Introduction:
I just wanted to give a brief introduction to who I am and where Im coming from. Ive been a Christian for over 30 years and the Lord has had me interested in mostly prophetic and last day events. Im far from being an expert in all things prophetic but I believe that I have a pretty good knowledge as to what is happening in the world. I dont have a seminary degree, although, I did take a few courses several years ago. I take my Bible seriously and believe it is the true Word of God. I also believe that Jesus is the manifestation of God in flesh and that He is 100% God and 100% Human coexisting. I also believe that we are in the last days and can expect the rapture of the church to be at any moment. Maybe even before I finish this. This book isnt going to be a complete and exhaustive writing. I know several Christian people that are just not into reading in-depth and long books. But, what I do hope to accomplish is to make this interesting enough to spark an interest where you will seek out and do your own study. Also, I hope that is you are a non-believer reading this that just maybe the Lord will touch your heart and you will make an honest effort to seek God into your life. Each chapter will be consisting of information related to a particular topic which I believe is pointing towards the last days, the soon Rapture of the Church and the return of Jesus Christ. There will be enough information in each chapter, hopefully, to stimulate your interest to do your own Internet search on these topics to formulate your own conclusion. I will try to make this as easy to understand as possible (if I can understand it than anybody can) and provide pictures and diagrams to help you understand and see why I have come to the conclusion that I have. Even for the skeptic or nonbeliever after reading the information contained in the different chapters of this book, I'm sure that you will have to take notice and wonder what is going on in the world today. Whether you believe these things are happening in our world today or not the people involved believe in what's happening and how they are manipulating the world to an Anti-Christ, New World Order. I will be making several Scripture references, but I will also include most of the Scriptures with those references to save you time from having to look them up in your own Bibles. I would still suggest that you look them up at your convenience so that you can read the Scriptures preceding and the Scriptures after to get the full context of the Scripture that I quote. Although I will also be making reference to several Internet websites that you can go online and read or listen to or even watch on YouTube, I do understand that there is a possibility

of websites going off-line, so I will try to include as much text as I can from the website that I'd cite. As far as audio or video websites, if they go off-line there's nothing I can do about that. Hopefully these video sites will stay up. But, Im sure that if you search YouTube or through your favorite internet search engine such as Google, you will be able to find related audio and video to the topics discussed. As far as search engines go, I recommend StartPage at https://www.startpage.com/ that is private and secure. Please try to make your own in-depth study as you go through each chapter of this book. Don't take what I am telling you as the truth, just do your own study so that you will also understand why I have come to the conclusion that we are in the last days. I will also be recommending books and DVDs as a suggestion for you to read or watch. If you go to www.christwatch.com and go to the Recommended Books, DVD's and online Videos page, you will find other sources of information plus links to videos that you can watch online with even more information than Im providing here. If you are a non-believer reading this, I would also suggest that you pray and ask God, if He is real and I believe He is, to give you understanding. Please share this with everybody. If someone sent you the link to download in email than please forward that e-mail to everybody you know. And one last thing, sorry for any typos and misspelled words. If you find them let me know and Ill correct them. I have several e-mail addresses that you can contact me at. Hey, what do you want for free? ;-)

Thank-you, Vic vic@christwatch.com vicshannon101@gmail.com vicshannon101@hotmail.com

Chapter One.
Does God really exist and if so, do I really need salvation?
Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (NKJV) John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (NKJV) As tempted as I am to make this chapter very short and answer those two questions with a Yes and Yes, I will try to expound on why I believe that God does exist. Also, Im putting this as the first chapter because I find that most Christian books will wait till the last chapter of a book before they put anything about the Gospel message in. I know of many people, me included, will start reading a book and maybe get or of the way through it and get want we want out of it and never finish and never getting to the Gospel message. Of course, only non-believers need the Gospel, which I would assume that there are a few that may be reading this. So with putting in the Gospel message at the beginning, I hope that more people that need it read it. Of course, also, there is always the chance that people could just skip this part and move forward. I pray that that doesnt happen. I'm sure as Christian believers you run across the atheist that says, God does not exist. The problem with the atheist belief, it takes faith to have an atheist belief. Of course the atheists will say, You can't prove there is a God to which I will reply, You can't prove there isn't a God! Of course, the atheist will then reply it's impossible to prove a negative. Which then I reply, Obviously, it isn't impossible to prove a negative because you obviously have proven that negative to yourself and that is why you choose to be an atheist. Of course most atheists don't understand what they are implying when they say, There is no God. Let me explain Let's look at what they are implying by asking a couple of short questions. 1. Does the atheist exist in every place in the known and unknown universe in the same form and consciousness as he is at this particular moment right now? Obviously, the answer is no. So the atheist, without realizing it, just admitted he's not omnipresent. The definition of omnipresent is, existing everywhere in the fullness of being at the same time. So, if God existed in any place in the known and unknown universe than the atheist would not know. 2. Does the atheist exist in the past, present and future in the same form and consciousness as he is at this particular moment right now? Again, obviously the answer is no. So the atheist without realizing it just admitted he's not eternal. The definition of eternal is coexisting in the past, present and future as a singular

moment or a singular now. Also, without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing. Seeing every moment of time as an ever present now. So if God ever existed any time in the past or any time in the future the atheist would not know. So let's look at what we just concluded with these two simple questions. The atheist is not omnipresent, not eternal and by his own admission, not omniscience. Omniscience means that you would have to have infinite knowledge. So for the atheist to make the claim that there is no God he would have to have the attributes of God to make such a claim. So for him to say there is no God he would have to exist as God to make the claim that there is no God. So if you logically think about this, he's basically making the statement I don't exist. But for someone to make such a statement as I don't exist, wouldn't they have to exist to be able to make the statement therefore making their statement a lie. Of course, most atheist that make such claims of being an atheist don't logically think out their claim. At the most, they can make the claim as being an agnostic, but to make the claim to being an atheist assumes special knowledge and attributes that the atheist cannot have, because if he did have these attributes then his statement would be a lie because the atheist would be God. Now since the atheist is no longer an atheist but, really now an agnostic, lets look at what it means to be an agnostic. According to Wikipedia - Agnosticism is the view that the truth value of certain claimsespecially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claimsis unknown or unknowable. According to the Bible (which I believe is the true Word of God) we can know God. And not only know Him but, receive salvation by His Grace as a free gift that doesnt require any good works or based on good works by me. So lets look at a few verses that tells us who the God of the Bible is and the Salvation He freely gives Ephesians 2:8-9 -- For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (NKJV) God provided a perfect sacrifice for our sins through the death of Jesus on the cross. John 3:16-19 -- For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (NKJV)

Satan, the Devil, tries to lie to us in many ways and to keep us from God. God said that if we honestly seek Him that we will find him and through Jesus we may find truth and an abundant life. John 10:10 -- The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (NKJV) None of us are innocent, we have all sinned in some form or fashion and God knows it, even if we try to deny it. God is a just God and sin brings about death, but through the shed blood of Jesus the debt to sin is paid. All we need to do is humbly go to God and confess our sins and receive the free gift of eternal life through Jesus. Rom 6:23 -- For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NKJV) I Corinthians 15:3-6 -- For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures, And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve, After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. (KJV) So all we have to do is to believe in our hearts and minds that Jesus is the Messiah, and that He came to this earth to die for us and we can be saved. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh according to the Bible. John 14:6 -- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV) Jesus is the only way to be saved and there is no other way, and Hes the only way we become adopted sons of God. John 1:12 -- But as many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name. (KJV) Revelation 3:20 -- Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (KJV) Jesus is knocking at the door of our hearts, all you have to do is open that door freely and ask Him for the forgiveness He freely gives and to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life, then you will have eternal life.

I John 5:11-12 -- And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. The word 'God' used in the Genesis creative account comes from the Hebrew word Elohim, which is a plurality for God. This plurality could suggest that there is plenitude or fullness of power, knowledge, wisdom, majesty, and eternal being or existence. Also used for paganism beliefs but, in this text it is used for the one true God of all things. Also suggested here for the plurality is the allowance for the New Testament tri-unity or trinity for the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) which may help in the explanation of verse 26 Let us create man in our image, after our likeness. 'Us' and 'Our' plurals of majesty, image, and (or) likeness. Genesis 11:7 -- Go to, let us go down......... here again is suggested more than one in the one God to perform a particular task. John 1:1 -- In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word is God. In the beginning here, also suggests a period of existence before time and that time was brought into existence at the creation. 'Word' comes from the Greek 'Logos' which means, word, thought concept, and the expressions thereof. In the O.T. the concept conveyed activity and revelation, the word or wisdom of God is often personified. To the Greek mind, it expressed the idea of reason and creative control. Revelation is the keynote idea to the 'Logos' concept. Here it is applied to Jesus, who is all that God is and the expression of Him. The Logos was already present in the Beginning and this is related to the Genesis 1:1 account. John 1:3 -- All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. (KJV) Here it is suggested that the 'Logos' (Word) created all things and therefore was before all things. Since God's words and thoughts have been with God from all eternity then the Logos must have existed from all eternity because God can't create a part of himself. And since the entire work of creation was carried out by the Logos, then the Logos could not have created Himself. To think that God created the Logos would suggest that God had no thoughts before the creation of the Logos. If God had no thoughts before the Logos then that would suggest that God did not exist before the Logos and therefore could not be eternal. Since God cannot exist without the Logos then the Logos must be as much God as God Himself and therefore is God. Since God is eternal, the first cause behind all things, and creator of all things, then the Logos which is every part as much as God must therefore be eternal.

1 John 1:1-2 -- That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us (NKJV) This 'Logos' is also the Word of Life or Logos of Life which suggests that He brings forth life and is life. Since God is Life and has always existed and the Logos is the 'Word of Life' which brings forth the Life then He therefore must also have always existed. John 1:4 In him was Life... John 1:14 -- And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (NKJV) John 1:17-18 -- For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (NKJV) The Logos (Word) which became flesh full of Grace and Truth is the one who brought grace and truth in the flesh as the person Jesus Christ. Since Jesus is the 'Logos', 'Word', from the Beginning, the creator of all things and the Logos is eternal with God and is God then Jesus must be Eternal and God. Micah 5:2 -- But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to me the one to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. (NKJV) This 'He' is the eternal Angel-Jehovah coequal with Jehovah throughout the Old Testament, and Jesus fulfilled this verse when he was born in Bethlehem. From everlasting suggests that there was no beginning for Jesus.

1 Tim 3:16 -- And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory. (NKJV) God was manifest in the flesh, the Logos (Word) was manifest in the flesh. The Logos and God are one in the same. Col 2:9-10 -- For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; (NKJV)

This verse suggests that deity itself has been manifest in body or material reality. Websters dictionary says that 'dwell' means stay, remain, abide as a permanent resident; reside. So in the Body of Jesus Christ the Godhead made permanent residence. Acts 4:12 -- Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (NKJV) Isa 43:3a -- For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; (NKJV) God is our savior, how can Jesus be our savior and God be our savior unless Jesus is God? John 14:6 -- Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (NKJV) Jesus says that he is the only way of salvation so if God is our Savior then Jesus must be God. Also, man cannot make it unless through Jesus and no other way or through no other person. Heb 1:8 -- But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. (NKJV) In this verse we see God the Father speaking to Jesus the Son calling him God. The word God used here in this text comes from the Greek word Theos which means deity. Also the Greeks use of the same word Theos for the word used of God the Father, gives to Jesus the same attributes of God the Father. Which the Father is eternal so then must be the Son. The Greeks recognized the Deity and Eternal state of Jesus from everlasting to everlasting. In the N.T. the word Theos was appropriated by the Jews and retained by Christians to denote the one true God. In the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament) 'Theos' Translates, with few exceptions, the Hebrew word Elohim and Jehovah, the former indicating His Power and Preeminence, the latter His unoriginated, immutable, eternal and self-sustained existence. Ps 45:6 -- Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom. (NKJV ) As you will read in these next several verses, that I have bullet pointed, from the New Testament (KJV), these and all the other Divine characteristics of the Eternal and One true God are also predicated of Jesus. To God are ascribed: His unity, or monism, Mark 12:29 -- And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord ; 1 Tim. 2:5 -- For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Mercy, Romans 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.; Romans 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth. Truthfulness, Titus 1:2 -- In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.

These same Divine attributes are likewise indicated or definitely predicated of Christ: Matt. 20:18-19 -- Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.

John 8:58 -- Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Titus 2:13 -- Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ. II Peter 1:11 -- For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I John 5:20 -- And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Now to the Atheist I say, Yes, there is a God and to the Agnostic I say, Yes, we can know God and know Him personally through Christ Jesus. And to all others I say, Salvation is a free gift and only through the shed blood of Jesus on the Cross that without Him there is no hope in Salvation.

Chapter Two.
What about the Big Bang and Evolution?
Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (NKJV) John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (NKJV) Yes, I know that I used those same two verses in Chapter One, but, they do kind of apply here. Do I believe in the Big Bang? Sure, God spoke and BANG the universe was there! Ok, I know, youve heard that one before but I couldnt resist. Sorry! The Big Bang theory was introduced in 1927 by Georges LeMaitre (1894-1966) to showed that religion and science -- or at least physics -- did not have to be incompatible. He was an astronomer and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain. He actually proposed the idea of an expanding universe before Hubble did. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/dp27bi.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lemaitre.jpg I dont plan on going into all the mathematics of String Theory and Quantum Physics because I just dont know them and if I had access to them, even though I did pretty good in College Algebra, I would have no clue as to how to even come close to understanding them or explaining them. But what I will do is try to explain from a laymans understanding from the countless amount of information available in books and Internet web sites on the topic. I will be quoting a lot here so there will be a lot of references for you to look up on your own time if you choose so. According to Wikipedia.com: The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model that explains the early development of the Universe. According to the Big Bang theory, the Universe was once in an extremely hot and dense state which expanded rapidly. This rapid expansion caused the young Universe to cool and resulted in its present continuously expanding state. According to the most recent measurements and observations, this original state existed approximately 13.7 billion years ago, which

P a g e | - 18 -

is considered the age of the Universe and the time the Big Bang occurred. After its initial expansion from a singularity, the Universe cooled sufficiently to allow energy to be converted into various subatomic particles. It would take thousands of years for some of these particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) to combine and form atoms, the building blocks of matter. The first element produced was hydrogen, along with traces of helium and lithium. Eventually, clouds of hydrogen would coalesce through gravity to form stars, and the heavier elements would be synthesized either within stars or during supernovae. The Big Bang is a well-tested scientific theory which is widely accepted within the scientific community because it is the most accurate and comprehensive explanation for the full range of phenomena astronomers observe. Since its conception, abundant evidence has arisen to further validate the model. Notice they say, well-tested scientific theory Hmm.. How does one test the Big Bang Theory at the beginning of time and space? Were they there? Were you there? I sure wasnt there. I do know someone who was there. We know Him as God. Also, isnt it a theory? I thought a theory was something that wasnt a fact? According to Dictionary.com, the definition of the word Theory is: 1. a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity. Synonyms: principle, law, doctrine. 2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact. Synonyms: idea, notion hypothesis, postulate. Antonyms: practice, verification, corroboration, substantiation. Now Im no scientist but, to prove a theory true, arent you supposed to be able to do scientific tests and repeat those tests several times and come out with the same results? When was the last time they created a Big Bang? Dont think they have. Im pretty sure if they would have created a Big Band then none of us would be here right now. Im just saying! Ok.. So lets say the Big Bang happened. I wasnt there but let us just say it did happen. Is there a problem with believing that God could have used this means to create the initial stuff He used to make everything else? I dont think so. Again I wasnt there and neither was anybody else to witness how the beginning of space, time and matter came into existence. Sir Fred Hoyle (24 June 1915 20 August 2001) was an English astronomer and mathematician who came up with what is known as the Steady State Theory. This was the only real competition, at

P a g e | - 19 -

the time, to the Big Bang Theory. The Steady State Theory basically, predicted that new matter was created, making the universe seem to expand. Hoyle also predicted that denser elements were formed from hydrogen & helium through the process of stellar Nucleosynthesis (which, unlike steady state, has proved to be accurate). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hoyle The problem with new matter being created is that there is none being observed anyplace in the universe today. I would think if it happened in the past, we would be able to observe it happening someplace out there in the universe. There was a time when the idea was first there was nothing then is exploded. Most of the Big Bang supporters of yesterday had a real problem with this concept. So to really understand what was being proposed in the Big Bang theory is that there was a singularity that exploded. Let's take a side step for second and discuss the concept of cause and effect. To understand the law of cause and effect I am going to use an analogy. I have a lamp setting on a table and I have a ball in my hand. Now when I throw the ball, I hit the lamp and the lamp falls off the table and breaks. What was the cause of that lamp falling and breaking? It was me throwing the ball that hit the lamp that caused the lamp to fall and break. The lamp didn't just decide to jump off the table and break. There was something that cause the lamp to fall off the table and that was the ball. But, the ball did not decide to just jump up and hit the lamp to knock it off the table. I picked up the ball and threw it at the lamp and knocked it off the table. So I caused the ball to fly through the air and hit the lamp that fell off the table and broke. I am the first cause of the chain of events that broke the lamp. Theoretically, I am the first cause. Ok, the singularity exploded causing the creation of time and space. As this explosion expands and time passes, the energies and material starts to cool and aggregates. Then stars, planets and galaxies begin to form. So the planet didn't form itself. It is the result of the singularity that exploded through a chain of events that brought about the planet. So this kind of makes sense but, let's look at something here for a second. Remember, theoretically I was the first cause of the lamp getting broken. I may have been the first cause in that chain of events but, I have to look beyond myself to find out where I came from. So the big question here is, where did the singularity come from? And what caused it to explode in the first place? I want to propose that God is the first cause of the singularity and by His power, caused the explosion. Is this how God did it? I dont know

and neither does anybody else. There were not any witnesses to the beginning. But, it is just as good of a theory as any other out there. And I think a good strong theory. Now of course there will always be the skeptic out there that will say, Well, who made God? Good honest question. And this questions needs to be answered. So I will make an attempt to answer it. No one made God! How was that? Alright, I know for some that just isnt good enough. Causality (also referred to as causation) is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is understood as a consequence of the first. In other words, every thing that has a beginning has to have a cause to its beginning. There is nothing in this physical universe that did not have a cause to its beginning. Even if you hold to the Big Bang Theory, every thing in this universe still ultimately has to point back to the cause of the singularity. Which again begs the question, where did the singularity come from? Now there are three types of existence and only three. There is either, Caused, Self-Cause or Un-Caused. So I want to take these three and explain them a bit to see if they are viable to existence. Caused Existence (Possible) We can also look at this as an effect. We already have briefly looked this a bit. Let me expand a little. Every thing that we see in the physical universe is caused by something else. Every thing is a caused/effect and is contingent of a cause that brought it into existence. The caused/effect has to look outside of its existence to the cause of its existence. Example: You see a watch on the table and you know that there is a watchmaker. Im the caused/effect of my parents who in turn are caused/effects of their parents and so on. The maple tree is also a caused/effect of the previous maple tree that the seed came from and so on. Of course we can do this with every thing in the physical universe. Every caused, contingent being has to look beyond its existence for a cause of existence. Self-Caused Existence (Impossibility) Just think about the watch on the table. You see the watch you dont think the watch caused its existence. You know that there was an intelligent watchmaker that made it. Think about this a second. For something to cause its own existence it would have to exist and not exist at the same time to be able to cause its existence. Think about this for a minute. I dont exist, so Im going to cause my existence, but to cause that existence, I would have had to existed before I existed. So the logic breaks down. If the logic breaks down then it is either false or impossible. If I told you I dont exist I would have to exist to make the claim. Even if I never spoke a word and hid in a closet, just a thought that comes into my head would confirm my existence. So I think weve said enough here, lets move on. My head hurts!

In his book Apollyon Rising 2012 on page 156-157, Tom Horn states: Prehistoric Egyptians believed in the same fundamental idea that most evolutionists subscribe to today the premise that the oceans both preceded and in some way contributed to the creation of the living cosmos. From the Fifth Dynasty Pyramid Text, the Heliopolitan theory of creation stated that Atum (the Sun God Ra) independently created himself from a singular expression of self will -- an act visualized by the Egyptians as a divine egg that appeared upon the primordial waters of the all filling ocean called Nun, out of which Atum (meaning he who created himself) emerged. Seems like those early crazy Egyptians believed in the ability to not exist yet be able to cause your own existence from none existence. Wouldnt you have to exist at the same time as non-existence to be able to cause your existence which is a contradiction? My head hurts again! Just goes to show you that even back then as is today, people just dont logically think out their assumptions. Uncaused Existence (Possible) by definition, this uncaused-being of existence has to be infinite and also all the attributes of the uncaused-being has to be infinite. Not only do the attributes have to be infinite but also a part of the makeup or essence of this uncaused being. The uncaused being can pass on some of the attributes to the caused-beings. The caused beings of existence can only have limited amounts of these attributes. The uncaused-being would have had to have all attributes infinitely and forever. There could have never been a time that the uncaused-being didnt have all the infinite attributes because if there was, then the uncaused-being has to look beyond his existence to find where he got them. By nature, the uncaused-being would also have to be eternal and outside of time. He cant be bound by the constrains of time. He would exist eternally with the past, present and future as an ever present now. Of course, this Uncaused Being is the cause of all caused contingent beings and is the exact same as the God of the Bible. So lets look at a few of these attributes: Knowledge Uncaused Being (God) not only has infinite knowledge but is part of His makeup, nature and essence. Has always had infinite knowledge, never gained it and cant gain more or lose it. Caused Being (Us) only in limited form, can gain more but will never achieve infinite knowledge. We have to look beyond ourselves as to where we got it. Not necessarily a part of our nature but given to us in limited amounts from the Uncaused Being (God).

P a g e | - 22 -

Wisdom Uncaused Being (God) not only has infinite wisdom but is part of His makeup, nature and essence. Has always had infinite wisdom, never gained it and cant gain more or lose it. Caused Being (Us) only in limited form, can gain more but will never achieve infinite wisdom. We have to look beyond ourselves as to where we got it. Not necessarily a part of our nature but given to us in limited amounts from the Uncaused Being (God). Love Uncaused Being (God) not only has infinite Love but is part of His makeup, nature and essence. Has always had infinite Love, never gained it and cant gain more or lose it. Caused Being (Us) only in limited form, can gain more but will never achieve infinite love. We have to look beyond ourselves as to where we got it. Not necessarily a part of our nature but given to us in limited amounts from the Uncaused Being (God). Eternal Uncaused Being (God) not only eternal but is part of His makeup, nature and essence. Has always been eternal and existed from everlasting to everlasting and exists outside of time but the creator of time. Every when is an every now. All forever past, present and forever future is a singular Now thought. Caused Being (Us) has a beginning to when they came into existence but will live forever in some realm of time existence of a moment by moment passage of time. This type of existence has an eternal future but not an eternal past. Not the same type of eternal existence as the Uncaused Being (God) but a moment by moment existence into a forever future. Depending on the relationship with the Uncaused Being (God) determines how that moment by moment existence into a forever future will be spent. Goodness Uncaused Being (God) not only has infinite goodness but is part of His makeup, nature and essence. Has always had infinite goodness, never gained it and cant gain more or lose it. Caused Being (Us) only in limited form, can gain more but will never achieve infinite Goodness. We have to look beyond ourselves as to where we got it. Not necessarily a part of our nature but given to us in limited amounts from the Uncaused Being (God). Evil Uncaused Being (God) Impossible for an Uncaused Being (God) to have at all. By definition, a being that has and is infinite Goodness cant have any evil at all as part of His nature. Evil is the privation of goodness as darkness is the privation of light.

P a g e | - 23 -

Where infinite goodness exists then there is no privation of goodness and where there is no privation of goodness then evil cannot exist. Caused Being (Us) Possible for evil to exist because only limited goodness can exist in a limited being. And if limited goodness exists then there is a privation of goodness. Where there is a privation of goodness then evil can and does exist. Of course there are more attributes but, this is a chapter on the Big Bang and Evolution. So with all that said, I think we can understand what a cause is and what an effect is and how every effect has to look beyond itself for its existence. Even if we take a cause and effect chain back to the singularity, even the singularity is an effect of an even greater cause. And in my view, that first cause is the Eternal God of the Bible. One thing that I didnt discuss is an infinite regress of causality. So I will briefly address that here. An infinite regress of causality basically is a never ending chain of causality. In other words, this effect was caused by another effect that was caused by another effect that was caused by another effect, etc. etc. etc. It never ends. Example: I owe John Doe $10, but Ill pay John Doe the $10 I owe him when Jane Smith pays me the $10 she owes me. But, Jane Smith will pay me the $10 she owes me when John Doe pays the $10 he owes her. But, John Doe will pay Jane Smith the $10 he owes her when I pay John Doe the $10 I owe him. It just never ends. Thomas Aquinas argues that an infinite regress of causality never accomplishes its objective and is thus impossible. Hence, a first cause is necessary for the existence of anything to be possible. Further, the First Cause must continuously be in action. Saint Thomas's argument is this: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Everything is caused by something other than itself. Therefore the universe was caused by something other than itself. The string of causes cannot be infinitely long. If the string of causes cannot be infinitely long, there must be a first cause. Therefore, there must be a first cause, namely God.

The big bang argument for the existence of God is supposed to succeed where the traditional first-cause argument might fail. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Everything that had a beginning in time has a cause. The universe had a beginning in time. Therefore the universe had a cause. The only thing that could have caused the universe is God. Therefore, god exists.

There is a conflict with #2 and Einsteins relativity theory because the general theory of relativity claims that there was no time before there was a universe. Time and the universe are coterminous-they came into existence together. This finding of Einstein's was anticipated by Augustine who proclaimed, "The world and time had both one beginning. The world was made, not in time, but simultaneously with time." If there was no time before there was a universe, the universe can't have a beginning in time. Astronomer Hugh Ross in his book, The Creator and the Cosmos (1995), on page 14, puts the argument this way: "If the universe arose out of a big bang, it must have had a beginning. If it had a beginning, it must have a beginner. He goes on to state on page 76, By definition, time is that dimension in which cause-and-effect phenomena take place. No time, no cause and effect. If time's beginning is concurrent with the beginning of the universe, as the space-time theorem says, then the cause of the universe must be some entity operating in a time dimension completely independent of and preexistent to the time dimension of the cosmos. This conclusion is powerfully important to our understanding of who God is and who or what God isn't. It tells us that the Creator is transcendent, operating beyond the dimensional limits of the universe. My argument with Hugh Ross is that he states, ..then the cause of the universe must be some entity operating in a time dimension completely independent of and preexistent to the time dimension of the cosmos. This argument would put God in a different dimension/universe then our current dimension/universe, which I believe, but then God has an existence of a time realm, although different then our time realm, that by definition traps God on a timeline and has a passing from a past through a present to a future that exist in His dimension or universe. This brings up a lot of questions and problems in my mind. I bring up a couple problems here. Lets say Hugh Ross is right and God exist in a higher dimension/universe then ours that has its own time realm. That means then that God is passing through a moment by moment existence within His dimension. Does God know what His future holds for Him in His universe and His time realm? If not, then He isnt Omniscience. If He is passing through a moment by moment existence in His dimension/universe then did His dimension/universe have a beginning which, if yes, means that God had a beginning? Then if God had a beginning, how can He be eternal? That begs the question then who created God or who is Gods God. And then is Gods God in an even higher dimension/universe that also has a time realm? Seems almost like we are getting in to an infinite regress of causality here.

