Top 13 People With Highest IQ in the World
December 12, 20169 min read
The definition of Intelligence is debatable, or we can say that there is no exact words defining the term 'Intelligence'. Over the years, it has been defined in many different ways, including one's capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, creativity and problem solving.
Intelligence quotient (IQ), on the other hand, is just the outcome or score obtained from one of the many standardized tests to measure human intelligence. Our interest in human intelligence dates back thousand of years, but it was not until the 20th century that the first IQ test was ever devised by Alfred Binet. Since an individual's intelligence is measured by a set of tests, the method has been condemned by many.
In his book, 'The Mismeasure of Man', paleontologist Stephan Jay Gould criticized IQ test on general bases and said they are used for scientific racism. So we can say that IQ is just a parameter to nearly measure human intelligence which can be useful sometimes and sometimes it is not. In this list we have gathered the brightest and smartest people who ever put foot on the earth based on their IQ score.
13. Sharon Stone
IQ score: 145
She first came into the limelight for her role as Catherine Tramell in an erotic thriller Basic Instinct in 1992. The American born actress having already won Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress leaves no question about her acting talent.
But that's not it, the former Emmy award winner Sharon Stone is also alleged to have an IQ of 154. She was always an academically bright student. After graduating from Saegertown High School in Saegertown, she attended Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.
While at the university, she won the title of Miss Crawford County, Pennsylvania and was also a candidate for Miss Pennsylvania. For many years, Stone maintained that she was a member of Mensa, but in April 2002, she admitted she had never been an actual member of the International Society.
12. Paul Allen

Paul Allen is the man behind the success of Microsoft alongside Bill Gates, who is unsurprisingly alleged of having an above average IQ of 160. Allen was born on January 21, 1953 in Seattle, Washington. In 1975, he along-with his best friend Bill Gates moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to materialize their dream of owning a company someday. It was Paul Allan, who first came up with the name "Micro-soft" for their software company. He was awarded with numerous Honorary degrees from around the world.

11. Stephen Hawking
Estimating the exact IQ of one of the greatest scientific minds of the 21st century is indeed a serious affair, as Hawking never took one. Among his many scientific achievements, he is also known for his book A Brief History of Time, published in 1988, which portrayed his brainstorming discoveries in the field of theoretical physics. Hawking's contributions in the ancient field of theoretical physics have not only revolutionized the field, but also fairly contributed towards the advancement of the sum of human knowledge substantially.
10. Albert Einstein
IQ score: 160-190
Experts and neuroscientists have estimated Einstein's total IQ somewhere between the range of 160-190. Again, these numbers are nothing more than an estimation. Albert Einstein was born in 1879, Germany. In 1905, he changed the common perception of the scientific community through special and general theories of relativity.
His theories reshaped scientific understanding of almost everything including space and time. He also indirectly or subconsciously participated in developing nuclear fission, an endeavor which he later regretted when it was weaponized in the form of an atomic bomb. He died in 1955 from an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

9. Judit Polgar
Chess is one of the oldest game on the earth, which has been long associated with intellectual prowess and rightfully so. Generally, top chess players often measure there intelligent quotient, so ranking them won't be difficult. Many of our readers may already heard about Judit Polgar who has been described as the greatest female chess player of all time. She became a Grandmaster at just the age of 15 years and 4 months, the youngest player to do so at the time. Polgar is a pioneer for women in chess, inspiring other women in the game worldwide. She was also the first female to defeat the ex-world no.1 Gary Kasparov in competitive play.
8. Garry Kasparov
Image credit: Daily Stormer
Garry Kimovich Kasparov or Garik Kimovich Weinstein (birth name) was born on 13 April 1963 in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR. The Russian chess Grandmaster is a former World Chess Champion and a writer, whom many consider and rightfully so, to be the greatest chess champion of all time.
From 1986 until his retirement in 2005, Kasparov was ranked world No. 1 for most of his career (225 out of 228 months). In 1997, he became the first ever world champion to lose a match against a computer (IBM Deep Blue) in a highly promoted match under standard time controls. He currently serves on the board of the Human Rights Foundation.
7. Philip Emeagwali
Philip Emeagwali is a Nigerian born computer scientist who won Gordon Bell Prize in 1989 for his price-efficient, high performance computing application used in an oil reservoir modelling calculation. He was forced to leave the school at the age of 13 due to the ongoing Nigerian civil war between Nigeria and Biafran, but that did not deter him from completing high school equivalence through self studies.
Following completion of a correspondence course at the University of London, he immigrated to the United States where he received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Oregon State University in 1977. He earned at least two Master's degree in Mathematics and Environmental and Marine Engineering from various universities.
In a speech, the former president of the United States Bill Clinton addressed Emeagwali's achievements as an example of what Nigerians could achieve when given the opportunity.
6. Christopher Michael Langan
He is described by many as the "smartest man in America" and even the "smartest man in the world" by some journalist. Christopher Langan didn't have the childhood of an average human. Born in San Francisco, he began speaking when he was just six months old and acquired reading ability at the age of 4.
Langan spent the last years of his high school doing independent studies, teaching himself "advanced maths, physics, philosophy, Latin and Greek". During his time in the Montana University, he believed that he could teach his professors more than they could teach him, resulting in his drop out from the collage. Recently he has developed a theory of the relationship between mind and reality which he termed as "cognitive-Theoretic model of the universe".
5. Marilyn vos Savant
Marilyn vos Savant is an American born author and columnist who is well known for having the highest recorded IQ according to the Guinness Book of Records. After her induction in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1986, Parade magazine ran a profile of her which included Q&As by its readers.
The Parade continued to get questions, and that's how "Ask Marilyn" was born. Ask Marilyn was initially centered to answer questions on academic subjects, like solving logical, mathematical or vocabulary puzzles asked by the magazine readers. Savant cited her performance on two intelligence tests, the Stanford-Binet and the Mega Test.
4. Kim Ung-Yong
Born in South Korea in 1963, Kin Ung-Yong was an acclaimed child prodigy, who started speaking at age of 6 months and was able to read several languages like English, German, Korean and Japanese by his 3rd birthday. Soon at a young age he went to the United States to study at the Colorado State University and later ended up working for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the better part of a decade. But in 1978, he returned to Korea to work on the field of civil engineering. As of 2007, he serves as adjunct faculty at Chungbuk National University.
3. Christopher Hirata
Christopher Hirata is a child prodigy who made waves when he became the youngest American to win a gold medal at the International Physics Olympiad in 1996 at the age of 13. He enrolled at the California Institute of Technology in 14, and successfully obtained his PhD from Princeton at the age of 22. During this time he also worked with NASA on a project exploring the possibilities of colonizing the Mars. Nowadays, he teaches astrophysics at the California Institute of Technology.
2. Terence Tao
Terence "Terry" Chi-Shen Tao was born in Australia, Adelaide. Before the age of 9, his family moved to the US. Tao has exhibited remarkable mathematical abilities from an early age, attending university level mathematics just at the age of 9. There are only two people in the history of the Johns Hopkins' Study of Exceptional Talent program who have achieved a score of 700 or greater on the SAT math, at the age of nine. Tao score was 760. More recently, in 2006, he received the prestigious Fields Medal and in 2014 he was awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. As of now, he teaches at the University of California in Los Angeles.
1. William James Sidis
Read: Inspiring People Who Changed Some Most Common Viewpoints
William James Sidis is a perfect example of child prodigies with exceptional mathematical abilities and a master of many languages. At the early stages of his career (when he was 11), he entered Harvard to study mathematics, and became the youngest person to achieve so. The rest of his life was marred by legal troubles due to his socialist ideology, and was arrested for participating in an anti government parade.
