suggested in the Revelation
2004.07.031 Kouji Kubot

 Many symbolic visions appear in The Revelation to John and they all coincide with things in the present-day. Here, I will introduce only the things related to flags.



◆ The flag of United Nations:

[11-4]  ¶These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands* which stand before the Lord of the earth.

 The words [the Lord of the earth] indicate the great divine spirit who is dwelling on a planet called the Earth.
 Then, there is a description that the army symbolized by two flags loses a battle and the two flags are exposed to the main street of Jerusalem.

Unknown

◆ The flag of **********:

[11-4]  ¶These are the two olive* trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

(The possibility of a new flag being designed in the future is left behind.)



◆ The flag of the Department of Defense in the United States of America:

[12-14]  But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

 The words [for a time, and times, and and half a time] are a code, which I explained in detail in the book.
 [The serpent] suggest the evil spirit Satan.
 The words [the woman] indicate Japan, and the words [the great eagle] indicate the United States of America.
 That is, this text suggests the conclusion of the Japan-US Security Treaty.



◆ The national flag of Israel:

[3-7]  ¶"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write : 'The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens.

 The series of words and [David] suggest the one who has decisive authority to Israelis. That is, he is Moses.



◆ The national flag of Japan:

[12-1]  And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars ;

 [The moon] symbolizes Islam in medieval times, i.e., it suggests the present Arab countries.
 [A crown of twelve stars] symbolizes the honor of having contributed greatly to the independence and development of the countries in Southeast Asia.
 That is, [a woman] suggests Japan.

◆ The flag of New York State:

[18-16]  "Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!





The phrase of [bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!]
has suggested the great city colored with neon and lights which glitter.
Moreover, in another text, there is the description
[the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth].
That is, various suggestions have indicated
the city with the headquarters of the United Nations.