Although, Ive read a couple of Hugh Rosss books and he is a pretty smart astronomer, I think his understanding of God falls a little short then the God of the Bible I read. My understanding of the God of the Bible is that He is self existing and eternal. He has no beginning or end and He is eternal in all of His attributes that are also a part of His nature and essence. I also believe that He is dimensionless but stepped into our dimension and time through His Son, Jesus. Do I completely understand this? That would be a big fat NOPE! Unless I do not understand Hugh Ross correctly, I just have to say that I disagree with him on this area. SPACE/TIME Ok, now I would like to briefly address something that always comes up in conversations. What always comes up is, You crazy Christians believe in a six day creation that is about 6 to 10 thousand years ago when science says that the universe is billions of years old, how do you explain that? And I like to answer them with, Yes, I believe in a six day creation and yes science does say that the universe is billions of years old. These people are making two assumptions. One, time moves the same all over the universe and two, the speed of light is a constant. I think there is enough evidence that proves that these two assumptions can be challenged. Im just going to briefly address these two assumptions and then recommend some extra reading on your part if you choose to do so. The first one I would like to discuss is the concept that time doesnt move at the same rate here on earth as it does at other areas of the universe. In an address by Einstein at the University of Leyden on May 5th, 1920, titled Ether and the Theory of Relativity, According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time (measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-time intervals in the physical sense. (http://www.tuharburg.de/rzt/rzt/it/Ether.html) What is Ether you may ask? A hypothetical substance supposed to occupy all space, postulated to account for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through space. (http://www.dictionary.com)

Basically, if light is waves or a waveform then these waves must be travelling in something and this something is ether. For Einsteins Theory of Relativity to work than ether is required. Now in this first concept of time being a variable, there is the assumption of light being a constant of 186,000 miles per second. If time moves at a different rate at the edge of the universe then for a day of time passing here on earth may be a period of millions of years or even billions of years at the edge of the universe. With this concept in mind, here on earth when light has traveled over 16 trillion miles in on day, then at the edge of the universe, even at the same rate of light speed, light could have traveled at a farther distance in relative to the time at the edge of the universe. I recommend reading the book Starlight and Time by Dr. Russ Humphreys. There is also a DVD video you can watch by the same title. In this book, Humphreys explains how there can be a young earth (approximately 6000 years old according to biblical understanding) and yet have light from distant stars and galaxies that are billions of light years away. For those that may not understand what a light-year is, it is how far light that light travels in one year. Ex. The speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second. At that rate, it takes the light from the sun that is 93million miles away a little over 8 minutes to reach us. In one year light will travel approximately 4,258,656,000,000 miles. The closest star to our Sun would be one of the three in the Alpha Centauri system. This system is only 4.27 light years from the Sun. That would be approximately 18,184,461,120,000 miles. The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is approximately 2.5 million light-years away. That would be approximately 10,646,640,000,000,000,000 miles away, if I did the math correctly. Lets just say that it is pretty far. That means it will take the light from the Andromeda Galaxy 2.5 million years to reach us. Now lets briefly look at another theory about the speed of light. Barry Setterfield is a young earth creationist from Australia who is known for proposing that the speed of light was faster in the past. In 1999, John Webb, a professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and his colleagues reported astronomical observations suggesting that the value of the fine-structure constant (which is related to the speed of light) may have changed (They subsequently published their observations in 2001 in Physical Review Letters). If correct, then various theories that constants have always been the same may need to be changed. When Barry Setterfield took the position that the speed of light was much faster in the past the main objection was the purported constancy of fundamental laws. (http://conservapedia.com/Barry_Setterfield)

If Setterfield and Webb are correct, than the Speed of light could have been many times faster at the In the Beginning of the Bible that happened around 6000 years ago, which again would account for the light that reaches us from stars and galaxies that are billions of light-years away. Of course, if you want to trudge through this info you can do so at http://www.setterfield.org/. I would like to propose a third possibility. What if both are correct, that the speed of light was faster in the past than it is today and that time moves at a faster rate at the edge of the universe. This would still account for how we can see the light from these distant galaxies and stars. I dont want to belabor these concepts or delve into other areas to make a point. But, I would invite you to do your own research into these areas and also the red shift of the light from these distant galaxies that scientist now say that proves the universe is expanding from a central area. Funny how God said in His Word (the Bible) how He stretches the heavens. Isaiah 40:22 -- [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: (KJV) EVOLUTION I just want to briefly touch on this. There are plenty of books that discuss the problems of Evolution Theory and why it cant be true. And Ill list a few of them that you can read if you chose to do so. Funny thing to notice, it is still a theory yet it is taught in schools and universities as fact. Charles Darwin (1809 1882), who I might add was a Freemason (later on the Freemasons), in 1859 published his theory of evolution in the book On the Origin of Species. Also known as Natural Selection or The Survival of the Fittest. What Darwin proposed is that life on Earth originated and then evolved from a universal common ancestor. That somewhere in the distant past there was a primordial soup that all life eventually sprang from. As someone once said, from the goo to you. That over a period of time, species evolved from other species. One main problem with this is that there is no evidence in the fossil record to support this. There are no fossils that show transitions from one species into another species. Although there is evidence for micro-evolution there is no evidence for macroevolution.

The difference between micro and macro-evolution is a major point of confusion between the Christian worldview and the Darwinian evolution worldview in todays culture. Microevolution is the adaptations and changes within a species while macro-evolution is the addition of new traits or a transition to a new species. Micro-evolution is a fact that is plainly observable throughout nature. Macro-evolution is a theory that has never been observed in science. Evolutionist usually argue that those who believe in creation are ignoring the facts, however, there is nothing that evolutionist observe in science that creationist or Christians as a whole disagree with. The point of contention is not on what is observed, but the belief systems that interpret what is being observed. Nothing in the Bible contradicts science; it is the assumptions that evolutionists insert into their world view that contradict the Bible. Evolution is a hypothesis introduced as a possible explanation of origins. (http://www.exchangedlife.com/Creation/macro-evol.shtml) There has been many hoaxes and flat out lies taught in the schools, and Im sorry to say still taught, to try to support the Evolutionary idea. One such hoax was Piltdown Man. The Piltdown Man was a hoax in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilised remains of a previously unknown early human. These fragments consisted of parts of a skull and jawbone, said to have been collected in 1912 from a gravel pit at Piltdown, East Sussex, England. The Latin name Eoanthropus Dawsoni ("Dawson's dawn-man", after the collector Charles Dawson) was given to the specimen. The significance of the specimen remained the subject of controversy until it was exposed in 1953 as a forgery, consisting of the lower jawbone of an orangutan that had been deliberately combined with the skull of a fully developed modern human. The Piltdown hoax is perhaps the most famous paleontological hoaxes ever. It has been prominent for two reasons: the attention paid to the issue of human evolution, and the length of time (more than 40 years) that elapsed from its discovery to its full exposure as a forgery. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man) Another case of a scientists using fraudulent material to promote the theory of evolution was the work of German scientist and atheist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919). Noted evolutionist Stephen Gould wrote the following regarding Ernst Haeckel's work in a March 2000 issue of Natural History: "Haeckels forceful, eminently comprehensible, if not always accurate, books appeared in all major languages and surely exerted more influence than the works of any other scientist, including Darwinin convincing people throughout the world about the validity of evolution... Haeckel had exaggerated the similarities [between embryos of different species] by idealizations and omissions. He also, in

some cases in a procedure that can only be called fraudulent simply copied the same figure over and over again.Haeckels drawings never fooled expert embryologists, who recognized his fudgings right from the start. Haeckels drawings, despite their noted inaccuracies, entered into the most impenetrable and permanent of all quasi-scientific literatures: standard student textbooks of biology... Once ensconced in textbooks, misinformation becomes cocooned and effectively permanent, becausetextbooks copy from previous texts.... [W]e do, I think, have the right to be both astonished and ashamed by the century of mindless recycling that has led to the persistence of these drawings in a large number, if not a majority, of modern textbooks!" (http://conservapedia.com/Theory_of_Evolution_and_Cases_of_Fraud,_Hoaxes_and_Specul ation) One other apparent hoax is Nebraska Man. Nebraska Man was a name applied by the popular press to Hesperopithecus haroldcookii, a putative species of ape. Hesperopithecus meant "ape of the western world," and it was heralded as the first higher primate of North America. Although it does not appear to be a deliberate hoax, this original classification proved to be a mistake. It was originally described by Henry Fairfield Osborn (1857-1935) in 1922, on the basis of a tooth that rancher and geologist Harold Cook found in Nebraska in 1917. The Nebraska man (also called Hesperopithecus haroldcookii) was a case of speculation. Nebraska man was promoted based on the find of a single peccary-like tooth (wild pig-like tooth). (http://conservapedia.com/Theory_of_Evolution_and_Cases_of_Fraud,_Hoa xes_and_Speculation) It amazes me on how far and what lengths people will take to promote an anti-God concept for the beginning of the universe and life. When you ask these people where life came from in the first place, they seem to stumble as does Richard Dawkins when asked by Ben Stein in the movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008). Its almost like the Big Bang people are trying to explain how nothing exploded and now we have a universe. RECOMMENDED READING Here is a list of recommended reading for you on the concept of beginning of the life and the universe. This list is by no means exhaustive but if you are interested, will give you a pretty good start. Starlight and Time by Physicist Russell Humphreys

Chapter Three.
What about the Mark of the Beast? Rev 13:16-18 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. (KJV) Ok, I know what you are thinking. What a jump from Space/Time to the Mark of the Beast! Well, when I started writing this, I really had no plan as to how I was going to lay out the chapters and figured that I just wanted to hopefully put enough info into your brain to spark your interest to do your own study and research. The first thing I would like to talk about is the Universal Product Code. We see them every day of our lives. But, just like about anything, we don't notice them because they are so common. We first started using them about 1972. They first started to show up on a few items such as tobacco and cigarettes. Now today they are on almost everything.

If you will notice design #1 and design #2 you will see the two most commonly used codes. Design #1 is most commonly used on food items. And design #2 is used on allot of magazines and tobacco items. Also you will notice that design #2 is half the size of design #1. Also you will notice that design #1 is evenly divided. Let's first discuss design #1 and how it works then we'll come back to design #2 and see the differences. As I stated before, design #1 is divided into equal sections by two narrow lines. The left side is the manufacturers code and the right side is the product code. Anything by the same manufacturer will have the same numerical code on the left side. Each manufacturer

P a g e | - 32 -

number has its own standard code for identification. The right side for the product code will vary between one product to the next within the same manufacture. Example: Campbell's has a manufacturers code of 51000. Campbell's Special Request Bean with Bacon 11 1/2 oz. can, has a code of 51000-06207 and the Special Request Cream of Mushroom 10 3/4 oz. can, has a code of 51000-06007. The price of the item and anything else needed to be known about the product, is programmed into the store computer. So at the time you purchase the product, it is scanned and then automatically deducted from the inventory. Computers work through an electronic switching system and we understand the switching system as binary code. Binary code is 1's and 0's, the 1's represent an on state in the computer and the 0 represent an off state. A single digit, either a 1 or 0, is a Bit. A sequence of 8 bits makes a Byte. With 8 bits to a byte, there are 256 combinations of 1's and 0's or 256 bytes that can be made. Each byte represents a Character or control Characters, which the computer can use for controlling the Central Processing Unit (CPU) or producing numbers and characters on the screen, printer or some other output device. A Program is a combination of thousands of these bytes controlling the computers CPU to perform a particular task, such as word processing, number crunching, games, Aircraft control, and etc. There are different types of output devices used in a computer system, printers, monitors, etc. Magnetic media (Magnetic disks, Magnetic tape) is also another form of output that is used as a storage device which stores the bits in a magnetic format. Then there is also CD's for storage. These same storage devices can be used to retrieve information for processing by the CPU. Input devices are keyboards, keypads, lightpens, laser scanners, etc. The most common one used in stores are keypads and laser scanners. And the output device used mostly is monitors, storage devices, and the cash register printer that prints out your receipt.

A laser is an instrument used to form a beam of optical radiation (Light) at a specified wavelength. The atoms of the gas inside the laser tube (such as hydrogen, deuterium, carbon dioxide, or fluorine depending on the type of laser) is excited by the laser lamp to a high energy level as they absorb their character wavelength from the white light. As the atoms de-excite, they emit their characteristic wavelength, and that wavelength only. This can occur either spontaneously or by encountering the emission of another atom. The reflective inner walls of the laser tube reflect these light waves back into the tube and toward other atoms, causing them to emit light also. Some of the light waves are allowed to leave the tube, in this case through a semitransparent portion of the mirror and an opening in the tube wall. These waves emerge as a coherent beam of light, a laser beam. The beam is aligned as a result of reflections back and forth between the reflecting mirror at the left and the semitransparent mirror on the right. A Maser is the same thing as a laser but instead of optical wave forms being transmitted, a maser transmits microwave wave forms. The Design #1 UPC Bar Code, as I mentioned earlier, is divided in two sections. Left side is the manufacturers code and the right side is the product code. Set #1 is the line configurations used for the manufacturers code and Set #2,is used for the product code. As the laser from the scanner scans across the code mark, the computer can tell the difference between the two sides by the difference in the code sets. So it doesn't matter which direction the code is scanned, and the proper order of the code is maintained. Each numbered code in both sets, has two lines to make up the code number, and each number has it's own distinct two line configuration. This way, the computer by the (eye) scanner sees each individual number. When we buy items at the store (most supermarkets

P a g e | - 34 -

today) we take them to the check out counter and the checker runs the items across the scanner window where a beam of laser light flashes across the UPC bar code. As this happens the computer converts the code into binary (1's and 0's) code and then processes the information in the CPU of the computer. Then the price of the item is display at the checkout counter (almost instantly) and when we pay for the items that we have bought, we get a receipt with the products that we bought listed and the price of each individual product. What happens is, the laser light is reflected off the bar code and inside the scanner window is a receiver that picks up the reflections. Where the code has a line the reflection is different then where the code does not have a line, so the receiver reads it a little differently. As you can see here, each line number has seven segments. Each segment is then either a 1 (on) or 0 (off). As the laser scanner scans across the UPC bar code it then sees a series of 1's and 0's and converts them into the specified numbers and then into the specified code for the manufacturer and product codes. (You can associate the codes here with the binary configurations and see the similarity.) In March 1982, the banking industry required that all bank cards (including credit and debit cards) to have been converted to cards with magnetic strips on the back. This magnetic strip holds 100,000 words of information and is read by a reader head (much like the head on a music tape deck) which feeds digital (binary code) information into the computer. The Wall Street Journal (Nov. 5, 1985) stated: A new banking era has begun. and Citibank invites you to be in the forefront -- A Global System' linking every major city in America to a bank with a financial service network that circles the entire world S.W.I.F.T. is this global system. http://www.swift.com/ S.W.I.F.T., The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Transactions, is a vast banking network with no vault, no cash. It is a system for large transfers. Value exchanges will be ordered by these bank computers, and numbers will be juggled when any transactions are consummated. Universal Electronic Banking. The S.W.I.F.T. organization is a culmination of a range of studies initiated in 1969 with the aim of providing an improved an improved international payments system... In May 1973, some 240 of the largest European and North American banks set up the S.W.I.F.T. organization with the aim to design, implement and operate an International Financial Network that enables member banks to be able to transmit between themselves international payments, statements and other messages associated with International Banking.

Carl Reuterskiold, S.W.I.F.T. General Manager. on Oct. 19, 1977 Stated: S.W.I.F.T. is a co-operative society created under Belgium law and registered in Brussels. It is wholly owned by the member banks, the shares being distributed at present according to anticipated traffic transmitted via the network... there is a team based in Brussels who prepare instructional material and visits countries to assist National User Groups with educational courses, seminars and workshops. Each S.W.I.F.T. country has it's own internal organization which differs according to national requirements. Most nations have national members who meet regularly to review current progress. Each country has at least one user group representative who is nominated by the users and is usually an employee of a member bank or national banking association. He is the focal point for S.W.I.F.T. liaisons. (S.W.I.F.T., F20, 160 second edition, Jan. 1977) So what S.W.I.F.T. is, is a one world international banking system that can make sure your bill, of the items you buy in Spain, will be waiting for you when you get home, with all items listed and itemized. Also, transactions made by large corporations from the U.S. and other countries. And it's all completely done by digital electronics (1's & 0's). The Network, in its first phase, covers most of western Europe and North America. It's a two-center financial transaction control system. The banks connection their terminals to programmable concentrators in each country... Although each operating center features fully duplicated computer configurations, a two-centered design is used for increased security, should one center become unavailable through natural catastrophe or industrial sabotage, each configuration has enough capacity to handle the entire traffic load. (S.W.I.F.T., F20 160, Jan. 1977.) In Future Developments of S.W.I.F.T. (1977), Burroughs Corporation wrote: The S.W.I.F.T. network cutover has now taken place. Live messages are being transmitted and, with S.W.I.F.T., Burroughs is looking forward to the time when all current member banks will be connected to the system, and beyond that, to the enclosure of other banks and other countries, until the system becomes WORLDWIDE. There are currently two switching centers in Europe, one in Brussels and one in Amsterdam. It was once thought the Brussels center could handle projected traffic through 1985. Currently though, the S.W.I.F.T. organization is building another switching center in Culpepper, Virginia, to help carry the load. That was in 1985, I think we can assume they have been built.

Dr. T. Hugh Moreton says in S.W.I.F.T. Banking and Business: In Early 1982 we are ready to believe every country in the world will be connected in one way or another to S.W.I.F.T. Now it's 2012, It's my opinion that it is safe to assume that S.W.I.F.T. has probably reach that point. With how cheap memory storage is and how massive amounts of storage that can be stored, there must be trillions upon trillions of information that is being stored. In OMNI magazine 1983 in an article by Phoebe Hoban, Artificial intelligence-Laser Cards: The floppy disk of the future may not be a disk at all, but a snippet of plastic resembling a credit card. And this inconspicuous memory device, small enough to fit into your wallet, will be able to store an entire book of data about you. According to it's maker, Drexler Technology Corp in Mountain View, Ca., the Drexon laser card will be widely used as portable software for personal computers and video games. It will make available a new kind of identification from electronic passports to miniature medical files that could hold hospital records and even x-ray images. Your driver's licence, registration, insurance, and an entire automobile maintenance history could be carried in your pocket...the small cards are likely to offer extraordinary storage space. Right now the cards, which sell in quantity for about $1.50 each, can store 2 megabytes of information-the equivalent of about 800 pages of text. Within two or three years from now these remarkable products will be packing 7 megabytes, and ten years from now, Drexler claims these remarkable products will hold 25 megabytes per side. Just think, you could walk around with approximately 20,000 pages of information on everything about you in a handy little card in your pocket. (now we have 64 gig thumb drives) Since this 1983 OMNI article Drexler Technology Corp is now LaserCard Corporation. LaserCard Corporation specializes in delivering customized solutions for complex ID management projects. Our secure ID solutions enable governments to protect citizens, borders, and services, and help commercial enterprises to safeguard their employees and assets. http://www.lasercard.com In the Denver Post, June 21, 1981, an article by Gail Pitts Stated: It's finally happening: this all purpose identification computer chip for animal, people, heavy equipment, and the daily TV set...a chip...about the size of the lead in an automatic pencil--

P a g e | - 37 -

which can be injected with a simple insulin-type syringe into human or horse...the needle is capped and ready to forever identify something or somebody...it can be affixed to inanimate objects with epoxy--hidden inside the TV set...or under the felt of the base of an antique silver candlestick holder...contained in the package is an induction coil and a capacitor to create a weak electrical signal when a scanner activates it...one wafer is encoded with a 12-digit unique number. With 12 digits, the system can produce some 4 billion unique numbers...system ID's injected is the outgrowth of electronic identification research conducted over the past 10 years by the federal government at Los Alamo. How does this microchip identification technology work? Here is a basic illustration. Suppose you have a pet. Info-Pet and other similar animal ID companies are marketing pet identification systems. Each chip, about the size of a grain of rice, has a unique number that can be read with a hand-held scanner. A hypodermic needle is used to insert the microchip painlessly into the animal. Information is stored in the chip such as the identity of the owner, address, veterinarian and the pet's medical records. For approximately $25 TO $35 you can have your animal implanted. So, if your cat is lost in Albany, NY and turns up in Kansas City, Missouri without an ID tag but has been implanted, a scanner can read the invisible chip and all the information comes up for review. As a result, your pet will be properly identified and returned to you. A great system? Yes, in a lot of ways, especially if you love pets! However, there are many who suggest people should be next. The three groups being targeted are military, prisoners and children. Lost soldier behind enemy lines could be tract. Overcrowded jails have caused some people to suggest microchip transponder IDs for them, because by using a remote scanning device it is possible to know their exact location at all times. Any attempts to escape or hide will be futile. Any prisoner could be located instantly. With children, what better way to stop kidnapping? In an article titled Will Your ID Soon Be a Microchip Under Your Skin? by Drew Halley (July 2nd, 2009) it states.. The VeriChip is the first radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip thats been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in humans. The chip is the size of a long grain of rice, and can be implanted pretty much anywhere in the body (most commonly along the tricep). Depending on how its used, the chip could do anything from telling doctors your medical background to buying you a round at the club. Outside of human bodies, RFID is already used for a wide range of purposes. If you pay highway tolls electronically, that little box in your car has an RFID tag in it. Lots

of folks implant their pets with RFID chips in case they get lost, as animal shelters increasingly scan pets for them. Wal-Mart tracks their shipments with RFID, which has apparently revolutionized supply chain management. Hell, theres even one in your passport. (http://singularityhub.com/2009/07/02/will-your-id-soon-be-amicrochip-under-your-skin/) Also, check out these Links.. As of this writing, these links were good.. but if the links are broken just do a Google or YouTube search on RFID Implants in Humans. You may be shocked how far this system has advanced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBCCsjhVaTc http://www.buzzle.com/articles/rfid-chip-in-humans.html Actually, most people do not realize that within the Obama Health Care Bill was a provision for RFID implants. If you look at the bill under Class II (Paragraph 1, Section B) it specifically includes in its lists of things that must be registered in the NATIONAL MEDICAL DEVICE REGISTRY: (ii) a class II device that is implantable." Here is a link to the .pdf file of the Health Care Bill from the US Government Printing Office. Look on page 1001. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr3200ih/pdf/BILLS-111hr3200ih.pdf What exactly is a class II device that is implantable? Approved by the FDA, a class II implantable device is a "implantable radiofrequency transponder system for patient identification and health information." The purpose of a class II device is to collect data in medical patients such as "claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the Secretary." In an article National Healthcare Will Require National RFID Chips by Timothy Baldwin (25 March 2010) it states.. Identifying the means and methods by which the government will accomplish their task is less than speculative. Though the legislation itself does not mandate this technology to be used, as we reported five years ago, the implantation of Radio Frequency Identification chips (RFID) into all persons within the governments healthcare system for purposes of prevention, detection and treatment of diseases is a primary objective of a number of government officials and industry proponents. Whether or not they will be successful in doing so remains to be seen. (http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/3193-national-healthcare-willrequire-national-rfid-chips)

We need to understand that the microchip's main purpose is simple: IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION. Incidentally, some people still think the UPC bar code will ultimately be used to operate the world wide information system, leading to the mark of the beast. But the UPC bar code system is very limited. It does not have the capacity to update data on the individual. I do want to make clear here that the UPC code is just a "link" for identifying products and items in a computer data bank system. However, the microchip because it has an eprom embedded in it, can have its data updated effortlessly. Are biochip/microchips in their various forms really the wave of the future? In May 1996 the Chicago Tribune featured a headline "In Future Tiny Chip May Get Under Your Skin." The following article gave all the beneficial reasons for microchip implants. You would never have to worry about lost or stolen credit cards, you would also have safety, protection, security, etc . Think it will never happen in humans? Consider this, from this same Chicago Tribune article. Edward Cornish, President of the World Future Society, which is a globalist new age group, stated, "The locator ID chip may be inevitable." He also made this chillingly candid statement about the microchip's use: "Things that are voluntary today, have a way of becoming compulsory tomorrow." Could the microchip implant lead to the future mark of the beast, spoken of in the Bible? Evangelist Dr. Carl Sanders, an engineer who previously helped develop the microchip, shared the following information in his book, Are You Ready For the New World Order? "The pattern for the microchip transponder data when read under a scanner will be as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Name and picture Social security number Fingerprint data Physical description Address Family history Occupation and income Tax information Criminal record

Only naivety would cause one to believe that privacy of any kind really exists today." According to Strong's Concordance, the Greek word charagma means "a scratch or etching, stamp a badge of servitude, graven mark." Derivatives of the word are: "charakter"- a

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 40 -

graver, the figure stamped, i.e. an exact copy or representation, express image; "charax"- to sharpen to a point through the idea of scratching. In Revelation 13 we see three components of the future new world order working in tandem under this future 666 Antichrist and his world system. Jeff Baker, political analyst, researcher, and journalist, in his excellent classic book, Cheque Mate, (p. 203) comments on the meaning and significance of 666. "I believe that the 666 is actually a combination of three sets of sixes. The first 6 represents man's political system, The second 6 represents the economic system of man, and the third represents the religious system of man." A very astute observation, and that is exactly the three headed structure we find in Rev. 13. The 666 referred to in verse 18 is very significant, because in ancient times a person's name had a fixed numerical value. The reason for that: the letters of the alphabet were used for numbers. In scripture, 6 is the number representing man. The number 6 is also considered sacred by many new age and secret society groups, A triad, or 3, is God's number. So, the triple 6 (666) is the symbol of man making himself God. See Daniel 11:36 and 2 Thess. 2:4. The number 666 is also the Greek word chi xi stigma. (Rev. 13:18) Strong's Concordance: "The 22nd, 14th, and an obsolete letter of the Greek alphabet, used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60, and 6; 666 as a numeral-six hundred threescore and six." (Does one really believe that privacy of any kind really exists today?) Let's look at how sophisticated this system is getting. A company known as Digital Angel Corporation states from their website, "Digital Angel Corporation develops advanced RFID and GPS technologies that enable rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets. Applications for our products include identification and monitoring of pets, humans, fish and livestock through our patented implantable microchips as well as message monitoring of aircraft in remote locations through integrated GPS and geosynchronous satellite communications systems." Implantable Chips in Humans..? With the use of GPS (Global Positioning Satellites) Digital Angel can track the wearer of this implanted chip anyplace in the world. (http://www.digitalangel.com/) I would like to return and discuss the switching guards in UPC Code design #1. Now, up front, I want to

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 41 -

state that Im not saying that the UPC Bar codes are the Mark of the Beast, but I will state that there are some peculiar things about it that should be noted. If you will notice, the switching guards are made up of 3 sets of 2 narrow lines. One set on the far left, one set on the far right, and one set in the middle that divides the manufacturers code from the product code. The scanner sees the first set of lines and the computer knows to switch on and start reading the manufacturers code, the middle set tells the computer to switch and start reading the product code. Then the last set tells the computer that it has reached the end of the code. The scanner/computer can read the code in any direction and by the difference from set #1 to set #2, the computer can tell the difference between the manufacturers code and product code. Now I would like to discuss the lines that make up the switching guards and also the number 6 from set #2 for the product codes. They all have the same 2 narrow lines and they all have the same 101 binary code configuration. That's interesting! A mark used for buying and selling which contains 6-6-6 in the form of switching guards. Now let's examine UPC Bar Code design #2. First of all, design #2 is half the size of design #1. It will also use any of the codes from set #1 and from set #2 it will use the codes for the numbers 1-2-3-6-7-8, and any of the codes from set #3. Look at the 04-5-9 in set #2. If you will notice the 0 in set #2 becomes the 5 in set #3. The 4 in set #2 becomes the 9 in set #3. The 5 in set #2 becomes the 0 in set #3. And the 9 in set #2 becomes the 4 in set #3. Both manufacturers and product codes are included into this one design. But, does this design have the 6-6-6 coding included also? If you will notice the left switching guard and the right switching guard, you will see that they are the same as is in design #1. Now look at the code for the 6 in set three and you will notice that it is the only code of all of them that has the single line. It has a binary code of 01-0 and is also nested next to the right switching guard which gives us a complete binary code of 0-1-0-1-0-1. This code is how the computer determines that the mark is design #2 and design #1. Also, the computer can know that the 0, 4, 5, and 9 are the codes from set #3. So as you can see, we still have a 6-6-6 coding in the switching guards of design #2.

In Sept. 20, 1973, Senior Scholastics magazine had an article titled: Public Needs and Private Rights - Who is Watching You?: It stated: All buying and selling in the program will be done by the computer. No currency, no change, no checks. In the program, people would receive a number that had been assigned them. Tattooed in their wrist or forehead.. The number is put on by laser beam and cannot be felt. The number in the body is not seen with the naked eye and is as permanent as your fingerprints. All items of consumer will be marked with a computer mark (UPC). The computer outlet in the store which picks up the number from the item at the check-stand will pick up the number in the persons body and automatically total the price and deduct the amount from the person's 'special drawing rights' account... The use of laser branding is already a reality. Dr. Keith Farall of Washington State University, has developed laser branding and a universal mark (unalterable) for the use of branding livestock and pets. It is quick and painless, says Dr. Farall, in a fraction of a second a technician can stitch a brand or initial into the skin. And it is theoretically possible to include man as another one of these animals. Says the doctor, who admits he has branded himself in the fashion by way of experiment. In the Nov. 1985 Prophecy in the News, an article by J. R. Church entitled Mark of the beast tested in Sweden stated: Believe it or not, some 6000 people in Sweden have agreed to accept a mark on their right hand in order to test a new method of money exchange-in Australian Banks Employee Union. Also, another article by J. R. Church on November 1, 2010 he states: Three years ago, on Saturday, September 8, 2007, an Associated Press reporter, Todd Lewan, published some pretty scary information. Though not widely known as yet, the implanting of microchips in animals has produced some disturbing news. A significant number of animals have developed malignant tumors around the glass microchip container sold by VeriChip Corp. This same chip has now been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for injecting in humans. The manufacturer said it would save lives, suggesting that it be used for medical purposes. One thing that I would like to add to this is that when you read Revelation 13, it states that the Mark will be a requirement for buying and selling. It is an economical thing. Look at where we are today in the world economy. Even Gordon Brown, ex Prime Minister of the

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 43 -

United Kingdom, has stated that it is time for a World Constitution for Global Economics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AnPEZVaF3E Now I want to enlighten you about another think tank group that was established in 1954 called the Bilderberg Group. (http://www.bilderbergmeetings.org/index.php) The Bilderberg Group meets secretly someplace in the world once a year. Even though they meet secretly, things leak out. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group). One of the nicknames given to this group is the King Makers because it seems that they have some pull on who will become rulers and presidents. Only elite people are invited to meet with this group and they seem to set agendas to bringing about a world government. Some of these elite people are ruling class, heads of large corporations and heads of global banking systems. Seems that Bill Gates and Ben Bernanke have been to these meetings. Also it is rumored that during the last presidential race, both Obama and Hilary Clinton attended. Soon afterwards, Hilary dropped from the race and Obama won. Kind of makes you wonder. When they met in 2008 in Chantilly, Virginia, one of the things leaked out is that they wanted to implant RFID chips into everybody by 2017. http://prisonplanet.com/articles/june2008/061008_secret_agenda.htm http://www.forteantimes.com/strangedays/conspiracycorner/1437/id_microchips.html So it would seem that we are close to a time when the Mark of the Beast is an actual reality and could be an actual requirement. The information that is available just on this one subject is extremely huge! I hope you take the time to do your own research. I didnt even scratch the surface and also didnt talk about how much surveillance is being done with cameras everywhere that tracks almost our every move. Ok.. Ill put in a little here. Every place you go, these days, you are within eye shot of some type of camera. I think most people dont realize the amount of cameras that are out there watching our every move. We have cameras in most every store from 7-11s to Wal-Marts to government buildings to Starbucks to small mom and pop shops. You cant even buy a donut without a camera recording the transaction. Most people know this is happening but, just so used to the cameras being there, that they dont pay much attention to them. With the internet, most all these cameras are connected to a computer that records all your moves that then can be uploaded to a data base someplace. And now a lot of these systems are being set up with some sort of recognition software. All

in the disguise of your protection and the protection of the store owner. We see them everywhere. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1305191/Facial-recognition-softwareallow-ability-identify-people-photographs-internet.html They are even on the freeways and intersections. Next time you take a drive anyplace, just take notice at how many cameras you see at intersections and at the on/off ramps on freeways. Of course, they arent at every intersection or on/off ramp Yet! But they are on an increase. Im not talking about the cameras that take your picture when you go through a red light.. Im talking about cameras that are above the lights at the intersections. And, again, they say it is for our safety. Safety from what..? Also, the technology is available and being discussed to include RFID scanning devices along with the cameras. Are you starting to get the big picture as to what is going on here? So to close out.. I would like to suggest some books you can read on this same topic. Two Books by Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre. Spychips How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Purchase and Watch You Every Move and The Spychips Threat Why Christian Shoud Resist RFID and Electronic Surveillance.

