There never was multiple Gospels by multiple authors. The Gospel was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.

Thank you, Hement, these "Everything wrong with..." were the highlight of my Sunday mornings since you started them. I'm pleased you came back for one last book. Thank you
He kind of was specific. Well as specific as he could be, romans didn’t take kindly to criticism, but were generally against destroying religious texts. John wrote it veiled enough that it looked as a religious text, but anyone in the know reading it would have known what it was about. The city on the seven hills can’t be anything else than Rome, the Number of the Beast was a clear reference to Nero, and heck they knew it, because when they translated from Greek to Latin they changed the number so it would still match Nero in the Latin spelling.
I think it was LSD or something similar. Look at what happens in Revelations 10:9. The angels says "here John, eat this tiny scroll. It will make you feel good."
It's astrological allegory for the transition to Aquarius A Lunar Sothic Metonic Saros Calendar But Atheists are so superior intellectually speaking...
no idea why you skipped on other books and jumped and already in revelation but I'm really gonna enjoy watching these. gonna download it and put on my android tablet so I can watch these anytime, anywhere.
The Book of Revelation. For so long it was my favorite writing in the Bible. Like so many Christians, I would say the Beast is this or that. or the Number means this or that. But more recently I began to look at the Book differently. I consider the time it was written for and the circumstances. The Enemy-The Red Dragon, the two Beasts, the Woman in Scarlet-all represent one thing: Rome. The Empire was not quite at it's height at the end of the 1st Century. It reached vast proportions during the reign of Hadrian. But at the time of the writing of Revelation, The foot of Rome was on the neck of Judea including the beloved Jerusalem. So my take. The author wanted to give the people some hope for the future. So he imagines this scenario of Rome expanding to control of the whole Earth. So he creates a dream end of a destroyed Rome and a triumphant and re-glorified Jerusalem. That's what I think the story is all about.
I can't wait for the next chapter I've really missed you doing this it's something I look forward to every Sunday morning and I've missed it thank you for coming back with this. Peace¥kcmo
Ah, we have jumped straight to Revelation! You can tell this one was written much later than the rest of the Bible, because it reads like none of the other books. It reads more like Biblical fan fiction.
I had missed my Sunday school classes for so long. This is nearest i can get church.😂Thanks for coming back. Let the debunking go on. Greetings from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼.
Wait a second! Last time I heard from this series, you had just finished the 5th book of the Bible and you said that you were not going to continue any further. Now you're doing Revelation amd I just saw a recomendation for Proverbs 31. What else did I miss?
There's a reason the four horsemen are so frequently referenced. Revelation is one of the few books of the bible with interesting (albeit ridiculous) lore.
I was raised RC, a church that does not incourage study. I was an alterboy for many years but walked away at 13. By 1983 I was firm in my conviction as agnostic, when something I heard on a radio talk show got me to open the Bible for the first time, to the Book of Revelation. Within that year I was keeping the Biblical seventh day Sabbath, the dietary laws and the Feasts. I then spent the next 35 plus years studying the books. My studies took me from believing in the messiah to rejecting the "scriptures" in reverse order, starting with the NT, then the writtings and finally the Torah. People don't ask the correct questions. P.S. have you seen; Ceaser's Messiah? It's long, but very detailed and connects to Yosef ben Matityahu.
There is one sentence in Revelation that is prophetic and deserves close examination. The sentence that talks about destroyers of the earth. I can't help but think it is about the wealthy causing war, death, pestilence, and destruction of the earth for profit.
Thank you Hemant for all that you do and all the important (and often humorous) content you provide. Happy new years to you and yours from this ex-catholic and may Lisa, the FSM, and Lord Atheismo bestow their favor upon you during this rock's next revolution around it's local plasma reactor.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. Steven Weinberg
I think there is some audience relevance here that most Christians overlook when reading Revelation. Namely, that Revelation is a letter, written to specific people at a specific time and place(s).It was written to them and for them-not to anyone in the 21st century or any other century, for that matter. I know that's not a popular position to hold theologically-in these modern times-or even on this channel, but nevertheless, it is what it is.
