Abstract#

This paper examines 4chan /x/ thread No. 42917676, opened September 4, 2026, with the question,

“Is revelations tier stuff coming our way soon?

What's The Beast and The Dragon supposed to symbolize?”

/x/ - Is revelations tier stuff coming our way soon? Wha - Paranormal - 4chan

The ensuing discussion proposes a wide range of identifications:

• Islam
• the Statue of Liberty
• asteroid-related catastrophe in 2028–2029
• a 2046 terminal date
• soulless “NPCs”
• Dante’s Inferno
• Mercury and Jupiter
• a “New World Order”
• a United Nations sculpture
• Leviathan
• Abaddon
• Jewish banking families
• reptilian beings
• totalitarian world government

The thread itself documents these claims directly.

The purpose of this study is neither to ridicule apocalyptic interpretation nor to assume that conspiracies cannot occur.

Scripture warns repeatedly about:

• deception
• political oppression
• false worship
• economic coercion
• persecution
• satanic activity

• Real governments
• corporations
• financiers
• intelligence services
• religious institutions
• private actors

have also conspired throughout history.

The appropriate question is therefore not,

“Is this a conspiracy theory?”

but,

“What does the evidence actually establish?”

The central conclusion is that the thread repeatedly combines:

• genuine facts
• genuine biblical passages
• genuine literary motifs
• genuine historical objects
• genuine astronomical events

with unsupported connecting inferences.

In several places the individual components are true while the proposed synthesis is not established.

The clearest example concerns the Dragon.

Revelation does not leave its identity open to unrestricted speculation:

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan…”— Revelation 12:9, KJV

The uploaded Pure Cambridge Edition contains this explicit identification.

Thus:

• Jewish families
• Muslims
• reptilian humanoids
• extraterrestrials
• governments
• monuments
• planets

or other human groups cannot simply be substituted for the Dragon.

Earthly powers may, under some theological interpretations, function as instruments of satanic action, but the symbol’s explicitly identified referent remains Satan.

The same methodological principle governs the rest of this investigation:

explicit biblical interpretation outranks associative resemblance; primary evidence outranks anonymous assertion; historically constrained interpretation outranks retrospective numerology; and a hypothesis that can be falsified is stronger than one that explains every possible outcome.

1. Thesis, Scope, and Levels of Certainty#

The thesis of this paper is not that every interpretation proposed in the thread is equally false.

Rather:

The thread routinely moves from observation to identification without supplying the evidentiary bridge necessary to justify that identification.

This paper therefore distinguishes five epistemic categories.

1. Textually explicit#

The biblical text directly identifies something.

Example:

Dragon = Devil/Satan.

That is not merely one interpretive school’s preference; Revelation 12:9 states it explicitly.

2. Strongly textually inferred#

The text does not give a simple dictionary definition, but its literary structure strongly constrains interpretation.

Example:

The Revelation 13 Beast belongs to the biblical symbolism of kingdoms, imperial authority, persecution, blasphemy, and political dominion.

Daniel 7 describes successive beasts and then explicitly says:

“These great beasts, which are four, are four kings…”

The chapter further describes their dominion and kingdoms.

Revelation 13 deliberately combines Daniel’s:

• leopard
• bear
• lion
• horns
• dominion
• anti-saint warfare

3. Historically plausible interpretation#

A proposal fits the literary and historical environment but is not demonstrable beyond dispute.

Example:

666 may encode Nero Caesar.

This remains the prevailing modern scholarly proposal, though recent scholarship continues to challenge it.

4. Speculative but possible#

A claim is not contradicted by known evidence but lacks sufficient evidence for affirmation.

5. Contradicted or methodologically defective#

A claim conflicts with:

• explicit Scripture
• known facts
• mathematics
• documentary evidence

or its own logical requirements.

The paper therefore does not treat “unproven” as synonymous with “impossible.”

That distinction matters throughout.

2. Source Hierarchy and Research Methodology#

Different questions require different kinds of evidence.

The following hierarchy governs this investigation.

Tier 1 — Biblical text#

For biblical claims, the primary control is the biblical text itself, using the uploaded Authorized King James Version, Pure Cambridge Edition as the English textual basis for quotations in this paper.

Where Revelation interprets its own symbolism, its internal explanation receives priority.

Tier 2 — Biblical intertext and original historical context#

Revelation heavily depends on the Old Testament, especially:

• Daniel
• Ezekiel
• Isaiah
• Zechariah
• Exodus
• Psalms

and prophetic judgment imagery.

Interpretation therefore begins by asking:

Where has Scripture already used this imagery?

before asking:

What modern object resembles this imagery?

Tier 3 — Primary historical evidence#

Examples include:

ancient manuscripts;

original institutional statements;

contemporaneous documents;

original artwork descriptions;

astronomical observations;

historical literary texts.

Tier 4 — Specialist scholarship#

Peer-reviewed or university-published scholarship is especially useful for:

textual criticism;

historical reception;

psychology;

religious studies;

manuscript studies;

medieval literature.

Tier 5 — Governmental/scientific institutional evidence#

For questions such as asteroid trajectories, NASA/JPL orbital analysis carries substantially greater evidentiary weight than an anonymous internet prediction.

Tier 6 — Responsible journalism#

Journalism can document statements, events, disputes, and chronology but should preferably be checked against primary sources.

Tier 7 — Anonymous internet testimony#

Anonymous posts can be studied as claims.

They are poor evidence for those claims unless independent corroboration exists.

This does not mean anonymous testimony is automatically false. It means provenance, identity, access to information, motive, and reliability cannot ordinarily be verified.

3. Hermeneutical Controls for Reading Revelation#

Revelation is not a collection of free-floating symbols awaiting modern decoding.

It is simultaneously:

a revelation;

prophecy;

apocalyptic literature;

a circular letter to historical churches;

a deeply Old Testament-saturated Christian text.

Modern interpreters commonly distinguish:

• preterist
• historicist
• futurist
• idealist

approaches, with many commentators adopting combinations of them.

Whatever interpretive school one adopts, several controls should remain.

Control 1: Let explicit interpretation govern symbolism#

Revelation 12:9 identifies the Dragon.

Revelation 17 similarly interprets symbols:

“The seven heads are seven mountains…”

“And there are seven kings…”

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings…”

Therefore an interpretation that says “head = Statue of Liberty because it literally has a head with seven rays” must account for the text’s own symbolic explanation.

