So here’s the point. See when Jesus says that in the Book of Revelation, we’re in the West, and if you don’t understand a little Jewish history, all you got to do is understand a little Jewish history about the Temple, you say “that’s what Jesus is talking about.” Everybody in his day would have understood it. Because the Temple, even though the Book of Revelation’s written in 95 A.D., the Temple was still be fresh on people’s mind. So a couple of things about the Book.
John, uh, one of the early father’s says that John, I may even have that quote here somewhere but if I don’t I can, I can share it with ya, that John actually would have worn the miter of the priesthood. In other words, let me ask you this, John, the trial of Jesus. Who gets into the trial? John. Who gets Peter into the trial? John. Can I ask you question? How did John get into the trial?
And the answer is he knew the priest, he knew the priestly family, he knew the people that were there. So John writes the Book of Revelation from a priestly perspective and let me tell you something else he does. Ready? He uses all kinds of symbolisms of the feasts of Israel in the Book. And again most people are never going to catch this “til you know the feasts and you understand for example, in one place it talks about the, a multitude that has come out of great tribulation waving palm branches in their hands. That’s the “Feast of Tabernacles.”
And these martyrs have come out of every nation. Tribulation, the Tabernacles is all the nations that celebrate. Uh, let me give you another one. Do you remember reading in Revelation where it says that Michael the Archangel comes down and hurls the devil out of the second heaven and casts him to the earth? That’s the “Day of Atonement” when they would take “Azazel,” the scapegoat and they would throw it off of the mountain to its death to meet its doom.
