PROGRAM OF GOD

Old Testament Period: God made an everlasting covenant with David through his son, Solomon. God established a covenant with Israel for 70 weeks (of years); of these, 69 weeks (of years) have been fulfilled.

Tribulation/Great Tribulation: God's covenanted 70th week (7 years) of dealings with Israel will resume culminating in the return of Jesus Christ.

The Millennium: Jesus Christ will fulfill the promise of a new covenant with Israel after He returns and builds the Temple.

PROGRAM OF SATANIC DUPLICATION

Old Testament: King Solomon made a covenant of peace with Hiram, King of Tyre.

Church Age: False teachers claim that Daniel's 70th week has already been fulfilled or partially fulfilled (1st 3.5 years). A Roman prince, the Roman Catholic pope or his top diplomat, will confirm the covenant with Israel during the Tribulation period. 

Tribulation: The Roman prince (Pope Francis?) will confirm God's 70-week covenant with Israel, claiming that 3.5 years have already been fulfilled and only 3.5. years remain.

Great Tribulation: The Roman prince will remove the Temple sacrifice, claiming the end of Daniel's 70th week; the Antichrist will destroy the Roman prince, claim to be the messiah and do violence to God's covenant with Israel.

PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS   

    PROGRAM OF GOD

OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime, And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. - 2 Samuel 7:10-16

Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. - 2 Samuel 23:5

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Daniel 9:24-27

TRIBULATION / GREAT TRIBULATION

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Dan. 9:27

THE MILLENNIUM

...blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: for this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. - Ro.11:25-26

And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. - Hosea 2:18-20

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them...and I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them forever. - Ezek.37:26

Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. - Zech. 6:13

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

UPDATE: “THE PRINCE OF THE COVENANT”

 

Daniel 9:26-27 reveals that a future prince, of the nationality of the Romans who destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D., will confirm the Davidic Covenant when God resumes his dealings with national Israel, the 70th week of Daniel or Tribulation period.

 

...and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Dan. 9:26-27

 

And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. - Dan. 11:21-22

 

On March 13, 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis, replacing Pope Benedict XVI who retired. Pope Francis possesses many qualifications of the Roman Prince who will confirm the covenant with Israel for 7 years according to Daniel 9:26-27.  He is of Italian parentage, a Jesuit (Jewish marrano?), a leader of the interfaith and ecumenical dialogue movement, and has intimate ties with prominent Jewish leaders and organizations. Alternatively, Pope Francis' newly appointed Secretary of State, Archbishop Pietro Parolin, also of Italian parentage, is more qualified than Pope Francis to fulfill the role of the Roman "prince of the covenant" who will "confirm the covenant" with Israel.

 

OLD TESTAMENT

...and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together. - I Kings 5:12

        CHURCH AGE

"On Dec. 30, 1993, the Fundamental Agreement between the Holy See and Israel was signed. It paved the way for diplomatic relations... There is a chance to open up a new era in Christian-Jewish relations; the next pope will not go back on that." - 212:125-6

"We trust that with the approach of the year 2000, Jerusalem will become the city of peace for the entire world and all the people will be able to meet there, in particular the believers in the religions that find their birthright in the faith of Abraham." - 72:83, quoting Pope John Paul II, Parade Magazine, 4/3/94

    "(Cardinal) Martini, meanwhile, has often expressed his desire to go to Jerusalem when he reaches 75 in February 2002. The latest confirmation came Sept. 8, when he presented his pastoral letter for 2001/2002 to the press.
    "'I have never made a mystery to the pope of my desire to retire to Jerusalem to dedicate myself to prayer and to the study of codexes and manuscripts,' said Martini, a noted Biblical scholar." - 444

"Francis (Latin: Franciscus, Spanish: Francisco, Italian: Francesco) born Jorge Mario Bergoglio; 17 December 1936) is the 266th and current pope of the Catholic Church, a position also holding the roles of Sovereign of Vatican City and the Bishop of Rome."  (Wikipedia: Pope Francis)

 

"His full title, rarely used, is: His Holiness Francis, Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Servant of the servants of God." (Wikipedia: Pope Francis)

Born in Buenos Aires as the son of Italian parents, Bergoglio worked briefly as a chemical technician before entering seminary... Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born in Flores, a barrio of Buenos Aires. He was the eldest of five children of Mario José Bergoglio, an Italian immigrant accountant[9] born in Portacomaro (Province of Asti) in Italy's Piedmont region, and his wife Regina María Sívori, a housewife born in Buenos Aires to a family of northern Italian (Piedmontese-Genoese) origin. Bergoglio's sister María Elena told reporters decades later that their father often said that 'the advent of fascism was the reason that really pushed him to leave' Italy."  (Wikipedia: Pope Francis)

"He was ordained a priest in 1969. From 1973 to 1979 he was Argentina's Provincial superior of the Society of Jesus. He became Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, and a cardinal in 2001... Francis is the first Jesuit pope, the first pope from the Americas, and the first from the Southern Hemisphere."

 

“The following information is going to be a ‘shock’ to all Roman Catholics. In 1491 San Ignacio De Loyola was born in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa, Spain. His parents were Marranos and at the time of his birth the family was very wealthy. As a young man he became a member of the Jewish Illuminati Order in Spain. As a cover for his crypto Jewish activities, he became very active as a Roman Catholic. On May 20, 1521 Ignatius (as he was now called) was wounded in a battle, and became a semi-cripple. Unable to succeed in the military and political arena, he started a quest for holiness and eventually ended up in Paris where he studied for the priesthood. In 1539 he had moved to Rome where he founded the ‘Jesuit Order,’ which was to become the most vile, bloody and persecuting order in the Roman Catholic Church. In 1540, the current Pope Paul III approved the order. At Loyola’s death in 1556 there were more than 1000 members in the Jesuit order, located in a number of nations.

“Setting up the Jesuit order, Ignatius Loyola devised an elaborate spy system, so that no one in the order was safe. If there was any opposition, death would come swiftly. The Jesuit order not only became a destructive arm of the Roman Catholic Church; it also developed into a secret intelligence service...

“While the Popes relied more and more on the Jesuits, they were unaware that the hardcore leadership were Jewish, and that these Jews held membership in the Illuminati Order which despised and hated the Roman Catholic Church.” (How the World Government Rules the Nations)

See: Mystery Babylon: The Jesuits

"Bergoglio has written about his commitment to open and respectful interfaith dialogue as a way for all parties engaged in that dialogue to learn from one another. In the 2011 book that records his conversations with Rabbi Abraham Skorka, Sobre el cielo y la tierra, Bergoglio said:

"'Dialogue is born from an attitude of respect for the other person, from a conviction that the other person has something good to say. It assumes that there is room in the heart for the person’s point of view, opinion, and proposal. To dialogue entails a cordial reception, not a prior condemnation. In order to dialogue it is necessary to know how to lower the defenses, open the doors of the house, and offer human warmth.

"Religious leaders in Buenos Aires have stated that it was Bergoglio who 'opened up the Cathedral in Buenos Aires for interfaith ceremonies'. For example, in November 2012 he brought 'leaders of the Jewish, Muslim, evangelical, and Orthodox Christian faiths' together in the Cathedral to pray for peace in the Middle East. Leaders quoted in a 2013 Associated Press article said that Bergoglio has a 'very deep capacity for dialogue with other religions", and considers 'healing divisions between religions a major part of the Catholic Church's mission'." (Wikipedia: Pope Francis)

"Bergoglio has close ties to the Jewish community of Argentina, and attended Rosh Hashanah (Jewish new year) services in 2007 at a synagogue in Buenos Aires. Bergoglio told the Jewish congregation during his visit that he went to the synagogue to examine his heart, 'like a pilgrim, together with you, my elder brothers.' After the 1994 AMIA bombing of a Jewish Community Center there that killed 85 people, Bergoglio was the first public figure to sign a petition condemning the attack and calling for justice. Jewish community leaders around the world noted that his words and actions "showed solidarity with the Jewish community" in the aftermath of this attack.

"A former head of the World Jewish Congress, Israel Singer, reported that he worked with Bergoglio in the early 2000s, distributing aid to the poor as part of a joint Jewish-Catholic program called 'Tzedaká'. Singer noted that he was impressed with Bergoglio's modesty, remembering that 'if everyone sat in chairs with handles [arms], he would sit in the one without.' Bergoglio also co-hosted a Kristallnacht memorial ceremony at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral in 2012,[123] and joined a group of clerics from a number of different religions to light candles in a 2012 synagogue ceremony on the occasion of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

"Abraham Skorka, the rector of the Latin-American Rabbinical Seminary in Buenos Aires, and Bergoglio published their conversations on religious and philosophical subjects as Sobre el cielo y la tierra (On Heaven and Earth). An editorial in Israel's Jerusalem Post notes that 'Unlike John Paul II, who as a child had positive memories of the Jews of his native Poland but due to the Holocaust had no Jewish community to interact with in Poland as an adult, Pope Francis has maintained a sustained and very positive relationship with a living, breathing [Jewish] community in Buenos Aires.'

"One of the pope's first official actions was writing a letter to Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni, the Chief Rabbi of Rome, inviting him to the papal installation and sharing his hope of collaboration between the Catholic and Jewish communities. Addressing representatives of Jewish organizations and communities, Francis said that, 'due to our common roots [a] Christian cannot be anti-Semitic!'"  (Wikipedia: Pope Francis)

   “In Rome, on January 17, 2002, in the Lecture hall of the Major Roman Pontifical Seminary, a meeting was organized by the Diocese of Rome, part of the Day of Jewish-Christian dialogue. Present on the Catholic side were Cardinal Jorge Maria Mejia and Msgr. Rino Fisichella, and on the Jewish side, Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni, who replaced Rabbi Elio Toaff as Chief Rabbi of Rome...

    “Rabbi Di Segni...explains [the seven precepts that all noachides must respect]:

    “These rules are: interdiction of all worship except monotheism, interdiction on blasphemy, the obligation to form tribunals, the interdiction on homicide, theft, adultery, and incest, and the interdiction on eating food torn from living animals.

    “...The Rabbi’s attention is completely fixed on the first precept, that of monotheism: ‘As to the monotheist cult, apparently, it poses no doubt for the major religions.’ Aren’t  Judaism, Christianity and Islam defined, in post-conciliar language that has become colloquial today,  as ‘the three major monotheist religions’? In fact, Di Segni sees no difficulty in defining  Muslims as strict and even circumcised monotheists. But, as to Christians, he has some doubts....

    christians: monotheists or idolators?

    “This is where Di Segni—who is the author of the re-publication of the Toledoths Jeshu, under the new title, Il Vangelo del Ghetto [The Gospel of the Ghetto], with the Toledoths Jeshu being  the most inflammatory Jewish legends against Jesus (1)---‘speaks clearly’ to the prelates who heard him:

    “At the point we have now reached, it is necessary to make a clarification on Jewish theology, which, on the subject of monotheism and how it is lived by Christianity, gives rise to a debate that is essentially a dilemma. The point in question is in view of establishing whether Jesus’ divinity can be compatible, for a non-Jew (because for a Jew it is absolutely not) with the monotheistic concept...

“Is believing in Jesus’ divinity a sin of idolatry, a violation of the first precept of the Noachide law? Rabbi Di Segni advises: ‘As to be expected, in Jewish theology, the answer to this question is not unanimous: some firmly deny it, others place certain conditions on it. The consequence is that, according to the literal opinion, the Christian would not be on the path of salvation’ since he is guilty of idolatry...

“Di Segni concludes: ‘If one must literally apply the Noachide system of laws, it [the punishment of death] would be applied to all, so that the Noachides might observe it. Likewise, the punishment of death would apply to what treats forbidding the worship of strange gods,’ in view of monotheism.” (559)

Vatican City, March 25, 2013

“Here is a translation of the note that Pope Francis sent to the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Riccardo di Segni, for the feast of Passover, which starts today at sundown. The Holy Father met Rabbi di Segni on March 20, during his audience with delegations from other Christian confessions and non-Christian religions.

“A few days on from our meeting, and with renewed gratitude for your having desired to honor the celebration of the beginning of my ministry with your presence and that of other distinguished members of the Jewish community, I take great pleasure in extending my warmest best wishes to you and Rome's entire Jewish community on the occasion of the Great Feast of Pesach. May the Almighty, who freed His people from slavery in Egypt to guide them to the Promised Land, continue to deliver you from all evil and to accompany you with His blessing. I ask you to pray for me, as I assure you of my prayers for you, confident that we can deepen [our] ties of mutual esteem and friendship. - FRANCIS  [Translation by Vatican Radio]” - Zenit

"Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, on 13 March 2013 the papal conclave elected Bergoglio, who chose the papal name Francis in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi."  (Wikipedia: Pope Francis)

 

"Francis was a man of peace and that is how the name entered my heart. Francis of Assisi. (applause) The man who gave us the spirit of peace, the poor man. (applause)." (First Press Conference after Election of Pope Francis)

 

"Later in his [Easter] speech, Pope Francis said: 'We ask the risen Jesus, who turns death into life, to change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace.'

"The Pope then mentioned troubled regions of the world in turn.

"'Peace for the Middle East, and particularly between Israelis and Palestinians, who struggle to find the road of agreement, that they may willingly and courageously resume negotiations to end a conflict that has lasted all too long.

