This podcast is based on the research, writings, and content created by John E. Cassinat found principally in his two-volume book entitled The Book of Revelation Doctrinal Commentary: Unveiling Jesus Christ. The book focuses on the unveiling of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of John the Revelator. The podcast sets forth the views and opinions of theologians and Biblical scholars from many different religions, although the doctrinal views of the apocalypse predominantly align with those found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. John the Revelator’s symbolism and images are explained with reference to multiple Old Testament books, including Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Joel and Zechariah. Jesus Christ is the major focus of this podcast from the time of his premortal existence through the time of the celestialization of the earth. Within these broad parameters, podcast topics will include a discussion of the creation of spirit bodies in premortality; the premortal conflict between Lucifer (Satan) and Jehovah (Christ) during the grand council in heaven and the war in heaven; Christ’s physical creation of multiple worlds; the mortal ministry of Christ among the Jews and the establishment of his ancient church; the postmortal ministry of Christ’s spirit in paradise after His crucifixion; the post-resurrection ministry of Christ among the Jews on the eastern hemisphere, the Nephites on the western hemisphere and the lost ten tribes of Israel; the ongoing conflicts between Christ and Satan in the earthly kingdoms of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and the modern nations of the earth; the great apostasy that followed the apostolic period; the restoration of Christ’s latter-day church in preparation for His Second Coming and the resurrection of His saints; and Christ’s millennial reign of peace on the renewed and paradisiacal earth for 1000 years, followed by the final defeat of Satan’s kingdom at the end of the earth. These topics and many more will be discussed in this podcast as the many symbols and apocalyptic images of Saint John the Divine are explained to unveil Jesus Christ.

    [§276] Rev 16:18: The Third and Greatest Earthquake in History

    This podcast explains the imagery and symbolism used by John to describe cataclysmic events during the seventh Vial Plague of the Third Woe in Revelation 16:18-20. These verses say: “And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.” The voices, thunders, and lightnings in Revelation 16:18 symbolize the majesty and glory of God, as well as the exaltation-worthy and redeemed saints identified as the 144,000 Servants, who stand with Christ on Mount Zion in Revelation 14:1. The saints rejoice at the final events leading to the Second Coming. The great earthquake is the third of three earthquakes described by John in the Book of Revelation. The first earthquake occurs at the end of the sixth seal and start of the seventh seal in Revelation 6:12, 14, when mountains are moved out of their places. The second earthquake is localized in the area of Jerusalem. It occurs in the same hour that the Two Witnesses are resurrected in Jerusalem, as described by John in Revelation 11:13. The third and greatest earthquake of all time will transform the earth’s topography as mountains disappear because they are made low and valleys are exalted. These topographic changes will occur as the Western and Eastern Hemispheres quickly combine and reunite into a single large continent. The single landmass or supercontinent that existed from the time of the physical creation until the time of the universal flood in the days of Noah will be restored. This podcast describes the geologic forces that caused the continents to quickly divide no later than the days of Peleg in Genesis 10:25. This sudden change in the earth’s topography can be explained by the Hydroplate Theory hypothesized by Dr. Walt Brown. The reuniting of the continents at the time of the great earthquake in Revelation 16:18 will be as equally sudden as the topographic changes at the time of the flood. The final great earthquake will cause the earth to reel to and fro like a drunken man and the stars to fall according to many scriptural predictions. This podcast also describes other physical changes to the earth that will occur during the seventh vial plague. In this time, the Mount of Olives will cleave and separate to the north and south such that a new east-west running valley will form. A fountain of water will also flow from the foundation of the temple in Jerusalem toward the Mediterranean Sea and also through the new valley in the Mount of Olives toward the Jordan river. This continuous flow of water will eventually heal the waters of the Dead Sea and give it new life. All this is part of the renewal process that will transfigure or transform the earth into the same paradisiacal and terrestrial conditions that existed on the earth before the fall of Adam.

  2. [§274] Rev 16:17-21: Seventh Vial: The Second Coming and Final Plagues

    [§274] Rev 16:17-21: Seventh Vial: The Second Coming and Final Plagues

    This podcast explains and interprets the events of the seventh Vial Plague, which John describes in Revelation 16:17 saying: “The seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.” This last and final Vial Plague is poured into the air to reflect that this plague will attack the entire domain and dominion of Satan, who is known as the Prince of the Power of the Air. (Ephesians 2:2) This plague is also an attack on all evil spirits who, according to tradition, have their existence in the air because they lack physical bodies and cannot step their feet on the ground. Preparations for this final Vial Plague occur during the fifth Vial Plague when an angel pours out his plague upon the seat of the Beast and during the sixth Vial Plague when an angel pours out his plague on the Euphrates river in preparation for the kings of the east (hosts of heaven) to engage in Spiritual Armageddon against these evil spirits (hosts of hell) who have their symbolic domain in the air. The seventh Vial Plague begins and ends in Revelation 16:17 to reflect how quickly this final Vial Plague will complete both the spiritual and physical cleansing of the earth. Thus, in Revelation 16:17, the voice of God the Father is heard from his throne in the temple in heaven, saying: "It is done." These words are the antitype for the last words spoken by Christ from the cross in at the time of his crucifixion when he said "it is finished," just before he gave up the ghost. No details are given in Revelation 16:17 as to what was done. However, angels explain to John the details of what will be done during the seventh Vial Plague in Revelation chapters 17-19.

