Revelation Chapter Twenty-Two Breakdown


1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

The angel next shows John a pure river of the water of life. This water comes directly from the throne of YHWH and Yeshua.

2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

There are trees which line both sides of the river. They are all the tree of life and produce twelve fruits each month. The leaves of the tree can heal the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

There is no more curse, and the servants of YHWH will serve Him. The curse, if you remember, comes from not obeying YHWH.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28
“Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.

At this point, there really is no option to disobey YHWH within the walls of the kingdom.

4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.

All those in the kingdom will stand face to face with YHWH, and His name will be on their foreheads.

5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

Inside the kingdom there is no night and no need for the sun or a lamp. YHWH is their light. John repeats this several times, this must mean he is amazed by this. Those within the kingdom will reign with YHWH forever.

6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

John is told by the angel, these words are true, YHWH sent His angel to show the things that will come to pass.  

7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Yeshua is coming quickly. Those who keep the words found in the prophecy John is giving, are blessed.

8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

John saw and heard all these things, then fell down to worship the angel.

9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

John is rebuked by the angel and told to worship only YHWH.

10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

John is commanded not to hide the words of this prophecy because these things are close to beginning. This was stated during the life of John. John lived roughly two thousand years ago. This leads me to believe we are now in the last days, as in, fully immersed. If that is the case, we absolutely must take a look around the world today and see what we can find that matches up. Doing so leads me to the conclusions I have laid out throughout the entire breakdown of each of the chapters. That is, looking at where these antichrist countries are located, and seeing that each of those countries are all of one mindset today.

11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

John is told, if a man is unjust, let him be and so on.

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

Yeshua is coming quickly and bringing His reward for men. His reward will be given to each man according to that man’s deeds. This is also a very interesting point. Most churches today teach a man’s works do not have an effect on his salvation or afterlife. This clearly states we will be rewarded according to our works.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

Again we see, Yeshua stating He is the Aleph and Tav, that is the first and the last.

14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

This verse comes just after the statement concerning His rewards. Those who keep the commandments of YHWH will be blessed. Those who keep those commandments will be granted access to the tree of life and through the gates of the kingdom.

Does the inverse mean then, those who do not keep His commandments will not have access to the tree of life and will not be allowed to enter through the gates of the Kingdom of God?

15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

Outside the gates of the kingdom are sinners. Notice the things listed here are all things that directly violate the commandments of YHWH, which is what many call the Law of Moses.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

Yeshua sends His angel to the churches. He is the Root of David.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

The Spirit of the bride is the Spirit of those who want to keep the Law of YHWH.

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

If anyone adds to these prophecies, YHWH will add the plagues found here to him. Anyone removing things from these prophecies will be removed from the Book of Life.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Yeshua says again, He is coming quickly.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

John says may the grace of Yeshua be with you.

Revelation Chapter Twenty-One Breakdown


1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

John now sees the new heaven and the new earth. This is where the first heaven and earth passes away. In the new heaven and earth, there is no more sea (quite interesting, I have never heard anyone make mention of the idea there will be no oceans in the kingdom of God).

Matthew 5:18
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

This is very interesting. The Law of God does not pass away until after the millennial reign of Christ comes to an end. This is in direct contradiction to what is taught in most churches.

Isaiah 65:17-25
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, And her people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, And joy in My people; The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, Nor the voice of crying.

“No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. They shall build houses and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; They shall not plant and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for trouble; For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord, And their offspring with them.


“It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,” Says the Lord.

2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

It wasn’t until the new heaven and earth was established that we see the New Jerusalem coming down to earth from heaven. This New Jerusalem is described as being like the bride of Christ.

3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

The tabernacle of God and is said to dwell on the new earth with men. YHWH will live on earth with His people.  

4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

YHWH end suffering and pain. At this point, no death will ever occur again, meaning during the millennial reign, men will die. At this point, everything we know now, will be gone, life will be completely new.

5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.

YHWH declares He will make everything new. John is commanded to write His words down because it will happen.

6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

Now we see YHWH is directly linked to Yeshua, showing they are one and the same.  They both claim to be the Alpha and the Omega. YHWH gives the water of life to all who thirst.