Upon his release in 1921, the troubled genius stepped away from mathematics and academics entirely, and lived a relatively normal life. He died at the age of 46 from a cerebral hemorrhage. It is claimed that Sidis had the highest IQ that can ever be achieved, but any records does not exist which proves the claim.

Another 45 days: the endless uncertainty of pretrial detention in Egyptian prisons
In August 2016, Sabry's brother sprayed his imprisoned sibling's face and bandaged limbs, clasped between the claws of an ominous scorpion, onto a wall in downtown Cairo. Next to it he wrote, "This is the third Eid Sabry is spending in prison without having done anything wrong or against the law…" in an appeal to anyone who might walk past and see it.
"On the day of Arafa (the night of Eid al-Adha) and the four days of the holiday, the prisoners are completely locked in," says Sabry's mother. She made a trip just before Eid 2016 to Tora maximum security prison, the grisly reputation of which has earned it the name "Scorpion."
She took with her pasta, rice, four kilos of liver, two kilos of fried chicken, two kilos of Alexandrian birds, four kilos of bananas, three kilos of apples, two kilos of strawberries and three kilos of cantaloupe for her son during the festival. In the end, only two pieces of liver, two pieces of chicken, two apples and two bananas were allowed in by the guards and she had to return home with the rest.
Sabry, who was 26 years old at the time, was arrested on March 29, 2015 from his home in Cairo. He had just come back from a football match and was waiting for a food delivery when there was a knock at the door.
"He opened it thinking it was the delivery man. Instead, we found state security forces wearing black, armed with rifles suddenly all over the flat. They asked for his father, who was not around at the time," Sabry's mother says. Then there was some confusion when one of the officers wanted to determine whether Sabry's name was Mohamed or not. Getting angry and apparently not finding who he was looking for, the officer took Sabry with him.
"You're coming with me," the officer told him, making Sabry leave the house barefoot, his mother recounts. "I started shouting at the officer, then I got his shoes and put them on for him. They took him and left," she adds. "They also went downstairs and took his father from his grandmother's flat."
Sabry's father, who was also arrested in his 20s, had a similar experience. Despite having no connection to political or religious groups, according to his family, he was also randomly arrested and imprisoned for charges relating to terrorist activity in 1986-1987. Since his arrest 20 years ago, Sabry's father has been regularly harassed by state security without any formal trial.
"We don't even have to do anything for them to come to the door," says Sabry's mother.
Even though the public prosecution issued an official order for Sabry's release and handed his father a 15-day sentence for belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, Sabry never came home. His mother moved out of the house with her other sons for fear of their safety and went repeatedly to the public prosecutor's office asking where Sabry was being held. "They told me, 'No, your son got released, go and see where he's gone'," she says.
For 21 days no one had any idea where Sabry was or what had happened to him, until his mother received a phone call from him. "He said, 'Mum, listen to me. I was in Lazoghly (the site of the Ministry of Interior and its National Security wing) and they opened a case with state security for me. Now I am going to the State Security Agency prosecutor's office, please find me a lawyer'," she recalls.
Sabry also told his mother that he was interrogated without a lawyer present and forced to admit to involvement in terrorist organizations. His name was added to a case from 2014 that already included 14 other suspects he had no relation to, all of whom have now been released at the end of their two-year pretrial detention periods.
Ahmed, Sabry's lawyer, explains that Egypt's current laws allow police to detain anyone they presume is a "terrorist" solely on the grounds of a pending investigation.
"There is no actual event or victim," Ahmed explains, "these charges just come from an officer's investigations." Egypt's National Security Agency is able to have a degree of influence over legal proceedings relating to terrorism charges, and to detain large numbers of people, he adds.
People weren't convicted en masse under terrorism charges in Egypt until 1992, when the country adopted its first anti-terrorism statute, vague definitions for which include disrupting public order and obstructing the work of public authorities.
Twenty years later this approach was adopted by the 2007 version of the Constitution, and the 2015 Anti-Terrorism Act, which was issued just a few months after Sabry's arrest, and grants officers the right to detain and arrest suspects without having to comply with the Penal Code.

From the "That's Not Recommended" category of forklift safety practices, we proudly present an incident that happened down under in Australia.
According to an Australian Daily Mail article, a forklift driver became frustrated when a car was blocking the path of a delivery truck.
Instead of trying to contact the car owner (who was legally parked, by the way), the forklift driver simply scooped the car up, turned around and set the car down on the other side of the street.
The "forklift-as-tow-truck" video has gained tons of exposure on social media outlets in Australia, the United Kingdom and here in the U.S. As you could imagine, Facebook comments have ranged from "Haha, that's pretty funny," to "Hope that guy gets fired." And the weird thing is, the local police are investigating the situation and haven't made any charges.
Since the car wasn't damaged, nobody was hurt and nothing bad came out of the whole affair, this lucky forklift driver may avoid criminal charges. At the very least, however, he's probably looking at workplace safety violation fines or penalties from Australian version of OSHA.
Thankfully, this crazy forklift story had a happy ending (well, maybe not for the driver, once he is most likely fined). Yet it very well could've turned out to be a disaster.
Picking up cars with your forklifts isn't something you'll find in a CertifyMe.net forklift training class. We focus on smart, sound safety practices. Every one of our customers enjoys a 100% pass rate, as students can take the class online at their own pace.
To speak with our OSHA forklift training experts, call us at (888) 699-4800. We'd love to get you started today. Plus, you can check out the CM contact page.
Thanks again for reading the Certify Me blog. And remember, if a car is blocking your path, step away from the forklift and call a tow truck!

Premiere: Pariah: All Access, Chapter 1: In Training
by CSyphrett
The darkly clad figure walked along the edge of the cliff, his scarf blowing gently in the wind. The brim of his black hat fluttered slightly, shading the cool eyes beneath its protection.
He had been asked to deal with a serious problem by the collective monitors of five Earths. It was something they felt that he was uniquely suited to undertake with some degree of success.
The Mysterious Traveler hoped he could do what was expected of him, not only for the man he was going to meet, but for his world.
A purple-haired man sat on a cliff where few men dared to go. He shook uncontrollably as the wind blew his tattered green cape around him. He looked up when his visitor's shadow fell over him.
"Who are you?" the man demanded, his purplish gray hair stirred by the wind. He rose to his feet with what seemed to be considerable effort.
"I am known as the Mysterious Traveler," said the visitor in black. "I have been asked to help you with your problems, Kell Mossa."
"How do you know that name?" asked Pariah, desperation and lost hope dominating his face.
"We have never met," replied the Traveler. "But I know your story, and I have been asked by the Monitors — they who watch over the last five Earths — to help you with your current problem."
"What do you know about it?" demanded Pariah. "Why should I believe you?"
"What I say is true, Kell," said the darkly garbed wanderer. "As I said, I have heard your tale, and I can help you if you choose to accept my help."
"How?" said Pariah, still disturbed by the use of a name that this stranger shouldn't know.
"Shall we walk?" the Traveler asked, gesturing back the way he had come. "I think that will keep the disruptions to a minimum."
Pariah nodded, and fell in beside his new guide.
"Let me recount events as I understand them," the Traveler said as they walked. "That will allow me to clarify your situation in my own mind."
"Go ahead," said the sole survivor of his universe. "I already know it well enough that another retelling won't hurt the way it used to."
