The Most Famous Person of All Times

(This chapter can be understood as dealing among other things with Princess Diana. In verses 1,2 and 3 the prophet has a vision introducing the Woman in symbolic language: nationality, name and attitudes she represented.)

(The sun is a symbol for the element of fire, so is the lion. England is the country with the Lion symbol, which can also be called the country of the sun. "Clothed with the sun" can mean she was English. Red is the colour symbolizing fire.)

(In Roman Mythology Diana is the goddess of the moon. The moon is also a symbol for the element of water. Traditionally the "Virgin" Mary has often been portrayed standing on a Moon crescent. Unlike my explanation traditional theology has no facts to link Mary to the moon and to this chapter of the Revelation.)

(In the Bible "stars" is often the symbol of the Jews [including Christians, because Jesus was a Jew]. The number 12 symbolizes holiness. Head symbolizes thinking and attitudes.)

(In Roman Mythology Diana is also the goddess of childbirth. The woman giving birth clothed with the sun has been connected to the fact that Prince William's birthday is 21^st June, the summer solstice.)

(The sign of Wales referring to the title "Princess of Wales". However the Dragon is also a symbol of evil, particularly the evil culture. Red is the colour of fire. Here chapter 12 has its first turning point: Now it continues with evil perpetrated by the various dragons.)

(Seven is the number of magic and occultism. Head is a symbol for thinking and culture, seven heads means that the culture includes occult means, e.g. commercial manipulation of people's subconscious minds through the media.)

(Ten is the number of perfection, horn symbolizes power, ten horns means perfect power, see also 13:1, 17:3, 17:12.)

(The important difference to the beast from 13:1 and 17:3 is that the Beast has the crowns on its horns, while the Dragon has them on its heads. This means that the Dragon represents the cultural background, while the beast represents the state and political power. Both of them have seven heads and ten horns, which means they represent the same system.)

(One third is the reciprocal value of three, the opposite of the number of God. One third means the ungodly part, see 8:7, 9:1, 9:15. In the Bible stars are a symbol for Jews and Christians, see 2:1. The evil culture of the Dragon has caused an ungodly part of the Jews and Christians to be materialistic, earth orientated, see 8:10, 8:12, 9:1.)

(The Red Dragon is also the heraldic sign of the Prince of Wales.)

(In the symbolic language of the Bible birth may include the whole process of upbringing.)

(gain control over)

(Modern weapons are largely made of iron, see 2:27, 19:15.)

(There seems to be a contradiction between "ruling all the nations with an iron sceptre" and being "snatched up to God and to his throne". As the next verse shows the fate of individuals is not completely predetermined. To some extent the Son has a choice to decide which way to go.)

(left her country)

(Three and a half years, numbers have symbolic meaning: 3 is the number of God, 4 is the number of earth, for three and a half years means until God's power comes to the earth. This predicted possibility did not materialize: she could have been taken care of abroad, but she decided against it, see verse 14.)

(The second turning point of this chapter: heaven here symbolizes the element of air: the spirituality of people, their ideas and the way they think. The Internet as the facility for people to exchange ideas with little interference belongs to the element of air. This war might largely be fought on the Internet and the electronic book in front of you may turn out to be a powerful weapon.)

(In Germany "Michael" is the stereotype for any German. The name Michael can be translated: "Who is like God", which means that this person exposes false gods such as the Dragon, see 13:4, money, celebrities, see 14:9, and self-declared "Lords", see 13:6, 19:16, see also Daniel 10 and 12.)

(supporters; according to chapter 2 and 3 "angels" symbolize important people.)

(Evil and destructiveness especially in the City of the Dragon, where it originated. According to 13:4 the Dragon is worshipped as a false god.)

(supporters, especially his speaker, the Beast)

(8 weeks after this book went on the Internet, on 6/3/97 the Beast and her supporters started to fight back with their site on the Internet, which is supposed to overpower you with pictures and meaningless personal details of these Superstars to promote their worship in fulfilment of 14:9.)

(Destructiveness is first abolished in the way people think and their culture, see 21:2.)

(By attacking the Woman, endangering and not protecting her life the Dragon has exposed his previously hidden satanic nature, which leads to his final overthrow, see 6:2.)

(the political leader who rules according to the principles and teachings of Jesus and other prophets)

(The Dragon representing evil people who like to tell or print lies about others; soon we will see how the British Press symbolized by the Dragon printed lies and libel about the Woman.)

(through these lies)

(This verse suggests that abuses by the British Press may well be an important factor contributing to the downfall of this political system.)

(The ideas and political principles pronounced by Jesus despite the foreseeable threat to his life. However the one sided insistence on Jesus is a trick by corrupt theologians to restrict the meaning of religion to the past and metaphysics for the benefit of the ruling class who pay them. We should understand the lamb as a symbol for any innocent victim of ruthlessness killing people for their opinions or their kindness. In our time this particularly applies to Princess Diana, whose death will have far ranging political effects that may well bring down the Dragon and the two Beasts, see 5:6, 5:12, 6:11, 14:13.)

(demanding that the world should be ruled according to these principles)

(They did not mind persecution.)

(intellectuals and spiritually orientated people)

(people who mainly live for the sake of material gain)

(people who are under the control of troublesome and threatening emotions)

(the force of destruction)

(affecting the way people make their living, their emotions and the consequences of their actions)

(The New World and the New Age will be preceded by a period of severe political, environmental, natural and individual disasters even worse than the ones you can see in the news every day, see 15:8, 20:2.)

(The Dragon had been weakened and a new way of thinking began to gain momentum.)

(Diana was the most pursued woman of all times.)

(symbol of the divine power of "Jupiter", one of the Spirits of God, which is relevant for politics. The eagle is also the sign of countries like USA, Germany, etc., see 8:13, Isaiah 46:11.)

(she could have but she didn't)

(go abroad)

(See above verse 6.)

(The mouth symbolizes the spoken and written word.)

(The element of "water" symbolizes emotions, especially love.)

(Here it is worth remembering that the dragon is the sign of  "The City of London" symbolizing all the businesses including the Press. There is also a statue of the Dragon in Fleet Street, the traditional centre of the British Press, which is situated at the previous site of a river. The attack with "water" against the Woman could therefore reflect attacks in the Press with more or less fabricated love affairs leading to the excessive media attention to her love life which killed her. For example: Richard Littlejohn wrote in the Daily Mail on 12/1/1996 about the attitude of the Press towards Diana:

On 18/8/95 he wrote about Diana's alleged love affair with the English Rugby captain W. Carling under the headline: "THIS SILLY WOMAN IS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE"; on 23/12/1995 the Daily Mirror called Diana on page 9 "Queen of Tarts"; on 2/5/96 The Sun came up with the amazing headline: "Bulimic Di devours men like food, then she spits them out", see 2:9, 16:13.)

(The element of earth does not only mean money, but everything from this world including the human body. Diana was very "earth" orientated, dedicated to a life of luxury deliberately gaining her importance mainly from her looks and the money she could raise for charities. This situation caused her much aggravation, because she was libelled and exploited for commercial purposes in a ruthless way by the press with photographers stalking her 24 hours a day. Various nervous breakdowns in public did not make them come to their senses and they continued until she was dead. Nevertheless she completely ignored my written suggestions to improve the situation. Had she done otherwise, the Book of Revelation would have been wrong about her. It would then have been the air that helped the Woman.)

(People who still support and uphold the ideas and attitudes Diana stood for.)
