GOD’S Great Reset

An Anonymous poster recently wondered if 1/3 of mankind perishes in the book of Revelation.  No, the number is much larger.  But, how large? I don’t know, as I’ve never done the math. Now is the time to do the math. The carnage in Revelation starts in chapter 6. I will calculate the death total in the order in which it appears.

[This note written AFTER I did the calculations. Surprisingly, while there is massive carnage and death, only three verses give the total actual deaths of humans, as a percentage!]

If you’ve never read Revelation, or it’s been a long time, you might enjoy reading this summary. You will have a basic, but solid, understanding of what Christians are talking about regarding End Time events. Except for one or two snarky comments, I offer no commentary when reviewing each chapter.  It’s a Sgt. Joe Friday presentation; “Just the facts, Ma’am.”  I do present Conclusions and Observations afterwards. This is presented on purpose to be a quick read (about 15 minutes), a revealing of the main themes of each chapter, while ignoring fluff-stuff.

I think you will be shocked at the level of bloodshed and violence, including torture.

I titled this “GOD’S Great Resetbecause that’s exactly what it is. A great many people — believers, and non-believers alike — achingly long for the Judgement of God.  We ache for God’s vengeance and justice to be meted out to what we see as Great Evil consuming our world. Who can blame them? Those who suffer have been crying out for thousands of years. But, to such people I ask; “Do you have any idea how gruesome that judgment will be? What makes you think YOU will survive?  Be careful what you wish for!

 ===============

 Starting Wiki Population: 7,674,000,000   (The remaining population after each carnage will be in parenthesis)

 REVELATION 6

Seal 1:    White horse. The rider has a bow, a crown, and is “bent on conquest” — No deaths

Seal 2:   Red Horse, takes away peace and “makes people kill each other” —  Deaths not given

Seal 3:   Black Horse, economic ruin (a day’s wages for a loaf of bread) — Deaths not given.

Seal 4:   Pale Horse. Rider named Death. Hades follows him.  Death comes via “sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth“—- 25% die  (1,918,500,000 die / 5,755,500,000 left)

Seal 5:  Souls of martyrs in heaven. They cry out in a loud voice to God “to avenge our blood” — No deaths.

Seal 6:  Massive earthquakes all over the glove. Sun turns black. Moon turns blood red. Stars fall from heaven. The heavens recede “like a scroll being rolled up“. EVERY mountain and island was “removed from its place” Every human on earth begs for death. — Deaths not given

 REVELATION 7

144,000 from the 12 tribes of Israel get seals on their foreheads. Billions of people (“a multitude that no one could count”)  clothed in white robes wave palm branches and tell God how great He is. ALL the angels., elders, and four living creatures do likewise.—- No deaths.

 REVELATION 8

Seal 7:  Seal opened. Silence in heaven for 30 minutes. Then 7 angels with 7 trumpets appear. An angel appears with a golden censer which contains “the prayers of all God’s people“.  The angel hurls the censer on the earth which results in “thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake“.—- No deaths.

Trumpet 1:   Hail and fire mixed with blood.  One third of earth, trees, and all green grass burned up. — Deaths not given.

Trumpet 2:   Huge burning mountain thrown in the sea. One third of sea turns to blood. One third of everything living in the sea dies. One third of ships sunk . — Deaths unknown.

Trumpet 3:  A star named Wormwood crashes into one third of the rivers and springs. One third of the rivers turn bitter. —  Deaths unknown but, “Many people died

Trumpet 4:  One third of the sun, moon, and stars are struck and are “turned dark”. An eagle appears and cries out that the next three trumpets (three “woes“) will be even worse. — Deaths not given.  (But, I’m guessing that if one third of the sun goes dark say, at noon, that by 12:15 the entire population of the world would be Frozen Popsicles.)

 REVELATION 9

 Trumpet 5:  The first “woe”.  An angel falls to earth and is given the key to the Abyss … which produces smoke like “from a gigantic furnace“. The sun and sky are darkened. Again.

A legion of truly scary and fearsome locusts (like scorpions) come forth from the smoke, led by the “Destroyer”.  They have hair like a woman and teeth like a lion. (Nancy Pelosi?) They are not allowed to harm anyone having “the seal of God on their foreheads”.  They may harm, but not kill, everyone else. The locust’s Marching Orders; “only to torture them for five months.” Once again, people pray for death but, it won’t be given. —  No deaths.

