ANGELS OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES (1:20) = SEVEN STARS = Revelation 1:20 = CHRIST’S MINISTERS.

 

“Here the ministers of righteousness are symbolized by the seven stars, which the First and the Last has under His special care and protection.  The Lord Jesus Christ is acquainted with the number of the stars.  He calls them by their names, binds the sweet influence of Pleiades, and looses the bands of Orion.  The ministers of the gospel of Christ are greater blessings to the Church than are the stars to our world. . . He walks in the midst of the golden candlesticks. Thus is symbolized the relation of Christ to His Churches, and the STARS are used to represent HIS MINISTERS. . . These under-shepherds may sleep, but He that keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.”  RH, May 31, 1887.  My Highlighting.

 

APOLLYON (9:11) = ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT.

 

 

BABYLON (14:8; 16:19; 18:10; 18:21) = GREAT CITY.

 

(Note:  Since the “GREAT CITY” = “BABYLON,” In Revelation 11:8, Then “SODOM AND EGYPT” = “BABYLON”).

 

BABYLON THE GREAT (17:5; 18:2) = THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS; ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

 

BEAST (4:7; 6:3; 6:5; 6:7; 11:7; 13:1; 13:2; 13:3; 13:4; 13:11; 13:12; 13:14; 13:15; 13:17; 13:18; 14:9; 14:11; 15:2; 16:2; 16:10; 16:13; 17:3; 17:7; 17:8; 19:19; 19:20; 20:4; 20:10) = (in 4:7) = LION; CALF; MAN; FLYING EAGLE.

BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD (3:14) = See, “JESUS CHRIST.”

 

BOTTOMLESS PIT (9:1-2) = EARTH.

 

That the “bottomless pit” equals the “earth” can be noticed by seeing verse 3, where the “smoke” that came “out of the pit,” verse 2, is “upon the earth.”  The Greek word for “bottomless pit” is “abussos.”  In the “LXX,” in Genesis 1:2, the word “abussos” translates to the Hebrew word “tehom,” meaning “deep,” which is the word that describes the surface of the earth as it appeared on the first day of creation, i.e. “without form, and void.”

 

It also is the same word that is translated “great deep” in Genesis 7:11.  In Jeremiah 4:23-30, it is used to describe the desolate and uninhabited portion of Palestine during the Exile.  In Isaiah 24:21-22, it is translated as “pit” in verse 22, and is definitely referring to “the kings of the earth upon the earth,” verse 21.

 

Getting back to the Greek word “abussos,” as it is used in the New Testament, it is usually described as the dark and chaotic prison abode of the fallen angels and demons who are under the control of God (see Luke 8:31; 2Pe. 2:4; Jude 1:6).  In Revelation 20:1 & 3, it is used to depict the habitat of Satan’s imprisonment during the millennium, which we know to be this earth.

(In 21:2) = NEW JERUSALEM.

(In 21:9) = LAMB’S WIFE = THE CHURCH = See quote below.

(In 22:17) = THE CHURCH.

 

“CHRIST honored the marriage relation by making it also a symbol of the union between Him and His Redeemed Ones.  He Himself is the BRIDEGROOM; the BRIDE is THE CHURCH.”  AH:26; MH:356; RH, October 31, 1899.  My Highlighting.

 

 

CANDLESTICKS (1:12; 1:13; 1:20; 2:1; 11:4) = CHURCHES = Revelation 1:20.

(In 1:20) = CANDLESTICKS.

 

CLOTHED IN SACKCLOTH (11:3) = 1260 YEARS = Revelation 11:2 & 3; 12:6 & 14; 13:5.