Control 2: Compare Scripture with Scripture#

Revelation 13 cannot responsibly be interpreted without Daniel 7.

Control 3: Respect the original audience#

Whatever Revelation ultimately predicts, it had to communicate meaningful theological content to first-century churches.

An interpretation depending entirely upon twenty-first-century:

• logo
• spoliticians
• acronyms
• computer technology
• English puns

or decimal notation therefore requires an explanation of why John’s original readers could meaningfully have received the prophecy.

Control 4: Distinguish fulfillment from analogy#

A modern empire might resemble beastly power.

That does not automatically make it the Beast.

A modern religious movement may contain teachings a Christian regards as antichristian.

That does not automatically establish it as the Revelation 13 Beast.

Control 5: Do not convert resemblance into identity#

Similarity is evidence only when the predicted identifying features are sufficiently specific and jointly distinctive.

Seven rays alone are not enough.

Composite animal imagery alone is not enough.

The number 33 alone is not enough.

A date ending in a symbolically interesting number is not enough.

4. Daniel 7 and Revelation 13: The Essential Intertext#

The strongest biblical control on the Beast is Daniel 7.

Daniel states that its beasts are kings arising from the earth.

Revelation’s composite Beast consequently looks less like an invitation to identify a random modern sculpture and more like a theological culmination of beastly empire.

Revelation 13 says:

“the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.”

The Beast then exercises authority over

“kindreds, and tongues, and nations,”

wages war against the saints, receives worship, and participates in economic coercion through the mark system.

A cautious definition is therefore:

The Beast represents satanically empowered, blasphemous, persecuting dominion expressed through political-imperial authority and demanding allegiance that properly belongs to God.

Different eschatological schools disagree over whether that reality is primarily:

• first-century Rome;
• a recurring imperial pattern;
• an unfolding historical institution;
• a final future regime;
• or some combination.

But those disagreements occur inside biblical constraints.

5. Antichrist, Beast, Dragon, False Prophet, and Man of Sin Are Not Interchangeable Terms#

Internet prophecy discussion frequently merges these categories.

That obscures what Scripture actually says.

Dragon#

Explicitly:

the Devil and Satan.

Sea Beast#

Appears in Revelation 13.

It is not explicitly called “Antichrist” there.

Second Beast / later False Prophet#

Revelation 13 introduces another beast associated with deception and worship of the first Beast.

Later Revelation calls a figure performing deceptive signs the “false prophet.”

Antichrist#

The term occurs in the Johannine epistles, not as Revelation’s normal title for its Beast.

1 John 2:18 says both:

“antichrist shall come”

and:

“even now are there many antichrists”

1 John 2:22 associates antichrist with denial concerning the Father and Son.

John therefore gives us at least three dimensions:

an anticipated antichrist;

many antichrists;

a spirit of antichrist.

The thread's assertion that Antichrist cannot be individual because it is collective overstates one side of John’s language.

Man of Sin#

Second Thessalonians 2 describes:

“that man of sin… the son of perdition”

and subsequently:

“that Wicked”

whose coming is associated with:

• satanic power
• signs
• deception

and final destruction at Christ's appearing.

Christians have long connected this figure with Antichrist, and the connection may be theologically reasonable.

But the distinction remains important:

Paul himself does not use the word “Antichrist” in 2 Thessalonians 2.

Good theology should distinguish what a passage calls something from later synthesis about what passages may describe the same reality.

6. Biblical Number Symbolism Versus Free-Form Numerology#

The thread claims:

“2/3 in decimal form is .666”

There are two separate problems.

Mathematical problem#

23=0.666666…\frac{2}{3}=0.666666\ldots

It is not exactly 0.666.

Furthermore, rounded to three decimal places:

0.666666…≈0.6670.666666\ldots\approx0.667

Obtaining .666 requires truncating, not normally rounding, the decimal.

Biblical problem#

Revelation does not say 0.666.

It says:

“his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

That is:

666666

not:

0.6660.666

The numerical argument therefore performs several undocumented operations:

1. invent a three-part anthropology;
2. remove one component;
3. represent the remainder as the fraction 2/3;
4. express it in modern decimal notation;
5. truncate it after three sixes;
6. ignore the decimal point;
7. equate the result with Revelation's integer 666;
8. convert that numerical resemblance into a theological identity.

Every transformation increases interpretive freedom.

That is exactly the opposite of good cryptanalysis.

A legitimate numerical identification needs constraints, not unlimited mathematical creativity.

7. Burden of Proof and Falsifiability#

For every extraordinary claim, six questions should be asked.

1. What exactly is being claimed?#

“Muslims control the country”

is too vague.

Control in what measurable sense?

• executive authority?
• legislature?
• banking ownership?
• military command?
• intelligence command?
• demographic majority?
• informal influence?
• cultural influence?

2. What evidence predicts the claim?#

Evidence found before the conclusion has greater value than patterns discovered after searching for a match.

3. What evidence would falsify it?#

If nothing could possibly count against the theory, the theory is epistemically weak.

4. What competing explanation exists?#

A UN sculpture might resemble Revelation because both draw upon widespread ancient composite-animal symbolism.

That explanation must be compared against

“the UN deliberately installed the prophetic Beast.”

5. How many assumptions are required?#

Every unsupported intermediate assumption reduces confidence.

6. Does Scripture constrain the identification?#

If Scripture explicitly says Dragon = Satan, a proposed Dragon = ethnic banking family interpretation faces a direct textual contradiction.

8. Recurring Reasoning Errors in the Thread#

Several recognizable reasoning structures recur.

Argument from resemblance#

“This resembles biblical imagery; therefore it is the biblical fulfillment.”

Resemblance can generate a hypothesis.

It cannot establish identity by itself.

Cherry-picking#

Matching details are emphasized while mismatching details disappear.

Example:

UN sculpture:

• composite animal — emphasized;
• one head rather than seven — ignored;
• no ten horns — ignored;
• no compulsory worship — ignored;
• no mark — ignored.

Non sequitur#

A true premise is followed by a conclusion that does not logically follow.

Dante wrote about souls entering hell before bodily death.

Therefore, real humans walking Earth are soulless demon-operated bodies.

The second statement does not follow from the first.

Equivocation#

The same term shifts meaning.

