Comments: Revelation 16
* verse
2: - blood as of the dead
As in a state of lividity - the separation of a clear to pinkish Plasma (near 0% up to a 10% Solutes in near 100% to as little as 90% water), the watery plasma rises as the red blood cells settles. The water or
watery plasma solution in this dead state is normally floating above a thin layer of Leukocytes (white blood cells) and Thrombocytes (platelets), which in turn are
above the gravitated / very dense and high reddish solution of Erythrocytes (red blood cells).
The discoloration may possibly appear to be as if the Sea were to behave as the blood of the dead, in which the currents cease and the
waters stop, and from at the first appears as if were black and blue mixed in
with the greater red volume,, before the bloody Sea settles in its stillness into a
watery solution floating atop the crimson depths.
** verse
15 - outer garment - clothing - mantle / cloak:
refers back to Isaiah 59:17, where a believer's "zeal" or
"doing the
will of GOD and maintaining his honor,
especially including state in which one is provoked with
the passions of jealousy and envy to the point of violence"
is
as the mantle / cloak of their spiritual armor in the LORD.
*** verse 20 - And every island hastily escaped and fled:
Disappeared
beneath the waves, receded into the Earth,
ceasing their mountainous elevation above the waves...as
is apparent by the next part of the verse ... and mountains / hills
certainly not were found by any search or inquiry.

Comments: Revelation 17
*
verse 2 - This verse effectually defines who and what the Harlot
is. The Harlot is a lumping together of all those who have worshiped and
served any religion, ideology, belief, business, government, institution, or
what have you, that was to the detriment and expense of believing into Jesus
Christ as LORD and Savior (including His pre-incarnate state as Creator - GOD
of Israel in those relevant time periods) in return for wealth/gain and a
permanent dwelling structure. She is Mamonism, a worship of material gain and
wealth as the focus of existence, worth of self or others, and of
worship.
**
verse 4 - The cup of filth is that associated with filthy acts ingested
by those who commit oral sex upon the anus, phallus or vagina. The
cup would be filled with feces and/or diarrhea, urine, semen and sperm,
clear - urine- bloody fluxes, and possibly vomit thrown in for good
measure. Remember, abomination is something that is viewed as
truly abhorrent and disgusting, as well as foul smelling and meant to fully
rejected.
*** verse
6 - She was very likely by at least the outward appearance exceedingly fit /
firm, beautiful face and figure, and voluptuous - large and well shaped
breasted, unseen in John's day and only in recent decades in ours. She
was so fascinating a figure, that John not only marveled, but looked upon with
great pleasure and admiration to the point that he was likely just about to
lust with his eyes before the Angel interrupted and perhaps instantly sobered
him up.
**** verse
8 - This verse suggests that the knowledge of destiny of each individual
through the ages was not known since Adam and Eve, as is generally thought in
modern Christianity, a destiny from the foundation of the World, such as when
the "world" is synonymously assumed to be the Earth itself.
Rather, the verse clearly teaches us from the Greek that we are instead to look
to from the Casting or Laying down of the World System found in the worship of
wealth or Mamon...we are to look to our ancestors after the Noachian Flood, at
the Tower of Babel.
Genesis
11 (King James version - KJV)
1And
the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2And
it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in
the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3And
they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.
And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4And
they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto
heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of
the whole earth.
5And
the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the
children of men builded.
6And
the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and
this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they
have imagined to do.
7Go
to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.
8So
the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and
they left off to build the city.
9Therefore
is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the
language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad
upon the face of all the earth.
When GOD came down and visited and dispersed our ancestors at the
Tower of Babel, it was then that GOD in his Omniscience looked into the hearts
and souls of each human there, and saw each and every one of us down through
history, and chose us before we were born. The question is, will you of
your own free will answer the call to be chosen and born from above / born
again, or go away into perdition, the destruction that must result from
experiencing the second death if you choose unwisely to reject the loving
Savior, Jesus Christ, who with the Father calls to whosoever will to freely
come fully welcome and without reservation or hesitation to be loved and
accepted as set apart with a sincere and repentant heart and willingness to be
saved.

verse 15 (cf. v. 18) - There is no doubt in my mind that in the
Aleitheia, the true reality, that this Harlot is specifically to be identified
as lastly sitting upon and manifesting the waters/ peoples of the United States
of America. America sees this harlotry spiritually through its
uncontrollable grip to the forces of Secular Materialism and Leftist
Liberalism, especially in the last 4 years (2008 to present / i.e. 2012).
In verse 18, we see that the kingdom of the peoples that make up these
United States become the harlot in a living spiritual form.
Those who are born from above, or born again in Jesus Christ, do not suffer the
second death. They / we become the chaste virgin, the bride of the LORD
Jesus Christ as an entire people. However the distinction is this, the
bride of Christ subsumes all the living spirits of believers both in this body
now and those who have been taken to paradise of Heaven, believers now living
(2 Corinthians 5:1-8) going back to our first father Adam and our first mother
Eve, those who have properly believed into the Creator, YHVeH Messiah - the
LORD Christ (Lamentations 4:20, Genesis 2:7, John 14:6, John 3:15-16, et al.),
while the post-Noachian flood city of Babel created Harlot lives in a perpetual
state of the physical dead ones who have not even died a first time, and who
must also die a second time as well...first the body must die, then the
soul/spirit when it is cast with death and hell into the Lake of Fire, as we
shall see in chapter 20, verses 6 and 14, etc.
