We are the conquerors who follow Jesus Christ and have the seal of God in our foreheads.
Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
We have gained victory(conquered) over the beast and his mark.
The mark of the beast is on Adamic man or earth man, them that are earth dwellers and not heaven dwellers these have the mark(mindset) of the beast.
We have overcome the beast and his mark by the blood of Jesus Christ and the word affirmed in our testimony.
Revelation 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
The temple is a symbol of our spiritual perfect place where we commune with God, the holy of holies in our being.
The seven last judgments are to be a spiritual practice of keeping our being free of the Adamic man we no longer adhere to.
Each judgment is a spiritual reality that must be dealt with to continue in and as the Trmple of God.
The conquerors, those governed only by the Holy Spirit renew their minds to the perfection of spiritual reality in Jesus as the perfect man in Ephesians 4:12-13
Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
I'm not using a historic or futurist interpretive method. I'm using a spiritual or or idealist interpretive method.
I read the Revelation of Jesus Christ outside of time, the things of the book are always coming to pass in the body of Christ, in the churches, in the individual saint.
---------all below is quote----------
There have been three, or rather four, main lines of interpretation applied in the course of time to the prophetic word given to John on that never-to-be-forgotten morning which broke over the troubled soul of the aged apostle long ago on the isle of Patmos.
The Preterist. This theory which naturally had a peculiar appeal to the people of God in the early centuries of the Church’s history, holds that the events of the Book are descriptive of the sufferings of the Church in the days of the Roman Caesars and most of the great prophecy was consummated in the downfall of the Roman Empire and the subsequent, establishment of the Christian Church, as the one enduring feature on the page of history.
The Historical. Akin to the Preterist, but in the light of after events extended to embrace the whole of the Church’s history, so that the numbers in Revelation may be actually related to a long succession of historic events which have affected the Church in century after century, leading up to the end of the world.
The Futurist. This is the most popular theory found amongst evangelical people today, and has been dignified with such authority that in some regions a man who does not hold with it is regarded if not as a heretic, at least as a disturber of the peace. The Futurist theory is in its nature historic (like the foregoing) with the important difference that Futurism holds that the Book deals almost entirely with history which has not yet begun, which may be reckoned as being about due to begin in our time, and when it does begin it will have no relevance to the Church at all; by that time the Church will have ceased to exist on the earth, having been removed to the eternal world, this lower earth having been given over to terrible and horrifying judgments chiefly affecting the Jewish people who once again move into the centre of the prophetic picture after a lapse of 2,000 years. It is of interest to note that variations of the Futurist theory have largely been responsible for the founding of the prophetic ‘cults’ which have sprung up in the Western World, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventism, Christadelphianism and numerous smaller bodies. In a lesser degree, Mormonism takes its rise from a very much modified form of Futurism.
The Spiritual Interpretation. This theory holds to the view that the Book is for the people of God in all ages, that the ‘history’ in the Book is subordinate to the overruling consideration that the Book can never be confined in any of its parts to the exclusive use of any age or people, but its message is to all who read, who hear the words of the prophecy, and who keep the sayings written in the Book for the time is always at hand. (Rev.1.3)
It may be said for the Preterists (of whom there is only a slender survival in modern times) that at least they had the advantage of believing that all the Book was for them in the earliest ages of the Church. Though they read into contemporary history more from the Book of Revelation than could be found there, at least they perceived where their consolation lay, and they are to be excused for supposing that their age was to usher in the golden age of Millennial triumph seeing that almost everyone else today is saying the same about THIS age in which we now live.
