This podcast explains the symbols used by John to describe the survivors of the seven-year battle of Armageddon in Revelation 9:20-21. The survivors are those who will refuse to repent during the battle, although they could do so. This means they are not sons of perdition, who have committed the unpardonable sin in this life and have lost the power to repent. John lists several characteristics of the survivors. They are guilty of murders, sorceries, fornication, and thefts. These characteristics align perfectly with latter-day revelation that identifies such persons as telestial worthy. Thus, we learn in this podcast that telestial people as a class will survive Armageddon and the third part of men that will not survive are mortal sons of perdition.

This podcast explains the symbols used by John to describe the heads and tails of the horses of Armageddon in Revelation 9:19. The horses represent (mortal armies) with power in their mouths to kill the third part of men. They also have tails like serpents that have heads with power to kill men on a lesser scale during physical Armageddon. The mouths of the horses represent powerful nations gathered to Armageddon, while the tails represent less powerful groups such as state sponsored terrorists, organized crime, gangs and other unlawful but powerful groups that fall in the category of secret combinations.

This podcast explains the meaning of the symbols used by John to describe the weapons of war to be used in the future battle of Armageddon as described in Revelation 9:18. In this verse, John saw the horses (mortal armies) and horsemen (evil spirits) of Armaggedon as they used three holy weapons of fire, smoke, and brimstone to kill the third part of men, who, as a class, represent mortal sons of perdition that will be on earth during physical Armageddon.

This podcast explains the meaning of the symbols used by John to describe the weapons of war to be used in the future battle of Armageddon as described in Revelation 9:17. In this verse, John saw the horses (mortal armies) and horsemen (evil spirits) with breastplates of fire, jacinth, and brimstone and out of their mouths issued fire, smoke, brimstone. All these symbols show that Armageddon will be a holy war that will accomplish the purposes of God through evil instrumentalities.

This podcast explains the meaning of the horses and horsemen that John describes in Revelation 9:16. The horsemen are evil spirits loosed on earth at the start of Armageddon during the Second Woe. They will have significant power, control, and influence over the horses that represent the mortal armies engaged in this final battle leading up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

This podcast explains the meaning of the 200 million combatants that John the apostle heard and saw engaged in the battle of Armageddon in Revelation 9:16. The number of 200 million is symbolic. It represents an immense number of combatants from two armies of armies engaged in the conflict against each other. In this Holy War, the wicked will destroy the wicked.

This podcast explains what it means for the third part of men to be slain during the Second Woe known as Armageddon, as described by the John the Revelator in Revelation 9:15. In this context, the third part of men represents a specific class of men called mortal sons of perdition who are appointed unto death and destruction during the Second Woe.

This podcast explains the timing for the future start of Armageddon as described by John the Revelator in Revelation 9:15. He tells us that this world-ending battle will begin when four angels are loosed from the Euphrates River (bottomless pit) at a specific hour, day, month, and year.

This podcast explains and interprets the symbols present in Revelation 9:13-14, which describe the start of the battle of Armageddon, also known as the Second Woe of the seventh seal. The Second Woe will begin at a future day when the sixth trumpet angel sounds his trump. The symbols include four angels, who represent the unembodied and disembodied spirit sons of perdition who will be given great power on earth to influence mortal people to engage in the battle of Armageddon where one third of the symbolic number of 200,000,000 (two hundred million) men will die. The four angels (representative of evil spirits) arise from the Euphrates River, which symbolizes Spiritual Babylon, hell, the abyss and the bottomless pit from whence these evil spirits arise. The four angels in Rev 9:13-14 are distinguished from the four angels that John saw in Revelation 7:1-2.

This podcast provides an overview of the Second Woe of the seventh seal that will begin at a future day when the sixth trumpet angel sounds his trump. The Second Woe is a seven-year period of time when the physical battle of Armageddon will be fought. The events of the Second Woe are described by John the Revelator in Revelation 9:13 though Revelation 11:14. The battle is summarized in Revelation 9:13-21 and includes the deaths of all mortal sons of perdition collectively, who are identified as one third of the combatants involved in the war. Revelation 10 describes events at the midpoint of Armageddon when the Savior will appear as a great angel at the gathering of saints at the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman. These events are symbolically described as part of John's "Little Book Mission." After the events of Revelation 10, John's narrative continues in Revelation 11, which described events during the second half of Armageddon, including the ministry of the two witnesses in Jerusalem during the last 3 ½ years before the Second Coming, which are called the "Great Tribulation." The Two Witnesses will be killed and their dead bodies will lie unburied in Jerusalem for 3 1/2 days, during which time the Third Temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed during the "abomination of desolation" predicted by Christ on the eve of his crucifixion. The Second Woe will end when the two witnesses are resurrected in Rev 11:14.
