ELIJAH


Matthew 17: 11-12 And he answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;

Malachi 4: 4-6 Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse.

THE PEG

Isaiah 22: 20-25 Then it will come about in that day, that I will summon my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah and I will clothe him with your tunic and tie your sash securely about him, I will entrust him with your authority, and he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens no one will shut, when he shuts no one will open. And I will drive him like a peg in a firm place, and he will become a throne of glory to his father's house. So they will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, offspring and issue, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars. In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, the peg driven in a firm place will give way; it will even break off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has spoken.

Red Dragon and Guilt Sacrifice


REVELATIONS 12: a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.

REVELATIONS 12: And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven, and threw them to the earth.

REVELATIONS 12: And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.

REVELATIONS 12: And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

REVELATIONS 11: And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them.

Isaiah 53: If he would render himself as a guilt offering, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in his hand

Isaiah 53: Because he poured himself out to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he himself bore the sin of many and interceded for the transgressors.

REVELATIONS 11: And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

REVELATIONS 11: And those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

Zechariah 12: And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born. In that day there will be great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo."

REVELATIONS 11: And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

REVELATIONS 11: And after the three and a half days the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were beholding them.

REVELATIONS 12: "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even to death.

REVELATIONS 12: Woe to the earth and the sea; because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time."

REVELATIONS 11: And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.

Isaiah 11:10 Then it will come about in that day that the nations will resort to the root of Jesse, who will stand as a signal for the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.

2 KINGS 2,11: behold there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of Fire; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.

REVELATIONS 11: And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; and seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

This is the end of Act 2.

Jesus gave us forgiveness of sins which forgives violations against law and God. The Guilt sacrifice is more about forgiving oneself, and less about forgiveness by others or by God for breaking the rules. An example, might be a woman having an abortion which is socially acceptable; forgiveness. However, as time goes by she may feel guilt and regret, and become unable to totally forgive herself, even though nobody else feels that way about her. The guilt sacrifice was designed to create a way for people to self forgive and move on and learn.

The death of the two witnesses creates mixed reactions, with many only realizing what they lost, only after they lose it. But one needed to accept it and not feel guilty. After the guilt sacrifice, the Servant is gone and world then starts to change, as order becomes more and more chaotic in Act 3 ; The Transgression.

This leads to people doing things they are not proud of, with the guilt sacrifice allowing a way to move forward until the end. But the guilt sacrifice will be used in another way, as a means to make people cruel without regret leading to the worse of all transgressions.

Part Three
The Transgression and the AntiChrist


THE TRANSGRESSION


REVELATIONS 8: And the third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

DANIEL 8: "How long will the vision about the regular sacrifice apply, while the transgression causes horror, so as to allow both the holy place and the host to be trampled?"

DANIEL 8: "For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be properly restored."

DANIEL 11: Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, he will arouse the whole empire against the realm of Greece.

THE RAM

DANIEL 8: Then I lifted my gaze and looked, and behold a ram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the longer one coming up last.

DANIEL 8: I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him, nor was there anyone to rescue from his power; but he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

DANIEL 8: "The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.

DANIEL 10: I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose waist was girded with a belt of pure gold of Uphaz.

DANIEL 10: "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

DANIEL 10: "However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.

THE GOAT

DANIEL 10: Then he said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come.

DANIEL 8: a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes.

DANIEL 8: And he came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing in front of the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty wrath.

DANIEL 8: And I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.

DANIEL 8: Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.

DANIEL 8: "And the shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

DANIEL 7: like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

DANIEL 11: "And a mighty king will arise, and he will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.

DANIEL 8: "And the broken horn and the four horns that arose in its place represent four kingdoms which will arise from his nation, although not with his power.

DANIEL 11: "But as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four points of the compass, though not to his own descendants, nor according to his authority which he wielded; for his sovereignty will be uprooted and given to others besides them.

THE FOUR KINGDOMS

DANIEL 11: "Then the king of the South will grow strong, along with one of his princes who will gain ascendancy over him and obtain dominion; his domain will be a great dominion indeed.

