Ten ‘10’ Denotes God’s divine ‘COMPLETENESS’ as to things on EARTH. In Revelation 10, he is opening up the ancient scrolls and ‘little book’ of prophecy that Daniel was told to ‘SEAL UP’ and not write of what was spoken. He was prophetically being told additional things that would transpire or occur ‘in the end of days’ and during the 7 year ‘tribulation.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the ‘time of the end’: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the ‘time of the end’.
‘Time of the End’:
Revelation ‘10’ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a ‘little book open’: (NWN; Daniels ‘little book’ is now being opened by God’s Great Angel of Prophecy) and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven ‘7’ thunders uttered their voices.
(NWN; I ‘discern’ that these are seven ‘7’ other great prophecy angels who are ‘confirming’ that NOW IS THE TIME to OPEN DANIEL’S ‘END TIME’ Book of Future Prophecy.’)
4 And when the seven ‘7’ thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven ‘7’ thunders uttered, and write them not.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
(NWN; The Great Prophecy Angel is proclaiming the ‘LAST DAYS or END TIMES’ have come, in no uncertain terms, and that NOW IS THE TIME to reveal prophecy related TO the Last Days or End Times and Tribulation.)
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh ‘7’ angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
(NWN; Seven ‘7’ denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for this ‘7th’ prophecy angel to commence and complete prophecy related to the Last Days and End Times. Think of the Great Prophecy Angel as a ‘General’ and the ‘7th’ prophecy angel as a Major or Colonel or someone of rank who has been given authority to physically ‘begin something or start something.’)
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open (NWN; notice that the ‘little book’ is OPEN) in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
(NWN; the prophecy angel(s) are HANDING the little book to physically alive men on the earth. In essence, they are handing or ‘transferring’ the ‘little book of prophecy’ to physical men ALIVE on the EARTH during the ‘End Times’ or ‘Last Days.’ God conveys prophecy to Angels who in turn are ‘messengers’ of God’s prophecy to mortal men alive. Angels, throughout the past 6,000 years have been ‘messengers’ for God to mankind.)
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
(NWN; this is a ‘discernment’ on my part. ‘Take it and eat it’ is a spiritual ‘consumption’ of understanding the End Times and God’s related prophecies to go along with ‘signs of the times.’ It takes ‘7’ knowledge, wisdom, obedience, humility, persistence, prayer and the Holy Spirit’ to work prophecy in man’kind. This is a great and wonderful thing, just like a ‘7’ course meal. However, once the prophecies are apparent ‘consumed and understood’ they will be prone to make one sick to the stomach because of what they foretell. Just like eating a ’7’ course meal will likely make you feel like you could explode. God’s UNFILTERD WRATH poured on evil man’kind who refuse Him, and refuse His Son Jesus Christ and His eternal offer of salvation. Seeing prophecy happen and unfold is a wonderful and miraculous thing. Understanding the implications of seeing prophecy unfold, leaves one’s stomach bitter and sour because of the ‘gastrointestinal storm’ that is coming. Pass-the-antacid-pills, please.)
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
(NWN; the prophecy angel was prophesying what would happen to anyone who attempted to reveal what was in the ‘little book.’ This verse ‘confirms’ that what was prophesied, did in fact occur and was experienced by those given the task of being Watchmen. This also ‘suggests’ that some men are ‘willingly’ allowing themselves to be Watchmen because they consciously love prophecy (God’s Word) and are completely open and receptive to it.)
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
(NWN; since this is verse ‘11’ it suggests a WARNING(S). The purpose of prophecy is to inform, proclaim and WARN. It suggests that the Watchmen who proclaim the Word of God, will have their ‘7’ words, letters, videos, blogs, sermons, articles and books proclaim God’s WILL to those during the End Times / Last Days and Tribulation period. God has ALWAYS used Holy Angels and physical men (Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Enoch, and others) to speak on behalf of God. He will do this also through the Tribulation via; 1. Prophecy revealed to mankind via his ‘little book’ to Watchmen, 2. The ‘two witnesses’, ‘lampstands’ or candles who proclaims God’s light to the world for the first 3.5 years of the tribulation, 3. The various Angel warnings given to men to NOT TAKE THE MARK of the BEAST and lastly, 4. The 144,000 Jewish Evangelists who have the ‘seal of God’ in their foreheads (and NOT the mark of the Beast) who proclaim Jesus Christ’s offer of Salvation ONE LAST TIME, before the 7 year tribulation ends.)
