JOHN 8:31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If you continue in My word, Then are you My disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
I was happy with the interpretation I already had for the Book of Revelation. This new information conflicted with what I had already accepted to be the truth.
I prayed to the Lord and asked Him what I should do. He brought to my attention Daniel, chapter 9 when the Tribe of Judah had sinned by serving other gods. They were living in a wonderful land and had forgotten how they came to be there. To punish the tribe for their sins, God, Who was in complete control, sent them into captivity for seventy years.
Daniel, a young man at the time, because of his continued loyalty to the Lord, was rewarded during the tribe’s time in captivity. In chapter 9 of the book of Daniel, he was given another meaning to the 70 years while they were under the control of the Babylon Empire. Gabriel revealed to Daniel that seventy years could be multiplied by seven or a week (70 x 7 weeks), which converts to 490 years. The Seventy weeks were determined to the people and the holy city. At the end of this time transgression against sins will be finished (9:24–26).
The Lord was telling me, as He did with Daniel and the 70 weeks, there is something else we need to look at in the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Most of us have read through this book so many times and we tend to overlook some important, useful information.
Although the Lord told me to look at the rewards He gave to the overcomers (re-born believers) of the first four churches, I wanted to see if this new, open door would enlighten other books of the Bible.
Continuing to study the scriptures, I noticed that parts of the Book of Revelation could be considered symbolic. The basis for this belief is revealed in three places: Malachi, John, and Matthew.
In Malachi 4:5–6, it prophecies that Elijah will return before the Day of the Lord. But when John was asked if he was Elijah in John 1:21, he said that he was not. However, in Matthew 11:11–14, Jesus said if we would receive John, he was Elijah.
John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah (Luke 1:17). This is the reason for my belief that some parts of the Bible can be interpreted in the spirit of their meaning.
Keeping this information in mind, I starting to re-read the Bible from the beginning. There are so many interesting facts in the Bible, especially in Genesis, where mankind began. I remembered hearing these great stories when I was younger: the creation of Adam and Eve, Noah and the Ark, Moses and the Ten Commandments. With the information available, Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, was revealed to be the first man born of everyone living upon this earth. By using the family tree of Jesus, displayed in The Great Awakening, mankind’s timeline was easily traced.
To God’s Elect,
The Book of Revelation is known as the enlightening of Jesus Christ. In the first chapter, I believe Jesus tells us how to find its true meaning. He said in Revelation 1:8, 11, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. Mankind needs to compare past events to discover the future. Adam and Eve were created over 6,000 years ago. Seth, their third son, was the firstborn of Jesus as well as everyone who has, is and will live upon this earth. He is the Alpha, the beginning, of the son of man. Seth began his 6,000th birthday celebration sometime in 2016, we do not know the day or hour.
Mankind’s past sins appear to be revealed in the rewards of the overcomers, born-again believers of the seven churches. Those of the first church, identified as the first golden candlestick, were told they had left their first love. This reminded me of when Adam and Eve sinned by eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and then hid themselves from God, their first love. However, the overcomers of the first church would receive renewed access to the Tree of Life. This is something Adam and Eve lost over 6,000 years ago.
The second church, or second golden candlestick, was told that overcomers would not be hurt of the second death, God’s Final Judgment. During the time of Noah, a great flood came and punished anyone who did not listen to God’s warnings. Our Lord sentenced everyone not upon the Ark to His Final Judgment. He also said He would do the same to anyone not born again.
Born-again believers and overcomers of the third church, or third golden candlestick, would receive the hidden manna, the bread of life. At the time of Moses, God provided manna, food for the Israelites. This lasted for forty years, but it fed only their flesh. However, the bread of life will feed their souls for eternity.
The fourth church overcomers, or fourth golden candlestick, received power over the nations and a new name. Believers of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ renewed their birthright with God and were called His sons or daughters. God’s children will inherit a great gift-salvation and an everlasting life.
For overcomers of the fifth church or golden candlestick, Jesus will confess their names to our heavenly Father. After Jesus ascended into the heavens, He sat down at the right hand of God and Satan’s seat was lost. The son of man is now represented in heaven, from the firstborn Seth, to every one of us today.
It appears that God used the history of mankind to explain the Book of Revelation. The sixth church have received an open door. I believe this refers to the 6,000th birthday of the son of man. According to 2 Peter 3:8, 6,000 years are equal to 6 days to God. The next day, the seventh, is called the Sabbath Day. The seventh church overcomers will be with God. The reward of the churches appears to begin at Alpha with Adam and Eve and continue through mankind’s existence to the end, or Omega, when he will be with God.
This letter reviews only the seven churches in chapters 1-3 of the Book of Revelation. The book, The Great Awakening, the Week of Enlightenment (WOE), examines the remaining chapters. Using stories from our past and present like Adam and Eve, Noah and the Ark, Moses and the Ten Commandments, and the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God reveals our future. To ignore the truth of God is a great sin.
JOHN 8:31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If you continue in My word, Then are you My disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Our Approach
Meet the Author
Since the age of 12, I have been fascinated with the Book of Revelation. It was like an unsolved puzzle that I researched and studied for many years. By the age of 42, I thought I knew everything there was to know about this book of prophecy. I felt that with the information I had learned, whenever Satan made his attack, I was ready to do whatever it took to help God.
Unfortunately, because of all my self-confidence in my knowledge, when I read the Book of Revelation, I would just skim through it. I had studied on and off for about 30 years and thought there was nothing else to learn, until one night I had a dream. I was standing before Jesus.
