  4. The Seven Seals of the Revelation:

  5. The first 6 Seals A period of 228 years from when John received the Revelation in AD.96 till Constantine overthrew Paganism in AD. 324

  6. Matthew Poole 1685 • “I agree with those who think, that God, by the first six seals, intends the whole space from the time when the things written in this book began to be fulfilled unto the time when paganism was rooted out of the Roman Empire, which some make the year 325”.

  7. 1637 Dordt Dutch Bible • “scenes shown at the opening of these seals, some understand the alterations and difficulties which overtook the Roman Empire from that time until the times of the Emperor Constantine”

  8. The first 6 Trumpets Signify a period of around 1465 years from the time of Constantine thru the Christian period of the Roman Empire till its breakup in the French revolution (324 – 1789).

  9. What they understood • Daniel 2 represented the four empires Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome, and that the feet and toes of iron and clay showed that the Roman kingdom would eventually fragment and divide…Most of them also understood that these fragments would ever attempt to recombine to reform the old empire, without success, until the return of Christ.

  11. What they understood • The fourth beast of Daniel 7 is Rome, and its ten horns are the divisions into which the Roman Empire would be fragmented. These would continue to attempt to recombine into a restored empire such as that from which they had come.

  14. What they understood • The fourth empire of Daniel 2 was represented as the fourth beast in Daniel 7, was the same beast as the beast of the sea in Revelation 13. The combination of the descriptions of the beasts of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 (together with Revelation 16 and 17), were understood to be a prophecy of this reconstitution of a new Roman empire comprising Western European nations, with the antiChrist (papal) system as the combining and dominant element.

  20. John Gill on the Name of the Beast • “Lateinos…is mentioned by so ancient a writer as Irenaeus, who was a hearer of Polycarp, a disciple of John, the writer of this book; now the numeral value of the letters of this word makes up exactly 666. • & it is well known that the church of Rome is called the Latin Church and the pope of Rome the head of the Latin Church, and his seat is in the Latin empire, and the service of the beast is in the Latin tongue, and the bible is kept in that language, from the reading of the common people…”…by the Latin Vulgate

  21. Historicist Predictions • The division of the Roman Empire • The French Revolution • The wars that followed • The sacking of Rome & subsequent breakup of the Holy Roman Empire. • The Diminishing of the Ottoman Empire. • The rise of the Antichrist (Papal) system • The Papacy losing temporal power. • The return of the Jews to Israel. • The reunification of Europe

  23. The time periods • The Seals – AD. 96 –324…228yrs. • The Trumpets – AD.324-1789…1465yrs. • The Vials – AD. 1793-theKgd…219yrs+

  24. KINGDOM 219yrs…

  25. 1663: Thomas Moore • ‘That an earthquake signifies political commotions and change of affairs, is obvious to any one; but that the city here mentioned should be understood not of a city of brick or stone, but a polity”

  26. 1639: Thomas Goodwin: ‘By the tenth part of the city, I understand some one tenth part of Europe. 1689: Pierre Jurieu: The Tenth part of the City which here fell, will, at some future time, appear to be the Kingdom of France, where a Revolution will take place about the year 1785, and a separation from the Papacy follow,

  27. Peter Jurieu

  28. 1687: Jacques Phillipott • ‘As the King of France did his utmost to enhance the glory of Popery - it will be the King of France who will mostly contribute to her ruin…I take it for granted, first, that the city here mentioned is Babylon - that is the Papal Empire, the Church of Rome, the Empire of the AntiChrist… why should there be any hesitation in concluding that thistenth part of the city which shall fall is France?’

  29. 1742: John Willison • ‘Before Antichrist's fall, one of the ten kingdoms which supported the beast shall undergo a marvelous revolution. Rev.xi.13…by which tenth part is to be understood one of the ten kingdoms into which the great city,Romish Babylon, was divided. This many take to be the kingdom of France, it being the tenth and last of the kingdoms…and also it being the only one of the ten that was never conquered since its rise.However unlikely this, and other prophesied events, may appear at the time, yet the almighty hand of the only wise God can soon bring them about when least expected.’

  30. How did they ever arrive at this conclusion?? • Revelation continued Daniel…the 4th beast is amplified in Revelation thru various phases of ROME • The 1st six seals symbolise judgments on Pagan Rome • The 1st six trumpets symbolise the overthrow of the Christian Roman Empire in the east and west. • The red dragon of (Rev 12) was Pagan Rome. • The Sea, Earth and Scarlet beasts with the image of the beast of chapters 13 & 17 are different phases of western European affairs under the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. • The Harlot (Rev 17) is the Papacy (Rome). • The Great city, Babylon is code for the Roman Catholic Church. • The false prophet is the Papacy (Rome) after the loss of temporal power

  31. Interpretation verified Not a single expositor interpreted any of these symbols as… America, the Arabs, Israel, Jerusalem or Literal Babylon … Any interpretation other than Roman European affairs under the influence of the Papacy would have led these expositors to wrong conclusions and inaccurate forecasts.

  32. Historicist Scoreboard • The division of the Roman Empire • The French Revolution • The wars that followed • The sacking of Rome & subsequent breakup of the Holy Roman Empire. • The Diminishing of the Ottoman Empire. • The rise of the Antichrist (Papal) system • The Papacy losing temporal power. • The return of the Jews to Israel. • The reunification of Europe

  40. How did they ever arrive at this conclusion?? They understood that… • The 1st six trumpets symbolise the overthrow of the Christian Roman Empire in the east and west. Particularly… 1st trumpet – Alaric (Goths) 2nd trumpet – Genseric (vandals) 3rd trumpet – Attila (Huns) 4th trumpet – Odoacer (Goths) 5th trumpet – Mahomet (Saracens) 6th trumpet – turks in the east (Seljuks, Mongols, Tartars, Ottomans) - Anti papal forces in the west
