There are so many interpretation of the apocalypse, many are interesting and valid.

I remember a brasilian theologian, who was very down to Earth with his approach. That is why I always liked him. First, he remembered the historical context in which these texts were written. The very first followers of Christ were slain. But at the same time, the events around Christ were so strong in the people's consciousness that the movement was increasing. The letters were written to the first twelve most important group of christian. They were written in a symbolical middle eastern way to be only decoded by the first christian initiate and avoid roman persecution. The beast was an analogy to the roman empire and the lady, to the church.

According to this theologian, these messages were not talking about our time, but rather the evolution and persecution time of the first churches. The adoption of chritianity by the roman empire, the corruption of the faith by foreign influence, the schisms and the final transformation (liberation) of Christianity.


On the other hand, I think the white European Elite of our world (Vatican, City of London, Washington DC) are taking this text integrally. They also might have change it to fit their plan for humanity. And use their technological "toys" to create events that fit the description of the text, following it like a script.

Namaste, Steven
