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.

    [§237] Rev 14:3: The New Song of the 144,000 Before the Throne

    This podcast explains the symbolism used by John to describe events on heavenly Mount Zion in Revelation 14:2-3. In verse 2, John heard the voice of God the father represented by the voice of many waters, and the voice of a great thunder. These images depict the power and majesty of God as he speaks from his throne in heaven. John also heard “the voice of harpers harping with their harps.” This imagery reflects the joyful conditions in heaven as the 144,000 Servants stand on Mount Zion in their resurrected and redeemed state. In Revelation 14:3, the 144,000 Servants “sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.” The 144,000 servants sing a new song based on their redeemed status, even though it is also an old song sung in anticipation of their redeemed condition. The 144,000 Servants sing in close proximity before the throne to indicate that these exalted saints stand in a favored condition before God. They also sing in the presence of the four beasts representing the four classes of creation and the 24 Elders who represent the exaltation-worthy saints who were once members of the seven churches in Asia. The 24 Elders were a separate group in prior visions, but in Revelation 14 they are also redeemed and exalted. Therefore, they become numbered among the 144,000 Servants. All 144,000 Servants are redeemed from the earth, which means they achieve a state of godhood as kings and priests who will begin their rule with Christ during the millennium and throughout all eternity.

    [§235] The 144,000 and Millennial Church of the Firstborn

    This podcast provides an in-depth discussion of the Church of the Firstborn, including an explanation about the difference between the general assembly and the Church of the Firstborn. The general assembly is people who qualify for the celestial kingdom but are not exalted. Members of the Church of the Firstborn are exalted people in the highest degree of celestial glory. Membership in the Church of the Firstborn, is synonymous with the 144,000 servants identified in Revelation 14:1. The Church of the Firstborn is the heavenly kingdom of God that will come down to become the millennial kingdom of God on earth. At the gathering of saints at Adam-ondi-Ahman, the ecclesiastical kingdom of God now on earth‒which is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints‒will begin to merge with the Church of the Firstborn, which is both a political and ecclesiastical kingdom. The merger between the ecclesiastical and political kingdoms of God will begin at Adam-ondi-Ahman as the priesthood offices and quorums of the church today are replaced and superseded by the priesthood organized according to family units within the house of Israel. This is known as the Patriarchal Order of the Priesthood. This highest order of the Melchizedek Priesthood will be a theocracy that will govern during the millennium and throughout all eternity as it did in the premortal past.

    [§234] The 144,000 Are Kings, Priests and Saviors on Mt. Zion

    This podcast details the identity of the 144,000 Servants who will stand with the Lamb (Christ) on heavenly Mount Zion in Revelation 14:1. The 144,000 number is symbolic and represents people who have received the fullness of the Melchizedek Priesthood, also known as the Patriarchal Order of the Priesthood. They are exaltation-worthy saints who have the seal of God and their forehead. This means they have their calling and election made sure. They also keep the exalting temple covenants they have made or that they will make after first standing with Christ on Mount Zion at the end of the Second Woe. They are kings and queens, priests and priestesses unto the most high God, which is to say they have achieved godhood. The 144,000 Servants Come from four classes of people that include exaltation-worthy saints who (1) are alive at the time of the Second Woe and will be transfigured or translated and taken up to mount Zion as mortals in the flesh; (2) have died since the resurrection of Jesus Christ and will be resurrected to stand on Mount Zion in their resurrected condition; (3) resurrected with Christ in the meridian of time and will stand on Mount Zion in their resurrected condition; and (4) people translated since the resurrection of Jesus Christ, including the Lost Ten Tribes who will stand on Mount Zion in their translated condition. The 144,000 Servants are also saviors on Mount Zion who bring as many people as will come into the Church of the Firstborn. They do so, as they build temples and perform exalting ordinances that qualify people for membership in the Church of the Firstborn. In anticipation of the end of the Second Woe‒when these 144,000 servants will stand with Christ on Mount Zion‒there will be a gathering of saints at Adam-ondi-Ahman 3½ years before the Second Coming where the Patriarchal Order of the Priesthood will be organized according to the families and tribes of the house of Israel.

    MAR 3

    [§233] Rev 14:1: The Lamb Stands on Mount Zion with 144,000

    This podcast explains the symbolism used by John in Revelation 14:1. This verse begins a new vision after Revelation chapter 13 concluded with John's description about the evils of the Second Beast during the last 3½ years before the Second Coming called the great tribulation. Revelation 14 begins in this same timeframe without interruption. However, Revelation 14:1 describes a heavenly scene of blessedness, saying: “I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.” The Lamb of God in this verse represents Jesus Christ. Mount Sion (Zion) is located in heaven above the earth and beyond the horrors of Armageddon as the Second Woe comes to an end. Christ stands on heavenly Mount Zion with the 144,000 Servants first identified in Revelation 7. These exaltation-worthy saints stand with Jesus Christ on Mount Zion because this is the place where the marriage of the Lamb will occur. The 144,000 Servants are the bride of Christ and he is the proverbial bridegroom. The 144,000 servants have the Father's name written in their foreheads to signify that they belong to him in contrast to the mark of the Second Beast (666) that people have in their hand or forehead.

