Apr.13/26 Addendum for The Convoluted And Divisive Narrative Of The End Game Of The 'Mystery Of Iniquity'
Given all of the variables in play at this time (illegal immigrant invasion/faux refugees, Iran war, Palestine, Zionism, the reputed 'pope' being globalist and the U.S. being Zionist, reputedly anti-globalist and the pariah according to the narrative) as well as the votefraud which has just been perpetrated in Hungary, we will re-form our conclusions:
The narrative appears to be as follows: The West vs. East (Islam) conflict, set-up in the long term since 9/11, is sparked by the illegal immigrant invasion piggybacking from refugee claims following America's wars (for Zionism in the long term, whether or not other motives are given). The refugee claims were the gateway for this illegal immigrant invasion. Because of this, there is much resentment and anger stoked against Islam and Moslems in general, even those who have nothing to do with all of this and remain where they are. This resentment is used to deaden opposition to the Iran war, and the faux 'Free Palestine' movement which is an opposition front for Zionism focuses that resentment and anger against Palestine at first, and then Iran, so as to encourage support for the Zionist wars. In the midst of this is Russia (and to a small extent Hungary) which are set up as opposition to the U.S. and Europe (Hungary was, until now, in the position of not being opposed to either the US or Russia and is neutral on Zionism, which complicates the whole narrative). In this way the 'left' are used to appear to support Iran and Palestine, though either of them in terms of ideology run entirely counter to leftist wokeism, and the 'right' are used to support Zionism by opposing Zionism's opposition by being against the illegal immigrant invasions which appear to be entirely unconnected to Iran and Palestine, but which nonetheless is used to gain support for Israel against them.
It is all very convoluted. What it all adds up to is also difficult to see, because we believe the globalists' plans will go awry, and the end of all of these things will not be exactly as they intend. What should happen is a clash between East and West in which the West (Europe and North America) are defeated; or that they should defeat each other. This only makes sense if the Zionists/globalists have control of Russia and China (as we believe they do); but the Zionists and the globalists are not exactly the same. Even Zionism might be sacrificed for the 'new world order'.
And this dichotomy is, we believe, where their plans will go awry, and which must result in the sixth seal event (see "Last Three Seals In Our Time"). The events of Apocalypse chapter thirteen cannot be fulfilled if much of the world is cratered, so such a war must be interrupted.
Mar.29/26 Short but understated point for The Apparition Of Chapter One.
When St. John was at the Cross with Our Lord Crucified and His Most Holy Mother:
"When
Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he
loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. After that, he
saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And
from that hour, the disciple took her to his own" (John 19:26-27).
from that hour, the disciple took her to his own" (John 19:26-27).
This article about St. Joseph may also be of interest. In a sense, he was the first Head of the Church, represented by the Holy Family: St Joseph and the Church – Mgr Guérard des Lauriers
Mar.13/26 Fifth seal addendum, largely from "6 Planets Align On February 28, 2026"
Addendum Fifth Seal: The Epstein Files
It is quite possible to see in the martyrs' complaint a reference to those infamous files, their long-delayed release, and even then not in full, as well as the lack of progress in the enactment of justice:
"And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" (Apoc. 6:10).
The victims are thus spoken for by the martyrs. They are not themselves martyrs, and they did not die for the Faith, but they nevertheless did die, in a sense, as victims who were used by the 'mystery of iniquity' to extend their control over the earth; in fact, the 'mystery of iniquity' may be said to be part of the definition of "them that dwell on the earth" - those who live for the world, by the world, and without regard for eternity; for good or even for ill.
However, we do not believe this to be the fifth seal's opening, for reasons given in "6 Planets Align On February 28, 2026", which is quoted again here:
Recent Events And The Fifth Seal
When the fifth is opened, St. John saw "under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth ?" (Apoc. 6:10-11). An argument can perhaps be made that the long-awaited release of the 'Epstein Files' represents the opening of this seal. After all, no serious prosecutions have been made thus far (as of Feb. 26, 2026) so the martyrs’ words can be said to concern that lack of justice. And then they were told to 'wait a little time' until the future martyrs, those of these times, are to be 'filled up' (Apoc. 6:11). A 'little time' can be less than a year, as a 'time' represents a year in Apocalypse. But we do not think so.
Without again going into all of the reasons why, we believe the opening of the fifth seal to be the world-wide fake pandemic (2020). It did not actually exist, which is why the occasion of the fifth seal’s opening was not mentioned in the text. If a 'pandemic' or something similar were spoken of in the text, the impression would be given that it is real according to Scripture, and that would be an error. Since Scripture cannot err, its silence on the subject confirms the truth about the event, and confirms those who saw the truth - who will be numbered among those spoken of as the 'brethren' of the martyrs.
At the time, many people accepted what might be considered to be the precursor to the mark of the beast. And many denied the truth of the situation. From that point the good and the bad (those who will believe the truth and those who will not) began to be sorted in earnest.
