I think we have come to an halt at chapter 10 of Revelation. I think that we have caught up to what is going on in the manner that lets us decode things. I am saying this as a man who does not have the spirit of divination but who has an enquiring mind with enough power to piece together the obvious as any man can.
This is not a gift I have because I am special; for all men who ask god for anything are in a position to receive the crumbs that fall from his table. By "men" I mean mankind, all mankind from all races and tribes and tongues and I mean women too, there is no difference to this blessing as far as understanding is open to the reception of any one that chooses life.
I have no special powers, I have only discerned what is going on in the earth just because I am interested in earth-science. Someone who is interested in a different aspect of human achievement might be able to bring a different level of discernment to the table and in this way offer a comment and in doing so save their own life and pass it on by helping save another.
In which case I say: Listen to whoever you can but you have to make your own judgement calls and the only way that you can be sure of not failing is to make sure that you are asking god for his help. Be careful that you are not misled or mistaken.
But once you decide to take certain steps you need to see how you are going and decide on embracing the path. When you see that you are on the right track get out of the boat and walk on the water. That is how to tell for sure. It is the only way. Anyone who looks back is not worthy of Christ.
How do I know that?
Because I went to the river. The difference with a river and a still pool of water is that the river is going somewhere.
"Someone who is interested in a different aspect of human achievement might be able to bring a different level of discernment to the table and in this way offer a comment and in doing so save their own life and pass it on by helping save another." Do you know what they call that?
Doing something like that "passing on a favour". You know how you feel when someone does you a favour and does it because it is the thing to do, not because he can make a profit out of you.
That is a cascade. The more the merrier until a crowd of you get carried away with all this spirit of "doing favours". "Paying it forwards". Do you know what that's called?
We just discussed something like that:
Unchain the four angels at the Euphrates. The great river of Great-Rivers.
Chapter 22 the conclusion:
And errors.
A torrent of lies and abuse and pornography and everything and truth. The Internet of things for content, anything man can imagine, every aspect. The good and the bad all mixed, with nobody to help anyone sort it all out.
I was quite surprised how short the book of Revelation was until I tried a word count. Just under 10,000 words. I have written blogs as long as 1000 words. And in the writing club we had to keep any stories we wrote down to 500 words for a review although longer ones were encouraged. It is surprisingly difficult to write a story of 500 words. They make the better blogs though.

We just discussed something like that:
Unchain the four angels at the Euphrates. The great river of Great-Rivers.
Chapter 22 the conclusion:
And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, running out of the throne of God and the Lamb through the middle of its main avenue; and on this side of the river and on that side were trees of life producing twelve crops of fruit, bringing in their fruit each month; and the leaves of the trees were for curing the diseases of the nations.I missed the bit about the ban but until I catch up we can work it out I believe. The great river Great River was the one given to man to make of it what he could without god's blessing. A river flooded with people and all their thoughts and histories.
And there will no longer be any ban. And the throne of God and the Lamb will be in it; and his servants, his name on their foreheads, will worship him and see his face. And there will no longer be night, and they do not need lamplight and sunlight, because the Lord God will light them; and they will reign forever and ever.
And errors.
A torrent of lies and abuse and pornography and everything and truth. The Internet of things for content, anything man can imagine, every aspect. The good and the bad all mixed, with nobody to help anyone sort it all out.
Become a part of the torrent:
And he said to me
“These words are true and trustworthy, and the Lord, the God of the prophets’ spirits, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place. And lo, I am coming quickly. Happy is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
And it was I, John, who heard and saw these things; and when I heard and saw, I threw myself down to do reverence before the feet of the angel who was showing me these things, and he said to me
“See that you do not! I am a fellow-servant with you and your brothers the prophets and those who keep the words of this book; do reverence to God.”
And he said to me:
“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is near. Let the wronger still wrong and the grimy still go grimy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still act holily: lo, I am coming quickly, with my pay with me to pay each as his work is.
I am the A and the Z, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Happy are those who wash their robes, that their rights may extend to the trees of life and they may enter the city by the gates; outside are the dogs and the witchcraft-users and the libertines and the murderers and the idolaters and everybody who loves falsehood and does it. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony over the churches. I am the root and line of David, the bright morning star.”
And the Spirit and the Bride are saying “Come!” and let him who hears say “Come!” and whoever is thirsty, come! take water of life free, whoever will! I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book that if one puts anything on to it God will put on him the scourges that are written in this book, and if one takes anything away from the words of the book of this prophecy God will take his portion away from the trees of life, and from the sacred city, that are written in this book. Says he who gives this testimony:
“Yes, I am coming quickly.”
Amen: come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.