 

Trumpet 6:   Four angels who have been hanging out for eons “at the great river Euphrates” are finally released. There are “two hundred million” enemy mounted troops stationed by the Euphrates.—- One third of humanity dies (1,899,315,000 die / 3,856,185,000 left) .The people left alive still refuse to repent.

REVELATION 10

Interlude:  A “mighty angel” comes down from heaven. This is an interesting angel.

[The angel is robed in a cloud, has a rainbow above his head, a face like the sun, legs like fiery pillars (one foot on the sea and one on land), roars like a lion (which results in “seven thunders” speaking — but we’re not allowed to know what they said). The angel is holding a little scroll. The narrator eats the scroll, which is sweet to his tongue but bitter in his stomach.]

The most important takeaway in this chapter is this; the angel reveals that when the 7th trumpet sounds “the mystery of God will be accomplished”. —- No deaths.

REVELATION 11

Two witnesses prophecy in Jerusalem for 42 months. They have power to cause droughts, turn water into blood, and “strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want“. They are like Superman … they kill anyone who tries to harm them via “fire [which] comes from their mouths.

After 42 months the Beast kills them. [First mention of the Beast. It is the same as Beast #1 in Rev. 13.] For three and a half days all the inhabitants of the earth rejoice and give each other gifts because these two witnesses caused all people great torment. Then they are resurrected and go”up to heaven in a cloud“.

Immediately, a great earthquake rocks Jerusalem and 7,000 die. —-  Deaths (7,000 die / 3, 856,178,000 left). This time the survivors “gave glory to the God of heaven.“.

 REVELATION 12

This chapter opens with heavy symbolism dealing with Israel and Jesus.

The reader is introduced to a “woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.” She’s about to give birth but “an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads” tries to prevent it, and fails. The dragon’s tail also sweeps “a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth“.

Then war breaks out in heaven. Satan loses. Satan is hurled to Earth, along with his angels. Satan is really pissed off. The dragon (Satan) tries to kill the woman and child. He fails.  The dragon decides to wage war against the woman’s offspring, which are “those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus—- No deaths.

 REVELATION 13

The Dragon is standing by the seashore when a Beast with 10 horns and 10 heads arises from the sea. The Beast blasphemes God and wages war against God’s people.  All the rest of the people love the Beast and the Dragon. The beast suffers a fatal wound on one head.

A second Beast rises … this one out of the Earth. It is even more powerful than the first Beast. It heals the fatal head wound of the first Beast. The second Beast makes everyone get a “666” mark on their foreheads. The number represents a man. The 2nd Beast gives power to the 1st Beast so that the 1st beast can kill people who don’t worship it. —- Deaths unknown.

 REVELATION 14

144,000 worship God on Mt. Zion.They sing a song. No one else knows how to sing this song. The 144,000 are all virgins.

One angel “flying in midair” was shouting that people need to fear God for judgment is coming,  Another angel flying around announced that Babylon has fallen. A third angel announces that anyone who took the mark is really screwed – being tormented with burning sulfur forever.   This endless torture is done in the presence of angels and the Lamb.  —- Total deaths unknown.

An angel sitting on “a white cloud” tells one “like the son of man” to “Take your sickle and reap”.  Another angel with a sickle joins in.  Another angel in charge of fire also joins in. They reap.  One angel swings his sickle and throws the grapes (people) into “the great winepress of God’s wrath“.  The blood rose “as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 180 miles”  —- Deaths unknown. [One author calculated that that amount of blood would require almost 12,000 times the current population of the planet Earth! Read here, That’s A Lotta Blood!

REVELATION 15

Announces 7 more angels are coming with 7 more plagues … bowls of wrath.

[Note: This could be a prophecy about America. Just when you thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse, well … they can!]

Meanwhile, people who had been victorious over the beast held harps given them by God” and are singing  “Great and marvelous are your deeds,  Lord God Almighty.” —- No deaths.

 REVELATION 16

Bowl 1:  Ugly festering sores break out on those who have The Mark.  —- No deaths.

Bowl 2:  The sea turns “into blood like that of a dead person” EVERY living thing in the sea dies.  —- No human deaths.

Bowl 3:   All rivers and springs turn into blood.  —- No deaths.

