Take theology out of the book of revelations and it becomes a how to avoid dying when your goverment collapses news letter.. It was just a manifesto like any other.

Read it through that lens, it's startling accurate for the demise of every empire in history. And we're right on track to do it again. And that's how it ends, reminding the reader that what happens in the text happens again and again and again.

That is to say, Jib is correct in that Revelations describes the fate, and the mechanisms of how, Empires who turn their back on God crumble. That doesn't absolve the "guilt" of that collapse, the collapse itself reinforces the guilt of those who turn their back on God to cause it.

When I was reading up on Axsys, the first AI system developed back in 1999, there was a lot of chatter about contact with Luciferian entities through it. It ultimately faced crashing issues in conceptualizing Time, but I remember the Tower of Babel event coming into context and something about a Babel virus.

Anyhow, when you abandon God entirely, you end up with a bunch of retarded idiots who think they know stuff when they don't even know the words they're using to express those things they think they know
