42. Strange attractor
43. Movable nu
The Greek language has what is called a
"movable nu" from the letter "
nu" in the Greek alphabet.
The
ancient Greek phrase
"νῦ ἐφελκυστικόν" ≈ "nu dragged onto, nu attracted to" and comes from two Greek words.
The ancient Greek word "επι" ≈ "on".
The ancient Greek word "ἕλκω" ≈ "drag, attract"
In Greek, the
"movable nu" is used to avoid two vowels in a row, a "
hiatus". That is, a vowel at the end of one word and a vowel at the beginning of the next word. Since this is a speech-related phenomena, sometimes the
"movable nu" is optional.
44. Revelation 16:2,11 Attractive soar
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. [kjv]
και απηλθεν ο πρωτος και εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου επι εις την γην και εγενετο ελκος κακον και πονηρον εις επι τους ανθρωπους τους εχοντας το χαραγμα του θηριου και τους προσκυνουντας τη εικονι αυτου προσκυνουντας [gnt]
16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [kjv]
και εβλασφημησαν τον θεον του ουρανου εκ των πονων αυτων και εκ των ελκων αυτων και ου μετενοησαν εκ των εργων αυτων [gnt]
"ἕλκος" ≈ "wound, injury, ulcer" and related to the Latin word "ulcus" ≈ "ulcer".
"ἕλκω" ≈ "drag, pull" as in pull along a surface. Not related to word for wound, etc.
What might
"draw" or
"attract" men during these times? Might this be a "
strange" or "
paradoxical"
"attraction"?
45. Revelation 16:2 In a bad way
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. [kjv]
και απηλθεν ο πρωτος και εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου επι εις την γην και εγενετο ελκος κακον και πονηρον εις επι τους ανθρωπους τους εχοντας το χαραγμα του θηριου και τους προσκυνουντας τη εικονι αυτου προσκυνουντας [gnt]
The
ancient Greek word
"κακός" ≈ "bad, worthless, ugly, vile" can be a play on words with the "
cuckoo" sound made by a
bird. Jesus uses the words for
bird to refer to false leaders and false teachers.
The English word
"cacophony" comes, through French, from the
ancient Greek word
"κακοφωνία" ≈ "ill-sounding".
46. Revelation 16:2 Oppressive annoyance
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. [kjv]
και απηλθεν ο πρωτος και εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου επι εις την γην και εγενετο ελκος κακον και πονηρον εις επι τους ανθρωπους τους εχοντας το χαραγμα του θηριου και τους προσκυνουντας τη εικονι αυτου προσκυνουντας [gnt]
"πονηρὰ" ≈ "oppressed by toils" and is often translated as "evil".
"πονηρόν" ≈ "oppressed by toils" (accusative singular) of "πονηρός" ≈ "oppressed by toils".
The English word
"noisome", is from the Middle English word
"noysom" ≈ "harmful, injurious, offensive" and was short for
"annoy" where the leading "
a" dropped off.
47. Revelation 16:2 If dust in the house
48. Matthew 22:20 Image and house
49. Revelation 16:2 First vial
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. [kjv]
και απηλθεν ο πρωτος και εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου επι εις την γην και εγενετο ελκος κακον και πονηρον εις επι τους ανθρωπους τους εχοντας το χαραγμα του θηριου και τους προσκυνουντας τη εικονι αυτου προσκυνουντας [gnt]
These are those who have been
attracted with
sores to the
bad bird cackling and
oppressed with
toils and
many minds, both themselves and others.
The Greek for
"image" "(of) it/him" is ambiguous. Is the
"(of) it/him" the "
beast", the "
mark" or something else?
[absolute power corrupting, householder going away]
In this case, John will see and tell about the "
last" "
first" and the "
first" "
last".
50. Absolute power
John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton (1834-1902) said that "
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men..." in a letter to an Anglican bishop (Wikipedia).
The question is this. Did the power corrupt or did the opportunity to use power show what already existed in the person?
[Augustine and innocence of babies, parents and children]
All balls are red or blue. In a very dark room, what color is a bright red ball? What happens when the light is turned on? [information]
To be "great" one needs an observable "measure" by which one can be "greater" than others.
What does Jesus say about being "great"? Who is the "greatest"?
How does wanting to be "great" relate to "evil" as "oppressing" others and/or oneself?
