The Prophet's Code
The Prophet's Code
So far, we have seen that the prophet’s code begins in the center of Revelation with chapter twelve. It answers that most important question, what is the origin of evil? From there the prophet’s code ripples out from the center with chapters eight through eleven on the historical side, and chapters thirteen through sixteen on the end time side. These chapters answer the following questions respectively; How has God fought against evil forces through the centuries? And, how will God war against evil forces in these last days?

The next section of the prophet’s code will answer another important question, How does God judge evil? The historical section, chapters four through seven, will answer the question, how has God judged evil through the centuries? The end time section, chapters seventeen through nineteen, will answer the question, How will God judge evil in these last days? The historical side, chapters four through seven, gives us a view of the heavenly court. There we see the Father and the Son. But who are these four living creatures and the twenty-four elders? And what do the seven seals have to do with judgment?

On the end time side, chapters seventeen through nineteen, describe the judgment of the harlot church, which is covered with the blood of the saints. Here we also find a symbolic dragon, beast, and false prophet that are thrown into the lake of fire. But what powers in our world are represented by the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet?

The final section of the prophet’s code answers the question, How does God deliver His people from evil? In this historical section, chapters one through three, the question is answered, How has God delivered His people from evil through the centuries? The end time section, chapters twenty through twenty-two, will answer the question, How will God deliver His people from evil in these last days and forever?

In the historical section, God describes His people as seven golden candlesticks. Each candlestick represents a different spiritual condition. The message to each candlestick is tailored to help each one shine brighter for Jesus as they overcome evil in their individual lives.

In the end time section, God will bring all evil to an end in the lake of fire. This same fire purifies the earth. Then God will create a new heaven and a new earth where there is no more evil.

As we all know, we live in a world that struggles between the forces of good and evil. We see that struggles go on in our own lives. To overcome the evil that is within and without, the prophet’s code answers the four questions we have been considering: What is the origin of evil? How does God war against evil forces in our world? How will God judge evil? And how can God deliver us from evil?

As you discover the simplicity of the prophet’s code, I hope that you are encouraged to study the book of Revelation with confidence. The prophet’s code makes the study of Revelation much easier. In addition to this, I firmly believe that if we will diligently study this book and apply the principles found within, we will have a richer religious experience. We are promised, “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand” Revelation 1:3.

The question has been fairly asked, How do you know that these chapters are answering these questions, one from a historical view point and the other from an end time view? As you review the following charts, notice that the words and phrases used on the historical side (chapters one through eleven), are the same words and phrases used on the end time side (chapters thirteen through twenty-two).

For example, the words and phrases in chapters eight through eleven are the same words and phrases used in chapters thirteen through sixteen. Therefore, we know that these chapters are tied together. But how are they tied together? Are they speaking about the same period of time? No, they are not. They are tied together by the same topic. They answer the same question. One answers the question from a historical view point, and the other from an end time view.

You have just begun an important journey in cracking the prophet’s code and unraveling the mysteries of Revelation. My prayer is that the following diagrams and charts will help you as much as they have helped me. May the Lord bless you as you gain understanding and courage from the prophecies of the Revelation, where all the books of the Bible meet and end.
