Comments on Revelation, Chapter 19:

Victory of the Messianic Movement

The first part continues chapter 15: Spirits and souls comment on human history as it has just happened in the previous chapter. God is praised for the destruction of "Babylon", the great city, from where wickedness was spread throughout the world. Then the Lamb has his wedding. He has chosen a suitable bride who qualified because of her good deeds. Eventually the "Queen" and her Prime Minister, the False Prophet are overthrown. The Rider on the White Horse defeats them with words, the (s)word that comes out of his mouth.

Nostradamus predicted in II:89 that to the man of blood (The Rider on the White Horse) the number (the identity of the Beast 666) is reported, when the new land (USA) will be at the height of its power, which probably means that he or she will be among the readers of this document.

Who and what is a Messiah?

The traditional idea of the Messiah has lead to unreasonable and dangerous ideas: Since Moses Jewish prophets have pronounced devastating criticism against the political establishment of their time. This criticism has been the foundation of Jewish culture an its historical progress. Jesus was one of these prophets, but he was abused by "Christian" theologians and the church to abolish this tradition and serve the misguided interests of the ruling classes: Nobody should ever follow the example of ancient prophets. Just wait for Jesus to come back and everything will be all right.

This "Christian" heresy has been so effective that it may well destroy the historic progress of the 10 Commandments, which is now crucial for our survival as a species: Before Moses people created artificial gods, worshipped their images and sacrificed human beings to them. Today money is our universal god, finance managers are his priests and victims of poverty are sacrificed by the Millions to this god every year. Modern media lead many of us to insanity and make us worship pictures of superstars. Theology is preoccupied with meaningless dogmas and has detached itself from the real world.

People have been lead to believe that suddenly all the evil in this world will be abolished by a direct interference from God, the second coming of Christ. Jesus will then come back as a kind of Superman flying through the air on a white horse.

There are several problems about this belief:

• Even if the churches have been cramming this idea into peoples' minds for many centuries, even if there is to be "tons of scripture" to support this view, there is no guarantee that it will actually happen. Some people may still get high shouting "Jesus is Lord", while the world around them is literally falling to pieces. The Bible is first of all the word of the people who wrote it, secondly the result of a selection: some 1500 years ago it was decided, which books to keep in the Bible, and which ones to leave out. Third, Bible interpretations depend on the translation. If the authors editors and translators claim they knew the word of God, they may be right, but this has to be proved first. This book gives you plenty of evidence for the reliability of the Book of Revelation, but it does not necessarily prove that every single sentence in the Bible is the word of God.

• The second problem: thinking there is nothing we can or need to do, because eventually Jesus will come and fix it. This view may lead to irresponsible behaviour, because there is a lot we can do, and one of the most important things is to fight against unreasonable ideas and attitudes. This is what Jesus was doing in his time and this is what he wanted us to do: follow his example.

• Nobody has ever been born as a Messiah or a prophet. Instead this role is something you can decide to pursue like Jesus did some 2000 years ago. Our world needs prophets as urgently as never before. If the culture which was founded on the 10 Commandments 4000 years ago fails, humanity will have no future either.

Millions of people have been waiting for the arrival of a Messiah for many centuries. Today, if anybody claims it was him, he would probably end up in a psychiatric hospital. Realistically we should not expect that our world will be saved single-handed by one person. Whoever wants to achieve anything will need many supporters. This book gives you some ideas, what you can do to join this club of messianic people. Their aim will be to fulfil the legacy of all Bible prophets from Moses till Jesus including Mohammed, Karl Marx and others and:

• abolish the Money Cult, the international, universal religion of our time

• prevent the destruction of our planet and rescue Humanity from self-destruction by ...

• ... going back to the common roots of our culture and reunite Jews, Christians and Muslims

Time to achieve this is running short and the question of who will end up leader does not matter. What matters is that this new way of thinking must be spread in time, before it is too late.
