BOOK OF REVELATION

1 - Then one of the seven angels who had the seven (concurrent?) bowls came and said to me (disciple/apostle John) “Come, I’ll show you the {meanwhile} judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of earth have committed fornication.” {I.e, powers and politicians are in bed with her.} “And those upon Earth have become drunk with the wine of her indecencies.”

     3 And the angel carried me away in the Spirit to a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of slanderous insults/blasphemes, and it had seven heads and ten horns. {A many headed geopolitical beast, Dan.7:7,19, a key - the iron and bronze of Dan-2.} 4 The woman {riding the beast} was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup (to drink) full of abominations and impurities. {‘Her’ fruits and side effects.}

     5 And on her forehead was written a name, “Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Prostitution [porné - probably from pernémi - to export for sale] and of all Earth's Abominations [bdélygma - from bdelýssō, derived from bdēō, to reek {stink to high heaven ..as the saying goes} abhorrent, detestable]”. {$ity Babylon with it’s bright but garish streets and dark alleys, with a forehead/psyche/mind of ‘mystery babble’ - all confusion. Beast & $ity, Socialism & Capitalism both go extreme, free trade gone nutz and indecent. Oligarchy, but which ends up going all armageddon at each other(?) in the valley when assembled against Israel? Just a recurring question. Yet verses 12 and 16 for sure, which says “the ten horns ..are ten kings who for one hour receive authority ..along with the (many headed geopolitical) beast” of the hour “they will hate her, bring her to ruin, and consume/deplete her, and raze her with fire..” She rides the huge beast, but what will happen when the huge beast rides her?}

     6 And I saw the woman {empire} drunk with the blood of saints, and of martyrs, and of Jesus.” And when I saw her I wondered greatly.

     7 But the angel said, “Why do you wonder? I’ll tell you the mystery of the woman (the $ity) and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.” {She rode the beasts, soon one, to all seven hills/continents.}

     8 “The beast you saw was, then is not, and is destined to rise from the abyss” {of potential that imperfect is?} “and go to its destruction.” {History repeats, first was the Roman Empire later ‘Holy’ Roman Empire; then a modern last days “was, wasn’t ..then was again” after the 13:13 event, an event carried out by an oFFice.}

     “And those upon earth whose names are not {yet} written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not, and then is.

    9 This all calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated. {Seven hills/continents.} 10 They are also seven kings {world empires?} five have fallen, one is (Rome and all Roman based? During which there is “wars to the end” Dan.9:26) the other (global) has not yet come and when he/it does come, it must remain only a little while.” {Alas, though lauded as peace, peace! will only last seven years? And be broken in the middle against Israel (Luke 19:41,44?) Then - Dan.12:11 - “1,290 days later - that is 3.5 hebrew calendar years plus 30 days later - will be set up the (final) abomination which causes desolation” ..This time upon the human temple meant for God’s Spirit/Presence? 1Corinthians 3:16 - “know you not, you are a temple of God?” And then, next verse, Dan.12:12 - “blessed is the one/those who wait, and come to, the days, 1,335” which is 45 days later? The last “ten days” escalating to most critical-Rev.2:10? “until the end that is decreed is poured out..” Dan.9:27.}

Revelation 19 17-21

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased      

17 - Then I (John) saw an angel, radiant, as though standing in the sun. And with a loud voice he called to the birds of midheaven (to the high flying, predator birds, calling them to armageddon battle; the calling to the birds is metaphor for the literal armageddon battle about to be portrayed) saying, “Come, gather for the great supper of God!” {He actually takes responsibility! Having “subjected and consigned all to disobedience” Romans 11:32. Supersized the option to stray in Eden so “all of heaven and of earth” take this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast, all together at once.} 18 “Come to eat the flesh of kings, of captains, of mighty men, of horses and their riders, and of all, both free and slave, both small and great.” {The final war is totally mankind done. It is the last war between human empires, Isaiah 24:20, Rev.10:4, ten, four, end of the Act, over and out. “All the world is a stage” - Shakespeare.}

     19 And then I saw the beast and the kings of earth, with their armies, gathered to make war against he who was sitting on the (white) horse and against his army of heaven (the two third faithful angels). {Aka against all knowledge of the one true God. Against national Israel and the grafted in, spiritual Israel, which by then includes many of ethnic Israel.} 20 And the {many headed, geopolitical} beast was taken, and with it the {of the world} false prophet who in its presence had done the signs [sémeion - miracles, signs, marks, tokens] {modern wonders and “miracles to mislead”} by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and who worshiped/were in allegiance to its image. [Mark is from the word - charagma- which is a “mark, stamp, sign, engraving, from charassō - meaning to engrave or stamp, the term charagma means a mark or stamp often used to denote ownership or authenticity]. These two were thrown alive {active, as they are not individuals} into the lake of fire {armageddon battle, with global chain reaction} that burns with sulfur {Jude 1:7!} {Both that ‘miracle’ and the “strong delusion” that “seats man/anthropos in the temple as God”/highest power, is from the “false prophet” (Rev.12:15?)

     21 And the rest were slain by the sWord {truth, the iron rod/unbreakable measure} that came from the mouth of he who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged. {Symbolic imagery, aka, build a house on Truth, it endures. Build using unTruth (or guile) and like being built on sand, there’s crashing and fiery apocalypse. It’s what dog eat dog/every self first, does. There are two things that can simply never (ever) work, (1) straying from God who iS Life - logic, yes? To stray from Life, not good. And he “is perfect, so (2) imperfection, logically, is the opposite of Life. And history has - already - proven that (straying and) imperfect is an “abyss” of potential. And logically is entropy, the “worm that doesn’t quit” and the “fire”/slow burn/slow fade/slow gehenna “that cannot be put out” - entropy does not reverse. But you think we humans are inherently immortal? Death is nothing more than another form of life and living? Well that idea/myth was needed for the - extremely ancient - crowd controlling spiritual propaganda myth of afterlife torment.. We will “put on immortality” at one of TWO vivifications - because - we will “put on perfection/incorruptibility”. Clue, the second vivification is not simultaneous with its partner “resurrection”.}
