Another interesting event with connections to Apollo…
Comet SWAN (C/2020 F8) discovered on 25 March 2020. The swan is a symbol of Apollo. He is often depicted riding a chariot pulled by swans.

Apollo was the god of assembly, religious law, and constitutions of cities, and we are seeing these topics in the news every day in 2020. How many assemblies have been closed around the world due to the coronavirus? Our churches have been closed for so long. Our rights to gather in other ways, as well. Our Constitutional rights in the US are being violated in many ways, and we see lawlessness gaining an upper hand over order not only here, but all around the world.
All of this because of the rise of the coronavirus. A corona also being a ring of light around the sun, it is amazing to me that Apollo is depicted with a sun corona around his head.
Apollo was also the god of flocks and herds, and we have seen so many cases in the news headlines where flocks and herds have been euthanised during the coronavirus pandemic, leading to meat shortages.

Apollo is also mentioned in Revelation 9:1-12 as Apollyon (the Destroyer), the angel of the Abyss, the king of the locusts that rise from the Abyss. One of his epithets is "Apollo Parnopius," referring to locusts/grasshoppers. Interesting that aside from coronavirus, we also see a plague of locusts occurring right now. I know these are not the locusts of the Abyss, but interesting phenomenon during the ride of Apollo… And if the physical is a representation of the spirit, the physical locusts, may be representing those from the pit.

Hi, Mike! Yes, that’s it exactly! And I am wondering if there will be four waves of the current locust plague, maybe in connection with Joel 1:1-4,
1This is the word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel: 2Hear this, O elders; and give ear, all who dwell in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your fathers? 3Tell it to your children; let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. 4What the devouring locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust has left, the young locust has eaten; and what the young locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.

Quite some time ago, I was reading a book by Steve Cioccolanti called "The Divine Code" and discovered his theory that the Psalms correspond to the years 1900 to 2050. I thought it was amazing, so I took a look at Psalm 120, which would be for Year 2020. Here is what it says, with my comments in parentheses: In my trouble, I cried to the Lord, and He answered me. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? (From the impeachment lies to the Flynn case and to so many headlines in the news about corruption, false accusations, false promises, fake news, etc., how fitting this verse is for this year! Sharp arrows of the warrior, (perhaps a connection to the First Seal?) with the burning coals of the broom tree (perhaps a connection to the riots of the Second Seal?) Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, for I dwell among the tents of Kedar! Too long has my soul had its dwelling with those who hate peace. I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war. (Perhaps relating to the Deal of the Century that was revealed this year?) Interesting notes about the broom tree: "In Biblical Israel, the white broom tree was used for kindling in cooking stoves and coals were made from its roots, trunks, and branches (Job 30:4). Broom embers retain their heat for long periods after they appear to be dead ashes. An ancient Israelite reading that on awakening Elijah saw bread baked on embers would have assumed the embers retained fire from an earlier traveler and were blown into heat to bake the bread. Desert travelers have reported forming a layer of broom embers to suit their size. They covered the embers with a 2–4 inch layer of sand or fine soil. The sand-cover embers provided a warm mattress during the cold desert night. Perhaps Elijah had such a mattress as he slept under the broom tree." (Source: Carolyn Roth. "Elijah Under the Broom Tree." God as a Gardener: Experiencing God Through Plants. 15 April 2012. godasagardener.com/2012/04/15/elijah-under-the-broom-tree/Is there a connection with the retained embers ready to ignite new fires and the underlying rage of protesters ready to ignite new violence and chaos?

