In the beginning was the word: And by the time that word was made flesh some 65 million people would be dead; it would be incumbent upon us to discover just what that word might be. The word was and is ARMAGEDDON. Ten letters over-burdened with doom and foreboding, which have tempted us for two thousand years. The graphic imagery and searing examples of interminable and incalculable loss as depicted in the Book of Revelation have always been seen as the fraught ravings of over-heated imaginations. Serpents, dragons, firestorms and eternal damnation make for colorful reading. But the temperature of these febrile ramblings has rendered them all too easily to be dismissed. Yet just supposing one applied objective rational analysis to the text how would they stand up? The breaking down of all great mysteries generally depends on following a single thread or stumbling upon a key that can unlock the labyrinth. The word Armageddon is just such a key. But it must be seen in all its dimensions. Not just a random combination of letters but as an anagram of the ages: One that has served as a sign post to the greatest evils in history: Predicting with clinical accuracy the rise of Hitler, the Holocaust and the darkest must brutal chapter in the history of humanity. We are no longer talking about ARMAGEDDON as a single word but the Alpha and the Omega of a mini-alphabet which forms the nucleus of a secret message from the prophets. Applying the symbolism with four horsemen from the apocalypse and the emblems they carried the facts match up with the four main leaders of the second world war telling of the invasions of France, Holland and Denmark and move onto describe the concentration camps and the Holocaust in chilling horrific detail.
