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.

When God came down to earth and took on human form as Jesus, He chose a life of humility. In today’s world, most people, given the freedom to choose, would pursue prestigious careers with high salaries and social status. But Jesus, the incarnate Son of God, embraced the simple life of a carpenter, a humble trade. He didn’t attend any formal schools or elite institutions, yet He possessed divine wisdom that astonished even the most educated.
This humility was evident when Jesus returned to His hometown after fasting for 40 days and preparing to begin His public ministry. On the Sabbath, He entered the synagogue and began to teach. The people who had known Him since childhood were amazed—but also skeptical. The Gospel of Mark records their reaction:
“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.” (Mark 6:1–3)
Because of their unbelief, Jesus responded:
“A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” (Mark 6:4)
They couldn’t reconcile the Jesus they knew, the carpenter’s son, a tradesman from their own village, with the miraculous teacher standing before them. Their unbelief blinded them to His true identity. But this skepticism wasn’t limited to His neighbors; even Jesus’ own earthly brothers, the sons of Mary, struggled to believe that He was the Son of God. At one point, they said to Him,
“Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. No one who wants to become a public figure act in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” Scripture plainly adds, “For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.” (John 7:3–5)
Their words revealed not only doubt, but also a lack of faith in the testimony of their own mother, who had declared that her pregnancy was the result of the Holy Spirit, a divine miracle. Their hearts, like many others, were hardened. Despite growing up with Jesus, they could not see beyond the ordinary to recognize the extraordinary truth: God was in their midst.
Their lack of faith was so profound that Jesus could perform only a few healings there. Scripture says, “He was amazed at their lack of faith.”
This same disbelief extended to the Pharisees, the religious elite of the time. They questioned,
“How does He know so much, having never studied?”
Their pride in their scholarly achievements blinded them to the truth. They couldn’t accept that someone outside their ranks, someone without formal training, could speak with such authority and insight.
But what they failed to see was that Jesus is the Creator Himself, the One who formed the minds they so highly esteemed. He didn’t just observe humanity, He lived it. He experienced every stage of human life, from infancy to adulthood, so that no one could ever say, “God doesn’t understand me.”
To reach every heart, Jesus spoke in a way that transcended education, culture, and status. One of His most powerful teaching methods was the parable, simple stories with eternal truths, designed to reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom of God to those willing to listen and understand.
🌾 What Are Parables, and Why Did Jesus Use Them?
Parables are simple stories with profound spiritual truths. Jesus used them to reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven in a way that invited reflection. Even His own disciples were curious and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
Jesus answered:
“Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have, will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; Though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’”
He continued by quoting the prophecy of Isaiah:
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding; You will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s hearts have become calloused; They hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
Then Jesus turned to His disciples and said:
“But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
💡 The Power of Parables Today
To those who read and reflect deeply on Jesus’ parables, you are blessed. God uses these stories to teach, challenge, and strengthen His faithful followers. The journey of true believers is often bitter with trials, but the lessons in these parables inspire, encourage, and empower us to endure.
Sadly, some claim Christianity without truly understanding it. They may be baptized only to gain church membership, but mere membership is not genuine faith. True belief requires transformation, not just affiliation.
So let us not just hear the parables, let us understand them, live by them, and let them shape our hearts. For in them lies the wisdom of Heaven, spoken by the One who walked among us.

Christians believe in the entire Bible—not just the New Testament. So when it comes to the question of the true Sabbath, we must look at Scripture as a whole. What is the correct day of rest and worship? Does it really matter? Let’s explore and see why it does.
The Ten Commandments were given directly by God to Moses. This wasn’t a casual conversation—it was a divine encounter on Mount Sinai, where God called Moses to receive His instructions for the people of Israel.
