"A kind of theological and scriptural DNA can be extracted from the text of Revelation, and its bloodlines can be traced back to far older and even stranger texts that were regarded as sacred long before the author of Revelation was inspired to speak out loud about his vision of the end of the world" A History of THe End of The World

Although apocalyptic themes can be traced to the Zoroastrian religion of ancient Persia, it took the Hebrew idea of a God working through history to give the vision real purchase. Apocalyptic writing actually emerged rather late in the Hebrew tradition, though it borrowed from the earlier literature of prophecy. But instead of pointing to a future earthly kingdom under a god-anointed king, as the prophets had done, apocalyptic visionaries proposed an otherworldly paradise and offered a new explanation for evil in the world, elevating Satan from a mere tempter (Genesis) or accuser (Job) to the full-blown adversary of God and the source of all evil.

John at Patmos... he drank too much symbology there...

all them crazy Christian texts!

course the world's gonna end- Exxon's end of days!

I doubt if I will finish it
my eyes bigger than my brain


James Hagee, a Christian Zionist preacher
goes on with his Jerusalem count down, he can tell you what it all means, Russian is this beast, and Iran is this and the USA is another. and of course we all know who Israel is.

And in that book about the history of the end of the world the author talks about those who are "fucking with the sacred symbols"

I had a conversation with one of the maintenance men here, no longer a Catholic he says, now he is a protestant. But he still goes on about Satan a lot. I wanted to do my Shadow impersonation for him..."who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men." But I didn't.



Yeah it sounds like a trip arcadia, I never read the book myself.

All that talk about the whore of Babylon sounds like another typical male rant, blame it on her.

The author who wrote that book has another book called The Harlot by the Side of The Road, that is a catchy title too.

course the world's gonna end- Exxon's end of days!

I also like this bit from a seventies comedy album

…”Oh Heavenly Grid, help us bear up thy Standard! Thy Chevron flashing bright across the Gulf of compromise, as we stand here in this Richfield of Mobil, American thinking, here in this Shell, we call life”…Part of a prayer offered by Pastor Rod Flash of the Powerhouse Church of the Presumptuous Assumption of the Blinding Light.

From The Firesign Theater - “Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers”

I wonder what ever happened to Rockefeller's Standard Oil of New Jersey? So much for trust busting. All those oil companies have merged back into one or two again.


on an unrelated personal note:
You know e-dog I thought about you the other day when I made a bad mistake, a violation of Net-etiquette .
