APOCALYPSE OF THE NEPHILIM: INTERPRETATION

BY SECTATOR DAVID P. RUINERWULDD

Hello, brothers and sisters in God. I appreciate that you have found the time to both discover and read through this new translation of the Apocalypsis Salvatio. I appreciate that you have decided to find time to study the most accurate text of our Holy Book. Before I begin the interpretation, I would like to properly introduce myself for any of the unacquainted among us. I am Sct. David Palmar Ruinerwuldd, an expert in the study of the Apocalypsis Salvatio. I have been studying the Holy Text for my entire life, and I am glad that I will be able to share what I have learned and deciphered with the entire world. In a way, it is continuing my duty as a Sectator, though I have given up on actively preaching to my congregation, as I have gotten much too old to prepare a new speech every week. As I have been a Sectator for nigh forty years, I see it in the interest of both my faith, and a celebration of such a symbolic landmark, to begin my interpretation with the Apocalypse of the Nephilim, the first book of the Apocalypsis Salvatio, the most correct book in the world. 

Beginning with the first chapter, we get multiple messages from the LORD about his view on the world. “The kings of the world, claiming to be the ‘Nephilim’ amongst themselves, believed themselves to be above humanity.” (Nephilim 1:4). This is absolutely vital– For all those among you who have had the privilege of reading, or being told of, the Genesis, we can see there that before the Flood of Noah, the Nephilim emerged. I would like to think that they took the same role as they did in our world. They were corruptors, they were made to deceive men and turn them away from God into the Pagan Evils of the world, or into worshipping them as gods. However, God saw fit to purge them from the world with flood, and then with flame. For no mercy is to be shown to the evil. “[The flaming arrows] hit the cities where Nephilim resided, the concrete foundations, coalescing into the shape of a mushroom.” (Nephilim 1:20). Now, this passage is of vital importance– Some in recent times, especially the “scientists”, have claimed it to be evidence of some kind of ancient nuclear disaster. This is utter foolishness. If it was that, then it would be documented as thus. But it is not. Instead, it should be taken to mean what it says. That the LORD God rained flame upon the Nephilim to cleanse the world.

And as our God is intensely merciful as we can see in the next chapter of our Holy Book, because despite his decision to annihilate the Nephilim, he still calls to each and every one in the form of Gabriel;  “If you repent, as God has commanded you, you will be spared of destruction. For if you do not repent, the LORD will strike all of you, in every nation of the world, with his wrath.” (Nephilim 2:3-4). Despite everything, despite everything extended to them, not a single Nephilim ended up repenting, coming to belief in Him.

However, there were still people willing to live. The LORD would not have to rebuild from the beginning once more, but he would take the Seven deemed worthy, and he would let them rebuild society. That is the purpose of Chapter 3 of the Apocalypse of the Nephilim– It is to show the worthiness of the Survivors, the ones who have founded our church, including the Holy Prophet Astrid of Agnost. Speaking of the Prophet, we can go around the 4th chapter, giving us the perspective of the Metatron, and go straight into the Revelatory Vision of the Holy Prophet Astrid. There, God tells the Holy Prophet Astrid they will be the beginning of a long line of Prophets, and they will reshape the world after the destruction of the Nephilim. Then in the sixth chapter, Ether tries to upstage the Holy Prophet Astrid by pretending to have a vision. Here the LORD shows the dangers of pretending to be one of his Prophets when you are not one, for the true Prophets shall know you are false.

The next chapter focuses on the heresy of the Traitor Sama. He was deprived of the holiness of his name for the transgressions against God, consorting with Iblis Morningstar without explicit permission and harming his chosen people. Many people today see Sama as some sort of figure to be praised for this act– He is not. Sama is the lowest of low. He is evil, for he has betrayed the LORD in every way that matters. In the next chapter, God tells Michael why people need free will, as is his divine will. 

