Mark of the Beast Saturn
Saturn represents the golden age of the gods, Atlantis/Days of
Noah. The 7 Heads and 10 horns of the beast kingdom is
pictured by the 7 rings and 10 moons of Saturn. This kingdom
will be replay of what was seen in the days of Noah, just as Adonai
Yahshua spoke of (Matthew 24:37; Luke 17:26) where the fallen
angels mix with mankind(Daniel 2:43), promising them that ye shall
not die(Genesis 3:4; Isaiah 28:15, 18).The term Novus Ordo
Seclorum, A New Order of the Ages, was adapted by Charles
Thomson in 1782 who, while designing the Great Seal of the United
States, was inspired by a line in Virgils Ecologue IV from the first
century:
Now the last age by Cumae Sibyl has come and gone,
And the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew:
Justice returns, old Saturns reign
With a new breed of men sent down from heaven.
On do thou, at the boys birth in whom
The iron shall cease, the golden race arise,
Befriend him, chaste Lucina: this thine own Apollo reigns.
He shall receive the life of gods,
And see Heroes and gods commingling,
And himself be seen of them,
And with his fathers worth.
TALISMAN OF SATURN
On the first face is engraveda pentagram or a star with five
points. On the other side is engraved a bulls head enclosed in a
SIX-POINTED STAR, and surrounded by letters composing the
name REMPHA, THE PLANETARY GENIUS OF
SATURN, according to the alphabet of the Magi. (Christian, p. 3045)
The most important of the Titans was Cronus, in Latin Saturn.
The Roman god of agriculture concerned with the sowing of the
seeds*.
*The Holy Scriptures state that the Son of Man (the Messiah) is the
one who sows the seed. Saturn/satan is the counterfeiterhe sows
the tares.
Mat 13:37 And answering, He said to them, The One sowing
the good seed is the Son of Man.
Mat 13:38 And the field is the world; and the good seed,
these are the sons of the kingdom; but the darnel are the
sons of the evil one.
Mat 13:39 And the hostile one who sowed them is the Devil,
and the harvest is the end of the age, and the angels are
the reapers.
Mat 13:40 Then as the darnel is gathered and is consumed
in the fire, so it will be in the completion of this age.
Mat 13:41 The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and
they will gather out of His kingdom all the offenses, and
those who practice lawlessness.
Mat 13:42 And they will throw them into the furnace of fire;
there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
Saturn is named after the Roman god Saturnus (that became the
namesake of Saturday click here), equated to the Greek Kronos (the
Titan father of Zeus) the Babylonian Ninurta and to the Hindu Shani.

In memory of the Golden Age of man, a mythical age when Saturn
was said to have ruled, a great feast called Saturnalia was held
during the winter months around the time of the winter solsticeclick
here.
In Babylon he was called Ninib and was an agricultural deity. Saturn,
called Cronus by the Greeks, was, at the dawn of the Ages of the
Gods, the Protector and Sower of the Seed and his wife, Ops, (called
Rhea by the Greeks) was a Harvest Helper. Saturn was one of the
Seven Titans or Numina and with them, reigned supreme in the
Universe. The Titans were of incredible size and strength and held
power for untold ages, until they were deposed by Jupiter.
The Titans = the Nephilim
The Romans said that when Saturns son, Jupiter (Zeus) ascended to
the throne, Saturn fled to Italy and brought in the Golden Age, a
time of perfect peace and happiness, which lasted as long as he
reigned. In memory of the Golden Age, when Saturn reigned in
Italy, the great feast of Saturnaliaclick here was held every year
during the winter. The idea of it was that the Golden Age returned
to the earth during the days it lasted.
This Golden Age is a foreshadowing of the kingdom of the
antichrist. The Holy Scriptures speak of this time as a time of peace
which proceeds the destruction that comes from the Almighty when
Yahshua HaMoschiach returns to earth. Ezekiel 35:14; Isaiah 14:7;
Revelation 18:20
Cronus
The giants sprang forth from his blood. Cronus was lord of the
universe, with his sister-queen, Rhea (lat. Ops).
His son, the future ruler of heaven and earth, whose name in Greek
is Zeus and in Latin Jupiter, rebelled against him.
Zeus punished his conquered enemies by bounding them in bitter
chains beneath the wide-wayed earth, as far below the earth as over
earth is heaven, for even so far down lies Tartarus.
Star of Saturn/Moloch
Act 7:37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel,
The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet to you from
your brothers, One like me. You shall hear Him. Deut. 18:15
Act 7:38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the
wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him in Mount Sinai,
and with our fathers, who received living Words to give to
us,
Act 7:39 to whom our fathers did not desire to be subject,
but thrust him away, and turned their hearts back to Egypt,
Act 7:40 saying to Aaron, Make for us gods which will go
before us; for this Moses who led us out of the land of
Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. Ex. 32:1
Act 7:41 And they made a calf in those days, and led a
sacrifice up to the idol, and made merry in the works of
their hands.
Act 7:42 But God turned and gave them over to serve the
host of the heaven, as it has been written in the book of the
Prophets: Did you bring slain beasts and sacrifices to Me
forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Act 7:43 And you took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of
your god Remphan, the figures which you made in order
to worship them. And I will remove you beyond
Babylon. Amos 5:25-27
John Gill commentary
Act 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Molech. Sometimes
called Molech, and sometimes Milcorn; it was the god of the
Ammonites, and the same with Baal: the one signifies king, and
the other lord; and was, no doubt, the same with the Apis or
Serapis of the Egyptians, and the calf of the Israelites.
Here it is seen that the hexagram symbol traces back to
Molech which is linked to the golden calf in the wilderness
(Exodus 32:4), and later set up as a counterfeit Temple by the
Northern tribes. The important thing to notice here is that the
golden calf was used to worship YHWH.
Exo 32:4 And he took them from their hand and formed it
with an engraving tool. And he made it a casted calf. And
they said, These are your gods, O Israel, who made you go
up from the land of Egypt.
Exo 32:5 And Aaron saw, and he built an altar before it. And
Aaron called and said, A feast to YHWH tomorrow.
1Ki 12:28 And the king took counsel and made two calves of
gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to
Jerusalem. Behold your gods, O Israel, which brought you up
out of the land of Egypt!
1Ki 12:29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he
put in Dan.
1Ki 12:30 And this thing became a sin, for the people went
before the one, to Dan.
1Ki 12:31 And he made a house of high places, and made
priests of the lowest of people, who were not of the sons of
Levi.
1Ki 12:32 And Jeroboam made a feast in the eighth month,
in the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in
Judah; and he offered on the altar, so he did in Bethel, to
sacrifice to the calves which he made; and he made stand in
Bethel the priests of the high places that he made.
1Ki 12:33 And he offered up on the altar that he made in
Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the
month that he devised out of his own heart; and he made a
feast for the sons of Israel, and offered on the altar, to burn
incense.
Notice that golden calf worship is a mixture between the worship of
YHWH and the worship of the beast. It is also associated with the
feasts and changing of the calendar. Saturn = Chronus who is
synonymous with time. The beast changes the times.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak words against the Most High,
and he shall wear out the saints of the Most High. And he
intends to change times and law. And they shall be given
into his hand until a time and times and one half time..
The word translated as mark in Revelation is used only one other
time in Scripture referring to man engraving something to represent
the Almighty.
Act 17:29 Then being offspring of God, we ought not to
suppose that the Godhead is like gold or silver or
stone, engraved by art and the imagination of man.
This is the essence of the mark of the beastit is a counterfeit
worship of YHWH. This is what the golden calf was. Making a
golden calf (beast) and calling it YHWH (Exodus 32:5). This is who
the antichrist will be. A counterfeit Yahshua.
Amo 5:25 Have you brought near sacrifices and food
offerings to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of
Israel?
Amo 5:26 Yea, you have lifted up the booth of your king,
and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you
made for yourselves!
John Gill commentary on Amos 5:26
the star of your god {hexagram/Talisman of Saturn/seal of
Solomon/star of David}, which ye made to yourselves; or the star
your god (q); meaning the same with Chiun or Saturn; perhaps
the same with the star that fell from the air or sky, mentioned
by Sanchoniatho (r); which Astarte, the wife of Chronus or
Saturn, is said to take and consecrate in Tyre; this they made for
themselves, and worshipped as a deity.

Inasmuch as the genius of the planet Saturn, or Kronos, was
held by the Talmudists to be good and pure, contrary to those
of the other planets, the Four-winged image, so common upon
Gnostic gems, may reasonably be considered as a copy from the

Saturn had special claims to the veneration of the
Alexandrine Kabbalists. And this belief explains wherefore
Valentinus fixed upon this planet for the abode of Ildabaoth,.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
1. Chiun, Certainly the Planet Saturn
One planet is certainly mentioned in Old Testament, and we may
safely infer that the other four were known, since this particular
planet is the least conspicuous both in brightness and in motion,
and was therefore probably the last to be discovered
. The reference to Saturn occurs in Amos 5:25 -26. This
passage was quoted from Septuagint by Stephen in his defense,
And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice
unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands. But Eloah
turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is
written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain
beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of
Israel? And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the
god Rephan, The figures which ye made to worship them (Act_7:4143).
The difference between the names Chiun and Rephan, is due either
to Rephan being local Egyptian name for the planet Saturn, and
therefore used by the Septuagint as its equivalent, or to an actual
error of transcription in the text from which they were translating:
the initial of the word being taken as resh ( )when it should have
been kaph (), r instead of k. The word should therefore be
transliterated Kaivan, which was the name of the planet Saturn
amongst the ancient Arabs and Syrians, while kaimanu, constant
or regular, was its name with the Assyrians. The English Revised
Version in Amo_5:26 adopts the reading of the King James Version
margin, Siccuth your king, Moloch meaning king; but the authority
of the Septuagint and the parallelism of the text and its general line
of thought support the reading given by some of the ancient
versions and followed by the King James Version.
2. Saturn or Moloch Worship
The difficulty of the passage is that both Amos and Stephen appear
to represent the worship of the golden calf as identical with
the worship of Moloch and of the planet Saturn; yet though
Kaivan is only mentioned here, the nature of the reference would
imply that this deity was one familiar both to speaker and hearers.
The difficulty vanishes at once, if the plain statement of Stephen be
accepted, that when God permitted Israel to go after the
stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own
counsels (Psa_81:12) He gave them up to serve the host of
heaven. The worship of the golden calf was star worship; it
was the solar bull, the constellation Taurus, in which the sun was
at the time of the spring equinox, that was thus represented. The
golden calf was therefore analogous to the familiar symbol of the
Mithraic cult, the bull slain by Mithra, Sol Invictus, if indeed the
latter did not take its origin from this apostasy of Israel. See CALF,
GOLDEN.
And Moloch the king, the idol of the Ammonites and
Phoenicians, was intimately connected both with the solar
bull and the planet Saturn. According to the rabbins, his statue
was of brass, with a human body but the head of an oxclick here .
On the Carthaginian worship of Moloch or Saturn, Diodorus (book xx,
chapter i) writes: Among the Carthaginians there was a brazen
statue of Saturn putting forth the palms of his hands bending in
such a manner toward the earth, as that the boy who was laid upon
them, in order to be sacrificed, should slip off, and so fall down
headlong into a deep fiery furnace. Hence it is probable that
Euripides took what he fabulously relates concerning the sacrifice in
Taurus, where he introduces Iphigenia asking Orestes this question:
But what sepulchre will me dead receive, shall the gulf of sacred
fire me have? The ancient fable likewise that is common among all
the Grecians, that Saturn devoured his own children, seems to be
confirmed by this law among the Carthaginians. The parallelism of
the text therefore is very complete. The Israelites professed to be
carrying the tabernacle of Yahweh upon which rested the Shekinah
glory; but in spirit they were carrying the tabernacle of the cruelest
and most malignant of all the deities of the heathen, and the light in
which they were rejoicing was the star of the planet assigned to that
deity.
Moloch then was the sun as king, and especially the sun as he
entered upon what might be considered his peculiar kingdom, the
zodiac from Taurus to Serpens and Scorpio, the period of the six
summer months. The connection of the sun with Saturn may seem
to us somewhat forced, but we have the most direct testimony that
such a connection was believed in by the Babylonians click here . In
Thompsons Reports, obverse of No. 176 reads: When the sun
stands in the place of the moon, the king of the land will be secure
on his throne. When the sun stands above or below the moon, the
foundation of the throne will be secure. The sun in this inscription
clearly cannot be the actual sun, and it is explained on the reverse
as being the star of the sun, the planet Saturn. No. 176 rev. reads:
Last night Saturn drew near to the moon. Saturn is the star of the
sun. This is the interpretation: it is lucky for the king. The sun is the
kings star. The connection between the sun and Saturn probably
arose from both being taken as symbols of Time. The return of the
sun to the beginning of the zodiac marked the completion of the
year. Saturn, the slowest moving of all the heavenly bodies,
accomplished its revolution through the signs of the zodiac in about
30 years, a complete generation of men. Saturn therefore was in a
peculiar sense the symbol of Time, and because of Time, of Destiny.
Swift Platinum Eastons Topical Bible:
Remphan (Acts 7:43; R.V., Rephan). In Amos 5:26 the Heb. Chiun
(q.v.) is
rendered by the LXX. Rephan, and this name is adopted by Luke in
his narrative of
the Acts. These names represent the star-god Saturn or Moloch.
Morals & Dogma pg 509
Smiths Bible Dictionary by William Smith, L.L.D. p.561:
Remphan, Acts 7:43, and Chiun, Amos 5:26, have been supposed
to be names of
an idol worship secretly by the Israelites in the wilderness. Much
difficulty has been
occasioned by this corresponding occurrence of two names so
wholly different in
sound. The most reasonable opinion seems to be that Chiun was a
Hebrew or
Semitic name and Remphan and Egyptian equivalent substituted by
the LXX.
This idol corresponded probably to Saturn or Molech. The mention of
Chiun or
Remphan as worshipped in the desert shows that this idolatry was,
in part at least,
that of foreigners, and no doubt of those settled in lower Egypt.

should do this detestable thing, to cause Judah to sin.

John Gill commentary
to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire: which was done,
as Jarchi says, by putting them into the arms of the brasen image
Moloch, heated hot. The account he gives of Tophet is this,
Tophet is Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated him
from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made
hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it
vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father
might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be
moved:
but in this he is mistaken; for Tophet was not the name of an idol,
but of a place, as is clear from this and the following verse. There is
some agreement between this account of Jarchi, and that which
Diodorus Siculus (z) gives of Saturn, to whom children were
sacrificed by the Carthaginians; who had, he says, a brasen image
of Saturn*, which stretched out his hands, inclining to the earth; so
that a child put upon them rolled down, and fell into a chasm full of
fire:

Gehenna
gee-hena (, geenna (see Grimm-Thayer, under the word)):
Gehenna is a transliteration from the Aramaic form of the Hebrew
ge-hinnom, valley of Hinnom. This latter form, however, is rare in
the Old Testament, the prevailing name being the valley of the son
of Hinnom.
In the New Testament (King James Version margin) Gehenna occurs
in Mat_5:22, Mat_5:29, Mat_5:30; Mat_10:28; Mat_18:9; Mat_23:15,
Mat_23:33; Mar_9:43, Mar_9:15, Mar_9:47; Luk_12:5; Jam_3:6.
Gehenna is rendered as hell. That the valley of Hinnom became
the technical designation for the place of final punishment was due
to two causes. In the first place the valley had been the seat of the
idolatrous worship of Molech, to whom children were immolated by
fire (2Ch_28:3; 2Ch_33:6).
Paul G. Mosca, translates Cleitarchus paraphrase of a scholia to
Platos Republic as:
There stands in their midst a bronze statue of Kronos, its hands
extended over a bronze brazier, the flames of which engulf the
child. When the flames fall upon the body, the limbs contract and
the open mouth seems almost to be laughing until the contracted
body slips quietly into the brazier. Thus it is that the grin is known
as
sardonic laughter, since they die laughing.
Diodorus Siculus (20.14) wrote:
There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus extending its
hands, palms up
and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when
placed thereon
rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire.
Star of Saturn
Encyclopedia of Freemasonry vol 1 pg 132
Sabaism, or the worship of the stars, was one of the earliest
deviations from the true system of religion. One of its causes was
the universally established doctrine among the idolatrous nations of
antiquity, that each star was animated by the soul of a hero god,
who had once dwelt incarnate upon earth. Hence, in the
hieroglyphical system, the star denoted a god. To this
signification, allusion is made by the prophet Amos, when he says to
the Israelites, while reproaching them for their idolatrous habits:
But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your
images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. (Amos
v. 26)
This idolatry was early learned by the Israelites from their Egyptian
taskmasters; and so unwilling were they to abandon it, that Moses
found it necessary strictly to forbid the worship of anything that is
heaven above; notwithstanding which we find the Jews repeatedly
committing the sin which had been so expressly forbidden. Saturn
was the star to whose worship they were more particularly
addicted under the names of Moloch and Chiun, already
mentioned in the passage quoted from Amos. The planet
Saturn was worshipped under the names of Moloch, Malcom
or Milcom by the Ammonites, the Canaanites, the
Phoenicians, and the Carthaginians, and under that of Chium
by the Israelites in the desert. Saturn was worshipped
among the Egyptians under the name Raiphan, or, as it is
called in the Septuagint, Remphan. Stephen, quoting the
passage of Amos, says, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch
and the star of your god Remphan. (Acts vii.43)
Alexander Hislop Two Babylons Chapter 7
The name of the system is Mystery (Rev 17:5). Here, then, we
have the key that at once unlocks the enigma.We have now only
to inquire what was the name by which Nimrod was known
as the god of the Chaldean Masteries. That name, as we
have seen, was Saturn. Saturn and Mystery are both Chaldean
words, and they are correlative terms. As Mystery signifies the
Hidden system, so Saturn signifies the Hidden god. *
* In the Litany of the Mass, the worshippers are taught thus to pray:
God Hidden, and my Saviour, have mercy upon us. (MGAVINS
Protestant) Whence can this invocation of the God Hidden have
come, but from the ancient worship of Saturn, the Hidden God? As
the Papacy has canonised the Babylonian god by the name of St.
Dionysius, and St. Bacchus, the martyr, so by this very name of
Satur is he also enrolled in the calendar; for March 29th is the
festival of St. Satur, the martyr. (CHAMBERS Book of Days)
To those who were initiated the god was revealed; to all else he was
hidden. Now, the name Saturn in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but,
as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters, thus
Stur. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number 666:
S = 060
T = 400
U = 006
R = 200
If the Pope is, as we have seen, the legitimate representative of
Saturn, the number of the Pope, as head of the Mystery of Iniquity,
is just 666. But still further it turns out, as shown above, that the
original name of Rome itself was Saturnia, the city of
Saturn.
The reader cannot have forgotten the lines of Virgil, which showed
that Lateinos, to whom the Romans or Latin race traced back their
lineage, was represented with a glory around his head, to show that
he was a child of the Sun. Thus, then, it is evident that, in popular
opinion, the original Lateinos had occupied the very same position
as Saturn did in the Mysteries, who was equally worshipped as the
offspring of the Sun. Moreover, it is evident that the Romans knew
that the name Lateinos signifies the Hidden One, for their
antiquarians invariably affirm that Latium received its name from
Saturn lying hid there. On etymological grounds, then, even on the
testimony of the Romans, Lateinos is equivalent to the Hidden
One; that is, to Saturn, the god of Mystery. *
Number of a man
Saturn, the hidden god,the god of the Mysteries, whom the Pope
represents, whose secrets were revealed only to the initiated,was
identical with Janusclick here , who was publicly known to all Rome,
to the uninitiated and initiated alike, as the grand Mediator, the
opener and the shutter, who had the key of the invisible world. Now,
what means the name Janus? That name, as Cornificius in Macrobius
shows, was properly Eanus; and in ancient Chaldee, E-anush
signifies the Man. By that very name was the Babylonian beast
from the sea called, when it first made its appearance. *
* The name, as given in Greek by Berosus, is O-annes; but this is
just the very way we might expect He-anesth, the man, to
appear in Greek. He-siri, in Greek, becomes Osiris; and He-
sarsiphon, Osarsiphon; and, in like manner, He-anesh naturally
becomes Oannes. In the sense of a Man-god, the name Oannes is
taken by Barker (Lares and Penates). We find the conversion of the
H into O among our own immediate neighbours, the Irish; what is
now OBrien and OConnell was originally HBrien and HConnell
(Sketches of Irish History).

Titans
It was long ago noticed by Irenaeus, about the end of the second
century, that the name Teitan contained the Mystic number
666; and he gave it as his opinion that Teitan was by far the most
probable name of the beast from the sea. *
* IRENAEUS. Though the name Teitan was originally derived from
Chaldee, yet it became thoroughly naturalised in the Greek
language. Therefore, to give the more abundant evidence on this
important subject, the Spirit of God seems to have ordered it, that
the number of Teitan should be found according to the Greek
computation, while that of Satur is found by the Chaldee.
Now, on inquiry, it will actually be found, that while Saturn was the
name of the visible head, Teitan was the name of the invisible head
of the beast. Teitan is just the Chaldean form of Sheitan, * the very
name by which Satan has been called from time immemorial by the
Devil-worshippers of Kurdistan; and from Armenia or Kurdistan, this
Devil-worship embodied in the Chaldean Mysteries came westward
to Asia Minor, and thence to Etruria and Rome.
The learned reader has no need of examples in proof of this frequent
Chaldean transformation of the Sh or S into T; but for the common
reader, the following may be adduced: Hebrew, Shekel, to weigh,
becomes Tekel in Chaldee; Hebrew, Shabar, to breakChaldee,
Tabar; Hebrew, SeraphimChaldee, Teraphim, the Babylonian

That Teitan was actually known by the classic nations of antiquity to
be Satan, or the spirit of wickedness, and originator of moral evil, we
have the following proofs: The history of Teitan and his brethren, as
given in Homer and Hesiod, the two earliest of all the Greek writers,
although later legends are obviously mixed up with it, is evidently
the exact counterpart of the Scriptural account of Satan and his
angels. Homer says, that all the gods of Tartarus, or Hell, were
called Teitans. Hesiod tells us how these Teitans, or gods of hell,
came to have their dwelling there. The chief of them having
committed a certain act of wickedness against his father, the
supreme god of heaven, with the sympathy of many others of the
sons of heaven, that father called them all by an opprobrious
name, Teitans, pronounced a curse upon them, and then, in
consequence of that curse, they were cast down to hell, and
bound in chains of darkness in the abyss. While this is the earliest
account of Teitan and his followers among the Greeks, we find that,
in the Chaldean system, Teitan was just a synonym for Typhon, the
malignant Serpent or Dragon, who was universally regarded as the
Devil, or author of all wickedness. It was Typhon, according to the
Pagan version of the story, that killed Tammuz, and cut him in
pieces; but Lactantius, who was thoroughly acquainted with the
subject, upbraids his Pagan countrymen for worshipping a child
torn in pieces by the Teitans. It is undeniable, then, that Teitan, in
Pagan belief, was identical with the Dragon, or Satan.

Counterfeit sign of the true Messiah
The Hexagram or six-pointed star, is a potent symbol of the
interaction of the Divine with the mortal, of God with Humankind. It
has particular significance in Judaism as the Star of David.
The Star of David, or magen David (Shield of David), is a strong
symbol of Jewish identity, and as ahexagram it represents the
interaction of the Divine with the mortal*. It gets its name from
the tradition that David carried a hexagram-shaped shield during his
defeat of the giant Goliath. It has strong links with the Kabbalah,
and is sometimes known as the Seal of Solomon or the Creators
Star. When the Star of David is called the Creators Star, the six
points each represents a day of the week and the center
corresponds to the Sabbath.
*The Hexagram is a picture of the god-man. The beast.
Some assign a benign origin to the hexagram symbol by saying it is
two dalets combined together from the ancient Hebrew name of
David.
David in Ancient Hebrew is:
These letters are explained as thus:
The meaning of the dalet is door, the meaning of the vav is nail.
The meaning of this symbol when it is combined is the door to
heaven and the door to earth is combined by the Messiah who
comes to rule the earth as the king of mankind with a rod of iron,
just as David did.
Notice the as above, so below theme. Truly, Messiah Yahshua was
Elohim in the fleshthis is why the adversary seeks to bring about a
counterfeit that will be part god/elohim part man. The beast will
be part fallen angelclick here.

Rav Nachman asked R. Yitzchak: Have you heard when Bar Nafli
(Son of the Fallen One) will come? He said to him: Who is Bar Nafli?
He said to him: Mashiach. Do you call Mashiach Bar Nafli? He
answered him: Yes, for it is written, On that day I will establish the
sukkah of David that is fallen.

Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi meets Elijah the Prophet and asks, When
will Mashiach come?
Elijah responds, Why are you asking me? You can ask Mashiach
himself.
Really?! Where can I find Mashiach?
Elijah tells him, Go to the gates of Rome and there youll find him.

The awaited Messiah of Rabbinic Judaism is represented by the
number 666.
http://ohr.edu/ask_db/ask_main.php/277/Q1/
The number 666 has significance as the numerical value of the
Hebrew verse: Ata yigdal na koach Ado-nai Now, I pray, let the
Power of my Lord be great. (Numbers 14:17). This was Moshes
prayer invoking Divine Mercy on behalf of the Jewish People.
Mosad Hayesod cites the Vilna Gaons commentary on the
Zohar that the number 666 contains hidden within it
exalted and lofty messianic potential. No other explanation is
offered there.
We do know that the number six represents the physical world. The
Torah describes the creation of the universe as a six part, six day,
process. Our ancient sources describe the universe as emanating in
six directions north, south, east, west, up, down from a central
point. All physical space and all physical objects have these six
dimensions.
666 is six repeated three times. Repeating a concept three times
represents the affirmation and strength of that concept. The
number 666 could thus represent the strength and
perfection of the physical world, which Judaism teaches will
occur in the messianic era, when the physical world will
reach its ultimate purpose, to be a vehicle through which
the created experience the Creator.

Saturn & the Antichrist Kingdom
The term Novus Ordo Seclorum, A New Order of the Ages, was
adapted by Charles Thomson in 1782 who, while designing the
Great Seal of the United States, was inspired by a line in Virgils
Ecologue IV from the first century:
Now the last age by Cumae Sibyl has come and gone,
And the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew:
Justice returns, old Saturns reign
With a new breed of men sent down from heaven.
On do thou, at the boys birth in whom
The iron shall cease, the golden race arise,
Befriend him, chaste Lucina: this thine own Apollo reigns.
He shall receive the life of gods,
And see Heroes and gods commingling,
And himself be seen of them,
And with his fathers worth.
Quoted on page 391 The Secret Architecture of our Nations Capital
David Ovason
Now the Virgin returns, the Saturnian reigns return:
Now a new Offspring is sent down from high heaven.
O chaste Lucina favour the Boy now being born, with whom the
iron race Shall end and a golden arise in all the world
Saturday The 7th day of the week, the Biblical Sabbath is a picture of the
Kingdom of Heavenclick here why was it named Saturday? It was
after the false god Saturn to represent the false kingdom of the
golden age of Saturn.
It was named no later than the second century for the planet
(Saturn), which controlled the first hour of that day according to
Vettius Valens. The planet was named for the Roman god of
agriculture Saturn. It has been called dies Saturni (Saturns Day),
through which from it entered into Old English as Sternesdg and
gradually evolved into the word Saturday.
Counterfeit kingdom
The Scriptures speak of when the Messiah returns and establishes
His kingdom, the earth will be restored to its original state (Garden
of Eden)
Isa 51:3 For YHWH comforts Zion. He comforts all her
desolations, and He makes her wilderness like Eden, and her
desert like the garden of YHWH; joy and gladness shall be
found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of singing praise.
Eze 36:33 So says the Lord YHWH: In the day I cleanse you
from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be
inhabited, and the wastes shall be built.
Eze 36:34 And the desolated land shall be cultivated, rather
than being a ruin in the eyes of all passing by.
Eze 36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolated
has become like the garden of Eden. And the wasted and
desolated and razed cities are fortified and inhabited.
Eze 36:36 And the nations left all around you shall know
that I, YHWH, built the razed places and planted that which
was desolated. I, YHWH have spoken it and will do it.
The adversary will counterfeit this paradise state. When the day of
YHWH comes, it comes upon a time of a counterfeit Eden (paradise).
Joe 2:1 Blow a rams horn in Zion, and shout an alarm in My
holy mountain. Let all those living in the land tremble. For
the day of YHWH approaches; it is near,
Joe 2:2 a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds
and thick darkness, as the dawn spread out on the
mountains, a great and a strong people. There has never
been the like, nor shall there ever be again to the years of
many generations;
Joe 2:3 a fire devours before it, and a flame burns behind it.
The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind
them is a desolate wilderness; yea, also there is no escape
to them.
Sodom and Gomorrah likened to the Garden of Eden
Gen 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the circuit
of Jordan, that it was well-watered before YHWH destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah, even like the garden of YHWH, like
the land of Egypt as you come to Zoar.
What is the land of Israel called in the end times?
Rev 11:8 And their bodies will be on the street of the great
city, which spiritually is called Sodom, and Egypt, where our
Lord was crucified.
Gen 13:10 also likens this false Eden to Egypt. This is where Yisrael
was in bondage and slavery before deliverance. So too in the end
there will be slavery and bondage as the prophets speak of the
Exodus in the end being likened to the Egyptian exodus (Micah 7:15;
Jeremiah 16:14-21).
After the counterfeit dividing of the land, the fallen angels and false
Israel will enslave the goyim as a counterfeit fulfillment of the
Kingdom of Heaven where Yahshua rules as king and His kings and
priests rule the earth with a rod of iron (Revelation 2:26-27; 12:5;
Daniel 2:44) .
Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them
down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with
them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom
they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Joe 3:3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have
given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they
might drink.
Isa 14:2 And the peoples shall take them and bring them to
their own place. And the house of Israel shall possess them
in the land of YHWH for slaves and slave girls. And they
shall be captives of their captors; and they shall rule over
their oppressors.
Isa 14:24 YHWH of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have
thought, so it shall be; and as I have purposed, it shall rise
up;
Isa 14:25 to break Assyria in My land, and trample him on
My mountains. Then his yoke shall depart from them, and
his burden shall depart from his shoulders.
Isa 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed on all the
earth; and this the hand that is stretched out on all the
nations.
Saturnalia
click here
This concept of the false kingdom is seen in the festival of Saturnalia
which has been passed down to us today as Christmas.
In memory of the Golden Age of man, a mythical age when Saturn
was said to have ruled, a great feast called Saturnalia was held
during the winter months around the time of the winter solstice.
In Babylon he was called Ninib and was an agricultural deity. Saturn,
called Cronus by the Greeks, was, at the dawn of the Ages of the
Gods, the Protector and Sower of the Seed and his wife, Ops, (called
Rhea by the Greeks) was a Harvest Helper.
In memory of the Golden Age, when Saturn reigned in Italy, the
great feast of Saturnalia was held every year during the winter. The
idea of it was that the Golden Age returned to the earth during the
days it lasted.
Two Babylons pg 95
It was no mere astronomic festival, then, that the Pagans celebrated
at the winter solstice. That festival at Rome was called the
feast of Saturn, and the mode in which it was celebrated there,
showed whence it had been derived. The feast, as regulated by
Caligula, lasted five days; * loose reins were given to
drunkenness and revelry, slaves had a temporary
emancipation, ** and used all manner of freedoms with their
masters. {Exactly the same as the feast of Bacchus seen above
that Antiochus forced Yisrael into doing}
* Subsequently the number of the days of the Saturnalia was
increased to seven.
** If Saturn, or Kronos, was, as we have seen reason to believe,
Phoroneus, The
emancipator, the temporary emancipation of the slaves at his
festival was
exactly in keeping with his supposed character.
This is important to note. This is a counterfeit of the Jubilee of the
Scriptures. The Jubilee was sounded at Yom Kippur and Sukkot
which follows 5 days later is a picture of dwelling/tabernacling with
the Messiah when He returns. According to the book of Maccabees,
Hanukkah is just a replay of Sukkot (2Maccabees 1:9). So we see
two opposing feasts which represent two opposing marks.
Hanukkah which is a 2nd Sukkot where the Temple (body) is
rededicated (resurrection) at the coming of the Messiah or
Christmas which is a rehearsal of the coming of the antichrist where
the Temple (body) is defiled (mark of beast).
Atlantis

The Beast government of Revelation has many connections to the
myths about Atlantis. Looking at the myths about Atlantis leads
one back to the Golden Age of Saturn before the flood.
Rev 13:1 And I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a
beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns, and on his horns ten diadems, and on its heads
names of blasphemy.
Rev 11:7 And when they complete their witness, the beast
coming up out of the abyss will make war with them, and
will overcome them, and will kill them.
Atlantis: The Antediluvian World Ignatius Donnelly
We have seen Chronos identified with the Atlantic, called by the
Romans the Chronian Sea. He was known to the Romans under the
name of Saturn, and ruled over a great Saturnian continent in the
Western ocean.
Atlantis divided into 10
Rev 13:1 And I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a
beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns, and on his horns ten diadems, and on its heads
names of blasphemy.
Point for point the story of Atlantis matches with Moses and Enochs
accounts of the antediluvian world, and how divine beings had
intermarried with humans, giving birth to semi-divine giants.
Poseidon is said here to have married a human woman, and her
name is even given: Cleito. Cleito bore him 10 sons, and he
arranged and populated the island of Atlantis with such florae and
faunae that their every need was met.
He also begat and brought up five pairs of twin male children; and
dividing the island of Atlantis into ten portions, he gave to the firstborn of the eldest pair his mothers dwelling and the surrounding
allotment, which was the largest and best, and made him king over
the rest; the others he made princes, and gave them rule over many
men, and a large territory. And he named them all; the eldest, who
was the first king, he named Atlas, and after him the whole island
and the ocean were called Atlantic. To his twin brother, who was
born after him, and obtained as his lot the extremity of the island
towards the Pillars of Heracles, facing the country which is now
called the region of Gades in that part of the world, he gave the
name which in the Hellenic language is Eumelus, in the language of
the country which is named after him, Gadeirus. Of the second pair
of twins he called one Ampheres, and the other Evaemon. To the
elder of the third pair of twins he gave the name Mneseus, and
Autochthon to the one who followed him. Of the fourth pair of twins
he called the elder Elasippus, and the younger Mestor. And of the
fifth pair he gave to the elder the name of Azaes, and to the
younger that of Diaprepes. All these and their descendants for many
generations were the inhabitants and rulers of divers islands in the
open sea; and also, as has been already said, they held sway in our
direction over the country within the Pillars as far as Egypt and
Tyrrhenia.
Atlas, in the Greek myths, was actually a titan, one of the original
deities who ruled over Earth before the Olympic gods (Zeus, Hera,
Poseidon, etc.) overthrew them and took supremacy over Earth. The
titans of the Greek myths were giants of great stature that
ruled over a golden age of mankind: The Golden Age of
mankind lived during the rule of Kronos and the Titanes.
This race of man was created by Prometheus and lived in
peace and harmony, blessed with the fruits of the earth
which grew freely in a garden of Eden-like
paradise. However, all was not well in Paradise, as the titans did
not share their power freely: The Titanes were jealous of their
privileges and refused to devolve any power to the younger
generations of gods. Zeus led these in rebellion and after a violent
ten year war the Titanes were overthrown and cast into Tartaros.
Tartaros is the Greek word for hell or abyss, the same place
where the archangels threw the fallen angels after they had
intermarried with women and brought such violence and corruption
to Earth. (1 Enoch 10:1-16, cf. also 2 Peter 2:5)
So Platos account of Atlantis so far matches Moses and Enochs
descriptions of the antediluvian world point for point: divine beings
were given rule over various parts of Earth, and they intermarried
with human females, who gave birth to giants. Up to this point,
however, the account is different on one important point. In the
Critias, Atlantis was a place of earthly paradise, set up by Poseidon
to be an ideal place for his progeny to live. However, at the end of
the narrative, Platos account of the rise of Atlantis then turns to its
fall, and our next point of collusion is matched perfectly:
For many generations, as long as the divine nature lasted in them,
they were obedient to the laws, and well-affectioned towards the
god, whose seed they were; for they possessed true and in every
way great spirits, uniting gentleness with wisdom in the various
chances of life, and in their intercourse with one another. They
despised everything but virtue, caring little for their present state of
life, and thinking lightly of the possession of gold and other
property, which seemed only a burden to them; neither were they
intoxicated by luxury; nor did wealth deprive them of their selfcontrol; but they were sober, and saw clearly that all these goods
are increased by virtue and friendship with one another, whereas by
too great regard and respect for them, they are lost and friendship
with them. By such reflections and by the continuance in them of a
divine nature, the qualities which we have described grew and
increased among them; but when the divine portion began to fade
away, and became diluted too often and too much with the mortal
admixture, and the human nature got the upper hand, they then,
being unable to bear their fortune, behaved unseemly, and to him
who had an eye to see grew visibly debased, for they were losing
the fairest of their precious gifts; but to those who had no eye to see
the true happiness, they appeared glorious and blessed at the very
time when they were full of avarice and unrighteous power.
Just like the Nephilim, the titans grew more and more abased as
they continued to intermarry with humans, becoming twisted,
abhorrent travesties of their formerly glorious selves. Just as good
as they were in the beginning, they became irretrievably evil, with
an unbridled lust for power and wealth that led to a mighty thirst for
conquest. The gods of Atlantis wished to extend their power
beyond their divinely mandated boundaries, and thus risked the
judgment of God. Their decision to wage war on Europe and Asia in
order to dominate the world, causing great corruption and disorder
in the process, was an indicator that these deities had gone too far
and were in need of chastisement. The final point of collusion in the
two accounts, the biblical and the Platonic, now comes to the fore,
as Zeus, leader of the Greek gods, convenes a council in heaven and
decides to punish the Atlanteans for their unbridled hubris.
An allusion to the kingdom of Atlantis can be seen in the book of
Ezekiel when the prophet is speaking of the prince and king of Tyre.
Eze 28:2 Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, So says the
Lord YHWH, Because your heart is lifted up, and you have
said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, in the heart of the
seas; yet you are a man, and not God, though you give your
heart as the heart of gods.
Eze 28:3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel. Every one of
the secret things are not hidden to you.
Eze 28:4 With your wisdom and with your understanding
you have made riches for yourself, and have worked gold
and silver into your treasuries.
Eze 28:5 By your great wisdom, by your trade you have
multiplied your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of
your riches.
Eze 28:6 So the Lord YHWH says this: Because you have
given your heart as the heart of gods,
Eze 28:7 behold, so I will bring on you awesome strangers
of the nations. And they shall draw their swords against the
beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.
Eze 28:8 They will cause you to go down to the Pit, and you
shall die the deaths of the slain in the heart of the seas.
Eze 28:9 Saying, do you say, I am of the gods before him
who strikes you? But you are a man, and not God, in the
hands of him who pierces you.
Eze 28:10 You shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by
the hand of strangers. For I have spoken, says the Lord
YHWH.
Eze 28:11 And the Word of YHWH was to me, saying,
Eze 28:12 Son of man, lift up a lament over the king of Tyre,
and say to him, So says the Lord YHWH: You seal the
measure, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
Eze 28:13 You have been in Eden, the garden of God. Every
precious stone was your covering; the ruby, the topaz, and
the jasper, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire,
the turquoise, and the carbuncle, and gold; the
workmanship of your tambourines and of your flutes in you.
In the day you were created, they were prepared.
Eze 28:14 You were the anointed cherub that covers, and I
had put you in the holy heights of God, where you were. You
walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you
were created, until iniquity was found in you.
Eze 28:16 By the multitude of your trade, they filled your
midst with violence, and you sinned. So I cast you defiled
from the height of God, and I destroyed you, O covering
cherub, from among the stones of fire.
Eze 28:17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. I have
cast you to the ground. I will put you before kings, that they
may see you.
Eze 28:18 By the host of your iniquities, by the iniquity of
your trade, you have defiled your holy places. So I brought a
fire from your midst and it shall devour you, and I will give
you for ashes on the earth in the sight of all who see you.
Eze 28:19 All who know you among the peoples shall be
appalled at you. You shall be terrors, and you will not be
forever.

The New Atlantis
Secret Destiny of America Manly P Hall
Chapter 11. The Objective of the Secret Society
One reference to a secret society in Bacons New Atlantis is scarcely
less than a proclamation of the Society of Unknown philosophers,
but has gone unnoticed for three hundred years.
This fable is of the land of Bensalem, meaning the Son of
Peace, which with its merchandise,
the Light of Truth, maintained a trade with Atlantis, which was
declared to be the same
as America. Every thing indicates that it was Sir Francis Bacons
dream
that the enlarging of the bounds of human empire should be
instituted on our own continent,
an area peculiarly set aside by Nature for the perfection of
philosophy and the sciences.
The New Atlantis was first published in 1627, as a kind of appendix
to the Sylva Sylvarum, a natural history in ten centuries. On the
title page is a curious design. It shows the figure of an ancient
creature representing Time drawing a female figure from a dark
cavern. The meaning is obvious: Through time, the hidden truth
shall be revealed. This figure is one of the most famous of the seals
or symbols of the Order of the Quest. Contained within it is the
whole promise of the resurrection of man, and the restitution
of the divine theology.
Rawley writes in his introduction to Bacons the New Atlantis, This
fable My Lord devised, to the end that he might exhibit therein, a
model or description of a college, instituted for the interpreting of
nature, and the producing of great and marvelous works, for
the benefit of men; under the name of Solomons house, or
the college of the six days work.
The college of the six days work is, of course, a thinly veiled
reference to the perfection of nature through art. The six days are
the days of creation by which the natural world was brought into
existence, according to the account given in Genesis. As God
created the Universe in six symbolic days, so man by art
that is, philosophymust create the condition of his own
perfection by means of six philosophical steps.
The name of the land in which stood the Wise Mans City
was Bensalem; this means the Son of Peace. Bensalem
maintained a trade with all parts of the world, but not for gold,
silver, jewels, silks, spices, nor any other material commodity; its
merchandise was the Light of Truth. Among the nations traded
with was Atlantis, which was declared to be the same as
America.
Religion, science, and philosophy are the three parts of essential
learning. A government based upon one or even two of these parts
must ultimately degenerate into a tyranny, either of men or
opinion. These three realize the unity of knowledge; they are the
orders of the QuestThe supreme human purpose is the
perfection of man. This must come first, and when this end has
been achieved all good things will inevitably follow.These three
[religion, science, philosophy], then, are the orders of the
Quest. Together they can bring about the perfection of man
through the discovery of the Plan for man..One of the great
secrets of antiquity was this realization of the unity of knowledge
and the identity of the Quest in all the branches of learning. The
great philosophers of the past were truly great because they
approached the problem of life as priest-philosopher-scientist. The
title The Wise is properly applied only to those in whose
consciousness the unity of knowledge has been established as the
pattern of the Quest.
It was part of the ancient plan that has descended to us to build
again the ideal universitythe college of the six days work. Here
would be taught the same arts and sciences that we teach today,
but from a different basic premise. Here men would learn that the
sciences are as sacred as the theologies, and the philosophies are
as practical as the crafts and trades. Those mystical extra-sensory
perceptions viewed with suspicion by the materialist would then be
developed according to the disciplines of the sciences, and all
learning would be consecrated to the supreme end that men
become as the gods, knowing good and evil
David Ovason writes in regards to the truncated pyramid and all
seeing eye on the dollar bill:
Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capital pg 235
This invisible symbolism recalls one important strain of arcane
symbolism within Masonry itself, which maintains that the present
era is that during which the Temple of Solomon is being rebuilt. At
the completion of this Temple, the present era will come to an end,
and be succeeded by a more splendid spiritual era.
The Weeping Virgin
The weeping Virgin is portrayed with Saturn which portrays in
symbology the resurrection of man or the new temple.
Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capital pg 186
the celestial version of this Beautiful Virgin was the Virgin whom
the Masons used in their mystery symbols of Washington D.C., the
city of Virgo. The important point is this: in some way, the Masonic
fraternities of the United States have visualized their federal city as
the founding stone not merely for the United States, but of the
Fourth Ear, which will see the rebuilding, on the inner plane, of
the Temple of Solomon.Such imagery reflects the Masonic
appreciate of the arcane significance of Virgo. It is in this pregnant
myth of the Beautiful Virgin that we begin to see something of the
arcane importance of the Virgo image to Washington, D.C. The
image points by inference to the unfinished Temple of Solomon,
that most enduring of Masonic symbols. This means that the
Weeping Virgin symbolizes, in a feminine personification, a
lamentation at the unfinished pyramid on the Seal of the
United States, and on every dollar bill.The pyramid is
incomplete because it is the Egyptian Mystery equivalent of the
Temple of Solomon. Virgo is the star goddess weeping that so
remarkable an endeavor still remains unfinished.
Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capital pg 184
It seems then, that the Beautiful Virgin is a representation of the
Virgin of the skies, the celestial Virgo, and that in certain Masonic
contexts she is represented as weeping. The link between Virgo and
Isis is nowhere more openly revealed than in this idea, for Isis was
herself on of the two weeping sisters. In some Masonic accounts,
she is said to be weeping because she symbolizes the unfinished
Temple that is, the Temple of Solomon from which some Masonic
fraternities still date the passage of the years. Since the Masonic
symbolism sees the building of the external Temple as
representative of the building of the internal temple of spirit, it
seems that the Virgin weeps either for the imperfections still in
mankind or because the Temple is not yet finished.

Such imagery reflects the Masonic appreciation of the arcane
significance of Virgo. It is in this pregnant myth of the Beautiful

The cabbalistic design of the great seal of the United States is seen
with intimate connection to the Queen of Heavenclick
here (Ashtoreth the wife of Saturn).
Notice the link between the pentagram and hexagram above the
head of the eagle as seen above, both are linked to the seal of
Solomon. E Pluribus Unum refers back to the Bacchic rites of the
awakening of man where the resurrected Bacchus is seen as the
flaming Sun which is seen above the head of the eagle which in
reality is the Phoenix.