Acts 2:17-21 And it shall come to pass ‘in the last days’, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Joel 2:28-29 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids ‘in those days’

Five-fold World Systems Satanically Controlled:
Economic system. (Buy, sell, merchants, trade, mark, name, number). (18X). (Rev. 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 18:3, 18:7, 18:9, 18:11, 18:12, 18:13, 18:14, 18:15, 18:17, 18:19, 18:22, 18:23).
Communication system. (Nations shall see, in the sight of men, saying to them that dwell on earth). (15X). (Rev. 11:9, 11:10, 11:11, 11:12, 13:3, 13:4, 13:5, 13:6, 13:12, 13:13, 13:14, 13:15, 13:16, 13:17, 17:8).
Political system. (Kingdom, seat, authority, kings, power over nations). (12X). (Rev. 13:1, 13:2, 13:7, 16:10, 16:14, 17:3, 17:7, 17:12, 17:13, 17:16, 17:17, 17:18).
Military system. (Power, make war). (15X).(Rev. 6:2, 6:4, 10:16, 10:18, 10:19, 13:2, 13:7, 13:15, 16:14, 16:16, 17:12, 17:13, 17:14, 19:18, 19:19).
Religious system. (Mystery Religion Babylon). (24X). (Rev. 9:20, 9:21, 13:4, 13:8, 13:11, 13:12, 13:14, 13:15, 14:8, 14:9, 14:11, 16:2, 17:1, 17:2, 17:4, 17:5, 17:15, 17:16, 18:3, 18:4, 18:5, 18:9, 19:2, 19:20).
Commentary: Babylon System is the beast’s/antichrist’s kingdom of power and control on earth during the Tribulation. It is the beast’s/anti-christ’s political and military systems. It is an economic and communication system. It is the name of a physical city believed to be the capital of this kingdom. Lastly, it is a false, blasphemous religious and worship system (Mystery Religion Babylon). Satan controls and manipulates all these global systems, through his beast/antichrist and the false prophet. The number of references for each of these systems CONFIRMS his influence on these systems.
Economic System (18 references). 6+6+6=18. Six is the evil number of man, the beast and the false prophet. The economic system is man’s ultimate evil because he has to completely prostitute himself (spiritually) to the beast in order to participate in this system through taking the name, mark or number of the beast. 3×6=18. Three (3) denotes God’s intensity and emphasis, Six (6) denotes the evil number of man (mankind, beast, false prophet).
Communication System (15 references). 5+5+5=15. Control and manipulation of the world’s communications systems is under the influence of Satan, via the beast. Five (5) being the number of Satan and his influence in the world. 3×5=15. Three (3) denotes God’s intensity and emphasis. Satan controls the world’s communications systems so he can worshipped worldwide indirectly and eventually directly, through the beast.
Political System (12 references). 2×6=12. Two (2) denotes God’s solid confirmation of a matter. Six (6) is the evil number of man. Twelve (12) denotes God’s divinely constituted organization either in heaven or earth. Remember, even though the beast’s political system is evil, God is in control and allows this political system to exist for a limited time. The Bible is very clear about God’s desire to influence and orchestrate the development of this political system in Revelation 17:17, “For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
Military System (15 references). 5+5+5=15. Control and manipulation of the world’s military systems are under the influence of Satan, via the beast. Five (5) being the number of Satan and his influence in the world. 3×5=15. Three (3) denotes God’s intensity and emphasis. Revelation 13, 14 and 16 indicate that an unclean spirit is spewed forth by the dragon (and beast and false prophet) to go out into the world to motivate kings and their armies to arrive at Armageddon in order to do battle on the Great Day of the Lord.
