Book of Revelation
1
KJV: And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
“whore” means spiritual adultery, i.e., prostitute (same as harlot) meaning this woman sells herself for money by working outside the home, selling of skills, not of the body.
(NIV)
I live by the Great Lakes and America’s womanly symbol (of freedom) sits in the harbor.

2
KJV: 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.
I cheated on my legal husband two times. The first time because he was not coming home at night and I felt he was cheating on me, while we were separated I caught him in our apartment in Steger with another woman – she was wearing his yellow dress shirt. The second time was when I had filed for divorce in the Spring of 1990 – it was around Easter time; I remember Bob dropping off an Easter basket for Kyle and he had his girlfriend in his black truck and I had my boyfriend in the mobile home. We did not answer the door.
“made drunk with the wine of her fornication:”
[27] Wherefore whosoever shall eat
this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the
body and blood of the Lord.
[29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation
to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
I did get drunk and eat to excess and since this woman is a symbol of Babylon, and many in America are guilty of spiritual adultery. They too have become immoral by screwing people out of their incomes with overpriced merchandise, onslaught of deceptive advertising, selling products that are bad for people like cigarettes and hydrogenated oils, etc.
Furthermore, most Americans are working for financial gain and aren’t concerned with the destruction of the planet by industry.
3
KJV: So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
(NIV)
“wilderness” means a place where it is wild like in the jungle where a Lion would live.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wilderness
“scarlet coloured beast” was a 1991 GM Chevrolet Lumina Euro 3.1:
“full of names of blasphemy” means that Euro 3.1 stands for Europe (Hitler/abortion, France/RU-486) and 3.1 = 31, which is the age I was when I had my first abortion and 3.1 = 3 plus 1 babies lost due to abortions. I had all 3 Planned Parenthood abortions in the 10 years I owned this car. The color of the car is “torch red”. I would often in the summer months, roll the windows completely down and with the stereo full blast play some of my favorite songs which included “Running with the Devil” by VanHalen or “Hells Bells,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” and “Highway to Hell” by AD/DC. I had a lot of credit cards with the “mark of the beast” as well (see Rev. 13:15).
“having
seven heads and ten horns” means I hold or have them because the seven heads
belong to the seven angels of the seven churches and the ten horns (one horn
being a symbol of strength) are the seven angels plus the 3 human living beasts.
4
KJV: 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:
“the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour”:
“decked with gold and precious stones and pearls”:
Pearl
earrings from my father 12-25-76.
“having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication” – I drank what Bob bought – Miller High Life cans, which is gold in color:
“abominations and filthiness of her fornication” means that my behavior of harlotry (working outside the home for material wealth), fornication (cheated on the ex twice), drunkenness, and abortions were abominable in the sight of God.
Proverbs 6:16-19
KJV: [16] These six things doth
the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
[17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
[18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in
running to mischief,
[19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among
brethren.

