The Breakdown of Revelation
Study
Your
BIBLE
As stated in our (Yaashyah and Tazadaq’s)
welcome message, “This web site is set
up to document our progress in the understanding of the word
of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ found throughout the
Bible.” Additionally we stated, “Lord's will, we will continuously
read, study, and update this web site in accordance with our
understanding of the scriptures.”
In studying the words
of Christ found in Matthew 24, and specifically,
verse 34: “Verily I say unto you, This
generation shall not pass, till all these things
be fulfilled.” It is clear, based on that statement, that
all the prophecies in Matthew 24:4-31, will
occur (be fulfilled) in the lifetime of that generation of people
(who lived during the time of Christ) who are raised up again,
and living on the earth in the last day, see
Matthew 16:24-28, Revelation 1:7 and John 6:39-40. Additionally,
according to the Bible, a generation is around seventy (70)
years, see
Psalm 90:10.
In looking at The First Four Seals,
and understanding that they coincide with what Christ said in
Matthew 24:4-8. We believe that the rumours of wars, nation
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, is the raise of
The beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns. However, at this time
we are not able to place each of the seven heads in their proper
seal. We await that understanding from Christ and the Most High.
The First Four Seals
THE FIRST SEAL
Revelation 6:1: “And I” [John] “saw when the Lamb" [Christ] "opened one of the seals,” [See Revelation 5:5, 7] “and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts” [See Revelation 4:6-7] “saying, Come and see.”
Revelation 6:2: “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
The vision of The First Seal is the rise of The Contrary Feathers (the first two heads of the beast).
2 Esdras 11:25-27
2 Esdras 11:25: “And I beheld, and, lo, the feathers” [The Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Contrary Feathers/Kings] “that were under the wing thought to set up themselves and to have the rule."
2 Esdras 11:26: “And I” [Esdras] “beheld, and, lo, there was one” [The Third Contrary Feather (The FIRST head of the beast, see Revelation 13:1)] “set up, but shortly it appeared no more.”
2 Esdras 11:27: “And the second” [The Fourth Contrary Feather (The SECOND head of the beast)] “was sooner away than the first.”
THE SECOND SEAL
Revelation 6:3: “And when he” [Christ] “had opened the second seal, I” [John] “heard the second beast” [See Revelation 4:6-7] “say, Come and see.”
Revelation 6:4: “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”
THE THIRD SEAL
Revelation 6:5: “And when he” [Christ] “had opened the third seal, I” [John] “heard the third beast” [See Revelation 4:6-7] “say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.”
Revelation 6:6: “And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”
THE FOURTH SEAL
Revelation 6:7: “And when he” [Christ] “had opened the fourth seal, I” [John] “heard the voice of the fourth beast” [See Revelation 4:6-7] “say, Come and see.”
Revelation 6:8: “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

2 Esdras 11:21: “For some of them” [The Eight Contrary Feathers] “were set up, but ruled not.”
2 Esdras 11:22: “After this I looked, and, behold, the twelve feathers" [The Caesars] "appeared no more, nor the two little feathers:”
2 Esdras 11:23: “And there was no more upon the eagle's body, but three heads that rested, and six little wings.”
2 Esdras 11:24: “Then saw I also that two little feathers divided” [Or separated] “themselves from the six, and remained under the head that was upon the right side: for the four continued in their place.”
2 Esdras 12:10: “And he”
[The angel] “said unto me, This is the interpretation
of the vision:”
2 Esdras 12:29:
“And whereas thou sawest two
feathers” [The Seventh and
Eighth Contrary Feathers (The BEAST
whose deadly wound was healed and False
Prophet)] “under the wings passing
over the head that is on the right side;”
2 Esdras 12:30: “It
signifieth that these” [The Seventh and Eighth
Contrary Feathers] “are they,” [The two
kings (The BEAST whose deadly wound was
healed and False Prophet)] “whom the Highest
hath kept unto their” [The Eagle/Roman Empire's]
“end: this is the small kingdom
and full of trouble, as thou” [Esdras]
“sawest.”
