Welcome to Revelation Unraveled. I'm your host William Tapley, also known as the Third
Eagle of the Apocalypse and the Co Prophet of the End Times. On today's program, I want
to start a two part series on hermeneutics, the interpretation of the Bible. Specifically,
I want to talk about End Times hermeneutics, which is somewhat different than the interpretation
of the rest of scripture. End Times prophecy has two different characteristics: first,
there is a great emphasis on numerology, and second, the symbolic interpretation always
takes precedence over the literal interpretation. For an example of literal interpretation,
let's go to the Old Testament, for example, Jonah and the whale. We accept on faith, that
Jonah lived for three days, in the belly of a whale. The symbolic interpretation is that
the body of Jesus would be in the ground for three days after the crucifixion. However,
there is no End Times significance to the story of Jonah and the whale. In the New Testament,
let's take a look at Jesus, when He said 'unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have
no life in you.' That is another example where you take the literal interpretation ahead
of the symbolic interpretation. In other words, Jesus meant what He said. 'Unless you eat
my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you'. He lost a lot of His disciples because,
as they said, that was a hard saying. Now, let's look at the Book of Revelation, where
we find the rules of End Times hermeneutics in force. For example, let's take a look at
the Whore of Babylon. First of all, the colors that she wears are purple and scarlet, but
we must look at this clothing in a symbolic light. In other words, it can't be real
clothing. Now, the false prophets will tell you, that the purple and scarlet refer to what
Cardinals and Bishops wear in the Roman Catholic Church. But that is a lie from the
pit of hell. They are trying to say that, the Whore of Babylon is the Roman Catholic Church.
That is false. The purple has always symbolized royalty and thus it refers to the monarchy
of England (Britain). The scarlet color has always referred to bloodshed and that refers to the bloody
American Revolution. In other words, the two nations that comprise Babylon chiefly, are
England and the United States. When Saint John writes 'Babylon is fallen, is fallen',
those two 'is fallens' refer to the two nations that fall, England and America. The false
prophets also literally interpret that Babylon is a city. But, this is End Times prophecy,
therefore Babylon is not a city, just as Jerusalem and Rome, which are cities, are never described
as such, in the Book of Revelation. Remember, symbolism trumps literalism. Let's take a
look at the golden cup, which the Whore of Babylon drinks out of, and you could be almost
positive, that this cannot be a cup, because that would be a literal interpretation.
The false prophets like to say that that is a chalice, which Catholic priests use to consecrate
the blood of Jesus. But this chalice, which is gold and shiny on the outside, symbolizes
our whole decadent Western Culture, which is full of filth and fornication on the inside.
The best examples are the movies that come out of Hollywood. They are professional looking
on the outside, but on the inside, they promote homosexuality, they promote drugs, adultery,
pornography, abortion. Every kind of filth and fornication that you can think of, they promote.
Let's take a look at the 'stinging locusts' in the Book of Revelation. Now the false prophets
tell you that, that is actually a plague of locusts, like the plague of locusts that struck
Egypt in the Old Testament. But remember these are stinging locusts. I've never even heard
of a stinging locust. What these stinging locusts symbolize, are the followers of Martin
Luther, who is the 'great star that falls from heaven' in the Book of Revelation.
Another example is the temple that Saint John is asked, to measure. Now the false prophets say, well,
this must be a temple that is rebuilt in Jerusalem by the Antichrist. Wrong! If Saint John called
it a temple, you can be sure it is not a temple. In fact, the temple which the angel tells
Saint John to measure, refers to the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church will
apostatize. The False Prophet will take it over and move the Vatican from Rome to Jerusalem.
This is the temple that Saint John is writing about. And the angel said to count those who
worship, not the exterior of the temple. That's because, all of the exterior functions of the
Catholic Church will be given to the Antichrist; all the hospitals, all the schools, all the
colleges, alI the orphanages, all the seminaries. All will be given to the Antichrist. All the
exterior buildings and institutions will be taken over by the One World Communist system.
All that will be left are the true worshippers, those Catholics who flee with Mary into the
desert, and are protected on the two wings of a great eagle. Those two wings, you can
be sure, they're not real wings. They are the Rosary and the Scapular. Those are the two
weapons, that the remnant Catholics will have to fight with, against the Antichrist. We must
remember, that this battle against the Antichrist is a spiritual battle. For those of you who
like to hoard gold, or hide your guns; that will not work. You must pray the Rosary every day;
that will work. So, in conclusion, on this program, remember the two rules of hermeneutics,
as far as End Times prophecy goes. First of all, that symbolism takes precedence over
the literalism and second, the numerology is extremely important. Now, on our next program
about hermeneutics, we will take a look at Mary's Rosary, as it is prefigured in both
the Old Testament and the New Testament. If you would like more information, simply write
