one of the key themes in the Qur'an is the idea of a "warner" who comes to the people with a message from God that if they do not turn away from the corruption they have fallen into, that God will bring a deadly disaster

this happens in the Sodom and Gomorrah story, and the Tower of Babel story, and the Great Flood story, it is a theme throughout biblical texts, indeed you can say that Daniel performs the task of warner in his account as well

John the prophet, in his book, also is bringing a warning, and as you go through the text of Revelation, it is clear that some parts of it refer to events long past, but later parts, after about 16, refer to events yet to come

what this is about is quite simple and reasonable, actually

disasters happen on a semi-regular basis, and on longer timescales, the geological evidence is they are almost like clockwork, evey 6000 years a major, widespread catastrophe occurs, and less often, even more destructive catastrophes punctuate the normal rhythm

human society has a brittleness in it, that once corruption permeates through the fabric of society beyond a certain point, it is nearly impossible for it to be reformed, and this is where you your Sodom and Gomorrah and Babel and other similar situations

disaster is coming regardless of your opinion about how to "fix" society, and the reason why this is considered by biblical writers to be "from God" is that what it delivers is the actual effective reformation of human society

to end the corruption of a late stage empire, in a long lasting way, you have to destroy all of its large settlements, they literally have to be wiped out, only a tiny fraction of its population survives

this is also how the Babel "confusion of languages" occurred - many of the survivors of the earthquake/flood/volcanic eruption/hellstorm that destroyed the cities of the civilization, often are the small who get forgotten by their corrupted guardians trapped in some structure that survives the conflagration, and they emerge, and with their incomplete understanding of the language and history, grow up, find partners, have children, and pass on their incomplete stories and languages, creating this "confusion"

we are overdue for one of these now

the account in Revelation suggests that the fall of Babylon and Rome were just the warm-up, for a really big one that will see the legacy of the corruption in the modern era finally stamped out completely

it is just a fact of the nature of humans and the history is consistent as is the archaeology

there are a few of us Warners around in these times, and we will keep telling you that the reset is coming, but at some point we will be like Lot, no option any further to remain and no turning back, and our seed will continue but those who refuse to see the futility of fighting the corruption and the inevitability of the total collapse not just of the society but of the entire physical matrix that supports it, will be caught up in it

have fun losing your legacy

i'm making sure i help make one for the coming renewal and golden age
