COPY OF REVELATIONS VERSES PART 4 OF 5
Chapter 14 through 18
Chapter 14:
1. And I looked,
and, lo, a Lamb
stood on the mount Sion,
and with him
an hundred
forty
and four
thousand,
having his Father’s
name
written
in their foreheads.
John noticed Jesus standing on Mount Zion, with the 144,000, all of them with God’s Spirit seal in their heads. These were not flying through the air, or on a cloud, they were on solid ground. God uses a lot of symbology in his writings. This is described as a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, however, since Jesus is described as the Lamb, I assume that this means that John saw Jesus there, in the form of a Lamb.
2. And I heard
a voice from heaven,
as the voice
of many waters,
and as the voice
of a great thunder:
and I heard the voice
of harpers
harping
with their harps:
3. And they sung
as it were
a new song
before the throne,
and before
the four beasts,
and the elders:
and no man
2
could learn
that song
but the
hundred
and forty
and four
thousand,
which were redeemed
from the earth,
4. These are they
which were not defiled
with women;
for they
are virgins.
These are they
which follow
the Lamb
whithersoever he goeth.
These were redeemed
from among men,
being the firstfruits
of God
and to the Lamb.
Again a great amount of symbology, a great deal of which does not ring a bell with me. I feel that verse four is where the Catholics get their idea about their Popes, Priests and Nuns. God gathered to himself 144,000 undefiled, but I would bet that it did not come from any of that group, because their faith is a mockery of God, a persecution of Christians, and not a follower of his commandments. A great portion of those who claim Priesthood, and to be Popes are perverts of the flesh in the worst way.
5. And in their mouth
was found
no guile:
for they are without
fault
before the throne
of God.
It is hard to understand that God found these individuals on earth,
3
because we all as one in humanity have all sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Rom 3:23). None here on earth born as humans, not
as Jesus, but as humans are without fault in their lives. Therefore, this group that is gathered about the Lamb could not have been human. Of course, when we are forgiven our sins, we are all without fault before God, so possibly they could be human, Who knows? But they certainly could not come from the Catholic faith with all it’s blasphemy of God’s holy commands.
6. And I saw another angel
fly
in the midst
of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel
to preach
unto them
that dwell
on the earth,
and to every nation,
and kindred,
and tongue,
and people,
7. Saying with a loud voice,
Fear God,
and give glory
to him:
for the hour
of his judgment
is come:
and worship him
that made heaven,
and earth,
and the sea,
and the fountains
of waters.
This I think is where the churches of the world falter in some of their thinking. They are sending Evangelists into all parts of the world, placing their lives in danger from the savages, to preach the word. Preaching to savages who understand nothing about God in the real sense, just for the moment sensationalism as the preacher speaks. Of
4
course again, I could be dead wrong on this one, and probably am. It seems that I read some place that the command was given to go into all the world and preach the word. Who but God knows who in all
those thousands, possibly one or two do actually see the Light of the Son. That is far more than I am doing, so, who am I to criticize this action? Some how I feel it is wrong to endanger the lives of those who are sealed with the Word of God. There again, I am wrong, because the apostles of Jesus placed themselves in danger, and even gave their lives for the cause. You see, I am not perfect in my thinking, I too, make mistakes in judgment. Just ask my wife, she knows all my faults.
8. And there followed
another angel,
saying,
Babylon
is fallen,
is fallen,
that great city,
because she made all
nations
drink
of the wine
of the wrath
of her fornication.
This action follows closely chapters 17 and 18 of Revelations, which describe this city, what it is, and who has charge over it, and it’s destruction, and the impact on merchants of the world. Would say more on this, but will save it till I come to those chapters. I do not like to repeat very much what I have already said.
9. And the third angel
followed them,
saying
with a loud voice,
if any man
worship
the beast
and his image,
and receive
his mark
in his forehead,
5
or in his hand,
10. The same
shall drink
of the wine
of the wrath
of God,
which is poured out
without mixture
into the cup
of his indignation;
and he shall be
tormented
with fire
and brimstone
in the presence
of the holy angels
and in the presence
of the Lamb:
This indicates loud and clear to me, that one should under no circumstances accept this mark that I have described before, from the beast. Of course I am speaking about the small as a grain of rice device under the skin with one’s P.I.N., on it, that can be injected by a hypodermic needle, which can be read by a scanner. Nothing should be etched into one’s flesh, even a seemingly harmless tattoo. One should be extremely cautious about the marking of one’s flesh in any manner. We can never know what can be read by an innocent looking scanner. Not just a scanner held by hand, but also a scanner in the satellites that lay in the high heavens above our heads.
Great torment, anguish, and final eternal damnation are determined on those who receive this mark. Regardless of all the good things it can accomplish, it is to be avoided at all costs, even to that of being executed. All the good things in this life, nor life it’s self is worth losing one’s eternal soul over. This includes, goods, family and friends. A very hard saying, but true none the less.
11. And the smoke
of their torment
ascendeth up
for ever
6
and ever:
and they have no rest
day
nor night,
who worship
the beast
and his image,
and whosoever receiveth
the mark
of his name.
It could not be stated any more clearly than this, and this is not symbology, this is plain language. God wants his people to understand the importance of this to the fullest degree. The beast is evil, and his image is also evil, and if possible, the mark is even more evil. When he finally reveals himself for what he is, the true Christian will know it. Whatever comes from the beast is to be avoided, even the good, because there is evil lurking behind it, waiting to trap the innocent.
12. Here is the patience
of the saints:
here are they
that keep the commandments
of God,
and the faith
of Jesus.