"It is a terrible burden to have destroyed your universe, even when you later discovered that you were not responsible," began the Mysterious Traveler, the wind blowing against his ascot and coat. "You were the most brilliant scientist of your Earth." As the Traveler spoke, Pariah saw the past come to life around him, as if invoked by the memories he possessed.
"In your quest for knowledge, you had learned everything there was to know — except the answer to one question. What was the origin of the multiverse and the antimatter universe? You designed an antimatter chamber from which to observe the event, never dreaming of the events that would unfold next.
"As you studied, antimatter swept through your universe, destroying it, and trapping you in your chamber for millions of years, until the Monitor sent you forth to bear witness to the deaths of a thousand universes. You felt guilty as you watched first the destruction of your own universe, and then the many that followed. Each one was your fault, you knew in your heart, even if indirectly.
"Finally, with a mere five universes left in the multiverse, you became privy to the Monitor's real plans to save what remained of the positive universes. You participated in an audacious attack in the antimatter universe against the Anti-Monitor, which led to the death of Supergirl, the Flash, and others." (*)
[(*) Editor's note: See "Beyond the Silent Night," Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (October, 1985) and "A Flash of the Lightning," Crisis on Infinite Earths #8 (November, 1985).]
"All of this is true," said Pariah. "How do you know of it?"
"It is my duty to know," said the Traveler. "The world breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the Crisis was over. Then the Villain War began. The heroes of the free Earths had to fight on this Earth and two others. You were drawn away during this conflict." (*)
[(*) Editor's note: See "War Zone," Crisis on Infinite Earths #9 (December, 1985) and DC Universe: Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Villain War.]
Pariah shuddered at the memory. He had been pulled to the dawn of time itself and held prisoner by the Anti-Monitor in a scheme to make the anti-matter universe the supreme and only result of the big bang.
"Many heroes assisted the Spectre in the Anti-Monitor's defeat. All that were at the dawn of time were returned with their memories to a single Earth. (*) That was when the Anti-Monitor launched his final assault, and was defeated by the heroes of the combined Earth. (*)
[(*) Editor's note: See "Death at the Dawn of Time," Crisis on Infinite Earths #10 (January, 1986) and "Final Crisis," Crisis on Infinite Earths #12 (March, 1986).]
"That very long day passed, and then the one Earth became five once again. (*) Your life became somewhat settled on Earth-One. You were glad to finally have something of a peaceful existence with people you could call friends after a lonely existence over countless millennia of watching Earth after Earth die. (*)
[(*) Editor's note: See DC Universe: The Rock of Eternity, Chapter 1: The Gathering and "The Challenge of the Volt Lord," DC Comics Presents #94 (June, 1986).]
"Then you were captured by the race known as the Dominators. Supposedly, they did experiments on you, altering your DNA. You believed yourself a radiator of entropy, bringing bad luck to those close around you. You decided to sacrifice yourself by boarding the mother ship. Your new ability caused the ship to explode, causing everyone but the wizard Shazam to believe you had died. (*)
[(*) Editor's note: See Captain Comet's Rehab Squad: Strange Visitors.]
"Inexplicably finding yourself here on Earth-Four, you decided to remain after learning that another only survivor of her universe now lived here: Lady Quark, who had already found her way here last year through a quirk of fate. (*) But your guilt over being unable to save your friend's family when you saved her has prevented you from reaching out to a possibly friend and ally who might help you deal with this new power you view as a curse. (*)
[(*) Editor's note: See The Night Force: The War of Darkness and Light, Chapter 5: Contact and "And Thus Shall the World Die," Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 (July, 1985).]
"However, you are mistaken on one important count," continued the Mysterious Traveler. "I'm afraid the Dominators did not cause your new power, after all. This was something you have always carried with you."
"That can't be true!" Pariah said. "I didn't cause disasters with my presence before I was captured."
"You are immortal and invulnerable," said the Traveler. "You also teleport to where you are needed. The most important thing about you is the fact that you have been linked to the antimatter universe for a long time."
Pariah paused, the mind he had used as his Earth's greatest scientist rapidly considering the possibilities of this new information.
"You are saying that the Dominators did not change me because they could not in any fundamental way? All the trouble I have been having is because somehow I lost some kind of internal restraint because of what they tried to do? That it just served their purposes to try to use the enhancement to help their alien invasion? You have to be kidding."
The Mysterious Traveler and Pariah regarded each other, thinking about what they had discussed. The Traveler seemed as cold as the wind, whistling through the mountains.
"Let's say you are correct in your summation," said Pariah, finally. "I admit that I did have some control over my wanderings between the Crisis and my capture. How do I get that back?"
"Training," said the man in black. "All things need practice. This is nothing but the same."
"Where shall we begin?" said the wanderer.
"We shall visit some places that might have need of your particular talents," said the Traveler. "Shall we go?"
"After you," said Pariah, gesturing with one hand.
As the two walked along, reality began to distort around them.
When the energy wave cleared, Pariah found himself walking in a dark forest. His companion stood at his side, his hands folded behind his cloak.
"Where are we?" Pariah asked.
"A divergent timeline, where fairy tales are the norm, and magic is plentiful," said the man in black. "What happens next is up to you."
"That's a big help," said the last survivor of his universe. A howl sounded in the distance, and Pariah frowned as he listened. "Was that a wolf?"
But the Traveler was already gone.
"I guess I'd better get on with my training," Pariah said as he trudged forward, watching the shadows shift under the twisted trees.
As Pariah walked along, alert and wary, he wondered about the entire chain of events that had brought him to this point. Had he really allowed himself to become such a victim? It seemed hard to believe that he had been a pawn for one force or another for nearly the entirely of his very long existence. Now he wondered if he was a pawn again.
"Hey, mister," said a voice from above. "Could you give me a hand? Please?"
Pariah looked up. A small boy was entrapped in some kind of net, hanging from the branches of trees standing close together. He was dressed in pajamas and slippers.
Frowning at the strange sight, Pariah allowed himself to take flight. But as he grabbed the sticky strands in his hands and pulled on them with all of his strength, he found that the net would not give.
"Please hurry, mister," said the boy, looking over his shoulder. "Something's coming!"
Pariah concentrated on the web. Some piece of entropy struck the web, severing it in several places. As the boy began to fall, the wanderer grabbed him by his shirt.
Then a man-sized spider appeared from the leafy branches. It chittered nastily at the two.
"Gonna have fly-guy stew," the spider said squeakily.
Pariah and the little boy stepped back from the spider. The boy tugged on his arm, signaling him to flee from the thing. Pariah swung the boy up onto his shoulders, then felt a familiar tugging as his power began moving them elsewhere. They vanished a moment before the spider's web could strike them.
"Damn, I missed!" the spider chastised itself with a snap of its finger-like projections at the end of one arm, then looked around to find that his prey was already. "Well, if that don't beat all."
"That was so cool!" the little boy said after they'd reappeared safely much farther down the path. "My name's Danny. What's yours?"
"It's Pariah," said Kell Mossa quietly. "How did you get into such trouble?"
"I'm following my friend, Kupkake," said Danny. "Some ogres took her, and I've been trailing 'em ever since. Running into that spider was pretty bad luck, though. Lucky for me you came along when you did, mister!"
"Yes… lucky," Kell said, though he wondered whether it had been just as lucky for him as well.
They went along the path slowly, watching for signs of the ogres' passing. A feeling began to draw Pariah forward; recognizing it from his centuries of wandering, he welcomed it for the first time, and seized Danny's hand. The pair vanished in a swirl of his tattered green cloak, then reappeared in the camp of the ogres.
