Decoding The Book of Revelation

Letter To Olivia

October 1 st

DEAR OLIVIA,

Many blessings to you. Peace, love, and friendship to you and your family in this rejoicing season.

In the midst of meditating on the word of our Lord, I couldn't help but bring to mind our conversation the other day which left me in a state of melancholy. I was under the impression that your class was doing quite well at The Oaks, but to hear of such division and controversy leads me to believe that there is a lack of communication and a lack of Biblical understanding on your part as their teacher. It appears as though an element in your study has been overlooked, dismissed, or forgotten.

It was also brought to my attention that Mr. Sykes has been misleading the flock and attempting to bring many souls back under the law, as he himself has been bewitched by a said few, who have constructed the scriptures to blend into their fantasies about God, women and the laws; but nevertheless, as the prophetess of the school, I am here to assist you.

Bring to mind the saying of our Lord in Matthew 24:4, Take heed that no man deceive you. As you are aware, there are boatloads of false prophets and false Christs who has entered into the world, stepped unto a pulpit, started the cameras rolling, placed an I Love Jesus bumper sticker on their car, and taught the sheep. As of today, many are led astray and continue to be led astray.

My dear Olivia, take heed. For when one is deceived they do not know they are deceived, and attempting to bring a person back from deception is the most challenging part of being a true follower of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we have previously stated, it is imperative that you protect your eyes and ears from subtle deception. There are few pastors, teachers, evangelists, ministers, etc., that we can listen to in these final days. Some provide very viable lessons and teachings on this narrow road while others are leading the flock on the wide path towards destruction.

They do this either knowingly or unknowingly. I would like to believe that you are still traveling on the narrow path towards life, and have simply stumbled on a bumpy road that needs to be sound and leveled quickly.

We are children of Light. We do not dwell in darkness. I understand that you are trying to play it safe, but Olivia, you know that not saying too much is really no different than not saying anything at all. Many have heard the repeated stories of nothing. Nothing lost, nothing gained, nothing healed, nothing changed. Therefore, make a stand and be firm in your stance. Never wavering, never condescending, and never appeasing the masses. You do not answer to them, but only to your Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.

Now, the book of Revelation, which also is referred to as the unveiling, has been a book that has received much debate and controversy over the years. It has broken up congregations, friendships, schools, and more; however, here at The Oaks, we study to show ourselves approved and do not rely on the interpretations of man, but through the Holy Spirit, who guides us into all truth.

As you read through the chapters in the book of Revelation, take heed to the sequence of events and how they coincide with the book of Exodus. It has been said, To understand the end one must grasp the beginning. Our Lord is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I also suggest that you bring to remembrance the words in the Book of Amos 3:7, Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

The book of Revelation was written for the servants of Jesus (Revelation 1:1), and according to the book of Amos these servants are also prophets but take heed, God has not sent all prophets for these latter days (Jeremiah 23:21). Take heed that you are not deceived. The eyes of his people will be opened in the latter days and that which has been hidden for centuries will finally be brought to the surface. And that which many hold true to their heart, deeming such information as fact, will be revealed as untruth.

There is a great deception in the world today, from false prophets to UFO's, to government conspiracies. There may be a tad of truth to some conspiracy theories, but rest assured there is also a hidden lie that will lead a person down the path of destruction. These people might never exit the wheel of life. Therefore, take heed that you do not fall into the enemy's snare. Remembering and never wavering from the fact that there is more than one enemy.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15, And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transform themselves as though they were the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

In the meantime, bind the words of our Lord that are indisputable to you at this time. Loose all hypocrisy. Loose the lies and bind the truth. The sermon on the Mount, the miracles, sayings, and teachings of Jesus Christ and all the love that you have for him, and the love of him that dwells within you. Stand tall in the midst of confusion, listen accordingly, and take every word, action, and thought to God and test every spirit.

In addition to what I have stated above, if you learn the parable of the fig tree, the fig tree being the house of Israel, then you will discern the true times that are upon us. You will also watch diligently while keeping in mind that the mystery of God and the unveiling of this mystery is not only a hard pill for many to swallow but also a pill that many will reject.

Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge I will also reject you from being a priest for me.

Mark 13:28, Now learn a parable of the fig tree, When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near.

Oftentimes we focus too much on the particulars and end up missing the big picture, but you, beloved, are not like most, for you have come to the Bible as a child indeed.

Matthew 18:3, ...Verily I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Respectfully yours,

Elizabeth Gray

and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews,

and are not but are the synagogue of Satan."

Revelation 2:9

THE 1st REVELATION

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his   servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it   by his angel unto his servant John.

Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and   of all things that he saw.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that her the words of this prophecy,