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of
gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some
legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which
it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird
burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young
phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new
phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the
new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of
myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in
Greek).
Barbara Walker Now Is The Dawning , p. 281
Egyptians believed that the Phoenix was the representative of a
god who rose to heaven in the form of a morning star, like Lucifer,
after his fire-immolation of death and rebirth
William Schnoebelen, in his book, Satans Door Revisited , p. 4.
The Phoenix, of Bunnu is believed to be a divine bird going back to
Egypt This Phoenix destroys itself in flames and then rises from
the ashes. Most occultists believe that the Phoenix is a symbol of
Lucifer who was cast down in flames and who will one day rise
triumphant. This [belief] also relates to the raising of Hiram Abiff,
the Masonic christ.
Venus & the Phoenix
Apart from its brightness, the most distinctive feature of Venus is its
cycle as a morning star and evening star. Accordingly, the
Egyptians symbolized Venus as the Bennu, a heron-like bird
commonly equated with the phoenix. Venus represents
Lucifer, the morning star.
Notice on the head of the eagle the little tuft of feathers on the
back of the headthis is not on an eagle but was placed there to
allude to the phoenix.
Serpent Goddess
Children of the Matrix pg 146
The serpent goddess is known under countless names around the
world, including Diana, Artemis, Semiramis, Barit, Britannia, Hecate,
Rhea, Persephone (First Serpent) and so on. These same names
have also been used to symbolise esoteric concepts like the phases
of the Moon and female energy, but at its foundation this goddess
worship of the Illuminati would seem to relate to the DNA
transmitted through the female andpossibly originating in the
constellation of Orion.this DNA source symbolised in various
cultures as the Dragon Queens, the Orion Queen or Queens, and the
Snake Mother. Artemis is depicted with eggs all over her chest and
she is associated with bees. One of the prime symbols of the
Merovingian bloodline, so connected to Artemis/Diana worship, is
the bee and the hive.
Children of the Matrix pg 147
Sir Laurence Gardner is a spokesman for the Imperial Royal Dragon
Court an Order that represents the interests of the Dragon
bloodlines seeded by the DNA of the Dragon Queens. He says that
this symbolism and the theme of the Dragon Queens goes back to
the founding mother of the Annunaki he calls Tiamat, the Seadragon in Mesopotamian accounts. These queens, he suggests,
were commonly represented as mermaids and were called Ladies of
the Lake. Throughout the lands settled by former Atlantean-
Lemurian peoples you find the worship of the serpent goddess
and her serpent son, who is often symbolised as a bull.
Caesar
Julius Caesar descendant of the Queen of Heaven
Rulers of Evil Tupper Saussy pg 214-15
The land of the Pyramid, Egypt, is where Caesarean Rome was
inaugurated. By Caesarean I mean the empire whose head
commands ontonly affairs of state but those of religion as well.
Caesarean Rome officially began in Alexandria, Egypt, at the temple
of Jupiter, on the winter solstice- December 25 in the year 48 BC,
when a fifty-two-year-old priest of Jupiter was declared to be
Jupiters incarnation, thus Son of God. His name was Caius of the
family of Marius, Caius Maria. After deification, and occasionally
before, Caius Maria was referred to as Caesar, a cabalism formed
by the letter C (for Caius) attached to Aesar, the Etruscan word
for God. The God Caius. According to Scottish theologian
Alexander Hislop, Caesar consented to deification in order to inherit
the huge kingdom of Pergamum. Consisting of most of Asia Minor
(present day Turkey), Pergamum was bequeathed to the Roman
people in 133 BC by its king, Attalus III. But there was a catch: the
people of Rome had to regard their leader as God.
The Pergamenian kings had begun ruling as God when the
title Pontifex Maximus fled the fall of Babylon in 539 BC. In that
eventful year, Persian invaders assassinated the Babylonian king
Belshazzar. Just moments prior, Belshazzar had seen his
assassination prophesied by the famous handwriting on the wall:
Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin, (The Numberer is numbered). Ruling
as God by divine appointment, Belshazzar had profaned the sacred
vessels of the Israelite temple. This was the unpardonable sin of
blasphemy, for which God sent the Persian to destroy him.
Belshazzars priests were evidently spared. Rather than submit to
the Persian conquerors, they furtively gathered together all their
portable treasures, entitlements, codes, inscriptions, astrology,
sacred formulae, and insignia and fled with them northwesterly to
Pergamum.Pergamum, became the new residence ofPontifex
Maximus.
Rulers of Evil Pg 216
Deification entitled Caesar now to assume the title Pontifex
Maximus. To indicate his infinitely holier status, he took the
name Julius. The name was a claim of descent from Julius
Ascanius, the legendary son of legendary Aeneas, Virgils
maritime hero who sailed westward with a band of his Trojan fellow
countrymen fleeing the sack of Troy by Greek marauders. Assisted
by the whole heavenly network of mythic deitices, Aeneas led his
followers to sacrifice their individuality for a glorious collective
existence that would one day be called Rome.
Aeneas was considered the offspring of a union between a
human being, Anchises, and Jupiters wife VenusBy taking
the name of Aeneas son Julius and claiming descent from
him as well, Caesar was able to trace his lineage back to the
Queen of Heaven*. The divine lineage supposedly flowed through
his mother, Maia, who was purported to have conceived him without
losing her virginity. Maia also claimed to have remained a virgin
even in child birth by having her son delivered from the side in a
surgical operation that still bears Caesars name.
*According to David Icke, Philip Eugene de Rothschild told him that
the Aeneas bloodline became the Bauer- Rothschilds and the
Battenbergs. This is the Merovingian bloodline and the Hapsburgs.
Rulers of Evil Tupper Saussy pg 219-220
Six hundred years after Isaiah {Isaiah 7:14; 9:6}, Virgil solemnly
announced in the Fourth Eclogue that the Prince of Peace would be
produced by the unrolling of a New World Order (NOVUS ORDER
SECLORUM):
Now returns the Golden Age of Saturn, now appears the Immaculate
Virgin. Now descends from heaven a divine Nativity. O! Chaste
Lucina, speed the Mothers pains, haste the glorious Birth, and
usher in the reign of thy Apollo. thy consulship, O Pollio, shall lead
this glorious Advent, and the new world order shall then begin to
roll. Thenceforth whatever vestige of Original Sin remains, shall be
swept away from earth forever, and the Son of God shall be the
Prince of Peace!
Secret Architecture of our Nations Capital David Ovason pg 391
Now the Virgin returns, the Saturnian reign return:
Now a new Offspring is sent down from high heaven.
O Chaste Lucina favour the Boy now being born, with whom the iron
race
Shall end and a golden arise in all the world
Rulers of Evil pg 221
When Octavian reached the age of twelve, great-uncle Caius
became his legal father through adoption. Three years later, in
Octavians fifteenth year, his adoptive father was deified as Julius
Caesar, Pontifex Maximus. Thats when the propagandists of
Maecenas got busy promoting the Sons divine originsabout how
he had been conceived on December 25 by Apollo, who came in
serpent form and impregnated the virgin Atia Maria as she lay
sleeping on the floor of the Apollonian templeThe propaganda
circulated the story of how the great astrologer Theogenes, when
told Octavians birth sign (Capricorn), rose and flung himself at the
lads feet. Theogenes knew the astrological ruler of Capricorn was
Saturn, whose second Golden Age was at hand Saturn, the
celestio-mythical Father-God of Rome and father of Jupiter.
Octavian, as the incarnation of Jupiter, would be ruled by Saturn, the
most ditatorial house in the zodiacIn 28 BC, twelve years after the
publication of the Fourth Eclogue, Octavian entered Rome
triumphantly as the Prince of Peace. Like Julius had done,
the new Pontifex Maximus received a new and holier name,
Caesar Augustus. And like Julius, he was hailed as Son of
God.
Rulers of Evil pg 222 quoting The Worship of Augustus Caesar
(1899)
Augustus wore on his head a pontifical mitre surmounted by a Latin
crossThe images of Augustus upon the coins of his own mintage,
or that of his vassals, are surrounded with the halo of light which
indicates divinity, and on the reverse of the coins are displayed the
various emblems of religion, such as the mitre, cross, crook, fishes,
labarum, and the Buddhic or Bacchic or Dionysian monogram of PX
(Greek Chir-rho)The Augustan writers furnished material showing
that his Incarnation was the issue of a divine father and mortal
mothers
The symbols on the Great Seal of the United States show from
whence its government is derived. From Pagan Rome which was to
be a new Golden Age of Saturn, passed down through Roman
Catholicism to the New Atlantis, Americaclick here.
Days of Noah
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noah, so also will be the
coming of the Son of Man.
Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will
be in the days of the Son of Man.
Luk 17:27 They were eating, drinking, marrying, giving in
marriage, until the day Noah went into the ark. And the
flood came and destroyed all.
Luk 17:28 And likewise, as it was in the days of Lot, they
were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
Luk 17:29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, it
rained fire and brimstone from the heaven and destroyed
all.
Luk 17:30 According to those things, it will be in the day
the Son of Man is revealed.
The above Scriptures indicate that the world system is going to
continue up until the day Messiah returns and it will all come to an
end in the blink of an eye.
The above Scriptures also indicate that the days of Noah, the days
of Lot are the main reference points to understanding the times
before the return of the Messiah through the Scriptures. The other
main reference to look at is the Egyptian Exodus (Mic 7:15; Jer
16:14; 23:7).
Jude connects the days of Noah and the days of Lot via the fallen
angels.
Jud 1:6 And those angels not having kept their first place,
but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in
everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a
great Day;
Jud 1:7 as (Aramaic just asconnecting sins of angels with
Sodom an Gomorroah) Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities
around them, in like manner to these, committing
fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an
example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting
fire.
The Rephaim are connected to Saturn
John Gill commentary on Amos 5:26
the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves; or the star your
god (q); meaning the same with Chiun or Saturn; perhaps the same
with the star that fell from the air or sky, mentioned by
Sanchoniatho (r); which Astarte, the wife of Chronus or Saturn, is
said to take and consecrate in Tyre; this they made for themselves,
and worshipped as a deity. The Targum is,
ye have borne the tabernacle of your priests, Chiun your image,
the star your God, which ye have made to yourselves.
It may be further observed, for the confirmation and illustration of
what has been said concerning Chiun, that the Egyptian Anubis,
which Plutarch (x) says is the same with Saturn, is called by him
Kyon, which seems to be no other than this word Chiun: and
whereas Stephen calls it Rephan, this is not a corruption of the word,
reading Rephan or Revan for Chevan; nor has he respect to Rimmon,
the god of the Syrians, but it is the Egyptian name for Saturn; which
the Septuagint interpreters might choose to make use of, they
interpreting for the king of Egypt: and Diodorus Siculus (y) makes
mention of an Egyptian king called Remphis, whom Braunius (z) t
akes to be this very Chiun; see Act_7:43; but Rephas, or Rephan,
was the same with Chronus, or Saturn, from whence came the
Rephaim (a), who dwelt in Ashtaroth Karnaim, a town of
Ham or Chronus; see Gen_14:5.
Corruption of the earth
Rev 11:18 And the nations were full of wrath; and Your wrath came,
and the time of the judging of the dead, and to give the reward to
Your slaves, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to the ones
fearing Your name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy
those destroying the earth.
Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was
corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
The book of Jasher defines this corruption as mixing of genetics
Jasher 4
18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and
took their wives by force from their husbands according to their
choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of
the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air,
and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the
other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw
the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had
corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
This will happen in the end as well
Deu 31:29 For I know that after my death you shall
utterly corrupt (shachat shachat) yourselves, and will turn aside
from the way which I have commanded you. And evil shall happen
to you in the latter end of the days because you shall do evil in the
eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.
Genesis Rabbah 28:8
Rabbi Azaryah said in Rabbi Yhudahs name, All acted corruptly in
the generation of the Flood; the dog had intercourse with the wolf,
and the fowl with the peacock; hence it is written, for all (flesh) on
the earth had corrupted their way (Gen 6:12). Rabbi Julian ben
Tiberius said in Rabbi Yitzchaks name, Even the earth debauched
itself; wheat was sown and it produced zunim, for the zunim we find
now came from the age of the Flood.
Enoch 9:10 Restore the earth, which the angels have corrupted; and
announce life to it, that I may revive it.
Enoch 10:6 Uriel is told to heal the earth which the angels have
corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal
the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through
all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have
taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through
the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.
Testament of Reuben 5
Therefore flee fornication, my children, and command your wives
and your daughters that they adorn not their heads and their faces;
because every woman who acteth deceitfully in these things hath
been reserved to everlasting punishment. For thus they allured the
Watchers before the flood; and as these continually beheld them,
they fell into desire each of the other, and they conceived the act in
their mind, and changed themselves into the shape of men, and
appeared to them in their congress with their husbands; and the
women, having in their minds desire toward their apparitions, gave
birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even
unto heaven.
Testament of Naphtali 3
Nations went astray, and forsook the Lord, and changed their
order, and followed stones and stocks, following after spirits of
error. But ye shall not be so, my children, recognising in the
firmament, in the earth, and in the sea, and in all created things, the
Lord who made them all, that ye become not as Sodom, which
changed the order of its nature. in like manner also the
Watchers changed the order of their nature, whom also the
Lord cursed at the flood, and for their sakes made desolate the
earth, that it should be uninhabited and fruitless.
Saturn = Rome
SATURN wandered to Italy, where he ruled as king in the Golden
Age and gave the name SATURNIA to the country. (Encyclopedia
Britannica, Saturn, p. 231)
Romulus & Remus
Archaeologists say they have unearthed Lupercale-the sacred cave
where, according to legend, a she-wolf nursed the twin founders of
Rome and where the city itself was born.
According to myth, Lupercale is where a she-wolf suckled Romulus
and Remus, the twin sons of the war god Mars and mortal priestess
Rhea Silvia, who had been abandoned in a cradle on the bank of the
Tiber River
Rome is said to have been founded by Romulus and Remus. L.A.
Waddell in the British Edda points out that in the Edda text Rom is
another name for Edin or Eden. Rom or Romil was also a title of
the Set and serpent worshippers of ancient Egypt. Waddell
associates the wolf tribe with the star Sirius (dog star).
British Edda L.A. Waddell pg 277
Rome Title for Eden & Mother-Son Cult
Rom of the Edda is thus seen to have been a synonym for Eden and
its Wolf-tribe priestess and Chaldee people. This now appears to
explain the legend that the mythical founders of the new Rome in
Italy, Romulus and Remus, were wolf suckled, suggesting that they
were of the Mother-cult of the Wolf-Tribe of the Roms.Moreover,
Rom or Romit was the title of the Set-Wolf and Serpent worshipping
aborigines of Ancient Egypt.
Egyptian Serpent Worship
In the Temple of Serapeum in Alexandria (City of the Serpents Son)
which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, Serapis
was portrayed as a massive statue standing on a crocodile holding a
staff with a serpent coiling around it. At the top of the staff were the
heads of a lion, dog, and wolf, all symbols of the serpent cult.
{Return of the Serpents of Wisdom pg 56}
Wolf symbolism connected to Serpent Worship
While we know little about it, the Lupercalia seems to have been a
curious Latin festival with mysterious Greek origins. Later Roman
writers like Plutarch suggested that it originated in Arcadia in
southern Greece, where Lykaian Pan was worshiped (lykos is the
Greek word for wolf). The Roman poet Virgil would turn that
sameArcadia into an ideal image of Paradise, a lost Golden
Age.
The lost Golden Age is speaking of the days of
Noah/Atlantis/the age of SaturnSaturn Days of Noah. The
origin of Lupercalia/Valentines day comes from these times.
Therefore, the myth of Romulus and Remus must be traced back
much further than the days of Rome.
http://asiapacificuniverse.com/pkm/dogstory.htm
When thinking of dogs as deities few come to mind as quickly as
Anubis (aka Anpu). While sometimes represented clearly as a dog,
at other times he appears more like a jackal.
The most common representation appears like a cross between a
dog and a jackal and/or wolf. The same image is commonly used to
portray Wepwawet, another important if lesser known Egyptian
deity. This portrayal has led some to believe that the Egyptians may
have interbred domestic dogs with the wild dogs of Egypt, and in
particular the jackal and wolf.
Anubis was one of the most ancient of Egyptian gods closely
associated with funerary rites and the afterlife. He was guide to the
dead and the one who weighted the souls of the deceased against
the feather of Maat (truth and order). Socrates referred to Anubis
when he swore by the Dog of Egypt.
While the Greeks called Anubis sacred city Cynopolis, the city of
Wepwawet was known as Lycopolis Wolf City. The original king of
the dead before Osiris took that position, Wepwawet was intimately
connected with Egyptian royalty. The Lord of the Dead in Egyptian
religion was the King of Kings and Wepwawets original honor
survived in his placement on two of the four royal standards. The
kings standard, the shedshed with the form of the royal placenta
had an image of Wepwawet and was used to lead Pharaohs armies
into battle. It was also supposed to carry Pharaoh into heaven after
his death. Wepwawets own standard was the other of the four, and
represented Upper Egypt, the unification of the two lands and the
Egyptian nobility.
Like Anubis, Wepwawet appeared to be associated at various times
with the wolf, dog and jackal and often with an apparent cross of
these types.
Another prominent god who appeared most often in dog form was
Set. Also an ancient god, Sets popularity declined with time. He was
a god of the desert and the storm and was best known for his
conflict with Osiris, and the latters son Horus. Although portrayed
as a number of animals and also as a human with possibly an
aardvarks head, Set in full animal form was usually represented as
a dog.
One hieroglyph variant of his name has an image of his dog form
somewhat resembling a greyhound.
Originally Set was the equal of Osiris,
but as that god and his son Horus rose in popularity, Set became
more demonic in quality. He was symbolized Lower Egypt until the
Hyksos invaders adopted him as their patron god. After the
Hyksos were driven from Egypt, Set became the practical
equivalent of the devil.
The indigenous people of the Americas revered the wolf, coyote and
the domestic dog.
Some tribes were known as the Wolf People like the Mohican or
Mohegan. The Pawnee were known by other tribes by a similar
name. Numerous tribes had wolf divisions or bands. Also, animist
wolf societies were very pervasive and widespread.
It is interesting to note that while the ancient Egyptians
associated the star Sirius with the dog calling it the Dog
Star, the Pawnee knew Sirius as the Wolf Star. Medicine
men and shamans donned wolf clothing before rituals.
Dog worship extended into Central and South America also. One of
the important concepts here is that of the nahuali or animal twin.
Not only humans but gods had nahauli. The twin of Quetzalcoatl, the
Toltec god of goodness and light, was the dog god Xolotl. The latter
was a guide of the dead and of the Sun, and also the personification
of the planet Venus, the most important Mesoamerican planet/star.
In Mesoamerican art, Xolotl is portrayed as a man with a dogs head.
He is said to have created a protector and guide for humans in the
underworld in the form of the hairless dog, the Xoloitzcuintle.
Among most Turko-Mongol and Siberian peoples, the wolf and dog
hold a very high place. One of the most well-known traditions in this
regard is the descent of the great Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan
from the wolf and the doe.
In Siberia, along with many cases of people who claim the wolf as
ancestor one will also find many who claim descent from the dog.
Dogs in Ur of the Chaldees
Bau was originally one of the three main deities of the Sumerian
pantheon. She is portrayed as a dog-headed goddess of healing and
life. Dogs are her sacred animals with dog and puppy burials found
at her temples.
The belief that a dogs licking of wounds aided healing seems
connected with Baus position of goddess of physicians.
With the rise of the goddess Inanna in Sumerian religion, Bau and
her various manifestations began to be assimilated by Inanna. The
latter goddess had seven hunting dogs. Her husband Dumuzi is also
said to have black royal dogs in the story of Inannas descent into
the underworld.
In the Old Testament, the priests of Inanna (Asherah) and Dumuzi
(Tammuz) are known as kelabim dogs.
Deu 23:17 There shall be no prostitute among the
daughters of Israel, nor shall there be a homosexual among
the sons of Israel.
Deu 23:18 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the
price of a dog (kelavim) , into the house of YHWH your God
for any vow; for even both of these are an abomination to
YHWH your God.
Sumerian royal inscriptions use the compound ur-sag hero, warrior
which means literally top dog.
In the latter religion of Babylon and Assyria, the god Bel-Merodach,
king of all heavenly gods, had four dogs named Ukkumu (Seizer),
Akkulu (Eater), Iksuda (Grasper), and Iltebu (Holder).
Leto, the mother of Apollo and Artemis, took the form of a wolf or
was said to be escorted from the Hyperboreans by wolves. Artemis
was known as the Wolf Goddess and had a wolf on her
shield.Both she and her Roman counterpart Diana were
accompanied by a pack of hunting dogs.
Temples to Lycian Apollo or Wolf-like Apollo were common in
ancient Greece. Apollo was known as Lykegenes of she-wolf
descent in reference to his mother Leto. The wolf was Apollos
sacred animal.
Even Zeus had wolf connections among the Arcadians. Zeus Lykaios
or Wolf Zeus was the patron deity of Arcadia. There was a story
that a man turned into a wolf at each yearly sacrifice to Zeus
Lykaios.
The death goddess Hecate was closely linked with dogs and
sometimes portrayed as dog-headed. Her special pet was Cerebos,
the three-headed guard dog of the entrance to Hades. The
connection of dogs to death, the underworld and resurrection may
be linked to their burying and retrieving of bones and also to the
practice of dog burial the devouring of corpses by dogs
The Norse supreme deity Woden (Odin) chose two wolves, Freki and
Geri, as his companions. His own death by the great apocalyptic
wolf Fenrir was considered a fitting warriors death for the god.
The underworld known as Hel to the Norse was guarded by a pack of
dogs and wolves headed by the massive dog Garm. This could be
the origin of the term hell hounds.
Mithras, the Persian savior god, also had hunting dogs that helped
him in the slaying of the bull. The dog was considered sacred to
Mithras followers in ancient Europe.
Sirius & Saturn
Children of the Matrix pg 33
A focus on Sirius can be found at the heart of most ancient
societies and secret societies.
Sirius Mystery pg 96
The Sumerian heaven-god is called AnuAnu is represented by the
jackal. Well, of course, the jackal is the symbol (interchangeable
with the dog) of the Egyptian Anpu (Anubis)!Anu is king of some
attendant deities called the Anunnaki.
Sirius Mystery pg 98
Others again are of the opinion that by Anubis is meant Time, and
that his denomination of Kuon [the Greek word for the 'dog'] does
not so much allude to any likeness which he has to the dog, though
this be the general rendering of the word, as to that other
significance of the term taken from breeding; because Time begets
all things out of itself, bearing them within itself, as it were in a
womb. But this is one of those secret doctrines which are more fully
made known to those who are initiated into the worship of Anubis.
Sirius Mystery pg 99
Plutarch says: Some are of the opinion that Anubis is
Chronos. Chronos, of course, was the Greek time the devourer,
spelt with an h. Cronos in Latin is Saturn.
Quest of the Dragon and Bird Clan
http://sambali.blogspot.com/2006/01/glossary-dog-star.html
The name of Sirius probably is derived from the Egyptian word seir
meaning prince, and related also to Hebrew sar. Another
possibility is that the word comes from the Greek form for Osiris, the
Egyptian god of the underworld.
It was pictured in cultures throughout the world as a dog or wolf
situated in the southern sky and associated with the hot or dog
days of summer.
Sirius is also often connected with the image of a hunter. Among the
Sumerians, Ninurta, the hunter, and husband of the dog goddess
Bau (Gula), was linked with Sirius, while his wife had Venus
associations. Later, when Inanna absorbs Baus attributes she is
likewise viewed as a huntress with links both to Venus and Sirius.
In Greek myth, Sirius formed the head of the hunter Orions dog, the
constellation Canis Major. According to Monier-Williams, the dog star
was known among Hindus as Lubdhaka and Mrgavyadha both
meaning hunter and referring to the god Siva or Rudra.
Another association of Sirius connects the star with the Milky Way,
known often as the Way of Souls or the Way of the Dog/Wolf. In
this sense, Sirius is viewed as one or more dogs or wolves guarding
the path taken by departed souls.
In ancient Egypt, the heliacal rising of Sirius was central to the
yearly calendar. Sirius and Orion are personified respectively by the
deities Sopdet and Sah, who are in turn manifestations of Isis and
Osiris. Sopdet and Sah beget Sopdu, who is the manifestation of
Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris, and the patron deity of Egyptian
royalty. Sopdet is sometimes portrayed as a large dog, or as riding
side-saddle on a dog (during the Roman period).
When the Sun and Moon conjoined at the start of the
Egyptian New Year a festival known as the sacred
marriage was celebrated. This may relate to the Pyramid Texts
which state that Pharaoh unites with Isis in a form of hieros gamos
bringing forth Horus-Sopdu. In another passage, the royaldivine union is said to beget the Morning Star, and thus may
connect Venus with Horus.
Among the Sumerians, the sacred marriage took place
between the priest-king and Inanna, the latter probably
represented by the Lukur priestess, who was in turn linked
with the daughters of dog-headed Bau. Inanna again has as
her planet Venus and Sirius as one of her fixed stars. The
king during this ritual stands for Dumuzi, the husband of Inanna,
and every year near the rising of Sirius in the summer, the Kelabim
or dog priests of Dumuzi (Tammuz) held rites for the god.
Dogon tribe
In Mali, West Africa, lives a tribe of people called the Dogon. The
Dogon are believed to be of Egyptian decent and their astronomical
lore goes back thousands of years to 3200 BC. According to their
traditions, the star Sirius has a companion star which is invisible to
the human eye. This companion star has a 50 year elliptical orbit
around the visible Sirius and is extremely heavy. It also rotates on its
axis. How did a people who lacked any kind of astronomical devices
know so much about an invisible star? The star, which scientists call
Sirius B, wasnt even photographed until it was done by a large
telescope in 1970.
The Dogon stories explain that also. According to their oral
traditions, a race people from the Sirius system called the Nommos
visited Earth thousands of years ago. The Nommos were ugly,
amphibious beings that resembled mermen and mermaids. They
also appear in Babylonian, Accadian, and Sumerian myths. The
Egyptian Goddess Isis, who is sometimes depicted as a
mermaid, is also linked with the star Sirius.
The Nommos, according to the Dogon legend, lived on a planet that
orbits another star in the Sirius system. They landed on Earth in an
ark that made a spinning decent to the ground with great noise
and wind. It was the Nommos that gave the Dogon the knowledge
about Sirius B.
According to Credo Mutwaclick here, the Zulu people call the star
Sirius the Star of the Wolf and their ancient accounts say that a
sea-dwelling fish people from Sirius came to earth.

Bacchus was known as a sun-deity who also had the symbol of the
Tau cross as well as the Fish symbol and was also recognized by
many of the classical writers as Tammuz, the youthful returning sundeity. Now that brings us again to the fish story. Bacchus was also
called the ICHTHUS, or the Fish.
Dagon mark of the beast connection
1Sa 5:4 And they rose early in the morning on the next day;
and, behold! Dagon had fallen on its face to the earth before
the ark of YHWH, and the head of Dagon, and the two palms
of its hands, were cut off at the threshold. Only the
flat (fishy) part had been left to him.
Out of (the) deluge emerged DAGON, the fish-god, or GOD OF THE
SEA In the secret mysteries they sought to regain their influence
and power by scenic representation of the flood, in which NOAH
was introduced under the name DAGON. (Two Babylons pg 243-44)
In the mystery religions, both the forehead and hands were tattooed
during the initiation rites. (Reason for Dagons hands and head cut
off)
Rev 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The
seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth.
Rev 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and
one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh,
he must continue a short space.
Rev 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the
eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Nimrod connection
Nimrod is a picture of the antichrist who sought to bring back the
golden age of Saturn. He is linked with the Nephilim through the
language used in Scripture and shows that the rulers of the world
have also traced their lineage back to this mixed seed bloodline.
Nimrod connection
Gen 10:8 And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began (chalal
profane, defile) to be a mighty one in the land.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before (paniym) YHWH; so
it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before YHWH.
LXX
Gen 10:8 And Cush begot Nimrod: he began (archos
beginning/chief) to be a giant (gigas) upon the earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they
say, As Nimrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
Nimrod = Bacchus
John Gill commentary Genesis 10:8
In the Greek version he is called Nebrod, and by Josephus,
Nebrodes, which is a name of Bacchus; and indeed Nimrod is the
same with the Bacchus of the Heathens, for Bacchus is no other
than Barchus, the son of Cush; and Jacchus, which is another of his
names in Jah of Cush, or the god the son of Cush
Nimrod is linked to Orion
John Gill Genesis 10:9
Cedrenus (r) says, that the Assyrians deified Nebrod, or Nimrod, and
placed him among the constellations of heaven, and called him
Orion; the same first discovered the art of hunting, therefore they
joined to Orion the star called the dog star.
Two Babylons pg 24
The Kronos to whom Hesiod refers is evidently at bottom a different
Kronos from the human father of the gods, or Nimrod, whose history
occupies so large a place in this work. He is plainly none other than
Satan himself; the name Titan, or Teitan, as it is sometimes given,
being, as we have elsewhere concluded, only the Chaldee form of
Sheitan, the common name of the grand Adversary among the
Arabs, in the very region where the Chaldean Mysteries were
originally concocted,that Adversary who was ultimately the real
father of all the Pagan gods,and who (to make the title of Kronos,
the Horned One, appropriate to him also) was symbolised by the
Kerastes, or Horned serpent. All the brethren of this father of the
gods, who were implicated in his rebellion against his own father,
the God of Heaven, were equally called by the reproachful name
Titans; but, inasmuch as he was the ringleader in the rebellion, he
was, of course, Titan by way of eminence. In this rebellion of Titan,
the goddess of the earth was concerned, and the result was that
(removing the figure under which Hesiod has hid the fact) it became
naturally impossible that the God of Heaven should have children
upon eartha plain allusion to the Fall.
Two Babylons pg 25
it is to Satan, the Hidden Lord of hell, ultimately that all came at
last to be traced back; for the different myths about Saturn, when
carefully examined, show that he was at once the Devil, the father
of all sin and idolatry, who hid himself under the disguise of the
serpent,and Adam, who hid himself among the trees of the
garden,and Noah, who lay hid for a whole year in the ark,and
Nimrod, who was hid in the secrecy of the Babylonian Mysteries.
Two Babylons pg 33
It is well known that Kronos, or Saturn, was Rheas husband; but it is
not so well known who was Kronos himself. Traced back to his
original, that divinity is proved to have been the first king of
Babylon. Theophilus of Antioch shows that Kronos in the east was
worshipped under the names of Bel and Bal; and from Eusebius we
learn that the first of the Assyrian kings, whose name was Belus,
was also by the Assyrians called Kronos. As the genuine copies of
Eusebius do not admit of any Belus, as an actual king of Assyria,
prior to Ninus, king of the Babylonians, and distinct from him, that
shows that Ninus, the first king of Babylon, was Kronos. But, further,
we find that Kronos was king of the Cyclops, who were his brethren,
and who derived that name from him, * and that the Cyclops were
known as the inventors of tower-building.
The king of the Cyclops, the inventors of tower-building, occupied
a position exactly correspondent to that of Rhea, who first erected
(towers) in cities. If, therefore, Rhea, the wife of Kronos, was the
goddess of fortifications, Kronos or Saturn, the husband of Rhea,
that is, Ninus or Nimrod, the first king of Babylon, must have been
Ala mahozin, the god of fortifications.
Dan 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall
exalt and magnify himself above every god; he shall even speak
marvelous things against the God of gods and shall prosper until the
fury is completed. For that which is decreed shall be done.
Dan 11:37 He shall not regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire
of women; yea, he will not come to any god. For he shall magnify
himself above all.
Dan 11:38 But in his place he shall honor the god of forces
(*mahuzzim-angels), and he shall honor a god whom his fathers did
not know, with gold and silver and with precious stones, and
desirable things.
forces: or, munitions, Heb. Mauzzim or, gods protectors, Saints and
angels, who were invoked as intercessors and protectors, had
miracles ascribed to them, their relics worshipped, and their shrines
and images adorned with costly offerings.
Two Babylons pg 34
The name Kronos itself goes not a little to confirm the argument.
Kronos signifies The Horned one. As a horn is a well known
Oriental emblem for power or might, Kronos, The Horned one,
was, according to the mystic system, just a synonym for the
Scriptural epithet applied to Nimrodviz., Gheber, The mighty one
(Gen 10:8), He began to be mighty on the earth. The name
Kronos, as the classical reader is well aware, is applied to Saturn as
the Father of the gods.
The meaning of this name Kronos, The Horned one, as applied to
Nimrod, fully explains the origin of the remarkable symbol, so
frequently occurring among the Nineveh sculptures, the gigantic
HORNED man-bull, as representing the great divinities in Assyria.
The same word that signified a bull, signified also a ruler or prince. *
* The name for a bull or ruler, is in Hebrew without points, Shur,
which in Chaldee becomes Tur. From Tur, in the sense of a bull,
comes the Latin Taurus; and from the same word, in the sense of a
ruler, Turannus, which originally had no evil meaning. Thus, in these
well known classical words, we have evidence of the operation of
the very principle which caused the deified Assyrian kings to be
represented under the form of the man-bull.
Hence the Horned bull signified The Mighty Prince, thereby
pointing back to the first of those Mighty ones, who, under the
name of Guebres, Gabrs, or Cabiri, occupied so conspicuous a place
in the ancient world, and to whom the deified Assyrian monarchs
covertly traced back the origin of their greatness and might. This
explains the reason why the Bacchus of the Greeks was represented
as wearing horns, and why he was frequently addressed by the
epithet Bull-horned, as one of the high titles of his dignity.
Two Babylons pg 42
The ordinary way in which the favourite Egyptian divinity Osiris was
mystically represented was under the form of a young bull or calf
the calf Apisfrom which the golden calf of the Israelites was
borrowed. There was a reason why that calf should not commonly
appear in the appropriate symbols of the god he represented, for
that calf represented the divinity in the character of Saturn, The
HIDDEN one, Apis being only another name for Saturn. *
* The name of Apis in Egyptian is Hepi or Hapi, which is evidently
from the Chaldee Hap, to cover. In Egyptian Hap signifies to
conceal. (BUNSEN)
Uriels Machine pg 137
The word Nephilim is of uncertain origin, but it has been observed
by specialist scholars that the root Aramaic word nephila is the
name of the constellation Orion, and therefore, Nephilim would
seem to mean those that are of Orionthe Australian Aborigines
identified that their own version of the Watchers (the
Nurrumbunguttias) had come to earth from Orion.
Uriels Machine pg 216
The Nurrumbunguttias, according to the Aborigines, were a spirit
people who came down from the sky and ruled the earth but the sea
rose up and flooded the land so that even the mountain tops were
covered and the whole world was water. Many Nurrumbunguttias
were drowned, but others escaped to the heavens to become gods
in the sky.
Sacred Books of the East Volume 1 Assyria & Babylon pg 26
The city of Babylon owes its foundation to those who were
saved from the catastrophe of the flood ; these were the giants,
and they built the tower which is noticed in history. But
the tower being overthrown by the interposition of God, the
giants were scattered over all the earth.
The INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BIBLE ENCYCLOPEDIA connects the
constellation of Orion with Nimrod/Marduk
He who was to the Babylonians a deified hero, was to the
Hebrews a rebel Titan, bound in chains among the stars that all
might behold his punishment, and in this aspect the question,
Canst thou loose the bands of Orion? (Job_38:31) would be
equivalent to asking Canst thou bring down out of their places the
stars that make up this figure and so, as it were, set the Titan free?
In the very brief reference to Nimrod in Gen_10:8, Gen_10:9, he is
three times overemphatically termed gibbor, a mighty
(one) and this has been the name of this constellation among
Syrians, Arabs and Jews for many centuries.
Pleiades Saturn Connection
Chaos & Creation Chapter 8 Saturns Children
THE PLEIADES
Cardona produces evidence to show that Saturn (Khima) is
connected with the Pleiades. For one thing their names are often
confused, as in the King James and other versions of the Bible where
Khima is translated as Pleiades instead of as Saturn. The Pleiades
are connected with the Flood of Noah (Saturn) in many places.
Further, two stars from (Super) Saturn caused the deluge. As
Ginzberg reports the legend, the upper water rushed through the
space left when god removed two stars out of the constellation
Pleiades [Saturn]. [8] The stars, says Cardona, were better called
comets; the Earth was deluged when it passed through their tails.
(Super) Saturn was in the North polar region prior to its explosion.
The Pleiades were presumably behind Saturn. After the Deluge,
Saturn had been moved and the Pleiades were observed in his
place.
Now we recite the Osiris-Saturn legend in Egypt. The great and
beloved god, Osiris, is drowned by the devil god, Seth, who then
cuts his body to pieces and scatters its fragments. The Pleiades, we
surmise, are the fragments and worshipped on the day of Saturns
death. The discrepancy between early November and late
December, when Saturn is celebrated and the Saturnalia are held,
indicates that the length of the year shifted once again after the
deluge, perhaps from 260 to 320 days or so. At least one of the
Pleiades has since lost much of its brightness, for many peoples,
who can today observe only six stars, cite its true number of seven
stars.
From the very beginnings in Urania, mankind was impressed by the
great eye that appeared in the northern opening of the sky. In
Talbotts drawings (Figure 25) we see it. In the course of the day, the
eye is often lidded with the crescent of the Suns reflection (the
inverted sky-boat). The image also changes into the face of the
Heavenly Cow, horned by the crescent. Rudolf Anthes writes :
The concept of the Eye of the highest god was mentioned in the
story of the heavenly cow. The Eye occurs either as the Eye of Horus
or the Eye of Re, though not exclusively : we encountered the Eye of
Atum before. The characteristic of the Eye appears to be that its
removal from the highest god means disturbance, while its return
means pacification and the restitution of order.
The great battle when Seth plucked out the Eye of Horus (Jupiter)
was one such occasion. The Eye prevailed until the end of Jovean
times; it is still found in many occult philosophies and on the face of
the American dollar.
Saturn the god was identified by the Romans with the planet Saturn.
As sun and king of gods, Saturns names were many. Besides those
listed by D. Talbott above (p. 179), one might mention as Saturnian
Elohim (Hebrews), Odin (norse), Baal (Near East), and Tiamat-Apsu
(Assyrian). Many identities are lost or undiscovered; several were
once used for Uranus (as Varuna) or are given to later gods (as Baal
became Venus). Also god heroes and gods act interchangeably, as
Manu and Vishnu (Hindu). His home is supposed to be in the north
where he presided on his throne. An early Egyptian account in the
age of Mercury says that when [Pharaoh] Pepi standeth upon the
north of heaven with Ra, he becometh lord of the universe, like unto
the king of the gods. Pepi is also called brother of the Moon. A
Chaldean oracle called him the companion of Helios, the Titanic Sun.
M. Jastrow (1898) states: at all events, the fact that Saturn was
also called the sun is vouched for, both by explanatory notes
attached to the astrological connotations, and by notices in classical
writings to that effect. Many peoples of the Age of Saturn could see
the planet there; it was huge and becoming more continuously
distinct as the boreal heavens cleared of the Uranian canopies and
the Lunarian debris. Saturn was the first irradiator of light, wrote
Westropp and Wake, but we recognize Super-Uranus in this capacity
and Saturn, the son of Uranus, as continuing where he left off.
This connection is further seen in the symbols connected with the
Pleiades and Saturn.
In the video the UFO Chronicles a lady who goes by the name
AriaA claims to be a walk-in from the Pleiades.
A Walk-in is a one-dimensional, inter-planetary soul exchange. A
soul from a more developed ET or Angelic civilization (or an
evolved Earth soul) enters the voluntarily surrendered body and
personality of a human being to better serve humanity and Earth.
AriaA makes are through her host, notice the symbology:
Notice that these human figures have marks in their foreheads. The
mark of the hexagram and the mark of the cross, both are symbols
that point to the mark of the beast, the evolution of man. What do
these Pleiadians promise mankind?
The Pleiadians are alien beings from the star cluster in the
constellation Taurus known as the Pleiades. Barbara Marciniak
claims that the Pleiadians chose her to be their messenger. She
reveals this in her channeled book, Bringers of the Dawn and the
Alchemy of Human Evolution.

The Awakeners carry a DNA code that is not genetic in a literal
sense but rather a cosmic code, encoded with light fields. Those
light fields are receptive to cosmic particles; they receive and
transmit the new light forms and harmonic frequencies which
emanate from Creation Source to become the New Creation.
The Awakeners carry a cosmic code within their cosmic DNA, and
not their genetic DNA, that was seeded into planetary bloodlines of
ancestral lineages. They have always questioned authority, sought
creativity and established (firmly the basis of) individuality. These
are the Awakeners who question authority and foster individuality
and creativity as prime fields for cosmic DNA so as to illuminate
holographic projections within a critical mass of human beings in
order to alter the nature of reality. Thus, a new holographic field is
being created out of an alchemical relationship of the Awakeners,
these pioneers of consciousness and their capacity to perceive,
interpret and project reality within this self-perpetuating universe.
Remember, the cosmic code and the cosmic DNA constitute the
capacity of the soul for enlightenment.
The ancient astronaut, alien delusion is a part of leading mankind

John Dee, who likened the hexagram to the Philosophers Stone, was

Lam.
Aleister Crowley was known as the most wicked man on the planet
and proclaimed himself as the beast 666. Crowley stated that he
met a being named Aiwass who dictated to him the Book of the Law
on April 8-10 1904.
This is what Crowley said this being looked like.
From Wikipedia.org
Crowley had a revelatory experience in 1904, while on holiday in
Cairo, Egypt,which led to his founding of the Magickal philosophy
known as Thelema. Aleisters wife Rose started to behave in an odd
way, and this started to lead Aleister to believe that an entity had
made contact with her. At her instructions, he performed an
invocation of the Egyptian God Horus on March 20 with (he
wrote) great success. According to Crowley,the God told him
that a new Aeon for mankind had begun, and that Crowley
would serve as its prophet. Rose continued to give information,
telling Crowley in detailed terms to await a further revelation. On 8
April and for the following two days at exactly noon he heard a
voice, dictating the words of the text, Liber AL vel Legis, or The Book
of the Law, which Crowley wrote down. The voice claimed to be that
of Aiwass (or Aiwaz) the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat, or Horus,
the god of air, child of Isis and Osiris and The Crowned and
Conquering Child of the New Aeon, which was to be
announced through his chosen scribe the prince-priest the
Beast.
The influence that Crowley has made on our society is staggering,
especially popular culture. Since the 1960s much of Crowleys
teachings have become mainstream in our society. In can be
summed up in the following:

Encounters with UFOs have occurred all throughout history. click
here It is not a new phenomenon beginning at Roswell in 1947.
Alexander the Great, Columbus, St. Bartholomew and even ancient
Sanskrit writings from India speak of UFO encounters. This topic will
need to be discussed in more detail in the future but suffice it to
say, the UFO phenomenon may become a big part of the end time
strong delusion. One of the things that made me realize how this
may become a great deception was a program on the history
channel called UFOs in the Bible. In this program YHWH and the
angels become aliens that have been leading mankind for
centuries. The Word of YHWH coming to a prophet becomes an
encounter of alien telepathy and so forth. Of course this is
complete fallacy, but while watching this program I could see how if
alien beings came to earth they could use this to unite mankind.
Especially if they prove that the Christ has been an alien being all
along.

Pan Saturn
Two Babylons pg 119
Dionysus or Bacchus, in one of his transformations, was represented
as Capricorn {Capricorn = Saturn}, the goat-horned fish; and
there is reason to believe that it was in this very form that he had
the name of Oannes. In this form in India, under the name Souro,
that is evidently the seed, he is said to have done many
marvellous things.
The reason for believing that Oannes, that was said to have been
the first of the fabulous creatures that came up out of the sea and
instructed the Babylonians, was represented as the goat-horned
fish, is as follows: First, the name Oannes, as elsewhere shown, is
just the Greek form of He-annesh, or The man, which is a synonym
for the name of our first parent, Adam. Now, Adam can be proved to
be the original of Pan, who was also called Inuus, which is just
another pronunciation of Anosh without the article, which, in our
translation of Genesis 5:7, is made Enos. This name, as universally
admitted, is the generic name for man after the Fall, as weak and
diseased. The o in Enos is what is called the vau, which sometimes
is pronounced o, sometimes u, and sometimes v or w. A legitimate
pronunciation of Enos, therefore, is just Enus or Enws, the same in
sound as Inuus, the Ancient Roman name of Pan.
The name Pan itself signifies He who turned aside. As the
Hebrew word for uprightness signifies walking straight in the
way, so every deviation from the straight line of duty was Sin;
Hata, the word for sin, signifying generically to go aside from the
straight line. Pan, it is admitted, was the Head of the Satyrs
that is, the first of the Hidden Ones, for Satyr and Satur,
the Hidden One, are evidently just the same word; and Adam
was the first of mankind that hid himself.
Two Babylons pg 119
Pan is said to have loved a nymph called Pitho, or, as it is given in
another form, Pitys (SMITH, Pan); and what is Pitho or Pitys but just
the name of the beguiling woman, who, having been beguiled
herself, acted the part of a beguiler of her husband, and induced
him to take the step, in consequence of which he earned the name
Pan, The man that turned aside. Pitho or Pitys evidently come
from Peth or Pet, to beguile, from which verb also the famous
serpent Python derived its name. This conclusion in regard to the
personal identity of Pan and Pitho is greatly confirmed by the titles
given to the wife of Faunus. Faunus, says Smith, is merely another
name for Pan. * In Chaldee the same letter that is pronounced P is
also pronounced Ph, that is F, therefore Pan is just Faun.
Pitys turned into a pine tree to escape him. This pine tree allusion
is also connected with the mark of the beast/hidden one connection
to Pan, as will be seen below.
Two Babylons pg 119-120
Now, the wife of Faunus was called Oma, Fauna, and Fatua, which
names plainly mean The mother that turned aside, being
beguiled. This beguiled mother is also called indifferently the
sister, wife, or daughter of her
husband; and how this agrees with the relations of Eve to Adam, the
reader does not need to be told.
Now, a title of Pan was Capricornus, or The goat-horned (DYMOCK,
Pan), and the origin of this title must be traced to what took place
when our first parent became the Head of the Satyrsthe first
of the Hidden ones. He fled to hide himself; and Berkha, a
fugitive, signifies also a he-goat. Hence the origin of the
epithet Capricornus,
or goat-horned, as applied to Pan. But as Capricornus in the
sphere is generally represented as the Goat-fish, if Capricornus
represents Pan, or Adam, or Oannes, that shows that it must
be Adam, after, through virtue of the metempsychosis, he
had passed through the waters of the deluge: the goat, as
the symbol of Pan, representing Adam, the first father of
mankind, combined with the fish, the symbol of Noah, the
second father of the human race; of both whom Nimrod, as
at once Kronos, the father of the gods, and Souro, the
seed, was a new incarnation. Among
the idols of Babylon, as represented in KITTOS Illust. Commentary,
we find a representation of this very Capricornus, or goat-horned
fish; and Berosus tells us that the well known representations of Pan,
of which Capricornus is a modification, were found in Babylon in the
most ancient times. A great deal more of evidence might be
adduced on this subject; but I submit to the reader if the above
statement does not sufficiently account for
the origin of the remarkable figure in the Zodiac, The goat-horned
fish.
Pan & the Pine tree
Pan is also often depicted with a crown of pine needles
When Pan found the nymph Pitys unresponsive, he took pity on her
and transformed her into his sacred tree, the pine tree. From then
on, the nymph weeps every time the North Wind blows; her
teardrops are the droplets of pine resin that dribble down each
autumn of the year.
Kundalini connection
Kundalini is the belief that there is a serpent encoiled at the base of
the spine which can be meditation and spiritual acts, causing it to
climb the spine where it reaches your pineal gland and opens your
3rd eye. Interestingly, the word for spine and tree are the same.
The serpent
rises up the spine to the pineal gland which was represented in
ancient cultures as the pine cone.the fruit of the pine tree.
Staff of Osiris
Osiris & the All Seeing Eye
The All Seeing Eye corresponds to the pineal gland.
The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom pg 25 states that the symbol
of the Sirians (from Sirius) in Atlantis was a triangle, sometimes with
an eye in the middle. This all seeing-eye symbol traced
through Egypt as the eye of Horus/Osiris/Ra/Isis which is
what is seen on the back of the dollar bill.
Interestingly, it is believed by some people such as Robert Bauval
and Robert Temple that the Giza pyramids are a mirror image, the
Earthly representation of the Belt of Orion
The pine cone is associated with the Sumerian Annunaki who are
said to have created men from clay jars. This is referring to
manipulation of DNA which will need to be discussed in greater
detail in another study but needless to say it is associated with the
Kundalini spirit, the awakening of the serpent and the result of man
being enlightened or evolving into a higher spiritual being.
The above picture is of the Sumerian god Ninurta. Ninurta =
Saturn.

The Beast from the Sea
The term beast out of the sea represented one aspect of the Sun
as the god of the cosmic sea, whom the Mediterranean countries
worshipped as Pan/Pallas, Saturn or Chronos, the god of time.
The Saturn Myth David Talbott pg 93
In the earliest age recalled by the ancients, the planet [Saturn]
PROTO-PLANET came forth from the cosmic sea to establish
dominion over the entire world. The planet-god ruled as the solitary
central light, worshipped as the god One the only god in the
beginning.
Great God Pan, http://users.pandora.be/xamdrasiel/pan.htm
Sophocles also has Pan as the sea wanderer, roaming the seas, and
the conch shell can replace the pipes in some tales Is Pan the
archetype of the sign of Capricorn, the Sea-Goat, half-Goat, half
fish.
The Saturn Myth David Talbott
Almost uniformly ignored is the connection of the primordial mangod with the actual planet Saturn even though it is precisely the
latter that can tell us why the great father appears in both human
and celestial form.
The overwhelming preoccupation with ancient ritual is with an
ancient great god:
1. The myths say that the great god emerged alone from the cosmic
sea as the preeminent power in the heavens. Out of watery chaos
he produced a new order. The ancients worshiped him as the creator
and the supreme lord of the Cosmos.
2. This solitary god, according to the legend, founded a kingdom of
unparalleled splendor. He was the divine ancestor of all earthly
rulers, his kingdom the prototype of the just and prosperous realm.
Throughout his reign an unending spring prevailed, the land
produced, and men knew neither labor nor war.
3. In the god-kings towering form the ancients perceived the
Heaven-Man, a primordial giant whose body was the newly
organized Cosmos. The legends often present the figure as the first
man or primordial man whose history personified the struggle of
good and evil.
4. Whether emphasizing the great fathers character as creator, first
king, or Heaven-Man, widespread traditions proclaimed him to be
the planet Saturn.
Bloodline of the Holy Grail Laurence Gardner
It was the Arcadian legacy that was responsible for the mysterious
sea beast the Bistea Neptunis as symbolically defined in the
Merovingian ancestry. The relevant sea-lord was King Pallas, a god
of old Arcadia
Arcadia = the Golden age of the gods, celebrated during Lupercalia
religiondispatches.org
While we know little about it, the Lupercalia seems to have been a
curious Latin festival with mysterious Greek origins. Later Roman
writers like Plutarch suggested that it originated in Arcadia in
southern Greece, where Lykaian Pan was worshiped (lykos is the
Greek word for wolf). The Roman poet Virgil would turn that
sameArcadia into an ideal image of Paradise, a lost Golden
Ageclick here of musical shepherds and right religion, in a
marvelous cycle of poems called The Eclogues (or The Bucolics).
Francis Bacon and the A.A.
http://templarchronicle.homestead.com/francisbaconAA.html
Pan was the Great God of Arcadia In Arcadian imagery he was
also Time; Man who fell as Lucifer from the heavens and Saturn, or
Satan, meaning adversary and intelligence This Pan represents
our path to enlightenment.
Arcadia: The Ancient Egyptian Mysteries Francis Bacon
The symbolical form of Pan was invented so as to suggest the
gradual transformation and transmutation of nature from the lowest
earthly forms to the highest celestial forms the highest form of life
being celestial or angelical man, the Christ man. The highest form
transcends and contains all the lower ones, and hence Pan is preeminently a symbol of Man who, as Adam, was intended to be the
Lord of Nature, and who may still (and is intended to) attain that
end. Pan is the Archetype for the whole evolution and crowning
achievement of the human soul. In other words, Pan signifies the
Spirit of Man, whilst the Bride (or Truth) represents the human soul
in whom Truth is revealed when she attains perfection and virtuous
mastery over all nature. Bacon reveals that what is now known as
the Church of Christ was once known as the Brotherhood of Pan.
Pan is also known as Saturn or Satan, meaning the Tester or
Adversary. Properly understood, this signifies Intelligence, which
tests the Spirit to see whether it is good (i.e. God) or not. This is the
function of the mind, or intellect, which is directly associated with
what primarily Man is a thinker. Through thinking man comes to
understand and eventually, through thought put into action, to know
truth to know God. Pan carries the sickle and hourglass, symbols of
death and time, for it is only through the changing experiences of
nature, which we call mortality, that the human soul is perfected
and true knowledge is obtained.
Pans worship spread far beyond Greece into many neighbouring
countries such as Egypt, and local equivalents of him seem to have
appeared all over the world, either by diffusion or coincidence. Panlike deities existed everywhere. In Greece there were rustic gods
such as Aristaeus (flocks, agriculture, bee-keeping*, vineculture),
Priapus (the same) and Silenus (vineculture and knowledge)**.
**Vineculture points to DNA and knowledge points to the tree of
knowledge.
In Greek mythology, Silenus (in Greek, ) was a companion
and tutor to the wine god Dionysus. The plural Seleni (in Greek,
) usually refers to drunken followers of Dionysus.
Saturn, Ivy & Bacchus
click here
According to The Green Mountain Gardener, Dr. Leonard Perry,
ancient pagans fashioned ivy into wreaths and garlands for
decorations during the winter months. Ivy had close ties with
the Roman god of wine, Bacchus. Holly, meanwhile, figured
prominently in the Roman celebration of the Saturnalia (upon which
the Christmas holiday was directly modeled), as it was considered
sacred to Saturn.
Circular wreaths of evergreen
branches (especially holly) were a featured part
of the festival. These were formed in the shape of the
sun, and represented life which could not exist without sunlight.
These wreaths were placed on inside and outside
walls during the celebrations. At the time of initiation
into the Dionysian mysteries, these were worn by
the initiates as fertility symbols. They represented the
perpetuity of existence through on-going cycles of life,
death, and rebirth.
Holly berries were also considered sacred to the sungod.
The use of Christmas wreaths is believed by authorities
to be traceable to the pagan customs of decorating
buildings and places of worship at the feast
which took place at the same time as Christmas.
Frederick J. Haskins, Answers to Questions.
Mistletoe
Where did the mistletoe custom originate?
Among the ancients, because mistletoe was considered
sacred to the sun, it was used at the December
festival of the winter solstice, when the sun was lowest
in the noon sky.
Kissing under the mistletoe was thought to be an
act of solar worship, empowering the worshipers for still
further worship. As this indicates, pagan sun-worship
services were very licentious. Temple prostitution was
performed during the eight-day Roman Saturnalia which
immediately preceded the December 25 sun-birth celebration.
The winter solstice (Dec 25) was the time
at which all the sun-gods from Osiris to Jupiter
and Mithra had celebrated their (birthdays),
the celebration being adorned with the pine tree of
Adonis, the Holy of Saturn, and the Mistletoe tappers
represented the kindling of the newborn sun-gods

As Mystery signifies the Hidden system, so Saturn signifies the
Hidden god. *
* In the Litany of the Mass, the worshippers are taught thus to pray:
God Hidden,
and my Saviour, have mercy upon us. (MGAVINS Protestant)
Whence can this
invocation of the God Hidden have come, but from the ancient
worship of Saturn, the Hidden God? As the Papacy has canonised
the Babylonian god by the name of St. Dionysius, and St. Bacchus,
the martyr, so by this very name of Satur is he also enrolled in
the calendar; for March 29th is the festival of St. Satur, the martyr.
(CHAMBERS Book of Days)
To those who were initiated the god was revealed; to all else he was
hidden. Now, the name Saturn in Chaldee is pronounced Satur;
but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four
letters, thusStur. This name contains exactly the
Apocalyptic number 666:
S = 060
T = 400
U = 006
R = 200
If the Pope is, as we have seen, the legitimate representative of
Saturn, the number of the Pope, as head of the Mystery of Iniquity,
is just 666. But still further it turns out, as shown above, that the
original name of Rome itself was Saturnia, the city of Saturn. This
is vouched alike by Ovid, by Pliny, and by Aurelius Victor. Thus, then,
the Pope has a double claim to the name and number of the beast.
He is the only legitimate representative of the original Saturn at this
day in existence, and he reigns in the very city of the seven hills
where the Roman Saturn formerly reigned; and, from his residence
in which, the whole of Italy was long after called by his name,
being commonly named the Saturnian land. But what bearing, it
may be said, has this upon the name Lateinos {see part 2 666click
here}, which is commonly believed to be the name of the beast?
Much. It proves that the common opinion is thoroughly wellfounded. Saturn and Lateinos are just synonymous, having precisely
the same meaning, and belonging equally to the same god. The
reader cannot have forgotten the lines of Virgil, which showed that
Lateinos, to whom the Romans or Latin race traced back their
lineage, was represented with a glory around his head, to show that
he was a child of the Sun. Thus, then, it is evident that, in popular
opinion, the original Lateinos hadoccupied the very same position as
Saturn did in the Mysteries, who was equally worshipped as the
offspring of the Sun. Moreover, it is evident that the Romans knew
that the name Lateinos signifies the Hidden One, for their
antiquarians invariably affirm that Latium received its name from
Saturn lying hid there. On etymological grounds, then, even on the
testimony of the Romans, Lateinos is equivalent to the Hidden
One; that is, to Saturn, the god
of Mystery. *
* Latium Latinus (the Roman form of the Greek Lateinos),
and Lateo, to lie hid, all alike come from the Chaldee Lat,
which has the same meaning. The name lat, or the hidden one,
had evidently been given, as well as Saturn, to the great Babylonian
god. This is evident from the name of the fish Latus, which was
worshipped along with the Egyptian Minerva, in the city of Latopolis
in Egypt,
now Esneh (WILKINSON), that fish Latus evidently just being another
name for
the fish-god Dagon. We have seen that Ichthys, or the Fish,
was one of the names of Bacchus; and the Assyrian goddess
Atergatis, with her son Ichthys is said to have been cast into the lake
of Ascalon. That the sun-god Apollo had been known under the
name of Lat, may be inferred from the Greek name of his motherwife Leto, or in Doric, Lato, which is just the feminine of Lat. The
Roman name
244
Latona confirms this, for it signifies The lamenter of Lat, as
Bellona signifies
The lamenter of Bel. The Indian god Siva, who, as we have seen, is
sometimes
represented as a child at the breast of its mother, and has the same
bloody
character as Moloch, or the Roman Saturn, is called by this very
name, as may be
seen from the following verse made in reference to the image found
in his
celebrated temple at Somnaut:

Saturn Hermes connection
Many medical organisations use a symbol of a short rod entwined
by two snakes and topped by a pair of wings, which is actually the
caduceus or magic wand of the Greek
god Hermes (Roman Mercury), messenger of the gods, inventor of
(magical) incantations, conductor of the dead and protector of
merchants and thieves. It is derived from the Greek karykeion =
heralds staff, itself based on the word eruko meaning restrain,
control. It is interesting to see that most of organisations using this
symbol are generally either commercial or military
The link between the caduceus of Hermes (Mercury) and medicine
seems to have arisen by the seventh century A.D., when Hermes
had come to be linked with alchemy. Alchemists were referred to as
the sons of Hermes, as Hermetists or Hermeticists and as
practitioners of the hermetic arts.
The caduceus was the magic staff of Hermes (Mercury), the god
of commerce, eloquence, invention, travel and theft, and so was a
symbol of heralds and commerce, not medicine. The words caduity
& caducous imply temporality, perishableness and senility, while the
medical profession espouses renewal, vitality and health.
Notice the EMS symbols combining of the cross and the
hexagram.
Caduceus power wand
Caduceus Power Wand: This wand is sold at occult, new age &
witchcraft stores such as Abaxion with descriptions such as Its
central phallic rod represents the potentiality of the masculine, and
is initmately surrounded by the writhing, woven shakti energies of
two coupling serpents. The rod also represents the spine
[sushumna] while the serpents conduct spiritual currents [pranas]
along the ida and pingala channels in a double helix pattern from
the chakra at the base of the spine up to the pineal gland.
According to occultists, there are three principal nadis (Sanskrit for
channel) in the human body. The sushumna (the spinal column
through which the life-forces flow), by which means we enter and
leave the body, the Ida (refreshment and stimulation of spirit),
which is associated with the higher mind or manas and the Pingala,
(reddish-brown), associated with kama or the force of desire. (G. de
Purucker Man in Evolution ch. 15 & 16; and Fountain-Source of
Occultism, pp. 458-63).
Symbol of Mercury
But again, Cush, as the son of Ham, was Her-mes or Mercury; for
Hermes is just an Egyptian synonym for the son of Ham.
Cush=Bacchus
Caduceus is a winged staff with two snakes wrapped around it. It
was an ancient astrological symbol of commerce and is
associated with the Greek god Hermes, the messenger for the gods,
conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves. It
was originally a heralds staff, sometimes with wings, with two white
ribbons attached. The ribbons eventually evolved into snakes in the
figure-eight shape.
In the Greek myths, this constellation represented Asclepius, the
god of medicine, who was so skilled that he could even raise the
dead
In the seventh century, the caduceus came to be associated with a
precursor of medicine, based on the Hermetic astrological principles
of using the planets and stars to heal the sick.
The caduceus

Hermes & Saturn
Hermes connection to satan
Zeus the all powerful intervened saying he had been watching and
Hermes should return the cattle to Apollo. As the argument went on,
Hermes began to play his lyre. The sweet music enchanted Apollo,
and he offered Hermes to keep the cattle in exchange for the lyre.
Apollo later became the grand master of the instrument, and it also
became one of his symbols. Later while Hermes watched over his
herd he invented the pipes known as a syrinx (pan-pipes), which he
made from reeds. Hermes was also credited with inventing the flute.
Apollo, also desired this instrument, so Hermes bartered with Apollo
and received his golden wand which Hermes later used as his
heralds staff.