Bowl 4:   Sun scorches people with fire.  —- No deaths.

Bowl 5:   The Beast’s Kingdom (Earth) plunged into darkness. People gnaw their tongues in agony. —- No deaths.

Bowl 6:   The Euphrates is dried up to prepare the way for the Kings of the East. Three demonic spirits that look like frogs perform signs and gather the Kings of the world for the big battle.  —- No deaths.

 Bowl 7:   An angel pours the bowl into the air. A voice says “It is done”.  The biggest earthquake of all time occurs. The cities of the nations collapse. EVERY island and mountain disappears. Hailstones weighing 100 pounds fall on people. —-  Number of deaths not given. But, it must have been very many.

 REVELATION 17

The Babylon chapter.  There is a woman bedecked in gold, precious stones and pearls and the name written on her forehead is, “Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Prostitutes And Of The Abominations Of The Earth.

Whores of Babylon

She is sitting on a scarlet beast with 7 heads and 10 horns. The main clue as to who she represents is this; “The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits”.  [It’s Rome.]  The 10 horns are 10 kings who wage war against the saints … for “one hour”.  Shock and awe! The beast and 10 kings eventually turn on the prostitute and “they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire”. —- Deaths not given.

 REVELATION 18

First God warns his people regarding Babylon;  Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues.

The rest of the chapter chronicles the lament of the entire world at the fall of Babylon– from kings to merchants to consumers, they all weep — for many “grew rich from her excessive luxuries“. 

An angel picks up a boulder the size of a millstone, casts it into the sea, and proclaims : “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.”  Auf Wiedersehn, Babylon.   —- Deaths not given.

 REVELATION 19

The first half of the chapter shows all of heaven rejoicing over the fall of Babylon; great multitudes, the 24 elders, the 4 living creatures, a voice from the throne, and more great multitudes. And a partridge in a pear tree.

Then the heavens open up, and a rider named “Faithful and True” appears on a white horse. The writer of Revelation gives enough clues to identify the rider as Jesus. Then an angel “standing in the sun” cries out to the birds “flying in midair”;

—- “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.

And then, rather matter-of-factly, almost anticlimactically, with little fanfare, in a mere 109 words (NIV) — the Beast and False Prophet are thrown alive into the lake of fire.  The Kings of the Earth and their massive armies are killed by “the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse”. —- Deaths unknown,  but must have been many millions.

And thus ends the carnage portion of God’s Great Reset.

====== =

But, what about the rest of the Great Reset? How does the story end?

— REV. 20;  Satan is cast into the Abyss for 1,000 years.  Those who did not take The Mark are brought back to life and reign with Christ 1,000 years.  The rest of the dead, the non-martyrs,  come to life after the 1,000 years.  This is “the first resurrection“.  Something called “the second death” will have no power over them and, they also, reign with Christ for 1,000 years.

After 1,000 years Satan is released. Satan gathers an enormous army – Gog and Magog (again!) – and loses. Again.  At last, Satan is cast into the lake of burning sulfur forever and ever.

Next we see a great white throne, all the dead are there, and books are opened. One book is called the Book of Life.  If you’re name is not in it, you will be thrown into the lake of fire.

 — REV. 21;  The “first earth” has passed away. This chapter is all about “a new heaven and a new earth” and a detailed description of the New Jerusalem.

 

The New Jerusalem comes down from heaven. It is spectacular with streets of gold as transparent as glass. The city is about 1,400 miles long on each side.  Huge walls made with 12 layers of precious jewels.  Twelve gigantic gates made from a single pearl (must have come from a really really Big Oyster).

The Cardinal Virtues and Daily Examination of Conscience: Doctrinal Homily Outline for the First Sunday of Advent (Year A) - Doctrinal Homily Outlines

There are no more tears, no death. The city doesn’t even need a sun or moon because the glory of God gives it light.

— REV. 22;  More description of the beauty of heaven. There is a “river of the water of life” which flows from the throne of God and down the middle of Main Street. There is also a “tree of life” on each side of the river which yields fruit every month. The curse has been lifted.

An angel appears to John and announces that all this stuff described in Revelation “must soon take place”.  Apparently there are people living outside the city gates; — “Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”

People are warned not to add to this Revelation, and if they do “God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll“.  People are warned not to subtract from this Revelation, and if they do “God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life“.