“Beast” can mean:

literal animal;

political kingdom;

morally degraded human;

supernatural monster;

religious system.

Sliding among these senses creates apparent connections that have not been demonstrated.

Guilt by association#

A person, ethnicity, institution, or religion is assigned collective guilt because some associated actors possess wealth, commit crimes, or hold objectionable beliefs.

Confirmation bias#

Matching evidence receives attention while disconfirming evidence is reinterpreted or ignored.

Post hoc interpretation#

An event occurs, after which symbols are retroactively found that supposedly predicted it.

Moving the goalposts#

When one prediction fails, the theory is reformulated rather than reconsidered.

Unfalsifiability#

Visible control proves conspiracy.

Lack of visible control proves conspiracy is secret.

Opposition proves conspiracy.

Tolerance of opposition proves controlled opposition.

Such a model absorbs every outcome.

9. Visual-Evidence Methodology#

Images have unusually high persuasive power because they create an immediate impression before textual analysis begins.

A rigorous image audit asks:

1. What is the original image?
2. Who created it?
3. When?
4. Where?
5. What is its original caption?
6. Was it cropped?
7. Was text added later?
8. Does the meme preserve the object's actual context?
9. Which visual features match the prophecy?
10. Which visual features contradict it?

Statue of Liberty#

The National Park Service states that the seven crown rays represent a radiant halo or aureole.

Its torch represents enlightenment, and the statue was dedicated in 1886 as “Liberty Enlightening the World.”

A person may criticize its classical iconography.

But seven rays do not become seven Revelation heads merely because both involve seven.

Additionally, Revelation 13 places the crowns upon the Beast's horns, whereas Revelation 12's Dragon bears crowns upon its heads.

That distinction substantially weakens the Statue-of-Liberty argument.

UN “Guardian” sculpture#

The sculpture genuinely existed.

It was an Oaxacan alebrije described as a fusion of jaguar and eagle and donated by the Government of Oaxaca.

A visual resemblance to biblical composite beasts is understandable.

But the Revelation Beast has:

seven heads;

ten horns;

ten crowns;

blasphemous names;

political authority;

worship;

persecution;

economic coercion.

The sculpture does not establish those characteristics.

The image therefore supports:

“This artwork visually reminded people of Revelation.”

It does not establish:

“This artwork is the Revelation Beast.”

10. The “True Fact → False Conclusion” Problem#

This is arguably the most important methodological issue in the entire thread.

Conspiracy narratives need not be composed entirely of fabricated facts.

They can use accurate facts connected by inaccurate inferences.

Example 1#

True: Apophis makes an unusually close Earth approach in 2029.

Unsupported leap: Therefore Apophis is Wormwood.

Example 2#

True: Dante describes souls entering hell while bodies continue living under demonic occupation.

Unsupported leap: Therefore real “NPCs” are soulless bodies whose souls have been replaced.

Are Some Humans “NPCs”? A Biblical, Psychological, Historical & Methodological Examination of the “Spiritless Human” Theory – Library of Rickandria

Example 3#

True: A composite jaguar/eagle sculpture stood outside UN headquarters.

Unsupported leap: Therefore the UN erected Revelation's Beast idol.

Example 4#

True: Revelation discusses seven heads.

True: The Statue of Liberty has seven crown rays.

Unsupported leap: Therefore the Statue is a Beast head.

Example 5#

True: Jewish individuals and families have participated prominently in various areas of international finance.

Unsupported leap: Therefore, Jews collectively constitute a hidden worldwide banking cabal identified with Revelation's Dragon.

The analytical question must therefore be:

Where exactly does the inference stop being demonstrated?

That is often where the theory fails.

11. Apocalyptic Date-Setting: 2029, 2046, and the Biblical Problem#

Thread post #42918319 predicts:

“2028-2029 is the latest time for the return of wormwood. 2046 is the end of the world as we know it.”

Neither date appears in Revelation.

Apophis and 2029#

The likely attraction is asteroid 99942 Apophis.

Apophis will make a spectacular close approach on April 13, 2029.

NASA states that it will pass safely and presents no danger during that encounter.

Updated observations have ruled out an impact risk for at least a century.

This is an important example of scientific self-correction.

Early post-discovery calculations temporarily permitted an impact probability.

Further observations constrained the orbit and eliminated that possibility.

A prophecy theory should therefore not freeze the early uncertainty while ignoring later measurements.

“Wormwood returns”#

Revelation does not say Wormwood previously appeared and will “return.”

It appears under the third trumpet.

The word “return” is therefore an interpretive addition.

“Wormwood triggers all Revelation topics”#

Literarily this is incorrect.

Many Revelation events occur before the third trumpet.

2046#

The thread provides no derivation.

A date may be correct accidentally.

But unsupported numerical assertion has essentially no evidential force.

Biblical corrective#

Jesus says:

“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man…”

and commands watchfulness precisely because the time is not known.

Acts 1:7 similarly records:

“It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.”

These verses do not forbid all study of prophetic chronology.

They do forbid treating speculative human calculations as though they possessed revealed certainty.

12. Historical Survey: Christians Have Repeatedly Identified Their Own Enemies with the Beast#

This history provides an important warning.

Christians across different eras have frequently interpreted Revelation through the dominant threats of their own time.

Rome / imperial interpretations#

Modern scholarship commonly emphasizes Revelation's anti-imperial Roman setting.

Nero#

Nero has long been a major proposed solution to 666, especially in modern scholarship.

Islam#

Anti-Islamic identifications appear in later Byzantine Revelation commentary traditions and manuscript marginalia. Oxford scholarship documents marginal Beast/666 comments reflecting anti-Islamic interpretation.

Therefore the thread's Islam/Beast association is not historically unprecedented.

But historical pedigree is not proof.

Papacy#

During the Reformation and post-Reformation periods, many Protestants identified the Papacy or Roman Church with the Beast/Antichrist.

Oxford historical work documents the persistence of papal-Beast interpretations and the 1,260-days-as-years system.

Futurist interpretations#

Many futurists anticipate a future individual ruler and/or world regime.

Idealist interpretations#

Idealists emphasize recurring beastly political structures throughout the church age.

The historical lesson is not:

All interpretations are equally wrong.

It is:

Every generation is strongly tempted to identify Revelation's symbols with whatever enemy it already fears.

That temptation requires methodological controls.

