Ten Days Tribulation

Some are claiming that the ten days that are mentioned in Revelation Chapter 2 is to do with the tribulation that is for everyone. However, the chapter is very specific and a day can be a year in Judaism. The prophecy asks people to be faithful until the end, even to the point of death, and it states I will give you life as your victor's crown. Smyrna was part of ancient Greece and was swallowed up by Turkey, its on the coastline.

The name Smyrna is related to a Greek myth derived from what wiki states as an 'eponymous Amazon'. Its also an ancient Greek word for myrrh. The Amazons were a nation of all-female warriors in Classical antiquity and Greek mythology. Historians have placed them as being in many cultures and they were often Queens that led their people. It is written that they created Smyrna and that is how it got its name.

Classicist Peter Walcott wrote, "Wherever the Amazons are located by the Greeks, whether it is somewhere along the Black Sea in the distant north-east, or in Libya in the furthest south, it is always beyond the confines of the civilized world. The Amazons exist outside the range of normal human experience". [1]

Modern day one could view the Amazon archetype as the women that took on the men in the corporations, doing a man's job in a man's world, and in so doing they helped to change the face of humanity and its workforce. However, as we explained before everything as its time and place, everything as its cost. When a woman starts her own business in integrity, it can trigger a lot of issues for others. Especially if she is successful, good at her job and beats the men when competing for business.  Female winners tend to trigger the men and their partners, because they feel threatened by an Amazon Queen that is larger than life itself. I remember a man asking me after I gave a lecture, 'Where did you come from?".

Notably, it is written that the Amazons were abandoned by warriors and unfaithful lovers. Most men have a need to feel 'needed' and the Amazon Queen requires no man for her salvation. She can make her own way in the world, she can stand alone. It is usually the case that both men and women lean on her, and seek her for support. She is a rock that is always there for those that turn to her and those that do, truly love her.

The women formed their own nation to stop men having the power and control over them. Another reason why many started their own businesses. However, although one can view it as freedom, the reality is that it is the complete opposite, one is restricted and confined with responsibility and commitment. Business women were persecuted as the scripture states by the men, they were also imprisoned metaphorically by the governments and its tax collectors. They were no longer free to be who they chose to be.

There is an echo of a prophecy from Prophet Isaiah that some will be driven away to build a new strong nation elsewhere, a place where no man will have any power over them.



When a person runs their own successful business, it brings its own trials and tribulations. Up and downs like a roller coaster. What is interesting is the mention of ten days in the scripture, because I ran my own agency for just under ten years before my soul began to cry. I got to the point where I simply could not do it anymore, I had to be true to spiritual self and my femininity. I had to return to my purest essence.

The text then speaks of the second death. "The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death." For Christians to understand the second death, first they have to understand the first death. Revelation chapter 20 gives a little more explanation. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.


Notice that text is very clear defining being priests of God and of Christ. Two different realities. Who are the blessed and holy? In the scripture it calls the healers holy. Hence, why the text also tells you that the angels are harvesters at the end of the age. The Angels of Elohim. 


Chapter 20 also speaks of the thrones (of the spiritual elders) those who have been given authority to judge. Earlier in the text it tells you that the saints are given that authority, the time of judgement is when the Queen of the South comes to judge this generation. He warned the Jewish priests that would begin when the sign of Jonah arrived in Israel. The sign turned up in May 2010, and Jewish New Year, 5 million trees burned on Mount Carmel. 


It finishes with the judgement by the one that sits upon the white throne, the earth and heaven fled from his presence and there was no place for them. In the Michelangelo fresco of the Last Judgement, it is Jonah = The White Dove. Everything that is beneath the throne and the whale is smashed. 


It speaks of the books being opened, in addition to the book of life. The (spiritually) dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. In the Dead Sea Scrolls, prophet Isaiah states that people would flee from Messiah Joseph, and that only one in a 1,000 would not flee. 


However, renowned Dead Sea Scrolls scholar, Geza Vermes also wrote that it would be when the Sons of Light come to my aid, and with the divine intervention, the Sons of Darkness would be overcome. 


Rev chapter 3, also mentions the one that is victorious again. "To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne."


So what does the myrrh have to do with it? In the book of Ester is mentions the oil of myrrh and fragrances, oils are used in aromatherapy. It relates to massage therapists who are healers. In the Song of Solomon it also states that "Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh." 


At the end of Rev 18, about the USA. It states "The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of Bridegroom and Bride will never be found in you again." It tells the USA that your merchants were the most important people. By your magic spell all of the nations were led astray. When people around the world fell at the feet of Obama, it was just like they were under a spell that couldn't be broken. 


The chapter finishes how the USA was responsible for the blood of the prophets, and of God's holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth. My view is that this relates to the Indians. You see he had Indian prophets and healers too, his people that live in harmony with the land, and the spiritual law of creation.