The trickster is an important archetype in the history of man. He is a
god, yet he is not. He is the wise-fool. It is he, through his creations
that destroy, points out the flaws in carefully constructed societies
of man. He rebels against authority, pokes fun at the overly serious,
creates convoluted schemes, that may or may not work, plays with
the Laws of the Universe and is sometimes his own worst enemy. He
exists to question, to cause us to question not accept things blindly.
He appears when a way of thinking becomes outmoded needs to be
torn down built anew. He is the Destroyer of Worlds at the same
time the savior of us all.
Hermes and Saturn
Planet Saturn and the Trickster
Saturn, the grim reaper, rules responsibilities, restrictions,
limitations, and the lessons you must learn in life. He does not deny
or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, or good fortune, but
he does demand that these things be given structure and meaning.
The karmic lessons we have come to experience and overcome in
this lifetime are expressed by Saturn. Saturn is a great teacher if
you allow it to be so. If you resist, then you feel like you have been
dealing with the Trickster. It takes spiritual maturity to move beyond
the challenges of the Trickster and to embrace Saturn the Teacher.

One of the symbolic forms, which was linked with the idea of

Is the caduceus the origin of the dollar
symbol?
Secret Symbols of the Dollar Bill David Ovason pg 3
The word dollar is derived from the German taler. The name taler
was first given to silver coins made in 1519. This metal was mined
in Joachimsthal (Joachims valley, or thaler), in what was Bohemia.
The obverse of one thaler showed the crucified Christ. On the
reverse was the image of a serpent, hanging from a cross.
Pg 4
Near the serpents head are the two letters NU, and on the other
side of the cross the number 21. This is a reference to Numbers 21.
IBID pg 5
It is this origin that has led some historians to claim that the thaler
image of the serpent-cross is the origin for the dollar sign.

Four primary streams of light appeared to radiate from Saturn,
dividing the Saturnian band into quarters. The symbols of these four
streams are the sun-cross and enclosed sun-cross. Mythically, these
are the four rivers of the lost paradise, the four winds, and the four
pillars of Saturns cosmos. The enclosed sun-cross is thus the
universal image of the unified state on our earth, for every

The seated figure is the sun-god Shamash, sitting in front of a sun
disc, and below a cross, both his symbols. The seven-line
cuneiform inscription, a prayer to Shamash, can be translated:
Shamash, king of heaven and earth whose mes are brilliant, who
advances with horns, who through his (servant) who reveres him
has brought salvation: Sha-ilimma-damqa, son of Lugal-mansi.
Shamash represents the brilliant light of the sun, which returns
every day to illuminate the life of mankind, as well as giving
beneficial warmth, which causes plants to grow. In Akkadian
tradition he was sometimes the son of the god of heaven Anu or
of the supreme god Enlil. His principal temple was called E-babbar
(White House) at Sippar. Presumably because the sun, in its path
across the skies, see everything, Shamash came to be regarded as
the god of truth, justice and right. As a protector and destroyer
of evil, he also acted as a warrior.
Shamash enthroned with the solar disk as his symbol
Though early Egyptian sources do not offer a formal astronomy to
directly connect their gods with planets, a later Egyptian ostrakon
cited by Franz Boll identifies the sun god Ra as the Greek Kronos,
the planet Saturn.
In the Epinomis of Plato, the names of the five planets are given. In
the
earliest copies of the text, the name for the planet Saturn is Helios,
the
sun. For many years scholars considered this a mistake and the
reading was usually corrected to Kronos, the accepted Greek
name of the planet Saturn. But the identity of the sun and Saturn
occurs in other Greek texts as well: Originally, Saturn was the
sun.
The Hindus knew the planet Saturn as arka, meaning of the sun.
Certain wise men of India also asserted that Brahma, called the
true sun, was none other than Saturn.
The Sun-cross symbolized Satans rebellion against God.
Thus, we are dealing with a very serious form of idolatry in
the symbolism of the cross as a representation here of sun
worship. It must also be recalled that this process of the four
divisions of the celestial system is represented not only by the
division of Israel into the four groups of three tribes around the
tabernacle as typified by Numbers 10. It must also be understood
that the very symbols used to denote these tribes, such as the Bull
(of Ephraim), the Lion (of Judah), the Serpent/Eagle (of Dan) and the
Aquarian Man of Reuben, are themselves representative of the
divisional symbols of the Covering Cherubs of Gods Government,
represented in Revelation 4:7-9. These Lion-headed, Bull-headed,
Eagle-headed and Man-headed creatures are the four archangels,
the Seraphim or Covering Cherubs of Gods Government. Thus, by
the appropriation of the symbolism to sun worship, we are seeking
to transfer the centrality of the authority of God the Father to the
Man-headed Cherub who was Azazel, now Satan. The sun cross is,
thus, the symbol of the rebellion. This cross symbolism is then
transferred into various aspects of idolatry and is then imported into
Christianity with further idolatrous consequence. The Cross: Its Origin and Significance, Christian Churches of God:
The Kenites who claim to have descended from Cain wore the mark
of the Tau Cross, the letter of Saturn, on their foreheads.
In this overlapping form [the Star of David] is the mark of
the double messiah: the priestly messiah and the kingly
messiah. As such it is the only true sign of Jesus, and it
carries the extra meaning as being the representative of the
BRIGHT STAR OF DAVIDS LINE THAT AROSE IN THE
MORNING. If the Star of David is a symbol of the unified
messiah-ship of Jesus, it should be the mark of Christianity.
Then the question has to be, what is the symbol of Judaism?
The answer is the cross. This is the mark of the TAU and it
is this shape of cross upon which Jesus was crucified. The
TAU was the mark of Yahwehthe Kenites bore ON THEIR

Cain was the Seal of Solomon or Star of David.
Rosy Cross
Genesis of the Cosmos Paul A. LaViolette pg 177
Several key aspects of this physics of cosmogenic process are
summarized in the Rose Cross, an emblem consisting of a single
circular rose at the center of an equal-armed cross. During a lecture
in 1785, Alessandro Cagliostro, a renowned Sicilian scholar of the
esoteric, reportedly stated that the ancient magi wore the Rose
Cross around their necks on a golden chain.
Its origin was attributed to the god Hermes-Thoth, founder
of the Order of the Magi. It was said that four letters were written
between the branches of the cross, each letter expressing a mystery
of nature. According to Cagliostro, these letters, taken from the 22
character Alphabet of the Magi are as follows:
Saturn & Transformation/rebirth
Now, wherever Noah is celebrated, whether by the name of Saturn,
the hidden one,for that name was applied to him as well as to
Nimrod, on account of his having been hidden in the ark, in the
day of the Lords fierce anger,or, Oannes, or Janus, the
Man of the Sea, he is generally described in such a way as
shows that he was looked upon as Diphues, twice-born, or
regenerate. The twice-born Brahmins, who are all so many
gods upon earth, by the very title they take to themselves, show
that the god whom they represent, and to whose prerogatives they
lay claim, had been known as the twice-born god.
The connection of regeneration with the history of Noah,
comes out with special evidence in the accounts
handed down to us of the Mysteries as celebrated in Egypt. The
most learned explorers of Egyptian antiquities, including Sir
Gardiner Wilkinson, admit that the story of Noah was mixed up with
the story of Osiris. The ship of Isis, and the coffin of Osiris, floating
on the waters, point distinctly to that remarkable event. There were
different periods, in different places in Egypt, when the fate of Osiris
was lamented; and at one time there was more special reference to
the personal history of the mighty hunter before the Lord, and at
another to the awful catastrophe through which Noah passed. In the
great and solemn festival called The Disappearance of Osiris, it is
evident that it is Noah himself who was then supposed to have been
lost. The time when Osiris was shut up in his coffin, and when that
coffin was set afloat on the waters, as stated by Plutarch, agrees
exactly with the period when Noah entered the ark. That time was
the 17th day of the month Athyr, when the overflowing of the Nile
had ceased, when the nights were growing long and the days
decreasing. The month Athyr was the second month after the
autumnal equinox, at which time the civil year of the Jews and the
patriarchs began. According to this statement, then, Osiris was
shut up in his coffin on the 17th day of the second month of the
patriarchal year. Compare this with the Scriptural account of Noahs
entering into the ark, and it will be seen how remarkably they agree
(Gen 7:11), In the six hundredth year of Noahs life, in the SECOND
MONTH, in the SEVENTEENTH DAY of the month, were all the
fountains of the great deep broken up; in the self- same day entered
Noah into the ark. The period, too, that Osiris (otherwise Adonis)
was believed to have been shut up in his coffin, was precisely the
same as Noah was confined in the ark, a whole year. *
* APOLLODORUS. THEOCRITUS, Idyll. Theocritus is speaking of
Adonis as delivered by Venus from Acheron, or the infernal regions,
after being there for a year; but as the scene is laid in Egypt, it is
evident that it is Osiris he refers to, as he was the Adonis of the
Egyptians.
Now, the statements of Plutarch demonstrate that, as Osiris at this
festival was looked upon as dead and buried when put into his ark or
coffin, and committed to the deep, so, when at length he came out
of it again,that new state was regarded as a state of new
life, or REGENERATION. *
There seems every reason to believe that by the ark and the flood
God actually gave to the patriarchal saints, and especially to
righteous Noah, a vivid typical representation of the power of the
blood and Spirit of Christ, at once in saving from wrath, and
cleansing from all sina representation which was a most cheering
seal and confirmation to the faith of those who really believed. To
this Peter seems distinctly to allude, when he says, speaking of this
very event, The like figure whereunto baptism doth also now save
us. Whatever primitive truth the Chaldean priests held, they utterly
perverted and corrupted it. They willingly overlooked the fact, that it
was the righteousness of the faith which Noah had before the
flood, that carried him safely through the avenging waters of that
dread catastrophe, and ushered him, as it were, from the womb of
the ark, by a new birth, into a new world, when on the ark resting on
Mount Ararat, he was released from his long confinement. They led
their votaries to believe that, if they only passed through the
baptismal waters, and the penances therewith connected, that of
itself would make them like the second father of mankind,
Diphueis, twice-born, or regenerate, would entitle them to all
the privileges of righteous Noah, and give them that new birth
(palingenesia) which their consciences told them they so much
needed. The Papacy acts on precisely the same principle; and from
this very source has its doctrine of baptismal regeneration been
derived, about which so much has been written and so many
controversies been waged. Let men contend as they may, this, and
this only, will be found to be the real origin of the anti- Scriptural
dogma.
As can be seen above, Janus is connected with resurrection and
rebirth. The spirit of this can be seen in New Years resolutions.
Man attempting to change himself through his own strength. This is
the ultimate meaning of this holiday. It represents the
regeneration of unregenerate man without Messiah. It is by mans
own power.eating from the tree of knowledge.
Two Babylons pg 244
Saturn, the hidden god,the god of the Mysteries, whom the Pope
represents, whose secrets were revealed only to the initiated,was
identical with Janus, who was publicly known to all Rome, to the
uninitiated and initiated alike, as the grand Mediator, the opener
and the shutter, who had the key of the invisible world. Now, what
means
the name Janus? That name, as Cornificius in Macrobius shows, was
properly Eanus; and in ancient Chaldee, E-anush signifies the Man.
By that very name was the Babylonian beast from the sea called,
when it first made its appearance * The name, as given in Greek by
Berosus, is O-annes; but this is just the very way we might expect
He-anesth, the man, to appear in Greek. He-siri, in Greek,
becomes Osiris; and He-sarsiphon, Osarsiphon; and, in like
manner, Heanesh naturally becomes Oannes. In the sense of a
Man-god, the name Oannes
is taken by Barker (Lares and Penates). We find the conversion of
the H into O among our own immediate neighbours, the Irish; what
is now OBrien and OConnell was originally HBrien and HConnell
(Sketches of Irish History). The name E-anush, or the Man, was
applied to the Babylonian Messiah, as identifying him with the
promised seed of the Woman. The name of the Man, as applied to
a god, was intended
to designate him as the god-man. We have seen that in India the
Hindoo Shasters bear witness, that in order to enable the gods to
overcome their enemies, it was needful that the Sun, the
supreme divinity, should be incarnate, and born of a Woman. The
classical nations had a legend of precisely the same nature. There
was a current tradition in heaven, says Apollodorus, that the
giants could never be conquered except by the help of a man. That
man, who was believed to have conquered the adversaries
of the gods, was Janus, the god-man. In consequence of his
assumed character and exploits, Janus was invested with high
powers, made the keeper of the gates of heaven, and arbiter of
mens eternal destinies. Of this Janus, this Babylonian man, the
Pope, as we have seen, is the legitimate representative; his key,
therefore, he bears, with that of Cybele, his mother-wife; and to all
his blasphemous pretensions he at this hour lays claim. The very
fact, then, that the Pope founds his claim to universal homage on
the possession of the keys of heaven, and that in a sense which
empowers him, in defiance of every principle of Christianity, to open
and shut the gates of glory, according to his mere sovereign will and
pleasure, is a striking and additional proof that he is that head of the
beast from the sea, whose number, as identified with Janus, is the
number of a man, and amounts exactly to 666.
But there is something further still in the name of Janus or Eanus,
not to be passed over. Janus, while manifestly worshipped as the
Messiah or god-man, was also celebrated as Principium Decorum,
the source and fountain of all the Pagan gods. We have already in
this character
traced him backward through Cush to Noah; but to make out his
claim to this high character, in its proper completeness, he must be
traced even further still. The Pagans knew, and could not but know,
at the time the Mysteries were concocted, in the days of Shem and
his brethren, who, through the Flood, had passed from the old world
to the new, the whole story of Adam, and therefore it was
necessary, if a deification of mankind there was to be, that his preeminent dignity, as the human Father of gods and men, should not
be ignored. Nor was it. The
Mysteries were full of what he did, and what befel him; and the
name E-anush, or, as it appeared in the Egyptian form, Phanesh,
The man, was only another name for that of our great progenitor.
The name of Adam in the Hebrew of Genesis almost always occurs
with the article
before it, implying The Adam, or The man. There is this
difference, howeverThe Adam refers to man unfallen, E-anush,
The man, to fallen man. E-anush, then, as Principium
decorum, The fountain and father of the gods, is FALLEN Adam.
*
* Anesh properly signifies only the weakness or frailty of fallen
humanity; but any one who consults OVID, Fashti, as to the
character of Janus, will see that when E-anush was deified, it was
not simply as Fallen man with his weakness, but Fallen man
with his corruption.
The principle of Pagan idolatry went directly to exalt fallen
humanity, to consecrate its lusts, to give men license to live after
the flesh, and yet, after such a life, to make them sure of eternal
felicity. E-anus, the fallen man, was set up as the human Head of
this system of corruption this Mystery of Iniquity. Now, from this
we come to see the real meaning of the name, applied to the
divinity commonly worshipped in Phrygia along with Cybele in the
very same character as
this same Janus, who was at once the Father of the gods, and the
Mediatorial divinity. That name was Atys, or Attis, or Attes, * and the
meaning will evidently appear from the meaning of the
well-known Greek word Ate, which signifies error of sin, and is
obviously derived from the Chaldean Hata, to sin.
The Christmas Tree
The feast of Christmas is, in allegorical form, the pagan celebration
of the Serpents eventual triumph over the very God who frustrated
the Babylonian attempt to build a tower to heaven (symbolized by a
tree). By reviving and restoring the mystery religions as they were
practiced in the pre-flood civilization, Horus became the Egyptian
savior and virtual counterpart of Jesus Christ. In her Theosophical
Glossary, H.P. Blavatsky thus describes Horus:
Horus (Eg.). The last in the line of divine Sovereigns in Egypt, said
to be the son of Osiris and Isis. He is the great god loved of
Heaven, the beloved of the Sun, the offspring of the gods, the
subjugator of the world. At the time of the Winter Solstice (our
Christmas), his image in the form of a small newly-born infant, was
brought out from the sanctuary for the adoration of the worshipping
crowds
In pagan Rome, the celebration of the Winter Solstice began on
December 17 with the feast of Saturn also called the Saturnalia.
Through December 23rd, the Roman world engaged in merrymaking
and the exchanging of gifts in honor of Saturn, the god of sowing
and husbandry and, according to a Rosicrucian source, to
commemorate a future Golden Age of Saturn:

Saturn is an important key to understanding the long heritage this
conspiracy has back to antiquity. The city of Rome was originally
known as Saturnia or City of Saturn. The Roman Catholic church
retains much of the Saturn worship in its ritual. Saturn also relates
to Lucifer.13 In
various occult dictionaries Saturn is associated with evil. Saturn was
important to the religion of Mithra, and also the Druids. click here
From James Fausset Brown commentary on Amos 5:26
the star of your god R. Isaac Caro says all the astrologers
represented Saturn as the star of Israel. Probably there was a figure
of a star on the head of the image of the idol, to represent the
planet Saturn; hence images correspond to star in the parallel
clause. A star in hieroglyphics represents God (Num_24:17).
Images are either a Hebraism for image, or refer to the many
images made to represent Chiun.
John Gill commentary on Amos 5:26
the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves; or the star your
god (q); meaning the same with Chiun or Saturn; perhaps the
same with the star that fell from the air or sky*, mentioned by
Sanchoniatho (r); which Astarte, the wife of Chronus or Saturn,
is said to take and consecrate in Tyre; this they made for
themselves, and worshipped as a deity.
Secret Teachings of All Ages Manly Hall pg 280
since the beginning of all things were under the control of Saturn,
the most reasonable inference is that the first forms of worship were
dedicated to him and his peculiar symbol the stone.

Saturn :: Lead
Saturn corresponds to the metal Lead, the elemental separating
force of Salt(), and the imprisonment of the Spirit and the Soul . The
glyph alludes to this fallen state of man as the elements (+) are
displayed in dominion over the passive Lunar consciousness of
Spirit (). It is what the Orphic mysteries called the titanic corporal
body and the tomb of the Spirit
Unlike the other classical planets, Saturns synodic cycle does not
produce a coherent geometric form- it is always in fractional state
continuing for 360 years at which point the 360-pronged geometry
of the Saturn ecliptic cycles completely engulfs the ecliptic circle
into a black mass of connecting lines. This in one sense represents
the bindings and restrictions of the karmic universe and the human
condition of being entombed in the life-death cycles, and in another
sense is equated with the Philosophers stone as hiding the principle
by which the initiate can unshackle the bonds of terminal existence
and obtain true spiritual immortality (Gold hidden in Saturn). The
dual nature of Saturn relates to the Greek Khronos as the syncretic
form of the Titan Kronos (temporal and material Demiurge) with the
Orphic on Chronos (timeless and incorporeal). Thus, in Saturn
we find the sacred black stone of the Alchemist said to have
fallen from the heavens.Isaac the Hollander writes:
From Saturn proceeds, and from Saturn is made, the Philosophers
Stone.There is no greater secret that this: that is found is Saturn,
since in the Sun [the vulgar Sun, that is to say in the intellectual
faculties of external consciousness] we do not find the perfection
that we find in Saturn. In its interior, and in this all the Philosophers
agree, it is a most excellent SunIn truth, Saturn is the stone that
the ancient philosophers did not want to name. (as quoted in Evola,
1995:80).
The Stone & the Grail

Quoting from Perlesvaus pg. 359
Well I know that many brave knights dwell with the Grail at
Munsalvaesche. Always when they ride out, as they often do, it is to
seek adventure. They do so for their sins, these templars, whether
their reward be defeat or victory. A valiant hose lives there, and I
will tell you how they are sustained. They live from a stone of
purest kind. If you know not know it, it shall here be named to
you. It is called lapsit exillis. By the power of that stone the
phoenix burns to ashes, but the ashes give him life again. Thus
does the phoenix molt and change its plumage, which afterward is
bright and shining and as lovely as before. There never was a
human so ill but that, if he on day sees that stone, he cannot die
within the week that follows. And in looks he will not fade. His
appearance wills tay the same as when the best years of his life
began, and though he should see the stone for two hundred years, it
will never change, save that his hair might perhaps turn gray. Such
power does the stone give a man that flesh and bones are at once
made young again. The stone is called the Grail.
Lapsit exillis might be a corruption of lapis ex caelis stone from
the heavens. It might also be a corruption of lapsit ex caelis it
fell from heaven; or of lapis lapsus ex caelus- a stone fallen
from heaven; or, finally, of lapis elixir -the fabulous Philosophers
Stone of alchemy.The Philosophers stone will need to be
discussed in more detail in a future study, but it points to the
evolution of man into a god. DNA is a stone, when it is mixed
with the stone from heaven the Holy Grail or transformation is
attained. This is what Christmas is a foreshadow of. The return of
the age of Saturn. The age of Aquarius. The golden age of the
gods.
The Stone of Destiny
As seen above, the golden calves (which represent Saturn) of
Jeroboam were set up in Bethel. Bethel is where the ladder that
Jacob saw. The Stone of Destiny is falsely purported to be Jacobs
stone; said to have been removed by Jeremiah to Ireland.
The Stone of Destiny was used to crown the Merovingian kings
purported to be descendants of King David of Israel.
Judahs Sceptre and Josephs Birthright
Hence, if this Coronation Stone which is in Westminsteris indeed
what these names [Stone of Destiny, etc.] and what its history
declare it to be, then it is indeed the veritable throne of Israel, upon
which the sons of David were formally crowned in the Temple of God
at Jerusalem.
Bloodline of the Holy Grail
This most sacred of Scots treasures had been brought to Scotland
from Irelandin the 5th century, having originally been carried to
Ireland from Judah in about 586 BC. The venerated holy relic was
said to be the Stone of the Covenant, known as Jacobs Pillow (Gen.
28:18-22), on which Jacob laid his head and saw the ladder reaching
up to Heaven at Bethel. God promised Jacob that his seed would
generate the line of kingship to follow
The Stone of Destiny has been a stone of contention between the
British monarchy and Scotland; the controversy will end when a
counterfeit Michael the Archangel is manifested as one of Satans
spiritual hierarchy. (See: Council of Nine 10.F; War Against the
Dragon 13.D)
On declaring himself Overlord of Scotland in 1296, Edward I of
England stole what he thought was the Stone of Destiny. What he
actually got was a piece of sandstone from a monastery doorway,
which has since rested beneath the Coronation Throne at
Westminster Abbey. This piece of rubble is 26 inches long by 11
inches deep (c. 66x 28 cm) and weighs about 335 lbs (c. 152 kg).
Royal seals of the early Scots kings depict a much larger installation
rock, but this rock was not the sacred Stone of Destiny no more
than is the medieval masonry prize of King Edward. The real Stone
of Destiny is said to be smaller, more naturally rounded, and is of
inscribed black basalt, not of hand-cut sandstone. It was hidden by
the Cistercian Abbot of Scone in 1296, and it has remained hidden
ever since. The Columbian tradition tells us that, on secreting the
Stone, the Abbot prophesied that one day The Michael would
return to his inheritance.
In the occult, Michael is a code name for Saturn, the counterfeit
YHWH. More on this below.
The Stone of Destiny will be moved to Jerusalem to be the
enthroning stone of the kings of Jerusalem and to bear witness to
the false messiah.
The Stone of Destiny Jack Phillips
This Stonewill not be used ever again in the crowning of an
earthly king because it has been announced that it will go on
permanent display in Edinburgh, Scotland. Therefore, this move
obviously ended the Stones role in the crowning of kings, ending
with King George VI in 1936 the last king crowned over the Stone.
That being the case, Messiah, according to Ezekiel, will be the next
King over the House of David . . . so, the third overturn is yet in
effect. In light of these facts, as stated last month, this move (after
some 700 years) would seem to be significant as to just how close
the Lords return could be. In other words, from Zedekiah forward,
Israel, as a nation, would have no king until Messiah comes (Gen.
49:10) and true to prophecy, that has been the case. This means
that the scattered and divided kingdom of Israel must be restored
and Christ installed as her Kingthe most holy Dan. 9:24..
and one king (Christ) shall be king to them all (Shiloh; Whose
right the Stone of Destiny represents). So, this movement of the
Stone of Destiny could very well be the beginning of a chain of
events to shape the world and prepare His remnant today for the
things about to come to pass; the false Messiah shall come first and
try to fake uniting the people (Dan.9:27) under the promised
covenant of peace, but he will fail.
The Grail connection
The Merovingian bloodlineclick here and Holy Grail click here teach
of this earthly kingdom that descends from King David through
Adonai Yahshua.
The Grail -William Henry
By strict definition the Grail is a Philosophers or Alchemists
Stone that can turn one element into another. The word grail is
phonetically similar to grael, old French for stone. As all Grail
knights learn, the Grail is also known as the Stone of God that fell
from Heaven.
In ancient Irish (Iris) religion and mythology Tara was also the sacred
home for the Ari (later the Ari-ish or Irish) who ranked below the Illi
gods, yet above the people. Ireland (Ari-Land) takes its name from
the Aris (lion / ili-on in Hebrew) or Arians. Ireland is considered the
Great Motherland of the Aryan race, otherwise known as
Atlantisclick here, Thuleclick here
or Tula William Henry (The Secret Throne of the Illuminati
Discovered)
In medieval times, the line of Messianic descent was defined by the
French word Sangreal deriving from the two words Sang Real,
meaning Blood Royal. This was the Blood Royal of Judah: the kingly
line of David which progressed through Jesus and his heirs. In
English translation, the definition Sangreal became San Graal (as in
San Francisco). When written more fully it was Saint Grail the
word saint, of course, relating to holy. Then, by a natural linguistic
process, came the more romantically familiar term, Holy Grail.
Laurence Gardner Bloodline of the Holy Grail
This bloodline also connects to the de Medici family which supported
Christopher Columbus and produced Catherine de Medici, the Queen
of France who died in 1589. Her doctor was Nostradamus: It includes
Rene dAnjou, Duke of Lorraine, and the House of Lorraine which
employed Nostradamus and Christopher Columbus. The bloodline
relatives of the de Medicis and the House of Lorraine, Queen Isabella
of Castile and King Ferdinand of Spain, were also sponsors of
Columbus when he discovered the Americas.
According to William Henry, Ireland is considered the Great
Motherland of the Aryan race, otherwise known as Atlantis. America
is the new atlantisclick here. Is it a coincidence then that these
powerful bloodline families would be the ones to sponsor Columbus
on his way to the Americas?
This bloodline also includes:
1. the Habsburgs, the most powerful family in Europe under the Holy
Roman Empire
2. Geoffrey Plantagenet and the Plantagenet royal dynasty in
England
3. King John, who signed the Magna Carta
4. King Henry Ist, II, and III, who were extremely close to the Knights
Templar, as was King John

etc. etc.
The Imperial and Royal Dragon Court of the Dragon Sovereignty
-Nicholas De Vere
When the Imperial and Royal Dragon Court was reconstituted by
King Sigismund in 1408 as the Societas Draconis, it was based upon
an ancient bloodline tradition which Sigismund assumed that he had
inherited from his presumed Egyptian and Scythian ancestors
through the Pictish, Dragon Princess Maelasanu of Northumbria and
the Ancient and Original Angevin Royal House of Vere of Anjou, the
Imperial Dukes of Angiers.
This line had descended through the Tuatha de Danaan (the
Dragon Kings of Anu) on the one hand, and the Egyptian
Dragon Dynasty of Sobek on the other. The latter strain
included the bloodline of the Davidic House of Judah who
married into the descent of the Merovingian Kings of the
Franks.
The legends of the Grail clearly pertain to figures related to some
purported lineage, as well as including allusions to the Order of
Templar Knights and doctrines of the Cathars. There are also evident
links between the ideas present in the Grail and the Kabbalah.
Wolfram von Eschenbach, the most famous of the Mediaeval Grail
romances, claimed to have received his information from a Jew
named Flegetanis. Furthermore, the Grail of Eschenbach
corresponds almost perfectly with the symbols the grade of
Kabbalistic of initiation known as Tiferet, consisting of a
kind of sacrificial death, and rebirth or resurrection into
another dimension. As the authors explain:
For the medieval Kabalists the initiation into Tiferet was associated
with certain specific symbols. These included a hermit or guide or
wise old man, a majestic king, a child, a sacrificed god. In time other
symbols were added as well a truncated pyramid, for example, a
cube and a rose cross. The relation of these symbols to the
romances is sufficiently apparent. In every Grail narrative there is a
wise old hermit Percevals or Parzivals uncle frequently who
acts as a spiritual guide. In Wolframs poem the Grail as stone
may possibly correspond to the cube.

Amo 5:26 Yea, you have lifted up the booth of your king,
and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you
made for yourselves!
Footnote in the JPS pocket edition of the Tanakh on Amos 5:26
astral deity Saturn-R. Isaac Caro says all the astrologers
represented Saturn as the star of Israel.
In Jewish thought 666 is a positive number pointing to the Messiah
and the Messianic kingdom
Joh 5:43 I have come in the name of My Father, and you do
not receive Me. If another comes in his own name, you will
receive that one.
http://ohr.edu/ask_db/ask_main.php/277/Q1/
The number 666 has significance as the numerical value of the
Hebrew verse: Ata yigdal na koach Ado-nai Now, I pray, let the
Power of my Lord be great. (Numbers 14:17). This was Moshes
prayer invoking Divine Mercy on behalf of the Jewish People.
Mosad Hayesod cites the Vilna Gaons commentary on the
Zohar that the number 666 contains hidden within it
exalted and lofty messianic potential. No other explanation is
offered there.
We do know that the number six represents the physical world. The
Torah describes the creation of the universe as a six part, six day,
process. Our ancient sources describe the universe as emanating in
six directions north, south, east, west, up, down from a central
point. All physical space and all physical objects have these six
dimensions.
666 is six repeated three times. Repeating a concept three times
represents the affirmation and strength of that concept. The
number 666 could thus represent the strength and
perfection of the physical world, which Judaism teaches will
occur in the messianic era, when the physical world will
reach its ultimate purpose, to be a vehicle through which
the created experience the Creator.

The Hebrew Letters
Shin: The Eternal Flame
http://www.inner.org/HEBLETER/SHIN.HTM
The letter shin appears engraved on both sides of the head- tefilin.
On the right side, the shin possesses three heads, while on the left
side it possesses four heads. In Kabbalah we are taught that the
three-headed shin is the shin of this world while the four- headed
shin is the shin of the World to Come.
http://www.soul-guidance.com/houseofthesun/treeoflifeletters.htm
Shin is the twenty first letter, and symbolizes the Spirit, the Spiritual
Fire, The Flaming Sword. It is said that when Shin is not in the
middle of a word it turns to anger and resentment. When in the
middle of a word, it is the central equilibrating fire. For example is
the word Moses, which is M Sh H, or Yeheshuah, which is Y H Sh V H.
Shin also stands for the Shekinah.
Shin
The image of the letter Shin is a tooth. The form of this letter refers
to the three roots of the molars. Shin has also its traditional
meaning of the Cosmic Fire or the Fiery Spirit, the Holy Spirit.
Because the tooth or the molar refers to the taking of food, to
eating, to taking in, it indicates, in combination with its other
meaning, the reception of Cosmic Fire. It is the influx of the Holy
Spirit that flowed into the heads of the Apostles, shown as a flame
above each of their heads.
The body has taken in the Fiery Spirit. This Fire or Shin is the
dynamic movement in the Universe and its active and expansive
forces. With this fire one dances on the World. Shin is the movement
of everything that exists. Shin vivifies all beings great or small. It is
the Cosmic Snake or the Cosmic Dragon.
The shape of Shin also refers to the Trinity, here in its fiery
aspect, the descending Dove. Its shape is composed of three
Vaus, placed next to each other, giving the number 666,
which is the number of the Sun, and also of the Beast of the
Book of Revelation of John. The number 666 is not evil as it
is often thought, it is a number of mystery.
The three flames in the letter Shin are also explained as being
representations of the Od or the active force of life, the Ob or the
passive force of life, and the Aur or the balancing force of life.
The connection of the shin and tefillin/mezuzot to the mark of the
beast will be addressed in greater detail in a future study, Yah
willing. In short it is another connection to the mark of the beast
which is a counterfeit versus the mark of YHWH which is the reality.
In the end it comes down to the original choice that mankind had.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil or the tree of life. The
prophet Isaiah declares that the end is told from the beginning. The
first test and the last test of mankind will be the same. To choose
the tree of Life who is Messiah Yahshua, who alone can offer eternal
life, or the tree of knowledge of good and evil which is counterfeit
divinity offered by the serpent.
Gnostics and Their Remains Ancient and Mediaeval pg 241
Inasmuch as the genius of the planet Saturn, or Kronos, was
held by the Talmudists to be good and pure, contrary to those
of the other planets, the Four-winged image, so common upon
Gnostic gems, may reasonably be considered as a copy from the
ancient original, devised by Taut. Saturn, the sole inspirer of the
Law and the Prophets, had special claims to the veneration
of the Alexandrine Kabbalists. And this belief explains wherefore
Valentinus fixed upon this planet for the abode of Ildabaoth,the
Giver of the Law to the Children of Israel in the Wilderness.
Kabbalistic Tree of Life
The Symbolism of the Rose-Cross
The basic rose cross symbol is that of a rose appended to the
junction of the two lines of the cross the center point. But the
traditional Rosicrucian symbol is a cross of 6 squares whereon is a
red rose of five petals. The cross is of 6 squares for a number of
reasons. It relates the cross to the number six which is the number
of the Tree of life Sphere to which it corresponds, that is, the Sphere
of Tiphareth (Beauty) also known as the Sphere of the Sun. The
cross of six squares is also the unfolded cube of six faces. The
perfect cube has been used to represent the Holy of Holies since Old
Testament times. We know the tabernacle was 10 cubits in length,
breadth, and height. The Sanctum Sanctorum of Solomons Temple
likewise was cubically shaped using the measure of 20 cubits (666).
In Revelation (21:17-18) the New Jerusalem is likened to a perfect
cube of pure gold. Gold is related to the cube, cross, and Sun sphere
for a number of reasons. Gold is the metal associated with the sun.
But also Qabalistically, the cube unfolds to a cross of six; this means
that the units around the cross (the perimeter) add up to 14. The
Hebrew word zahab means gold and the letters of the word add up
to 14 (Zain + Heh + Beth or 7 + 5 + 2 = 14). In addition, all these
symbols that correspond to six correspond geometrically to the
hexagram.
Tipharet = the Bull/Golden Calf = the hexagram
Initiation in the Aeon of the Child - J. Daniel Gunther
In Kabbalistic thought, Saturn is linked YHWH.
In Gnosticism, in specific the Ophites, it is said that YHWH is
synonymous with Saturn.
Ariel Guttman and Kenneth Johnson in Mythic Astrology state that
the Gnostics and early Kabbalists viewed Saturn as Yahweh of the
Old Testament, the tyrannical father God obsessed with rigid
enforcement of the law. Saturns association with Yahweh is
recognized with the Sabbath Yahwehs holy day, devoted to
Saturday, Saturns Day.
Origen says that the Ophite demiurge had the face of a lion and was
connected with Saturn, and this has led some scholars to conclude
that Jaldabaoth* was a combination of Baal and Kronos. John of
Damascus says that the Phoenicians held Kronos to be a kind of
demiurge, and because Saturday was the day of Yahweh and the
day of Saturn, the two were welded together. Given the synchretism
that plagued Israel throughout much of her history, its not
surprising that the result could be Ophite or gnostic.

Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capitol pg 366
The learned Albert Pike (who, toward the end of his life, looked
closely into Sanskrit to study the most ancient traditions behind
such things) called the planetary angels Amshaspends. Following
tradition, he named the leader of the group with the Hebraic
title Ialdabaoth. The mighty beings were said to be six in number,
attendant upon the sun-being Ahura Mazda, of which he is a
synthesis, and numbered as the seventh. In fact, Pike seems to
have been more interested in the functions of the angels than in
their many nomenclatures. He emphasized that the function of the
angels was to furnish [mankind] the means of exercising [its]
liberty. He insists that those souls that are purified through this
contact with light will rise heavenward, while those that persevere in
evil will be chained to the body of the passions, from lifetime to
lifetime. He recognized that, in this belief, he was not in any way
divergin from the familiar lineaments of early Christian doctrine.
The Russin H.P. Blavatsky, writing at almost the same time as Pike,
admitted that these spiritual beings are the Cosmocratores, or
builders. She seems to have been just as alert as Pike to the fact
that the seven planetary angels had been dealth with by Trithemius,
who had named the leader of his Secundadeians Michael. They both
recognized that Trithemius had sepcified 1881 as marking an
important turn in Western civilization.
Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capitol pg 30
Esotericists (of which there were many in the United States at that
time) knew that this was the year [1881] which the great 15th
century abbot and occultist, Trithemius von Nettesheim, had
predicted would mark a fundamental turning point in history.
Rosicrucian Thomas Henry Burgoyne in the 19th century spoke of
the Dark Age (Iron Age) was coming to a close and the new Age of
Gold was to begin in 1881.
Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capitol pg 30
Trithemius and, later, his followers insisted that under the rule
of this planetary angel there would be inaugurated an exciting
change of direction for mankind. The angel Michael was dedicated
to the expansion of human consciousness, and freedom.
Furthermore, it would be during the Age of the Sun, which would
begin in 1881, that the Jews would return to their homeland.
Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capitol pg 32
[Albert] Pike spurned the name Michael, and harked back to an
older tradition which named the leader of the
angels Ialdabaoth. Pike was using ancient terminologies from the
ancient Mystery lore, but he knew full well from his wide reading of
French occultist Eliphas Levi that Trithemius had called the angel
Michael, and that he was the ruler of the Sun, and of fire* Madame
Blavatsky, writing at almost the same time as Pike, admitted that
the spiritual beings who ruled the ages were the prototypes of the
Seven Spirits of the Catholic Church: she saw Michael as the
personified creation of the envoy Ilda-Baoth, and guardian angel of
the Jews.
Blavatsky wrote a letter to the Bombay Gazette in Marh 1881 about
the significance of the year 1881.
Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capitol pg 32
She saw it as the correct number of the three figures which have
most perplexed mystics and Christians for no less than sixteen of
seventeen centuries including the great Newton. She insisted (in
a somewhat tortuous argument) that the four-cypher 1881 was the
equivalent of the three-cypher 666 the number of the Great Beast
of the biblical Revelation.
*Fire = Shin = Tooth = Sirius
As seen above, the letter shin represents both fire and the tooth.
1881 was birth of the false state of Israel.
The First Aliyah (also The Farmers Aliyah) was the first modern
widespread wave of Zionist aliyah. Jews who migrated to Palestine in
this wave came mostly from Eastern Europe and from Yemen. This
wave of aliyah began in 188182 and lasted until 1903.
The First Aliyah laid the cornerstone for Jewish settlement in Israel
and created several settlements Rishon LeZion, Rosh Pina, Zikhron
Yaaqov, Gedera etc.
Most settlements met with financial difficulties and most of the
settlers were not proficient in farming. Baron Edmond James de
Rothschild took several of the settlements under his wing,
which helped them survive until more settlers with farming
experience arrived in subsequent aliyot.

In 1822 it [the Six-Pointed Star] was adopted by the Rothschild
family and put on their coat of arms It began in 17th century
Frankfurt, Germany, where Mayer Amschel Bauer hung a red
hexagramon his door to identify his address. Soon after this [he]
began supplying coins to Prince William of Hanau and upon
becoming supplier to the court, he changed his family name to Roth
and Schild and Schild, meaning Red Shield.
[N.B. Rothschild actually means "Ruth's Child" and refers to the
lineage of David and Solomon whose ancestor was Ruth (I Chron.
2:12-15)

even the guardian of the treasury."

In 1836, [Zevi] Kalischer appealed to Mayer Amschel (Rothschild)
to buy out completely the land of Israel or at least Jerusalem and
particularly the Temple area in order to bring about the miraculous
redemption from below. Zevi Kalischer said the salvation promised
by the prophets of old could come only gradually and by self-help
from the Jews.

According to eye-witnesses, who were prominent enough to visit one
of the British Rothschild homes, the Rothschilds worship yet another
god too, Satan. They set a place for him at their table.
The Rothschilds have been Satanists for many generations. The
Rothschilds are an important part of the history of the Seal of
Solomon (also known as hexagram, Magen David, six-pointed star,
Star of
David.) The Seal of Solomon, the hexagram, was not considered a
Jewish symbol before the Rothschilds began using it. Throughout
the Middle Ages the Seal of Solomon had been used by Arab
Magicians, Cabalist Magicians, Druid witches and Satanists. One of
the few ancient uses of the symbol was on the floor of a 1,200 year
old Moslem Mosque found where Tel Aviv is today.10 In the twelve
century an Ashkenazic Jew Menahem ben Duji, who thought he was
the Messiah, used the magical symbol.
Because the Rothschilds were Satanists they adopted this powerful
magic symbol in 1822 for their coat- of-arms. The name they
adopted for their family actually comes from the fact that in the
17th century Mayer Amschel Bauer began hanging out a red
hexagram in front of their house to identify it. Mayer Amschel then
decided to take the name red-schield (Rothschild in German) after
the red Seal of Solomon that they used. In 1836 Zevi Hirsch
Kalischer approached Rothschild and proposed Rothschild buy all of
Erez Israel. It took many years for the Rothschilds to finally create
Israel. The Rothschilds have been a primary force behind the
creation of Israel, and so it is appropriate that the nation carries
their magical Seal of Solomon as the state logo.
Anka Muhlstein wrote in her book Baron James: The Rise of the
French Rothschilds,
The success of the five brothers, who seemed to share Europe
among themselves without ever dividing their forces, fired the
imagination. The best writers of the time gave credence to the
notion of the all-powerful bankers. The Jewish banker says: [God]
has given me the royalty of wealth and the understanding of
opulence, which is the scepter of society. . . . A Jew now reigns
over the Pope and Christianity. He pays monarchs and buys
nations, stated Alfred de Vigny. Jewish polemists joined in and
declared:There is only one power in Europe, and that is
Rothschild. . . and speculation is his sword. . . . Rothschild needed
states in order to become Rothschild. . . . However, today he no
longer needs the state, but the state needs him. Heine put it more
humorously, recalling olden times when the King would have had
the teeth of M. de Rothschild pulled out had he refused a loan.
Today, Rothschild, Baron and Knight of the Order of Isabella the
Catholic, may stroll over to the Tuileries whenever it strikes his
fancy, without fear of losing even one tooth to a cash-hungry King.
Metternichs spies took the same line and in their reports feigned
surprise at the presence in James office of General Rumigny, whom
Louis-Philippe had put in charge of everything related to the Bourse.
Rothschild, wrote a certain Klindworth to Count Apponyi, the
Austrian Ambassador, places in each ministry, in every department
at all levels, his own creatures who feed him the greatest variety of
information.
While the European press devoted long articles to the Rothschild
triumphs, American newspapers, often influenced by a group of
German Jews to whom the image of an all-powerful Court Jew was
familiar, portrayed Rothschild as fabulous and fantastical: The
Rothschilds govern a Christian world. Not a cabinet moves
without their advice. They stretch their hand, with equal ease,
from Petersburg to Vienna, from Vienna to Paris, from Paris to
London, from London to Washington. Baron Rothschild, the head
of the house, is the true king of Judah, the prince of the
captivity, the Messiah so long looked for by this
extraordinary people. . . . The lion of the tribe of Judah,
Baron Rothschild, possesses more real force than David
more wisdom than Solomon. Even the wildest rumors came to
seem credible. In 1830 an American weekly reported on its
front page that the Rothschilds had purchased Jerusalem:
We see nothing improbable that in the pecuniary distress of the
sultan, he should sell some parts of his dominions to preserve the
rest; or that the Rothschilds should purchase the old capital of their
nation. They are wealthy beyond desire, perhaps even avarice; and
so situated, it is quite reasonable to suppose that they may seek
something else to gratify their ambition, that shall produce most
important effects. If secured in the possession, which may be
brought about by money, they might instantly, as it were, gather a
large nation together, soon to become capable of defending itself,
and having a wonderful influence over the commerce and condition
of the eastrendering Judah again the place of deposit of a large
portion of the wealth of the ancient world. To the sultan the country
is of no great value; but, in the hands of the Jews, directed by such
men as the Rothschilds, what might it not become, and in a short
period of time?A. Muhlstein, Baron James: The Rise of the French
Rothschilds, The Vendome Press, New York, Paris, (1982), pp. 104106.

Ashtoreth was the wife of Saturn
John Gill commentary on Amos 5:26
the star of your god {hexagram/Talisman of Saturn/seal of
Solomon/star of David}, which ye made to yourselves; or the star
your god (q); meaning the same with Chiun or Saturn; perhaps
the same with the star that fell from the air or sky, mentioned
by Sanchoniatho (r); which Astarte, the wife of Chronus or
Saturn, is said to take and consecrate in Tyre; this they made for
themselves, and worshipped as a deity.
In Kabbalistic thought, the hexagram represents the uniting of the
six sefirot of the male and the seventh sefirot of the female
(nukva).
http://www.northernway.org/hgoddess.html
A Hebrew inscription on a broken storage jar, found in Kuntillet
Ajrud in north-eastern Sinai and dated from the beginning of the
eighth century BCE has three primitive figures: a standing male
figure in the foreground; a female figure just behind him; and a
seated musician in the background. The Hebrew inscription above
the drawing reads: I bless you by Yhwh of Samaria and his Asherah
(Dever, 1984; King, 1989). Furthermore, a tomb inscription from elQom in Judea, dated to the eighth century BCE too, concludes with
the words: to Yhwh and his Asherah (Margalit, 1989, 1990 and
further references there).
The Hebrew Goddess, by Raphael Patai
Was the Hebrew God also a Woman?
The Bible gives the impression that all ancient Jews shared a
common belief system with only an occasional group straying
from the fold. But the evidence paints a different picture. As Dr.
Patai states, it would be strange if the Hebrew-Jewish religion,
which flourished for centuries in a region of intensive goddess cults,
had remained immune to them. Archaeologists have uncovered
Hebrew settlements where the goddesses Asherah and AstarteAnath were routinely worshipped. And in fact, we find that for about
3,000 years, the Hebrews worshipped female deities which were
later eradicated only by extreme pressure of the male-dominated
priesthood.
And then theres the matter of the Cherubim that sat atop the Ark of
the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. Fashioned by Phoenician
craftsmen for Solomon and Ahab, an ivory tablet shows two winged
females facing each other. And one tablet shows male and female
members of the Cherubim embracing in an explicitly sexual position
that embarrassed later Jewish historians and even the pagans
were shocked when they saw it for the first time. [The Star of David,
two triangles "embracing" became the coded symbol for God &
Goddess locked in a "creating" posture....!]
The joining of man and woman to become one. Adam Kadmon.
from sichosinenglish.org/books/highlights-of-moshiach/06.htm
In Bilaams prophetic vision, he states, There steps forth a star
from Jacob and there arises a scepter out of Israel. Targum Onkelos
notes that this star alludes to Moshiach. The Jerusalem Talmud,
however, learns that this term alludes to every Jew, inasmuch as
Jews are likened to the stars. How do we reconcile these seemingly
contradictory interpretations?
Actually, both meanings are correct. The star in our verse alludes to
both Moshiach and to every Jew, as the Meor Aynayim writes, in
name of Baal Shem Tov, that within each and every Jew there is a
`spark of the soul of Moshiach. This reconciles both aforesaid
interpretations. As such, every Jew today has the ability to rectify
the `spark of Moshiach within the soul, which originates from the
first human being Adam. Adam is an acrostic for: Adam (Alef),
David (Daled) and Moshiach (Mem).
Messianic Mystics Moshe Idel
in the context of the larger Kabbalistic viewsthe secret of the
name Adam apparently points to a well-known acronym: Adam,
David, Mashiyah.mean(ing) that Adams soul has been
reincarnated in the body of David, who will return as the Messiah
The Messiah therefore, will possess the soul that first inhabited
Adam [the primordial ideal man] and then David.
Satan/Saturn was believed to be the androgynous Adam-Eve of Gen.
1:27, aka the First Adam, heavenly Adam-Kadmon, creator of the
world.
The Saturn Myth David Talbott
The first religious symbols were symbols of Saturn, and so
pervasive was the planet-gods influence that the ancients knew him
as the creator, the king of the world, and Adam, the first man.
Adam was lord on earth, to rule and control it He is creator and
supporter of the world, whose body encloses all the elements of
life.
Saturn was the cosmic Adam Saturns identity as the Heaven
Man and first ancestor occurs again and again in Gnosticism, in
alchemy, and in the traditions of the Kabala. As the first man,
observes Jung, Adam is the homo maximus of Saturn, the
Anthropos [Man par excellence] from whom the macrocosm arose,
or who is the macrocosm. He is not only the prima materia but a
universal soul which is also the soul of all men. Saturn, Jung adds, is
a synonym for Adam and the prima materia. The planet is the
Philosophical Man or the Original Man the blessed Man on high,
the arch man Adamus.
Islamic mystics called Adam the universal man or the perfect
man upholding the Cosmos. To the Ophites of the early Christian
era, he was Adamus, the man from on high.
This quality of the central sun persists in Hebrew and Muslim
imagery of Adam, the Heaven Man. The Naasenes esteemed Adam
as the rock and cornerstone writes Jung: The stone is indeed of
supreme importance, because it fulfills the function of Adam
Kadmon as the capital stone, from which all the upper and lower
hosts in the work of creation are brought into being.
Isis Unveiled H.P. Blavatsky
The Adam Primus, or Kadmon, the Logos of the Jewish mystics, is
the same as the Grecian Prometheus, who seeks to rival with the
divine wisdom Prometheus is also the Logos of the ancient Greeks,
as well as Herakles [Hercules].
The Secret Doctrine H.P. Blavatsky
Adam is therefore in one sense Jehovah.

to Luciferians, God has a dual nature; he is the good god, Lucifer,
and the bad god, Adonay, both supposedly equal in power, yet
opposite in intent Lucifer is further divided into Isis, the female
principal, and Osiris, the male principal.
The New Age will be called the Golden Age of Adam and Saturn.
The Rosicrucian Enlightenment
So, in the Confessio, the second Rosicrucian manifesto, the general
reformation is said to presage a great influx of truth and light such
as surrounded Adam in Paradise, and which God will allow before
the end of the world. Andthis millennium, this return to the golden
age of Adam and Saturn, is said to be assisted by the high society
of the Rosicrucians who wish to turn all the mountains into gold.
The satire here associates the whole movement with a Rosicrucian
type of alchemy, for the gold referred to is not the material gold of
alchemical transmutation, but the spiritual gold of a golden age and
a return to Adamic innocence.

Pro 8:36 But he who sins against me does violence to his
own soul; all who hate me love death.
The Scriptures are clear that a holiday such as this should not be
partaken of by believers in the Elohim of Yisrael.

