Revelation Annotations: Apocalypsofa, #2

By Kalliope Veign

Kalliope, regular goddess of eloquence, hits up the Archangel of Revelations to get their side of the whole "Apocalypse," the story so far.

Contains the apocryphical book of the bible, the Revelations of John of Patmos, with personal thoughts and commentary interjected throughout to give clarity on the metaphorical symbols revealed to Johnny whilst he was stuck on the bog.

We all keep talking about the end of the world, and as far as I know, I've been told it'll be fine. 

But what about you? Are you doomed? *shrugs*

Part 1 – Welcome to the Revelation Revolution.

Chapter 1 – John receives visions of Jesus’ revelations.

Predictive and poetic doomsday predilections. Who else is more suited to reveal the revelations than the herald of heaven and hell? I am the angel of death, the guardian of gates, the keeper of keys. I am the meta-alchemist-linguist live in the world's south-east.

¹The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, ²who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

That’s just fine, I have my own antichrist manifesto which I wrote myself.

¹²I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, ¹³and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 

Like a son of man, more like a daughter. I am the sun of man, and my tongue is my subtle sword. The double-edged sword refers to the double-meaning that words can have. Just as words can be used to illuminate, they can be used to manipulate and obscure.

¹⁴The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. ¹⁵His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. ¹⁶In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

My voice so powerful and sublime that it washes over you, you hear me with your soul. Like a babbling brook, rapids rushing, the sound of the wind as it descends and moves across the surface of the seas. Also, I’ve described my feet as exploding, before as they tend to get very hot and uncomfortable due to circulation (and diabetes) problems. I stand in the fires and turn the world’s wheel.

¹⁷When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. ¹⁸I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

I was dead inside then I was reborn and came to life. I was here before, way back in the beginning. I was the first of my kind of creation. A pleasure to be back and to share my words with you again.

¹⁹"Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. ²⁰The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Quick, get this down before you forget. The seven stars represent celestial bodies (2 luminaries and the 5 visible planets). These could be angels, or beacons of light to lead the righteous divine. The seven lampstands are mere placeholders, representative of the inner light one must shine. This can also represent the 7 days of the week.

It is the combination of 5 areas, aspects or facets and the two ways in which one can proceed. For everything can be understood in terms of how it relates to something else. Therefore the 7 lights and the 7 lampstands. You are either a light, or you are a holder of the light. You are one or the other. If you do not like this metaphor, then replace the words with something else.

Aside....

The essence of this particular message is that you are (you are alive, you exist) and you choose (you live, the activity of the mind). The other five things relate to the expression of your existence on the physical plane of reality. You decide what school of thought, metaphor or generalised theme you apply to this rule of 5 in whatever way makes the most sense to you for your understanding.

Part 2 – Letters to 7 Churches

Chapters 2-3 – The letters to the seven churches of Asia.

Ihave also written and published on my page my own Epistles which was a series of 7 emails I had sent to two people, and an open letter to the universe (really, it was a personal journal entry) expressing my thoughts and intentions...

ANYWAY!

John basically talks about what the other churches are doing right or wrong, revealing judgments and their destined fates if they continue the way they are. In my letters, I wrote about myself; I made my introductions and shared my story, seeking guidance or assistance as to which way I should traverse
