Revelation 16:17-21

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased      

17 - The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and then a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

     18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was upon the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drink fully the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. {Full cup of consequences.} 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven. And they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so great. {The last of “seven thunders”(?) with flashes of lightning, rumblings, and great hail. The higher and faster moisture rises, the greater the hail. Making the earth shake to and fro, Is.24:20.}

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. 🤷🏼‍♀️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.😳 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.✌🏼 Laleo is a greek word meaning talkative.)

Is The Book Of Revelation Merely Metaphor?

The Book of Revelation of the Bible is very accurately true! When I wanted to know more about it, I prayed and it seemed to come back to me "what are the strongest forces at work upon mankind today?" Emphasis on "today".
- There's at least two locks in the Book.. the first (after the announcement, etc) is in chapter six, it's important to realize the seven seals are described here as a blend of what they are when first "opened" and also what they are in their full blown maturity at the 'end'. Thus, things which happen very late upon the planet, are described here so very early in the narrative. These seven seals are the dominant elements at work in the 'latter' age of mankind, the years of our Lord A.D.
- The second lock is to realize that chapters 12,13, and most of 14 are inserts like the creation account of Genesis two is an insert to the one of Genesis one, providing more detail, like a magazine or history book will have inserts to elaborate.
- Chapter 13 is TWO beasts - 1-10 and 11-18, the 1st being a big or world beast/body and the 2nd being a 'man' or closer yet a two horned office, the one which brought/opened new fire (bringing it down upon men) #13:13. This is also the 6th seal of chapter 6. It seems obvious the 'little' beast will step into the head seat of the world beast/governing. Many think these two beasts are the same, and that they are also the false prophet/teacher/teaching. But the false prophet began as a man, but also developed the capability of rev 13:13, which the two horned office was the 1st to "open" - note at the end of this seal, seal 6, there is a pause.. until it manifests again.. "angels holding back the wind".. The false prophet prepared the way and has and is thoroughly changing western civilization.
- The other main character is $ity BabbleOn (of today not yesteryear) of chapters 17 and 18. She has seduced and enchanted all the world (seven continents/hills). The Greek word for her, translated "harlot" is "pornos" and "to sell". Capitalism embraced "pornos" and therefor in one hour it will crash. "Fallen fallen" is Babylon the Great who holds a golden cup of her side effects, the murders, perversion, abortions, slave trade, dissolution of the family, etc.. The merchants made wealthy by her wares will weep when they see her burning "in one day". The ten kings in bed with her/10horns/10toes of the final hour will devour and burn her, yes, socialism will finally devour capitalism, and they/he will institute the 666 apparatus, also technology provided by the false prophet, that white smocked wizard.
- Babble On's forehead/psyche is Mystery Babble, every untruth and lie, and Mystery Babble is responsible for all blood spilled upon Earth, past, present, future "since Cain killed Abel".