13. And I heard a voice
from heaven
saying unto me,
Write,
Blessed are the dead
which die
in the Lord
from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit
that they may rest
from their labours;
and their works
do follow them.
This is the consolation that God gives to all of those of us, who follow
7
the faith till the end. If we do good, or bad, our works follow us. In the giant databank of God’s computer, our lives are recorded, and at the end of days, we will be recalled, along with all the things our lives consisted of.
14. And I looked,
and behold a white
cloud,
and upon the cloud
one sat
like unto the Son
of man,
having on his head
a golden crown,
and in his hand
a sharp sickle.
John would have made a good lawyer, he always speaks more or less in the third person. He never identifies Jesus as being Jesus, he always refers to him as a Lamb, or one like the Son of Man, etc. I suppose this goes along with the symbology. Nothing in the clear is stated very often. It would appear as if it is meant for us to be always puzzled by what is said, never really knowing the true meaning. A lot of the scriptures of the bible are written in this manner. It can be down right frustrating at times, trying to dig out a meaning, and when one is reached, never being sure whether it is the right one or not. It is as if the scriptures are coded, and not everybody is meant to break this code.
Of course we can more or less assume that verse 14 refers to the return of Jesus, but, are we sure of this? Since the one that has the sickle in his hand, and a crown of gold on his head is the one on the cloud, then we have to assume it.
15. And another angel
came out of the temple,
crying with a loud voice
to him
that sat on the cloud,
Thrust in thy sickle,
and reap:
for the time
8
is come
for thee to reap;
for the harvest
of the earth
is ripe.
This is one of those bits of scripture where the churches of today get
their misconceptions concerning the Rapture. This truly is that time when the saints will be gathered, but they are gathered from the Tribulation, out of it, not before or after, but during. There will be none left on earth to face the Wrath of God. God will not pour out the wine of his wrath on his own, but on all who refuse him.
16. And he that sat on the cloud
thrust in his sickle
on the earth;
and the earth
was reaped.
This verse is symbolic of the return of Jesus which in reality is explained in Chapter 24 of Matthew, verses 29-31.
In reality, when Jesus returns, the earth will weep with sorrow, not gladness as the churches all mistakenly preach. All the earth will mourn when he returns. (Mat 24:30) This states that all the tribes of the earth shall mourn. To mourn is not to be showing happiness, it is sadness and sorrow. He will be hated, and the armies of the earth will try to destroy him.
17. And another angel
came out of the temple
which is in heaven,
he also
having a sharp sickle.
18. And another angel
came out
from the altar,
which had power
over fire;
and cried with a loud cry
to him that had the sharp sickle,
9
saying,
Thrust in they sharp sickle,
and gather
the clusters
of the vine
of the earth;
for her grapes
are fully ripe.
19. and the angel
thrust in his sickle
into the earth,
and gathered
the vine
of the earth,
and cast it
into the great winepress
of the wrath
of God.
This is that gathering together of all God’s enemies to be used as a footstool, in one place. This is in progress even now, the gathering of his enemies, which are the governments of the earth. They are all being formed into one unit, which will be the foot stool of God when he returns. I feel that this footstool at the present moment is the United Nations headquarters, which is nested in New York City. This will be squashed like a bug under foot, along with modern day Babylon.
A warning shot was fired on 9/11 destroying an icon of this beast, the twin towers of finance, the basic sin of Lucifer.
20. And the winepress
was trodden
without the city,
and blood
came out
of the winepress,
even unto the horse bridles,
by the space of a thousand
and six
furlongs.
That is a lot of blood, by my crude estimations, that will be a river of blood about 1320 yards in length. Many must die in order to raise the
10
level to that height. This is the fate of all who refuse God, and will be
slaughtered during his wrath on earth. All the churches preach Jesus as a gentle, loving, soft, wispy, sort of being. How surprised they will be when they find that no dictator in the earth’s history could hold a light to him in cruelty. He will have no mercy and millions will perish under his hand, and the hands of his saints.
Chapter 15:
1. And I saw another sign
in heaven,
great
and marvellous,
seven angels
havening the seven
last plagues,
for in them
is filled up
the wrath
of God.
Symbolic of what is in store for all who mock and scorn God, refusing to acknowledge Him, and live by his laws. All those faiths which worship false gods, and the natures of the world. That so called, ‘New Age ideology,’ also falls into this category. All the perverts of the earth, the fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, and effeminate, also the thieves, which covers all the political unity, covetous, drunkards, this would naturally include all the drug heads, and extortionists shall find themselves a part of this river of blood. I just imagine that a great many in our present day medical professions will also be a part of this gigantic river of blood.
2. And I saw as it were
a sea
of glass
mingled with fire:
and them that had
gotten victory
over the beast,
and over his image,
and over his mark,
and over his number
of his name,
11
stand
on the sea of glass,
having the harps
of God.
These who stand before God, certainly could not have gotten victory over the beast and his image if they had been ‘Raptured’ prior to his being revealed. They had to be personally exposed to his cruel hands. This is where a great many of the misled churchized of today will fall and perish. They have not been warned nor taught in the churches of what to expect.
They have all been wrongly taught that they will be excused from this ordeal. Prophecy is not taught in the churches, and they are all under the misconception of a soft wonderful Rapture of sorts, which will whisk them all off on a soft cloud someplace, far from any danger. Where they can innocently sing praises to Jesus forever.
