Previously quoted:
Revelations 7, verses 1-3:
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
2: Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea,
3: saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads."
Please allow me to point out the interesting parallels of bashing other religious that are in the bible and of most diffidently in Revelations:
• tattooing sacred symbols upon ones' brow (druids, wiccans, pagens, hindu's, egyptians) is NOT a mark of the "beast" of "devil" as the Bible wants to pound into readers heads that people with these marks are evil. NOT.
• Isn't it interesting that the mark of the Beast is the astrological symbol for the Zodiac sign Cancer, which is actaully three, 9's, nine being a powerful number. If you go down the mutiplication table using the number nine you will see in interesting thing occur:
1 x 9 = 9 (9 + 0=9)
2 x 9= 18 (1 + 8 = 9)
3 x 9= 27 (2 + 7 = 9)
4 x 9 = 36 (3 + 6 =9) and so on . . .
• four archangels at the four corners holding back the wind, etc. . . once again a reference to Earth worshippers (the calling of corners) the Bible portrays the power of Earth forces in a negative way . . . then God says don't hurt the Earth until we've branded them evil do'ers?!
