Thought for the Sunday

The seven seals is a concept of Christian eschatology, which comes from the Book of Revelation in the Christian Bible, where seven seals are described in Revelation 5:1. The seven seals are opened by the Lion of Judah, one by one. New Testament Book of Revelation 5:5; "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." This was usually the kingdom given to the Crown Prince of Israel. Jesus in Christian traditions is the King of Kings, not the Crown Prince. The Lion of Judah is a deliberate direct reference to a worthy Prince "Of the Blood of Christ"....
It also states that there will be "seven trumpets" announcing aspects of the "End Times": mankind being judged, seas turning to blood, sores on people's bodies, plagues, infertility, and the introduction of "seven bowls" (in King James Version called "vials"). These bowls are a third each of the sea, humankind, water, animal life, ships, crops, and earth, all engulfed by an infinite abyss.



now i don't profess to be a religious person, but from what i understand from this gospel is that there are seven seals bestowed to us upon Judgement Day. (*cough* 2012 *cough*)
okay. fantastic. seven seals. from the sky. call it by which ever way you choose, Judgement Day, Hari Kiamat, Qiyamah, Oh My God The World Is Ending!, Deos Judgementos, Apocalyptos, Eucalyptus..is gonna be freaking crazy.
okay so, to my understanding, there are seven seals thrown down on this earth by god. and then, he gets this guy Judah and tells him to set his lions upon the seals to open them up one by one. there's also a Root of David mentioned, but i'm guessing this David guy has a hair problem. anyways, it gets better! there are seven trumpets thrown in. here's where i'm assuming there's some kind of heavenly band coming down to play while the world gets destroyed, you know, like in Titanic, where those blokes played crappy music to a screaming crowd. as if they weren't annoyed enough. so back to my interpretation. after the trumpets and band and seals are down, god throws down seven bowls!
woah. am i the only one here who absolutely cannot wait for world's end? smoking weed, eating seafood and listening to jazz. i love you, god. even in the chaos and fire, you're an excellent host. please don't judge me on this.

p.s. btw god, i was thinking, since you're sending down a seven trumpet jazz band, you might want to include an EIGHTH seal? just to liven up the party? thank you. amen.