Etymology
Halloween comes from all Hallows eve. Hallow means holy. The
word holy comes from the Hebrew qodesh, which interestingly, can
mean holy or profane (as in a cult prostitute).
We can be set apart unto YHWH and serve Him, or we can be set
apart unto the adversary and serve him but we cant do both
(1Corinthians 10:22). Halloween was adopted into the Roman
Catholic church as the day before All Saints Day. The word saint
also comes from the above Hebrew word for holy, qodesh. This
can be applied to men who are set apart unto YHWH, or to angels.
From a study of this holiday it is clear why the Catholic church chose
the name All saints day/hallows eve for this festival, it is a
syncretism of the old customs with Biblical names. This holiday is
not about dead saints but about angels, more specifically, fallen
angels.
History of Halloween
Origin of name
The term Halloween, originally spelled Halloween, is shortened
from All Hallows Even een is a shortening of even, which is a
shortening of evening. This is ultimately derived from the Old
English Eallra Hlgena fen. It is now known as Eve of All Saints
Day, which is November 1st.
A time of pagan festivities, Pope Gregory III(731741) and Gregory
IV (827844) tried to supplant it with theChristian holiday (All Saints
Day) by moving it from May 13 to November 1.
In the 800s, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in
accordance with the Florentine Calendar. Although All Saints Day is
now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays
were once celebrated on the same day.
Halloween begins well over 2,000 years ago in the British Isles.
Here, we find the holiday stripped to its most essential element: a
night when Celtic tribes communed with the spirits of the ancestral
dead. These grand and glorious pagan celebrations were assimilated
by the Catholic church. . . Rather than extinguish old customs,
the church leaders provided Christian versions of them: from
the Middles Ages on, All Saints Day and All Souls Day
replaced the ancient Celtic celebrations of the
dead. (Bannatyne, Lesley Pratt,Halloween: An American Holiday, an
American History, Facts on File, Inc., New York, 1990 p. x)
The origin of Halloween is the Celtic Festival of Samhain (meaning
summers end), lord of death and evil spirits. Long before Messiah
(at least 2000 years), Druids in Britain, Ireland, Scotland, France,
Germany and other Celtic countries observed the end of summer by
making sacrifices to Samhain (pronounced sow-een). The Celts
considered November 1st as being the day of death because the
leaves were falling, it was getting darker sooner and temperatures
were dropping. They believed Muck Olla, their sun god was losing
strength and Samhain, lord of death, was overpowering him.
Further, they believed that on October 31st Samhain assembled the
spirits of all who had died during the previous year. These spirits had
been confined to inhabit animals bodies for the past year, as
punishment for their evil deeds. They were allowed to return to their
former home to visit the living on the eve (Oct. 31) of the Feast of
Samhain. Druid priests led the people in wicked worship ceremonies
in which horses, cats, black sheep, oxen, human beings and other
offerings were rounded up, stuffed into wicker cages and burned to
death. This was done to appease Samhain and keep spirits from
harming them. It is clear to see that HALLOWEEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A CELEBRATION OF DEATH.
Our Pilgrim forefathers well knew of Halloweens occultic
roots. In fact they banned celebrating Halloween in
America. Halloween was not celebrated in this country until 1845.
At that time multiplied thousands of Irish emigrants flooded into
New York because of the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-46. They
brought with them the old Druid holiday of Halloween. Gradually
celebrating this day spread throughout the rest of the country.
Halloween.- Celtic peoples (Britons, Gauls, Scots, Irish). They
observed the end of summer with sacrifices to SAMAN (Shamhain).
He was the lord of death and evil spirits. This marked the
beginning of the Celtic New Year.
Depending on your source material, the Druid lord of death and evil
spirits was called Saman, Samana, Shamhain or Samhain. His
holiday was called The Vigil Of Saman or Samhain (pronounced
so-wein). You probably have seen a modern day version of SAMAN
without even knowing it. This pagan god was shown as a
ghostly, skeleton holding a sickle in his hand. He later came
to be known as THE GRIM REAPERaka Saturnclick here
It is also given the name of the Angel of Death (
Malach
HaMavet) stemming from the Bible. There are numerous traditions
about the Angel of Death in Rabbinic literature. Many times the
Angel of Death is compared to satan. One such example is a story
about how the Angel of Death was not able to take the soul of
Moses, rather the Almighty drew Moses soul out of his body by a
kiss. This is very reminiscent to what Jude speaks of in Jude 1:9
From Wikipedia
In the Bible, the fourth horseman of Revelation 6 is called Death,
and is pictured with Hades following him. The Angel of the Lord
smites 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp (II Kings xix. 35). When
the Angel of Death passes through to smite the Egyptian first-born,
God prevents the destroyer (shachath) from entering houses with
blood on the lintel and side posts (Ex. xii. 23). The destroying
angel (malak ha-mashit) rages among the people in Jerusalem
(II Sam. xxiv. 16). In I Chronicle xxi. 15 the angel of the Lord is
seen by King David standing between the earth and the heaven,
having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem.
The biblical Book of Job (xxxiii. 22) uses the general term
destroyer (memitim), which tradition has identified with
destroying angels (malake Khabbalah) and Prov. xvi. 14 uses
the term the angels of death (malake ha-mavet).
The Druids They were occult practitioners, witches of sorts. In the
century preceding the birth of Christ, Caesar conquered the Britains
and he records very carefully the account of the DRUID PRIESTS
(early witches)All Gallic nations are much given to superstition
they either offer up men as victims to the gods, or make a vow to
sacrifice themselves. The ministers in these offerings are the Druids,
and they hold that the wrath of the immortal gods can only be
appeased, and mans life redeemed, by offering up human sacrifice,
and it is a part of their national institutions to hold fixed solemnities
(Ceremonies) for this purpose.
Baal worship
Holiday researcher George Douglas adds some interesting
information when he says Many of Halloweens customs are
derived from the ancient Baal Festivals. Other customs
originate from the taking of omens from the struggles of victims in
the fires of druidic sacrifices. (From: The American Book of Days, by
George William Douglas revised by Helen Douglas Compton).
Alexander Hislop in his book, The Two Babylons, says, The god
whom the Druids worshipped was Baal, as the blazing Baal-fires
show We know that they offered human sacrifices to their bloody
gods. We have evidence that they made `their children pass through
the fire to Molech, and that makes it highly probable that they also
offered them in sacrifice; for, from Jeremiah 32:35, compared with
Jeremiah 19:5, we find that these two things were parts of one and
the same system. Further, it is to be noted that the priests of
Nimrod or Baal were necessarily required to eat of the human
sacrifices; and thus it has come to pass that `Cahna-Bal, (Cahna is
the emphatic form of Cahn which means `a priest) meaning the
priest of Baal, is the established word in our tongue for a devourer
of human flesh. (from The Two Babylons, Hislop. See page 232).
On November first was Samhain [Halloween] . . . Fires were built as
a thanksgiving to Baal. . . (Kelley, Ruth Edna, The Book of
Halloween, Lothrop, Lee and Shepard Co. Boston, 1919)
The mystic rites and ceremonies with which Hallowen was originally
observed had their origin among the Druids . . . ancient Baal
festivals from which many of the Hallowen customs are derived.
(Douglas, George William. The American Book of Days, p. 569)
Trick or Treat
Sacrifices Druid priests and people would go from house to house
asking for fatted calves, black sheep, and human beings. Those who
gave were promised prosperity and those who refused to give were
cursed and threatened. In addition, it was likely that all of the
wandering spirits would get hungry. If you set out a treat for them,
they would not trick or curse you. Hence we have THE ORIGIN OF
TRICK OR TREAT. Trick or Treat is a reenactment of the
Druidic practices. The candy has replaced the human
sacrifices of old, but it is still an appeasement of those
deceptive evil spirits. The traditional response to those who do
not treat is to have a trick played on the. When you give out
Halloween candy, you are, in essence providing a sacrifice to
false gods. You are participating in idolatry says the former high
priest of Wicca, Tom Sanguinet.
According to Doc Marquis, this phrase trick or treat was used by
Druid priests on the eve of Samhain when arriving at the homes of
their victims. If the resident of the house choose treat, the lord of
the manor would give the druids a member of his household as a
human sacrifice offering that night. The druids would leave a treat,
a hallowed out pumpkin filled with human fat and lit it up. This was
to serve as a protection against the demonic forces unleashed that
night. The trick was if the resident did not agree to their
terms. The druids would paint a hexagram on the residents
door with human blood to summon demons to this plane of
existence to kill someone at that home.
This sounds a lot like Passover and putting the blood of the lamb on
the doorpost so that the Angel of Death would pass over your
home. Here we see the blood painted on the door so that death
would come to the persons home. Yet another perversion of
principles set forth in the Torah. When you study the customs of the
heathen this is seen over and over again. It is also interesting that a
hexagramclick here was placed upon the victims door as this is a
perfect picture of the mark of the beast which is nothing more than
a counterfeit of the mark of YHWH.
Passover/Chag HaMatzot is a mark of YHWH
Exo 13:6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and
in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
Exo 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and
there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither
shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
Exo 13:8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying,
This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me
when I came forth out of Egypt.
Exo 13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine
hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the
LORDS law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand
hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
At Pesach the blood was applied to the doors unto LIFE. At
Halloween, the blood is applied to the doors unto DEATH. This is
what it all comes down to. The way of truth which leads unto life or
the way of falsehood which leads to death.
Deu 30:19 I call Heaven and earth to witness against you
today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing
and the curse. Therefore, choose life, that you may live, you
and your seed,

whom the Druids worshipped was Baal, as the blazing Baal-fires
show We know that they offered human sacrifices to their bloody
gods. We have evidence that they made `their children pass
through the fire to Molech, and that makes it highly probable
that they also offered them in sacrifice; for, from Jeremiah 32:35,
compared with Jeremiah 19:5, we find that these two things were
parts of one and the same system. Further, it is to be noted that
the priests of Nimrod or Baal were necessarily required to eat of
the human sacrifices; and thus it has come to pass that `Cahna-Bal,
(Cahna is the emphatic form of Cahn which means `a priest)
meaning the priest of Baal, is the established word in our tongue for
a devourer of human flesh. (from The Two Babylons, Hislop. See
page 232).

which is the valley of the children of Hinnom; a valley that belonged
to the posterity of a man of this name, near to Jerusalem, see
Jos_15:8, hence the Greek word geenna for hell, in the New
Testament:
Gehinnomtranslated as hell in most English versions comes from
this concept of human sacrifice at the valley of Hinnom. Halloween
is a picture of this hell on earth. Demons and evil spirits let loose
on the earth. At the fall of Babylon this is what is seen. Babylon
falls and becomes a habitation of evil spirits and unclean beasts.
Jer 32:34 But they set their idols in the house on which My
name has been called, to defile it.
Jer 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal in the valley
of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their
daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I did
not command them, nor did it come into My heart, that they
should do this detestable thing, to cause Judah to sin.
Jer 7:30 For the sons of Judah have done evil in My eyes,
says YHWH. They have set their idols in the house on which
is called My name, in order to defile it.
Jer 7:31 They have built the high places of Tophet in the
valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their
daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it
come into My heart.
John Gill commentary
to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire: which was done,
as Jarchi says, by putting them into the arms of the brasen image
Moloch, heated hot. The account he gives of Tophet is this,
Tophet is Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated him
from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made
hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it
vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father
might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be
moved:
but in this he is mistaken; for Tophet was not the name of an idol,
but of a place, as is clear from this and the following verse. There is
some agreement between this account of Jarchi, and that which
Diodorus Siculus (z) gives of Saturn, to whom children were
sacrificed by the Carthaginians; who had, he says, a brasen image
of Saturn*, which stretched out his hands, inclining to the earth; so
that a child put upon them rolled down, and fell into a chasm full of
fire:
*This is important to note. The worship of Saturnclick here = Baal
worship. This is what Halloween is. This brazen image of Saturn is
the origin of placing children into the lap of Santa Claus. Halloween
(death) and Christmas click here (birthdays) are intimately
connected. Birthdays originally were celebrations of the dead which
can be seen by the Greek word that is translated into birthday.
This is seen in more detail below on the section of mourning for the

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Gehenna
gee-hena (, geenna (see Grimm-Thayer, under the word)):
Gehenna is a transliteration from the Aramaic form of the Hebrew
ge-hinnom, valley of Hinnom. This latter form, however, is rare in
the Old Testament, the prevailing name being the valley of the son
of Hinnom.
In the New Testament (King James Version margin) Gehenna occurs
in Mat_5:22, Mat_5:29, Mat_5:30; Mat_10:28; Mat_18:9; Mat_23:15,
Mat_23:33; Mar_9:43, Mar_9:15, Mar_9:47; Luk_12:5; Jam_3:6.
Gehenna is rendered as hell. That the valley of Hinnom became
the technical designation for the place of final punishment was due
to two causes. In the first place the valley had been the seat of the
idolatrous worship of Molech, to whom children were immolated by
fire (2Ch_28:3; 2Ch_33:6).
Jack O- Lantern
The Jack-O-Lantern The World Book Encyclopedia, 1977 edition,
volume 9, page 24-26 says, The apparently harmless lighted
pumpkin face of `Jack-O-Lantern is an ancient symbol of a
damned soul. In the book Occult Conceit the author says on page
190, The candlelit pumpkin or skull served as a signal to mark
those farms and homes that were sympathetic to the Satanists and
thus deserving of mercy when the terror (trick or treat) of the
night began. Further, an old edition of The World Book
Encyclopedia says The apparently harmless lighted pumpkin face
of the Jack-O-Lantern is an ancient symbol of a damned soul.
The name jack-o-lantern can be traced back to the Irish legend of
Stingy Jack, a greedy, gambling, hard-drinking old farmer. He
tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him by carving a
cross into the tree trunk. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on
Jack, condemning him to forever wander the earth at night with the
only light he had: a candle inside of a hollowed turnip.
Carved and illuminated by a candle, they are symbolic of death
and the spirit world. (Thompson, Sue Ellen. Holiday Symbols and
Customs, p. 256)
. . . the jack-o-lantern is generally presented in its traditional
form as a festive euphemism for the deaths-head,* the
triangular nose hole and rictus grin being the dead giveaways.
(Skal, David J. Death Makes a Holiday: The Cultural History of
Halloween,p. 38)
*This is important to note. Halloween is a celebration of
death which is something that Secret Societies are
obsessed with, even today. The Jack-O-Lantern is seen
as the skull & cross-bones today which was/is the
symbol of the Thule Society which Adolph Hitler was a
member and the Skull & Bones which The Bushes, and
many other powerful men are members.
Another interesting connection to these secret societies and
Halloween is a place known as Bohemian Grove. Once a year in the
summer, powerful men (mostly Republicans) meet in a heavily
secluded campground in Monte Rio California. Much of what they
do is secret but the Grove has been infiltrated in the past with video
footage taken. One ritual that was videotaped was the Cremation
of Care. It is a ceremony where priests dress up like the Druids and
offer a mock human sacrifice to a giant owl idol which traces back
to Molech.
COSTUMES
They originated with these terrible Druid death rites also. As people
and animals were screeching in agony while being burned to death
the observers would dress in costumes made of animal skins and
heads. They would dance, chant and jump through the flames in
hope warding off the evil spirits. Again, the early origin of costumes
is repulsive. On the evening of October 31st, the Druids, who were
the occultic priests and teachers of the Celts, ordered the people to
put out their hearth fires. The Druids built a huge new years bonfire
of oak branches, which they considered sacred. They burned
animals, crops and human beings as sacrifices to their sun god Muck
Olla and Samhain, their god of death. During this diabolical
ceremony the PEOPLE WORE COSTUMES made of animal heads and
skins. They then practiced divination, looked for omens in the
struggle of the victims sacrificed in the fires, jumped over the
flames or dashed through them, danced and sang. All of this was
done to frighten the evil spirits away.
According to Man, Myth & Magic, volume 1, page 68, The guisers
went from house to house, singing and dancing. Their bloodcurdling
masks and grotesque costumes may have been meant to keep evil
at bay, or more likely, were visible representations of the ghosts and
goblins that lurked in the night
In the 11th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica, volume 12, page
8578 it states, It was the Druids belief that on the eve of this
festival (November 1st, Celtic New Year) Samhain, lord of death,
called together the wicked souls (Spirits) that within the past twelve
months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals.
Samhain would then send these evil spirits to attack people on the
eve before the November 1st celebration. The only way these
people could escape was by assuming disguises and looking like evil
spirits themselves. (See Christianity Today, October 22, 1982, p.32).
In rituals, a person wearing a mask of a god or spirit often feels
possessed by the supernatural being. . . (World Book 2005, p.
263)
The person wearing the mask feels internally transformed and
takes on temporarily the qualities of the god or demon
represented by the mask. (Biedermann, Hans. Dictionary of
Symbolism, p. 218)
BOBBING FOR APPLES
In A.D. 43 the Roman Empire was in solid control of the Celtic
people. As a result of this control the idol worshipping Romans
introduced another ceremony honoring their false gods to the
already demoniacal Druid New Years celebration. It was in honor of
their goddess of fruit trees. They would try to grasp fruit, floating in
water, without the use of their hands. This is the origin of BOBBING
FOR APPLES according to the Atlanta Journal & Constitution,
Associated Press quote, October 16, 1977.
According to Doc Marquis, this custom traces back to the Druids who
used to bring forth victims and give them a choice to bob for apples
in a boiling cauldron of oil and if they could successfully pull our the
apple they would be set free or they could have their heads
chopped off right then and there.
The Black Cat
In the 1959 edition of World Book Encyclopedia, under Halloween it
was noted that Druid priests believed that cats were once human
beings but were reincarnated as punishment for evil deeds. Because
of this they held cats sacred and involved them in their idol worship
of October 31st and November 1st.
Druids believed the cat was sacred andthat cats had once been
changed (from being human & reincarnated) into that form as
punishment for evil deeds. (The American Book of Days, by George
Douglas)
Even after Christianity spread to Europeoxen were sacrificed on
October 31stand in medieval Europe, black cats [were] chosen as
victims in the belief that they were witches in disguise [and] were
burned on that day (Halloween). (The American Book of Day, third
edition by Hatch)
It is plain to see that cats, particularly BLACK CATS were thought to
represent EVIL. Further, they were asymbol of REINCARNATION.
Black cats were associated with darkness and death . . . they
embodied demons who performed the witches task of maleficia
against their neighbors. . . Black cats are said to be the devil
himself. (Guiley, Rosemary Ellen. The Encyclopedia of Witches and
Witchcraft, p. 49)
Owls
On Halloween night, demons in the form of owls were said to
have traveled with Witches and their cats . . . some were even
believed to be Witches in disguise. . . (Interestingly, the owl was
called a strix by the Romansa word that means Witch.)
(Dunwich, Gerina. The Pagan Book of Halloween, p. 43)
Lilith
Isa 34:14 The desert creatures (Targum monsters) shall also meet
with the howlers; and the shaggy goat(satyr) shall cry to his
fellow. The screech owl (Heb. lillith Vulgate- lamla (witch)) shall also
settle there, and find a place of rest for herself.

Lilith (Syr. and Zab. lelitho), lit., the creature of the night, was a

children, like some of the fairies of our own fairy tales.
Owl association
The Burney Relief
The Myth of the Goddess
The Sumerian word for owl is ninna and the name Nin-ninna given
to the goddess in her owl form meant Divine Lady Owl. The ancient
texts also give the Akkadian word kilili for Nin-ninna, and this name
was one shared by Innana and Ishtar. (Perhaps kilili is the original
derivation of Lilith, who, much later, in biblical times, is called
night-owl or screech-owl.
Rafael Patai (The Hebrew Goddess 3rd ed. 1990) relates that in the
Sumerian poem Gilgamesh and the Huluppu Tree, a she-demon
named Lilith built her house in the Huluppu tree on the banks of the
Euphrates before being routed by Gilgamesh. Patai then describes
the Burney plaque:
A Babylonian terra-cotta relief, roughly contemporary with the
above poem, shows in what form Lilith was believed to appear to
human eyes. She is slender, well shaped, beautiful and nude, with
wings and owl-feet. She stands erect on two reclining lions which are
turned away from each other and are flanked by owls. On her head
she wears a cap embellished by several pairs of horns. In her hands
she holds a ring and rod combination. Evidently this is no longer a
lowly she-demon, but a goddess who tames wild beasts and, as
shown by the owls on the reliefs, rules by night.
Wolkstein and Kramer (Innana: Queen of Heaven and Earth 1983)
present a psychological comparison of Lilith and Innana in a
discussion of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld:
Ereshkigal, the neglected side of Innana, has certain qualities that
are similar to Liliths. Both are connected to the nightime aspects of
the feminine- the powerful, raging sexuality and the deep wounds
accumulated from lifes rejections- which seek solace in physical
union only. Lilith usually flees from rejections; Ereshkigal withdraws
underground. In The Huluppu-Tree, when Lilith could not have her
own way, she resentfully and destructively smashed her own home.
The powerful Lilith of Innanas adolescent days had to be sent away
so Innanas life-exploring talents could be developed. But now that
Innana has become queen of her city, wife to her beloved, mother to
her children, she is more able to face what she has neglected: the
instinctual, wounded, frightened parts of herself
Talmud
Although references to Lilith in the Talmud are sparse, these
passages provide the most comprehensive insight into the
demoness yet seen in Judaic literature, which some speculate to
echo Liliths purported Mesopotamian origins and prefigure her
future as the perceived exegetical enigma of the Genesis account.
Recalling the Lilith we have seen, Talmudic allusions to Lilith
illustrate her essential wings and long hair dating back to her
earliest extant mention in Gilgamesh:
Rab Judah citing Samuel ruled: If an abortion had the likeness of
Lilith its mother is unclean by reason of the birth, for it is a child but
it has wings. (Niddah 24b)
[Expounding upon the curses of womanhood] In a Baraitha it was
taught: She grows long hair like Lilith, sits when making water like a
beast, and serves as a bolster for her husband. (Erubin 100b)
Unique to the Talmud with regard to Lilith is her insalubrious
carnality, alluded to in The Seductress but expanded upon here sans
unspecific metaphors as the demoness assuming the form of a
woman in order to sexually take men by force while they sleep:
R. Hanina said: One may not sleep in a house alone [in a lonely
house], and whoever sleeps in a house alone is seized by Lilith.
(Shabbath 151b)
Comparing Erubin 18b and Shabbath 151b with the later passage
from the Zohar: She wanders about at night, vexing the sons of
men and causing them to defile themselves (19b), it appears clear
that this Talmudic passage indicates such an adverse union between
Adam and Lilith.
Male & Female Androgyny
Lilith from Michelangelos The Temptation of Adam and Eve
And the Serpent, the Woman of Harlotry, incited and seduced Eve
through the husks of Light which in itself is holiness. And the
Serpent seduced Holy Eve, and enough said for him who
understands. And all this ruination came about because Adam the
first man coupled with Eve while she was in her menstrual impurity
this is the filth and the impure seed of the Serpent who mounted
Eve before Adam mounted her. Behold, here it is before you:
because of the sins of Adam the first man all the things mentioned
came into being. For Evil Lilith, when she saw the greatness of his
corruption, became strong in her husks, and came to Adam against
his will, and became hot from him and bore him many demons and
spirits and Lilin. (Patai81:455f)
Lilith pictures with Adam and Eve
http://jewishchristianlit.com//Topics/Lilith/aNePics.html
Lilith with Adam and Eve at Notre Dame Base of trumeau
Another similar monster was the Greek Lamia, who likewise
governed a class of child stealing lamia-demons. Lamia bore the
title child killer and was feared for her malevolence, like Lilith.
She has different conflicting origins and is described as having a
human upper body from the waist up and a serpentine body from
the waist down.
(Some depictions of Lamia picture her as having wings and feet of a
bird, rather than being half serpent, similar to the earlier reliefs of
Greek Sirens and the Lilitu.)
Lamia had a vicious sexual appetite that matched her cannibalistic
appetite for children. She was notorious for being a vampiric spirit
and loved sucking mens blood.
Her gift was the mark of a Sibyl, a gift of second sight. Zeus was
said to have given her the gift of sight. However, she was cursed
to never be able to shut her eyes so that she would forever obsess
over her dead children. Taking pity on Lamia, Zeus gave her the
ability to remove and replace her eyes from their sockets.
Western Mystery Tradition
The western mystery tradition associates Lilith with the Klipoth of
kabbalah. Samael Aun Weor in The Pistis Sophia Unveiled writes that
homosexuals are the henchmen of Lilith. Likewise, women who
undergo willful abortion, and those who support this practice are
seen in the sphere of Lilith. Dion Fortune writes, The Virgin Mary
is reflected in Lilith, and that Lilith is the source of lustful
dreams. Indeed, if one meditates on negative (or inverted) Binah,
one readily finds Lilith; to worship Lilith is to use the power of the
Holy Spirit for negative purposes.
Note that the serpent has a womans head and torso. Detail from

Is Ishtar/Astarte/Ashtoreth/Venus/Satan
male or female?
http://bnaiavraham.net/teaching_articles/english_teachings/Satan/w
as_satan.htm
For most people the word god has masculine connotations
whereas goddess is attributed to the female idols. However, they
are one and the same! The GOD that is worshipped throughout
the whole world is really the Queen of heaven-Satan/Helel .The
Queen of heaven often tales on BOTH male and female
characteristics
The Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible, vol.3, page 975, says of
Ishtar: Ishtar, the goddess of love and fertility, who was identified
with the VENUS STAR and is actually entitled the Mistress of
Heaven in the Amarna tablets. The difficulty is that the VENUS
STAR was regarded in Palestine as a male deity..
Ungers Bible Dictionary, on page 412, says,Ashtoreth, Astarte, a
Canaanite goddess. In south Arabic the name is found as Ashtar a
GOD identified with the planet VENUS.The name is cognate with the
Babylonian Ishtar (Easter!), the goddess of sensual love, maternity,
and fertility. In the Ras Shamara Tablets are found BOTH the
masculine form Ashtar and the feminine Ashtart
The History of Religions, by the University of Chicago, 1991,pages
261-278, confirms, Inanna-Ishtar is a liminal figure; she is
ANDROGYNOUS (having the characteristics of both sexes, man,
head, woman) marginal, ambiguous. Inanna-Ishtar combines male
aggressiveness with the force of superabundance of female
sexuality. She is herself the Harlot of Heaven. LIONS are
especially associated with Ishtar. She is the only goddess to have an
epithet of lioness, and with her fierceness and raging power it is
indeed a fitting epithet, even more befitting the MALENESS of the
goddess. The chief participants and actors in the goddess cult are
well known by name. There is an ambiguity about their sexualitywhether they were eunuchs, hermaphrodites, or simply
transvestites. Their transvestitism simulated the androgyny of
Inanna-Ishtar. It was perhaps the inversion of the male-female
binary opposition that thereby neutralized this opposition. By
emulating their goddess WHO WAS BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, they
shattered the boundary between the sexes.
Both the words in this Scripture (1Kings 11:33) are translated from
the word elohim. The Hebrew-English Lexicon by Brown, Driver, and
Briggs 0n page 43 tells us that elohim can mean Pl.intensive, a.a
god OR goddess. Satan/Helel then possesses BOTH characteristicsMale and Female as a malak, and may be worshipped as BOTH a
God and Goddess.
1Ki 11:33 Because they have forsaken Me, and bow
themselves to Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, to
Chemosh the god of Moab, to Milcom the god of the sons of
Ammon; and have not walked in My ways, to do the right in
My eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, as his father
David did.
Halloween and Babylon
The first Halloween ritual was celebrated
thousands of years ago in the post-Flood world
in Mesopotamia (now called Iraq). While we do not
know the exact name of this ancient festival,
we do know that it involved worship of fire
and serpents; astrology; witchcraft; magic;
communicating with the spirits; and human
sacrifice. The first of these festivals was
instituted by Nimrod at the Tower of Babel.
Nimrod was a mighty leader of the Babylonian
people and he persuaded them that he was a god
who had come down to earth and as such,
was to be worshipped. The Babylonian people
worshipped him under a variety of names
and titles such as Samas the Sun God,
Marduk, Merodach, Ninus, Bel / Baal,
Attis the list is practically endless.
Nimrod, along with his wife, founded what
the Bible refers to as Mystery Babylon
a pagan, false religious system that included
worship of many gods and goddesses, fire,
serpents, the sun and moon, and the planets.
-Traditions -The Real Origins of Halloween
by J. R. Terrier ; 2007
When we think about the history of Halloween
we generally trace its roots back to the time
of the Druids in England, Scotland and Ireland.
In truth, its roots go much further back than that.
The celebration of the Lord of the Dead (later
known as Halloween) can be traced to ancient Babylon
and to the trinity worship of Nimrod, the sun god
and his son Tamaz, and the Queen of heaven Samarimas,
wife of Nimrod, mother of Tamaz. This triune god
of Babylon battled with Saman, (also known by a
variety of other names including Samana, Shamhain,
Satan and others), god of the underworld, death,
sin and evil. The ancient priests from Babylon
would roam the countryside demanding contributions
from the people in an effort to appease the god
of death and keep him at bay.
In Ancient Babylon On the eve of all hallows,
a gigantic fire was lighted to ward off the death
god. In the midst of the fire large cages were
suspended containing sacrifices to the god of the
underworld. These sacrifices ranged from beasts,
to children and adults both men and women.
The priests would observe the writhing of the
burning victims and make predictions for the future
based upon the manner in which these poor creatures
screamed and gyrated in their agony within the
confines of those cages.
When Julius Caesar entered the British Isles
he was amazed to find that the Druids had adopted
the complete Chaldean (Babylonian) system in almost its pure form. In these gruesome
ceremonies the bodies of the victims were
often eaten by the priests. It is interesting to note
that the Chaldean (Babylonian) word for priest
is Cahna and the word for lord is Baal
hence, Cahna-Baal or priests of Baal (Nimrod)
from which we derive our English word for the
eaters of human flesh, cannabal.
-Halloween, the Counterfeit Last Great Day
By Carl R. Dillenback
The BonFires of Halloween were originally
called boneFires Sacrificial victims
were led through the streets of the village
by MASKED Celtic priests, the Druids,
who ceremonially offered the victims to the
Lord of Death, Satan. From the death agonies
of the living victim placed on the altar of
sacrifice, the priests divined the future of
the village from the way the soul departed the
body. This custom originated in BABYLON where the
Babylonian priests prayed to the symbolic deity Nimrod. The victims were furiously consumed
by the roaring flames, and in the morning, all
that was left were the bones and ashes.
Today without realizing it, people everywhere
practice a similar ritual during the Harvest
Festival, not as bone fires, but as bon fires.

Lampholder Newsletter
Halloween and the fall of Babylon
Each year millions of children walk through the streets wearing
customs and masks, traditionally in the guise of demonic and
wicked creatures.
Rev 18:2 And he cried in a strong, great voice, saying,
Babylon the great has fallen! It has fallen, and it has
become a dwelling-place of demons, and a prison of every
unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, even
having been hated,
Isa 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of the kingdoms, the
beauty of the pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as when God
overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Isa 13:20 It shall not be lived in forever, nor shall it be lived
in from generation to generation. And the Arabian shall not
pitch a tent there, nor shall the shepherds make flocks lie
down there.
Isa 13:21 But the desert creatures (tziyiy yellers) shall lie
there; and their houses shall be full of howling
creatures (LXX sirens/mermaids); and daughters of owls shall
dwell there; and he goats(sair satyr, demon) shall skip there.
Isa 13:22 And hyenas (iy- wild beast) shall cry along with his
widows; and jackals in palaces of delight. Yea, her time to
come is near, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Isa 14:22 For I will rise against them, says YHWH of Hosts,
and I will cut off the name and remnant, the son and
grandson, from Babylon, declares YHWH.
Isa 14:23 Also I will make it a possession of the hedgehog
and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the broom of
ruin, says YHWH of Hosts.
Isa 34:8 For the day of vengeance is to YHWH, the year of
repayments for Zions cause.
Isa 34:9 And its torrents shall be turned to pitch, and its
dust to brimstone; and its land shall become burning pitch.
Isa 34:10 It shall not be put out night or day; its smoke
shall go up forever. From generation to generation, it shall
lie waste; no one shall pass through it forever and forever.
Isa 34:11 But the owl (unclean bird that vomits) and the
hedgehog (one that shrinksgroundhogclick here) shall possess
it; and the eared owl (unknown bird of the twilight) and the
raven shall live in it. And He shall stretch out on it the line
of shame, and the stones of emptiness.
Isa 34:12 They shall call its nobles to a kingdom, but none
shall be there; and all her rulers shall be nothing.
Isa 34:13 And thorns shall grow in her palaces, nettles and
thistles in its fortresses; and it shall be a home for
jackals (tan-dragon LXX monsters), a court for daughters of
ostriches (LXX daughter of sirens).
Isa 34:14 The desert creatures (Targum monsters) shall also
meet with the howlers; and the shaggy goat (satyr) shall cry
to his fellow. The screech owl (Heb. lillith Vulgate- lamla
(witch)) shall also settle there, and find a place of rest for
herself.

female demon (sheda^h) of the popular mythology; according to
the legends, it was a malicious fairy that was especially hurtful to
children, like some of the fairies of our own fairy tales.
Here is a short reference to the Owl, Lilith, and Mayday.
The Sabine flower Goddess Flora holds games when the flowers
bloom. Chloris the green Goddess and her followers dance costumed
as animals. At the May festival of the sea God Poseidon, flowers
were thrown into salt or running water. On May Day by the old-style
Julian calendar in Spain, Mary of Fatima appeared above an oak tree,
wearing a crown of roses. Old May Day is Garland Day in England.
Passing a child through a garland of flowers heals any illness
Blodeuwedd, the original Queen of the May, was created from nine
flowers: trefoil, meadowsweet, broom, primrose, bean, oak, cockle,
nettle, and chestnut. Transformed into an owl, she is rearing her
hatchlings by May Day. Lilith, the owl Goddess of women and
wisdom, is celebrated on April 30th
The Phoenician moon Goddess Tanit was honored at a bare tree
woven all around with ribbons. For her Sabbat in May, the great
Goddess Ishtar wears a tall conical hat with a wide brim, covered
over with flowers. The bonnet of Ishtar became the traditional
witchs hat.

Halloween is a rehearsal of the Fall of Babylon and the dwelling of
demons and unclean creatures in that fallen land. Those who share
in this rehearsal now are proclaiming they want to share in its
fulfillment. This is a very scary warning to those who think this
holiday is just an innocent night of fun for kids to get candy.
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice out of Heaven saying,
My people, come out of her, that you may not share in her
sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues;
Halloween and the Occult
Samhain: This is the Witchs New Year and the primary
Sabbat from which all others flow. (RavenWolf, Silver. Teen
Witch, p. 42)
Halloween is one of the four major Sabbats celebrated by the
modern Witch, and it is by far the most popular and important
of the eight that are observed. . . Witches regard Halloween
as their New Years Eve, celebrating it with sacred
rituals. . . (Dunwich, Gerina. The Pagan Book of Halloween, p. 120)
Satanic High Priestess Blanche Barton, on The Church of Satan web
site, praises Halloween:
It [Halloween] gives even the most mundane people the
opportunity to taste wickedness for one night. They have a
chance to dance with the Devil . . . I see Satanists all over
the world meeting in small groups this night and
Halloweens 500 years hence, to raise a glass to the Infernal
Hosts. . .
Festivals of the Dead
The Festival of the Dead is held by many cultures throughout the
world in honor or recognition of deceased members of the
community, generally occurring after the harvest in August,
September, October, or November. In Japanese Buddhist custom the
festival honoring the departed (deceased) spirits of ones ancestors
is known as Bon Festival. In Inca religion the entire month of
November is Ayamarca, which translates to Festival of the Dead.
In many cultures a single event, Festival of the Dead, lasting up to 3
days, was held at the end of October and beginning of November;
examples include the Peruvians, the Hindus, the Pacific Islanders,
the people of the Tonga Islands, the Australians, the ancient
Persians, the ancient Egyptians, the Japanese, ancient Romans, and
the northern nations of Europe.
The souls of the dead
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead
know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward;
for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecc 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy
might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor
wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Psa 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;
in that very day his thoughts perish.
Haunted Houses?
Job 7:9 As the cloud fades, it goes, so he who goes down to
Sheol shall not come up.
Job 7:10 He shall return no more to his house; nor shall his
place know him any more.
Ghosts?
1Sa 28:7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a
woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and
enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is
a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
1Sa 28:8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other
raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came
to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto
me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall
name unto thee.
1Sa 28:9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou
knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those
that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land:
wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me
to die?
1Sa 28:10 And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As
the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee
for this thing.
1Sa 28:11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto
thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
1Sa 28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with
a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why
hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
1Sa 28:13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for
what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw
gods ascending out of the earth.
Samuel was not brought up from the grave but a god, a demon.
1Sa 28:14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And
she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a
mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he
stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
1Sa 28:15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou
disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am
sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me,
and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more,
neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called
thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
Eternity has been set in our hearts
Ecc 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also,
He has set eternity in their heart, without which man cannot
find out the work that God makes from the beginning even
to the end.
Heathen cultures have a fascination with the dead.
Halloween/Festivals of the Dead etc are a perfect example of this.
The Scriptures always focus on life. The heathens focused on the
afterlife of the dead and where the soul would dwell. The Scriptures
point us to the resurrection FROM the dead and eternal life.
We are not to partake in the vain customs of the heathen in regards
to the dead
Deu 14:1 You are sons to YHWH your God; you shall not cut
yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for
the dead.
John Gill commentary
ye shall not cut yourselves; for the dead, as appears from the next
clause, as the Heathens did, who not only tore their garments, but
their flesh in several parts of their bodies, in their mouths, cheeks,
breasts, &c. (r); and used other extravagant signs of mourning,
which the apostle cautions against, 1Th_4:13 and were condemned
by the Heathens themselves (s). Though some think this refers to
incisions the Heathens made in their flesh to the honour of their
gods, cutting the names of them therein to whom they devoted
themselves; or lashing their bodies at the worship of them, as the
worshippers of Baal did when they called upon him, 1Ki_18:28 and
so the Jerusalem Targum,make not marks, marks,that is, here and
there, in many places, or bruises black and blue by striping and
beating themselves, for strange worship, or at it, in honour of their
gods; but the former sense seems best to agree with what follows;
see Lev_19:28,
nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead; by shaving
the forepart of their head or their eyebrows, or both, which used to
be done in lamentations for the dead; see Jer_16:6 if this could be
thought to have any respect to rites and ceremonies used in the
worship of dead and lifeless idols, the customs of the Egyptians
might be referred to, who are said to shave their heads and their
eyebrows in their sacred rites to Isis (t).

Lev 19:28 And you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh
for the dead; and you shall not put on yourself any etched
mark; I am YHWH.
John Gill commentary
Lev 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,
. Either with their nails, tearing their cheeks and other parts, or
with any instrument, knife, razor, &c. Jarchi says, it was the custom
of the Amorites, when anyone died, to cut their flesh, as it was of
the Scythians, as Herodotus (d) relates, even those of the royal
family; for a king they cut off a part of the ear, shaved the hair
round about, cut the arms about, wounded the forehead and nose,
and transfixed the left hand with arrows; and so the Carthaginians,
who might receive it from the Phoenicians, being a colony of theirs,
used to tear their hair and mouths in mourning, and beat their
breasts (e); and with the Romans the women used to tear their
cheeks in such a manner that it was forbid by the law of the twelve
tables, which some have thought was taken from hence: and all this
was done to appease the infernal deities, and to give them
satisfaction for the deceased, and to make them propitious to them,
as Varro (f) affirms; and here it is said to be made for the soul, for
the soul of the departed, to the honour of it, and for its good, though
the word is often used for a dead body: now, according to the Jewish
canons (g), whosoever made but one cutting for a dead person was
guilty, and to be scourged; and he that made one for five dead men,
or five cuttings for one dead man, was obliged to scourging for
everyone of them:
nor print any marks upon you; Aben Ezra observes, there are some
that say this is in connection with the preceding clause, for there
were who marked their bodies with a known figure, by burning, for
the dead; and he adds, and there are to this day such, who are
marked in their youth in their faces, that they may be known; these
prints or marks were made with ink or black lead, or, however, the
incisions in the flesh were filled up therewith; but this was usually
done as an idolatrous practice; so says Ben Gersom, this was the
custom of the Gentiles in ancient times, to imprint upon themselves
the mark of an idol, to show that they were his servants; and the law
cautions from doing this, as he adds, to the exalted name (the name
of God): in the Misnah it is said (h), a man is not guilty unless he
writes the name, as it is said, Lev_19:28; which the Talmudists (i)
and the commentators (k) interpret of the name of an idol, and not
of God:
I am the Lord; who only is to be acknowledged as such, obeyed and
served, and not any strange god, whose mark should be imprinted
on them.

Lev 19:28
Any cuttings in your flesh for the dead That the ancients were very
violent in their grief, tearing the hair and face, beating the breast,
etc., is well known. Virgil represents the sister of Dido tearing her
face with her nails, and beating her breast with her fists.
Unguibus ora soror foedans, et pectora pugnis.
Aen., l. iv., ver. 672.
Nor print any marks upon you It was a very ancient and a very
general custom to carry marks on the body in honor of the object of
their worship. All the castes of the Hindoos bear on their foreheads
or elsewhere what are called the sectarian marks, which distinguish
them, not only in a civil but also in a religious point of view, from
each other. Most of the barbarous nations lately discovered have
their faces, arms, breasts, etc., curiously carved or tattooed,
probably for superstitious purposes. Ancient writers abound with
accounts of marks made on the face, arms, etc., in honor of different
idols; and to this the inspired penman alludes, Rev_13:16,
Rev_13:17; Rev_14:9, Rev_14:11; Rev_15:2; Rev_16:2; Rev_19:20;
Rev_20:4, where false worshippers are represented as receiving in
their hands and in their forehead the marks of the beast. These
were called stigmata among the Greeks, and to these St.
Paul refers when he says, I bear about in my body the Marks
(stigmata) of the Lord Jesus; Gal_6:17. I have seen several cases
where persons have got the figure of the cross, the Virgin Mary, etc.,
made on their arms, breasts, etc., the skin being first punctured,
and then a blue colouring matter rubbed in, which is never
afterward effaced. All these were done for superstitious purposes,
and to such things probably the prohibition in this verse refers.
Calmet, on this verse, gives several examples. See also Mariners
Tonga Islands, vol. i. p. 311-313.
Mourning for the dead and birthdaysclick here
Where did the custom of cutting oneself for the dead come from? It
was a celebration of the birthday of Saturn.
From Alexander Hislops Two Babylons:
Two Babylons
When it is remembered that Saturn himself was cut in pieces, it is
easy to see how the idea would arise of offering a welcome sacrifice
to him by setting men to cut one another in pieces on his birthday,
by way of propitiating his favour.
The practice of such penances, then, on the part of those of the
Pagans who cut and slashed themselves, was intended to propitiate
and please their god, and so to lay up a stock of merit that might
tell in their behalf in the scales of Anubis.
Mat 14:6 But a birthday* feast for Herod being held, the
daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased
Herod.
John Gill
This they did, believing him to be the Messiah: and it is further to be
observed, that the word here used (for birthday), is said to be
proper to the dead, and not to the living;

Astrology, & Horoscopes
The Encyc. Of Religion and Ethics (ERE), art. Birth (AssyroBabylonian), Vol. 2, p. 643).
We know beyond doubt from tablets of later date that the hour of
birth was carefully noted and the horoscopes were cast, based on
careful notations of celestial observations. From tablet K 1285 we
deduce that ceremonies were carried out in the Temple of Ishtar, or
Istar (Easter), at least for children of people of note. In this tablet
she is addressed as Queen of Nineveh (ibid., p. 644).
At Halloween, it was believed that predicting the future was at its

Excerpts taken from the October 1998,
Lampholder Newsletter
Holiday researcher George Douglas adds some interesting
information when he says Many of Halloweens customs are
derived from the ancient Baal Festivals. Other customs originate
from the taking of omens from the struggles of victims in the fires of
druidic sacrifices. (From: The American Book of Days, by George
William Douglas revised by Helen Douglas Compton).
Purim connection
Est 3:5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow nor
worship him, then Haman was filled with fury.
Est 3:6 And it was light in his eyes to reach forth a hand
against Mordecai alone; for they had revealed to him
Mordecais people. And Haman sought to destroy all the
Jews in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of
Mordecai.
Est 3:7 In the first month, it is the month Nisan, in the
twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they made fall Pur, that is,
the lot, before Haman day by day, and from month to month,
to the twelfth month, the month Adar.
is an Old-Persian word meaning lot (sors); in modern Persian,
bara signifies time,
Adam Clarke
We see plainly intimated by the Hebrew text that they cast lots, or
used a species of divination, to find which of the twelve months
would be the most favorable for the execution of Hamans design;
and, having found the desired month, then they cast lots, or used
divination, to find out which day of the said month would be the
lucky day for the accomplishment of the enterprise. But the Hebrew
text does not tell us the result of this divination; we are left to guess
it out; but the Greek supplies this deficiency, and makes all clear.
From it we find that, when they cast for the month, the month Adar
was taken; and when they cast for the day, the fourteenth (Heb.
thirteenth) of that month was taken.
Albert Barnes
Pur is supposed to be an old Persian word etymologically
connected with the Latin pars, and signifying part or lot. The
practice of casting lots to obtain a lucky day still obtains in the East,
and is probably extremely ancient. A lot seems to have been cast, or
a throw of some kind made, for each day of the month and each
month of the year. The day and month which obtained the best
throws were then selected. Assyrian calendars note lucky and
unlucky days as early as the eighth century B.C. Lots were in use
both among the Oriental and the Classical nations from a remote
antiquity.
Adolph Hitler is known as a modern day Haman. As seen above,
Hitler was a member of a deaths head secret society known as the
Thule society. Hitler marked those who were doomed to death with
a hexagram, much like the doors that were painted with the same
symbol by the Druids.
What is the Thule Society?
They were Satanists who practiced Black Magic this means that
they were solely concerned with raising their consciousness by
means of rituals to awareness of evil and nonhuman intelligences
in the universe; and with achieving means of communication with
these intelligences. (Ravenscroft, Spear of Destiny p. 161).
Thule members practiced a form of Sexual Magic derived from a
lodge of which Aleister Crowley was a member. Crowley was
recognized as the foremost worshipper of Satan in the 19th Century.
The origin of thismedieval magiccan be traced to a Freemason,
Robert Little, who founded the Societas Rosicrucianain 1865
(Ravenscroft, Spear of Destiny, p. 164-5). While the actual sexual
perversions which were practiced are too offensive to share, the
results are not. Author Revenscroft stated that indulgence in the
most sadistic rituals awakened penetrating vision into the workings
of Evil Intelligences and bestowed phenomenal magical powers.
(Ibid. p. 167).
These sexual perversions can be seen today at the Bohemian
Grove. There has been much documentation of homosexual
activities being wide-spread amongst the members of this club.
Thule society believed in communication with a hierarchy of
Supermen The Secret Chiefs of the Third Order. (Ibid) The quality
which make these beings supermen was occultic spirituality. Further,
they believed inMadame Blavatskys Secret Doctrine, which
teaches that certain superman had survived the destruction
of Atlantis with their higher levels of consciousness intact.
These supermen were Aryans. These two beliefs combined into
one through the Thule Society and Hitler, culminating into the Nazi
Death Camps. (Ibid, p. 166).

Nazi Death Camps. (Ibid, p. 166). When one group of people
incorporate into their spiritual belief structure that they are
inherently superior to another group of people, it is inevitable that
genocide will be attempted as soon as possible.
The Thule Society regularly held occultic seances, during
which time they communicated with demons who were either
masquerading as a dead person or who were just appearing as
their guiding spirits. Dietrich Eckart, Alfred Rosenberg, and Adolf
Hitler invoked the Anti-Christ into manifestation at the
mediumistic seances of the Thule Group in Munich.
(Ravenscroft, Spear of Destiny, p. 168) Eckert believed he had
been told by his guiding spirit he would have the privilege of
training the coming Great One, the Anti-Christ. From the beginning
of their association, Eckert believed Hitler was Anti-Christ.
Therefore, Eckert spared no occultic knowledge, ritual, or
perversion in his attempt to fully equip Hitler for the role. Once the
training was completed, Hitler believed he was born anew with
that super-personal strength and resolution he would need to fulfill
the mandate ordained for him. (p. Ravenscroft, p. 93-4)
The Skull and Bones also incorporates sexual activities into their
practices. The death of the initiate will be as frightful as the use of
human skeletons and ritual psychology can make it (Esquire
Magazine, The Last Secrets of Skull and Bones, Ron Rosenbaum,
p. 89). Sexual perversion is part of ritual psychology. Ron
Rosenbaum, author of the Esquire Magazine article, stated that on
initiation night, called tap night, if one could climb to the tower
of Weir Hall, the odd castle that overlooks the Bones courtyard,
one could hear strange cries and moans coming from the bowels of
the tomb as the 15 newly tapped members were put through what
sounded like a harrowing ordeal (Esquire, September, 1976, p.
86).
Further,[initiates] lay naked in coffins and tell their deepest and
darkest sexual secrets as part of their initiation. (Esquire, p. 85).
These experiences in the coffins incorporated sexual pain and
resulted in being born-again, into the Order, as we mentioned
above. (Cooper, p.95) Powerful force charges through the
participants of these ceremonies, transforming their lives
dramatically. This type ritual is classic Satanism. Anton LaVey states,
in his book The Satanic Rituals: Companion To The Satanic
Bible, (p. 57)
The ceremony of rebirth takes place in a large coffin..This is similar
to the coffin symbolism thatis found in most lodge rituals.
To the un-initiated these secret societies are obsessed with death,
just as Halloween appears to be an obsession with death. On a
deeper level they are actually obsessed with life. Death to bring
life. This is the theory of evolution. The death of the weak brings
forth a more evolved being. Sacrifice the weak so that the strong
can become stronger and obtain the favor of the gods. Ultimately
the goal of these secret societies/mystery religion priests is to bring
about a utopian society of evolved men known as homo-noeticus
(supermen).
Why does it say 322 at the bottom of the Skull
& Bones symbol?
Gen 3:22 And YHWH God said, Behold! The man has become as
one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put forth his
hand and also take from the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever,
Also notice that the skull in the above picture has a head wound
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of its heads, as having been slain to
death, and its deadly wound was healed. And all the earth
wondered after the beast.
Ultimately, this is what Halloween points to. The Antichrist. The
Feasts (holidays) in the Holy Scriptures are wedding rehearsals for
the Messiah and His Bride. Halloween, Christmas, Easter etc are
wedding rehearsals for the Antichrist and his bride.
In the Scriptures, there is no custom of honoring the dead or giving
worship to the dead. Contact with the dead brought uncleanness
and kept you from drawing close to the Most High who dwelt in the
midst of the camp.
Contact with the dead brings uncleanness
Num 19:11 He that touches the dead body of any man shall
be unclean seven days.
Num 19:12 He shall cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on
the seventh day he shall be clean. And if he does not cleanse
himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he shall not be
clean.
Num 19:13 Anyone who touches the dead body, the body of a man
who dies, and does not cleanse himself, he shall have defiled the
tabernacle of YHWH; and that person shall be cut off from Israel, for
the water of impurity shall not be sprinkled upon him. He shall be
unclean; his uncleanness shall be still on him.
The unclean were to dwell outside of the camp
Num 5:1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 5:2 Command the sons of Israel, and they shall send every
leper out of the camp, and everyone with an issue, and everyone
defiled by a dead body.
Num 5:3 You shall send out from male and female. You shall send
them to the outside of the camp. And they shall not defile their
camps in the midst of which I dwell.
Num 5:4 And the sons of Israel did so, and put them outside the
camp. As YHWH spoke to Moses, so the sons of Israel did.
Lepers were as dead and not allowed within the camp
Num 12:12 I pray, do not let her be as one who is dead, of whom
the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mothers
womb.
Nazarite Vow
Num 6:6 All the days of his separation to YHWH he shall not go near
a dead person.
High priest
Lev 21:10 And the high priest of his brothers, on whose head the
anointing oil is poured, and whose hand is consecrated to put on the
garments, his head shall not be uncovered, nor his garments torn;
Lev 21:11 nor shall he come near any dead person; he shall not
defile himself for his father or for his mother;
Priesthood
Lev 21:1 And YHWH said to Moses, Speak to the priests, Aarons
sons, and you shall say to them, None shall be defiled for the dead
among his people.
Lev 21:2 But for his relative who is near to him, for his mother, and
for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his
brother,
Lev 21:3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has
not been with a man, for her he may be defiled.
Lev 21:4 A leader shall not defile himself among his people, to
pollute himself;
Lev 21:5 they shall not make their heads bald, and they shall not
shave the corner of their beard; and they shall not make a cutting in
their flesh;
Lev 21:6 they are holy to their God, and they shall not pollute the
name of their God. For they offer the fire offerings of YHWH, bread
of their God, and they are holy.
The Messiah teaches us not to get caught up in focusing on the
dead.
Mat 8:22 But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and allow the dead to
bury their own dead.
Secondary burial; Ossilegiumduring this time there was a custom
amongst Jews that a year after the burial of a person a loved one
would come back to the grave when the flesh had rotted off of the
bones and this had to do with atoning for sins.
The Jerusalem Talmud states: When the flesh had wasted away, the
bones were collected and placed in chests (ossuaries). On that day
(the son) mourned, but the following day he was glad, because his
forebears rested from judgment (Moed Qatan 1:5).
Messiah teaches us to leave off these superstitions about the dead
and to follow Him. Eternal life is a gift that is given by putting our
faith in Him. Not elaborate burial procedures and customs that the
living do for the dead. The dead do not need us to pray for them or
to them. Those who partake of these vain customs usually have a
skewed view of what the Scriptures teach about death. We are to
seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness. The Kingdom is about
life. It is about resurrection FROM the dead, not the continuation of
life after death. It is about the restoration of the Garden of Eden.
2 Esdras 9:13 And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly
shall be punished, and when: but enquire how the righteous shall be
saved, whose the world is, and for whom the world is created.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
everlasting life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*from the root:
Halloween is a
festival that binds believers and is celebrated in a repeated fashion
each year on the same day. This is the same root word for moedim
which is translated as the feasts/appointed times of YHWH. Here we
see in Psalm 119 that believers are not to forgot the Torah even
though we are bound on all sides by pagan feasts. We are to keep
the Torah in the night and be lights to this fallen world.
Luke 6:20-49

Meaning of the word Christmas.
The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning Christs
Mass. It is derived from the Middle EnglishChristemasse and Old
English Cristes msse, a phrase first recorded in 1038. Cristes is
from Greek Christosand msse is from Latin missa (the holy
mass).
Mass- 1909 Catholic dictionary
The Eucharist as a sacrifice is called the Mass, most probably from
the dismissal (missa) of the catechumens before the celebration.
The Mass is a true proper sacrifice, namely, the external offering up
of a sensible gift, which is destroyed or transformed by an
authorized minister in recognition of Gods supreme dominion.
Hence, Christmas literally means the death/sacrifice of Christ. Why
does Christmas celebrate the supposed birth of Christ but yet
literally means the death of Christ? Because this holiday traces
back to sun worshipclick here where the sun would die at the
winter solstice and be resurrected on the 25th as it began to rise
again.
The Winter Solstice is the day when the Sun is the lowest in the
southern sky. During the short winter days the Sun does not rise
exactly in the east, but instead rises just south of east and it sets
south of west. Each day after the winter solstice, which occurs on
December 21st, the Suns path becomes a little higher in the
southern sky after having remained motionless in the sky for 3 days.
The Sun also begins to rise closer to the east and set closer to the
west until we reach the day when it rises exactly east and sets
exactly west. This day is called the equinox. In fact this is what the
word solstice means, sun standing still. Solstice derives from
Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).
So when we speak of the Winter Solstice it is rather easy knowing
this that as the Sun sank deeper into the southern horizon on a daily
basis and with less light every day to the point that the path of the
Sun had moved further down the sky to where it had
remained motionless for 3 days at the Winter Solstice then
the ancients considered that the sun had actually died. In
fact, the great orb, would remain standing still for three days neither
moving north or south. Then, it was noticed, that on the third
day, the sun would begin moving northward again.
Capricorn
In esoteric mystery thought, the movement of the sun through the
12 signs of the zodiac is spiritually connected to the initiate moving
to godhood. This is a counterfeit of the Gospel in the starsclick
here which speak of Messiah Yahshua.
Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capital pg 102
The entrance to the Lodge (that is to the Cosmos) begins at
Capricorn and reaches the center in CancerThis orientation
followed not only the direction of the seasons, but also the direction
of the neophyte in his or her search for God.
IBID pg 108
Porphyry recalls that the ancient philosophers insist that in the
heavens are two gates, one of which is the Gate of Cancer, the other
the Gate of Capricorn. Cancer is the gate through which souls
descend into earthly birth, while Capricorn is the one through which
they ascend in the postmortem return to the spiritual realm. It is,
Porphyry continues, the reason that the Romans celebrate their
Saturnalia, when the Sun is in Capricorn, and why during this
festivity, the slaves wear sandals of those who are free:
the legislator obscurely signified by this ceremony, that, through
this gate of heavens, those who are now born slaves will be
liberated through the Saturnian festival, and the house attributed to
Saturn, that is, Capricorn, when they live again, and return to the
fountain of life.
Sun Worshipclick here
Each day in the week, the planet to which the
day was sacred was invoked in a fixed spot in the crypt;
and Sunday, over which the Sun presided, was especially
holy . .
The rites which they [the Mithraists] practised offered
numerous analogies . . They also held Sunday sacred,
and celebrated the birth of the Sun [god] on the
25th of December.Franz Cumont, the Mysteries of
Mithra, Trans. by T.J. McCormack, 167, 191.
Biedermans Dictionary explains the symbolism of the eagle: In
ancient Syria, the eagle was associated with the sun-god. It was said
to be capable of rejuvenation, like the phoenix.click here
Here we see a picture of the Messiah dying and rising again after 3
days. This is why so many pagan religions have dying and rising
Messiah figures. The adversary knows that the Almighty gives
shadow picturesclick here of His great plan in His creation and the
adversary seeks to pervert this picture to lead mankind astray.click
here. The sun, moon and stars are specifically used to teach of His
gloryclick here.
Psa 19:1 To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The
heavens are recounting* the glory of God, and the expanse
proclaiming His handiwork.
*msepharim- literally from, or out of the books. When looking at
the constellations and the path of the sun we are seeing another
witness to the Holy Scriptures.
Psa 19:2 Day by day they pour forth speech, and night to
night reveals knowledge.
Psa 19:3 There is no speech, nor are there words where
their voice is not heard.
Psa 19:4 Their measuring line has gone out through all the
earth, and their words to the end of the world; in them He
has set up a dwelling-place for the sun,
Psa 19:5 and he comes forth like a bridegroom from his
canopy. He rejoices like a hero to run a race;
Psa 19:6 his going forth from the end of the heavens, and
his orbit to their ends; and nothing is hidden from his heat.
The religions of the heathens incorporate different aspects of the
work of the Messiah in their religions because they knew what the
zodiac taught concerning the Messiah to come. The adversary knew
since the garden that the Seed of the woman was going to come to
crush his head and sought to pervert the picture of this Seed to lead
mankind astray. This is why it is so important for believers not to
associate with Christmas because it is a part of that perversion of
the picture of the Messiah. The reason why movies like Zeitgeist
and books like Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the DaVinci Code can lead
so many astray because it is true that the Roman Catholic Church
mixed heathen customs with the Scriptures. The next logical step is
to think that they perverted the Scriptures themselves or that they
are just retelling the same pagan myths in a different form. This is
just one reason among many that Christmas is so dangerous to the
spiritual welfare of mankind.