"Smooth move!" Danny said, kicking one of the bestial humanoids in the shin.
Pariah grimaced, staring an ogre into catching itself on fire.
"I must admit, she's not exactly what I expected," Pariah said, sweeping a green-haired mermaid into his arms, then gathered Danny close again.
A moment later, they were gone.
Soon Pariah was watching as his new comrades Danny and Kupkake the mermaid ran toward where she lived with others of her kind. Then the fairy tale world around him disappeared, and he found himself back in familiar surroundings alongside his new guide.
"A job well done," said the chilly voice of the Mysterious Traveler. "How do you feel?"
"I feel… good," said Pariah. "I actually helped someone on my own without any threat to me, and it felt good. I never felt like this when I helped save the last universes during the Crisis."
"It wasn't as personal, perhaps," said the man in black.
"Perhaps," said Pariah. "Is the lesson over?"
The Traveler made no response, but everything distorted in a heat-mirage pattern, then refocused. "Perhaps not," said the cold voice out of the air.
Pariah raised his hand for a moment as if to protest, then let it drop, knowing it wouldn't do any good. The Traveler was already gone, leaving him stranded in another forest without a guide. Or was that part of the learning process as well? Was he supposed to find his own guide?
Concentrating, Pariah extended his awareness outward. He had been drawn to evil randomly before, while tracking the progress of the Anti-Monitor, but this time he wanted to be drawn to evil purposefully, so that he could find someone to guide him out of this dark forest.

When Houston walked into the hanger, he saw that there were various types of ships that were stationed there unlike the dock which he got off his small transport. Seeing one of the ships that is currently being loaded with equipment, he walked towards it and boarded the transport class ship. Once upon the ship, he walked forward towards the passenger hold area and entered through the door. Seeing that the commander was already sitting in the captain's chair and a man who was wearing visor sitting on one of the first chairs that was just inside the door, he walked in a little more and sat down diagonally opposite the visored man, only realizing a moment later that he was Dimitri, he placed the suitcase down at his own feet and looked up to look at both the commander and Dimitri. He listened as Dimitri explained what would be occurring during the mission. "Any additional thoughts? Aside from 'You're so fired after this op'?" He coughed a little before speaking err... I agree with the plan that Dimitri has come up but a little to add to it if I may, after bringing down the network to let us all escape, blow up the entire lab after we get out of range. I'll be able to set the explosives to blow after we have all left the vicinity. Even though we can leave without destroying that lab, if there is still evidence of us being there they can investigate who the intruders were and then there is still the possibility that they might link it all the way back to us which is something we don't want, so destroying all that lab altogether afterwards would be the best option since it'll get rid of all the evidence he paused before emphasizing the next few words, all survivors included, that is there as well as all of their research material that we can't carry. He relaxed himself after he finished and sat back into his chair and closed his eyes getting ready for take-off.

HH nodded as Allan left after he finished speaking. He then heard the growl of Dimitri saying that the team should get ready immediately as he too walked away to get his own gear ready. "Must have gotten yelled at before we arrived." he muttered himself as Blake questioned. He relaxed himself and turned to face him before answering "instructions were pretty simple... go into a lab, steal some MS and tech, get out of there alive and wipe that lab flat. The hard part will prob be that we're out numbered by alot." He looked over to Julia and said with a minor sad tone "guess we'll have to postpone that tour around this place till after the mission completes." He nods to both of them before taking his leave, turning left where a sign points to the explosive equipment's room. He got lost twice before asking for directions from a fellow member to find the room that he was after. He opened the door and was greeted by a small blond girl sitting behind a counter with what looked like bullet-proof windows. He showed her his ID before going through the gate to the explosive storage room. He walked around the room once memorizing the names of each type of explosive there and the radius of explosion. Then he walked over to a small box with the label SC-1610, he opened the box to get a glimpse at the contents. Blood red in color explosion range of 10 km with the usage of each 3cm by 3cm cube. He took out 4 cubes gentily before moving across to pick up the 12 batches of normal hand, flash and smoke grenades. Moving still around the room he stopped briefly to collect a box of 16 cubes of C-16 the recently developed and improved version of the C-12. Finally walking back to the start of the room he picked up 20 detonators, signed the form, packed it all into the carry case and put it and the grenades into his hidden jacket pocket. He waked out of the explosive storage room then walked over to the ammunitions room to pick up several sets of bullets for his hand guns as well as a metal briefcase containing semi-automatic rifle with scope before heading back to his room to pick up his hand guns, which he left in his luggage at his arrival. He then proceeded to reload them with the bullets acquired. He took off his jacket for and spread it wide on the bed. flicking two sets of cords as he rushed his finger down the center of the jacket activating the bullet and weapon protection mode. He put the jacket back on and zipped it up to the top once again. Opening another small box on the bottom of his luggage he took out his special contacts, which gave a distance analyzer and radar function, he stopped for a moment before putting them on and then closed the door behind him and headed back towards the hanger holding the briefcase with the right hand and the tail of the jacket billowing as he walked. Let the fun begin the thought floated randomly through his mind as he walked towards the hanger.

"Alright, dismissed!" He heard the commander say before giving the salute and walking out with the other 3. Nodding to Blake and Lara as he passed them. He passed through the door and stretching again retrieving the explosive back to his hand. He turned around and asked the others. "You think we'll have enough time to tour this place.... it seems that the boss wants us to get ready and leave pretty quick" he asked whilst turning his head to look at each one of them in turn.
[Battle: 1 on 1] Janus vs Lucifer//Astray vs Murasame - Desert
HHLkill3r replied to Janus's topic in The Coliseum
LL's alarms flared as the Murasame turned a corner with the Astray appearing from the right side of the Murasame with its CIWS blazing and both of the sabers out ready for the kill. LL spins the Murasame around to face the Astray and takes a quick lock on the Astray's left hand and shoulder and fires two rapid shots before putting his own beam rifle away and putting up the thrusters to advance to engage the Astray with his own beam saber.

The Murasame successfully changed from MA to MS mode. But as he looked down at his opponent he realized that the Astray had already landed back on the desert sand and went behind a dune that fully covered the frame. With the left hand he pulled out the beam rifle whilst the right hand pulls out the beam saber. Pushing the thrusters forward to 60%, he guided the Murasame towards the ground close by the Astray and started to thruster left to go around the Astray with the beam rifle ready to fire at any time, ready to start and ignite the final battle. Its almost the end the thought floated through his mind as he was about to go around the last few dunes with the the finger on the rifle trigger.