13. 666, 616, Nero, and Textual Criticism#

The thread's .666 argument becomes especially weak when compared with serious textual work.

The overwhelming manuscript tradition reads 666.

But an ancient variant reads 616.

Academic work documents 616 in early Greek and Latin textual traditions.

One influential explanation holds:

Greek-form “Neron Caesar” transliterated into Hebrew → 666;

Latin-form “Nero Caesar” without final n → 616.

This has helped make Nero the modern scholarly communis opinio.

Yet recent scholarship continues to challenge the Nero solution and argues for alternative imperial referents.

That uncertainty is healthy.

It demonstrates the difference between:

constrained historical cryptanalysis

and

unrestricted modern numerology.

Responsible work on 666 asks:

• What numerical systems existed?
• What languages were relevant?
• What name forms existed?
• What would John's readers understand?
• Can 616 be explained?
• Is the interpretation historically attested?
• Are alternative solutions stronger?

The thread's:

2/3→.666→6662/3 \rightarrow .666 \rightarrow 666

passes none of those tests.

14. Genealogy of the Jewish Banking / Hidden-Cabal Claim#

Thread post #42924352 identifies:

“Jewish international banking families”

with the Dragon and combines them with reptilian-hybrid mythology.

This requires separate biblical and historical analysis.

Biblical problem#

Revelation explicitly identifies the Dragon as Satan.

Therefore:

Jewish ethnicity ≠ Dragon.

One may argue that any individual, government, financial institution, religious organization, or empire can act wickedly or become an instrument of evil.

That remains categorically different from turning an ethnic population into Satan's symbolic identity.

Historical genealogy#

The claim that Jews secretly coordinate international finance, governments, media, and world events belongs to a documented history of antisemitic conspiracy literature.

The most famous example is The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a fraudulent text claiming to record secret Jewish plans for world domination.

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum documents that the Protocols falsely alleges:

Jewish control of:

• politics
• economics
• financial markets
• media
• education
• religion

and has repeatedly been exposed as fraudulent.

This historical fact does not immunize Jewish institutions or persons from investigation.

The correct distinction is:

Legitimate investigation#

“Did this named bank manipulate this market?”

“Did this named financier fund this political program?”

“Did this named lobbying group exercise improper influence?”

These are specific, falsifiable questions.

Illegitimate collective theory#

“Jewish banking families secretly control the world because they are Jews.”

That transforms particular evidence into collective ethnic guilt.

Reptilian fusion#

The thread then adds reptilian ancestry.

Academic religious-studies literature identifies David Icke's “Reptilian Thesis” as a modern New Age/conspiracy construction involving hidden nonhuman rulers.

No credible biological evidence is supplied in the thread for reptilian-human hybrids.

The theory therefore combines:

historical antisemitic financial-cabal mythology

• modern extraterrestrial/reptilian mythology
• Revelation terminology.

That synthesis is culturally identifiable.

It is not evidentially demonstrated.

15. Islam, Taqiyya, and the Difference Between Theological Criticism and Collective Accusation#

Thread post #42918245 claims:

“Islam is the beast.”

and:

“Muslims lie to infidels all the time.”

These are different claims.

Christian theological criticism of Islam#

Christianity and Islam make incompatible claims concerning Christ.

Therefore, a Christian may legitimately argue from 1 John that denial of the Father/Son confession belongs to an antichristological pattern.

1 John 2:22 says:

“He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”

That permits serious Christian theological criticism.

But it does not automatically establish:

Islam = Revelation 13 Beast.

The latter requires additional exegesis.

Taqiyya#

The sweeping assertion that Muslims simply lie to unbelievers “all the time” is historically inaccurate.

Encyclopaedia Iranica describes taqiyya in Shi‘i history as religious discretion/concealment associated especially with periods of danger and persecution and notes that it functioned as a temporary measure under threat, though jurisprudential treatment later became more developed.

There are legitimate debates over Islamic jurisprudence, deception under war conditions, sectarian dissimulation, and the historical boundaries of taqiyya.

Those debates should use primary Islamic texts and qualified scholarship.

They should not be converted into:

“Every Muslim may always lie to every non-Muslim.”

That is a population-level stereotype unsupported by the doctrine's actual complexity.

16. What Revelation Actually Warns Christians About#

Internet prophecy discussions can become fascinated with discovering secret identities while missing Revelation's explicit moral demands.

The book warns repeatedly about:

idolatry;

false worship;

blasphemous political power;

persecution;

economic coercion;

deception;

compromise;

counterfeit religion;

allegiance to anti-God authority;

apostasy;

endurance under suffering.

Revelation 13 does not praise the saints for successfully naming every intermediary institution.

It emphasizes:

“Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”

Revelation 12 says the saints overcome the Dragon:

“by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony”

and through costly faithfulness.

The practical biblical question is therefore not merely:

“Can I identify the Beast?”

but:

“Will I remain faithful to Christ when political, economic, social, or religious pressure demands compromise?”

That is much harder—and much closer to Revelation's stated concern.

17. Satan Himself Versus Satan's Instruments#

The identification:

Dragon = Satan

does not mean Satan never works through earthly institutions.

Biblically, satanic purposes can operate through human action.

But theological precision requires maintaining the distinction between:

ontological identity#

“This person/group is Satan/the Dragon.”

and:

instrumental action#

“This person/group acts in a way consistent with satanic deception or opposition to God.”

Revelation itself models this distinction.

The Dragon gives authority to the Beast.

Thus:

Dragon ≠ Beast, even though the Beast is empowered by the Dragon.

That alone undermines attempts to collapse:

• Satan
• governments
• religious movements
• ethnic groups
• ancient monsters
• political institutions

into one interchangeable symbol.

18. Dehumanizing Language: “NPCs,” “Slave Races,” and “Reptilians”#

Several posts move beyond criticizing beliefs or institutions and begin denying or degrading the humanity of entire categories.

Examples include:

“NPCs”;

“slave races”;

reptilian hybrids;

soulless humans.

This matters because dehumanization changes the moral character of an argument.

A person who is mistaken remains human.

A deceiver remains human.

An idolater remains human.

A persecutor remains human.

A sinner remains human.

Scripture never teaches that accepting antichrist teaching literally ejects the human soul and turns a person into a metaphysical nonperson.

