How Revelation reveals Europe in end time prophecy Before I went on my holiday to Kos, Greece in October 2005, my dad asked me to keep him any Euros that I didn't spend. While I was shopping I happened to come across some Euros, and looking at the picture below you may understand the reason why my dad was so interested in getting his hands on one.
The picture on the back of the Greek €2 coin is that of the Goddess Europa, who according to Greek mythology, rode on the back of a bull. As far as I understand, the bull was actually Zeus in disguise, and in the story he throws Europa off his back and rapes her.
For more images of the Beast in official European literature and coinage, see here.
But what has this got to do with Bible prophecy?
Listen to how the Apostle John describes the identity of the beast, the last world empire…
Revelation 17:3-6
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
On the back of the Greek Euro, we have exactly the same image as the Apostle John describes. A woman, arrayed in purple and scarlet, sitting on a beast, with a cup in her hand. This of course is a symbolic description, but I believe John's description is so vivid, and the characteristics of the woman are so peculiar, that they reveal beyond all doubt, the identity of the woman and the beast she rides.
Many of the descriptions of this beast are already explained for us in the passage…
A seven headed and ten horned beast
Revelation 17:9, 12-13
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth... And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
The ten horns, as the book of Daniel also mentions, are ten kings that will give their power unto the Antichrist during the seven year tribulation period. The city of Rome is also known world wide as being the city that was built on seven hills, the "seat" of the Roman Catholic church.
A friend of mine Sam Jennings wrote a book on Revelation, called Alpha and Omega. He sees the seven heads of the beast as different aspects of the old world empires mentioned in Daniel, all amalgamated together. The seven kings represent the seven world empires that will rule over the kingdom of Israel. Five of these empires are past, one was still ruling in John's day – Rome, and the other has yet to come and will continue a short while – Revived Rome or the European Union.
Revelation 17:7-11
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
And there are seven kings: five are fallen,
(Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medes and Persians, Greeks)
and one is,
(Rome in John's day)
and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
(Revived Rome – Antichrist)
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
(I take it that this refers to when the 10 kings shall give their power unto the Beast, this shall become the eighth world empire, and will really be a form of the seventh head – Rev 17:12).
Revelation 13:1-3
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Regarding the seven heads, all heads would have to exist in our generation in order for one to be wounded, otherwise this would only be a one headed monster. So perhaps the Revived Roman Empire is currently the main head, while the other empires still exist – only in a less substantial way. When this head is wounded and miraculously revived, all people will wonder after the system and the Antichrist. Only in the days of the 10 kings, when Christ returns to set up His Kingdom, will all seven heads be destroyed…
Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Riding on a sea of peoples
Revelation 17:15
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
This last world empire will be a multi-lingual confederacy. No other regional bloc has more diverse languages and cultures than that of Europe. Even the European Parliament building was designed to look like a modern day tower of Babel, where God previously confounded the languages of all men back in Genesis 11:9. Here is the original painting of the tower of Babel, contrasted with an official European Union advertisement – the above painting subtitled with the blasphemous statement of "Many tongues, one voice", and a photograph of the actual design of the EU parliament building.
Europa is decked with purple and scarlet, and holds a golden cup
Revelation 17:4
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
The fact that a woman rides the beast, and not a man, is significant. In the Bible, spiritually adulterous nations seem to always be portrayed as harlots, e.g. Ezekiel 23. The Roman Catholic church's worship and prayers are also directed towards a woman, Mary Queen of Heaven. It was also said that Pope John Paul dedicated Europe, along with his own life, to Mary. And as we will see later, many Catholic depictions of Mary show her adorned with twelve stars, as does our picture of Europa. Both women, Mary and Europa, are also worshipped as Goddesses – perhaps in the case of Mary not in name, but she was recently given the status of co-Redemptrix making her effectively equal with God.
Purple and scarlet just happens to be the colours of the Vatican's priestly garb. And it is estimated that Vatican city contains more wealth and riches than many nations combined. The cup of blood reminds us of the Roman Catholic communion, in which only the priest is permitted to drink from in contradiction of Scripture. And the blood reminds us of transubstantiation, the false belief that the wine in the cup actually becomes the physical blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit adds further emphasis on the blood, revealing that it is also a picture of how the woman has martyred the true saints of God, so much so that she is now become drunk on their blood. One of the most bloodiest times in the Roman Empire was during the time the book of Revelation was written, when literally millions of Christians were killed for entertainment, and sent into the catacombs of Rome with conditions so dank, life expectancy was only around six months.
Fornication here is of course in the spiritual sense. The Roman Catholic church has committed spiritual adultery with the religions of the world. Pope John Paul II possibly did more for the ecumenical movement than any other Pope.
I was forwarded the following information by my friend, John Vermeer, about the cup. A woman, presumably Mary Queen of Heaven, is adorned on many Catholic images holding a cup.
Pope Leo XII had the above medal minted in commemoration of the second year of his reign, the jubilee year of 1825. The back side of the medal reveals a depiction of a woman, sitting on the globe, holding a communion cup, while sitting on the world. The inscription reads SEDET SUPER UNIVERSUM, declaring that her seat of authority is universal, i.e., over the entire globe.
The image is full of Babylonian symbolism. The woman is not Mary at all, but represents Semiramis, the ancient Babylonian Madonna. The rays emanating from her head represent Nimrod, whom the ancient Babylonians believed died, and was transformed into the Sun. Babylonians believed Semiramis was conceived by the Sun, and gave birth to Tamuz, who it was believed was really a reincarnation of Nimrod. The cross depicted on the coin is not a Christian cross, it is really the old Babylonian letter T, which pagans have used for centuries in idol worship of their god Tamuz.
Europa is a great city that rules over kings
Revelation 17:18
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
No other city in the world can make this claim apart from Rome. She has literally ruled over kings by threat and force for centuries (remember William the Conqueror, the Spanish inquisition, the Huguenots, etc), and still desires today to maintain her Holy Roman Empire.
A woman crowned with twelve stars
Revelation 12:1-2
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: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Another woman is mentioned in Revelation. Some say that this other woman represents Israel, and I would be inclined to agree with that viewpoint. This woman is crowned with twelve stars. If you look closely at the Greek Euro, our Europa is also crowned with twelve stars. The European Union flag is also made up of twelve stars on a blue sea. The official EU line is that the twelve stars of the EU flag represents completeness. But in actual fact, you will see Mary Queen of Heaven (not the true Mary) crowned with twelve stars in many Roman Catholic pictures. The twelve star European Union flag shows us that the woman (Roman Catholic church) truly rides the beast of Europe.
The other woman in Revelation, Israel, is crowned with twelve stars with the moon is under her feet. The twelve stars could represent Israel being controlled by the European Union, or more likely representing the twelve tribes of Israel. And the moon is always symbolic of the Messiah in Jewish tradition.
Genesis 49:10
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Possibly the reason why the moon is under the woman's feet is because "between the feet" is the Scriptural description of where offspring find a place of protection from their parents. This is a picture of the promise of God, that the nation of Israel would give birth to the Messiah.
Revelation 12:5
And she brought forth a man child (Jesus Christ), who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Europa is raped by the beast
Revelation 17:16
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Just like the story of Europa, this modern day confederacy will throw the woman off its back and rape her. The modern day Roman Catholic church currently rides the beast of Europe, but when the Antichrist comes to power, this worldly religion will have served its purpose and will be destroyed by the ten kings through God's will.

The E.U. Flag was adopted on Dec.8,1955 by the Council of Europe. Dec.8th is the anniversary of "The Immaculate Conception of Mary". The E.U. Flag is truly a "QUEEN OF HEAVEN" flag.(queen of heaven worship).The bull god raping a woman traces back to "ENLIL RAPING NINLIL" to ancient times,to the area of Babylon. The bull is the king and europa the queen.
March 25,1957 Treaty of Rome is also the date of the pagan HILARIA! It's a LAUGH RIOT with roots deep into BABYLON! Wonders never cease.
Oct.29,2004 is the date of the signing of E.U. Constitution. Oct.29, 539 B.C. is the date attributed to Cyrus entering Babylon. Cyrus the "SUN" King. As for the March 25,1957 TREATY of ROME. March 25 is New Year's Day on the Julian Calendar,Feast of the Annunciation, Lady Day and the HILARIA! Isn't that simply HILARIOUS!!!!!! Who do they think they are fooling? and all the world shall wonder…….
Also we have a power block called the Western European Union that has 10 full members. There is, located in Strasbourg,France a representation an "IMAGE" if you will of the "TOWER OF BABEL". This"IMAGE" is the PARLIAMENT BUILDING OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. The "IMAGE SPEAKS" and the voice is the voice of the "EUROPEAN UNION". Europe: MANY TONGUES ONE VOICE. Thus spake the COUNCIL OF EUROPE as they portrayed their "BABYLONIAN IMAGE". Do you want to go FASTER?
I STRONGLY recommend the book,"THE SEVEN FESTIVALS OF THE MESSIAH" by EDWARD CHUMNEY. It can be read for free online,just search it out and READ IT! That book contains the DIVINE PLAN. This is my final post here.