 

“When the Bible was proscribed by religious and secular authority; when its testimony was perverted, and every effort made that men and demons could invent to turn the minds of the people from it; when those who dared proclaim its sacred truths were hunted, betrayed, tortured, buried in dungeon cells, martyred for their faith, or compelled to flee to mountain fastnesses and to dens and caves of the earth, -- then indeed did the faithful witnesses prophesy in sackcloth. . . Notwithstanding the Lord’s witnesses were CLOTHED IN SACKELOTH, they continued to prophesy throughout the entire period of 1260 YEARS.  In the darkest times there were faithful men who loved God’s Word, and were jealous for His honor.  To these loyal servants were given wisdom, power, and authority to declare His truth during the whole of this time.”  4SP:190.  My Highlighting.

 

 

DEVIL (2:10; 12:9; 12:12; 20:2; 20:10) =

FALSE DOCTRINE (Jeremiah 51:7; 14:8; 17:2; 18:3) = WINE = FALSE DOCTRINES.

 

“What is that WINE? -- Her FALSE DOCTRINES.”  1MR:302; 1NL:52.2 & 52.5 & 52.6; 2MR:228; 2SM:118; 3SM:405; 4SP:234-235 & 357; 7BC:985.4; 19MR:381-382; 1888M:725 & 1078.6; Ev:365; FLB:176.4; GC88:388 & 536-537; GC:388 & 536-537; Mar:171.4; RH, December 6, 1892, paragraph 15; RH, September 12, 1893, paragraph 20; SpTA01b:16; TM:61-62.

 

FINE LINEN (18:12; 18:16; 19:8; 19:14) = RIGHTEOUS OF SAINTS = (In Rev. 19:8) = RIGHTEOUS OF SAINTS.

 

“ ‘These are they which follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth.  These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.’  Revelation 14:4.  The vision of the prophet pictures them as standing on Mount Zion, girt for holy service, clothed in WHITE LINEN, which is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE SAINTS.”  AA:591.  My Highlighting.

 

FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD (1:5) = (See, “JESUS CHRIST”).

 

 

GRASS OF THE EARTH (9:4) = GOD’S PEOPLE = Revelation 9:4 states:  “And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree. . .” = Since the thing that they can hurt are “those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads,” it stands to reason that the “GRASS” and the “GREEN THING,” and the “TREE,” would be “MY PEOPLE” In Revelation 18:14 and HIS PEOPLE, In Revelation 21:3, and BOTH here; plus the “TREE” here.

 

GOLDEN VIALS (5:8) = PRAYERS OF SAINTS.

HOLY CITY (11:2) = HIS PEOPLE.

 

“To John the exile on lonely Patmos was given a view of the 1260 years during which the papal power was permitted to trample upon God’s Word and oppress HIS PEOPLE.  Said the angel of the Lord: ‘The HOLY CITY shall they tread under foot forty and two months.  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.’  {Rev. 11:2 & 3} The periods here mentioned are the same, alike representing the time in which God’s faithful witnesses remained in a state of obscurity.”  4SP:188.  My Highlighting.

 

HOLY JERUSALEM (21:10) = (See, “GREAT CITY”).

 

 

JESUS (22:16) = ROOT AND OFFSPRING OF DAVID; BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR.  (Note:  since the “MORNING STAR” = JESUS, then Revelation 2:28 = JESUS.

(In 17:14) = LAMB; Lord of lords (Note:  under “LAMB” we can see that this = JESUS CHRIST).

(In 19:16) = LORD OF LORDS.

 

 

LAKE OF FIRE (19:20; 20:10; 20:14; 20:15; 21:8) = SECOND DEATH = Revelation 20:14; 21:8.

 

LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE (21:8) = SECOND DEATH.  (Note:  Since the “LAKE OF FIRE” = “SECOND DEATH,” and “LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE” = “SECOND DEATH,” then these are one and the same thing).

(In 10:6) = 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.

 

(Note:  Since “JESUS CHRIST” “CREATED” Everything = 1Co. 8:6; Eph. 3:9; Col. 1:16-17; Heb. 1:2; 2:10; the “WHO/HIM” = JESUS CHRIST).