[OOC: welcome back boss and yay back on the road!!] "The commander wishes to see you immediately. Please proceed into his office immediately." Lara nodded as she spoke. He gave her a small smile and nodded in return before proceeding into the commander's office. Upon entering the room, his eyes darted around the room which resembled vastness and the luxury of the Oval in the white house with security cameras in also every corner of the room as well as enough well hidden spots to snipe anything that is in the room before settling the gaze back to the man sitting behind the large oak desk with the computer to his right and various pens, paper files cluttered in the in and out boxes on the center and left hand side of the desk. He briefly heard the last of Dimitri's sentence "...accepted a mission" before looking across to the left to see Dimitri typing rapidly on the keyboard in deep frustration and annoyance. Once he stopped, he started to explain himself about the mission which his laptop "accidentally" filled whilst he was browsing through missions. When he finished he gave Dimitri another good long stare before looking up and addressing the late comers. "So, do any of you have any opinion on this matter? Do you agree with Dimitri's plan or do you have a better idea?" Houston gave a short salute and took a step forward before starting to answer "Sir. the best way for this would be to continue along following Dimitri's suggestions. Whats done is done, there is no turning back to it now that the mission is accepted, accidentally or not." He paused a moment to look at Dimitri and give him an encouraging nod. He took a long breath to choose his words wisely before continuing, "my suggestion to it would be to go ahead with the mission with Dimitri to lead this mission... so that he could make up for the mistake that he has done and so that he could be rewarded for leading it well when it is finally completed since it was he who accepted it even though it was an accident. This mission does seem to have its benefits especially with the amount of reward and first hand experience that is waiting at the end... and in my opinion if I may sir it might lead to a more satisfied customer so then he might even get us to do even more missions since he would be able to trust us to complete the task." He saluted again and step back to stand next to the others waiting intently for their own opinions and options ahead.
which likes to
LL fixes the path of the decent so that the Murasame is intercepting the falling Astray he locks onto the shield hand as soon as he gets within beam rifle range and fires the beam cannon. Thats the end of the MA mode... don't want to damage the suit any further he thought to himself as he pulls the stick away to the left and presses the button to transform back to MS mode.
jumped around and
The Astray's falling much faster than expected he thought to himself as he saw the missiles collide with the shield and propel her towards the ground. He also adjust the angle of his own dive so that when the Astray notices him, it'd already be in range of the cannon. However as soon as he noticed that the head of the Astray turning to this direction and the shield going back to the normal position with beam saber on the right hand, he locked on and fired a missile at her shield hand. Increasing the thruster levels to 70% and finger on the cannon trigger, he sped faster towards point where the path of the Astray's fall will intercept the path of his own dive. "almost there... almost there..." he mumbled to himself
(OOC: its fine no harm done. looks fine so far keep going)
through a fire
Must evade he desperately thought to himself as the beam rifle that the Astray has thrown flies directly at his diving path. He locks onto the beam rifle as quickly as he could and launches one of the remaining 2 missiles that he has left in his arsenal. when this hits... it'd be about 5m before it hits me so it will be able to push me out of there... but i'd get hit too... but I have to avoid confrontation on the opponent's terms... must have my own terms he muttered to himself. He pulls the stick up a little and holds it steady to attempt to pull out of his dive towards the ascending Astray so that when the explosion from the missile resulting from the collision of the missile and the beam rifle, it would be able to forcibly push the Murasame out of its dive pattern. The missile hits the beam rifle directly in the center causing the explosion that he wanted, however the force from the expanding gases was only just enough to push him out of his dive, he sighs with a little gratitude that he was able to get out of that small trouble, however his enjoyment didn't last long as he heard as well as felt the shrapnel from the remain of the beam rifle clang into the tail fins as the Murasame was flying back up. He holds the stick as straight as he could to steady the MA from going into an uncontrollable dive and resumes a new dive pattern once again at the Astray this time a slower but steadier and wider arcing dive, so that the Astray wont be able to notice what has happened to the Murasame, that will intercept at the point where the Astray will fall when the missiles hit the shield. Need this to end real fast.... I can prob get one more shot of the cannon in before I have to get out of MA mode... thats it plan B... set... complete! he muttered to himself excitedly as he prepped his cannon for firing as he neared the zone. [OOC: fixed it so that damage was actually sustained^^ thanks for reminding me lui that MA do get damaged at close distance]

Black Lives Didn't Matter to the Daily Beast; News Site Posts Looping GIF of Laquan McDonald's Shooting Death
Demonstrators march through downtown Chicago following the Nov. 24, 2015, release of a video showing Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting and killing Laquan McDonald. Van Dyke has now been charged with first-degree murder in the Oct. 20, 2014, shooting in which the 17-year-old Laquan was shot 16 times.
Scott Olson/Getty Images
On Tuesday night, video of yet another black teen being killed by a white police officer caught the attention of the world. The video of now-former Chicago Police Officer James Van Dyke killing 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was finally released after a court order. The release came on the heels of Van Dyke's charge for murder Tuesday.
Within minutes of the video's release, media outlets posted the nine-minute clip. But one media outlet decided to take it one step further.
The Daily Beast posted a looping GIF of Laquan getting shot in the back by the officer—a looping GIF on Twitter, which did not give people the opportunity to decide whether or not they wanted to see yet another death put on display.
People on Twitter were outraged, and rightly so.
Anonymous threatened to hack the site's Twitter account if it didn't remove it, and others on Twitter had their opinions about the GIF:
https://twitter.com/TheAnonMessages/status/669324247769219073https://twitter.com/BritniDWrites/status/669314494234034177https://twitter.com/HousingWatchMD/status/669331761348915200https://twitter.com/PigtownPrincess/status/669334905982222336https://twitter.com/prof_carrington/status/669314922090733568https://twitter.com/Mattieologie/status/669309852733194241
To display a looping GIF was disrespectful not only to Laquan and his family but also to people on social media who purposely wanted to look away from the shooting. When a news outlet posts a video, people have the option to push play, but when an image like a GIF is forced upon you on social media, it's a totally different story.
Not everyone wants to see someone getting killed. How many times this year have we seen black people literally slaughtered by law enforcement? The shock value that the Daily Beast attempted to display was sickening and uncalled for.
Goldie Taylor, the Daily Beast's editor-at-large, released an apology, saying, "By tweeting a GIF, we unintentionally trivialized a death. We are deleting."
How about too little, too late?
As one Twitter user noted above, the looping GIF was strikingly similar to the photos of lynchings that whites used to share. Black lives didn't matter back then, and it seems as though, to certain news outlets, they don't matter now.


The European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO) announced today that John Innes Centre's Professor Sarah O'Connor is one of 65 outstanding life scientists to have been elected to its membership, joining a group of over 1,700 of the best researchers in Europe and around the world.
The 2017 electees include 56 EMBO Members residing in 19 Member States of the European Molecular Biology Conference (EMBC) and nine EMBO Associate Members currently working in the USA and Japan.
"Election to the EMBO Membership is recognition of research excellence, and I am pleased to welcome so many great scientists to our organisation," says EMBO Director Maria Leptin.
Professor Dale Sanders, Director of the John Innes Centre said; "This election to EMBO recognises Sarah's immense contribution in transcending the chemistry-biology divide. Her discovery-driven studies have provided unique approaches and insights into how complex chemical molecules are synthesised in plants. These studies lead, furthermore, to prospects of using 21st century genomic technologies to harness plant chemical diversity to benefit human health and agriculture".
Sarah added; "I am deeply honored to be part of this outstanding group of scientists".
EMBO Members are actively involved in the execution of the organisation's initiatives by evaluating applications for EMBO funding and by serving on EMBO Council, Committees and Editorial Boards.
Sarah's work looks at plants which produce hundreds of thousands of complex metabolites called "natural products" that have many uses.
Anti-cancer agents such as vinblastine and taxol, the analgesic morphine, and the anti-malarials artemisinin and quinine are each natural products that are produced by a plant. Despite the importance of these compounds, it is unclear how many of these complicated molecules are made by the plant.
Sarah's group elucidates and engineers the metabolic pathways that construct these compounds from simple building blocks, because an understanding of these pathways allows us to harness the wealth of compounds and biocatalysts that plants have provided. Moreover, we can also begin to speculate how and why plants evolved to produce some of these molecules.
New EMBO Members and Associate Members will be formally welcomed at the EMBO Members' Meeting in Heidelberg 18-20 October 2017.
In 2005 I took part in an experiment in which I was the experimental animal.