What saith the Scriptures?
The fact that Christmas is derived from paganism is a statement of
fact that cant be denied. The question is whether or not it is
acceptable to our Heavenly Father to join in customs, traditions and
holidays that are birthed from the religions of satan worship. The
Holy Scriptures are clear on what the answer is:
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her*, my people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
*Come out of Babylonthis is speaking of the customs of the
satanic system. Christmas is Babylonian to the core.
Isa 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence,
touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye
clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
Jer 51:45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and
deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the
LORD.
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing;
and I will receive you,
We will loathe ourselves when we see the horrible abominations we
have committed
Eze 6:8 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some
that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye
shall be scattered through the countries.
Eze 6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me
among the nations whither they shall be carried captives,
because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath
departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring
after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the
evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
Jer 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my
refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto
thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our
fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there
is no profit.
Clean can not come out of unclean
Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not
one.
Hag 2:11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests
concerning the law, saying,
Hag 2:12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment,
and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil,
or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and
said, No.
Hag 2:13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead
body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests
answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Hag 2:14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this
people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and
so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer
there is unclean.
Sir 34:4 Of an unclean thing what can be cleansed? and
from that thing which is false what truth can come?
Sir 34:5 Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are
vain: and the heart fancieth, as a womans heart in travail.
Sir 34:6 If they be not sent from the most High in thy
visitation, set not thy heart upon them.
Sir 34:7 For dreams have deceived many, and they have
failed that put their trust in them.
Sir 34:8 The law shall be found perfect without lies: and
wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.
Keep far from a false matter
Exo 23:7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the
innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify
the wicked.
Do not desire the pretty things of the heathens
Deu 7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn
with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on
them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for
it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Deu 7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine
house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt
utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a
cursed thing.
Jos 7:15 And it shall be, he who is taken with the accursed
thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has,
because he has transgressed the covenant of YHWH and
because he has committed folly in Israel.
Jos 7:21 When I saw among the spoil a goodly robe of
Shinar (Babylonish garment), and two hundred shekels of
silver, and a wedge of gold, one of fifty shekels in weight,
then I lusted after them, and took them. And behold, they
are hidden in the earth, in the middle of my tent, and the
silver under it.
Isa 44:9 Those who form a carved image are all of them
vanity. And their delights do not profit; and they are their
own witnesses. They do not see, nor know, that they may be
ashamed.
Psa 141:4 Do not let my heart turn aside to any evil thing,
to practice deeds in wickedness with men who practice
iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies.
The ways of the heathen are abominations
Deu 12:29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations
from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and
thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
Deu 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by
following them, after that they be destroyed from before
thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying,
How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do
likewise.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for
every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they
done unto their gods; for even their sons and their
daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Golden Calf/Synchretism
Exo 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to
come down out of the mount, the people gathered
themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up,
make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this
Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
we wot not what is become of him.
Exo 32:2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden
earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons,
and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
Exo 32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings
which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Exo 32:4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned
it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten
calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which
brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it;
and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a
feast to the LORD.
Notice, Aharon stated that the golden calf was YHWH. We can not
take the customs of the heathen and apply them to YHWH or
Messiah Yahshua.
Exo 32:7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down;
for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of
Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Exo 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way
which I commanded them: they have made them a molten
calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto,
and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought
thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 32:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this
people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Exo 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may
wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I
will make of thee a great nation.
Deu 12:29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations
from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and
thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
Deu 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by
following them, after that they be destroyed from before
thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying,
How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do
likewise.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for
every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they
done unto their gods; for even their sons and their
daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Deu 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do
it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Deu 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD
thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the
abominations of those nations.
Lev 18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye
dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of
Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye
walk in their ordinances.
Lev 18:4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine
ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
Lev 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my
judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the

Elijah Messageclick here
The Custom of Christmas trees was passed down to us from the
sacred groves of the heathen religions. This is Baal worship,
which was a main battleground for Eliyahu.
Rom 11:2 God did not thrust away His people whom He
foreknew. Psa. 94:14 Or do you not know what the Scripture
said in Elijah, how he pleaded with God against Israel,
saying,
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I
have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not
bowed the knee to {the image} of Baal.
Why was the image of added to the text in Romans 11:4
To Baal ( )
The feminine article is used with the name instead of the masculine
(as in Septuagint in this passage). It occurs, however, in the
Septuagint with both the masculine and the feminine article. Various
reasons are given for the use of the feminine, some supposing an
ellipsis, the image of Baal; others that the deity was conceived as
bisexual; it may also be referring to Baals female consort
Ashtoreth.
Asherah, came to denote the symbol of the goddess. The trunk of
the tree was often provided with branches, and assumed the form of
the tree of life.
History
the New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge
tells us how the December 25 holiday entered the Christian church:
How much the date of the festival depended upon
the pagan Brumalia [The December 25 celebration],
following the Saturnalia [an eight-day December 1724 festival preceding it], and celebrating the shortest
day of the year and the new sun . . cannot be accurately
determined. The pagan Saturnalia and Brumalia
were too deeply entrenched in popular custom to be
set aside by Christian influence . . The pagan festival
with its riot and merrymaking was so popular that
Christians were glad of an excuse to continue its celebration
with little change in spirit and in manner.
Christian preachers of the West and the Near East
protested against the unseemly frivolity with which
Christs birthday was celebrated, while Christians of
Mesopotamia accused their Western brethren of idolatry
and sun worship for adopting as Christian this
pagan festival.New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of
Religious Knowledge, Christmas.
A feast was established in memory of this event
[Christs birth] in the fourth century. In the fifth century
the Western Church ordered it to be celebrated
forever on the day of the old Roman feast of the birth
of Sol [the Latin word for sun], as no certain knowledge
of the day of Christs birth existed.Encyclopedia
Americana (1944 edition), Christmas.
Certain Latins, as early as [A.D.] 354, may have
transferred the birthday from January 6th to December
25, which was then a Mithraic feast . . or birthday
of the unconquered sun . . The Syrians and Armenians
accused the Romans of sun worship and idolatry.
Encyclopedia Britannica, 1946 ed.
The uncertainty that existed at the beginning of the
third century in the minds of Hippolytus and others
Hippolytus earlier favored Jan. 2; Clement of Alexandria
(Strom., i. 21), the 25th of Pachon [May 20]; while
others, according to Clement, fixed upon Apr, 18 or 19
and Mar. 28proves that no Christmas festival had been
established much before the middle of the century. Jan.
6 was earlier fixed upon as the date of the baptism or
spiritual birth of Christ, and the feast of Epiphany . .
was celebrated by the Basilidian Gnostics in the second
century . . and by Catholic Christians by about the beginning
of the fourth century.
The earliest record of the recognition of Dec. 25 as
a church festival is in the Philocalian Calendar [although
copied in 354, represented Roman practice in 336].
Newman, A.H., Christmas, New Scaff-Herzog Encyclopedia
of Religious Knowledge, Vol. 3, 47.
Uncertainty about Jesus birthday in the
early third century is reflected in a disputed passage of
the presbyter Hippolytus, who was banished to Sarinia
by Maximinus in 235, and in an authentic statement of
Clement of Alexandria. While the former favored January
second, the learned Clement of Alexandria enumerates
several dates given by the Alexandrian chronographers,
notably the twenty-fifth of the Egyptian month,
Pachon (May twentieth), in the twenty-eighth year of
Augustus and the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth of
Pharmuthi (April eighteenth or nineteenth) of the year
A.D. 1, although he favored May twentieth. This shows
that no Church festival, in honor of the day, was established
before the middle of the third century. Origen, at
that time in a sermon, denounced the idea of keeping
Jesus birthday like that of Pharaoh and said that only
sinners such as Herod were so honored. Arnobius later
similarly ridiculed giving birthdays to gods. A Latin treatise,
De pascha computus (of ca. 243), placed Jesus
birth on March twenty-first since that was the supposed
day on which God created the Sun (Gen 1:14-19), thus
typifying the Sun of righteousness as Malachi 4:2 called
the expected Messiah. A century before, Polycarp, martyred
in Smyrna in 155, gave the same date for the birth
and baptism placing it on a Wednesday because of the
creation of the Sun on that day.Walter Woodburn
Hyde, Paganism to Christianity in the Roman Empire,
249-25
It is now generally granted that the day of the nativity was
not observed as a feast in any part of the church, east or
west, till some time in the fourth century. If any day had
been earlier fixed upon as the Lords birthday, it was
not commemorated by any religious rites, nor is it mentioned
by any writers.Samuel J. Andrews, The Life
of Our Lord Upon the Earth, New York: Charles
Scribners Sons, 1891, 17.
While Christianity won a comparatively
easy victory over the Graeco-Roman religion, it had a hard
struggle with the Mithras religion. The worshipers of
Mithras were won by taking over the birthday of Mithras,
December 25, as the birthday of Christ.H. Lamer,
Mithras, Worterbuch der Antike, 2nd ed.; Leipzig: A. Kroner, 1933.
Remains of the struggle are found in two institutions adopted from
its rival by Christianity in the fourth century, the two Mithraic sacred
days, December twenty-fifth, dies natalis solis [birthday
of the sun], as the birthday of Jesus, and Sunday the
venerable day of the Sun, as Constantine called it in his
edict of 321.Walter Woodburn Hyde, Paganism to

Tertullian 160-22o AD
Tertullian
The Minervalia are as much Minervas, as the Saturnalia Saturns;
Saturns, which must necessarily be celebrated even by little slaves
at the time of the Saturnalia. New-years gifts likewise must be
caught at, and the Septimontium kept; and all the presents of
Midwinter and the feast of Dear Kinsmanship must be exacted; the
schools must be wreathed with flowers; the flamens wives and the
aediles sacrifice; the school is honoured on the appointed holydays. The same thing takes place on an idols birthday; every
pomp of the devil is frequented. Who will think that these things
are befitting to a Christian master, unless it be he who shall think
them suitable likewise to one who is not a master? (Tertullian. On
Idolatry, Chapter X. Translated by S. Thelwall. Excerpted from AnteNicene Fathers, Volume 3. Edited by Alexander Roberts and James
Donaldson. American Edition, 1885. Online Edition Copyright

But, however, the majority (of Christians) have by this time induced
the belief in their mind that it is pardonable if at any time they do
what the heathen do, for fear the Name be blasphemedTo live
with heathens is lawful, to die with them is not. Let us live with all;
let us be glad with them, out of community of nature, not of
superstition. We are peers in soul, not in discipline; fellowpossessors of the world, not of error. But if we have no right of
communion in matters of this kind with strangers, how far more
wicked to celebrate them among brethren! Who can maintain or
defend this?By us,the Saturnalia and New-years and
Midwinters festivals and Matronalia are frequentedpresents come
and goNew-years giftsgames join their noisebanquets join their
din! Oh better fidelity of the nations to their own sect, which claims
no solemnity of the Christians for itself!Not the Lords day, not
Pentecost, even it they had known them, would they have shared
with us; for they would fear lest they should seem to be
Christians. We are not apprehensive lest we seem to be
heathens! (Tertullian. On Idolatry, Chapter XIV. Translated by S.

But let your works shine, saith He; but now all our shops and
gates shine! You will now-a-days find more doors of heathens
without lamps and laurel-wreaths than of Christians. What does the
case seem to be with regard to that species (of ceremony) also? If it
is an idols honour, without doubt an idols honour is idolatry. If it is
for a mans sake, let us again consider that all idolatry is for mans
sake; let us again consider that all idolatry is a worship done to men,
since it is generally agreed even among their worshippers that
aforetime the gods themselves of the nations were men; and so it
makes no difference whether that superstitious homage be rendered
to men of a former age or of this. Idolatry is condemned, not on
account of the persons which are set up for worship, but on
account of those its observances, which pertain to
demons(Tertullian. On Idolatry, Chapter XV. Translated by S.

An Armenian scholar called Ananias of Shirak, circa 600 A.D., wrote:
The Festival of the holy Birth of Christ, on the 12th day before the
feast of the Baptism, was not appointed by the holy apostles, nor by
their successors either, as is clear from the canons of the holy
apostleswhich is 6th of January, according to the Romans.
But many years after their fixing the canons, this festival was
invented, as some say, by the disciples of the heretic
Cerinthus; and was accepted by the Greeks, because they were
truly fond of festivals and most fervent in piety; and by them it was
spread and diffused all over the world.
But in the days of the holy Constantine, in the holy Council of Nice,
this festival was not received by the holy fathers (Ananias of Shirak,
On Christmas, The Expositor, 5th series vol. 4 (1896) Translation.
pp.323-337, as reported by ccel).
Cerinthus was a heretic who the Apostle John publicly denounced
towards the end of the first century. Notice that Irenaeus wrote that
John detested Cerinthus so much that he would not even take a bath
in the same building as him:
There are also those who heard from him that John, the disciple of
the Lord, going to bathe at Ephesus, and perceiving Cerinthus
within, rushed out of the bath-house without bathing, exclaiming,
Let us fly, lest even the bath-house fall down, because Cerinthus,
the enemy of the truth, is within. (Irenaeus. Adversus Haeres. Book
III, Chapter 3, Verse 4).
The Roman Catholics have also condemned Cerinthus as a heretic:
Cerinthus A Gnostic-Ebionite heretic, contemporary with St. John
Cerinthus was an Egyptian, and if not by race a JewCerinthuss
doctrines were a strange mixture of Gnosticism, Judaism, Chiliasm,
and Ebionitism (Arendzen J.P. Transcribed by William D. Neville. The
Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume III. Published 1908. New York: Robert
Appleton Company. Nihil Obstat, November 1, 1908. Remy Lafort,
S.T.D., Censor. Imprimatur. John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop of New
York).
The Catholic Encyclopedia admits this about Christmas:
ChristmasIrenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts;
Origen, glancing perhaps at the discreditable imperial Natalitia,
asserts (in Lev. Hom. viii in Migne, P.G., XII, 495) that in the
Scriptures sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthday;
Arnobius (VII, 32 in P.L., V, 1264) can still ridicule the birthdays of
the gods.
Alexandria. The first evidence of the feast is from Egypt. About A.D.
200, Clement of Alexandria (Strom., I, xxi in P.G., VIII, 888) says that
certain Egyptian theologians over curiously assign, not the year
alone, but the day of Christs birth, placing it on 25 Pachon (20 May)
in the twenty-eighth year of Augustus
Cyprus, Mesopotamia, Armenia, Asia Minor. In Cyprus, at the end of
the fourth century, Epiphanius asserts against the Alogi (Hr., li, 16,
24 in P. G., XLI, 919, 931) that Christ was born on 6 January
Rome. At Rome the earliest evidence is in the Philocalian Calendar
(P. L., XIII, 675; it can be seen as a whole in J. Strzygowski,
Kalenderbilder des Chron. von Jahre 354, Berlin, 1888), compiled in
354, which contains three important entries. In the civil calendar 25
December is marked Natalis Invicti
By the time of Jerome and Augustine, the December feast is
established, though the latter (Epp., II, liv, 12, in P.L., XXXIII, 200)
omits it from a list of first-class festivals. From the fourth century
every Western calendar assigns it to 25 December
Notice what The Catholic Encyclopedia reported:
JerusalemIn 385, therefore, 25 December was not observed at
Jerusalem.This checks the so-called correspondence between Cyril
of Jerusalem (348-386) and Pope Julius I (337-352), quoted by John
of Nikiu (c. 900) to convert Armenia to 25 December (see P.L., VIII,
964 sqq.). Cyril declares that his clergy cannot, on the single feast of
Birth and Baptism, make a double procession to Bethlehem and
Jordan. (This later practice is here an anachronism.) He asks Julius to
assign the true date of the nativity from census documents brought
by Titus to Rome; Julius assigns 25 December(Martindale C.
Christmas, 1908).
Notice what a Franciscan Catholic priest from Jerusalem reported:
The peregrinations also extended to Bethlehem on the occasion of
the Epiphany, which was a feast that united with Christmas.
The feast of Christmas, on December 25 despite the protestation of
St. Jerome that the feast was already universal, was not
introduced until the 6th century (Bagatti, Bellarmino. Translated by
Eugene Hoade. The Church from the Gentiles in Palestine, Part 1,

Mixing Christianity & Paganism
Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it Will Durant20th Century American Historian
Puritans
Puritans sought to keep the Biblical commandments click here
When the Puritans came to power in the 1600s, they attacked
Christmas as the old heathens feasting day to Saturn their god.
Even singing carols was forbidden.
In 1644, in protest against Christmas, the Church of England
proclaimed December 25th as a fast day, and Parliament banned
celebrating the festival. The new rule was enforced by the English
army, and the prohibition was enforced with great rigor.
In the 17th century, the English anti-Christmas attitude spread to
the Puritan territories in America. As ardent Protestants, Puritans
identified the embracing of Christianity by the Roman Emperor
Constantine in the early 300s as the starting point of the
degeneration and corruption of the church. They believed the
corruption of the church was brought on by the interweaving of the
church with the pagan Roman state. To Puritans, Christmas was
impure because it entered the Roman Church sometime in this
period. The New England culture was permeated with Puritan
values. As late as 1847, no college in New England had a Christmas
holiday.
The Puritans banned the holiday in 1659.
For preventing disorders, arising in several places within this
jurisdiction by reason of some still observing such festivals as were
superstitiously kept in other communities, to the great dishonor of
God and offense of others: it is therefore ordered by this court and
the authority thereof that whosoever shall be found observing any
such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor,
feasting, or any other way, upon any such account as aforesaid,
every such person so offending shall pay for every such offence five
shilling as a fine to the county.
From the records of the General Court,
Massachusetts Bay Colony
May 11, 1659
The General Court banned the celebration of Christmas and other
such holidays at the same time it banned gambling and other
lawless behavior, grouping all such behaviors together. The court
placed a fine of five shillings on anyone caught feasting or
celebrating the holiday in another manner.
The generality of Christmas-keepers observe that festival after
such a manner as is highly dishonourable to the name of Christ.
How few are there comparatively that spend those holidays (as they
are called) after an holy manner. But they are consumed in
Compotations, in Interludes, in playing at Cards, in Revellings, in

Not celebrated by early believers

fact the observance of birthdays was condemned as a heathen
custom repugnant to Christians,click here The American Book of
Days, George W. Douglas, p. 658
Saturnalia
In memory of the Golden Age of man, a mythical age when
Saturnclick here was said to have ruled, a great feast called
Saturnalia was held during the winter months around the time of the
winter solstice.
In Babylon he was called Ninib and was an agricultural deity. Saturn,
called Cronus by the Greeks, was, at the dawn of the Ages of the
Gods, the Protector and Sower of the Seed and his wife, Ops, (called
Rhea by the Greeks) was a Harvest Helper.
In memory of the Golden Age, when Saturn reigned in Italy, the
great feast of Saturnalia was held every year during the winter. The
idea of it was that the Golden Age returned to the earth during the
days it lasted.
Author Hugo Slim reminds us that Christmas is perhaps the best
example of the early Church Christianizing the traditional nonChristian festivals of a seasonin this case the festivals of returning
light surrounding the winter solstice (A Feast of Festivals, pp. 36
37). The Romans celebrated the solstice season as the Saturnalia,
honoring Saturn, the god of agriculture (Fillmore, p. 10).
This connection to the Saturnalia reveals an even darker side to
Christmas traditions, and shows plainly why Christmas is not a childfriendly holiday! The Encyclopaedia Britannica explains that at the
feast of Saturnalia, all classes exchanged gifts, the commonest
being wax tapers and clay dolls. These dolls were especially given to
children (article: Saturnalia, 11th edition). What was the
purpose of those gifts? Varro thought these dolls represented
original sacrifices of human beings to the infernal god.
There was, as we have seen, a tradition that human
sacrifices were once offered to Saturn, and the Greeks and
Romans gave the name of Cronus and Saturn to a cruel
Phoenician Baal, to whom, e.g. children were sacrificed at
Carthage (ibid.).
Saturnaliathe festival Christmas absorbedeven carries echoes of
ancient child sacrifice! It sounds horrific that dolls were given as
gifts as symbols or proxies of children burnt to pagan gods. Yet this
practice echoes the modern tradition of hanging cherubs or human
figures on Christmas trees! The ancient Greeks placed small masks
called oscilla on branches, where they could twirl freely in the wind.
Encyclopaedia Britannica explains that oscilla were small figures,
most commonly masks or faces, that were hung up as offerings to
various deities. The custom of hanging these oscilla represents an
older practice of expiating human sacrifice (ibid.).
Not only did ancient Saturn-worship and fire-worship involve child
sacrifice, it also included cannibalism. Author John Garnier noted:
Cannibalism appears to have been initiated by Cronus, i.e.
Saturn For we are told by Sanchoniathon that Cronus was the
originator of human sacrifices Saturn is represented as
devouring his own children. (The Worship of the Dead, pp. 34
35).
Passing through the fire to Molech
Jer 7:30 For the sons of Judah have done evil in My eyes,
says YHWH. They have set their idols in the house on which
is called My name, in order to defile it.
Jer 7:31 They have built the high places of Tophet in the
valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their
daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it
come into My heart.
Psa 106:34 They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah
said to them,
Psa 106:35 but mingled with the nations, and learned their
works.
Psa 106:36 And they served their idols, and they became a
snare to them.
Psa 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their
daughters to the demons;
Psa 106:38 and they shed innocent blood, the blood of their
sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the
idols of Canaan. And the land was polluted with the blood.
Psa 106:39 And they were unclean with their works, and
went whoring in their acts.
Alexander Hislop in his book, The Two Babylons, says, The god
whom the Druids worshipped was Baal, as the blazing Baal-fires
show We know that they offered human sacrifices to their bloody
gods. We have evidence that they made `their children pass through
the fire to Molech, and that makes it highly probable that they also
offered them in sacrifice; for, from Jeremiah 32:35, compared with
Jeremiah 19:5, we find that these two things were parts of one and
the same system. Further, it is to be noted that the priests of
Nimrod or Baal were necessarily required to eat of the human
sacrifices; and thus it has come to pass that `Cahna-Bal, (Cahna is
the emphatic form of Cahn which means `a priest) meaning the
priest of Baal, is the established word in our tongue for a devourer
of human flesh. (from The Two Babylons, Hislop. See page 232).
John Gill commentary
to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire: which was done,
as Jarchi says, by putting them into the arms of the brasen image
Moloch, heated hot. The account he gives of Tophet is this,
Tophet is Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated him
from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made
hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it
vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father
might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be
moved:
but in this he is mistaken; for Tophet was not the name of an idol,
but of a place, as is clear from this and the following verse. There is
some agreement between this account of Jarchi, and that which
Diodorus Siculus (z) gives of Saturn, to whom children were
sacrificed by the Carthaginians; who had, he says, a brasen image
of Saturn*, which stretched out his hands, inclining to the earth; so
that a child put upon them rolled down, and fell into a chasm full of
fire:
*This is important to note. The worship of Saturn = Baal
worship. This brazen image of Saturn is the origin of placing children
into the lap of Santa Claus. Halloweenclick here (death) and
Christmas (birthdays) are intimately connected. Birthdaysclick
here originally were celebrations of the dead which can be seen by
the Greek word that is translated into birthday.
Moreover, the Romans practiced human sacrifice during the
Saturnalia and human heads adorned the pine trees as ornaments.
William Smith, in his Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities
notes this is stated distinctly in Macrobius who tells us that on the
Saturnalia presents were made with little pottery figures or faces.
And he adds that, as with Dionysus, We have then the propitiation
by human sacrifice once real and afterwards simulated, at festivals
of Jupiter, and of gods connected with death, Saturnus (to whom
human sacrifice especially belonged). These masks or figures
were hung upon the boughs of treesfor Vergil speaks of a pine
There can be little doubt that (they)represented sacrifices.
The 12th century rabbi Rashi, commenting on Jeremiah 7.31 stated:
Tophet is Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated him
from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made
hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it
vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father
might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be
moved.
A different rabbinical tradition says that the idol was hollow and was
divided into seven compartments, in one of which they put flour, in
the second turtle-doves, in the third a ewe, in the fourth a ram, in
the fifth a calf, in the sixth an ox, and in the seventh a child, which
were all burnt together by heating the statue inside.
This is the origin of
setting children on the lap of Santa.
Christmas Bacchus connectionclick here
Two Babylons pg 95
It was no mere astronomic festival, then, that the Pagans celebrated
at the winter solstice. That festival at Rome was called the
feast of Saturn, and the mode in which it was celebrated there,
showed whence it had been derived. The feast, as regulated by
Caligula, lasted five days; * loose reins were given to
drunkenness and revelry, slaves had a temporary
emancipation, **and used all manner of freedoms with their
masters. {Exactly the same as the feast of Bacchus seen above
that Antiochus forced Yisrael into doing}
* Subsequently the number of the days of the Saturnalia was
increased to seven.
** If Saturn, or Kronos, was, as we have seen reason to believe,
Phoroneus, The
emancipator, the temporary emancipation of the slaves at his
festival was
exactly in keeping with his supposed character.
This is important to note. This is a counterfeit of the Jubilee of the
Scriptures. The Jubilee was sounded at Yom Kippur and Sukkot
which follows 5 days later is a picture of dwelling/tabernacling with
the Messiah when He returns. According to the book of Maccabees,
Hanukkah is just a replay of Sukkot (2Maccabees 1:9). So we see
two opposing feasts which represent two opposing marks.
Hanukkah which is a 2nd Sukkot where the Temple (body) is
rededicated (resurrection) at the coming of the Messiah or
Christmas which is a rehearsal of the coming of the antichrist where
the Temple (body) is defiled (mark of beast).
Christmas Customs
Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church . . The
first evidence of the feast is from Egypt. Pagan customs centering
around the January calends [the pagan calendar] gravitated to
Christmas. Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 ed., Christmas.

protracted till late at night and indulge in revelry
Christmas plays
The European drama had its origin in Greece. Both forms, tragic and
comic, took their rise in the celebrations of the Greek festivals of
Dionysus (Bacchus), at which hymns and chants were sung by
choruses in honour of the god, and the chorus continued to be a
prominent feature of the old Greek drama.
In most modern European countries the regular drama took its rise
in the mysteries, miracle-plays, and moralities of the middle ages.
Holly/Ivy wreaths
According to The Green Mountain Gardener, Dr. Leonard Perry,
ancient pagans fashioned ivy into wreaths and garlands for
decorations during the winter months. Ivy had close ties with
the Roman god of wine, Bacchus. Holly, meanwhile, figured
prominently in the Roman celebration of the Saturnalia (upon which
the Christmas holiday was directly modeled), as it was considered
sacred to Saturn.
Circular wreaths of evergreen
branches (especially holly) were a featured part
of the festival. These were formed in the shape of the
sun, and represented life which could not exist without sunlight.
These wreaths were placed on inside and outside
walls during the celebrations. At the time of initiation
into the Dionysian mysteries, these were worn by
the initiates as fertility symbols. They represented the
perpetuity of existence through on-going cycles of life,
death, and rebirth.
Holly berries were also considered sacred to the sungod.
The use of Christmas wreaths is believed by authorities
to be traceable to the pagan customs of decorating
buildings and places of worship at the feast
which took place at the same time as Christmas.
Frederick J. Haskins, Answers to Questions.
Mistletoe
Where did the mistletoe custom originate?
Among the ancients, because mistletoe was considered
sacred to the sun, it was used at the December
festival of the winter solstice, when the sun was lowest
in the noon sky.
Kissing under the mistletoe was thought to be an
act of solar worship, empowering the worshipers for still
further worship. As this indicates, pagan sun-worship
services were very licentious. Temple prostitution was
performed during the eight-day Roman Saturnalia which
immediately preceded the December 25 sun-birth celebration.
The winter solstice (Dec 25) was the time
at which all the sun-gods from Osiris to Jupiter
and Mithra had celebrated their (birthdays),
the celebration being adorned with the pine tree of
Adonis, the Holy of Saturn, and the Mistletoe tappers
represented the kindling of the newborn sun-gods
fire
[Man and His Gods, p.2013].
The mistletoe was a sacred plant
in the pagan religion of the Druids in Britain. It was believed to have
all sorts of miraculous qualities: the
power of healing diseases, making poisons harmless,
giving fertility to humans and animals, protecting from
witchcraft, banning evil spirits, bringing good luck and
great blessings. In fact, it was considered so sacred that
even enemies who happened to meet beneath a mistletoe
in the forest would lay down their arms, exchange a
friendly greeting, and keep a truce until the following
day. From this old custom grew [p. 104] the practice of
suspending mistletoe over a doorway or in a room as a
token of good will and peace to all comers . .
After Britain was converted from paganism to Christianity,
the bishops did not allow the mistletoe to be
used in churches because it had been the main symbol
of a pagan religion. Even to this day mistletoe is rarely
used as a decoration for altars. There was, however, one
exception. At the Cathedral of York at one period before
the Reformation a large bundle of mistletoe was brought
into the sanctuary each year at Christmas and solemnly
placed on the altar by a priest. In this rite the plant that
the Druids had called All-heal was used as a symbol of
Christ, the Divine Healer of nations.
The people of England then adopted the mistletoe
as a decoration for their homes at Christmas. Its old,
pagan religious meaning was soon forgotten, but some
of the other meanings and customs have survived: the
kiss under the mistletoe; the token of good will and friendship;
the omen of happiness and good luck and the new
religious significance.Francis X. Weiser, Handbook of
Christian Feasts and Customs (New York: Harcourt,
Brace and World, Inc., 1958), 103-104.
Exchanging gifts
The interchange of presents between friends is alike
characteristic of Christmas and the Saturnalia, and
must have been adopted by Christians from the pagans,
as the admonition of Tertullian plainly shows.
Bibiothica Sacra, Vol. 12, 153-155.
Christmas, THE WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA, Vol. 3, CCh, 1997
The first mention of December 25 as the birth date of Jesus
occurred in A.D. 336
in an early Roman calendar. The celebration of this day as Jesus
birth date was
probably influenced by pagan [unchristian] festivals held at that
time. The ancient
Romans held year-end celebrations to honor Saturn, their harvest
god; and Mithras,
the [sic] god of light As part of all these celebrations, the people
prepared special
foods, decorated their homes with greenery, and joined in singing
and gift giving.
These customs gradually became part of the Christmas celebration.
The Yule Log
The yule log. The calend fires were a scandal even to Rome, and St.
Boniface obtained from Pope Zachary their abolition (Martindale C.
Christmas, 1908).
Hence it is clear that even early Roman writers such as Irenaeus,
Tertullian, and Origen did not endorse Christmas, nor did Augustine
even list it as an important holiday. And that even later Catholic
sources recognize that it is not likely that a census (as shown in
Luke 2:1) would be done during the wintermaking a December 25th
date of birth unlikely (it was also too cold for shepherds to spend the
night with their flocks out in an open field, as shown in Luke 2:8,
making a December 25th birth basically impossible).
Yule {Eol} in Chaldee means infant.
It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on the same 25
December the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in
token of festivity. In these solemnities and revelries the Christians
also took part. Accordingly when the doctors of the Church
perceived that the Christians had a leaning to this festival, they took
counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnised on
that day. (cited in Christianity and Paganism in the Fourth to
Eighth Centuries, Ramsay MacMullen. Yale:1997, p155)
Christmas Trees
Jer 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto
you, O house of Israel:
Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the
heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for
the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one
cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman, with the axe.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten
it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the
stock is a doctrine of vanities.
Jer 10:9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish,
and gold from Uphaz (DAN 10:5), the work of the workman,
and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their
clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
Jer 10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have
not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall
perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
In the midst of Jeremiah 10 we read Jeremiah proclaim that there is
none like unto thee O YHWH! You are great, and your Name is great
in might. Who would not fear thee or King of the nations?
Jer 10:6 There is none like You, O YHWH; You are great, and
Your name is great in might.
This is a direct reference to Revelation 15 and those who overcome
the mark of the beast. Who is like thee is a reference back to the
Maccabees who overcame the mark of the beast in their day. The
name Maccabee is an acronym for mi kamocah belim YHWHwhich
comes from Exodus 15. The song of Moshe and the song of the
Lamb.
Coffin in The Book of Christmas Folklore tells us:
Most people have heard that the Christmas tree originates in the
tannenbaum and is some sort of vestige of Teutonic vegetation
worship. THIS IS PARTIALLY TRUE. However, the custom of using pine
and other evergreens ceremonially was well established at the
ROMAN SATURNALIA, even earlier in Egypt (p.209).
Catholic sources admit that the origin of Christmas trees is pagan.
So we dont reject the use of trees at Christmas time because they
were pagan, we continue to use them, because as symbols of life
they now point to Christ. (Killian Brian. Halloween, as autumn

Ashtoreth
The moon goddess of the Phoenicians, representing the passive
principle in nature, their principal female deity; frequently
associated with the name of Baal, the sun-god, their chief male
deity (Jdg_10:6; 1Sa_7:4; 1Sa_12:10). These names often occur in
the plural (Ashtaroth, Baalim), probably as indicating either different
statues or different modifications of the deities. This deity is spoken
of as Ashtoreth of the Zidonians. She was the Ishtar of the Accadians
and the Astarte of the Greeks (Jer_44:17; 1Ki_11:5, 1Ki_11:33;
2Ki_23:13). There was a temple of this goddess among the
Philistines in the time of Saul (1Sa_31:10). Under the name of Ishtar,
she was one of the great deities of the Assyrians. The Phoenicians
called her Astarte. Solomon introduced the worship of this idol
(1Ki_11:33). Jezebels 400 priests were probably employed in its
service (1Ki_18:19). It was called the queen of heaven (Jer_44:25).

the star of your god {hexagram/Talisman of Saturn/seal of
Solomon/star of David}, which ye made to yourselves; or the star
your god (q); meaning the same with Chiun or Saturn; perhaps
the same with the star that fell from the air or sky*,
mentioned by Sanchoniatho (r); which Astarte, the wife of
Chronus or Saturn, is said to take and consecrate in Tyre; this they
made for themselves, and worshipped as a deity.
Astarte was the wife of Saturn. Otherwise known as the wife of
Nimrod. Please notice in the image above that the hexagram was
her symbol as well. More on this at the bottom of this study.
ISBE (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
In Assyrian asirtu, which appears also under the forms asratu, esreti
(plural) and asru, had the further signification of sanctuary.
Originally Asirtu, the wife of Asir, and asirtu, sanctuary, seem to
have had no connection with one another, but the identity in the
pronunciation of the two words caused them to be identified in
signification, and as the tree-trunk or cone of stone which
symbolized Asherah was regarded as a Beth-el or house of
the deity*, wherein the goddess was immanent, the word Asirtu,
Asherah, came to denote the symbol of the goddess. The trunk of
the tree was often provided with branches, and assumed the
form of the tree of life*. It was as a trunk, however, that it was
forbidden to be erected by the side of the altar of Yahweh
(Deu_16:21; see Jdg_6:25, Jdg_6:28, Jdg_6:30; 2Ki_23:6). Accordingly
the symbol made for Asherah by his mother was cut down by Asa
(1Ki_15:13). So, too, we hear of Asherim or symbols of the goddess
being set up on the high places under the shade of a green tree
(Jer_17:2; see 2Ki_17:10). Manasseh introduced one into the temple
at Jerusalem (2Ki_21:3, 2Ki_21:7).
*This connection between the Christmas tree the House of God
(Bethel) and the tree of Life is important to note. The Christmas
tree is a counterfeit tree of life which is really the tree of knowledge
of good and evil. The tree of life represents the Messiah who is
pictured by the menorah. The tree of knowledge represents the
adversary who is pictured by the Christmas tree/Asherah pole.
Exo 23:24 You shall not bow down to their gods, and you
shall not serve them. And you shall not do according to their
works. But tearing you shall tear them down, and smashing
you shall smash their pillars.

*This is the word used in Genesis referring to the stone that Jacob
anointed and proclaimed as Bethel.
Gen 28:18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took
the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for
a pillar{H4678 matstsebeth}, and poured oil upon the top of
it.
Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that
place Bethel {H1008 house of God}:: but the name of that city
was called Luz at the first.
Gen 35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar(H4678 matstsebeth) in the
place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and
he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil
thereon {This is a strong reference to the Messiah, which means
anointed one.}.
Gen 35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place where
God spake with him, Bethel{H1008 beythel house of God}
Messiah is the image of Elohim
2Co 4:4 in whom the god of this age has blinded the
thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the brightness of the
gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God, should
not dawn on them.
The congregation of believers are to be the image of Messiah
Rom 8:29 because whom He foreknew, He also
predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, for
Him to be the First-born among many brothers.
2Co 3:18 But we all with our face having been unveiled,
having beheld the glory of the Lord in a mirror, are being
changed into the same image from glory to glory, as from
the Lord Spirit.
Here we see that the pillar that Jacob anointed is to be the house of
Elohim. His house are His people (Hebrews 3:6). His body. Pictured
by the menorah, the tree of Life. The counterfeit is a pillar/Asherah
which is called Bethel. The antichrists house are his people. His
body. Pictured by the Christmas tree, the tree of knowledge.

1Ki 5:6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me
cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with

The Christmas tree that comes from pagan cultures is a
counterfeit, much like their entire religion. It is supposed to
represent the tree of life, however it really represents the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil which the heathen cultures believed
was the true tree of life.
Our star, Greek aster, Latin stella, is akin*. Her worship
was most licentious and abominable; closely connected with that of
(See ASHERAH, THE GROVE. Ashtoreh is the goddess, asherah
the grove, the image or the symbol of the goddess, of
wood;* asher, yashar, to be straight, a straight stem of a tree
living, or fixed upright (1Ki_18:19; 2Ki_21:7; 2Ki_23:6; 2Ki_23:13-14;
2Ki_23:15; Jdg_6:25; Jdg_6:30). The bringing out the asherah from
the house of the Lord, and the cutting down, suit such a symbol,
not a grace in our sense. The active and passive powers of
nature, generative and receptive, suggested the male and
female deities, Baal and Ashtoreh. {This is seen further in the
principle as above, so below which will be discussed in connection
to the mark of the beast in a future study, Yah willing}
Again, another connection to the star (hexagram) and the
Asherah (Christmas tree).
Exo 34:11 Take heed for yourself what I am commanding
you today. Behold, I am about to drive out from before your
face the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and
the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Exo 34:12 Take heed to yourself, that you not cut a
covenant with the people of the land to which you are going
in, that it not be a snare in your midst.
Exo 34:13 But you shall cut down their altars, break their
pillars, and you shall cut off their Asherahs.

demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and a
table of demons. {Mixed worship}

their carved images with fire.
Deu 7:6 For you are a holy people to YHWH your God. YHWH
your God has chosen you to be His own treasure out of all
the people on the face of the earth.
John Gill commentary on Deu. 7:5
Deu 7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them,. The inhabitants of the
land of Canaan:
ye shall destroy their altars; on which they sacrificed to their idols:
and break down their images; of their gods, and the statues and
pillars erected to the honour of them:
and cut down their groves; sacred to idols, which were usually
planted on hills, and about Heathen temples, and under which idols
were placed to be worshipped. The Targum of Jonathan calls
them trees of their adoration, under which they worshipped;
though there was a worship paid to them, not indeed directly to
them, or for their sakes, but for the sake of the idols they were
sacred to, or were placed under them; so Maimonides (e) says, a
tree which at first was planted to be worshipped is
forbidden of any use (or profit); and this is the , or
grove, spoken of in the law, a tree planted and lopped, of
which a graven image is made for an idol; and so the tree that has
been worshipped, though the body of it is, not forbidden, all the
shoots and leaves, and the branches, and the fruits it produces all
the time it is worshipped, are forbidden to be used: though the word
here used sometimes seems to signify, not a grove of trees, but
some image itself, since we read of it in the temple, 2Ki_21:7,
and burn their graven images with fire; distinguished from their
molten images, which may be meant in a preceding clause, and
which are particularly mentioned as to be destroyed as well as
these, Num_33:52.
(e) Hilchot Obede Cochabim, c. 8. sect. 3, 4. Vid. Misn. Avodah
Zarah, c. 3. sect. 7.
Deu 12:3 And you shall break down their altars, and shatter
their standing pillars. And you shall burn their
Asherahs with fire. And you shall cut down the carved
images of their gods, and shall destroy their names out of
that place.
Deu 12:4 You shall not do so to YHWH your God.
Two Babylons Alexander Hislop
The Christmas tree, now so common among us, was equally
common in Pagan Rome and Pagan Egypt. In Egypt that tree
was the palm-tree; in Rome it was the fir; the palm-tree
denoting the Pagan Messiah, as Baal-Tamar, the fir referring
to him as Baal-Berith.
The mother of Adonis, the Sun-God and great mediatorial divinity,
was mystically said to have been changed into a tree, and when in
that state to have brought forth her divine son. If the mother was
a tree, the son must have been recognised as the Man the
branch. And this entirely accounts for the putting of the Yule Log
into the fire on Christmas-eve, and the appearance of the
Christmas-tree the next morning. As Zero-Ashta, The seed of the
woman, which name also signified Ignigena, or born of the fire,
he has to enter the fire on Mother-night, that he may be born the
next day out of it, as the Branch of God, or the Tree that brings all
divine gifts to men. But why, it may be asked, does he enter the fire
under the symbol of a Log? To understand this, it must be
remembered that the divine child born at the winter solstice was
born as a new incarnation of the great god (after that god had been
cut in pieces), on purpose to revenge his death upon his murderers.
Now the great god, cut off in the midst of his power and glory, was
symbolised as a huge tree, stripped of all its branches, and cut down
almost to the ground. But the great serpent, the symbol of the
life restoring Aesculapius, twists itself around the dead
stock (see figure 27), and lo, at its side up sprouts a young treea
tree of an entirely different kind, that is destined never to be cut
down by hostile powereven the palm-tree, the well-known symbol
of victory*.
*Notice that the serpent wrapping around this tree brings forth life
from the dead or resurrection or transformation. This will be seen
below in connection with the Christmas tree and Kundalini.
The Christmas-tree, as has been stated, was generally at Rome a
different tree, even the fir; but the very same idea as was implied in
the palm-tree was implied in the Christmas-fir; for that covertly
symbolised the new-born God as Baal-berith, * Lord of the
Covenant, and thus shadowed forth the perpetuity and everlasting
nature of his power, not that after having fallen before his enemies,
he had risen triumphant over them all.
* Baal-bereth, which differs only in one letter from Baal-berith, Lord
of the Covenant, signifies Lord of the fir-tree.
Therefore, the 25th of December, the day that was observed
at Rome as the day when the victorious god reappeared on
earth, was held at the Natalis invicti solis, The birth-day of the
unconquered Sun. Now the Yule Log is the dead stock of Nimrod,
deified as the sun-god, but cut down by his enemies; the
Christmas-tree is Nimrod redivivusthe slain god come to life
again.*
*Again it is seen that Christmas is not about birth. But about life
from the dead/rebirth or the evolution of man into homo noeticus.
The promise of the adversary in the garden.
In the light reflected by the above statement on customs that still
linger among us, the origin of which has been lost in the midst of
hoar antiquity, let the reader look at the singular practice still kept
up in the South on Christmas-eve, of kissing under the mistletoe
bough. That mistletoe bough in the Druidic superstition,
which, as we have seen, was derived from Babylon, was a
representation of the Messiah, The man the branch. The
mistletoe was regarded as a divine branch *a branch that
came from heaven, and grew upon a tree that sprung out of
the earth.

FROM CHRISTMAS IN RITUAL BY CLEMENT MILES
Let us turn to the customs of the Roman Empire which may be in
part responsible for the German Christmas-tree. The practice of
adorning houses with evergreens at the January Kalends was
common throughout the Empire, as we learn from Libanius,
Tertullian, and Chrysostom. A grim denunciation of such decorations
and the lights which accompanied them may be quoted
from Tertullian; it makes a pregnant contrast of pagan and
Christian. Let them, he says of the heathen, kindle lamps,
they who have no light; let them fix on the doorposts laurels
which shall afterwards be burnt, they for whom fire is close
at hand; meet for them are testimonies of darkness and
auguries of punishment. But thou, he says to the Christian,
art a light of the world and a tree that is ever green; if thou
hast renounced temples, make not a temple of thy own
house-door.
Birthday connectionclick here
Herod reigned over the Jews in Syria, in the times of Augustus;
therefore the Herodians kept Herods birthday, as also the
sabbath, on which day they set up candles in the windows
lighted, and encircled with violets.
This they did, believing him to be the Messiah: and it is further to be
observed, that the word here used, is said (r) to be proper to the
dead, and not to the living; and that he that uses it of the living,
speaks very inaccurately: but however, it was a festival, and a
time of great mirth and jollity; and a proper opportunity offered
to Herodias, to execute her malicious designs against John the
Baptist; for at this time,
2Ma 6:7 On the monthly celebration of the kings birthday,
the Jews were taken, under bitter constraint, to partake of
the sacrifices; and when the feast of Dionysus came, they

Isa 1:29 For they shall be ashamed of the trees which you
lusted after; and you shall be ashamed of the gardens that
you have chosen.
Isa 1:30 For you shall be like a tree whose leaf fades, and

The Christmas tree represents the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil. The Menorah represents the tree of Life, Yahshua where
the living waters come from (Psalm 1).
Isa 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green

Isa 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee,
saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the
right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Isa 30:22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven
images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of
gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou
shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
Eze 16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and

Eze 6:13 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their
slain men shall be among their idols round about their
altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains,

place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
Jer 3:6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the
king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath

Christmas tree Kundalini connection
Kundalini is the belief that there is
a serpent encoiled at the base of the spine which can be meditation
and spiritual acts, causing it to climb the spine where it reaches
your pineal gland and opens your 3rd eye. Interestingly, the word
for spine and tree are the same.
The serpent
rises up the spine to the pineal gland which was represented in
ancient cultures as the pine cone.the fruit of the pine tree.
Staff of Osiris
Staff of Bacchus
The pine cone is associated with the Sumerian Annunaki who are
said to have created men from clay jars. This is referring to
manipulation of DNA which will need to be discussed in greater
detail in another study but needless to say it is associated with the
Kundalini spirit, the awakening of the serpent and the result of man
being enlightened or evolving into a higher spiritual being.
Notice that Christmas tree lights are connected to the serpent. The
word for serpent is nachash which literally means shining one. This
is also connected to Lucifer which means light bringer. Here we see
the Christmas tree, which represents the born again pagan Christ
who brings enlightenment to mankind.
Antichrist connection
The tradition of the Christmas tree symbolically portrayed the death
and reincarnation of Osiris in his son, Horus:
the divine child born at the winter solstice was born as a new
incarnation of the great god (after that god had been cut in pieces
on purpose to revenge his death upon his murderers.) Now the great
god, cut off in the midst of his power and glory, was symbolised as a
huge tree, stripped of all his branches, and cut down almost to the
ground. But the great Serpent, the symbol of the life restoring
Aesculapius, twists itself around the dead stockand lo, at its side
sprouts a young tree a tree of an entirely different kind, that is
never to be cut down by a hostile power -and thus shadowed forth
the perpetuity and everlasting nature of his power, how that after
having fallen before his enemies, he has risen triumphant over them
all. Therefore, the 25th of December, the day that was
observed in Rome as the day when the victorious god
reappeared on earth was held at the Natalis invicti solis, The
birthday of the unconquered Sun.
The feast of Christmas is, in allegorical form, the pagan celebration
of the Serpents eventual triumph over the very God who frustrated
the Babylonian attempt to build a tower to heaven (symbolized by a
tree). By reviving and restoring the mystery religions as they were
practiced in the pre-flood civilization, Horus became the Egyptian
savior and virtual counterpart of Jesus Christ. In her Theosophical
Glossary, H.P. Blavatsky thus describes Horus:
Horus (Eg.). The last in the line of divine Sovereigns in Egypt, said
to be the son of Osiris and Isis. He is the great god loved of
Heaven, the beloved of the Sun, the offspring of the gods, the
subjugator of the world. At the time of the Winter Solstice (our
Christmas), his image in the form of a small newly-born infant, was
brought out from the sanctuary for the adoration of the worshipping
crowds
In pagan Rome, the celebration of the Winter Solstice began on
December 17 with the feast of Saturn also called the Saturnalia.
Through December 23rd, the Roman world engaged in merrymaking
and the exchanging of gifts in honor of Saturn, the god of sowing
and husbandry and, according to a Rosicrucian source, to
commemorate a future Golden Age of Saturn:
Here is the general reformation of the world announced in the
Rosicrucian manifestos described as a world reformation Whilst
involving definite reforms in education, church, and law, this general
reformation has millenarian overtones; it will bring the world back
to the state in which Adam found it, which was also Saturns
golden age. So, in the Confessio, the second Rosicrucian
manifesto, the general reformation is said to presage a great influx
of truth and light such as surrounded Adam in Paradise, and which
God will allow before the end of the worldthis millennium, this
return to the golden age of Adam and Saturn, is said to be
assisted by the high society of the Rosicrucians.

transformed into the Divine Superman. This symbol- Christian Rose
Cross- shows the end and aim of human evolution; the solution of
the World Mystery Mans past evolution, present constitution, and
particularly the secret of his future development.
Christmas is a Christianized form of Saturnalia. The winter-solstice
celebration in honor of Saturn. It established that Saturns mark is
the hexagram and is the star which ancient Yisrael worshipped in
the wilderness according to the prophet Amos.
Interestingly, it is said that Mithras referred to himself as a star.