"'Peace in Iraq, that every act of violence may end, and above all for dear Syria, for its people torn by conflict and for the many refugees who await help and comfort.'

"'For Africa, the Pope referred to Mali, Nigeria - 'where attacks sadly continue' - the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic.

"'He added: 'Peace in Asia, above all on the Korean peninsula: may disagreements be overcome and a renewed spirit of reconciliation grow.'

"'Pope Francis concluded by saying: 'Peace in the whole world, still divided by greed looking for easy gain, wounded by the selfishness which threatens human life and the family, selfishness that continues in human trafficking, the most extensive form of slavery in this 21st Century.'"  (Pope Makes Easter Plea for Peace)

VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Francis on Thursday (Sept. 5) told world leaders gathered in Russia for the G-20 summit that a military intervention in Syria would be 'futile,' urging them to focus instead on dialogue and reconciliation to bring peace to the war-torn country. The Argentine pontiff’s first major foray onto the global stage comes as the U.S. Congress prepares to vote on a military strike against Syria in response to a reported chemical weapons attack outside Damascus on Aug. 21.

“For Francis, just six months on the job, the Syria question will test his ability to summon the power of his global bully pulpit and could play a major role in shaping the global image of a man who’s drawn more attention for his down-to-earth pastoral appeal... Francis took the unusual step of penning a letter to world leaders ahead of a global day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria that Catholics will observe on Saturday (Sept. 7)…

“To reinforce the pope’s peace effort, on Thursday the Vatican also briefed ambassadors from some 70 countries on its position on the Syrian conflict.

“The Vatican’s foreign minister, Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, explained that the church’s major concern is “stopping violence” and that any future peace plan must ensure that the rights of minorities, including Christians, are protected.

“In his letter to world leaders gathered in St. Petersburg, Francis wrote that so far “one-sided interests have prevailed and in fact hindered the search for a solution” to the Syrian conflict.

 “To the (G-20) leaders present, to each and every one, I make a heartfelt appeal for them to help find ways to overcome the conflicting positions and to lay aside the futile pursuit of a military solution,” he wrote.

 “The pope’s forceful stance on Syria marks the Holy See’s return as an actor on the international stage. Despite being the world’s smallest state, the Vatican has one of the oldest and largest diplomatic networks in the world. It enjoys the status of permanent observer at the United Nations…

“Like most of the Vatican’s appeals for peace in the 20th century – starting with Benedict XV’s call to end the “pointless slaughter” of World War I – John Paul’s effort ultimately was unsuccessful. But according to Pierre Morel, a former French ambassador to the Vatican who now heads the Pharos Observatory on religious pluralism in Paris, this doesn’t make Vatican diplomacy altogether impotent or irrelevant. Francis, on the other hand, seems intent on reversing that record with his recent appointment of Archbishop Pietro Parolin, a well-respected veteran diplomat, as Bertone’s successor.

 “His forceful stance on Syria marks the end of an impasse,” says Marco Impagliazzo, president of the Rome-based Community of Sant’Egidio, a Catholic organization active in conflict resolution and peace-brokering.

 “Francis is not resigned to a passive vision of world affairs. We must prepare for a new age of political audacity for the Holy See.” (Religious News Service)

“Pope Francis, who succeeded a resigning pontiff exactly two years ago, told a Mexican television network Friday that he expects his pontificate will be brief.

“Four or five years,’ he told Televisa. “I do not know, even two or three. Two have already passed. It is a somewhat vague sensation. Maybe it’s like the psychology of the gambler who convinces himself he will lose, so he won’t be disappointed and if he wins, is happy. I do not know.’

“Francis, who was elected in March 2013 after Pope Benedict XVI stepped down, said his predecessor had reopened a door to more popes emeritus.” (CNN Wire Service)

“Parolin has been mentioned as a papabile, or possible future pope, after the pontificate of Pope Francis. Some media have even speculated that Pope Francis himself sees Parolin as his successor.” (Wikipedia)

"On 31 August 2013 he was named Cardinal Secretary of State, effective on 15 October 2013."  (“Pietro Parolin”)

"His Eminence is a historical style of reference for high nobility, still in use in various religious contexts. The style remains in use as the official style or standard of address in reference to a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, reflecting his status as a Prince of the Church." (His Eminence)

“Recent years have been less glorious for the job of secretary of state, although it remains the top position in the Holy See's administration, or curia, and is sometimes equated with 'prime minister' of the Vatican.”   (A 'Prime Minister' for Francis)

"Monsignor Pietro Parolin, another Italian considered in Rome’s diplomatic circles to be a first-class diplomat. He has made concrete advances in bettering the Church’s relations with Vietnam and China." (Petrus Ramus The Final Pope)

 

“In the latest of his initiatives to clean up the curia, Pope Francis has named a professional Vatican diplomat who has served in several highly sensitive places and has a reputation for being a discreet, dedicated professional. On August 31st it was announced that the 79-year-old Cardinal Bertone would be replaced by a stripling of 58—Archbishop Pietro Parolin (pictured), who for the past four years has been the papal envoy to Venezuela. ... 

“Archbishop Parolin has undertaken some sensitive missions for the Vatican, for example to North Korea and Vietnam.”  (A 'Prime Minister' for Francis)

 

“After he was ordained on 27 April 1980, he took up graduate studies in canon law at the Pontifical Gregorian University and at the same time diplomacy at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy. He entered the Holy See's diplomatic service in 1986 at the age of 31, and has served the Holy See as a diplomat for 20 years, in the nunciatures of Nigeria and Mexico.

“He served for three years in the Nunciature of Nigeria and another three (1989-1992) in the Nunciature of Mexico. In Nigeria he became familiar with the problems in Christian-Muslim relations. During his time in Mexico he contributed to the final phase of the extensive work begun by Archbishop Girolamo Prigione which led to the legal recognition of the Catholic Church in 1992 and the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and Mexico. These laborious negotiations led to Mexico officially shedding the country’s secular and anti-clerical imprint, which extended to its Constitution...

“Parolin has also been at the forefront of Vatican efforts to approve and implement the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Addressing the International Atomic Energy Agency on 18 September 2006, at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria, Msgr. Parolin referred to this treaty as "the basis to pursue nuclear disarmament and an important element for further development of nuclear energy applications for peaceful purposes." He said: "Since this treaty is the only multilateral legal instrument currently available, intended to bring about a nuclear weapons-free world, it must not be allowed to be weakened. Humanity deserves no less than the full cooperation of all states in this important matter...

“Previously, he had served from 2002 as Undersecretary for Relations with States, the highest position in the Holy See's diplomatic service after those of Cardinal Secretary of State and Secretary for Relations with States. On 31 August 2013 he was named Cardinal Secretary of State, effective on 15 October 2013...

“Parolin represented the Vatican in a variety of sensitive assignments, including trips to North Korea and Vietnam... As the Vatican’s “deputy foreign minister” he dealt with all the sensitive dossiers on the Holy See’s relations with Vietnam (he was partly responsible for paving the way to full diplomatic relations between the two)... At the beginning of Pope Benedict's pontificate, direct contact was re-established with China. It was in this context that Benedict XVI sent Chinese Catholics the June 2007 Letter...” (“Pietro Parolin”)

“Parolin represented the Vatican in a variety of sensitive assignments, including...the 2007 'Annapolis Conference' on the Middle East convened by the Bush administration.

“As the Vatican’s 'deputy foreign minister' he dealt with ...the legal issues between the Vatican and Israel which remain unresolved...

“Concerning recent developments in international negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, the Vatican official reaffirmed 'that the present difficulties can and must be overcome through diplomatic channels, making use of all the means that diplomacy has at its disposal and considers necessary to eliminate all the elements which objectively impede mutual trust.”  (“Pietro Parolin”)

    "A veteran diplomat, the Vatican's new secretary of state, plans to put the church's vast global diplomatic network into high gear as champions for peace.
    Archbishop Pietro Parolin said Pope Francis has already injected a new impetus into the Vatican's Secretariat of State structure and given a new push for church-led diplomacy...
    "In a Sept. 6 interview with the Venezuelan Catholic newspaper, Diario Catolico, Archbishop Parolin said, 'The pope's initiatives have given the secretary of state an impetus and have also created a new diplomatic momentum.'
When asked if he would be spearheading a new diplomatic offensive for peace, he noted that it was a complicated question but said, 'Yes, I hope that we can recoup' that drive.
    "We have this great advantage in respect to other churches, to other religions: We can count on an international institutional presence through diplomacy," he said.    "Archbishop Parolin said the Vatican has to take advantage of its vast network of papal nuncios around the world and all the contacts it has with international organizations.
     "'They are precious instruments that can be used to help the world,' he said...

"The archbishop said the whole reason for the existence of the Vatican's diplomatic organization 'is the quest for peace.'

"Nowhere is this more important right now than in the Middle East, he said in a Sept 6 interview with his hometown Catholic newspaper, 'La Voce dei Berici.'" (Catholic News Service)

“In the right hands and at the right moment, the post of secretary of state in the Vatican can be one of the most important in the world.”  (The Economist)

President Obama meets Cardinal Parolin, 27 March 2014

Still higher office?
“American journalist John Allen noted in a column today: A mini-boom of speculation on the Internet back in 2006 had Parolin in line for an even higher position. A note about the papal prophecies of the medieval Abbot Malachy posted on the Wikipedia website speculated that Parolin might be the Petrus Romanus, or “Peter the Roman”, whom Abbot Malachy predicts will be the last pope before the end of the world. (“Pietro” means “Peter” in Italian.) Whether Parolin will ever be elected pope, and whether that triggers the apocalypse, obviously remains to be seen, but already this particular Peter is now a very big deal.”

“...St. Malachy reportedly predicted the final leader of the church as Petrus Romanus. That’s usually translated as “Peter the Roman,” or “Peter of Italy.” St. Malachy said: Petrus Romanus, qui paſcet oues in multis tribulationibus: quibus tranſactis ciuitas ſepticollis diruetur, & Iudex tremẽdus iudicabit populum ſuum. Here’s one translation:

“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven -hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.” (Prophecy & The Last Pope: Saint Malachy, Nostradamus, the Antichrist, and End Times, Sarah Skye and Dace Allen)

 March 2, 2017

 

“The London Times newspaper is reporting that a group of cardinals who supported Pope Francis now want him to resign and be replaced by Cardinal Pietro Parolin because they fear his reforms will cause a schism “more disastrous” than the Reformation...

 

“A large part of the cardinals who voted for him is very worried and the curia . . . that organised his election and has accompanied him thus far, without ever disassociating itself from him, is cultivating the idea of a moral suasion to convince him to retire.

“It was the latter faction who now believed that the Pope should resign and who would like to replace him with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state, Mr Socci said. He believed that the group numbered around a dozen, but the importance of the members counts more than their number. Four years after Benedict XVI’s renunciation and Bergoglio’s arrival on the scene, the situation of the Catholic church has become explosive, perhaps really on the edge of a schism, which could be even more disastrous than Luther’s [who is today being rehabilitated by the Bergoglio church].

“The cardinals are worried that the church could be shattered as an institution. There are many indirect ways in which the pressure might be exerted.

“An expert on the Vatican gave this assessment of the latest development:

“A good number of the majority that voted for Bergoglio in 2013 have come to regret their decision, but I don’t think it’s plausible that members of the hierarchy will pressure the Pope to resign. Those who know him know it would be useless. [He] has a very authoritarian streak. He won’t resign until he has completed his revolutionary reforms, which are causing enormous harm.” (OnePeterFive)

“Vatican City, Jun 6, 2018 / 04:26 pm (CNA).- Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State, will take part in the Bilderberg Conference, an annual private gathering of global political, business and media leaders, set to take place this year in Turin, Italy, June 7 – 10.

“Cardinal Parolin’s name is included in the list of 131 participants in this year’s Bilderberg meeting...

“Receiving the Charlemagne Prize May 6, 2016, Pope Francis stressed that ”today we urgently need to engage all the members of society in building 'a culture which privileges dialogue as a form of encounter' and in creating 'a means for building consensus and agreement while seeking the goal of a just, responsive and inclusive society.’”

“The cardinal’s participation in the Bilderberg Group could be part of a strategy of dialogue the Holy See is engaging with small influential élite group.

“It is noteworthy that last year, Cardinal Pietro Parolin took part in the World Economic Forum in Davos, and there he delivered Jan. 19 a speech in which he listed the aims of pontifical diplomacy.” (Catholic News Agency)

"Yeshua, the Messiah, would be the Prince of Peace. But then there's another prince that comes. And it says here, he's going to be a prince, but he's a false prince. And he will be a Roman. But what's interesting in saying that, so if he's in the stead of Christ, or he's trying to take the place of Christ, then what do we have here? What is the modern day pope that we have right now? Pope Francis, who many of you know is Petrus Romanus, Petrus the Roman, according to the prophecy...from his background and the things that he chose there. But he is Roman by birth because of his parents, he's Roman descent. He's Roman because he is a pope of Rome. And what is he doing? Trying to bring peace to the Middle East. He is, in that regard, the antichristo Prince of Peace. He is trying to take the place of Christ bringing in peace. Then what did the Scriptures say, in the Christian bible? 'They will cry peace, peace and there is no peace.' Shimon Peres recently said to the pope on his visit, 'You're the only one that can bring peace to the Middle East. The Muslim nations are looking to the Pope to bring peace to the Middle East. So, if he is to be a false type of Christ, who was truly the Prince of Peace, then he's trying to mimic his steps by being a prince of peace as well. So no wonder why Daniel labels him as the prince that shall come." (Steven DeNoon, The Prince That Shall Come Is Here!)