Why Kazakhstan Exploded
Europe's Edge Regional Security Rule of Law
Ben Godwin
The sudden eruption of protest and violence in Kazakhstan has been quelled by gunfire and hundreds of Russian troops. But profound underlying problems remain
Photo: ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN – JANUARY 10, 2022: A military patrol detains a man on Nazarbayev Street. A rise in fuel prices sparked protests in the towns of Zhanaozen and Aktau in western Kazakhstan on January 2 and spread rapidly across the country. On January 5, President Tokayev dismissed the cabinet and declared a two-week state of emergency in the Mangistau and Almaty regions as well as in the cities of Almaty and Nur-Sultan. On January 6, a counterterrorism operation to stop mass unrest began. Credit: Valery Sharifulin/TASS.
Behind the Lines: Russian Soldiers Seize Ukrainian Homes Putin's Enforcers Pour Into Occupied Ukraine Latvia Poised to Summon Conscripts as Russian Menace Grows Ukraine's Caverns Offer Europe Energy Security Ukraine's War of No Return Punish Putin's Aggression Kosovo and Convoy Diplomacy
Since its independence, Kazakhstan has appeared the most stable and predictable of the five Central Asian nations. It has maintained good relations with key foreign interlocutors, internal political stability, and moderate economic growth, albeit all at the cost of restricted freedoms and extensive corruption.
In 2019, it began an unprecedented transition of power, with First President Nursultan Nazarbayev stepping aside for a handpicked successor, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. On the surface, all appeared to be well. As president, Tokayev remained deferential to his predecessor while pursuing a limited program of economic and political reforms designed to garner the support of the population. Last week, however, the façade collapsed as Kazakhstan descended into chaos.
While difficult to unpick, Kazakhstan is essentially experiencing two simultaneous crises. Last week, a localized protest over fuel prices triggered nationwide demonstrations calling for improved socio-economic conditions and a more inclusive political system. Concurrently – and very possibly as a result of the protests – Kazakhstan's ruling clique spectacularly ruptured. While it is not known for certain how the conflict began, we do know that President Tokayev wrested control of Kazakhstan's state apparatus from Nazarbayev's family. This conflict is not only taking place in the corridors of power, however. it has spiraled into an armed insurrection on the streets of Almaty, the biggest city, and other towns.
The first sign of a split in the elite came on January 5 when Tokayev issued a terse statement announcing that he had assumed chairmanship of the Security Council, the coordinating body for Kazakhstan's security apparatus and armed forces. In doing so, he likely violated Kazakhstan's constitution, which states that Nazarbayev occupies the role of chairman for life. Later, he dismissed Karim Massimov, the chairman of the National Security Committee, the main intelligence agency, and a key Nazarbayev ally, before announcing Massimov's detention on charges of treason.
As the split occurred, armed groups descended on Almaty and, nearly a week later, continue to contest areas of the city in pitched battles with government forces. Sensing the insurrection was directed at his presidency, Tokayev took the extraordinary step of calling in foreign support via the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the Russia-led security bloc. The decision appears to have been designed to secure the loyalty of both Kazakhstan's security services and its political elite. CSTO support — which in essence means Russian support — is a clear signal to both groups as to who the Kremlin backs.
The largest unanswered question is the position of Nazarbayev. Until last week, it appeared that the ruling tandem was operating smoothly. Last year, Nazarbayev passed to Tokayev chairmanship of two institutions that had remained until his control after stepping down from power: the Assembly of the Peoples of Kazakhstan and the Nur Otan political party. Nazarbayev's whereabouts remain a mystery. While his press secretary has stated that Nazarbayev remains in Nur-Sultan, no conclusive proof has been forthcoming.
For now, President Tokayev appears to be gaining the upper hand. The violence in Almaty is subsiding, in part because Russian units are stiffening the resolve of the Kazakh security services. Tokayev is also due to present a new government and announce reforms on January 11, suggesting he has sufficient political support to build a governing coalition. Nevertheless, a protracted period of renegotiation with the elite is set to unfold in the coming months as Tokayev seeks to consolidate his position.
And questions remain. Even if Tokayev is able to gain control of the governing apparatus and elite, it is far from certain that he can satisfy the demands of the population. Some of the protestors have called for constitutional change, such as the establishment of a parliamentary republic. Others simply want to see improvements to living standards at a time when inflation is heavily degrading purchasing power. Another complication is that Tokayev's handling of the crisis has been hugely divisive. His decisions to open fire without warning and invite CSTO troops into Kazakhstan will delegitimize him in many people's minds – even if foreign troops leave the country, as President Putin suggested (and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken questioned.)
While last week's violence might end in the coming days, Kazakhstan's dual political crisis has only just begun.

Overview of Revelation
The first five words of the book of Revelation state its purpose and the purpose of the whole Bible. They are "The revelation of Jesus Christ". It is not the revelation of John. He is not "John the Revelator" as some call him. He is the writer of the revelation that the Lord gave to him. It is the Lord's testimony (Rev 1:2 & 9, 12:17, 19:10 - spirit of prophecy). The deity, authority, and victory of Jesus Christ are on full display throughout the book.
Revelation 1:3 says we should read, hear, and keep what is written in this book. Some people shy away from the study of prophecy and the book of Revelation especially. They think it is too hard to understand and that it is too symbolic and therefore subject to too much interpretation. That is not the right approach. Challenging passages of the Bible should not be ignored. That is the approach of the casual and lazy student of the scriptures. The Bible is not a secret code book of mysteries. The word mystery appears 22 times in the KJV, and only in the New Testament. It does not refer to something that cannot be understood, but rather something that was not previously revealed but now is. Almost every reference refers to the new covenant of the gospel of Jesus Christ as previously unknown by those who lived under the old covenant of the law of Moses. So, symbolic prophetic passages should not be ignored but studied with more diligence (Acts 17:10-12, 2Tim 2:15). The Old Testament prophets did not understand the full meaning or timing of what God showed them, but they did not let that stop them from speaking and writing what God gave them. They searched diligently for the understanding (1Pet 1:10-12). Daniel did not understand everything that was revealed to him, but he sought for and received much understanding:
1. 2:17-19 - he and 3 prayed, got revelation
2. 5:24-28 - mene, mene, tekel, upharsin
3. 7:16 - I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
4. 7:19 - Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast
5. 7:28 - As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance
changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
6. 8:13 - How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice…
7. 8:15 - when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning
8. 8:19 - Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation
9. 8:27 - And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the
king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
10. 9:2 - I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the
LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet
11. 9:21-25 - whiles I was speaking in prayer…I am now come forth to give thee skill and
understanding… therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision…Know
therefore and understand
12. 10:1 - he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision
13. 10:11 - understand the words that I speak unto thee
14. 10:12 - from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten
thyself before thy God, thy words were heard
15. 10:14 - I am come to make thee understand
16. 10:20 - Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee?
17. 10:21 - I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth
18. 11:2 - now will I shew thee the truth
19. 12:8 - And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end
of these things?
Daniel is the companion book to Revelation. John also sought and received understanding of what was being revealed to him:
1. 1:11 - What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches (vs 19, 14:3, 19:9, 22:7). What would be the point of John writing what he saw if we were not to read it?
2. He that hath an ear (to all 7 churches)
3. 7:13-14 - What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.
4. 10:7 - the mystery of God should be finished
5. 10:8-11 - take the little book…and eat it up…thou must prophesy
6. 13:9 - If any man have an ear, let him hear.
