This is the translation of the revelation portion from above, as you can see, it is not easy to translate, and English is not even my spoken language. That guy Apollo in fact have his own blog and full explantion of Eschatology, I will be cost me a year to trnaslate all of his articles. But anyway, the above article is already enough to have a brief understanding of Eschatology, assumes that one has read the whole bible from start to finish at least several times.
Is revelation for human to read? Yes, but if the reader does not understand, how to follow? or in another words, what if everybody has his own different explanation, then what the book good for? or could it be just to intrigued us, make us curious?
It is divided into four sections. Chapter 1-3, chapter 4-19, chapter 20, and chapter 21-22
Chapter 1-3, describes John seen Jesus, and the 7 churches.
In 1:3 said Hear and kept those words were blessed, because end time is near. So… we have to read no matter what, so to be blessed., we have to try our best to read, but let us just first ignore those unreadable 7xxx etc… those numbers…
In 1:19 revelation listed 3 things 1. What had seen in the visions 2. Present things. 3. And hereafter, the future.
Revelation 1:19 Write the things which 1(thou hast seen), 2(and the things which are,) and the 3(things which shall be hereafter)
Present things are the 7 churches, represents every churches before, now and up to the the second coming of Jesus. We can find the answers to any churches’ problem listed here in revelation.
Chapter 4-19: the catastrophe, is 3(things which shall be hereafter 7 churches) or we can said that after the 7 churches, when second coming of Jesus, not yet driven on cloud down to earth, but stop at the middle of the sky, believers were raptured, and on earth, 3.5 years catastrophe started, which is listed here.
So Chapter 4-19 is what John saw, in 2 visions:
First vision listed on chapter 4-11: unseal of the 7 seals.
Second vision listed on chapter 12-19: After John ate the little book took from the hand of an angel, and start to say prophecy to many people, nations and kings. (chapter 10:10~11)
7 seals is divided into 2 parts, number 1~6 seals and number 7 seal, and also there is another part of #7 seal.
Let take a look at #6 seal, which is the same thing described in Mathew 24: 29~30 and Luke 21:25~26
Revelation 6:12~17
1. Sun became black
2. Moon became as blood
3. Stars fell unto earth
4. Big earthquake
5. Kings etc… every human hiding to the den and rock of the mountain.
So now we know that what happened here is identical to Mathew 24:29~30, and so take a look at Mathew 24:30, is the Son of man riding on a cloud down to earth, so that we know that this is about at the end of 3.5 years of catastrophe. So, seal #1~6 is what happened in 3.5 years of catastrophe.
Take a look at seal #5 also…
Revelation 6:9~10 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
At church era (which is we are now), when a believer died, where did his soul gone? Is it to heaven with Jesus happily (Philippian 1:23, 2Conrinthians 5:8, Hebrews 9:24, 1Peter 3:22) or is it go under the altar? of course go to heaven. Needless to say, these souls here mentioned were died within this 3.5 years of catastrophe, they will be resurrect at the time listed in revelation 20:4, in another words, they will be resurrect after Jesus came down to earth surface., therefore, the believers died before 3.5 years of catastrophe, they were resurrected when Jesus is at the middle of the sky, and the souls went under the altar were died during catastrophe.
So needless to say, seal #1~6 is catastrophe era, 3.5 years. Seal #1 is anti-christ, #2 is war, #3 is famine…
How about seal #7? Seal #7 includes 7 trumpets and 7 thunders (which ordered John not to written down).
Likewise, trumpet #1~6 is also happened within 3.5 years, #1 1/3 burnt… #2 1/3… #3 1/3… whatever explanations, it goes toward catastrophe.
Lets take a look also at second vision of John, eating the small book, this is also divided into 2 parts.
First part, chapter 12
Second part chapter 13~19
First part if the explanation is wrong, everything Eschatology is wrong, what’s wrong with other eschatology? I listed below…
a. They explained the man child as the overcometh, or the winner.
b. They explained the war (12:7~9) between angel and dragon as the time before second coming of Christ.
c. They explained this war is at the sky.
