Attempting a world seige.
Army from within and plus ultra:
above, under, or beyond the poles.
No. It was walled cities when it was written. Walled cities existed all the way up until the early 1900s which had star forts. Cities and city states built with walls. When revelations was written it was walled cities. Often competing and rivalling city states, these sometimes shared protection against the nomadic roaming barbarian hordes like the Huns and Mongols etc. Or were bound by Empires.
Revelations is seige warfare. Nothing more nothing less. A walled city being destroyed. Like Babylon or Jerusalem and countless others.These cities were the pinnacles of civilization in their day. Due to their fortifications and populations. They ruled the surrounding kingdom competing against the next walled city state.
Revelations plays into the narrative today with nukes and bombs. But then when it was written specifically implies seige warfare. Of course the narrative is timeless and destined to repeat as it had done from prior Ezekiel where the new testament relayered with the latest Roman innovations.
Yeah its a war story. They sure been pushing it hard for a few thousand years...
It repeats in every war. Like Aleppo etc
Imagine a seiged city.
Then there was no rules. No Geneva convention. No UN. Example Julius Caesar impaled an entire city that resisted his seige. When it surrendered he executed them. Some of the nobility and women and children, starving, were sent out from the city in its pleas for survival. So he raped and burnt and impaled the women, he mounted the children on spikes burning them, he also chopped up their bodies catapulting them into the city to force surrender. They surrendered and so he crucified them. He then took the king Brennus to every other city in its kingdom, parading him naked to force its surrender which he brutally enslaved often as galley slaves, and whores.
Then Kings and Queens and nobility impaled and tortured to death and mounted on spikes. Losing armies crucified or beheaded. Prior to an invasion the starvation of a city under seige, catapults pounding the walls, reigning fire, the wells and waterways poisoned. People eating bird shit, or cannibalising each other. Disease spreading. Traitors within. Your enemy doesn't want your city and burns it all to the ground after looting it.
