John is taken to The LORD’S Day
The Book Of Revelation Prophecies
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Joel 1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
[
Note:
The LORD’S Day is the one thousand year period in which JESUS rules with a Rod of Iron (discipline). It’s purpose is to discipline those that did not learn TRUTH while here in the flesh and fall away to satan as a result. The discipline is to prepare them to overcome satan at the end of The LORD’S Day when they are tested by satan when satan is loosed for a short season. Some make it, some do not. This period is more modernly known as the Millennium and is works only, no GRACE.

In order to understand The Book Of Revelation, we need to realize the time frame at which John sees the vision.
Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
[
Note:
It is estimated by theologians that John saw this vision (The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST) in the year 96 A.D.. In the vision, John is taken to the time when JESUS returns (also known as the beginning The LORD’S Day). The things that John sees in the vision are with reference to The LORD’S Day, therefore are written as past tense from John’s perspective. From the perspective of the year 2018 A.D., JESUS still has not returned, so many of the things John sees in the vision are yet to be fulfilled in our future (for us that dwell on the earth in the year 2018 A.D.). At the end of the vision, John is returned to his normal time of 96 A.D..

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
[
Note:
The things written in verses Revelation 12:7 through 12:9 are spoken of in the past tense from John’s perspective, but these things are yet to happen in our future.
]
Revelation 12:10 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.
[
Note:
Still our future, the accuser (one of the names of satan) of our brethren is cast to earth, as CHRIST takes HIS power. But who are these brethren that satan is accusing to GOD day and night?
Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
It’s GOD’S 7000, the election. We are delivered up for a testimony against satan, at which time THE HOLY SPIRIT will Speak through us.
]
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
[
Note:
As written in Luke 21:12 through 21:19 (shown below), we are delivered up for a testimony against satan. This is the time when THE HOLY SPIRIT will Speak through us. Even the gainsayers (smart mouthed back talkers) cannot go against what THE HOLY SPIRIT Speaks through us. We hate this world, the way that it is. It’s satan’s one world system and we are not part of it. We are not like Lot’s wife, that we would look back and miss any part of it. We are GOD’S possession. We will not give in to satan’s temptations. We will possess our souls and patiently wait for The TRUE CHRIST to return (Luke 21:19).
]
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
[
Note:
This is the hour of temptation. The great tribulation known as Jacob’s trouble that will come upon the whole earth.

The following verses at the end of The Book Of Revelation are where John is about to return to his own time of 96 A.D..
Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
[
Note:
The angel tells John that he is a fellow servant with John. That he is one of the prophets. I wonder which prophet (Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah)? Don’t read over those two verses (Revelation 22:8 and 22:9). The verses show that we will be angels in Heaven. There are other verses that show we used to be angels before coming here to the flesh, but that is a separate study.
]
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
[
Note:
The proper name of The Book Of Revelation is The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST. Revelation is the English translation of the word “Apocalypse” from the Greek language. Apocalypse means “to disclose”, the same as “to reveal” in English. JESUS has removed the Seals, all seven of them. We with eyes to see and ears to hear can understand The Bible, including The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST. That is because we are GOD’S election.
Romans 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Romans 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Romans 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
What is it that we have obtained, that we should not be blinded? Why do we have eyes to see and ears to hear? Because we (some of those angels from the last age) did not bow to satan. We already overcame satan back then. Israel did not obtain it, they did not overcome satan, so they are blinded. It is my opinion that it is merciful of GOD to blind Israel because if they did not overcome satan before, they will likely repeat that failure. By blinding them, they have a chance to overcome satan when the end time Temple is built by Zerubbabel or in the Millennium after the thousand years of Iron Rod discipline. If they still worship satan when they know the TRUTH, that is unforgivable and they would go into the lake of Fire.
Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
And when did we overcome satan?
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
The answer is before the foundation of the world. That is when we had our names written into The Book Of Life. That is when we were predestined. But again, why?
Because we FIRST trusted in CHRIST (before the foundation of the world):
Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
We didn’t bow to satan. We already chose WHO we love. We did not give in to satan’s temptations and deceptions of the last age. We fought with GOD to overthrow satan when satan tried to take GOD’S THRONE. That is what we continue to do as we are delivered up. We fight. We are the warriors of GOD. We are already justified.
Now is the time for those that did not obtain what the election obtained to innocently make their decision without knowledge from before the foundation, to have their chance to come back to our FATHER while they wear the flesh veil. If they overcome, they make the first resurrection.

Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
[
Note:
As it says in verse Revelation 22:11, just plant the seed. Whether it grows or not is GOD’S decision, not ours.
]
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
[
Note:
Verses Revelation 22:6 through 22:15 shows when John returns to 96 A.D.. At this point, John has returned to his own time. Notice verse 22:14 is present tense again. Also notice that verse 22:15 shows that those who do such bad things as listed will not make it to have a right to The Tree Of Life and enter into the gates of the city when that time comes.

The prophecies which show what will happen as we approach that point John speaks of in Revelation chapter twelve. The point in which we are delivered up is when these prophecies are synchronized to the time frame in Revelation chapter twelve when satan is cast to earth as anti CHRIST.
Luke 21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
Luke 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Luke 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Luke 21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
Luke 21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
Luke 21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
[
Note:
For reference, Luke chapter 21 shows the future tense prophecy of our delivering up for a testimony. This is the same delivering up that is shown as past tense in Revelation 12. Also, notice that it is death (one of satan’s names) that we are put to. That means we are delivered up to satan. It does not mean killed in the flesh. In verse Luke 21:18 it states plainly that not a hair on our head will perish. If they cannot hurt a hair on our head, then that means they cannot hurt us. When you see statements like these, you have to look into the meanings of idioms and symbols. After all, we have eyes to see and ears to hear. That is what we are supposed to do.
Why would our family and friends want to turn us in to satan? It’s because they love us. It’s because they think that satan is JESUS and they want to get us saved. But they do not know what we know; that it’s satan disguising himself as CHRIST, but he is anti CHRIST. Anti in the Greek language means “instead of”, not against. The devil has two horns like a lamb, but speaks as a dragon. That is because he is the dragon pretending to be GOD, in the form of CHRIST. We know this and would not give in to his temptations. For us, the election, giving in to satan’s temptations would be The UNFORGIVABLE Sin.
2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 Thessalonians 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Conclusion:
The time frame of Revelation can be seen by realizing the opening and closing verses to the book. It is essential to know this in order to understand the prophecy.