I told Jesus that I had sinned. Just like the original sin of Adam and Eve, I, too, from time to time, have doubted the words of God. Jesus forgave me and climbed onto my shoulders. It felt like Jesus was putting His hands on my head. My mind began to warm up. After a short time, He got off, and I awoke.
As I was wondering what the dream meant, I started to read the Bible. This time, something new happened. As I began to read, it was like my mind was opening up. New thoughts and ideas refreshed my mind. I felt like an open door was being shown to me, almost like hearing a new song that lifts you up.
The next couple of months were filled with enthusiasm. I felt young again. Soon after that, I re-read the first three chapters of Revelation, I heard the Lord speak to me:
Look at the rewards I gave to the overcomers [born-again believers] of the first four churches. The 1st church overcomers will be able to eat from the Tree of Life. The 2nd church overcomers would not be hurt by the second death. The 3rd church overcomers were given the hidden manna and a new name. The 4th church overcomers would receive power over the nations.
I read through the first three chapters in the Book of Revelation again, this time with an open mind. I noticed that each church that overcame the sins of their fathers was rewarded with what past generations had lost.
There are definite similarities between events occurring in the history of man and those of first five churches. I wondered if there were even more similarities in the Book of Revelation that we had overlooked for many years. In this book, The Great Awakening, I share what was revealed to me. I thank God that He opened my heart, mind and soul to the new things He has planned for us.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto his servant John: Who bore record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that He saw. Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand (Rev. 1:1−3).
Our Story
JOHN 8:31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If you continue in My word, Then are you My disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Welcome
Welcome to the Great Awakening. This website will present the Biblical proof of the timeline of our Heavenly Father. The 1st week, the Week of Creation (WOC), our Lord created the earth, the animals and then on the 6th day, man and woman. He rested on the 7th.
The 2nd week, Week of Enlightenment (WOE), God created Adam, a garden, animals and women. All these events took place on the 1st day of Woe. Day 2, God told Noah to build an Ark because a flood was coming. Day 3, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments for His people. Day 4, God provided proof of life after death through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ. Days 5 and 6, God through His witnesses, continued spreading the good news that Jesus is alive and at the right hand of our Creator.
Satan at the same time separated God’s people with his lie on the tribulation, rapture and the 2nd physical coming of Jesus Christ. Day 7, God is revealing the truth through the bloodline of Jesus. This 1,000 years is called the spiritual reign of Christ. Help spread the good news that the tribulation, rapture and the 2nd physical coming of Jesus will not take place for another 1,000 years.
It is time for a great revival of God’s people. Come and see what the bloodline of Jesus Christ is telling you.
The Bloodline of Jesus Christ
This chart will take you through the family tree of Jesus Christ. From the birth of Seth to his 6,000th birthday.
- 1426 - From the birth of Seth, the firstborn ancestor of Jesus Christ, to the birth of Shem, Noah’s firstborn son was 1426 years. Biblical Reference (BR) Gen. 5:1-32.
- 392 – From the birth of Shem to the birth of Abraham was 392 years. (BR) Gen 11:10-32.
- 100 – Abraham was 100 years old when he had Isaac. (BR) Gen 21:6.
- 60 – Isaac was 60 years old when he had Jacob. (BR) Gen 25:26.
- 130 – Jacob was 130 years old when Israel moved to Egypt. (BR) Gen 47:9.
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty (130) years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
- 430 - Israel lived in Egypt for 430 years. (BR) Exodus 12:40.
- Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty (430) years.
- 476 – It was 476 years from the Exodus of Israel to the beginning of Solomon’s reign. (BR) 1 Kings 6:1.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth (480) year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth (4) year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord
- 970 BC – From the birth of Jesus Christ to the beginning of Solomon’s reign was 970 years.
- 3984 BC – From the birth of Jesus Christ to the birth of Seth was 3984 years. (1426+392+100+60+130+430+476+970=3984)
- 2016 AD – From the birth of Jesus to 2016.
- 6,000 After the Birth of Seth - From the birth of Seth to 2016 is exactly 6,000 years. (3984+2016=6,000)
According to 2 Peter 3:8, 6,000 years to man is equal to 6 days to our Heavenly Father.
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.
God rested on the 7th day of creation. The 4th commandment tells us to remember the 7th, Sabbath Day. Jesus was perfect and followed all the commandments and God is giving the son of man a Sabbath Day.
Three major events started in 2016 AD. First, the Sabbath Day of the birth of the bloodline of Jesus Christ began. Second, the 1,000 year spiritual reign of Christ started. Third, with the truth of the bloodline of Jesus Christ revealed, we know that the Final Tribulation and the physical 2nd coming of Christ will not take place for another 1,000 years. Satan, who separated God’s people for so long, is now bound for 1,000 years.
The book called The Great Awakening reveals many more new revelations that will bound Satan’s false prophets for 1,000 years. Join with us in sharing the good news that God has given His children another 1,000 years to repent and follow Him.
This revelation was provided by The Great Awakening with consent.

To the Reader
I was happy with the interpretation I already had. This new information conflicted with what I accepted as the truth. I prayed to the Lord and asked Him what I should do.
Revelation
The Lord showed me a wonderful way to look at the Book of Revelation. By using the history of mankind, we can see how the Bible applies to our everyday lives. Forming a relationship with our Heavenly Father can be very rewarding. Read our pamphlet for a sample of what can be found in The Great Awakening.