    [§232] Overview of the 144,000 on Mount Zion, Great Tribulation and Harvest

    This podcast provides an overview of Revelation Chapter 14. This chapter is divided into three separate visions. In Revelation 14:1-5, John describes the 144,000 Servants of God standing with the Lamb (Jesus Christ) on Mount Zion in heaven. These 144,000 servants are exaltation-worthy saints that lived and died in any age of the earth up to the time of the second coming. In the second part of John's vision in Revelation 14, three angels make proclamations about earthly events that have been or will be fulfilled as preconditions to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. They include the preaching of the everlasting gospel in all the world as proclaimed by the first of seven angels in Revelation 14:6-7. A second angel proclaims the spiritual fall of Modern Babylon in Revelation 14:8, which coincides with the gathering of saints at Adam-ondi-Ahman. Finally, Judgments are pronounced upon people that have the mark of the Second Beast in Revelation 14:9-11. In Revelation 14:12-13, John pronounces a blessing upon all righteous saints with the testimony of Christ who live and die in the Lord during the Great Tribulation. The third part of John's vision in Revelation 14 describes the harvest that will occur at the end of the Second Woe. In Revelation 14:14-16, at the direction of God, the Father, Jesus Christ will harvest all exaltation-worthy saints that have ever lived upon the earth. This first part of the harvest corresponds to the harvest of wheat described by Christ in the parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13. In Revelation 14:17-20, Christ will harvest or reap all mortal sons of perdition and prepare them for burning during the Third Woe. This second part of the harvest corresponds to the harvest of tares. John symbolically describes this harvest as a great winepress into which fully ripened grapes are cast to be trodden by Jesus Christ alone.

    [§231] Rev 13:18: The Number of the Second Beast Is 666

    This podcast explains the symbolism used by John the Revelator in Revelation 13:18, which states: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” The wisdom referred to in this verse is the wisdom of God. This phrase is a voice of latter-day warning for people to understand and protect themselves against the wickedness and evil of the Second Beast in Revelation chapter 13. The dangers of the Second Beast are symbolically represented by the number of the beast, which people are expected to count or calculate. The number of the beast is also the number of a man, meaning it is worldly or evil‒not godly. The name and number of the beast is 666. This number has led to many different and erroneous interpretations using Gematria as explained in this podcast. The number 666 can be correctly interpreted with reference to the symbolism of the numbers themselves. The number six (6) symbolizes evil because it is one short of the perfect number seven (7). When combined with itself three (3) times, the 666 yields a trinity of evil or perfect imperfection. The name and number, therefore, represents the highest or fullest state of evil to be achieved by the Second Beast as of the Second Coming, which is the chronological context for Revelation 13:18.

    FEB 22

    [§230] Rev 13:17: No One Can Buy or Sell Without the Beast’s Mark

    This podcast explains the symbolism and meaning of the words in Revelation 13:17, which say: “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” This is John’s prophecy that will be fulfilled during the last 3½ years before the Second Coming in the period of time called the Great Tribulation. The Second Beast will control the world's economy during the Great Tribulation. His power will be so great that only people who symbolically have his mark, name or number in their right hand or in their forehead will be able to buy and sell. The model or precedent for this economic control can be seen in the Roman empire when the emperors issued emperor certificates to prove that people had made sacrifices to the Emperor. Those that failed to do so were prevented from buying and selling. A similar precedent can be seen in the Holy Roman Empire, when the popes issued ecclesiastical canons that proscribed heretics of the church from buying and selling. Given the increasing amount of buying and selling that occurs on the Internet, it is not hard to imagine how the Second Beast will be able to prevent people from buying and selling in the worldwide marketplace of Modern Babylon if they do not fit the profile or computer algorithm of the Secret Combinations of the Second Beast that increasingly control worldwide E-commerce.

  8. [§229] Rev 13:16: The Wicked Receive the Mark of the Beast

    FEB 17

    [§229] Rev 13:16: The Wicked Receive the Mark of the Beast

    This podcast explains the meaning of the images used by John the Revelator to describe events that will occur as people worship the Second Beast in Revelation 13 in the modern world. In Revelation 13:16, John tells us that the “[Second Beast] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.” The mark is analogous to a brand placed on animals, as well as slaves in the ancient Roman Empire. Today, people receive the symbolic mark as they become like the Second Beast through the form of their worship. The mark they receive of their own accord, identifies them as the property of the Second Beast. John identified three pairs of wicked people who receive the mark of the Second Beast for a total of six groups. The number six symbolizes evil because it is one short of the perfect and sacred number seven. The three pairs of people in this verse identify people from all walks of life as worshipers of the Second Beast. The placement of the symbolic mark in either the right hand or in the forehead is also symbolically significant. People who receive the mark in their right hand serve and strengthen the Second Beast, while people with the mark in their forehead are fully devoted to the Second Beast with all their heart and mind. The mark of the Second Beast in the forehead is the mirror opposite of the seal of the Living God that people receive when they have their calling and election made sure to exaltation. (Rev 7:1-3) Therefore, people who receive the mark of the Second Beast in the forehead are some of perdition. Wicked people who serve the Second Beast without the same degree of devotion as sons of perdition receive the mark of the Second Beast in their right hand to indicate that they qualify for the telestial kingdom.
