Book of Revelation
1
KJV: And I saw an angel come down
from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in
his hand.
The angel with the power over fire has the key to the bottomless pit – see Rev. 14:18.
Bob reminds me of Ghost Rider – here is the “skull thing” in the fireplace and a picture below of the door of the ash pit from the bottomless pit located in his den below at 2526 Osage Drive in Dyer, Indiana.
“a great chain in his hand” means this angel, because of his addiction to cocaine, or the “eightball,” is chained to a life of sin and that sin keeps his soul trapped or “chained up.”

Unfortunately, due to codependence between marriage partners, and the phrase, “I’ve got something you’ll really like,” the angel with the chain kept his wife, the calf (bull or ox), chained up with him from the time she was 23 years old to the time just before her 40th birthday (16 years).
In the above artwork from Dore’s, The Divine Comedy, the robe of the man standing on the left, see one-half a lion’s face with a ball for a nose, and a chain hanging from its nose? Also, the right perimeter of the concrete pit is a wisp of smoke that resembles a snake’s tail.
Can you see the snake’s tail rising from the fire of the fireplace of the house we owned in Dyer, Indiana?
2
KJV: And he laid hold on the dragon,
that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
1000 years is the amount of time it takes for plastic to disintegrate. Bob works for a company that produces plastic film and plastic products. They have just invented a plastic that disintegrates in 30 days. 1000 years is symbolic of plastic and the disintegration of it. We call the credit card “plastic.”

In the Spring of 2004, Bob found out I was running up my personal GM credit card, even though it did not effect his credit or credit rating (because we were legally separated), he had his attorney run a credit bureau and close all our joint credit accounts even though I wasn’t using them.
(NIV)
3
KJV: And cast him into the
bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should
deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season.
All of our joint accounts were sealed closed. However, I still had my GM card and quickly maxed it out. When I found myself broke again, I remembered I had a Bank One credit card with a zero balance I had received after the bank rep offered it to me when I opened my new checking account after Bob left on 12-17-03. Along with the $200 per week I received from Bob I used this account to pay my bills for about two months (a short season). The bank closed this account without notice after the balance grew quickly; I may have missed a payment or not paid on time.
4
KJV: And I saw thrones, and they sat
upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and
which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had
received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years.
“beheaded for the witness of Jesus” were James, Matthias, and Paul, the Apostle and St. John the Baptist:
http://poptop.hypermart.net/howdied.html
“had not worshipped the beast” because this beast had not arrived during the lives of the aforementioned witnesses.
“reigned with Christ a thousand years” means because they do not have the mark, they get to reign with him for as long as it takes for the beast to disintegrate.
5
KJV: But the rest of the dead lived
not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection.
The spiritually dead will not live again until they finish disintegrating their plastic and give up the mark of the beast. God is speaking of your credit and debit cards, not plastic bottles – we can recycle those until we come up with something better – what did we used to use before plastic? As far as car loans and mortgages, that is like a huge aircraft carrier out to sea – how do we turn that around?
“first resurrection” is of the living soul inside the living body.
(NIV)
6
KJV: Blessed and holy is he that
hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but
they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years.
The second death is death of the soul (Hell).
(NIV)
7
KJV: And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Credit cards come with an expiration date. And plastic takes about 1000 years to disintegrate.
8
KJV: And shall go out to deceive the
nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to
gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
“in the four quarters of the earth” means from all four directions of the earth: east, west, north and south
A large number that is comparable to the grains of sand on the sea will battle God.
(NIV)
9
KJV: And they went up on the breadth
of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
“beloved city” Jerusalem or New Jerusalem, could be the city belonging to David.

DAVID |

|
|
Possibly derived from Hebrew דוד (dvd) meaning "beloved". David was the second and greatest of the kings of Israel, ruling in the 10th century BC. Several stories about him are told in the Old Testament, including his defeat of Goliath, a giant Philistine. Jesus was supposedly descended from him. |

KJV: And the devil that
deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the
beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for
ever and ever.
Also, see Rev. 19:20 – I was the beast when I had the credit and/or debit cards but I canceled all my cards and now I am out of the fire, so NOW I am NOT the beast who was and IS NOT:
Rev. 17:11
KJV: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
SO NOW WHO IS THE BEAST THAT IS AND WHO IS HIS IMAGE – HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR LATELY???

I don’t know who the false prophet is that is stuck in the lake of fire and brimstone that is tormented day and night forever and ever; there are many false prophets alive today deceiving the people of God. However, this verse points to THE false prophet.
11
KJV: And I saw a great white throne,
and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them.
God is on his throne.
“and there was found no place for them” means New Jerusalem has not yet been completely established until this prophecy is fulfilled.
12
KJV: And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book
was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those
things which were written in the books, according to their works.
“and the books were opened”:

“and another book was opened which is the book of life”:
The Book of Life (Hebrew: ספר החיים, transliterated Sefer HaChaim) is the allegorical book in which God records the names and lives of the righteous.

(NIV)
13
KJV: And the sea gave up the
dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead
which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
“sea” means the abyss:
“and they were judged every man according to their works.” means:
14
KJV: And death and hell were cast
into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
The lake of fire is the second death that occurs after the death of the body (the first death).
15
KJV: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
