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. [§248] Rev 14:17: A Third Angel Stands Ready to Reap the Wicked

    14M AGO

    [§248] Rev 14:17: A Third Angel Stands Ready to Reap the Wicked

    This podcast explains the symbolism used by John in Revelation 14:17-18 to describe the harvest of mortal sons of perdition at the end of the Second Woe, saying: “And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.” Jesus Christ is the other angel who comes out of the heavenly temple. He is the third Harvest Angel with the sharp sickle. God the Father is the Fourth Angel that comes out of the altar with power over fire. He directs Christ to carry out this first harvest of the wicked. The altar is a symbolic reference to the brazen altar of sacrifice where sin offerings were made for the redemption of sin in the ancient temple at Jerusalem. When the angel with power over fire comes out from the altar, the eternal flame of that altar is symbolically extinguished to represent that there can be no redemption of, or forgiveness for, the sons of perdition who will be destroyed as a class during this stage of the harvest at the end of the Second Woe. The fully ripened condition of the grapes indicates that these are mortal sons of perdition‒the most wicked class of sinners on earth.

  2. [§246] Rev 14:14: A First Angel Stands Ready to Reap the Righteous

    5D AGO

    [§246] Rev 14:14: A First Angel Stands Ready to Reap the Righteous

    This podcast explains the imagery used by John to describe the harvest of exaltation-worthy saints at the end of the Second Woe in Revelation 14:14-16. These verses say: “And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.” The Son of Man sitting on the white cloud is Jesus Christ as he sits enthroned on heavenly Mount Zion. The golden crown on his head is a symbol of his forthcoming victory during the harvest of righteous saints like wheat gathered into the barn for safekeeping. He has in his hand a sharp sickle symbolizing his power to harvest the righteous saints. The other angel is God the Father who comes out from the heavenly temple representing his glorified residence. The Father speaks with a loud voice and directs Christ to thrust in his sickle and harvest the ripened earth. At the direction of the Father, Christ thrusts in his sickle and reaps the earth thereby removing from its face all exaltation-worthy saints (the 144,000 Servants) who then stand with him on Mount Zion as described in Revelation 14:1.

  3. [§245] Rev 14:14-20: The Four Angels of the Harvest at Christ’s Coming

    APR 5

    [§245] Rev 14:14-20: The Four Angels of the Harvest at Christ’s Coming

    This podcast provides an overview of the role played by the four Harvest Angels described by John in Revelation 14:14-20. In this podcast I compare and contrast the four Harvest Angels with the angels described by Jesus Christ in his parable of the wheat and the tares recorded in Matthew 13. This parable compliments and adds details to the harvest that will occur at the end of the Second Woe as described by John in Revelation 14. In Matthew 13 and again in Revelation 14, the wheat represents exaltation-worthy saints that are harvested and taken up to stand with Christ on Mount Zion where they become his bride. (Rev 14:1) The tares in Matthew 13 represent mortal sons of perdition and telestial-worthy people who will be harvested as tares after the wheat harvest is complete. When sons of perdition are harvested at the end of the Second Woe, they will be metaphorically bundled and then burned during the final plagues of the Third Woe. Telestial-worthy people are also tares and they will be harvested and burned during the third Woe in Revelation 16. In Revelation 14, the sons of perdition are described as grapes that will be harvested when fully ripe. During the Second Woe harvest, Christ will crush all mortal sons of perdition like grapes in the winepress of God’s almighty wrath. This podcast also briefly explains the Parable of the Ten Virgins found in Matthew 25. This parable also compliments the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares. Both describe events, including the marriage of Christ to the exaltation-worthy “wheat” at the end of the Second Woe.

    [§243] Rev 14:12: Saints of Zion Survive the Great Tribulation

    This podcast explains the symbolism and meaning of the words written by John in Revelation 14:12-13, which state: “Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.” The patience of saints will be required for righteous people who will live during the Great Tribulation before the Second Coming. Agents of the Second Beast will seek their lives because they refuse to worship the idols and image of the First Beast in Revelation 13, which represents the ideals and evils of ancient Rome. The Great Tribulation will be a time of plagues, pestilences and the worldwide effects of Armageddon, except in the latter-day New Jerusalem (Zion), which shall be a city of refuge and for a defense. Righteous people who dwell in the stakes of Zion beyond the borders of Zion shall be killed as martyrs in this time and many may also die from the collateral effects of earthly conditions beyond Zion. Those saints that have faith in Jesus Christ and keep his commandments‒despite these trials and tribulations‒shall be blessed because they die in the Lord. Their good works on earth will lead to their reward in heaven and they will continue their labors as righteous ministers of Jesus Christ among disembodied spirits in the postmortal spirit world.