In the ninth chapter, the twenty-eighth year of their life inside of God’s Sacred Cavern, we can see the establishment of The Apocalypsis and the Day of Survival, the most sacred days for all the adherents of the Apocalypsis Salvatio, and the religious context that surrounds it; That God himself came down and spoke to us, telling us to keep a day somber and sacred, then celebrate our life on the next. Is it not a thing of wonder?

Finally, the thirty-fifth year of their life is the most wonderful, the most interesting chapter of this book of our Text. It is a wonderful thing, to look upon the Kingdom of Heaven as clearly as the Holy Prophet Astrid had all those years ago. Do not brush off this chapter as a “hallucination”, as so many before I have, as so many of the current ERA do! No, see it as it is– Entirely true, and entirely valid. And on that subject, do not take the Holy Prophet Astrid as an adulterer! Though many try to push that theory upon the beloved prophet, that was not them. They were not in relations with Ether of Mormon and Eliza of Pentecost! Shame and excommunication upon any who believe that falsehood, and shame upon their families for letting them believe such.

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry

hey if you're the type of writer that's like me where you tend to write specific scenes first that vaguely weave together into a plot, you might like using obsidian as a writing app.

my frustration with other writing applications is that i will write my scenes out of order and it's hard to move things around and rearrange them on a regular document.

but with obsidian there's this canvas feature where you can just write all your scenes and plot moments on these little cards that you can freely rearrange. you can color code them and connect them too.

here's the canvas i've created for my current multi-chapter fic: (if you zoom in you can see all the text in each card this what it looks like zoomed out)

as you can see, i color code them based off chapters and will group them next to a document card with the working title of the chapter. anything not color-coded are scenes that don't have a proper place quite yet or it's just world building references. this app can also be good for note-taking and collecting research!

best of all, it's FREE!!! the only downside is that if you want your stuff to sync across devices, you do have to pay for that. i constantly hop between my laptop and desktop so i pay for the syncing. but if you write on only one device it's completely free!

i typically use it for organizing my thoughts for a first draft. once i get all the scenes arranged and mostly written out, i will copy and paste them into ellipsus (also free & highly recommended as a google doc alternative) so that they're all in one document that i can edit.

I come from a culture that has no nudity taboo - nudity is not considered inherently sexual, or somehow traumatising to witness. What that means in practice is that there is a clearly drawn line between sexual and non-sexual nudity. There is nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a sexual context, and nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a non-sexual context. However, it is 100% inappropriate to be nude in a situation where it is not obvious from context whether this is sexual or not.

I've seen random kids who briefly escaped from their parents bolt across a public park buck-ass naked after they were playing in the water fountain and their parents were in the middle of changing their kid from wet clothes to dry clothes when the small nudist escaped. Changing your small kid's clothes right there in public is ok because there is obviously nothing sexual about a child whose clothes got wet. But although people will have baby pictures of their kids in the bath or just running around the house like that because sometimes little apes hate clothes for some reason, it's considered common sense to not share those pictures on facebook mom groups and such, because you have no way of knowing who's seeing them, and that blurs the line of context.

It all boils down to the clearly defined context. Bathing nude in the same sauna with five of your co-workers at the office christmas party? Clearly nonsexual, therefore completely fine. Your friend-with-benefits inviting you to come over and opening the door in nothing but a doggy collar and the most porn-scented perfume? Clearly sexual, therefore completely fine. A woman checking her breasts for lumps in the gym lockers just before or after a shower? Clearly non-sexual, therefore completely fine.

But if you went to the bank today and there's some guy who walks in and immediately strips naked, doing his banking business wearing nothing but a deep smile and being clearly very content with this situation, you have no way of telling whether he's getting kicks out of this or not. There is no contextual reason for him to be nude. Therefore, that is inappropriate.

Then you go home and post on tumblr - as one does - going like "there was some dude completely fucking buck-ass naked in the bank today. That was fucking weird and I wish he had not done that." And someone immediately swoops into inform you that actually nudity is not inherently sexual or inappropriate, and there are cultures out there that have no nudity taboo. It's not fair to call somebody a freak for something like that, maybe that guy was just finnish.