Revelation 7 instead portrays the redeemed multitude as coming:

“of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues”

before the Lamb.

Biblical spiritual conflict therefore does not authorize racial ontology.

Likewise, describing opponents as “NPCs” can psychologically simplify moral conflict by treating them as objects instead of persons capable of:

• truth
• error
• repentance
• responsibility
• judgment

The Christian response to deception is:

test;

discern;

rebuke when necessary;

speak truth;

preach Christ;

love enemies;

reject falsehood.

It is not to invent a class of human-looking beings who supposedly lack souls.

19. Psychology: Pattern Perception, Agency Detection, Motivation, and Safeguards Against Armchair Diagnosis#

Psychological analysis must be handled carefully.

Nothing in an anonymous post permits a responsible diagnosis of:

schizophrenia;

psychosis;

mania;

delusional disorder;

intoxication;

personality disorder;

or any other psychiatric condition.

The correct subject is reasoning behavior visible in the text, not the unseen mental health of the poster.

Illusory pattern perception#

Experimental research has found associations between conspiracy/supernatural belief and perceiving patterns in random or chaotic information.

This does not mean:

“Pattern detection is irrational.”

Pattern detection is essential to human cognition.

The error occurs when false-positive patterns receive more confidence than the evidence warrants.

Hypersensitive agency detection#

Conspiracy narratives often convert events into intentional hidden action.

Instead of:

“The sculpture resembles biblical imagery,”

the interpretation becomes:

“They intentionally placed the Beast in public.”

Instead of:

“The asteroid passes unusually close,”

the interpretation becomes:

“This was prophetically scheduled as Wormwood.”

The leap is from pattern to agent.

Epistemic motives#

Psychological research categorizes several motivations associated with conspiracy belief.

One is epistemic:

desire for explanation, certainty, and coherence when events seem confusing.

Existential motives#

Another concerns control, security, and managing threatening uncertainty.

Social motives#

A third involves identity, belonging, and the distinction between those who “see” and those who remain deceived.

• Douglas
• Sutton
• Cichocka

summarize these as epistemic, existential, and social motives.

Importantly, they also stress that real elites and institutions can indeed conspire, so research on conspiracy beliefs should not rest upon the assumption that secret coordination never occurs.

Self-sealing belief structures#

The psychologically important problem arises when disconfirmation is absorbed as confirmation:

“They deny it because it is true.”

“No evidence exists because they destroyed it.”

“Critics are controlled opposition.”

“The conspiracy allows critics to exist to create the illusion of freedom.”

Once every imaginable world confirms the same belief, evidence can no longer discipline the theory.

20. 4chan /x/, Anonymity, Irony, Trolling, and Epistemic Ambiguity#

The medium itself matters.

Thread No. 42917676 contains:

sincere-sounding prophecy claims;

one-word dismissals;

jokes;

bizarre associative language;

occult-coded aesthetics;

hostility;

memes;

numerology;

ambiguous threats;

apparent irony.

The researcher usually cannot determine whether an anonymous poster is:

completely sincere;

partly sincere and partly joking;

baiting respondents;

constructing an alternate-reality-game atmosphere;

role-playing;

copying material from elsewhere;

deliberately fabricating;

experimenting with “schizopost” aesthetics;

or attempting genuine testimony.

John Suler's classic discussion of the online disinhibition effect identifies anonymity and related online conditions as factors that can change how people express themselves.

This has a direct evidentiary consequence:

Anonymous-board content should be analyzed as a proposition, not accepted as testimony merely because it sounds insider-like.

The more a post relies upon:

“I know hidden things you do not,”

the more provenance matters.

21. Steelmanning the Thread: The Strongest Version of Its Concerns#

A fair rebuttal should state what the thread is right to worry about.

Governments can conspire#

History demonstrates:

• covert operations
• propaganda
• secret agreements
• intelligence abuses
• corruption
• illegal surveillance
• political manipulation
• institutional cover-ups

Financial power can become dangerous#

Economic concentration can create genuine political influence and moral hazards.

International institutions deserve scrutiny#

No institution becomes infallible because it uses humanitarian language.

Religious systems can promote serious error#

Christian theology necessarily evaluates competing doctrinal claims.

Political systems can become beastlike#

Revelation explicitly warns about coercive:

• political authority
• persecution
• false worship
• economic pressure

Technology can intensify economic control#

Modern digital infrastructure could make economic exclusion dramatically easier than in many earlier periods.

That is worth sober ethical and prophetic reflection.

Symbols can be intentional#

Artists, governments, corporations, and religious institutions frequently use symbolism deliberately.

Therefore symbolic analysis itself is not irrational.

Deception is biblical#

Scripture repeatedly warns that deception exists.

The steelmanned position is therefore:

“We should remain alert to the possibility that modern political, technological, financial, or religious systems may embody patterns Revelation warns against.”

That proposition is defensible.

What does not follow is:

“Therefore whichever modern object resembles a symbol, whichever minority group is distrusted, or whichever number can be manipulated into 666 has been prophetically identified.”

Discernment requires both openness and restraint.

22. What Evidence Would Change the Paper's Conclusions?#

A good investigation must state in advance what could alter its judgments.

A hidden political-control claim would gain credibility from:#

authenticated internal documents;

independently corroborated whistleblowers;

financial records;

command structures;

communications;

court evidence;

verifiable operational predictions.

An intentional Revelation-symbolism claim would gain credibility from:#

artist statements;

institutional planning documents;

correspondence explicitly invoking Revelation;

evidence of intended worship;

deliberate replication of distinctive Revelation features.

A 2029 asteroid-Wormwood claim would gain credibility from:#

new observational data showing a credible Earth impact trajectory;

independent astronomical confirmation;

a prophecy calculation documented before orbital evidence became known;

a defensible textual reason equating that object with Revelation 8.

Current NASA data instead show Apophis safely passing Earth.

A reptilian-hybrid claim would require:#

independently verifiable biological evidence;

reproducible genetic data;

physical specimens;

qualified laboratories;

transparent chain of custody.

• Internet photographs
• eye artifacts
• video compression glitches
• symbolic art
• anonymous testimony

are insufficient.

A modern 666 identification would become stronger if:#

the encoding method were historically appropriate;

the rules were specified before the target was chosen;

spelling choices were non-arbitrary;

the solution explained 616 where relevant;

the referent fit Revelation's broader description;

alternative names did not generate equal or better results.

