Never was a religious person, but started to read Bible recently, and here's some thoughts, maybe even from a little crazy side. There's two main sides of the book, one is narrative-based (describing events, happennings, meetings and such), and the other is highly cryptic (quotes from Jesus, parables, some of them stand out, like Matthew 13:15). It almost feels like some hidden communication. The thing is that out-of-place thingies, passages that are really weird, they tend to resonate with current events. Maybe because they were cyptic the first place, maybe because of mistranslation. Almost to the extent that it feels it is not a book about past events, but a book of prophecy. So, now the crazy dive. Now imagine a delta of 2000 years. Could it happen?

This is the third time the Evil is being fought against, and its the same Evil the first two times.
First time the Evil took the form of Egyptian Pharoahs, and God with the help of Moses defeated them and showed them the right path and made them free. One of the things He showed was the art of Gold.
Second time, ironically it was that art of Gold that allowed the Evil to flourish. It came in the form of money lenders who used Usury to oppress fellow humans. This time God helped in the form of Jesus. Jesus banished the Bankers from the temple and taught the people what they were doing was wrong. Bankers were mad and got the king to crucify Him and the rest was history. This time the teachings included not using Usury, and staying on the moral path.
It took 2000 years, but the Evil found a new way to oppress humanity. Instead of Usury (predatory lending to individuals) they used Central Banking (predatoy lending to governments) and managed to capture the whole world. Luckily, God is helping us in the form of Q.
Each time there were miracles performed that opened the eyes of the people. This time will be no different. We are almost at the precipice. And there will be a Miracle that will deliver us and defeat Evil. Hopefully this time the Good can prevail for 10,000 years.
1,000 years.
Revelation 20:1-15 1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