The martyrs were told to wait 'a little time' until the number of their future brethren should be 'filled up'. From the fourth seal to the fifth (1965-2020) is fifty-five years; in comparison, 2020-2026 is indeed 'a little time', or one-tenth part. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September 2025, when the nastiness of one side was seen clearly, to the aforementioned Epstein Files, which seems to have the effect of further sorting those who might believe the truth from those who do not (but in a different sense, which we will not examine here), and further still, later this year, when the SSPX will consecrate new bishops in defiance of the Vatican which might ultimately result in a real full schism from "The Second Vatican" (the 'New Church' of 'Vatican II'), resulting in a noticeably large number leaving Rome to become sedevacantist, it appears that the number which is to be 'filled up' is soon to be accomplished.
Feb.28/26 Blood Moon addition. There is a ‘blood moon’ on Mar. 2-3, 2026. This should be in context of the ‘planetary alignment’, as there are too many things too close together: https://x.com/DavidSmuts/status/2027471908367962612?s=20
Jan.12-14/26
Additional note at end of "Book Of Life Thesis - Synopsis - History From The Perspective Of Apocalypse".
*** By now many have heard of the vaunted "Great Reset" which is part of the aim of the globalists when building their kingdom of the antichrist. We think there is a kind of 'Reset' coming, although it will not be what they think it is. In loose connection with the 'Two Timelines' theory we think that, as all of Catholic prophetic history seemed to concern the first timeline only, when near the end it shifted to the second, there was a kind of 'reset'. However, it is not easy to define exactly what happened. The short answer is that everything we thought we knew about these times is wrong. Not that Catholic prophecy was wrong, but that until Fatima, everything pointed to the first timeline only. We think this happened not to confound us, but to confound the devil. As we said earlier in this note, "the odds will be even".
[Jan.14/26 edit:] There are usually parallels between one thing and another in all this, although it is not always readily apparent, at least not at first. For instance, we see the modern-day antichurch built upon Vatican '2' and nothing else (although it is built from the Church which previously inhered therein, but as of a departure, not continuity); in an odd way, the 'two timelines' scenario is similar, in that everything we thought we knew concerning the end-times was predicated upon the first timeline's fulfillment. We do not mean to do as Vatican '2' and say that everything we believed previously concerning the last times is of no use; on the contrary, the second timeline can be understood only when the first has 'passed away' (not 'come to pass'). It is the contrast between the two scenarios which sheds light on the second and actual timeline. (Discussed in footnote 89A here; [Two Timelines, Part 3, Section VIII]).
Jan.10/26
The "Miscellaneous" section will be replaced with something called the "Last Times Observatory" or "Near-End Times Observatory" which will be the actual conventional blog section. The title ought not to give the impression that we are in the 'End-Times' prior to the Second Coming, but it is the "Last Times" leading up to it; but the 'period of peace' is yet to come. It will have an archive page where the older parts are linked. It will be next to the "Twitter / X" section as it will likely be often referenced. [ Jan.12/26 ] ** "Miscellaneous" will stay as-is.
The Equality/Equalism section is really the "Operation Of Error" section but as we consider them synonymous, or close enough, that will not be changed, except "Operation Of Error"- specific posts will be subtitled "Dissecting The Operation Of Error" as a subsection of sorts.
Then there will be a new section which is continuing commentary on the Apocalypse. Expanding upon what has already been done but not as 'addendums' (those, if any, will be marked here and appended to the main sections). Some kind of title is needed but not with the word "Apocalypse" in it, as potentially everything here can be titled "Apocalypse this" "Apocalypse that", etc. Perhaps it will be "Non-Canonical Continuity" as everything up until "Flipping The Script" is the 'canonical' interpretation, centered on the 'Two Timelines' theory wherein everything up until now Dec. 2025 is taken into account. A few parts of "Flipping" is 'canonical' but it is the first part to really go ahead rather than accounting for things past (which includes all things past which concerns the future but which is not part of Apocalypse. That 'accounting for everything in the past').
Dec.31/25
Addendum for "Final Notes" before footnotes in "Flipping The Script" (Not in its final form):
[Jan.2/26 Edited: The 'Accuser' (Apoc.12:10) is a reference here to both the devil and the antichrist. Essentially the antichrist is (will be) doing the equivalent of what the devil was doing as described in Apocalypse 12].
The Accuser will accuse Catholics (sedevacantists) of judging and damning everyone who are not exactly the same as themselves. Also, those former Catholics who have followed the antipopes all the way to the end (when the antichrist arrives following his seven predecessors) will have subsequently lost the Faith and will join the antichrist in condemning everyone who has kept the Faith as those who judge and damn everyone who does not. It is entirely expected that Matt.7:1-2 will be quoted against the faithful: "Judge not, that you may not be judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again".