Chapter Four.
U.S.A Founded on Christian Principles?
2 Chron 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (KJV) Now what I would like to state here is, although I believe the pilgrims came to this country for freedom of religious believes in Christian biblical principles and throughout the history of the United States there has been many true Biblical Christians that have prayed for this country and this country has truly been blessed by God, to state that our Founding Fathers founded this country on Christian principles is a totally different thing. I also believe with the direction this country is going and the direction that the current and the recent past leaders are leading and have lead this country, I think we as Christians need to really step up are prays not only for this country but also for the leadership. To think, that with the direction this country is going, that God will continue to bless this country or will not spank this country is an arrogant attitude to take. All one has to do is read the Old Testament and see how God has blessed Israel when Israel honored God and how God has cursed Israel when Israel walked away from God and followed after pagan gods. Is the United States any different? When the two landmark decisions, Engel v. Vitale (1962) and Abington School District v. Schempp (1963), the US Supreme Court established what is now the current prohibition on state-sponsored prayer in schools. Then since the legalization of abortion in the United States in every state since the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe vs Wade there has been more than 50 million babies aborted. That 50 million in all actuality is really a lot more when you consider the babies that were aborted in the earlier years, if they were still alive, could have had children. And its possible that maybe a few of them could have been early aged young grandparents. Do you really believe that God is looking at this country with a big smile on His face? There is an estimated 50 million babies aborted each year in the world. There has been well over 1 billion babies aborted in the world since 1973. http://www.cpforlife.org/truth_about_abortion.htm

Leviticus 18:21 - And thou shalt not let any of thy seed (child) pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. (KJV)

Molech: "A detestable Semitic deity honored by the sacrifice of children, in which they were caused to pass through or into the fire. Palestinian excavations have uncovered evidences of infant skeletons in burial places around heathen shrines. Ammonites revered Molech as a protecting father. Worship of Molech was stringently prohibited by Hebrew law. (Lev. 18:21; 20:1-5) Solomon built an altar to Molech at Tophet in the Valley of Hinnon. Manasseh in his idolatrous orgy also honored this deity. Josiah desecrated the Hinnom Valley altar, but Jehoiakim revived the cult." Unger's Bible Dictionary by Merrill F. Unger (Chicago: Moody Press, 1957 page 416.) Is there really any difference to child sacrifices to Molech and abortion today for convenience? I really dont think so. Also, with the rise of the homosexual/lesbian lifestyle and special marital rights being passed in more states is another direction that this country is taking down to the pits of hell. God will definitely be slamming His foot down and probably a lot sooner than most people believe. Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. (KJV) Deism in religious philosophy is the belief that reason and observation of the natural world, without the need for organized religion, can determine that the universe is the product of an all-powerful creator. According to deists, the creator does not intervene in human affairs or suspend the natural laws of the universe. Deists typically reject supernatural events such as prophecy and miracles, tending instead to assert that a god (or "the Supreme Architect") does not alter the universe by intervening in it. This idea is also known as the Clockwork universe theory, in which a god designs and builds the universe, but steps aside to let it run on its own. Two main forms of deism currently exist: classical deism and modern deism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism http://www.deism.com/deism_defined.htm Unitarianism is a Christian theological movement, named for its understanding of God as one person, in direct contrast to Trinitarianism which defines God as three persons coexisting consubstantially as one in being. Thus, Unitarians adhere to strict monotheism, and maintain that Jesus was a great man and a prophet of God, perhaps even a supernatural being, but not God himself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarianism

(Note: Even though Wikipedia states that "Unitarianism is a Christian theological movement," I don't hold to it as being the true Christianity as defined in the Bible.) Charles Thomson (November 29, 1729 August 16, 1824) was a Patriot leader in Philadelphia during the American Revolution and the secretary of the Continental Congress (17741789) throughout its existence. He was also involved in the final decisions of the the Great Seal of the United States which is also found on the dollar bill. As events took place during the Revolution, Thomson wrote down these events in detail which included those men that were being celebrated as heroes. Although he was compelled to publish his writing he declined with a statement, "No.. I ought not, for I should not contradict all the historics of the great events of the Revolution... Let the world admire the supposed wisdom and valor of our great men... I shall not undeceive future generations." (Source: Charles Thomson, as recorded by Dr. Benjamin Rush, cited in "Rulers of Evil," by F. Tupper Saussy, page 125) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Thomson The pilgrims that settled in America in 1620 were probably Christians but most of the founding fathers were probably not. A lot of them were Freemasons. Thomas Paine (February 9, 1737 June 8, 1809) was an English author, pamphleteer, radical, inventor, intellectual, revolutionary, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He has been called "a corset maker by trade, a journalist by profession, and a propagandist by inclination." Thomas Paine has a claim to the title The Father of the American Revolution because of Common Sense, the pro-independence monograph pamphlet he anonymously published on January 10, 1776 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_paine

In his book "The Age of Reason" he wrote, "When I see throughout the greater part of this book (the Bible) scarcely anything but a history of the grossest vises and a collection of the most paltry and contemptible tales I cannot dishonor my Creator by calling it by His name." (Source: Thomas Paine, "The Age of Reason," The Truth Seekers Co., 1898 Edition, page 21)

His view of the Bible is clear by his statement, "It is the fable of Jesus Christ, as told in the New Testement, and the wild and visionary doctrine raised thereon, against which I contend... The story, taking as it is told, is blasphemously obscene" (Source: Thomas Paine, "The Age of Reason," The Truth Seekers Co., 1898 Edition, page 138) He also stated, "What is it the Testement teaches us? -- to believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married and the belief of this debauchery is called faith." (Source: Thomas Paine, "The Age of Reason," The Truth Seekers Co., 1898 Edition, page 171) Even though Paine is claimed to believe in God, it is clear that it isn't the God of the Bible. His belief in God is the god of Deism. He is quoted as to saying, "In Deism our reason and our belief are happily united." Thomas Paine has also wrote on Freemasonry. In an essay chapter belonging to the Third Part of the "Age of Reason," he wrote, "It is always understood that Freemasons have a secret which they carefully conceal; but from everything that can be collected from their own accounts of Masonry, their real secret is no other than their origin, which but few of them understand; and those who do, envelop it in mystery." http://www.deism.com/paine_essay_masonry_1.htm John Adams (October 30, 1735 July 4, 1826) was an American lawyer, statesman, diplomat and political theorist. A leading champion of independence in 1776, he was the second President of the United States (17971801). Although John Adams wasn't a Freemason, it is rumored that he spoke favorably about it. Also, his belief in God was from a Unitarism belief and not of that of the Bible. From different quotes from him on the subject of Christianity we can understand that he didn't have much respect or belief in Christianity as defined from a biblical perspective. "As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?" (John Adams, letter to FA Van der Kamp, December 27, 1816) "Indeed, Mr. Jefferson, what could be invented to debase the ancient Christianism which Greeks, Romans, Hebrews and Christian factions, above all the Catholics, have not fraudulently imposed upon the public? Miracles after miracles have rolled down in torrents." (John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson, December 3, 1813, quoted from James

He led the American victory over Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army from 1775 to 1783, and presided over the writing of the Constitution in 1787. The unanimous choice to serve as the first President of the United States (17891797). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_washington "Deists have a great example of toleration, perseverance, and integrity in the person of fellow Deist George Washington. Christian preachers who ardently wanted Washington to be portrayed as one of them have made up many stories of George Washington's strong Christian beliefs. One of the primary purveyors of these propaganda pieces was Mason Locke Weems, a Christian preacher who came up with the fable of George Washington and the cherry tree. He also feverishly promoted the myth of George Washington and Christianity." http://www.deism.com/washington.htm George Washington was also a Mason, he "...was initiated, in 1752, in the Lodge at Fredericksburg, Virginia, and the records of that Lodge, still in existence, present the following entries on the subject. The first entry is thus: "Nov. 4th. 1752. This evening Mr. George Washington was initiated as an Entered Apprentice," receipt of the entrance fec, amounting to 23s., was acknowledged, F.C. and M.M. March 3 and August 4, 1753. On March 3 in the following year, "Mr. George Washington" is recorded as having been passed a Fellow Craft; and on August 4, same year, 1753, the record of the transactions of the evening states that General Lafayette and General Washington shared not only a close friendship but membership in the Craft, a commonly used name for Freemasonry. On two occasions General Lafayette presented Masonic aprons to Washington. One of these aprons, embroidered in colored silks by Madame Lafayette, bore the emblems of the Holy Royal Arch degree. The fact that this apron was especially made for Georgc Washington has led to much speculation that he was raised to that degree. This may be of considerable importance, for the "Royal Arch degree is the salient, spiritual degree of Freemasonry, not excepting the degree of Master Mason" (Steinmetz, 1946, 67). http://www.reversespins.com/masons.html

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_Freemasons Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 July 4, 1826) was the principal author of the United States Declaration of Independence (1776) and the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom (1777), the third President of the United States (18011809) and founder of the University of Virginia (1819). He was an influential Founding Father and an exponent of Jeffersonian democracy. A quote from James W. Beless, 33 Mason, "Jefferson may not have been a card-carrying Mason, but his philosophy and actions certainly paralleled Masonic ideals and practices." http://srjarchives.tripod.com/1998-03/beless.htm Thomas Jefferson was always reluctant to reveal his religious beliefs to the public, but at times he would speak to and reflect upon the public dimension of religion. He was raised as an Anglican, but was influenced by English deists such as Bolingbroke and Shaftesbury. Thus in the spirit of the Enlightenment, he made the following recommendation to his nephew Peter Carr in 1787: "Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." http://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/jeffersons-religiousbeliefs "In spite of right-wing Christian attempts to rewrite history to make Jefferson into a Christian, little about his philosophy resembles that of Christianity. Although Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence wrote of the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God, there exists nothing in the Declaration about Christianity." http://nobeliefs.com/jefferson.htm "Fix Reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than of blindfolded fear. ... Do not be frightened from this inquiry by any fear of its consequences. If it end in a belief that there is no God, you will find incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise and in the love of others which it will procure for you" (Jefferson's Works, Vol. ii., p. 217).

Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_franklin Benjamin Franklin was also a Freemason and took his Masonic membership seriously. http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/benjamin_franklin.htm http://freemasonsfordummies.blogspot.com/2008/02/benjamin-franklin-and-lodge-ofnine.html "Franklin, who normally preferred to contemplate the eternal in the privacy of his own home, had been invited by Jedediah Andrews to become a member of the Presbyterian church. He attended for five Sundays in a row. He became a pew holder and a contributor, but he nevertheless ceased to attend weekly services... In general, most Franklin scholars have found him to be quite moderate in his attitude toward religion. Typically, Alfred Owen Aldridge has described Franklin as a confirmed Deist, who, in contrast to more militant Deists like Tom Paine, did not attempt to wither Christianity by ridicule or bludgeon it to death by argument." http://www.adherents.com/people/pf/Benjamin_Franklin.html "You desire to know something of my religion. It is the first time I have been questioned upon it. But I cannot take your curiosity amiss, and shall endeavour in a few words to gratify it. Here is my creed. I believe in one God, Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His providence. That He ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable service we render Him is doing good to His other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental principles of all sound religion, and I regard them as you do in whatever sect I meet with them. "As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the World ever saw or is likely to see; but I apprehend it has received various corrupt changes, and I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity; though it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and think it needless to busy myself with it, when I expect soon an opportunity of knowing the Truth with less trouble. I see no harm, however, in its being believed, if that belief has the good consequence, as probably it has, of making his doctrines more respected and better observed; especially as I do not perceive that the Supreme

He served as president of the Second Continental Congress and was the first and third Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Chapter Five.
Illuminati, Freemasons, Secret Societies and Globalization Establishments.
Gen 11:5-6 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. (KJV) Im going to just touch on some of these areas for a couple of reasons. One, many people dont really know about them and two, I think that we are very close to the formation of the Last Days one world government that will be headed up by the Anti-Christ and we are a lot closer than most Christian even realize. I will not set any dates because no man knows the day or the hour (Matthew 24:36), but what Jesus did tell His disciples in that same chapter of Matthew is that this generation shall not pass. I believe that there is a clue that tells us also that the generation that Jesus is speaking about will also know who they are. Matt 24:32-34 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. (KJV) Most scholars understand that the fig tree is Israel. Another clue is also Ezekiel 37 where God explains the valley of the dry bone as being Israel coming back into the land as a nation again in the last days. Now we are 63 plus years from the time of Israel being born-again as a nation (May 14,1948). There is debate as to how long a generation is but, whatever it is, all I know is that we are within that generation someplace and at 63 years old, we are closer to the end then we are the beginning. I also want to stress to the reader, that this rabbit hole is deep with lots of branching tunnels. Another way to look at it is, think of a spider web that is strung in many directions on many branches. It may glisten in the morning sun shining through the droplets of due, but the single purpose is to trap that unsuspecting prey so that the spider can poison and kill. With that said, lets move on.. Illuminati- is a name given to several groups, both real (historical) and fictitious. Historically the name refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776. In more modern contexts the name refers to a purported conspiratorial organization which is alleged to mastermind events and control world affairs through governments and corporations to establish a New World Order. In this

P a g e | - 54 -

context the Illuminati are usually represented as a modern version or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. Johann Adam Weishaupt (6 February 1748 18 November 1830 in Gotha) was a German philosopher and founder of the Order of Illuminati, a secret society with origins in Bavaria. Adam Weishaupt, who defected from the Catholic church and organized the Illuminati, financed by the International Bankers. One of these International Bankers was from the Rothschild family dynasty. This dynasty, at the time, was headed my Mayer Amschel Rothschild.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (23 February 1744 19 September 1812) was the founder of the Rothschild family international banking dynasty that became the most successful business family in history. In 2005, he was ranked 7th on the Forbes magazine list of "The Twenty Most Influential Businessmen Of All Time". The business magazine referred to him as a "founding father of international finance". In 1770, Mayer Amschel Rothschild married Gutele Schnapper. In that same year, he retained Jewish-born, Adam Weishaupt, who was an apostate Jesuit-trained professor of canon law, to revise and modernize Illuminism, with the objective of world domination and the imposition of the Luciferian ideology upon what would remain of the human race after a final orchestrated social-cataclysm. In 1773, Mayer summoned twelve wealthy men to Frankfort and asked them to pool their resources, then presented the 25-point plan that would enable them to gain control of the wealth, natural resources and manpower of the entire world. Those 25 points are: 1. 2. 3. 4. Use violence and terrorism rather than academic discussions. Preach Liberalism to usurp political power. Initiate class warfare. Politicians must be cunning and deceptive any moral code leaves a politician vulnerable. 5. Dismantle existing forces of order and regulation. Reconstruct all existing institutions. 6. Remain invisible until the very moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning or force can undermine it. 7. Use Mob Psychology to control the masses. Without absolute despotism one cannot rule efficiently.

8. Advocate the use of alcoholic liquors, drugs, moral corruption and all forms of vice, used systematically by agenteurs to corrupt the youth. 9. Seize properties by any means to secure submission and sovereignty. 10. Foment wars and control the peace conferences so that neither of the combatants gains territory placing them further in debt and therefore into our power. 11. Choose candidates for public office who will be servile and obedient to our commands, so they may be readily used as pawns in our game. 12. Use the Press for propaganda to control all outlets of public information, while remaining in the shadows, clear of blame. 13. Make the masses believe they had been the prey of criminals. Then restore order to appear as the saviors. 14. Create financial panics. Use hunger to control to subjugate the masses. 15. Infiltrate Freemasonry to take advantage of the Grand Orient Lodges to cloak the true nature of their work in philanthropy. Spread their atheistic-materialistic ideology amongst the "Goyim" (gentiles). 16. When the hour strikes for our sovereign lord of the entire World to be crowned, their influence will banish everything that might stand in his way. 17. Use systematic deception, high-sounding phrases and popular slogans. The opposite of what has been promised can always be done afterwards... That is of no consequence. 18. A Reign of Terror is the most economical way to bring about speedy subjection. 19. Masquerade as political, financial and economic advisers to carry out our mandates with Diplomacy and without fear of exposing the secret power behind national and international affairs. 20. Ultimate world government is the goal. It will be necessary to establish huge monopolies, so even the largest fortunes of the Goyim will depend on us to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with the credit of their governments on the day after the great political smash. 21. Use economic warfare. Rob the "Goyim" of their landed properties and industries with a combination of high taxes and unfair competition. 22. Make the 'Goyim' destroy each other so there will only be the proletariat left in the world, with a few millionaires devoted to our cause, and sufficient police and soldiers to protect our interest. 23. Call it The New Order. Appoint a Dictator. 24. Fool, bemuse and corrupt the younger members of society by teaching them theories and principles we know to be false. 25 Twist national and international laws into a contradiction which first masks the law and afterwards hides it altogether. Substitute arbitration for law. Reading through those 25 points, and watching the way the world and the financial economy is going, looks like things are really on track! Weishaupt, financed by Rothschild, had begun infiltrating the well-established Continental Order of Freemasons with this satanical doctrine. Weishaupt recruited 2,000 agents, the most intelligent men in the field of arts and letters, education, science, finance, and

industry. Weishaupt instructed these well-paid individuals on the best methods of bribing, manipulating and controlling people and the press. (Timeline of the Rothschild Family by Andrew Hitchcock) Weishaupt reorganized the Illuminati by May 1, 1776. The word Illuminati, derived from Lucifer, means holder of the light. The plan deceptively uses the phrase peace on earth and necessitates the destruction of all existing governments and religions through a process of dividing the masses into opposing camps in ever increasing numbers on political, social, economic, and other issues. People would fight and weaken themselves and gradually destroy national governments and religious institutions. (The Illuminati and the Council on Foreign Relations by Myron C. Fagen) The Rothschilds International Banking cartel spread all around Europe by way of Mayer Amschel Rothschilds family and offspring. They were noted as funding both sides of wars. In January 1814, Nathan (one of 5 sons of Mayer) had received a lucrative contract with the British government to supply coinage to pay the British troops who were fighting in the European balance-of-power playoff, the Napoleonic War both sides were financed by the House of Rothschild. From the familys huge network of cash-carrying couriers, Nathan received prior knowledge about the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo. He manipulated consuls in the London Stock Exchange to create panic and frenzied selling. He increased his fortune by 6500 times. He seized control the Bank of England and Englands economy. Three years later he orchestrated a cash-coup in France. There would be many staged cash-coups, world-wide, over the years. The Rothschilds withdrew from the limelight and altered their procedures for fleecing individuals and countries. They now operate through and behind a wide variety of fronts. (The World Order, A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism by Eustace Mullins) http://www.spingola.com/before_rockefeller.htm There is so much information available about the Illuminati both on the internet and in books. The roots of the Illuminati is based in Satanic ideas. This is just as smidgen of the information available. One of the symbols most commonly used by the Illuminati is what is called the Eye of Horus or Eye of Osirus. Not sure what it looks like? Look on the back of your dollar bill. Well talk more about that later. Horus was an ancient a sky god whose eyes were said to be the sun and the moon. However, he soon became strongly associated with the sun (and the sun god Ra as Ra-Horakhty ("Ra, who is Horus of the two horizons") while Thoth was associated with the moon. An ancient myth describes a battle between Horus and Set in which Horus right eye was torn out and Set lost his testicles! Thoth magically restored

Horus eye, at which point it was given the name "Wadjet" ("whole" or "healthy"). In this myth it is specifically stated that it is Horus left eye which has been torn out, so the myth relates to the waxing and waning of the moon during which the moon appears to have been torn out of the sky before being restored once every lunar month. http://www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/eye.html A book I recommend is The Illuminati Facts & Fiction by Mark Dice. Freemasons - is a fraternal organization that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around six million, including approximately 150,000 under the jurisdictions of the Grand Lodge of Scotland and Grand Lodge of Ireland, over a quarter of a million under the jurisdiction of the United Grand Lodge of England and just under two million in the United States. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Freemasonry The main symbol for the Freemasons is the Compass and Square with a G. No one knows with certainty how or when the Masonic Fraternity was formed. A widely accepted theory among Masonic scholars is that it arose from the stonemasons guilds during the Middle Ages. The language and symbols used in the fraternitys rituals come from this era. The oldest document that makes reference to Masons is the Regius Poem, printed about 1390, which was a copy of an earlier work. In 1717, four lodges in London formed the first Grand Lodge of England, and records from that point on are more complete. Within thirty years, the fraternity had spread throughout Europe and the American Colonies. Freemasonry became very popular in colonial America. George Washington was a Mason, Benjamin Franklin served as the head of the fraternity in Pennsylvania, as did Paul Revere and Joseph Warren in Massachusetts. Other well-known Masons involved with the founding of America included John Hancock, John Sullivan, Lafayette, Baron Fredrick von Stuben, Nathanael Greene, and John Paul Jones. Another Mason, Chief Justice John Marshall, shaped the Supreme Court into its present form. http://www.msana.com/historyfm.asp As stated earlier, through the financing of Mayer Amschel Rothschild and the help of Adam Weishaupt, the Illuminati teachings merged with the teachings of Freemasonry. The influence of the Illuminati/Freemasons have over the way of the leaders and governments is pretty strong. Just to look at how many people in the U.S. government and famous people that are involved in the Masons (another name for Freemason) is like a Whose Who list.

http://www.masonicinfo.com/famous1.htm http://www.hoffmanlodge412.org/presidents.htm Most of the rituals of Masons is steeped heavily in the occult and satanic symbolism. Also, has roots in ancient pagan worship of Osiris/Horus of Egyptian mythological roots. There are the higher degrees of Masons that are the 32nd and 33rd degree elites. Most beginner Masons dont know the knowledge of the upper degrees and the worship of Satanism that is the main influence behind the religion of Masonic upper degrees. The letter "G" figures prominently in Freemasonry. In the lower degrees, the initiate is told that this letter stands for "God" and for "Geometry", which the Supreme Architect of the Universe used to design this wonderful Cosmos. However, occultist, and 33rd Degree Mason, Arthur Waite, quotes Eliphas Levi (also 33rd Degree), telling us that the letter "G" stands for Venus, and that Venus' symbol is a lingam, a stylized phallis. (Masonic author, Arthur Edward Waite, The Mysteries of Magic: A Digest of the Writings of Eliphas Levi , Chicago, , DeLaurence, Scott, and Company, 1909, p. 217) Another symbol that is used in Freemason beliefs is the Obelisk. Look familiar? Can you say Washington Monument? The earliest Obelisks were known as benben stones. They were rough hewn and truncated, but they were tipped off by the pyramid ion shape which distinguishes obelisks from other monumental columns. The spirit of the sun god was supposed to enter the stones at certain periods, and on these occasions human sacrifices were offered to it. The victims were probably prisoners of war who had been captured alive, and foreigners, and when these failed the priests must have drawn upon the native population. At On, king after king erected benbens in Res honour, so that by 1300BC the city was full of obelisks. The Roman author Pliny wrote about this city of On where kings entered into a kind of rivalry in forming elongated blocks of stone, known as obelisks, and consecrated them to the divinity of the Sun. 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 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' (Page 341 Masonic and occult symbols illustrated. Dr. Cathy Burns) To understand why the obelisk is so important to masons one has to understand the Masonic version of Egyptian mythology behind their rituals.

Osiris was a king of Egypt who married his sister Isis. His brother Set wished to usurp the throne and so plotted his death. He tricked Osiris into climbing into a golden chest. As soon as he was inside, Set nailed down the lid and flung the chest into the Nile. It was carried off to Byblos in Syria where it came to rest against a small Tamarisk tree or Acasia tree, with the dead Osiris still inside. Isis found out what Set had done to Osiris, so she set off to find her husband. A vision led her to Byblos, where she recovered his body and took it back to Egypt. Alas! Set stole it and tore it into fourteen pieces, which he scattered throughout Egypt to prevent Osiris coming to life again. Isis recovered all but one of the pieces - the penis - and gave Osiris a fit burial. Their son, Horus, avenged him by slaying Set. http://www.christian-restoration.com/fmasonry/obelisks.htm http://emancipationfromslavery.com/sun-worship-iv/sun-worship-iii/ There is a ton of info about Masons available online. I suggest you do some research.

The Skull & Bones - is an undergraduate senior or secret society at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. It is a traditional peer society to Scroll and Key and Wolf's Head, as the three senior class 'landed societies' at Yale. The society's alumni organization, which owns the society's real property and oversees the organization, is the Russell Trust Association, named for William Huntington Russell, who co-founded Skull and Bones with classmate Alphonso Taft. The Russell Trust was founded by Russell and Daniel Coit Gilman, member of Skull and Bones and later president of the University of California, first president of Johns Hopkins University, and the founding president of the Carnegie Institution. The society is known informally as "Bones", and members are known as "Bonesmen." https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Skull_and_Bones Members include both Bush Presidents and George H. W. Bushs father, Prescott Bush and also, John Kerry just to name a few names you might be familiar with. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_Skull_and_Bones_members The symbol for the Skull & Bones is a skull with two cross bones and the number 322. The origin of the Skull and Bones Society, once known as The Brotherhood of Death, in the U.S. begins at Yale when a group of men established an organization for the purpose of drug

smuggling. Indeed, many American and European fortunes were built on the China (opium) trade. The society's alumni organization, which owns its properties and oversees all the organization's activity, is known as the Russell Trust Association (R.T.A.), and is named after one of Bones' founding members. "Those on the inside know it as The Order. Others have known it for more than 150 years as Chapter 322 of a German secret society. More formally, for legal purposes, The Order was incorporated as The Russell Trust in 1856. It was also once known as the "Brotherhood of Death". Those who make light of it, or want to make fun of it, call it 'Skull & Bones', or just plain 'Bones'. The American chapter of this German order was founded in 1833 at Yale University by General William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft who, in 1876, became Secretary of War in the Grant Administration. Alphonso Taft was the father of William Howard Taft, the only man to be both President and Chief Justice of the United States. The order is not just another Greek letter fraternal society with passwords and handgrips common to most campuses. Chapter 322 is a secret society whose members are sworn to silence. It only exists on the Yale campus (that we know about). It has rules. It has ceremonial rites. It is not at all happy with prying, probing citizens - known among initiates as 'outsiders' or 'vandals'. Its members always deny membership (or are supposed to deny membership) and in checking hundreds of autobiographical listings for members we found only half a dozen who cited an affiliation with Skull & Bones. The rest were silent. An interesting point is whether the many members in various Administrations or who hold government positions have declared their members in the biographical data supplied for FBI 'background checks'. Above all, The Order is powerful, unbelievably powerful. If the reader will persist and examine the evidence to be presented - which is overwhelming - there is no doubt his view of the world will suddenly come sharply into focus, with almost frightening clarity. (Americas Secret Establishment An Introduction to the Order of the Skull & Bones By Antony C. Sutton, page 5 and 6) When a person is initiated into Skull and Bones, they are given a new name, similar to the practice of the Illuminati. There is a lot of secrecy behind the Skull & Bones. Initiates are sworn to secrecy. They are required to leave the room if The Order comes into discussion. They cannot -- under oath -- answer questions on The Order and its organization. (Americas Secret Establishment An Introduction to the Order of the Skull & Bones By Antony C. Sutton, page 213)

"The activities of The Order are directed toward changing our society, changing the world to bring about a New World Order. This will be a planned order with heavy restricted individual freedom, without Constitutional protection, without national boundaries or cultural distinction. We deduce this objective by examining and then summing up the actions of individual members: there has been a consistent pattern of activity over one hundred years. Part of this activity has been cooperation with the group, with its parallel and recorded objectives. (Americas Secret Establishment An Introduction to the Order of the Skull & Bones By Antony C. Sutton, page 31) Historically, the operations of The Order have concentrated on society, how to change society in a specific manner toward a specific goal, a New World Order. More or less these elements would have to be: 1. Education - how the population of the future will behave. 2. Money - the means of holding while exchanging goods. 3. Law - authority to enforce the will of the state and world law and a world court is needed for a world state. 4. Politics - the direction of the State. 5. Economy - the creation of wealth. 6. History - what people believe happened in the past. 7. Psychology - the means of controlling how people think. 8. Philanthropy - so that people think well of the controllers. 9. Medicine - the power of over health, life and death. 10. Religion - people's spiritual beliefs, the spur action for many. 11. Media - what people know and learn about current events. 12. Continuously - the power to appoint who follows in your footsteps. (Americas Secret Establishment An Introduction to the Order of the Skull & Bones By Antony C. Sutton, page 31-32) Seems like a lot of those elements are being carried out today. Examples; Obama Healthcare, Political Correctness being taught in schools, News for the most part on TV is geared towards things like Dancing with the Stars and American Idol or what is happening with sports celebrities or TV/Movie celebrities. "Television talk-show hosts are falling over one another to get the latest psychic wonder to appear for an interview. I watched an "extraterrestrial master" perform psychic surgery on the Bionic Woman. For well over a decade we have laughed at the cute antics of Samantha, the "good" witch on Bewitched, and Jeanie, the genie-inthe-bottle in I Dream of Jeanie.