DANIEL 11: "And after some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to carry out a peaceful arrangement. But she will not retain her position of power, nor will he remain with his power, but she will be given up, along with those who brought her in, and the one who sired her, as well as he who supported her in those things.

DANIEL 11: "But one of the descendants of her line will arise in his place, and he will come against their army and enter the fortress of the king of the North, and he will deal with them and display great strength.

DANIEL 11: "And also their gods with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold he will take into captivity to Egypt, and he on his part will refrain from attacking the king of the North for some years.

DANIEL 11: "Then the latter will enter the realm of the king of the South, but will return to his own land.

DANIEL 11: "And his sons will mobilize and assemble a multitude of great forces; and one of them will keep on coming and overflow and pass through, that he may again wage war up to his very fortress.

DANIEL 11: "And the king of the South will be enraged and go forth to fight with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be given into the hand of the former.

DANIEL 11: "When the multitude is carried away, his heart will be lifted up, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall; yet he will not prevail.

DANIEL 11: "For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and after an interval of some years he will press on with a great army and much equipment.

DANIEL 11: "Now in those times many will rise up against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they will fall down.

DANIEL 11: "Then the king of the North will come, cast up a siege mound, and capture a well-fortified city; and the forces of the South will not stand their ground, not even their choicest troops, for there will be no strength to make a stand.

DANIEL 11: "But he who comes against him will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand him; he will also stay for a time in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.

DANIEL 11: "And he will set his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, bringing with him a proposal of peace which he will put into effect; he will also give him the daughter of women to ruin it. But she will not take ·a stand for him or be on his side.

DANIEL 11: "Then he will turn his face to the coastlands and capture many. But a commander will put a stop to his scorn against him, moreover, he will repay him for his scorn.

DANIEL 11: "So he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and be found no more.

DANIEL 11: "Then in his place one will arise who will send an oppressor through the Jewel of his kingdom; yet within a few days he will be shattered, though neither in anger nor in battle.

DANIEL 11: "And in his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

THE BEAST OF THE SEA

The Four Horsemen each have a color and a weapon, which helps to integrate similar symbols; puzzle pieces.
In astrology the horseman associates with Sagittarius. In Zechariah 1 the horsemen walk to and fro, which relates both to the Satan of the book of Job and to running to and fro in Daniel 12:4.

zodiac_cross.jpg


Pisces associates with the great fish of the sign of Jonah and Virgo associates with the story of the virgin birth. Gemini relates to the twins Jacob and Esau, with Jacob being astrologically connected to the gospels by Balaam's vision and Michael Molnar's solution for the star of Bethlehem.

I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
Numbers 24:17

My approach was based on the warming or hint in Revelations, not to add or take away anything. Most approaches to prophesy add words to associate a symbol with an historical event. Or other address a few key things, leaving out many other symbols and quotes. My approach was to hi-lite the Bible like a textbook of any quote I could find about Prophesy. I did only one pass over about a week. I had a girl type these into my 1980's computer; no modern internet back then. I printed them with my 110 words per minuete impact printer, and cut the pages into quotes size piece, like a new jig saw puzzle. I had to assemble about 1000 quotes, like a puzzle, with no words of my own.

To help me assemble the pieces, I took more of a psychological approach to the symbolism, based on my knowledge of symbols of the collective unconscious; Carl Jung. Revelations, where the hnit was, came after Jesus. The Christian sign of the cross has four branches. Based on four, I noticed there were the three main groupings of four; four horsemen, the four Living creature around the throne of God, and the four beasts of Daniel. I superimpose them; 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, etc.. These were all talking about the same thing but with different nuance. The colors, weapons, animal type for each horseman, plus the beasts of Daniel and the Alter and whatever other detail.

