(Railroads-Related Scenes in Japan) Revelation, Armageddon, and Possible Catastrophe
Yes, the Revelation of the King James Version can be interpreted as prophesying the Sept. 11 Terror that occurred in 2001:
-------------------
Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Rev 9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Rev 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
----------------------
No matter who Apollyon means, one woe must be the terror on the East Coast of the United States and two woes must be the Iraqi War and the Afghan War, since at the paragraph 9:14 it clearly indicated “the great river Euphrates.”
But, the prospect of the prophecy on this era is not rosy at all:
----------------------
Rev 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Rev 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Rev 9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
----------------------
In short, wars using modern weapons, such as those the U.S. has abundantly, are expected to continue. On the other hand, related or involved countries, such as the U.S. and the U.K., will experience further degradation of morals.
Subprime-loan scheme type frauds will be further devised and carried out by Mafia-like businessmen in the global money market; even top leaders of nations will be openly engaged in fornication while their society is full of cases of divorce and domestic violence.
Yet, if not the global insurgents accompanied by armed conflicts and wars, the world can face the Armageddon-like catastrophe owing to the largest economic depression as happened in late 1920’s.

Wall Street's Greatest Crime
Blatant Ignorance of Market History
by Robert B. Gordon, Sc.D.
November 2, 2002
….
But the long standing crimes we are discussing will not end with layoffs forced by dwindling revenues. The crime of ignorance exists at all levels in the financial services industry from the newest college hires to the CEO's. Unfortunately, there are no laws protecting investors from the pervasive ignorance in Wall Street. And there are no agencies to raise a red flag such as exist for crimes of theft and fraud. The biggest problem of all is that this is truly a hidden crime, unrecognized and unpublicized. That is why I decided to write this essay and to wake up America to the criminals hiding in their midst.
….
Noted economist John Kenneth Galbraith wrote his stern warnings in "The Great Crash of 1929". It was published in 1955 about the time that the Dow had reached its former peak price. His recognition of the crimes of Wall Street is exemplified in the excerpts below:
Page 27: Conspiracy theories
"Even in such a time of madness as the late twenties, a great many man in Wall Street remained quite sane. But they also remained very quiet. The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil. Perhaps this is inherent. In a community where the primary concern is making money, one of the necessary rules is to live and let live. To speak out against madness may be to ruin those who have succumbed to it. So the wise in Wall Street are nearly always silent. The foolish thus have the field to themselves. None rebukes them."
So, from the last two lines we learn that, in addition to the crime of ignorance, still greater may be the crime of silence from those wise enough to recognize a mania.
Page 28: Unwise to be sane in an insane time
"Governments were either bemused as were the speculators or they deemed it unwise to be sane at a time when sanity exposed one to ridicule, condemnation for spoiling the game, or the threat of severe political retribution."
….
Elliott proved beyond all doubt that (1) stock waves represent the unthinking acts of crowds of investors, (2) stock waves cause booms and busts and finally (3) stock waves cause changes in moods in society.. The stock market affects social actions in the real world. Outside news events do not cause more than short term effects on the stock market. This is apparently too difficult a change in thinking for even our best minds in academia, Wall Street and government.
Ralph Elliott will some day receive overdue recognition for his great discovery. We now have conclusive evidence of its validity over 400 years of stock market history. The evidence is crystal clear……if anyone in Wall Street had this vital information before the events transpired, they were surely not publicizing it to anyone.
VERDICT: GUILTY AS CHARGED
No one in Wall Street will go to jail for plain ignorance or stupidity. There used to be a weeding-out process in corporations to prevent idiots from reaching the corner office on the top floor. For the moment, let's assume it is still there and the CEOs are all brainy and well educated. Did they know about the Elliott Wave prediction of the mania and double their sales force? Did some of them recognize the bubble and still order "full speed ahead"? We leave to our readers the task of trying to answer those questions.
…
Several readers have suggested the conspiracy theory that our leaders in Washington and Wall Street had full knowledge of the Mania and Crash but decided not to tell the public for fear of making the problem worse and creating a panic. If that is true then some of them must have read the classic books reported earlier. The truth from all of recorded history is that, in each and every past mania, the stock prices eventually dropped below the starting level. It is understandable that leaders would not want to see this information publicized. However, Elliott Wave experts continue to expect that the Dow index will eventually fall below 1000. One can only wonder what the state of our nation will be if and when that event occurs.

--------------------------------------------------
There are many arguments on the Elliott Wave, though it has no scientifically proven underlying theory. It might just happen to match the past phenomenon in the stock market.
Yet, it can be a tip of an iceberg consisting of legitimate caveats and practical warnings to the general public as well as governments and sane or humane players in the global money market.
Even if the probability is just one to 100,000, any possibility and concern that the Armageddon-like catastrophe owing to the largest economic depression may happen in the near future is worth respecting.

There is no asserting at all that the Elliott curve will not guide the future trends of New York Stock Exchange indexes and oil prices in addition to gold and foods' prices.

My old Windows XP PC again failed to play a music sound.
I ran anti-spyware software such as Ad-Ware and Spybot in vain.
So, I restored the state of the PC to that of a few weeks ago, using an XP OS function.
It worked well. Now I can check some of music, say, in the Fuku-Chan site, though this kind of online free music provision is legally discussed by responsible lawmakers here and there, if a copyright issue is cleared...

Rev 10:1 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:
Rev 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
Rev 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