become witches and wizards. From Casper the Ghost to cartoons of space-age marvels children are being taught to accept supernatural phenomena as a wonderful part of their everyday life to be joyfully and fearlessly embraced. Ouija boards are sold in almost every toy store - frequently next to "Dungeons and Dragons." a game which is occult to the core, whatever its devotees may believe. There is hardly a paper in this country that does not publish a daily horoscope." (Johanna Michaelsen, The Beautiful Side of Evil, pg 165, 166). The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an annual, unofficial, invitation-only conference of approximately 120 to 140 guests from North America and Western Europe, most of whom are people of influence. About one-third are from government and politics, and two-thirds from finance, industry, labor, education and communications. Meetings are closed to the public and often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. The original conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem in the Netherlands, from 29 May to 31 May 1954. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group The Group of course, got its name from the hotel of the very first meeting. Each year this group meets in a new undisclosed location someplace in the world. Of course, the location always seems to leak out as does information about what was discussed at the meetings. Usually, the meetings will occur in a five star hotel and local law enforcement is brought in to keep unwanted persons from attending. Kind of makes you wonder if this group is not up a no good, then why the secrecy? The Bilderberg Secretariat proclaims the conferences to be '...private in order to encourage frank and open discussion'. Frank and open discussion is a good thing in any forum but when those doing the discussing are some of the very most powerful financiers and media tycoons in the world it begs the question: If what they discuss is for the good of ordinary people why not publicize it! Isn't it a perverted use of the word 'open' when no-one can find out what they're saying? "If the Bilderberg Group is not a conspiracy of some sort, it is conducted in such a way as to give a remarkably good imitation of one," wrote Financial Times columnist C. Gordon Tether (May 6, 1975). Bilderberg Cabalists are the literal king-makers and king-breakers of the New World Order, choosing their minion-politicians as well as formulating agendas for the continued consolidation of wealth and power on a planetary scale. Their chosen template for Planet Earth is High Tech Feudalism. In 1991, for example, Bilderberger Vernon Jordan first introduced then Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton to world leaders at the annual Bilderberg meeting in Germany. In 1992, Clinton was elected President of the United States. http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?channelid=67&contentid=1291

According to the leaked 2010 documentswhich Daniel Estulin, veteran Bilderberg researcher, obtained from his sources inside the secretive groupissues to be discussed in this year's formal deliberations are: 1. Will the Euro Survive? 2. Development in Europe: Europe's Exit Strategy...On Hold? 3. Do We Have Institutions to Deal With the World Economy? 4. Greece: Lessons and Forward-looking Strategies 5. NATO and Afghanistan: The Practical Agenda for the Alliance 6. Iran and Russia: Economic and Financial Threats to the Alliance 7. The Consequences of War Against Terrorism 8. The Influence of Domestic Issues on American Foreign Policy 9. The Outlook for Japan's Economy 10. The Future of the U.S. Dollar: Alternative Scenarios Think back to this past year in the news and try to remember some of the stuff that has happened. There are still questions on the Euro, the World Economy is getting worse, the future of the dollar is pretty bleak. And whats going on with Iran and Russia? Seems like there is an alliance going on there and things are heating up in a major way. Ezekiel 38 speaks of this very fact with Russia, Iran and the Mid East against Israel. It was rumored that during the 2008 meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, that the Bilderberg Group wanted everybody to be implanted with a RFID micro-chip by 2017. Whether this accually happens by 2017 or not, the bottom line is that they called for it. Reread Revelation 13 again in light of what you now know. It is also rumored the Obama and Hillary Clinton had attended this meeting. Hillary was supposedly asked to step down from running and Obama was said that he was there choice for President. Of course, Hillary stepped down not long after the meeting and Obama won. The interesting thing is that in the Obama Health Care bill was a section for implantable class 2 device. Check out Paragraph 1, Section B of the bill. We discussed this earlier in chapter 3. http://www.helpfreetheearth.com/news242_health.html The Bilderberg Group seems to be pulling the puppet strings on a lot of agendas and these agendas are happening. Again, there is lots of info on the internet. A book I recommend reading is.. The True Story of The Bilderberg Group by Daniel Estulin. The Trilateral Commission is a non-governmental, non-partisan discussion group founded by David Rockefeller in July 1973 to foster closer cooperation among the United States, Europe and Japan. Sensing a profound discord between the nations of North America, Europe and Japan, the Trilateral Commission was
David Rockefeller

founded to foster substantive political and economic dialogue across the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_commission The Trilateral Commission sprang from the Bilderbergers when one of its principal members, Esso or Standard Oil's David Rockefeller came into conflict with his fellows over whether to include Japan in the club. Upon reading the 1970 book Between Two Ages by Zbigniew Brzezinski, David Rockefeller lured Brzezinski, away from Columbia University to become the Chairman and co-founder of the Trilateral Commission in 1973. Brzezinski, who later became the mastermind of Jimmy Carter's foreign affairs and national security blunders, is still looked to as a policy guru by the liberal media today. Using the same collectivist mindset, objectives and premise as the CFR, Rockefeller funded and set up the New York-based Trilateral Commission with Zbigniew Brzezinski as its intellectual architect and purposely patterned after Brzezinski's book. Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski (born March 28, 1928) is a Polish American political scientist, geostrategist, and statesman who served as United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski Of course Brzezinski is famous for his statement, Today, it is infinitely easier to kill a million people than to control a million people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyMp4O-iZu0 He served as director of the Trilateral Commission from 1973 to 1976. The Trilateral Commission is a group of prominent political and business leaders and academics primarily from the United States, Western Europe and Japan. Its purpose was to strengthen relations among the three most industrially advanced regions of the capitalist world. He has also long held a vision of a One World Order or Government. The symbol for the Trilateral Commission is 3 arrows in a stylized 666 format. Kind of interesting that a group/think tank that is set up for a world government agenda would use a 666 in its symbol. http://www.trilateral.org/ Bill Clinton and Al Gore just happen to be members also not to mention several congressmen. There may be more than coincidence to the shared views of formers President Bush Sr. and President Clinton. Both are associated with two influential organizations based in New York City - the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. The Trilateral Commission is sold to the public as cooperation between the United States, Europe, and Japan in Economic affairs. In Truth it is another Secret Society operating

outside the theater of open and transparent politics. This Secret Society is to create a New World Order with a Global Currency and a World Government. They are creating the framework that will be needed for multinational banks and corporations to enact a global control on the world's populations, governments, and economies. A few other members that are also NWO Globalist are Dick and Lynne Cheney, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Henry Kissinger, Richard Holbrooke, Madeleine Albright, Paul Volcke, Alan Greenspan and Diane Feinstein. Of course there are many other members but these are just a few more familiar names. Other Entities that have representatives on the Commission include The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the European Central Bank. The Federal Reserve is represented as well as Chase-Morgan, Citibank, Bank of America, Bank One, Bank of Tokyo, Bank of Japan and others. Remember again, Revelation 13:16-18 speaks of a Mark that is used a global economical identifier that is part of the Last Days Anti-Christ global government. These banks are all tied to setting up a global currency. There are several very large Global Corporate Conglomerates that have members on the Trilateral commission. Fuji Xerox, Goldman Sachs, AIG, Exxon-Mobil, Shell, Chevron, Texaco, Sony, Samsung, Comcast, Time Warner, Levi-Strauss, Sara Lee, GE, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Johnson and Johnson, IBM, Boeing and Citigroup. And again, there are more.. these are just some of the more familiar ones. Once a person sits on the Trilateral Commission they are then moved to positions of power within the government. This enables them to push through legislation that will benefit other Members of the Commission. This is the reason that the Trilateral Commission is considered a Secret Government by many people The Trilateral Commission has influence in both political and economic endeavors and is another reason that the Trilateral Commission is considered a conspiratorial group of the world's power brokers. It appears that they are out to control the globe through a class of Multinational Corporations in a Secret Community. http://reality-bytes.hubpages.com/hub/What-Exactly-Is-The-Trilateral-Commission Council of Foreign Relations - or CFR is an American nonprofit nonpartisan membership organization, publisher, and think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. Founded in 1921 and headquartered at 58 East 68th Street in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, D.C., the CFR is considered to be the nation's 'most influential foreign-policy think tank. http://www.cfr.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Foreign_Relations Founded on July 29, 1921 in New York City by Col.

Through its membership, meetings, and studies, it has been called the most powerful agent of United States foreign policy outside the State Department. Edward Mandell House (July 26, 1858 March 28, 1938) was an American diplomat, politician, and presidential advisor. Commonly known by the title of Colonel House, although he had no military experience, he had enormous personal influence with U.S. President Woodrow Wilson (28th President) as his foreign policy advisor until Wilson removed him in 1919. Mandell House, an agent for the Rothschild- Warburg- Rockefeller cartel (avowed Illuminists), gained national prominence as chief advisor to President Woodrow Wilson. It was House who persuaded President Wilson to sign the Federal Reserve Act, which launched the what we now know as the Federal Reserve Bank. Read the book Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. This book is a detailed study on the formation of the Federal Reserve. The roster of CFR members is thoroughly impressive - so are the power groups who have representatives in it. Its current membership, all 2905 of them, is like reading a "who's who" of the elite politicians, media, financiers, businessmen, and educators. From the CFR comes 90% of the people in the State Department and key positions in the Executive Branch. International banking organizations that currently have men in the CFR include Kuhn, Loeb & Co; Lazard Freres (directly affiliated with Rothschild); Dillon Read; Lehman Bros.; Goldman, Sachs; Chase Manhattan Bank; Morgan Guaranty Bank; Brown Bors. Harriman; First National City Bank; Chemical Bank & Trust; and Manufacturers Hanover Trust Bank. The CFR is totally interlocked with the major foundations (Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie) and the so-called think tanks (Rand, Hudson Institute, Brookings Institute). The left has been systematically infiltrating wealthy and powerful tax-free foundations and government agencies where taxpayers' funds would begin to pour out to support the liberal agenda at home and abroad. The CFR's Study No. 7, published November 25, 1959, openly declared its true purpose: "...building a New International Order [which] must be responsive to world aspirations for peace, [and] for social and economic change...an international order [code for world government]...including states labeling themselves as 'Socialist.'" One could safely say that a nutshell descriptor of the CFR is "to bring about a New World Order through the manipulation of U.S. foreign policy and relations and through international economic interdependence." http://www.jeremiahproject.com/newworldorder/nworder06.html Club of Rome - is a global think tank that deals with a variety of international political issues. Founded in 1968 at Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, Italy, the CoR describes itself as

"a group of world citizens, sharing a common concern for the future of humanity." It consists of current and former Heads of State, UN bureaucrats, high-level politicians and government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists, and business leaders from around the globe. It raised considerable public attention in 1972 with its report The Limits to Growth. The club states that its mission is "to act as a global catalyst for change through the identification and analysis of the crucial problems facing humanity and the communication of such problems to the most important public and private decision makers as well as to the general public." Since 1 July 2008, the organization has its headquarters in Winterthur, Switzerland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_of_Rome http://www.clubofrome.org/ The Limits to Growth is a 1972 book modeling the consequences of a rapidly growing world population and finite resource supplies, commissioned by the Club of Rome. Its authors were Donella H. Meadows, Dennis L. Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and William W. Behrens III. The book used the World3 model to simulate the consequence of interactions between the Earth's and human systems. The book echoes some of the concerns and predictions of the Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus in An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth In September 17, 1973 the Club of Rome issued a report titled the Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System. In this report a map is shown which divides the world into ten political/economic regions. In section 2 paragraph (i) it states.. The world system is represented in terms of interacting regions with provisions made to investigate any individual country or subregion in the context of regional and global development. Presently the world system is represented by 10 regions: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, rest of the developed world, Latin America, Middle East, rest of Africa, South and South East Asia and China. In section 2 paragraph (ii) it states.. In order to be able to deal with the complex of factors involved in problematique in a way which is sound, credible and systematic, a hierarchal structure has been adopted for the model in which each level in the hierarchy represents the evolution of the world system within a context defined by a given set of laws and principles. Specifically, the levels involved are: Geophysical, Ecological, Technological (manmade energy and mass transfers), Economic, Institutional, Socio-political, Value-culture and Human-biological. Such an approach enables and optimal use of confirmed scientific knowledge and available data. In section 3 paragraph (i) it states..

A computer model of the world system has been developed in validated by an extensive set of data. The model has two levels - macro and micro. On the macro level the model of each region includes the gross regional product, total imports and exports, capital and labor productivity and various components of final demand such as public consumption, government expenditure, and total event investment. On the micro level, a production sectors are recognized: Agriculture, Manufacturing, Food processing, Energy, Mining services, Banking and trade, and Residential construction. The input-output framework is used for the intermediate demands. A full scale micro trade matrix also has been developed. In section 3 paragraph (ii) it states.. The world population model has been constructed in terms of the same regions as economic model. The model has been validated by the data available. In each region the population structure is represented in terms of four age groups with appropriate delays which make possible assessment of the population momentum assessment of the effectiveness of implementation of various population control measures. (The Cosmic Conspiracy by Stan Deyo, pages 194, 195, 196) Population control measures? Now what does that mean? Could there be any coincidence here with abortions being legalized in the same year, 1973? Although, ROE V. WADE, 410 U. S. 113 was decided January 22, 1973 and this CoR report was in September 17, 1973 it sure seem like quite a coincidental. Here is how the regions are currently divided.

E. Asia Region 10 - China Hmmm.. I wonder where Israel falls in all these regions? Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. (KJV, emphasis mine) Dan 2:41-42 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes , part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. (KJV, emphasis mine) Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. (KJV, emphasis mine) Hmm. Ten Regions, Ten Kings, Ten Toes, coincidence? I think not! There are a few other groups like the Rand Corporation and a couple others but there is one more group I want to look at that is a little different from all the rest. It is called the Bohemian Grove. Bohemian Grove - is a 2,700-acre campground located at 20601 Bohemian Avenue, in Monte Rio, California, belonging to a private San Francisco-based men's art club known as the Bohemian Club. In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a two-week, three-weekend encampment of some of the most powerful men in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_grove During this two-week, three-weekend stay, The Cremation of Care, an annual theatrical production written, produced and performed by and for members of the Bohemian Club, and staged at the

Bohemian Grove. During this production a group of men are dressed in hooded robes and perform a child sacrifice in effigy in front of a forty foot statue of an owl what They Call the "Great Owl of Bohemia. Members of the so-called "Bohemian Club" include Former Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan. The Bush family also maintains a strong involvement. Walter Cronkite, the infamous and notable TV journalist, is also a member and listed in the directory of members. http://www.jonesreport.com/articles/210607_bg.html They drink heavily from morning through the night, bask in their freedom to urinate on the redwoods, and perform pagan rituals, in which the members wear red-hooded robes. Some (20%) engage in homosexual activity (but few of them support gay rights or AIDS research). They watch (and participate in) plays and comedy shows in which women are portrayed by male actors. Although women are not allowed in the Grove, members often leave at night to enjoy the company of the many prostitutes who come from around the world for this event. Is any of this hard to believe? Employees of the Grove have said that no verbal description can accurately portray the bizarre behavior of the Grove's inhabitants. When powerful people work together, they become even more powerful. The Grove membership is wealthy and becoming more so, while the middle class is steadily becoming poorer. This close-knit group determines whether prices rise or fall (by their control of the banking system, money supply, and markets), and they make money whichever way markets fluctuate. They determine what our rights are and which laws have effect, by appointing judges. They decide who our highest officials shall be by consensus among themselves, and then selling candidates to us via the media which they own. The Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often depicted with owls. There is an old saying in Mexico that is still in use: Cuando el tecolote canta, el indio muere ("When the owl cries/sings, the Indian dies") As birds of the night and birds of prey, the owl has been embraced as a symbol associated with psychic powers, the "angel of death," and the goddess of night. Greek, Roman, and Celtic mythology all employ owls as representatives of spiritual influence. Hinduism also uses the owl as a symbol of cosmic spirituality.
The above Owl is outside a Freemason Lodge in Riga, Latvia.

The Owl is also highly esteemed for wisdom in the Illuminati and Freemasons and can be found in Mason Lodges. Of course the owl is also associated with "wisdom." However, if owls

could talk, Im sure they would "wisely" scold mankind for his careless disregard of Romans 1:22-24.. Romans 1:22-24 "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (KJV)

But, hopefully there will be enough mentioned here that will make you say, Hmmmm! I didnt know that? I need to research more on my own! I also want to state I dont find Satan in everything and under every rock, but there is enough to show hes everywhere! Pentagram is the symbol that most people recognize as a five pointed star. Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia, and are used today as a symbol of faith by many Wiccans, akin to the use of the cross by Christians and the Star of David by Jews. The pentagram has magical associations, and many people who practice Neopagan faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. Christians once more commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus. The pentagram has associations with Freemasonry and is also utilized by other belief systems. The masonic significance of the pentagram is controversial. While it often appears on masonic regalia and decorative illustration, nowhere is it mentioned in masonic rituals or lectures. This does not mean though, that individual freemasons, aware of its historical usage, have not used it to illustrate their own personal interpretations of Freemasonry. Freemasonry has traditionally been associated with Pythagoras, and among Pythagoreans, the pentagram was a symbol of health and knowledge; the pentagram is consequently associated with initiation, as it is in masonic iconography. From Coils Encyclopedia: "The Pentalpha is said to have had a great many symbolic and mystical meanings, but it has no application to Freemasonry...." http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/pentagram.html

Although it has been rumored that long ago, Christians use the pentagram to symbolize the five wounds of Jesus, I dont see it used any longer for that meaning. In Illuminati/Mason and occult circles it is said to symbolize the pattern of the planet Venus makes over a period of 8 years and why the worship of the goddess Venus is also associated with this symbol. The Inverted Pentagram is used to symbolize the lack of respect for the Holy Trinity. The inverted pentagram is most commonly found in Satanism and can also be found to be associated with witch covens. The Baphomet or Satanic pentagram is pointed downward to accommodate the outline of a goat's head. Baphomet (right) is an imagined pagan deity revived in the 19th century as a figure of occultism and Satanism. Often mistaken for Satan, it represents the duality of male and female, as well as Heaven and Hell or night and day signified by the raising of one arm and the downward gesture of the other. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Baphomet The Pentagram with the Goats head is also known as Goat of Mendes. The origins of the "Goat of Mendes" can be traced back to Ancient Egypt. Goats and Rams were worshipped in many cities throughout Egypt thousands of years ago. The Goat is synonymous with Satanism. The horns represent the Horned Gods/Goddesses. Goats also symbolized fertility in many different cultures and times. The Goat as a symbol of fertility and focus of religious rites dates all the way back to Sumeria. http://www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Goat.html Broken or Open Pentagram is also used in Black Magic. According to Manly P. Hall in his book The Secret Teachings of All Ages (page 303 .pdf book), he states, The pentagram is used extensively in black magic, but when so used its form always differs in one of three ways: The star may be broken at one point by not permitting the converging lines to touch; it may be inverted by having one point down and two up; or it may be distorted by having the points of varying lengths. When used in black magic, the pentagram is called the "sign of the cloven hoof," or the footprint of the Devil. The star with two points upward is also called the "Goat of Mendes," because the inverted star is the

P a g e | - 74 -

same shape as a goat's head. When the upright star turns and the upper point falls to the bottom, it signifies the fall of the Morning Star. Another meaning about the open or broken pentagram is supposedly used as a snare or to entrap. The argument is presented that open or broken magical symbols or devices don't work, but those who present this are ignorant of the facts. The broken pentagram is a well know symbol in the occult. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (28 August 1749 22 March 1832) was a German writer, pictorial artist, biologist, theoretical physicist, and polymath. He was also a Freemason. In the play "Faustus" he wrote in 1790; a play that the earliest forms of which, known as the Urfaust, were developed between 1772 and 1775. In Goethe's Faust, the pentagram prevents Mephistopheles, demon of German folklore, from leaving a room https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe http://hermetic.com/sabazius/goethe.htm Mephistopheles: Let me own up! I cannot go away; a little hindrance bids me stay. The Witch's foot upon your sill I see. Faust: The pentagram? That's in your way? You son of Hell explain to me, if that stays you, how came you in today? And how was such a spirit so betrayed? Mephistopheles: Observe it closely! It is not well made; one angle, on the outer side of it, is just a little open, as you see. This suggests that while the pentagram is generally understood to be a tool for protection, to ward off, or keep evil at bay, the broken pentagram is a symbol of magical invocation, of capturing or containment; a symbolic means of a controlling ensnarement. The open pentagram is a snare. Square and Compasses is the single most identifiable symbol of Freemasonry. Both the square and compasses are architect's tools and are used in Masonic ritual as emblems to teach symbolic lessons. Some Lodges and rituals explain these symbols as lessons in conduct: for example, that Masons should "square their actions" and learn to "circumscribe and keep us within due bounds toward all mankind". However, as Freemasonry is non-dogmatic, there is no general interpretation for these symbols (or any Masonic symbol) that is used by Freemasonry as a whole. In English speaking jurisdictions the Square and Compasses are often depicted with the letter "G" in the center. The letter is interpreted to represent different words jurisdiction to

P a g e | - 75 -

jurisdiction. Among the most widely accepted interpretations are that: G stands for God, and is to remind Masons that God is at the center of Freemasonry. In this context it can also stand for Great Architect of the Universe (a reference to God). In a different context, the letter stands for Geometry, described as being the "noblest of sciences", and "the basis upon which the superstructure of Freemasonry is erected." (I would like to add a note on the G means God thing. As far as this G meaning God there is no indication that it is the one true God of the Bible. All indication, especially with all the occult symbolism in Illuminati/Freemason, chances are this G is for an occult/pagan god.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_and_Compasses Eye of Horus and as The Eye of Ra, is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health. The eye is personified in the goddess Wadjet . The name Wadjet is derived from "wadj" meaning "green" hence "the green one" and was known to the Greeks and Romans as "uraeus" from the Egyptian "iaret" meaning "risen one" from the image of a cobra rising up in protection. Wadjet was one of the earliest of Egyptian deities who later became associated with other goddesses such as Bast, Sekhmet, Mut, and Hathor. She was the tutelary deity of Lower Egypt and the major Delta shrine the "per-nu" was under her protection. Hathor is also depicted with this eye. Funerary amulets were often made in the shape of the Eye of Horus. The Wedjat or Eye of Horus is "the central element" of seven "gold, faience, carnelian and lapis lazuli" bracelets found on the mummy of Shoshenq II. The Wedjat "was intended to protect the king [here] in the afterlife" and to ward off evil. Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern sailors would frequently paint the symbol on the bow of their vessel to ensure safe sea travel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_horus The Eye of Horus has also been know as the Eye of Osiris. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Horus Also called the All Seeing Eye of God (which god?) symbol in Illuminati and Freemason lodges. As you can see from this Masonic Symbol on the left, the eye is at the center of the G with the compass and Square. From the Illuminti connection, the beams or rays that are coming out from behind the eye are actually light beams that are radiated from the dog star Sirius. Sirius is located in the constellation Canis Major also known as the Big Dog and is therefore known as the dog star. It is over twenty times brighter than our sun and is

P a g e | - 76 -

twice as massive. At night time, Sirius is the brightest star in the sky. http://www.astronomytoday.com/astronomy/canismajor.html Artifacts of ancient civilizations have revealed that Sirius was of a great importance in astronomy, mythology and occultism. Mystery schools consider it to be the sun behind the sun and, therefore, the true source of our suns potency. If our suns warmth keeps the physical world alive, Sirius is considered to keep the spiritual world alive. It is the real light shining in the East, the spiritual light, where as the sun illuminates the physical world, which is considered to be a grand illusion. Associating Sirius with the divine and even considering it as the home of humanitys great teachers is not only embedded in the mythology of a few primitive civilizations: It is a widespread belief that has survived (and even intensified) to this day. Ancient Egyptians held Sirius in such a high regard that most of their deities were associated, in some way or another, with the star. Anubis, the dog-headed god of death, had an obvious connection with the dog star and Thoth-Hermes, the great teacher of humanity, was also esoterically connected with the star. This is the logo for Sirius Satellite Radio that was used most commonly before the merger of XM Radio and Sirius. Notice that is a dog with one eye that is represented by a 5 pointed pentagram star. Like I mentioned earlier, I dont look for Satan under every rock but this is kind of interesting considering with what we have already discussed. Now, Im not saying that anybody at the top levels of this company is linked to Freemasons or The Illuminati, because I just dont know. Also, Im not saying that they are linked to the occult in any way either. Sometimes, people create logos without any intentions of having a hidden agenda or knowing there is a possibility for there to be a link to anything. Some people just create logos that they find to be cool, which may truly be the case here. Besides, I have an XM Radio and love it! "Symbols are oracular formsmysterious patterns creating vortices in the substances of the invisible world. They are centers of a mighty force, figures pregnant with an awful power, which, when properly fashioned, loose fiery whirlwinds upon the earth." (Manly P. Hall, Lectures on Ancient Philosophy, page 356.) "The crucial question, of course, is what kind of meaning is being conferred by the use of certain symbolswhat stands to be gained, what lost, and by whom." (Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln, The Messianic Legacy, page. 136.)

As spiritual meanings of the New Age movement and the occult symbols are used as tools to communicate. While a majority of these symbols are centuries old, meanings and symbolisms have remained in tack. The New Age movement has been instrumental at placing mystical ancient occult teachings and symbolism everywhere in our modern culture even though we no longer recognize their spiritual implications. This can be disturbing. People are flashing occult symbolism around and have no clue as to what they are doing. Even some Christians do the same thing. Although, there are those people out there that are flashing away and have every understanding as to what they are doing. Even people in high offices of government. But, just because the average person doesnt know the meaning of occult symbols, it in no way negates their significance. What makes this especially disturbing is that while the "marks" of occultism can be found throughout society, yet However, As Manly P. Hall stated, "They are centers of a mighty force, figures pregnant with an awful power." The fact remains; occult symbols have never lost their meaning. Today, New Agers and practitioners of the occult still employ their use, just as mystics have throughout the ages. As an example of people weary occult symbols and probably not realizing it because, they look cool, here is a picture from a CD by the Christian artist Krystal Meyers showing the Illuminati/Freemason symbol Eye of Horus on her shirt. There is probably a good chance that she has no clue as to what it means or she has believed the lie that the Eye represents the Eye of the God of the Bible. Notice that the light rays that is coming out from behind the eye which again symbolizes the light rays from the Dog Star - Sirius. This is just one example of a Christian person that is probably clueless to the symbolism, but there are plenty of others. I think the main problem and reason that Christians get caught up in and not being aware of these types of symbols is because, its not being taught from the pulpits of our churches. Unfortunately, a lot of pastors are also unaware of what is really going on behind the spiritual curtain or they are just afraid to teach this stuff to their congregations. Im not saying that they have to teach every week this type of stuff or even biblical prophecy on last day events, but I think there should be more of an effort to be a watchman on the walls and warn the people of the battle that is being waged and getting more fierce every day.

Ezek 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.(KJV) Owls are an amazing example of Gods handiwork. Depending on the species, owl eyes may account for one to five percent of its body weight. Owl eyes are fixed, forcing the bird to look straight ahead. However, an owls neck has 14 vertebrae, which allows it to turn its head throughout a wide range of motions. In fact, owls can turn their head a full 270 degrees! Truly owls are an incredible display of Gods creative nature. But the owl is more than just a magnificent creature; at least thats what the world of mythology and the occult would like you to believe. As birds of the night and birds of prey, the owl has been embraced as a symbol associated with psychic powers, the "angel of death," and the goddess of night. Greek, Roman, and Celtic mythology all employ owls as representatives of spiritual influence. Hinduism also uses the owl as a symbol of cosmic spirituality. Owls are believed to have played a more prominent role in early Celtic cults, and could perhaps have derived from a more broadly based deity of a common European descent. Predating the Greek cult of Athene, for whom the owl was an animal attribute, were images of these mysterious birds in Celtic lands. So Im sure that you are aware of the owl's association with the gods of mythology and it's popularity with secret societies. "The screech-owl was regarded as the animal familiar of the god Hades just as the little owl (another species) was Athena's bird." Keep this in mind as we look at more symbols. Masonic Apron, pictured here on the left, is just one style. As you can see, the All Seeing Eye or Eye of Horus with the light rays from the Dog Star Sirius radiating from behind the eye. There is a lot of other symbolisms but we will just focus on the eye. The one on the right is another style that again has the eye but this time in a triangle or pyramid and the light rays. But, notice the skull and bones that is on the back side. Could this have reference to the Skull and Bones discussed in Chapter 5? I dont know but I do find it interesting that it is there. I think you may be getting a good idea how steeped into the occult that the Masons are and this is just a scratch on the surface. Too think that several leaders in our government are involved in or associated with the Masons.