5
KJV: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
“upon her forehead” is described as the place where the mark of the beast is or the number “666, ” the mark of the beast (see chapter 13). Also the place where God is to set to put his seal on the forehead of his servants.
“Babylon the great, the mother of harlots” means I am a symbol of what the world, namely America, has become, like ancient Babylon in the Bible.
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Babylonian+law
“mother of harlots and abominations of the Earth” means God is making an example out of me to describe corruption of people in America. God is angry at this behavior of women working for money and sacrificing their flesh and blood to build/buy material items and He describes this as an abomination. Of course, a man can be just as guilty of moral harlotry and sin (see 10 Commandments).
6
KJV: And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
For many years, I drank to get drunk. My behavior slandered the behavior of the saints and apostles that were martyred in the name of Jesus. They must have wondered why I had become this way.
7
KJV: And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
I, as a witness and an example, am going to explain the mystery.
8
KJV: The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
The beast is credit or debt by credit. I was a beast when I went into debt when I was younger and maxed out my credit (was ).
I paid off most of the debt except for a very small mortgage balance on the mobile home, which was probably mostly principal before Bob and Debra bought the house in Dyer (and is not). This also means that we or I am not THE Beast, but an example of it. We are all beasts of the earth, but the credit card BEAST makes us a slave to the financial economic system created by it.
“and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition” means after we bought the house, we went back into debt over our head. We purchased many household furnishings, my new car, a home equity loan, and even a swimming pool. We quickly went back into major debt so much that we could no longer live without it. During this time, we (Bob the Lion and Debra the calf) spiraled into a world of drinking, drugs and sexual perversion (perdition).
Living a life of sin plus Bob lost all his faith in God/Jesus and rebuked his name when I spoke of Jesus, making Bob an atheist. We went down, down, down. I was dead inside; I felt like a walking zombie. I had no more energy to fight and Bob was pressuring me to do sexual favors for his best friend when I was tipsy from drink. When he asked me to have intercourse with his friend (his friend refused, Thank God), that’s when I decided to resume the divorce proceedings started a year and a half earlier.
“they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is” means I was the beast, but I’m not THE BEAST, and yet is because I helped make THE BEAST what it is today and that makes me a brick in its foundation (see Chapter 13). I know this is confusing. Behold means that you can behold your image when looking into the mirror of the credit card emblem used to decorate the credit or debit card (see Rev. 13:15).
(NIV)
9
KJV: And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
The seven heads are the seven angels and they are my brothers and sisters.
10
KJV: And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
“five are fallen,” means five are not what they used to be in the sight of God due to sin and rebellion.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fallen
[4] Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
“one is,” means one is alive. This may be Barbara because she is very active in her church and she often serves the Lord by giving and helping others (see Thyatira chapter 3).
“the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.” I don’t know who this is, it has not happened yet, but I think it might be Diane since she is lacking in spiritual knowledge, but it could be Paul or any of the six remaining. Keep your eyes open for this one.
short space = 40 years: see below for explanation
This is about the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years and the Egyptians (beasts) being punished. The story is in Exodus chapter 16 where God fed quail and manna (bread) to the just released Hebrew slaves from Egypt. They wandered in the desert for 40 years.
Short space = 40 years (yet to come).
KJV: [1] Therefore by the like were they punished
worthily, and by the multitude of beasts tormented.
[2] Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own
people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails
to stir up their appetite:
[3] To the end that they, desiring food,
might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them lothe even that, which
they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a
short space,
might be made partakers of a strange taste.
[4] For it was requisite, that upon them exercising tyranny should
come penury, which they could not avoid: but to these it should only be
shewed how their enemies were tormented.
[5] For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these,
and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for
ever:
[6] But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be
admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the
commandment of thy law.
[7] For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that
he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.
[8] And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou who
deliverest from all evil:
[9] For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed,
neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be
punished by such.
[10] But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame: for
thy mercy was ever by them, and healed them.
[11] For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were
quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be
continually mindful of thy goodness.
[12] For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them
to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.
11
KJV: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
(NIV)
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/perdition
Debra was the beast (see verse 8 above). I am the last child born in the family. There were 9 siblings, but our oldest brother Alvin passed away in 1998 leaving eight of us. Now, I am the 8th.
The eighth king went into perdition (2. Archaic Utter ruin) as described above in verse 8 above. After I traded in the red car, I headed for my destruction, which was the 3 and one-half years before Bob left the house on 12-17-03. Three and one-half years on either side of the calendar is Father’s Day. Bob was a son of perdition too and two become one flesh when man and woman are married.
12
KJV: And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
The ten kings have no place in God’s kingdom yet because we are a part of the Revelation and the revealing of such came in 2007 whereas the destruction of the harlot was in 2001.
One hour is a short time; it is also the amount of time the twin towers of the World Trade Center stood after being struck by al Queda. This shows that the beast is the financial empire of America and not its government. Even though the pentagon was hit also, it was not completely destroyed in one hour’s time like the twin towers. The time of “one hour” repeats in the next two chapters.
The twin towers were publicized on television and made headlines across the world whereas the Pentagon was given little attention. Many people found out, in detail, what the twin towers housed and that they were more than just office buildings and a part of the New York skyline. We discovered the financial companies that occupied the towers and that it really was a financial empire and an icon of the financial wealth of America.
The collapse of the World Trade Center was the central event of the September 11, 2001 attacks, during which each of the twin towers was hit by a hijacked airliner. The south tower (2 WTC) collapsed at 9:59 a.m., less than an hour after being hit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center
For those that many contest that it was not one hour this should remind you that it would have taken several minutes for the dust to settle.
The ten kings did give their power to the beast because in 2001 we did all have credit cards and financial wealth. We were not working for God or his cause and did not prevent the destruction even though it came in the form of God’s judgment upon America’s financial empire. Therefore, one could say that our power at that time was “with the beast.”
A “horn” is a symbol of strength. The 10 kings are the 3 living beasts from Chapter 4 plus the 7 angels of the 7 churches from chapters 2 and 3. Jesus is “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” (see verse 14 below).
(NIV)
13
KJV: These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
“have one mind,” means that we are all like-minded, Christians,and work to provide for oneself and have credit and cars and houses and stuff.
“shall give their power and strength unto the beast” means that since we weren’t working for God yet, we gave our power and strength to the financial beast. We all share the beast that is a good credit rating in this country in order to buy houses and cars and household goods.
14
KJV: These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
The beast and the 10 kings are in a battle between good and evil. Jesus Christ is the Lamb; Jesus will win because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. The 10 kings will be called and chosen and faithful.
(NIV)
15
KJV: And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Little Harlot :
Debra, the harlot, lives by the Great Lakes. Chicago is a land of large numbers of peoples of all nations and tongues and was once a major route of influx for immigrants for people on their way to the west.
Big Harlot:
United States of America.

KJV: And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
The 10 horns would come to realize it was America’s power and greed that brought unrest and hate towards the U.S. from the people in the Middle East.
On December 27, 2001, a second bin Laden video was released. In the video, he stated "Terrorism against America deserves to be praised because it was a response to injustice, aimed at forcing America to stop its support for Israel, which kills our people," but he stopped short of admitting responsibility for the attacks.[104]
Shortly before the U.S. presidential election in 2004, in a taped statement, bin Laden publicly acknowledged al-Qaeda's involvement in the attacks on the U.S, and admitted his direct link to the attacks. He said that the attacks were carried out because, "We are a free people who do not accept injustice, and we want to regain the freedom of our nation."

KJV: For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
God has allowed us to give our strength to the beast until these words are fulfilled. This is the will of God. He will put into our hearts what his plan is through this Interpretation. You will come to be in agreement.
Currently, America’s love of money and credit, “the Beast,” are still in their current kingdom until this prophecy has been fulfilled.
18
KJV: And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
For more than a century, it has been one of the world's major centers of commerce and finance. New York City is rated as an alpha world city for its global influences in media, politics, education, entertainment, arts and fashion. The city is also a major center for foreign affairs, hosting the headquarters of the United Nations.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City
The great city is New York, the city which houses the United Nations, which was built by people like myself. You Too?
The woman that is a symbol of our nation is Lady Liberty, which also is in New York and sits on the water. What is the Statue of Liberty a symbol of? Freedom? What kind of freedom -- freedom to practice one’s own religion? It looks like most of us are slaves to the Beast.
The United States of America reigns over the earth; we are the “world’s cop:”