51. Revelation 16:2
KJV: And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Greek: και απηλθεν ο πρωτος και εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου επι εις την γην και εγενετο ελκος κακον και πονηρον εις επι τους ανθρωπους τους εχοντας το χαραγμα του θηριου και τους προσκυνουντας τη εικονι αυτου προσκυνουντας
52. Revelation 16:3 Second vial
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [kjv]
και ο δευτερος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου εις την θαλασσαν και εγενετο αιμα ως νεκρου και πασα ψυχη ζωσα ζωης απεθανεν τα εν τη θαλασση [gnt]
Greek:
... and (it) became blood as of a dead (man) and ...
KJV:
and it became as blood of a dead man and ...
Does the
KJV change of word order change the analogy or meaning in a significant way?
The
"as" indicates an
analogy and
not a literal
reality.
"αἷμα" ≈ "blood" and is the source of the English word "anemic".
"ὅς" ≈ "as far as" and "ὅς" ≈ "who, which, that".
The
ancient Greek word
"νεκρός" ≈ "dead" and is the source of the English word
"necropolis" as a "
city of the dead" or "
cemetery". Being
"dead" is usually in a literal sense but can be used in a figurative sense as in a
"dead" "
head" or of beating a
"dead" "
horse".
[drops of blood, house on sand, etc.]
53. Revelation 16:3 See the living not in the sea
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [kjv]
και ο δευτερος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου εις την θαλασσαν και εγενετο αιμα ως νεκρου και πασα ψυχη ζωσα ζωης απεθανεν τα εν τη θαλασση [gnt]
Greek:
... every living soul died that was in the sea.
What about
living souls that were
not in the
sea?
54. Revelation 16:3
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [kjv]
και ο δευτερος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου εις την θαλασσαν και εγενετο αιμα ως νεκρου και πασα ψυχη ζωσα ζωης απεθανεν τα εν τη θαλασση [gnt]
Those leaving
node 5 (living bread, living water, washed in the
blood, etc.) now have
blood as those who are
dead.
If they were a
"living" "
soul" in the
"sea" then they "
die".
[sea and forgetfulness, Greek two and second, died and birded]
55. Revelation 16:3
KJV: And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
Greek: και ο δευτερος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου εις την θαλασσαν και εγενετο αιμα ως νεκρου και πασα ψυχη ζωσα ζωης απεθανεν τα εν τη θαλασση
56. Revelation 16:3-4 Second and third vials
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [kjv]
16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. [kjv]
Vial 2 at
node 6 has the
dirty water (sea) and
dead blood.
Vial 3 at
node 5 has the
living water (rivers and fountains) and
living blood.
To complete the three parts or ways, for all peoples, an empty dried-out (vacuously clean and pure) water is needed. That will happen at
vial 6 and
node 2.
57. Revelation 16:4-7 Third vial
Revelation 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. [kjv]
16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. [kjv]
16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. [kjv]
16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. [kjv]
These verses do not appear to be filled with
"wrath" but rather of "
life". The
ancient Greek word
"θυμός" ≈ "soul, life, breath, desire, passion, anger, wrath". The meaning of
"wrath" is one of many meanings of the word and not a primary meaning.
The
Latin word
"ire" ≈ "ire, anger, wrath" and is the source of the English word
"ire". This word is usually used to translate the Greek word.
58. Revelation 16:4 Third vial
Revelation 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. [kjv]
και ο τριτος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου εις τους ποταμους και εις τας πηγας των υδατων και εγενετο αιμα [gnt]
There is
no "as" analogy. They
became actual (living )
"blood".
What type of
"rivers" and
"water" could cause a house built on "
sand" to collapse?
Could such
"rivers" and
"water" that cause destruction from the "
wind" of the Holy Spirit? How about the corresponding
Avenger of
Blood?
Greek: ... into the rivers ...
KJV: ... upon the rivers ...
59. Revelation 16:4
KJV: And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Greek: και ο τριτος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου εις τους ποταμους και εις τας πηγας των υδατων και εγενετο αιμα
60. John 7:38 Rivers of living water
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. [kjv]
ο πιστευων εις εμε καθως ειπεν η γραφη ποταμοι εκ της κοιλιας αυτου ρευσουσιν υδατος ζωντος [gnt]
It is not clear to what scripture John refers. Many have pieced together various verses to support the claim made here in John. Assume that the rivers represent the "
harvest", full of fish in the water analogy. The etymology of
"river" in Greek comes from the same root that means "
fallen" as in a low area.