What I would like to do now is point out some of the occult symbolism that is in Washington D.C., the Dollar Bill and other symbols of the United States. Have you ever wondered, Why thirteen colonies? Why not twelve colonies? Twelve could have biblical connections with the twelve apostles or even the twelve tribes of Israel. Why thirteen? Well, I always wondered that myself until I did some digging. And of course, I was surprised at what I found. We always assumed that the number thirteen was an unlucky number. Most high rise buildings dont have a thirteenth floor. The elevator just skips that number. I work at different studios in my regular job building sets and there are no stage thirteens on any of the lots. That number is skipped. In the Kabballah, it says that thirteen is not unlucky but represents mans ability to go beyond the zodiac to ascend above the stars of heaven. If you dont know what Kabbalah is, Kabbalah is a set of esoteric teachings meant to explain the relationship between an eternal and mysterious Creator and the mortal and finite universe. Just another mystical belief. Gen 14:4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. (KJV ) According to E. W. Bullinger in his book Number in Scripture on page 186 (PDF version) its a number for rebellion. Hence every occurrence of the number thirteen, and likewise of every multiple of it, stamps that with which it stands in connection with rebellion, apostasy, defection, corruption, disintegration, revolution, or some kindred idea. So thirteen colonies could be a representation of rebellion against Great Britain. But, I found some interesting info that could also be why thirteen. The leader of the Earths Illuminati is called the "Pindar". The Pindar is a member of one of the 13 ruling Illuminati families, and is always male. The title, Pindar, is an abbreviated term for "Pinnacle of the Draco", also known as the "Penis of the Dragon". Symbolically, this represents the top of power, control, creation, penetration, expansion, invasion, and fear. The holder of this rank reports to the purebred Reptilian leader in the inner Earth. The United States was established with 13 colonies, one for each of the Illuminati families. The original flag had 13 stars, and still has 13 stripes. The eagle, the symbol of the United States, holds 13 arrows in its talons. The United States is actually a corporate asset of the Virginia Company that was established in 1604 in England with direct involvement of the Rothschilds. The finances of the Rothschilds were necessary to fund the exploration and exploitation of the North American continent.

The Pindar is represented by the gold cap on the pyramid. The next layer, or "eye", on the pyramid represents the 13 ruling families. They are as follows: 1. Rothschild (Bauer or Bower) Pindar 2. Bruce 3. Cavendish (Kennedy) 4. De Medici 5. Hanover 6. Hapsburg 7. Krupp 8. Plantagenet 9. Rockefeller 10. Romanov 11. Sinclair (St. Clair) 12. Warburg (del Banco) 13. Windsor (Saxe-Coburg-Gothe) Each of the 13 ruling families is given an area of the Earth and/or a particular function to fulfill on the Earth. These particular functions include global finances, military technology/development, mind-control, religion, and media. Each of the 13 ruling families has a Council of 13 as well. The number, 13, has great significance to them. They know that there are 12 types of energies that pass through the 10 aspects of God-Mind. The totality of the 12 energies equals a 13th energy. This is considered the most powerful knowledge. They also know that there are really 13 Zodiac signs, not the commonly acknowledged 12. They have kept the 13th hidden for centuries because it is the sign of the Dragon. They keep the qualities and traits of this sign secret to avoid giving away clues to the Reptilian mind-pattern. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sumer_anunnaki/reptiles/reptiles08.htm http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/index.htm Isnt it interesting that not too long ago, there was on the news of the discovery of a thirteenth zodiac sign? The big hoopla was that you may not be the sign that you thought you were. In other words, you may no longer be a Capricorn because with the new 13th zodiac sign, all the dates shifted and depending on where your birth date fell, your sign may have changed. So the ol pick up line of whats your sign may have new meaning. Horoscope Hang-Up: Earth Rotation Changes Zodiac Signs By Megan Friedman January 13, 2011

If youre the type of person who relies on mysterious-sounding locations of stars to determine your personality and outcome in life, get ready to be shocked. The field of astrology, which is concerned with horoscopes and the like, felt a major disruption from astronomers, who are concerned with actual stars and planets. The astronomers from the Minnesota Planetarium Society found that because of the moons gravitational pull on Earth, the alignment of the stars was pushed by about a month. http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/13/horoscope-hang-up-earth-rotationchanges-zodiac-signs/ That new sign, according to astronomers, is Ophiuchus which is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. Its name is from the Greek which means "serpentbearer." Ok, so now there may be occult reasons for why there are thirteen colonies. I invite you to do your own research into the bloodlines of the thirteen families and their connection to global government. Lets look at the streets of Washington DC and see the occult ties to both the Illuminati and Freemasons. Just so you know, George Washington was involved in helping design the streets and he is a Mason. Also, without going into it, you can do your own research, but, there are specific reasons for why the streets are laid out the way they are and alignments with the Dog Star Sirius and other astrological alignments. I was amazed how deep in the occult this actually all goes and it still goes on to this day.

The picture on the left is straight from Google Earth and you can still see the inverted pentagram. The picture on the right is the same picture but I added the highlights so that you can see the pentagram more clearly. You will also

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 82 -

notice that the bottom point is the White House. But if you look closely, the street doesnt go all the way through on the west point of the pentagram. This doesnt matter, because as stated earlier, this is still a symbol used in satanic and witchcraft to snare or to entrap. You can go to Google Earth, MapQuest or whatever you want and look at the street layout yourself and see that this satanic symbol is there. And yes, it was purposely put there.

Lets look at some more. This one is a little more obscure and difficult to see but it is there. The Freemason Compass and Square with the Capital Building at the top of the Square. The top (North) part of the compass is straight in line with the White House which is the bottom point of the satanic pentagram. Ties the Freemason symbol in with the satanic symbol. Now remember the owl statue at the Bohemian Grove? Now dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the bird that is Gods creation that we call the owl, but to pay homage or worship the creature is satanic. Look at the top of the compass by the Capital Building. Seems they have tied the Freemason Compass in with the Owl that then links it to the Bohemian Grove. Its funny that there are a lot of high ranking government officials that go to the Grove. The picture on the left is still pretty clear it is an owl but the right kind of highlights it better. With the streets and walkways you can see the eyes, wings and it is almost like it is perched on a branch with the streets at the bottom portion. Just makes me wonder who is running this

country? I know who it is behind the scenes pulling the strings of the puppets. The puppet master we know as Lucifer the Devil. But there is more! I know.. Hard to believe! Remember that we discussed the Obelisks in the previous chapter. And that it was a representation of a phallic or male sex organ. Also know as Baals Shaft. The Washington Monument is an Obelisks south of the "Oval" office. Also it is the biggest one in the world. It stands erect at 555 feet which equals 6666 inches. At the ground level each side of the monument measures 55.5 feet long, which is equal to 666 inches. When viewed from the sky, you will see that it is in the center of two intersecting circles

which is a symbol of a female vagina giving it the appearance of an erect penis in a vagina. This is an ancient symbol that is a shaped formed by two interlocking circles and is part of sacred geometry. Piscis refers to the fact that the middle section resembles a fish (piscies). Its mystical meaning has always been shrouded in mystery but most agree that it is meant to represent the feminine principle the vulva of the Goddess. The cornerstone of this massive stone structure was laid by members of the Grand Lodge of the Washington, D.C. on the fourth of July, 1848. Grand Master Benjamin B. French delivered an address at the ceremony wearing the same Masonic apron worn by George Washington himself during the laying of the cornerstone of the Capital. Due east of the Washington Monument is the US Capital Building. The US Capitol is not simply another governmental building. It is

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 84 -

the spiritual center of the United States. Its structure, its art and its symbols all reveal the great importance of secret Fraternities in the shaping of the worlds most powerful government. The Capitol is viewed by the average American as the seat of democracy, where big political decisions are taken. Very few recognize the spiritual elements of the architecture and the symbolism of the building which literally makes it a temple of Masonic mysteries. At the center of it all is George Washington, a 33rd degree Freemason being anointed as the American Christ. The building of the Capitol involved many notions unknown to the common man yet the builders seemed to give great importance to them: alignment with heavenly bodies, importance of lay lines, occult numerology, spiritual energy, etc. Those things might sound like crazy New Age stuff to the average Joe not to the Founding Fathers who attributed great importance to them. Heres a look at the meaning of the Capitol. The United States Capitol, at Washington, D.C., was the creation of a succession of architects who were almost all Freemasons. Originally designed by William Thornton (1759-1828), the work was completed by Brother Benjamin Latrobe (a pupil of the English architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell, 1754-1827) who also redesigned it after the War of 1812. The flanking wings and the great dome were added later by Brother Thomas Ustick Walter. ...The cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol Building was laid with Masonic Honors on September 18, 1793 under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Maryland. At the ceremony, President George Washington presided. Worshipful Brother Washington was assisted by R.W. Bro. Joseph Clarke, Grand Master pro. tem. of Maryland, Wor. Elisha C. Dick, Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22 of Virginia (Washingtons home Lodge) and Wor. Valentine Reintzel, Master of Lodge No. 9 of Maryland (now Potomac Lodge No. 5 of the District of Colombia). http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/ At the top of the dome is a statue of the Goddess of Freedom. The honoring of the Goddess of Freedom began more than two thousand years ago among the ancient Romans. They called Her, Libertas, the Latin word for Freedom. Libertas signified freedom of action, freedom from restraint, independence, rights, and related forms of personal and social liberty. Libertas as a deity usually took the form of a Goddess. A temple to Her on the Aventine Hill in Rome was dedicated around 238 BCE. Sometimes She merged with the chief Roman God Jupiter, in the form of Jupiter Libertas, whose feast was celebrated on April 13.

Although the Roman Empire is no more, the Goddess Liberty still survives. Over the centuries and across cultures, She has continued to signify Freedom in Her appearances in paintings, sculptures, songs, stories, poems, and other literature. In recent centuries, the form She has most often taken is that of Lady Liberty. http://www.circlesanctuary.org/circle/articles/pantheon/GoddessFreedom.html

Frdric Bartholdi

This brings me to the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frdric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. Bartholdi served in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 as a squadron leader of the National Guard, and as a liaison officer to General Giuseppe Garibaldi, representing the French government and the Army of the Vosges. In 1875, he joined the Freemasons Lodge AlsaceLorraine in Paris. In 1871, he made his first trip to the United States, to select the site for the Statue of Liberty, the creation of which would occupy him after 1875. Bartholdi, who received the rank of Commander of the Legion of Honor in 1886, died of tuberculosis, in Paris, on 4 October 1904. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Auguste_Bart holdi The Statue of Liberty, which was designed by Bartholdi and actually built by the French Engineer, Gustave Eiffel (also a Freemason), was not originally a Statue of Liberty at all, but first planned by Bartholdi for the opening of the Suez Canal in Egypt in 1867. Bartholdi, like many French Freemasons of his time, was deeply steeped in Egyptian rituals, and it has often been said that he conceived the original statue as an effigy of the goddess Isis, and only later converted it to a Statue of Liberty for New York harbor when it was rejected for the Suez Canal."

The Statue of Liberty was closely copied after the Goddess Isis/Juno who is the wife of Zeus /Jupiter and Mother of Horus. Which links us back to the Eye of Horus. The Statue of Liberty was presented in 1884 as a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Masons of America in celebration of the centenary of the first Masonic Republic. She is holding the Masonic "Torch of Enlightenment". Also referred to back in the 1700's by the Illuminati Masons as the "Flaming Torch of Reason". The Torch represents the "Sun" in the sky. The Statue of Liberty's official title is, "Liberty Enlightening the World". On a Plaque Inscription about the cornerstone of the statue records how it was laid in a Masonic ceremony. Inscription. At this site on August 5, 1884, the cornerstone of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World was laid with ceremony by William A. Brodie, Grand Master of Masons in the State of New York. Grand lodge members, representatives of the United States and French governments, Army and Navy officers, members of foreign legations, and distinguished citizens were present. This plaque is dedicated by the Masons of New York in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of that historic event. MW Calvin G. Bond, Grand Master of Masons.

The Diadem or Crown at the top of the Statue of Liberty also has occult symbolism. Unlike utility patents, which find their legal root in the Constitution, patent protection was not extended to ornamental designs until an Act of Congress in 1842. The nineteenth century saw a large number of extremely ornate and beautiful design patents filed, including Bartholdi's design patent for the Statue of Liberty in 1879 (U.S. Design Pat. No. 11,023). In US patent number 11,023 the Diadem is described as follows: The head with its classical, yet severe and calm features, is surmounted by a crown or diadem, from which radiates divergently seven rays tapering from the crown and representing a halo. Here is what the seven rays represent: In the occult sciences Light is known as an emanation from God. That Light which opened the eyes of Adam and Eve. This emanation or manifestation of divine Light is divided into seven rays or the seven manifestations of light namely: The ray of freedom, The Ray of Order, The ray of Love, The Ray of Compassion, The Ray of Knowledge, The Ray of Wisdom and last but the most important The Ray of Harmony. These seven rays are better explained by Ernest Wood in his book The Seven Rays: There are seven Forces in Man and in all Nature. The real substance of the Concealed (Sun) is a nucleus of Mother-Substance. It is the Heart and Matrix of all the living and existing Forces in our Solar Universe. It is the Kernel from which proceed to spread on their cyclic journeys all the Powers that set in action the Atoms, in their fundamental duties, and the Focus within which they again meet in their Seventh Essence every eleventh year. He who tells thee he has seen the Sun, laugh at him, as if he had said that the Sun moves really onward in his diurnal path. It is on account of this septenary nature that the Sun is spoken of by the ancients as one who is driven by seven horses equal to the metres of the Vedas; or, again, that, though he is identified with the seven Gana (Classes of Being) in his orb, he is distant from them, as he is, indeed; as also that he has Seven Rays, as indeed he has. The Seven Beings in the Sun are the Seven Holy Ones, self-born from the inherent power in the Matrix of Mother-Substance. It is they who send the seven principal Forces, called Rays, which, at the beginning of Pralaya, will centre into seven new Suns for the next Manvantara. The energy from which they spring into conscious existence in every Sun is what some people call Vishnu, which is the Breath of the Absoluteness. The Seven Rays are said to be seven major types of Light-Substance (spirit/matter) (waves/particles) that compose the created universes. The Seven Rays locally

originate within the Solar Logos, i.e., the consciousness of the Divine Being of the Sun. They have their ultimate origin within the mind of God. Each of the Seven Rays is believed to be associated with a different kind of occult energy, and a different color. Their symbol is the rainbow. All throughout Washington D.C. there are statues and paintings of pagan/occult gods. If the United State was founded under Christian principles, then why all the pagan/occult symbols? I will list just a few but you can do your own research and find that Washington D.C. is filled with these symbols.

Themis was the Greek Goddess of Justice and one of the original Titans in Greek mythology. She was Justitia in Roman mythology.

Outside the United States Capitol Building, to the right side there is a statue of Mars which is the pagan Roman god of war (pagan Greek god Ares / Son of Zeus).

This statue of Washington in the Smithsonian Museum of American History was modeled after descriptions of the statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world.

Now compare this portrayal of Washington to these images of Zeus and Baphomet - do you notice any similarities? There are more pagan/occult symbols in Washington D.C. then there are references to biblical symbols. When I did the research on this, I was just overwhelmed on how steeply entrenched in Satanism there is not only in symbols but also in upper governmental

associations. What a slap in the face of God! These symbols are all over the United States in every major city and state capitals. I truly believe that the average Christian does not even have a clue as to how deep this rabbit hole really goes. The House of the Temple in Washington, D.C. is the headquarters of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A.). This is the home of the Supreme Council (Mother Council of the World of the Inspectors General Knights Commander of the House of the Temple of Solomon of the Thirty-third degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America). The Masons are the real power brokers in America and have been since its founding.

Pagan Roman god Neptune (pagan Greek god Poseidon), ruler of Ancient Atlantis, displayed outside the United States (The New Atlantis) Library of Congress Building. There is also painting of Neptune (Poseidon) on the rotunda ceiling of the United States Capitol Building. http://www.amerocasnewworldorder.c om http://community2.webtv.net/westernmind/WASHINGT ONDC/ http://nobeliefs.com/pagan.htm No depictions of Moses or the Ten Commandments appear at all, on the main entrance.

justices and the sculptor of the pediment, Robert Aitken. The Supreme Court literally reeks of magisterial Paganism.

Now I want to look at one more area of symbols that is on the dollar. Yes, we carry occult symbols in our wallets and purses on the one dollar bill. And again, I will only tough on a few of the more obvious symbols. The dollar is full of hidden symbols and Masonic and Illuminati ties. Of course we all know that George Washington is the 1st United States President so it is fitting he would be on the one dollar bill. And of course he was a 33 degree Mason.

Look close at the upper right corner one. It is the only one to be setting on a shield and if you will notice on the upper left part of the shield hidden in the crescent moon shape is a tiny owl. Remember the discussion of the Owl earlier and the Bohemian Grove and also the street layout at the Capital Building. On the back side of the dollar is the Great Seal of the United States. The back side of the Great seal has the Pyramid with the Illuminati Eye of Horus as a floating cap stone over the Pyramid, with the beams from the Star Sirius radiating from behind the eye. At the bottom of the pyramid is the Roman numerals MDCCDXXVI which is 1776. It has been said that the 1776 is supposed to be for the year that the United States was formed on July 4th but, chances are that it is linked to May 1st, 1776 when Adam Weishaupt started the Illuminati in the United States. Underneath the pyramid is the words NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM An accurate translation of Novus Ordo Seclorum is "A New Order of the Ages," but has also been transliterated as New World Order

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 91 -

Above the pyramid is the words ANNUIT COEPTIS. ANNUIT COEPTIS is the Latin motto suggested in 1782 by Charles Thomson, the Founding Father chosen by Continental Congress to come up with the final design for the Great Seal of the United States. The translation is He has favored our undertakings. The question is, who is he that has favor? It is suggested that the he is God, but with all the rest of the occult symbolism, it begs the question as to which God he is? I really have my doubts that it is the God of the Bible. You will also notice that there are 13 steps on the pyramid which has been suggested to be for the 13 colonies. We have already discussed why 13 colonies and the reasoning behind there being 13 for the elite families. Im not going to go into all the 13s and their meanings on the dollar, but there are a lot of them. Do your own research. Here are some of the 13s. 13 original colonies, 13 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 13 stripes on our flag, 13 steps on the Pyramid, 13 letters in the Latin above, 13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum", 13 stars above the Eagle, 13 plumes of feathers on each span of the Eagle's wing, 13 bars on that shield, 13 leaves on the olive branch, 13 fruits, and if you look closely, 13 arrows. This is called Masonic symbolism. It should also be noted that the Eagle has 32 feathers right wing, but 33 in its left wing. The 32 feathers representing the number of ordinary degrees of the Scottish Rite, and the 33 feathers representing the 33 of Freemasonry. The tail feathers number 9, the number of degrees in the York Rite. The eagle itself is a prominent icon of Masonry, being used extensively in the Scottish Rite. Looking just above the eagles head you will see 13 pentagrams within a cloud. The pentagrams are arranged in the shape of a hexagram - or greater Seal of Solomon. The hexagram is a powerful tool used by pagans to invoke Satan. It is also the sign of Anti Christ with 6 points, 6 angles and 6 planes (666). The eagle replaced the Phoenix in 1841 as the national bird. The Phoenix has been a Brotherhood symbol since ancient Egypt. The Phoenix was adopted by the Founding Fathers (Freemasons) for use on the reverse of the first official seal of the United States after a design proposed by Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental Congress. So as you can see, there is a lot of symbolism of the occult, Illuminati, Freemason and Satanism to be found is not only in the forming of the United States but carried on behind the doors of our government even today. I barely put a tiny scratch into the huge amount of entanglement there is.

Chapter Seven.
Signs, Signs, Everywhere are Signs Signs, Symbols and Occult Ties (part 2).
Luke 21:31-32 likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. (KJV) 1 Tim 4:1-2 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; (KJV) In this chapter I would like to bring to your attention some of the occult symbols that are in corporate logos, in the media and Hollywood. Am I saying that all these people involved are linked to Satanism? No, some people do things without even knowing what link there is or work for companies and corporations not knowing what connections the top managers and CEOs have with the occult. Now, Im not telling you that you cant watch TV or Movies or by products by these corporations that have occult symbolism in their logos. Im a scifi fan myself and work in the tv/movie industry. What I am trying to do is to help you be aware of what is out there and is happening around you so that you can share this info with others that may not be aware. Gaius Plinius Secundus (23 AD August 25, 79 AD), better known as Pliny the Elder, was a Roman author, naturalist, and natural philosopher, as well as naval and army commander of the early Roman Empire, and personal friend of the emperor Vespasian. Spending most of his spare time studying, writing or investigating natural and geographic phenomena in the field, he wrote an encyclopedic work, Naturalis Historia, which became a model for all such works written subsequently. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Pliny_the_Elder Hollywood And some of the media that we watch. What I find interesting about Hollywood is that holly is the whitest of all woods and it was considered sacred by the druids, and played a part in the magic of the Greeks and Romans. It was especially suitable for divination. In early Europe, holly and other thorny plants were believed to repel all evil spirits. (Gale, p. 2.) The same apotropaic properties were noted by Pliny the Elder (23-79 CE).

Pliny tells us that the holly tree if thrown at any animal, even without touching it, had the property of compelling the animal to return and lie down by it. What a magical wood! Divination is the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means. The holly wood seemed to be the favorite wood used by the druid wizards. The traditional role of the wizard is portrayed as prophet, visionary and master of natures elements. The wizard is the genius who works with nature to transform him and others. They are also known as the keepers of secret knowledge and seekers of arcane knowledge and truth. The use of deception was also a part of their practice. Hollywood is in the practice of deception in the sense of placing the viewer of their movies and TV programs within the story. How many times have we watch a movie and been caught up in the story? How many times have we shed a tear in the sad sections of a movie? We know its just a fictitious story and it isnt real but the emotions sometimes take over and suck us in to the story. Isnt it interesting that we call the celebrities of Hollywood stars and the symbol on the dressing room door is a 5 pointed pentagram? Some people idolize these stars. A lot of people know more about their favorite celebrity then they know about what is happening in the world. We have even put sports figures in the realm of celebrity status. And Im sorry, these people get paid way too much money! So we all know about Harry Potter movies. These movies are from the book series by Joanne K. Rowling a British author. There is so much witchcraft in Harry Potter movies that it would take another book. Harry starts out as an apprentice wizard and learns the craft at a school for witches and wizards. Rowlings has actually gone from rags to riches promoting witchcraft in the Harry Potter books. For someone that claims not to be a witch or involved in witchcraft, Rowlings has a very in-depth knowledge of the craft. Even in a September 2000 issue of Entertainment Weekly (USA), Rowlings states, Practicing wiccans think I'm also a witch. I'm not. So if Rowlings isnt a witch, she sure got it right that even wiccans would assume she was one of them. The Twilight saga is a series of four vampire-themed fantasy romance novels by American author Stephenie Meyer. This is another series of big money making movies steeped deeply in the occult. Its basic theme is about Isabella Swan a teenage girl who falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Edward Collen. Seems the biggest money maker movies for Hollywood are geared around the occult. Avatar with New Age reincarnation undertones. Star Wars with wizard magic in the force. The Lord of the Ring series by J. R. R. Tolken that has wizards and mythical creatures. Narnia series by C. S. Lewis that has witchcraft and mythical creatures.

NOTE: I would like to mention that even though many Christians elevate C.S. Lewis as a great Christian writer and theologian, which I also think that he has written many good books pertaining to biblical theology, we also have to remember that he was still a man that was a sinner in need of salvation through Jesus and we still need to look at his stories and writings through the glasses we call the Bible. I would also like to state that as Christians, reading books or watching movies on fantasy or scifi, we need to look at the message being presented through the filter of the scriptures in the Bible. Its not that it is wrong to watch these types of movies or read these types of books, but when we start to embrace them as a source of truth then we are stepping away from the absolute truth of God revealed in the Bible and into the world of New Age philosophies and the occult. As we are approaching the Last Days that the Bible speaks about, one thing that we can be sure of is that Satan will use every means he can get his claws into, to try to bring about his agenda. How many Trekkies (Star Trek fans) are out there? I know I was a trekkie and have seen every Star Trek TV show from the original to Star Trek Enterprise several times. One thing that is always in the back ground is the combined Federation of Planets which is an alignment of several alien species from other planets in a combined effort of peace and exploration. And, the Prime Directive, which is to not interfere with other, more primitive alien species in their evolutionary process of development. Of course, every other episode the Prime Directive was violated. What was presented as being ok, is the intermingling of one species with another species. Example, Spock was the hybrid of his father being Vulcan and his mother being human. Interesting thing about Vulcan is that all the Vulcans have pointed ears. Pointed ears is associated with Pan in Greek religion and mythology, is the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature, of mountain wilds, hunting and rustic music, as well as the companion of the nymphs. He has the hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat, in the same manner as a faun or satyr. With Vulcan/Spocks pointed ears he is also associated with Satan. Even in one of the original Star Trek episodes, Captain Kirk makes reference to this. I cant remember the particular episode but you trekkies out there know what Im talking about. Also, it should be noted that Vulcan was a sun deity who was associated with fire, thunderbolts, and light. There was a festival in honor of him which was called the Vulcania in which human sacrifices were offered. He is identified as Hephaestus of Greek mythology. He was the son of Jupiter and Juno, and husband of Maia and Venus. What is even more interesting is that Vulcan is adored in Masonry under the name of Tubal Cain. In the Masonic Quiz Book the question is asked: "Who was Tubal Cain?" The answer is: "He is the Vulcan of the pagans."

The Columbia Pictures logo has a very close resemblance to the Statue of Liberty which also has resemblance to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar which is equated by the Greeks with either Hera or Aphrodite. Babylonian scriptures called her the Light of the World, Leader of Hosts, Opener of the Womb, Righteous Judge, Lawgiver, Goddess of Goddesses, Bestower of Strength, Framer of All Decrees, Lady of Victory, Forgiver of Sins, Torch of Heaven and Earth. She is the counterpart to the Sumerian Inanna and to the cognate north-west Semitic goddess Astarte. Easter is believed to have derived its name in English from a goddess associate with Spring Eastre. Actually the Goddess Eastre can be traced to the goddess Ishtar whom can also be traced further to Isis (IS) and Hathor - Hathor means House(hat) of Horus(Hor). http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_Easter_originated_from_the_Babylonian_ goddess_Ishtar#ixzz1h0M5VYFV There have been many rumors that Walt Disney (December 5, 1901 December 15, 1966) as being a Mason or involvement with the Freemasons, but few comes from any reputable sources. Although, Walt Disney was a member of the Order of Demolay, a masonic youth group. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000370/bio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeMolay_International Roy Disney (June 24, 1893 December 20, 1971), brother of Walt, was a Mason. I can remember as a kid watching the Wonderful World of Disney and such great nature shows and adventure as well as Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. The Disney organization is a multibillion dollar organization from TV to movies to theme parks. The organization owns ABC, Roy O Disney Touchstone Pictures and Buena Vista to name a few. ABC produces shows like Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sister which both shows promote free sexual lifestyles and the homosexual agenda lifestyle and marriage.

There has been suggested that there are subliminal messages and single frames placed in Disney cartoons to be picked up by the subconscious mind. When the VHS movie of The Little Mermaid came out there was much hoopla about the castle in the background displaying one of the towers as a penis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_%281989_film%29

Other types of things that have been found is supposed sexual messages place within a couple of frames of different Disney animations. The Lion King for instance, has a message of New Age philosophy that we are all one and connected in nature that is the same type of message given in Gaia Mother Earth worship. Within The Lion King movie the ongoing debate over whether or not the word "SEX" appears in dust cloud that swirls at one point in the film in where Simba has just left a conversation with Timon and Pumbaa about mid way through the movie. He flops down on the edge of a nearby cliff, stirring up dust that swirls into the air which you are able to see the word "SEX" in the swirling pattern. Was this an intentional message put in by the animators of Disney? And if so, who made the decision to place it in? It has also been suggest that in the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit that Disney characters and Warner Brothers characters interacted for the first time. In the section that Donald

There are several other examples of supposed Disney subliminal messages that you can do a search on the internet and find them yourself. I know I was quite surprised as to what I found. And Ive really enjoyed Disney movies over the years. There also seems to be a lot of other movies and TV shows that depict Illuminati, Freemason and occult symbolism not to mention premarital sex, the use of drugs and rebellion against parents and authority figures. Im not even going to touch on the music industry but it is also in the music industry from easy listening to heavy metal to rap music. And people wonder why a majority of our youth of today is so rebellious and anti God. I would like to just look at just a few of the logos in the corporate world that show symbolism to Illuminati, Freemason and occult connections. Corporate logos are tools that corporations hope leave an everlasting impression in the minds of current and hopefully future customers. They want their logo to stand out and

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 99 -

when a person sees their logo they know instantly the corporation or company behind the logo or when they hear the name of the company the logo pops into their minds. Apple Computer Who isnt familiar with this logo. An apple with a bite out of it. Even though, the Bible doesnt say what the fruit was that Adam and Eve partook of from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Genesis 3 account, the apple has always been assumed. So, why an apple with a bite out of it instead of a whole apple for Apple Computer? It symbolizes rebellion against God. The late Steve Jobs was highly influence by Zen Buddhism. CBS is a major US commercial broadcasting television network, which started as a radio network. The name is derived from the initials of the network's former name, Columbia Broadcasting System. The network is sometimes referred to as the "Eye Network" in reference to the shape of the company's logo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cbs The logo is similar to the Eye of Horus Time Warner is one of the world's largest media companies which has subsidiaries like CNN (Cable News Network), HBO (Home Box Office), The Cartoon Network and the WB just to name a few. Again the logo is similar to the Eye of Horus Just a reminder, The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health. The eye is personified in the goddess Wadjet (also written as Wedjat,Uadjet, Wedjoyet, Edjo or Uto and as The Eye of Ra or "Udjat"). The name Wadjet is derived from "wadj" meaning "green" hence "the green one" and was known to the Greeks and Romans as "uraeus" from the Egyptian "iaret" meaning "risen one" from the image of a cobra rising up in protection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Horus The Trilateral Commission is a non-governmental, non-partisan discussion group founded by David Rockefeller in July 1973 to foster closer cooperation among the United States, Europe and Japan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission Now it is not hard to see that the 3 arrows form a 666.

