John the Revelator
Put him in a elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God as his only rock
He's stealing a god from the Israelite
Stealing a god from a Muslim, too
There is only one god through and through
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye

"The Devil is not the Prince of Matter; the Devil is the arrogance of the spirit, faith without smile, truth that is never seized by doubt. The Devil is grim because he knows where he is going, and, in moving, he always returns whence he came."
Anyone interested in the imagery present in the book of Revelation might want to read "The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered" by Robert Eisenman & Michael Wise. A ton of the imagery and language used in Revelation is also present in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and is specific to the radical Essene, Nazarene and Zadokite communities of first century Judaism. Reading Revelation without any background in first century Jewish apocalyptic literature is like trying to read hieroglyphs without the Rosetta Stone.
P.S. Revelation is commonly credited to John the Evangelist, not the unnamed "beloved" disciple associated with the Gospel of John.
Yo Memoryman, are you my cousin or somethin???
haha, probably.
Mangani, you ever read "James, The Brother Of Jesus" by Robert Eisenman?
The beast with Seven Heads is metaphorical for the Roman Empire, European Union, etc. Possibly even the Vatican / Illuminati.
The last Chapter of Daniel, 12 (the number of Completion) tells mostly of the Times before the Final Judgement.
Daniel speaks of the Second Coming of Christ some 500 years before Jesus' birth. The Sword he holds is the Sword of Truth, the Word of God that all men and women will hear to either accept of reject.
The whole idea that the world is going to end, in my opinion, is bad idea to promote.
It helps the metality that: oh fuck the world is gonna end anyways why should I care.
We should be concerned for our children, our childrens chidlren and so forth. The world will conitinue on in the world we left for them and they will be forced to live with our mistakes.