The Revelation is written in Jewish apocalyptic style and you will find similar writings in Ezekiel and Daniel. The Revelation does NOT predict the future in the way many Christians think it does. For the most part, it's about the Roman Empire, Nero, and things the early churches experienced. It ends with Jesus establishing a new heaven and a new earth, here on the present earth, and evil coming to an end. It was so controversial and difficult to understand that many early theologians, including Luther, thought it did not belong in the Bible. And IMHO, it doesn't belong. It's been a great tool for instilling fear among believers. My advice for Christians? Just say no. Don't read it. Christians should be busy living and loving like Jesus and not have time to fret about John's trance hallucinations. So far, epic fail.
The book of Daniel is also apocalyptic literature (at least partly), like Revelation. It's nice when you know roughly why people are writing the way they are because of the style they chose. Most stories in the bible were meant to be lessons, not history. Apocalyptic and prophetic literature are particularly interesting because so many people believe what it's saying at face value instead of the context of when and where it was written. Might be interesting for you and for a series.
7 was a sacred number. If you notice, Bible does do numerology throughout the book. The seven churches were on shores or near shores of Mediterranean. Supposedly, he and Paul visited those churches in the past. The white woolen hair and bronze skin was symbol of Ancient of Days in Daniel. Some used this as proof that Jesus was dark skinned African, with wooly hair. Golden sash was awarded to people for some achievement but didn't say what. White robes were worn in worshipping at temple or synagogue. The women would cover their hair with a hood. In some Greek ceremonies, the men also covered their hair with a hood. Yes, proof that Bible had thought of Earth flat, when they said whole of Earth saw him at once. Also, it said this would soon come about. Interesting how fundies skip that part. This is as false as Ezekiel's prophecy of Tyre that never came about. The double-edged sword from mouth is of course metaphor. I think it comes from Daniel. John did culled from previous apocalyptic writings and made them Christian and more up to date to Roman times.
My Revelation Review: I read Revelation through a couple of times recently. Besides being a fairly short read, I found it to be a load of weirdly repetitive, increasingly dark, generally incomprehensible, slightly poetic drivel with absolutely no application to current events. . . . . The end.
I went to Catholic school, and the way the book was taught to us, you might find surprising. We were taught that Revelation was written in a time when Christians viewed Rome as an evil city and an evil empire. An obstruction to God' Kingdom. They wanted Rome to fall, and Christ to rule. The book was a coded message to Christians that aasured them Rome would indeed fall by divine intervention, and the persecution of Christians would end. The tongue as a double edged sword, meant to looke for the hidden message in the symbolism. Those who were familiar with jewish symbolism could understand the meaning, while it just looked like nonsensical dreams to the Romans
Jew here. First seven prime numbers squared added up equals 666. = Talmud Bavli Avoth 5.1 "The ten divine words from which all of the world was created." = 'What will it be to be being hues of Man?' 'What will it be to be being HUMAN? ABRACADABRA - God spoke and it was so.
@@accuratealloys prophesies are meant to be self-fullfilling. They're more of a blueprint to give some cohesevieness to decentralized movements. I wouldn't say they are dangerous by nature. They're often instrumental for the morale and determimation of resistance movements. The Revelation is a sticky one, because it's actually based on real cyclical trends. Whoever wrote it was educated on the typical arc of an empires life cylcle. I personally think it's modelled after the bronze age collapse. For this reason, it's been "fullfilled" many times over, and every time it causes Christianity to move in an "accelerationist" direction, and further entrenches them in their self-righteous beliefs. It's proven to be a dangerous one over the centuries. Really is useful for the church to gather power in troubling times.
Someone needs to draw/paint/sculpt this Jesus with white hair and fire at his feet and ninja stars and a frickin sword in his mouth - it has the potential to look metal af
Clearly they didnt understand the bible many things have to take place before the second coming it may even be 50-100 years from now you will not want to live in the end times
Ergot is a hell of a drug. As to the prophecies, I think we have to remember that the modern idea of prophecy and the old idea are different. We think of prophets as soothsayers, telling the future. But that's not what the prophets in the bible did - they _warned_ people about the future. Not "you're going to lose your job tomorrow" but "if you don't straighten up, god will do THIS to you. So get it together!" (This is distinct from an oracle, that does tell the future but in a way that almost always misses the mark with the person listening.) So the prophecy that the end is near is true, in that prophetic sense. The end is always just around the corner, because turning humanity around can forestall the end, but heading down the wrong path will bring it about. There's always a choice about the future, and "the end is near" is meant to keep believers focused on making the right choices. This stuff really was not taken as literally centuries ago as it is today. A lot of it is poetic language that comes out of the surrounding culture, some of it is symbolism that would have been recognized at the time. But mostly it was the ergot.