 

"The Vatican’s new Pope Francis will step up as a great savior and mysteriously the Temple Treasures will appear after 2000 years. He will help broker a peace deal that will give Israel their long-desired Temple in exchange for Jerusalem coming under United Nations control as a Universal religious city. Oh my gosh, it sounds like the Millennium almost! But Satan will get his desire for three and half years; he will sit in the Temple of God and be worshiped as if he were the Almighty!

"Anyone with eyes to see should know we are on the verge of John’s prophecy in Revelation chapter 11 being fulfilled. In part, this is what John writes: …But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.—Revelation 11:2 The Gentiles tread the Holy city under foot for three and a half years. I used to think it was speaking of the Palestinians getting their state, which they will, but ‘the Gentiles’ refers to the Vatican taking control of the old City. Rome will once again be in control at the advent of Messiah’s return! (Vatican - Israeli Covenant. Rome To Take Control Of The Temple Mount)

"...Christ's ministry does not last only three and a half years, but it will last for seven years, because Daniel declares that He will confirm His covenant for one 'week'. It is quite understandable then that He promised us another three-and-a-half-year period in which the Kingdom will be manifested. He did precisely that by saying that the gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world for a 'witness' to all nations just before the end (Mt. 24:14). That 'witness' lasts 1,260 days, or three and a half years, according to Revelation 11. So the covenant will be confirmed, or fulfilled again at the end of the Church Age, for another period of three and a half years." - 813:192

        TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

And he [the Roman prince] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Dan.9:27

“Abbot Werdin of Otranto, also known as Abbot Werdin d’Orante or d’Otrante, died in 1279. He said: 'The great monarch and the great Pope will precede the Antichrist. The nations will be at war for four years and a great part of the world will be destroyed. The Pope will go over the sea carrying the sign of Redemption on his forehead. The great Monarch will come to restore peace and the Pope will share in the victory.'” (Prophecy & The Last Pope: Saint Malachy, Nostradamus, the Antichrist, and End Times, Sarah Skye and Dace Allen)

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant... For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant... And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. - Dan. 11:21,22,30,32

"The Sicambrian Franks, from whose female line the Merovingians emerged, were associated with Grecian Arcadia before migrating to the Rhineland. As we have seen, they called themselves the NEWMAGE -- 'People of the New Covenant', just as the Essenes of Qumran had once been known." - 29:175

 

    "...Once the URO is created, they predict, it will be given the task of creating a 'New Covenant' for the planet:
    "'The URO...will discern the nature of that covenant, and with it the responsibilities, rather than the rights, of planetary citizenship.' In other words these paid prophets of the new world order would be called upon to keep restive religionists in line...'" - 70:11, quoting William N. Grigg

 "When in 1780 Lessing expounded his grand vision of a progressive illumined human race, in his On the Education of the Human Race, he proclaimed: 'It will assuredly come! the time of the new eternal Gospel which is promised us in the Primer of the New Testament itself... Perhaps even some enthusiasts of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries had caught a glimpse of a beam of this new eternal Gospel, and only erred in that they predicted its outburst as so near to their own time. Perhaps their 'Three Ages of the World' were not so empty of speculation after all, and assuredly they had no contemptible views when they taught that the New Covenant must become as antiquated as the Old had been... Only they were premature.' Lessing's phrase 'The Three Ages of the World' taken in conjunction with the term 'Eternal Evangel', identifies these medieval 'enthusiasts' securely as Joachites." 256:60-1

"The new covenant is a remaking of the human spirit, which had decayed, back to its original state... Thus it is a covenant creating a union between humanity and the divinity that makes humanity possess God and vice versa. It establishes an identity between humanity and God by which everything is held in common between them, apart from the difference of nature. The creature remains a creature and the Creator remains the Creator, but all the rest is common. So the identification takes place of which Paul speaks: 'It is no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me.' Gal. 2:20. The deification which is the aim of all religious life takes place... God's direct action in human hearts [is] transforming and deifying... [I]n the new covenant...humanity becomes divine and God becomes human." (Carlo Cardinal Martini) - 443:55,42

 PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS

    PROGRAM OF GOD

OLD TESTAMENT

He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. - II Sam. 7:13

THE MILLENNIUM

After this I will return and build the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof and I will set it up. - Acts 15:16

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old." - Amos 9:11

And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. - Is. 16:5

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them ...and I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them forever, My tabernacle shall also be with them: yea I will be their God, and they shall be My people, And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. - Ezek.37:26-28

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. - Is.2:2-3

At the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons. - Ezek.46:1-3

NEW HEAVENS & NEW EARTH

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. - Rev. 21:3

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. - Rev.21:22

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

    The Roman prince (Pope) will commission a Millennial Temple or Tabernacle of David to be built at the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation period.  At mid-point of the 7 years, he shall cause the sacrifice to cease, due to the placement of the abomination of desolation (See: Abomination of Desolation 24.D) in the Holy Place. (See: A Sacred Assembly*)
    The Synagogue of Satan, however, intends to build the Temple of Pallas/Pan at a sacred site in the territory of Dan (See: Mount Zion / Mount Sion 10.D).  Satan's Synagogue may attempt to build Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, however the earthquake foretold in Rev. 11:13 will justify abandonment of Mount Zion in Jerusalem in order to build the pagan temple at Mount Hermon in Dan. Although the Synagogue of Satan will claim that the temple is a "Christian" temple, and not a Jewish temple, they will dedicate the temple to Pallas, the Greek god/goddess sea-beast (Rev.13:1) from which the name 'Palestine' derives. (See: Beast out of the Sea/Pan 11.A)

See: The Lost Tribe of Dan*

        PRE-FLOOD ERA

"Surrounded by golden railings the heart of the great temple [of Atlantis] was an untrodden inner sanctum sacred to the memory of Poseidon and his spouse Clito. It thus symbolized 'the very place where the race of the ten princes had been first conceived and begotten'...[who were] the ten founding princes of Atlantis." - 637:61

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. - I Kings 12:26-32

 

    And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest...

    And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate. And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war. And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image...

    And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt 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 Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein. And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first. And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land. And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. - Judges 17:5, 18:16-18,27-31

 

"In the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon lies Baalbek. If this identification is correct then Baalbek was inside the Israelite kingdom... Baalbek...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... Macrobius in his Saturnalia wrote of Baalbek: 'This temple is also famous for its oracles.'...

"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', we had the last biblical reference to the oracle of Micah.

"In the Tractate Pesahim of the Babylonian Talmud is written the following sentence: 'The image of Micah stands in Bechi.' 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 strong argument for the thesis of this essay, namely that Baalbek is the ancient Dan." - 287

But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.- Amos 5:26

Then God 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 Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. - Acts 7:42,43

        CHURCH AGE

“In 1118, nine Knights Crusaders in the East, among whom were Geoffroi de Saint-Omer and Hugues de Payens, consecrated themselves to religion, and took an oath between the hands of the Patriarch of Constantinople, a See always secretly or openly hostile to that of Rome from the time of Photius. The avowed object of the Templars was to protect the Christians who came to visit the Holy Places: their secret object was the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon on the model prophesied by Ezekiel. This re-building, formally predicted by the Judaizing Mystics of the earlier ages, had become the secret dream of the Patriarchs of the Orient. The Temple of Solomon, re-built and consecrated to the Catholic worship would become, in effect, the Metropolis of the Universe; the East would prevail over the West, and the Patriarchs of Constantinople would possess themselves of the Papal power." - 552  "The Johannite Legend of the Templars"

 

"Ramsey, emphasized that Freemasonry had its beginnings in the Holy Land, among 'the Crusaders': 'At the time of the Crusades in PALESTINE many princes, lords, and citizens associated themselves and vowed to restore THE TEMPLE OF THE CHRISTIANS in the Holy Land, and to employ themselves in bringing back their architecture to its first institution."' - 106:189

    "The left-hand pillar of King Solomon's Temple was called Boaz, who, as any Freemason knows, was the great-great grandfather of David, king of Israel.  For the Qumranians too, this was the kingly pillar that stood for the house of David and the concept of 'mishpat'.  This is often translated as 'judgement', but it stood for more than that; it signified the regular rule of Yahweh as king, and so represented the divinely appointed order itself.

    "The rule of government and the dispensing of justice were always connected with this pillar: it was at Mizpah (another spelling of mishpat) that Jacob erected his first pillar, and it was here that Saul was acclaimed the first king of Israel.

    "When these two spiritual pillars are in place with the Teacher of Righteousness (tsedeq) on the left hand of God and the earthly Davidic King (mishpat) on his right hand, the archway of Yahweh's rule will be in place with the keystone of 'shalom' locking everything together at its centre. This Jewish term is perhaps the most famous of all Hebrew words, understood the world over as a form of greeting that means 'peace', the state of not being at war; but needless to say it had a far more complex import for the Jews of the Bible. For the Qumranians shalom meant much more than just peace -- it involved good fortune, prosperity, victory in war, and general good fortune and well-being. But 'shalom' was not a free gift -- it had to be won by establishing the Rule of Yahweh, which meant establishing a moral order of government, supported by both the kingly and priestly pillars.

    "The whole essence and mission of the Qumran Community was made comprehensible to its senior members through this symbolism, which they wrote down as per the midrashic instructions of Moses and buried under Herod's Temple, later to be rediscovered by the Knights Templar.

    "Freemasons have inherited the symbols but have lost the meaning along the way. When the Qumranians knew that the 'end of the age' was drawing near, the need to find the people who were fit to be these pillars became urgent, because God could not destroy the old order until the new framework was in place. Because these positions were 'designate' rather than immediately available, due to the Roman occupation and the false high priesthood in Jerusalem, the candidates were called messiahs; essentially, leaders in waiting.

    "The more we discovered of the Qumranian 'pillar' paradigm, the more certain we became that their ceremonies had to be the forerunners of Freemasonry today. We became particularly excited when we looked into the remains of Qumran and found that they had erected an imitation Temple entrance with their own copies of the pillars of Boaz and Jachin. These two pillar bases still exist outside the east door of a vestry that leads to what is often referred to as Qumran's 'Holy of Holies'. We could not believe that it was mere coincidence that the only two pillar bases found in the ruins of the whole settlement are either side of the eastern gate to their substitute place of worship.  These two pillars must have been the location for the all-important initiation ceremony of senior members and the aspiration for the two messiahs that would come shortly before the 'end of the age'." - 162:208-9

"Elias Ashmole and William Lilly founded a Rosicrucian lodge in London in 1646 based upon...the rebuilding of Solomon's temple as revered in the Templar tradition." 25:56-7

"...[Isaac Newton] drew a reconstructed floor plan of the Temple of Solomon." - 242:139

"...Margaret Wertheim, author of a history of God and physics [wrote], 'Isaac Newton who spent years trying to decipher Old Testament prophecies, believed he had found the true dimensions of the Temple of Solomon meant to be an earthly embodiment of heaven..." - 409

 

"...Rosslyn Chapel, built on a site of sacred significance since the Stone Age, once used by the Druids as the oracle , was the supreme centre of initiation in pre-Renaissance Western Europe...

     "Rosslyn was not a simple chapel; it was a post-templar shrine built to house the scrolls found by Hugues de Payen and his team under the Holy of Holies of the last Temple at Jerusalem!

    "Both classes of craftsmen must have been aware that they were rebuilding King Solomon's Temple for some strange reason (although it was actually Herod's Temple)." - 266:193,312

    "'The [Masonic] lodge is a representation of King Solomon's Temple and the Temple was calculated to symbolize the maternal human body, wherein the candidate must enter to be born again...

"...a Masonic book, The Historical Landmarks and Other Evidences of Freemasonry, declares...

"'The two pillars...represent two imaginary columns, supposed to be placed at the equinoces (sic) to support the heavens... The one on the left is called Boaz, and indicates Osiris, or the sun, the one on the right is called Jachin, and designates Isis, the symbol both of the earth and its productions, and of the moon.'" - 39:338-9

 

"The Solstices, Cancer and Capricorn, the two Gates of Heaven, are the two pillars of Hercules beyond which he, the Sun, never journeyed: and they still appear in our lodges as the two great columns, Jachin and Boaz, and also as the two parallel lines that bound the circle with a point in the centre, emblem of the Sun, between the two tropics of Cancer and Capricorn." - 155:506

 

"The Sun-god is born at midwinter when the Sun is weakest and has attained his most southerly station; therefore, his representative, the Sun-King, is killed at the summer solstice when the Sun attains his most northerly station." - 406:111

"Every true Mason...realizes that the Temple of Solomon is really the Temple of the Solar Man—Sol-Om-On—the King of the Universe..." - 678:63

"The Masons covet the Temple mount site of Solomon's Temple because their mythology has the organization being established by one Hiram, the Mason who supposedly built the Temple 3000 years ago." - 216:169  

“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.” - 211:63

        TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

"Rev. 11:1-2 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

"In the opening verse of chapter 11, John is given a reed compared to a rod. This reed is commonly grown in the Jordan Valley, and because of its light weight it constitutes a good measuring rod. John is instructed to measure the Temple of God, the altar, and them that worship therein... This command to measure the Temple of God makes John the actor as well as the observer. The Temple of God (Gr., naon tou theou) refers to the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies, not the outer court of the Temple. The altar may be a reference to the brazen altar which was in the outer court although the altar in chapter 8 seems to be the altar of incense. Only priests could go into the Temple, but others who were not priests could approach the brazen altar with their sacrifices. Although John is commanded to measure the Temple and the altar and them that worship therein, he is instructed not to measure the court without the Temple. The explanation given is that this is given to the Gentiles and that the outer court as well as the entire holy city will be under Gentile dominion for forty-two months." - 349:176

"The Temple May Be About To Be Rebuilt! Christians the world over who know their prophecy, understand that Antichrist is going to rebuild his Temple -- Matthew 24:15. An Israeli fundamentalist organization called 'The Temple Mount Faithful' is leading the fight to get that Temple rebuilt. They believe they are building a Temple for their Jewish Messiah, but we Christians know that Temple will be for Antichrist.

