Jesus is calling today, open your hearts to receive him.

9/5/26: I began studying this closely again a few months ago, and lost interest, but it was J.D. Vance's saying that he would be proud to do anything that would contribute to the End Times--that whole Christian Nationalist focus from a Biblical perspective, bring it on!--that got me back on this horse (one of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse, natch). I do see how the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse are being mapped out, and I do think The End is (probably) near for all (or at least many) of us, (and I am 73, so me sooner than others) and certainly near for billions of us, at the very least, but as an agnostic, a skeptic, my views align more closely to the UN's recent report--one of hundreds in the last years we have largely ignored, in the US and other G7/G20 countries, especially--that we will no longer be able to avoid climate catastrophe; in fact, we are well in it already. In other words, I believe in science but am interested in taking a look at this again, to see what it might have to say to me/us.
9/6/26: The Book of Revelation is seen, whether you are not a believer in Christianity, as one of the great apocalyptic texts. Of course some “fundamentalist” Christians believe in the literal truth of the text, some many other Christians think it may have some truths to offer in a general or metaphorical way. And if you are not a Christian, it is still obviously an interesting text, with lots of vivid writing and provocative ideas. I grew up, as they say, "in the Church," a very conservative Dutch Christian Reformed church in western Michigan--I'm no longer a member of any religion--and rarely heard sermons on Revelation--so complicated to explicate!--though I recall vividly one sermon on it where the minister spoke of how he looked forward to the bodies rising from their graves and popping out of the water at the Second Coming.
To begin, according to Biblical tradition, the text of this book of the Holy Bible we are told is seen as the prophecy of Jesus Christ about the End Times, “sent and signified it by his angel” to a writer named John, who may or may not be John the Apostle, but it was affirmed by those in charge of those compiling the Bible to be divinely inspired, delivering prophetic visions from God Himself, so is included in the Holy Bible. The text was sent initially to the "Seven Churches of Asia Minor" in the form of a kind of missive or letter, though it appears he had a wider audience in mind as well. I mean no disrespect to anyone, including members of my own family, many of whom I would describe as evangelicals or fundamentalist Christians who take this text as literal Truth, the Word of God.
9/7/26: 1:7 Behold, he [Jesus Christ, in a Second Coming] cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him[as in, the Crucifixion]: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him." Retribution.
John (or Jesus, it often shifts in point of view) first sees seven candlesticks (the first of many "seven" sightings; in prophetic literature the number connotes perfection). One of those candlesticks looks like Jesus, whom John describes as having white hair, "and his eyes were as a flame of fire. And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters." ". . . In his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword." Powerful, dramatic imagery! And when John falls down as if dead before him, Jesus says, "Fear not, because I am the First and the Last." In other words, he'll protect the Righteous. He also interprets the vision's symbolism for us: the seven stars are the seven angels, and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches of Asia Minor. Apocalyptic literature usually features symbols, numbers, colors.
9/9/26: There are 22 chapters in the book, and I have read slowly (with a little help from a Biblical commentary) by today through 8 of them. In these chapters six of the seals get opened, the first seal revealing a white horse, the second a red horse and they are both given swords to kill each other (?! A call for the righteous--white-- to slay the unrighteous--red-- just a prelude to the greater violence to come). Third seal, a black horse, then fourth, Death, then “the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God” to use Death to kill in Vengeance. The sixth seal is an Earthquake, (we’re seeing more of them today!), the sun becomes black (Hail Mary predicts dimming sun!), the moon became blood (seen each year as a portent to some), stars fall to Earth, mountains and islands move (sea levels rising, glaciers melting), the wrath of the Lamb (of God, or Jesus) is upon us.
The point here in these chapters is to separate out the wheat from that chaff, the believers from the non-believers.. The “chaff” here include those who worship false gods, liars, imposter apostles of God, frauds [47 praying with evangelicals holding an upside down Bible is my image here. While starving the poor, bilking the country, creating graven images--golden statues--of himself for us to worship]. And “the devil shall cast some of you into prison.” [One can only hope]. But the set up is classic Old Testament, to punish, kill the unfaithful, vs. the forgiving New Testament Jesus: “he shall rule them with a rod of iron.”
