Kingdom Come

“And after these things [6th seal extinction event] I [John] saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth.” (Revelation 7:1)

In a similar situation described by Daniel, four winds are spirit beings, established by the clue given that they are “of the heaven” and “being caused to fly swiftly“, and confirmed by the account that two of them are Gabriel and Michael who strive with two of the four evil beasts.

“Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold,

• the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. 
• And four great beasts came up from the sea” (Daniel 7)

In contrast, the four angels in Revelation are on earth, party to the extinction event of the 6th seal and therefore members of the adversary’s army.

“And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

The post on Jeshurun details the hidden identity of the northern ten tribes of Israel as Gentiles. Only God knows their heritage.

The biblical report of the blurring of Jewish ancestry into non-Jewish ethnicities has been validated by recent genetic studies showing that contemporary Jews are not a genetically “pure” ethnic group, but are descendants of globally dispersed Diaspora communities.

Jewish family trees have clearly discernible European/Syrian/North African and Middle Eastern branches, while Turkish, Greek, and Italian Jews shared a common branch. The North African populations added a sub-branch which bifurcated into Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisian, Djerban, Libyan sub-branches.

We can extrapolate from this data that many descendants of these dispersed Jews who lost their Jewish identity in the Diaspora are still genetically as “Jewish” as those who maintained their Jewish faith and practice.

“the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication…a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy…And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

“And there came one of the seven angels…I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore…that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth…upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth…

I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.” (Revelation 17:1-7)

Although the great whore’s name doesn’t come up until her judgment, since her criminal activities occurred during the reign of the 7-headed 10-horned king it is helpful to intersect her story chronologically to get the whole portrait from the beginning. 

Let’s go through this complex individual’s identity one attribute at a time.

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution via natural selection inspired countless more progressivist and spiritual versions of evolution to arise, ‘substitute-religions’ (Rose, 1986, pp. 1–4), which tried to find new sources of meaning, myth, ethics and purpose in an evolutionary universe (Bowler, 2003, pp. 237; Midgley, 1985, pp. 15–19).

These science-religions appealed to the authority of evolution as previous religions had appealed to the authority of God.

Evolutionary spirituality is a tradition within the broader culture of New Age spirituality, which asserts that human evolution is not finished and can be guided towards the creation of higher beings through such techniques as meditation, psychedelics and eugenics or genetic modification (Ferguson, 1981, pp. 157–162; Herrick, 2003, pp. 118–148; Huston, 2007; Hubbard, 2015).