In John, we have the concept of
"rivers" and living
"water" from the "
wind" of the Holy Spirit. Such are beneficial to a house built on the "
rock". There are three elements in the houses built on
rock or on
sand.
rain (living water or theft)
rivers (floods in KJV)
wind (Holy Spirit or bird calls)
61. Revelation 16:5 Third vial continued
Revelation 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. [kjv]
και ηκουσα του αγγελου των υδατων λεγοντος δικαιος κυριε ει ο ων και ο ην και ο οσιος οτι ταυτα εκρινας [gnt]
… audivi angelum aquarum … iustus … sanctus … iudicasti [v]
The
ancient Greek word
"ὑδάτων" ≈ "(of) waters". Are these living
"waters"?
The
ancient Greek word
"κρίνω" ≈ "separate/distinguish". The idea of "
judged" comes from the Latin.
The
ancient Greek word
"ὅσιος" ≈ "pious, devout" does not appear to be translated in the
KJV. It is in the Latin Vulgate
"sanctus" ≈ "holy".
The
TR adds the Greek word for "
O Lord".
62. Revelation 16:5
KJV: And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
Greek: και ηκουσα του αγγελου των υδατων λεγοντος δικαιος κυριε ει ο ων και ο ην και ο οσιος οτι ταυτα εκρινας
Latin: et audivi angelum aquarum dicentem iustus es qui es et qui eras sanctus quia haec iudicasti
63. Revelation 16:6 Third vial continued
Revelation 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. [kjv]
οτι αιμα αγιων και προφητων εξεχεαν και αιμα αυτοις εδωκας πιειν δεδωκας πειν αξιοι γαρ εισιν [gnt]
Might this
"blood" be
"living" "water"?
The Greek word translated as
"shed" is that of
"poured out". This is what the
"angels" are doing with the
"vials".
64. Revelation 16:6
KJV: For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Greek: οτι αιμα αγιων και προφητων εξεχεαν και αιμα αυτοις εδωκας πιειν δεδωκας πειν αξιοιγαρ εισιν
65. Revelation 16:7 Third vial continued
Revelation 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. [kjv]
και ηκουσα αλλου εκ του θυσιαστηριου λεγοντος ναι κυριε ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ αληθιναι και δικαιαι αι κρισεις σου [gnt]
… iusta iudicia … [v]
The
ancient Greek word
"κρίσις" ≈ "decision, trial, dispute" and comes from
"κρίνω" ≈ "separate, arrange, distinguish".
The Latin uses the
same word, "
justice" as in "
judicial" for both
"righteous" and
"separation". Neither fits the Greek word very well.
66. Revelation 16:7 True
67. Revelation 16:7
KJV: And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
Greek: και ηκουσα αλλου εκ του θυσιαστηριου λεγοντος ναι κυριε ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ αληθιναι και δικαιαι αι κρισεις σου
Latin: et audivi altare dicens etiam Domine Deus omnipotens vera et iusta iudicia tua
68. Revelation 16:4
Revelation 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. [kjv]
και ο τριτος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου εις τους ποταμους και εις τας πηγας των υδατων και εγενετο αιμα [gnt]
This vial does appears to neither good nor bad for those receiving it. One needs to be washed in the blood. That is, the water needs to become (living) blood and not blood as of the dead.
[Greek three vs. third]
69. Revelation 16:8-9 Fourth vial
70. Revelation 16:8 Tartarus
Revelation 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. [kjv]
και ο τεταρτος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου επι τον ηλιον και εδοθη αυτω καυματισαι τους ανθρωπους εν πυρι [gnt]
"τέταρτος" ≈ "fourth".
"Τάρταρος" ≈ "Tartarus".
In Greek mythology,
Tartarus is a region deep inside the earth and part of the underworld. It is a place of torment for the wicked and a prison for the Titans.
Might a
fire-breathing dragon appear in this node/vial?