The thing is, when the sedevacantists keep the standard of what the Church teaches about salvation, they are keeping the teaching of the Church as opposed to the antichrist; whereas the antichrist will arrogate to himself what properly belongs to the book of life and to the Church (responsible for the book being unsealed). In other words, he does not keep Church teaching but accuses the faithful of not being faithful to the Church (represented by himself).
So to flip the script, the Accuser/antichrist accuses true Catholics of being the Accuser/antichrist (if he were to be a group collective and not an individual). True Catholics, speaking of sin, will seem as the Accuser to a world following the 6th seal event (Apoc. 6:12-17). The world will be 'blindly' seeking salvation. This is what the antichrist claims to bring - as the one whom all must follow for salvation, as if he were the Pope representing Christ - whereas the real truth is that he is the one person everyone must not follow. And the true Catholics will give all the reasons why; and the antichrist will 'flip' that by referring to sedevacantists 'the Accuser' (Apoc. 12:10), even as they rightly accuse the antichrist and his precursors of heresies and so forth. It may be further 'flipped', using Apocalypse 12, by referring to sedevacantists as allies of the devil who were 'cast out of Heaven' (Apoc. 12:9) in a metaphorical way, by - and one can hardly miss where this is going - refusing to submit to the antipopes. In a way it is circular: The sedevacantists are outcasts in a sense, in the world, and the demons are cast out of Heaven, but for entirely opposite reasons; but for those who are blind to the truth the metaphorical 'flipping the script' of Apocalypse 12 and Matt.7:1-2 (and others) will seem to make sense.

"He, that sitteth on the throne" update.
Unfinished verses of Apoc. Ch. 4 in The Four Living Creatures And The Seals ("A Throne Set In Heaven") continued as Addendum to Apparition Of Chapter One.
Dec.06/25 Addendum
St.
Joseph is 'He, that sitteth on the throne' and we consider that we have
sufficient reason for saying it is so. First of all, it does not make
him God the Father. In the vision of St. John, the honour paid to 'he,
that sitteth on the throne', is comparable to the honour paid to the
Pope. It is not due to the particular man on the Chair of St. Peter so
much as the Office which he represents. The throne represents the office
of The Father, or as it may be called, the office of the Holy Father.
The
papacy is based in some way upon the office of St. Joseph in his life
with the Holy Family. St. Peter was the first to recognize Our Lord for
Who He is on Faith whereas St. Joseph knew from the beginning. This
relationship can be explored further at another time.
Someone
sits upon the throne. And "from the throne proceeded lightnings, and
voices, and thunders; and there were seven lamps burning before the
throne, which are the seven spirits of God" (Apoc. 4:5). All these
'proceed from the throne' as it, and its occupant, represent in some way
the will of the Father.
And
the four living creatures are also "in the midst of the throne, and
round about the throne" representing the Mother of God's relation to
both God and Her earthly spouse, St. Joseph, since it is he who 'sitteth
on the throne'.
The Holy Family is also to be found, complete, in Apocalypse:
"And
I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living
creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were
slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of
God, sent forth into all the earth" (Apoc. 5:6).
St. Joseph's status ought to be given consideration for a dogmatic definition in the future.
Nov.22/25
26B. Depends on whether their Lord is Our Lord or St. Peter. If they speak for the Church at this time when there is no pope but instead the antichrist then it may well be the latter. The fact that it cannot easily be said which tells us that it is meant to conceal a truth which would become apparent at the time; but it is not known why; unless it was necessary as part of the 'secret' of Apocalypse (see 'Part Three').
[* Nov.22/25 edit: Their Lord is the last pope, 'Petrus Romanus', who was 'taken out of the way' according to the first timeline scenario. Then the great city, 'called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt', could be anywhere.]

Sept.17/25
("Last Three Seals In Our Time" updated)
[Sept. 21 addition, added at end]:
The effect of the public murder of one who speaks against the
'operation of error' is, spiritually, very similar to the reaction of
the world to the murder of the two witnesses of Apocalypse chapter 11 at the hands of the antichrist:
"And
they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry:
and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets
tormented them that dwelt upon the earth" (Apoc. 11:10).
Addendum to Fifth Seal: The Charlie Kirk Shooting
The Fifth Seal was figured to be the 'conjob19' which came to prominence in March 2020. The reasons are given above; but the Charlie Kirk shooting bears examination in that light, as there are obvious correlations with the Fifth Seal.
From the start it should be noted that, given the depths of the 'mystery of iniquity' and its 'operation of error' (2 Thess. 2:7, 10-11), nothing is off the table in regards to what may be real or false.
By this point many things have been said about the event, including that the apparent shooter is a patsy and someone (or some others) are responsible; and even that the event itself was staged in that Kirk was 'written out of the script' and not actually shot. Here we are not interested in answering those questions but we are interested in its possible application to the Fifth Seal.