"Last week, really exciting news came out of Jerusalem that possibly indicated the closeness of the hour. For the first time in history, the President of Israel, Moshe Katzav, asked the Prime Minister of the Vatican, Cardinal Angelo Sudano, to prepare a list of all the Temple treasures, vessels and Judaica that are being held by the Vatican. The goal is that one day soon Israel would recover them from the Vatican and return them to Jerusalem which would indicate the beginning of the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and the redemption of the people and land of Israel." - 699

"Burn the holy images no longer; demolish the temples no more; temples and images are necessary for men; but drive the hirelings from the house of prayer; let the blind be no longer leaders of the blind, reconstruct the hierarchy of intelligence and holiness, and recognize only those who know as the teachers of those who believe." (Annie Besant) - 455:81

"The Holy of Holies, or Inner Sanctuary, in Solomon's Temple was deemed to represent the womb of Ashteroth (alternately Asherah as mentioned several times in the Old Testament). Ashtoreth was openly worshipped by the Israelites until the 6th century BC. As the Lady Asherah, she was the supernal wife of El, the supreme male deity, and they were together the Divine Couple. Their daughter was Anath, Queen of the Heavens, and their son, the King of the Heavens, was called He. As time progressed, the separate characters of El and He were merged to become Jehovah. Asherah and Anath were then similarly conjoined to become Jehovah's female consort, known as the Shekinah or Matronit... The divine marital chamber was the sanctuary of the Jerusalem Temple, but from the moment the Temple was destroyed, the Shekinah was destined to roam the Earth while the male aspect of Jehovah was left to rule the heavens alone." - 29:14

"Does anyone today think of the temple's Holy of Holies as the bridal chamber, symbolic of the human psyche, where the eternal Bridegroom is united with this Bride?" - 892:61

"The inhabitants of Canaan were addicted to Baal [Sun] worship which was conducted by priests in temples and in good weather outdoors and fields and particularly on hill tops called 'high places'. The cult included animal sacrifice, ritualistic meals, and licentious dances. Near the rock altar was a sacred pillar, or masseba, and close by was the symbol of the Ashera, both of which symbolized human fertility. High places had chambers for sacred prostitution by male prostitutes (qedeshim) and sacred harlots (qedishot) (I Kings 14:23-24; II Kings 23:7). The gaiety and licentious character of Baal worship always had a subtle attraction for the austere Hebrews bound to serve a holy God under a rigorous moral code." - 299:485

And he (the Roman prince) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease... - Dan.9:27

“The Lion that guarded the Ark and held in his mouth the key wherewith to open it, figuratively represents Solomon, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, who preserved and communicated the key to the true knowledge of God, of His laws, and of the profound mysteries of the moral and physical Universe... The lion [ארי, אריה, Arai, Araiah, which also means the altar] still holds in his mouth the key of the enigma of the sphynx.” (Albert Pike, Morals & Dogma) - 155:210

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. - II Thes. 2:3-4

...Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread underfoot forty and two months. - Rev.11:1-2

"After listening to you say Mt. Hermon was on the 33rd parallel AND 33rd meridian, I got on GoogleEarth and decided to look around the area to see what I could find.  (You know, GoogleEarth is satellite pictures of the entire earth, and you can navigate to anywhere you want to go and zoom in on your target.)  I was disappointed to find that it was out in the middle of the Mediterranean. 

"Sometime later, I heard you say that the area was what is now the Golan Heights.  So, I started scanning the area around the 33rd parallel in the Golan Heights area.  Then I decided to 'refine' my search, so I scanned around until I was at 33° 33' latitude (33° 33')!  As I was looking over the terrain from a fairly good height (about 13.5 miles eye altitude), I saw a small white 'dot' below... At that height, it was obvious that it was a very large structure!

"I zoomed in on the white dot, and it looked like a rather large building up on the very top of a mountain, with several roads going around the area. Wow!  Then, a few days later as I was re-listening to one of your audios, I heard you say that the ancient longitude was from the Paris meridian, not Greenwich, and that there was a 2.5° difference, which would make the longitude 35.5° instead of 33° on  our Greenwich meridian.  I eagerly got back on GoogleEarth and found my white "dot" on 33° 33' 13"....and would you believe that the longitude was 35.5°!    

"I feel that this large structure on the 33.33° parallel and the ancient 33° longitude must be a large pagan - Masonic - whatever - temple!" - 1106

'Temple' to be built in the north
Eitan Glickman

"A 25-meter-tall (82 feet) replica of Solomon's temple in ancient Jerusalem to be built in northern city of Kiryat Shemoneh. Project will cost 8 million dollars to build, become main feature of city's Bible World amusement park
    "Not quite the Third Temple, but close: Entrepreneurs in the northern city of Kiryat Shemoneh are making plans to build a 'Holy Temple' as part of a soon-to-be established Bible World amusement park.

"Like the original in Jerusalem, the model structure will tower over its surroundings, reaching a height of 25 meters (82 feet) and will be an exact replica of Solomon's temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE.

"'Time tunnels' will offer descriptions of the different periods of Jewish history, and will lead visitors to the main hall, which will feature murals depicting Biblical stories.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to "meet" three heroes of the Bible: Abraham, Moses and King David.

Is the Bible 'disappearing' from consciousness?

"Overseeing the project is Chabad rabbi of Kiryat Shemoneh, Yigal Tsipori, who toured the site Wednesday with Mayor Chaim Barbibai and other local rabbis.
    "'The 'Book of Books,' the cradle of Jewish civilization, is increasingly disappearing from our national consciousness. Limited study is no longer sufficient to attract young people of today to the Bible and its values. Therefore, there is a great need for this initiative,' said Tsipori.
    "The 'Temple' will use 3-D movies and other tools to show young people just how things worked in the Holy Temple and just what the priests (Cohanim) did,' he added.
    "The park will also feature a Biblical textile mill and wine press, and will host Bar and Bat Mitzvah receptions.
400,000 visitors expected
    "The park's founders say they hope to attract 400,000 visitors annually to the park, including local Israeli youths and young people from the Diaspora.
    "The project, to be located near the Nehemia Mall in Kiryat Shemoneh, is expected to cost USD 8 million (NIS 38 million) and employ several dozen workers.
    "Several donors have already been lined up to fund the project." - 1107

Old Testament Period: Obelisks were pagan symbols of Sun worship; Israel set up obelisks at Solomon's Temple.

Church Age: The Prieuré de Sion claims to possess Temple treasures such as the Bethel stone which is an obelisk.

Tribulation: There will be false teaching that the Pope is the Abomination of Desolation; the pope will cause the sacrificial offerings to cease, laying the groundwork for the erection of the obelisk.

Great Tribulation: The Antichrist will set up an obelisk in the Temple of Solomon and use the site of the obelisk for beheading and phallic worship.

    PROGRAM OF GOD

OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

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, and poured oil upon the top of it... And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee... I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred...

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him... And Jacob set up a pillar 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...

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. - Gen. 28:18-22; 31:13,45,51-2; 35:9-14; 35:19-20

And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and he called the name thereof Boaz. - I Kings 7:21

CHURCH AGE

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. - Mt. 16:18

To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,  And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. - I Pet. 2:4-8

 

Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. - Rom. 9:32-33
 

THE MILLENNIUM

And I will cut off WITCHCRAFTS out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: thy GRAVEN IMAGES also will I cut off, and thy STANDING IMAGES (pillars) out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard . - Mic. 5:12-15

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

The "abomination of desolation" will be an obelisk - a phallic symbol used in Sun worship - that is set upon the altar in the Holy Place, thereby causing the sacrifice to come to an end.

Throughout Church history, the obelisk has been erected as a symbol of the triumph of Paganism over Christianity. There are other abominations that will be set up in the temple/tabernacle and also cause it to be desolated. These abominations will be presented to Israel as being part of the "restored Temple treasures", but in reality they are occult artifacts--possibly even some that were connected with the pagan Pan/Baal worship in Solomon's Temple  (Ezekiel 8) and at Dan/Mt. Hermon. Among these artifacts will be a pagan cornerstone, an omphalos that will be Satan's throne, the Stone of Destiny, which they will claim is Jacob's Pillar, obelisks, and other objects. It's difficult to say which of these will be placed upon the altar and become the "abomination of desolation" as all are abominations connected to the restored Pan/Baal phallic worship in Jerusalem. See: Phallic Worship 21.G; The Beast (Pan) 11.A

        PRE-FLOOD ERA

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. - Gen. 11:1-4

"The third treasure item from Atlantis mentioned by Plato, but no less inspiring than the first two, would be the the 'Obelisk of Laws' - on which were engraved certain commandments, that stood at the center acropolis." - 814

 

The Pillars of Atlantis

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

"The obelisk has been, for centuries, the ultimate symbol of power of the occult elite. It is found standing at the world’s most powerful places and strange occult powers are attributed to them. These tall monuments originate from the ancient Egypt and are said to represent the lost phallus of Osiris – in other words, male energy. The obelisk is therefore a phallic symbol and the fact that this young girl encounters many of them during her quest might be a reminder of the male handler dominating her mentally and sexually (through abuse)." (Labyrinth: A Blueprint to Mind Control)

"Sheva's symbol is the lingam or phallos. Sheva speaks: 'I am not distinct from the phallos. The phallos is identical with me. It draws my faithful to me and therefore must be worshipped. Wherever there is an upright male organ, I, myself, am present, even if there is no other representation of me... The phallos is...the symbol of the god.' This is Cosmic Christ language..." - 180:176

    "In Our Phallic Heritage we are told that 'All pillars or columns originally had a phallic significance, and were therefore considered sacred.' Pan, the goat god and god of sensuality, was often represented as an obelisk.

    "A former witch gives some interesting information about the obelisk. He writes:

        "'The obelisk is a long pointed four-sided shaft, the uppermost portion of which forms a pyramid. The word 'obelisk' literally means 'Baal's Shaft' or Baal's organ of reproduction. This should be especially shocking when we realize that we have a gigantic obelisk in our nation's capital known as the Washington Monument.'" - 39:341

 

"As early as 3500 B.C. the Egyptians began building slender, tapering, four-sided obelisks which served as timepieces. The moving shadow of the obelisk formed a type of sundial, and markers arranged about the base separated the day into divisions as well as indicating the longest and shortest days of the year." - 1125

Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry...