Thank you so much. I have enjoyed reading the Pentateuch with you. I know this will be a wonderful reading. Looking forward to go through the book of Revelations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
1. Oh, well done, you got a new shirt! 2. I do believe it would be Yohan it Hebrew, if John of Patmos was Jewish. 3. The time is near," says Yohan, approximately 2000 years ago. At least when the Hindus talk about Apocalypse at the end of Kali Yuga, it's so unimaginably far distant that there's plausible deniability built right in. But I WILL be pointing out the similarities between Pralaya (Hindu Apocalypse literature) and this sh*t. Remember that it wasn't just goods that travelled along the Silk Road. Stories did, too. 4. Well, okay, to start, the seven spirits thing is actually Zoroastrian, because God has seven angels who serve "him" directly in that religion. Also, Turkey was some HOT SH*T back in the day, eh, because it had some of the largest populated cities in that part of the world, and was an enormous trading hub for cross-continent merchants. Think of where it is: you can access it so very easily equally from Europe, Asia, and Africa, so long as you can sail short distances in some of those cases. 5. Soooooooooooooo, you'd be able to see this happening from North and South America? Because, remember, kids the continent where (I'm willing to bet) MOST of you are sitting right now, including me, didn't exist before 1492. XD Snort, sorry, had to. Try more like the past 14,000 years, or more, of population. You know, before Jesus was ever even thought of? 6. "I was in the spirit" = "I was high off my AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS!" 7. This is where you kind of start getting into the Avatar Kalki stuff. Kalki will be, according to the Hindu mythos, or at least the Vaishnavic (Vishnu-worshipping) stuff, the tenth and final Avatar (incarnation) of Vishnu, who comes to end the world with a fiery sword. They say that Kalki will be born with pure white skin, like snow, but then his rage and anger will turn it blacker and blacker over time as he goes around on his white horse, cutting down all evil in the world with his sword. I have a feeling this is kinda racist, to be real. It's sort of a knock against the Dravidians, who are the native inhabitants of India and have VERY dark skin. They were, by and large, forced to the bottom of the caste system as the Brahminic cults took off. Like, I believe they SAY it's not racial, but, by and large, you'll find more descendants of the Indo-Aryans (lighter-skinned migrants into India from the Caucasus, which is where we get the word 'Caucasian", by the way)in the twice-born castes, which means the higher-caste people, than in the lower ones. Hemant, you were a Jain in the first place, so this doesn't apply to you, since the Shramana/renouncer traditions (Jainism and Buddhism) also renounced caste, but depending on where your ancestors were from is an easy-ish way to judge. But I do know a woman who actually came to Canada from the Tamil Nadu (southern India: the horn reaching down off the bottom) who was upper-caste before she left the faith, because she married a no-caste man and her parents didn't like it. 8. Well, he's either high or a plagiarist. Or both. 9. Oh hey, look who has patrons. Nice.
I skipped to the end of the Bible when I was a kid. I was like 9 or 10 at the time, the Gulf War had jumped off, the ATF had paid a visit to some cultists in Waco, Texas, and I thought the world was totally going to end and that the 4 horsemen were about to start some shit.
My dad is a big Spanish catholic. He tells me last night, “the world has always been in war, why are you talking about that.” Yea dad because the bible/book saids it’s all okay. 😳

I'm pleased you came back for one last book. Thank you
JemmetGK Well he does get “Everything wrong…” in his series, as one who has not studied or understood the material
This is just making me think of how the oracles of Delphi had their “visions” thanks to hallucinogenic gas.
I am so glad this is back. What a great New Year gift.
oh ! So good to see you back with this series. I really appreciate it, and you have again added to my Sunday mornings. Thanx !
So awesome to have you back! We truly do appreciate your hard work.
