For some unknown reason, these two verses have been jumbled together so they make poor sense. In 7:13 an “elder” answers a question before it is asked. Someone clearly did a sloppy job in reconstructing these two verses and they were never fixed for some reason. I’ve simply reconstructed them so they read logically without losing any of the message or symbolism. Another important clue in these two verses is the use of the word “knowest.” Any original text would have used a symbol such as “see,” “saw” or “hear,” and would have structured the statement differently. All of the uses of the words “know,” “knoweth” or “knowest” throughout The Apocalypse are done by later editors and clearly mark fraudulent modifications.

Revelation 7:13 (reconstructed)
And I said unto the elders, What are these that are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? Revelation 7:14 (reconstructed)
And the elders answered, saying unto me; These are they that came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

R evel a t i o n 7 : 1 5
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day an d n i gh t inhis temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

“Day” is used incorrectly, and the purpose for “night” is to confuse the true meaning of “day.”

Revelation 7:15 (reconstructed)
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve in Her temple: and She that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.

R evel a t i o n 7 : 1 6
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; n e ith e r s h a ll th e s u n lig h t o n th e m , n o r a n y he a t .

This is an improper usage of the symbols for “sun,” “light” and “heat” (Great Truth and Justice, truth, and justice). Also, the symbol of “the Lamb” represents God's spirits and they include knowledge and Truth, so this was a later modification. Read Isaiah 49:10 below and compare it to Revelation 7:16-17. According to Isaiah 49 this should say “smite.”

Isaiah 49:10
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

Revelation 7:16 (reconstructed)

 

They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat, nor the sun smite them anymore.

Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

R evel a t i o n 8 : 1
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an ho ur .

Should have said “day,” instead of “hour.” As already discussed elsewhere, this was changed to enhance the apparent suddenness of the prophecy. The smallest unit of time symbolized is an hour. A half-hour translates as 7.5 days which points to a later change. No event of such short duration as a half-hour fits within scope of these events.

Revelation 8:1 (reconstructed)

 

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half a day.

 

Revelation 8:2

 

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

R evel a t i o n 8 : 3
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Should have said a “gold” censer.

Revelation 8:3 (reconstructed)
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Revelation 8:4
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
Revelation 8:5
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation 8:6
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. Revelation 8:7
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

R evel a t i o n 8 : 8
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became [as] blood;

“As” was dropped from the original text to support the literal meaning of this obviously symbolic phrase. Also, since “blood” translates as self sacrifice and virtue, “became as blood” would properly translate as ” became self sacrificing and virtuous.”

Revelation 8:8 (reconstructed)
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became as blood;

Revelation 8:9
And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Revelation 8:10
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
Revelation 8:11
And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

R evel a t i o n 8 : 1 2
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened , an d t h e day s h on e n o t

f o r a th ir d p a r t o f it, a n d th e n i g h t lik e w is e .
These are improper uses for “day” and “third part.” “Night” is added to confuse the meaning of “day.” They’re all used literally and incorrectly, which shows they were added later.

Revelation 8:12 (reconstructed)
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened,

R evel a t i o n 8 : 1 3
And I beheld, and heard an an ge l flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Most other translations say an Eagle instead of an Angel flying through the midst of heaven. This is very interesting since the flying eagle mentioned in verse 4:7 is the same as the sign of Scorpio, which is the eighth sign of the Zodiac and this is the last verse of the 8th Chapter of Revelation. Also notice that the three woes or three angels plus eight equals 11.

Revelation 8:13 (reconstructed)
And I beheld, and heard an eagle flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Revelation 9:1
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Revelation 9:2
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. Revelation 9:3
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Revelation 9:4
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Revelation 9:5
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

R evel a t i o n 9 : 6
And in those days shall men seek death, an d s h al l n o t f i n d i t ; an d s h al l de s i r e t o di e , and death shall flee from them.

This insert is too literal and uses “die” to obscure the meaning of death.