Revelation 1:7-8
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

Believers will need to overcome persecution for our beliefs in order to inherit all things. This is for us now.

8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Those who allow themselves to be deceived by the ways of the world will be thrown into the lake of fire, and go through the second death.

9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”

An angel plans to show John the Bride of Christ. This is New Jerusalem.

10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

John is taken to a high mountain and he sees New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. The city was bright.

12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

The city has a high wall with twelve gates. Each gate guarded by an angel. Each gate has a different name inscribed on it. These names were the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. This is extremely interesting considering there is no thirteenth gate with the name gentiles or church. It seems one must be part of one of these tribes simply to enter the city through one of these gates.  

14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

There were twelve foundations on this great wall. These foundations had the names of the apostles of Yeshua written on them.

15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.

The angel had a golden reed to measure the city.

16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

This city is squared. It has a length, width, and height that are all equal.

17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

Each measurement was 144 cubits.

18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.

The city was made from pure gold and transparent similar to glass. Consider what this means. Those standing outside the walls can see in, but cannot enter.

19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

The wall has twelve beautiful stones aligned along the foundation.

21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

The twelve gates are made of pure pearl.

22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

There is no temple inside this kingdom. YHWH and Yeshua are the temple.

23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

There is no more sun or moon, Yeshua is the light.

24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.

All the nations which were saved can walk in the light of the lamb. The kings of the earth come into the kingdom to honor Him.

25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).

The gates of the kingdom are always open and there is no longer any night.

26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.

These kings bring the glory and honor of their nations into His Kingdom.

27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

During this time, there are still abominations on the earth considering none of such things can enter into the gates. The only men who can come and go are those who have names written in the Book of Life.

This is very interesting. This means a few things. The bride of Christ are the high priests who live inside the kingdom. There are those who live outside the kingdom but are still believers. There are also those who live outside the kingdom who are not believers. Taking the time to break this down, changes a lot of what I thought I knew about the Kingdom of God.

Revelation Chapter Twenty Breakdown


1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

John sees the angel from chapter nine. The angel of the Bottomless pit. This angel also was now carrying a large strong chain.

2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

The angel put his hands on the Satan, and bound him with the chain for 1,000 years. Satan was then cast into the bottomless pit where he was sealed off for the 1,000 years. This prevented him from deceiving the nations. Then there is a warning given. After the 1,000 years, Satan will be released.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

John sees thrones in which they sit on. Judgement was committed to them. John sees the souls of men and women who were beheaded because they kept the faith in Yeshua and the word of YHWH. These people were beheaded because they did not worship the beast. They did not worship the image nor did they accept the mark of the beast.

Consider this, the only people in the world today who are literally beheading Christians and Jews, who are the people who keep the faith of Christ and the word of God, are the Muslims. Islam literally commands the murder of Jews and Christians, whether that is through the Quran or a Hadith, does not matter. It is taken seriously enough that it is happening regularly even today.
Because these people did not accept the mark and kept the word of God, they lived and reigned with Christ for the 1,000 years.

5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Everyone else does not raise from the dead until the thousand year reign ends. The first resurrection is when those who will reign with Christ, those who believe in Christ testimony, and those who kept the Law of God are raised up.

6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Those who do take part in the first resurrection will be considered blessed. The second death will have no power over these men and women and they will be considered priests of God and of Christ.

7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

John goes into an even later, future prophecy. After the 1,000 year reign, Satan is released and will go out to do the very same thing again. He gathers together many nations to fight Yeshua. There are literally millions of men who come to fight against Yeshua at the very end. This shows, during the millennial reign, there will be people outside the walls of New Jerusalem.

Zechariah 14:16-19
And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Even though these people do not live amongst New Jerusalem, they will be required to come to worship Yeshua and take part in the feast of Tabernacles. This also begs the questions, if we are expected to keep the feast days during the millennia, then why are we not expected to keep them now? The feast days were expected before Christ and during His reign, so can we really believe they aren’t expected now?

 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.

These nations will surround the army of the saints and YHWH will send fire down on then and completely destroy them.

10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

At this point, Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire where the false prophet and the beast are. They will be tormented for all eternity. The lake of fire is what we consider in modern Christianity to be hell.