One last thought. There is only one mediator between God and man! The Messiah, our Lord and Savior said "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh to the Father but by me." The Lord's own testimony eliminates anyone and everyone except himself as SAVIOR and Mediator. Acts 4:11-12 =This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men,whereby we must be saved.Roman Catholic vain repetition is not new and neither is their propensity to fondle their beads amongst other things. So, ring around the rosary has been found by them to be acceptable along with many other things. Talk about strong delusion. I'd be laughing my head off but the whole thing is just PATHETIC and TRAGIC! "Come out of her my people"while you still can.
Ever see someone going in circles fondling beads while repeating a mantra virtually in a hypnotic trance with eyes glazed over staring blankly at a bath tub mary or some other idol?Talk about delusion and being deluded!What do they do for an encore visualize mary in some stain on a wall or a croissant?The pod people are everywhere folks.The agents of the whore will try to confuse you with their theological jargon.With lofty words designed intentionally to make you feel stupid so you will yield to them.With feigned words they make merchandise of you. Deceivers and deceived, blind guides, follow them not. "Come out of her my people" while you still can.
anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
The REV.13 IMAGE(EIKON)is the E.U. TOWER OF BABEL PARLIAMENT BUILDING it SPEAKS with the VOICE of the E.U. The E.U. Tower of Babel is an IMAGE of BABYLON THE HEAD.
There is a lot of breath (PNEUMA) in the parliament of the E.U. providing the image with a voice.
The IMAGE (EIKON)that has life mentioned in Rev.13 is the E.U. Tower of Babel Parliament Building. The PNEUMA of the EIKON is provided by the occupant or occupants located within the IMAGE. The Louise Weiss Building is the official seat of the E.U.Parliament.It's named the Louise Weiss Building and it's located in Strasbourg,France.The Holy See and the E.U. represent the two horns. Each one is represented by one man at the top.
Roman Catholic Priests are actually representatives of a foreign power named the Holy See which is ruled by a POPE also called Pontifex Maximus,Caesar's title. Their allegience to the POPE supersedes that of the government of any country they are operating in.
Have the Roman Priests stopped taking their meds? Is that why so many people have accused them of RAPE? Is that why they are paying all that money out?Maybe they'll all just go back to Rome and dance around Caligula's obelisk, you know the one that Pope Sixtus had centered. Oh, the Pope blessed the big obelisk,I would expect nothing less from a Pope.
Julius Caesar set the date of the New Year as March 25th the vernal equinox,the conception of Mithras the Sun God. 9 months later on Dec.25th ,the Winter Solstice was the birth of Mithras the Sun God.Due to the inaccuracy of the Julian Calendar the dates of the equinox drifted over the centuries.Pope Gregory XIII reset the calendar to a close proximity.The Roman Catholic Church using the lying wonders of syncretism March 25th became the Feast of the Annunciation of Mary and Dec.25th became the birth of Christ. So to all the dupes out there, wake up and smell the coffee. I think now we are all getting a better idea as to why there is an obelisk from Heliopolis(Sun City) Egypt right in the center of the Circus Vaticanus. Caligula built the Circus Vaticanus and erected the obelisk there.That very same circus is associated with the sexual orgies of Nero. Nero fashioned himself as the Sun God.The big,red, hard ,erect , granite obelisk was moved to the FRONT and CENTER of the Basilica of St.Peter by Pope Sixtus V. The Mother Church,a real FEMME FATALE. This lying Whore is connected with the E.U. The Holy See and the E.U. The Queen of Heaven and the Tower of Babel. Arsene Heitz the designer of the E.U. Flag got his inspiration from Rev.12:1 the woman crowned with 12 stars. The Flag was adopted on Dec.8,1955. Dec.8th is the Immaculate Conception of Mary according to those liars in Rome. This Queen of Heaven Flag is the flag of the E.U. The seat of the Parliament of the E.U. is a Babylonian EIKON of the Tower of Babel. it is named the Louise Weiss Building and it's located in Strasbourg,France. The two horns of Rev.13 are the HOLY SEE and the E.U. The LIFE of the IMAGE mentioned in Rev.13 is the E.U. Parliament or one man speaking from inside the Tower of Babel. MYSTERY, BABYLON the GREAT,the MOTHER of HARLOTS and ABOMINATIONS of the EARTH is right out in the open for all to see! Those Roman Priests really love it ,BIG, RED and HARD ,FULLY ERECTED, you know that obelisk CALIGULA brought up and NERO so adored. I'm sure they enjoy themselves there on PALM SUNDAY right in the center ring of the CIRCUS VATICANUS.
Lets get scriptural and throw out the EU/Revived Rome idea. Simply ask yourself how 1300+ years of Islamic domination of the land of Israel fits? Islam is the feet and toes of the Daniel chpt2 statue. The nwo/eu distraction will leave many greatly shaken when Islam is fully revived. Turn back to all the Maker's Instructions for health/life. The book Eurabia uncovers the submission europe has to Arabia/Islam. If not try this test….print two t-shirts, one with Bush or Prodi is evil and the second with Mohamed is evil…..wear them in the street and find which one gets the strongest reaction 🙂
Islam is the antithesis of so called christianity.The polarization between what is being passed off as islam and what is being passed off as christianity is just a part of a satanic dialectical weapon. Satan is at each pole and everywhere in between.The unlearned place themselves at one of the poles or somewhere in between. By doing so they have placed themselves in a DEVICE forecast by SATAN that assures DESTRUCTION.People have unwittingly placed themselves within the parameters set by Satan.Satan is using that device to gather the nations up.The nations are being gathered up for the GREAT DAY OF THE LORD.The land of ISRAEL is where the Lord will return and more specifically JERUSALEM.Witness as Satan continues to manipulate the entire world .The rulers of this world are blind.This gathering up process is underway NOW! Satan is manipulating humanity against the Lord. Humanity has succumbed to the wiles of Satan.They have turned away from the Lord. Now,they are being gathered together for the SLAUGHTER. SATAN is cruelly manipulating humanity. Satan will provide what appears to be a solution to the problem he has created using his device.The nature of the dialectical device allows SATAN to provide the solution to the problem he created.The outcome using the dialectal device is COMPROMISE!There will be an agreement and everyone will relax.When they say peace,peace then destruction will come upon them SUDDENLY.Humanity is being SET UP,Satan has deceived the entire world. WAKE UP! Ezekiel 38 and 39 , take a good long look.
With all lying wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible even the elect of God should be deceived. This is a very serious situation. The stakes can't get any higher.Everyone that wants to live better sober up fast.I see a lot of real slick goings on. When Israel became a nation again that was the sign that we are in the last days.Certain powers in Europe tried to dominate the WORLD but lost.This is known as WORLD WAR 2. Satan tried to destroy Israel but Israel survived the holocaust of WORLD WAR 2.The Lord has called Israel from the nations from which they were scattered.The Lord has returned them to the Land of Israel.Look at Israel in the light of Bible prophecy.Pharoah, kills firstborn but fails, result, Moses and the delivery of Israel from Egyptian bondage and into the Land of Israel.Herod, kills firstborn but fails,result,The Messiah and the redemption of mankind as accomplished by His death,burial and resurrection.Hitler,tries to kill the entire house of Israel but fails,result,The Nation of Israel. Does anyone notice a pattern ?I can tell you what the next Satanic attempt will bring.THE RETURN OF THE LORD! Bible prophecy is being fulfilled and the satanic deception is very thick,be very careful.
There is a discussion between certain powers.These certain powers are trying to reach an agreement that they hope will be a solution to the crisis in the Land of Israel. Certain of these powers hold open the possibility of a TWO STATE SOLUTION as being part of what they hope to be a comprehensive agreement. Proverbs 16:25 "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,but the end thereof are the ways of death." Who is he that would direct a man in a way that seemeth right unto him all the while knowing full well the end thereof are the ways of DEATH? Satan is manipulating mankind using certain powers,techniques and weapons that mankind seemingly is unaware of. Won't they be surprised in THE END.
I have made an adjustment. The beast with the two horns of Revelation chapter 13 is the Holy See and the state of Vatican City. They are separate and sovereign entities each with the Pope as head of state. The image of Revelation 13 is the European Union.
Definitely off his meds….
Irwin, read some NON-FICTION sometime and enrich your mind instead of relying exclusively on narrow, dogmatic, embellished sources from 1,800 years ago for your information.
Open your eyes…for there is none so blind as he who will not see…
Josef Ratzinger avoided testimony in a sex scandal case by way of DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY because he is the Head of State of TWO FOREIGN POWERS. He was made POPE and now he goes by the name Pope Benedict XVl(alias). He is the Head of State of the Holy See. He is the Head of State of the State of Vatican City.Do you see that or are YOU blind? They are BOTH FOREIGN POWERS. The Pope is the Beast with two horns of Rev.13 and the horns are 1. The Holy See and 2. The State of Vatican City . Do you see that or are YOU blind?The EUROPEAN UNION is the IMAGE of Rev.13.Do you see that or are YOU blind? Do you see the GLOBAL SEX SCANDAL of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH or are YOU blind? Do you see the European Union? Gregorian Calendar, Jan.1, New Years Day, brought to the world by POPE GREGORY Xlll. Those Priests of the Holy See (ROMAN catholic priests) obey their master and ruler the POPE (FOREIGN POWER). They have infected the U.S.A. and much of the rest of the world with their sickness and perversion, lies ,heresy, and blasphemies.