 

And in those days shall men seek death, and death shall flee from them.

Revelation 9:7
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Revelation 9:8
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Revelation 9:9
And they had breastplates, as it were, breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Revelation 9:10
And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

R evel a t i o n 9 : 1 1

 

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in th e H e b r e w to ng ue is Abaddon, b u t in th e G r e e k to n g u e h a th h i s n a m e A p o lly o n .

These were obviously added by later Christian editors since Hebrew scribes had no need to say that a word is in their tongue. Neither would they have ever inserted a Greek term in this document since it wasn’t designed for the Greek-speaking Roman invaders (the Kittim).

Revelation 9:11 (reconstructed)

 

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name is Abaddon.

Revelation 9:12
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Revelation 9:13
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Revelation 9:14
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

R evel a t i o n 9 : 1 5
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

The symbol “hour” is used incorrectly here. The long time frame it is associated with simply does not match the nature of events and time frames during the 1600’s, which is the start of the symbolized time frame. This is part of a concerted effort to confuse the true meaning of “hour” and other date and time symbolism and to recast the prophecy to cause people to expect a sudden and miraculous event of very short duration. It is very important to remember that the Old Testament speaks of these events in multiple prophecies and they always speak of the final events that end the Vatican’s power and evil as spanning a day (year).

And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Revelation 9:16
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Revelation 9:17
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Revelation 9:19
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

R evel a t i o n 9 : 2 0
And t h e re st o f the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship d e v ils , a n d idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and[iron], and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

The symbol “rest” is used incorrectly here and should simply be dropped. Also, the use of “devils” here is a later insertion meant to confuse the meaning of this verse, which has nothing to do with Satan or the devil. It instead discusses worshipping man-made objects. Listings of “gold,” “silver,” “brass,” and “iron” from the Book of Daniel were confused here by dropping “iron.” Also, notice that iron was used to change the rod of fire to a rod of iron in verse 12:5, which incorrectly translates to say that the Messiah's rule would be ruthless and uncaring. Notice how the reign of the Vatican can truly be characterized as a rod of iron.

Revelation 9:20 (reconstructed)
And the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

Revelation 9:21
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 10:1
And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
Revelation 10:2
And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
Revelation 10:3
And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

R evel a t i o n 1 0 : 4
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I w a s abou t t o w r i t e : an d I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

One does not write while in mediation or in a vision or dream. This was a Christian addition. This also appears to be an attempt to hide the meaning of “seal.” The “seven thunders” utterances were not written later though, but were sealed “within me” and kept aside for me to reveal at the proper time. The second use of “write” is valid since it refers to post vision/dream.

Revelation 10:4 (reconstructed)
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

R evel a t i o n 1 0 : 5

 

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his [rig h t ] hand to heaven, All other translations but one state that the angel raised his “right” hand to heaven.

 

Revelation 10:5 (reconstructed)

 

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,

Revelation 10:6
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
Revelation 10:7
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Revelation 10:8
And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. Revelation 10:9
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. Revelation 10:10
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Revelation 10:11
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Revelation 11:1
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

R evel a t i o n 1 1 : 2
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the G e n tile s : and the h o ly c ity [mountain]shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

This is a literal and improper use of the symbol “city” and it should have actually said “holy mountain” which is a reference to Mt. Zion and to Wisdom. Also, the word Gentile is an incorrect translation here and elsewhere and should have been translated as “nations.”

Revelation 11:2 (reconstructed)
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the nations: and the holy mountain shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Revelation 11:3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

R evel a t i o n 1 1 : 5
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this m a nne r be k ille d .