In our church, I have never heard a true prophetic sermon, they all are preached with sort of tongue in cheek attitude, because they will not face the Antichrist and his regime. It angers me that they are so vulnerable, not studying their bibles for the truth, but hanging onto what a theoretic religious college taught them.
3. And they sing the song
of Moses
the servant
of God,
and the song
of the Lamb,
saying,
Great
and marvellous
are thy works,
Lord God Almighty;
just
and true
are thy ways,
thou King
of the saints.
4. Who shall not fear thee,
O Lord,
12
and glorify
thy name?
for thou only art holy:
for all nations
shall come
and worship
before thee;
for thy judgments
are made manifest.
5. And after that I looked,
and, behold, the temple
of the tabernacle
of the testimony
in heaven
was opened:
6. And the seven angels
came out of the temple,
having the seven plagues,
clothed in pure
and white linen,
and having their breasts
girded
with golden girdles.
7. And one of the four beasts
gave unto the seven angels
seven golden vials
full of the wrath
of God,
who liveth
for ever and ever.
8. And the temple
was filled
with smoke
from the glory of God,
and from his power;
and no man
was able
to enter
13
into the temple,
till the seven plagues
of the seven angels
were fulfilled.
This was quite a display for John, of course it all was symbolic of something. What was that something? It apparently means that these vials of chemicals possibly, a chemical or biological agent of some sort is to be used on the earth in this last struggle. I just imagine that there is to be a chemical and biological type of war fare on the face of this earth, and this is God’s way of portraying it to John.
These types of weapons are in stock now in various nations that dot the globe. Apparently one, or several of them will be goaded into using them. There are some today who think that this swine flu, and the vaccine for it are a form of biological warfare, to decimate the population of the earth. As a fact, many have already lost their lives due to both the disease, and the vaccine itself.
2. And the first went,
and poured out his vial
upon the earth;
and there fell a noisome
and grievous sore
upon the men
which had the mark
of the beast,
and upon them
which worshipped
his image.
Possibly when the people are injected with the bar coded device, it could be triggered for various things. Of course the device is used to track the person or thing on it’s travels. It is used in many different ways for identification and medical purposes. While being scanned, it may trigger some sort of radioactive activity which then infects the flesh.
3. And the second angel
poured out his vial
upon the sea;
and it became
as the blood
14
of a dead man:
and every living soul
died
in the sea.
This did not state that just a part of the seas of the world would be
contaminated, it just stated the sea, so I assume this means the total coverage of sea water on the earth’s surface. This could be done with the biological and chemical weapons being detonated below, and above the seas, which in a massive warfare, would be done. All the sea life would die. This in turn could cause world types of famines. It would have a domino effect over the populations of the world.
4. And the third angel
poured out his vial
upon the rivers
and fountains
of waters;
and they became
blood.
It appears to me that God is going to finish what man has been doing for centuries, killing the earth. If the fresh waters are so contaminated that they cannot be used for human consumption, then all peoples of the earth, regardless of who, what, or where they are, will die. We must all have fresh water in order to survive.
5. And I heard the angel
of the waters
say,
Thou are righteous,
O Lord,
which art,
and wast,
and shalt be,
because thou hast judged thus.
6. For they have shed
the blood
of saints
and prophets,
and thou hast
given them blood
15
to drink;
for they are worthy.
A man cannot drink pure blood and live. I have no idea what it would do to the body, but it certainly would not be good. It states that this
will be blood, not blood colored water, but blood. How horrible that will be. Of course those who will be exposed to this will be all those who are left on the earth, after the chosen have been safely gathered to Jesus. They the remaining inhabitants of the earth will be accountable for those whom they have slain, and for those slain since Adam.
7. And I heard another
out of the altar
say,
even so, Lord God Almighty,
true
and righteous
are thy judgments.
8. And the fourth angel
poured out his vial
upon the sun
and power
was given him
to scorch men
with fire.
9. And men were scorched
with great heat,
and blasphemed
the name
of God
which hath power
over these plagues:
and they repented not
to give him glory.
It appears that even the sun will be effected in this last battle of man against God, and the resulting sun flares will be felt on earth. These effects on the sun could be the result of nuclear blasts from satellites which now circle high above the earth. War will be waged in space above the earth, and these powers which will be released, will be so enormous that even our sun will feel the effects from it.
16
And of course having hearts of steel, men will still refuse to acknowledge God and his Kingdom. They will curse him instead. Men have had these types of hearts since Adam. They refuse in the face of
reason, to accept what is freely given to them, salvation of the soul. Therefore, they must be treated as savage uncontrollable beasts, which they are. Since they refuse the very Spirit of God, they are no better than the savage beasts of the earth, and pity is not to be showered on them as they suffer.
10. And the fifth angel
poured out his vial
upon the seat
of the beast;
and his kingdom
was full of darkness;
and they gnawed
their tongues for pain.
The sun and moon have effects on the movement of our seas on earth, also on the earth it self. So all of this will cause massive earthquakes
to occur, and as a result, volcanoes the earth over will erupt. The result will be the blotting out of the sun, moon, stars, and the heavens, causing a black type of darkness the likes of which men have not known.
It will be fearful beyond description. The darkness will be so heavy, that it could almost be cut with a knife. I personally hate the dark, I love the bright, brilliant sunshine, it has the effect of cheering me even at the darkest moments of my life.
11. And blasphemed
the God
of heaven
because of their pains
and their sores,
and repented not
of their deeds.
Having the mark of the beast, the men have doomed themselves to an eternal hell, and they know it. There is no hope, they know that they are headed for the fires of hell, so they curse God. On this earth, when one chooses a certain path to follow, then that one must pay the consequences for that decision they made. If one chooses to ignore
17
God and all his warnings, then, he must come to terms with eternity in hell.