The Holy See is a separate sovereign entity with a Head of State, the POPE. The State of Vatican City is a separate sovereign entity with a Head of State, the Pope. Those are established facts according to international law. The two SEPARATE entities are the horns of the beast with two horns of Revelation 13. That makes the POPE the beast with two horns. The beast with two horns and the whore that sits on the city with seven hills(ROME) are one and the same. There is absolutely no doubt about it. The European Union is the IMAGE that the beast with two horns causes the people to make. There is valid evidence to support my belief. People prove over and over that denial just ain't a river in Egypt. RUNNING away from the truth is not going to change it. OH YEAH, it's ALL REAL! It's happening right under your nose! If you can't see it then you are blind or should I say blinded. Even that is written,"and all the world shall wonder when they behold the beast that was and is not yet is WHOSE NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN in the Lamb's Book of Life." After much investigation I have arrived at certain conclusions. The Lord is REAL! The Holy Bible is TRUE! It is very LATE. A VAST majority of people are totally clueless as to what is going on right under their noses. I didn't ask for things to be the way they are but that's the way it is. I will not shrink back or turn away and I certainly will not go into a state of denial. It's ON and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, says or does.That which is written will come to pass, end of story! I will press forward with the knowledge that the Lord is in control. The Lord saw all this from before the foundation of the world. The Lord warned us that these things would happen.
There is the Whore/Queen that sits on the city of seven hills, ROME. That Whore /Queen is sitting upon a beast with two horns. 1. The Holy See and 2. The State of Vatican City. The Image of Rev.13 that the beast with two horns causes the people to make is the EUROPEAN UNION(Union of EUROPA). It (the image) is also represented by a Whore/Queen sitting upon a beast with two horns, EUROPA . The continent of Europe is named after EUROPA. The "Rape of Europa" is the main symbol of the European Union (Union of Europa). THERE IT IS. The image speaks from the TOWER OF BABEL.
The beast with the seven heads ten horns and ten crowns , the beast with two horns and the image exist and operate at the same time for a certain length of time. The beast with two horns causes the people to make an image of the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns in its presence. THAT MEANS THREE SEPARATE ENTITIES EXIST AT THE SAME TIME. 1.The W.E.U. 10 full member alliance (10 toes,Dan.). 2.The Pope, the beast with two horns(1.The Holy See and 2.The State of Vatican City) 3. The IMAGE(Rev.13)which is the ENTIRE E.U. The Beast with two horns "causes" the people to make or create the image. The belief of the beast with two horns and the people establish the causal (cause) relationship between the beast with two horns and the people and this is proven with the creation of the EUROPEAN UNION (image Rev.13). Here is the PROOF. The belief that the woman with the crown of 12 stars of Rev.12:1 is Mary is proven by the adoption date of the current E.U. flag by the Council of Europe on Dec.8,1955. Dec.8 is the anniversary of the so called Immaculate CONCEPTION of Mary. The BIRTH of the E.U. on March 25,1957 with the signing of the Treaty of ROME. March 25 is the so called anniversary of the ANNUNCIATION of the BIRTH of the Lord.This is the date the POPE says the angel told Mary she would give BIRTH to the Lord. So, March 25,1957 is the Annunciation of the BIRTH of the EUROPEAN UNION with the signing of the Treaty of ROME establishing the BIRTH of the E.U. in ROME. The E.U. flag of CONCEPTION and ANNUNCIATION of BIRTH of the EUROPEAN UNION in ROME both prove a causal (cause) relationship between the Beast with two horns and the people concerning the CREATION of the EUROPEAN UNION which is the IMAGE of REV.13. ROME is the home of the Beast with two horns and Mystery Babylon the great MOTHER of harlots and abominations of the earth. Therefore, the E.U. is the offspring of the Beast with two horns and the Whore of Babylon. In other words, the E.U.(image Rev.13) is the child of a PIMP and a WHORE and was born right at home in ROME. The beast with two horns and the whore of Babylon are in UNION together and the European UNION is PROOF. The voice of the bastard child is heard from the TOWER of BABEL. Anyone that still believes the image of Rev.13 is some kind of talking statue please do me a favor. Send up a flare when Pinnochio shows up and whatever you do don't hold your breath while you are waiting. It is TIME to WAKE UP.
The beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns existed before the W,E.U. The three horns picked up by the little horn (State of Vatican City) are 1. Italy under Mussolini, 2. Germany under Hitler, and 3. Spain under Franco. The passing of the W.E.U. into the dust bin of history is moot, it changes NOTHING. The LORD and the HOLY BIBLE are 100% accurate and we are indeed in the END DAYS and there is NO STOPPING IT. The POPE is the beast with two horns and they are 1. The HOLY SEE and 2. The STATE OF VATICAN CITY. The IMAGE of REV.13 is the ENTIRE EUROPEAN UNION.
The seven heads are seven kings and they are also the great city that reigns over the kings of the earth.Five kings are fallen one is and the other not yet. At the time of the sixth king that one that now is (present at the time the angel told John) Mohammed was not even born yet and Islam did not even exist and Mecca was a place of the Arabs. Constantine was not even born yet either. So Mecca is out and so is Istanbul. ROME is the SEAT OF THE BEAST with TWO HORNS and The WHORE that sits on the city of seven hills!The IMAGE of the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns is the entire EUROPEAN UNION and the voice of the IMAGE of Rev.13 is the TOWER OF BABYLON. The TOWER OF BABYLON(BABEL) is the lawful seat of the E.U. Parliament, aka Louise Weiss Building, aka EUROBABEL! It is the SPEAKING VOICE of the IMAGE of Rev.13 which is the EUROPEAN UNION! The POPE is the BEAST with TWO HORNS,1.the HOLY SEE and 2.the STATE OF VATICAN CITY ! Each is a completely separate and sovereign entity under international law and each has a HEAD OF STATE, The POPE! That makes the POPE the HEAD with TWO HORNS! He is known as the FATHER. The GREAT WHORE that sits on that great city(ROME), MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT MOTHER OF WHORES AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH is known as the MOTHER! The EUROPEAN UNION has a FATHER AND A MOTHER! The EUROPEAN UNION was born in ROME March 25,1957 (ANNUNCIATION OF THE BIRTH March 25th ROMAN CATHOLIC HOLIDAY) with the signing of the TREATY OF ROME! The FATHER is a PIMP and the MOTHER is a WHORE!!!! The EUROPEAN UNION is an ABOMINATION!!!!!!!!! The people are being played as fools,useful idiots and dupes by SATAN. This is only part of the design that I have spied! Thankyou to the GREAT KING to whom I owe all. William Le Roy Irwin
The people worship the beast and HIS image. The COMMON ERROR is that the IMAGE of Rev.13 is a likeness of the BEAST with TWO HORNS. The IMAGE of Rev.13 is a likeness of the beast with seven heads ten crowns and ten horns yet scriptures state that it is HIS image. It is HIS image because he, the beast with two horns CAUSED it, he is RESPONSIBLE for it, therefore the IMAGE of Rev.13 is HIS IMAGE. All this talking statue NONSENSE is coming from people that don't even know what the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns is. One has to know what the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns is. One has to know who and what the beast with two horns is. A person would have to know those things first before one could even possibly identify what the IMAGE is. The EUROPEAN UNION is the IMAGE of the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns and the BEAST with TWO HORNS caused the people to make it therefore it is HIS IMAGE! People DO WORSHIP the BEAST with TWO HORNS and WORSHIP of the BEAST is MANIFESTED in the EUROPEAN UNION! The QUEEN OF HEAVEN FLAG(E.U. FLAG) and the TREATY OF ROME March 25,1957 ANNUNCIATION OF THE BIRTH OF THE EUROPEAN UNION on the March 25th ANNUNCIATION OF THE BIRTH HOLIDAY AUTHORIZED BY THE POPE the BEAST with TWO HORNS is just PART OF THE EVIDENCE proving that it is HIS IMAGE!!!!! The CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP between the BEAST with TWO HORNS and the PEOPLE concerning the IMAGE (EUROPEAN UNION) is the BELIEF SYSTEM that is COMMON between them which is the ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIGION!!! The HEAD is the BEAST with TWO HORNS, the POPE and the EUROPEAN UNION is HIS IMAGE of the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns! I do hope this is understood, it really isn't that difficult to understand now that you've been told! Everyone should be able to SEE IT NOW !!!! William Le Roy Irwin
The little horn of Daniel is the STATE OF VATICAN CITY ,1929! NEXT, the three horns picked up from the ten by the little horn are, 1. Italy under Mussolini,2.Germany under Hitler and 3. Spain under Franco. NEXT, WORLD WAR 2 with the MURDER of 6,000,000 JEWS. NEXT, ISRAEL gathered back into the land from whence they were scattered, recognized as the sovereign STATE OF ISRAEL in 1948, fulfilling end days prophecy! NEXT,the POPE, the BEAST with TWO HORNS caused the people to make the IMAGE of REV.13 which is the EUROPEAN UNION 1957. In the end days all three exist simultaneously, the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns, the BEAST with TWO HORNS, and the IMAGE. The beast with seven heads, ten horns and ten crowns is INVISIBLE. The BEAST with two horns is the POPE. He is the HEAD of STATE of TWO separate and sovereign entities,1.The Holy See (kingdom) and 2. The State of Vatican City (country) thus the TWO HORNS! The BEAST with TWO HORNS is VISIBLE and caused the people to make the EUROPEAN UNION which is also VISIBLE. The causal relationship has already been established in the above comments. All three must be spiritually discerned. The BEAST with TWO HORNS is the FATHER, the WHORE is the MOTHER, the EUROPEAN UNION was BORN IN ROME! Rome is the GREAT CITY that reigns over the kings of the earth that has seven hills. It is the place of the BEAST with TWO HORNS,the POPE and the BABYLONIAN WHORE MOTHER! The pneuma(breath) of the eikon(image) is the PARLIAMENT of the EUROPEAN UNION, seated at the TOWER OF BABEL!!!!