For the rider on the red horse, I theorize there may be two entities--Ares and Mars, which are actually the same entity with different characteristics. Ares was the Greek god of war, while Mars was the Roman god of war.
Ares was said to war with senseless destruction, passion, violence, rage, and terror. He was the patron of brigands and bandits, as well as of the powers of law enforcement and armed guards. He was the god of murder and manslaughter, civil disturbance, riots, rebellions, and uprisings. Yet he was also the god of civil order. He was said to have no loyalty to the party which he was supposedly supporting, and it seems he fought on both sides of a conflict. Could we see that in the death of George Floyd, who was a security guard? The police officer, Derek Chauvin, is representative of both the power of law enforcement as well as murder/manslaughter.
Notice the last name of the police officer--Chauvin. The last name is the same as that of the French soldier Nicolas Chauvin. Here is some information about Nicolas Chauvin:
He is a legendary, possibly apocryphal French soldier and patriot of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Era. It is said he was wounded 17 times in battle and was severely disfigured. Napoleon was said to have presented him a Sabre of Honor. From his name came the term "chauvinism." It originally meant an extreme nationalism, but eventually came to refer to any form of bigotry or bias.
Can it be coincidence alone that the name Chauvin is connected with the theme of bigotry and bias? Can it be coincidence that the name Chauvin is tied to the French Revolution and Napoleonic Era? I'll have more about the French Revolution in a future post.
I don't believe in coincidence…

Interesting that both the coronavirus and the death of George Floyd have aspects of the theme "I can't breathe." Also, the great Saharan dust storm called the "Gorilla" is recently in the news, causing breathing difficulty.

Another curious thing about the god Ares… He is described as having eyes that flash lightning (levin-flame). On 05 June 2020, lightning struck the Washington Monument in Washington DC and injured some National Guardsmen in Lafayette Square.
I've been taking note of names and ideas related to the French Revolution in these 2020 events, and find it interesting that the guardsmen were injured in Lafayette Square. My history hero, Lafayette, was the head of the National Guard in France during the French Revolution. George Perry Floyd Jr. was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and lived in St. Louis Park.
I theorize that the spirit of Ares was at work during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, which eventually gave rise to the spirit of Mars during the Age of Napoleon. Both Robespierre and Napoleon are historic "types" of the antiChrist. And I theorize that we will soon find the spirit of Mars showing up on the world scene here in our times.

Unlike Ares, the Roman god Mars used strategy to wage war. He was the cool, calculating mind not prone to acting on passion. He used war as a means to establish peace and order, which sounds like what we know about the antiChrist. Mars was known for the "Carthaginian Peace," which is the imposition of a brutal peace achieved by completely crushing an enemy.
Mars was said to be the father of the Roman people, and the antiChrist has long been believed to be of Roman descent.
Mars' festivals were held in March and October. From the name Mars comes our current words "martial" as in "martial arts" or "martial law."

Wanted to share this video with you, as what this pastor says about November may be tied to my speculative dates for November that I shared with you in the first post of this thread--the Third Seal economic disaster.

Greetings, brothers and sisters in Jesus!
The third seal is described in Revelation 6:5-6 in this way: "And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not waste the oil and wine.”
The original word for the "pair of scales" is zygon, which can mean a pair of scales, but also can mean: “A yoke that joins two entities to serve as one” “Servitude” “The beam of a balance”
I theorize that the rider on the black horse is Hermes/Mercury. Here is some information about him:
Greek and Roman god of finance, commerce and trade (particularly the grain trade)
God of eloquence, translation, interpretation, writing, communication
God of athletic events, luck, trickery, cunning, and thieves
God of astronomy and astrology
God of roads, travelers, boundaries, borders
His festival day was May 15, which is of particular note because it is the date on my speculation calendar for the 4th Seal to be opened.
He was the messenger of the gods often depicted holding the caduceus in his left hand.
The Caduceus was the staff of a messenger or herald, or of a peace negotiator (who was known as a caduceator). As such, it provided diplomatic protection for its bearer. It was also a symbol of commerce and negotiation. It is often incorrectly used as a symbol of medical practice, being confused with the Rod of Asclepius. It is said to wake the sleeping and put those who are awake to sleep. It is said to bring a gentle death to the dying and to return life to the dead.

I have been finding many pictures of caduceus with scales in my research...

Also finding much artwork connecting the caduceus to DNA. This is interesting to me because of current talk about the mark of the beast possibly being something that will change a person’s DNA. If the mark of the beast rises as a remedy to economic disaster, this may have significance with the rider of the black horse of the Third Seal.
