---Edwin de Kock is living in Texas but is at the moment dying. He is 93 years old. He wrote a 1000 page research as historian on VICARIUS FILII DEI in the Catholic Church. Many specialists helped him.

---He went beyond what LeRoy Froom and Samuel Bacchiochi found on the topic. The book is a must for anyone wanting to understand 600+60+6 as the number of the beast. This is in Revelation 13.

---For those who love numbers and maths, there is enough in Revelation to look at. Are you a math teacher? Revelation is for you. Better grab a pen and enjoy the book. Right now.

---For the beginner, you need to know there are two sets of glasses that we use for studying the Bible: preteristic and historicistic. The first set deals with things happening in the days of the people in the narrative. The second are spread out in prophecy until eternity arrives again after the new creation by God, after the Hell event described in Revelation 20-22. You need to know this for the Reformers did use the historicist glasses for Daniel 9:24-27 but they did not use it for Daniel 8 and the 2300 days as years in verse 14. So your church may not have the truth about Revelation. Why? They did not change the set of glasses. The Book is clearly spread out from eternity to eternity. Beyond John’s time and our time.

---Is it not persecutions during the days of Nero only? No. There are numbers mentioned in Daniel 7:25 that is repeated in Revelation 12 and linked. It happens only after the end of the Pagan Roman phase of the fourth empire.

---A Harvard scholar thought that the Book is about the Revelations of Canaanite Myths by John. She did her doctoral and research on it. John has the Old Testament in his mind not Canaanite religions.

---God’s messages of the Bible is never a borrowing from surrounding religions. Surrounding religions borrowed from God’s people’s religion. That is true.

---You are definitely more interested now. Grab your smartphone and navigate to the nearest Adventist church in your area. You need to learn how to use the historicist glasses. When? Now.