The European Union is a representation, an image if the INVISIBLE beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns. The BEAST with TWO HORNS like a lamb and speaks as a dragon caused the people to make it. The BEAST with TWO HORNS is the POPE. Roughly 500,000,000 people no longer have their national currencies. Those people have accepted IN HAND the EURO, without which they cannot BUY OR SELL anything! The PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER aka P.I.N. number of the INDIVIDUAL is kept IN THE HEAD of the user for security purposes. The P.I.N. number allows the individual user to get EURO money from A.T.M. type computerized money machines and transfer money from one account to another. The same greek word used for mark in REVELATION 13 is used for money elsewhere in the HOLY BIBLE. The money of the beast IN HAND for BUYING and SELLING is what is written about in Rev. 13 ! Engraved ,etched or stamped coins or PAPER NOTES. A PAPER note(MONEY) is a legally binding contract or instrument good for BUYING and SELLING or paying of debts. The EURO is backed by and supported by the EUROPEAN UNION. If you don't have a EURO IN HAND you cannot BUY OR SELL anything in the EUROPEAN UNION. This is not over. In the future it is not unreasonable to think the DEATH PENALTY could be imposed for COUNTERFEITING or for OTHER REASONS. CHAOS is already taking place as various EUROPEAN UNION members go from one financial crisis to another. The EUROPEANS have a history of dealing with undesired people and people that "won't go along" that includes DEATH. The ROMAN CATHOLIC INQUISITION and the HOLOCAUST are just two examples. FIAT currency requires FAITH! The EURO is FIAT CURRENCY and terms like FAITH and BELIEVE and TRUST are associated with FIAT CURRENCY.
The word "mark" in revelation 13 is "charagma" in the greek text. Charagma is translated into the english word "mark". The Strongs Concordance definitions are weak in some cases and "charagma" is one of them. The Liddell and Scott Lexicon known as the Great Scott provides the best definitions available. Charagma (mark) is certainly money and in Rev. 13 the mark or Charagma IN HAND is associated with buying and selling. Charagma by definition is MONEY and for it (charagma)) to be associated with buying and selling convinces me that this is what the mark in hand of Rev.13 is writing about. In fact historically a letter or document of "mark" is one of authority! Paper currency(money) is a document of mark and it has LEGAL AUTHORITY. German currency was called the Mark until replaced by the EURO which is the new Mark. A coin is also charagma or a mark. To buy or sell the charagma (mark) must be IN HAND or exchanged electronically involving a PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER aka PIN number which is kept IN THE HEAD. Stamped, engraved, etched, imprinted upon coins and paper currency issued by the legally empowered authority or authorities of the EUROPEAN UNION is definetly "CHARAGMA". As I previously stated roughly 500,000,000 that is FIVE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE can't buy or sell anything unless they use the EUROPEAN UNION "CHARAGMA" known as the EURO DOLLAR which I personally call the EURO MARK! NO EURO MARK "IN HAND", NO BUYING, NO SELLING unless the USER electronically pays then the USER will need that PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER that is IN THE HEAD of the PERSON or some other IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT OR LETTER OF MARK (issued by the AUTHORITIES) such as a EUROPEAN UNION IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT which will be IN HAND also. My study of the MARK OF THE BEAST continues on.
In the END DAYS people are deluded to the point that they not only go along with the BEAST with TWO HORNS they WORSHIP him! People do WORSHIP the POPE. People think the EUROPEAN UNION is just fine, it is what they want. The europeans love the idea of another EMPIRE with the POPE reigning over the whole thing as CAESAR from ROME as though he were some kind of god! It's a dream come true for them. That dream of THEIRS is going to turn out to be a NIGHTMARE FROM SATAN. Deceivers and deceived, they are not even aware that in reality they are ALIENATED from the KING OF THE UNIVERSE. Think of the EURO as a mark in their hands. Think of the TRAFFICKING of the MONEY LOVERS. AUTHORIZED, P.I.N. numbers, account passwords, account names, etc. all kept secretly IN THE HEAD of the user for security purposes. They WORSHIP the POPE and that WORSHIP is manifested in the EUROPEAN UNION. The EUROPEAN UNION, the visible image of the invisible beast with seven heads,ten horns and ten crowns. The BEAST with TWO HORNS(the POPE) caused the people to make it. Some people just love that POPE and are just swooning over HIS IMAGE, the EUROPEAN UNION. They think the TREATY OF ROME is just wonderful. The europeans are simply in love with their QUEEN OF HEAVEN and look with PRIDE at their EUROPEAN UNION QUEEN OF HEAVEN FLAG. The entire world is wondering. Soon it will be wondering, wondering what the hell just happened to it! The PERSIANS love the EURO MARK also, the IRANIANS will not accept U.S. DOLLARS. How does the EUROPEAN UNION feel about that? The EUROPEAN UNION is another POPE CRUSADE gathering up nations and turning them into the economic system of the EURO DOLLAR which is the MARK (money) of the BEAST! THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL! We will all soon see just who is asleep and dreaming out in fantasy land. I guarantee you I'm WIDE AWAKE and I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
The EURO DOLLAR is by definition CHARAGMA (MARK) just as the former Deutsche Mark is CHARAGMA (MARK) and was even officially named Deutsche "MARK" because that is EXACTLY what it is! CHARAGMA is the greek word for MARK in REV.13. Here is a common belief of the so called alert christians generally speaking. The IMAGE of REV.13 is some kind of statue that comes to life and starts talking and that the people that perish will get a stamp or a tattoo on their right hand or forehead. Some think that it could be some kind of subdermal microchip implant. Also they believe that this will ALL take place AFTER the "rapture". Because they BELIEVE those things THEIR MINDS ARE CLOSED because of their OWN beliefs.They think," Because I'm still here and have not been raptured yet and I don't see or hear a talking statue and nobody is getting stamped or tattooed on their right hand or forehead" they BELIEVE it is not possible that the fulfillment of REV.13 is ALREADY WELL UNDERWAY. The population of the WHOLE WORLD builds a statue and it comes to life and speaks and all get a stamp on their right hand or forehead and unless they have the "mark" they cannot buy or sell. Do me a favor, SEND UP A FLARE WHEN PINOCCHIO SHOWS UP WITH A TATTOO GUN!!!!! "A TALKING STATUE" do you hear yourself???? Who came up with that interpretation,a FIVE YEAR OLD with crayons???? That sounds like FRUITCAKE to me! If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale! WAKE UP!!!!! YOUR CHILDISH BELIEFS HAVE BLINDED YOU!
A statue that comes to life and starts talking and everyone getting a tattoo on their right hand or forehead is just what the devil wants people to expect and I'll even throw in the subdermal microchip implant as well. Looking for things they will never see and waiting for things that have already happened is just what the devil has people doing! People will NEVER see a statue come to life and start talking. An image of what, the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns? What is that? One first has to know what that is before a representation (eikon) of it can be identified. The BEAST with TWO HORNS causes the people to make the IMAGE (eikon) that has breath (pneuma) and speaks. Who is the BEAST with TWO HORNS???? One must first know who the BEAST with TWO HORNS is in order to detect the causal relationship between the BEAST with TWO HORNS and the PEOPLE concerning the birth of the eikon with pneuma. It must also be taken into consideration that the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns, the BEAST with TWO HORNS and the image ALL EXIST SIMULTANEOUSLY IN THE END. The beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns is INVISIBLE and represents political powers until the time of the end and ROME is part of it and greatly involved ! The BEAST with TWO HORNS is the POPE and ROME is greatly involved again! The IMAGE that speaks is the entire EUROPEAN UNION and it is the VISIBLE representation of the INVISIBLE beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns and ROME is greatly involved again! Rome that great city that reigns over the kings of the earth. ROME is the great city where the BEAST with TWO HORNS (POPE FATHER) and MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH( WHORE MOTHER) are located! ROME is the great city where the BIRTH of the EUROPEAN UNION happened with the signing of the TREATY OF ROME! The EUROPEAN UNION speaks from the TOWER OF BABEL (BABYLON), it is the lawful seat of the parliament of the EUROPEAN UNION. The FATHER is a PIMP and the MOTHER is a WHORE. 500,000,000 people thus far have had their national currencies abolished. The plan is for all buying and selling via the EURO as the designated currency of MARK! The people must have the EURO(CHARAGMA, MARK) IN HAND for BUYING and SELLING or use electronic payment then they will use the AUTHORIZED(CHARAGMA) P.I.N. that is kept in the HEAD or IN HAND if it has been written down and in a purse or wallet. Most people memorize their P.I.N. for AUTHORIZED (CHARAGMA) EURO electronic transactions! EUROPEAN UNION AUTHORIZED (CHARAGMA) personal identification documents are also involved! Who came up with the talking statue and the tattoo on the right hand or forehead interpretation? The DEVIL did !!! The people are DELUDED to such an extent that it is almost beyond belief!