On Christmas Day in 800, while Charlemagne knelt in prayer in Saint

The Star of Bethlehem, also called the Christmas Star, is a star in
Christian tradition that revealed the birth of Jesus to the magi (or
wise men) and later led them to Bethlehem.
The Gift Of The Magi, p. 4.
Christ is a Greek word for king. A king was one who was literally
born under the cosmic signature of the Kings Star. Jesus, as we
know, was born in the lineage of the House of David. But to be born
in the lineage of David didnt only mean that you had parents in that
lineage. It also meant that you were born under the Star of David,
which occurred when Jupiter, the King s Star, aligned with Saturn
there was, in fact, a triple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, in the
sign of Pisces, in the years 7-6 BC.
the religion of Saturn is Saturnian gnosis which turns out to be a
rehash of the gnosticism that the high level Satanists believe in.
Saturn is severe. Jupiter is mild. The merging of Saturn (severity)
with Jupiter is the creation of the new Golden Age according to
high level Satanic hierarchy teachings. Fritz Springmeier & Cisco

The Hexagram and the Pentagram are synonomous
The pentacle is also the logo of the Theosophical Society. Founder
H.P. Blavatsky identifies the pentacle as: Any geometrical figure,
especially double equilateral triangle, the six-pointed star, (like the
theosophical pentacle). The Theosophical Glossary, p. 251.
Albert Pike, stated: the blazing star represents [the] Star of
HorusMorning StarStar of SetLucifer. Cathy Burns, Hidden
Secrets Of The Eastern Star, pp.52-53
Since the quintessence is symbolized by the pentacle or six-pointed
star, we may infer that this essence which enhances material
elements is Lucifer, symbolized in occult language by the eagle or

ideal time for initiation rites:

The night between the 24th and 25th of December is the holy
night, par excellence, of the entire year. The zodiacal sign of the
Immaculate Celestial Virgin stands upon the eastern horizon near
midnight. The sun of the new year is then born and starts upon his
journey from the southernmost point toward the northern
hemisphere, to save that part of humanity (physically) from the
darkness and famine which would inevitably result if he were to
remain permanently south of the equator The spiritual influences
are strongest, in the north, at midnight of the 24th of December It
would then be easiest for those who wish to take a definite step
toward initiation to get in conscious touch with the spiritual time
The blazing star is ever there to guide him.
Share International Reveals Christmas Miracle
In 1988, CNN and other media reported on Maitreyas miraculous
appearance to 6,000 people in Nairobi, Kenya, on Saturday, June 11.
A week before the event, a remarkable sign occurred: On Saturday
4 June a big, bright star was sighted, unusually brighter than
ordinary stars, reported Kenya Times editor Job Mutungi.
News Release No. 87, 11 December 2008
Christmas Miracle
For years the world has been filled with miracles of all kinds. In April
1995 Time magazine devoted an eight-page spread to its cover
story on miracles, and concluded:People are hungry for signs.
Look now for the biggest miracle of all. In the very near future a
large, bright star will appear in the sky visible to all throughout the
world night and day.
Awaited by all faiths under different names, Maitreya is the Christ to
Christians, the Imam Mahdi to Muslims, Krishna to Hindus, the
Messiah to Jews, and Maitreya Buddha to Buddhists. He is the World
Teacher for all, religious or not, an educator in the broadest sense.
In the very near future, people everywhere will have the
opportunity to witness an extraordinary and significant sign, the like
of which has been manifested only once before, at the birth of Jesus.
Then, according to Christian teaching, a star appeared in the
heavens and led three wise men from the East to the birthplace of
Jesus. Soon, once again, a star-like luminary of brilliant power will be
seen around the world. (Benjamin Cremes Master, Maitreyas first
interview, SI Jan/Feb 2009)
On 12 December 2008 Share International distributed a news
release announcing that in the very near future a large, bright star
would appear in the sky visible throughout the world, night and day,
heralding the imminent appearance of Maitreya in His first interview
on a major US television programme. Since early January 2009
sightings of the star have been reported all over the world and
hundreds of sightings have been sent to Share International. We
include a selection of the latest reports from the media, Share

The term Novus Ordo Seclorum, A New Order of the Ages, was
adapted by Charles Thomson in 1782 who, while designing the
Great Seal of the United States, was inspired by a line in Virgils
Ecologue IV from the first century:
Now the last age by Cumae Sibyl has come and gone,
And the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew:
Justice returns, old Saturns reign
With a new breed of men sent down from heaven.
On do thou, at the boys birth in whom
The iron shall cease, the golden race arise,
Befriend him, chaste Lucina: this thine own Apollo reigns.
He shall receive the life of gods,
And see Heroes and gods commingling,
And himself be seen of them,
And with his fathers worth.

Santa Claus Poseidon connection
St.
Nicholas ever existed as a human. In fact, there are quite a few
indicators that his life story was simply recycled from those of Pagan
gods. Many other ancient Pagan gods and goddesses were similarly
Christianized in the early centuries of the Church. His legends seems
to have been mainly created out of myths attributed tothe Greek
God Poseidon, the Roman God Neptune, and the Teutonic God
Hold Nickar. In the popular imagination [of many Russians] he
became the heir of Mikoula, the god of harvest, who will replace
God, when God becomes too old.
St. Nicholas of Bari (Fourth Century), Catholic Information
Network, at: http://www.cin.org/nichbari.html
When the church created the persona of St. Nicholas, they
adopted Poseidons title the Sailor.They seem to have picked
up his last name from Nickar. Various temples of Poseidon became
shrines of St. Nicholas. 1 In medieval England in tiny sea ports we
find the typical little chapel built on an eminence and looking out to
sea. 8 St. Nicholas also adopted some of the qualities of The
Grandmother or Befana from Italy. She was said to have filled
childrens stockings with gifts. Her shrine at Bari was also converted
into a shrine to St. Nicholas.
Probably earlier than the association of St. Nicholas with Poseidon
is that with Demeter, or Diana*, whose cult was particularly in vogue
in Lycia, the scene of the principal events in the story of St.
Nicholas.

Christmas Celebration and Other Popular Customs (1917).
*Here we see again the connection between Nimrod & Semiramis.
Poseidon-The horse, the dolphin (the symbol of the calm sea)
and the pine-tree, with wreaths* of which the Isthmian
victors were crowned, were sacred to him.
By far the most famous of his festivals was that celebrated every
alternate year on the isthmus of Corinth, at which the Isthmian
games were held. Here a colossal statue of him was set up in
bronze by the Greeks after their victory over the Persians.
*Isthmian games:

vi (, kissos): The only mention of the word in all the sacred
writings is in 2 Macc 6:7 in connection with the oppression of the
Jews by Antiochus Epiphanes: On the day of the kings birth every
month they were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices;
and when the feast of Bacchus (Dionysus) was kept, the Jews were
compelled to go in procession to Dionysus, carrying ivy, this
plant (Hedera helix)* being sacred to the Greek god of wine and of
the culture of the vine (compare Eur. Bacchae, passim). It was of
ivy or of pine that the corruptible crown of the famous
1sthmian games was made (1Co_9:25).
1Co 9:25 But everyone striving controls himself in all
things. Then those truly that they may receive a corruptible
crown, but we an incorruptible.

A corruptible crown (phtharton stephanon). Stephanos (crown) is
from stepho, to put around the head, like the Latin corona, wreath
or garland, badge of victory in the games. In the Isthmian
games it was of pine leaves, earlier of parsley, in the Olympian
games of the wild olive. Yet these were the most coveted honours
in the whole Greek world (Findlay).

The birth of the Messiah
Luk 2:1 And it happened in those days, a decree went out
from Caesar Augustus for all the habitable world to be
registered.
Luk 2:2 This registration first occurred under the governing
of Syria by Cyrenius.
Luk 2:3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Luk 2:4 And Joseph also went from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David which is called
Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and family of
David,
Luk 2:5 to be registered with Mary, the one having been
betrothed to him as wife, she being pregnant.
Luk 2:6 And it happened as they were there, the days were
fulfilled for her to bear.
Luk 2:7 And she bore her son, the First-born. And she
wrapped Him and laid Him in the manger, because there was
no place for them in the inn.
Luk 2:8 And shepherds were in the same country living in
the fields and keeping guard over their flock by night.
Luk 2:9 And, behold, an angel of the Lord came on them.
And the glory of the Lord shone around them. And they
feared with a great fear.
Luk 2:10 And the angel said to them, Do not fear. For,
behold, I proclaim good news to you, a great joy, which will
be to all people,
Luk 2:11 because today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
was born to you in the city of David.
Luk 2:12 And this is a sign to you: You will find a babe
having been wrapped, lying in the manger.
Luk 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth,
good will among men.
Luk 2:15 And it happened as the angels departed from
them into the heaven, even the men, the shepherds, said to
one another, Indeed, let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us
see this thing occurring, which the Lord made known to us.
Luk 2:16 And hurrying, they came and sought out both
Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Luk 2:17 And seeing, they publicly told about the word
spoken to them about this Child.
Luk 2:18 And all those hearing marveled about the things
spoken to them by the shepherds.
Luk 2:19 And Mary kept all these words, meditating in her
heart.
Luk 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all things which they heard and saw, even
as was spoken to them.
The Shepherds would not have been in the fields during December
25th
Lightfoot commentary
Luk 2:8
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
[And there were shepherds keeping watch over their flock; etc.]
These are the sheep of the wilderness; viz. Those which go out to
pasture about the time of the Passover, and are fed in the fields,
and return home upon the first rain.
Which is the first rain? It begins on the third of the month
Marchesvan. The middle rain is on the seventh: the last on the
seventeenth. So R. Meier: but R. Judah saith, On the seventh,
seventeenth, and one-and-twentieth.
The spring coming on, they drove their beasts into wildernesses or
champaign grounds, where they fed them the whole summer,
keeping watch over them night and day, that they might not be
impaired either by thieves or ravenous beasts. They had for this
purpose their tower to watch in; or else certain small cottages
erected for this very end, as we have observed elsewhere. Now in
the month Marchesvan, which is part of our October and part of
November, the winter coming on, they betook themselves home
again with the flocks and the herds.
John Gill commentary
abiding in the field, watching over their flock by night: from whence
it appears, that Christ was born in the night; and the (o) Jews say,
that the future redemption shall be in the night; and Jerom says (p),
it is a tradition of the Jews, that Christ will come in the middle of the
night, as was the passover in Egypt: it is not likely that he was born,
as is commonly received, at the latter end of December, in the
depth of winter; since at this time, shepherds were out in the fields,
where they lodged all night, watching their flocks: they were diligent
men, that looked well to their flocks, and watched them by night, as
well as by day, to preserve them from beasts of prey; they were, as
it is in the Greek text, keeping the watches of the night over their
flock. The night was divided into four watches, the even, midnight,
cock crowing, and morning; and these kept them, as the Arabic
version adds, alternately, some kept the flock one watch, and some
another, while the rest slept in the tent, or tower, that was built in
the fields for that purpose. There were two sorts of cattle with the
Jews; there was one sort which they called , the cattle of the
wilderness, that lay in the fields; and another sort which they called
, the cattle of the house, that were brought up at home:
concerning both which, they have this rule (q),
they do not water nor slay the cattle of the wilderness, but they
water and slay the cattle of the house: these are the cattle of the
house, that lie in the city; the cattle of the wilderness, are they that
lie in the pastures.
On which, one of their commentators (r) observes,
these lie in the pastures, which are in the villages, all the days of
cold and heat, and do not go into the cities, until the rains descend.
The first rain is in the month Marchesvan, which answers to the
latter part of our October, and the former part of November; and of
this sort, seem to be the flocks those shepherds were keeping by
night, the time not being yet come, of their being brought into the
city: from whence it appears, that Christ must be born before the
middle of October, since the first rain was not yet come; concerning
this, the Gemara (s) is more large,
the Rabbins teach, that these are they of the wilderness, or fields,
and these are they of the house; they of the field are they that go
out on the passover, and feed in the pastures, and come in at the
first rain; and these are they of the house, all that go out and feed
without the border, and come and lie within the border (fixed for a
sabbath days journey): Rabbi says, those, and those are of the
house; but these are they that are of the field, all they that go out
and feed in the pastures, and do not come in to remain, neither in
the days of the sun, nor in the days of the rains.

Luk 2:8
There were shepherds abiding in the field There is no intimation
here that these shepherds were exposed to the open air. They dwelt
in the fields where they had their sheep penned up; but they
undoubtedly had tents or booths under which they dwelt.
Keeping watch by night Or, as in the margin, keeping the
watches of the night, i.e. each one keeping a watch (which ordinarily
consisted of three hours) in his turn. The reason why they watched
them in the field appears to have been, either to preserve the sheep
from beasts of prey, such as wolves, foxes, etc., or from freebooting
banditti, with which all the land of Judea was at that time much
infested. It was a custom among the Jews to send out their sheep to
the deserts, about the passover, and bring them home at the
commencement of the first rain: during the time they were out, the
shepherds watched them night and day. As the passover occurred in
the spring, and the first rain began early in the month of
Marchesvan, which answers to part of our October and November,
we find that the sheep were kept out in the open country during the
whole of the summer. And as these shepherds had not yet brought
home their flocks, it is a presumptive argument that October had
not yet commenced, and that, consequently, our Lord was not born
on the 25th of December, when no flocks were out in the fields; nor
could he have been born later than September, as the flocks were
still in the fields by night. On this very ground the nativity in
December should be given up. The feeding of the flocks by night in
the fields is a chronological fact, which casts considerable light upon
this disputed point. See the quotations from the Talmudists in
Lightfoot.
The time in which Christ was born has been considered a subject of
great importance among Christians. However, the matter has been
considered of no moment by Him who inspired the evangelists; as
not one hint is dropped on the subject, by which it might be possible
even to guess nearly to the time, except the chronological fact
mentioned above. A late writer makes the following remark: The
first Christians placed the baptism of Christ about the beginning of
the fifteenth year of Tiberius; and thence reckoning back thirty
years, they placed his birth in the forty-third year of the Julian
period, the forty-second of Augustus, and the twenty-eighth after
the victory at Actium. This opinion obtained till a.d. 527, when
Dionysius Exiguus invented the vulgar account. Learned and pious
men have trifled egregiously on this subject, making that of
importance which the Holy Spirit, by his silence, has plainly
informed them is of none. Fabricius gives a catalogue of no less than
136 different opinions concerning the Year of Christs birth: and as to
his birth Day, that has been placed by Christian sects and learned
men in every month in the year. The Egyptians placed it in January
Wagenseil, in February Bochart, in March some, mentioned by
Clemens Alexandrinus, in April others, in May Epiphanius speaks
of some who placed it in June and of others who supposed it to
have been in July Wagenseil, who was not sure of February, fixed it
probably in August Lightfoot, on the 15th of September Scaliger,
Casaubon, and Calvisius, in October others, in November but the
Latin Church, supreme in power, and infallible in judgment, placed it
on the 25th of December, the very day on which the ancient
Romans celebrated the feast of their goddess Bruma. See more in
Robinsons Notes on Claudes Essay, vol. i. p. 275, etc. Pope Julius I.
was the person who made this alteration, and it appears to have
been done for this reason: the sun now began his return towards the
northern tropic, ending the winter, lengthening the short days, and
introducing the spring. All this was probably deemed emblematical
of the rising of the Sun of righteousness on the darkness of this
world, and causing the day-spring from on high to visit mankind.
Alexander Hislop writes in The Two Babylons:
And first, as to the festival in honor of the birth of Christ, or
Christmas. How comes it that that festival was connected with the
25th of December? There is not a word in the Scriptures about the
precise day of His birth, or the time of the year when He was born.
What is recorded there, implies that at what time so ever His birth
took place, it could not have been on the 25th of December. At the
time that the angel announced His birth to the shepherds of
Bethlehem, they were feeding their flocks by night in the open
fields. Now, no doubt, the climate of Palestine is not so severe as
the climate of this country; but even there, though the heat of the
day be considerable, the cold of the night, from December to
February, is very piercing. It was not the custom for the shepherds
of Judea to watch their flocks in the open fields later than about the
end of October. It is in the last degree incredible, then, that the birth
of Christ could have taken place at the end of December. There is
great unanimity among commentators on this point (pp. 91-92).
Hislop continues:
Indeed, it is admitted by the most learned and candid writers of all
parties that the day of our Lords birth cannot be determined, and
that within the Christian Church no such festival as Christmas was
ever heard of until the third century, and that not till the fourth
century was far advanced did it gain much observance (pp. 92-93)

Conception of John the Baptist
Course of Abijah
Luk 1:5 In the days of Herod the king of Judea, there was a
certain priest named Zacharias, ofthe daily course of Abijah.
And his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name
was Elizabeth.
Luk 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking
blameless in all the commandments and ordinances of the
Lord.
Luk 1:7 And no child was born to them, because Elizabeth
was barren. And both were advanced in their days.
Luk 1:8 And it happened in his serving as priest in the order
of his course before God,
Luk 1:9 according to the custom of the priests, entering
into the Holy Place of the Lord, it was Zacharias lot to burn
incense.
1Ch 24:1 And these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron.
The sons of Aaron were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and
Ithamar.
1Ch 24:2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and
they had no sons. And Eleazar and Ithamar were priests.
1Ch 24:3 And David divided them according to their offices
in their service, even Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and
Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar.
1Ch 24:4 And more sons of Eleazar were found than the
sons of Ithamar, for heads of the men. And they divided
them. For the sons of Eleazar were: sixteen chiefs to their
fathers house; and eight to the sons of Ithamar, to the
house of their fathers.
1Ch 24:5 So they divided them by lots, these with these.
For these were the rulers of the sanctuary and rulers of God,
of Eleazars sons and Ithamars sons.
1Ch 24:6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, of
the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the rulers, and
Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and
the rulers of the fathers of the priests and Levites. One
fathers house was taken for Eleazar, and one taken for
Ithamar.
1Ch 24:7 And the first lot came out for Jehoiarib, the second
to Jedaiah,
1Ch 24:8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
1Ch 24:9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
1Ch 24:10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
1Ch 24:11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
1Ch 24:12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
1Ch 24:13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to
Jeshebeab,
1Ch 24:14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
1Ch 24:15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to
Aphses,
1Ch 24:16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to
Jehezekel,
1Ch 24:17 the twenty first to Jachin, the twenty second to
Gamul,
1Ch 24:18 the twenty third to Delaiah, the twenty fourth to
Maaziah.
1Ch 24:19 These were the orderings of them in their service
to come into the house of YHWH, according to their
ordinance, to Aaron their father, as YHWH God of Israel had
commanded him.
The Talmud records that each shift was a week. From noon sabbath
to noon sabbath
Josephus records that these courses were being followed in the 1st
century.
Josephus Antiquities 7:14.7
He divided them also into courses: and when he had separated the
priests from them, he found of these priests twenty-four courses,
sixteen of the house of Eleazar, and eight of that of Ithamar; and he
ordained that one course should minister to God eight days, from
sabbath to sabbath. And thus were the courses distributed by lot, in
the presence of David, and Zadok and Abiathar the high priests, and
of all the rulers; and that course which came up first was written
down as the first, and accordingly the second, and so on to the
twenty-fourth; and this partition hath remained to this day.
Yahshua was born in the Fall of 5 BC, therefore John the Baptist was
born in the Spring of 5 BC and conceived 9 months earlier in the
summer of 6 BC. In the year 6 BC, the first day of the first month
was a weekly Sabbath March 20.
Zachariah was of the 8th course. He was assigned the 9th and 10th
weeks from the beginning of the year. Iyar 27 Sivan 5 (May 15-22)
and Sivan 5 Sivan 12 (May 22-29). Sometime during these two
weeks Gabriel appeared to him. It is a possibility that this occurred
on Pentecost which was Sivan 6 (May 16). Zachariah returned home
on May 29 so it can be assumed that Elizabeth conceived May 30
June 12 in the year 6 BC. 6 months later Mary visited Elizabeth (Luk
1:36) at the time of Hanukkah. John would have been born
sometime between Adar 19 & Nisan 3 or February 27 March 11 5
BC. Marys conception would have been around Kislev 17-30 Nov
28- Dec 11, this brings Messiahs birth to around the time of Elul 24Tishri 15 or August 27- September 8.
This would mean that Yahshua was conceived on Hanukkah (the
Festival of Lights) and born on Sukkot (the Festival of Lights).
Hanukkah is also an 8 day festival that was based on Sukkot.
2Ma 10:6 And they kept the eight days with gladness, as in the
feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long afore they
had held the feast of the tabernacles, when as they wandered in the
mountains and dens like beasts.
2Ma 10:7 Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms
also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them good success
in cleansing his place.
2Ma 10:8 They ordained also by a common statute and decree,
That every year those days should be kept of the whole nation of
the Jews.
During the Sukkot season (John 7-8) Yahshua proclaimed the
following:
Joh 8:12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, I am the
Light of the world. The one following Me will in no way walk
in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
The building of the Tabernacle
Exo 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may
dwell among them.
Exo 25:9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern
of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments
thereof, even so shall ye make it.
Joh 1:9 He was the true Light; He enlightens every man
coming into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world came into being
through Him, yet the world did not know Him.
Joh 1:11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive
Him.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave
authority to become children of God, to the ones believing
into His name,
Joh 1:13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and
tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of
an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and of truth.
What is the counterfeit of these festival of lights? Christmas. This
has connections to the mark of the beast, which is a counterfeit of

Sukkot is a picture of the Messianic kingdom where Messiah dwells
with His people.
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is
left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall
even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD
of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Yahshua dwelling with His people during the Messianic era
Eze 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon
the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them
all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall
they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Eze 37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more
with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with
any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all
their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will
cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their
God.
Eze 37:24 And David my servant shall be king over them;
and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in
my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
Eze 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given
unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt;
and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children,
and their childrens children for ever: and my servant David
shall be their prince for ever.
Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with
them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I

sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Eze 37:27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will
be their God, and they shall be my people.
Christmas is a counterfeit of Sukkot. Hence, Christmas is a picture
of the antichrist kingdom.
It is clear from Scripture that the magi did not come to visit the
babe. He was close to 2 years old when they came to see Him.
Mat 2:1 And when Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of
Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men
arrived from the east to Jerusalem,
Mat 2:2 saying, Where is He born King of the Jews? For
we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.
Mat 2:7 Then secretly calling the wise men, Herod asked of
them exactly the time of the star appearing.
Mat 2:8 And sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Having
gone, exactly inquire about the child. And when you find
him, bring me word again so that coming I may also worship
him.
Mat 2:16 Then seeing that he was mocked by the wise men,
Herod was greatly enraged, and having sent, he killed all
the boys in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years
old and under, according to the time which he exactly asked
from the wise men.
Where does this tradition of the wise men visiting the baby Jesus
come from? The Gnostic gospels.
Protoevangelion 15:9 Wise men come to Christ in the cave
1 Infancy 3:1 Wise men, listening to a prophecy of Zoroaster bring

From James Fausset Brown commentary on Amos 5:26
the star of your god R. Isaac Caro says all the astrologers
represented Saturn as the star of Israel. Probably there was a figure
of a star on the head of the image of the idol, to represent the
planet Saturn; hence images correspond to star in the parallel
clause. A star in hieroglyphics represents God (Num_24:17).
Images are either a Hebraism for image, or refer to the many
images made to represent Chiun.
John Gill commentary on Amos 5:26
the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves; or the star your
god (q); meaning the same with Chiun or Saturn; perhaps the
same with the star that fell from the air or sky*, mentioned by
Sanchoniatho (r); which Astarte, the wife of Chronus or Saturn,
is said to take and consecrate in Tyre; this they made for
themselves, and worshipped as a deity.
*This is important to note in that it connects to the Holy Grail.
Holy Blood Holy Grail pg 297
Quoting from Perlesvaus pg. 359
Well I know that many brave knights dwell with the Grail at
Munsalvaesche. Always when they ride out, as they often do, it is to
seek adventure. They do so for their sins, these templars, whether
their reward be defeat or victory. A valiant hose lives there, and I
will tell you how they are sustained. They live from a stone of
purest kind. If you know not know it, it shall here be named to
you. It is called lapsit exillis. By the power of that stone the
phoenix burns to ashes, but the ashes give him life again. Thus
does the phoenix molt and change its plumage, which afterward is
bright and shining and as lovely as before. There never was a
human so ill but that, if he on day sees that stone, he cannot die
within the week that follows. And in looks he will not fade. His
appearance wills tay the same as when the best years of his life
began, and though he should see the stone for two hundred years, it
will never change, save that his hair might perhaps turn gray. Such
power does the stone give a man that flesh and bones are at once
made young again. The stone is called the Grail.click here
Lapsit exillis might be a corruption of lapis ex caelis stone from
the heavens. It might also be a corruption of lapsit ex caelis it
fell from heaven; or of lapis lapsus ex caelus- a stone fallen
from heaven; or, finally, of lapis elixir -the fabulous Philosophers
Stone of alchemy.The Philosophers stone will need to be
discussed in more detail in a future study, but it points to the
evolution of man into a god. DNA is a stone, when it is mixed
with the stone from heaven the Holy Grail or transformation is
attained. This is what Christmas is a foreshadow of. The return of
the age of Saturn. The age of Aquarius. The golden age of the
gods.
Back to John Gills commentary:
The Targum is,
ye have borne the tabernacle of your priests, Chiun your image,
the star your God, which ye have made to yourselves.
It may be further observed, for the confirmation and illustration of
what has been said concerning Chiun, that the Egyptian Anubis,
which Plutarch (x) says is the same with Saturn, is called by him
Kyon, which seems to be no other than this word Chiun: and
whereas Stephen calls it Rephan, this is not a corruption of the word,
reading Rephan or Revan for Chevan; nor has he respect to Rimmon,
the god of the Syrians, but it is the Egyptian name for Saturn; which
the Septuagint interpreters might choose to make use of, they
interpreting for the king of Egypt: and Diodorus Siculus (y) makes
mention of an Egyptian king called Remphis, whom Braunius (z)
takes to be this very Chiun; see Act_7:43; but Rephas, or Rephan,
was the same with Chronus, or Saturn, from whence came the
Rephaim (a), who dwelt in Ashtaroth Karnaim, a town of Ham or
Chronus; see Gen_14:5.

The six-pointed star is considered by occultists to be the
Star of Bethlehem which will precede the Advent of the
False Christ.
Immediately after the tribulation of those daysshall appear the
sign of the Son of man in heaven (Matt. 24:29-30)The Star is the
symbol of the perfect life, the perfect balance, of the Christman. The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem, which
again means the Star of the Son of man
The star with the six points represents the star of Lightof
brotherhood, the Star of Christ. The love of Christ is represented by
this Star. So, we have in that symbol a representation of the Ancient
Wisdom, and the love of Christ, the wisdom and love combined,
which is to be realized by humanity in this New Age the age of
Aquarius. -Gaia Mind
Broken Heart
Eze 6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me
among the nations whither they shall be carried captives,
because I am broken (H7665) with their whorish heart, which
hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a
whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves
for the evils which they have committed in all their
abominations.

shabar
A primitive root; to burst (literally or figuratively): break (down, off,
in pieces, up), broken ([-hearted]), bring to the birth, crush,
destroy, hurt, quench, X quite, tear,
Celebrating and partaking of customs such as Christmas among
believers in YHWH breaks His heart. If one truly loves the Most
High, then this should be the most important reason to forsake the
holiday. In the end, the most important thing in our lives is our
relationship to the Most High. Even if one takes the stance that
Christmas isnt pagan to me or they dont worship the Christmas
tree, then the fact that joining in the celebration of these customs,
regardless of motive, is breaking His Heart then we should run as
fast and as far away from this holiday as possible.

then took Hadrian into a cave and showed him the bodies of
Amorites who were buried
there. One of them measured eighteen cubits [approximately 30
feet] in height. He
said, When we were deserving, such men were defeated by us, but
now, because of our
sins, you have defeated us (quoted in Judaism, edited by Arthur

Ancient Testimonies of Giants/Nephilim
There were born the giants, famous of old, tall in stature, expert in
war, God did not choose them or give them the way of knowledge.
So they perished, because they had no understanding; they
perished through their own folly (Baruch 3:26-28).
Jdt 16:7 For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither
did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him:
but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of
her countenance.
3 Maccabees 2:4 You destroyed those who in the past committed
injustice, among whom were even giants who trusted in their
strength and boldness, who you destroyed by bringing on them a
boundless flood.
Enoch [Chapter 7]
1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives,
and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them
and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2
and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them
acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare
great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed
4 all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain
them, the giants turned against 5 them and devoured mankind. And
they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish,
and to devour one anothers flesh, and drink the blood. Then the
earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
Sir 16:7 He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in
the strength of their foolishness.
Bar 3:26 There were the giants famous from the beginning, that
were of so great stature, and so expert in war.
Bar 3:27 Those did not the Lord choose, neither gave he the way of
knowledge unto them:
Bar 3:28 But they were destroyed, because they had no wisdom,
and perished through their own foolishness.
3Maccabees Chapter 2
4: You destroyed those who in the past committed injustice, among
whom were even giants who trusted in their strength and boldness,
whom you destroyed by bringing upon them a boundless flood.
Jubilees 29:9 speaks of Gilead formerly being a land of the Rephaim
whose height was from 7-10 cubits (up to 16+ ft tall)
Jubilees 29:9 speaks of the land of Gilead which was the sites of
many Maccabee victories (1 Macc 5.26, 43-44; 2 Mac. 12:21,26)
Edrei was Ogs capital (Jos. 12:4; 13: 12, 31)
Enoch speaks of 3 types of giants 1 Enoch 86:4; 88:2; Jubilees
7:21-22Giants, Naphil, Eljo
Jubilees 7
21 from fornication and uncleanness and all iniquity. For owing to
these three things came the flood upon the earth, namely, owing to
the fornication wherein the Watchers against the law of their
ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took
themselves wives of all which they
22 chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness. And they
begat sons the Naphidim, and they were all unlike, and they
devoured one another: and the Giants slew the Naphil, and the
23 Naphil slew the Eljo, and the Eljo mankind, and one man another.
And every one sold himself
24 to work iniquity and to shed much blood, and the earth was filled
with iniquity. And after this they sinned against the beasts and birds,
and all that moves and walks on the earth: and much blood was
shed on the earth, and every imagination and desire of men
imagined vanity and evil
25 continually. And the Lord destroyed everything from off the face
of the earth; because of the wickedness of their deeds, and because
of the blood which they had shed in the midst of the earth
26 He destroyed everything. And we were left, I and you, my sons,
and everything that entered with us into the ark, and behold I see
your works before me that ye do not walk in righteousness: for in
the path of destruction ye have begun to walk, and ye are parting
one from another, and are envious one of another, and (so it comes)
that ye are not in harmony, my sons, each with his brother.
27 For I see, and behold the demons have begun (their) seductions
against you and against your children and now I fear on your behalf,
that after my death ye will shed the blood of men upon the earth,
28 and that ye, too, will be destroyed from the face of the earth. For
whoso sheddeth mans blood, and whoso eateth the blood of any
flesh, shall all be destroyed from the earth.
29 And there shall not be left any man that eateth blood,
or that sheddeth the blood of man on the earth,
Nor shall there be left to him any seed or descendants living under
heaven;
For into Sheol shall they go, And into the place of condemnation
shall they descend,
And into the darkness of the deep shall they all be removed by a
violent death.
And after those days
Gen 6:4 The giants* were in the earth in those days, and
even afterwards when the sons of God came in to the daughters
of men, and they bore to them; they were heroes which existed from
ancient time, the men of name.
Giants in the days of Abraham
Gen 14:5 And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings
that were with him came and struck the giants in Ashteroth
Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh
Kiriathaim,
In the days of Lot we see an allusion to mankind seeking sexual
relations with angels.
Gen 19:5 And they called to Lot and said to him, Where are the men
who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know
them.
Nephilim were on the earth in the days of the Egyptian Exodus. This
is important to know because it connects to the end of days.
Messiah said the end of days will be like the days of Noah and Lot.
The prophets speak of the end of days as being likened to the
Egyptian Exodus.
Num 13:33 And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who
come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Deu 2:10 The Emim lived there in days gone by, a great and
plentiful people, and tall as the Anakim;
Deu 2:11 they are reckoned to be giants (rephaim), they too, like
the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
Deu 2:20 That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim dwelt
therein aforetime; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
Deu 2:21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but
the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them,
and dwelt in their stead;
Deu 3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of
the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not
in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length
thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. Deu 9:2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you
know, and of whom you have heard it said, Who can stand before
the sons of Anak?
Jos 11:21 At that time Joshua came and cut off the Anakim from the
mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anah, and from all the
mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel. Joshua
completely destroyed them with their cities.
Jos 11:22 There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the sons
of Israel; only some remained in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod.
Jos 12:4 and the border of Og king of Bashan, of the remnant of the
Rephaim, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Jos 12:5 and ruled in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all
Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and
half Gilead, even unto the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
2Sa 21:16 And Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of Rapha the giant,
the weight of his spear being three hundred bronze shekels in
weight, and was girded with a new sword, even he said to strike
David.
2Sa 21:18 And it happened after this that the battle was again in
Gob of the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite struck Saph,
who was among the sons of Rapha.
2Sa 21:19 And again the battle was in Gob with the Philistines, and
Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite struck one of
Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear was like a weavers
beam.
2Sa 21:20 And again the battle was in Gath, and there was a man
of stature, and the fingers of his hands were six, and the fingers of
his feet six, twenty four in number. And he also had been born to
Rapha.
2Sa 21:21 And he cursed Israel; and Jonathan, the son of Davids
brother Shimeah, struck him.
2Sa 21:22 These four here born to Rapha the giant in Gath. And
they fell by the hand of David, by the hand of his servants.
1Sa 17:4 And a champion (iysh habaniymman between two
camps referring to half man half angel descendancy) came out from
the armies of the Philistines, Goliath was his name, from Gath; his
height was six cubits and a span.
1Sa 17:5 And a bronze helmet was on his head, and he was clothed
with scaled body armor; and the weight of the armor was five
thousand shekels (156lbs) of bronze.
1Sa 17:6 And a covering of bronze was on his legs, and a javelin of
bronze between his shoulders.
1Sa 17:7 And the wood of his spear was like a weavers beam; and
the blade of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron. And the
shield bearer went before him.
His spear must be twenty six feet long, since Hectors in Homer (m)
was eleven cubits, or sixteen feet and a half:
Hell
Jos 15:8 And the border went up to the valley of the son of
Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south (it is
Jerusalem) and the border went up to the top of the
mountain which is before the valley of Hinnom westward at
the far end of the Valley of the Giants northward.
Jos 18:16 And the border went down to the end of the
mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom,
which is in the Valley of the Giants northward, and went
down the valley of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite on the
south, and went down to En-rogel.
Gehenna = Gei-hinnom = Valley of Rephaim
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Gehenna
gee-hena (, geenna (see Grimm-Thayer, under the word)):
Gehenna is a transliteration from the Aramaic form of the Hebrew
ge-hinnom, valley of Hinnom. This latter form, however, is rare in
the Old Testament, the prevailing name being the valley of the son
of Hinnom.
Gehenna occurs in Mat_5:22, Mat_5:29, Mat_5:30; Mat_10:28;
Mat_18:9; Mat_23:15, Mat_23:33; Mar_9:43, Mar_9:15, Mar_9:47;
Luk_12:5; Jam_3:6.
In the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and
American) Gehenna is rendered by hell
That the valley of Hinnom became the technical designation for
the place of final punishment was due to two causes. In the first
place the valley had been the seat of the idolatrous worship of
Molech, to whom children were immolated by fire (2Ch_28:3;
2Ch_33:6). Secondly, on account of these practices the place was
defiled by King Josiah (2Ki_23:10), and became in consequence
associated in prophecy with the judgment to be visited upon the
people (Jer_7:32).
Hyksos and Anakim
Num 13:22 And they went up into the Negeb, and came to Hebron.
And Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak, were there. And
Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
Albert Barnes commentary
Now Hebron This parenthesis explains that these two cities had
a common founder, and were built, or perhaps, at least in the case
of Zoan (Tanis, see Exo_1:8, note; Exo_2:5, note) rebuilt, by the
Hyksos, to which nations, once the conquerors of Egypt, the
Anakim perhaps belonged. The Hyksos fortified and garrisoned
Zoan as a defense of their Eastern frontier.
If the Anakim belonged to the Hyksos, this would mean that the
Hyksos had a fallen angel bloodline. This would mean that the
Pharaohs at the time of Yoseph and perhaps even Moshe were
descendants of the Nephilim. This is important to note because it is
believed that today, most of the ruling elite descend from this same
bloodline. Yah willing, I will be able to share more information on
this in a future study but suffice it to say, the Nephilim topic is not
antiquated information to tickle the ears. It is very relevant to
today, and especially to the last generation that will see the coming
of the Messiah.
Origin of Demons/evil spirits
1Enoch 15:8 Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and
of flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth
shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh,
because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was
their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be
upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be
called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven;
but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are
born on earth. N24 (24) Note the many implications of vss. 3-8
regarding the progeny of evil spirits.
9 The spirits of the giants shall be like clouds, N25 which shall
oppress, corrupt, fall, content, and bruise upon earth. (25) The
Greek word for clouds here, nephelas, may disguise a more
ancient reading, Napheleim (Nephilim).
10 They shall cause lamentation. No food shall they eat; and they
shall be thirsty; they shall be concealed, and shall not N26 rise up
against the sons of men, and against women; for they come forth
during the days of slaughter and destruction. (26) Shall not. Nearly
all manuscripts contain this negative, but Charles, Knibb, and others
believe the not should be deleted so the phrase reads shall rise
up.
Enoc 16:1 And as to the death of the giants, wheresoever their
spirits depart from their bodies, let their flesh, that which is
perishable, be without judgment. N27 Thus shall they perish, until
the day of the great consummation of the great world. A destruction
shall take place of the Watchers and the impious. (27) Let their
fleshbe without judgment. Or, their flesh shall be destroyed
before the judgment (Knibb, p. 102).
Jubilee 10:1 And in the third week of this jubilee the unclean
demons began to lead astray the children of
2 the sons of Noah, and to make to err and destroy
them. And the sons of Noah came to Noah their father, and they
told him concerning the demons which were leading astray and
blinding and
3 slaying his sons sons. And he prayed before the Lord his God, and
said: God of the spirits of all flesh, who hast shown mercy unto me
And hast saved me and my sons from the waters of the flood, And
hast not caused me to perish as Thou didst the sons of
perdition; For Thy grace has been great towards me, And great has
been Thy mercy to my soul; Let Thy grace be lift up upon my sons,
And let not wicked spirits rule over them Lest they should destroy
them from the earth.
4 But do Thou bless me and my sons, that we may increase and
Multiply and replenish the earth.
5 And Thou knowest how Thy Watchers, the fathers of
these spirits, acted in my day: and as for these spirits which are
living, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of
condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of thy
servant, my God; for these are malignant, and
6 created in order to destroy. And let them not rule over the spirits
of the living; for Thou alone canst exercise dominion over them. And
let them not have power over the sons of the righteous
7 ,8 from henceforth and for evermore. And the Lord our God bade
us to bind all. And the chief of the spirits, Mastema, came and said:
Lord, Creator, let some of them remain before me, and let them
harken to my voice, and do all that I shall say unto them; for if some
of them are not left to me, I shall not be able to execute the power
of my will on the sons of men; for these are for corruption and
leading astray before my judgment, for great is the wickedness of
the sons of men.
9 And He said: Let the tenth part of them remain before him, and let
nine parts descend into the
10 place of condemnation. And one of us He commanded that we
should teach Noah all their
11 medicines; for He knew that they would not walk in uprightness,
nor strive in righteousness. And we did according to all His words: all
the malignant evil ones we bound in the place of condemna12 tion and a tenth part of them we left that they might be subject
before Satan on the earth. And we explained to Noah all the
medicines of their diseases, together with their seductions, how he
13 might heal them with herbs of the earth. And Noah wrote down
all things in a book as we instructed him concerning every kind of
medicine. Thus the evil spirits were precluded from
14 (hurting) the sons of Noah. And he gave all that he had written
to Shem, his eldest son; for he
15 loved him exceedingly above all his sons. And Noah slept with his
fathers, and was buried on

from the Rock of his salvation.
Deu 32:16 With strange gods they moved Him to jealousy; and with
idols they provoked Him to anger.

whom they did not know, new ones who came lately. Your fathers

their property. And they came to Judah and to Jerusalem; for

YHWH.

places, and for goats (devils), and for the calves that he made.
1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will

Num 13:32 And they sent out an evil report of the land which they
had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, The land into which we
passed, to spy it out, is a land eating up the ones living in it. And all
the people we saw in its midst were men of stature.
Num 13:33 And we saw the giants there, the sons of Anak, of the
giants. And we were in our own eyes as grasshoppers, and so we
were in their eyes.
Tower of Babel
Sacred Books of the East Volume 1 Assyria & Babylon pg 26
The city of Babylon owes its foundation to those who were
saved from the catastrophe of the flood ; these were the giants,
and they built the tower which is noticed in history. But
the tower being overthrown by the interposition of God, the
giants were scattered over all the earth.
In Dantes Divine Comedy he portrays Nimrod as a giant. Was this
the belief at that time, or merely Dantes imagination at work?
The INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BIBLE ENCYCLOPEDIA connects the
constellation of Orion with Nimrod/Marduk
He who was to the Babylonians a deified hero, was to the
Hebrews a rebel Titan, bound in chains among the stars that all
might behold his punishment, and in this aspect the question,
Canst thou loose the bands of Orion? (Job_38:31) would be
equivalent to asking Canst thou bring down out of their places the
stars that make up this figure and so, as it were, set the Titan free?
In the very brief reference to Nimrod in Gen_10:8, Gen_10:9, he is
three times overemphatically termed gibbor, a mighty
(one) and this has been the name of this constellation among
Syrians, Arabs and Jews for many centuries.
Gibborim is what the giants were called in Genesis 6. However,
many people have been called gibborim in the Scriptures that were
not giants. History seems to suggest that Nimrod was a
giant/nephilim but there is no concrete evidence for this. However,
Nimrod is a picture of the antichrist who the Scriptures describe as
being from the line of the Nephilim. This will be discussed in more
detail in a future study, Yah willing.
In the book of Jasher, it is written that the people thought to build
the tower in order to war against Adonai YHWH and ascend into
heaven. 1/3 wanted to ascend and fight him, 1/3 wanted to ascend
to heaven and place their own gods there and serve them, and 1/3
wanted to ascend to heaven and smite Him with bows and spears.
This agrees with the battle of Armageddon in the end. The
Scriptures seem to indicate that the battle of Armageddon is a
rebellion against the Almighty. (See Zechariah 12:10-11; Judges
5:19-20; )
Abraham was alive during the days of Noah. According to Jasher
13:9 Abraham was 53 years old when Noah died. Abraham was 50
years old when he was first called to leave Babylon. The call to
come out of Babylon is thematically connected to Abrahams call to
come out of Mesopotamia and it occurred in the days of Noah.
In the book of Jasher, Abraham is put into a fiery furnace but is not
killed, just as Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah. Therefore, according to
ancient traditionNebuchadnezzar is thematically connected to
Nimrod. The reason Nebuchadnezzar put the 3 Hebrew men into
the fire is because they wouldnt bow down to an image, just as it is
seen in Revelation 13. So too Abraham was put into the fire
because he refused to worship idols. As it was in the days of Noah,
so too in the days before the return of the Son of Man.
So too as in the days of the Exodus from Egypt. The Babylonians
speak of the giants as the builders of the Tower of Babel. This
connects to Devarim 1:28 where the Anakim built cities walled up to
the heavens.
Deu 1:28 Where shall we go up? Our brothers have melted our
hearts, saying, We have seen there a people greater and taller
than we, cities great and walled up to the heavens, and also
the sons of Anak.
Waters & the Abyss
Yam
In Genesis 36 verse 24 and odd addition of information is given
about Anah. He is said to have found mules (yam) in the
wilderness. The word for mules is yam which is translated in the
Targum as terror. In the book of Jasher chapter 36 verse 29-35 it is
told of 120 great and terrible animals that came out from the
wilderness at the other side of the sea and came to the place where
the mules were. These animals were in the shape of men from the
middle down and in the shape of different beasts from the middle
up. The animals attacked Anah so he fled to the city and related to
his sons and brothers what happened to him.
Hab 3:8 Did YHWH burn against rivers? Or was Your anger against
the rivers? Or Your fury against the sea? For You ride on horses; Your
chariots of salvation.
In the JPS footnotes on this verse it is written Neharim=floods &
Yam=Sea were marine monsters vanquished by the LORD in hoary
antiquity. On Yam see Ps 74:13; Job 7:12 Being called both Yam &
Nahar figures in early Canaanite literature.
Psa 74:13 You broke the sea (yam) by Your strength; You burst the
heads of sea-monsters (tanin) in the waters.
Psa 74:14 You cracked open the heads of leviathan; You gave him to
be food for the people of the wilderness.
Job 7:12 Am I a sea (yam), or a sea-monster (tanin), that You set a
watch over me?
Job 26:12 With His power He quiets the sea (yam), and by His
understanding He shatters pride (rahab).

rahab
BDB Definition:
1) pride, blusterer
1a) storm, arrogance (but only as names)
1a1) mythical sea monster
1a2) emblematic name of Egypt
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
(, rahabh, literally, storm, arrogance): A mythical seamonster, probably referred to in several passages where the word is
translated as a common noun pride (Job_9:13), the proud
(Job_26:12; compare Psa_89:10). It is used in parallelism with
tannin, the dragon (Isa_51:9). It is most familiar as an emblem of
Egypt, the boaster that sitteth still (Isa_30:7; Psa_87:4; compare
Psa_89:10). The Talmud in Babha Bathra speaks of rahabh as sar
ha-yam, master of the sea.
Job 26:12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his
understanding he smiteth through the proud (Rahab).
Job 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand
hath formed the crooked serpent.
Psa 87:4 I will mention Rahab and Babylon to those who know me;
behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
Psa 89:10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one slain; You have
scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
Isa 51:9 Awake! Awake! Arm of YHWH, put on strength. Awake, as in
days of old, everlasting generations. Was it not You cutting in pieces
Rahab, and piercing the sea monster?
Isa 51:10 Was it not You drying up the sea, the waters of the great
deep, who set the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to
pass?
Isa 51:11 Yea, the ransomed of YHWH shall return and come to Zion
with singing, and everlasting joy shall be on their head; gladness
and joy shall overtake them; sorrow and sighing shall flee.
Job 9:13 God will not withdraw His anger; the helpers of pride stoop
under Him.
Isa 30:7 And Egypt; vainly and emptily they help. So I have called
to this: Their strength is to sit still.
Do not rise in resurrection. The Scriptures state that the Rephaim
do not rise in the resurrection yet it states that both the wicked and
the righteous rise for judgment. It is clear that the Rephaim are
something different then men.
Isa 26:14 Dead ones do not live; departed spirits (Rephaim) do not
rise; because of this You visited and destroyed them, and caused all
memory of them to perish.
Isa 26:19 Your dead ones shall live, my dead body, they shall rise
up. Awake and sing, dust dwellers; for the dew of lights is your dew;
and the earth shall cast out (Nafal) departed spirits (refaim).
Psa 88:10 For will You do wonders for those dying? Or shall the
departed spirits rise and thank You? Selah.
Pro 9:18 But he does not know that the departed spirits are there;
her guests are in the depths of hell.
Pro 21:16 The man who wanders out of the way of prudence shall
rest in the congregation of departed spirits.
Yeshayahu speaks of the rephaim becoming stirred with the
demons/seirim/he-goats at the coming of the lucifer.
Isa 14:9 Sheol from below is stirred for you, to meet you at your
coming; it stirs up the departed spirits for you, all the he goats of
the earth. It has raised all the kings of the nations from their
thrones.
Connection with water
Job 26:5 Dead (rapha) things are formed (chul-writhe, twist) from
under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
LITV
Job 26:5 The departed spirits are made to writhe from beneath the
waters, and their inhabitants.
Job 26:5 *
;
*gigantes-giants
The Targumist seems to have a notion of this, or at least refers unto
it, paraphrasing the words thus,
is it possible that the mighty men (or giants) should be
created (that is, recreated or regenerated; that is, raised from the
dead); seeing they are under the waters, and their armies?
Iyov (Job) speaks of the Rephaim writing under the waters. This
word for writhe is chul which can mean anxiously waiting. Waiting
for the time when they will be unchained and loosed upon the earth
as is spoken in Revelation 9? Interestingly the next verse chapter
26 speaks of Abaddon being uncovered. Abaddon, Apollyon in
Greek is the leader of the 200 million army in Revelation 9. Apollyon
comes from the Greek word apoliea which is where we get the word
perdition as in son of perdition. The man of sin/antichrist/beast of
Thessalonians 2 is spoken of as the son of perdition (apoleia).

cast out of heaven and come to the earth and then the beast power
rises from the sea and then from the earth.
Cockatrice
Websters 1828 dictionary
1.a legendary monster with a deadly glance, supposedly hatched by
a serpent from the egg of a cock, and commonly represented with
the head, legs, and wings of a cock and the body and tail of a
serpent. compare basilisk (def. 1).
1.classical mythology. a creature, variously described as a serpent,
lizard, or dragon, said to kill by its breath or look.
Notice that the cockatrice is a mixture of two animals which points
back to the days of Noah and the mixture of animals as well as the
mixture of mankind.

verse 16 is pointing to Revelation 9:7. The horses=the locusts. The
neighing { }is connected to locusts { }and his strong ones
(abiyr) means angels as Psalm 78:25 states. Another indication of
this connection is that they devour (akal-eat, consume) the land.
This points to locust as well. Coming from Dan connects to

Giants in history and myth
from wikipedia.org
Gog and Magog are usually considered to be giants, and are also
found in the folklore of Britain.
Hinduism
In Hinduism, the giants are called Daityas. The Daityas () were
the children of Diti and the sage Kashyapa who fought against the
gods or Devas because they were jealous of their Deva halfbrothers. Since Daityas were a power-seeking race, they sometimes
allied with other races having similar ideology namely Danavas and
Asuras. Daityas along with Danavas and Asuras are sometimes
called Rakshasas, the generic term for a demon in Hindu mythology.
Some known Daityas include Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha. The
main antagonist of the Hindu epic Ramayana, Ravana was a
Brahmin from his father side and a Daitya from his mother side. His
younger brother Kumbhakarna was said to be as tall as a mountain
and was quite good natured.
Hercules faces the giant Antaios in this illustration on a calix krater,
c. 515510 BC.
Greek mythology
In Greek mythology the gigantes () were (according to the
poet Hesiod) the children of Uranos () and Gaea () (The
Heaven and the Earth). They were involved in a conflict with the
Olympian gods called the Gigantomachy (), which was
eventually settled when the hero Heracles decided to help the
Olympians. The Greeks believed some of them, like Enceladus, to
lay buried from that time under the earth, and that their tormented
quivers resulted in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Herodotus in Book 1, Chapter 68, describes how the Spartans
uncovered in Tegea the body of Orestes which was seven cubits long
around 10 feet. In his book The Comparison of Romulus with
Theseus Plutarch describes how the Athenians uncovered the body
of Theseus, which was of more than ordinary size. The kneecaps of
Ajax were exactly the size of a discus for the boys pentathlon, wrote
Pausanias. A boys discus was about twelve centimeters in diameter,
while a normal adult patella is around five centimeters, suggesting
Ajax may have been around 14 feet (~4.3 meters) tall.
Norse mythology
In Norse mythology, the giants (jtnar in Old Norse, a cognate with
ettin) are often opposed to the gods. They come in different classes,
such as frost giants (hrmursar), fire giants (eldjtnar), and
mountain giants (bergrisar). Jotun are different from other giants,
that they usually arent taller than most humans. The English, in
lacking a proper word to describe such creatures, made use of the
Greek derivative giants; in a similar fashion, ogres are called
trolls(pl. trolde) in Danish[citation needed].
The giants are the origin of most of various monsters in Norse
mythology (e.g. the Fenrisulfr), and in the eventual battle of
Ragnark the giants will storm Asgard and defeat them in war. Even
so, the gods themselves were related to the giants by many
marriages, and there are giants such as gir, Loki, Mmir and Skai,
who bear little difference in status to them.
Norse mythology also holds that the entire world of men was once
created from the flesh of Ymir, a giant of cosmic proportions, which
name is considered by some to share a root with the name Yama of
Indo-Iranian mythology.
A bergrisi appears as a supporter on the coat of arms of Iceland.
Folklore
In folklore from all over Europe, giants were believed to have built
the remains of previous civilizations. Saxo Grammaticus, for
example, argues that giants had to exist, because nothing else
would explain the large walls, stone monuments, and statues that
we now know were the remains of Roman construction. Similarly,
the Old English poem Seafarer speaks of the high stone walls that
were the work of giants. Even natural geologic features such as the
massive basalt columns of the Giants Causeway on the coast of
Northern Ireland were attributed to construction by giants. Giants
provided the least complicated explanation for such artifacts.
In Basque mythology, giants appear as jentilak and mairuak
(Moors), and were said to have raised the dolmens and menhirs.
After Christianization, they were driven away, and the only
remaining one is Olentzero, a coalmaker that brings gifts on
Christmas Eve.
Medieval romances such as Amadis de Gaul feature giants as
antagonists, or, rarely, as allies. This is parodied famously in
Cervantes Don Quixote, when the title character attacks a windmill,
believing it to be a giant. This is the source of the phrase tilting at
windmills.
Tales of combat with giants were a common feature in the folklore of
Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Celtic giants also figure in Breton and
Arthurian romances, and from this source they spread into the
heroic tales of Torquato Tasso, Ludovico Ariosto, and their follower
Edmund Spenser. In the small Scottish village of Kinloch Rannoch, a
local myth to this effect concerns a local hill that apparently
resembles the head, shoulders, and torso of a man, and has
therefore been termed the sleeping giant. Apparently the giant will
awaken only if a specific musical instrument is played near the hill.
Many giants in British folklore were noted for their stupidity.[1] A
giant who had quarreled with the Mayor of Shrewsbury went to bury
the city with dirt; however, he met a shoemaker, carrying shoes to
repair, and the shoemaker convinced the giant that he had worn out
all the shoes coming from Shrewsbury, and so it was too far to
travel.[2]
Other British stories told of how giants threw stones at each other.
This was used to explain many great stones on the landscape.[3]
Giants figure in a great many fairy tales and folklore stories, such as
Jack and the Beanstalk, The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body,
Nix Nought Nothing, Robin Hood and the Prince of Aragon, Young
Ronald, and Paul Bunyan. Ogres and trolls are humanoid creatures,
sometimes of gigantic stature, that occur in various sorts of
European folklore. An example of another folklore giant is Rbezahl,
a kind giant in German folklore who lived in the Giant Mountains
(nowadays on the Czech-Polish border).
Giants in the West
Aside from mythology and folklore (see Tall tales), remains of giants
have been claimed to have been found in America. Giants are
usually classified as human-like remains that are 7 5 (2.26 meters)
or more in height. The book Forbidden Land by Robert Lyman (1971)
recounts the following alleged finds:
* A decayed human skeleton claimed by eyewitnesses to measure
around 3.28 metres (10 feet 9 inches tall), was unearthed by
labourers while ploughing a vineyard in November 1856 in East
Wheeling, now in West Virginia.
* A human skeleton measuring 3.6 metres (12 feet) tall was
unearthed at Lompock Rancho, California, in 1833 by soldiers
digging in a pit for a powder magazine. The specimen had a double
row of teeth and was surrounded by numerous stone axes, carved
shells and porphyry blocks with abstruse symbols associated with it.
* Several mummified remains of humans with reddish hair claimed
to range from 2-2.5 metres (6.5 feet to over 8 feet) tall were dug up
at Lovelock Cave, (70 miles) north-east of Reno, Nevada, by a guano
mining operation. These bones supposedly substantiated claims for
legends by the local Paiute Indians regarding giants which they
called Si-Te-Cah. However, there appear to be no verified Paiute
legends about giants or that call the Si-Te-Cah giants [4]. Some of
these artifacts can also be found in the Nevada State Historical
Societys museum at Reno. Adrienne Mayor states that these
skeletons are normal sized.[5] She also points out that hair pigment
does not stay stable after death, and that ancient very dark hair can
turn rusty red or orange due to a variety of conditions such as soil
condition, temperature, etc.
* A 9 11 (3.02 meters) skeleton was unearthed in 1928 by a farmer
digging a pit to bury trash in Tensas Parish, Louisiana near
Waterproof. In 1931 a 10 2 (3.1 meters) skeleton was unearthed by
a boy burying his dog in 1933 in Nearby Madison Parish.
Aside from in Forbidden Land, we can find other unverified examples
or legends about the remains of giants:
* A 9 8 (2.95 meters) skeleton was excavated from a mound near
Brewersville, Indiana in 1879 (Indianapolis News, November 10,
1975).
* In Clearwater, Minnesota, the skeletons of seven giants were found
in mounds. These had receding foreheads and complete double
dentition[citation needed]
* A mound near Toledo, Ohio, held 20 skeletons, seated and facing
east with jaws and teeth twice as large as those of present day
people, and beside each was a large bowl with curiously wrought
hieroglyphic figures. (Chicago Record, October 24, 1895; cited by
Ron G. Dobbins, NEARA Journal, v13, fall 1978).
* Near the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario there is a span of mountains
five miles long that is in the shape of a man wearing a headdress
lying down on his back. The span is called The Sleeping Giant from
local Ojibway legend that identifies the giant as Nanabijou, the spirit
of the Deep Sea Water, who was turned to stone when the secret
location of a rich silver mine, now known as Silver Islet, was
disclosed to white men. [6]
* Patagons of Patagonia in South America, are giants claimed to
have been seen by Ferdinand Magellan and his crew.[7] Drake
reported only finding people of mean stature[8] although his
Chaplain reported giants. However, even before Magellan, a Spanish
romance called Primaleon of Greece was published in 1512 in which
a dashing explorer discovers savages, one named Patagon, whose
descriptions are very similar to those of Magellan.[9]

Connection to the Mark of the Beast
John Gill commentary on Amos 5:26
the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves; or the star your
god (q); meaning the same with Chiun or Saturn; perhaps the same
with the star that fell from the air or sky, mentioned by
Sanchoniatho (r); which Astarte, the wife of Chronus or Saturn, is
said to take and consecrate in Tyre; this they made for themselves,
and worshipped as a deity. The Targum is,
ye have borne the tabernacle of your priests, Chiun your image,
the star your God, which ye have made to yourselves.
It may be further observed, for the confirmation and illustration of
what has been said concerning Chiun, that the Egyptian Anubis,
which Plutarch (x) says is the same with Saturn, is called by him
Kyon, which seems to be no other than this word Chiun: and
whereas Stephen calls it Rephan, this is not a corruption of the word,
reading Rephan or Revan for Chevan; nor has he respect to Rimmon,
the god of the Syrians, but it is the Egyptian name for Saturn; which
the Septuagint interpreters might choose to make use of, they
interpreting for the king of Egypt: and Diodorus Siculus (y) makes
mention of an Egyptian king called Remphis, whom Braunius (z)
t akes to be this very Chiun; see Act_7:43; but Rephas, or Rephan,
was the same with Chronus, or Saturn, from whence came the
Rephaimclick here
(a), who dwelt in Ashtaroth Karnaim, a town of Ham or
Chronus; see Gen_14:5.
John Gill connects the Rephaim to Saturn. The star of David/seal of
Solomon is the star of Saturn. This is very much connected to the
mark of the beast spoken of by the Apostle Yochanan.click here
Notice the symbol above Saturn/Chronus head.
This study and the previous fallen angel studyclick here are to set
the foundation to establish that fallen angels did mix with women
and bring forth nephilim. They played an integral part in mankinds
history, especially in the days of Noahclick here and the exodus
from Egypt. The Scriptures state that these are the two time
periods to look at to understand the end times because they will be
repeated. (Matthew 24:37; Micah 7:15 etc)

If Pharoah was a giant does that maybe mean we will be
slaves of a giant before the great exodus? will we know that he is
giant or maybe he will only be of the bloodline of giants? Did the
daughter of men know they were fallen angels or were they
deceived?

