Jesus prophesied of the Book of Revelation, chapter 6 during His Olivet Discourse!
He prophesied decades before He appeared to John and took John to Heaven so that he could record what he saw. Jesus did not use the phraseology denoting symbolism or an allegory. Instead, He was taken literally. Shouldn’t we do the same? The following are the three accounts tying His private briefing known as the Olivet Discourse with what John saw from Heaven’s point of view where he made record of it. We have been given three direct witnesses of the 70th week as well as many other references throughout Scripture.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24 and Luke made record of it in Luke 21:
Matthew 24:
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Luke 21:8 And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them.
Revelation 6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Luke 21:9-10 But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.” [10] Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Revelation 6:4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines,
8 pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Luke 21:11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
Revelation 6:5-6 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. [6] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
Luke 21:12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake.
Revelation 6:9-11 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” [11] Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
29 “Then immediately this is what will take place: ‘The sun will be darkened and the moon give no light. The stars will fall from the sky and all the cosmic powers will be shaken.’
Luke 21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
Revelation 6:12-14 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. [13] And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. [14] Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
False christs, wars, famines, death, martyrs, and global upheaval are soon to come. The true Bride will view these from Heaven. How many warnings does mankind need?