Religious System (24 references). Ultimately, it is the whore (Mystery Religion Babylon) who causes religious/spiritual fornication among everyone on earth. This is the most evil of all five (5) worldwide systems influenced by Satan. He does everything in his power to shield or hide the truth about the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. He wants to destroy all men, and send them to hell and the lake of fire. He wants to blaspheme God. He wants the world to worship only him. He wants to world think he is equal to God. All of these satanic goals are manifest in Mystery Religion Babylon. The other four world systems (economic, communication, political and military) just serve a means to an end. The end culminating in the direct (false) worship of Satan. The religious system of Babylon receives the most references by the world of God through His Holy Spirit. 2×12=24. Two (2) signifying God’s solid confirmation of a matter and twelve (12) denoting God’s divinely constituted organization either in heaven or on earth. Another way to think of twenty-four (24) is 4×6=24. Four (4) denoting God’s foursquareness of balance and symmetry, and of intelligent design multiplied by six (6) the evil number of man (mankind, beast, false prophet). Once again, God is in control and only lets this evil religious system exist only for a divinely determined time and purpose.
A ‘bone-crushing recession’: Wall Street’s top investors warn that the war in Ukraine will provoke widespread economic chaos
By Linette Lopez Business Insider March 29, 2022
If you thought the stock market’s sell-off to start the year was ugly, get ready: Wall Street’s most elite investors are bracing for an even deeper market shock as the war in Ukraine drags on.
In my conversations with some of the top minds in finance, many of whom talked to me on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly about where the market is headed, a consensus emerged: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has kicked their predictions for a stock-market “washout” into hyperdrive. The murky global economic picture, clouded by supply-driven inflation pressures, is now even more complex and uncertain. And the shifts that turned some of the market’s high-flying winners into losers are only becoming more pronounced.
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine accelerated the slowdown, and it accelerated inflation,” one billionaire value investor told me.
Beyond the massive volatility that the invasion will continue to inflict on markets, the war is also forcing Wall Street to undergo a frenzied gut check. It’s not just the US government that wants nothing to do with Russia. It’s Wall Street’s client base as well.
So the challenge for Wall Street’s biggest investors is threefold: Build a portfolio that survives the washout, make sure you’re not holding Russian assets, and, for the love of God, return any Russian clients’ money before old Uncle Sam lowers the boom.
Market mess (5) and a ‘bone-crushing recession’
Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine added another shock on top of a year already defined by a massive economic sea change. The Federal Reserve and other policymakers in the US have been trying to walk a fine line, increasing interest rates just enough to tamp down historically high inflation without pushing the economy into a recession . This much has not changed: Inflation so far shows no sign of slowing, and the Fed’s plans to raise interest rates to fight it mean debt is already becoming more costly and loans are harder to access. In turn, investors are becoming more risk-averse and punishing the stocks of companies that relied on cheap debt to fuel speculative growth — many of which were the darlings of our seemingly unstoppable stock market of the past two years. All of that adds up to a nasty stock-market decline.
Putin’s war has not changed the shape of this market shift, but it is making the swerve even more aggressive. Other than “a re-rating of defense contractors,” the value investor told me, the stock market hasn’t changed fundamentally. It has only become more treacherous.
The thunderbolt of Ukraine’s destruction and of Russia being shoved out of the global economy has created additional scarcity in a world already struggling with a shortage of critical goods as well as the inflation these shortages have caused. The war is endangering the world’s supply of oil, steel, wheat, fertilizer and other commodities. Together, Russia and Ukraine export more than 25% of the world’s wheat supply. Russia is also a major exporter of fertilizer. The UN is warning that this conflict could lead to global food shortages. The food that remains will become more expensive, exacerbating inflation.
And then, of course, there is energy. Russia was supplying the world with just under 10 million barrels of oil a day before Putin attacked Ukraine. Since then the US has cut off imports, and the EU is working to quickly wean itself off Russia’s energy supply.
Eventually, without technology from American and European companies like Baker Hughes, Halliburton, and Schlumberger, Russia will also have trouble extracting oil from its territory, the geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan said. Oil prices have been all over the place since the invasion began, mostly rising in reaction to the carnage, with occasional dips as the market tries to figure out how much oil we’ve really lost.
Earlier this week the International Energy Agency projected that Russian oil exports would drop by 3 million barrels a day by next month, but one person I spoke to, a Singapore-based hedge-fund manager who focuses on commodities, believes sanctions evasion will temper losses as Russia shepherds its gas through countries like China.