Trilateral Commission has part of its agenda as setting up a global government.

This winged symbol is also associated with ancient Egyptian pagan worship. Horus is the Virgin-Born redeemer of the Egyptians, who came into the world to destroy the enemies of the great god, Ra. Therefore Horus changed himself into the form of the winged sun-disk, and took with him the goddesses Nekhebet and Uatchit in the form of two serpents. After their successful war upon the enemies of Ra, Horus commanded Thoth, the God of Secret Wisdom, that the winged sun-disk with the erect serpents should be brought into every sanctuary of all the gods of the lands of the South and North. http://firstlegend.info/3rivers/thewingedsolardisk.html http://www.egyptianmyths.net/thoth.htm Chrysler Group LLC is a multinational automaker headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA. Chrysler was first organized as the Chrysler Corporation in 1925. Notice the wings and central disk. You may also remember this Chrysler logo which is a modified pentagram. Bentley Motors Limited is a British manufacturer of automobiles founded on 18 January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley. Same winks and central disk. Now I would like to make a brief statement, Im not saying that the persons that started these companies and corporations are associated with Satanism or pagan occults. Some are and some arent, but I will say this, if someone isnt a true born again child of God who is save by the Blood of Jesus, then Satan has free reign to use these people however way he chooses. And, if he chooses to incorporate hidden symbolisms into these corporate logos as a means to show the world who is in control of this world, then Satan will do just that without the persons involved even realizing that they are being used as a tool or pawn. Harley-Davidson is an American motorcycle manufacturer. Founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during the first decade of the 20th century. The wings again but this time a shield instead of a disk.

One order of the Knights Templar was known as the Knights of the Red Cross which they have a few versions of a red cross as a part of their symbols. The Lorraine cross was carried to the Crusades by the original Knights Templar and is originally a heraldic cross. The two-barred cross consists of a vertical line crossed by two smaller horizontal bars. In the ancient version, both bars were of the same length. In 20th century use it is "graded" with the upper bar being the shortest. The Lorraine name has come to signify several cross variations, including the patriarchal cross with its bars near the top.

Headquartered in East Hanover, New Jersey, the company is a subsidiary of Illinois-based Kraft Foods. Notice the Cross of Lorraine? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabisco Oreo is a trademark for a popular sandwich cookie by the Nabisco. No!!! Say it isnt so! My favorite cookie only second to homemade chocolate chip cookies. But yep, there is the Lorraine Cross right there on the cookie. The Canted Square. Within the rituals of occultic orders, such as the Freemasons, it is required that the candidate circle the altar of the lodge in a particular manner. It is called circumambulation. Circumambulation is the practice of making a circuit about a thing or in an area of reverence In Masonry, circumambulation involves the making of a circuit around the Lodge, while keeping the right hand toward the altar. The rite is symbolic of the apparent daily course of the sun, and was undoubtedly derived from the ancient sunworship. During the circuits of the lodge room, corners should be squared in accordance with the ancient tradition of squaring the lodge. Further, the Entered Apprentice during initiation shall proceed to the northeast corner of the Lodge three times during the circumambulation, the Fellowcraft during passing shall proceed there four times, and the Master being raised shall proceed there five times. The 47th Proposition of Euclid is known as that amazing Proposition which is the foundation of all Masonry. It is also known as the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is important in building, and one of its uses is to square a room. Builders use the theorem to square the corners of rooms by using the ratio of the numbers three, four and five. three squared plus four squared = five squared. This was, with the Egyptians several thousand years ago, the standard and symbol of perfection ; and they made it also the basis of all their measurements ; they looked on it as the symbol of Universal Nature, the side 4 being Osiris the male principle, 3 the female principle Isis, and 5 Horus the son, the product of these two principles;they said 3 was the first perfect odd number, that 4 was the square of 2 the first even number, and 5 was the result of 3 and 2. Any Mason, after having been raised, has reproduced by circumambulation the numbers three, four and five in the most significant corner of the Lodge, the Northeast, and thereby has unknowingly recited with his feet the formula which is contained in the 47th problem, and thereby has squared the Lodge.

The Oblong Square. Once a candidate has circled the altar and experienced the life and death of the Widows Son, Hiram Abiff, he is taught the proper way to stand before the Worshipful Master in the East.

The Egyptians did the same. http://freemantv.whynotnews.eu/2010/03/illuminati-symbolism/ Dell Computer has the E in a stylized Oblong Canted Square.

Bank of America has a logo that is a stylized Oblong Canted Square. It is sectioned in a way that resembles the Freemason stance, but also a series of three 11s which totals 33 that is also the highest degree in the Freemasons ranking. I think that you may be getting the idea of the logos that are being used in corporations and their link to Freemason and Illuminati symbolism. Whether you agree with some of the stuff that I have shown you here or not, I just ask that you do your own research into the topic. An occult hand sign that is also known as a symbol in Satanism which is to represent the horns of Satan or the Horned God or Devils Salute. Many Satanist or persons involved in the occult will use this hand symbol as a wave or signal to others as a sign of recognition. Its become a symbol that is used in the rock and roll arena and most participants in the audience of rock concerts dont even know the meaning behind this symbol. They are just going with the crowd. This gesture is used in Wiccan and witchcraft as a way to invoke pagan gods or demons. George W. Bush making the gesture of the Devils salute. Remember, G. W. Bush was also a member of the Skull and Bones along with his dad George H. W. Bush and his grandfather Prescot Bush.

The rock group Forsaken gives a double satanic salute. If you were to look at several rock bands album covers, you will also see that there is hidden in plain view some kind of satanic or occultic symbolism

The cover of the Ghost in the Machine album by the band The Police has a 666 in a mirrored fashion. Even in comic books. Here we see Spiderman using the salute as a way to shoot his web. Now, Im not saying that everyone of these instances are deliberate and the persons involved are Satanist, but it sure makes me wonder, especially since there has to be a conscience effort to make these signs and this hand sign/gesture because it isnt a natural position for a persons hand. This is just a sample of things that are happening not only in the way of media, corporate and government, but there is a lot more out there that you can research yourself. As you drive or walk around and notice billboards or watch TV and Movies or read magazines and news papers, just take notice at how many symbols that you spot. You might be surpised! A book I would recommend is Mason and Occult Symbols Illustrated by Dr. Cathy Burns.

Chapter Eight.
UFOs, The New Age and the link to Freemasonry.
Gen 6:2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. (KJV) 1 Tim 4:1 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; (KJV) Ok, this might be the time you need to go and get that tin-foil hat on because there will be some bizarre stuff discussed here. Ill wait for you to get back Ok, youre back, Good!! I want to start of with the discussion of Genesis 6 at the time just before the flood. We all know the story of the flood, Noah and the ark. Its probably one of the many stories from the Bible that we always heard in our Sunday school classes as kids. But as grownups when we read scripture and especially chapter 6 of Genesis, we kind of skim through it and miss a couple of things that is being said. So lets look at it a little. Genesis 6:1-9 [1] And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. [3] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. [4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. [5] And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. [7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. [8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. [9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. In verse 1, Id like you to notice what it says, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. No mention of sons being born although this is assumed. But there is an emphasis placed on the fact that there were daughters born. In verse 2 it mentions that these daughters were fair. In the NASB Bible it states that the daughters were beautiful. So the Sons of God saw these daughters as beautiful

and desirable. Now the question is, who are these Sons of God that took these daughters for wives? There are two views that are presented. The first one I want to talk about is what is known as The Sons of Seth view. This view is that the godly offspring of Seth were these sons of God and the daughters are the ungodly line from Cain. That raises a bunch of questions in my mind. From Genesis 5 that gives the genealogy from Adam to Noah, Seth is a part of the line. And it says he had both sons and daughters. Gen 5:6-7 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: (KJV) So one question I have is if the Seth view is the correct view then it seems that one of the reasons that God flooded the earth and destroyed all flesh is because Seths sons were not to intermarry with Cains daughters. What about Seths daughters intermarrying with Cains sons, doesnt seem to be any mention of that here. Was this a problem with God also or was it ok. Biblically, there doesn't seem to be any mention of the descendants of Seth being especially righteous or holy. In fact, none of the descendents of Seth, other than Noah and his immediate family, were saved from the flood. Also, is the fact that it was actually the son of Seth, Enosh, who led the world into epic levels of apostasy. In Genesis 4:26 it states at the time that Seth had Enos that men began to call on the name of the Lord. Actually, there are some scholars that believe this verse should say profane the name of the Lord. There are some that say that this is where men began to realize their sinfulness and turn to God and call upon him, but the apparent problem with this is then why the flood? Or, why not more in the boat? to defile or profane, and finally, to begin. (from Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright 1997, 2003 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.) Chalal - chalal (khaw-lal'); a primitive root [compare OT:2470]; properly, to bore, i.e. (by implication) to wound, to dissolve; figuratively, to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin (as if by an "opening wedge"); denom. (from OT:2485) to play (the flute): (from Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.) Another question I have is it seems that the offspring of these sons of God taking wives of the daughters of men appear to be a different species or kind then mom and pop. The King James says that they were giants and the NASB says Nephilim. Nephilim, from a primitive

root word naphal (naw-fal') which means to fall and also nephel that is something fallen or an abortion. In a passive form it could also mean "ones who have fallen." With the KJV using the word giants this is the same word used in Numbers 13:33 where the spies said that they saw giants and they felt like grasshoppers. This seems to indicate that the word giants mean they were bigger than normal. The Greek Septuagint renders this term gigantes, which actually means "earth-born." Also, that part of the characteristics of these giants is six fingers and six toes. Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. (KJV) 2 Sam 21:20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers , and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. (KJV) 1 Chron 20:6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant. (KJV) So another question then that comes to mind is that if the Sons of Seth view is correct then why was the offspring giants? Seems to me if mom and pop are normal, then the offspring should be normal. Sure there may have been a few of them that might have grown a little taller than mom and dad but this isnt what is indicated by the verse. The verse seems to indicate that the kids were something completely different then the parents. Just with these few problems with the Sons of Seth view presents enough to indicate that this view just doesnt fit the text. Which brings me to the view I hold and that is the Angel view. This view says that the Sons of God are actually the fallen angels taking the daughters of men and having some sort of relations with them whether it is sexual or some sort of genetic manipulation that brings about an offspring that result in the Nephilim/Giants. First, the term Sons of God translates from the words B'nai Elohim. The only persons in the Old Testament that are called B'nai Elohim are the Angels and Adam. In the Septuagint, which is the Greek translation of the Old Testament, every place that B'nai Elohim is used it is translated angel. The early church viewed the B'nai Elohim as angels up through the late fourth century: Justin, Athenagoras, Cyprian, Eusebius, et al. (also Josephus, Philo, Judeaus, and the Apochrypha regard this view). http://www.khouse.org/articles/1996/43/ http://www.israel-a-history-of.com/greek-septuagint.html

In the New Testament believers are called sons of God only by adoption when they accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. At that point God gives him a brand-new spirit. Only Adam is called the son of God. Because he is a direct creation of God everybody else in the Old Testament are sons of men because they are offspring from their parents. In the New Testament, born-again believers in Christ are called the children of God or the sons of God (Luke 3:38, John 1:12, Romans 8:14, 1 John 3:1). Dr. Bullinger in the companion Bible states: It is only by the divine specific act of creation that any created being can be called a son of God. This explains why every born-again believer is a son of God. It explains also why Adam was a son of God. Adam was specifically created by God, in the likeness of God made He him (Genesis 5:1). Adam's descendents however, were different; they were not made in God's likeness but in Adams. Adam begat a son in his own likeness after his image (Genesis 5:3). Adam was a son of God but Adam's descendents were sons of men. (The Omega Conspiracy; Satans Last Assault on Gods Kingdom by I.D.E. Thomas, pg. 89) Jesus is called the Son of God because his Father is God when Mary became pregnant by the Holy Spirit of God. Of course another thing we have to deal with is the people that will say, Jesus said that Angels dont marry! Well this is true, but let us look exactly at what Jesus did say. Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. (KJV) Jesus made a distinction here by saying angels of God in heaven and not just angels in general. The fallen angels that fell with Satan are still sons of God by direct creation by God, but they are now the angels of Satan and not of God because they follow Satan and not God. So they seem to be given over to a mischievous evil plan that Satan has. That plan was to pollute the human race with imperfect hybrids of an Angel/Man species and if he were to succeed then the Messiah/Jesus could not have been born. When you read in Genesis 3:15, where God has pronounced His judgment, look what he said to the Serpent/Satan. Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (KJV) There are two seeds being discussed here. The seed of the Serpent/Satan and the seed of the woman. The Seed comes from the male. This is the first prophetic word on the virgin birth of Jesus. Satan knew clearly what God meant and so he got to work trying to pollute

the human DNA pool. When you look at Genesis 6:9 again, you see that it says Noah was a just man and perfect in his generation and Noah walked with God. Noah was just because he put his faith in God and trusted God, but perfect in his generations means that he was without blemish. Noah was still a 100% human and I would also say his wife and sons were also because if his wife wasnt without blemish then the sons wouldnt be without blemish and Shem had to be without blemish to be in the linage of Jesus. Also, then the linage gets traced back to Adam who was the son of God. Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. (KJV) Even though we dont hold the Book of Enoch as a part of cannon of scripture, it does bring in a little more clarity as to what happened in Genesis 6. Also, Enoch is quoted from scripture (Jude) and it was held of some value by the early church fathers. Even the Dead Sea Scrolls when they were found in 1947 contained copies of the Book of Enoch. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Dead_Sea_Scrolls Enoch 6 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children. (from Old Testament Pseudepigrapha: Book of Enoch, PC Study Bible formatted electronic database Copyright 2003 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.) Satan is known as the God of this World. And his domain is this world. Whenever we encounter him in scripture hes either roaming, tempting or just causing problems for human kind. But one thing is for sure, even though he has rebelled against God, he still has to get permission from God to do anything and is still subjective to God. Hollywood seems to have painted a picture of him as this guy in red pajamas with a pointed tail, grotesque features and horns on his head. Yet, the Bible doesnt seem to paint that picture.. He must look like a man and he can disguise himself as an Angel of light. Hes a liar and deceiver. Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; (KJV) 2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (KJV)

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (KJV) Matt 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan : for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (KJV) I believe if Satan was standing next to any other, man other than having really good looks, he would probably look just like any other good looking guy. Hes super intelligent and crafty and uses his intelligence to deceive people of the world. He wants worship and desires to be in place of God. Ezek 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. (KJV) Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High . (KJV) I think that many people think that they are getting tempted by Satan personally and I dont think this is so. Hes not omnipresent so he cant be everyplace at once and therefore, cant tempt everybody at the same time. When Satan rebelled he convince a third of the angels to rebel with him. There is no indication in the Bible as to how many that number is, but Im sure that it was quite a large number. So Im sure Satan has assigned a lower ranking angel to be your very own personal tempter. Rev 12:4a And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: (KJV) Satan and his angels live someplace. The Angels exist in a dimensional realm just beyond our ability to see. When Elisha and his servant were surrounded by a large number of Syrian soldiers in 2 Kings, the servant was freaked out because he thought that this was it, they were going to die. But, Elisha said that there was more with them then the enemy and the servant only saw the two of them. Elisha then prayed that God would open the eyes of the servant so that he could see and what happened was God lifted the curtain that divides the dimension where we exist and the dimension where the angels exist so that Elishas servant could see. 2 Kings 6:16-17 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes , that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw:

and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. (KJV) I believe that we as Christians seem to think of Angels as some misty, floating ghost of some kind that has no physicality at all. Yet when we encounter them in the Bible they look like men, they eat, they can be touched and they speak. Even the homosexuals of Sodom desired to have their way with them. Gen 18:1-8 18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. (KJV) I believe that Angels have technology. I dont mean in the same sense as our technology. I dont think that they sit on their couch on Sunday afternoon texting on their cell phones while they watch the football game on their 60 inch high definition flat screen TV. I think their technology is as far beyond our technology as ours is from a monkey. They have mastered the things of physics that we havent even scratched the surface on. They are capable of peering into our dimensional realm and stepping in to our realm as freely as looking through a window or walking through a door. How they do this, I believe, is by use of a technology that is far advanced than ours. At the time of the pre flood period the fallen angels, using their powers and technologies, convinced a majority of the human race that they were gods and should be worshiped. Think about it for a second and put yourself back at a time before the flood when you have no TV, cell phones, cars and planes. These beings with their advanced technologies, whatever that was, are doing things that is beyond the scope of anything that you have ever imagined or seen. In a fallen rebellious state from the time of the garden, you just might see these beings as gods of some kind. Especially, if they come to you and say that they are the ones that created you and demanded your worship with claims of being gods.

Id like to take a side step and talk about a book that was written in 1884 called Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott. The story is about a twodimensional world referred to as Flatland which is occupied by geometric figures. Women are simple line-segments, while men are regular polygons with various numbers of sides. The narrator is a humble square, a member of the social caste of gentlemen and professionals in a society of geometric figures, who guides us through some of the implications of life in two dimensions. The square has a dream about a visit to a onedimensional world (Lineland) which is inhabited by "lustrous points." He attempts to convince the realm's ignorant monarch of a second dimension but finds that it is essentially impossible to make him see outside of his eternally straight line. He is then visited by a three-dimensional sphere, which he cannot comprehend until he sees Spaceland for himself. This sphere, who remains nameless, visits Flatland at the turn of each millennium to introduce a new apostle to the idea of a third dimension in the hopes of eventually educating the population of Flatland of the existence of Spaceland. From the safety of Spaceland, they are able to observe the leaders of Flatland secretly acknowledging the existence of the sphere and prescribing the silencing of anyone found preaching the truth of Spaceland and the third dimension. After this proclamation is made, many witnesses are massacred or imprisoned (according to caste). https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Flatland Using this concept, we have Mr. and Mrs Flat that live in a two dimensional world. Three if you want to count time. All they can comprehend is their own existence because that is all they can see. Take a piece of paper and draw a stick figure. You draw a body with a head arms and legs. As far as Mr. and Mrs. Flat are concerned, their universe or dimension is all they can see and when they look at each other, they see each other as a line because there is no depth. There is only height and width. So when you try to explain to them about a third dimension of depth, they cant understand it because they have no experience of depth. When you see the flatland universe from the side, you see it as a flat plane. You can peer into the flatland universe and see Mr. Flat standing there but Mr. Flat cant see you because you are in your 3 dimensional universe. If you pass a finger through the plane of the Flatland universe then Mr. Flat sees you but only

P a g e | - 114 -

that section of your finger that slices his 2 dimensional realm. When you try to explain your 3D existence to Mr. Flat, he cant comprehend, but if you were to pull Mr. Flat out of his dimension into yours so that he can see his universe the way that you do then he just might start to understand. The Angels were created by God and their existence is in a dimensional realm or perhaps a parallel universe that coexist with ours. Angels have the technology that gives them the ability to cross the wall from their dimension into ours. In their realm, they are passing through a moment by moment existence the same as we are. They arent eternal beings in the same way as God is eternal. Just like us, they had a beginning and just like us, they will live forever. Even the non-believing humans will exist forever in the lake of fire that the smoke of their torment will rise forever. Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (KJV) God transcends beyond any dimension/universe that we live in or even the dimension/universe that the angels live in. Even God, when He entered into our universe, took on the physical attributes of this universe. Jesus was 100% God and 100% human coexisting. The theophany appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament have God taking on the physicality of this dimension/universe. Using the technology that the angels had, some of the fallen angels entered into our realm from their realm and took some of the daughters of men, had some sort of sexual relations or genetic tampering with them to impregnate them. These women would then have an offspring that was an abomination, nephilim, before God. These nephilim then would grow up and intermarry with other humans, therefore, polluting most of the gene pool, of the human race leaving Noah, his wife and his 3 sons as the only few pure humans left at the time of the flood. There could have been other humans left, but chances are, these few were worshiping the fallen angels as gods and blaspheming the one true God in some way. When you look at a lot of the ancient stories and myths that stem from that time period, you find that there are storied of gods having sexual relations with human women and having nephilim or demigod offspring. For example, Hercules is son of Zeus (the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter) and whose mother was a human woman named Alcmene. There are several demigods from this time period that has resulted in ancient stories across all cultures.

From these ancient cultures we also learn that these gods had flying crafts or transportations devices. The descriptions that are handed down are based on the words for the languages the stories come from. In other words, the term airplane wasnt a word used a little over one hundred years ago because there wasnt any such thing as an airplane. Same with the word computer or television. We create words as we created the item or device associated with the term. If you put yourself back a few hundred years and you were to see an airplane flying in the sky, how would you describe it? A metal bird that roared like a lion? However you would describe it, you probably would not use the word airplane or jet because those words didnt exist back then. Ancient cultures didnt have terms like UFO or Flying Saucer so they may use a description like a chariots of fire. Another thing that has happened with our use of language is that we will associate one word to mean what another word means. Example, we all have heard of the company, Xerox. How many of us have ever heard someone or even ourselves use the phrase, could you Xerox me a copy? This type of thing has gone on in all cultures and time and still happens today. We even have changed the meaning of terms like with the word gay. There are plenty of ancient drawings and ancient descriptions of flying devices not to mention all the accounts of the periods after the time of Jesus. Now either these were aliens from other planets disguising themselves as gods or they were fallen angels with their technologies disguising themselves as gods and demanding worship and human sacrifice. These images of two crusaders date from a 12th century manuscript "Annales Laurissenses" (volumes/books about historical and religion events) and refer to a UFO sighting in the year 776, during the siege on Sigiburg castle, France. The Saxons besieged and surrounded the French people. They both were fighting when suddenly a group of discs (flaming shields) appeared hovering over the top of the church. It appeared to the Saxons that the French were protected by these objects and the Saxons fled. Now some naysayers could say that the one on the right could have been a comet, but the one on the left seems to have a saucer shape to it. http://www.ufozero.com/ufos-in-history/ufo-in-art/ufo-annales-laurissenses.html

On the left, are strange looking figures (aliens?) from Sego Canyon , Utah. Estimated up to 5,500 BC. There are literally tons of ancient pictures of drawings, paintings, cave drawings and artifacts that depict either flying crafts of some kind or strange looking characters that not only come from a time period before the flood, but also after the flood and before Jesus. Not to mention the thousands of videos and pictures of todays time period from all over the world. Of course, non-believers will tell you that they are aliens from other planets that either populated the earth in ancient times or used some kind of panspermia or genetic manipulation on apes to bring about the human race. Main problem with these concepts is where did the aliens that started life on this planet come from? Using the same manipulation on another planet to bring about those aliens doesnt answer the question but just pushes it back further. This is just one of the main problems with Mormon theology. Just a note, Im sure Joseph Smith did see the two personages he claims to have seen, I just believe that these two personages were two fallen angels propagating the lie that helped form the Mormon theology.

So in a world of no technology of the pre-flood time the fallen angels disguised themselves as gods that created the human race. But in a world of technology and advancements we have today, Satan has to propagate a new lie and that is an advance race of aliens from another planet or galaxy that helped in the manipulation and creation of life on this planet. As I mentioned earlier, Im a scifi fan and have been ever since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. But, as a Christian, I now know what Satan is doing through the media and TV. Look at all the movies and TV shows that have come out in just the last several years about aliens from other planets. You have Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, V and Stargate just to name a few. Remember that Spock from the Star Trek TV show is from Vulcan that has a human mother and a Vulcan father. Spock is a hybrid nephilim. Its like Satan is prepping the world to accept aliens from another planet as part of the norm. More people believe in the possibility in intelligent life on other planets and that some of this life is so far advanced that interstellar travel for them is like you or I going to the corner market. It is also interesting to me how many of these aliens promote an anti-Christian evolutionary concept. Now I would like to revisit some of the Freemason believes and show the link to some of the New Age beliefs. Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 August 29, 1990) was a Canadianborn author and mystic and also a 33 degree mason. He is perhaps most famous for his work The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, which is widely regarded as his magnum opus, and which he published at the age of 25 (or 27, 1928) He has been widely recognized as a leading scholar in the fields of religion, mythology, mysticism, and the occult. "The supreme human purpose is the perfection of man. This must come first, and when this end has been achieved all good things will inevitably follow." (Manly P. Hall "The Secret Destiny of America" pg. 51) The Secret Doctrine and Isis Unveiled are Madame Blavatsky's gifts to humanity, and to those whose vision can pierce the menacing clouds of imminent disaster it is no exaggeration to affirm that these writings are the most vital literary contribution to the modern world. No more can they be compared with other books than can the light of the sun be compared with the lamp of the glowworm. The Secret Doctrine assumes the dignity of a scripture, . . ." (Manly P.

Augustus Knapp, 32nd Degree, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, Inc., Richmond, Virginia, pg. 48) The mystery of the craft is the same thing as witchcraft. Those professing this theory regard the Comte de St.-Germain as their highest adept and assert that he and Christian Rosencreutz were one and the same individual. They accept fire as their universal symbol because it was the one element by means of which they could control the metals. They declared themselves the descendants of Tubal-cain and Hiram Abiff, and that the purpose of their existence was to preserve the spiritual nature of man through ages of materiality. The Gnostic sects, the Arabs, Alchemists, Templars, Rosicrucians, and lastly the Freemasons, form the Western chain in the transmission of occult science." (Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages pg. 417 PDF file) "Vulcan was a sun deity who was associated with fire, thunderbolts and light. The festival in honor of him was called the Vulcania in which human sacrifices were offered." (Percival George Woodcock, Short Dictionary of Mythology, New York, Philosophical Library, pg. 152) "According to Diel, he bears a family relationship to the Christian devil." (J.E. Cirlot, translated by Jack Sage, A Dictionary of Symbols , New York, Dorset Press, 1991, pg. 362). "It is fascinating to know that he married Venus, another name for Lucifer or the devil ." (Woodcock, op. cit., p. 150-151) What is even more interesting is that Vulcan is adored in Masonry under the name of Tubal Cain. In the Masonic Quiz Book the question is asked: "Who was Tubal Cain?" The answer is: "He is the Vulcan of the pagans.'' Seems to me Spock has pointed ears. Hmmmm!