7. 13:18 - Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast
8. 17:1 - Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore
9. 17:7 - Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her
10. 17:9 - And here is the mind which hath wisdom
11. 22:6 - the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the
things which must shortly be done
12. 22:10 - Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book
However, we must not succumb to private interpretations of scriptural prophecy, or get dogmatic about personal opinions, especially if they are not about essential issues (2Pet 1:19-21). We should use the principles of sound hermeneutics especially that of context. We should do exegesis which is drawing out the real meaning of scripture, and not eisegesis which is inserting meaning into the scripture.
Revelation 1:4 shows us John is writing not only the first 3 chapters but the whole book to seven churches which were located in Asia Minor which is now Turkey and Greece. He was not writing about seven time periods of the era of the church, but seven actual churches in seven actual cities. There are major problems with the teaching that chapters 2-3 were written about seven time periods which are too lengthy to go into in an overview. Also, we can find application from the messages to the seven churches to every time period including our own.
Revelation 1:5-6 says the saints will be kings and priests. This as well as being washed in His blood are references to the law of Moses (Ex 19:5-6, Lev 17:11). Revelation has 77 references to the Levitical law in the writings of Moses. Revelation 1:7-20 describe Jesus Christ in His glory (Dan 7:9).
Revelation chapters 2-3 are the letters to the seven specific churches. Each starts with a portion of the description of Jesus from chapter 1:12-20 which describes a particular attribute that He wanted to emphasize to that church. Each continues with a commendation except for the ones to Sardis and Laodicea. Then each continues with correction except for the one to Philadelphia. Each finishes with a promise to overcomers and the admonition "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches".
Revelation chapter 4 describes a vision of the throne of God in heaven. Around the throne are four "beasts" which could also be translated living creature as in Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10. There were also twenty-four elders which had seats. Revelation chapter 5 describes a book or scroll with seven seals which no one was worthy to open but the Lamb. Jesus is the Lamb (Jn 1:29 & 36, 1Cor 5:7, 1Pet 1:19). Jesus is called the Lamb 27 times in Revelation. Revelation chapter 6 describes the opening of six of the seven seals. The first four seals release the four horsemen. The first is possibly the antichrist followed by war, famine, and death. When the fifth seal is opened, martyrs will call for judgment. The sixth seal releases an earthquake. Chapter 6 to chapter 19 is a detailed description of the seven-year period called the great tribulation. It will be divided into two 3 and ½ year periods (Dan 7:25, Dan 9:27, Rev 11:2-3, Rev 12:6 & 14, Rev 13:5).
Revelation 7:1-8 describes the sealing of 144,000 with 12,000 from each tribe of Israel. Verses 9:1-7 describe an innumerable multitude of people from all over the world in heaven. Revelation chapter 8 describes the opening of the seventh seal bringing forth seven angels with seven trumpets and what judgment is released on the earth with the sounding of the first four trumpets. The first sends hail and fire with blood. The second sends a mountain burning into the sea and 1/3 of all in the sea dying. The third releases Wormwood which makes 1/3 of the water bitter, and the fourth causes 1/3 of the sun, moon, and stars to be darkened. Revelation chapter 9 describes the sounding of the next two trumpets. The fifth sends locusts and torment, and the sixth releases an army of 200 million that kill 1/3 of men, yet the people of earth still refuse to repent. In Revelation 6:8 ¼ of the world will die. Since 1/3 of who is left die in this verse, in just these two verses ½ of the population of the world will die.
Revelation 10:1-7 speaks of an angelic declaration, and verses 8-11 describe John eating a book and being sent to prophesy. Revelation 11:1-12 speak of two witnesses, verses 13-14 describe an earthquake, and verses 15-19 say the sounding of the seventh trumpet will release a declaration, the opening of the temple, and an earthquake and hail.
Revelation chapter 12 describes a woman who gives birth and is attacked by the serpent. There is war in heaven and Satan and his angels are cast out. The devil is cast to the earth and persecutes the woman who flees to the wilderness. Revelation 13:1-10 describes a beast coming up out of the sea which is a composite of the four beasts described in Daniel 7. Verses 11-18 speak of another beast coming up out of the earth which is like a lamb. This beast introduces an image to which universal worship is required, and he causes all to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead which is required to buy and sell. The number of the beast is 666.
Revelation 14:1-5 speak of the 144,000, and verses 6-13 speak of the judgment of Babylon and those who take the mark of the beast as well as two harvests. Revelation 15 speaks of seven angels who have seven vials with the seven final plagues of the seven-year period. Verses 2-4 shows people in heaven who overcame the beast, and they have the song of Moses and the Lamb. Chapter 16 describes the pouring out of these vials on the earth. The first vial gives the people with the mark a sore. The second one turns the sea to blood. The third turns the rivers and fountains to blood. The fourth sends scorching heat upon men. The fifth sends darkness. The sixth dries up the Euphrates River. Three unclean spirits are released who gather the armies for the battle of Armageddon. The seventh vial releases an earthquake, they city is divided into three parts, and great hailstones fall.
There are similarities to the trumpets and vials and six of the ten plagues that God sent upon Egypt before the exodus of the Israelites in Exodus 7-12:
1. Water to blood (2nd and 3rd vials)
2. Frogs (6th vial)
3. Lice
4. Flies
5. Murrain on animals - pestilence, disease
6. Boils and blisters on men (1st vial)
7. Hail and fire (1st trumpet, 7th trumpet)
8. Locusts (5th trumpet)
9. Darkness (4th trumpet)
10. Death of firstborn
Revelation chapter 17 describes the great whore. A whore can represent a spiritually unfaithful religious group. Israel was a spiritually adulterous bride of God in the Old Testament (Is 54:6, Jer 2:2, Eze 16, Jer 3:1-9, Jer 5:7, Hos 1:2). Israel committed spiritual and literal whoredom with idols (Eze 16, Eze 23, Hos 1:2, Hos 2:2-4, Hos 4:12, Hos 5:4, Nah 3:4). The New Testament church is the bride of Christ (Mt 9:15, Mt 25:1, Jn 3:29, Rom 7:4, 1Cor 6:16-17, 2Cor 11:2, Eph 5:22-32, Rev 19:7-9, Rev 21:1-2 & 9-10 (Mt 5:14, Heb 12:22-23). Therefore, the harlot can be considered a false religion which poses as the bride of Christ. This chapter gives us twelve pieces of information the help us determine who the whore is:
1. Vs 1 - she sits on many waters (many nations - Num 24:7, Is 8:7, Is 17:12-13, Jer 47:2, Jer 51:13, Eze 17:5-8, Eze 31); vs 15 - The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues
2. Vs 2 - the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her (political involvement);
vs 3 - she sat upon the beast of Rev 13
3. Vs 3 - the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine (worldwide)
4. Vs 4 - arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand (physical description)
5. Vs 4 - full of abominations and formication (vs 5 - mother of abominations)
6. Vs 5 - MYSTERY (religious secret, hidden purpose, for this verse in Thayer - hidden or
mystic meaning of a name)
7. Vs 5 - BABYLON (Gen 11:1-9)
a. Babylon Mystery Religion by Ralph Woodrow
b. Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop
c. Three Persons by Thomas Weisser
8. Vs 5 - MOTHER OF HARLOTS
a. is there a religion that calls itself mother?
b. is there a religion that has spawned many daughters?
