“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.”
Seems like the devil has been loosed for a couple hundred years now. Setting out world in fire—count the ‘great fires’ of the 1800s. There are too many to be a coincidence.
His minions have infiltrated every one of our institutions and ruined them with his favorite weapon—money.
He seemed to have snuck in on the back of the Industrial Revolution. It just gets worse and worse. Maybe we will see the nadir in our lifetimes, wouldn't that be something?
Prior to the Industrial Revolution people killed each other, wars were common. Kings ruled and they were ruthless. Think of the Vikings, the Mongols, the Barbarians, the Romans, the millions who have been enslaved. The savagery that man has heaped on man for thousands of years.
This specifically passage corresponds to the thousand years reign of JesusChrist with His church.
“And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”

Robin! I just made a podcast last night on money and how it ties to our slavery. Here’s the summary: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/podcast-timestamp-freedom-vs-slavery

Vida! Ha, your comment is spot on as I also wrote my book which examined just how much the world shifted since the Industrial Revolution! Here’s the overview of the book: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-history-of-you-a-book-that-connects
It's a darn good read especially if you meditate on what is presented.
Good on you Franklin.

Sounds like a fascinating new way of interpreting God’s relationship with humanity.
Sometimes with the passage of time, old things become new again.