The second to last verse of the Bible ends with Jesus saying “Yes, I am coming soon.”.

This is the Great Reset, from beginning to end, according to God.

 ==================

ANALYSIS ON NUMBER OF DEAD PEOPLE

 The two main verses which give the the percentage of dead people are the 4th seal (25% dead) and the 6th trumpet (33% dead).  At a bare minimum, this comes out to just under 50% of the world croaking …. about 3.8 BILLION people.

The number must be much higher than that, of course.  All we can do is speculate and estimate;

— No sun! It seems the most deaths would occur in those instances where the sun turns dark;  Trumpet 4 where 1/3 of the sun goes dark, Trumpet 5 where the sun goes dark, and Seal 6 where the sun turns black.

If you put a steamy cup of coffee in the refrigerator, it wouldn’t immediately turn cold. The Earth’s atmosphere will retain heat for a short while, and our molten core will provide some heat.  But,it won’t last long. Within a year temperature will drop to -100 degrees.  Also, all photosynthesis stops immediately. That can’t be good for food supply … for us, and animals.  But, I think it is sheer terror and panic which will be the real killer … by the tens, if not hundreds, of millions. See How Long Would We Have If The Sun Went Out

— Other Horses:  The red horse makes “people kill each other“.  The black horse brings economic ruin.

— Earthquakes:  Seal 6 and Bowl 7 bring massive worldwide earthquakes.

— Misc:  Worldwide famines, drought, plagues of every kind, 100 pound hailstones, contamination of water, every mountain and island “removed from its place“, and a river of blood 180 miles long  …… must certainly result in hundreds of millions of deaths.

— What Jesus said: What we do know is what Jesus said (Mt. 24:22) — “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.“.  Indeed, the Terror of Tribulation would have wiped out all humanity, except for Jesus’ return.

But, all the terrors (7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 bowls) actually DO take place! So, what is actually “cut short“?  Well, the Tribulation itself was cut short to 7 years!   In other words, God preordained, before time immemorial, that when the Tribulation comes that it would be limited (cut short) to seven years.  Had it gone on any longer no flesh would have survived. The days of woe and tribulation, therefore, were shortened to seven years specifically for “the elect“.

Who are the elect?  They are people still alive on Earth after the seven years of Tribulation. It can be no one else.  The elect throughout the Bible is always a very small number.  Many are chosen, but few are called. Jesus said, “Broad is the road that leads to destruction, and MANY enter through it. Narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a FEW find it.

Based on the above, I am arbitrarily, but reasonably, estimating that a minimum of 95% of the world population will be dead at the end of the seventh year of woe and tribulation.  I see 7,290,300,000 dead people.

 ==================

CLOSING THOUGHTS: 6 THINGS I WONDER ABOUT

1)-  The writer of Revelation (supposedly, John) is going through an awful lot of gyrations to have God dispense of a few billion bad dudes.  Doesn’t he know God is all-powerful?  God could easily wipe out the human race with just one plague …. like, Covid-19.  Or, maybe that’s what the Shit Shot is all about? Doesn’t he know God is all-knowing? God knows who the assholes are! Doesn’t he know God  speaks things into happening?  God only needs to say, “Hey, all you assholes. Die!” … and it would be done.  Why, all this …. drama?

2)-  Speaking of drama, the book of Revelation, as you have just seen and read, is a book of absolute maximum terror. Stephen King couldn’t write a more terror filler horror story. Stephen Spielberg couldn’t film it accurately … splashing all that blood and gore and suffering and pain on the big screen would make even the most hard-core psychopath vomit after five minutes.

Yet, we are to believe that God takes pleasure in all this?  Recall what is said in Revelation 14 — “They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.” Recall that the locusts were told to “torture” people for five months.  Recall that people cry out for death … and not even that final dignity is given for they haven’t yet been tortured enough. What kind of Deity is this really … this one which John imagines?  Is this a God worthy of worship? Or, is there more to the story? Hmmm, stay tuned.

3)-  I find the fifth seal (Rev. 6) to be particularly odd. This is where the martyred loudly cry out to God How long … until you … avenge our blood?“. So, they’re in heaven, a fantastically wonderful happy place of joy, love, and forgiveness …. and people are still looking for revenge??  C’mon, man!