9. Vs 6 - drunken with the blood of saints and martyrs - a religion that has murdered many
10. Vs 9 - the woman sits on 7 mountains (Rome sits on seven hills - Aventine, Caelian,
Capitoline, Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal, and Viminal)
11. Vs 16-17 - the 10 horns will hate her because God put it in their hearts (true political
agenda over religious veneer one)
12. Vs 18 - the woman is the city which reigned over the world in 90 A.D
Revelation chapter 18 describes the fall of Babylon. In verse 7, she said, "I sit a queen". What institution prominently features a female figure called the queen? Verses 10-19 describe her vast material wealth being destroyed. Is there a religion which fits all of the above information which also has billions of dollars of wealth? Verse 23 says her sorceries deceived the nations, and verse 24 says she murdered prophets, saints, and all on the earth.
Revelation 19:1-6 describes worship in heaven. This passage is the only place in the KJV that the word "Alleluiah" appears, where it does so four times. Verses 7-10 speak of the marriage supper of the Lamb. Verses 11-21 describe the return of the Lord to the earth on a white horse. In this passage He has four names: a name only He knew, Faithful and True, the Word of God, and KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. His armies followed Him in white linen, which symbolizes righteousness (Rev 3:4-5 & 18, Rev 4:4, Rev 6:11, Rev 7:9 & 13-14, 19:8). Note He will not be riding a donkey like He did when He entered Jerusalem the week before He died for our sins (Zech 9:9, Mt 21:1-9). He will rule with a rod of iron, or with absolute authority. Verses 17-21 describe the battle of Armageddon. This will take place in a valley north of Jerusalem which is mentioned twelve times in the Bible. It is about six miles from Mt. Carmel and 11 miles from Nazareth. Its name means "place of crowds". This battle is spoken of in several other passages (Ps 2, Zech 14, 2Thes 2:8, Rev 14:20?, Rev 16:16). Carnivorous birds will gather to eat the bodies of the dead, and the beast and the false prophet will be thrown into the lake of fire. This will be a quick and decisive victory for the Lord.
Revelation 20:1-6 describe the 1,000-year or millennial reign of the Lord and His people which will follow His return. Satan will be bound this whole time, but verses 7-9 say that after that he will be loosed one more time to gather the world for one final attempt to attack the Lord. It is called the battle of God and Magog and is also prophesied about in Ezekiel 38-39 where it addresses Gog and Magog the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. This is the last battle in the Bible. Here are some definitions of these words which will help us understand what is being spoken of:
1. Gog
a. Gesenius: also of the Rossi, Moschi, and Tibareni who is to come with great forces
from the extreme north after the exile to invade the holy land and to perish there
b. Gesenius: equal with Magog seems to be the name of a region not a prince
2. Magog - the land of Gog (Gen 10:2. 1Chr 1:5)
3. Rosh: the uppermost or chief
a. Gesenius: "Rosh was a designation for the tribes then north of the Taurus Mountains,
dwelling in the neighbourhood of the Volga"; also that Rosh in Ezekiel 38-39 is a:
"northern nation, mentioned with Meshech and Tubal; undoubtedly the Russians, who are mentioned by the Byzantine writers of the tenth century, under the name the Ros, dwelling to the north of Taurus, as dwelling on the river Rha (Wolga)."
b. Many scholars say the two Hebrew words translated chief prince should be considered the proper noun of a place and not a person
4. Meshech
a. Gesenius - the barbarous people inhabiting the Moschian mountains, between
Armenia, Iberia, and Colchis, almost always joining with the Tibareni
b. Easton's Bible Dictionary: Drawing out, the sixth son of Japheth (Genesis 10:2), the
founder of a tribe (1 Chronicles 1:5; Ezek. 27:13; 38:2, 3). They were in all probability
the Moschi, a people inhabiting the Moschian Mountains, between the Black and the
Caspian Seas. In Psalm 120:5 the name occurs as simply a synonym for foreigners or barbarians. "During the ascendency of the Babylonians and Persians in Western Asia, the Moschi were subdued; but it seems probable that a large number of them crossed the Caucasus range and spread over the northern steppes, mingling with the Scythians. There they became known as Muscovs, and gave that name to the Russian nation and its ancient capital by which they are still generally known throughout the East"
5. Tubal: a region in east Asia Minor, perhaps nearly equal to Cappadocia
a. Gesenius: the Tibareni, a nation of Asia Minor, dwelling by the Euxine Sea, to the west of the Moschi
b. Scofield Study Bible: "That the primary reference is to the Northern powers headed by Russia, all agree. The reference to Meshech and Tubal (Moscow and Tobolsk) is a
clear mark of identification." Thus the name Moscow derives from the tribal name
Meshech, and Tobolsk, the name of the principal state, from Tubal. This view is partly
based on the similarity of sound in these names and their close proximity to Rosh
(Russia). If this is so, the names Meshech and Tubal, point directly to Russia, being
identified with Moscow, the capital of modern Russia, and Tobolsk in Asiatic Russia.
Modern Tobolsk was founded in 1587 in western Siberia, and from there the Cossacks rode eastward to open up all of Siberia to Russian domination. Meshech and Tubal would then be names standing for Russia in Europe and Asia. L.Sale- Harrison corroborated this identification on linguistic grounds.
6. all above geographical references are north of Israel and in modern Russia (although
some say some are in Turkey)
7. Eze 39:2 - from the north parts; Moscow is directly north of Jerusalem
8. Russia has never invaded Israel yet
Revelation 20:10 shows us Satan being thrown into lake of fire. Then verses 11-15 describe the great white throne judgment. Only the unsaved dead will be judged there. They will be judged by three criteria:
1. the books (biblion- written document) were opened (the Bible)
2. the book of life (Ex 32:32, Ps 69:28, Is 4:3, Dan 12:1, Mal 3:16, Lk 10:20, Phil 4:3, Heb
12:23, Rev 3:5, Rev 13:8, Rev 17:8, Rev 21:27, Rev 22:19)
3. their works
Death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire. Some may wonder about the difference between hell and the lake of fire. Why would people come out of hell, face judgment, and then go to the lake of fire? It can be compared to someone being arrested, charged with a crime, and being held in jail until final disposition and sentencing. People do not serve the final sentence for serious crimes in jail. After final sentencing, they are taken to a prison. Hell can be compared to the jail, and the lake of fire can be compared to the prison. Circumstances between jail and prison may not be very different in some ways, but the parameters of their terms are different. Those whose names are not in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:1 says there will be a new heaven and a new earth (Is 65:17, Is 66:22, 2Pet 3:13); also Acts 3:19-21, Rom 8:19-23). Verses 2-8 describe the blessed eternal state of the saved and the lake of fire for the lost (vs 8). Verses 9-27 describe the new Jerusalem (Gal 4:25-26, Heb 12:22, Rev 3:12). Is this literal or figurative? Verses 2 and 9 say it is the Lamb's wife. Verses 16-17 say it will be about 1363 miles cubed with a wall about 216 feet high. There will be no temple in it because the Lord is its temple. It will not need the sun or moon. There will be no night there because the glory of God will lighten it (Rev 22:5). There will be no sinners there (Rev 22:14-15).
Revelation 22 is the last chapter of the Bible. Verses 1-3 show that conditions of the garden of Eden will be restored. There will be living waters (Jer 2:13, Jer 17:13, Eze 47:1-12, Zech 14:8, Jn 4:10-11, Jn 7:37-39, Rev 21:6, Rev 22:16), the tree of life (Gen 2:9-17, Gen 3:22-24, Prov 11:30, Prov 13:12, Prov 15:4, Rev 2:7, Rev 22:14), and no more curse (Gen 3:14-19, Gen 8:21, Deut 11:26-28, Deut 30, Gal 3:3). The people of God will reign forever (vs 5). Verses 18-19 give a very strong warning against adding or taking away from the contents of the book, and verse 20 closes it with the promise that He will come quickly.