Even before I left the church I was convinced someone ate mushrooms before they wrote revelation.
What happens when you do mushrooms in a cave and try to tell followers about the evils of the current empire without being specific.
He kind of was specific. Well as specific as he could be, romans didn’t take kindly to criticism, but were generally against destroying religious texts. John wrote it veiled enough that it looked as a religious text, but anyone in the know reading it would have known what it was about. The city on the seven hills can’t be anything else than Rome, the Number of the Beast was a clear reference to Nero, and heck they knew it, because when they translated from Greek to Latin they changed the number so it would still match Nero in the Latin spelling.
I think it was LSD or something similar. Look at what happens in Revelations 10:9. The angels says "here John, eat this tiny scroll. It will make you feel good."
It's astrological allegory for the transition to Aquarius
A Lunar Sothic Metonic Saros Calendar
But Atheists are so superior intellectually speaking...
💓💖💗👏💯. This was great! So glad I got the chance to support this excellent project. Well done, Hemant!
Thanks for presenting this whole series, , I look forward to the next installment.
FINALLY!!! Looking forward to this series!
"those of you who read this aloud and those of you who hear it are blessed". That includes Hemant and the rest of us. Cool!
Bar none the best of your material ever I laughed from beginning to end, thanks man much appreciated.
no idea why you skipped on other books and jumped and already in revelation but I'm really gonna enjoy watching these. gonna download it and put on my android tablet so I can watch these anytime, anywhere.
7:10 both Jesus and his dad left five-star reviews about Patmos on Yelp
Revelation was written by someone who ate some really good mushrooms 🍄 😂
Thanks for the return
Welcome back and Happy New Year. This will be hilarious
I just love the way you sum this up.
New years eve special. So happy
Too short!! Waiting for more 😊 thoroughly enjoy your channel
Thanks so much for doing these, you narrating these and breaking them down is like drinking while hanging out with family you don't link.
(link=like)
According to rev 1:3 hemant is *blessed*
_Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy_
And so are we all, just for listening!
The Book of Revelation. For so long it was my favorite writing in the Bible. Like so many Christians, I would say the Beast is this or that. or the Number means this or that. But more recently I began to look at the Book differently. I consider the time it was written for and the circumstances. The Enemy-The Red Dragon, the two Beasts, the Woman in Scarlet-all represent one thing: Rome. The Empire was not quite at it's height at the end of the 1st Century. It reached vast proportions during the reign of Hadrian. But at the time of the writing of Revelation, The foot of Rome was on the neck of Judea including the beloved Jerusalem. So my take. The author wanted to give the people some hope for the future. So he imagines this scenario of Rome expanding to control of the whole Earth. So he creates a dream end of a destroyed Rome and a triumphant and re-glorified Jerusalem. That's what I think the story is all about.
Finally! Thank you for this! Rev will be so fun to watch :)
FYI Over here in the UK the Telephone game is called Chinese whispers.
Super excited for this!
Isn’t the dragon with seven heads just the Bible ripping off the hydra from Greek mythology?
I'm so glad you did this one!
Can't wait for the next chapter. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
John got hold of some shrooms while on that island.
I can't wait for the next chapter I've really missed you doing this it's something I look forward to every Sunday morning and I've missed it thank you for coming back with this. Peace¥kcmo
Christianity has single-handedly turned the word "apocalypse" from meaning "revelation" to meaning "the end of the world".
Does that really count as "single-handedly"?
@@lawsonj39 If you want to take a figurative expression literally, no. Unless you mean the "literally" that means its own opposite.
Martin Luther said that John, the author of the REVELATION must have had a HIGH FEVER.
Thanks, I am so happy you are doing this.
Ah, we have jumped straight to Revelation! You can tell this one was written much later than the rest of the Bible, because it reads like none of the other books. It reads more like Biblical fan fiction.
Thanks for deciding to cover revelation btw
Happy New Year
I had missed my Sunday school classes for so long. This is nearest i can get church.😂Thanks for coming back. Let the debunking go on. Greetings from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼.
Wait a second! Last time I heard from this series, you had just finished the 5th book of the Bible and you said that you were not going to continue any further. Now you're doing Revelation amd I just saw a recomendation for Proverbs 31. What else did I miss?
