Unveiling Jesus Christ

John Cassinat

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.

    [§258] An Overview of the Last Seven Vial Plagues in Revelation 16

    This podcast provides an explanatory overview of the last seven Vial Plagues of the Third Woe described by John in Revelation chapter 16. This overview includes a comparison between the seven Vial Plagues in Revelation 16 and the seven trumpet plagues in Revelation 8-11. A comparison is also made of the 10 plagues of Egypt in the days of Moses and the plagues called down by the Two Witnesses in Jerusalem who will exercise the Sealing Power. Particular attention is given during this podcast to the last three vial plagues, which include preparations for spiritual Armageddon. This is a spiritual battle that will cleanse the earth of evil spirits, including unembodied and disembodied spirit sons of perdition. This podcast also explains the imagery used by John in Revelation 16:1, which states: “AND I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.” The great voice in this verse is God the father, who directs the seven angels to quickly pour out the last seven Vial Plagues of the Third Woe. The Vial Plagues contain the fullness of the wrath of God. The pouring out of God’s wrath will be full or complete in all the earth at the time of Christ's last appearance of the Second Coming. At that time the earth shall also be transformed from its current telestial condition to its paradisiacal or terrestrial condition for the millennium.

    [§257] Rev 15:5-8: God the Father Prepares for the Third Woe to Begin

    This podcast explains the imagery used by John in Revelation 15:5-8. In these verses, John “looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.” The temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven refers to God's celestial kingdom, which is typified and foreshadowed by the ancient tabernacle in the days of Moses and the temples of Solomon and Zerubbabel (Herod). God is in this heavenly temple and he commissions the seven angels to carry out the last seven plagues of the Third Woe as a sacred duty. Their priestly duty is symbolized by the nature of the priestly clothing described by John in these verses. After God commissions the seven angels to carry out the seven last vial plagues of the Third Woe, the golden vials full of the wrath of God are presented to them by one of the four beasts. The four beasts represent all of creation. One of the four is present in this heavenly scene because all of creation is concerned with the wrath of God that will be poured out on all people, animals, plants and minerals during the Third Woe. The temple in heaven is filled with the smoke from the glory of God, which prevents anyone from entering the temple to make intercession on behalf of unrepentant people who will be destroyed during the Third Woe. Even Christ‒the Great High Priest and mediator‒cannot make intercession or seek the mercy of God during the Third Woe when the wrath of God will be poured out without measure to cleanse the earth of all corruption in all elements of the earth during the Second Coming. The earth will be cleansed to become a terrestrial (paradisiacal) world at the Second Coming.

    [§256] Rev 15:3-4: 144,000 Sing the Songs of Moses and the Lamb

    This podcast explains the imagery and meaning of John's vision in Revelation 15, where he describes exalted and exaltation-worthy saints gathered on heavenly Mount Zion which is seen as a fiery sea of glass at the start of the Third Woe. These are the 144,000 Servants seen by John in Revelation 14. In Revelation 15:3-4: “They sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.” The song of Moses is a celebration of the redeemed saints that stand on Mount Zion. It alludes to the song of victory sung by the Israelites on the shores of the Red Sea after Pharaoh and his armies were destroyed. The song of the Lamb is a similar song of victory that includes the worship of Jesus Christ as the redeemer and deliverer of his people both physically and spiritually. His acts of redemption are both great and marvelous. The lyrics of the song of the Lamb further proclaim that Christ is the King of saints (King of nations) and his judgments of destruction are just and true. By the end of the Third Woe, all wicked people living less than terrestrial law shall be destroyed and those that remain shall fear (reverence) Christ and glorify his name. All persons in all nations not destroyed at the time of the Second Coming shall come to the mountain of the Lord's house to worship. All his judgments shall be made manifest at his coming and throughout the millennium.

    [§255] Rev 15:2: The Redeemed Saints Stand on a Sea of Glass

    This podcast explains and interprets the imagery used by John in Revelation 15:2, which states: “And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.” The context for this verse is the end of the Second Woe Harvest in Revelation 14:14-20, and the start of the Third Woe when seven angels will pour out the last seven Vial Plagues to cleanse the earth at the Second Coming. John describes a similar scene of blessedness in Revelation 14:1-2 where the 1440,000 Servants stand with the Lamb on heavenly Mount Sion (Zion). This podcast compares and contrasts both scenes set in heaven. In Revelation 15:2, the sea of glass mingled with fire represents God’s celestial kingdom where exaltation-worthy saints will stand in the flesh in the presence of the Father with Jesus Christ during the destructive calamities of the Third Woe. This podcast compares the heavenly scene with John’s vision of celestial paradise in Revelation 4 and 5, where John described the heavenly conditions as a sea of glass like unto crystal without the mention of fire. The exaltation-worthy saints are those who overcome Satan and gain the victory over the Second Beast, which John described in Revelation 13:11-18. These overcomers possess the harps of God as tokens of their victory and a symbol of their worship and gratitude as they play the Song of Moses described in Revelation 15:3-4.

    APR 21

    [§254] Rev 15:1: Seven Angels and Seven Plagues of the Third Woe

    This podcast examines and explains the writings of John the apostle in Revelation 15:1, which states: “AND I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.” The great and marvelous sign in heaven is known as the Grand Sign of the Son of Man, which is given as the last sign from heaven before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ during the Third Woe of the seventh seal. In Revelation 15:1, John also identifies seven angels who have the seven last plagues of the Third Woe, called Vial Plagues. These seven last Vial Plagues are similar to, but very distinct from, the seven trumpet plagues described by John primarily in Revelation chapters 8 and 9. Although the trumpet plagues and Vial Plagues are similar in many respects, the seven last Vial Plagues come after the trumpet plagues and the two series of judgments are significantly different in their effects. This podcast provides an overview comparison between the seven trumpet plagues and the seven more deadly Vial Plagues. John also states in Revelation 15:1, that the last seven Vial Plagues are filled up with the wrath of God. They are the last plagues that will occur before Christ's Second Coming and they are filled up with the God’s wrath to represent the fullness of God's indignation that will be poured out upon the wicked prior to, and at the time of, Christ's Second Coming.

    [§250] Rev 14:19-20: Wicked Grapes Are Trodden in the Winepress

    This podcast explains the symbolism and imagery used by John in Revelation 14:19-20 to describe the second part or phase of the harvest that occurs at the end of the Second Woe. In this phase all mortal sons of perdition will be destroyed as prophesied by John, saying: “And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.” Jesus Christ is the Third Harvest Angel that thrusts his sickle into the earth‒meaning earthly and worldly people. They are the wicked vine of the earth that will be cast into the great winepress of the wrath of God. This symbolizes God's judgments upon all wicked sons of perdition as a class. Christ alone will tread the winepress symbolically located outside the walls of the city of Jerusalem. The blood of wicked people flows out of the winepress as a symbol of their destruction. The destruction will be so great that blood will symbolically flow to a depth of 4 to 5 feet for the space of 1600 furlongs, which equates to approximately 160 miles. The number 1600 is a symbolic number derived from the world number four squared (4x4), which is then multiplied by 10 squared (10x10). This symbolic number identifies the entire world of wicked people who are one part of the greater whole of all wicked people. Sons of perdition are the one part destroyed during the harvest of the Second Woe (Armageddon) like grapes that are crushed in the winepress of God’s wrath. When this harvest is complete, the Second Woe will end, and the Third Woe will come quickly. (Rev 11:14)
