(This chapter contains dreadful predictions, many of which have already come true. If you are part of a society run by an evil system, you can expect to suffer any time, even if you are "innocent", because society as a whole is guilty.)

(Jesus as an example for a selfless attitude and his teachings as the only realistic way into the future.)

(Mount Zion is the symbol for Jewish culture, which includes Christianity and Islam. This vision confirms the importance of the teachings of Jesus for our common culture, see 22:16.)

(12×12×1000, 12 is the number of holiness, the other 12 refers to the 12 tribes of Israel, 1000 symbolizes a large number, see 5:5, 7:4.)

(This is symbolic and not to be understood literally as in the case of the Mark of the Beast: these people have the morals and principles of God according to the teachings of Jesus on their minds, see 9:4, 13:16, 22:4.)

(This loud sound symbolizes the spiritual force of God's people.)

(a minority of God's chosen ones, see 7:4)

(adopted a new way of thinking, see 5:9, Isaiah 42:10.)

(which is impossible to understand for selfish, materialistic people.)

(about God)

(about life on earth. Four is the number of earth, and the number of the elemental spirits. The four living creature represent the whole of earth's creation and the four elements.)

(And about the spiritual world, the 24 elders represent all the spirits below God.)

(which means relationships based on one-sided or mutual exploitation and abuse)

(They follow the teachings of Jesus in every aspect of life.)

(They were saved from the general corruption of thinking and from many disasters happening today.)

(They have a particular importance for the New Age.)

(This angel represents all the sources of divine messages like the one you can see here: Look at the scrolling text in status bar at the bottom of the screen.)

(like the radio waves that brought this message to your screen)

(which is normal on the Internet)

(Worshipping does not mean going to church to watch meaningless rituals that make you feel bored or miserable. Real worship is getting excited and having fun. The god you worship is shown by your actions in everyday life. These days popular gods are the ego and the Unholy Trinity as explained below. Worshipping God means living according to divine morals and principles as pronounced by Jesus and many other Jewish prophets.)

(As the many natural, political and economical disasters show, we have reached a stage in history, where life can no longer continue as usual not even for the next 20 years. All the evil perpetrated in 4 million years of human history finally strikes back to force a new way of life and thinking on us.)

(These days worshipping God means adopting a new way not doing the things condemned in verse 9, ff.)

(This angel represents the divine verdict about the history and future of Britain as an example for our whole present "Western Culture" in general. This culture is British by its origin and nature.)

(The British ideology of greed known as "Liberalism" has taken over the world thruough the British Empire, the Freemasons and many bourgeois revolutions instigated by them and finally today throught the manipulative power of the media, see 13:3, 17:2, 18:3, 19:2.)

(The message of this angel can be understood very well in Britain, Canada, Australia, etc. but it also applies to the rest of the world. He identifies the Unholy Trinity of modern Life.)

(The "Queen" is a typical example for a person who becomes the object of operetta style worshipping rituals. Modern admiration for celebrities, Superstars and champions means worshipping a person like a god. This recent phenomenon of our modern media age is always a lethal sin, no matter who is worshipped, and the history of Princess Diana is an example of the disastrous consequences of this worship, see Isaiah 42:17. The Bible condemns people who worship the "Queen", because they sin against the First Commandment, "Worship no god but me", see Exodus 20:3. Worshipping false gods leads to mad and immoral behaviour. Certainly this is not the personal fault of the "Queen", and apart from the name 'Beast' there is nothing in the Revelation to condemn her.)

(Money the picture of the "Queen" can be found on every British, Canadian, etc. coin and banknote. It is the one picture found most often on various currencies today and therefore symbol for money in general in the Book of Revelation, see 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, Habakkuk 1:16. Worshipping money is the current religion throughout the world uniting Jews, Christians, Muslims and Atheists into a synagogue, church or mosque of Satan, see 2:9 and 3:9)

(either the name of the Beast: "ELIZABETH" or the initials of her name: "E II R", see 13:16)

(As predicted Police in most parts of Britain have E II R as a badge on their helmets, which means they wear it on their foreheads. In Britain E II R also stands for the ideology and the institutions of the State, see 12:7)

(as British money, see 20:4.)

(Everyone in Britain and other places today can expect to become a victim of violent crime as God's revenge for a long-standing and unchanged wicked way of life and for worshipping the Unholy Trinity as above, see 16:19.)

(Explosives contain sulfur, burning sulfur symbolizes violence of guns and bombs: riots, terrorist attacks, rampaging gunmen, wars and civil war. This prediction came true on 15th June 1996: During the ritual worship of the Beast, her birthday parade known as "Trooping the Colours", a massive car bomb exploded in Manchester injuring 220 people.)

(When these disasters happen, they will happen under the influence of divine, spiritual forces.)

(Our age will be remembered for its violence and disasters for thousands of years to come, see 19:3.)

(fear to become a victim of violence, crime and other problems)

(people who worship the "Queen" on occasions like anniversaries in Britain and people who worship superstars everywhere else.)

(British, Canadian, Australian money and money in general)

(Nobody living in Britain can expect to stay unharmed. While the other disastrous predictions only use Britain as an example and apply to the whole world, this last part of verse 11 only applies to Britain.)

(God's people may also be affected by the disasters meant to stir up the shallow and punish the evil ones, and they must accept it. In our evil world today there is no such thing as an innocent person: anyone can be affected any time, see 18:4.)

(Losing one's life in the struggle of good against evil can be regarded as a blessing, see 5:12, 6:11, 12:11.)

(They will be rewarded at the first resurrection, see 20:5+6, and on judgment day.)

(cloud is a mixture of elements: air meaning thinking and water meaning emotions, especially love, which means this person is intelligent and compassionate, see 1:7)

(predicted by Jesus as another Son of Man [and of woman], e.g. Luke 17:24 ff.)

(a political leader)

(controlling significant financial resources)

(The sickle is the symbol of the element of water meaning love, but it also has an aggressive meaning, because it can cut. This person is compassionate to the victims, but without mercy to the evil ones. This messianic sickle was later adopted as heraldic sign by the Muslims and the Soviet Union, see 6:2, Isaiah 41:2.)

(Enough people have suffered to qualify for the next stage of existence, see the 5th seal, it is now time to retaliate and beat the guilty ones.)

(wealthy people)

(were punished for making the poor suffer)

(was able to cause destruction through wars or other violence)

(Enough people have suffered, it is now time to retaliate and beat the guilty ones; repeating this statement means that the war against the rich to take revenge for the victims of poverty will not only be down to the one political leader predicted above in verse 14, but it will be a general course of events throughout the world.)

(caught wealthy and wicked people)

(treated them as they deserved, see 19:15.)

(A large number was killed, see Isaiah 42:23, Habakkuk 2:4.)