I think the writer of Revelations was high as a kite when he started writing this book. That or going insane.
In Aramaic, “To come in the clouds” means to succeed in a mission.
Gotta love revelation. Mythology should be batshit and wild. This book is actually fun for it's wild stupidly.
There's a reason the four horsemen are so frequently referenced. Revelation is one of the few books of the bible with interesting (albeit ridiculous) lore.
66 books. 666. could there be a connection here?
Some second century AD christians rejected the book of Revelation
Love the new series ❤
So glad you skipped ahead to this. I remember reading this book months back and thinking "this is a bonkers acid trip"
Hilarious my brother! Loved it. Lov ya. Happy new year
I was raised RC, a church that does not incourage study. I was an alterboy for many years but walked away at 13. By 1983 I was firm in my conviction as agnostic, when something I heard on a radio talk show got me to open the Bible for the first time, to the Book of Revelation. Within that year I was keeping the Biblical seventh day Sabbath, the dietary laws and the Feasts. I then spent the next 35 plus years studying the books. My studies took me from believing in the messiah to rejecting the "scriptures" in reverse order, starting with the NT, then the writtings and finally the Torah. People don't ask the correct questions.
P.S. have you seen; Ceaser's Messiah? It's long, but very detailed and connects to Yosef ben Matityahu.
Yay, it’s great to have this series back! Revelation is going to be an insane ride and I am here for it 🤣
Brilliant :) informative and funny. You should do a story on the polar bear who walked from the antartic to the middle east to get on a boat.
There is one sentence in Revelation that is prophetic and deserves close examination. The sentence that talks about destroyers of the earth. I can't help but think it is about the wealthy causing war, death, pestilence, and destruction of the earth for profit.
What if John had been exiled to the island of Lesbos?
Good times. Fun times.
Yes lesbians 😂 😅😊
Studying the Bible promoted my turning to Satanism ❤
Thanks!
I don't even waste my time arguing about the Bible.
Theres apparently 45,000 different Christian denominations, i think that says it all.
Thank you Hemant for all that you do and all the important (and often humorous) content you provide. Happy new years to you and yours from this ex-catholic and may Lisa, the FSM, and Lord Atheismo bestow their favor upon you during this rock's next revolution around it's local plasma reactor.
I enjoyed reading the bible. Definitely convinced me that they made it all up.
I’m so hype about this book that I was too scared to read when I was a Christian getting roasted! Thank you Hemant❤
The Book of Revelation is essentially what would happen if God was introduced to Spore
Oh lawdy. Been waiting for this. It's gonna be a doozy.
I’m THRILLED that you’re back!
Thanks, for all you do and have done, Hemant!
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Steven Weinberg
Thanks. I've used a version of that quote for a while, but couldn't remember who said it or the actual full quote itself.
I think there is some audience relevance here that most Christians overlook when reading Revelation. Namely, that Revelation is a letter, written to specific people at a specific time and place(s).It was written to them and for them-not to anyone in the 21st century or any other century, for that matter. I know that's not a popular position to hold theologically-in these modern times-or even on this channel, but nevertheless, it is what it is.
This is oddly similar to a shroom trip.
The Revelation is written in Jewish apocalyptic style and you will find similar writings in Ezekiel and Daniel. The Revelation does NOT predict the future in the way many Christians think it does. For the most part, it's about the Roman Empire, Nero, and things the early churches experienced. It ends with Jesus establishing a new heaven and a new earth, here on the present earth, and evil coming to an end. It was so controversial and difficult to understand that many early theologians, including Luther, thought it did not belong in the Bible. And IMHO, it doesn't belong. It's been a great tool for instilling fear among believers. My advice for Christians? Just say no. Don't read it. Christians should be busy living and loving like Jesus and not have time to fret about John's trance hallucinations. So far, epic fail.
Christians should read it. Also, christians should become atheists.
I used to listen to Herbert W Armstrong before going to bed. It's much more scary than a Stephen King novel.
The book of Daniel is also apocalyptic literature (at least partly), like Revelation. It's nice when you know roughly why people are writing the way they are because of the style they chose. Most stories in the bible were meant to be lessons, not history. Apocalyptic and prophetic literature are particularly interesting because so many people believe what it's saying at face value instead of the context of when and where it was written. Might be interesting for you and for a series.