THE first seal: RISE OF THE BEAST WITH SEVEN HEADS
2 Esdras 11:25: “And I beheld, and, lo, the feathers” [The Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Contrary Feathers/Kings] “that were under the wing thought to set up themselves and to have the rule."
2 Esdras 11:26: “And I” [Esdras] “beheld, and, lo, there was one” [The Third Contrary Feather (The FIRST head of the beast, see Revelation 13:1)] “set up, but shortly it appeared no more.”
2 Esdras 11:27: “And the second” [The Fourth Contrary Feather (The SECOND head of the beast)] “was sooner away than the first.”
2 Esdras 11:28: “And I beheld, and, lo, the two” [The Fifth and the Sixth Contrary Feathers (The THIRD and FOURTH heads of the beast)] “that remained thought also in themselves to reign:”
2 Esdras 12:10: “And he”
[The angel] “said unto me, This is the interpretation
of the vision:”
2 Esdras 12:20:
“That in him” [The Eagle] “there shall
arise eight kings, whose times"
[Ruler ships] "shall be
but small," [Short/not long] "and
their years" [To rule]
"swift.”
2 Esdras
12:21: “And two of
them" [The First and Second Contrary Feathers/Kings]
"shall perish,” [Die]
“the middle time approaching:
four" [The Third, Fourth,
Fifth, and Sixth Contrary Feathers (The first
FOUR
heads of The Beast)] "shall be kept until their"
[The Eagle's] "end begin to approach: but
two” [The Seventh and Eighth
Contrary Feathers (The BEAST whose
deadly wound was healed, and the False Prophet)]
“shall be kept unto the end.”
2 Esdras 11:29: ““And when they” [The Fifth and the Sixth Contrary Feathers] “so thought, behold, there awaked one of the” [Three] “heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst;” [Middle (The FIFTH head of the beast)] “for that was greater than the two other heads.”
2 Esdras 11:30: “And then I saw that the two other heads" [The Second and Third heads (The SIXTH and SEVENTH heads of the beast)] "were joined” [Awoken] “with it.” The Head in the midst/middle (The Great Head).
2 Esdras 11:31: “And, behold, the head” [In the middle/FIFTH head of the beast] “was turned with them” [The two other heads/SIXTH and SEVENTH heads of the beast] “that were with it, and did eat up” [Kill] “the two feathers under the wing that would have reigned.”
2 Esdras 11:32: “But this” [Middle] “head put the whole earth in fear, and bare rule in it over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much oppression; and it had the governance: [Rule] "of the world more than all the wings" [The Twelve Feathers/Caesars and six, of the eight, Contrary Feathers] "that had been.”
2 Esdras 11:33: “And after this I beheld, and, lo, the head that was in the midst” [Middle/Great Head (The FIFTH head of the beast)] “suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings.”
2 Esdras 12:10: “And he”
[The angel] “said unto me, This is the interpretation
of the vision:”
2 Esdras 12:22:
“And whereas thou sawest three heads
resting," [The
FIFTH,
SIXTH
and SEVENTH
heads of The Beast] "this is the interpretation:”
2 Esdras 12:23: “In
his” [The Eagle/Fourth Kingdom’s] “last
days shall the most High raise up three
kingdoms, and renew many things
therein, and they” [The Three Heads] “shall
have the dominion” [Ruler ship] “of the
earth,”
2 Esdras 12:24:
“And of those that dwell therein, with
much oppression,
above all those” [Feathers/Kings] “that
were before them: therefore are they called
the heads of the eagle.”
2 Esdras 12:25: “For
these are they” [The Three Heads] “that
shall accomplish his” [The Eagle’s] “wickedness,
and that shall finish his last end.”
2 Esdras 12:26: “And whereas
thou sawest that the great head” [The
FIFTH
head of the beast] “appeared no more,
it signifieth that one of them” [The Great
Head] “shall die upon his bed, and yet with
pain.”
2 Esdras 11:34: “But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort" [With much oppression, see verse 32] "ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein.”