One of the things to keep in mind is the polarizing effect it has had on many; on one side, people are shocked and sympathetic; on the other, they celebrate and are nasty. It is perhaps more accurate to say that the event is not so much polarizing as it is revealing. What it revealed is the depths of spiritual darkness of many; but it did not add to it.
There are three possibilities: Either they are both the 5th Seal (unlikely); or conjob19 prefigured Charlie Kirk as the locus of the 5th Seal's opening (unlikely); or this event is the 'sign' of when the martyrs' "fellow servants and their brethren...should be filled up". (The second possibility means that as the 'vaccine' is a 'type' of the mark of the beast, this shooting is a 'type' of martyrdom of those who are for the truth, however imperfectly).
The thing is, even if, for arguments' sake, the whole thing was a staged psyop (and for what reason that might be is not our consideration) the three possibilities still hold equally true.
One may argue that, since this occurred during Trump's second tenure as figurehead, that now the martyrs may well cry out (in a loud voice) "How long, O Lord (holy and true) dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth"? After all, nothing much was done during the Trump's first tenure to bring to justice many for their crimes; and now also there is seemingly not much progress (perhaps for a token few), although there is much talk thus far. (As for whether or not certain public figures are genuine, or compromised, or acting, or a mixture of all three, is not our consideration; again, we are interested only in the application to Apocalypse).
This would beg the question of whether Charlie Kirk was a true martyr or not; if so, then a martyr in what sense ? Would that account for the reference to the martyr souls 'under the altar' ?[9A]
The Roman martyrology includes only Catholic martyrs, who died for the Faith. In our times, he can be said to have died for the truth in a more general sense. He was not Catholic, but he was opposed to the 'wokeist' (as it is called) ideology which is prevalent today. The worst aspects of that ideology can be seen in the gender confusion, the errors regarding the sexes, and all such scandals (and nonsense). Such things are part of the 'operation of error' spoken of by St. Paul; and as he goes on to say that this operation was sent by God so "that all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity" it is in this sense that one can be called a 'martyr' for the truth, if not for the Faith, specifically.
St. Paul had also told us that "he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way", meaning the papacy (in 1958), and what this means is one is not judged, then, on one's adherence, or not, to the papacy which is 'taken away'. That is partly why the 'operation of error' is sent instead. If it were not so, then it would be overkill on the devil's part, since as most people do not believe in the true papacy anyway, there should be no need to drive them further to the truth (if they have an affinity for the truth) with ever more flagrant errors by which all seem to be in the process of being divided even now. But we digress, and whether this view is true or not will have to be seen[9B]; but for now it only seems that those who believe the truth tend to believe it more and more; and those who do not, less and less.
This event could not, in any case, avoid comparison with the 5th Seal. However, the old conclusion is not changed; and here is why:
The martyrs' complaint ("How long, O Lord, etc") already accounts for the great length of time from the opening of the 4th Seal, 1965, until 2020 (55 years); and also accounts for the apparent chance for justice to begin to be brought about during Trump's first tenure, and the failure for to do. What was also said is that they should wait:
"And white robes were given to every one of them one; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till their fellow servants, and their brethren, who are to be slain, even as they, should be filled up".
So when the 5th Seal was opened, the number of future martyrs was not yet filled up; but it will have been filled up 'a little time' afterwards. Five years later would qualify as 'a little time' compared to the fifty-five years previous. That is one reason.
The reaction of many on the 'left', but also really the polarized reactions in general, would seem to indicate that most people are, by now, firmly on one side or the other. Most people's minds are made up, at least in a general sense, on which side they would be. This would seem to be an indirect indicator that the number of those who would 'fill up' the future martyrs also have their minds firmly made up.
So the event is not the 5th Seal, but a sign that the 'little time' spoken of to the souls under the altar has come to an end.[9C]
It was said to them that they should rest a little time "till their fellow servants and their brethren, who are to be slain even as they" should be complete. This means first of all the remnant Church who exist scattered about in a world given to all error, which is not unlike the days of pagan Rome. It might also indicate those who have not come to sedevacantism yet, but will when the time comes; that is to say, those who will not follow the beast and antichrist when his time has come.
Part of the 'polarizing' effect spoken of is a result of the 'vaccine' which was inflicted as a result of conjob19. Part of its effect seems to be a deadening of logic and good sense. It would make sense, then, that the number of future martyrs is 'filled up' primarily by those who had refused it. There might be those who repented after the fact or who were coerced to a great extent; but one cannot be sure in those cases.
To sum up: The text of the 5th Seal never indicated what was the occasion of its opening;
In 2020 we had an event with world-wide effect based on something which did not exist, and its effect was also to lessen the ability of many to heed the truth (even less so than before). Years later it might have resulted in a certain number to be 'filled up'.
In 2025 we have an event noted the world over which, if true, is a 'sign' that the number is indeed filled in the years since 2020. If not true, then it qualifies as what was not indicated in the 5th Seal verses as the occasion for its opening, and henceforth the number of future martyrs is 'to be filled up' beginning now (Sept. 2025).
