"And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." -Revelation 9:11
The BP Deep Water Horizon oil leak in the gulf...what are the prophetic signs of this horrible "accident?" We drill through some of the facts, the iconic imagery that links the power structures of corporations, governments, financial systems, and the world religious structures ...the juggernaut of powers that are a global oligarchy. Revelation gives clues as to the identities of these power structures...and the "one" who sits atop them. He has a symbol and he has a "name" that becomes very apparent when one explores the connective symbols employed, sometimes subliminally by these ruling elite systems. The gaping wound is a profound sign of the present state of this world, and the planet which now is "bleeding" from the man-made gash one mile below the gulf coast waters.
In brief, we also discuss the exploding controversy of so-called "Biblical inerrancy" and the religious minds that use scripture to bludgeon and impugn. Also, Israel and the "whipsaw effect" that could drive an isolated Jewish state to horrific acts that would bring on the great third war---and a global revolution. Deep waters, indeed!