    [§271] Rev 16:14: Spirits of Devils Gather for Battle of Great God

    This podcast provides a continuing explanation of the sixth Vial Plague, John describes in Revelation 16:14-16. These verses describe the three evil spirits like frogs that come out of the mouth of the Dragon (Satan), the Beast (Cain), and the False Prophet (Judas) in Revelation 16:13. In verse 14, John tells us that this unholy trinity “are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” In this verse, the kings of the earth and of the whole world refer to the unembodied and disembodied spirit sons of perdition who rule like kings over the earth with great power and dominion. Isaiah 24:21 refers to them as the hosts of the high ones, reflecting their pride and their spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph 6:12) The unholy trinity gathers all unembodied and disembodied spirit sons of perdition to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. This is Spiritual Armageddon. The name of this battle or war is derived from the fact that Christ will personally be involved as a combatant in this battle between the hosts of hell and the hosts of heaven. (Rev 19:11-14) In Revelation 16:15, Christ speaks, saying: “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” This is an expression that Christ will come suddenly and unexpectedly to those who are unprepared even on the eve of the seventh Vial Plague when the Second Coming will occur. The blessedness expressed in this verse is the third of seven beatitudes in the Book of Revelation. Those who watch and head this exhortation will keep their garments clean and white representing their worthiness to survive the final plagues of the seventh Vial Plague. Those who fail to heed this exhortation will not retain their garments of righteousness. They will be ashamed and destroyed at the Second Coming. Finally, in Revelation 16:16 John identifies Armageddon (Har Megiddo: the mountain of Megiddo) as the location of Spiritual Armageddon. The name may be used symbolically based on the many decisive battles of the past that have occurred in this location. Even if the name is symbolic, there will be a literal decisive battle during the seventh Vial Plague when the hosts of heaven will defeat all spirit sons of perdition.

    [§270] The Spirit of Judas Iscariot Is the False Prophet

    This podcast describes the identity of the False Prophet mentioned by John in Revelation 16:13. Judas Iscariot is the False Prophet. His disembodied spirit is the spiritual head of all disembodied spirit sons of perdition in the last days, just as the disembodied spirit of Cain is the spiritual head of all disembodied spirit sons of perdition before the restoration of the gospel in 1830. Similarly, Satan (the Dragon) is the spiritual head of all unembodied spirit sons of perdition. For Judas to be the spiritual head of disembodied spirit sons of perdition, he must also be a son of perdition. This podcast provides many illustrations, examples, and scriptural evidences that Judas did become a son of perdition at the time he betrayed the Savior. This podcast also compares the characteristics and evil dispositions of Cain, who was perdition, and Judas‒whom Jesus specifically identified as a son of perdition. Finally, this podcast addresses the concerns of some scholars and theologians who do not believe Judas became a son of perdition because he did not have the Gift of the Holy Ghost at the time of his betrayal. The scriptures indicate that Judas had his sure witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ from the Father, which means he could and did commit the unpardonable sin when he betrayed the Savior, shed Christ's innocent blood, and put him to an open shame. Jesus knew from the beginning that Judas was a devil, and a son of perdition. Concerning his betrayal, Jesus said that it would have been better for Judas if he had never been born. This clearly puts Judas in the same class as all other unembodied spirit sons of perdition who can never be born.

  5. [§269] The Spirit of Cain Is the Head of the Beast

    May 26

    [§269] The Spirit of Cain Is the Head of the Beast

    Revelation 16:13 refers to the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet in a single verse. The Dragon is a symbol for the unembodied spirit of Satan who stands at the head of all other unembodied spirit sons of perdition who rebelled with him during the Grand Council in heaven. The Beast and the False Prophet are similar symbols. This podcast explains that the Beast is a symbol for the disembodied spirit of Cain, who became perdition when he murdered his brother Abel. At that time, Satan promised to give Cain his power and authority in Moses 5:30. This promise was fulfilled when Cain became Master Mahan during his mortal life. When Cain died, his disembodied spirit also became the head of Satan’s kingdom in spirit prison of the postmortal spirit world. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Cain passed back through the veil of death to become the spiritual head of the Beast on earth as of 70 AD in Revelation 13. As Jesus Christ and righteous resurrected people passed back through the veil between the living and the dead, so also Cain and his disembodied spirit followers were able to do the same. In this way there was an opposition in all these things. According to Revelation 13:2, Satan (the Dragon) then gave Cain (the Beast) “his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Cain’s power on earth as the spiritual head of the Beast will continue until the Seventh Vial Plague of the Third Woe, when the disembodied spirit of Cain shall be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone during Spiritual Armageddon. (Rev 19:20)

