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.

  1. [§284] Rev 17:6: The Great Whore Is Drunk with the Blood of Saints

    [§284] Rev 17:6: The Great Whore Is Drunk with the Blood of Saints

    This podcast explains the imagery and symbolism used by John in Revelation 17:6-7, which states: “I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.” The woman drunken with the blood of the saints and martyrs is the Great Whore of false religion, also known as Babylon the Great and the mother of harlots and abominations. (Rev 17:5) Thousands of Christians were martyred during the ancient Roman Empire, including “saints” who were tortured and killed as heretics during the middle and dark ages, as well as Protestant reformers who were subjected to torture and death during the Catholic inquisitions. All these persecutions and murders foreshadow the latter-day murder and killing of saints in the modern era, by the Great Whore primarily during the last 3½ years of the Great Tribulation before the Second Coming. When John’s angelic guide sees that John is astonished by the bloodlust of the Great Whore, he promises to tell John about the mystery and history of the woman responsible for the murders of saints during the ancient Roman Empire, and who subsequently evolves into and becomes the Great Whore drunken with the blood of saints in the last days.

  2. [§283] Rev 17:5: The Name of the Great Whore Is Babylon the Great

    6d ago

    [§283] Rev 17:5: The Name of the Great Whore Is Babylon the Great

    This podcast explains the imagery and symbolism used by John in Revelation 17:5 to describe the Great Whore of false religion in the last days. He states that “upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” The names in this verse are written on the forehead of the Great Whore to indicate that she displays herself prominently in the world today according to the ancient tradition in Rome where prostitutes had a brand or inscription in their forehead to identify who and what they were to attract interested patrons. The word mystery is either an adjective that describes the other name-titles in Revelation 17:5 or it is also a name and title for the Great Whore. In either case, the mystery is a hidden meaning or spiritual secret about false religions in the last days that can be known only through the spirit of revelation. The great whore is also called Babylon the Great, which alludes to ancient Babylon. In Hebrew, Babylon comes from the word Babel, meaning confusion associated with the confusion of tongues from the tower of Babel. More anciently, the word Babylon probably comes from the word Bab-il, which means the Gate of God. This contradictory term refers to the wicked and apostate kingdom of Nimrod. He established an idolatrous kingdom whose ideals still survive in the false religions of the modern world. Hence, the Great Whore is called Babylon the Great. The Great Whore is also called the mother of harlots and abominations. She is the mother church who gives birth to many other false churches who spiritually fornicate, which makes them harlots also. Their spiritual activities are called abominations. Hence, the mother of these many harlots is also the mother of abominations.

  3. Rev 17 [§281] Rev 17:3: A Woman Sits on a Scarlet Beast [Roman Empire]

    Rev 17 [§281] Rev 17:3: A Woman Sits on a Scarlet Beast [Roman Empire]

    This podcast explains the imagery and symbolism used by John in Revelation 17:4-5 to describe the history of the Great Whore of false religion who sits on many waters with worldwide dominion in the latter days. In Revelation 17:3, John’s angelic guide physically transported John “in the spirit into the wilderness.” The wilderness was a desolate place representing the habitation of the Great Whore, who is both barren and desolate as the wilderness in which she dwells. In Revelation 17:3, John “saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” The scarlet coloured beast is the ancient Roman empire, which is also a symbolic synonym for the First Beast in Revelation 13:1. This connection is evidenced by the seven heads and 10 horns present on both beasts, as well as the names of blasphemy imprinted on both images. The blasphemy in both cases relates to false religion in the Roman empire. The woman of false religion in Revelation 17:3 sat upon‒and was thus supported by‒the ancient Roman empire represented by the scarlet coloured beast. The beast is red to represent the blood of martyred saints who were persecuted and died in the ancient Roman empire. Revelation 17:4 coincides in time with the establishment of the Constantinian Church of Rome early in the fourth century AD. At that time, the persecuted Christian religion became the state religion in the Roman empire. The priests and clergymen in this apostate Christian religion were lavished with gifts, position, and power in the Roman empire. John describes this evolutionary transition in Revelation 17:4 as a “woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls.” The evolving woman in Revelation 17:4 also had “a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.” This means that throughout the long period of the Great Apostasy, this woman of false religion spiritually fornicated with emperors and then governments in the emerging nations of Europe until the time of the Protestant Reformation. At that time, this mother church illegitimately gave birth to a large number of other false religions. She thus became the mother of abominations and the Great Whore of False Religion in the modern era since 1830.

  4. [§280] Rev 17:1-2: Overview of the Great Whore [False Religion]

    Jun 16

    [§280] Rev 17:1-2: Overview of the Great Whore [False Religion]

    This podcast explains the imagery and symbolism used by John in Revelation 17:1-2, which say: “AND there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” The seventh Vial Plague of the Third Woe at the Second Coming is the context and setting for these verses. Here, an angelic guide explains to John the final judgment or destruction of the Great Whore who represents false religion. She sits upon many waters because she has dominion over all the earth among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people. The Great Whore is symbolically synonymous with one of the two horns on the Second Beast in Revelation 13. The other horn of power on the Second Beast is symbolically the same as the kings of the earth identified in Revelation 17:1-2. The Great Whore commits spiritual fornication with the kings of the earth who represent political and secular leaders in the modern era. These governmental leaders gain power as they yield to the influence of false religion. With that power, and using the moral compass of false religion, these leaders enact laws and take civic actions that morally degrade society and harden people's hearts against the true worship of God. Thus, they drink the wine of her fornication and become increasingly intoxicated in sin. The kings of the earth lead the modern world down the same path.

  5. [§279] Rev 16:21: An Exceedingly Great Hail Falls on Men

    Jun 14

    [§279] Rev 16:21: An Exceedingly Great Hail Falls on Men

    This podcast explains the relationship between the great earthquake identified by John in Revelation 16:18-20 and the great hailstorm that he describes in Revelation 16:21. Using the flood in the days of Noah as a model, type, and foreshadow, I theorize in this podcast that that the hailstones during the greatest earthquake of all time will come as a result of the rapid changes in the earth’s topography that will reunite the western and eastern hemispheres that were separated during the universal flood. Dr. Walt Brown’s “hydroplate theory” postulates that a great deal of hail and freezing rain fell at the time of the flood and this serves as a theoretical model for what will occur during the seventh Vial Plague as well. Revelation 16:21 states that “there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.” Although geologic forces can explain the presence of hail during the greatest earthquake of all time, the hailstones will surgically fall upon wicked people as a judgment from God. The magnitude of God’s judgment is reflected by the weight of the hailstones which John identifies as one talent each. A talent could be anything between 50 and 100 pounds. People afflicted by this final great plague of hail‒probably mingled with blood and fire‒will not repent. Instead, they will curse God and blaspheme his name because they know he is the source of this judgment and their punishment. Their death by hailstone is the great antitype for the Mosaic law which required people to be stoned to death if they cursed and blasphemed God.

  6. [§276] Rev 16:18: The Third and Greatest Earthquake in History

    Jun 9

    [§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.

  7. [§274] Rev 16:17-21: Seventh Vial: The Second Coming and Final Plagues

    Jun 7

    [§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.

  8. [§271] Rev 16:14: Spirits of Devils Gather for Battle of Great God

    Jun 2

    [§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.