It is amazing to me that there are some Christians that are involved in the lower levels of the Masons and the Shriners and yet they seem to be oblivious as to what this satanic organization believes. "The Teachers, even Christianity, are, in general, the most ignorant of the true meaning of that which they teach. There is no meaning of that which they teach. There is no book of which so little is know as the Bible. To most who read it, it is as incomprehensible as the Sohar." (Albert Pike - "Morals and Dogma" pg 109 (33 degree Mason)) H.B. Blavatsky (1831 1891) was a theosophist, writer and traveler. Between 1848 and 1875 Blavatsky had gone around the world three times. In 1875, Blavatsky together with Colonel H. S. Olcott established the Theosophical Society. One of the main purposes of this Society was to form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color. Her books were all written by her demonic Guiding Spirits in a form that is called Automatic Writing. Automatic writing is no different then demon possession or what some call today, channeling of Masters or Spirit Guides. "... Hermes, the god of wisdom, called also Thoth, Tat, Set, and Sat-an; and that he was, furthermore, when viewed under his bad aspect, Typhon, the Egyptian Satan , who was also Set." (Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled , Vol. I: Science, New York, Trow's Printing and Bookbinding Company, 1877, p. 554, xxxiii. Colored Emphasis added) Blavatsky like Anton LaVey in the Satanic Bible, had no trouble tying the Infernal Name, Thoth, with Satan, and especially the Egyptian Satan. This subject does go back a long way. Remember Pike's words that "Masonry is identical to the ancient Mysteries!" "Though Masonry is identical with the ancient Mysteries, it is so only in this qualified sense: that it presents but an imperfect image of their brilliancy, the ruins only of their grandeur, and a system that has experienced progressive alterations, the fruits of social events, political circumstances, and the ambitious imbecility of its improvers. After leaving Egypt, the Mysteries were modified by the habits of the different nations among whom they were introduced, and especially by the religious systems of the countries into which they were transplanted. To maintain the established government, laws, and religion, was the obligation of the Initiate everywhere; and everywhere they were the heritage of the priests, who were nowhere willing to make the common people co-proprietors with themselves of

philosophical truth." (Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma" pg 31 PDF file) What this statement means is that Freemasons believe the same as all the Ancient Mysteries and worship the same god, Satan, and they worship Satan under different names. "It is useless and vain for the Protestants to exclaim against the Roman Catholics for their "Mariolatry" based on the ancient cult of lunar goddesses when they themselves worship Jehovah, preeminently a lunar god, and when both Churches have accepted in their theologies the "Sun" - Christ of lunar trinity." (H.B. Blavatsky - "The Secret Doctrine Vol 1 pg 340") "Theosophist - at any rate, some of them - who underdtand the hidden meaning of the universally expected Avatars, Messiah's, Sosioshes and Christ's - know that it is no 'end of the world,' but 'the consummation of the age i.e., the close of a cycle, which is now fast approaching... again the messianic cycle ... of the man connected with Pisces ... It is a cycle historical, and not very long but very occult, lasting about 2,155 solar years... It occured 2410 and 255 B.C., or when the equinox entered into the sign of Ram, and again into that of Pisces. When it engers in a few years, the sign of Aquarius, psychologists will have some extra work to do, and the psychic idiosyncrasies of humanity will enter on a great change." (H.P. Blavatsky - "Lucifer ; A Theosophical Magazine." Sept 1887 - Feb 1888" [Kessinger Publishing 2004] pg 174) H.P. Blavatsky in her book "The Keys to Theosophy" listed 3 main goals of Theosophy. 1. Universal Brotherhood of Humaninty without distinction of race, colour, or creed... 2. To promote the study of the worlds religions ... 3. To investigate the hidden mysteries of nature.. With just a few quotes from Manly P. Hall, Albert Pike and H.P. Blavatsky and with what I already discussed earlier, we can see that Freemasonry has a direct link to Satanism. Alice Ann Bailey (June 16, 1880 December 15, 1949), a leading disciple of the Russian theosophist Madame Helena Blavatsky, formed the Lucifer Publising Company in 1920. 1922 saw the organization's name changed to Lucis Trust (http://www.lucistrust.org/) though the advancement of the Luciferian beliefs remained true. Beliefs that in Blavatsky's words: oppose the materialism of science and every dogmatic theology,

especially the Christian, which the Chiefs of the Society regard as particularly pernicious. http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NewAge/Lucis_Trust.htm Bailey wrote that, in 1919, she was contacted by a Master known as The Tibetan (later associated with the initials D.K., and eventually the name Djwhal Khul). Bailey stated that after initial resistance, she was eventually persuaded to write down the communications from this source. Can you say demon possession. "The Masonic Movement when it can be divorced from politics and social end and from its present paralyzing condition of inertia will meet the need of those who can, and should, wield power. It is the custodian of the law: it is the Mysteries and seat of initiation. It holds in its symbolism the ritual of Deity, and the way of salvation is pictorially preserved in its works. The methods of Deity are demonstrated in its Temples, and under the All-seeing Eye the work can go forward. It is far more occult organization than can be realized, and is intended to be the training school for the coming advanced occultist. " (Alice Bailey - "Externalization of the Hierarchy" [Lucis Trust Publishing] pg 511) The New Age Movement seems to be on the increase. It is called New Age but it propitiates the same old lie of Satan that man can evolve to someday become a god. With the Freemasons promoting a New World Order, it seems that the New Age Movement is promoting the same thing only a little on a different pathway. Marilyn Ferguson (1938 2008) was an American author, editor and public speaker, best known for her 1980 book The Aquarian Conspiracy and its affiliation with the New Age Movement in popular culture. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Marilyn_Fergus on "For the first time an American renaissance is taking place in all disciplines, breaking the boundaries between them, transforming them at their farthest reacheswhere they all converge." (Marylyn Ferguson The Aquarian Conspiracy, pg.12) Speaking of the networks and web of influence, Ferguson proclaimed: "There are legions of conspirators... in corporations, universities, hospitals, on the faculties of public schools, in factories, in doctors' offices, in state and federal agencies, on city councils and the White House staff, in state organizations, in virtually all arenas of policy making in the country [U.S.]...[including] at the cabinet

level of the United States Government." (Marylyn Ferguson The Aquarian Conspiracy, pg.24) However, other New Age proponents said that this is inaccurate, in that she had understated the influence of the New Age worldwide, especially in the UN and the EEC. Benjamin Crme (born 5 December 1922 Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish artist, author, esotericist, and editor of Share International magazine, a monthly non-profit magazine and website. He asserts that the second coming prophesied by many religions will come in the form of "Maitreya", the World Teacher. Maitreya is the name Buddhists use for the future Buddha, but Crme claims that Maitreya is the teacher that all religions point towards and hope for. Other names for him, according to Crme, are the Christ, the Imam Mahdi, Krishna, and the Messiah. Crme says Maitreya is the "Avatar for the Aquarian Age" and is currently living in London since 19 July 1977. Benjamin Crme has been channeling Maitreya's messages for years and trying to promote and condition the world for Maitreya's appearance. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Benjamin_Creme The New Religion will manifest, for instance, through organizations like Masonry. In Freemasonry is embedded the core or the secret heart of the occult mysteries, wrapped up on number, metaphor and symbol ... (Benjamin Crme The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom pg.87) It seems Foster Bailey, (a 32nd degree Freemason, 2nd husband to Alice Bailey, National Secretary of the Theosophical Society and co-founder of Lucifer Publishing Company.), agrees with Crme with these statements: "Is it not possible from a contemplation of this side of Masonic teaching that it may provide all that is necessary for the formulation of a universal religion?"(The Spirit of Masonry, p.113) Foster Bailey states that Masonry "is the descendant of, or is founded upon, a divinely imparted religion..." This religion he explains, "...was the first United World Religion. Then came the era of separation of many religions and sectarianism. Today we are working again towards a World Universal Religion." (ibid p.31)

Albert Pike (December 29, 1809April 2, 1891) was an attorney, Confederate officer, writer, and 33rd Degree Freemason. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Albert_Pike And it seems that Crme falls in line with Albert Pike because according to Albert Pike, Masonry is a religion. And he should know being a 33rd degree Mason and very influential teacher and writer in Freemasonry. They even erected a statue of him in Washington D.C. "Masonry ... is the universal, eternal immutable religion, such as God planted it in the heart of universal humanity. No creed has ever been long-lived that was not built on this foundation ... The ministers of this religion are all Masons who comprehend it and are devoted to it; its sacrifices to God are good works, the sacrifices of the base and disorderly passions, the offering up of self-interest on the altar of humanity, and perpetual efforts to attain to all the moral perfection of which man is capable." ("Morals and Dogma", Albert Pike, page 219, teachings of the 14th Degree, Grand Elect, Perfect, and Sublime Mason) According to Benjamin Crme in a statement he makes in his book The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom (1980), "The New Religion will manifest, for instance, through organizations like Masonry. In Freemasonry is embedded the core or the secret heart of the occult mysteries, wrapped up on number, metaphor and symbol." Unknown to most Masons, there is an occult side to Masonry. It is at levels in Masonry that most Masons never get to. In his book Masonr:y Beyond the Light, William Schnoebelen (now a saved Christian) talks about his experiences as first a Satanist and then a Mason who passed through nearly all the Mason Degrees, including some that American Masons are unaware of; such as degrees in Masonry like the Egyptian rites of Masonry and the Paladin. During his initiation into Palladium Masonry William sadly admits to standing with Masons, some who were also Satanists and chanting; "Glory and Love for Lucifer! Hatred! Hatred! Hatred! to God accursed! accursed! accursed!". He says that hashish provides some of their 'illumination', taking after the 1st 'Illuminati' 18th century Mason Adam Weishaupt.

Maitreya, said to be one of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, is a being regarded by those adherent to Theosophy to be the most spiritually advanced being of human origin that has so far evolved during this Earth round (period of spiritual evolution), except for Buddha, in the Spiritual Hierarchy of Earth. (Sanat Kumara doesn't count, because he is said to be from the civilization that Theosophists believe exists on the etheric plane of Venus that already is hundreds of millions of years in advance of our civilization.) It is believed Maitreya has attained the seventh Level of Initiation. In the teachings of Benjamin Crme and Alice A. Bailey he is also referred to as Christ. The Theosophical concept of the Maitreya is modeled on the Buddhist Maitreya. Are you seeing how the pieces of Satans deception are coming together. The one main common thread in all this is that man can be as god. Same lie that Satan told Eve in the beginning. In 2006 a movie began to circulate called The Secret based on a book of the same name by Rhonda Byrne. It consists of a series of interviews related to the idea of thinking. It states that everything one wants or needs may be accomplished by believing that one will receive that outcome, repeatedly thinking about it, and maintaining positive emotional states to "attract" it. Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, and Larry King were influential in promoting it. The Secret seems to be just another New Age deception, being marketed to the public as a miracle solution for all of ones problems. From the official website for The Secret it states: Towards the end of 2004, and following a string of traumatic events in her personal and professional life, Rhonda Byrne discovered a great secret - the secret laws and principles of the universe. Rhonda's daughter had given her a copy of The Science of Getting Rich, a book written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. Of that moment, Rhonda says, "Something inside of me had me turn the pages one by one, and I can still remember my tears hitting the pages as I was reading it. It gave me a glimpse of The Secret and it was like a flame inside of my heart" http://thesecret.tv/making-of.html What lies behind The Secret is a movement called New Thought, a modern forerunner of the New Age Movement. It has the concept of thinking your wants into reality or to put it

another way, Positive Confession which unfortunately the positive confession movement has been taught by heretical so-called Christian leaders for some time now. Byrne apparently thought she was uncovering a long buried belief, and the DVD forcefully dramatizes this as something kept underground for centuries, with only handfuls of people aware of it. Byrne must never in her life have come in contact with motivational teachers, New Thought churches, or the New Age to believe this. Man is presented as being god-like, with an uncreated nature and the ability to call things into existence. Since man is energy and energy "cannot be created or destroyed," then "The true essence of You, the pure energy of You, has always been and always will be. . . . You are eternal energy." No doubt is left with this comment: "You are God in a physical body. You are a cosmic being. You are all power. You are all wisdom. You are all perfection. You are magnificence. You are the creator and you are creating the creation of You on this planet" and "You are the master of the Universe. http://www.christiananswersforthenewage.org/Articles_SecretMore.html I hope you still have your tin foil hat on because now I want to inform you about the Ralian group. Ralian beliefs and practices are the concepts and principles of the Ralian Church, the religious mission of Claude Vorilhon, a former French auto racing journalist. Followers of Ralism are believers in an advanced race of extraterrestrials called Elohim who created life on earth. A little side note: The term Intelligent Design has been used in Christian circles for a little while now. Seems that science is now showing more and more that there is reason to believe there is evidence for intelligence and design in the universe. We as Christians need to put more stress as to who we mean behind the term Intelligent Design or Designer. Seems like groups like the Ralian people, also believe in an Intelligent Designer, except it isnt the God of the Bible but an alien race called the Elohim. Sound familiar? Ral, a Frenchman and former motor sport journalist and race-car driver whose parents, the Vorilhons, called him Claude when he was born in 1946. He claims that on December 13, 1973, he was in a volcano near Clermont-Ferrand, France, when he saw a UFO "7 meters in diameter made of a very shiny silver metal and moving in a total silence." He says a radiant being emerged and entrusted him with a message revealing the true origin of mankind. They told him that henceforth he would be known as Ral, which means "messenger."

P a g e | - 127 -

This radiant being told him: You will tell human beings about this meeting, but you will tell them the truth about what they are, and about what we are. Judging from their reactions we will know if we can show ourselves freely and officially. Wait until you know everything before you start speaking publicly. Then you will be able to defend yourself properly against those people who will not believe you and you will be able to bring them incontestable proof. You will write down everything I tell you and publish the writings as a book. (Intelligent Design: Message from the Designers by Ral pg. 7-8) When asked where they come from the radiant being said: From a distant planet about which I will tell you nothing for fear that men of the earth might be unwise enough to disturb our peace. Then Ral ask about the distance of their planet and the radiant being responded, Very far. When I will tell you the distance you will understand that it is impossible to reach it with your present level of scientific technical knowledge. (Ibid pg. 8) I dont know about you but that kind of begs the question in my mind that if their planet is too far away for us technologically challenged humans to reach, then why would they fear that men would disturb their peace? Im just saying! This far away race of beings seem to have some pretty advanced technology because when Ral asked the radiant being how long it takes to travel from his home world to earth he said, as long as it takes to think about it (Ibid pg. 8) After a short meeting the radiant being tells Ral to come back the next day with a Bible and something to take notes with. The next day on Rals return to the same meeting spot, the ship again arrives with the radiant being. Ral enters the ship and sits down and again the being proceeds to enlighten Ral. A very long time ago on our distant planet, we had reached a level of technical and scientific knowledge, compatible to that which you will soon reach. Our scientists had started to create primitive, embryonic forms of life, namely living cells in test tubes. Everyone was thrilled by this. The scientists perfected their techniques and began creating bizarre little animals but the government, under pressure from public opinion, ordered the scientists to stop their experiments for fear they would create monsters, which would become dangerous to society. In fact one of these animals had broken loose and killed several people. Since at that time, interplanetary and intergalactic explorations

P a g e | - 128 -

have also made progress, the scientists decided to set out for a distant planet where they could find most of the necessary conditions to pursue their experiments. They chose Earth where you live. Now I would like to refer you to the Bible where you will find traces of the truth about your past. These traces, of course, have been somewhat distorted by successive transcribers who could not conceive of such high technology and could therefore only explain what was described as being a mystical and supernatural force. Only the parts of the Bible that I will translate are important. Other parts are merely poetic babblings of which I will say nothing. I am sure you can appreciate that, thanks to the law, which said that the Bible had always to be re-copied without changing even the smallest detail, the deepest meanings has remained intact throughout the ages, even if the text has been larded with mystical and futile sentences. So let's start with the first chapter of the Bible of Genesis: Elohim, translated without justification in some Bibles by the word God means in Hebrew those who came from the sky, and furthermore the word is a plural. It means that the scientist from our world searched for a planet that was suitable to carry out their projects. They created, or in reality discovered the earth, and realized it contained all the necessary elements for the creation of artificial life, even if its atmosphere was not quite the same as our own. (Ibid pg. 10-11) So what the radiant being is telling Ral basically, is that their scientist, the Elohim, came to Earth and created life. When the radiant being gets to explaining Genesis 1:26 Let us create man in our image.. he states, You can see the resemblance is striking. (Ibid pg. 15) So this alien race, the Elohim, created man. As I read more of the radiant beings explanation to Ral about the creation account, it became very clear that Satan must have went through each verse of the Bible and rehearsed a very deceptive lie. The radiant being explains that fruit was actually the scientific books that would teach the human race how to be creators themselves. Satan telling Eve in the garden that she would become like God. So the radiant being, a fallen angel, is propagating the same lie told to Eve in the garden except with an alien twist to it. On page 65, the radiant being/fallen angel explains that Christs role was to spread the truth that the age of science would finally explain. This Christ would have telepathic faculties which humans lack.

I think you have seen enough from the Ralian Group to know that there is definitely a lie of Satan being promoted. Sad thing is, people believe this lie in some form or another whether it is from this group or from another group. The New Age groups are looking for that ascended Christ Conscious Master. The Freemasons are looking for a New World Order Global Leader. And, UFO groups like the Ralian group are looking for the Elohim to come. I would suspect that when the Rapture of the Church does take place, there will be a UFO invasion of some kind to 1> explain away what happened to all the Christian that just disappeared, 2> explain that they are here to help usher in a New Age of Christ Consciousness, 3> welcome the people of Earth into the Galactic Community and 4> Set up that one world leader that will be the ambassador that rules the Earth for the Galactic Community. Dan 2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. (KJV, emphasis mine) Who are the they that will mingle themselves with the seed of men? They have to be someone different than the seed of men. I would say that the they are the fallen angels/aliens. 2 Thess 2:8-12, [8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (KJV) In verse 11 is states ..God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. In the NIV is say powerful delusion and the lie. Could an invasion of UFO Alien beings that announce they are coming to save the Earth be this Lie that will be believed? I think it is a very good possibility. Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (KJV, emphasis mine) What are these great signs from heaven? Im only speculating but again could this be a UFO invasion? One thing I do know is that the UFO sightings have greatly increased in

recent years. Just doing a little research on this topic, it could be quite an eye opener for you. "A large part of the available UFO literature . . . deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities . . . poltergeist manifestations and 'possession.' Many . . . UFO reports . . . recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena." (cited in John Ankerberg and John Weldon, The Facts on UFO's and Other Supernatural Phenomena, 1992) John Weldon has also been quoted as stating: How credible is it to think that literally thousands of genuine extraterrestrials would fly millions of light years simply to teach new age philosophy, deny Christianity and support the occult? And why would the entities actually possess and inhabit people just like demons do if they were really advanced extraterrestrials? Ok.. you can take the tin foil cap off now..

Chapter Nine.
Statues, Harlots and Beasts.
Dan 2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. (KJV) Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (KJV) With some of what we have discussed, I would like to dedicate this section on what the Bible has to say about where we are headed. In the book of Daniel of the Old Testament, Daniel was a youth that was taken into captivity in 605 B.C during the Babylonian Empire reign of Nebuchadnezzar.

King Nebuchadnezzar II was the son of Nabopolassar (Belesys, to Hellenistic writers), who came from the Marduk-worshiping Kaldu tribes living in the extreme southern part of Babylonia. Nabopolassar started the Chaldean period (626-539 B.C) by restoring Babylonian independence, following the fall of the Assyrian Empire in 605. Nebuchadnezzar was the most famous and important king of the Second Babylonian (or

Neo-Babylonian or Chaldean) Empire, which fell to the Persian great king Cyrus the Great in 539 B.C. http://ancienthistory.about.com/cs/people/g/nebuchadnezzar.htm In Daniel chapter 2, Nebuchadnezzar has a dream that freaked him out. He then ask for an interpretation to his dream from his astrologers and the sorcerers. They asked Nebuchadnezzar to tell them what his dream was. He refused and his excuse was that he couldnt remember what his dream was. Basically, what Nebuchadnezzar was doing was telling these astrologers and the sorcerers if they were real then they should be able to not only interpret the dream but also tell him what it was. When they said that they didnt have the ability to do that and that there would be no king that would require such a thing, Nebuchadnezzar got angry and threatened them with death. I can understand what Nebuchadnezzar was doing. If he would have told them the dream then they could make up any interpretation they wanted that would put Nebuchadnezzar in a positive feel good mood and that would appease the king. It wouldnt matter what they said, to put Nebuchadnezzar in appeasement puts the astrologers and the sorcerers in a positive light. Dan 2:1-12 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof. They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it. The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof. The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. For this cause the king was

angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. (KJV)

Nebuchadnezzar then sent out a decree to have all astrologers, soothsayers, sorcerers and anybody that fell under these categories to be put to death. Daniel, a prophet of God, was wrongly included in this group. I say wrongly because Daniels prophecies came from God and are 100% accurate, astrologers and sorcerers either make things up or are demonically influenced. It amazes me how many fortune tellers and astrologers there are in the world today. Most are just scammers that unintelligent people get sucked into, but there are those few that are demonically influenced. Even every newspaper has astrological forecast in their daily papers. Dont get sucked in to these scams. But I digress. Dan 2:13-15 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. (KJV) So Daniel meets with the king and explains to Nebuchadnezzar that there isnt a man that is able to do what he requests, but there is a God in Heaven that can reveal dreams and interpret the dreams. Daniel then asks the king to give him some time and he would request from God to give him the interpretation. So Daniel goes home and meets with his friends and they pray to God for the interpretation of the dream. So not only did God give Daniel the same exact dream but also the interpretation. Dan 2:16-23 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter. (KJV)

Daniel then meets with King Nebuchadnezzar and explains the dream and the interpretation. Daniel then tells Nebuchadnezzar that only the God of Heaven can reveal the dream and then proceeds to tell Nebuchadnezzar what God has revealed about the great multi-metal layered statue of a man of his dream means. Dan 2:25-45 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation. The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be

divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (KJV) So lets have a look at this statue.. Daniel explained that Nebuchadnezzar and the Babalonian Empier was the head of gold. 612-539 B.C was Neo-Babylonian Period also known as the Chaldean Empire. During this time period from 605-565 B.C was the reign of Nebuchadnezzar; his conquest of Judah and subsequent deportation of some Hebrew peoples which also marked the beginning of the Hebrew Exile. In 539 B.C during the reign of the Babylonian king, Belshazzar, is when they fell to the Medo-Persian empire. From 539 B.C to 330/331 B.C the Persian Empire dominated the Near East. During this reign was the conquest of Lydia and the Greek cities of Asia Minor by Cyrus in 546 B.C. King Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, reigned over the Persian empire at its fullest extent, from Macedon to Egypt and Palestine to India from 521 B.C to 486 B.C. Then Darius I invaded Greece on a punitive expedition against Athens which is known in Greek history as the Persian Wars from 490 B.C to 489 B.C. During the time from 480 B.C to 479 B.C King Xerxes also invades Greece. Things started to change and in 479 B.C the Persian armies are defeated by the Greeks. Then from 334 B.C to330 B.C the Grecian Empire under the rule of Alexander the Great, is the conquest of Persia and in 330 B.C

Alexander enters Babylon and the final fall of the Persians and Mesopotamian dominance over the region takes place and the beginning of Hellenistic/Grecian period begins. The Grecian Empire lasted till about 168 B.C till the Roman Empire moved in. Upon the death of Alexander the Great, his empire was divided up among his four generals: Cassander ruled Greece, Lysimachus ruled Asia Minor, Seleucus, ruled Syria and Babylon, and Ptolemy ruled Egypt. Ptolemais was a daughter of Ptolemy I Soter and mother of Demetrius the Fair, King of Cyrene. Antigonus II Gonatas was the son of Demetrius Poliorcetes, grandson of Antigonus. The Antigonid dynasty was a dynasty of Hellenistic kings descended from Alexander the Great's General Antigonus I Monophthalmus. The three Roman-Macedonian Wars, fought between 215 and 168 B.C. resulted in the collapse of the Antigonid dynasty in Macedonia, and the effective annexation of the territories controlled by the Macedonian empire into the Roman sphere of influence. The Roman Empire was in power from 168 B.C. to 476 A.D. It was during this time, in 70 A.D. Jerusalem was captured and the Second Temple destroyed by the Roman army, led by the future Emperor Titus, with Tiberius Julius Alexander as his second-in-command. Titus captured the city of Jerusalem and slaughtered more than a million Jews. It is said that Jews themselves set fire to the court of the temple, and afterwards the Romans. The temple went up in flames and the destruction of the temple occurred on the Jewish Sabbath, August 10th, 70. The fire melted the gold that was in the temple and the melted gold flowed between the cracks of the stones. Then every stone was then dug through and literally turned over to get the gold. See Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 where Jesus, forty years earlier, gave a prophecy the foretold about the destruction of the temple. Matt 24:1-2 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (KJV)

P a g e | - 137 -

Mark 13:1-2 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (KJV) Luke 21:5-6 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (KJV) The Roman Empire was not conquered but fell because of political corruption, constant wars and heavy military spending, failing economy, unemployment of the working classes, decline in morals and constantly increasing taxes to name a few. Sound familiar? Seems to me, the United States is going down the same path to destruction. Looking a Daniel 7, Daniel has another dream that parallels chapter 2 except instead of a statue, Daniel sees four beasts. Dan 7:1-7 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake

P a g e | - 138 -

in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. (KJV) 1 Lion with eagles wings represents the Babylonian empire and the head of gold in the statue of Nebuchadnezzars dream. Wings are a symbol of speed or swiftness as seen in Habakkuk 1:6-9. 2 The Bear is very vicious and ferocious, but as this one is raised up on one side showing that one side is being favored, thus being weaker. This represents the Medo-Persian Empire where the Medes were the weaker. Also, the silver of the statue in Nebuchadnezzars dream. The ribs can represent the three kingdoms that the Medes and Persians conquered as they were rising to power, these are Lydia, Egypt, and Babylon. 3 - A leopard...four wings of a fowl four heads, also the brass of the statue in Nebuchadnezzars dream, is the Grecian Empire under Alexander the great which rose very quickly to power with the help of his four Generals (4 wings) but at the peak of his rise he died in a drunken debauch at the age of 31 in 323 B.C. Some say it was malaria that killed him. After Alexander the Great died his four generals divided up his kingdom. 1. 2. 3. 4. Cassander - Macedonia and Greece. Lysimachus - Thrace, parts of Asia, Hellespont and Bosporus in the north. Ptolemy - Egypt, Libya, Arabia, Palestine, and Coele-Syria in the south. Seleucus - Syria eastward.

4 A beast, dreadful and terrible is the Roman Empire which was represented as the iron from the statue in Nebuchadnezzars dream. The beast is without description unlike the others. The others were a Lion, Leopard and a Bear but this beast is just called dreadful and terrible. Now as in the statue of Daniel 2 having feet with ten toes, we have ten horns with which a little horn comes out of. Also, the feet of the statue is when the stone that is cut out without hands destroys the statue at the ten toes of the feet where the God of heaven sets up His kingdom it is during these ten horns and the little horn that Ancient of days, God, sets up His Kingdom.

Now lets have a look at Revelation 17 and see how it ties in with Daniel Revelation 17 - [1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. [8] The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.[10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.[11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her

flesh, and burn her with fire. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.(KJV) One thing we have to remember is that when John was writing the book of Revelation he was writing from the island of Patmos where he was imprisoned. Also, we have to remember that he is going to write from language of his day the best he could in describing what he saw. He wrote the book of Revelation at approximately 90 A.D. Interesting that the woman is described as a harlot. As one studies scripture, we find that a harlot always represents a nation or world system that is in rebellion against God and in some kind of pagan worship. Notice she sits upon many waters in verse one and the many waters is explained in verse 15 as peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. This means the harlot or world system is over the entire world. The kings of the Earth are committing fornication with this woman. John used the word King as a representation of leaders or even governments. This could very well mean presidents, kings, dictators or monarchies. In the fact that they are committing fornication or one flesh with the harlot means that they are in alignment with the harlot or world system. Some of the main buzz terms used today by many in the upper levels of governments are New World Order, Global Government and Global Community. 1 Corinthians 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (KJV) In verse 5 on her forehead is written (capital letters in most Bibles) MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Could this statement be linked back to the time of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 under the rule of Nimrod where the world spoke one language and in rebellion against God? I personally think so. We have today created our own one world language, the binary code of 1s and 0s that every computer in the world can understand every other computer of the world. These computers can also translate our spoken languages for us. Also notice that this beast in verse 3 has seven heads and ten horns. Lets first look at the seven heads first.

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 141 -

In verse 10 it says these seven heads represent seven kings where five had already fallen. If we look at these kings as world empires then at the time John was writing this, five world empires that ruled over the area of Israel had risen and fallen already. The five empires that rose and fell at the time John was writing were Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media-Persia and Greece. Egypt and Assyria were empires that came before Babylon of Daniels day so we wont go into details about these two kingdoms. Weve already briefly discussed Babylon, Media-Persia and Greece. Babylon defeated the Empire of Assyria in 612 B.C. And Egypt held the Hebrews in captivity until their exodus led by Moses at approximately 1450 B.C to 1410 B.C. The one (number six) that was in existence at the time of John was the Roman Empire. So that leaves another that had not yet come at the time of John. When it does come, it will be only around for a short period and of course have a major influence of the Jews and Israel. Several have speculated that this seventh empire was during the time of Hitler. I personally think that they could be correct. Hitler was only around for a short time and he did leave a bad mark with the Jews. In verse 9 it also gives another meaning for these seven heads as being seven mountains on which the woman sits. Ive heard two interpretations of this. One is that these interpretations of the seven mountains represent the Seven Hills of Rome which are Aventine, Caelian, Capitoline, Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal and Viminal. This interpretation could have spiritual meaning when you understand that the center for the Roman Catholic Church is centered in Rome and that the harlot may represent the Catholic religious system that has had a global influence. So this interpretation is a very good possibility. The thing to remember is that Rome isnt the only city that is associated with seven hills or mountains. Moscow is claimed to be built around seven hills. Cincinnati, Ohio also has this claim. There are several others also. A second interpretation that may come into play is that the word for mountain may literally mean giant mass of land or a giant land mass which some have interpreted as continent. If this is the case, then could the mountains actually be continents? There are seven continents on the Earth. They are North America, South America, Antarctica, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. So in this interpretation, the Harlot is sitting on seven giant masses of land or continents which means she is sitting on the whole world. This also is a very good possibility to the meaning of the text. In verse 12 we have ten kings which havent received their kingdoms as yet but will have power for a short hour with the beast. Many scholars interpret this beast as the person of the Anti-Christ. If this is true, and I believe it is, then these kings will give over to be

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 142 -

ruled by the Anti-Christ. The word for kings could also mean governmental powers. I would again like to remind you about the Club of Rome that was discussed in chapter six. Remember that the Club of Rome has a plan of dividing the world in to 10 economical world blocks that would then be subjected to a central rule. These ten kingdoms seem to tie into Daniel and the time when God will come and establish His kingdom. In verse 11 it states that the beast will be an eight kingdom. Could this eighth kingdom be what is now in the works with the ten economical blocks of the Club of World and the rising of the New World Order Global Government that we are seeing now? I think so. I would like to briefly touch on Ezekiel 37 and 38. In chapter 37:1-2, God takes Ezekiel and sets him in a valley of dry bones where Ezekiel then walks about and notices that the valley is full of dry bones. Ezek 37:1-2 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. (KJV) The God ask Ezekiel an interesting question can these bones live in which Ezekiel replies, and I paraphrase, I dont know, your God, you tell me. Ezek 37:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. (KJV) Then God tells Ezekiel to do a pretty peculiar thing, prophesy to the bone and tell the bones to hear the word of the Lord, then to tell these bones that God will put breath and life back into them. Ezek 37:4-5 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: (KJV) So of course Ezekiel does what God tells him and as he was prophesying to the bones then clickity-clack clickity-clack the bones started to come together and flesh began to form on the bones, but there still was no life in them. Ezek 37:7-8 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 143 -

when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. (KJV) Then God tells Ezekiel to prophecy to the four wind to breathe life into the bones. And of course Ezekiel does what God tells him to do. Ezek 37:9-10 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. (KJV) Now, I want you to put yourself in the place of Ezekiel. What a really bizarre thing to see. It must have really been a freaky thing to see. Now God then explains that these bones are a representation of the whole house of Israel and that He would bring them back to their own land. Ezek 37:11-12 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. (KJV) Ezek 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: (KJV) At the time Ezekiel receive this prophecy it was sometime between the dates of 592 B.C. and 570 B.C. around the time of Nebuchadnezzar. Judah was in captivity and being ruled by the Babylonians and some, including Ezekiel, were taken into Babylon as hostages. Of course, during the Roman captivity the Jews were driven out of their land again in 70 A.D. during the destruction of Jerusalem. So the prophecy of Ezekiel of Israel coming back in their land to never leave again, had not happened yet and was still a future event even at the time of 70 A.D. In Matthew 24:32 Jesus states to the disciples to learn the parable of the fig tree.