 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city. - Ezek. 8:5, 9:4-7

   "Artemis. The goddess known among the Greeks as Artemis and among the Romans as Diana.... She was undoubtedly a representative of the same power presiding over conception and birth that was adored in Palestine under the name Ashtoreth... Her temple at Ephesus was one of the wonders of the world, but its greatest glory was the 'image which fell down from heaven' (Acts 19:35).
    "Asherah. Other names of this deity were Ashtoreth (Astarte) and Anath. In the O.T. Asherah appears as a goddess by the side of Baal, whose consort she eventually came to be, at least among the Canaanites of the south... Her cult object, whatever it was, was utterly detestable to faithful worshippers of Yahweh (I King 15:13) and was set up on the high places beside the 'altars of incense'...and the 'PILLARS'... Indeed, the 'STONE PILLARS' seems to have represented the male god, Baal (cf. Judg. 6:28), while the cult objects of Asherah, probably a tree or pole, constituted a symbol of this goddess..." [ed., Druids absorbed Canaanite religion]
    "Ashtoreth. Her cult even presented a danger of pollution to early Israel (Judg. 2:13; 10:6); Solomon succumbed to her voluptuous worship (1 Kings 11:5; 2 Kings 22:13)." - 299:483-5

        CHURCH AGE

"M. Plantard...declared...that the Prieuré de Sion did in fact hold the lost treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem - the booty plundered by Titus' Roman legions in AD 70. Those items, he stated, would be 'returned to Israel when the time is right'." - 31:225

"According to Masonic tradition, the Knights of St Andrew were the inheritors of an Order established in 586 BC. They were the Temple Guard of Jerusalem, who were gathered by the High Priest Hilkiah before the Temple of Solomon was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Their task at that time was to secrete the treasure from the invader, and to carry away certain items of express significance. This was, of course, the very year when the sacred Stone of Destiny found its way to Ireland with the prophet Jeremiah." - 92:63

See: A Sacred Assembly*

"The two granite obelisks were originally entrance pillars to the temple at Heliopolis, but were moved to Alexandria in 12 B.C., and then to London and New York in 1878 and 1881 respectively." - 29:267

"Just as ancient sites such as Stonehenge are aligned to the positions of the sun and moon, the same is true of the Washington Monument. For example, for example, the line of sight for the winter solstice can be established from the top of the monument to the southeast, down Virginia Avenue." - 42:247

TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

"Gerad [de Borgo Sandonino] predicted that the 'Abomination of Desolation'...would occur in the form of an evil pope... This idea of the Pope as Antichrist would become part of the essential rhetoric of the Reformation." - 308:50

"In other eighteenth-century Masonic rites there are repeated references to the 'ROCK OF SION'... Given their preoccupation with the Temple of Jerusalem ...they refer one to specific passages of the Bible...a particular stone overlooked or unjustifiably neglected during the building of the Temple, which must subsequently be retrieved and incorporated as the structure's keystone." - 31:185

"The omphalos is a white phallic stone, rounded at the top, which represents the center of the world. It is the throne of a superhuman presence. The cosmic omphalos, which represents the male principle, is the opposite of the cosmic egg, which signifies the female principle... The CORNERSTONE of the Ark of the Covenant in Jerusalem, ever visible near Christ's tomb, was an OMPHALOS. In Hebrew tradition, in the Sephir Bahir, the phallus is compared to the righteous, who, like a column, are both the foundation and the support that insures equilibrium between Heaven and Earth. Life rests upon a phallus just as the universe rests upon a column." - 102:33,34

"In 1889 Peladan...claimed to have discovered Jesus' tomb - not at the traditional site of the Holy Sepulchre but under the Mosque of Omar, formerly part of the Templars' enclave." - 31:155

"The idea of Jerusalem as a 'navel' is reflected in Jewish Midrashim: '... The Holy One... began the world from its navel. Where is its navel? Jerusalem. And its [Jerusalem's navel] itself? The altar'. Cults at earth-navel sites often involved serpent imagery, chthonian rites, and, at least covertly, sexual symbolism. Accordingly, some scholars allege that SNAKE WORSHIP ... MALE PROSTITUTION, and androgyny were all to be found at Delphi and other Greek earth-navel shrines as well as at JERUSALEM. Furthermore, sexual symbolism connected with fertility rites would be appropriate at a shrine which claimed to be at the center of the world and its point of origin." - 95:622 ("Navel of the Earth")

And he [the Roman prince] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of ABOMINATIONS he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Dan.9:27

 

    "William St. Clair himself masterminded the whole construction of [Rosslyn Chapel] from its inception to his own death in 1484, just two years before its completion; furthermore, he personally supervised every tiny detail of the work...

    "The great light of truth about the building suddenly seemed so blindingly obvious: Rosslyn Chapel was not a chapel at all, it was not even really Christian! For a start, there is NO ALTAR... In fact one of the objections King James VI raised to this Earl of Rosslyn, as Grand Master of the Masons, was that he had had his children baptised at Rosslyn which was not a Christian place of worship.

    "The more we looked, the more obvious this fact became. The symbolism is Egyptian, Celtic, Jewish, Templar and Masonic in profusion. A star-studded ceiling, vegetative growths coming from the mouths of the Celtic Green Men, entangled pyramids, images of Moses, towers of Heavenly Jerusalem, engrailed crosses as well as squares and compasses...

    "Rosslyn was not a simple chapel; it was a post-templar shrine built to house the scrolls found by Hugues de Payen and his team under the Holy of Holies of the last Temple at Jerusalem!

    "Both classes of craftsmen must have been aware that they were rebuilding King Solomon's Temple for some strange reason (although it was actually Herod's Temple)." - 266:304-6,312

"...as it is said in Hermes, 'Satan is the door-keeper of the Temple of the King; he standeth in Solomon's porch; he holdeth the key of the Sanctuary, that no man enter therein, save the Anointed having the arcanum of Hermes'...[I]n the Kabala...the 'Anointed' who has the secrets and mysteries of Hermes, and who alone is entrusted with the key to the 'Sanctuary', the Womb of nature in order to fructify it... has become, with the Jews, Jehovah, the God of Generation...The 'Sanctuary' has become the 'Holies of Holies', and the arcanum has been anthropomorphised and PHALLICISED and dragged down into matter." - 209:233-4

"At the eastern end of the Champs Elysees is the Place de la Concorde (Square of Peace). This square was built during the 1700s. Within it [is] the obelisk of Luxor, a stone pillar from Egypt during the French Revolution [1789-1799], a guillotine [beheading machine] stood in the square. Hundreds of people, including Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were executed on it." - 215 ("Paris")

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

...and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the ABOMINATION that maketh desolate. - Dan.11:31

When ye therefore shall see the ABOMINATION of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, STAND IN THE HOLY PLACE (whoso readeth, let him understand:) then let them which be in Judea-flee into the mountains. - Matt. 24:15-16

...and from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the ABOMINATION THAT MAKETH DESOLATE set up, there shall be (1290) days. Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the (1335) days. - Dan. 12:11-12

"The keys to the biblical miracles of old, and to the phenomena of modern days; the problems of psychology, physiology, and the many 'missing links' which have so perplexed scientists of late, are all in the hands of secret fraternities. This mystery must be unveiled some day…The answers are there. They may be found on the time worn granite pages of cave-temples, on sphinxes, propylons, and obelisks. They have stood there for untold ages, and neither the rude assault of time, nor the still ruder assault of Christian hands, have succeeded in obliterating their records…. And so stand these monuments like mute forgotten sentinels on the threshold of that unseen world, whose gates are thrown open but to a few elect…they will disclose their riddles to none but the legates of those by whom they were entrusted with the MYSTERY. The cold, stony lips of the once vocal Memnon, and of these hardy sphinxes, keep their secrets well. Who will unseal them? Who of our modern, materialistic dwarfs and unbelieving Sadducees will dare to lift the VEIL of Isis?" (H.P. Blavatsky) - 394:376

    "The Egyptian obelisk has been adopted as a symbol of Masonic victory over traditional Christianity and, once recognized, serves as a very useful guide. In Egypt, the obelisk was a phallic symbol of the resurrection through procreation, that is, the phallus was the means by which man lived again through his off-spring. Thus, as a symbol of the resurrection the obelisk has been used as a grave marker by the Masons, particularly those in the senior ranks, since the sixteenth century. It seems that the bodies of most of the English humanist thinkers gravitated to Westminster Abbey in London and the place fairly bristles with obelisk tomb markers. A few cemetery obelisks will contain a Masonic square and compass to leave no doubt as to the connection but it will be found that the personal graves of many an influential man is topped by an obelisk: the grave of George Washington and of Sir John A. MacDonald, first prime minister of Canada, are classic examples. The craft Masons also tend to use the broken column as their marker but very seldom will the empty cross be found marking a Masonic grave.

    "As far as their use as victory markers, an obelisk was erected to mark the battle of the River Boyne in Northern Ireland where Protestant William of Orange defeated Catholic King James II in 1690. There is no evidence that William II was a Mason but the obelisk was erected in the following century to celebrate the victory of Protestantism over Catholicism. The Masonic organization has always opposed the Roman Church while the Roman Pontiffs have known this and have forbidden their people to join the Masonic Order. In recent years, however, Masons have infiltrated the Vatican and there now seems to be some sort of unholy alliance. The largest stone obelisk in the United States is the 550 ft. tall Washington Monument purportedly to commemorate George Washington's birth place. There was a great scandal when it was erected because it was done so at public expense and the people of the time knew its real purpose was to commemorate Masonic victory over King George III and even victory over Christianity itself in 1776. The monument was completed in 1884. Various other victories, real and perceived, will be found to be marked by obelisks such as that at Bunker Hill in Charleston. The French Revolution was even more successful than the American and they had to have an even larger obelisk to celebrate their victory. There is a genuine obelisk stolen from Egypt to mark the victory of the Bastille in Paris and then there is the daddy of them all, the Eiffel Tower, just twice as tall as the Washington Monument and completed in time for the centenary celebrations in 1889.

    "These victory markers will be found world-wide and enquiry will usually show that the loser in the battle will have been some sort of Christianity while the victory will have been a significant step towards the establishment of a Republic. For example, on a hill in Sicily there is an obelisk to commemorate the Masonic victory at Gibilrossa under Garibaldi (A Grand Orient Mason) in 1860 which led to today's Italian Republic." - 507

 

"Today, Freemasons still use a stylized resurrection ritual to raise a candidate from his 'grave' in order to make him a fully fledged Master Mason. This is done in darkness, in front of Boaz and Jachin, two eastward facing pillars that stood at the entrance of the Jerusalem Temple." - 96:5

 

"These spiritual pillars were, of course, the descendants of the pillars of the united Upper and Lower Egypt that had come down to the Community as the legendary Boaz and Jachin that had adorned the eastern gate of Solomon's Temple... The right-hand pillar is known to Freemasons as 'Jachin', who was the first high priest of the Temple, and therefore it will come as no surprise to learn that this is the priestly pillar which for the Qumranians was the embodiment of holiness embodied in the fundamental concept of 'tsedeq'." - 162:166,206-7

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. - Acts 17:29

I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. - Exodus 20:2-5

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. - Lev. 26:1

In that I command thee this day to love the LORD they God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thin heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess. - Deut. 30:16-18

And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king... And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard. - I Kings 1:43,45

THE MILLENNIUM

And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity... And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed... But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. - Ezek. 44:10,13,15,16

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

The Merovingian Priest-King [Antichrist] and the Essene priests will claim to be the Sons of Zadok of the Order of Melchizedek (Melki-Zadok).  Following the idolatrous ways of their model, King Solomon, the Essene priests will reintroduce Baal/Astoreth worship in the rebuilt Temple. In the final stages of this deception, the Essene priests and Temple prostitutes will claim to be the reincarnated High Priests and Priestesses of Atlantis sent to inaugurate the Age of the Spirit, i.e., the Golden Age .

    PRE-FLOOD ERA

 "Other souls [from Atlantis] drifted off into 'the deep sleep,' holding the sacred information within their Akashic Records until the time when history would reveal that the souls of the High Priests and Priestesses would reincarnate to rebuild Atlantis in the form of the Seventh Golden Age.  That time is now." - 45:50

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. - Ezek. 8:16

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. - Ezek. 22:26

"Finally the imagination of Ezekiel establishes the rules for the priesthood that would become the landmarks of the Essenes of Qumran. The legitimate priests of the sanctuary are to be the sons of Zadok, the erstwhile chief priest. Known to the people of Qumran as Zadokites, these sons of Zadok would wear white linen garments when they entered the inner court." - 162:181

“One noteworthy fact that is known about the Essenians is that Gomorrah and Sodom were among the places where they had established colonies … [T]oo little attention has been paid to the fact that Qumran, according to an identification formerly suggested by F. de Saulcy, was Gomorrah. Moreover, according to the evidence of Synesius of Cyrene, Dion Chrysostome (who lived between A.D. 42 and 125) ‘has also, somewhere, praised the Essenians, who constitute quite a blessed city established near the Dead Sea in the middle region of Palestine close to Sodom’. These details show us,…that, at the commencement of our era, Sodom and Gomorrah had acquired a reputation for sanctity owing to the presence of these colonies of ascetics; they also indicate that these people were Essenians.” - 230:299-300 

"[Diana's] constant symbol is the bee... The chief priest himself was called Essēn, or the king-bee." - 156:195

 

"[Diana/Artemis] was undoubtedly a representative of the same power over conception and birth that was adored in Palestine under the name Ashtoreth." - 299:484

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. - I Kings 11:5

"I also suggest in King Jesus that the two mysterious Orders of the Essenes, Sampsonians and Helicaeans, were adepts in the calendar mysteries and were named after Samson...and the Helix, or cosmic circle." - 406:150

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.  For he shall be like the heath in the DESERT, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the PARCHED PLACES IN THE WILDERNESS, in a salt land and not inhabited. - Jer. 17:5,6

    CHURCH AGE

"Alexandrian Gnostics...were the spiritual heirs of the Essenes after Hadrian had suppressed the Order in 132 A.D." - 406:150

"According to Baron de Westerode, the founder of the Rosicrucians was one Ormesius, who had been converted by St. Mark, at Alexandria, in A.D. 46. He purified the Egyptian Rites, and reconciled them with Christianity, carrying his disciples with him, and founded the Society of ORMUS, or of the Light, each member wearing a red cross. To this society the Essenes and Therapeutae joined themselves, and conserved the Masonic Secrets." - 636 (Part 3)

"The foundation of the Priory can be traced back allegedly to the gnostic adept Ormus who lived in the first century C.E.... He formed a secret society which united esoteric Christianity with the teachings of the pagan mystery schools. Ormus adopted as his symbol a cross surmounted by a rose to signify the synthesis of the new and old religions. ...Ormus, the legendary first century founder of the secret society which became the Priory of Sion lived in Alexandria." - 25:31,142

        TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

   "Whoever the Teacher of Righteousness was, he must have been a pious, holy man and apparently was a priestly descendant of Zadok, who revealed to his Community that they were living in a time that would be 'the end of days' as predicted by the old prophets. Soon, he told them, God would crush His enemies in a final cosmic battle and usher in the new age of righteousness, and as the Community was the last remnant of true Israel--the people of Yahweh's covenant--it would be they who would fight the battle and would return to Jerusalem to purify the Temple and re-institute proper worship.

