The book of Revelation was written by John, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He was the youngest among them and, in time, became the last living disciple. Many Christians, and even anthropologists, have searched the island of Patmos, hoping to find evidence of his death by locating his bones. Yet none were ever discovered. That rocky island held no great beasts or poisonous creatures capable of consuming him, and God does not permit His prophets to be destroyed in such a way.
This absence has led to the belief that John may have ascended to heaven without experiencing death. Scripture itself hints at this possibility. After His resurrection, during His final appearance before ascending to heaven, Jesus spoke with Peter concerning John.
John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, wrote of himself: “This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, ‘Lord, who is going to betray you?’” When Peter saw John following them, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
Jesus replied: “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”
Because of this, a rumor spread among the believers that John would never die. Yet Jesus did not say that John would not die; He only said,
“If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
And so, with no bones found on Patmos, the mystery remains—did John truly pass away, or was he taken up by God? As John’s bones were never found on the island of Patmos, it is then confirmed that John did not die at all. God allowed John to ascend to Him alive.
The book of Revelation, written by John, is a divine record of prophecy. Some of these prophecies have already been fulfilled, others are unfolding in our time, and many are yet to come. God revealed to John the events that would follow after he completed his writing—visions that encompass the destiny of Israel as His chosen nation, the rise and fall of empires and kingdoms, the spread of Christianity, the shadow of the Dark Ages, the birth of a great nation, the United States of America, and what awaits that nation in the future.
Revelation also speaks of the fate of Christianity in the last days, the pouring out of the final seven plagues, Satan’s sealing of his followers through the image of the beast and the number 666, the sealing of God’s chosen people, the end of the world, and ultimately, the glorious Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
As I have said, I will write on each of these subjects, one by one, according to the understanding God has given me and the revelations He has shown me through dreams and visions.
At this moment, you must ask yourself: where will you stand? Jesus said, “Come, follow me, and take up your cross with bitter trials.” Can you endure the test? Consider those who came before us. John the Baptist was beheaded while Jesus still walked the earth. James, the brother of John who wrote Revelation, was slain by the sword under King Herod’s order. Peter was crucified upside down. The Apostle Paul was flogged, bitten by a deadly serpent, and beaten many times by those who opposed the Word of God.
God is asking you today: Are you certain you can stand the test? The road to heaven is not easy. There are only two choices. Jesus declared, “Either you are for me or against me.” There is no middle ground.
If you are reading these Scriptures and prophecies to strengthen yourself as a true believer and follower of God, then hold fast and continue. Bitter trials are coming, and none will be exempt. But if you endure, my friend, we will share eternal life together in heaven, youthful, everlasting, and glorious.
If you are only curious about what is written here, then read and see God’s love. Learn the truth. And when you are ready, seek out a faithful minister who can baptize you and fill you with the Holy Spirit. Be prepared for the trials that will come. Friends may abandon you. You may lose what you treasure most. You may even face persecution for proclaiming the truth. Yet God is faithful—He does not abandon His people. Some will become martyrs, and others will stand the test until the end.
Let us all brave the fiery storm together. Our enemy, Satan, still possesses power. God did not strip him of it, but only through faith and steadfastness in the Lord can we remain strong and endure to the end. If we do not, then sadly, the fate is to share hell with Satan and his angels.
In John's vision recorded in Revelation 12, he describes a powerful scene: “The woman clothed in white gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to His throne. The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she would be cared for 1,260 days.”
As previously explained, the woman represents God's faithful people, and the male child is Jesus Christ, who will return in glory to rule the nations with divine authority. The phrase “snatched up to God and to His throne” refers to Jesus’ ascension to Heaven after His crucifixion and resurrection.
Satan, in his rebellion, attempted to claim Jesus’ body during the Sabbath, believing that death had triumphed. But he was wrong. Jesus was crucified on Friday, rested in the tomb on the Sabbath, and rose to life on Sunday—a victory witnessed first by Mary Magdalene. Satan thought God was defeated, unable to return to His divine nature. But he failed. God is eternal, all-powerful, and sovereign. Satan, by contrast, is merely a created being, a rebellious creature who cannot overcome the Creator.
This vision reminds us of the cosmic battle between good and evil, and the ultimate triumph of Christ. It is a message of hope, power, and divine justice—one that continues to unfold in the spiritual realm and in our world today.
Now, regarding the phrase “she would be cared for 1,260 days,” this prophetic word points to a long span of years. It represents the period during which the true followers of God—Christians, and later Protestant Christians—endured relentless persecution. Why emphasize the Protestants? And what of the Catholics? Before the divisions that arose in cruelty, the followers of Jesus, after the death of the disciples and apostles, suffered endless trials under emperors and kings.
In Scripture, one day with God is often understood as a thousand years to man. Thus, the symbolic measure of 1,260 days extends across centuries. This period represents 1,260 years of persecution endured by one group of believers—Protestant Christians. Why them? Because Christianity itself became divided, much like the Roman Empire.
After one branch of Rome adopted Christianity as a political and religious pretense, faith was reshaped into a tool for survival and power. What began as the pure devotion of Christ’s followers was entangled with the empire, and from this division arose centuries of struggle, persecution, and the testing of true believers.
When Rome itself faced battles against invading barbarians, the empire was split in two. In 395 A.D., after the death of Emperor Theodosius I, the Roman Empire was officially divided between his two sons: Arcadius, who ruled the Eastern Empire, and Honorius, who ruled the Western Empire. The Western Empire, with its capital at Constantinople, was the first to fall under the Heruli barbarians, the Germanic tribes.
Looking back through history, we encounter what is called the Dark Ages. But what were the Dark Ages? Did the world truly suffer a global darkness, or does this phrase describe something deeper—the spiritual and cultural shadow that fell across humanity during that time?
As this message grows lengthy, I invite you to continue with Part Four. There, I will unfold the prophetic events in greater detail, offering a deeper understanding of how biblical and political events intertwine—just as God has foretold.