Yes, I think whoever wrote Revelation must have been deep into the Book of Daniel. Although we can say it sounds crazy, Revelation is actually cool..
7 was a sacred number. If you notice, Bible does do numerology throughout the book. The seven churches were on shores or near shores of Mediterranean. Supposedly, he and Paul visited those churches in the past. The white woolen hair and bronze skin was symbol of Ancient of Days in Daniel. Some used this as proof that Jesus was dark skinned African, with wooly hair. Golden sash was awarded to people for some achievement but didn't say what. White robes were worn in worshipping at temple or synagogue. The women would cover their hair with a hood. In some Greek ceremonies, the men also covered their hair with a hood. Yes, proof that Bible had thought of Earth flat, when they said whole of Earth saw him at once. Also, it said this would soon come about. Interesting how fundies skip that part. This is as false as Ezekiel's prophecy of Tyre that never came about. The double-edged sword from mouth is of course metaphor. I think it comes from Daniel.
John did culled from previous apocalyptic writings and made them Christian and more up to date to Roman times.
I was raised in an a Pentecostal cult, all they ever talked about was the rapture, and revelation. I have a ton of weird memories from back then.
My Revelation Review:
I read Revelation through a couple of times recently. Besides being a fairly short read, I found it to be a load of weirdly repetitive, increasingly dark, generally incomprehensible, slightly poetic drivel with absolutely no application to current events. . . . . The end.
I went to Catholic school, and the way the book was taught to us, you might find surprising. We were taught that Revelation was written in a time when Christians viewed Rome as an evil city and an evil empire. An obstruction to God' Kingdom. They wanted Rome to fall, and Christ to rule. The book was a coded message to Christians that aasured them Rome would indeed fall by divine intervention, and the persecution of Christians would end.
The tongue as a double edged sword, meant to looke for the hidden message in the symbolism. Those who were familiar with jewish symbolism could understand the meaning, while it just looked like nonsensical dreams to the Romans
Jew here. First seven prime numbers squared added up equals 666. = Talmud Bavli Avoth 5.1 "The ten divine words from which all of the world was created." = 'What will it be to be being hues of Man?' 'What will it be to be being HUMAN?
ABRACADABRA - God spoke and it was so.
The problem is they believe it. It doesn’t matter what book they believe. A “prophecy” is always going to be dangerous.
I read Revelation to scare myself as a 12 year old. It worked😩
@@accuratealloys prophesies are meant to be self-fullfilling. They're more of a blueprint to give some cohesevieness to decentralized movements. I wouldn't say they are dangerous by nature. They're often instrumental for the morale and determimation of resistance movements. The Revelation is a sticky one, because it's actually based on real cyclical trends. Whoever wrote it was educated on the typical arc of an empires life cylcle. I personally think it's modelled after the bronze age collapse. For this reason, it's been "fullfilled" many times over, and every time it causes Christianity to move in an "accelerationist" direction, and further entrenches them in their self-righteous beliefs. It's proven to be a dangerous one over the centuries. Really is useful for the church to gather power in troubling times.
Someone needs to draw/paint/sculpt this Jesus with white hair and fire at his feet and ninja stars and a frickin sword in his mouth - it has the potential to look metal af
And would make a great Christmas decoration.
I’m 63 and was told that Jesus will be back any second when I was 5 😆😆
Clearly they didnt understand the bible many things have to take place before the second coming it may even be 50-100 years from now you will not want to live in the end times
What???? I haven't caught one of these videos in a few months. I can't believe the red shirt is gone!!! How long ago did it happen?
Ergot is a hell of a drug.
As to the prophecies, I think we have to remember that the modern idea of prophecy and the old idea are different. We think of prophets as soothsayers, telling the future. But that's not what the prophets in the bible did - they _warned_ people about the future. Not "you're going to lose your job tomorrow" but "if you don't straighten up, god will do THIS to you. So get it together!" (This is distinct from an oracle, that does tell the future but in a way that almost always misses the mark with the person listening.)
