A BAD TRIP IN A CAVE
My
Bible has 1441 pages. A beautiful number. Most of it (1119 pages) is
called the “Old Testament”, the first five books are called the
Trah. The Old Testament is the Jewish Bible. The New Testament is 322
pages long. The last book of the New Testament is called “Revelation”
and it is twenty pages long. It is written by John, the Divine, who
was exciled by the Romans to Patmos. After much debate “Revelation”
became part of the official Christian Bible. His book was one of many
“Revelations” and “Apocalypses”, written in the first
centuries afgter the death of Christ. Bible historians long thought,
that John had also written “the Gospel of John”, but linguistic
and etymological research, has show, that they were not.”Revelation”
contains 7 letters, written by John to the threatened christian
communities in Asia Minor, 3 ½ pages long. The remainig 17 pages are
a vision. A vision of war and destruction, before cthe Return of
Christ. A scroll will appear in the sky, with 7 seals, which will be
opened one by one. It starts with the appearance of the 4 horsemen of
the Apocalypse. They bring war, destruction, pestillence and famine.
A process in which billions will perish.
“Revelation”
is only a small part of the Bible, but in our days, it's the most
important one. Many preacher draw parallels between global events and
ancient prophesies. This vision, that we live in the “Endtimes”,
is widely spread in the USA. This self-fulfilling brainwash is
extremely dangerous and people who are afraid, tend to be
manipulated easily.
But
what if John's visions and hallucinations have another cause. There
are two possibilities. Either he ate too many mushrooms or the cave,
John lived in, vulcanic gasses were present. They have a
hallucinating effect. The famous oracle of Delphi contained a room,
which was connected to a volcano.
By
this the (fewmale) oracle went into trance, after which she started
uttering words and sounds, which we interpreted by her entourage. The
Oracle stood in very high esteem and it was visited by thousands,
including kings, like Alexander the Great. John's bad trip, is
haunting humanity for almost two thousand years.