It is odd that they both seem to fit.
[Sept. 21 addition]:
The effect of the public murder of one who speaks against the 'operation of error' is, spiritually, very similar to the reaction of the world to the murder of the two witnesses of Apocalypse chapter 11 at the hands of the antichrist:
"And
they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry:
and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets
tormented them that dwelt upon the earth" (Apoc. 11:10).
** Update: The 'psyop' angle seems to be eliminated. Again, all things have to be considered. (Sept. 29: There is something wrong with all of that, but it does not change any of our conclusions.)
*** Considering the 2020 or 2025 duality above: If opened 2020 (as is
our official stance), the martyrs' words can still refer to 2025 even then (as they are outside of time), as the sign that the number is 'filled up' (almost everyone's minds are made up, or 'locked in').
Footnotes
9A. Let us say, for arguments' sake, that the whole thing was a staged psyop: In that sense, the martyrs' "How long, O Lord, etc" is in the sense as of disbelief in the many layers of the deception of the 'operation of error'. Seeing the world mourn a martyr who is not a martyr (if a psyop) but would be a kind of martyr for a great deal of the truth at least, and derided by the other part of the world as if he were a true Catholic martyr, but is not (again, if a psyop); because the 'operation of error' is so great that someone who is nominally half-Catholic (in the classic, true sense) in principles and in philosophy at least, qualifies as a kind of martyr for the principle of truth. In short, the idea of someone being 'martyred' for even a certain, if incomplete, level of truth (whether it was a psyop or not) and having such a polarizing and revealing effect on both sides might explain the complaint of the souls under the altar of the 5th Seal.
9B. It is explored in "The Two Timelines Of Apocalypse (Part Three)" in particular.
9C. In the previous footnote [9A] is what the martyrs' statement would mean if the seal were opened now instead of 2020. The original interpretation, which we still hold, held that the particular event which opened the seal represented something which did not actually exist (conjob19), so it could not be indicated without 'legitimizing' it. Now if this murder was a psyop, it, too, represented something which did not exist, but is treated as though it did. In this sense the reference to the martyrs fits very well in that they complain that one is treated as a martyr as they are if he is not one at all.

Addendum
It is to be admitted that the 'stoppage of time' for the signing of the elect seems unlikely, even after the miracle of the sun, which by now is outside of living memory, and so distant as to be almost legend. If there is an alternative, then it may happen in one of two ways:
(1) There are several angels to sign the elect ("we" in verse three).
(2) The time accelerates for the signer and his angel but not the signees, or slows for the world except for the signers.
First let us look at the time constraints. There are at least 144,000 to sign, in many places in the world. According to the ordering of the verses, the seventh seal is opened shortly after the elect are signed. False Garabandal only says that it will come "after the promised miracle" but gives no further details.
If there were only one person to do this signing, presumably the Holy Father, then even accompanied by an angel he would have to do four hundred signings a day every day for one year, which amounts to thirty three an hour assuming he is doing it for twelve hours a day. This is assuming it is done under 'normal' conditions, and does not account for any delays.
It seems reasonable to assume that all of the elect are signed by the time the seventh seal is opened. The tribulations announced by the trumpets will not be happening while this is going on, as the angel indicated in verse three: "...Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads". Also, all of the elect will survive the tribulation announced by the trumpets, as their appearance upon Mt. Sion in chapter fourteen does not admit of any diminution of their number; so also all of them are confirmed before it begins.
Of the first alternative, it is not possible that it is only angels to sign the elect, for they can do it in an hour, and there would be no need for the four angels to hold the winds of the earth to give them time. It also is not possible because it is presumably the Holy Father who 'confirms' them as elect, each individually, and this role is not to be delegated.
Of the second alternative, it is more likely to slow for the world except for the signers, given the actions of the four angels who hold the winds; but it is less likely that those who are being signed would not be conscious of the fact; that time is slowed for everyone but for the Holy Father and his angel. This is why the given solution seems most likely.

~~To "Four Living Creatures And The Seals" footnote #4 changed:
4. One difference is that the apparition of chapter one is "in the midst" of the seven golden candlesticks, representing the seven churches (Apoc. 1:13) and the seven lamps, not candlesticks, are "before the throne" (Apoc. 4:5).
[Edit:] The lamps are to the throne (the Father) what the candlesticks are to the apparition of chapter one (St. Joseph) and the Holy Spirit is with both; and the seven spirits, the lamps, are "the seven angels who stand before the throne of God, and by extension, all angels" (The Apocalypse Of St. John, p.60); and the seven stars in his hand, which "are the angels of the seven churches" (Apoc. 1:16,20), are not of the same order as those before the throne, though they must be similar in nature.

"Him, That Sitteth On The Throne" (Chapter 4)
4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting.
K~ And all at once I was in a trance, and saw where a throne stood in heaven, and one sat there enthroned.
