Locusts
2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, [even] to the years of many generations.
3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land [is] as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; and nothing shall escape them.
4. The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8. Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. |
|
All their faces hard
9. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11. And the LORD will utter his voice before his army: for his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

all marching in ranks
11. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes to destruction.
12. And the ten horns which thou saw are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast.
14. These will make war with the Lamb, and they will overcome: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.
15. And he said to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and languages.
16. And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17. For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18. And the woman whom you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.

Babylon has fallen
1. AFTER THIS I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor.
2. And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird;
3. for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness."
4. Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues;
5. for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6. Render to her as she herself has rendered, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double draught for her in the cup she mixed.
7. As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in her heart she says, 'A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,'
8. so shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."
9. And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning;
10. they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has thy judgment come."
11. And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo any more,
12. cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,
13. cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.
14. "The fruit for which thy soul longed has gone from thee, and all thy dainties and thy splendor are lost to thee, never to be found again!"
15. The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16. "Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!
17. In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off
18. and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the great city?"
19. And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.
20. Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!"
21. Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and shall be found no more; |

Everything will come to pass
1. THUS SAYS the Lord: "Behold, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon, against the inhabitants of Chaldea;
2. and I will send to Babylon winnowers, and they shall winnow her, and they shall empty her land, when they come against her from every side on the day of trouble.
3. Let not the archer bend his bow, and let him not stand up in his coat of mail. Spare not her young men; utterly destroy all her host.
4. They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and wounded in her streets.
5. For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the Lord of hosts; but the land of the Chaldeans is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6. "Flee from the midst of Babylon, let every man save his life! Be not cut off in her punishment, for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance, the requital he is rendering her.
7. Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand, making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine, therefore the nations went mad.
8. Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken; wail for her! Take balm for her pain; perhaps she may be healed.
9. We would have healed Babylon, but she was not healed. Forsake her, and let us go each to his own country; for her judgment has reached up to heaven and has been lifted up even to the skies.
10. The Lord has brought forth our vindication; come, let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
11. "Sharpen the arrows! Take up the shields! The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it, for that is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for his temple.
12. Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon; make the watch strong; set up watchmen; prepare the ambushes; for the Lord has both planned and done what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13. O you who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come, the thread of your life is cut.
14. The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself: Surely I will fill you with men, as many as locusts, and they shall raise the shout of victory over you.
15. "It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
16. When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
17. Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols; for his images are false, and there is no breath in them.
18. They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.

The redeemed of the earth are as many as locusts
5. See ye among the nations, and behold, and wonder marvellously; for I work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be declared to you.
6. For behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, which marcheth through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.
7. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8. And their horses are swifter than the leopards, and are more agile than the evening wolves; and their horsemen prance proudly, and their horsemen come from afar: they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour.
9. They come all of them for violence: the crowd of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the sand.
10. Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a scorn unto him; he derideth every stronghold: for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it.
11. Then will his mind change, and he will pass on, and become guilty: this his power is become his +god.
12. -- Art thou not from everlasting, Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast appointed him for correction. |

My people has risen like an enemy.
1. Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is at hand;
2. a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; -- a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and generations.
3. A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as a garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing escapeth them.
4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run.
5. Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains, they leap; like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6. Before them the peoples are in anguish: all faces turn pale.
7. They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and break not their ranks.
8. Neither doth one press upon another; they march every one in his path; and fall amid weapons, but are not wounded.
9. They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief.
10. The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
11. And Jehovah uttereth his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for strong is he that executeth his word: for the day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who can bear it?

This is how the pyramids were built
Trestles and pulleys were used to lift and move the rocks. Not rolling logs or other esoteric unknown method. The legs were moved by rocking the stone, shifting the weight to the front legs, when moving the read legs, and to the read legs when moving the front ones. Simple and efficient. Pictures of ancient stones having notches placed every foot or so proves that this is how these large boulders were moved. |

Death itself is conquered.
Life and death issues should be decided by the king, not by pagans...
When death is conquered... when will the righteous conquer death? When will the righteous have to power to decide who lives and who dies? How long will tbe righteous be at the mercy of teh wicked? As long as they remain apart and blind. That's how long they will be at the mercy of their enemy. So the worthless decide who lives and who dies because the righteous do not gather together, and so they are destroyed.