12. And the sixth angel
poured out his vial
upon the great river
Euphrates;
and the water
thereof was dried up,
that the way of the kings
of the east
might be prepared.
This confirms that China and Asia will be involved in this last struggle, they have the massive amounts of populations, which are needed to produce the flood of million man armies. It is evident that they will by the most part, be moved by land to their destinations. This will be part of the body of humanity that will fill the rivers of blood described in prior scriptures.
Human life is so very cheap. Not much value is place on a human, when kings war. It has been that way since the beginning of time, humans war, and the kings sit back and watch, untouched or harmed by it. Life to kings has less value than the dirt under their feet.
13. And I saw three unclean spirits
like frogs
come out of the mouth
of the dragon,
and out of the mouth
of the beast,
and out of the mouth
of the false prophet.
14. For they are the spirits
of devils,
working miracles,
which go forth
unto the kings
of the earth
and of the whole world,
to gather them to the battle
of that great day
18
of God Almighty.
We have the rattling of swords now, the winds of war, yet, somehow I do not think this is the war which is spoken of here. I feel that this war spoken of here will be that great battle at the end of the thousand year reign of Christ on earth. Many there are who think this is the age of the end times spoken of here.
However that is not the case, these are the minor skirmishes and battles being raged prior to the coming of Christ to earth, to take his kingdom from the hands of men. What is being done now, is the gathering together of armies to battle Christ when he returns to earth.
That is a total different happening, than that which takes place at the end of the age of Christ’s rule. They are being gathered together as a footstool for Christ to step down on, squashing them in the process. This is a battle between mankind, (Satan) and Jesus, the one at the end of the thousand year reign is that last battle between Satan and God the Father himself.
15. Behold, I come as a thief.
Blessed is he
that watcheth,
and keepeth his garments,
lest he walk naked,
and they see his shame.
He is giving us a warning, to keep our faith pure and clean. We never know when he will come for us individually at the point of death. If we sin, this will be our shame, and it would be as if we were out in the open without our clothing to hide our privates.
16. And he gathered them together
into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon.
17. And the seventh angel
poured out his vial
into the air;
and there came a great voice
out of the temple
of heaven,
19
from the throne,
saying,
it is done.
18. And there were voices
and thunders,
and lightnings;
and there was a great earthquake,
such as was not
since men
were upon
the earth,
so mighty and earthquake,
and so great.
All of this will happen after the thousand year reign of Christ on earth, and when it is handed over to God the Father, and the Great white Throne Judgment is at hand. It seems strange that God would go through all this, but who am I to question God’s motives, actions, and ways. His ways are far above mine.
It would seem logical to do all this now when Christ returns, and get it over with. But God is not in a hurry to complete his plans. He has a schedule, and holds to it with painstaking accuracy. This proves that all the troubles of man are not really over yet. Satan is going to cause more troubles, after a time of peace and tranquility.
19. And the great city
was divided
into three parts,
and the cities
of the nations
fell:
and great Babylon
came in remembrance
before God,
to give unto her
the cup
of the wine
of the fierceness
of his wrath.
20. And every island
20
fled away,
and the mountains
were not found.
Evidently this will be a great earth change, the shifting of the poles, and the shifting of the continents. They will be broken and re shaped. Of course the oceans will react from this earthquake with tsunami tidal waves many hundreds of feet high, which will wash ashore for hundreds of miles, changing all that they flood. This will cause the islands of the ocean to disappear below the surface, never to be seen again. The earth will be reshaped to fit God’s plan. Possibly this will be what he means with at new earth.
21. And there fell
upon men
a great hail
out of heaven,
every stone
about the weight
of a talent:
and men blasphemed
God
because of the plagues
of hail;
for the plague
thereof was exceeding great.
I have researched my two dictionaries, and neither give the weight of a talent, just stating that it was a unit of weight in ancient Rome. Therefore I do not know how much these hail stones weighed, however, they were not cotton balls by any stretch of the imagination.
Combined with all the other plagues, this will not help their situation any at all.
It seems apparent that the people of that age will know God is the one who is causing all their misery, because he is the one they were
cursing. Some people go to their graves without every trying to change their ways. It appears that some have minds made of marble type stone, with hearts to match.
Chapter 17:
1. And there came one of the seven angels
21
which had the seven vials,
and talked with me,
saying to me,
Come hither;
I will shew unto thee
the judgment
of the great whore
that sitteth
upon many waters.
This verse is open for a lot of controversy, and speculation, which I am just as guilty as all the rest of at practicing. I have quite a bit of literature on this that is very convincing to me. I have held several different opinions on the subject, all of which are always open for
change.
I have always thought of this passage of scripture as referring to the Catholic faith, the Vatican, and the Pope in particular. However, I have had several changes of thought on the matter. It is very convincing that this could be referring to New York City. Also, it could be referring to the old city of Baghdad, which is ancient Babylon. Time will tell which of these is the correct location.
2. With whom the kings
of the earth
have committed fornication,
and the inhabitants
of the earth
have been made drunk
with the wine
of her fornication.
I personally feel that what is spoken of here, is oil. For it, wars are being fought. Oil is the blood that runs through the veins of all nations. With out it, they die. We as the inhabitants have been made drunk on it, we consume it without thought. It is the black gold that causes
greed on an untold level, it causes the rape of the earth in search for it. The great leaders of the world have sold our souls to hell in order to obtain this black wealth.