In the Book of Exodus, Moses records this powerful moment:
In the third month after the Israelites left Egypt, they arrived in the Sinai Desert. They had departed from Rephidim and camped in front of the mountain. Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying:
“Say this to the house of Jacob and tell the people of Israel: You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now, if you obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession among all nations—for all the earth is Mine. You will be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”
📖 The True Sabbath: A Covenant, Not a Tradition
These are not just stories passed down by grandparents, or words scribbled on a library bulletin board. These are the very words of God, spoken directly to His people and established as a covenant. Some may argue, “But that covenant was only for Israel.” That’s a misunderstanding. The God who spoke then is the same God we serve today. As Scripture declares, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever—and so is Jesus Christ.
God has not lowered His standards. Yet some preachers and denominations claim that when Jesus came to earth, He fulfilled the law so we no longer need to keep it. But is that what Jesus actually said?
Let’s look at His own words in Matthew 5:17–20:
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
Isn’t that clear? Jesus didn’t erase or change a single commandment. Yes, God gave other types of laws—health laws, ceremonial laws, and marriage laws—but let’s focus on the Ten Commandments, because that’s where the true Sabbath is rooted.
The only law Jesus fulfilled and brought to completion was the ceremonial law—the system of animal sacrifices. Those sacrifices pointed to Him. Jesus became the Lamb of God, the final and perfect sacrifice on the cross. That part is finished. But the moral law, including the Sabbath, remains.
Some may choose not to believe this. That’s their right. God does not force anyone into Heaven. But Jesus’ words are unmistakable:
“Until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.”
He also warned:
“Anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Many Christians today have either abandoned or altered the observance of the Sabbath. Yet the true Sabbath remains the seventh day—Saturday, just as the Jewish people have faithfully kept it for generations. According to the biblical calendar, the week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. Unfortunately, modern culture has shifted to treating Monday as the start of the week, but in God's design, Sunday is the first day, making Saturday the seventh.
In God's eyes, the seventh day has never changed. That means by Friday evening, we are to complete our work and prepare our hearts and homes for the Sabbath. When does the Sabbath begin? Scripture points to a sacred rhythm: from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.
God commands:
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but He rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” (Exodus 20:8–11)
And again, God declares:
“The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant.” (Exodus 31:16)
The Sabbath is not a temporary tradition—it is a permanent covenant, a sacred appointment between God and His people. According to Scripture, the observance of the Sabbath begins at sunset on Friday and ends at sunset on Saturday. This follows the biblical pattern of time, where a new day begins in the evening, not at midnight or sunrise as modern culture suggests.
Today’s world often miscalculates time using a 12-hour daytime cycle, but in God’s design, the day ends at sunset, around 6:00 PM, and the evening marks the beginning of the next day. This matters deeply. Jesus Himself warned that those who alter or ignore God’s commandments will be called least in the kingdom, and may not enter at all. Yes, this makes the path to Heaven narrow, but it is clearly marked by truth and obedience.
Jesus came first to preach to the Jewish people because of the covenant God made with Abraham. But when the Jewish nation rejected Him as the Messiah, that covenant was extended to the Gentiles—to all who would believe. Through the ministry of Paul, the blessing of Abraham was opened to the world.
When you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, you are spiritually grafted into that covenant. The Sabbath is not just a Jewish tradition—it is a sign of belonging to God’s people, a day of rest, worship, and renewal. That’s why Abraham is called the father of many nations. His role is symbolic—he represents the beginning of God’s covenant people. And while God the Father is our ultimate Father in Heaven, Abraham’s legacy points to the unity of faith across generations.
You don’t need to convert to Judaism to be part of this covenant. When you honor the seventh-day Sabbath, you become a Judeo-Christian believer—embracing the Jewish roots of the faith and the truth that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah.
Christianity was not born as a new religion. It is the continuation of the faith of Abraham, fulfilled in Jesus. As for the many denominations we see today—that’s a deeper issue, one I’ve explored in other writings, especially in my reflections on the prophecies of Revelation, including the vision of the dragon.
The Sabbath is not just a tradition. It is a commandment, a gift, and a sign of our relationship with God—a weekly reminder that we are His, and He is ours.
