You can see another capsulized view of the same in this video -- Revelation 13:1-2 and Revelation 17:

Olympic symbolism: the red bus = the scarlet beast

Leona as the harlot

China as dragon - the yang to the yin of the phoenix Fenghuang, where the Olympic flame arrived on the continent.

"In ancient China, they can often be found in the decorations for weddings or royalty, along with dragons. This is because the Chinese considered the dragon and phoenix symbolic of blissful relations between husband and wife, another common yin and yang metaphor." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenghuang

Beijing means "northern capital" See Hebrew word meaning North, northward (http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H06828&t=KJV )

to see that it has a meaning of obscure and dark, as occult, covert.

Bird's Nest - consider what a bird's nest is for.

Theme song: Whole Lotta Love - consider the lyrics!

Also, consider lyrics of The Olympic Hymn, also known as the Olympic Anthem

Lyrics of the original Hymn in Greek translated into English:

Immortal spirit of antiquity
Father of the true, beautiful and good
Descend, appear, shed over us thy light
Upon this ground and under this sky
Which has first witnessed thy unperishable fame

Give life and animation to these noble games!
Throw wreaths of fadeless flowers to the victors
In the race and in the strife
Create in our breasts, hearts of steel!

In thy light, plains, mountains and seas
Shine in a roseate hue and form a vast temple
To which all nations throng to adore thee
Oh immortal spirit of antiquity!

Olympic rings - five, interlocking, symbol of all the peoples of the world united as one, "won over to Olympism."
Olympic Flame is lit on a torch, with the rays of the Sun.
Mount Olympus, where the gods lived and reigned. (Like Mount Hermon) Genesis 6
Olympic rewards - 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

At the DNC the stage was a Greek Temple.