Pharaoh is a picture of the antichrist and is even called
the great dragon in Ezekiel 29:3; 32:2; Isaiah 27:1. All through
the Pharaonic period, Egyptian royalty was believed to be
directly descended from the gods. They would confer special
powers upon Pharaoh, which were essential to maintaining
earthly and cosmic order.
As a permanent reminder to his people of his divine birthright,
Pharaoh would wear certain regalia and attributes:
Once I get the antichrist study up on the blog Ill show the
connections of the Nephilim and the antichrist. I definitely
believe the antichrist/beast or whatever is going to be a
nephilim. Whether or not hell be a literal giant I dont know but
I definitely think he is going to be part man, part angel. Even in
Jewish writings the Messiah has been called Bar Nafli or son of
the fallen one.
The bloodline thing is interesting because you can trace most
leaders of the world today back to the ancient kings and leaders
etc. I need to get some more information to document that
though. Most of what Ive seen is just things Ive read that have
been pretty generalized. I dont think the man of sin is going to
end up being from just the bloodline but perhaps a direct
descendant of a fallen angel and a woman who is filled with the
spirit of satan to work signs and wonders that may deceive, if
possible, even the elect.
I think the slavery thing though is going to happen. It fits in with
the prophecies and aligns with both the days of Noah and the
days of the Egyptian exodus which is what Scripture says are
the main points of reference to understand the end of days.
Im not sure if the daughters of men knew the fallen angels were
angels or not. They may have appeared as men like the angels
that went into Sodom and Gomorrha to get Lot out of there.
Then again, most of the ancient non-biblical writings made it
clear that it was angels and not men that took the daughters of
men so the women probably knew they were angels. I think the
angels probably deceived the women just like the serpent
deceived Eve. They probably promised them immortality or
some other such thing like evolving into a superhuman species
or something along those lines. I havent seen anything that
really shows a definitive answer either way.

I think David de Rothschild is an end time player.
Maybe hell make some appearance at the 2012 Olympics in
London (his hometown). Hes 33 yrs. old , has the bloodline,
looks like Jesus (even referred to as the plastic jesus), born
in the sign virgo (the virgin), he is already being touted as
the savior of the earth due to his environmental stance. Ill
bet hes the purest lineage of Cain/Satan we have on earth
today. I would even go so far as to say they had Nephilim
technological help in extracting some of Jesus DNA from the
Shroud of Turin or the Spear of Destiny, and mixed Satan
and Jesus DNA in David R. The GREATEST of apostasies!

Um, I like that you commented about the Jewish writings On
the Messiah, in that He has been called Bar Nafli or son of the
fallen one; i think that perhaps the Powers that be try to conceal
the real truth of the Fallne One from us.
As crazy as the may well read, i secretly belive that the Messiah was
the child of the Fallen except I believe that the Fallen-Ones, were
actually those people who were already in political powerThe
Romans.
See, if you think your other thoughts through to conclusion, in
reference to the following assertion you made and here i quote The
bloodline thing is interesting because you can trace most leaders of
the world today back to the ancient kings and leaders etc you
should be able to see this makes perfect sense, that these ROMANS
(Pronounced Rammans) would still have complete control over the
earth and over all inhabitiants of the Earth.
I Once read an assertion that the Virgin Mary was alegedly not a
virgin, but was Suposedly Raped, But of course, she really always
was a virgin. I believe i read somewhere, someone wrote a theory
that the ROMAN OFFICER PILOT was allegedly the father of Jesus.
and went on to say that Pilot did not know the truth of this, until
after he murdered Jesus, which Pilot allegedly discovered the truth,
only much too late and this is the real reason that he committed
suicide.
But The otherworldly act of invitro-fertilization or so called
Immaculate Conception (same thing), was allegedly agreed upon
very early in Mary life and she was Chosen specifically for thta
reason, and she agreed way in advance. In that Jesus was Concieved
in a more traditional type way, by otherworldly people, during the
Ancient Eras, does not make the Lord a fatherless child (Ba*tard).
Jesus was a Devine Human-being and he was the son of a GOD; But
Jesus was also an asended Master of an Omnicient Deity of a Higher
Realm and this is the true CHRIST which is not the ONE who is
directly discussed in the Catholic Doctrines. Rather He is someone
who is Manufactured in the Catholic Doctrines; there accounts are
only Half-Truths. The Real Jesus is a person of the Gnostic Faith and
is not the Celibate Homo Vampire that Catholics strive to portray.
The Christ that Jesus Worships is a GNOSTIC DEITY; an entirely
Omnicient/Invisible GOD of Souls, Irregardless of the fact, His
parentage was of an otherworldly being of the Arch in Heaven.
Since i am clearly not GOD, I cannot make any pretenses that i
understand this Pre0Ordained Birth Happening of poor Jesus,
but i can tell you that it was NEVER the intention of GOD to have
those assholes murder Him. I know that God is the judge of all and
that Christ Michael is not Reptilian, but a Zeta Riticulean Grey.
Mostly, GOD choses the most belevolent beings to minister his word.
Reptilian Hybrids are also children of the Omncient Christ and this is
the reason that Christ would not destroy all of the Reptilian HYBRIDS
who are faithful to Him and live by Example the Word in His
Commandments.
Anyhow, in terms of the Antichrist Beast, while i believe there is a
connection with the Nephilim and the antichrist, i believe that ALL
people are actually HYBRID Children of the Nephilims Children of
GODS because there are actually Many Different Races of GODs,
which explains the reason we ALL Look Differently. Asians, Africans,
Mexicans and Caucasians (and we have Luciferian Reptiloids, and
blue people alsoro Allegedly, anyhow), But NATURALLY do not look
anything alike; this is because ALL of us people Originated from
different Alien (othreworldly) Ancestry. Many of these otherworldly
beings, as has been alleged, cannot reproduce becuase they have
no sex oragans; so perhaps they are either trying to mix their DNA
with ours as a means of communicating through usto help us, or
perhaps they are trying to manipulate our Genetics to use our DNA
to kep them Clone or reproduce their own Seed.
But whatever the case, i believe that they are truly benevolent
people and perhaps they are trying to show their appreciation to
those of us who helped them to secure their liveslineage
throughout the universe, by sending us telepathic messages of
warning in exchange and by sometimes returning to ensure our
welfare is in good standing; as though, looking in on us as though
we their OWN Immediate family members their children.
But their genetics are infused with ours so we shoudl not hate these
beings; for all you know you would have never existed without any
these othr races, before the reptilians ever happened along Earth.
There was once a passage in the bible in which Jesus allegedly said:
BE ASSURED, YOU ARE ALL ALIEN RESIDENTS and i believe it
entirely. Jesus was NOT Referring to people from foreign countries
who needed green-cards to acquire united states citizenship.
Anyhow, sometimes that dirty little four-lettered WORD is proven
Stranger-Than-Fiction and when LOVE Happens, interracial
marriages sometimes occour.
Eventually people of different RACES (Alien) Such as ourselves these
people intermarry/interbreed and then there is another race of
Hybrid children, or perhaps manny different Hybrid Alien Races of
Children (depending on the nationalitysor ALien Ancestry of the two
people reproducing).
But Anyway, while I definitely believe the antichrist/beast or
whatever/whomever is going to be a nephilimi also think that He
will be of Reptilian Ancestry and of English Noble Blood because this
has been fortold throughoutr the Ages. Whether or not hell be a
literal giant I dont know but I doubt it. Specifically, while I DO
believe that there were Giants in the early Ages, but i also belive
that many people take many the WORDS in the bible out of context.
Passages have to be interpreted as BASED on the overall Topic of
the Sentence, while simultaneously determining the secret hidden
meaning HIDDEN BETWEEN THE LINES.
Sometimes the Word GIANT, when placed in a sentence with other
words such as men and women of great and terrible renown, is an
ALLUSION to the GRANDEUR of the PERSON; A Most Appropriate way
of indicating INFAMY/FAME (all at the same time). People who have
not only accomplished so many wonderful feats, but have also more
than likely either gotten way with pulling some rather trecherous
stunts (mostly, these are occasions where someone is very bad, but
only for the greater good in the very end)and of these Legends are
of exceptional people Like Hercules, Sparticus, Alexander the Great
and Achilles, who were ALL warriors, like jesus is the Child of a MALE
GOD.
It is true that during a Mission in Ancient times, it was NOT
Uncommon to SEND Only ONE SPARTAN Soldier as a Deliverer. All
throughout Times and Times, it has been said that It ONLY Took ONE
Spartan Warrior to Single-Handedly Decimate a LEGIONS of
Monsters?
It has also been said that the Romans have always Feared
Spartans. Perhaps in truth, the world Samaritan is synonymous
with Spartan who knows whether this is true or not becuase the
Romans have always lied about everything; it is just in their blood,
apparently.
Perhaps the romans fear spartans because of their renown of
viciously battling and single-handedly slaughtered hordes of evil
war-lords to save the day. But i think that Jesus is looked on as The
Spartan and it will be Jesus who returns as the Antichrist and
ONLY his father A GOD, will have the power to remove Him when the
time comes that GOD judges ALL of mankindis what i think.
And I definitely think he is going to be part man, part angeland
definately a Spartan.

Inreference to your sentence of commentary and here i quote:
I think the angels probably deceived the women just like the
serpent deceived Eve.
Although i think it is possible that the serpent decieved Eve, i also
believe that Eve has a little more than an Inkling that something
was amiss; reason being is that Eve is also a Child of a GOD (a God
of a Different race than the snake apparently). But the Slithering
Serpent, never really spoke to Eve, as was portrayed in the Bible, in
the sense everyone imagines, and in no possible way, Did a COILED
or SLITHERING Serpent decieved Eve.
As crazy as such affirmation will read, here goes: the allusion was
NOT JUST about the serpent and Eve. There was MORE Than One
Allusion and more than one Message to be Obtained Here; the first
Allusion was between the MAN and the SNAKE, becuase these
werethe first Two Things that Eve saw on that day. Apparently, the
reptile has mysteriously disappeared, and Eve was speaking with a
MAN who proclaimed to e an Emissary of GOD; Someone very
important that Eve was apparently expecting to come forward with a
message.
In Light of what we know todayand i have seen with mine own two
eyes, Apparently, the Man (poseing as an Ange//Messenger) was
NOT the person He Prtrayed himself as; rather he was a
shapeshifting reptilian being and He apparently decieved Eve. He
Informed Her that she was to do whatever it is that they did, PER
GODand HERE We are; The sons of Cain (Lucifuge). Of Course, this
Does Not Condemn any of Hybrid Child and this is th reason GOD
will not destroy ALL of These Type People, so long as they live by the
commandments of Christ. (The Child is never held accountable for
the sins of the father(s), UNLESS the Child willfully CHOSES to Follow
the EVIL Traditions of their Fathers; blood rituals and such. We Have
to stop FOREVER and immediately repent becuase IF YOU GO BACK
to the wicked Traditions after you RepentYou could be destroyed
when the Condemnation comes).
In all reality, someone Penciled in a Serpent in a tree and
mentioned a man whio miraculously appeared with deliberate
intent.
THERE WAS SUPOSED TO BE MADE A PARALEL BETWEEN THE MAN
AND THE SERPENT. In all Reality, Eve is actually a child of Jesus. The
Serpent who is also likened to a MANis in all reality an Alpha
Luciferian Hybrid Being. Dont you ever read the articles via internet
pertaining to the alpha Luciferian Reptiloid Beings? These
people/Beings are very intelligent and highly telepathic; they look
like ordinary Humans, in the respects that they come in all shapes
sizesand colors, but they are actually Extra-Ordiary.
attached an article i discovered via internet, in event you are
interested in further yoru education on the British Nobles and all
their relations in World Power Across the Globe.

Bluebloods!
The inner Earth provided a subterranean locale for the Reptilians to
regroup and formulate plans to retake the surface. At this point, the
Reptilians were completely cut off from their home in the Draco
constellation. Their spaceship, the Moon, was in human hands. They
were alone, isolated on a now hostile planet. They needed to defend
themselves.
They developed a plan to insidiously retake the surface by blending
their genetics with the genetics of the surface humans. Because the
human prototype already had Reptilian genetics, it was easy to
access the mind-pattern. The Reptilian frequency was already
established in the brain stem as well as the Reptilian brain section of
these hybrid humans.
The population of Sumer was chosen as the starting point. These
humans were primarily descendants of the Martian, Maldekian, and
Lyraen refugees. The Reptilians have a preference for the genetics
of blonde-haired, blue-eyed people whose mind-patterns and
genetics are so easily controlled. They abducted members of the
ruling classes, including political leaders.
Using these humans, they began a new hybridization program that
took several generations to perfect. Their goal was to reach a
human/ reptilian genetic 50/50 split. This would produce a humanlooking Reptilian that could easily shapeshift from Reptilian to
human, then back again. Shapeshifting was accomplished simply by
concentrating on the genetics the hybrid wished to open, or lock up,
whatever the case may be. For this program the Reptilians engaged
the help of the Sirians who had the technology to implement such a
program. The Sirians knew a lot about genetic alterations and mindprogramming, which they freely shared with the Reptilians.
Once the hybridization program was complete, the Sumerian
leaders were now shapeshifting Reptilians. The new Reptilian hybrid
became the elite of that culture. Their blood, because of the
increased Reptilian DNA, contained more of a copper content. Since
copper-based blood turns blue-green upon oxidizing, these Reptilian
hybrids were called Bluebloods.
American government is probably the main focus of the current
reptilian shapeshifters. Your attention is drawn to the vertical slit
eyeballs which shape shift in to many US military leaders Norman
Russbacher, Rupert Murdock, etc. Pictures: wiolawa.com We
suggested new rules requiring all government decisions and voting
must take place in 20% oxygen air, to kill the shapeshifters. The
Bluebloods quickly realized that with a 50/50 human/Reptilian
genetic split, it was necessary to intermarry to maintain the 50/50
split bloodline necessary to shapeshift. When the split increased too
far to the Reptilian side, shapeshifting became difficult, and holding
human form became impossible. In these cases, it was discovered
that the ingestion of human hormones, flesh, and blood, allowed the
Reptilians to maintain the human form.
Human form was necessary to maintain to avoid scaring the
population, which was now not accustomed to the Reptilian form
(therefore, in order to maintain the Human faade these
Reptilians would Clandestinely kill humans, drink their blood and
eat their flesh; thus people are deceived into performing satanic
rituals witch Reptilians, their Adversaries, which they Imagine as
ordinary Humans). Control of the masses was easier when the
orders came from a humanoid or What People Perceived
(Imagined) as an Ordinarily Black, Hispaic or White Human
beingand Reptilian Hybrids come in ALL Colors shapes and sizes.
The Reptilian format was kept Concealed behind religious icons and
legends (ie. Satan/Lucifuge was never a being of Light and could
ever transform himself into such a being of light because there is no
goodness (light) or wisdom (light) in Him; such was maliciously
printed in the Governments Politically (Reptilian/Satanic) motivated
Roman Catholic Bibles as another attempt of the Reptilians to
persecute the Saints of the Earths true God from His people on Earth
while continuing to enslave them; people would foolishly persecute
and murder their own Saints (which Jesus sent), while the Reptilians
Sat back on the asses in the Whitehouse and laugh at the peoples
foolishness amongst all their other Reptilian family members
which are all the other World Leaders around the world.
Unbeknownst to the greater majority of people, nearly all these
World Leaders around the world are Related to the Queen of England
Whore of BabylonMother of Abominations. I have no clue as to
the reason no-one has figured the REAL Truth of what is going on
in the world out for them because it is as plain as the nose on
anyones face. The Queen of England is the Puppet Master and is
pulling the strings of Every World Leader around the world; it is she
who is responsible of every Evil that happens in this entire world.
Obviously, the Queen Cries broken and destitute but this is a merely
only another deception, manufactured to avert the eyes of suspicion
away from the British crown; no-one has as much Money, Property
or Influence, the Entire world Overas the Queen of England (fat and
drunken of the blood of the saints is both Rome and New Rome).
New York and the United States are merely the two places the
Queen (New Rome) and the Papacy (Ancient Rome) hides behind;
she keeps all her money tied up in the New York Banking System, as
all of her Wealthy Family Members (all of which are ALL of All other
Countries world Leaders)and the Queen Also CURRENTLY OWNS
most of the United and NOT the Common People in the US who are
Evil, in all of this; so by all means, do not be caught persecuting the
innocent, since it is the Queen and Her Papacy of Rome who are the
Evil). Ever notice how people are trying to run around pinning the
tail on the Antichrist? Everyone thinks the Antichrist is their own
World Leaders. Guess what? They are ALL Correct. I was observing a
Christian Website which listed the names of MANY People in Political
Power of the White House and ALL of them had the numbers 666 to
their names. The same with foreign LEADERS of Other Countries; the
greater majority of them has 666, attached to their names. DO YOU
IMAGINE THIS IS A COINCENDENCE? It Is NO Coincidence. It Is Also
No Coincidence that the PAPACY is 666; You can research this fact
because the evidence is in the papacys own documentation, and
plainly indicates that there are nearly 15 different TITTLE-NAMES
Of the POPESand the thing about Romans, is that Romans use
their Alphabetical letters as numbers. So when you add all of the
Roman Numerals in these titles, each of these names bears the
numbers 666. What Does this Prove? Well, the BIBLE Indicates that
there IS NOT Just ONE Antichrist BUT MANY ANTICHRISTS.And
further Assures ALL People THAT ALL SHALL BE DECIEVED and If
Even Possible SATAN COULD ALMOST DECIEVE THE VERY ELECT
(Elect as in Meaning the Prophet send by Jesus, alluded to in the
book of Revelations). So APPARENTLY, the ONLY Person who will not
be deceived is this person; but of course, everyone else figures the
truth of this revelation out themselves, once this truth is publicly
exposed. Fact: The Satan is the Reptilian Queen of Englandand her
Hybrid Reptile/Human Prince Charles and all of His/Her Fallen
Minions are all of her relations who just so happen to be all 10 (TEN)
Kings of the Earth (All the World Leaders on Earth), or Nearly ALL of
these Leaders Anyhow, Maybe some will see the error of Her ways
and Maybe as Prophecy indicates they will all hate her and Devour
her flesh. I have no clue.
JESUS THE CHRIST, DEFINED A WHORE AS A PERSON WHO WAS
SPRITUALLY UNFAITHFUL TO JESUS. JESUS RAN THROUGH THE
TEMPLE, TURNING OVER TABLES AND SMACKING PREISTS ASIDE
THEIR HEADS, LABELING ALL OF THEM AS WHORES! THEY WERE
DOING BLOOD RITUALS IN THE TEMPLES OF GOD AND JESUS
TEACHES THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT MURDER. JEHOVA AND JESUS
ARE NOT THE SAME GOD. .JESUS IS NOT A REPTILIAN DEITY. THE
TRUE FAITH OF JESUS IS GNOSTICISM; BUT THE TRUE FAITH OF
JESUS IS NOT JUDAISM OR ROMAN CATHOLICISM, AND THIS IS THE
TRUE REASON THAT THE ROMANS AND THE JEWS HAVE TEAMED UP
AGAINST JESUS AND PERVERTED HIS BIBLE. THESE PEOPLE BANNED
THE TRUE FAITH OF JESUS AND MANUFACTURED THEIR OWN BRAND
OF JESUS TO SUIT THEIR OWN SELFISH POLITICAL PURPOSES.
JEHOVA IS REPTILIAN DEITY (ie. THE DEVIL/SATAN); JESUS IS NOT A
REPTILIAN DEITY. REPTILIAN HYBRIDS CAN ASCEND TO HEAVEN; BUT
THE GREATER MAJORITY OF PURE-BLOODED REPTILIANS DO NOT
ASCEND TO THE OMNICIENT/SPIRITUAL KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, IN
WHICH JESUS SPAKEBECAUSE THE REPTILIANS ARE A RACE OF
PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIVE A LIKE OF GOODNESS AND PURITY;
RATHER THEY FEED ON DECEPTION, CAHOS, VIOLENCE, MURDER,
AND PREY ON THE WEAK AND INNOCENT. SO ALTHOUGH
REPTILIANS AND THEIR HYBRIDS CAN ASCEND UP INTO THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, THEY TYPICALLY DO NOT.
SINCE ALL THE WORLD LEADERS ARE HER HYBRID CHILDREN ,
MINIONS, IS THEIR A POSSIBILITY THAT THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND
WILL DO SOMETHING TO BETRAY SOME OF THESE PEOPLELIKE
CONSPIRE TO BLOW UP THEIR COUNTRIES WHILE THEY ARE
SLEEPING? EVENTUALLY, THESE PEOPLE WILL RUN OUT OF PEOPLE
TO VICTIMIZE AND WILL TURN ON THEIR OWN BECAUSE THE PURER
BLOOD OF THE REPTILIAN, THE LEAST COMPASSIONATE THEY ARE
INCLINED; THE QUEEN IS LIKELY MORE INCLINED TOWARDS ACT OF
EVIL THAN CHARLESAND THE CHILDREN OF CHARLES AND DIANA
ARE LESS INCLINED TO EVIL THAT CHARLES, WHICH THIS IS
BECAUSE THE REPTILIAN BLOOD-LINE BECOMES LESS PURELY-EVIL.
MY POINT IS THAT WHILE WE CHILDREN DO NOT LIKE TO THING EVIL
OF OUR PARENTS AND I DO NOT BELIEVE PRINCE CHARLES IS AN
EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE, I ALSO BELIEVE THAT LIKE ALL OTHER
CHILDREN, HE IS BLINDED ABOUT THE EXTEND OF HIS MOTHERS
EVILAND SHE DEFINITELY ORCHESTRATED THE DEATH OF HIS EXWIFE, PRINCESS DIANA. PEOPLE WHO ARE AS NATURALLY
INCLINED TO EVIL AS THE PURER BLOODD REPTILIANS SUCH AS
THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND (AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE
RATHER ELDERLY) EVENTUALLY GET TO THE POINT WHERE THEY
REALIZE THIR LIVES ARE COMING TO AN END AND THEY WILL
OFTENTIMES SNAP AD TAKE COUNTIRES/WORLDS OF PEOPLE
RIGHT ALONG WITH THEM. SHE COULD EASILY CREATE A
CONSPIRACY, WHICH HIS WHAT THE REPTILIAN ILLUMINATI LIVE TO
DO, TRIFLE, CONSPIRE AND KILLAND I SENCERELY BELIEVE THAT
SHE WILL EVENTUALLY, KILL OFF COUNTRIES OF PEOPLE IF NOT
STOPPED IN PLENTY OF TIME IN ADVANCE.
IN TERMS OF THE WORLD, SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, I
THINK THAT I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD WAS
RULED BY ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE AND IT NEVER HAS BOTHERED
ME. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD UNITE
TOGETHER. HOWEVER, I ALSO THINK THAT ALL OF THE WORLD
LEADERS SHOULD ALSO LEARN TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES;
OUTSIDE OF THE BUBBLE OF THE QUENN OF ENGLANDS
ORAGAINZATION CALLED ILLUMINAT, BECAUSE THIS IS JUST A
CULT CLUB UNSED TO BRAIN WASH ALL THEIR FOLLOWERS, WHICH
ARE PEOPLE THEY DO NOT RESDPECT OR LIKE ANYWAY. THERE IS
NO-ONE WHO FITS THE PROPHECY AND BETTER THAN THE QUEEN
OF ENGLAND. THE QUESTION I HAVE BEEN PONDERING: WILL ALL of
THE WORLD LEADERS HATE THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND, WHORE OF
BQABAYLON AND DEVOUR HER FLESH? WILL THEY BREACH THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH IN ROME AND DISCOVER THE 7000 YEARS OF
SUPRESSED TRUTH IN RELATION TO THE REAL JESUS?
One thing about all of the nondefense though; it is neither the fault
of New York nor is it the fault of the people in the United States, that
the Illuminati and the Governments Hollywood create Porn-flicks
and Promote violence, murder, rape, child-molestation and sex
magazines. The Queen of England (New Rome), is trying to protect
herself and Ancient ROME (The Papacy/ Antichrist) and ALL her other
ILLUMINAZED Perverts from public revelation and total destruction,
but averting the eyes of suspicion away from Her (Hew Rome) and
her Evil Papacy in ANCIENT ROME). As farfetched and as Crazy as
such an affirmation may well read, the following is nonetheless
entirely true; Satan/Lucifuge really is a Reptilian/Human Hybrid who
Only Appears (Looks) on his exterior as Ordinary Human. Which
the legend about Satan not being a Being of Light and therefore
easily concealing his true identity and deceiving humanity, just so
happen to be entirely true; ALL Legends are in actuality, entirely
based on a very strong foundation of Reality).
Reptilians have been in control over everything and have been for
many centuries; they control everything That You Think YOU
KNOW (and YOU Only KNOW Whatever they Have ALLOWED You to
Think) from what you watch in movies, World News Events and
government affairs and even inside of all the Gospels written inside
of the Bibles which were manufactured as a Means of Political
Control and not for your spiritual salvationby the Roman Catholic
Church, which was a Government Body during the Ancient Era and
still has Great Political influence over world leaders (who are their
family relationsall whores in the Papacy); most of everything you
think you know, is largely based on complete deception and
including the notion that Jesus Voluntarily DIED as a Means of
ABSOLVING Mankinds Sins. Jesus was perceived as a Political Threat
and was murdered. All the people (most of which were Reptilian
hybrids) who were manipulated by the people in Government
powers and were manipulated, misinformed that they were ALL
condemned and going to Hades simply because they are the
children of Cain which was an outright lie; an Evil ploy to manipulate
them into doing Evil unto other people and betraying Jesus, which is
because the world Leaders and the Corrupt Church Leadersknew
that they were ALL definitely going to Hades, and primarily because
they had no intentions of changing their Evil ways.
The statues of the gods and goddesses reflect the Reptilian
influence, even showing a female Reptilian holding a hybrid baby.
The shapeshifting Reptilian Bluebloods asked the Sirians for help
with the daily maintenance of their human forms. The Sirians
determined that feeding the hybrids human hormones and blood in
an altered animal form would be the easiest way to do it unnoticed
by the population.
The sacrificial animal used by most Middle Eastern people was the
wild boar, so the Sirians chose it as the basis for this new animal
hybrid. Human genetics were mixed with those of the wild boar to
create the domesticated pig. This animal was served daily to the
Bluebloods as a method of temporarily maintaining their human
form until they could use an actual human in a sacrificial ceremony.
Because the domesticated pig is a combination of human and
animal genetics, eating it is a form of cannibalism; this explains why
the Hebrews considered it unclean to eat. This is also why the pig is
considered to be the most intelligent animal on Earth, why pig skin
can be grafted directly onto humans in burn cases, and why pig
heart valves can be used in humans with little difficulty. Cancer
drugs and other chemicals are often tested on pigs before humans.
The domesticated pig frequency, or group mind, is the perfect
vehicle for animal species to enter before entering human form on
their evolutionary progression. In many respects, pigs can be
considered a form of humanity; to a lesser degree, the same is true
about cats.
As time progressed, the civilization of Sumer declined and
transformed into other cultures. Vast migrations from Sumer to
other locations in Central Asia occurred. The migrating peoples took
their Blueblood leaders with them, as they were their royalty and
kings. (Which we also know these people are lying about the
Judeans Savior Jesus, in respects that the reptilians allege that jesus
was one of them because apparently Jesus not one of them, or they
probably would not have murdered him. But then again. Reptilians
are cold-blooded creatures; so perhaps the notion of murdering
someone who is related to them phases them no differently than
biting into a Pear).
The Sumerians became known as the sum-Aryans, or just, Aryans
(like James the Just/sum-aryanJesus the Just/sum-aryan). They
spread out across Asia into the steppes of Russia and into the
Northern Indian subcontinent. In India they encountered the darkskinned Dravidians, who were Reptilian remnants from Lemuria. The
Dravidians were driven to the central and southern parts of India,
while the Aryan (white) Reptilian hybrids took control of the north,
and into the foothills of the Himalayas. The Aryan leaders, all
Bluebloods, became the Sultans and Rajas of legend and history.
Sumerians also created Babylonia. (so see, there is actually no real
Black versus White issue, the issue is Black and White Reptiloids
who hate all ordinary Black and White Human People and it is these
type people who cause the Racism Confusion between
NORMAL/HUMAN Blacks, Whites and Asians. These Reptilian Hybrids,
literally Despise Jesus and ALL HUMAN Children of Jesus; so this was
not really a Black ro White issue; it was a reptiloid versus human
type issue and as crazy and affirmation will read, this is still their
motive operandi. The Higher cast of Reptiloid Hybrids who are Black,
White, Asian, Mexican perceive all the rest of us a slaved, food, and
sacrifices for the slaughter of their Pagan Gods, and when it comes
down to it, they also will kill and eat their own kind; so joining their
ranks of Illuminati Masonic Unions and their Mormon and Catholic
Churches is not going to save any of you. Their churches are ONLY
fronts for Satanic Blood Rituals. They literally hate Jesus and
humans and perhaps this is because they are condemned for their
blood-lust against humanityI have no clue; but there is no other
reason to dislike Jesus, the God of All souls in the Flesh, including
their own.except that they know what they are doing is Evil and
they hate to be reminded of that fact. They should not be killing
people and drinking bloodperiod. If they know humans are afraid
of them and they are not supposed to coexist with humans, then
were they a humble and wise race of beings/people they would just
leave the planet. The reason they infused humanity with their own
DNA is because they know they are Evil and they are trying to
prevent us from resisting them, by their ability to read our minds
and telepathically control us (which incidentally, there are high
powered magnets that people can purchase via internet to
counteract this and there are also a certain kind of head-wear made
out of a material similar to Kevlar that blocks their telepathic
signals. I would imagine that some sort of solar material would also
work, like the type that traps in body heat. In the Bible, the Ancient
used to always cover their heads when praying to GOD, I think this
could have something to do with the reptilians, telepathic
capabilitysexcept I noticed that nothing HOMEMADE seems to
work unless it is very heavy duty duct tape (like the thick electrical
silver kind), like you could create a liner on the inside of a baseball
cap, or a cowboy hat.
But Anyway, whatever the true case of the hatred the Reptilians
harbor against Jesus is rather foolish since Jesus was not born on
Earth to represent only ONE Race of people, but was on Earth to
Represent the SOUL of ALL Living Creatures, without regards to
anyones Ancestry. CHRIST is an Invisible/Omniscient GOD of the
SOULOF ALL SOULS who are Created in ALL Manner of FLESH. As
anyone who has ever Experienced a Clinical Death Experience,
Astral Projected or experienced a brief Out Of Body Experience, This
is Evidence that THE SOUL Continues to Live Outside of The Flesh,
Whereas the Flesh Cannot Live Without The Soul. Case in Point:
When Someone Astral Projects or Experiences some sort of out of
body experience, After the person regain present consciousness by
returning to the Earthly Realm, they notice their body has been
completely immobilized, while the person curiously recalls having
traveled somewhere/everywhere and seen something/everything.
How could this be possible since the persons FLESH (container) was
not Living/Functioning During this REALITY they have experienced?
The Soul Continues to Live On and the Flesh is nothing without the
soul. So it is also incorrect for people to worship themselves. Rather
the message of Jesus intended that people should have faith in
Jesus, but they should pray in private, meditate and reflectdeep
into our inner-self because OUR SOUL is the Only Part of Us That Is
Created IN GODS Image.
I read an article via internet and I saw a picture of a man who was
allegedly of reptilian decent; i was not alarmed and saw no reason
that anyone else should be alarmed either. I would certainly much
rather see such a person walking around in their true form than to
know that were out there drinking and eating other people of other
Race (Species, like sons of Adam) in order to keep Putting on a
pretense of human Faade, just so YOU dont have to be disturbed
by their appearance. Would everyone rather these Reptilian
beings/people be out Eating the Flesh and Drinking the blood of
innocent people just to spare your Evil eyes, from revealing the truth
to your weak, hateful mindsso you dont have to be offended that
your Illusion of reality is based on nothing except complete deceit,
and willful ignorance. If that is the case, whose crime against
humanity is worse, your or theirs, since it is People like YOU who are
basically encouraging the MASONIC ILLUMINATI to do these horrible
things and dont say They do not do Evil, because YOU DO NOT
KNOW; the real truth about the evils of the Iluminati, on the higher
levels of the Masonic Levels of the union, is always concealed.
Whatever the dilemma of the reptilian and the reason for their anger
and resentment towards Jesus is essentially groundless and
unwarranted because while CHRIST is a GOD of ALL SOULS
(including the Reptilian Hybrids who accept and live by the Code of
Jesus), when the Name CHRIST is attached to another Humans
Name Such as Lord Jesus CHRIST (the Man) and Lord Michael
CHRIST (rather Christ Michael), the name Attached to Both Saint
Michael and Jesus becomes more of a TITTLE than a name, which
indicate UNITY (Christ with me, representative serving as a link
between Christ in Heaven and you people on Earth). The tittle is a
way of indicating that the Christ Consciousness (Omniscient and
Invisible God-Head, Jesus) has united with the Saint, which means
they have established a higher state of consciousness by way of the
Higher Power CHRIST and Has been appointed to communicates
His messages to the people. There is no threat to the Reptilians and
no threat to the humans; the only time there is a threat is when the
reptilians are the instigators of the threat, which reptilians do not
like change or compromise so they become agitated over nothing
fairly easy.
Anyhow, this tittle CHIRST is attached to the name of any
enlightened person sent to serve humanity throughout time. It has
been said that in very end the Entire truth shall be revealed to ALL
of Humanity and at that MOMENT in Time, We Shall ALL Become
Changed AND WE WILL ALL BECOME ENLIGHTENED TO THE POINT
THAT OUR INNER- LIGHT (WISDOM) WILL JUST SHINE THROUGH AND
THIS ALSO INCLUDES MANY OF THE REPTILIAN HYBRIDS WHO ALSO
LIVE BY THE WORD OF JESUS.
Jesus was not a racist, He is the Invisible/Supernatural Holy-Ghost; a
God of the SOUL and he is an Invisible GOD who sometimes speaks
through the mouth piece of his chosen messengers; but the thing
about the lord, is that He always chooses the most humble of
species to communicate His Messages through and this is the
reason He typically does not chose
Reptilianssince reptilians are typically people who are more
inclined to politics than religion. But that does not mean that Jesus
does not love ALL Creations, because HE does; it is just that some
people are literally created to serve specific functions in life.
Everyone has something they were specifically created to do better
than the next person and the person opposite them, is also better at
something than that person; it is good to be different and
independent of others because this way, we never become
uninteresting and bored, and it helps bring the people in the world
together because this waywe all feel a slight need to depend on
the person next to us).
The Sumerians also migrated to the area known as the Caucasus
Region, where the Khazars developed. From the Caucasus Region,
the Blueblood kings and their people spread west toward Europe,
developing into the Franks, Cambrians, and Teutonic nationalities.
These nationalities were also being manipulated by various alien
cultures like the Antarians, Arcturians, Aldebarans, Tau Cetians, and
other remnants of the Lyraens, such as the Atlans. The Atlans
located here eventually became the Celts.
To back-track for just a bit, I had said in a previous chapter that the
descendants of the Reptilian hybrid Sumerians went into Central
Asia and the Middle East. They mostly established themselves in the
Caucasus Mountains and became the Khazars. From here, they
spread west toward Europe, seeding the national identities for the
Vikings, the Franks, the Teutonic peoples, and the Russians. Keep in
mind that when Atlantis sank, some of those refugees went to
Western Europe and developed into the Celts. Some went to Greece
and others to the Italian Peninsula. These ATLANTEAN peoples were
here before the Reptilian hybrids moved in. It was during the interim
time period from the destruction of Atlantis until the Sumerian
descendants moved in that other alien groups started to add their
genetic mix to the pot and develop individual cultures based on
their home worlds. (Everything the reptilian touch seems to turn to
shite; they ultimately destroy ALL the cultures of people they
infiltrate and manipulate, to their complete and utter doom; if things
do not change, the United States will be next).
These Blueblood leaders (Reptilian/Human Hybrids) also infiltrated
the Middle Eastern peoples, such as the Biblical Canaanites,
Malachites, and Kittites (which is not surprising since deception,
infiltration, chaos and destruction is their specialty. In fact, Jesus was
once quoted as having said I KNOW THAT ONE OF YOU HERE IS A
DEVIL; it is the shape-shifting Reptilians that Jesus was forewarning
ALL humanity againstand this included all the other children who
are less than Full-blooded Reptilian because these Children also
have Souls that can be saved. Order out of chaos is the Reptilian
Way).
At the same time in Egypt, the Sirians were reorganizing the
Atlantean descendants there, known as the Phoenicians. The
Phoenicians were blonde-haired, blue-eyed, with some green-eyed,
red-haired people among them. The Phoenicians colonized the
coastal Middle East and the British Isles. They even colonized parts
of the North-eastern North American continent, all the way to the
Great Lakes area. Some of their mines and writing son stone
tablets can still be found in the woods of North America. The Sirians
were also genetically creating the ancient Hebrews. The Jewish
people are actually a combination of these genetically manipulated
Hebrews and the Sumerians. These Jewish people were then
released into the Palestinian territory. The name, Palestine, comes
from the ancient people, the Philistines, who were actually
Phoenicians. (Incidentally, Jesus, dis not dislike the
Philistines/Samaritans because Jesus was/is a Philistines/Samaritan
(people of the Just; such as indicated in the name of the Lords
Brother which was James the Just, which is a Polite way of referring
to Him as a Samaritan). But in truth, Jesus despised the Followers of
the Reptilian GOD Jehova because those Evil in the Governments
Church Temples STOLE the Scripture of Jesus as passed down to His
Apostles and then they proceeded to Conspire his Death by way of
public execution.
All of these mixed in the coastal plains of Palestine and created a
new religion based on sacrifice and an avenging alien controller,
that they called God, or Elohim.
Similarly, when the Aryans mixed with the Dravidians in India, they
created the Hindu religion, which is actually a recreation of the
Reptilian seven-tier hierarchy. The caste system of India is a direct
copy of the Reptilian division of function.
At the same time that all of this was going on in western and central
Asia, the Rigelians, were developing the remnants of Lemuria who
escaped to the coast of eastern Asia. The Rigelians were a human
civilization that was controlled, and eventually assimilated, by the
Reptilians. The Rigelians assisted the inner Earth Reptilians in
developing a hybrid that included Rigelian DNA. The Rigelian/
Reptilian hybrids set up dynasties in what is now Japan and China
that developed independently of their western cousins.
In their mania for control, the Reptilians used the various races that
donated DNA to the original human project. They fastidiously
monitored these related sections of hybrids to determine which was
best suited for overall control, and which for subservience. All the
hybrids could be controlled through the Reptilian brain that hooked
them into Reptilian mind-patterns, but some were more controllable
than others.
In Europe, the Bluebloods insidiously took control of the various
tribes and groups, becoming their kings and royalty. They infiltrated
the Arcturian experiment, called the Etruscans and started to create
a new global empire through the Romans. These European
Bluebloods then entirely eliminated the Antarian experiment in
Greece, and instigated their plan for globalization through the
Roman Empire.
The Reptilians even offended the Sirians by infiltrating the Egyptian
experiment and implementing their religion there.
The Reptilian hybrids became like the endometriosis of the known
world, slowly growing into all areas and creating control through the
Blueblood system.
Other alien groups
While the Reptilians were the first colonists on Earth, they were not
the only ones who interfered with human development on this
planet. In all there are twelve other groups who donated DNA to the
production of the experiment. Add the Reptilians to the twelve
groups, resulting in human beings with a genetic mixture of 13
different strains.
The result was a general free-for-all. While all these humanoid aliens
were Lyraen/Reptilian descendants, each group was culturally and
physically manipulated by different groups. This is similar to a lab
professor who leaves the door open while he is gone, and all his
assistants add their own genetics to the experiment.
The Tau Ceti aliens centred their attention on the eastern European
area, from what is now Serbia to the slopes of the Ural Mountains.
From here, they influenced the Slavic and Russian peoples. The
geographic conditions resembled that in the Tau Ceti star system,
and its colony Epsilon Eradanus. The Tau Ceti added their DNA to
the human prototypes that were already established there, creating
what is now known as the Slavic peoples. The results were a race of
humans who were stocky, barrel-chested, and averaging 56 to 59
in height, with a dense bone structure and dark eyes. They were
aggressive, and preferred a cold climate.
These Tau Ceti/humans were virulently against the grey alien race
and the Reptilians, because their worlds had been attacked, and
their children stolen and killed by both races. The Tau Cetians vowed
to follow the grey race and destroy them.
In the 1950s, the Soviet Union signed an agreement with the Tau
Cetians to use bases in Siberia and under the Ural Mountains. For
this reason, the city of Sverdlovsk, named after my great-uncle, the
first president of the Soviet Union, was closed to outsiders. Many
experiments involving radiation on the public were performed here
from 1958 through the 1980s. A United States spy plane was shot
down over Sverdlovsk in the early 1960s when the United States
was trying to learn about the secret activities taking place there.
In central Europe, the German tribes were genetically manipulated
by beings from Aldebaran. These people are very intelligent and
scientifically-oriented. They are generally blonde-haired and blueeyed, with a minority of dark-haired, light-brown to hazel-eyed
people. They are militaristic, and prefer to keep to themselves. For
almost 2,000 years, the Aldebarans have been energetically
connecting to the Germanic peoples, telepathically sending
information to them and promoting a national sentiment.
Many humans of the Aldebaran frequency have mixed with the Tau
Ceti descendants in the Slavic area, particularly in Poland and
Russia. Hitler knew this. That is why he was so adamant about
invading those countries and incorporating them into his empire.
Hitler was only half Germanic. His father was a wealthy Jewish
businessman in Austria. His mother worked at the home as a maid.
She had an affair with the master of the house, and when the wife
found out about it, had the maid thrown out. The Jewish
businessman did nothing to help Hitlers mother. For this reason,
Hitler hated the Jews and sought to destroy his own genetic lineage,
basically because he hated himself. He was also deeply mindcontrolled.
The Aldebarans also genetically infused the Vikings. These Nordic
people inherited the aggressive and militaristic tendencies that are
also seen in the Germans. The Vikings plundered and raped across
Europe for centuries, but did not have the technological ability to
stay in power.
An accidental manipulation of genetics occurred on the Italian
peninsula 3000 years ago. A ship from the Arcturus star system
crashed landed on Etruscan territory. These humans were actually
extremely spiritually-minded, and instead of trying to get back
home, stayed and blended into the humans of that part of Earth.
Their descendants became the Romans who were then infiltrated
and mixed with the Central Asian hybrids.
Beings from the Antarian star system were behind the genetic
manipulation of ancient Greece. These people were a society
predominantly based upon homosexuality. Females were used for
breeding only. In fact, there were Antarian observers at the Montauk
Project who were interested in the programming aspects of sexuality
as they related to the Wilhelm Reich methods. The Antarians are
dark, often with olive skin, dark eyes, and short, thin bodies. They
have a fabulous musculature due to the density of their home-world,
and are known for their body-building goals.
The Greek-Antarians colonized Spain and Portugal. Their
descendants further mixed with the Romans, and Arabs who are
predominantly Sumerian/Reptilian. These then colonized Central and
South America, mixing their genetics with the native Indians who
were of Atlantean-Procyon descent.
The Procyon star system does not have much technology. The
Procyons were brought to this planet after the fall of Atlantis to
boost the survival rate of the refugees. They became the Maya,
Aztec, and Inca. They were given ancient Lemurian and Atlantean
outposts in the Andes and Sierras of Mexico. They tried
unsuccessfully to recreate these cultures, including emulating the
building of the pyramids, performing medical procedures, and
finally, sacrificing to the Reptilian gods. This is why their legends
speak of blond men returning in chariots from space to take them
away.
The Anasazi Indians of the American southwest were also brought
from Procyon. It was the Sirians who so generously provided
transportation. The Sirians even attempted to bring the Hebrews to
the American west. Ancient Hebrew coins were found in New Mexico
and other parts of North and South America.[4]
Over the millennia and recent centuries, movements of nations,
colonizations, war, and famines, have thrown the Earths population
into a giant melting pot. Strands of genetics have continuously
mixed with one another, especially in North America, Europe,
Australia, the Caribbean, and South America. The result is that there
are few pure races left, and the racial and cultural unity makes it
easier for group control.
While all of this was going on in Europe and the Middle East, the
Chinese Empire was expanding over East Asia, and the DravidianReptilian culture in India was being replaced by the Aryan (Ari- and
Sum-Arian) hordes from Central Asia. In South America, the Inca
Empire was flourishing as it was mixed with the genetics of the
Procyon star system.
The same mixture was happening in North and Central America
creating the Toltecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. All of these cultures, used
blood-ritual and human sacrifice. This indicates that the Procyonians
were themselves conquered by the Reptilians and did their bidding,
even though they were humanoid. All of the Central and South
American cultures used snakes and Reptilians as symbols. These
people have a unique blend of Lemurian/Draco and
Atlantean/Human genetics mixed with the Procyonian DNA.