    MAR 29

    [§242] Rev 14:9-11: The Third Angel Proclaims the Wrath of God

    This podcast explains the imagery and meaning of the vision of John in Revelation 14:9-11. These verses say: “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever; and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” The third unidentified Angel loudly pronounces judgment upon people worldwide who worship the Second Beast from Revelation 13:12-18, and have his mark (666). These wicked people are citizens of Modern Babylon who drink the wine of God's wrath without mixture. This means their punishment is undiluted and without mercy. They shall be tormented without end. The smoke of their torment is an allusion to Sodom and Gomorrah which is an ancient type for the destruction of wicked people in the modern world at the Second Coming. The third angel proclaims this judgment that follows in the next several verses of Revelation 14 that describe the Harvest Angels.

  6. [§241] Rev 14:8: The Second Angel Proclaims the Fall of Babylon

    MAR 24

    [§241] Rev 14:8: The Second Angel Proclaims the Fall of Babylon

    This podcast explains the imagery and symbolism used by John in Revelation 14:8, which states: “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” This second angel proclaims that Modern Babylon will fall twice because Modern Babylon is both an ecclesiastical and political kingdom. In addition, Modern Babylon will fall spiritually 3½ years before the Second Coming when Christ takes dominion on earth at his coronation during the future gathering of saints at Adam-ondi-Ahman in Davies County, Missouri. Then, at the Second Coming, Modern Babylon will fall physically very suddenly in the likeness of the fall of ancient Babylon—one of the greatest strongholds of the ancient world. Modern Babylon is symbol for Satan's kingdom in the latter days. Babylon the Great represents the world of sin, of immorality and idolatry. The name is synonymous with the Second Beast from Revelation 13. It is the latter-day great and abominable church, the church of the devil, secret combinations, the mother of harlots, and the Great Whore that sits on many waters. Modern Babylon is Antichrist and the antithesis of Zion. Babylon will fall spiritually and physically because she has made all nations drink the wine of the wrath of her fornication. This means that all the wicked nations of this earth will be spiritually intoxicated by the enticing evils and wickedness of the modern world. Her spiritual fornication will bring God's wrath upon Modern Babylon to her utter destruction both spiritually and physically.

  7. [§239] Rev 14:6-11: The Sayings of Three Angels Before the Second Coming

    MAR 22

    [§239] Rev 14:6-11: The Sayings of Three Angels Before the Second Coming

    This podcast briefly describes the meaning of the three angels in Revelation 14:6-11 who make proclamations about preconditions that must exist on earth and in heaven prior to the Second Coming. After this overview, this podcast provides a detailed explanation about the symbols used by John in Revelation 14:6-7, which states: “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” The other angel in this verse is frequently identified as the angel Moroni, who first appeared to the Joseph Smith in September, 1823. Moroni was instrumental in giving Joseph Smith access to the golden plates that were translated and became the Book of Mormon. This book of scripture contains the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ. Moroni's visits to Joseph Smith began the process of preaching the everlasting gospel, but the context of John's vision in Revelation 14:6-7 is the latter-day fulfillment of that preaching and the judgments that will follow. These verses contain a twofold prophecy of preaching to people that: (1) dwell on the earth and (2) every nation, kindred, tongue and people. The first group of them that dwell on earth refers to living persons who receive the gospel after its restoration in the latter days. The gospel must also be preached to the second group of people who are disembodied spirits in the postmortal spirit world. This much larger group universally embodies the disembodied spirits of men and women from all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people. In Revelation 14:7, people are commanded to fear God and worship him because the hour of his judgment is come. This voice of warning relates to the judgments that will follow the gathering of saints at Adam-ondi-Ahman 3½ years before the Second Coming. The same prediction is made in Daniel 7:9, which coincides with his prophecy of the same gathering of saints and the judgment that follows.

    MAR 17

    [§238] Rev 14:4-5: The 144,000 Are Redeemed as the First Fruits

    This podcast explains the symbolism John used to describe the qualities and characteristics of the 144,000 Servants that stand with Jesus Christ on Mount Zion at the end of the Second Woe in Revelation 14:4-5. These verses say the 144,000 “are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.” To be undefiled means that the men and women symbolically represented by the 144,000 Servants are morally clean and chaste. The symbol of a virgin means they do not engage in idolatry or other forms of wickedness. This symbol does not espouse the practice of celibacy in some religions. The 144,000 servants are exaltation-worthy because they have followed the Lamb through all earthly trials and tribulations, and they ascend with him in his resurrection and glory. In their exalted state they are redeemed, which means they are resurrected or have their calling and election made sure to exaltation and eternal life. They come forth in the morning of the first resurrection as the firstfruits, which is a status reserved only to those worthy of exaltation and eternal life. The 144,000 servants are filled with truth and in their mouth there is no guile. This means they exhibit no hypocrisy, deceit, or falsehood. These qualities and others mean they are without fault in the presence of God the Father and his son Jesus Christ on Mount Zion.