The POPE is the HEAD of STATE of TWO completely separate and sovereign entities. This a matter of fact established by INTERNATIONAL LAW and is not subject to debate!HORN number 1. The HOLY SEE, Head of State the POPE. HORN number 2. The STATE OF VATICAN CITY, Head of State,the POPE. To qualify biblically as a horn it must either be a kingdom or a country.In the case of the BEAST with TWO HORNS of Rev.13 he has one of each type. The HOLY SEE is a KINGDOM and the STATE OF VATICAN CITY is a COUNTRY. The POPE is the HEAD with TWO HORNS ! He is the BEAST with TWO HORNS of REV.13!!!! The EUROPEAN UNION is the IMAGE of REV.13!!!! 500,000,000 souls and counting now have to have the EURO(CHARAGMA) MARK IN HAND to BUY OR SELL in the EVIL EMPIRE. The TREATY OF ROME is the ANNUNCIATION OF BIRTH March 25th 1957!!!! The IMAGE(eikon) EUROPEAN UNION speaks(pneuma) from the TOWER OF BABEL(BABYLON) the lawful seat of the EUROPEAN UNION PARLIAMENT! The EUROPEAN UNION PARLIAMENT IS THE VOICE OF THE IMAGE OF REV.13!!!!! The statue that comes to life and speaks is a FALSE INTERPRETATION that keeps the people BLIND to the REAL TRUTH that I just communicated. BEWARE THE POPE OF ROME AND THE EUROPEAN UNION! It is an EVIL EMPIRE!!!! Its DOOM has been foretold! ROME that great city that reigns over the kings of the earth!!! ROME the place of the BEAST with TWO HORNS,POPE FATHER and the BABYLON WHORE MOTHER! ROME the BIRTH place of the EUROPEAN UNION!!! I can believe what I want and so can YOU!!!! I told you, you have heard from me. William LeRoy Irwin
The Euro is a bearer instrument. When a man has a Euro "in hand" it is an accurate statement if one were to say that that person is "bearing a mark (charagma) in his hand" or "he has a mark in his hand"! In the European Union one must bear the EURO MARK "in hand". In the EUROPEAN UNION one must "accept" or "receive" the mark to "buy or sell"! By definition the EURO is CHARAGMA. CHARAGMA is the word translated as "MARK" in REV.13!!!!! 500,000,000 souls and counting now use the EURO in order to "buy or sell"!!!!! The national currencies of the member nations have been abolished. The "mark" of REV.13 is a symbol of ECONOMIC SLAVERY or ECONOMIC SERVITUDE to the system of the BEAST! The participants have "faith" and "trust" and "believe" in the "FIAT" EURO of the EUROPEAN UNION.The BEAST with TWO HORNS, the POPE caused the PEOPLE to make the EUROPEAN UNION. They WORSHIP the BEAST with TWO HORNS and that WORSHIP is MANIFESTED in the EUROPEAN UNION. The participants are DELUDED.
First I must commend your Zeal for taking time to dig deep in search of knowledge I must also be quick to humbly say that you should rather do a more comprehensive research and then draw ur conclusion otherwise I see you running back here soonest to do some corrections and adjustment to ur previous posts. I know how it feels. The entrance of "new knowledge" always seems like a light but only with time we often realise what kind of light it is. I may not be able to touch every part of ur post but I will do my say a little about various posts.
*firstly from ur view that the Euro is the mark of the beast, simply means it is inevitable nearly everyone in Europe and other non European countriies that has ever used the Euro or handled the Euro for transaction has Automatically received the "mark of the Beast on their end". This is way out of Line. Do you realise the bible says in Rev 14:9 that whosover worships the Beast and its image and Receives the Mark on their forehead or hand will drink of the wrath of God poured out in full strength? Do you realise this?
Secondly, in one of ur post the rate at which you say others are blind is un-christian like. For instance you are previledge to understand what others doesn't it doesn't make them blind. The truth is knowledge is progressive and nobody is all knowing except God.
Thirdly, I'm not totally inclined towards ur view of the two beast of Revelation of Rev 13 and the image of the beast. From ur view, your view of the antichrist is totally futuristic.
The Subject of the antichrist has been very controversial over centuries. People sometimes refers to the Beast from the sea and the beast from the Earth as the Antichrist but most especially as a Person or Individual. There are some who believe that the Beast from the Sea is an individual known as the Antichrist while the Beast from the Earth which is the false prophet is another Individual that will work with the Antichrist to deceive the nations of the World and even in this 21st Century they still treats these two individuals as future event. Even those who agrees the Beasts symbolises an Empire according to the Dan 7:17 still thinks its something of the future that will take place prior to the Second Coming of Jesus. What an Error!.it is already a known fact, the entire bible story somewhat concerns the Nation Israel and the only Empires that are recorded in the Bible are those that affected the nation israel in one way or the other. I agree with you that Seven Heads of the Beast symbolises Seven world powers that has ruled over israel which are the Asyrian, Egypt,Babylon,Mede-persian, Greek and Pagan Roman empire which fell in 476AD and transitioned into Holy Roman Empire in 538AD. It is at this point that the Pope became the most powerful individual in Europe..reading through Dan 7 very carefully you will notice that, just as the third Beast which symbolises the Greek empire was described to have four heads so also the fourth Beast was described to have Seven heads. Now how was the four head fulfilled in history? The Greek empire started as a unified empire. It was founded by Alexander the great who had an untimely death and his empire was splitted among his four top generals. In a similar way, the Roman pagan empire was founded as a unified empire though later technically splitted into two regions the western and eastern Roman empire yet pagan Roman empire continued untill it fell in 476AD. When it fell it splitted into Ten kingdoms namely:
The Alamannis which is now called Germany
The Visigoths which is now called Spain
The Franks which is now called France
The Sueves which is now called Portugal
The Burgundians which is now called Switzerland
The Anglo Saxons which is now called England
The Lombards which is now called Italy
The Ostrogoths
The Vandal
The Herulis
These ten kingdoms represents the ten horns of the fourth beast. Daniel 7 recorded that as he beheld another little horn came up in the midst of the ten horns(ten kingdoms) and uprooted three of the horns.
How did this fulfilled historically?
After Pagan rome fell and splitted in ten separate kingdoms they later sort for ways to unify once again the Roman empire and restore her back to her former glory. The best option was take advantage of the fast growing roman Catholic religion that has gained so much reception and influence because of its Syncretism of paganism and Christianity. The idea was to establish a roman catholic church state but three among the ten kingdoms rejected this idea and they were annihilated.
The three divisions which were plucked up where the Heruli in 493 the vandals and 534 and the Ostrogoths in 538. Justinian, the emperor, who we see was at Constantinople, working through the general Belisarius, was the power that overthrough the three kingdoms represented by the three horns, and the reason for their overthrow with their adherence to Arianism in opposition to the orthodox Catholic faith.(Source" – the book of Daniel, page 109)
After the three kingdoms were Anihillated, the remaining seven kingdoms unites together and a new Authority(little horn) came alive known as The Roman Catholic Religio-political institution. History told us that, Speaking of the time, about 500 A.D., when the Roman Empire was crumbling to pieces:] "No, the [Catholic] Church will not descend into the tomb. It will survive the Empire . . . At length a second empire will arise, and of this empire the Pope will be the master–more then this, he will be the master of Europe. He will dictate his orders to kings who will obey them (Source: Andrea Lagarde, The Latin Church in the Middle Ages, 1915, p. vi).
This little horn that arose among the ten horns and uprooted three of the horn is the Holy Roman empire and its the Beast from the sea of Revelation 13. The physical description of the beast as having a mouth of Lion, body of leopard and feet of Bear looks like borrowed words from Daniel on how he described the Beasts of Daniel 7.
1st beast looks like a lion…Babylona empire
2nd beast looks like a Bear…Medo-persia Empire
3rd Beast looks like a Leopard Greek empire
And we have seen that the fourth beast is the Roman empire with ten horns. The beast of Rev 13 is described as a combination feature of all the four Beasts of Daniel. This simply means that the Fourth beast which is Holy Roman Empire will have features of the past four empires.
How did this fulfilled in History?
Until the death of Jesus and his resirrection, Resurrection there was no Antichrist. The reason is because it is the death and resurrection of Jesus that Authenticates Jesus as the "Christ". Hence prior to the birth of jesus and even after his birth and all through his Earthly Ministry there was No Antichrist. But soon after his resurrection when the Church began the Antichrist showed up. The Antichrist started from within the Church of God. Jude has this to say:
Jude 1:1-4–Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ
Take note..these men crept into the body of christ unnoticed with a new doctrine or ideology. And what is that ideology? They turned the grace of God into Lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus. Soon what started like a mere "new doctrine" grew fast like wild fire into a Religion. A religion that was appealing to highly Paganised people of rome because it doesn't actually condemn their paganism rather it baptises their idols, rituals, gods, temples, Festivals and beliefs and indoctrinated them into Christianity.