    "...God, however, will save His people by the hands of two messianic figures who will arise at the end of time; one from 'the Branch of David' and the other 'the Interpreter of the Law'." - 162:201-2

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

    "If Mary of Bethany [Mary Magdalene] were really a pagan priestess, why was she anointing Jesus? More to the point, why did he allow her to do so? And are there any parallels between this ritual and those commonly associated with the paganism of that day? In fact, there is one ancient rite that is strikingly relevant: the anointing of the sacred king. The idea behind this was that a true king or priest could only receive his full divine power through the authority of the high priestess. This traditionally took the form of the hieros gamos, or sacred marriage: the king-priest uniting with the queen-priestess. It was through sexual union with her that he actually became the acknowledged king. Without her he was nothing... [I]n the sacred marriage the man and woman actually become the gods. It is the high priestess who becomes the goddess herself, who then bestows the ultimate blessing of regeneration - as in alchemy - on the man who embodies the god. Their union was believed to infuse both themselves and the world around them with a regenerative balm, and actually echo the creative impulse of the birth of the planet.
    "The hieros gamos was the ultimate expression of what is termed 'temple prostitution', where a man visited a priestess in order to receive gnosis - to experience the divine for himself through the act of lovemaking." - 242:256-7

 

    "And as Peter Redgrove explains in his 'The Black Goddess' (1989), while discussing the sexual arts of Taoism...'Mari-Ishtar, the Great Whore, anointed her consort, Tammuz, (with whom Jesus was identified) and thereby made him a Christ..." - 242:260

"In this new Aquarian Aeon of the Immortal Child which we are now entering, the Liberation of Communion is destined to develop as a principal description of the global and individual changes we shall experience. In old ways of thinking, communion is something reserved for special times and is only available from an intermediary priest. This Piscean Age attempt to limit certain times and certain situations goes against the very nature of the Christ Life which Is True Communion... The Kingdom of Infinite Life is within You. Share this infinite Kingdom with the creator and the creation through every thought, word and action. In this Way, you fulfill your role in the Aquarian Liberation of Communion. Christmas Everywhen and Easter Everywhere - the Birth of Christ and the Triumph of Christ through the Immortal Transformation of Matter: These two events are perpetual and are happening totally all the time and in every situation. Mastery of the Art of Communion makes this Truth evident and opens the Way for you to become a Co-creator involved in both the Birth and the Triumph of Immortality at all times. In the Judaic-Christian Tradition, the True Masters of Communion are known as the High Priests and High Priestesses of Melchizedek.

"Melchizedek is one of the most ancient Immortals mentioned in the Bible. One esoteric tradition suggests that he attained his Physical Immortality at the age of 52, after developing a perfect Angelic Communion with the Archangel Michael...

"The Arthurian Quest for the Holy Grail is the Quest for Perfect Communion. There is a Grail lineage and there is a Grail Communion. The lineage consists of all members of the Melchizedek Priesthood. The Grail Communion literally delivers what the outer churches symbolically offer - Christed Translation of the Physical Body Temple, or Physical Immortality." - 690

"Though Jews...[the Essenes] believed in the Western Paradise [Atlantis' Isles of the Blest]..." - 406:149

    "Other souls [from Atlantis] drifted off into 'the deep sleep,' holding the sacred information within their Akashic Records until the time when history would reveal that the souls of the High Priests and Priestesses would reincarnate to rebuild Atlantis in the form of the Seventh Golden Age.  That time is now.

    "The High Priests and Priestesses from Atlantis have risen. The souls of these beings who ruled Atlantis have reincarnated and are remembering what this electromagnetic grid was and what it stands for. Even now, they are traveling the world creating a NEW grid matrix for Earth.

    "Atlantis IS rising, just as the great 'sleeping prophet' Edgar Cayce prophesied decades ago. This time, the purpose of the priesthood is to assist Earth to enter the Fifth Dimension.

    "For the past several years, these souls (representing the Order of Melchizedek) have been actively involved in establishing a new electromagnetic grid, situated this time not under the Earth, but approximately three to four feet above its surface. Much of the old grid has been destroyed or desecrated, making it virtually unusable for the new world that is coming. Therefore, sacred sites are being created all over the world as energy fields to support the new matrix." - 45:50-51

 PERSONAL APPLICATION

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament... But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. Heb. 7:22-28

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;  From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith... Heb. 10:10-14

Seeing then that we have A GREAT HIGH PRIEST, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.  Heb. 4:1-4

PROGRAM OF SATANIC DUPLICATION

Pre-Flood Era: The Gnostics view Seth as the first monastic.

Old Testament Period: Occultic monasticism began in pagan religions.

Church Age: Monasticism merged with Christianity; monasteries became fronts for occult activity, sexual perversion and the promotion of asceticism.

Tribulation: Satan will have a counterfeit 144,000 who are monastics and who will introduce ascetic values and gnostic teachings such as androgyny.

Great Tribulation: The Antichrist will commission the 144,000 monastics to conduct the Luciferic rites of initiation globally.

Projection: A strong candidate for False Prophet is Bishop Kallistos Ware, former Anglican theologian who converted to Eastern Orthodoxy and resides at the Monastery of St John on Patmos Island.

PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS

    PROGRAM OF GOD

TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. - Rev. 7:3-8

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.  And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.  And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. - Rev. 14:1-5

THE MILLENNIUM

But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. - Ezek. 44:15,16

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

Following the destruction of the Roman Church at mid-Tribulation, demons will be teaching their doctrines in monastic communities and other ascetic settings.  A counterfeit 144,000 will be presented to the world as monks of the Nazarene or Essene communities; these will be reported to have attained perfection and been deified. The counterfeit 144,000 will pose as members of the Order of Melchizedek who are androgynous and immortal. The Age of the Spirit will be ushered in by the counterfeit 144,000 monastics. The true 144,000 are the twelve tribes of Israel minus the Tribe of Dan and adds Joseph. (Rev. 7) The false 144,000 will be the Tribe of Dan.

        PRE-FLOOD ERA

"In the number given by the Bible for the antediluvian patriarchs...[t]en are mentioned in the Book of Genesis... The legends of the Iranian race commence with the reign of ten Peisdadien (Poseidon?) kings, 'men of the ancient law, who lived on pure Homa (water of life) and who preserved their sanctity'." - 635:27 (Chap. III)

The Valentinians...regarded Seth as the first of the race of the perfect ones, the spiritual in opposition to the material (Cain) and Abel (the psychic)... His sons were to be the 'Sons of God', who, upon Mount Hermon, led a pious and secluded life cherishing the nostalgia for Paradise." - 230:39, ff.97

"...the severe monks and nuns of Buddhistic Thibet recognize but the sacred trinity of the three cardinal virtues: Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, professed by Christians, practiced by the Buddhists, and some Hindus alone." (H.P. Blavatsky) - 195:49 (Vol II)

    "In accordance with the Hermetic principle of 'As above, so below', the combined ground-plan of the Notre Dame cathedrals replicates the Virgo constellation....

    "The 'Notre Dame' cathedrals...were mainly the work of the 'Children of Solomon'--a guild of masons instructed by St. Bernard's Cistercian Order." - 29:264, 66

 

    "Let us hear what Niccolini [of Rome] has to say, in his able History of the Jesuits, of the modern mysteries of the Christian cloister.

    "'In most monasteries, and more particularly in those of the Capuchins and reformed (reformati), there begins at Christmas a series of feasts, which continues till Lent. All sorts of games are played, the most splendid banquets are given, and in the small towns, above all, the refectory of the convent is the best place of amusement for the greater number of the inhabitants. At carnivals, two or three very magnificent entertainments take place; the board so profusely spread that one might imagine that Copia had here poured forth the whole contents of her horn. It must be remembered that these two orders live by alms. (ff. And begged in the name of Him who had nowhere to lay his head!) The sombre silence of the cloister is replaced by a confused sound of merry-making, and its gloomy vaults now echo with other songs than those of the psalmist. A ball enlivens and terminates the feast; and, to render it still more animated, and perhaps to show how completely their vow of chastity has eradicated all their carnal appetite, some of the young monks appear coquettishly dressed in the garb of the fair sex, and begin the dance, along with others, transformed into gay cavaliers. To describe the scandalous scene which ensues would be but to disgust my readers. I will only say that I have myself often been a spectator at such saturnalia.'" - 195:365-66

 

"The Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls speak of a battle that will be fought in 'the final days' between the sons [and daughters] of Light and the sons [and daughters] of darkness. This is called the Battle of Armageddon. The vision from thousands of years ago reveals that a total of seven battles will be fought--the first three battles being won by the sons of darkness and the next three by the sons of Light. The final battle--the seventh--will be won, after a tremendous struggle, by the sons of Light. With this victory, peace and prosperity will reign on Earth for one thousand years ...

"The Children of Light have returned to Earth and are gearing up for the final four battles, for the first three have been won by the sons and daughters of darkness...

"One must look with the Third Eye into the soul to see their auras emanating from within. When one acquires this vision, it is easy to to see these beings of Light, for there are one million of them walking among the masses. They are the reincarnated High Priests and Priestesses of the former six Golden Ages, the reborn Saints, the Pharoahs, and the risen Atlantean Masters who have embodied once again to bring the Light and higher truths to the world... These beings have an unfaltering vision and know clearly that the Battle of Armageddon is not lost, but already is won in the etheric. Atlantis HAS risen, as the 'sleeping prophet' Edgar Cayce predicted so many decades ago. It has risen through the souls of these Ascended Masters...

"[They] have lived simple, uncomplicated lives and learned, like the Buddha, what enlightenment is...

"By example and through teachings, these souls will once again instruct in the new mystery schools..

"...When they did embody, they often chose roles as monks, nuns, priests, priestesses, lamas, yogis, or other spiritual rulers. Most were Atlantean Masters more than 10,00 years ago...

"The Starseeds, destined to awaken fully, are beginning to move into leadership positions that will help the world and humanity evolve spiritually, Some even comprise the membership of the 144,000 written about in the Book of Revelation... They will...bring abundance, peace, and prosperity to Earth. They will accomplish this through mastery of Universal Laws, the same laws that they all have learned and taught in the mystery schools through thousands of years of incarnations." - 45:41-7

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

"There were monks long before Christianity. Fifteen hundred years before Jesus came, there were monks in India. Most non-Christian religions have known some form of monastic life.

"The oldest monasticism, practised in Hinduism, was not unified in its expression. There were many anchorites: hermits living in the forests, ascetics wandering here and there begging their food. The former sometimes had their wives living with them in their hermitages, but they lived in chastity. The latter broke all connection with society and lived by begging. However there were some monasteries...

"In Buddhism monasticism represented a summit. Buddhism is essentially a monastic religion which, in its highest degree, can only be practised by monks. The Buddha thought of salvation as a liberation from suffering and the passions: one has to eliminate all desire in order to be reunited with the Absolute. Only monks can do this. There are then monks who seek this Absolute through meditation, and non-monks who acquire merits by enabling the monks to live...

"In Europe, the Mediterranean religions of antiquity had virgin priestesses: the Pythia of Delphi, the Roman vestal virgins, vowed to chastity at least for a time, but this was understand in a physical rather than a moral way. Among the Greek philosophers, there were also modes of life similar to that of monks. In the first half of the sixth century BC, Pythagoras founded a sort of community which one entered through different degrees of initiation. However there was, on the whole, no practice of sexual ascesis." - 817 ("Prehistory")

"...Egypt,[17] where, as it was the country in which the monastic life originated, the most famous monasteries existed, and the most illustrious Anchorites were to be found." - 615   ("Prolegomena (History) of Cassian")

        CHURCH AGE

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;  Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. I Tim. 4:1-3

    "Athanasius divides Christians into three groups, according to whether they practice 'virginity', 'self-control', or 'the harmony of marriage'. The first seems to include both men and women who have renounced sexual activity altogether. If the third group is made up of those who have sexual intercourse within marriage, then the ill-defined group ('those who love the way of self-control') might include single persons planning to be married; married persons who have renounced sexual relations, whether permanently or for a time; or widows...