And so these 3 explanation of other eschatology makes a mystery, and no way to explain and co-exist with all other prophecy and bible verses.
To explain chapter 12, the structure is below.
First part verse 1~6
Second part verse 7~12
Third part 13~17
But second and third part of chapter 12 is the additional information to verse 4 and 5. So let’s take a look.
Second part tell us that Satan and is fellow were cast out into earth. How? By Angel Michael and his fellow angels.
This war between Michael and Dragon happened to be where? This is not happened at the sky, but happened at the heaven, above the sky. The “heaven” word is original identical as 2Corithinas 12:2, Hebrews9:24, 1Peter3:22.
This war happened when? In verse 10, says: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
So this means… when thus the salvation come? First coming of Jesus already come.
When Strength and kingdom of God come? Luke 11:20 Luke 17:21, so we can see, when Jesus preaching and casting out daemons, healing etc… the kingdom of God already come.
When does the power of Christ come? Mathew 9:6, 28:18, Jesus said for all the power of heaven and earth have given to me…
All in all, when did this war happened? It is actually happened before the first coming of Christ. Luke 10:18 said “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”
What this verse means? Jesus testimony and said, He saw the war and Satan was cast to earth like lightning fall to the ground earth.
***In addition to the translation, note that, I myself because of the correct explanation, I can now fully understood Genesis chapter 1 the creation. I’ll find a time to explain Genesis chapter 1, the creation, this is very very very important, that I considered it as the most important, because… what if a non believer saw this chapter?, just one question, and we Christians are out of mind, we were going to lose the fight, one word “dinosaur”. How you explain this? The entire humanity only start about 10 thousand years more or less, but dinosaurs already lived billions years ago. See what I mean, and actutually a theologist in hongkong, a pastor already did the explantion and everything in Genesis chapter 1, it just that most Christians ignores it. I don't know why? Let me say this, The word of God is the sword again the odd, we Christians fight with the word of God, how to use the word of God as sword? ofcourse, udnerstand it.
What are the results after Satan was casted down to earth? Romans 8:33, Satan cannot lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect.
We by Jesus blood and God’s word is going to win against Satan.
1 Peter 5:8~9, By faith we can defense.
And so Satan has been casting down to earth before first coming of Jesus, then we can now correctly explain the first part of revelation chapter 12.
12:1 the woman is refers to Israeli, we can use Genesis 37:9 Sun is Jacob, Moon is his wife, 12 stars is His 12 sons.
12:2 painful delievering the baby can be said, During Jesus’ birth, Israeli is under Roman empire ruling and with oppressor king Herod.
Red dragon = Satan
1/3 of stars of heaven, is refers to Satan and his fellow were 1/3 of total amount of angels, they going to eat the child, so this child is refers to Jesus, when Jesus was born, Herod is trying to kill him. Mathew 2:13~18.
12:5 Caugth up unto God and to his throne, refers to after resurrection, Jesus raise to heaven (Acts 1:9~11)
12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Explanation to this, 1260 days refers to 3.5 years of catastrophe, John use the old testament way of writing, and excluding the Church era, John directly write the prophecy of second coming of Jesus with the 3.5 years of catastrophe, 42*30=1260.
Part 3 divided into 2 parts
First part verse 13~16, this is refers to the 3.5 year of Jesus first coming, which snake cause the woman (Israeli) not to believe Jesus, and using Pharisee force the Israeli. (John9:22, 34, 12:10, 42, 19:38, Luke22:31), note that first 3.5 years is about the dragon, the satan, and the end 3.5 years is about the anti-christ, false prophet and the beast.
Second part is verse 17, what Satan did, revelation 13:2, we know that Satan became the commander and give his power to beast the anti Christ.
To be continue…

Take a look at seal #5 also…
Revelation 6:9~10 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
