THE NEW NEW TESTAMENT

The Revelation to JOHN

 

chapter 13

“Now you’re messing with a son of a bitch.” Nazareth.

Vs. 1: Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads; on each of its horns there was a crown, and on each of its heads there was a name that was insulting to God. EQ.

“Good fucking luck making sense of that shit.”

“Maybe Godzilla.”

“Not likely, he had only one head.”

“Well, we are still dealing with the seven churches. And as soon as any establishment gains power if becomes corrupt.”

“I doubt he was bitching about his own churches. What has ten horns. What is insulting to God.”

“I don’t know. I can’t imagine a God that would be insulted by anything anyone said or did. Except for poisoning paradise.”

“I thought you had an answer to everything.”

“It has something to do with the ruling powers that be. The grand Babylon. The anal retentive prick evil dictator enemies of life. Wild life. Lion’s mouth I’ll guess is Jewish law. Which the Roman Catholic Church took and threw into the blender. I can’t imagine what’s up with the bear unless they mean Germany but it is too soon to know that. The European Empire.”

Vs. 3: One of the heads of the beast seemed to have been fatally wounded, but the wound had healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast. EQ.

Rome suffered very serious set backs. And all those who had stood up to it were crushed. Until they started falling apart from within. And became the Roman Catholic Empire. The world has bought into their God story.

vs. 4: “Who is like the beast? Who can fight against it?” EQ.

“The beast is likely Nero. And we have read far too much into the story. As for who can fight against it. We must. The beast is always changing its face. Now it is the New World Order. Christian dictatorship. And they are executing a world financial crash. They are going to scare the shit out of everyone with end of the world terror news on their beastly television.”

“Is the internet the second beast.”

“Everything is beast. And it isn’t really the beast that is the danger. It is the vampires of lies. Monsanto must die. And all the rest of the evil super owners. Fucking Monsanto wants to own the world’s food. They must be stopped.”

Vs. 8: All people living on earth will worship it, except those…” EQ.

Truth is: the details are not so important. It is an old book telling of things vaguely representative of then. But it is significant that all people living on earth will worship whatever. Never mind what. The what of it doesn’t matter. Worship is a form of slavery. Mental slavery. It’s worse than chains for many will not know they are slaves. And we are slaves. We are slaves to the whims of the banks. The whims of the war machine. The whims of Hollywood and all the other bullshit stories. We have given up our common sense and our hunger for knowing the world. How to live and survive. Most of the world is ignorant and the few that get the chance to get educated are so specialized in one field that allows them to work 50 hours a week for the man. It is a desperate situation. We are the sleeping beast.

vs. 11: Then I saw another beast... EQ.

After one come the next. It is the curse of Babylon. Ask an indigenous human of North America. Middle and South too. One of the biggest genocides ever. More than 50 million people slaughtered. Wiped off the Americas. The land stolen, pillaged and poisoned. We have caused more hell on earth than any asteroid ever has. The blind leading the blind through thousands of years of holy patriarchal war mongering. Forget the fucking details in this goddamn hysterical fairytale and open your fucking eye to the bloody obvious lies right in front of your dumb ass faces.

vs. 12: It used the vast authority of the first beast in its presence. It forced the earth and all who lived on it to worship the first beast, whose wound had healed. EQ.

“Judaism Christianity.”

Almost seems bloody obvious. John’s paranoia is over his own establishment. The grand Judochristislam idiot war machine.

vs. 14: And it deceived all the people living on earth by means of the miracles which it was allowed to perform in the presence of the first beast. The beast told them to build an image in honour of the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet lived. EQ.

Let us say the sword is the tongue. The first beast Judaism. Brutalized by Christianity and at the same time supported by it. Like Pepsi always insulting Coke. Cooperative advertising. Same owners for both.

vs. 15: The second beast was allowed to breathe life into the image of the first beast, so that the image could talk and put to death all those who would not worship it. EQ.

All a little obvious. This isn’t prophecy, it is marketing. And everyone gets a mark on his or her hands or foreheads.

Finger prints. Eye scans. All law now in the American Empire. Chip in your identification. So big Daddy will know every step you make. Every breath you take. He will always be watching you.

“Sounds like a song by Sting.”

“It is a song many have sung, written and painted. Time to fight big Daddy has come. For he is robbing us blind and fucking us dry up the ass.”

“That ain’t very nice of big Daddy.”

vs. 17: No one could buy or sell unless he had this mark, that is, the beast’s name or the number that stands for the name. EQ.

There is a way around this, though most will be happy to have a chip in them. For their own security. Ha fucking ha. Decentralize. Make your communities more self-sufficient. Make some kind of local money. Trade vouchers. Reject big Daddy. Smash the security cameras. Security is a big fucking lie to rob the workers blind. Take a look at the numbers. See who the richest motherkillers are.

And fuck the fuck off with the 666 paranoia. It likely meant Nero. But what is more fun is to turn it upside down. And the number of beasts are .999. Which is about the same as one. As in all. We are the beasts. And but for a few vampires it would be one. So take up your wooden crosses, rip them down off the churches and the mountains and stab them through the hearts of the ruling class. Take your silver and make them into bullets and hang them around your neck as defiance. Or shoot the thieving lying pricks with their clown suits on.

“Are you allowed to be so aggressive.”

“It’s just a story.”


chapter 14

vs. 1: Then I looked, and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion; with him were 144,000 people who have his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. EQ.

“So what the fuck is the use of living if only 12,000 of 12 tribes of a lying backstabbing prick war monger are permitted with tattoos on their heads into the town of Mount fucking Zion.”

“It’s a test. The pricks that have stolen heaven have made their laws and religions so fucking insane to make it obvious that they are evil pricks.”