    "Sexual intercourse within marriage was permitted for the purpose of procreation, but 'relations of pleasure' were forbidden. The bishop called this way of life one of 'withdrawing from the desires of the flesh'." - 597:172,175

"Antony of Egypt (251-356): ascetic Brother of the sun-god and founder of Eastern monasticism. Demons permeate his legend. He passed one of his sheepskin cloaks to Athanasius, spiritual head of desert hermits and Ethiopia, Bishop of Alexandria, father of Orthodoxy... Antony’s feast day, Jan.17, would become sacred to the Merovingians and their Sion Organization, which convents were historically convened Jan.17 in honor of Antony’s success at infiltrating the Christian world." - 550

"In order to safeguard Templar interests, David Seton reconstituted the Scottish Order [Knights Templar] of St Anthony. At the same time, he dispensed with the traditional red 'Cross Pate', substituting the 'Tau' symbol (T), the Cross of St. Anthony, as the new badge of knighthood. (St Anthony [CAD 300] was the founder of Christian monasticism in Egypt.) - 92:117

"Dr. Joyce in his Social History of Ancient Ireland records that in times of persecution Egyptian monks often fled to Ireland; and that one Palladius was sent from Rome to become a bishop of the Irish Christians long before the arrival of St. Patrick." - 406:150

"...Dagobert was abducted at the age of five and taken to a monastery near Dublin, where he was educated and later married a Celtic princess Matilde." - 482:328

"The Merovingian Franks (450-741) built monasteries as a means of infiltration... for Merovingian monasteries later became Benedictine/ Cistercians... St. Meltius [was] sent to evangelize England along with 40 monks of St. Andrews by Pope Gregory the Great, their founder... Gregory promoted Benedictine monasticism. [H]is feast day is the day he became pope, September 3. This was accomplished by the infiltration of the Church, for Gregory was part of that infiltration. Sept. 3 became a day of victory for the Red Movement when he was installed as their pope, for Gregory marks the history of the papacy in that he was the very first 'MONK' to become a pope." - 550

"The rule of St. Columbanus and of Benedict in Europe were developed into major monastic communities by the Merovingians who provided not only the monasteries themselves, but charters granting them complete exemption from episcopal and secular intervention, making them fully and completely autonomous. Merovingians of ancient Egypt had thus assured the continuity of Egyptian error. Gibbons hits the nail on the head when he writes, 'Swarms of monks arose from the Nile, overspread and darkened the Christian world'..." - 550

    "Like most Merovingian monasteries Glastonbury became a Benedictine Monastery. And the purpose of Merovingian monasteries was 'infiltration' based on the belief that the best way to crush the Church was from 'within.' According to Butler, the world’s authority on saints, 'Neither Bede, Gildas, Nennius, Geoffrey of Monmouth, the authentic William of Malmesbury, nor any other chronicler for eleven hundred years, do we find any trace of the supposed coming of Joseph of Arimathea to Glastonbury.' (Butler’s Lives of the Saints, Vol 1, p. 618 ). Butler states that a book which chronicles the supposed coming of Joseph to Glastonbury was penned by another hand a century later and prefixed to Malmesbury’s 'De Antiquitate Glastonienses Ecclesiae.' There is no doubt in my mind that this would have been the work of the Cistercians, founded by Benedictine monks as 'the ratchet' for the structural organization of Sion. Joseph of Arimathea is alone associated with the Grail legend and the Quest of the Grail legends, which per Colliers Encyclopedia, are dominated by the mystical symbolism of Cistercians, illustrations of which give triangular geometry and double-headed trees...

    "More than any heretical Merovingian organizations, the Cistercians personified the banality of evil at its finest. The name Cistercian and of their first monastery, Citeaux derive from Cistus, of the Cistaceae or Rockrose family resembling the wild rose and cultivated in the Mediterranean. The Myrrh with which Mary Magdalene anointed the Body of Jesus also comes from the Cistus family. And they had chosen the Magdalene as the sinful Mary...assigning her the symbol of the Rose and Cross in memory of the Brotherhood of the Sun founded by Akhenaten who had taken as its symbol the Rose and Cross (Lewis). Cistercians were Rosicrucians. And this Rosicrucian order of monks would triumph in its infiltration of the Church."  - 550

 

    "In 1204, Bernard’s Cistercians founded what would later be named a Jansenist center in Port Royal near Versailles. The dark and gloomy pessimism of the Jansenist heresy, given this name later when it was developed by Janssens (d.1698) and condemned by the Church, was a precursor of Calvinism and sparked the conflict between Jansenists and Jesuits...

    "Bernard of Clairvaux had single-handedly done what the Conspiracy had attempted for centuries. He not only established the most heretical form of monasticism which spread throughout all Europe to the New World, but he infiltrated the Church at its highest level, initiated the Crusades, wrote the rule of /controlled the Templars, and, by virtue of the impact of all the above, one can attribute both Calvinism and the Reformation to Bernard of Clairvaux. One can even attribute the continuation of the mandate of Freemasonry to Bernard of Clairvaux, since the disaster he had created through the Crusades led to the arrest and execution of his no longer needed 'Templars' which, in turn, created the climate of revenge which festered through the centuries to the present age. Templars had provided the political clout and the finances that this Brotherhood needed to succeed. The New World was the product of that success. The Merovingian Cathar Brothers had scored in a major way with their monk, Bernard of Clairvaux and accordingly, they saw to it that Bernard went down in the annals of the Church in a major way." - 550

 

"Bernard [of Clairvaux] soon rose to a position of incontestable leadership in the Church of his time. He became personal advisor to the pope and exerted great influence in purely temporal affairs, dealing with kings, emperors and nobility. His deep commitment to initiatory teaching is made clear by the 120 sermons he preached based on the Song of Songs by King Solomon. He extended this teaching by enhancing the spiritual tradition of the branch of the Compagnonnage, or Craftmasons, known as the Children of Solomon." - 266:95

"[Beginning] [i]n 1203...all the Celtic abbacies became Cistercian." - 92:32

“Christianity early learned the value of socialism which is also known as monasticism.” - 653:126

“As Marx explained in the Communist Manifesto: 'Nothing is easier than to give Christian asceticism a Socialist tinge. Has not Christianity declaimed against private property, against marriage, against the State? Has it not preached, in the place of these, charity and poverty, celibacy and mortification of the flesh, monastic life and Mother Church.'” - 652

"In the coming kingdom, hierarchies, like gentile kings lording it over their administrators and these over their subjects will not apply. For the Nazarenes, greatness is service-and so it will be in God's kingdom. The communism of the Essenes will extend into the kingdom, not surprisingly since they considered that they had already started to build it on earth." - 593

"According to Henry Solly (1813-1903), who was a Unitarian minister, the Christian Socialist Movement actually came from John Malcolm Ludlow who, while in Paris during the 1848 revolution, was greatly influenced by the movement in Paris. Ludlow then influenced F.D. Maurice who took up the banner and became a leader of the movement in England...

"Following the publication of the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels and the introduction of Christian Socialism by Maurice and his associates, it was clear to Maurice that 'Christian Socialism' would be the far more palatable of the two proposals to the general public in England. Thus, Maurice proposed the concept of 'Christian Communism' in the 'New Moral World' in a letter to Ludlow:

    'I think they should be made to feel that Communism, in whatever sense it is a principle of the New Moral World, is a most important principle of the old world, and that every monastic institution--properly so called--was a Communist institution to all intents and purposes. The idea of Christian Communism has been a most vigorous and generative one in all ages, and must be destined to a full development in ours.'" - 737:142

"Of all the people [Robert] Muller met at the United Nations, it was Secretary-General U Thant, a Buddhist, who left the deepest impression on his life. 'I discovered for U Thant there was no difference between spirituality, religion and life. I studied Buddhism to understand him better. He was able to teach me what my Catholic priest had always told me, but at that time I hadn't listened... I began to read the mystics and understood much more about this new dimension of life-consciousness... I was made a member of the East-West Monastic Board... I found that most monastic orders are organized on the basis of U Thant's cherished four categories of human needs and qualities: physical, mental, moral and spiritual. I learned that he was a monk himself... [H]e acted as a kind of monk in the United Nations.'" - 33:201-2

"In June of 1980, the...Temple of Understanding...sponsor(ed) the formation of a World Monastic Council... - to be an international network of monks, nuns, scholars, theologians and laity from... both East and West, who would work together to create...the global society of the future to work for the awakening of spiritual consciousness (godhood)," - 24:83

 

    "I discovered that [Mother Teresa] had taken money from rich dictators like the Duvalier gang in Haiti, had been a friend of poverty rather than a friend of the poor, had never given any account of the huge sums of money donated to her...
    "Actually, it's boasting to say that I 'discovered' any of this. It was all there in plain sight for anyone to notice. But in the age of celebrity, nobody had troubled to ask if such a global reputation was truly earned or was simply the result of brilliant public relations.
    "'Wait a minute,' said a TV host in Washington a few nights ago, when I debated all this with Mr John Donahue of the Catholic Defence League. 'She built hospitals.' No, sir, you wait a minute.
    "Mother Teresa was given, to our certain knowledge, many tens of millions of pounds. But she never built any hospitals. She claimed to have built almost 150 convents, for nuns joining her own order, in several countries. Was this where ordinary donors thought their money was going?
    "Furthermore, she received some of this money from the Duvaliers, and from Mr Charles Keating of the notorious Lincoln Savings and Loan of California, and both these sources had acquired the money by - how shall I put it? - borrowing money from the poor and failing to give it back." - 643

 

"London, 24 November (ENI)--The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr  George Carey, has backed a call for more Anglican monks and nuns, saying they 'witness to values which are so often scorned in our society'. He described the traditional monastic vows of poverty, chastity and obedience as 'a threefold protest against the tyranny of materialism, sexual idolatry and unbridled individualism which oppress so many today'.

    "The Anglican leader, who is the spiritual head of the Church of England and of the world-wide Anglican Communion, was addressing the church's ruling general synod on 17 November during a debate about religious communities. - 725

 

"SENIOR Church of England clergy are to join Druids and pagans at a controversial conference designed to help 'reconcile' the traditions, much to the alarm of Church leaders. The conference, Spirit of the Land 2000, is described as ‘a Christian-Druid dialogue and reconciliation meeting for the new Millennium’. It is being held against a background of growing interest in New Age religion and white magic...

"According to one of the speakers, a number of clergy already participated in joint Christian and pagan services, but there was still too much ignorance and hostility. Mark Graham, of the Pagan Federation, which represents Druidry, wicca and shamanism, said: 'Some pagans believe in magic, just like some Christians believe in the power of prayer and miracles.

"'We celebrate our connectedness to nature and I will sometimes dance naked around a fire. They aren't doing much dancing around a fire naked at matins or evensong but perhaps they should. Perhaps they will like it.'" - 271

        TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

"With regard to Rev. 14:4 ('Those are they that are not defiled with women; for they are virgins') [Georg] Coeppen asserts, 'Here the new androgynous form of existence becomes visible. Christianity is neither male nor female, it is male-female in the sense that the male paired with the female in Jesus' soul. In Jesus the tension and polaristic strife of sex are resolved in an androgynous unity.  And the Church, as his heir, has taken this over from him; She too is androgynous.'" - 146:281

"With regard to those who receive this gracious gift, Krivocheine gives the thought of Symeon: While remaining a spiritually conscious state and clearly felt by the one who receives it, divinization will always remain an awesome mystery, surpassing all human understanding and unobserved by most people. Indeed, the ones who are granted it are rare, although all the baptized are called to it. It is their fault if they deprive themselves of it.'" - 579

"In Joachim's prophetic expectation there was to be no Third Testament, no supersession [sic] of the Church, but its translation onto a new spiritual plane... To make the transition to the final status, the Church, he prophesied, would be led by two new orders of 'spiritual men', one dedicated to preaching and the other a hermit order, following the contemplative life but finally descending to a fiery preaching." - 256:8

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

"Irenaeus ('Heresies'Vol. 302), Hippolytus ('De Christo et Antichristo', pp. 14,15), and other Church fathers have a tradition which can not but be of Jewish origin, that the Antichrist comes from the tribe of Dan, and base it upon Jer. VIII.16: 'The snorting of his (the enemies) his horses was heard from Dan'... Irenaeus remarks that Dan is, in view of this tradition, not in the Apocalypse (Rev.vii.5-7) among the 144,000 saved ones of the twelve tribes. Nor is the omission of Dan in I Chron. iv. et seq. unintentional... Dan became the very type of evildoing. He was placed in the north (Num.ii.25), this being the region of darkness and evil (Jer. i.14) because of his idolatry which wrapped the world in darkness (Num.ii.)" (Jewish Encyclopedia, "Dan") - 259:423

See: Secret Societies/Esoteric Church: Antichrist 15.B

"In his book The Global Brain, Peter Russell likened the human family on earth to the cells in the body. If one-tenth of one-percent were astute, the whole body would be awakened, he said. Likewise, 144,000 was chosen as the critical mass necessary to illuminate the entire body of beings on earth." - 35:216

"Ushered in by monastics, the Age of the Spirit would bring the conversion of the Jews and Gentiles, union of the Greek and Roman churches, overthrow of Antichrist, and inauguration of the Sabbath of God." - 234:539

 

"... The name [Melchizedek] itself is originally spelled Melki-Tsedeq, which means the Tsaddik of Malkuth. In English, this is translated as the Just Adept of the Earth. The Tsaddik is one who has adjusted his or her Being to a point of perfect harmony while Living on the Earth. In the Hassidic tradition, there are always 36 Tsaddiks on the earth at all times. When the process of Tiqqun, or material ascension, is complete, then Messiah appears as the 37th Tsaddik.

"These 36 Tsaddiks are Perfect Heart-Masters, are physically Immortal, and are thus forever able to offer the Communion of the Grail... [T]he 36 Tsaddiks maintain the planetary grid which grounds the solar-666 force which is Christing Gaia. In Cabala, the term which describes the work of the Tsaddiks, Tiqqun, also has the value 666. Tiqqun means the translation of all matter into Union with the Immortal Frequencies of the Divine - this brings us back to our theme of Communion. For True Communion always has as its Divine Purpose the Total Transformation of Matter in a Way that Glorifies Aliveness, Liberty, Light & Love. This is forever the Work of the Heart Master.