of the vision:”

and SEVENTH
heads of the beast)] “that remain shall be slain
with the sword.”

one” [The head on the right
(The SEVENTH
head of The Beast)] “shall devour”
[Kill] “the other:” [The head on the left
(The SIXTH
head of the beast)] “but at the last shall
he” [The head on the right]
“fall through the sword himself.” Be killed.
2 Esdras 12:2-3
THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET
2 Esdras 12:2: “And, behold, the head” [On the right] “that remained and the four wings appeared no more, and the two” [The remaining Contrary Feathers/Kings (The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed and the False Prophet)] “went unto it” [The Eagle] “and set themselves up to reign,” [Rule] “and their kingdom” [Babylon] “was small, and full of uproar.” See 2 Esdras 12:19-20, Revelation 13:5 and Daniel 7:25.
2 Esdras 12:10: “And he”
[The angel] “said unto me, This is the interpretation
of the vision:”
2 Esdras 12:29:
“And whereas thou sawest two
feathers” [The Seventh and
Eighth Contrary Feathers (The BEAST
whose deadly wound was healed and False
Prophet)] “under the wings passing
over the head that is on the right side;”
2 Esdras 12:30: “It signifieth
that these” [The Seventh and Eighth Contrary
Feathers] “are they,” [The two kings (The BEAST whose
deadly wound was healed and False Prophet)]
“whom the Highest hath kept unto their”
[The Eagle/Roman Empire's] “end: this is the
small kingdom and full
of trouble, as thou” [Esdras] “sawest.”
2 Esdras 12:3: “And I” [Esdras] “saw, and, behold, they” [The Seventh and Eighth Contrary Feathers] “appeared no more, and the whole body of the eagle” [The Fourth Kingdom/Roman Empire] “was burnt so that the earth was in great fear:" [See 2 Esdras 12:32-33 and 2 Esdras 15:40, 44] "then awaked I out of the trouble and trance of my mind, and from great fear, and said unto my spirit,”
Revelation 13:3-4
THE BEAST WHOSE DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED
In Revelation 13:3, the seventh
head wounded unto death, is the fulfillment of
2 Esdras 12:28. The BEAST whose deadly wound
was healed is one of the
last two rulers, to rule the earth before Christ
returns, see
2 Esdras 12:29-30.
This mystery is explained in Revelation 17:8.
Revelation 17:8: “The beast
that thou sawest" [In
Revelation 17:3] "was," [All
seven heads/kings are dead, see
Revelation 13:3] "and is not;
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,” [See
Revelation 13:3] “and go into
perdition:” [See
Revelation 19:20] “and they that
dwell on the earth shall wonder,” [Synonyms: fascinated,
admire, esteem etc.] “whose names were
not written in the book of life from the foundation of the
world,” [See
Revelation 13:3-4, 8] “when they behold
the BEAST that was," [The beast with seven heads
and ten horns] "and is not," [Because the
eighth head/king/the BEAST whose deadly wound was healed
is ruling] "and yet is.” See
Revelation 17:11.
Revelation 13:3: “And I" [John] "saw one of his heads" [The SEVENTH head/The Eagle's right head] "as it were wounded to death;” [Killed, see 2 Esdras 12:28] “and his deadly wound was healed:” [See Revelation 17:8, 11] “and all the world wondered after the BEAST.” The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:4: “And they worshipped the dragon” [Satan] “which gave power unto the BEAST: and they worshipped the BEAST,” [Whose deadly wound was healed] “saying, Who is like unto the BEAST? who is able to make war with him?”
According to Revelation 13:4
everyone (all nations) that follows/worships the
BEAST whose deadly wound was healed are the children
of Satan.
The children of Satan, both
the unbelieving Jews and Gentiles, cannot
hear and/or follow the words of God and the testimony of Christ,
see
1 John 3:5-13, John 8:13-14, 17-18, 41-45, 47,
59, John 10:24-26 and John 12:44, 46-48 and Acts 14:1-5.