For example, the first horseman is white, has a bow and arrow and a crown on his head. The first beast of Daniel is a Lion with wings of an eagle. The first beast around the throne of God is also a lion. The whitehorse is a lion, or rather he is a white lion which is symbolic of wisdom; Divine Woman is a symbol of wisdom. She is given the wings of an eagle, after Satan tries to get her and her unborn child. She gives birth, and excapes with wings of an eagle. Daniel waits until her wings are clipped and the lion is made to stand on two feet as a man and a human mind is given to the lion. The white lion with eagle wings is the female side of a man; his anima or wisdom. This changes to a white lion, without wings; man with a human mind. His bow and arrow is his intellect. An arrow is 1-D; data and conclsions. After a growing process to gain wisdom, there is a psychic pregnancy, then potenial for actuality; caught up to the throne.

The man and the horse are both aspect of the same person. The horse is like our natural animal side, while the man is more connected to the ego. For example, if you tried to jump off a bridge, your instinct or inner horse might hesitate or resist making it harder to jump based on will and choice. While other times, if you are doing something you like, based on your natural ability, your horse or animal side will charge with you into the battle of sports. The horse is what makes those impossible plays in sports look easy. The ego takes the credit. The white horseman loves his quest and his golden crown is like a gold ring on his head; married to God; Servant following orders is 1-D.

Once I profiled these four symbolic groupings, I added flesh to the bones until I used all the part I hi lighted. The profiling made it easier to know what each horseman was like, allowing me to find all the pieice that fit that character block. The first two horseman were easy but the third and fouth were not as clear cut, maybe because I was getting sucked iinto the action; active imagination.

And he threw her down into the middle of the Ephah and cast the lead weight on its opening. Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the Ephah between the earth and the heavens. And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, "Where are they taking the Ephah?" Then he said to me, "To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal."

Isaiah 14: 29-30 Do not rejoice, 0 Philistine, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken, for from the serpent's root a viper will come out, and its fruit will be a flying serpent. And those who are most helpless will eat, and the needy will lie down in security; I will destroy your root with famine, and it will kill off your survivors.

Thessalonians 2: 9-12 That is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

Habakkuk 2: 4-5 behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him; but the righteous will live by his faith. Furthermore, wine betrays the haughty man, so that he does not stay at home.

DANIEL 11: "And the overflowing forces will be flooded away before him and shattered, and also the prince of the covenant.

DANIEL 11:"And forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the abomination of desolation.

Hosea 3: 3-5 Then I said to her, "You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you." For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or household idols. Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the Lord and to His goodness in the last days.

REVELATIONS 9: And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him.

REVELATIONS 7: And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel;

REVELATIONS 7: from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.

REVELATIONS 9: And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment for five months; and their torment was like a scorpion when it stings a man.

Isaiah 13: 4-5 A sound of tumult on the mountains, like that of many people! A sound of the uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathered together! The Lord of hosts is mustering the army for battle. They are coming from a far country from the farthest horizons, the Lord and his instruments of indignation, to destroy the whole land.

REVELATIONS 9: And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die and death flees from them.

Habakkuk 1: 6-11 For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that fierce and impetuous people who march throughout the earth to seize dwelling places which are not theirs. They are dreaded and feared. Their justice and authority originate with themselves. Their horses are swifter than leopards and keener than wolves in the evening. Their horsemen come galloping, their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle swooping down to devour. All of them come for violence. Their horde of faces moves forward. They collect captives like sand. They mock at kings, and rulers are a laughing matter to them. They laugh at every fortress, and heap up rubble to capture it. Then they will sweep through like the wind and pass on. But they will be held guilty, they whose strength is their god.

REVELATIONS 9: They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew of Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon.

Isaiah 24~ 3-6 The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the Lord has spoken this word. The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away. The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant. Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.

Mystery Babylon
Revelation 17: One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”

Revelations 17: Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness.There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery; Babylon the great the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth.

Revelations 17: I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7 Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.

Revelations 17: “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

Revelations 17: “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as king along with the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled. 18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”

THE FALL OF BABYLON

REVELATIONS 18: Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! And she has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.

REVELATIONS 18:"For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality."