  6. [§267] Rev 16:13: Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs

    May 24

    [§267] Rev 16:13: Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs

    This podcast explains the imagery used by John in Revelation 16:13 to describe the spiritual cleansing of the earth that will begin with Spiritual Armageddon during the sixth Vial Plague of the Third Woe. In this verse, John saw “three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.” The unclean spirits like frogs symbolize the many myriads of unembodied and disembodied spirit sons of perdition who have their unseen influence and power on the earth. This imagery comes from the plague of frogs in ancient Egypt. In the days of Moses, frogs were worshipped and the Egyptian goddess Heqet had the form of a woman with a frog head. From her nostrils came life and immortality. Nevertheless, Moses caused a plague of frogs in Egypt and God showed his power over these false gods of the Egyptians when all the frogs died and left a great stench in the nostrils of all the people. In John’s vision, three types of unclean spirits symbolically come out of the mouth (nostrils) of the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet. The Dragon represents Satan. He is the spiritual head of the first class of unclean spirits, which are the unembodied spirit sons of perdition that have followed him since the premortal existence. The Beast represents Cain‒the Son of Adam who killed his brother Abel. The disembodied spirit of Cain is the spiritual head of all disembodied spirit sons of perdition who died as mortal sons of perdition from the time of Adam until the gospel was restored in 1830. The False Prophet represents Judas Iscariot, who betrayed the Savior and became the type for all traitors to the truth. The disembodied spirit of Judas is the spiritual head of all disembodied spirit sons of perdition who become apostates of the latter-day church and die as mortal sons of perdition from the time of the restoration in 1830 until the earths spiritual cleansing begins during the sixth Vial Plague of the Third Woe.

  7. [§266] Rev 16:12: The Kings of the East Prepare for Battle

    May 19

    [§266] Rev 16:12: The Kings of the East Prepare for Battle

    This podcast explains the symbolism used by John to describe the sixth Vial Plague of the Third Woe in Revelation 12:16, which states: “And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.” In this verse, the kings of the east prepare for Spiritual Armageddon. The kings of the east are the 144,000 servants who will stand with Jesus Christ (the Lamb) on Mount Zion in Revelation 14:1. They are a heavenly host of exalted and exaltation-worthy saints who will accompany Jesus Christ at his second coming, which shall be as the rising sun in the east. These kings of the east are subordinate kings to the "king of Kings." During the sixth Vial Plague, the great river Euphrates symbolically dries up to indicate that these heavenly kings of the east shall face no impediment in their battle against the hosts of hell during the spiritual battle of Armageddon. The hosts of hell consist of both disembodied and unembodied spirit sons of perdition who will be defeated during seventh Vial Plague in Revelation 19:19-20, and Revelation 20:1-3, respectively. John identifies the great river Euphrates because it was the historical boundary between the promised lands given to Abraham on the west side of the river. The kings of the east will symbolically cross the Euphrates River on a dried riverbed to symbolize their easy defeat of Satan’s hosts of hell. This spiritual reality is foreshadowed by the experience of Joshua when he led 600,000 Israelites across the Jordan river into the promised land to battle against the indigenous peoples in Canaan. On that occasion, the waters of the Jordan River dried up so the Israelites faced no impediment when they conquered the promised land.

    May 17

    [§264] Rev 16:10-16: The Fifth and Sixth Vials Are Directed at Evil Spirits

    This podcast provides an overview of the fifth and sixth Vial Plagues described by John in Revelation 16:10-16. The overview provides context for a more detailed discussion about the fifth Vial Plague that John describes in Revelation 16:10-11, as follows: “And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.” The fifth Vial Plague is antithetically symmetrical with the fifth trumpet plague, which means they are mirror opposites. During the fifth trumpet plague (First Woe), both unembodied and disembodied spirit sons of perdition (“hosts of hell”) are loosed from the bottomless pit with great power and influence in Revelation 9:1-12 to spread spiritual darkness on the physical earth. During the fifth vial plagues, these same hosts of hell have spiritual darkness poured out on them, on the seat (throne) of Satan. This torments them and causes them to gnaw their tongues in pain. Where once these hosts of hell were loosed from the bottomless pit to bring spiritual darkness on the physical world during the First Woe, the tables are reversed and they are tormented by spiritual darkness in preparation for the spiritual battle of Armageddon that will follow. When the host of hell are tormented by the spiritual darkness in their domain, they do not and cannot repent for they are sons of perdition and have committed the unpardonable sin. Therefore, they curse or blaspheme God, whom they know to be the source of their torment. This is shown by the New Testament account of the encounter between Jesus Christ and the man from Gadarenes who was possessed and tormented by a legion of spirits. This legion of evil spirits knew Christ and asked if he had come to torment them before the time? The evil spirits not only knew the Savior as the one who would torment them, but they knew the time of their torment was to be the fifth Vial Plague of the Third Woe. This podcast also provides an overview of Spiritual Armageddon, including the preparations for the battle in Revelation 16:12-16, and the final outcome of that battle where disembodied spirit sons of perdition are cast into the lake of fire in Revelation 19:19-20, while unembodied spirit sons of perdition are cast into the bottomless pit in Revelation 20:1-3.