3. So he carried me
away in the spirit
into the wilderness:
22
and I saw
a woman
sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names
of blasphemy
having seven heads
and ten horns.
This scarlet coloured beast is the same one that is mentioned in (Rev 12:3). It is the make up of our forming one world government, which now goes under the title of the United Nations. To this point I have always thought that the whore was the Catholic faith, the Vatican, and the Pope in particular, but I am beginning to have doubts.
This could easily be the United Nations headquartered in New York City. Or it could be Baghdad, which is in Iraq. Some how, I lean toward New York City and the United Nations, rather than Baghdad. More of the vultures, which are drunk on the black wine, are also a part of this one world government.
4. And the woman
was arrayed
in purple and scarlet colour,
and decked with gold
and precious stones
and pearls,
having a golden cup
in her hand
full of abominations
and filthiness
of her fornication:
By watching the Catholic Priests with their fruitless, and useless rituals, on television. It would be easy to assume that they are the ones, because of their lavish colors, and their silly rituals, which mean absolutely nothing. Their faith of the past, has caused the death of many Christians, this is one factor that I took into consideration when
thinking they are the whore spoken of here. There have been many kings since then that have butchered millions. Mankind is indeed very cruel toward humanity.
5. And upon her forehead,
was a name written,
23
MYSTERY
BABYLON
THE GREAT
THE MOTHER
OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.
Mystery Babylon, could this be New York City? The city it’s self is no worse or better than any other city in these United States. Of course I am not able to see the big picture as God sees it. What really has contaminated not only New York City, but the whole nation as well, is the nest of vipers, which is called the United Nations, which has it’s base there.
Of course when one part is poisoned, the complete unit is poisoned as well. Therefore, because they have this pool of rotten corruption in their midst, they all are simply a part of it whether they like it or not. The financial roots to all the nations are apparently based there, which to me is the original sin of Lucifer, the gathering of the world’s wealth.
In the love of wealth, there is zero tolerance with God.
6. And I saw the woman
drunken
with the blood
of the saints,
and with the blood
of the martyrs
of Jesus:
and when I saw her,
I wondered
with great imagination.
These are all symbol images for John, it is shown to him in a way that he could understand. He would not understand the huge cities with their corruptible lust for oil and riches, as they stand today. It was this verse in particular that sort of had me leaning toward Rome, the Vatican and the Pope, as being this modern Babylon. They do have the blood of the Christians on their hands. They slaughtered without mercy great numbers of Christians, and those who had faith in Christ.
Their Crusades in the early century, along with their Inquisitions was carried over several hundreds of years. Even in this last century, the
24
Pope said, or did nothing when Hitler was slaughtering the Jews. Therefore, the Catholic faith from the beginning has been an enemy to God. Down deep in my soul, I still feel that Rome may be the Modern Babylon. Only time will tell for sure.
7. And the angel
said unto me,
Wherefore didst thou marvel?
I will tell thee
the mystery
of the woman,
and of the beast
that carried her,
which hath the seven heads
and ten horns.
8. The beast
that thou sawest
was,
and is not;
and shall
ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into perdition:
and they
that dwell
on the earth
shall wonder
whose names
were not written
in the book of life
from the foundation
of the world,
when they behold
the beast
that was
and is not,
and yet is.
A lot of information is to be found in this verse of scripture. We know the beast, it’s origin can be found in the pits of hell. This means that this present government of the world had it’s beginnings in hell, and to hell it shall return. It is apparent that the book of life was composed before the foundation of the world, and all who belong to God, have
25
their names inscribed in it.
God knew us far before we were ever even born into this world. There are many who were not written into the book of life, and these are the ones who will wonder after, and worship the beast. They were preordained for hell, along with the beast. Those of us who were written into it, will recognize the beast for what it is, and where it will finally end. Therefore, we will not wonder after it, nor worship it. Those who lusts after wealth, power and fame will bow down to it’s demands, and follow close by in order to gain favors from it. The world of politicians fall into this class very easily.
9. And here is the mind
which hath wisdom,
The seven heads
are seven mountains,
on which
the woman
sitteth.
This is a description of the world government. Each of those seven mountains are world governments, on which the whore sits. In other words, she is using them for her gains. The whore must be the hidden government, the super rich elite, who run the governments of the world, a part of the Occult, the worshippers of Lucifer.
At present I am unable to name these seven, but I do know that the United States is the primary one. Canada, Great Britain, and I think China, possibly France and Germany and Japan. Of these I am not sure. Yet, I know that the wealth that this Satanic unit is based on, comes from our tax dollars.
There is a very secretive group of super elite, who have formed themselves into a club of sorts, and have been in being for hundreds of years. This club holds sway over all the governments of the world, because they control all the wealth of the world. They play one nation against the other like a game. They raise one nation, and destroy another. They place those they choose in the ruling positions. It matters not about what the people desire, the ones placed in high places are put there by this club. The game is played according to their rules, regardless of who holds the office.
10. and there are seven kings:
26
five are fallen,
and one is,
and the other
is not yet come;
and when he cometh,
he must continue
a short space.
This is the formation of the one world government, which is, yet it is not fully formed, nor does it yet have the power it is seeking. When Antichrist comes to power, he will be elected to be president of the United Nations, and he will accept his full power at that time. After gaining this position, and is firmly planted, he will then start exerting his miraculous powers. He will then start performing supernatural miracles, convincing those who are destined for hell, that he is the Christ, and this is the beginning of the thousand year reign. However, God has allotted him a very short time
11. And the beast
that was,
and is not,
even he is the eighth,
and is of the seven,
and goeth
into perdition.
