Unveiling 8
The Silent Half Interval
And when he opened the Seventh Signet-Seal, she became a silent one within the Heavenly One, just as a half time interval.
and the half interval of herself...
The term ἡμιόριον (hēmiorion), derived from ἡμι- ("half") and ὥρα/ὄριον ("time period" or "boundary/interval"), refers to "half a unit of time" or "a partial interval." In the prophetic and eschatological contexts, it symbolizes a shorter duration within a larger temporal framework, such as the "time, times, and half a time" found in the apocalyptic literature (e.g., Daniel 7:25; Revelation 12:14).
vs. the "whole note":
And I perceived the Seven Angels, whichever ones are standing in the eye of the God, and they have been given to themselves, seven war-trumpets.
And another angel came, and he stood ready on the Altar, he who is holding golden frankincense, and he was given to self, aromatic incense multitudinous, so that he will give to the Prayers of the all the Holy ones upon the Golden Altar in the eye of the Throne.
And the Smoke of the Incenses climbed up to the Prayers of the Holy ones from out of a hand of the Angel in the eye of the God.
Climbing out of the "hand" of Evening Five maidens in the evening dark... ...now seven in the dawn light
"I have spoken, I am climbing within a palm tree ("Tamar"), I am taking possession within the spadix-stalk of himself, and they are becoming, pray, the dual breasts of yourself as the clusters of the Vine, and the aroma of the nostril of yourself as the Apple Trees!"
(Song of Songs 7:8 RBT)And the Angel took hold of the Frankincense and filled up himself from out of the Fire of the Altar, and he cast into the Earthly One, and they became thunders and voices and bright lightnings, and also an earthquake.
The Five Maidens, now Seven
And the Seven Angels, the ones who are holding the seven war-trumpets, prepared themselves so that they could sound the blast.
The Fake Pastures Burned Up
And the First One sounded a blast, and she became a hailstorm and fire, those that have been mixed within blood, and she was cast into the Earthly One and the Third One of the Earthly One was burned up, and the Third One of the Trees was burned up, and every tender-shoot colored pasture was burned up.12And the Second Angel sounded a blast, and just like a mega mountain, that which is burning up with fire was cast into the Sea and the Third One of the Sea, she became blood.
Κτισμάτων -"buildings/Colonies"
And the Third One of the Buildings died off, the ones within the Sea, the ones who are holding a soul-life, and the Third One of the Ships, they were completely destroyed.And the Third Angel sounded a blast, and a mega star fell from out of the Heavenly One, he who is being kindled, just like a torch, and he fell upon the Third One of the Rivers and upon the Springs of the Waters.
Venus the Evening Star
And the Name of the Star is called the Wormwood/Absinthe,13 and the Third One of the Waters became into a wormwood/absinthe, and multitudes of the Men died away from out of the Waters which were made bitter.
"And the end of herself a bitter rebel ("Marah") like wormwood, sharper than a sword of mouths."
(Proverbs 5:4 RBT)The Third Day of Herself
And the Fourth Angel sounded a blast, and the Third One of the Sun and the Third One of the Moon and the Third One of the Stars was struck, so that the Third One of themselves should be darkened, and the Day, she should not appear, the Third One of herself. And the Night in like manner.μεσουράνημα - spanning the heavenly ones
And I perceived and I heard one eagle, he who is flying within middle-heaven, he who is speaking by a mega voice, "Woe Woe Woe to the ones who are living upon the Earthly One from out the Remaining ones, voices of the War-Trumpet of the Three Angels of the ones who are destined to sound a blast!"
Footnotes
The Greek κατεκάη is in the 3rd person singular in this verse. Translating this phrase in the plural, "a third of trees were burned up" ignores this fact.
τὸ τρίτον (to triton) is not commonly used in Classical Greek to express a fraction (i.e. a third). Classical Greek typically used a different construction to express fractions. The word "τρίτον" could mean "a third" as a part of a whole, but it is more common to see fractions expressed using the genitive case with the word "μοῖρα" (moira), which means "part" or "portion." So we would expect to see "τρίτον μέρος" (triton meros) "a third part" if that was the intended meaning. In mathematical or technical contexts, the Greeks often used specific numerical terms, such as "τριτημόριον" (tritēmorion) for "a third."
Hence our translation, "the Third One".
Greek word ἄψινθον (ápsinthon) is the etymological root for the word "absinthe."
Absinthe (or absynth) is directly associated with wormwood. Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a bitter herb known for its distinctive aromatic qualities. It has been used historically in various cultures for medicinal purposes, flavoring, and even in rituals. Absinthe is a distilled, high-proof alcoholic beverage that prominently includes wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) as one of its key ingredients, along with other herbs like anise and fennel.
The wormwood in absinthe contributes to its characteristic bitter flavor and contains a compound called thujone, which was historically thought to have psychoactive properties.
