Review Comments: Not Recommended. At 20:53 Kenneth Cox says that he is a historicist when it comes to interpreting Bible prophecy. At 37:31 However, Kenneth Cox begins to apply the remaining trumpets to future events that will take place before the Second Advent. Here is an additional review by Shelly Quinn: I have reviewed the “Revelation of Jesus Christ”, episode 12 and think I know why administration had it pulled after it first aired. I didn’t have the time code on the copy I got, so will just give you approximates, along with Scripture positions which will make it easy to locate. There are primarily two problematic areas: First, approximately half way through when Pastor Cox is discussing the 2nd Trumpet (Rev 8:8), his wording and illustration indicate it is something yet to happen. He specifically states, “…don’t particularly believe this is the 2nd trumpet” but merely wants to show people how quickly it could happen, then he shows pictures of a deep-sea oil derrick (which he compares to the spiritual symbol of the “mountain”) , compares it to the language of the test, providing an illustration showing one quart of motor oil can ruin 250,000 gallons of ocean water, and says that an oil spill could kill one third of the third of the sea. This illustration implies the 2nd trumpet is yet to be blown, taking it out of historical order. Then Pastor Cox states this is referring to “…spiritual Babylon and what will happen…it is to be destroyed.” This would not be enough to pull the program, but it is certainly confusing. The second, and more problematic, issue is what he says to conclude his presentation of the 6th trumpet (close to the end, Rev. 9:13-21). He concludes that when the 6th trumpet is sounded, “…after that, it’s over. This is God’s last appeal.” Then he moves directly into the 7th trumpet of Revelation 11:15-19 and in the final analysis concludes, “So, there are judgments that take place at the end of time.” The problem here is that, whether he intends to or not, it makes the 6th trumpet seem to be in the future and totally ignores the interlude between the 6th and 7th trumpets, in which Adventists have historically placed ourselves. Following the 6th trumpet of Rev. 9:13-21, Scripture presents Revelation 10:1-11:14.as an interlude of what happens before the blowing of the 7th trumpet. This interlude describes the final preparation and work of the church as we approach the end of time (and blowing of the 7th trumpet). It includes the opening of the little scroll, the measuring of the temple, the two witnesses who prophesy for 1260 days, etc. From the historicist viewpoint, we would almost definitely see the 6th trumpet as past, not future, and certainly the blowing of that trumpet does not mean that it’s all over. God is using his church to reach people between the blowing of the 6th and 7th trumpets. Although Pastor Cox clearly states at the beginning of this presentation that he takes the historicist view, he seems to indicate that the 6th trumpet is future and that is not according to our historicist viewpoint.
