REVELATION: MATURE LOOK - CHAPTER OUTLINE

Scene One: Fall of Lucifer
I am convinced that Lucifer is behind all human disobedience of God. He is the one who who tempted Eve in the Garden. He is also the one who misled 1/3 of the angels resulting in all of them along with Lucifer being cast out of heaven onto Earth where he tempted our first parents. No author of an interpretation of Revelation alludes to it as a warning to Luifer like I do. I have taken an unique view of Revelation, but I think it is correct. After all, no matter how powerful Lucifer is compared to humans, he is practically nothing compared to God. I start off describing what I think God is like before creation and what the angels were like when God first created them. Then I describe the fall of Lucifer, the first occurance of evil in God's sight.

Scene Two: Fall of Man
I describe the fall of Adam and Eve and how Lucifer is responsible for it and how God promised Adam and Eve that a descendant of theirs will rescue all their descendants and punish Lucifer. That descendant will be given the position of morning light originally given to Lucifer. Their descendant, Jesus, will not only be the morning light illuming all humans; he will also be The Redeemer. God warns Eve that Lucifer will try to destroy the mission of the Redeemer, but the Redeemer will crush the pride of Lucifer.

Scene Three: Rescue of Israel
I describe how God rescued the descendants of Eve from slavery in Egypt and made a covenant with them, pushing away human dependence upon Lucifer living up to the office given him before he rebelled. God himself will guide Eve's descendants into offering God adequate homage and obedience, and in due time God will send The Redeemer in the flesh to punish Lucifer and lead all of Eve's descendants into God' heavenly kingdom.

Scene Four: Fall of Israel
This is a long chapter. I break it down into twenty segmants showing how the visions in Revelation connect with historical events in 1st and 2nd century Judea. Since the preterist interpretation is not well received in the world, I discuss every vision and match them with actual historical events. If you had not already recognized the influence of Lucifer in human affairs, I point out the Gospel account of Lucifer influencing Judas and The Temple leaders to have The Redeemer crucified. The critical point in this chapter is that the primary focus of Revelation is warning first-century Jews how God will reaspond through the history of their people if they refuse to accept The Redeemer. They did refuse and, as predcicted, their entire nation was destroyed by Rome in the second century.

Scene Five: Millennial Kingdom
In spite of the rejection of the first-century Judeans, The Redeemer did establish his Church gathering together all those who believe him nomatter where they come from. At first they were all Judeans, but others soon joined and the Church grew. In about two hundred years even the Roman Empire entered The Church. The Christian believers then established a political rule as well as an ecclesial rule. I argue that The Millenial KIngsdom is the period starting with the acceptance of Catholicism by The Roman Empire untill The Protestant Reformation.

Scene Six: End of Millennial Kingdom
I argue that the Protestant Reformation caused the dissolution of the The Christian political empire and the confusion of Christian evangelization in the world. I show how the pagan world in Mexico entered into the Church after the apparition of the Blessed Virgin. This vision of Mary at Guadalupe happened at the same time as The Reformation.

Scenn Seven: Gradule Loss of Faith
I present historical events that show the increasing seduction of the human race into abandonment of the Christian faith and the appearance of atheistic worldvierws.

My Futurist Interpretation
About 3/4 of the way into my book, I start my futurist interpretation beginning with the apparitions to Zoe Catherine Labouré, and at La Salette, and at Fatima. I discuss the Progressive mentality and Globalism, which I describe as atheistic attempts at manmade utopias. I then show how seventeen of the visions in Revelation can also apply to future events.

Marian Movement of Priests
I discuss Fr. Gobbi and his apparitions of the Blessed Virgin asking him to recruit a cohort of faithful priests to offset the influence of Lucifer and warnings that the end times are near.

Tree of Life
I discuss the warning in Genesis that God will not tolerate humans partaking of the tree of life. I then cite modern research attempting to do exactly that.

God's Final Offer
I think, because we are so close to the end times and God's appeals are still ignored, God is offering through The Divine Mercy devotion one last chance to escape final damnation. I urge my readers to take Divine Mercy seriously. I end discuissing what hell is like for those who stedfastly to submit themselves to God's Holy Will.
