RICHARD, a young man familiar with Franklin's work,
breathes new life into the old patriot, setting them both on a collision course with destiny.