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.

John then sees the great white throne of YHWH.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

John then sees the dead. There are several books opened, then a third, the Book of Life. Could these books be the Old and New Testaments? The dead are literally being judged by YHWH according to the deeds and how those deeds aligned with His Word.

13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

At this time, all those who died at sea are spit out, and all those who were in Hades, which is a holding place for the dead, are spit out. They too are judged according to their works.
Again, if we are all to be judged according to our works, why would we not want to keep the Law of God, His instructions for us?

14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Death and Hades are then thrown into the lake of fire as well. The second death comes at this point. Some will be resurrected to be judged and die again.

15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Anyone not found with their name written in the Book of Life will be thrown into the lake of fire. This is very sobering.

Revelation Chapter Nineteen Breakdown


1 After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!

After seeing all that comes with the whore of Babylon John hears a mass of voices crying out from heaven.

2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”

The crowd proclaims YHWH’s judgements on Babylon. They say His vengeance came because she shed the blood of His servants.

3 Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!”

Isaiah 34:8-12
For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, The year of recompense for the cause of Zion. Its streams shall be turned into pitch, And its dust into brimstone; Its land shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night or day; Its smoke shall ascend forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; No one shall pass through it forever and ever. But the owl and the hedgehog shall possess it, Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness. They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.

This is an interesting comparison between these two passages. The entire chapter from Isaiah is in reference to the nations of the world who are against Israel. But then gets specific about Edom and Bozrah. These both border on Saudi Arabia, which is what I have been speaking about for some time. Now, considering these places are deserts and have access to oil it also makes sense. Pitch is a solid form of petroleum oil, similar to tar. The word streams does not mean, or have to mean rivers. The Hebrew is  Strong's H5158 – nachal and it could mean,  a shaft (of a mine), in other words, into the rocks, caves, and wholes of the ground.

Isaiah 2:19
They shall go into the holes of the rocks, And into the caves of the earth, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!”

John sees the 24 elders as well as the four creatures again, worshipping YHWH.

5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”

John hears from the throne.

6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

The crowd again praises YHWH.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”

It is clear from this, the marriage between Messiah and the Bride (believers) does not take place until after the destruction of Babylon.

8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

The bride only can be displayed in fine linen. The fine linen is the righteous deeds, and the Bride is the assembly of the saints.

9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

John is told those who are called to the marriage are blessed. But it is likely these are not the same as the Bride.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

John attempts to worship the angel, but is told not to do so. We are then told, Yeshua’s testimony is the spirit of prophecy.

11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

John sees heaven open and Yeshua coming on a white horse. He comes to make war and judgements.

12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

John gives a description of Yeshua.

13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

Isaiah 63:1-3
Who is this who comes from Edom, With dyed garments from Bozrah, This One who is glorious in His apparel, Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress? “I have trodden the winepress alone, And from the peoples no one was with Me. For I have trodden them in My anger, And trampled them in My fury; Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, And I have stained all My robes.

John sees Yeshua now, after He has already begun His wars. His robe is dipped in the blood of the Edomites and from Bozrah. This fits exactly with what was stated previously. This means, John is seeing Yeshua on His way to fight the rest of the Antichrist army, after Babylon is destroyed.

14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

Heavens army is coming quickly behind Yeshua.

15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Yeshua will destroy the nations with His sword. He will then rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Yeshua is YHWH in the flesh and brings the His wrath.

16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

He is named, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. What is interesting about this is a verse from Islam.

Sahih al-Bukhari Book 73 Hadith 224
Allah’s Apostle said, “The most awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”

An angel calls out to all the birds to come eat the dead bodies of all those who fight against Yeshua.

19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.

John sees all the beast’s armies coming together against Yeshua.

20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. 
These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

During the battle the beast and the antichrist, who I believe to be the false prophet, are captured and thrown into the lake of fire.

21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Every other human who fought for the Antichrist were killed and the birds feed on their dead bodies.
One main thing we can take away from this is the Whore of Babylon is definitely destroyed before the war with the antichrist takes place. The whore will be in the vicinity of Saudi Arabia, if not within her boarders 100% as I have suggested.
