The Advent of the Lord in the Third Era
The Fulfilled Prophecies
Part II


In the first section we saw the prophecies from Jesus and Joel, in relation to the opening of the Sixth Seal and the Third Era, that have come to pass.

We will now see the prophecies from John related to the same topic and which appear in the Book of Revelation or Apocalypse, and which real name is the Book of the Seven Seals.

Apocalyptic prophecies about the opening of the Sixth Seal. 


	 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,
	and, lo, there was a great earthquake; 
	and the sun became black as
	sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
	    Apocalypse/Revelation 6:12
So far John's prophecy repeats the prophecies delivered by Jesus to His apostles before the crucifixion and that we have seen in the first part of this work.

But further ahead, even when it takes the allegoric view of the star shower that is part of the material signs that Joel had anticipated, the context seems to refer to something else: The beginning of the communications with the spiritual world, which prelude became Spiritism, so popular in Europe and some American countries in the middle of the last century. One warning: In some Bibles, especially the catholic ones, a verse was added in Deuteronomy or Leviticus, depending on the version, against Spiritism, quoted even by its name, and this verse does not even appear in any of the original biblical texts. We can easily deduce that it was simply a reaction from the religious hierarchies of that time towards the attention that the Spiritism movement was getting from the beginning. 


	And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even
	as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, 
	when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
	And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is
	rolled together; and every mountain and island 
	were moved out of their places.
	And the kings of the earth, and the great men, 
	and the rich men, and the chief captains, 
	and the mighty men, and every bondman,
	and every free man, hid themselves in the dens 
	and in the rocks of the mountains;

	And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
	and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne,
	and from the wrath of the Lamb:
	For the great day of his wrath is come; 
	and who shall be able to stand?
	    Rev. 6:13-17
Here the scatological prophecy of John gets into a more abstract and metaphoric terrain, anticipating the beginning of the communication with spiritual entities which descend from on high to humanity. The appearance of new philosophies and thought currents are commonly spread after the fall of the monarchies. 


The Stars of Heaven Fell
     
		1840 Germany. Jacob Lorber receives messages through 
		automatic writing which he called "the New Revelation".

		1849. Paris and all of Europe is in commotion because of 
		the phenomenon known as "levitating tables". 
		These would inexplicably elevate without apparent 
		physical cause.

		1850. Leon Rivail "Allan Kardec" takes notes of communications 
		from what he calls superior intelligences, 
		which manifests through two young ladies or "mediums".
		He took notes during a period of two years and published 
		them in the book "The Book of Spirits", fundamental work 
		for Spiritism.

		1862. Roque Rojas, Mexican ex-seminarist has a vision that announces
		the imminent opening of the Sixth Seal.

		1866. In Mexico, the beginning of the Third Era
		opens with the manifestation of the Prophet Elijah's spirit
		through the human understanding of Roque Rojas.

		1871. In Scotland, Daniel Dunglas-Hume shows manifestations
		that he assures come from the spiritual world,
		reaching to the point of materializing some of them
		in plain daylight.  His works were never able to be refuted.

		1884. Damiana Oviedo becomes the first spokesman
		of the Holy Spirit and begins the delivery of 
		the Third Testament, taking place in Mexico City.

		1887. In Mexico City, the beginning of the
		manifestations of the spiritual world of light
		through human understanding takes place.
		This continues until December 1950.  During all this time
		there are multiple healings. Time-Life has
		published a book that covers part of these astonishing
		events.



Heaven Departed as a scroll
when it is rolled together...
Rev. 6:14

		This allegory is clear when it refers to the
		disappearance of the old order of ideas, being
		replaced by a new one.

		1762. Rousseau writes "Social Contract", 
		a master piece that has a decisive influence over
		the freedom movements all over the world.

		1776. Adam Smith publishes "Wealth of Nations"
		and establishes the basis of capitalism.

		1776. Proclamation of the Bill of Rights in the American
		Colonies from England.

		1776. Declaration of Independence of these Colonies,
		establishing the United States of
		America.

		1781. Kant publishes his master work "Critique of Pure Reason",
		and proposes rationalism as a theory.

		1786. The Taking of the Bastille in France. 
		The beginning of the French Revolution.

		1789. Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen 
		by the French Assembly.

		1810. Mexico and the South American countries
		initiate independence movements.

		1848. Marx and Engels deliver "The Communist Manifesto"

		1866. The First International meets in Geneva.  Socialism is born. 



The kings and great men
hide themselves...

		The fall of the monarchies is anticipated in this verse.
		And in fact, by the end of the 19th century,
		absolutism practically disappears as a governing system;
		there are some countries with kings and queens
		that have no ruling power and their position is merely symbolic.

		1649. Charles II from England is executed.

		1793. Louis XVI, deposed King of France, goes under the guillotine.

		1832. England's Great Reform Act transfers power to the
		common man, above the royal power.



...and every bond man
and every free man....

		Not only human power was moved; every social class
		felt the arrival of that new era.

		1793. Robespierre restores the "Kingdom of Terror",
		the guillotine colors with blood all of France.

		1861. The opposition of the southern American states, 
		abolition of slavery,  the bloody Civil War breaks.
The opening of the Sixth Seal.

This is the period that Jesus describes as "the beginning of birth pains" (Matthew 24:7). As you will see, humanity entered a phase so turbulent as history has never recorded before. 


        	And after these things I saw four angels standing on
        	the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
        	that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any
        	tree.
        	 And I saw another angel ascending from the east,
        	having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to
        	the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
        	Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the
        	trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
        	And I heard the number of them which were sealed:
        	and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of
        	all the tribes of the children of Israel.
        	  Rev 7: 1-4



And I saw another angel
ascending from the east...


		Since the times of Augustine, theologians and analyzers of the Bible
		agree that here, John is speaking about the Prophet Elijah,
		agreeing with the words from Luke 1:78 and 2 Kings 2:11.
		There is a hypothesis that the Greek myth of Helios
		came from this last verse.

		1866. The spirit of Prophet Elijah manifests through the
		human understanding of Roque Rojas;  he declares that
		it is the opening of the Sixth Seal as well as the beginning of 
		the Third Era. The first "signs" are delivered to men and women 
		who subsequently would bring forth the communications 
		from "the stars in the sky", the spiritual world of light.
After the sign, John's report about his vision of the Sixth Seal seems to jump to Rev. 9:13, where the sixth angel represents the same seal. 

	And the sixth angel sounded,
	and I heard a voice from the four horns of 
	the golden altar which is before God,
	Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
	Loose the four angels which are bound 
	in the great river Euphrates.
	And the four angels were loosed, 
	which were prepared for an hour, and a day,
	and a month, and a year, for to slay the
	third part of men.
	And the number of the army of the horsemen
	were two hundred thousand:
	and I heard the number of them.
	And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and
	them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire,
	and of jacinth, and brimstone:
	and the heads of the horses were as
	the heads of lions;
	and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke
	and brimstone.
	By these three was the third part of men killed,
	by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone,
	which issued out of their mouths.
	     Rev. 9:13-18


Loose the four angels which are
bound in the great river Euphrates...

		1981. Iraq and Iran, on each side of the river Euphrates,
		begin to war.


Fire, smoke and sulfur....

		1981-1991. During a conflict where more than a million people
		died and more than two million are hurt, there were
		land to land missiles, land to air and air to land, as well 
		as millions of rockets and mortars that were used by tanks
		with metallic armors on both sides, they truly looked like
		they were throwing fire and sulfur over the war zone,
		and the smoke columns are visible for several miles.