REVELATIONS 18:"Come out of her, my people, that you may not participate in her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues;

REVELATIONS 18: "To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.' "For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.

REVELATIONS 18: "And the kings of the earth, who committed acts of immorality and lived sensuously with her, will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning,

REVELATIONS 18: "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more;

REVELATIONS 18:"And the fruit you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and men will no longer find them.

REVELATIONS 18: Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!

REVELATIONS 18:"Thus will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer.

REVELATIONS 18:for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.

REVELATIONS 18:"And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and all who have been slain on the earth."

Joel 1: 19-20 To thee, 0 Lord, I cry; for fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned up all the trees of the field. Even the beasts of the filed pant for thee; for the water brooks are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

Joel 2: 25 Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust, my great army which I sent among you.


THE BLACK HORSEMAN

REVELATIONS 13: And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead,

REVELATIONS 13: and he provides that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

REVELATIONS 6: And when He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come." And I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

REVELATIONS 6: And I heard as it were a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."

DANIEL 8: "And through his shrewdness he will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human agency.

DANIEL 11:"Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and will speak monstrous things against the God of gods; and he will prosper until the indignation is finished,

DANIEL 11: "And he will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all.

DANIEL 11: "But instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, costly stones, and treasures.

DANIEL 11: "And he will take action against the strongest of fortresses with the help of a foreign god; he will give great honor to those who acknowledge him, and he will cause them to rule over the many, and will parcel out land for a price.

REVELATIONS 13: Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred sixty-six.

DANIEL 7: And he will speak out against the most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

The Whore of Babylon is a symbol. She is not a person or place per se. The analogy of her being bejeweled but also a whore, makes what she represents, easier to see. A loving married couple will have sex as an open expressive of their love, and even their instincts to procreate and have children. But this type of love connection takes work and needs to be sincere to work over the long term.

A prostitute or whore, allows for the same end result of smiling sex, but all you need is money. One does not have to nice, loving, honest, dedicated, trustworthy, etc. All you have to do is lay down some money. It is a short cut to natural and spiritual living, based on money, power, prestige, celebrity, etc., any of which can afford you anything, even if one is not worthy in a natural or spiritual sense.

It is not so much the fault of money, but rather money is a universal form of exchange of value that subjective value attachment allows this illusion to appear real. She is adorned with fine silks and precious stones to enhance her appeal beyond natural and real. The prestige of her designer materialism enhance her worth, while not changing anything inside. There is an illusionary effect that even marvels John. John does not get it at first. He has to be told how she is drunk with the blood of the Saints. She is not very nice but looks so beautiful. It is caught up on the surface and fails to see the rotten inside.

One of the question often asked is why does God allow suffering. The whore effect plays a large part. Through history, people invade other counties, or rob them in the streets, to get their gold and treasures. Although they commit such atrocities, once they got the coin, they can use it to enforce their will, with the prestige of money and power. One may dress themself with fine robes and gold to look like a legitimate king; pimp. Money can also buy power via politicians, who are like mercenaries and whores. You pay and they will give you what you want; new loophole. This was even a big problem in the Church.

Celebrity is based on various subjective standards, like a good song. This opens the door the same way. The prestige of that one song can make them an expert in climate, without any formal training. This magical illusion; whore, is the opposite of natural and spirituality. When the Scarlet Beast, which the Whore Babylon rides upon, turns on her, this illusion dynamics suddenly falls apart. Nobody expected it to ever end.

The Anti-Christ, at first makes use of this prestige effect to rise to power; intrigue illusions, while also giving away wealth to buy friend and allies. Give them bling to feel important. But once in power he break the illusion of the whore, as the beast burns the whore with fire; Abomination of Desolation and locust from the pit. The merchants of the world mourn, since nobody buys their cargos, anymore, since the needs of wealth are gone. The Blackhorse then controls the food supply and the simple things that are real; grain and new wine. Money, prestige, power, celebrity are gone. He is fully in control and ready to become god. Those who only know the prestige effect of he whore will be easy for him to control. Those who are natural and spiritual; real, will resist.