Cardinal Newman admits in his book(The Development of the Christian Religion) the "temples, incense, oil lamps, votive offerings, holy water, Holidays, and seasons of devotion, processions, blessings of the fields, sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure (of priests, munks and nuns), images, and statues… are all of PAGAN ORIGIN."
"Confiding then in the power of Christianity to resist the infection of evil, and to transmute the instruments and appendages of demon worship to an evangelical use… the rulers of the church from early times were prepared should occasion arise, to adopt, or imitate, or sanction the existing rites and customs of the populace
Cardinal Newman lists many examples of things of "pagan origin" which the papacy brought into the church "in order to recommend the new religion to the heathen: "in order to recommend the new religion to the heathen:" "The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; holy water; asylums [hermitages, monasteries and convents]; [pagan] holy-days, processions, sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images
Cardinal Gibbons wrote in Faith of our fathers 1917 that,
The penetration of the religion of Babylon became so general and well known that Rome was called the "New Babylon.
Roman catholism took the Ancient religion of Babylon, Persian, greek and roman empire and blends them with Christianity to form an hybrid religion known as Roman Catholism thus combining the Lion(babylon), Leopard(greek), bear(persia), ten horn( Roman) religions to form an hybrid..This hybrid religion known as Roman Catholic religio-political empire is the beast from the sea that ruled from 538AD – 1798 during the french revolution when General berthier marched into Rome and dessolved the Papacy and established a Secular one thus giving the Seventh head its mortal wound that has been gradually healed.
From 538AD to 1798 is exactly 1260years which is exactly the duration the bible says the beast will reign 3 and half years. or 42months or 1260days. Prophecy students already knows that prophetically a Day is considered as a Year.
Just as the reign of the Beast was coming to an end we saw a new beast(world power) coming into being which the bible described as the beast from the Earth. The United states of America had her declaration of independence in 1776 just as the holy roman was about coming to end. Gradually the united state grew to become the next World power thereby fulfiling bible prophecy. The Anglo america empire that comprises of The Untied states and Britian is the beast with two horns of a lamb but speaks like a dragon. And it is this empire that is currently ruling the world and is gradually setting up the image of the beast.
As Paganism infiltrated Christianity by the emergence of the Roman catholic church in the Early centuries, It started like a wrong doctrine that crept into christianity unnoticed.
I find that my interpretation is for the here and now. It is not futuristic. I will make any corrections to my words as I deem fit. The understanding posted by Xavier is familiar to me. I stand by my words. We are all free to believe whatever we want. Unfortunately the death toll described in the Book of Revelation is uncomfortable to put it mildly. It does include multitudes of deluded dupes! That is just THE WAY IT IS! There is no shortage of people that are in a state of denial. Denial and COGNITIVE DISSONANCE amount to WILLFUL IGNORANCE. Rome is the home of the Beast with two horns the POPE FATHER and the BABYLONIAN WHORE MOTHER. The EUROPEAN UNION was BORN IN ROME it is the offspring of a PIMP and a WHORE! The European Union is the image of the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns.In the end days the beast with seven heads ten horns and ten crowns,the BEAST with TWO HORNS and the IMAGE all EXIST SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!! The EURO fits the definition of CHARAGMA and in all fairness so does the U.S. DOLLAR. However,the dollar is not the mark of Rev.13. Satan, has made fools of the human race. The insanity and wickedness of the people is overwhelming. SATAN has truly deluded the masses. God sent the strong delusion! GOD IS ALLOWING IT TO TAKE PLACE! The people have not received the love of the truth and the entire lot of them will be DAMNED! Multitudes of deluded dupes exterminated!That too is just THE WAY IT IS! Believe it or not ,the choice is yours. In the days of Noah the world was full of deluded alien bastards just like it is today. They were EXTERMINATED! The decision was made and that shall we say is that. What they thought about things does not matter! They and their names are FORGOTTEN, they are not registered in the BOOK OF LIFE. They were wicked and GOD KILLED THEM ALL. The decision HAS BEEN MADE and THAT IS THAT.The LAST DAYS are as the days of NOAH and LOT! Welcome to the HERE AND NOW.
Know this, DIA means across. Satan has cast a DIAbolical device against mankind. A SIMPLE aspect of the DEVICE is having ISRAEL attacked from two directions at once. Israel attacked from and by WHORE CHRISTIANITY and also by ISLAM. WHORE CHRISTIANITY is of SATAN and so is ISLAM. For pretty much all intents and purposes ISRAEL is being ATTACKED by SATAN through two spiritual enemies. This means ISRAEL is at the center of and the target of SATAN! SATAN is using a DIABOLICAL SPIRITUAL DEVICE to gather the nations against ISRAEL. He has been using this device for CENTURIES. Crusades and Jihads are examples of this device in use.WHORE CHRISTIANITY murdered multitudes of people during the ROMAN CATHOLIC INQUISITION! ISLAM also murdered multitudes of people in order to gain control. This all has led up to the present day. Israel gathered back to the land SIGNIFYING we are in the END DAYS. Notice how WHORE CHRISTIANITY and ISLAM both supposed enemies of each other want the SAME thing concerning ISRAEL. WHORE CHRISTIANITY and ISLAM both of SATAN want ISRAEL to give up the land that the LORD is restoring to ISRAEL. The SATANIC COMMON DENOMINATOR is APPARENT. PERSIA (IRAN) is a ticking TIME BOMB, I repeat a TIME bomb. PLAGUE, EARTHQUAKE,FAMINE, ROCKS FROM SPACE, SOLAR EJECTIONS,WAR,HIS ARMY and on and on it can go. The weapons in the LORDS ARSENAL are VAST and POWERFUL. GOD has already appointed man to die once! Do you want to make that DEATH PERMANENT? As for me I surrendered a long time ago and I advise you to do the same. YOU CAN'T WIN AGAINST GOD and you would be a FOOL if you try. GOD and SATAN are involved! Where do you think the average threescore and ten PEA BRAIN stands in all of this? BEWARE!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!
A day can be a day, a day can be a year and a day can be a thousand years, a week can be a week, a week can be seven years and a week can be seven thousand years. When you read about the CHARAGMA (mark) you will notice the words CAUSES ALL. I know it's more than some want to accept. The BEAST with TWO HORNS is a MAN and it is the POPE! The POPE is HEAD OF STATE of TWO separate sovereign entities, 1. the HOLY SEE and 2.the STATE OF VATICAN CITY! He is the BEAST with two horns and the EUROPEAN UNION is his because he is responsible for it. The EUROPEAN UNION is the IMAGE of REV 13 and it belongs to the POPE it is his image. The causal relationship is the belief system of the BEAST with TWO HORNS and the PEOPLE. This is manifested by POPE WORSHIP and the Queen of Heaven flag of the E.U. and its adoption date by the Council of Europe Dec.8,1955, DEC.8th being the IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF MARY a beast with two horns holiday. The date and exact location of the signing of the TREATY of ROME being the BIRTH of the IMAGE which is the EUROPEAN UNION on March 25,1957, March 25th being the ANNUNCIATION of the BIRTH another POPE ,BEAST with TWO HORNS HOLIDAY. The POPE is the BEAST with TWO HORNS and the EUROPEAN UNION IS HIS IMAGE and he caused the people to make it. It speaks from the TOWER of BABEL. The lawful SEAT of the PARLIAMENT of the EUROPEAN UNION. YOU can believe WHATEVER you want. Welcome to the here and now. Have a nice day.

Safety regulators opened a preliminary examination of Crown Victoria police cars made by Ford Motor Co after complaints about a possible defect that could lead to a loss of steering control.
The probe affects police cars made for the model years 2005 to 2008 and could affect 195,000 vehicles, documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed.
The agency received three complaints of the upper intermediate shaft separating from the steering column in the Crown Victoria police interceptor vehicles.
It also got 10 complaints that the shaft was starting to shift away from the steering column.
Separately, Ford recalled about 5,500 Ford Edge sport-utility vehicles with 2.0-liter engines to repair a defect in the fuel system that could cause a fire.
In both cases, no injuries or accidents were reported.
In the Edge recall, Ford told safety regulators that fuel line pulse damper metal housings may crack due to an improper manufacturing process that was not previously approved.
Most Read
In the documents, Ford said they were told in May by their supplier for fuel-related parts that a second-tier supplier used an unapproved manual process to assemble the metal housings.
This process made the component weaker, Ford engineers determined, and in July discovered the possibility that it could cause fuel leaks in the Edge SUVs. In late August, Ford approved the recall.
The supplier of the metal fuel line pulse damper is Cooper Standard Automotive, Ford said.
The recall affects vehicles built in Oakville Assembly Plant from September 2, 2010 to October 31, 2011.
A Ford spokeswoman could not be immediately reached for comment.

It is always an event to stay in Iwama as an uchi-deshi with Hitohira SAITO Sensei and his family. This place full of history, where lived O sensei, still remains a place where time suspends its flight and we find ourselves immersed in the heart of Aikido and traditional teaching. This year we were not less than 19 uchi-deshi who came from Italy, Brazil, Germany, Russia, Switzerland and France.