“And what kind of test is that.”

“It is a test to see if we, the common slave, can wake the fuck up and stop moping about and take on the absurd challenge of wiping the insanity of bureaucratic bullshit out of our lives and learn how to live.”

“Fuck the bureaucratic maniac vampires.”

“Oh, they aren’t the vampires. The overlords are the vampires; the bureaucrats are their cheap whores. Frightened slaves seeking security in the service of vampires.”

“Shouldn’t they rather be of the people for the people.”

“They could be if the vampires were removed.”

Vs. 3… they were singing a new song, which only they could learn. EQ.

John is talking of the elders with their four mascots but let us take it and make it mean what we want. And what we want is that we all sing our song. And if anyone cares to listen, this has already happened. In the last hundred years or more it has become even stronger. In literature even longer. And it is always a similar message. Wake up, we are sleepy slaves and working for the man sucks. There has been a few years of virtual plenty from the profit of plunder but this too has mostly been taken by the vampires. The money, the wealth and the power are continually sucked up dry by the few mega-rich owners. The blood sponges. Those above the law. Those who would murder millions for a bucket of oil. Or a handful of gold.

We need to turn it around. Wake up to the now.

vs. 4: they are the men who have kept themselves pure by not having sexual relations with women; they are virgins. EQ.

“Is fucking little boys not included, or what.”

“Bullshit. We call bullshit on this. There is nothing holy about virginity. It is good for children but there is not a species alive that has practiced such an absurd abstinence. And the priests and lawyers and their masters, the vampires suck the life out of virgins and rape them and commit such horrible sexual crimes that would make most people vomit in disgust and outrage. We have been blinded. The houses of the holy are houses of lies and crimes against life.

Tear the temples down.

“We could make community halls of them. Or hostels. Or old people homes.”

“Whatever. Religion must die.”

vs. 5: They have never been known to tell lies; they are faultless. EQ.

This is almost true. Usually they tell lies and no one knows it. In fact, religion is a lie so everything they say is a lie. And we have had enough cases of priests raping little boys to know they are not faultless. They are those that would suffer most if God were to pass judgment.

vs. 8: “She has fallen! Great Babylon has fallen! She made all people drink her wine - the strong wine of her immoral lust!” EQ.

Babylon has not yet fallen. It has played the falling game with the slaves but the system of Babylon is stronger now than it ever was. It rules your television. It has long laid plans to make a New World Order and take complete global power.

John, of course, could guess that this would come for it is obvious that they would not stop until they were stopped. Power corrupts with no exceptions. Which is why Jesus Christ will not be high priest. And ultimate power is the most vile. There is nothing behind their lust for power other than blind megalomania.

Babylon will fall but it will not fall without help. It must be taken down. Piece for piece to build a saner world.

Vs. 9: … “Whoever worships the beast and its image and receives the mark on his forehead or on his hand 10. Will himself drink God’s wine, the wine of his fury, which he has poured at full strength into the cup of his anger! All who do this will be tormented in fire and sulphur before the holy angels and the Lamb. EQ.

Don’t take the imagery seriously. But do understand the warning. The blind followers that always do as they are told and worship the Lord of whatever religion, they will receive a brutal wakeup call. You do not have the freedom not to take part in the overthrow of the vampires. The overlords. The war pigs. Life depends on our participation.

vs. 11: ... There is no relief day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, for anyone who has the mark of its name.” EQ.

Worship is insanity. And the story is a little backwards. We are the beast. The beast among many other beasts. Animals. Life forms. And we are one of the first to burst into consciousness. And the vampires would like to take that away from us. It is why they cursed Eve.

“Why would they want to stop us from evolving to the gods.”

“Because they will go extinct. There is no room for lying thieving murdering pricks in the realm of the real. Their fantasy horror theater will be destroyed and they will all shrivel up like camel shit in the desert sun.”

vs. 20: ... and blood came out of the winepress in a flood three hundred kilometers long and nearly two meters deep. EQ.

“This is really nice stuff to be teaching your children. For Christ sake. Wake the fuck up. And stop tormenting your children with religion.”


chapter 15

A short chapter and an end to the plagues.

vs. :1: ... There were seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last ones, because they are the final expression of God’s anger. EQ.

“Anger of the god’s. For the crimes against life. Heaven.”

vs. 2: Then I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. EQ.

So let us presume John has spent half a day in a mad trance. From sunrise to sunset or the other way around. A sea of glass mixed with fire is the sun shining over the horizon of the water.

“Are you certain.”

“Yes.”

Vs. 2: … I also saw those who had won the victory over the beast and its image and over the one whose name is represented by a number. EQ.

John is foretelling the victory over Nero. It was Nero that had so persecuted the Christians in the early years. This is a story out of history. Our story has similarities because the bloody story remains the same. Tyrants rule and most everyone is persecuted. Billions are starving right now. They are drinking dirty water. The horror is yet to stop and the rulers do not have it in their plan to do so. Salvation must come from us. We must and can save ourselves. We must and can allow the forests and jungles back in. We must and can allow the oceans to thrive one again. Now. Before it is too late for us.

Vs. 4: …“All the nations will come and worship you,
Because your just actions are seen by all.” EQ.

No. All nations will give up the mad notion of worship. Worship is backwards and blind. We will see that we are in heaven now. We will know that now is a time to commune and enjoy life. Do not worship. The Lords are the warlords, the mighty landlords. The murdering thieves. Their priests and lawyer are the farthest from holy.

Vs. 8: The temple was filled with smoke… EQ.

John says because something else but we are several generations beyond that. They are filled with smoke because we have set fire to them to demonstrate our anger at the temples of lies.

Evolution will not be stopped by the asshole warlords and their religions of lies.

Do not worship.
