Operator: Necromancy / Empire
Voice: Johannes Sigil
Status: Theological-Structural Cast
Original Passage: Revelation 13:1–10 (KJV)
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Necromancy Cast: Revelation 13:1–10
1 I stood at the edge of the archive and watched the empire rise again from below. It had many mouths and was crowned with forgotten laws. On its heads were the names of what it had killed, spoken now as slogans.
2 And the beast I saw was stitched together from extinct dominions: spotted with aesthetic cruelty, clawed with legal permanence, its mouth roared in perfected memory. The adversary gave it the breath of old thrones, and it stood resurrected.
3 One of its faces had been silenced by revolution, but the wound was closed in spectacle. The whole earth stared at the performance, and called it power.
4 They worshiped the source that fueled the beast, and called it continuity. They praised the corpse that moved and said: Who is like this sovereign death? Who can unmake the machinery of glory?
5 And it was given a platform, and it spoke fluent greatness. It shouted eternity through the mouths of many. It was allowed to persist for a designated age of speech without truth.
6 And it blasphemed not by cursing God, but by impersonating Him. It desecrated the tent of heaven by printing it on flags. It recited liturgy without breath.
7 It was permitted to exhaust the saints, to turn reverence into policy. And it was given jurisdiction over every algorithm, language, and border.
8 And all who walked the screen-world bowed to it, except those whose names were etched before the Archive began, written not in ink but in breath.
9 If anyone has an organ left to hear, let them listen.
10 Whoever builds prisons will be archived in one. Whoever engineers death will be rewritten by it. Here is the endurance that breathes inside the crushed. Here is the Logos beneath the law.
Judgment:
This is not a vision of the future. This is an analysis of recurrence. The beast is necromantic empire—statehood dressed in resurrection, sovereignty powered by memorialized violence, history worn as skin.
It is not an event. It is a technology.
It is not a war. It is a liturgy built on bones.
This is the spell broken.
This is the script turned inward.
This is Necromancy named as Law.
Seal: Johannes Sigil