But not on everyone will feel this wrath, because “an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel,” marked by a seal on their foreheads, get the Golden Ticket, the ultimate protection from judgement: “They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat” (Good for them in the increasing heat waves, but a serious thread of Christian Nationalism focuses on The Chosen 140K survivors, and billionaire Christians seem to be building silos and bunkers to survive this Apocalypse!)
Chapter 4 shows us a powerful image of a throne in Heaven where sits, we presume, God, surrounded by 24 white-haired elders, with crowns, thunder and lightning, and four Beasts including Lion, Calf, Man?, Eagle (US national bird?!). Operatic backdrop for The Final Battle, which is not really a battle at all; more like a slaughter!
Chapter eight: Who can open the book with the seven seals? No man, but the Lion can and there’s now a slain Lamb with seven eyes and horns, and the elders with harps and vials filled with odors sing to the slain Lamb, “behold the lamb of God slain for us that we might be saved. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, riches, and wisdom. . . [cf., Handel’s Messiah).
9/10/26: Chapters 9-22. The ninth chapter features the opening of the Seventh (and last, seven signifying perfection) Seal (the turning point in this depiction of the End of the World) (cf, The Seventh Seal, an Ingmar Bergman film about how many people thought the Second Coming and the Apocalypse were happening during the Great Plague during the Middle Ages): “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” Then lots of seven things appear: Angels, trumpets, followed by “a great star fell from heaven called Wormwood, then“a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea,” with ⅓ sea creatures dead, ” and ⅓ of the sun, moon and stars are dimmed, followed by hail and fire that destroy ⅓ of the trees and animals [cf., Sixth Extinction; increased heat from climate change. It’s hard, as an environmentalist, not to see the Earth’s climate disaster as End Times, though interpreted somewhat differently as to cause). Then the 140k+ Chosen Ones get to not only kill the unchosen but torture them for months first! “In those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it,” cruel revenge for not being loyal to (the vengeful) God.
Nightmare scenarios abound as the Earth as we know it is piece by piece destroyed for all of its sins: “The shapes of the locusts are like unto horses,” with faces of the chosen men and women. Four angels with fire coming out of their mouths kill ⅓ of all remaining unchosen humans! (cf., Angel Down, by Daniel Kraus, where the angel coming down is not a good sign. Now I get it, Daniel!). A cinematic scene: “their dead bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city.” All cities eventually get destroyed, but don’t get smug, farmers, because the countryside is burned up, too, after that! Everything must go!
It’s not all bad news, though: “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” But then a dragon comes down, that is eventually slain but not before it unleashes a sea serpent. The dragon, the serpent, it’s all Satan, all of the time. Six hundred threescore and six: 666, the number of the Beast.
Not sure what Natalie Harp can do with all these dramatic scenarios in late night AI distractions from the Epstein files, but she’s young and inventive, I’m sure she’ll come up with something colorful for 47 to post! Such as the Sea (thanks to that serpent) turning to blood and everything within it dies, (all of the Commies and antifa!). All fresh water turns to blood. (16:4–7). The Sun scorches the Earth with intense heat and even burns some people with fire. (16:8–9). Preparations are made for the final battle at Armageddon between the forces of Good and Evil. (16:12–16) "Every island fled away and the mountains were not found." (16:17–21) [cf., sea-level rise, glacier melt and collapse].
In the end the Earth as we know is razed and a New Jerusalem is eventually (after a thousand years) created. John promises that the Second Coming is "imminent," so we can look forward to that if we are of The Chosen 140K, who get beamed up to Heaven. Cue Handel: “King of kings, and Lord of lords, and he shall reign forever and forever.”
“He which testifieth these things [that would be John, speaking the words of Jesus Christ] saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” I love some of the poetic writing, of course. My overall view of this is that it feels more like the return of the Old Testament God of Wrath rather than the more forgiving Jesus Christ of the New Testament. A God of Vengeance [which fits 47’s character; smite mine enemies] and Wrath, except for the Chosen Few. This text may be a key text in Christian Natiinalist circles; other Christians may hold other texts as more central. Other religions certainly have other ideas, as will atheists, scientists, others.

Numbers is always hard for me to get thru. All the names and genealogies. All the soldier counts and laws. It's a lot. But it's God's word and I will keep reading and trying to understand... over and over.