Oh my God, It's got a name!
All my life I have experienced music in an unusual way. I tried to tell my mother, and later, a fellow piano student, but they just looked at me like I was crazy.
Soon I learned not to tell people, and at times I've hardly believed it myself.
But it's real, and it's called synaesthesia.
I see and feel music. It can get very intense. I experience the sounds, but it is so much more than that. Colors and shapes and textures, pounding and tingling and breath-stopping waves of sensations when the music is really good.
And there are other things, as well. There are things that happen with any vocalizations... including words. Oral speach is so hard for me to understand because I am so distracted by the way words look and feel. It's why I believe it's part of the reason I rarely use the phone. I get so much more from the sounds than just the words that are being said, and it's hard to determine which things I am intended to understand - which things the person is trying to convey.
I'm extremely excited. I had really given up on ever finding anyone who experienced music the way I do, but then, today, I got a clue from (of all things) watching an episode of "Heroes" with my kids. There was a new character on there tonight who could see music as shapes and colors. I caught my breath when this played out on my TV. I thought, could someone invent that who has never experienced it?
So I googled it. I found so many entries... and I found that it has a name. I'm not alone! Another secret - out there. I'm a synaesthete.

Expreiencing more than music

On Monday, Jan. 11, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a major challenge to how labor unions for public employees operate. The specific issue before the Supreme Court involves California's largest teachers' union and could affect how public employee unions operate nationwide.
Recognizing the implications of the issue, the court is devoting 80 minutes, versus the standard 60, for the oral arguments tomorrow. The case – Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association – is about an effort by some teachers to defect from the California Teachers Association (CTA) without having to pay a fee to belong to their state and local unions. Rebecca Friedrichs, an elementary school teacher in Orange County, along with nine other teachers around the state and an advocacy group, brought forward the case, which challenges a 39-year-old precedent on union dues.
A 1977 Supreme Court decision in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education said that unions that collectively bargain on behalf of public employees cannot require nonmembers to pay dues for political activity. However, it indicated that the unions can require non-members to pay "fair share" or "agency" fees to the union to cover the cost of negotiating for things on non-members' behalves.
California is one of 23 states that currently require public workers to pay the "fair share" fees for public employee unions, even if the worker does not belong to the union. The fees were established to cover the cost of collective bargaining efforts that affect the non-members' benefits, pay and working conditions.
As a result, California teachers who opt not to belong to the union are asked to kick in about $350 to $400 in fees, as compared to the more than $1,000 state and local union dues annually paid by members. For California public unions and those representing public employees in other states, there are hundreds of millions of dollars annually that are at stake in the lawsuit, which explains the support California has gotten from 21 states and various labor groups on the case.
The teachers who filed the suit are non-members of the CTA. Their legal challenge before the Supreme Court is based on a theory that collective bargaining by a public union should be considered as political activity since their salaries and benefits are influenced governmental decision-making. They maintain that being forced to pay fees should be viewed as compelled speech and a violation of their First Amendment rights.
Conversely, the CTA and the state want the Supreme Court to leave the Abood precedent in place. The unions argue that non-members should not be allowed a "free ride" to not pay due but still benefit from whatever the CTA negotiates for teachers in their collective bargaining process. They argue that it would be like four roommates sharing an apartment, but one not paying any rent. They also maintain that requiring non-members to pay some dues or fees strengthens the union's ability to negotiate on behalf of all teachers affected by the collective bargaining agreement. The federal government submitted a "friend of the court" brief supporting this stance.
The implications of the case go way beyond the teachers union. It could undermine organized labor altogether. The percentage of all U.S. workers represented by labor unions has shrunk to about 12 percent, of which about 40 percent are government workers. The California Teachers' Union challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court is considered a crucial test for organized labor.

Lazy day, but I'm making plans. And searching across foam-crested waves and channels for my people.
I learned, today, why the mountains are lonely here. Crumbling and soaking in an ever-changing mist, they are forbidden. We respect the gods by not treading that delicate ground but for the hunt on which we survive.
Or once did.
But respect was bred strong and still breeds. Breathes. And as I approach the edge of a mountain littered with dead, rotting technology from a war that was not their's and crumpled Styrofoam trash from a way of life that does not belong here — I can only step backward away and say–
"Lam'nasai. Lam'nasai. I mean you no offense," stepping ever backward and retracing my steps all the way to another land. "I go now."
New year, new land. New language and a new way.
There, across a stretch of ocean I have never gone, I will find myself bowing more than taking lead. Waiting more than grabbing reigns. Boldness in a different form. The lone sparrow watchful in a way that protects its own.
At the moment, my only "own" is this heart I have and this body that houses it. I will do what I can.

The SX30 IS is a compact, DSLR-styled ultrazoom that is essentially an evolutionary update, even though at least one of the changes seems almost revolutionary. Like Pinocchio's nose, ultrazoom lenses just keep growing longer. The SX20 IS featured a 20x zoom, the SX30 IS sports a brand new 35x zoom - currently the longest digicam zoom in the business. The SX30's gargantuan (24-840mm equivalent) zoom was created with the same materials and processes used to build Canon's EF line of DSLR lenses. Read More

The CrossFit Games Season
It seems that CrossFit as a sport has grown a tad since last year. No need for the exact numbers, but there were something like 70k people who signed up for The Open last year; and this year: 130k. Yep, that's a few more. And for those of my readers who don't know what the heck I'm talking about; the CrossFit Games looks something like this:
Around this time of the year, CrossFit HQ announces The Open, a 5 week, 5 workout world-wide event that anyone at all can sign up for. You don't need to have any experience if you don't want; all you need is $20 and either a registered CrossFit affiliate to perform the workouts in, or a video camera and internet connection. When the workout is announced on Wednesday evening, you have until Sunday night to do the workout and submit your score. Simple as that. If you end up scoring in the top 48 in the region you registered in (there are 17 regions) you get invited to Regionals. This next phase takes place around May and is a 3-day event filled with tons of crazy workouts. The top 3 athletes from each region get the invite to The CrossFit Games. The "Games" take place over a week in July and is the main CrossFit competition put on by CrossFit HQ. It;s gotten pretty damn big over only a few short years, coming form a ranch in Northern California about 4 years ago, to an ESPN 2 broadcast, multimillion-person-viewed event in a massive stadium in Southern California. No matter your thoughts on all the different aspect of CrossFit, it's pretty impressive.
So, with that info, we can talk about the first workout. It being Monday night, the first workout submission deadline came and went last night. The workout was:
17 minutes to get as far as you can of:
40 burpee target touches (touch a target 6" above your reach)
30 snatches 75#
30 burpee target touch
30 snatches 135#
20 burpee target touch
30 snatches 165#
10 burpee target touch
snatches 210#
I hit the workout with a group of training partners in my gym last Thursday. And with the over-analyzed days following, I decided that my score was good enough to not mes up my training going forward while attempting to do it again. I stuck with the score of getting 17 snatches at 165 (a score of 167 total reps performed on the 17 minutes) and I am officially sitting in 75th place in the NorCal region. From experience, I'm not all that worried about my chances of climbing up that leaderboard and making it into that top 48. I just have to trust my training, keep my head down, and work by ass off. So, that;s what I'll do. It;s fun have something something to work towards, and people to compete against.
I'm sure plenty of you all know that my thoughts towards the way CrossFit is run and the way all the "HQ" staff act is about as stupid as people can get, but that does not take away from what CrossFit as a community, and as a sport has become. I will always give respect where respect is due (like the fact that I can easily say Barry Bonds was the greatest hitter to ever play baseball, but as a person, he was/is an embarrassment to the human race) and Greg Glassman deserves a LOT of respect for what he has created. I think it's so cool to be part of a generation who gets to witness the creation of a sport. I think it's really, really, really cool that there is a world-wide push towards getting people healthier and fitter. And no matter what crazy things these HQ people choose to be a part of, I really like that it is publicly clear that people want to be healthier.
As for the sport. I love that there is a new way for people who enjoy competition to really get their taste of it. It's friendly (except for a few morons out there...), supportive, intense, and a true competitive sport. There's incredible athleticism and skill, there's strategy, there's prep and recovery, it's pretty cool if you are into all that. And I am very in to it. Not totally sure how long I'll be stay in to it, but I love the training and growth of it all. I know that after my Games season ends (hopefully not for a while) I'll probably go through a phase of searching for something else to train seriously for, and then who knows, I'll get back to the competitive CrossFit stuff, or I'll move to something else that excites me. For example, as of today I am officially on a select mens baseball team based out of San Francisco, hell yes!!! Interestingly enough, I think being on this team is going to be something hat helps me not stress out too much about the CrossFit stuff. I've always needed a little something to distract me from my obsessive analysis of things. And it turns out I kind of like baseball.
Man do I have a lot to write about.
Never Stop, GET FIT.

Have you ever tried to convince somebody that salad can be a meal? Not a side dish, not a garnish, not a appetizer, but a meal. Dinner, served. It's not always easy: here in the CR universe, salads are the stuff of feasts. But to many people, the word "salad" signifies nothing but greens, a drizzle of oil, and a watery vegetable or two. And given the mediocrity of your typical mesclun salad appetizer in a restaurant, can you really blame them?