4)-  I wish people would stop associating “666” with the Beast, or antichrist, or whatever. Stop getting your theology from TV or the movies. The one short reference to that number clearly states it is “the number of A MAN“.  A man who lived at THAT time, and no other time, especially our time. Read The Untold Truth About The Antichrist

5)- When you read through the summary of Revelation 6 through Revelation 22 did you read anything which indicated the sudden disappearance (aka, the Rapture) of all Christians?  I’ll answer that in case you didn’t read it — the answer is a resounding “No!”.  Yet, all proponents of Rapture theology seek support for their position from the book of Revelation!  This is very very odd. Hmmmm.

But, I didn’t summarize Chapters 1 thru 5.  Is there anything in those chapters which indicate some kind of “Rapture”?  Actually, there could be, in Revelation 3:10;

 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

The only escape hatch provided by the book of Revelation is the snatching away of believers BEFORE ANY EVENT IN REVELATION 6 – 19 EVEN STARTS.  For a thorough (25 pages) understanding of this view read “The Rapture And The Book Of Revelation”

And this brings me to my final musings.

6)  WHAT IF???

—- What if a non-literal interpretation of Revelation’s blood, gore, and mayhem relieves that book and its depiction of God of its odiousness? Wouldn’t that be worth investigating?

—- What if you change your thinking about the book? Do you think you will be cast into the lake of fire?

—- What if the real message of Revelation is about transformation, justice, and hope … and not about war, destruction, and despair?

—- What if God judges evil by restoring the world (Rev. 21:1) …. rather than destroying it?

—- What if Revelation was written to recount the suffering, persecution, and hopes encountered by first-century Christians and then Christians throughout time ….. instead of only one generation of Christians far off in some unknown future, now 2,000 years and counting?

—- What if everything you thought you knew about Revelation might be in error?  Would you at least pursue truth more diligently?  I hope so. You can handle the truth!

By Pastor Paul M. Sadler

“And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed” (Rev. 8:8,9).

The blast of the second trumpet sends an object hurling out of the heavens that will destroy a third part of marine life, as well as a third part of the ships at sea. The Holy Spirit is careful to add that this heavenly body was “as it were a great mountain.” In other words, it was not a mountain as such, but had characteristics like a mountain—it was immense and had the appearance of solid rock. This could well be a description of an asteroid, which has many of the same features.

An asteroid can range from a few feet in diameter to hundreds of miles across and everything in between. There are tens of thousands of them, orbiting the sun in what’s called a band asteroid belt. It is well known that asteroids frequently pass by the earth, normally at great distances. Here it seems apparent that the finger of God will supernaturally alter the course of one of these heavenly objects. If a large asteroid were to pass through our atmosphere, we would probably describe it the same way that John did, as a mountain burning with fire.

The Apostle John then observed that this massive missile was cast into the sea. In all probability, this is the Mediterranean Sea since the second bowl judgment of Revelation 16 will be far more extensive and destructive to the oceans of the world. It has been said, “The steps of God from mercy to judgment are always slow, reluctant, and measured.” At this stage of the trumpets, God’s judgments will still be tempered with mercy so as to give men an opportunity one last time to repent and turn to Him in faith; the full scope of His fury will be unleashed later, in the bowl judgments. The surface area of the Mediterranean Sea is roughly nine hundred sixty-five thousand, three hundred (965,300) square miles, a third of which would be three hundred twenty-one thousand, seven hundred sixty-seven (321,767) square miles. Once again, to give you some idea as to the extent of this second judgment, the area of the Mediterranean affected would be greater than the State of Texas.

An asteroid, or whatever this enormous object is, falling into the Mediterranean Sea will be catastrophic. John is very careful to point out that before the death of marine life, “the third part of the sea became blood,” reminiscent of Egypt again, when God supernaturally turned the water into blood (Ex. 7:20). Multiply that miraculous event a hundredfold, and you have some idea of the severity of this judgment. Men will undoubtedly look on in horror as the sea turns to crimson.

The apostle then adds, “And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died.” The death of marine life will not cause the bloody sea; to the contrary, the bloody sea will kill the marine life. Creatures of the sea such as fish, dolphins, and turtles will be unable to survive in these conditions. The result will be death on a grand scale! If you’ve ever gone fishing, you know that one dead fish on the water’s edge is enough to drive you to another fishing spot. Imagine millions of fish floating on the surface of the water; the stench will be unbearable, as it was in Egypt (Ex. 7:21).