So the prophecy that the end is near is true, in that prophetic sense. The end is always just around the corner, because turning humanity around can forestall the end, but heading down the wrong path will bring it about. There's always a choice about the future, and "the end is near" is meant to keep believers focused on making the right choices. This stuff really was not taken as literally centuries ago as it is today. A lot of it is poetic language that comes out of the surrounding culture, some of it is symbolism that would have been recognized at the time.
But mostly it was the ergot.
They were not even sure about including the Revelation of John in the Bible at the Council of Nicea at 310(?)AD. They knew it was flaky then.
Oh god it's finally here! The absolute insanity of this book!
Sounds like Johnny got heat stroke on that island.
Thank you so much. I have enjoyed reading the Pentateuch with you. I know this will be a wonderful reading. Looking forward to go through the book of Revelations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
1. Oh, well done, you got a new shirt!
2. I do believe it would be Yohan it Hebrew, if John of Patmos was Jewish.
3. The time is near," says Yohan, approximately 2000 years ago. At least when the Hindus talk about Apocalypse at the end of Kali Yuga, it's so unimaginably far distant that there's plausible deniability built right in. But I WILL be pointing out the similarities between Pralaya (Hindu Apocalypse literature) and this sh*t. Remember that it wasn't just goods that travelled along the Silk Road. Stories did, too.
4. Well, okay, to start, the seven spirits thing is actually Zoroastrian, because God has seven angels who serve "him" directly in that religion. Also, Turkey was some HOT SH*T back in the day, eh, because it had some of the largest populated cities in that part of the world, and was an enormous trading hub for cross-continent merchants. Think of where it is: you can access it so very easily equally from Europe, Asia, and Africa, so long as you can sail short distances in some of those cases.
5. Soooooooooooooo, you'd be able to see this happening from North and South America? Because, remember, kids the continent where (I'm willing to bet) MOST of you are sitting right now, including me, didn't exist before 1492. XD Snort, sorry, had to. Try more like the past 14,000 years, or more, of population. You know, before Jesus was ever even thought of?
6. "I was in the spirit" = "I was high off my AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS!"
7. This is where you kind of start getting into the Avatar Kalki stuff. Kalki will be, according to the Hindu mythos, or at least the Vaishnavic (Vishnu-worshipping) stuff, the tenth and final Avatar (incarnation) of Vishnu, who comes to end the world with a fiery sword. They say that Kalki will be born with pure white skin, like snow, but then his rage and anger will turn it blacker and blacker over time as he goes around on his white horse, cutting down all evil in the world with his sword. I have a feeling this is kinda racist, to be real. It's sort of a knock against the Dravidians, who are the native inhabitants of India and have VERY dark skin. They were, by and large, forced to the bottom of the caste system as the Brahminic cults took off. Like, I believe they SAY it's not racial, but, by and large, you'll find more descendants of the Indo-Aryans (lighter-skinned migrants into India from the Caucasus, which is where we get the word 'Caucasian", by the way)in the twice-born castes, which means the higher-caste people, than in the lower ones. Hemant, you were a Jain in the first place, so this doesn't apply to you, since the Shramana/renouncer traditions (Jainism and Buddhism) also renounced caste, but depending on where your ancestors were from is an easy-ish way to judge. But I do know a woman who actually came to Canada from the Tamil Nadu (southern India: the horn reaching down off the bottom) who was upper-caste before she left the faith, because she married a no-caste man and her parents didn't like it.
8. Well, he's either high or a plagiarist. Or both.
9. Oh hey, look who has patrons. Nice.
I like to call this Book of the Bible; Original Left Behind rather than the Book of Revelations.
I like to call it "Oh, they had shrooms then too".
I skipped to the end of the Bible when I was a kid. I was like 9 or 10 at the time, the Gulf War had jumped off, the ATF had paid a visit to some cultists in Waco, Texas, and I thought the world was totally going to end and that the 4 horsemen were about to start some shit.
Jesus said he was not here to bring peace, but a sword. I guess he ate his sword?!?
I found this very funny 😂 🤣
You made me spit out my food... 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
Great sarcasm 😂💯
My dad is a big Spanish catholic. He tells me last night, “the world has always been in war, why are you talking about that.” Yea dad because the bible/book saids it’s all okay. 😳