71. Aristotle: Meteorologica
English: Plato's description of rivers and the sea in the Phaedro is impossible. He says they all flow into each other beneath the earth through channels pierced through it, and that their original source is a body of water at the center of the earth called Tartarus, from which all waters running and standing are drawn. (Loeb#397, p. 139)
Greek: τὸ δ' ἐν τῷ Φαίδωνι γεγραμμένον περί τε τῶν ποταμῶν καὶ τῆς θαλάττης ἀδύνατόν ἐστιν. λέγεται γὰρ ὡς ἅπαντα μὲν εἰς ἄλληλα συντέτρηται ὑπὸ γῆν, ἀρχὴ δὲ πάντων εἴη καὶ πηγὴ τῶν ὑδάτων ὁ καλούμενος Τάρταρος, περὶ τὸ μέσον ὕδατός τι πλῆθος, ἐξ οὗ καὶ τὰ ῥέοντα καὶ τὰ μὴ ῥέοντα ἀναδίδωσιν πάντα· Aristotle: Meteorologica [356a]
72. Aristotle: Meteorologica
English: But an this account rivers do not always flow in the same sense. For if they flow towards the centre and also away from it, they will flow uphill as much as down, according to the direction in which the surge of Tartarus inclines. And if this is so we have the proverbial impossibility of rivers flowing uphill. (Loeb#397, p. 141)
Greek: συμβαίνει δὲ τοὺς ποταμοὺς ῥεῖν οὐκ ἐπὶ ταὐτὸν ἀεὶ κατὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον· ἐπεὶ γὰρ εἰς τὸ μέσον εἰσρέουσιν ἀφ' οὗπερ ἐκρέουσιν, οὐδὲν μᾶλλον ῥευσοῦνται κάτωθεν ἢ ἄνωθεν, ἀλλ' ἐφ' ὁπότερ' ἂν ῥέψῃ κυμαίνων ὁ Τάρταρος. καίτοι τούτου συμβαίνοντος γένοιτ' ἂν τὸ λεγόμενον ἄνω ποταμῶν· ὅπερ ἀδύνατον. Aristotle: Meteorologica [356a]
73. Aristotle: Posterior Analytics
In his Posterior Analytics, Aristotle is providing some examples of (his four) causes and uses Tartarus in one of them.
English: If, then, an effect can obtain for two causes, can it also be brought about by two causes? e.g., if it thunders both because there must be a hissing and roaring as the fire is extinguished, and also (as the Pythagoreans hold) to threaten the souls in Tartarus and make them fear. (Loeb#391, p. 217)
Greek: ἆρ' οὖν εἰ εἶναι ἐνδέχεται, καὶ γίνεσθαι ἐνδέχεται· ὥσπερ εἰ βροντᾷ <ὅτι> ἀποσβεννυμένου τε τοῦ πυρὸς ἀνάγκη σίζειν καὶ ψοφεῖν καί, εἰ ὡς οἱ Πυθαγόρειοί φασιν, ἀπειλῆς ἕνεκα τοῖς ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ, ὅπως φοβῶνται; Aristotle: Αναλυτικών υστέρων/1 10:25 [94b]
74. Revelation 16:8
KJV: And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Greek: και ο τεταρτος αγγελος εξεχεεν την φιαλην αυτου επι τον ηλιον και εδοθη αυτω καυματισαι τους ανθρωπους εν πυρι
75. Revelation 16:9 Fourth vial continued
Revelation 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. [kjv]
και εκαυματισθησαν οι ανθρωποι καυμα μεγα και εβλασφημησαν το ονομα του θεου του εχοντος την εξουσιαν επι τας πληγας ταυτας και ου μετενοησαν δουναι αυτω δοξαν [gnt]
76. Revelation 16:9
KJV: And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Greek: και εκαυματισθησαν οι ανθρωποι καυμα μεγα και εβλασφημησαν το ονομα του θεου του εχοντος την εξουσιαν επι τας πληγας ταυτας και ου μετενοησαν δουναι αυτω δοξαν
Latin: et aestuaverunt homines aestu magno et blasphemaverunt nomen Dei habentis potestatem super has plagas neque egerunt paenitentiam ut darent illi gloriam
Wycliffe: And men swaliden with greet heete, and blasfemyden the name of God hauynge power on these plagis, nether thei diden penaunce, that thei schulden yyue glorie to hym.
Tyndale: And the men raged in gret heate and spake evyll of the name of God which had power over those plages and they repented not to geve him glory.

In the
GNT, this Greek word is translated as
"pain" and not as work or
"toil" which is usually more like "
fatigue" than
"pain".

The
ancient Greek word
"βλασφημία" ≈ "word of evil omen, defamation, speech against God" and comes from the words for "
bad" or "
harmful" and "
speak" or "
fame" (as in traveling news). In
deceptive uses, "
blasphemy" may sound
eloquent and
indistinguishable by some from the truth.
This word for
"blasphemy" can be a play on words with
"plant" or
"vegetation". The "
weeds" or "
tares" are "
planted" by the "
evil one" or the
"birds".