This individual which will be the Antichrist will rise up from among the original seven mountains, governments. Which nation he will come from, I do not know. It is possible that he could come out of Russia, or even come from here with in the United States, who knows? I have no idea of which nation he will spring out of, but I do know where he will eventually wind up at.
When he rises up, five nations will fall. This sound like that there will be a world wide confrontation, and from that he will arise. This does not sound good to me. I have no idea of which nations will tumble and fall. However, it would not be a good thing to be around when this comes about. I am able to see war clouds on the horizon now, and this may be that confrontation that I spoke of. It looks like most of the world will be involved in this one.
12. And the ten horns
which thou sawest
27
are ten kings,
which have received
no kingdom
as yet;
but receive power
as kings
on hour
with the beast.
13. These have one mind,
and shall give their power
and strength
unto the beast.
14. This shall make war
with the Lamb;
and the Lamb
shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords,
and King of kings.
and they that are with him
are called,
and chosen,
and faithful.
At present I am unable to recognize these ten kings that have no power, they will come into being after Antichrist takes office. When he does assume his position, he will grant them the same power as leaders of nations, and they will back him on all he does.
When Christ returns in the air, these will be among those that will bring warfare to the skies, trying to destroy our Savior, which of course is impossible, and naturally they will lose out. This action has not come about yet, because I have not seen our Christ in the air and his return to earth.
15. And he saith unto me,
The waters
which thou sawest,
where the whore
sitteth,
28
are peoples,
and multitudes,
and nations,
and tongues.
These waters are the peoples of the world, which the whore has enslaved in order to gain great wealth. All nations have felt the sting of the super elite rich, they own and control all the wealth of the world, and they are what I think is the whore. They have raped and ravaged the world in search of riches, and especially the oil, which is the wine of fornication that the whore holds in her cup. The wine that has made the world drunk, addicted to the point of insanity, the world can not be without this ‘Wine.’ All nations are enslaved by their ruling masters, and they are being robbed of all their wealth with this wine.
16. And the ten horns
which thou sawest
upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore,
and shall make her desolate
and naked,
and shall eat her flesh,
and burn her
with fire.
If this is the case, then these super rich are in for a little surprise, their little club will be destroyed by those whom they have destroyed. They may be in secret from most of the world, but not from those that they have ravaged to destruction.
17. For God
hath put in their hearts
to fulfil his will,
and to agree,
and give their kingdom
unto the beast,
until the words
of God
shall be fulfilled.
18. And the woman
which thou sawest
is that great city,
29
which reigneth
over the kings
of the earth.
Now, here is the verse that kind of throws a kink in my line of thought.
This says very definitely that it is a city, not a club, not a secret society, but a city. There is a secret world ruling government made up of the super rich, however, I suppose they are headquartered in this city, whichever city it may be. I have put forth three possible candidates, Rome Italy, Baghdad Iraq, and New York City America. One of these three holds the honor of being that whore. It is termed as the ’Mystery, Babylon,’ which could possibly mean that this city is a ’Mystery.’ Mystery, something not fully understood, or is understandable, a religious truth comprehensible only by divine revelation. Now, which city best fits that description. Baghdad, is the modern name for that city, however in the olden days it was Babylon. Of course God could be referring to the modern day Babylon, which could be either Rome, or New York City.
It is kind of hard to think of Baghdad as being this Babylon because how are the martyrs of Christ tied to Baghdad, is there the blood of saints in the streets of Baghdad. This could hold true for New York City. I could see it for Rome however, because that is the city connected to the Vatican. The Catholic church in the early century created crusades and inquisitions, which murdered untold thousands of Christians.
Chapter 18:
1. And after these things
I saw another angel
come down from heaven,
having great power;
and the earth
was lightened
with his glory.
2. And he cried mightily
with a strong voice,
saying,
Babylon the great
is fallen,
is fallen,
and is become
30
the habitation
of devils,
and the hold
of every foul spirit,
and a cage
of every unclean and hateful bird.
Which ever city it may be, it sure does not look good for it. It will be destroyed, and will not be suitable for human habitation. It’s empty hulks of destroyed buildings will become homes for all that is evil, animal, foul, and human.
3. For all nations
have drunk
of the wine
of the wrath
of her fornication,
and the kings
of the earth
have committed
fornication
with her,
and the merchants
of the earth
are waxed rich
through the abundance
of her delicacies.
The kings of the earth all are corrupt, and they all do what ever it takes in order to gain their ends. They are all searching for wealth of one sort or the other. At present, the greatest wealth comes from black liquid gold, oil. Most of the battles being fought, are basically about oil, even though this is kept secret from the general public.
When a battle is in the making, or comes about, it basically is over oil in one way or the other. The general public is given some sort of lame pathetic type of whitewash as an excuse, such as searching for WMD, weapons of mass destruction, or human rights, or faked terrorist threat. They go as far as to scam an attack on our own people, so they can have a somewhat legible sounding excuse to attack another small nation. It just so happens that these small nations are sitting over rich oil deposits.
31
4. And I heard another voice
from heaven, saying,
Come out her,
my people,
that ye be not partakers
of her sins,
and that ye receive not
of her plagues.
The people of God who happen to be living in this city are given warning to get out while they have time. The problem is still out front, which city? Which ever one it is, if they stay, they will suffer the same as those that the punishment is meant for.
5. For her sins
have reached
unto heaven,
and God
hath remembered
her iniquities.