“I think oil prices could go a little bit higher as these issues work out, but I’d be surprised if prices were higher in June than they were right after Russia attacked,” they said. “I think some of this will be manageable as the Chinese figure out how to smuggle commodities out of Russia, and they will.”
In the meantime, low-income populations could face what the fund manager described as a “bone-crushing recession.” In the US, low-income Americans spend an average of 8% of their household income on energy expenses, from filling their gas tanks to keeping their lights on. In the EU, the figure can reach above 12% in countries like Romania. Even before Putin’s attack, researchers estimated that 80 million households across Europe struggled to stay warm, so when prices go up it hurts.
“The issue Europe has right now is figuring out how to reduce absolute gas consumption quickly while also figuring out how to help the most vulnerable people,” they said.
If the EU does not solve these massive problems, it risks forcing low-income citizens to choose between heating their homes and filling their stomachs. It risks the elimination of shifts at manufacturing plants, hitting workers’ wallets even harder. It risks political unrest. Right now the West’s top priority in supporting Ukraine is to maintain a unified front against Russian aggression, but none of this is good for economic and social stability.
What all of this amounts to is a temporary but indeterminate period of chaos. Prices for necessities will rage upward; central banks will fight inflation by raising rates; and money will become harder to find. While there might be money to be made as the turmoil sorts itself out, the fundamental shift underway in the market — an ugly, painful transition from growth stocks toward value — has not changed. The swings will just get wilder, as anyone who is trying to survive mid-March’s sucker punch of a bear-market rally can probably tell you. Without warning, the tech-heavy Nasdaq — which had been languishing — ripped over 8% in one week. In a market like this one, it could just as easily crash back down even harder the next.
A shunning on Wall Street
While the economic and market fallout from the war in Ukraine will take months to unfold, Wall Street’s scramble to rid itself of toxic Russian assets began quietly but swiftly after Putin invaded. Before Goldman Sachs started the big-bank exodus from Russia, before Citigroup and Deutsche Bank cut their losses and followed suit, before hedge funds started cutting off their Russian oligarch clients — emails and phone calls were flying around Wall Street, demanding that Russia be shunned.
“We cannot tell our clients that we put their money in Russian assets,” said Josh Brown, CEO of the wealth-management firm Ritholtz Wealth Management, which oversees $1 billion in assets. “So we’re calling our asset managers and saying you need to take our exposure to zero.”
Calls like this set off a chain reaction that Russia cannot stop. Wealth managers like Brown call their asset managers — companies like Vanguard, for example — and tell them to divest any Russian holdings in their clients’ portfolios. These massive asset managers then call the companies that make indexes, like MSCI, State Street (which makes the SPY index) or the London Stock Exchange (which makes the FTSE Russell) and demand that Russia be booted from the indexes — erasing Russian investments from virtually every American retirement account and millions of investment portfolios. Because asset managers like Vanguard run trillions of dollars, the index-making companies comply. Russian assets were thrown out of the FTSE Russell, for example, on March 4.
This excision from financial markets will be difficult to undo, partly because clients are unlikely to embrace Russia anytime soon but also because Russian assets have entered a sort of limbo. They’ve become part of a fire sale in which customers can only window-shop.
“Basically, whatever assets they have on hand have to go to zero and then become a write-off,” Brown said. “No one is buying these assets. Maybe you can sell it back to a Russian in three years, but for now there’s no liquid market.”
This goes not only for securities but also physical assets that once made their owners very rich. When BP announced in late February that it was offloading its 20% stake in Russian oil giant Rosneft, one veteran hedge-fund manager — who had just been expressing his guilt over profiting in a wartime stock market — told me simply, “that doesn’t mean anything.” In his decades of running money, you cannot sell something no one will buy. You cannot just leave billions in investments and walk away. No one in their right mind would simply renounce ownership of assets and write down the stake as a loss. But these times are not like any other.
It turns out when there’s a war on, you actually can just walk away. Especially when it seems Russia is isolating itself from the global financial system, or as the billionaire value investor described it, “going full North Korea.”

Luke 12:37-39; Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