The willingness to state such conditions demonstrates that this paper is not committed to disbelief regardless of evidence.

23. Evidence-Grading System#

Every major claim in the thread can be assigned one of the following categories.

A — Textually explicit#

Directly stated by Scripture.

Example: Dragon = Satan.

B — Strongly supported#

Multiple independent lines of evidence converge.

Example: Revelation 13 consciously draws upon Daniel 7's kingdom-beasts.

C — Plausible interpretation#

Fits available evidence but competing explanations remain serious.

Example: Nero as 666.

D — Possible but unverified#

No decisive contradiction, but insufficient evidence.

E — Unsupported#

Claim is asserted without adequate evidence.

F — Contradicted#

Conflicts with strong documentary, textual, scientific, or mathematical evidence.

U — Unfalsifiable as stated#

Claim is framed so that no conceivable evidence could count against it.

This grading system prevents the crude binary:

“Either proven or impossible.”

24. Full Claim Ledger: Post-by-Post Audit#

The live thread presently records the OP and nineteen subsequent replies through post #42925939.

#42917676 — OP#

Claim/question: Are Revelation-level events coming soon? What do Beast and Dragon symbolize?

Grade: Legitimate question.

Biblical correction: Begin with Revelation's own definitions before modern speculation.

Dragon: A — textually explicit: Satan.

Beast: B — strongly Danielic kingdom/imperial symbolism.

Timing: Unknown beyond what Scripture reveals.

Mark 13 combines watchfulness with admitted lack of precise knowledge.

#42917991 — “Idk”#

Grade: No substantive claim.

Epistemically, admitted ignorance is preferable to fabricated certainty.

#42918245 — “Islam is the beast”#

Grade: D/E — interpretive proposal without demonstration.

Historical Christians have made anti-Islamic Beast identifications, so the idea has historical precedent.

But Revelation does not identify Islam by name.

Christian criticism of Islamic Christology may legitimately invoke Johannine antichrist categories; that does not automatically establish Islam as Revelation's Beast.

#42918245 — Statue of Liberty as one Beast head#

Grade: F — textually mismatched and historically unsupported.

Revelation 17 associates heads with mountains/kings.

The Statue's rays are officially explained as a radiant halo/aureole.

Additionally, Revelation 13 puts ten crowns on the Beast's horns, not seven crowns on the seven heads.

#42918245 — Muslims “lie to infidels all the time”#

Grade: F — false collective generalization.

Taqiyya has a more specific jurisprudential and historical context, prominently including concealment under threat.

The behavior of individual Muslims must be judged individually.

#42918245 — hidden Muslim control#

Grade: U unless “control” is operationally defined.

If absence of visible control itself becomes proof of secret control, the claim becomes self-sealing.

#42918245 — “Klingon sorts” Dragon#

Grade: E/F.

No biblical derivation.

Revelation already identifies the Dragon as Satan.

#42918319 — 2028–2029 Wormwood#

Grade: E as prophecy; F if intended as an Apophis impact prediction.

NASA states Apophis will safely pass Earth in 2029 and poses no known impact threat for at least a century.

#42918319 — 2046 end of present world order#

Grade: E.

No derivation is supplied.

No biblical passage names 2046.

#42918319 — Wormwood triggers “all Revelation topics”#

Grade: F at the literary level.

Wormwood occurs at the third trumpet after numerous preceding Revelation scenes and judgments.

#42918539 — “Proof?”#

Grade: Methodologically excellent.

This is the correct question after a precise prediction.

Compare:

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”

1 Thessalonians 5:21.

#42918608 — “Snake Eyes” cryptic post#

Grade: Indeterminate.

The post mixes references, jokes, numbers, possible coded language, pop culture, sexual language, and a stated intention to communicate hidden knowledge.

No decoding system is supplied.

The presence of “33” does not independently establish code.

No psychiatric diagnosis is warranted from the text.

#42918621 — humans consist of mind/body/soul#

Grade: C/D as philosophical anthropology; overstated as undisputed biblical doctrine.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 speaks of:

“spirit and soul and body”

not

“mind, body and soul.”

Christian dichotomist and trichotomist models have long differed.

#42918621 — removing soul produces Beast#

Grade: E.

No biblical text teaches this transformation.

#42918621 — 2/3 = .666#

Grade: F.

2/3=0.666666…2/3=0.666666\ldots

and rounding to three decimals yields .667.

Moreover Revelation says 666, not .666.

#42918621 — Dante's frozen lake / living bodies#

Grade: A as a description of Dante.

Inferno XXXIII indeed portrays certain souls descending into Ptolomea before biological death while demons govern their bodies. Dartmouth's Dante Lab documents the passage.

But: literary accuracy does not prove metaphysical reality.

#42918621 — Antichrist is collective, never individual#

Grade: F as an exclusive claim.

1 John 2:18 contains both an anticipated singular antichrist and “many antichrists.”

#42918621 — spirit of Antichrist replaces human soul#

Grade: E.

No Johannine passage describes soul replacement.

#42919246 — Beast = amalgamation; Dragon = destruction; Mercury/Jupiter = NWO#

Grade: E.

No exegetical derivation connects these identities.

The Tower of Babel can reasonably be used typologically for human pride and rebellious centralized unity.

That does not establish a Mercury/Jupiter prophetic cipher.

#42921966 — “Boomers” planning Star Wars/Noah scenario#

Grade: E.

No identifiable planners, documents, institutional mechanism, or corroborating evidence are supplied.

#42922638 — UN sculpture#

Claim implied: artwork represents Revelation Beast.

Grade: D as visual analogy; E/F as prophetic identification.

The sculpture really existed and was described as a jaguar/eagle alebrije.

But visual resemblance does not satisfy Revelation's identifying features.

#42923033 — sculpture is blasphemy#

Grade: D/E.

“Blasphemy” requires a theological object or action, not merely grotesque aesthetics.

Evidence of intentional mockery or worship would strengthen the claim.

#42924008 — UN removed sculpture because it was too obvious#

Grade: F based on currently available documentation.

UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said it was a temporary exhibit organized by Mexico's Permanent Mission and was removed on schedule December 20, 2021.

Could that explanation theoretically be false?

Yes.

But evidence is needed to establish that.

Suspicion alone does not reverse the evidentiary burden.