Is the blood of the martyrs and the saints running in the streets of New York, and in Baghdad? I am unable to see any connection between these two cities and the city being described here. No doubt they are filled to heaven with sin, yet, have they executed Christians? Possibly in Baghdad, but not in New York. For me, it is narrowed down to two possibilities, either Rome and the Vatican, or Baghdad.
New York is home to the nest of vipers, which is the United Nations, but I do not see the blood of the saints on their hands as of yet. I feel that possibly when Christ comes back he will battle the U.N. from Mt. Zion. He will destroy it, and possibly New York City with it. Several warning shots have already been fired at it. I feel that these were given as a warning to the Christians that should be inhabitants of that huge megalopolis to leave while they have the chance.
6. Reward her
even as she rewarded you,
and double
unto her
double according to her works:
in the cup
which she hath filled
32
fill to her double.
7. How much she hath glorified
herself,
and lived deliciously,
so much torment
and sorrow
give her:
for she saith
in her heart,
I sit a queen,
and am no widow
and shall see
no sorrow.
Oil has made all those mid eastern countries rich beyond reason. Only yesterday I was watching how Baghdad had been modernized on television. These countries were at one time the poorest of the world,
until the oil revolution came about. Now with the gold flowing like water, they have become extremely lavish in their living. That is, those who happen to be in charge, not the little people, they still live in poverty as they did before. Only the ruling elite enjoy the riches that come from the liquid gold and the world continues to donate their life’s blood to them.
Yet, even though the nations are pouring gold and wealth beyond understanding into these little nations, they are being eye balled from another perspective, that of taking over their rich oil deposits for themselves, and this does include the great United States.
They feel that with their bottomless pit of wealth, that they are not vulnerable, that they can withstand any who come against them. In this they are wrong, and will soon discover that when riches are at hand, there is no sacrifice too large in gaining those riches.
I have seen this power play in the politics of this nation, and now, the nations themselves are playing the same games. When a portion of an apple becomes rotten, the whole apple is rotten, this is the same with the ruling classes. When it is made up of the corruptible, then the whole unit is corrupted.
8. Therefore shall her plagues
come in one day,
33
death,
and mourning,
and famine;
and she shall be utterly
burned with fire:
for strong is
the Lord God
who judgeth her.
Looks like this city is to be destroyed in one day by either, a massive type of burned earth bombing, or one nuclear type of device. It states here that it will be destroyed by fire, so it has to come from some sort of explosive type of munitions. Biological, or chemical would take several days to accomplish. It states that it will be utterly burned with fire. Utterly means completely, absolutely. Therefore, the complete city is to be destroyed by fire, which means with a bomb of great magnitude.
9. And the kings
of the earth,
who have committed
fornication
and lived deliciously
with her,
shall bewail her,
and lament for her,
when they shall see
the smoke of her burning.
This will be a blow to all who have gained their riches from this source. They will not be able to understand that their source of riches has been destroyed. They will not be mourning the great loss of life, but rather the riches they have lost. Life is cheap, when gold is at stake. Life means nothing, and it has always been that way. The only worth a man has, is what he is able to produce for the rich. When his ability has worn out, his worth is worn out as well.
With the destruction of the city comes famine. Those who happen to be able to survive the destruction, will have no means for the necessities of life such as food, water, clothing and shelter. Therefore they will starve from the lack of food, and die from thirst, and perish from the lack of medical help. Those who manage to survive will be at the mercy of the elements from the lack of adequate shelter.
34
10. Standing afar off
for the fear of her torment,
saying, Alas, alas that great city
Babylon,
that mighty city!
for in one hour
is thy judgment come.
This indicates to me that those who are bystanders will distance themselves from the remains of the city, due to what is there. They will be afraid of contamination. Possibly chemical, along with biological weapons were used in conjunction with explosive munitions. It may be that it was a nuclear device, and they are afraid of the radioactive fallout that results from this type of explosion.
11. And the merchants
of the earth
shall weep
and mourn
over her:
for no man
buyeth
their merchandise any more.
The oil supply has been cut off from the world, and now the world languishes in poverty, and is unable to purchase as before. Oil is the blood that makes the body go, without it, the body wastes away. The gold does not flow as before, and it has an impact on all the markets of the world. Everything depends on transportation of one kind or the other, and oil fuels all of it. Yes, the world has been made drunk with this wine, and withdrawal pains are difficult to cope with.
12. The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner of vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13. And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee,
and all things which are dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and
35
thou shalt find them no more at all.
15. The merchants
of these things,
which were made rich
by her, shall stand afar off
for fear
of her torment,
weeping,
and wailing,
16. And saying, Alas, alas
that great city,
that was clothed
in fine linen
and purple
and scarlet,
and decked with
gold,
and precious stones,
and pearls!
17. For in one hour
so great riches
is come to nought
and every shipmaster,
and all the company in ships,
and sailors,
and as many as trade
by sea,
stood afar off,
The city of Baghdad is in the center, or rather down on the eastern part of Iraq, far from the sea shore. It can not be seen from any sea. So, how will these who mourn so greatly be able to see the city burning? Of course they stood afar off, so as not to be contaminated by the radioactive fall out. Yet they were close enough to see it burning. I do not think they could see Baghdad from any sea that is close by. The closest sea is the Persian gulf, and it is about two hundred miles away. The Mediterranean and Caspian sea are several hundreds of miles away. These who watched the city burn see it from ships that are in the sea, this is clearly stated, sailors, and captains alike mourn the great loss. I think that possibly Baghdad could be ruled out as the Babylon of
36
these scriptures.