Haydock's commentary states that the one sitting is "representing God the Father".[18]
4:3 And he that sat, was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
K~ He who sat there bore the semblance of a jewel, jasper or sardius, and there was a rainbow about the throne, like a vision of emerald.
From Haydock: "And he....was to the sight like the jasper,[Similis erat aspectui jaspidis, omoios orasei iaspidi] or had the appearance of jaspers, as to the colours with which he appeared, &c. (Witham)".
The jasper stone is "most commonly red, but may be yellow, brown, green or (rarely) blue"; the sardine stone is "reddish brown" and is a type of carnelian (Wikipedia). An 'emerald-tinted rainbow' probably makes reference to creation, as green is representative of growth, but "like a vision of emerald" speaks to its true Divine origin. As this was also a rainbow this is like many different shades or kinds of creation.
Fr. Kramer likens the jasper stone to God's holiness and the sardine to His justice. As they are given together, they are blended, which symbolizes the oneness of God's holiness and justice. As for the rainbow, he calls it a "symbol of mercy. It is not a rainbow proper for it is emerald coloured". Also: "God appears infinitely just and holy in all that He decrees or permits to befall His Church. His perfections reflect mercy under the guise of an emerald-colored halo. Emerald is the symbol of faith which reflects the hope of salvation" (The Book of Destiny, p.60).
4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats; and upon the seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads were crowns of gold.
K~ Round it were twenty-four seats, and on these sat twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
From Haydock: "These four and twenty elders sitting round the throne of God, represent the judgment which the Almighty was about to pass upon the enemies of his Church. Thus in Daniel, when he was about to pronounce sentence against Antiochus Epiphanes, "thrones were placed, and the ancient of days sat,...the judgment sat, and the books were opened." (Daniel vii. 9, 10.) They represent kings and priests who attend on the Sovereign Judge. It appears as if God intended to designate by the number the ancient patriarchs and the twelve apostles, who judge with the Lord, and condemn the injustice of their persecutors (Calmet)".
4:5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there were seven lamps burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
K~ Lightnings came out from the throne, and mutterings, and thunders, and before it burned seven lamps, which are the seven spirits of God;
From Haydock: "The lightnings, loud voices, and thunders, which come from the throne of God, announce alarms and severe hardships, such as persecutions, heresies, calamities, &c. by which he tries the fidelity of his servants on earth. And the seven spirits of God, who appear under the form of burning lamps, are seven Angels, as before mention, (Chap. i. 4.) standing ready to execute the divine commands (Walmesley)".

Summary / Context
The Fatima-Apocalypse (as it may be called, since Fatima leads into the Apocalypse) might have begun as early as La Salette, 1846, when the secret given to Melanie and Maximin was passed along to Pope Pius XI in 1851, of which he was later said to have said: "It is good that we were forewarned, etc".[19] Given the state of Europe at the time, filled with revolutions, there might have become another situation like that of Pius VII, who was a prisoner of Bonaparte from 1809 to 1814; or Pius VI, taken prisoner by Revolutionary troops from France. But it is not known what possible situation Pius IX was referring to.
Or perhaps it might have begun in 1903, when one Cardinal Rampolla, a freemason, happened to be elected; but his election was vetoed by Emperor Franz Josef of Austria-Hungary (legal heir to the Holy Roman Empire), after which St. Pius X abrogated that ancient privilege.
It properly began when Lucia dos Santos first saw an apparition, that of the angel in 1915, after which she and her two cousins subsequently saw the angel in 1916, preparatory to Our Lady's visitations at Fatima in 1917. Catholic prophecy before then was on a 'timeline' which would have culminated in the events as related in Apocalypse chapter eleven. With Fatima, for the first time both 'timelines' were possible: Either chapter eleven or chapter 13, but not both.[20]
Chapter four opens with St. John being invited to 'come up hither' and see. It begins with a vision of a throne set in heaven with one enthroned who is representative of the Father. From thence 'proceeded lightnings, and voices, and thunders' among which might be decrees concerning the beginning of the "last times of the world".[21] Then when the four living creatures, representing the Blessed Virgin in the four Marian dogmas, gave glory to to him that sat on the throne, the 'four and twenty ancients' followed suit.[22] It was then that it was decreed that the mystery of Fatima begins. This is why the four living creatures are the focus of chapter four. St. Joseph brings St. John to see the vision of the Father in heaven when He decrees that Fatima should begin.
