Another comment noted The Book Of Revelations:

My take on video is below. Somehow the bible never felt more metal! This is an animated version of the bible's Revelations, with Eddie adaptation of course. The man in beginning in robe is The second coming (Jusus 2.0), he sees it is time to release the four horsemen. Only certain individuals are allowed to the party if they can pass to get the mark of the beast (green scanner thing). You see the leaders of the nations, America where democracy is denoted by flag flipped as becoming backwards (where right is wrong and wrong is right). The British Parliament men show care more about themselves then the people they serve, the cripplee astronaut symbolizes Russia whose space conquests have cost their society endless and shown nothing but further poverty for people as result, and china whose rich leader are dragging down the people who literally are the ones who make them wealthy and powerful and the golden dragon he rides is the religious symbol here. At the end, Jesus sacrifices himself into Wrath and unleashes the four horsemen, turning those who sold their souls into demons, and then unveils their leader as the devil he is and plasters him to the wall for all to witness his weakness as God ultimately prevails. At the end, Eddie (aka God's Wrath) starts the world all over again with the Adam and Eve that he saved. I speculate Adam and Eve were in the liquid because they were born near perfect beings, or cloned, or something like that who gave the false prophet his everlasting youth. The apple Eddie gives them is the fruit of Knowledge to start over again the right way on earth.
