Revelations -reading it again...

With the new knowledge from Daniel 2 (See tag names prophecy, analysis : Was Reading my Bible with Louise), it's time to re-read Revelations and to see where we are in it and what we can expect to happen at what time frame and in what order.

Did God lie to John of Patmos? Telling him the time was coming soon? Did John therefore rewrite Revelations in order to give us a different impression of the future? One in line with 'sending a strong deception'? Let's read carefully this time.

1. After the 6th SEAL (and only after it) because Rev 7:3 "Hurt not the earth, sea nor trees till the servants of God are sealed" -after the 6th SEAL, can happen the first of the TRUMPETS
2. By this argument, the 4th SEAL has to break and actually END before the 6th seal when the death and wars are held back. Unsure if it resumes again. But one sign is that bad times turn around and for a season there is peace and rejoicing of the faithful. The fact this hasn't happened yet means we are not past the 4th or 5th even.
3. At the 6th SEAL, the faithful in Christ (even Gentiles) are 'Raptured' for lack of a better term. This does not mean I will go with Christ even as I suffer the blows and afflictions to write fellow brothers and sisters this analysis. But it is my great hope to be taken.
4. After this, the 6 TRUMPETS announce woes on mankind who do not repent. During this time, my Pastor told me, Jesus is on the earth but has yet to subdue Satan who is among sinners, in spirit. "The kingdoms of the world are become the kingdom of the Lord and his Christ" -it must be the 2nd coming fulfilled and empowered by the 7th TRUMPET.
5. Then there is the man child "who ruleth the nations with a rod of iron". Who is he and who is his mother? This sequence of verses appears surreal like the Aboriginal Dream Time. My interpretation is that it concerns changes in Heaven and the woman cannot be the World Church or Virgin Mary, but more possibly related to angelic beings. And the supernatural powers of Evil cast out by Angel Michael will cause aberrations on the earth unseen since Biblical times began. Thus the 2 beasts from sea and earth are to be taken as non-human, supernatural evil. They are not the Catholic Church, perhaps not even the Little Horn / Antichrist (if he were human).
6. After the 7 VIALS / CENSERS, the islands and mountains that moved whence the 6th SEAL broke, totally disappear and the cities of men were totally destroyed.
7. Notice that the angels tell John how the spirit of Satan will finally be destroyed -there are 7 mountains, 7 kings -one of which is yet to come, and one of which was 'reborn' (was, is not, is to come). 5 of them appear to be 'fallen', meaning they are proceeding to rule and all in all 10 kings will rule with the supernatural Evil for one hour. The GREAT CITY could be a city yet to be declared World Capital. It might be anywhere but is most probably Rome.