Chapter five concerns the book of life of the Lamb. It is of the Lamb "slain from the beginning of the world" (Apoc. 13:8) and written "from the foundation of the world" (Apoc. 17:8) and is to be unsealed beginning from a certain time.[23] The reason it could not be unsealed before is similar to why no one could enter heaven before Christ's victory on the cross. The book and its seals are related to the Church's own passion, which she must undergo as her Lord did. Again, Fatima is the beginning of this trial.[24]
When the seals were being opened in chapter six, Our Lady's Fatima prophecy was already being fulfilled. Before Sr. Lucia had revealed it to Pope Pius XII in 1941, the prophesied "second worse war" was already under way. From the time the secret was first written until the close of the fateful Vatican council '2' they were opened every eighth year. The seals' opening does not make for a closer parallel, because they are concerned with the book of life; that is their focus. Then after the four living creatures announced the first four horsemen, they fell silent, even as the Church has appeared to be silent especially since 1965; until the time came for the last three seals to be opened, during which the elect shall be found. As we are currently after the fifth and before the sixth (June 2025) nothing more can be added with anything approaching certainty.

22. Fr. Berry describes the vision of chapter four as symbolic of the constitution of the Church (The Apocalypse Of St. John, p.58): "This vision of adoration is a symbol of the worship offered to God in His Church on earth. The throne of God is the altar upon which the Lamb is mystically slain in the holy sacrifice of the Mass. Before Him all the faithful bow down in adoration and sing their canticles of praise. In ancient times the bishop had his throne behind the altar, and round about it on either side sat the priests and other clergy. During solemn Mass lighted lamps stood around the altar and ministers carried vessels of burning incense. Beneath the altar reposed the relies of martyrs who had suffered for their faith".
Fr. Kramer: "God's holiness manifests itself in a twofold guidance of the Church: The first is through the endowments conferred upon His Church bodied forth in the lightnings, voices and thunders, which are the prerogatives enabling her to spread the Gospel; the second is through the divine assistance or activity of the Holy Spirit in the Church symbolized by the seven lamps before the throne, which denote the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit guiding and helping her in the spread of the Gospel. The lightnings are the charismata, the power of miracles and the powers of the ministerial office, which is a de condigno right of the Church, because she is in the supernatural order and needs supernatural means to fulfill her mission...The voices proceeding from the throne are the natural gift of eloquence in the Church to preach the revealed truth and are expressive of all external activity of the pastoral office, all of which has a sacred character and divine authority... The thunders are the voice of supreme authority in the Church issuing decrees, dogmas, laws, condemning idolatry and heresy and expressing anathemas and warnings against all who resist the truth and persist in sin...The lighted lamps are not in this vision the seven churches. They symbolize the external mission and activity of the Holy Spirit enlightening, guiding and sanctifying the Church, comforting her in the trials endured and protecting her against danger" (The Book Of Destiny, p.62).
Chapter four (and chapter five) may be either of these, or even both; but those visions in particular concern when the end-times were decreed to begin, fated from the beginning of the history of the Church. Fatima and the establishment of communism both beginning in 1917 parallel this. The seals began to be unsealed in 1941, when Sr. Lucia wrote down the secret of Fatima for the first time, though not yet the third part.
23. This book is not the words Daniel was told to seal up: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be manifold" (Daniel 12:4); "And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall be after these things? And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time" (Daniel 12:8-9). That would be the Apocalypse itself, which speaks of these things, which was 'sealed up' until St. John wrote them down. Rather, it is the book spoken of in verse one: "...and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book".
The other book, of Daniel, which speaks of the events of "the time appointed" is the one spoken of in Apocalypse chapter ten: "And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the earth"; or "He carried in his hand an open book. Setting his right foot on the sea, and his left on the dry land, etc" (Apoc. 10:2 and Knox). See "Two Timelines Of Apocalypse" for how this relates to Apocalypse itself.
Some see the Apocalypse as a history of the Church from the beginning to the end-times, and while this may be true enough on one interpretation, the fact remains that it is not so useful as to help the remnant of the Church of that time, who must know their own history in order to be that remnant of the Church. The Gospel accounts need no addition to tell us what is needed to know about the end-times, unless of course the Apocalypse is not speaking of the same time - there is the 'thousand years' of chapter twenty when the dragon is bound before the real, actual end of the world. This is why the antichrist is not mentioned in the Gospel accounts of Matt. 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21; he is long gone by that time, and is mentioned with the false prophet in Apoc. 20:9-10 before the actual end as already being in hell.
24. Lest the charge be made as to 'paying too much attention to private revelation' or even 'adding to Apocalypse', as St. John warns against ("If any man shall add to these things. God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book" [Apoc. 22:18-19]), it should be pointed out, how would one know that St. John's visions was not, in part, the Virgin's prophecy to be given in the future being fulfilled ? As will be seen in "Two Timelines Of Apocalypse", the Apocalypse has two possible ends as does Fatima prophecy. Our Lady did not have to mention the Apocalypse; in fact it appears She deliberately avoided doing so precisely that the charge related to Apoc. 22:18-19 be not laid upon Her message.
As to certain roles which have been assigned to the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph in Apocalypse according to available information, They must have known something of this while yet on earth, since they had thirty years with Our Lord before He began His mission. Certainly they had time to discuss it, as a family might.

