When putting this schedule together, I had no idea of how prophecy (and afterlife theory) is impacted by the #8, but eight comes up a lot in this reading schedule, at least lately. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍♀️There are no coincidences? Also of note - to me anyway - is the number thirteen.

     Rev.18:1 - After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority. And the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 He called out in a mighty voice, “Fallen! ..Fallen! Is Babylon the Great! For she has become a dwelling place for demons! ..A haunt for every unclean spirit! ..A haunt for every unclean bird! ..A haunt for every unclean and detestable beast! 3 All nations have drank down the wine/intoxication of her waywardness, the kings of earth (are in bed with ‘her’) have committed immorality with her (17:2) and *the merchants* of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.” 4 Then I heard another loud voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people! Lest you take part in her sins! Lest you share in her plagues! 5 For her sins are heaped high as heaven. And God has remembered her iniquities.” (This verse gives me the image of her/it shaking ‘her’ fist at heaven.) 6 “Pay her what she has paid to others! And repay her double for her deeds. Yes mix a double portion for her in the cup she herself mixed. 7 As she glorified herself and lived in (ill gotten? greedy?) luxury, so give her the same measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen! I am no widow. I will never see mourning.’ 8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day! Death, mourning, famine. And she will be burned with fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.” (She - the false way, her forehead/psyche being all confusion.. responsible for “all” slain upon Earth. The false way is judged by its own crash and fall. Surely far more logical than thinking judgment is like a Thor throwing lightning bolts? That has never sounded logical to me. But it could happen that way. That enough becomes enough! As God’s full foreknowledge can also be considered. But I think God is letting things run their course to the last, bitter(?) drop, so that all persons that can be born, will be born. Not that he hAs to do it that way, but that he wants to.. what with having his perfect foreknowledge of all things, knows where every thing leads and goes. So knows all persons that can be born. I think his having created a cause and effect/consequences universe is what he calls ‘his wrath’. Remember, his communication has to reach all, from the ‘best’ peacemaker to the cruelest, most merciless despot or killer - great and small. And I think God loves a good riddle! Writing in codes and mysteries, to hide things in plain sight. And surely God is Life, itself, the breath, spirit and force of, and so, as life he lives through all that ever occurs.๐Ÿ˜ณ Why would he put himself through all that? I don’t think it’s so much “what he has created” as what it is he iS creating. Laleo signing off.✌๐Ÿผ Laleo is a greek word meaning talkative.)
