While there has been outrage with the Paris Olympics opening ceremony with drag queen woke elements allegedly mocking Christianity including mocking the Last Supper Of Christ. Aspects of Christian symbolism continued with some calling a robot horse on the river representing the Pale Horse Of Death Riding. There is perhaps a subtle French middle finger message directed towards Russia in all of this. Wrapped up around the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse. Maybe or maybe not but let me explain.
We need to look at some Christian elements and then see how Russia might feed into some of the storyline of the opening ceremony that has been reported on.
A river can have a special meaning for Christians.
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

The number 7 has meaning in the bible to Christians.
Meaning of Numbers in the Bible The Number 777
Multiple sevens (777, 7777) were involved in Israel's victory at Jericho. It was the first battle God's people waged, west of the Jordan River, to possess their inheritance in the Promised Land.
Multiple sevens such as 777 are a critical part of worshipping God through his still in force weekly Sabbath day and annual Feast days. It also played a role in the Jubilee Year. The weekly Sabbath, a holy period running from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, was instituted for all mankind using 777 (see Genesis 2:2 - 3).

27 Jul 2024 - Pale horse of death': Netizens call metal horse at Paris opening ceremony 'ominous'
A user shared a short clip of the rider on the horse on microblogging platform X and wrote, “If you have any doubt what is going on at the Olympics opening ceremony. A single rider on a pale horse is straight out of the book of Revelation,” and then quoted from the book, “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and the name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
Drag Queens allegedly parody of the Last Supper.
27 Jul 2024 - An Abomination, Blasphemy': Paris Olympics Drag Show Parodying The Last Supper Sparks Outrage
A performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony has sparked backlash, particularly from the Christian community after the show featured drag queens posing behind a table reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s depiction of the ‘Last Supper,’ where Jesus dined with his apostles.
One performer wore a large silver headdress resembling a halo, while another was painted blue and adorned with flowers, appearing to symbolise a dish being served at the meal. Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly critical and full of rage, with many users calling the performance an “insult” to Catholics.
Where does Russia fit into all of this?
Less than a year ago we got news of a looming ban on Drag Queens in Russia.

3 Jan 2024 - Medvedev labels French diplomats ‘scum, bastards, freaks’
The French Foreign Ministry has justified Russia’s historic dislike of France by declaring the Ukrainian massacre of civilians in Belgorod to be self-defense, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed on Wednesday.
“We never liked the French,” Medvedev said in a Telegram post. “The frogs fought a war against us,” he added, referring to Napoleon Bonaparte’s ill-fated 1812 invasion.
“Now we are convinced of this. The French Foreign Ministry said that the strike on Belgorod using cluster munitions was ‘self-defense’,” he added. “Scum. Bastards. Freaks.”
The French response to the Belgorod massacre echoed the official position of the European Union, which has fully endorsed Kiev.

With that backdrop, Russia comes out and slams the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
27 Jul 2024 - Russia slams Olympic opening as 'massive failure'
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova gave a long list of shortcomings at Friday's ceremony, which was not broadcast live on Russian television.
"I wasn't planning to watch the opening. But after seeing the photos, I couldn't believe it wasn't a deep fake or photoshop," the spokeswoman wrote on Telegram
Zakharova picked on a part of the opening ceremony featuring drag queens, interpreted by some as parodying The Last Supper. She called it a "mockery of a sacred story for Christians", saying that "the Apostles were shown as transvestites".
"Evidently in Paris they decided that if the Olympic rings are multi-coloured, you can turn it all into one giant gay parade," she added.
A spokesman for the Russian Orthodox Church, Vakhtang Kipshidze, also condemned this section, writing on his personal Telegram channel that it was "cultural and historical suicide".