~~Alteration to fifth seal after the Knox verses on home and "Last Three Seals In Our Time":
In this translation, it is more clear in
verse eleven that future martyrs were being selected, presumably due to
the event by which this seal is opened, when they have shown their
preference for the truth. Whereas in the older translation it may
possibly be interpreted as a martyrdom happening even then, as
the number is being filled up.[9] The martyrs referred to may
specifically be those of Roman times, when they were persecuted by a
major power steeped in paganism, and which looks to be returning today
under the antipapacy when it is given all power in chapter thirteen.
To add to the future 'mark of the beast' being pre-figured by the conjob19 of which is the reason for the opening of the fifth seal: Even as all were pressured to take the fake medicine at the time, saying that everyone must take it in order to be effective, or it will fail, something similar will happen with the mark of the beast in the context of the false prophecy which will be fulfilled, Garabandal: All must follow Rome, and give honour and devotion to the antipope, or take the mark, or honour his image, lest "the Punishment" of Garabandal come to pass because not enough people took the mark, or gave honour to Rome, or to the image to be set up (which will likely be an AI representation of perhaps John Paul 2 which all can carry on theiir devices). But it is a false promise: "the Punishment" cannot be avoided in any case because it is a false hope given by the devil to lead those who do not love the truth to Rome of the antichrist.
The thing is, one does not have to do all three to be compromised. All it takes is one (perhaps in this way the Conjob which came previously will not be so obvious a prefigurement). But it seems that whosoever takes one will take all three: "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his character in his forehead, or in his hand; He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, etc" (Apoc. 14: 9-10).~~

The vision properly begins with the first two parts spoken of Sr. Lucia
which were omitted by the Vatican's June 2000 publication. These events
follow the period of "two and forty months" of Apocalypse chapter
thirteen, in which all the elect were taken prisoner. In the first part,
the 144,000 are seen singing 'a new canticle' to which no one else knew
the words, probably because it comes from the Holy Father. They are
accompanied by sound from Heaven, as it were an orchestra. That ends the
first part. Afterwards, three angels come with final warnings from
Heaven: One carrying the dogmas of the Faith and urging the world to
fear the Lord and the hour of his judgement, the second declaring that
"the great Babylon is fallen, is fallen", and the third with a final
warning against the beast, his image, and the 'mark'. This ends the
second part. In the third part, which was published, Sr. Lucia is given
to see Our Lady with the first of the three angels, who had the sword
with fire, and two other angels beside the wooden cross as the martyrs
reach their destination. These are probably the other two angels
mentioned earlier. She did not see St. Joseph, the one with the crown in
this vision, but St. John did not see Our Lady in his. That ends the
third part. In the last, which Sr. Lucia was not given to see, the wrath
which is merited by the world by their vengeance against the elect and
continuing unrepentance are gathered up.

***
On days: There are precisely 2,600 days inclusive from Siri's
suppressed election on Oct. 26, 1958 until the close of Vatican '2' on
Dec. 8, 1965, taking into account leap years. This is 45 days over
precisely seven years. In Daniel 12:11-12, the time of the 'abomination
unto desolation' is given as 1,290 days; but then: "Blessed is he that
waiteth, and so cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days".
The meaning of this is not known.
The
time from Siri's election until the day before Roncalli's false version
of the mass (Oct. 26, 1958 - July 24, 1962) is 1,367 days inclusive.
This is considerably greater than 1,260 days. But the number is meant to
indicate a time period of at least 3.5 years (two and forty
months = 30 * 42 = 1,260). The years are thus truncated from 365 to 360,
as each month is assumed to be 30 days. It would seem that the years
and months are also truncated when indicating the general time period of
the first half of chapter twelve. Thus, all of 1959, 1960, 1961 and the
first six months of 1962 (not July) is "1,260 days" without part years
or months.

**Siri could not have fallen from the papacy due to what is called by
some cowardice, and by others acts of unfaithfulness by recognizing a
false pope over and above himself. There was no papacy on earth any
longer from which to fall, or his own was 'prorogued'. Another way is to
view it like this: "What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder".
God can separate things: the papacy from the pope, or the seat of the
papacy from the world itself, which would amount to the same thing. But
this is not a punishment: As St. Paul told us, "he who checks (the
conspiracy of revolt) now will be able to check it, until he is removed
from the enemy’s path". This was done by God is to prevent the enemy
from separating them, as Christ's promise to St. Peter indicates. This
accounts for the relevant verses both of Apocalypse and Thessalonians.

Addendum - Last Three Seals In Our Time
(Mar. 24/25) Regarding the effect the 'Warning' ("illumination of conscience") has on the world as opposed to
the elect: Those who are aligned with the beast/antipope may well
believe that, if the elect are not affected, it is because they are
allied with the devil. Whereas the truth is, they are not affected
because they say the Rosary. But individuals will choose what they want
to believe, according to their predilection for the truth, or not.