#42924029 — Job 41 material#

The cited imagery genuinely concerns Leviathan.

KJV:

“Out of his nostrils goeth smoke…”

“His breath kindleth coals…”

Grade: A for identification of the Job passage.

#42924029 — Leviathan = Abaddon = Yam = other coded entities#

Grade: E.

The post places biblical and extra-biblical references adjacent to each other without demonstrating identity.

Juxtaposition is not equivalence.

#42924029 — Abaddon/Apollyon#

Revelation 9 does name the angel of the bottomless pit Abaddon/Apollyon.

But Revelation does not thereby identify that angel with Leviathan or Satan.

#42924029 — Two Witnesses material#

The quoted Revelation 11 themes are genuine.

But unexplained tokens such as “ME 33 CC,” Roman-numeral arrangements, and “El HA YAM” require an externally justified decoding rule.

Without one, almost unlimited retrofitting becomes possible.

#42924042 — “Should have write YM”#

Grade: Cryptic correction only.

It supplies no independent support for the larger decoding system.

#42924352 — Beast = “slave races”#

Grade: F as biblical identification.

Revelation's Beast is an authority ruling peoples, not a racial category of allegedly inferior peoples.

#42924352 — Dragon = Jewish international bankers#

Grade: F.

Revelation explicitly says Dragon = Devil/Satan.

The banking-cabal claim also belongs to a historically documented antisemitic conspiracy genealogy.

#42924352 — reptilian hybrids#

Grade: E.

No independently verifiable biological evidence supplied.

The claim resembles modern reptilian conspiracism studied in religious-studies scholarship.

#42924352 — future totalitarian world government#

Grade: C/D as a possible futurist inference when stated generally.

Revelation 13 does portray vast authority and economic coercion.

But that does not identify any particular modern ethnic group or cabal.

#42924352 — “true dissidents are allowed to exist” because rulers work by proxy#

Grade: U.

This is self-sealing unless criteria are specified that could disprove the hypothesis.

#42924362 — “no, you ignorant fools”#

Grade: No argument.

Insult supplies no evidentiary weight.

#42924394 — perhaps another two millennia#

Grade: E.

No derivation.

Being less sensational does not make an unsupported date more evidential.

#42924424 — criticism of “allowed to exist”#

Grade: Strong internal critique.

The responder correctly notices that the previous claim rhetorically assigns alleged hidden rulers near-sovereign authority over who is permitted to exist.

Within a biblical worldview, ultimate sovereignty does not belong to a secret financial/reptilian cabal.

#42925520 — “Cool”#

No claim.

#42925939 — “Wormwood will be lit”#

Primarily humor/hype.

It adds no evidentiary content.

25. Image-Provenance Appendix#

Image A — Statue of Liberty#

Verified context#

• Frederic Bartholdi's monument;
• dedicated October 28, 1886;
• official title: Liberty Enlightening the World;
• seven crown rays described by the National Park Service as a radiant halo/aureole;
• torch symbolizes enlightenment/liberty.

Prophecy assessment#

Resemblance: sevenfold head adornment.

Major mismatches: Revelation 13's crowns are on ten horns; Revelation 17 interprets heads as mountains/kings.

Verdict: visual association, not identification.

Image B — Tower of Babel#

Biblical control#

Genesis 11 legitimately provides imagery of:

unified humanity;

urban centralization;

making a name;

rebellion/pride;

divine judgment;

dispersion.

Prophecy assessment#

It may be used typologically in discussions of centralized human rebellion.

It does not establish Mercury/Jupiter/NWO equations.

Image C — UN Guardian sculpture#

Verified provenance#

displayed outside UN headquarters in 2021;

Oaxacan alebrije;

artists Jacobo and María Ángeles;

jaguar/eagle fusion;

temporary exhibit;

removed on the scheduled date December 20, 2021 according to the UN Secretary-General's spokesman.

Prophecy assessment#

Generic resemblance: composite beast imagery.

Missing Revelation characteristics:

• seven heads
• ten horns
• political rule
• compulsory worship
• persecution
• mark
• economic system

Verdict: legitimate visual comparison; unsupported prophetic identity.

Image D — “bahamoot.jpg”#

The thread attaches this image to a cryptic combination of Job 41, Abaddon, Two Witnesses language, number strings, and “El HA YAM.”

Assessment#

The surrounding Scripture fragments can be individually identified.

The proposed synthesis cannot be reconstructed confidently because no decoding rules are supplied.

The correct academic verdict is therefore:

insufficient information, not speculative reconstruction.

26. Scripture Appendix: Contexts That Should Control the Investigation#

The following passages should be read in full rather than mined for isolated phrases.

Daniel 2#

Themes:

human empires;

succession of kingdoms;

God's final kingdom.

Daniel 7#

Essential for interpreting Revelation's Beast:

sea;

beasts;

lion;

bear;

leopard;

ten horns;

blasphemous speech;

persecution;

judgment;

Son of Man;

kingdom interpretation.

The uploaded KJV explicitly interprets the beasts as kings.

Revelation 8#

Read Wormwood inside the trumpet sequence rather than as an isolated asteroid name.

Revelation 11#

Read the Two Witnesses in context before connecting them to modern codes.

Revelation 12#

Essential distinction:

Dragon = Devil/Satan.

Revelation 13#

Essential Beast features:

seven heads;

ten horns;

Danielic animal characteristics;

power from Dragon;

blasphemy;

broad authority;

persecution;

worship;

second Beast;

deceptive signs;

image;

mark;

economic coercion

666

Revelation 17#

Essential internal symbolic interpretation:

heads;

mountains;

kings;

horns;

kings;

peoples/nations imagery.

1 John 2#

Essential for Antichrist vocabulary:

anticipated antichrist;

many antichrists;

doctrinal denial concerning Father and Son.

1 John 4#

Essential for the “spirit of antichrist” concept.

The passage concerns:

• confession
• doctrine
• spiritual testing
• deception

—not literal removal of human souls.

2 Thessalonians 2#

Essential for the singular “man of sin,” deception, satanic signs, and final overthrow at Christ's appearing.

Mark 13#

Essential balance:

prophecy;

deception warnings;

watchfulness;

uncertainty regarding day/hour.

