---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.