The Crystal Skull
When the Hatona Council convened to determine the development
of life on Earth, they pondered two questions. First, if the Earth
beings were left to develop on their own, how would they know their
true origins, and second, if there was no interference, how could
they be prodded in the correct direction.
One E.T. group that was primarily non-physical decided to leave a
repository of knowledge for those who evolved enough to
understand it. These muscular beings were tall with golden-bronze
skin, golden hair, and violet eyes. On an etheric level, this E.T. group
created an object that contained within it the sum total of
knowledge of the Mind of God as they knew it. They also
programmed this object with the history of the universe and all the
technology that would ever be necessary.
For the object this group chose the shape of a female human skull
without any racial features. The skull represented all humanoids,
symbolizing brotherhood and harmony. The female was chosen
because it was to be placed in physical reality as a symbol of ego
being overcome. Crystal was chosen because it represents the
highest vibration possible in physical reality purity, clarity,
focusing, and magnification. The movable jaw piece symbolized the
fact that it was a communication device. The E.T. group left the
Crystal Skull with the first Lyraen/ Atlantean civilization where it was
placed in a temple pyramid to be energized by the Lyraen/
Atlanteans over many aeons of time.
When the Sirians infiltrated the second-generation Lyraen/ Atlantean
civilization, they negotiated with the Atlans to study the Crystal
Skull. Over time, they created an exact duplicate that they brought
back to Sirius A. Other alien groups made inferior copies of it for use
with their own human creations. By the time the third generation
Lyraen/ Atlanteans were well established, the true purpose of the
Crystal Skull was almost entirely forgotten.
Those in power tried to use it for negative purposes, not realizing
that this magnified and reflected back all their evil deeds and
intentions. In addition, the Crystal Skull was created in such a way
that whatever is thought in its presence reflects back, becoming a
part of the thinkers experiences. The Crystal Skull teaches that the
physical universe mirrors thoughts.
When Atlantis sank, high priests fleeing the continent brought it to
Central America to where the Procyonians brought the Maya. Here,
it was used as an object of worship and reverence until the Maya
were removed from the Earth. Eventually, the Crystal Skull remained
buried in ruins until its discovery in the early part of the 20th
Century, when the Crystal Skull allowed itself to be discovered.
The Crystal Skull operates through the trinity of communication
color, tone, and archetype. When any combination of these three is
beamed or thought of in the presence of the Crystal Skull, it opens a
program that is coded to a particular frequency resonance.
An infinite number of combinations can be used, and any one will
unlock a program in the Crystal Skull to teach mankind. The leftbrain represents language, and the right-brain represents pure
thought. The pineal gland of communication balances and translates
the left- and right- brains with the use of archetypes.
Archetypes can be geometric shapes, letters, numbers, Ancient
Hebrew symbols, pictograms, or any combination of these. Colors
are also part of the triad with a language all their own. The left-brain
is dark, the right-brain is light, and once again, the pineal gland
balances and translates this through colors. Tones also represent the
trinity of sound, balancing music and silence. In the same way, the
Crystal Skull balances the Mind of God and physical reality.
At times, the Crystal Skull becomes non-physical. Because it was
created without a body, this symbolizes the needlessness of the
physical body. The Crystal Skull is a bridge between all levels of
reality. Anyone who knows the sequences of the trinity of
communication becomes all-powerful and omniscient.
9 The Ancient Hebrews
Most modern Jews have absolutely no genetic link to the Middle
East. There are in fact, many different physical types of Jews,
covering many racial characteristics. This supports the fact that they
are not a homogeneous group, but a religious group that spans
many cultures. The story of Abraham going out from the city of Ur
and coming to Canaan is really telling the story of the Reptilian
hybrids leaving Sumerian territory and colonizing other parts of
Central Asia and the Middle East. The vast majority of
European/American Jews can trace their genetic lineage to the
Khazars, mentioned in the last chapter, who all converted to
Judaism in the 800s to circumvent the Catholic rule of the Holy
Roman Empire.
In the year 2000, the University of Pavia in Italy did a genetic study
of European men. They found that 80% of them had a direct lineage
to Central Asia and the other 20% to the Middle East. This supports
the statement that the Sumerians entered into Central Asia and
then migrated to Europe and the Middle East. This also nullifies the
theory of Africa as the birthplace of mankind. There is absolutely no
genetic connection from Asia or Europe to Africa.
The ancient Hebrews have nothing to do with modern Jews. As
mentioned in the previous chapter, the Hebrews were Sirian-created
in Egypt by combining Sirian and Lyraen genetics. These people
were tall and powerful, and spoke the Sirian language which is the
equivalent to the ancient Hebrew language. Scholars agree that the
Hebrew language suddenly appeared on the scene.
The ancient peoples of Palestine spoke Aramaic, which was the
parent language of Arabic, Farsi, and several other Middle Eastern
dialects. Originally, Hebrew was a language used exclusively by the
priesthood and the Egyptian secret society. Eventually, ancient
Hebrew began to mix with Aramaic, among other languages.
The Hebrews were actually paid workers in Egypt. They went to
Canaan to assimilate the native cultures for the Egyptian Empire.
They mixed with the local tribes of Sumerian-hybrid descendants,
practicing blood-ritual and human sacrificed. All of this was
incorporated into a conglomerate religion based on ancient
Egyptian/Atlantean/ Sirian beliefs. That is how Judaism was born.
The story of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt is a poor retelling of
the destruction of the island of Santorini in the eastern
Mediterranean Sea by volcanic explosion. The lava dispersed into
the sea causing it to turn blood-red. The volcanic ash and rock that
spewed forth created the legend of the plagues on Egypt. Many
citizens fled the area. The Red Sea parted when the ground under
the water rose up, exposing land that could then be crossed. Several
hours later, it sank back down, drowning whoever was still trying to
cross.
The actual translation of how the Ten Commandments, or the Bible
codes, were transmitted to the people of the Exodus, states that the
people spontaneously started speaking the instructions. This is a
demonstration of mind-to-mind communication. In this case,
programming was electromagnetically activated, revealing DNA
instructions that were then written down. These instructions were
designed to keep the experiment/ project in line.
The Middle East became a focal point for the Sirians and their
Reptilian allies. Together, they generated a new version of religion
and culture for ease of global control and domination. What better
way to do that than by programming a race of nomadic people that
would carry the religion and culture everywhere on the Earth.
Whenever the conditions within the experiment became
unmanageable, the particular overseer group made corrections. For
example, most people are familiar with the story of the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah, where a group of humans in the mankind
experiment went awry. Their sexual habits were not conducive to
propagation since they were predominantly homosexual.
A virus was introduced into the population to destroy it. However, it
started to spread outside the immediate region. This disturbed the
controllers, so they sent two agents to investigate, and to determine
if anyone was salvageable. The local inhabitants called them angels,
because of their blonde hair, blue eyes, and perfect bodies.
Lot and his wife took the agents into their home to protect them,
since all the men in town wanted to have sex with them. Soon after,
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. To this day, radiation can be
detected at the site. Melted rock is seen in the canyon walls. Sodom
and Gomorrah were eliminated with a nuclear weapon.
In the early 1960s, Israeli scientist digging at the site of Sodom
found remnants of bone and body tissue encased in rock. American
scientists were called in because they had better equipment. What
they found in the preserved body tissue was a sample of the virus.
The Americans reconstituted it with living cellular nuclei. Quietly it
was tested on a terminally ill patient in a St Louis Hospital in 1967.
The man died a horrible death. The virus was called AIDS because it
removed whatever immune system the man had left. The American
research determined that this thousands-of-years-old virus was
artificially genetically created.
The ancient Hebrew religion was a conglomeration of the SumerianReptilian belief system, ancient Egyptian-Atlantean-Lyraen belief
system, and the Reptilian tribal subcultures found in the land of
Canaan that were incorporated into one acceptable dogma. It
included blood-ritual and human sacrifice, which is why Abraham
was so eager to please God by killing his own son on an altar. This
symbolism came in handy later on for religious purposes.
The Hebrew language itself did not appear until after the Hebrews
left Egypt, and then only for religious ceremonial purposes by the
priests. In fact, many of the terms and names used in the Hebrew
religion came from the Egyptian ceremonial rites. The name, Moses,
originates from the title given to adepts of the secret Egyptian
pyramid cult. This Egyptian ceremonial title, Moshe, means he who
is anointed with crocodile fat from the Nile River.
Here, we suggest Swerdlow does not deal well with the academic
evidence Moses was Akhanaton ref: Out of Egypt , House of the
Messiah , books etc. But at least he perceives correctly that the best
Hebrew rites were mostly descended from Egypt. The ongoing
conflict between Enlils Amun Ra priests, versus Akhenatons ATUN (
Enki) probably reflects the Enlil more Drac reptilian persuasion,
versus Enki the rebellious son from Sirius, pushing the possibility
that a (his?) genetic experiment here could produce a blood line
recovery from the catastrophic Nephilim DNA condition. With the
beneficial result to the advanced Dracos of new access to a blood
line that COULD resume star navigating where the big salaries are
made- because of renewed gravity making power in imploding
ignited DNA.
This ceremony was performed inside the Kings Chamber in the
Great Pyramid. In Hebrew it meant out from the water, in
reference to the crocodiles. The Egyptian word for crocodile fat was
Messeh from which the term Messiah is derived. To be anointed with
crocodile fat rendered into an oil, was to absorb powerful,
unchanging Reptilian energy and assimilate this into the body.
Moshe, or Moses, was a ritual title, not a persons name and was a
reference to the crocodile fat used in temple and pyramid
ceremonies.
A leader such as a Moses was a logical choice to spearhead a
migration of people to safety from a place of turmoil, such as when
the destruction of the island of Santorini, also known as Thera, blew
up and created havoc on Egyptian territory, causing many to flee. It
would also make sense for the Sirian controllers of Egypt to send out
their genetic creations, the Hebrews, to a place of safety in the Sinai
desert like a safekeeping until needed.
It was then that the Torah, or Holy Commandments, was given to
this people as a code by which to live. This document is in a code
that can only now be deciphered with the use of a computer. The
land of Canaan needed to be conquered in order to give
development room to the new creations. In effect, the Hebrews were
the next sequence of the experiment, and the old versions were to
be eliminated or assimilated.
The Hebrews carried the new coded laws in the Ark of the Covenant
(Coven of Ants), that only the priests could touch. When the
University of Minnesota in the 1960s attempted to build the Ark as
described with instructions in the Bible, it was so electrically
charged that it had to be dismantled! This is why the ancient
Hebrew priests entered into the Ark area alone, for safety reasons.
They also had to wear white linen, as non-conductive clothing, and
wore a special breastplate that grounded them electrically and
acted as a protective shield. The Ark was really a communication
device. This is why the priests had messages from God whenever
they were in the Arks presence.
The Ark also acted as a location device for beacons originating
outside of this planet. The Ark was originally kept in the Great
Pyramid to focalize energies. It was sent with the Hebrews for
safekeeping. It has since traveled from Egypt to Canaan/Israel to
Ethiopia, back to Israel, and now is located under the pyramid again.
However, there are actually two Arks. The second one is in
Jerusalem.
We feel this information is incomplete, in that clearly the Ark was a
fractally arranged (Orgone) capacitor whose charge compression
could contain radioactivity. And that feeding the charge of this
device is the reason it must be located on a major ley line today it
appears- precisely on the Michael line St Michaels (Enlil) Island
cave in the Azores (Assuras = assa uru)- where Jacque Cousteaus
son lost his life for getting too close.
Have you ever wondered about the origins of the star of Shelomoh
or as it is more commonly know today, the Star of Dawid? This star
which today is commonly associated with the nation of Yisral and
the Jewish people has only seen widespread use as their national
and religious symbol for the past couple of centuries. Farther back in
Jewish antiquity it was used mostly among the Cabalists and
mystics. Even further back is usage has an even more sordid history.
The Encyclopedia of Jewish Symbols, by Ellen Frankel and Betsey
Platkin Teutsch has this
to say about the history of the Star of Dawid:
Helen Blavatsky one of the more respected occultists of our time
had this to say about Shelomohs Seal: Is the association between
this hex symbol and King Shelomoh just a figment of occultists and
cabalists
imagination or is there more to this story. Does the Bible hold any
clues as to the history and origins of this
symbol? As most students of Bible history know ancient Yisral had
a problem with idolatry. It seems, according
to the Biblical narrative that astrological idolatry was an ongoing
problem. One of the 1st instances of national
Yisrals laps into idolatry was just after the Exodus from Mitsrayim.
The books of Exodus, Amos and Acts describe
the events.
The Star of Shelomoh
Although scholars have attempted to trace the Star of Dawid back to
King Dawid himself; to Rabbi
Akiva and the Bar Kokhba (son of the star) rebellion (135 C.E.); or
to *kabbalists, especially Rabbi
Isaac Luria (16th century), no Jewish literature or artifacts document
this claim. Rather, all evidence
suggests that the early use of the hexagram was limited to
practical Kabbalah, that is, Jewish magic,
probably dating back to the 6th century C.E. Legends connect this
symbol with the Seal of Shelomoh,
the magical signet *ring used by King Shelomoh to control demons
and spirits.
Shelomohs Seal. The symbolical double triangle, adopted by the
Theosophical Society and by many Theosophists.
...the pentagram is the triple triangle--the six-pointed star being the
hexalp ha (See Pentacle)... The way a triangle
points determines its meaning. If upwards, it means the male
element and divine fi re; downwards, the female and
the waters of matter; upright, but with a bar across the top, air and
astral light; downwards, with a bar--the earth or
gross matter, etc. - Theosophical Glossary
Just a few months after their miraculous departure from
Mitsrayim, Yisral made a golden calf to worship. The book of Amos
states that while Yisral appeared to be offering sacrifices to YHWH
they secretly were worshipping Moloch and Chiun. According
to the book of Amos, Moloch and Chiun were associated with a
star. The New Testament book of Acts completes the picture by
explaining the golden calf was associated with the host of
heaven.
Notice in Acts 7 the idol Remphan is associated with the
same star. The ISBE Bible Dictionary explains the reason Chiun
is used to represent the star in the Tanach while Remphan is
used in the New.
The star Chiun which national Yisral worshiped in the wilderness
was the planet Saturn and its association with the
constellation of Taurus the bull. Notice below in the occult
Talisman of Saturn you find the bull, the star, as well
as Rempha spelled out. Paul Talmidim in his History and
Practice of Magic describes this Talisman:
On the fi rst face is engraved...a pentagram or a star with
fi ve points. On the other side is engraved a bulls head enclosed in
a SIX-POINTED STAR, and surrounded by
letters composing the name REMPHA, THE PLANETARY GENIUS OF
SATURN, according to the alphabet
of the Magi. (p. 304-5)
Exodus 32:4 4 And he received them at
their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool,
after he had made it a molten calf: and they said,
These be thy Elohims, O Yisral, which brought thee up
out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Amos 5:25-26 25 Have ye offered unto
me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty
years, O house of Yisral? 26 But ye have borne the
Mikdash of your Moloch and Chiun your images,
the star of your Elohim, which ye made to yourselves.
The difference between the names Chiun and Rephan, is due either
to Rephan being local Mitsrayimian name for the planet Saturn, and
therefore used
by the Septuagint as its equivalent, or to an actual error of
transcription in the text from which they were translating: the initial
of the word being taken
as resh (r) when it should have been kaph (k), r instead of k. The
word should therefore be transliterated Kaivan, which was the name
of the planet
Saturn amongst the ancient Arabs and Syrians, while kaimanu,
constant or regular, was its name with the Assyrians. The
English Revised Version
in Am 5:26 adopts the reading of the King James Version margin,
Siccuth your king, Moloch meaning king; but the authority of the
Septuagint and
the parallelism of the text and its general line of thought support the
reading given by some of the ancient versions and followed by the
King James
Version..................The diffi culty of the passage is that both Amos
and Stephen appear to represent the worship of the golden calf as
identical with
the worship of Moloch and of the planet Saturn; yet though Kaivan is
only mentioned here, the nature of the reference would imply that
this deity was
one familiar both to speaker and hearers. The diffi culty vanishes at
once, if the plain statement of Stephen be accepted, that when
Elohim permitted
Yisral to go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might
walk in their own counsels (Ps 81:12) He gave them up to serve
the host of
heaven. The worship of the golden calf was star worship; it was the
solar bull, the constellation Taurus, in which the sun was at the time
of the spring
equinox, that was thus represented. The golden calf was therefore
analogous to the familiar symbol of the Mithraic cult, the bull slain
by Mithra, Sol
Invictus, if indeed the latter did not take its origin from this apostasy
of Yisral. ----- ISBE Bible Dictionary
Acts 7:41-42 41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered
sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the
works of their own hands. 42 Then Elohim turned, and gave them up
to worship the host of heaven; as it is written
in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Yisral, have ye offered
to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space
of forty years in the wilderness? 43 Yea, ye took up the Mikdash of
Moloch, and the star of your Elohim Remphan,
figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away
beyond Babylon.

Alexander Hislop has an interesting take on these talismans. In his
book the Two Babylons (p. 269) he
states the following:
The biblical connection between astral worship and Shelomoh
is found in I Kings 11:4-7. It seems King Shelomoh built high
places
for Chemosh and other Elohims. He partook in the Zidonian idolatry
of
Ashtoreth (Star) or star worship. Its no wonder that today Shelomoh
is revered by occultists and Cabalists. He is especially respected by
the most popular form of ancient Babylonian Idolatry which today
we
call the Masonic Lodge. Lodges are often named after Shelomohs
Hekal. Many Masonic symbols incorporate the Star of Shelomoh in
there designs. If you look closely you will see an abbreviated Star of
Shelomoh in the Compass and Square symbol that adorns all
Masonic
buildings and literature. Its especially illuminating to hear them
describe the Star of Shelomoh in their own words.
The six pointed star is used in Masonic work and is also found in
other well known secret orders. Mary Ann Slipper
(a Masonic author) --- Symbolism of the Eastern Star, 1927, on page
14]
... the six pointed star is a very ancient symbol and one of the most
powerful. The
Second Mile a book of the Eastern Star Masonic order
The hexagram was used as a stand-by for Magicians and
Alchemists. The
Sorcerers believed it represented the footprint of a special kind of
demon called a
trud, and used it in ceremonies both to call up demons and to keep
them away.

The triangle pointing downward is a female symbol corresponding
to the yoni
and the upward pointing triangle is the male, the lingam. When the
two triangles are interlaced, it represents the
union of the active and passive forces in nature; it represents the
male and female elements.Also explained in Did

These are the principal Talismans whose traditions have been
preserved for us by the most ancient monuments
of the highest magical art and by the most reliable archaeologists in
this type of research. These talismans are
recommended under the name of Teraphim by the Hebrew Qabalists
of the Middle Ages, who replace the names
of the planetary Genii of Mitsrayim by those of: Oriphiel (REMPHA),
Zachariel (Pi-Zeus), Samael (Ertosill), Michael
(Pi-Rh3), Anabel (Suroth), Raphael (Pi-Hermes) and Gabriel (Pi-Ioh).
These Cabalists add another seven
talismans to which they attribute the power of conjuring the infl
uence of seven demons who, according to their
doctrine, share with the seven planetary angels the government of
the divine creation. Against the angel of Saturn
they set the demon Nabam; against the angel of Jupiter the demon
Acham; against the angel of Mars the demon
Nambroth; against the angel of Venus the demon Lilith or Naemah;
against the angel of Mercury the demon
Astaroth or Tharthac; and against the angel of the Moon the demon
Sathan, See Judges xvii and xviii in the Bible.
The Teraphim appear to correspond to the serpent images or
seraphim. which in turn are said to
derive from the Kabeiri Assyrian divinities worshipped at Hebron
(Beni Anak). The Daimons
or male spirits of the planets are now given by esoteric students of
the Qabala as: Adonai=sun,
Evoe=Moon. Saba=Mars, Astaphoi=Mercury, Eloi=Jupiter.
Ouraioa=Venus and Ilde-baoth, or
according to the Orphites JAHWEH=SATURN.
Now, the name SATURN in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as
every Chaldee scholar knows,
consists only of four letters, thus - Stur. This name contains exactly
the Apocalyptic number.

YHWH, and went not fully after YHWH, as did Dawid

Aleister Crowley The Book of the Law
Brooch of Blavatsky
Moloch who in the Biblical texts is associated with Chiun and Saturn
is often pictured with the torso of a man
and head of a bull with arms outstretched. It was into these
outstretched arms which idolaters of the past placed their
innocent children to be burned alive. The Bible describes this
abomination as passing through the fire. The worship
of Moloch and Saturn is one of the most depraved form of idolatrous
practices. I cant but fail to see the irony in King
Shelomohs statement that there is nothing new under the sun.
For some reason our generation considers all things relative to our
own experience. Our associations and actions
seem devoid of any anchor or principle from the past. We are
arrogant in our own ignorance. The prophet Hoseas
lament concerning Yisrals ignorance is just as appropriate to our
generation today:
The apostle Paul exhorted early believers in Ephesus to have
no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. In his letter to
the
Corinthians Paul draws on the idolatrous events of the Exodus story
as an
example of things which we as believers should not associate.
I have no doubt that most Jewish and Talmidim believers in no way
associate the Star of Shelomoh with the ancient
idolatrous practices of the past. But my fear is through a lack of
knowledge of that past we condemn future generations
to the same mistakes. We in ignorance plant seeds of idolatry in the
gardens of the future. Seeds which lie dormant just
waiting for the right conditions to sprout and flourish.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to
repeat it. --- George Santayana
Ephesians 5:5-12 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor
unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath
any inheritance in the kingdom of Mashiach and of Elohim. 6 Let no
man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things
cometh
the wrath of Elohim upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye
therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness,
but
now are ye light in :: : walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of
the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10
Proving what is acceptable unto 11 .:: And have no fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of
them in secret.
Hosea 4:6 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because
thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject
thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten
the law of thy Elohim, I will also forget thy children.
I Corinthians 10:6-7 6 Now
these things were our examples, to the intent
we should not lust after evil things, as they
also lusted. 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were
some of them; as it is written, The people sat
down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
TEMPLE AT DAN
The story of Jeroboam, son of a widow of Zereda, an Ephraimite and
Shelomohs servant, begins with this passage:
Shelomoh built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of Dawid,
his
father.
And the man, Jeroboam, was a mighty man of valor; and Shelomoh,
seeing the young man that he was industrious, made him ruler over
all the charge of the house of Joseph.1
The ambitious servant was not satisfied with this honor of
administering the land of Menashe (Manasse) and Ephraim, or even
the entire northern half of the kingdom; he wished to be a king
himself. When Jeroboams plans became known to Shelomoh, the
king intended to kill him, but Jeroboam ran away to the Pharaoh of
Mitsrayim. When Shelomoh died, he returned; he tore the ten tribes
land from Rehoboam, son of Shelomoh. Shelomohs realm was split
in two: Jeroboam became king of Yisral in the north, and
Rehoboam retained the kingdom of Judah in the south. To make the
rift permanent Jeroboam had to keep the people from going to
Yerushalayim and its new temple.
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the
house of Dawid.
If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of
at
Yerushalayim, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto
their lord, even unto Rehoboam, king of Judah, and they shall kill
me, and go again to Rehoboam, king of Judah.2
From the viewpoint of serving his own ends, it was a sound idea to
build on some ancient sites places for folk gathering which would
compete with Yerushalayim.
Whereupon the king [Jeroboam] took counsel, and made two calves
of gold, and said unto [his people]. It is too much for you to go up to
Yerushalayim . . .
And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.3
Beth-El was in the south of his kingdom, close to Yerushalayim, Dan
in the north of his kingdom. In order to attract pilgrims from the land
of Judah, Jeroboam also made Beth-El the site of a new feast, like
unto the feast that is in Judah.4 Setting up the image of the cult in
Dan, Jeroboam proclaimed: Behold thy Elohims, O Yisral, that
brought thee up out of the land of Mitsrayim.5 Thus, Dan in the
north competed with Yerushalayim in the days of Passover and
Mikdashs. Temple of Dan was a much larger edifice than Temple in
Bethel, and it became a great place for pilgrimage, attracting people
even from the southern kingdom.
And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before
the one [of the two calves], even unto Dan.6
Temple of Dan was called a House of High Places : And he made
an house of high places . . . 7 Temple of Yerushalayim was also
called a House in Hebrew.
For centuries Temple of Dan in the north successfully contested with
Temple of Yerushalayim, and attracted throngs of pilgrims.
Jeroboam, the man who supervised under Shelomoh the building of
Millo, the fortress of Zion with its strong wall, and who, in
recognition of his ability demonstrated in this work, was appointed
governor of the northern provinces, now, when king, must have
desired to erect in Dan a temple surpassing the magnificent Temple
of Shelomoh in Yerushalayim. Only in offering a more imposing
building could he hope not only to turn the people from going to
Yerushalayim, but make the people of Judah elect a pilgrimage to
Dan over one to Yerushalayim. Meanwhile, Jeroboam had seen
Temples and palaces of Mitsrayim, and his ambition was, of course,
to imitate all the splendor he had seen in Yerushalayim, in Karnak,
and in Deir el-Bahari. Or would this mighty man of valor,
industrious constructor of Zions citadel, and a shrewd politician, try
to contest Temple of Yerushalayim by means of an ignoble chapel?
That he succeeded in his challenge is a testimony to the size and
importance of Temple at Dan.
It was not enough that Dan and Beth-El were ancient places of
reverence: magnificence was displayed in the capital of Shelomoh,
and magnificence had to prevail in Temple cities of the Northern
Kingdom.
Temple of Beth-El, the smaller of the two Yisralite temples, was
demolished three centuries later by King Josiah, a few decades
before Temple of Yerushalayim was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. It
was trampled into smithereens by the king, jealous for his
Elohim.8 There is no mention of a destruction of Temple in Dan.
Where was Dan and its House of High Places ?
THE SEARCH FOR DAN
Dan was the northernmost point of the Yisralite settlement where
one of the twelve tribes chose its domicile. A familiar expression
was: From Dan even to Beer-Sheba. 9
Students of biblical geography have agreed to place Dan in the Arab
village of el-Kadi, on the upper flow of the Jordan, which is there but
a rivulet. In recent years very insignificant ancient ruins have been
found on this place.10 This is in accord with what the biblical
archaeologists expect, for they think Temple of Dan to have been a
very modest structure of which, most probably, hardly any ruins
would have remained.
The biblical Dan is placed on the upper flow of the Jordan because of
a passage in Josephus Flavius. In his Jewish Antiquities, Josephus
says that Dan was on a spot not far from Mount Libanus and the
sources of the lesser Jordan.11 Commentators of Josephus deduced
that by the lesser Jordan the upper flow of the Jordan, above the
Lake of Huleh, or above the Lake of Tiberias, is meant; however, this
interpretation is not supported by the words not far from Mount
Libanus since, from the surroundings of el-Kadi and the sources of
the Jordan, the snow-capped Hermon or Anti-Lebanon can be seen in
the distance, but not Lebanon, far behind the Anti-Lebanon.
After having chosen the source of the Jordan as the area where to
look for Dan, this ancient city was located at el-Kadi for the following
reason: the name Dan is built of the Hebrew root that signifies to
counsel or to judge. El-Kadi means in Arabic the judge. There
was no other reason, beside this philological equation of Hebrew
and Arabic terms, to locate the site of the ancient temple city in the
small village of el-Kadi, sinceuntil quite recentlyno ruins, large or
small, were found on the site.
The aforementioned reference in Josephus makes one wonder
whether by the lesser Jordan the river Litani was meant. This river
begins in the valley between Mount Lebanon and Mount AntiLebanon, flows to the south in the same rift in which farther to the
south the Jordan flows, and towards the source of that river, but
changes its course and flows then westwards and empties itself into
the Mediterranean. Its source being near Mount Lebanon, it appears
that the Litani was meant by the lesser Jordan.
However, Josephus, who wrote in the first century of the
Mashiachian era, was not necessarily well-informed concerning the
location of Dan - Temple city of the Northern Kingdom - a state
whose history ended with the capture of Samaria by Sargon II in
-722.12
Therefore, it is only proper to go back to the Scriptures in trying to
locate Dan.
THE PORTION OF THE CHILDREN OF DAN
When the Yisralites, after the Exodus from Mitsrayim, roamed in
the wilderness, they sent scouts to Canaan to investigate the land
and to report. The scouts passed the land through its length from
the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to
Hamath.13 These were also destined to be the southern and
northern borders of the land: Your south quarter shall be from the
wilderness of Zin and in the north your border [shall be] unto the
entrance of Hamath.14
The expressions as men come to Hamath, or unto the entrance of
Hamath signify that Rehob, the northern point of the land visited by
the scouts, was at a place where the road began that led to the city
of Hamath in Syria.
In the days of conquest under Joshua son of Nun, when the land was
partitioned by lot, the tribe of Dan received its portion in the hilly
country on the road from Yerushalayim to Jaffa. The tribe was
opposed by the Philistines, also invading the same country. When
the population of Philistia increased through the arrival of new
immigrants from the Mediterranean islands, the tribe of Dan, being
the advance guard of the Yisralites, had to suffer not mere
resistance, but strong counter-pressure. The Samson saga reflects
this struggle. Tired of continuously opposing the increasing influx of
the Philistines, the Danites migrated to the north.
They . . . came unto Laish, unto a people who were quiet and
secure; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and
burned the city with fire.
And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they
had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by
Beth-Rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
And they called the name of the city Dan . . . howbeit, the name of
the city was Laish at the first.15
Here we meet again the northern point Rehob or Beth-Rehob. We
are also told that it was situated in a valley. Next to it was the city of
Laish, and the Danites burned the city and then erected there a new
city, Dan.
Beth-Rehob, or House of Rehob, is the place we metin the story of
the scouts sent by Moshehas the most remote point they visited
going to the north.
The place was far from Zidon ; if it were where it is looked for
todayat the source of the Jordanit would not have been proper
to say far from Zidon. but rather from Tyre. But if Zidon (Sidon)
is named as the nearest large city. Tyre must have been still farther
from Laish-Dan, and the latter city must have been more to the
north, in the valley between Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon.
The Danites were in contact with the Zidonians already at the time
when they fought with the Philistines for the possession of territory.
Because of want of land, they sent many of their sons as sailors on
Phoenician ships.16 In their new place of abode the Danites became
kindred with the Phoenicians.
In Dan-Laish, the children of Dan set up the graven image of
Micah.17The story of this holy image is connected with the
migration of the Danites to the north. Before migrating they sent a
few men to find for them an inheritance to dwell in.18 These men
traversed, on their errand, the mountainous land of Ephraim. Micah
was an Ephraimite who built a private chapel in Mount Ephraim,
where he placed a graven image and a molten image, and hired a
Levite to serve there as a priest.19 The men of Dan, dispatched on
the errand to find a new domicile for the tribe, heard an oracle from
the priest. After having spied the place of Laish, they returned to
their tribe that dwelt in the hilly borderland of Zarah, and with six
hundred warriors went to the north. Passing again Mount Ephraim,
they took with them the image and the priest, despite the bitter
protests of Micah. When they conquered Laish the children of Dan
set up the graven image.20 Since then, there was an oracle in Dan.
The name Dan-jaan, found in the Scriptures,21 is apparently a
synonym for Dan: it means Dan of answer, or of oracle.
Dan became the site of Temple built by Jeroboam. It was a Hekal
long before he built his temple there, since the story of the oracle of
Micah is conspicuously narrated in the Book of Judges; it is rather
probable that Rehob was a sacred place even before the Danites
built their city on the ruins of Laish close by.
It cannot be said of the present village of el-Kadi that it lies on the
road as men come to Hamath ; to satisfy this description, Rehob
must be looked for farther to the north.
THE SUCCESSORS OF JEROBOAM
Being located in an outstretched part of the Yisralite kingdom, Dan
was often the subject of wars between the kings of Damascus and of
Yisral. Shortly after the death of Jeroboam, Temple city was
conquered by the king of Damascus.22 It appears that, at the time
of the revolution of Jehu, three generations later, in the ninth
century, Dan was still in the hands of the kings of Damascus; but it
is said that Jehu, who destroyed Temple of Baal in Samaria, did not
destroy Temple of Dan, nor did he abolish its cult, the sin of
Jeroboam. This implies that Dan came back into the hands of the
Yisralites in the days of Jehu. In any case, the population of the
northern kingdom -that of Yisralbut also of the southern kingdom
- that of Judah-continued to go to Dan on the feasts of Passover and
Mikdashs, preferring it to Yerushalayim.
Jehu, jealous of the Elohim , did nothing to keep the people from
going to Dan, and obviously even encouraged them to do so; the
cult of Dan was one of , though in the guise of a calf, or Apis.
In the eighth century the prophet Amos, one of the earliest prophets
whose speeches are preserved in writing, spoke of the worship at
Dan:
They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy Elohim, O Dan
liveth; and, The manner of Beer-Sheba liveth; even they shall fall,
and never rise up again.23
For a time Amos prophesied at Beth-El, the other sacred site of the
Northern Kingdom. In his time the place had a royal chapel; and in
view of the statement that, of the two places where Jeroboam
placed the calves, the people went to worship in Dan,24 apparently
the chapel of Beth-El remained a minor sacrarium and did not
attract many worshippers.
Hosanna, another prophet who lived in the eighth century,
admonished: Let not Judah offend . . . neither go yea up to
Beethoven. 25 He prophesied also that the inhabitants of Samaria
shall fear because of the calves of Beethoven, and that the glory of
that place will depart from it.26
It is generally agreed that Hosea, speaking of Beth-Aven (the House
of Sin ), referred to Beth-El This is supported by the verse in the
Book of Joshua which tells: And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai,
which is beside Beth-Aven, on the east side of Beth-El 27
It appears that the name Beth-Aven, or The House of Sin was
applied to both places where Jeroboam built temples for the worship
of the calf. It is possible that, in another verse of his, Hosea had in
mind Temple of Dan; he said: The high places also of Aven, the sin
of Yisral, shall be destroyed . . . 28
The sin of Yisral is the usual term for the cult of Dan; and the
high places, according to the quoted story of Jeroboam placing
calves in Dan and Beth-El,29 were built in Dan.
At the beginning of the Book of Amos, the following sentence
appears: I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the
inhabitant from the plain of Aven (mebikat Aven) . . . and the
people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir . . .30
I shall return later to this passage and to the accepted interpretation
of the plain of Aven.
During the wars of the eighth century, Temple city of Dan may have
taken part in the struggle of the Northern Kingdom for its existence,
being oppressed first by Syria, and then by Assyria. Dan may have
been besieged, and may have changed hands during these wars,
but nothing is known of its destruction.
In the latter part of the eighth century the population of the
Northern Kingdom was deported by Sargon II to remote countries,
from where it did not return. More than a century later Jeremiah
referred to the oracle of Dan: For a voice declareth from
Dan,31 which shows that the oracle of Dan was still in existence
after the end of the Northern Kingdom.
An oracle venerated since ancient times, a magnificent temple
where the image of a calf was worshipped, a place where the tribes
of Yisral gathered in the days of the feasts, and the people ofJudea
used to come, toothis was the cult.
On the way to Hamath, on the northern frontier of the Northern
Kingdom, closer to Zidon (Sidon) than to Tyre, and strategically
exposed to Damascusthis was the place. Would no ruins help to
identify the site?
BAALBEK
In the valley that gives birth to two rivers of Syriathe Orontes
flowing to the north, and the Litani flowing to the south and west,
between the mountains of Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon, where roads
from Palestine in the south, Damascus in the east, and the sea-coast
on the west meet and run from there to Hamath in Upper Syrialie
the ruins of Baalbek.
When we compare the ruins of Baalbek with those of many ancient
cities which we visited in Italy, Greece, Mitsrayim, and in other parts
of Asia (and Africa), we cannot help thinking them to be the remains
of the boldest plan we ever saw attempted in architecture. Is it not
strange then, that the age and the undertaker of the works, in which
solidity and duration have been so remarkably consulted, should be
a matter of such obscurity. . .?32
From the time when this was first written, in the fifties of the
eighteenth century, and till today, nothing was added to dispel the
obscurity which envelops the origin of this temple city.33 The
excavations undertaken there brought no solution to the problem of
its origin or the nature of its cult.34 No early inscriptions were
found.
Throngs of travelers who spend their day wandering among the
ruins of a magnificent acropolis go away without having heard what
the role of the place was in ancient times, when it was built, or who
was the builder. The pyramids, Temples of Kamak and Luxor, the
Forum and Circus Maximus in Rome were erected by builders whose
identity is generally known. The marvellous site in the valley on the
junction of roads running to Hamath is a work of anonymous authors
in unknown ages. It is as if some mysterious people brought the
mighty blocks and placed them at the feet and in front of the snowcapped Lebanon, and went away unnoticed. The inhabitants of the
place actually believe that the great stones were brought and put
together by Djenoun, mysterious creatures, intermediate between
angels and demons.35
SHELOMOHS BAALBEK
Local tradition, which may be traced to the early Middle Ages, points
to a definite period in the past when Baalbek was built: the time of
Shelomoh.
Ildrisi, the Arab traveler and geographer (1099-1154), wrote: The
great (temple-city) of astonishing appearance was built in the time
of Shelomoh. 36 Gazwini (d. 1823 or 4) explained the origin of the
edifices and the name of the place by connecting it with Balkis, the
legendary Queen of the South, and with Shelomoh.37
The traveler Benjamin of Tudela wrote in the year 1160 of his visit to
Baalbek: This is the city which is mentioned in Scripture as Baalath
in the vicinity of the Lebanon, which Shelomoh built for the daughter
of Pharaoh. The place is constructed with stones of enormous
size. 38
Robert Wood, who stayed at Baalbek in the 1750s, and who
published an unsurpassed monograph on its ruins, wrote: The
inhabitants of this country, Mohomedans, Jews and Mashiachians, all
confidently believe that Shelomoh built both, Palmyra and
Baalbek. 39 Another traveler who visited Syria in the eighties of the
eighteenth century recorded: The inhabitants of Baalbek assert that
this edifice was constructed by Djenoun, or genies in the service of
King Shelomoh. 40
ON - AVEN
The identification of Bikat Aven, referred to in Amos 1:5 with the
plain of Coele-Syria is generally accepted.41 The text, already
quoted, reads: I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the
inhabitant from the plain of Aven . . .
The Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Bible by the Seventy,
renders the above text as the valley of On, written the same as On
(or Heliopolis) in Mitsrayim. The Hebrew spellings of Aven and On do
not differ in consonants; and vocals were inserted in the texts by the
Masoretes in a late period. On is the Hebrew name of Heliopolis in
Mitsrayim, pronounced also as Aven, as in Ezekiel 30:17; Bikat Aven
is the name of the plain of Baalbek in Amos. Tradition has it also that
the cult of
Mitsrayim.42
Baalbek
was
brought
there
from
Heliopolis
in
Hosea, however, called by the name of Aven (Beth-Aven) the cities
of Bethel and Dan;43 and he spoke of high places there, and in
the instance where he referred to the sin of Yisral he obviously
meant Dan.44
Amos, who in the eighth chapter speaks against the worshippers at
Dan, in chapter one speaks against the plain of Avenand thus,
comparing Hosea and Amos, one wonders whether Amos 1:5 speaks
of Baalbek or of Dan.
The expression Bikat Aven, or the Valley (Plain) of Aven in Amos
impelled the exegetes and commentators to refer the place to
Coele-Syria, and this because Biqa is the specific name of the
Coele-Syrian plainstill in use today. The very name Baalbek is
generally explained as the Baal of Biqa or Bekaaof the valley.
Baalbek is situated in the valley between Lebanon and Hermon. Of
Dan it is also said that it was situated in a valley:
. . . And it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-Rehob. And they built
a city, and dwelt therein. 45
BAALATH, BAAL GAD, BAAL ZAPHON, BAAL MELECH
Is Baalbek the Scriptural Baalath, as Benjamin of Tudela thought?
About Baalath it is said: And Shelomoh built . . . Baalath, and
Tadmor in the wilderness. 46 Tadmor is Palmyra, far to the
northeast of Baalbek. Baalath is said to have belonged to the tribe
of Dan.47
Or, is Baalbek the Scriptural Baal Gad? deliberated a few
scholars.48 It is said: Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under
mount Hermon. 49 In the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon
lies Baalbek. If this identification is correct then Baalbek was inside
the Yisralite kingdom. However, against this supposition of Baal
Gad in the valley of Lebanon it was argued that the Yisralite
kingdom never embraced the area of Coele-Syria, or the valley
between Lebanon and Hermon (Anti-Lebanon).50
Some writers would regard Baalath and Baal Gad as two names of
one place and would locate it at Baalbek.51
If Shelomoh built in Palmyra in the desert between Syria and
Mesopotamia, the region of Coele-Syria between Lebanon and
Hermon could certainly be in the area of his building activity, argued
these scholars. But placing Baal Gad in Coele-Syria, where would
they place Dan, the northernmost point of the Kingdom of Yisral?
To keep Dan in Galilee and to place Baal Gad, an Yisralite city, one
hundred fifty kilometers farther to the north will not stand up
against the indisputable fact that Dan was the northernmost city in
Yisral.
Some scholars, looking for Baalbek in the Scriptures, identified it
with Baal-Hamon, referred to in the Song of Songs.52 And again,
Baal Hamon is supposed to be another name for Baalath and Baal
Gad.53
Also Baal Zaphon, or Zeus Cassius, was proposed as Baalbek.54 In
this connection it can be said that, according to the Talmud, Gad
was the name of the planet Jupiter;55 and Zeus Cassius signifies
Jupiter of Lebanon; and Hamon was supposed to be a Syrian form of
the name Amon56 who, according to the Greek authors, was ZeusJupiter.57
All this together, if correct, points toward the cult of Jupiter in
Baalbek, a matter to which we shall return in one of the next
sections.
Besides Baal Gad, Baal Zaphon or Zeus Cassius, Baal Hamon, and
Baalath, one more name is identified as Baalbek: Baalmelech, or
the royal Baal.58
THE TRILITHON
Already in the last century it was observed that the Acropolis of
Baalbek and Temples built on it date from different epochs. The
massive substratumthe great base of the acropolisappears to be
of an earlier date; the three temples on the substratum, of a later
date.
It is even probable that the wall of the acropolis did not originate in
one epoch. Among the stones of which it is built there are three of
an unusual sizealmost twenty meters long. Each of them weighs
about one thousand tons. These huge monoliths are incased in the
wall. The question arises whether they are not the survivals of the
original cyclopean structurethat which carried the name Rehob, or
Beth-Rehob, and which served as a landmark for the scouts
dispatched by Mosheh in their survey of Canaan, and for the
emissaries of the tribe of Dan in their search for the territory in the
north. Like Stonehenge in Great Britain, or Tiahuanaco in the Andes,
it may have originated in an early timenot necessarily neolithic,
since it appears that these stones are subjected to hewing by metal
tools.
In the quarry a mile away is found another stone of comparable size,
cut out of the rock from all but one side; it appears that this stone of
more perfect cut was quarried in a later time, possibly in the days of
Jeroboam, or even later; but, for probably mechanical
considerations, the work was not finished and the stone not
removed, and the emulation of the early builders not completed.59
In another place I intend to return to the problem of the Trilithon of
Baalbek, when treating cyclopean buildings and the mechanical
means of quarrying and transporting these monoliths.
THE EMBOSSED QUADERS
Aside from the incased trilithon, the attention of the visitor to
Baalbek who inspects the wall of the acropolis is drawn to stones of
a bossed shape with an indented rim on all four sides of the face of
the stone.
O. von Richter in 182260 and S. Wolcott in 184361 drew attention to
the fact that the quaders of the wall of Temple area of the acropolis
of Baalbek have the same form as the quaders of Temple of
Shelomoh, namely, of the surviving western (outer) wall, or Wailing
Wall. The Roman architects, wrote Wolcott, never built foundations
or walls of such stones; and of the Yisralite period it is especially
the age of Shelomoh that shows this type of stone shaping
(chiseling). The photograph of the outer wall of Baalbeks temple
area illustrates that the same art of chiseling was employed in the
preparation of stones for its construction. Whatever the time of
construction of other parts of Baalbeks compoundneolithic,
Yisralite, Syrian, Greek, or Romanthis fundamental part of the
compound must have originated in the same century as the
surviving (western) wall of the area of Shelomohs temple.
TEMPLES OF THE ACROPOLIS
The buildings on the flat plateau of the Acropolis have columns with
capitals of Corinthian style. The time of the origin of these temples
is disputed. An author of the last century62 brought forth his
arguments against a late date for temples atop the acropolis; he
would not agree to ascribe them to the Roman period, or Greek
period; he dated them as originating in an early Syrian period: the
Romans only renovated these buildings in the second century of the
present era.
The opinions of scholars are divided over whether these buildings
can be ascribed to Roman times, though the source of the designs
on the doorways and the ceiling and in the capitals of the columns
speak for a Roman origin. When the Roman authorship of the
buildings is denied, the Romans are credited only with renovating
the structures.
The Emperor who is sometimes said to have built the largest of
Temples in Temple areathat of Jupiteris Aelius Antoninus Pius
(138-161). The source of this information is the history of John of
Antioch, surnamed Malalas, who lived not earlier than in the seventh
century of this era, and wrote that Antoninus Pius built a temple for
Jupiter at Heliopolis, near the Lebanon in Phoenicia, which was one
of the wonders of the world.63
Julius Capitolinus, who wrote the annals of Antoninus Pius and
enumerated the buildings he erected, offers no material support for
the assertion made by the Syrian writer of the early Middle Ages.
Though Antoninus Pius did build in Baalbek, as is evidenced by his
inscriptions found there,64 his activity was restricted to reparation
of Temples or the construction of one of the edifices in Temple
area.65 The work in its entirety could not have been his because
Lucian, his contemporary, calls the sanctuary of Baalbek already
ancient, and because Pompey had already found it in existence and
Trajan consulted its oracle.
The style of Temples caused the same divergence of opinion as the
style of the surviving ruins of Palmyra. Some regard them as
Roman,66others as Hellenistic and Oriental.67 They are sometimes
called East-Roman.68 In the case that only the ornamentation is of
the Roman period the question may arise whether the walls and the
columns of these buildings could be of as early a period as the
seventh century before the present era, or the time of Manasseh, of
whom Pseudo-Hippolytus says that he reconstructed Baalbek, built
originally in the time of Shelomoh.69
THE CALF
It was almost a common feature in all places where pilgrims
gathered to worship at a local cult that diminutive images of the
deity were offered for sale to them. Also small figures of the Elohim
or of his emblem in precious or semi-precious metals were brought
by worshippers as a donation to Temple where the large scale figure
had its domicile.
In Baalbek archaeological work produced very few sacred objects or
figures that could shed light on the worship of the local Elohim. It
was a disappointment, next to the brilliant success of so rich an
excavation, that nothing was learned of the nature of the deity and
the history of its worship. 70
Figures of Jupiter Heliopolitanus standing between two bullocks or
calves have been found at Baalbek, dating from Roman times.71 In
addition, an image of a calf was also found.
The only figure of an earlier time found in Baalbek is an image of a
calf. Since it is to be expected that images found in an ancient
temple are reproductions of the main deity worshipped in the holy
enclosure, it is significant that the holy image in Temple of Baalbek
was that of a calf, and of no other animal.
The name Baal-Bek (Baal-Biqa) is sometimes transmitted by Arab
authors as Baal bikra, or Baal of the Steer or Calf, which is the way
of folk etymology to adapt the name to the form of the worship
practiced in Temple. This, together with the finding of the images of
the calf in the area of Temple, strengthens the impression that the
Elohim of Baalbek was a calf.
THE ORACLE OF BAALBEK
Baalbek or, as the Romans called it, Heliopolis, was venerated in the
Roman world as the place of an old cult of an ancient oracle, and it
rivalled successfully other venerated temples of the Roman Empire.
It is known that the Emperor Trajan, before going to war against the
Parthians in the year 115, wrote to the priests of Baalbek and
questioned its oracle. The oracle remained in high esteem at least
as late as the fourth century of the present era, when Macrobius in
hisSaturnalia wrote of Baalbek: This temple is also famous for its
oracles. 72
Was it the ancient oracle of Micah? In the words of Jeremiah, shortly
before the Babylonian exile of -586 in which he spoke of a voice . . .
from Dan,73 we had the last biblical reference to the oracle of
Micah. In the days of Jeremiah the oracle must have been seven or
eight hundred years old. Did it survive until the days of Trajan and
even later, until the days of Macrobius?
In the Tractate Pesahim of the Babylonian Talmud is written the
following sentence: The image of Micah stands in Bechi. 74 Bechi
is known as the Hebrew name for Baalbek in the time of the Talmud.
As we have seen, in the Book of Exodus it is recounted that the
Danites, migrating to the North, took with them Micah and his idol,
and that it was placed in Dan of the North. The Talmud was
composed between the second and the fifth centuries of the present
era.
This passage in the Tractate Pesahim is a stong argument for the
thesis of this essay, namely that Baalbek is the ancient Dan.75
TWO PROBLEMS: A SUMMARY
The problems will be put side by side. Dan was the abode of the old
oracle of Micah. Jeroboam built there a house of high places, or a
temple. Previously, he was the builder of Yerushalayims wall under
Shelomoh; before becoming king of the Northern Kingdom he lived
as an exile in Mitsrayim. He introduced the cult of the calf in Dan.
The new temple was built to contest and to surpass Temple of
Yerushalayim. It became the gathering place of the Ten Tribes, or
the sin of Yisral, and pilgrims from Judah also went there.
The prophets, who opposed the cult of Dan, called the place Aven,
like Aven, or On (Heliopolis) in Mitsrayim.
Its oracle was still active in the days of Jeremiah, in the beginning of
the sixth century.
Dan was the northernmost city of the Kingdom of the Ten Tribes, and
the capital of the tribe of Dan. It was situated in a valley. If Baal Gad,
between the Lebanon and the Anti-Lebanon was not the same place,
Dan must have been more to the north.
The place was at the point where the roads meet that run toward
Hamath.
No ruins of this temple-city are found. Where was Dan and its
temple?
***
Remains of a great temple-city are preserved in Baalbek. At the
beginning of the present era it was described as already ancient. It
bore the name of Heliopolis, like the Mitsrayimian On, or Aven
(Ezekiel); and Amos, who spoke against the worshippers at Dan,
prophesied the desolation of Bikat-Aven, or the Valley of Baalbek.
Its cult was introduced from Mitsrayim. During excavations, the
figure of a calf was unearthed.
Temple possessed an old oracle. The Talmud contains the
information that the oracle of Micah (which according to the Book of
Judges was in Dan) stands in Baalbek.
Local tradition assigns the building of Temple of Baalbek to the time
of Shelomoh. The wall of Temple area is built of great stone blocks of
the same peculiar shape as those of the Wailing Wall in
Yerushalayim, the remains of the outer wall of Temple area erected
by Shelomoh.
Baalbek lies in a valley (Biqa) between the Lebanon and the AntiLebanon, and on the junction of the roads that connect Beirut from
the west and Damascus from the east with Hamath in the north.
The history of Temple-city of Baalbek in pre-Roman times is not
known, neither is its builder known, nor the time when it was built.
***
Two problemswhen was Baalbek built and who was its builder, and
where was Dan and what was the fate of its templehave a
common answer.
The tradition as to the age of the acropolis and temple area of
Baalbek is not wrong. Only a few years after Shelomohs death the
house of the high places of Dan-Baalbek was built by Jeroboam.*
Possibly, Shelomoh had already built a chapel for the oracle, besides
the palace for his Mitsrayimian wife.
The Djenoun who, according to Arab tradition, built Baalbek for
Shelomoh were apparently the tribesmen of Dan. In the Hebrew
tradition, too, the tribesmen of Dan, because of the type of worship
in their capital, were regarded as evil spirits. In the corrupted name
of Delebore, who, according to Macrobius, was the king who built
Baalbek and introduced there the cult of Heliopolis from Mitsrayim,
it is possible to recognize the name of Jeroboam who actually
returned from Mitsrayim before he built the house of the high
places.
***
EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT:
Velikovskys essay on Baalbek was planned to include a discussion
of the names by which this place was known in Mitsrayimian texts.
This part was not written, but a few notes of his, scattered among
his papers, may help us to follow his reasoning. One note reads:
Dunip (Tunip) of the el-Amarna letters and other ancient sources
was Dan. It was also Kadesh of Setis conquest. Finally, the place is
known as Yenoam (Yahwe speaks) which refers to the oracle.
Tunip: As Velikovsky noted in From the End of the Eighteenth
Dynasty to the Time of Ramses II (KRONOS III.:3, p. 32) certain
scholars (e.g., Gauthier) have identified Tunip with Baalbek, though
others (e.g., Astour) have disputed the link. Thutmose III recorded
the capture of Tunip in the 29th year of his reign; an inscription
recounts the Mitsrayimian kings entering the chamber of offerings
and making sacrifices of oxen, calves, etc. toAmon and Harmachis.
The el-Amarna letters indicate that the same Elohims were
worshipped at Tunip as in Mitsrayim.
On the walls of a Theban tomb of the time of Thutmose III (that of
Menkheperre-Seneb), among paintings of foreigners of various
nations, there is one of a personage from Tunip, carrying a child in
his arms. Velikovsky thought that, possibly, it was a depletion of
Jeroboam, and that the painting illustrated the passage in the First
Book of Kings (II :40): And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Mitsrayim,
unto Shishak, king of Mitsrayim. . .
Among the considerations which led Velikovsky to identify Tunip
with Dan-Baalbek were (1) Tunip was located in the general area of
Baalbek, with some scholars asserting that the two were one and
the same. (2) There was a temple of Amon at Tunip; the Roman
equivalent of Amon - Jupiter - was worshipped at Baalbek.
Kadesh of Setis Conquest: This identification was given in brief
in Velikovskys article in KRONOS III:3, mentioned above. The
relevant passage reads: There is a mural that shows Seti capturing
a city called Kadesh. Modern scholars recognized that this Kadesh or
Temple City was not the Kadesh mentioned in the annals of
Thutmose. Whereas the Kadesh of Thutmose was in southern
Palestine, the Kadesh of Seti was in Coele-Syria. The position of the
northern city suggested that it was Dunip, the site of an Amon
temple built in the days of Thutmose III. Dunip, in its turn, was
identified with Baalbek.
Pseudo-Hippolytus (Sermo in Sancta Theophania in J. -P. Migne,
Patrologiae Cursus Completus [Graeca] Vol. 10, col. 705) gives the
information that Manasseh, son of Hezekiah, restored Baalbek. In
his forthcoming Assyrian Conquest, Velikovsky suggests that this
could have been a reward for Manasseh for his loyalty to the
Assyrian-Mitsrayimian axis.
Yenoam: Regarding Yenoam, I find only the following among
Velikovskys notes: Yenoam-Dan (Yehu probably introduced the cult
of Yahwe at Dan). Yenoam, read in Hebrew, could be interpreted as
Ye [Yahwe] speaks; Velikovsky evidently saw in the name a
reference to the oracle at Dan. Yenoam is mentioned among the
towns taken by Thutmose III (he captured it soon after taking
Megiddoj. In the el-Amarna letter no. 197 there is a reference to a
town named Yanuammu. Later, Seti recorded the despatching of an
army against Yenoam, in the first year ofhis reign. Yenoam is once
again mentioned on Merneptahs so-called Yisral Stele; the claim
is that it was made non-existent. In Ramses II and His Time this
deed is ascribed to Nebuchadnezzar.