I love salad. It's my favorite meal by far, and for so many reasons: it's versatile. It's nutrient dense. It's fresh. It's crisp. It's usually at least semi-raw, if not all raw. It's a blank canvas, a vehicle for countless flavors and textures. And, if you shop for your produce wisely, it can be a very quick, easy, and economical dinner.
Sharing my passion for greens with the universe means showing friends, family, and readers that there's nothing puny about a great salad. With a little creativity, it's easy to build a meal-sized salad. And once you get into the habit of piling your salads high with healthy sources of fat, protein, and complex carbohydrates—not to mention exquisite piles of fresh, raw vegetables—you'll never relegate salad to an appetizer plate again.
Last night's dinner salad was a perfect example of just how satisfying a salad can be. It was inspired heavily by the wonderful "Aztec Salad" at Candle Café, my spiritual home on the Upper East Side. That salad is a mix of quinoa, corn, black beans, red onion, cumin dressing, seared tempeh, and greens:
Still enchanted with last week's quinoa and black bean salad with quick cumin vinaigrette, I decided to make a few modifications, to add some scrumptious (and filling) seared tempeh, and to top it all with a thick heap of fresh avocado. The overall effect was a perfect tribute to the Candle salad I love so much!
Quinoa and Bean Salad with Spicy Seared Tempeh and Cumin Vinaigrette (Vegan, Gluten Free)
Serves 4
For quinoa salad:
1 cup dry quinoa, rinsed
Dash salt
1/2 large cucumber, diced neatly
1 small bell pepper, diced neatly
1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 can BPA free, organic black or kidney beans
10-15 basil leaves, chopped into a chiffonade
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
For the spicy tempeh+marinade:
Juice of 6 small (or 4 large) limes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave
1-2 tbsp tamari (or to taste)
5 shakes (or more) Tobasco sauce (don't fear some spice in this marinade!)
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 packages (about 16 oz) tempeh
For the vinaigrette:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp agave or maple syrup
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
To serve:
6 cups mesclun greens or baby spinach
2 large avocados
1) Cook quinoa in salted water till tender and fluffy (use a rice cooker or the package instructions).
2) While the quinoa cooks: in a large, shallow bowl, whisk together all of the tempeh marinade ingredients. Cut the tempeh into 12 square pieces (I like mine thin) and submerge them in the marinade.
3) When the quinoa is ready, add chopped vegetables, black beans, and herbs to the cooked grain, and toss. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients, and pour about 1/2 cup over the quinoa, beans, and veggies. (If you don't feel that you need all the dressing, just add as much as you'd like to.) Toss it all together.
4) Heat a skillet or frying pan with coconut oil spray or about a teaspoon of coconut oil. Over medium heat, sear the tempeh on both sides till nice and crispy. Brush with marinade as you go along.
5) Pile 2 cups mesclun greens on each plate. Pile it high with a heaping cup of the quinoa and bean salad. Stack 3 thick pieces of the seared tempeh on top, and then top each plate with 1/2 a sliced avocado. Drizzle more vinaigrette over each plate if desired, and serve to your (satisfied) guests!
This spectacular summer meal will satisfy all kinds of eaters: vegan, omni, health freaks, and foodies alike. And as you watch your guests like the plate, give yourself a pat on the back for having put salad at the center of everyone's dinner plate.
What's your favorite meal-as-salad? How do you sell salad to non-salad lovers?

text: Price Action & Candlestick Patterns Understanding price action and the 'language' of candlestick patterns and chart formations is vital to great trading. Whilst indicators have their uses, price action is king when trying to read market sentiment and place trades accordingly. Strong candlestick patterns such as 'Pin Bars' work best when they form part of a confluence of supporting factors in favour of the trade setup including trend and support or resistance levels.

An experiment in… something.
As many of my long-term readers know, I'm often promising new content that never shows up. Partially it's because the last 6 months have been absolutely nuts for me, and partially it's because I have a problem with perfection. I know I have a problem with perfection and I fight it, but let's face it, Perfection is perfect. Perhaps more saliently, Perfection has a pretty nasty right-hook and doesn't fight fair.
But maybe it's time for the nuclear option. Today I decided I'd like to try a little experiment in kicking Perfection's ass (and breaking the chokehold it's got on me). Would you join me? I have posted below the nearly stream-of-consciousness makings of an essay I want to polish up and publish. I'm asking you, my beloved readers, to help me make sense of it. Does it suck? Does it rock? Do you think the very idea is awful (or maybe fantastic)? What does it make you think, if anything? Tell me your thoughts and your stories. Let's make something better together than any of us could have alone. Rant, rave, ignore me—I'll take it all.
Reader's Notes: I want to work in a reference to the highway that Crowley designed in Good Omens, and his approach to generating massive amounts of low-grade unhappiness being so much more effective than single but dramatic acts of evil (have you read Good Omens?). But my copy is home in Maryland, where I won't be for another week.
And so, without further ado…
Happiness, Context, and the User Interface
the ultimate goal of product design should be human happiness. in one way or another. maybe your users get their jollies out of perverse things, like managing photographs, or a beautifully balanced accounting ledger, but you know, it's not your place to judge them. there can be a joy in the successful and expert execution of any task, or so the philosophers tell us. (and i, for one, believe it.)
europeans place more importance on human happiness and it shows. (the same seems to be true of australians and new zealanders.) many things are nicer there, less destructive of the people who make up the economy. you'll see places where the government or private individuals have invested in good design, or better products, or better conditions not just for a profit motivation, but simply because it's nicer. shops close on sunday, and have shorter hours in the summer. in paris, many businesses close for the entire month of august. could they make more money if they stayed open? of course. but at what cost?
americans… well. for the most part, we are incredulous that anyone would close their business for an entire month, and it's safe to say people aren't even whispering "but what would make people happy?" when most government and corporate decisions are made.
we lack context, and humans need context to be happy, satisfied creatures. in europe, they have buildings that are 300, 400 years old—dime a dozen, practically. then you have the roman temples discovered when they build the u-bahn lines and the roman walls dug out of the ground, a thousand years old or more. and that's not all that unusual.
in america, what context do we have? none. or, if not none, the only context we have are things that are of momentous importance. really old things aren't commonplace here. the white house and liberty bell aren't things that were part of the fabric of everyday people's everyday lives. there is the feeling that history is only for those special people who are pivotal, famous or really unfortunate. that's what leads us to spend all our lives waiting, working, scrimping and suffering for that one moment when it all becomes real. we are numbed to the moment, because we aren't surrounded by things that remind us that, 1200 years ago, somebody else thought this was real, this was it, this was a worthwhile expenditure of his or her life. when you're surrounded by the work of long-dead people, you begin to remember that you're a human and you'll die, too. and what will you leave behind?
that's the power of context.
if you remember that you'll die—really know it, deep down, and imagine it often, not just admit, academically, that of course you will—every day stuff becomes paradoxically both less important and more important. the bad stuff rolls off you more easily (because really, the only thing you can't use productively or recover from is death—and what's missing your train today compared to blinking out of existence in 40 years?). it's easier to look at everything in life as a learning experience. it's harder to fool yourself that whatever you're doing is "good enough for now, real life will start soon." it's easier to give of the things you've held close and dear. it makes far less sense to inflict discomfort and suffering for a quick buck. the love that you can get and give becomes more important. taking time to nurture your being, do good things for your soul, becomes paramount. the words "integrity" and "sincerety" slowly lose their tarnished quality and become real things. and if our lives are, as they say, "nasty, brutish, and short" you can quickly learn to take genuine joy in helping others' short, nasty existences be less so.
pretty much, i think there's a direct correlation between context and goodwill towards one's fellow humans. we, as a society, need to spend more time contemplating the millions who've gone before us and blinked out of existence with little or no record left of them, no one to remember them, especially those who—right up til the very end—treated their lives as worthless commodities, spending their lives instead of living them, just getting by. contemplating your own existence and then the cessation of that existence (e.g. death) is a good way to give yourself context, too.
and once we have context, once we have generated some of that goodwill, it really becomes an imperative to create things that lessen human suffering.
it's a formula that makes sense: life is short and full of pains, little ones and big ones. you don't escape with anything, not your money, not your dignity and probably not any accolades that will put you down in the history books (and even if you're in the books, you'll probably be a dry and distant character, nobody to hold a middle school Social Studies student's interest). what you can effect in terms of positive change during your time on this planet can be your only legacy. and so doesn't it make sense to make things that lessen the suffering of your fellows?
i don't believe in karma, not as an outside force that sticks its finger on the scales. but i think, deep down, every human knows exactly what he or she deserves. we know how we've conducted ourselves. we know what the costs are. we may pretend to not care, or to delight in the trouble we cause and the deceit we can get away with, like naughty children who just dare their parents to stop loving them for acting up. but, when it comes down to it, others have imperfect knowledge of us, no matter how close we are. only our own self-assessments matter and we always know. and so it's important to do things which make us proud of ourselves in a meaningful way.
so, it's my philosophy to attack design problems with an eye towards universal human suffering. yes, i'm serious. why not?
Your turn
All right, that's it. Have at it/me. Talk to me!