“And the third part of the ships were destroyed.” An asteroid a mile wide, hitting the earth at 30,000 miles per hour would produce 10 to 50 million times the energy of the atom bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. It would “flatten everything for 100 to 200 miles out from ground zero.” The carnage will be incomprehensible as many shipyards will be totally wrecked. Those ships at sea within the range of this blast will capsize and be swept away by the ensuing tidal waves. The aftermath of this judgment will devastate the fishing industry and hamper world shipping and trade on an unprecedented scale. It will be a financial disaster for hundreds of ports of call that rely on tourism.

As we are already witnessing, the Lord will be like a mighty man of war in the day of battle, with a military strategy that will make the warmongers of this world tremble (Isa. 42:13). With just two blasts of the trumpets, He will decimate trade and commerce on both land and sea.

This article is an excerpt from Volume 2 of Pastor Paul Sadler’s commentary on the book of Revelation.

So this is what I don’t get….

If Satan knows in advance that cards are rigged and he is going to lose. Why does he even bother trying? I kinda sympathize with the guy. My recent tiff with the Minister of justice in Nova Scotia followed the same dialectic. Me, like the Red Prince, pissing into the wind, the Lord above, with all the cards telling me to suck on it. Him telling me that he makes the rulez, holds all the cards and you are gonna fucken like it. And you don’t have to like it cuz that is how it is… and snake eyes will be watching you.

With the Devil at least, he can see the battle plans, the trumpets, the locusts, the fire, and the brimstone. It is all fucken laid out for all to see.

Why doesn’t the Prince of Darkness come up with another plan? He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. It doesn’t make sense to me.

If God created everything it would be pretty fucken dumb for him to not stack the deck so that the plan wouldn’t succeed.

Cuz same as it ever was, gambling’s for fools, rolling snake eyes is for fools for those who make the rules if they want to win always make sure they hold the ace of spades…

And don’t forget the joker!

This leads me to this revelation. Leemie wrote a song about it years ago.

“Ace Of Spades”

If you like to gamble, I tell you I’m your man,
You win some, lose some, it’s all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don’t share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it’s all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades

You know I’m born to lose, and gambling’s for fools,
But that’s the way I like it baby,
I don’t wanna live forever,
And don’t forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me,
Read ’em and weep, the dead man’s hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it’s gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades

I like how you talk about fascism but say ‘don’t get hung up on the words national socialism.’ Seems ass backwards to me, but oh well, that’s why I didn’t make any suggestions before. I’m terrible at introducing these ideas. Do you tell someone to read Which Way Western Man? (maybe, the guy started as the most sincere christian I’ve ever heard of) or talk them into listening to whatever the modern version of William Luther Pierce’s radio show is called? Hell, I don’t know.

Thanks for mentioning Bowden. I’ve manage to somehow never have heard him, only of him.

Stuck, (can I call you Stuck?),

I asked you a question that I think is important; How do you know if the voice that speaks to you is the voice of God?

Satan has a reputation as being the greatest liar and deceiver of all time, anywhere, and it took a lot of Angels working with God to throw him out of Heaven…

I never thought about this until I moved to where I now live and met a lot of Evangelicals of all sorts, and discovered that a lot of them claimed God talked to them on a regular basis.

Sitting back and watching led me to believe that at least some of them were listening to Satan and thinking it was God.

How do you know, for sure?

On another line, I rejected Catholic dogma early on, because it seemed formulaic and legalistic- Just what Jesus said was wrong with Judaism in his time.

As I explored many other religions, I discovered that lots of them were also formulaic and legalistic.

At this time in my life, I think that it is Satan who turns religions away from their true purpose, who makes them formulaic and legalistic and gives power to Priests and Shamans of all sorts.

I also asked you another question- Do you think whoever it was that created the Book of Revelation was a Prophet?

If not, why bother to give any credence to anything in Revelations?

So comical that this discussion takes on a serious tone. So this now becomes relevant because the weak and frail americans see their party coming to an end….so it must be that their saviour is coming.

What about the other atrocities in the world that go unmentioned?? where was your god and/or jesus during Bolshevism when jewish atrocities mounted more than 66 million deaths of innocent people. Not just death but starvation, medical experimentation, rape, children abuse…,,all the worst horrors unimaginable by you and most others.