"Each of the 36 Tsaddik Heart Masters is responsible for giving Immortal Grail Communion to 4000 individuals. This is how the number 144,000 is generated out of the Heart, for 36 × 4000 = 144,000. This number has been associated with the planetary changes initiated by Harmonic Convergence in August of 1987. To fulfill the prophecy of Annalee Skarin, we are now in the process of creating over a hundredfold increase in Immortals on the earth.

"At the present time the original 36 Heart Masters are focused in 12 groups of 3, each triune group acting as midwife at each of the 12 primary Gates of the New Jerusalem - 12 specific sacred sites which are giving birth to the New Aeon. One Child is emerging from 12 wombs... When this 12-womb birth is manifested and rooted, then the 36 Tsaddiks shift locations so that there is one Tsaddik at each of 36 distinct sacred sites. Within the next 30 to 40 years each Tsaddik shall have initiated a minimum of 4000 individuals into Mastery of the Way of Everlasting Life - Physical Immortality. The 144,000 are all now alive, incarnate. Rituals conducted in the Andes - at Lake Titicaca and Machu Picchu - on the Wesak Full Moon in May 1987 were specifically dedicated to Blessing the Birth of these 144,000." - 690 

"[According to mystic monk, Joachim of Fiore (1145-1202) ...the third age [or Age of the Spirit] would be one of love, joy, and freedom, when the knowledge of God would be revealed directly in the hearts of all men... Then the world would be one vast monastery, in which all men would be contemplative monks rapt in mystical ecstasy... And this new version of the kingdom of the Saints would endure until the last judgment." - 243:108

 

"...a man was regarded as 'dead' when excommunicated - spiritual death by decree... In this regard, Jesus had been formally denounced by the Sanhedrin Council of legal elders, by the High Priest Caiaphas, and by the new Father, Jonathan Annas... The only way to escape 'death' on the fourth day was to be released from the excommunication ('raised') by the Father or the High Priest... The only man who might presume to undertake the rite was the deposed Father...  Nazarenes never preached the Resurrection...

"...both the Zadok and Davidic lines were strictly dynastic, and when John the Baptist died he left no successor. Jesus...promoted himself as such at what came to be called the Transfiguration. But it was not until the Ascension that [Jesus'] priesthood was formalized, on being 'carried  to the Kingdom of Heaven' (the high monastery) to become a High Priest." - 29:96-7, 177

PERVERSIONS

Revelation 14:4

KJV - These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are VIRGINS.

NASB - ...for they are CELIBATE [celibacy - not married, single]

NIV - ...for they kept themselves PURE

PERSONAL APPLICATION

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;  Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. I Tim. 4:1-3

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?  Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. Col 2:18-23

PROJECTION

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. - Rev. 13:11-18
 

BISHOP KALLISTOS (TIMOTHY) WARE

 

Kallistos Ware is a monk of the Monastery of St John on Patmos Island, a Bishop of the gnostic Eastern Orthodox Church and the "foremost authority on Orthodoxy".  Formerly an Anglican theologian but presently a lecturer at Oxford University (of Druid origin), Kallistos Timothy Ware is a major figure in the interfaith / ecumenical movement.  He has shared platforms with the Dalai Lama (Buddhist High Priest), Benedictine Dom Laurence Freeman of the John Main Institute, J.I. Packer and Richard Neuhaus (authors of the ECT Document), Harold O.J. Brown and other Catholic and Evangelical priests and apologists. Kallistos Ware is a member of the Merovingian Vere bloodline.

 

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. - Rev. 13:11

    "Consecrated Bishop of Diokleia in 1982, Bishop Kallistos is well known for his popular books about Eastern Orthodox faith and practice and has been hailed as 'perhaps the 20th century's foremost authority on Orthodoxy' by the Russian Orthodox press. Bishop Kallistos serves in the diocese of Thyatira of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

    "Bishop Kallistos Ware is a resident of Oxford, England. A British native, he left the Anglican Church and converted to Greek Orthodoxy in 1958. Timothy Ware's first contact with Orthodoxy was as a 17- year-old who 'by chance or divine providence' attended an Orthodox vigil service already in progress and immediately felt a sense of 'belonging' although he could not understand the language. He was ordained to the priesthood at age 32 and took monastic vows at St. John the Theologian monastery on the Greek island of Patmos.

    "Before retiring last year, His Grace was the Spalding Lecturer in Eastern Orthodox Studies at the University of Oxford, where he had completed his own studies in Greek and Latin. His Grace also was a fellow of Pembroke College at Oxford. Active in work for Christian unity, His Grace was a member of the Anglican Orthodox Joint Doctrinal Discussions from 1973-84 and spent five years in the mid 1990s as co-chairman of the Preparatory Commission for the Orthodox Methodist Theological Dialogue. He has written three books, including The Orthodox Church, and has translated three major Greek liturgical works. The first of an eight-volume set of his own collected works, entitled The Inner Kingdom, was recently published." - 662

 

    "Bishop Kallistos of Diokleia (Timothy Ware) will lead the John Main Seminar 2002. He is a member of the Monastery of St. John the Theologian, Patmos, Greece and one of the Assistant Bishops of the Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain (under the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople).

    "Since 1966, Bishop Kallistos has taught in the Faculty of Theology at Oxford University and is a past chairman of the board of the theology department in Oxford. Active in work for Christian unity, among his many charisms, Bishop Kallistos also speaks French. His books include 'The Orthodox Church' and 'The Orthodox Way', and he is co-translator of 'The Philokalia'. His latest book is 'The Inner Kingdom', published in 2000.

    "The World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM) is an international community that practices and teaches meditation in the Christian tradition in over 60 countries, some 25 meditation centres and a large number of meditation groups, including just under 200 in Canada.

    "The John Main Seminar is the Community's premiere annual event held in honour of Dom John Main (1926-1982), the inspiration and founder of The World Community for Christian Meditation.

Callisto - "Most beautiful; a title of Artemis as totemic She-Bear and mother of Arcas, the Little Bear." (Greek Myth) / kallistos - 663

 

CALLISTO (2)   f   Roman Mythology
Roman form of KALLISTO. A moon of Jupiter bears this name. - 664

 

KALLISTO   f   Greek Mythology, Ancient Greek
Derived from Greek kallistos meaning "most beautiful". In Greek mythology Kallisto was a nymph who was loved by Zeus. She was changed into a she-bear by Hera, and subsequently became the Great Bear constellation. This was also an ancient Greek personal name. - 665

"In Greek mythology Callisto, daughter of King Lycaon (wolf), was chosen as a young child to be one of Artemis's companions. Now Artemis was Apollo's sister, patroness of childbirth and protector of babies and of suckling animals. The one thing she prized above all was her chastity; she even asked Zeus for eternal virginity, which he granted.

"Artemis gathered about her a number of young nymphs. Reflecting her own vows of chastity, she also required complete fidelity from these young women (girls actually, who would grow into womanhood). One of these was Callisto. 

"Zeus had the habit of seducing young maidens, and eventually he got around to Callisto. When Artemis discovered that Callisto was pregnant, she took her revenge. Artemis loved to hunt; she would take her revenge in the chase. So she changed Callisto into a bear...

"So Artemis's plan was to have Callisto, as a bear, hunted down and killed. But Zeus took pity, and sent Callisto to the heavens, keeping the same form of a bear. Her son Arcas would grow up to be the ancestral founder of the Arcadians, before he too joined his mother in the heavens as Ursa Minor." - 666

"Occultly, [lycanthropy] means the same as 'were-wolf', the psychological faculty of certain sorcerers to appear as wolves." - 316:193-4

 

"The Anglo-Saxons called [January] the wulfmonath, the wolf month, and many European sightings of 'werewolves' take place during this season." - 668

 

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. - Matt 7:15

    "In his book Outer Gateways Kenneth Grant writes: 'In The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, the authors reproduce the family crest of Clan Plantard, the contemporary representative of which was, until recently, the Grand Master of the Prieure de Sion, an Order which, according to Lincoln, dominated the Order of the Knights Templar and various other highly influential institutions which, at certain periods of history, included the Vatican. The crest which supplies the key to the Current represented by the Merovingian bloodline and the Order of Sion, comprises the symbols of the Typhonian line of descent: the two bears, eleven bees, and the fleur de lys. The motto incorporated in the crest reads 'et in Arcadia ego.' Arcadia = 127, which is the number of the Egyptian Goddess Heqt who was typified by the 'lower part of the back, or haunch.' The two bears denote the Mother (Typhon) and her son (Set)...

    "In the Typhonian Tradition the Bear is the constellation of Ursa Major. The stars must be aligned in a specific way in order for Set to be properly invoked. To the Priory of Sion (the secret, occult organization dedicated to preserving the Merovingian Bloodline), the Bear was an animal of the Goddess Diana. According to Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, the authors of The Templar Revelation, '...the Merovingian kings, from their founder Merovee to Clovis (who converted to Christianity in 496) were 'pagan kings of the cult of Diana'.' Picknet and Prince got this information from the Dossiers Secrets of the Priory of Sion." - 571

 

    “According to Peter Dawkins, in his book on the English Arcadian Academy;

    “Arcadia was presided over by shepherds, and Pan was the great God of Arcadia…arcadia comes from the word Arcas – the son of Zeus & Callisto. Callisto is the Great Bear & Arcas is the Little Bear in astronomical terms, and in Greek Mythology. These stars circumnavigate the North Pole Star – which esoterically is the symbol of high Kingship... the Bear is a ‘veil’ to a real name, which means shepherd. It is where the sheep (ie initiates) and shepherds (adepts & Masters) come from...” - 573

 

    "The theme of 'Arcadia' was prominent in Elizabethan literature, and it appears in the works of writers such as Edmund Spenser, Sir Phillip Sidney, and even Shakespeare, for whom the word was synonymous with the Golden Age."
    "The word Arcadia comes from Arkas, patron god of that area of Greece, the son of the nymph Callisto, sister of the huntress Artemis.... In legend, the Merovingians were said to be descended from the Trojans; and Homer reports that Troy was founded by a colony of Arcadians. The 'Prieure documents' claim that the Arcadians were descended from Benjamites driven out of Palestine by their fellow Israelites for idolatry. 'Arcadia' was also known to as the source of the River Alphaeus, the 'underground stream' which figures so prominently in Coleridge's poetry and in esoteric literature. The Merovingians were 'sacred kings' who reigned but did not rule, leaving the secular governing function to chancellors known as the Mayors of the Palace. It was the one of the Mayors, Pepin the Fat, who founded the dynasty that came to supplant them - the Carolingians." - 574

 

"The Sicambrians, ancestors of the Franks, were known as the 'people of the Bear' for their worship of the bear-goddess Arduina. The word 'Arcadia' comes from Arkas, patron god of that area of Greece, the son of the nymph Callisto, sister of the huntress Artemis. Callisto's constellation is also known to many as Ursa Major, the Great Bear.

"The name 'Arthur' comes from the Celtic arth, related to 'Ursus' -- namely, 'bear.' In legend, the Merovingians were said to be descended from the Trojans, and Homer reports that Troy was founded by a colony of Arcadians." - 491

"Galileo's orbital tour of Jupiter's 16 moons, focusing on the four majors - Io, the most volcanically-active body known; frozen Ganymede, largest moon in the Solar System with a surface temperature of  minus 150 degrees; Callisto, Ganymede's crater-scarred twin; and Europa, icy world with a possible sub-surface ocean that may contain extra-terrestrial life.  Jupiter and its moons are a mini solar system." - 667

"According to the ancient Greek treatise, THE ILIAD, by Homer, the founder of Troy was named Dar-dan-us. The name is strikingly familiar. It contains the name of Dan! It was said that Dardanus was the son of Zeus. Dardanus had a son named Erichthonius, who had a son named Tros, who was the namesake of the ancient Trojans and of their capital city, Troy.

"Tros had three sons, Ilus, Ganymede, and Assaracus. Priam, the reigning king of the Trojans, was of the line of Ilus. Aeneas, founder of the Roman Empire, as a prince of the royal house of Assaracus. Ganymede was the great-grandson of Dardanus, the founder of Troy. According to Homer's ILIAD (Book V), 4. Zeus kidnapped the prince, Ganymede. Zeus wanted Ganymede to be a special cup-bearer to the gods (which may be a clue to the origin of the legend of the so-called Holy Grail).

"The ILIAD does not relate how Zeus carried off Ganymede, but there is an ancient Roman mosaic showing Ganymede, the Trojan prince, being carried off by Zeus, who had taken the form of an eagle! Here is a possible clue to connect the progenitors of the ancient Trojans with the tribe of Dan, who had adopted the eagle as their insignia." - 127:103

"In the Psalter of Cashel it states that: 'The Tuatha de Danaan ruled in Ireland for about two centuries, and were highly skilled in architecture and other arts from their long residence in Greece'. The Tuatha de Danaan were the descendants, son of Belus, who went with his fifty daughters to Argos, the home of his ancestrous Io. In Irish legends the Tuatha de Danaan, who were considered to be demigods,...were said to have possessed a...Grail-like vessel... These teachers of Wisdom...were the founders of the Druidic priesthood." - 258:142
