The Three Kinds of Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Three Kinds of Plagues of the New Covenant Revelation

① The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches (Rv 1:20).

② But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets (Rv 10:7).

③ This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH… I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come (Rv 17:5-8).

These are the three kinds of mysteries of the New Covenant Revelation. These mysteries are recorded in parables (Mt 13:10-11), and there is also a mystery recorded in 1Cor 15:51-54 (mystery of ②).

The seventh trumpet, which is the last trumpet amongst the seven trumpets, is blown from Rv 11:15. And its power is so great that the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of God. Also, Apostle Paul said in 1Cor 15:51-54 that at the sound of the last, seventh trumpet, the spirits of the dead are changed to become like the divine spirits (spiritual beings) of heaven. And we, whose physical bodies are still alive, are also changed, so when the perishable becomes imperishable and the mortal is clothed with immortality, death will be swallowed up by life.

Jesus said in Mt 13:37-43 that the time of the harvest is the end of the age. Why is the time of the harvest the end of the age? It is because at this time, everyone besides those who have been born of God’s seed is burned. Jesus said in Lk 17:22-30 that the time of Jesus’ second coming is like the time of Noah and Lot. At the time of Lot, a bolt of lightning came down and destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. This is why the time of the harvest is referred to as the end of the age.

The events of Revelation are events that take place through Jesus’ second coming.

① Every time Jesus opened a seal of God’s book sealed with seven seals, there was a plague (Rv 6), and when the last seal is opened in Rv 8, the seven trumpets appeared.

② Amongst these seven trumpets, there was a plague every time a trumpet was blown up until the sixth trumpet. The last, seventh trumpet is blown in Rv 11:15.

③ After this, in Rv 15, the seven bowls of wrath appear. These seven bowls were those who overcame in Rv 12. These are those who fought and overcame the dragon’s group, the beast with seven heads and ten horns, his image, and the number of his name, and as a result, they became the seven bowls filled with wrath in Rv 15. The seven angels took these seven bowls and poured them out on the betrayers and the destroyer’s kingdom and throne and judged them. At that time, the great city of Babylon split into three parts.

These seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls are the three kinds of plagues. Have you ever seen these events?

One must know the three kinds of mysteries and the three kinds of plagues recorded in this book of Revelation, and one must know the hour of trial that has come upon the whole world of Rv 3 and the time of the great tribulation of Rv 7. One must overcome these things in order to be saved. One is not saved just by saying, “Lord, Lord,” but one must understand and keep the recorded words of promise, overcome the trial and great tribulation, and stand firm to the end.

If one knows that there will be suffering as recorded in Mt 10:15-31, one will be able to overcome. Do you know this suffering? Have you ever been afflicted with this suffering? Those who are born of God’s seed and those who have been freed from sin through Jesus’ blood will easily overcome all these things. We are God’s family and the people of the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, we wait in anticipation for the day God reigns. For this, we must overcome. Amen.