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 144 -

Matt 24:32-34 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: (KJV) The question is who or what is the representation of this fig tree? Many commentators throughout church history have agreed that this fig tree represents the nation of Israel and that Jesus was probably alluding to Jeremiah where Jeremiah saw the people of Israel as two groups of figs, one good group and one bad group. The Lord then tells Jeremiah that the good figs, representing the godly portion of Israel, would someday be planted like a fig tree, never to be rooted up.. An example of Israel being compared to figs is in Jeremiah 24:5-7. Also compare this with Luke 13:6-9 Jer 24:5-7 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs , so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. (KJV) Luke 13:6-9 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. (KJV) The interpretation here is understood that the certain man is the Father, the dresser is Christ, and the fig tree is Israel. If this is correct then the meaning of the parable in Matthew 24:32-34 is understood as the fig tree being Israel coming together again as a nation again. With this understanding then, when Jesus said this generation, what He was talking about wasnt the current generation of the disciples He was talking to, but the generation that would see Israel (tender fig tree) sprout. On May 14, 1948, on the day in which the British Mandate over a Palestine expired, the Jewish People's Council gathered at the Tel Aviv Museum, and approved the following proclamation, declaring the establishment of the State of Israel. The new state was recognized that night by the United States and three days later by the USSR. http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Peace%20Process/Guide%20to%20the%20Peace%20Proces s/Declaration%20of%20Establishment%20of%20State%20of%20Israel

Now when you tie these verses in Matthew and Jeremiah with what God showed Ezekiel in the valley with the dry bones in chapter 37, then you understand that what Ezekiel saw take place happened on May of 1948. Lets look at the next chapter of Ezekiel, chapter 38. Ezek 38:1-8 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. (KJV) Here above, is a map showing the areas that are spoken of in Ezekiel 38 and also from Daniel 11 and Psalm 83. So lets break it down a bit. We have to understand that when the Prophets were writing what they were seeing, they would use the names of persons whose descendents became the peoples that inhabited the land and then became the nations that we have today. So now we can know who those nations are.

Magog is modern day Russian. Meshech,Tubal, Gomer and Togarmah is now modern day Turkey. Persia is now modern day Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Ethiopia (or Cush in some translations) is modern day Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan. Libya (or Put in some translations) is modern day Libya. Now lets look at Daniel 11: 40-45.. Dan 11:40-45 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. (KJV) This verse ties in with Ezekiel 38 with Libya and Ethiopia. At the time of the end The King of the South is Egypt and the King of the North is Syria. Now lets look at Psalm 83.. Ps 83:1-18 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. As

the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. (KJV) Here we see the enemies of Israel that want to destroy Israel and keep their name from being remembered. The Eshmaelites is modern day Saudi Arabia and Tyre is modern day Lebannon. From this map you can see how some of the other names like Moad, Edom and Ammon mentioned in Psalm 83 tie in. Endor was a Canaanite city which is listed in the Book of Joshua (Joshua 17:11) as one of the cities with its dependencies that the Israelites failed to dispossess. It is located between the Hill of Moreh and Mount Tabor in the Jezreel Valley. Gebal is a Mediterranean city in the Mount Lebanon Governorate of present-day Lebanon under the current Arabic name of Jubayl. Midian (Midianites) is believed to be in northwest Saudi Arabia. So this gives you a little bit of an idea as to where some of these names tie in to our modern day map of the Middle East. When you see with what is happening in the Middle East today in the news and you have people like Iran's President Mahmud Ahmadinejad calling for Israel to be wiped of the map. http://www.adl.org/main_International_Affairs/ahmadinejad_words.htm Also, you have Iran and Russia working together. It seems to me that the scenario of Ezekiel 38 is about to happen any day now.

Chapter Ten. The Deceptive False Teachers.


Matt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (KJV) 1 Tim 4:1-2 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; (KJV) According to Scripture, there is a warning that in the last days just before the Lord comes back that there will be a great deception by false teachers that will be so powerful that even the true Christian could be deceived if it were possible. I dont think a true Christian will be deceived because the power of the Holy Spirit that protects the Bride of Christ. But what is clear in the Matthew 24 statement from Jesus is that this deception is going to be very powerful. I think a UFO Alien invasion (great signs and wonders) will be a part of this powerful deception and that the world is getting prepped for this deception now. But as part of the deception there will be some very powerful messengers of Satan that pave the way to this great Lie. In the past recent years there has been an upswing in the amount of celebrities and media that are preaching another gospel that has Jesus described as just another great prophet or an alien of an enlighten ancient race of beings. There is actually a lot to choose from, but I will only touch on a few of the more familiar ones out there. You will find that most all of them are presenting the same Kool-aid but just maybe a little bit in variation of flavor. But, just like Jim Jones Kool-aid, it is full of poison.

Shirley MacLaine (born Shirley MacLean Beaty; April 24, 1934) is an American film and theater actress, singer, dancer, activist and author, well-known for her beliefs in New Age spirituality and reincarnation. (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Shirley_MacLain e) In 1983, Shirley MacLaine wrote an autobiographical book, Out on a Limb, where she described her experience that led to her religious move towards the New Age through an Alien encounter.

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 150 -

In 1987 it was made into a miniseries that aired on ABC TV. It got high ratings. The movie starts out with Shirley walking down the beach of Malibu at sunset, then focuses on her saying that she is going to tell us a story that changed her life. She then said that when she turned 40 she began to ask questions about, what happens when we die, where did we come from, have we lived before, which are all questions that could have been answered if she would have just picked up the Bible and read just the 4 Gospels. Instead, she took the wrong turn down the wrong path that will eventually lead her to the eternal Lake of Fire because of her rejection of the truth of Jesus as Savior. We need to pray for her and hope that she turns from the lie that has her ensnared. Sad thing is, how many people has she enticed to follow her down that same destructive path. Shirley MacLaine says that her journey began with a love affair with a married man by the name of Gerry Stamford, a member of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. There was her first mistake, having an affair. Notice how one sin can lead you farther down the road to destruction if you dont repent and turn to Jesus. She claims that this relationship seemed to be a synchronicity in the relationship like it was meant to be. Later in the movie, Shirley meets a David Manning who is an out of work artist that gives an interpretation to a New Age style of painting that she sees and buys at an art gallery. This David Manning makes the comment to her at a later time that we need to feed mind, body and spirit which gets her to thinking about the meaning. He also states that he doesnt believe in accidents that things happen as they should and there is a purpose in everything. A mixture of truth and lie. He begins to tell her about living past lives, reincarnation. Obviously, he never read Hebrew 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. (KJV) David Manning then introduces Shirley to the Bodhi Tree Bookstore which is a book store that sells mostly books on new age teachings, occult and other non biblical religious beliefs. She then starts reading several books on reincarnation and karma and multiple lives. She then begins to believe that the reason she is so attracted to Gerry Stamford is because they must have been lovers in a past life. As her quest continues she learns about channeling, Edgar Cayce and alien spirits. David Manning then convinces Shirley to stand on a beach and shout the words I am God several times and that all people need to see in themselves that they are God. Genesis 3:1-5 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest

ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (KJV) Later Shirley meets Sture Johanssen and Kevin Ryerson, two mediums who reveal experiences from past lives. Ryerson, it turns out, provides a metaphysical explanation for MacLaine's attraction to Stamford, informing her that 300,000 years ago they were married in Atlantis. In that incarnation, Stamford was preoccupied with making cultural exchanges with extraterrestrials, leaving no time for MacLaine. Also through Kevin Ryerson, Shirley learns that we are all gods and co-creators. Later in Shirleys learning experience, David Manning explains to her that he had met a female alien by the name of Mayan from the Pleadian alien race and the message from her was that Shirley was to write a book and bring this truth to the world. Of course, their truth is anti-God, anti-biblical and anti-Christian. Kind of lets you know where this truth is coming from, Satan. The Secret. I already brought up about the DVD that came out in 2006 called The Secret so Ill touch on it a little here. This movie is based on the book of the same title by Rhonda Byrne. Bryrne claims that one day towards the end of 2004 she discovered the secret laws and principles of the universe. The premise is that of positive confession. That one can just think into existence their reality of things that they want and that through continually thinking positively about wants, needs and emotional desires can be accomplished. It places you in the position as being a god of some kind in the sense that you are creating your world and your reality. From the official website it states; Rhonda immediately began studying the work of the world's finest minds - great thinkers, artists, scientists, inventors, discoverers, and philosophers - drawing from fields as divergent as quantum physics, metaphysics, psychology, and religion. She found again and again that the knowledge of this one principle had run like a golden thread through the lives and the teachings of all the prophets, seers, sages, and saviors in the world's history, and through the lives of all truly great men and women. (http://thesecret.tv) The Secret basically teaches the new age belief that we need to discover the within power or the higher self, the divine mind or our divinity. Also with the use of spirit guides you can

P a g e | - 152 -

use in connecting to this power. Of course, it is never questioned who these spiritual guides are. On the Feb.16, 2007 Oprah Winfrey Show (more on Oprah later) interview with Byrne: Oprah- They say you can have it, in fact you already hold the power to make that happen I realized I always lived by the Secret when I watched the Secret and did not know it was a Secret Rhonda Byrne describes The Secret as the law of attraction. The law of attraction is the most powerful law. The law of attraction says like attracts like. ... The law of attraction is giving you what you are thinking about. It is working all the time What we do is we attract into our lives the things we want, and that is based on what were thinking and feeling, we create our own circumstances by the choices we make in life. And the choices we make are fueled by our thoughtswhich means our thoughts are the most powerful things we have here on earth. Byrne also claims that when we apply these truths that miracles happen and that we can unlock the secrets of the universe by focusing the human mind which will unleash powerful, spiritual energies. These are the same concepts taught by new age gurus and how you need to unlock the god, divinity within you. This same teaching says that you are god and need to realize the Christ consciousness within us all. The real sad thing is that there are people who are claiming to be Christians that are getting caught up in this new age teaching of The Secret. What the Bleep Do We Know!? Is a DVD movie that came out in 2004 which is a narrative that describes the spiritual connection between quantum physics and consciousness. It is another work of how truth gets mixed in with lie to lead people away from the truth of Jesus. This movie has a running back story of a deaf, female photographer learning about how the spiritual is connected to the physical and how by positive or negative thoughts effects the physical world that we live in. As the movie progresses along it switches between the story line of the plot of the photographer and the different Physicists speaking on theories of quantum physics and quantum mechanics. Also introduced into the mix is Judy Zebra Knight also known as JZ Knight, who is an American mystic teacher and author. She also claims and channels a 35,000-year old disembodied spiritual entity from an ancient civilization named Ramtha.

A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 153 -

JZ Knight is also the head and founder of the Ramtha's School of Enlightenment based in Yelm, Washington. Knight claims that through the School, the students have the opportunity to utilize their inner wisdom, focus their brains, and create their own reality. She also teaches that a part of the knowledge that we need to learn is that we are gods. Several producers of the film are also students of the Ramtha's School of Enlightenment. It seems the movie uses distortions of quantum physics to support a mystical viewpoint. A concept taught is that we are just observers that utilize physical bodies to observe with. In a roundabout way, that concept does have some truth to it in that we are spiritual beings that inhabit these physical bodies. Another premise is that quantum mechanics proves a conscious observer is necessary to create reality. The conclusion is we are all god connected together and literally creating reality with our thoughts. Unfortunately the theory of quantum mechanics does not say this. Its just another new age, demonic lie that is used to try to lead misinformed people away from the one true God and the saving knowledge of Jesus. Zeitgeist: The Movie is a 2007 documentary film by Peter Joseph. This movie is in three parts. The second part uses integral footage of several 9/11 conspiracy theory films and discusses the concept of it being an inside job. I wont go into that discussion. The third part is about three wars of the United States during the twentieth century that were waged purely for economic gain propagated by "international bankers." This also I wont go into discussion about. What I will say is that you should at least investigate the concepts on your own about the two topics. What I will discuss is the first part which argues that the Christian religion, specifically, is mainly derived from other religions, astronomical assertions, astrological myths and traditions, which in turn, were derived from or shared elements with others. Of course where Peter Joseph gets his information are from people like Manly Palmer Hall, H.B. Blavatsky, Alice Ann Bailey, a lot from Acharya S. , and also from other people in these same types of circles. All these people are known Luciferians , Satanist or got their info from the same know types of followers of the occult. Acharya S. is the pen name for Dorothy A. Murdock. Acharya is a term from Hinduism usually denoting the formal head of a monastery, sect, or subsect, or a teacher who initiates a disciple into a movement. Acharya S. states the S stands for Sanning on her site but Im not sure the meaning of Sanning if there is any in particular.

She also is connected with New Age Philosophies and Astro-Theology. (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Acharya_S) In this first Part of Zeitgeist, Peter Joseph makes the claims that Jesus never existed and that the stories of Jesus are actually a copy of Horus and other pagan deitys stories. Attis, Krishna, Dionysus and Mithra are the other pagan gods. Here is an example of what is said about Horus and a rebuttal. I will briefly mention a few of the others pagan gods on some key issues, but will supply links to sources for you to research yourself. But pretty much the same responses for Horus will apply to Attis, Krishna, Dionysus and Mithra: 1) Born on December 25th a) The New Testament doesnt mention a date. b) Most scholars believe that Jesus was probably born in the fall. c) Nowhere in Egyptian history does it give a birth date of Horus the son of Osiris and Isis. d) It should be noted that whether or not any pagan deity was born on December 25 th or not, really has no significance to the actual birth of Jesus. Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25. At the festivals conclusion, December 25th, in the 4th century CE, Christianity imported the Saturnalia festival hoping to take the pagan masses in with it. Christian leaders succeeded in converting to Christianity large numbers of pagans by promising them that they could continue to celebrate the Saturnalia as Christians. Through this tradition is how today we celebrate the birth of Jesus on the 25th of December. (http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/Christmas_TheRealStory.htm) 2) Born of a virgin a) There is no indication that Isis was a virgin. As a matter of fact, according to the legend, Isis gathered together the dismembered parts of Horus and had to make a phallus, because that was the only part she could not find, and then through magic and having sexual relations with rebuilt Horus, she became pregnant. She couldnt have been a virgin. b) According to the story of Krishnas birth, the princess Devaki married Vasudev. Krishna was the eight child.. Now you figure that one out. Were the previous seven also virgin born? c) Dionysus was the son of the Greek god Zeus who had sexual relations with a mortal woman by the name of Semele. This hardly qualifies Semele as a virgin when Dionysus was born. 3) Star in the East a) There is no such story in the Horus myth.
A Laymans Look at the Last Days

P a g e | - 155 -

4) Adored by 3 Kings a) This is actually not in the Bible. There is an indication of 3 gifts but not 3 kings. There is a song that is sung at the Christmas Holiday We 3 Kings by John H. Hopkins, Jr. in 1857 but has nothing to do with the Horus myth or with what scripture says as far as there being 3 kings. 5) Teacher at 12 a) No indication in the Horus myth that Horus was a teacher or even did any type of ministry at 12. b) Only mention of the age 12 is when the child passes from adolescence to adulthood. 6) Baptized/ Ministry at 30 a) No indication in the Horus myth that Horus did any ministry at any time let alone at the age of 30. b) There may be some story of a baptism of Horus but no mention of what age this was supposed to have happened if it really did happen. But most Egyptian historical data indicates that a baptism did not happen. 7) 12 Disciples a) Horus actually had followers called Shemsu Heru, these were a group of beings who were closely connected with Osiris. 8) Performed Miracles a) There are some healing "miracles" or magic associated with Horus, but this is with Horus the Child, not Horus the Elder or his adult forms. b) Not one miracle that Jesus did can be found in any of the Horus myths. 9) Lamb of God/ The light a) There is no indication that Horus is ever called the Lamb of God or The Light. There are several titles, such as Son of Osiris and Isis, mentioned of Horus but none that are associated with Jesus. It seems that either Peter Joseph made this up or one of his sources did. b) Jesus calls Himself The Way, The Truth and The Life (John 14:6) and The Light of the World (John 8:12) but nowhere in scripture is He just referred to as just The Light 10)Crucified- Dead for 3 days - Resurrected. a) No indication in Egyptian historical data that Horus was Crucified. He did have one of his eyes ripped out; maybe that is where the All Seeing Eye of the Illuminati stems from. b) No indication Horus was dead for 3 days c) Again, there is no Egyptian historical data for a resurrection. d) Crucifixion wasnt around during the time of Egyptian story of Horus.

P a g e | - 156 -

e) The claim that Attis was dead for three days and later resurrected seems to have its roots in the Magna Maters Spring Festival. He was then reborn as a pine-tree. Sorry, that just sounds like fertilizer to me. f) Krishna also was not resurrected in the sense that Jesus was, with a body of flesh and blood (Luke 24: 39). On the contrary, it is believed that Krishna left his body behind when he died and went to be with the gods. It seems that Zeitgeist uses sources that are not credible or reliable. (http://www.philvaz.com/apologetics/HORUS.htm) (http://www.falsezeitgeist.com/scholarly-response-to-zeitgeist) (http://explanationblog.wordpress.com/the-myth-of-jesus-a-refutation-of-the-zeitgeist/) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxjBgpJTya8) Also, the Zeitgeist movie basically says that Jesus didnt exist but what do scholars say.. "There are as many non-Christian sources who mention Jesus within 150 years of his life as there are who mention the Roman Emperor contemporary with Jesus' ministry within 150 years of his life. Those who propose that Jesus never existed must reasonably account for these sources. While those who tried to believe their arguments are reasonable, they have not convinced many. In fact, I am not aware of a single widely-respected scholar in the world who holds the position that Jesus never existed." (Mike Licona, MA Religious Studies Ph.D. and Historian) "'The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors: Or Christianity before Christ' is unreliable, but no comprehensive critique exists. Most scholars immediately recognize many of his findings as unsupportive and dismiss Graves as useless. After all, a scholar who rarely cites a source isn't useful to have as a reference even if he is right... In general, even when the evidence is real, it often only appears many years after Christianity began, and thus might be evidence of diffusion in the other direction. Another typical problem is that Graves draws far too much from what often amounts to rather vague evidence. (Richard Carrier, M.A. Ancient History, M. Phil. Ancient History and analysis of "The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors: Christianity before Christ" by Kersey Graves) Kersey Graves (November 21, 1813 September 4, 1883) was a skeptic, atheist, spiritualist, Non-theist Friend, reformist and writer. My question about Kersey Graves is how you can claim to be an atheist but yet be in contact with spirits. I could be missing something here but it seems to me that if you are a spiritualist you

believe in some sort of god even if you are the god that you believe in. But, I could be wrong. Something that I find funny is that Richard Carrier is an advocate of atheism and metaphysical naturalism, yet he claims that another atheists credibility on Jesus and the sources used are in question. Kind of brings to mind something Jesus stated Mark 3:26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. (KJV) Makes you wonder if Satan is even reading his own play book. "She (Acharya S./D. A. Murdock) is quick to state as bald fact what turn out to be, once one chases down her sources, either wild speculation or complex inference from a chain of complicated data open to many interpretations. One of the most intriguing claims made repeatedly in these books is that among the mythical predecessors of Jesus as a crucified god were the Buddha, the blue-skinned Krishna, and Dionysus. Is there any basis to these claims, which Murdock just drops like a ton of bricks? Again, she does not explain where they come from much less why no available books on Buddha, Krishna, or Dionysus contains a crucifixion account. When Murdock speaks of the Christ conspiracy, she means it. She really believes that people got together and cooked up early Christianity like a network sitcom." (Dr. Bob Price PhD Systematic Theology) Gerald Massey (29 May 1828 - 29 October 1907) was a Freemason and was with the Most Ancient Order of Druids to which he was elected Chosen Chief, an honorary position that he held from 1880 until 1906. HP Blavatsky sighted Massey in her works. He was also a self educated Egyptologist, was very interested in spiritualism and said to have spoke with disembodied spirits. ".. my own hand impelled to write massages without any volition of mine."

A leading figure in late 19th- and early 20th-century Britain, he was instrumental in the foundation of the Fabian Society and the Labour Party. He was also considered a radical prophet of a new age of fellowship in which social relations would be transformed by a new spiritual consciousness. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Carpenter) (http://www.edwardcarpenter.net/ecbiog.htm) The Fabian Society is a British socialist movement, whose purpose is to advance the principles of democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist, rather than revolutionary, means. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabian_Society) Acharya S., one of the main sources for Zeitgeist, admits that her main sources are Massy and Carpenter, which, Massy and Carpenter are two other main sources for Zeitgeist. There seems to be something in circular going on here. She believes in Astro-theology or Astrolatry. Astrolatry is the worship of stars and other heavenly bodies as deities, or the association of deities with heavenly bodies. The most common instances of this are sun gods and moon gods in polytheistic systems worldwide. Jordan Maxwell is a researcher and independent scholar in the field of occult / religious philosophy.

Although Maxwell has some interesting info on the New World Order, he is also a proponent of Astro-theology.

Also, in the Zeitgeist movie, Peter Joseph makes the claim: "Four historians are typically referenced to justify Jesus' existence. Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, Tacitus are the first three. Each one of their entries consists of only a few sentences at best and only refer to the Christus or the Christ, which in fact is not a name but a title, it means 'Anointed one.' The fourth source is Josephus and this source has been proven a forgery for hundreds of years." The thing is, he gives no details as to why we should discount these sources. Just because he says we should isnt a valid reason. 1. Only four historians - in all actuality, there are more non historical sources that support the existence of Jesus. But, how many ancient historians do we need to make the magic number? Five? Six? If this is the case for the argument then we may have a problem with a lot of the people that existed in ancient history. And then there are the biblical sources that if you arent a Christian, you wont put any value into the Bible as being reliable. Unfortunately for Peter Joseph, there are even external sources other than the ones he mentions that say Jesus existed. (http://www.gotquestions.org/did-Jesus-exist.html) (http://www.leaderu.com/truth/1truth21.html) 2. Only a few sentences - Tacitus stated, "Christus, the founder of the [Christian] name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procrurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius. But the pernicious superstition, repressed for a time, broke out again, not only through Judea, where the mischief originated, but through the city of Rome also." (Annals XV, 44) In this small statement from Tacitus this is what he tells us.. A. B. C. D. E. Jesus did exist. Jesus was the founder of Christianity (so we got the right guy). Jesus was put to death buy Pilot. Christianity originated in Judea with Jesus. Christianity later spread to Rome (Through the Apostles and evangelist and probably other believers of that time).

Could Tacitus have taken his information from Christian sources? "Because of his position as a professional historian and not as a commentator, it is more likely Tacitus referenced government records over Christian testimony. It is also possible Tacitus received some of his information from his friend and fellow secular historian, Pliny the Younger. Yet, even if Tacitus referenced some of Pliny's sources, it would be out of his character to have done so without critical

investigation. (www.thedevineevidence.com) 3. Christus or Christ, which in fact is not a name but a title which means "Anointed one." This may be true but, Josephus confirms it as a title for Jesus and Josephus is not a Christian

4. Josephus has been proven a forgery for hundreds of years. "At this time there was a wise man who was called Jesus, and his conduct was known to be virtuous. And many people from among the Jews and the other nations became his disciples. Pilot condemned him to be crucified and to die. And those who had become his disciples did not abandon their loyalty to him. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion, and that he was alive. Accordingly they believed that he was the Messiah, concerning whom the Prophets have recounted wonders." (Antiquities XVIII, 3:2) [Emphasis mine] The two sections that I made emphasis to, appear in the Greek and Arabic manuscripts, but not in other manuscripts. Even though these few words are in question the meaning of the remaining unquestioned statement still shows that Jesus existed, rose on the third day and was the called the Messiah. Another quote from Josephus that doesnt have any controversy behind it states: "So Ananus assembled a council of judges, and brought before it the brother of Jesus, the so-called Christ, whose name was James, together with some others, and having accused them as lawbreakers, he delivered them over to be stoned." (Antiquities XX 9:1) In this passage Josephus calls Jesus the "so called Christ." Now, I want to be fair, The Zeitgeist Movies are informative on the advancement of the New World Order and I would even recommend watching them with gleaning this information from them. I dont throw the baby out with the bathwater and anybody reading this shouldnt either. But, like the scripture says in 1 John 4:1, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Everybody knows Oprah! Who hasnt heard of Oprah? Who hasnt watched her show at one time or another? Oh, Im sure there may be a few that have never watched her show, but they know who she is. And, if they dont know who she is then they have been living in a cave or in a coma. She has, in the last several years, been promoting a new gospel of Jesus Christ and promoting New Age philosophies. She has had several New Age teachers on her show including Eckart Tolle. Eckart Tolle (Ulrich Leonard - born 1948) is a German-born Canadian resident, best known as the author of The Power of Now and A New Earth, which were written in English. In 2011, he was listed by the Watkins Review as the most spiritually influential person in the world. (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Eckhart_Tolle) Tolles work and books are said to have sparked a revival in the New Age movement. This "revival" is a natural part of the postmodern rejection of truth. Neither facts, logical thinking, nor Biblical faith are important or relevant to the new spirituality. So it's not a big surprise that Eckhart Tolle, who wrote the book A New Earth, dismisses them all as "form" or "ego": distracting "attachments" that block awareness of human Divinity and oneness with "God." Human Divinity? There is that same ol lie again that man is god. "The greatest achievement of humanity is... the recognition of its own dysfunction, its own madness. In the distant past, this recognition already came to a few individuals. A man called Gautama Siddhartha, who lived 2,600 years ago in India, was perhaps the first who saw it with absolute clarity. Later, the title Buddha was conferred upon him. Buddha means 'the awakened one.' (Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, pg. 14) "...movements developed within all major religions that represented not only a rediscovery, but in some cases an intensification of the light of the original teaching. This is how Gnosticism and mysticism came into existence in early and medieval Christianity, Sufism in the Islamic religion, Hasidism and Kabbala in Judaism, Advaita Vedanta in Hinduism, Zen... in Buddhism.... "Only a small minority of people had access to them. Their numbers were never large enough to have any significant impact on the deep collective unconsciousness of the majority."(Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, pg 16,17)

Oprah is a big promoter of Eckhart Tolle. She has had him on her show many times promoting his books and his religious philosophy. In his book A New Earth, the term 'Salvation' is not used in relation to a moral infringement of God's law but rather the liberation from the 'egoic self' and it is not through the death and resurrection of Jesus that this salvation is procured but rather through a shift in perception from unconsciousness to consciousness. In the book Dialogues With Emerging Spiritual Teachers by John W. Parker, Parker has an interview with Tolle on various topics of his beliefs and philosophies. When asked by Parker; You mentioned that after a profound realization had occurred you read spiritual texts and spent time with various teachers. Can you share what writings and teachers had the greatest effect on you in further realizing what had been revealed to you? Tolle replies; Yes. The texts I came in contact withfirst I picked up a copy of the New Testament almost by accident, maybe half a year, a year after it happened, and reading the words of Jesus and feeling the essence and power behind those words. And I immediately understood at a deeper level the meaning of those words. I knew intuitively with absolute certainty that certain statements attributed to Jesus were added later, because they did not "emanate" from that place, that state of consciousness, because I knew that place, I know that place. But when a statement emanates from that place, there is recognition. And when it does not, no matter how clever or intelligent it may sound it lacks that essence and it does not have that power. In other words, it does not emanate from the stillness. So that was an incredible realization, just reading and understanding beyond mind the deeper meaning of those words. [Emphasis mine] He knew intuitively and absolute certainty that certain statements of Jesus were added later? Where did this intuition come from and how did he know with absolute certainty that this intuition was true? I mean, I could have an intuitive feeling about something, but that doesnt make it true. Example; I could have an intuitional feeling about some girl liking me but that really isnt absolute truth that she really likes me. Let me paraphrase what Tolle said if I may. There was something that Jesus said that I didnt like so therefore, since I didnt like it and it didnt set well in my consciousness then Jesus didnt really say it, someone else added it. Sound about right?

Could John 14:6 where Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Could that have been one of the intuitions that didnt set well with Tolle? Or, how about Matthew 7:14 where Jesus states, Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. I could see that as a consciousness problem for Tolle. I know what could also be a real brain burner for him, Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. On Oprahs show with Tolle, Oprah made this statement, we are the universe, we're the source of all life, we're the creator, we're god. On another episode of her show she said that she believed that Jesus came to show us the Christ Consciousness that we all have within us. On another show she claims that Jesus isnt the only path. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo3TKlNaFrc&feature=related) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQFHyd7ijNI) What I have shown you is just a sample of some of the New Age/Anti-Christian/Occult beliefs that are being spewed out through the media today. There is a lot more. Some are within snippets of commercials, within the story lines of TV shows, movies, News broadcasts, radio broadcasts and even so called Christian speakers. As Jesus did say in Matthew 24, that there will be MANY false prophets will arise in the last days. I believe even more so with the medias of TV and Radio and the Internet, we are getting a final outpouring from Satan just before the return of Jesus. I hope you are ready!

Final Thoughts I would just like to express that if you made it this far, than good for you! There is a lot more info available and I hope you take the time to check out the links and YouTube videos that I supplied. Also, the books that I recommended are mostly still available. There are other areas that I didnt go into like natural disasters in weather and earthquakes, but these are areas that you can also look into yourself. I truly believe that we are in the last days just before the return of Jesus and that the Rapture could happen at any moment. We are within the final days that the generation that Jesus said would see His return. I pray that you are ready and that you share the Love of God through Jesus sacrificial blood on the cross with others. So that they also will know that by accepting Jesus, who is God in the flesh, as Savior then God Gives to those that believe a new born-again spirit and places within the true believer the Holy Spirit to be the Comforter of God for all eternity. Please re-read Chapter One again. If you have this as a PDF file, Please share it with other. Or direct others to www.christwatch.com where they can download a copy for themselves. And if you feel so inclined and led by God to do so, you can leave a donation also at Christwatch. Thanks! Vic