What about the innocent killings of 10s of millions of innocent lives by the USA and its allies (Britian, France & Israel)?? IMHO….none of the americans will be saved under your revelation theory since you supported this government while willfully blinded to the evils performed on millions….STILL TO THIS DAY. Syrians are being starved for no good reason besides greed and revenge by Israeli kooks who also control the US government.

After reading this revelation, my choice is to avoid all this BS suffering especially after dealing with this US government. Just wipe me off the slate and destroy my spirit. I’m sick of this crap and refuse to suffer anymore than I choose.

There is no odiousness. Unbelievers are rightfully punished for their sins because they refused to accept the payment for them by Jesus Christ.

Revelation is not chronological – it looks at the end time from various aspects (notably, in symbology the four corners of the world and/or God’s convenant after the flood with the four beasts as kings of their kind: the Lion, Ox, Eagle and Man precisely the Egyptians four sons of Horus).

Probably 2/3 will die, which makes sense: 6.66 🙂
Zechariah 13:8 “And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.”

This is IT! Avoid ALL that is NOT of the Lord Jesus. To my fellow Believers, consider this an Exhortation. 🙂

To All Peoples: A Message of Salvation
The World that is now, has rejected God. The hardship and plagues we have been experiencing are Gods attempts to WAKE You UP!!! What HAS happened is NOTHING compared to the catastrophe that is on the way. No amount of prepping, praying, hoping, thinking, meditating, crying, drinking, positivity, optimism-NOTHING, NO THING, NO THOUGHT, Absolutely Nothing, will halt, stop or lighten what is next.

You do Not have to be here!! How can I be so Sure, you ask? Because you can be Saved by the Blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, and He has such a great love for His Children, that those who are Saved, will not be living through that horror show. Come one, come all- and learn a simple truth: God is not blind to what all is happening. There IS a Heaven and there is a Hell. —-BUT****There is a Blessed Hope: There is freedom in Jesus Christ. Even if this message of God’s goodness and Mercy, and message of Salvation through Jesus Christ, brings persecution, I will count it greater a blessing to have pulled a soul from Hell, than to be silent in fear, and see that soul lost forever in Hell . *For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believe; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.* To have Faith in Jesus Christ, is trusting in His grace to bring you to Himself, to save you from hell. There are only 2 Commandments that we as Christians are to live by:the first is To love the Lord thy God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. the second is like unto this: to Love thy neighbor as thyself. To love someone is to tell them the truth, no matter how painful it sounds, for then the pain can be lessened by finding Peace in Christ Jesus. I myself would want to be told the truth, so I am telling this to you. Time is so short, now.

KNOW that God IS in control. Do NOT take the vaccine or get microchipped, and then also tell others that Jesus is the ONLY Name by which you may get into Heaven; there is NONE other. It is NOW becoming GLOBALLY MANDATORY that all get the Shots. These people who are calling the shots are out to steal your souls!! DO NOT LET THEM! Instead, turn to The Lord Jesus, and call on His name, and He WILL free you from your bonds of sin and shame. Please do not delay.

From the King James Bible; The Gospel according to John:
3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 3:17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

3:18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 3:19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 3:20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 3:21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

We all can see that a BIG something is coming, and that it is not based on our own physical understanding of what we see is happening. It is God’s will. Is not God, He who sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us, so that through Him we may be saved and live eternally with Him in Heaven; is He not greater than anything that is on this earth? To know Gods blessed salvation through Jesus Christ, one must become Born Again… Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and You shall be saved.

If you get to this point and believe, please feel free, as God leads, to pass this message on.