This is talking about karma and Justice. Consequently, hurt should have been matched by another hurt. It would be unjust if one was killed for hurting truth and justice. On the other hand, the Vatican is described as killing truth and justice on a grand scale and it is therefore justice for it to be killed by truth and justice. It’s important to notice that the two witnesses (Truth and Justice) come as a pair and hurting one hurts the other, so they both issue fire from their mouths. This is another strong statement about the importance of righteousness to God, which is the zeal for Truth and Justice. Also denotes that words (truth, knowledge, and wisdom) issue from them to cause the righteous indignation and Justice that causes their enemy’s (spirits or ways of greed, falsehood, and injustice) demise. This is another statement supporting the concept of karma and that karma is based upon Truth and Justice, which are the boundaries of the Seven Spirits of God. Manner is also a mistranslation here and should say “way.”

Revelation 11:5 (reconstructed)
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this way be hurt.

Revelation 11:6
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Revelation 11:7
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

R evel a t i o n 1 1 : 8
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, w h e r e a l so o u r L o rd w a s c r u c i f i e d .

The “great city” is Rome/Vatican. “Sodom” symbolizes fornication and “Egypt” symbolizes enslavement. This addition is improperly formatted and references a later Christian theme that simply would never have appeared in an Essene/Yahad/Zealot document. On the other hand, it accidentally puts forth the truth of the source of the lies about the crucifixion of a non-existent European fantasy character.

Revelation 11:8 (reconstructed)
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt.

R evel a t i o n 1 1 : 9
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three day s and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

This was changed to say days instead of years to confuse the meaning of the symbols “days” and “years” and to insert a false timeline to purposely confuse the prophecies. It is quite obvious that “three and half years” exactly matches the 1260 days, 42 months, and “time, times and half a time.” Furthermore, once you understand the symbolism you also understand that this is referring to Truth and Justice being trampled to death during the 1260 years of the Vatican’s open rule of Europe. Even so, the people of Europe refused to let the Vatican bury the concepts of Truth and Justice and managed to gain more control of their governments for a period of time. This modification has spawned a host of false prophecies.

Revelation 11:9 (reconstructed)
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three years and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

Revelation 11:10
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

R evel a t i o n 1 1 : 1 1
And after three day s and an half the Spirit of life fr o m G o d entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; an d gr e a t f e ar f e l l u pon t h e m w h i c h s a w t h e m .

As discussed above for verse 11:9, this was changed to say days instead of years to confuse the meaning of the symbols “days” and “years” and to insert a false timeline to confuse the prophecies. This modification has spawned a host of false prophecies such as the seven-year tribulation. From God is redundant here and was not needed. The ending of this verse uses “fell upon” and “saw” too literally in the wrong context and this is covered in verses 11:12 and 11:13.

Revelation 11:11(reconstructed)

 

And after three years and a half, the Spirit of life entered into them, and they stood upon their feet;

Revelation 11:12
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

R evel a t i o n 1 1 : 1 3
And the same ho ur was there a great earthquake, and the te n t h p a r t o f th e city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven th o u s a n d : and the remnant w e r e a ffr i g h t e d , a n d gave glory to the God of heaven.

This is another misuse of the symbol “hour” since the events that led to the European social upheavals of the 1800’s simply cannot be compressed into such a short period. This change was tied to verse 11:11, which should have said three and half years, so the proper time frame here should have been in the same year (cycle). This is verified in history because the great upheavals (democratic revolutions and civil wars) occurred during the same 360-year cycle, and were tightly clustered before and after the "half year" mark, which was 1820. Also, “the tenth part of the city” is supposedly matching the ten horns, which are always given to the beast, not the city. This was an insertion meant to confuse “third part” and shows that whoever modified this knew what it meant. ”Seven thousand” is too literal and other translations actually say men of “seven thousand names.” Dropping thousand then gives us men of seven names, which perfectly matches the rest of The Apocalypse’s focus on character and “works” and the seven heads, names, and mark(s) of the Beast. Lastly, “affrighted” is too literal and superfluous.

Revelation 11:13 (reconstructed)
And the same year there was a great earthquake, and the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain men of seven names: and the remnant gave glory to the God of heaven.

Revelation 11:14

 

The second woe is past; and behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
