Can these be changed?
Are we
given this warning to change our
future? War will remain as long as there are those who wish to
fight, Famine will continue as it has for thousands of years, no man
can control the weather, or water loss. Disease will last in the
bodies of every cell that exists in one form or another despite the
work of scientists or doctors to eradicate it. There is no cure
for Death, it simply is, and shall always be.
The souls of the
righteous dead return to Heaven in the fifth
seal. The reward of supplication to God, to live forever with Him
in Heaven. A brief interlude between destructions it would seem.
A moment of peace before the rest of the storm follows suit.
Revelations 6:12
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and,
lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth
of hair, and the moon became as blood;
The return to the
natural disasters, earthquakes ravage the Earth, a
massive turning of the soil. People have lived and died because
of earthquakes, but I don't think they are talking about a little
tremor here. One that would shake the entire Earth. All of the
moving plates that make up the planetary shell would shift and
crack. This devastating event would further deteriorate the
veneer of civilized behavior, another every man for himself
scenario. But what other cataclysms would such an earthquake bring
about? Tidal waves of massive scale. Volcanoes erupting, all at once,
trying to release pressure. Continental land masses falling
beneath the waves, or engulfed by another plate of land. The loss
of live would be immeasurable. All this to occur under a black
sun and red moon. Black sun? An eclipse would be the
explanation for that. Red moon? The moon appears red on the
horizon at times as a result of heat and water vapors as its light
passes through the Earths atmosphere. We have had many
solar eclipses, and have seen numerous red moons, and nothing has
happened.
As well in the
sixth seal we see that the stars fall to Earth.
Again common occurrence as we have meteorites fall to Earth all the
time. This reference would seem to imply a large grouping of
them, as if we were pushed into an asteroid field and Earth has a large
target on its face. As if a massive earthquake wasn't bad enough,
we get pelted with space rock on top of it. The portent of
mountains and islands moving from their places, as told in this seal,
could be the result of these giant impacts, or of the earthquake(s).
At the seventh
seal we see another lull in the storm. The chosen
saved of the tribes were marked and taken to Heaven. Then there
was silence in Heaven. The next harbingers of destruction, seven
angels bearing seven trumpets, and the angel of the censer. The
censor filled with holy fire is cast down to Earth to echo the
earthquakes and storms. The first of the trumpeters sounded, and a rain
of hail, fire and blood, fell and burned the trees and grasses.
Famine once again, only to the highest extent. The next
angel we see sounds, and a great burning mountain falls to the sea
causing a third of it to turn to blood. This is another great
impact in the sea, the meteor/asteroid would probably be comprised of
red elements to cause the waters to turn red, also contaminating the
water supply, killing marine life in the area. Some resemblance
to red tide, which causes marine death.
8:10 And the
third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of
the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
8:11 And the name
of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of
the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because
they were made bitter.
The angel of
Planet X, Nibiru and many other appellations. The
mythology behind this star is large. Be it fantastical or
scientific, many have watched the skies for this bringer of doom.
The stories are too numerous to mention, some say that this was
the star that led the three magi to Christ's birthplace. Fitting
that it would also be the star of destruction in Revelations.
Wormwood, a poison, also a component in the making of absinthe would
poison the waters making them bitter. Killing the world with its
own bitterness wrapped up into a collective ball/star.
The fourth angel
darkens the sky, blacking out part of the sun, moon
and stars. The darkness of a major cataclysm, clouds shielding
the sky from view as if struck by nuclear winter. The days and
nights shorten as the amount of light is lessened more and more death
ensues. Venturing a guess as to how few people are alive if any
at this point in time, it seems now that it is a chalkboard being
smashed instead of a wash down. All traces of human civilization
would be completely destroyed and churned under the soil.
Locusts, are let
loose by the fifth angel to ravage the survivors who
are not marked with the seal of the tribes. Not to touch the land
or anything that is green, yet how could anything be green still on
this now hellish planet? Torture of the unsaved is the purpose of
these locusts, not to kill them, but to ensure punishment for five
months. Five months of torture, nothing to end the punishment,
even suicide would not end it. (Revelations 9:6 And in those days shall
men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and
death shall flee from them.)
And the sixth
angel blew its trumpet. Four bound angels released
to make war on a third of man, wiping them out with an army of
thousands. With their fire and brimstone breath they are to kill
the third part of man. How is this to be interpreted?
If by chance the planet is not in complete shambles, and
technology is still in working order, would not the fire and brimstone
breath hint at an atomic bomb, the four angels being four countries
letting loose on each other.
At the seventh
angel the destruction has passed, it proclaims the
cleansing of the Earth.
This angel
proclaims that St. John should prophesize to the nations on
the Earth of the coming war. The queen of heaven bears a child
that fights for God that Satan, as the dragon, fights to
overcome. The beast rises from the depths of the sea, having
seven heads and ten horns with ten crowns upon those horns. Many
believe that the seven heads represent the hills of Rome, and the ten
horns the offshoots of the Catholic Church.
This is the time
of the mark of the beast, the number that most people
fear, even when getting change from the store. This feared number
when sealed on the forehead or their right hand, is to be the only way
one is recognized to buy or sell. From Implanted chips under the
skin, to UPC codes, nothing has escaped the scrutiny of bible readers
in their search for this ominous number.
Why the fascination to find this
marking?
This Six
Hundred and Sixty Six will denote the
being that will be known as the anti-Christ.
From the Latin
translation: 13:18 hic sapientia est qui habet
intellectum conputet numerum bestiae numerus enim hominis est et
numerus eius est sescenti sexaginta sex.
This does
not denote a single man, but Mankind. In the
English translations it is the number of a single man. This
translation began the wildfires of who the anti-Christ was is or may be
in the future. Currently the rumors of G.W. Bush, Saddam Hussein
and others in current politics have been tapped as this figure.
The political
aspects of the book of Revelations do seem as if they
apply to today, though there is the possibility that what we read in
the book is a record of the past purges, things that have happened
before. The war for the rest of humanity takes place between Christ and
the anti-Christ here. It seems as if it is a political
battle. But it is not, plagues besiege mankind again, poisons,
famines and the like reoccur once again. Quite a bit of
redundancy to say the least, like most morality tales from earlier
times. It must be repetitive in order to teach the lesson.
After once again, these things happen on the Earth, another figure
appears on the stage.
Mystery, Babylon
the great mother of harlots and abominations.
This woman sits upon the back of the seven-headed beast in a position
of power. She is drunk with the blood of the saints, yet the
beast she sits upon turn against her. She is the great city that
kings despise and would destroy. After much destruction, Babylon
is fallen and God claims the victory over the anti-Christ and binds
Satan to the bottomless pit for a thousand years. This seems to happen
repeatedly it seems as the bonds are loosed after the tenure and cast
into the lake of fire. The return of the city of God, Jerusalem
the perfect utopian world, evil, night and death are no more.
Have these events
come to pass already, are they portents of things to
come, or are they simply morality teachings using the element of fear
to ensure good behavior for the masses who believe?