The anaerobic degradability of cellulose and wood is scientifically fixed, which means that everything written on paper, papyrus, birch bark, palm leaf, etc. cannot physically survive over max 500 years – and even that is a stretch (no, putting them in jars or a vault doesn’t change that due to inherent fungi, bacteria and insects). Therefore, all historical evidence based thereupon may be nothing less than conjecture. This also means that timelines are wrong and nothing, except stories engraved on copper and stone, can be dated with certainty before the middle ages. The earliest manuscripts of famous Greek philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, Xenophon, Aristophanes Horace, etc) are in fact few, copies of the presumed existing originals, and dated 1000 years later. So with the same logic as ignorantly set out above, proof of their historical existence should then certainly be denied, like Jesus. And we end up with nothing “ancient” (which may be a relief of sorts :-).
Zeitgeist made a revealing claim (for those who have ears to hear 🙂 that the Jesus Christ story was just a copy of old myths, with similar story lines (born of virgin, resurrection 3rd day) of (notably) Egyptian Horus, pre-Zoroastrian Mythra, Hindu’s Krishna (what’s in a name :-), Greek Attis and Dionysus (what’s in a name again :-), etc. etc. Millions ignorami eagerly fell for it, so they could remain comfortably numb without having to “change their way of life” and God forbid, repent.
But of all these myths, there is no written MS (first attested manuscript) before 1000AD. Vedic Sanskrit (biblical Hittite) is not attested before this time (oldest is Bakhsali manuscript dated AD 885–993 and first MS of Panini even later, both on birch bark 🙂 and neither is Pali, arguably derived from older Avestan (500-1200AD), while incorporating the devils (daeva’s) of the Zoroastrian belief system (based on the Enochian fallen angels descending on Mount Hermon) and mistakenly worshipped them as “gods” (deva’s) in Buddhism and Hinduism and Veda’s (of which Western new age/yoga “love me first” repackaged mysticism of the East remain ignorant of, at its own peril :-).
But why would the sphinx have the body of a lion and the face of a virgin? (aka “Gospel in the stars”, Jesus born of a virgin, coming back as the lion king). Was the sun really worshipped by these “ancients” or just revered as symbol for the light created on the first day (Sunday) and Jesus Christ as the light of the world resurrected on the third day (Sunday)? Why are the sons of Horus exactly the same as the four symbolic recipients of God’s covenant after the flood? Why has every belief system the story of the flood, a savior, a winged serpent and other Christian related storylines (e.g., James George Frazer)? Why are New Testament scriptures found on the mummies in Egypt (which suppose to be centuries older)? Why do the ancient Chinese characters find their symbolic meaning in Bible stories? Why are most original MS of Greek astrologers and philosophers describing old belief systems all written in Arabic or Persian? Why is every depiction of Jesus Christ always in a Middle Age setting? etc etc. etc.
Ergo: what if the Zeitgeist hypothesis may be correct, but the interpretation is exactly the opposite (in the sense of a Satanic reversal :-)? What if all these “religions” are falsely placed back in ancient times and chronology has been purposely changed? (see, e.g., Anatolia Fomenko). And thus, those pagan myths are a corruption of the Jesus Christ story which came before it in world historical timeline? And what we are not supposed to know, is that in fact the apostles were successful indeed, and the entire world was told about Jesus and perhaps there was peace and harmony based on free trade and exchange of crafts worldwide under a Christian-based system? (in fact, Europe was called Chrestenrijk in old Dutch maps). But we are suppose to believe that Christian anarchy and “love your neighbor” failed, and war is normal and unavoidable, and thus acceptable as the way of the world, no? If we are brainwashed to believe such peace and harmony to be unattainable, we are less inclined to strive for it and make it happen again. We would never accept mass killing of innocent people in far away countries for any other reason than obtaining peace. We would not let us be dehumanized as mere darwinistic ape-based species, as robotic consumers of useless material and dumbing down entertainment, as data-mined and tax-burdened merchandise of the nation corporations and banks, as test subjects of sick-making billions-generating pharmakeia (drug, magic or spell), while seduced to a transient carpe diem life “in the now” as mere lovers of ourselves, since there is no God, no heaven no hell, no purpose no sin, no justice no Saviour … Après moi, le déluge … (Escape from Reason, Francis Schaeffer)
It’s just a thought, but a dangerously interesting one in view of the current unipolar controlled divide and conquer system increasingly tightly knit around us by every new Covid day sealing us with the mark of beast in Egyptian captivity with an orchestrated 7 bad years ahead so we will surrender all our possessions and lands to the Pharaonic overlords in return for some food as cunningly thought out by the favorite son of Jacob, which clearly, can only be successful if none remember their predestinated divine origin (Omne vivum ex vivo via crebritudo ex Deo) and especially the teachings of Jesus Christ (do no harm, the holy spirit (truth), the sword (the word of God) and “I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions”) and the coming apocalypse or “taking of the cover” to reveal all truths (the word “matrix” is copied from the Bible after all 🙂