This leaves two likely candidates, Rome Italy, and New York City. I do not think that Rome controls much of the world’s supply of oil. The financial center for the world is more or less located in New York City. With this money supply, oil is both bought and sold. If the financial
center is destroyed, then that stops oil from flowing in the right directions. It is very possible that the statue of Liberty is an icon of what God calls the Great Whore.
If this is so, then we have a great catastrophe lurking just ahead, the sudden destruction of New York City, by the ten powers who hate her so. It takes a great amount of oil to fuel the ships at sea, and since this fuel supply has been severed, all merchandise will remain in ports. Those who were mourning this could plainly see what had happened, their source of wealth totally destroyed.
19. And they cast dust
on their heads,
and cried,
weeping
and wailing
saying, Alas, alas that great city,
wherein were made rich
all that had
ships in the sea
by reason of her costliness!
for in one hour
is she made desolate.
In one hour this city is destroyed. It would take a great deal of firepower to accomplish this. It could not be done with conventional types of weapons. The city is too large, and covers such a great area, that conventional firepower could not possibly do it. It with all reasoning will be done with a nuclear type of detonation. What a great loss of life, how many millions occupy this Megalopolis?
It would be beyond description. It would certainly stop the economy of the world. If I am not correct, I think there is a weapon even more devastating than the nuclear bomb. Seems like I have read, or heard someplace where they have concocted what is known as a hydrogen bomb. A weapon so devastating that it can not even be tested.
37
It really is not important what is used, but the fact remains that (Rev 18:19) states that this destruction is done in one hour. It must be of this nature, because they all keep their distance to keep from being contaminated. This will be of little good, because something of this magnitude would poison the air for hundreds, and even thousands of miles, even further depending on the wind flow.
I still have a bit of a mystery in the back of my mind. God states that
the blood of his martyrs and saints are on the hands of this city. New York City is not really that old. It is no older than America. The only reasoning for this would be those nations which the United Nations represent, and this may be where this blood can be found.
21. Rejoice over her,
thou heaven,
and ye holy apostles,
and prophets,
for God
hath avenged you on her.
This confirms that the blood of these men of God is on the hands of those who God destroyed in this great city. New York City has not had any sort of Crusades, or Inquisitions, such as the Vatican. Of course, the Vatican is represented at the United Nations. I think the Vatican has an ambassador there. Only time will tell for sure.
21. And a mighty angel
took up a stone
like a great millstone,
and cast
it into the sea,
saying, Thus with violence
shall that great city
Babylon
be thrown down,
and shall be
found no more at all.
22. And the voice
of harpers,
and musicians,
and of pipers,
and trumpeters,
38
shall be heard
no more at all
in thee;
and no craftsman,
of whatsoever craft he shall be,
shall be found
any more in thee;
and the sound
of a millstone
shall be heard
no more at all in thee;
23. And the light
of a candle
shall shine
no more at all in thee;
and the voice
of the bridegroom
and of the bride
shall be heard
no more at all in thee:
for thy merchants
were the great men
of the earth;
for by thy sorceries
were all nations
deceived.
24. And in her
was found
the blood
of prophets
and of saints,
and of all that were slain
upon the earth.
The death of a great city. Could New York City have all these sins? Possibly they are bundled tightly inside the walls of the United Nations. It may be that this great city, is not a city at all but rather a complete nation.
Our economies, our governments, and our lives have been controlled by the super elite rich, who are part and parcel of the occult. They were
39
controlled by the occult, which of course is controlled by Satan. All nations have been deceived by this shadow government, and have been enslaved from the beginning.
Now, within the period of one hour, it has been destroyed, never to rise again. Satan will always be a loser, which is alright with me, but on his road to destruction, he takes me and mine with him, this I do care about. Since all the nations have been deceived by the sorceries, which is the use of supernatural power over all, which comes from the most evil of sources, what city, nation, or organized force on earth at this time, could we most suspect?
It would be those who seek wealth, and the resulting power. Wealth in order to operate, and power to organize and to rule. This could not be done in the open, it would have to be in the dark. Therefore, with logical reasoning, we in the United States, and all citizens of all nations, have been bought and sold by the highly secret shadow government, which does own all the riches, wealth which was taken by raping, ravaging, and destroying the earth, and it’s occupants. This cancer, this rotting corruption which has fed off of all peoples as do leeches, has now been destroyed.
It is possible that this cancer, this stinking rotten sore, has been hidden within the walls of the United Nations. I am not in the know of their whereabouts, but God certainly is not ignorant to their location. He has waited patiently till they were all located in one location, before taking action. If this is so, then good bye New York City and all that surrounds it. God has given warning to all his people to vacate the premises, to get away from it. When it is destroyed, it is bye, bye to all the wealth and power.
What a shock this will be to all who may not be there, but as leeches themselves depend on this source for their blood stained gold. No wonder all the ship’s crews were wailing and mourning at the sight of this destruction, they knew exactly what the result would be.
As we all know, this event has not yet come about. When it does, there will not be one person on earth that will not know about it. Again, a fallacy in the organized religions of the day. This must come about prior to the return of Christ.
The churches do not preach detailed prophecy at all. Just a whimsical word here and there on it. You see, they feel they will be excused from
40
this type of destruction, therefore, they feel it is a waste of time to preach on it. So, they outline all their sermons on subjects which they think will make their congregations feel good about themselves. Not only that, but their sermons must be totally bleached out, politically correct in every sense of the word. Must not offend any religion, race, or political body. Truth must not ever see the light of day in their luxurious cathedrals of wealth.
