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.

    [§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.

    [§262] Rev 16:5-7: Justice Declared by the Angels of Water and Fire

    This podcast explains the imagery and symbols used by John to describe the Vial Plagues of the Third Woe in Revelation 16:5-9. These verses state: “I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.” The two proclamations by the angel of water and the angel of the altar (fire) satisfy the eternal law of witnesses where the truth of God's righteous judgments are established by the testimony of these two angels. After the two witnesses testify of God’s righteous judgments after the first three Vial Plagues, the angel from the altar pours out the fourth Vial Plague that brings intense heat upon the earth and scorches all telestial-worthy people. The effect is opposite the fourth trumpet plague where the sun, moon and stars were dark for a third part of the day. When wicked people are scorched this occurs they will refuse to repent and will curse God knowing that he is the source of their suffering.

  3. [§260] Rev 16:2: First Vial: A Noisome and Grievous Sore on Land

    MAY 10

    [§260] Rev 16:2: First Vial: A Noisome and Grievous Sore on Land

    This podcast explains the symbols and imagery used by John to describe the first, second, and third Vial Plagues in Revelation 16:2-4, which state: “And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his image. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man]: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.” The first Vial Plague is foreshadowed by the sixth Egyptian plague where painful boils afflicted the Egyptian people and their animals, while the Israelites were not harmed. During this first plague and the others that follow, telestial-worthy people (who have the mark of the beast) will suffer and die from the effects of the Vial Plagues of the Third Woe, while people who live at least terrestrial law will collectively survive. The second and third Vial Plagues curse the waters of the oceans and freshwater systems, respectively, on a worldwide scale. The curse upon the waters is also mentioned in Doctrine and Covenants 61, where the vision of W. W. Phelps is recorded after he saw the destroyer riding on the waters of the Missouri River. During the second Vial Plague, every sea creature will die in the oceans, whose waters will become like the coagulated and putrid blood of a dead man. When the third Vial Plague occurs quickly after the second Vial Plague, every person will die who drinks the water turned to blood. The curse upon the waters is foreshadowed by the first Egyptian plague were Moses turned the waters of Egypt into blood for a period of seven days.

  4. [§258] An Overview of the Last Seven Vial Plagues in Revelation 16

    [§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.

    MAY 3

    [§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.

    APR 28

    [§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.

  7. [§255] Rev 15:2: The Redeemed Saints Stand on a Sea of Glass

    APR 26

    [§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.

  8. [§254] Rev 15:1: Seven Angels and Seven Plagues of the Third Woe

    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.