Acts 1#

Essential corrective to obsession over unrevealed timing:

“It is not for you to know the times or the seasons…”

1 Thessalonians 5#

Essential methodological posture:

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”

The same context teaches:

• sobriety
• patience
• goodness toward all men
• prayer
• sanctification

Job 40–41#

Essential for understanding Behemoth and Leviathan in the divine speeches.

The theological climax is God's incomparable mastery over what human beings cannot control.

27. Final Synthesis and Certainty Levels#

The evidence permits several conclusions at very different confidence levels.

What we can say with very high confidence#

1. Revelation explicitly identifies the Dragon as Satan.#

This is the clearest correction to the thread.

It is not:

Jewish people;

bankers;

Islam;

Klingons;

reptilian hybrids;

Jupiter;

a political party;

the UN;

or a monument.

Earthly institutions may be interpreted as satanic instruments, but they are not permitted to erase Revelation's own identification.

2. Revelation's Beast imagery is deeply dependent upon Daniel 7.#

Therefore kingdom, political authority, persecution, blasphemy, domination, and anti-God empire are central interpretive categories.

3. The thread's 2/3 → .666 → 666 argument fails mathematically and exegetically.#

4. Apophis is presently calculated to pass Earth safely in April 2029.#

Current NASA orbital data rule out the proposed 2029 impact scenario.

5. The UN sculpture genuinely existed.#

But presently available evidence says it was a temporary jaguar/eagle artwork removed on its planned schedule.

6. Dante genuinely described condemned souls leaving still-living bodies to demons.#

But Dante's literary theology is not empirical proof that such people exist.

7. The Jewish-world-banking conspiracy has a documented antisemitic historical genealogy.#

The Protocols and related literature falsely alleged secret Jewish domination of global finance, politics, media, and society.

8. Reptilian-hybrid claims remain without credible biological evidence.#

They are recognizable within modern conspiracist/New Age religious mythology.

What remains legitimately debatable#

The precise historical identity of Revelation's Beast#

Christians and scholars continue to disagree.

Rome is central to many first-century readings.

Nero remains a major 666 proposal.

Historicists have identified later institutions.

Futurists expect a climactic future manifestation.

Idealists emphasize recurring beastly empire.

These positions should be compared using Scripture, history, language, and context—not caricature.

Whether Revelation anticipates a final worldwide political-economic regime#

A futurist reading can reasonably infer extraordinarily broad coercive authority from Revelation 13.

That remains different from identifying a particular contemporary institution without evidence.

Exactly how 666 should be solved#

Nero remains influential, but scholarly debate continues, and the 616 textual variant deserves serious treatment.

Final Methodological Rule: The Inference Audit#

Every prophecy or conspiracy claim examined in future work should be reduced to the following form:

Observed fact
→ proposed interpretation
→ hidden assumption
→ competing explanation
→ evidence required
→ biblical constraint
→ falsification condition
→ confidence level
→ verdict.

For example:

Apophis#

Observed fact: Apophis passes extraordinarily close to Earth in 2029.

Interpretation: It is Wormwood.

Hidden assumption: Revelation's Wormwood is a modern asteroid whose date can be astronomically identified.

Competing explanation: It is simply a naturally occurring close asteroid encounter.

Evidence required: textual identification plus impact trajectory.

Scientific constraint: NASA predicts safe passage.

Biblical constraint: Revelation supplies no Apophis identity or 2029 date.

Verdict: unsupported; an impact prediction is contradicted by present orbital data.

UN sculpture#

Observed fact: UN displayed a jaguar/eagle composite sculpture.

Interpretation: Revelation Beast idol.

Hidden assumption: visual composite-animal resemblance establishes prophetic identity.

Competing explanation: Oaxacan alebrije artistic tradition.

Evidence required: intentional Revelation correspondence, worship, or other distinctive Beast features.

Documentary evidence: temporary Mexican exhibit, scheduled removal.

Biblical constraint: Revelation Beast includes multiple features absent from sculpture.

Verdict: visually evocative but unproven.

Jewish banking families#

Observed fact: particular Jewish individuals have held influence within finance, as have individuals from many other populations.

Interpretation: Jews collectively constitute the Dragon's international banking system.

Hidden assumption: ethnicity converts individual/institutional influence into coordinated collective agency.

Competing explanation: heterogeneous institutions and individuals acting from diverse economic, political, personal, and ideological motives.

Evidence required: demonstrable coordination and command structure.

Historical warning: substantially similar collective-control allegations are central to documented antisemitic conspiracy propaganda.

Biblical constraint: Dragon = Satan.

Verdict: textually contradicted as Dragon identification and unsupported as a collective ethnic conspiracy.

Conclusion#

The thread is most revealing not because every statement in it is false, but because many pieces are true.

Apophis is real.

Its 2029 approach is real.

The UN sculpture was real.

The Statue of Liberty has seven rays.

Dante really wrote the strange scene attributed to him.

Job really describes Leviathan with smoke and fire imagery.

Revelation really contains a Beast, a Dragon, 666, international authority, persecution, deception, and economic coercion.

Antichrist teaching really exists in John's epistles.

Governments really can become oppressive.

Powerful people really can conspire.

Symbols really can be intentional.

Those truths make the thread's larger conclusions psychologically persuasive.

But facts do not become evidence for a conclusion merely because they can be placed beside one another.

The decisive question is always the arrow between them.

Why does A imply B?

That is where the thread repeatedly fails.

A seven-rayed statue does not become a seven-headed Beast.

A .666 decimal resemblance does not become 666.

A close asteroid does not become Wormwood.

A medieval poem does not prove soulless human bodies.

A winged jaguar does not become the Revelation Beast.

A wealthy Jewish banker does not turn an ethnic people into Satan.

A hidden-power theory does not become stronger merely because evidence for it is absent.

The Christian alternative is not naïveté.

It is disciplined discernment.

Scripture itself tells believers both to watch and to test.

It warns about deception while forbidding falsehood.

It warns about evil powers while insisting that the Dragon's identity is Satan.

It warns about Antichrist while simultaneously commanding truth and love.

It warns about future judgment while restraining presumptuous chronology.

And therefore the proper posture toward prophetic speculation is neither gullibility nor automatic dismissal.

It is:

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”— 1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV

The goal is not to become impossible to deceive because we distrust everything.

The goal is to become harder to deceive because we test everything—including claims that tell us exactly what we already fear or want to believe.

Soli Deo Gloria.
