Revelation Comments Chap. 9 (updated April 2, 2004)
Frog
Chapter 9
The fifth angel heralds the second death, the fallen angel
attracted back towards the center of Earth, that is Pluton-
Hades, according to our karmic destiny. The constant theme
of sin and fallen human nature runs through the scriptures
like an unbroken thread cover to cover, as does repentance
from sin, and the consequences thereof. Just as a powerful
volcanic eruption blackens sunlight over many miles on end,
consuming everything in its path, and bringing total devas-
tation upon the land, so too does an incredibly vast swarm
of locusts consume everything in its path not made of iron
or stone. Even in recent times, locust swarms have been re-
ported measuring thousands of square miles, so innumerable
that when deep trenches were dug and fires set, these were
filled and extinguished by the locust bodies dropping from
the blackened sky. A locust can jump two hundred times its
body length, and cover wide spaces, but it can't guide its
own flight, so swarms are carried by the wind like a black
cloud of desolation, released to the ground wherever provi-
dence deems fit. This combined niagara falls-like noise of
the locusts in the air, and those devouring the vegetation
on the ground, is said by witnesses to be almost deafening.
As the Egyptian plagues came not without cause, the plague
of locusts in Revelation 9 is attached to those not having
the seal of the Gods in their foreheads. The locust's life-
span is typically about five months (mar/apr thru jul/aug),
while summer crops are growing for the harvest to store up
for winter. Notably John the Baptist was conceived exactly
five months before his first cousin Jesus (Luke 1:24,36ff),
and both were born exactly five months apart, 1 Nisan 3758
(Sun 17 Mar 3 BC; JD 1720403), and 1 Elul 3758 (Mon 12 Aug
3 BC; JD 1720551), respectively. That John ate locusts and
wild honey (Mat 3:4;Mar 1:6) is an interesting coincidence.
The scorpion is the archetype of Mars superior & courtyard
of Death, the process, sting, pain, and suffering of death,
the wages of sin (Rom 6:23). The "tail-star" on the caeles-
tial serpent Draco, Thuban (13Leo +66), is commonly called
the "coiled one", "whip", or "bruise" on the heel of Orion,
Osiris the universal archetype of Pluto's reign (Gen 3:15),
just as Draco's head-star, Rastaban(17Sco +75), rules over
or guides its tail. Hence the Hebrew's called Orion "lyok"
(Kaeciyl, pron. kes-eel) meaning The Fool, just like tarot.
Orion's caelestial coordinates are charted for epoch J2000:

The three stars of Orion's belt are the heavenly basis for
the most enduring and mysterious man-made monuments on the
planet, Egypt's al-Gizeh Pyramids, "Alnitak" in particular,
the caelestial inspiration for the Great Pyramid, built in
10,490-10,390 BC (see 'Light & Sound' ch. 3, Cayce quotes).
Note, Alnitak marks the caelestial end of life, Taurus, at
opposition to the caelestial end of death, Scorpio, marked
by Shaula (laSco 29Sco47' -13:47'; mag. 1.63), and Grumium
(xiDra 29Sco56' +80:17'; mag. 3.75), approaching the begin-
ning of the tree of life, the galactic center(SgrA* 2Sag03'
-5:36'), and galactic-ecliptic intercept (5Sag00' +0:00'),
also known as Mayan Sacred Tree. At the center of the iris,
the eye of the sky, is Pluto, God of the underworld. Hence
Orion, a.k.a. Nimrod, meaning rebellious and mighty hunter,
signifies the caelestial or universal archetype of evening
(Gk. hesperos), commencing on the caelestial meridian 0Lib,
which is clearly marked by fiducial stars Arcturus & Spica.
Next look at Hercules, whose "foot" is stepping on Draco's
head. This crude illustration below highlights these stars.
Recall that the North Caelestial Pole is the "belly of the
beast" very near the Cat's Eye nebula (NGC6543 18Lib08'09"
+89:50'33"; 8.30 J2000), "bottom" of the caelestial zodiac:

Hercules is the son of Jupiter & Alcmene while Orion's the
son of Jupiter's elder brother Neptune & Euryale, thus Her-
cules & Orion are first cousins. The famous Herculean myth
is among the most powerful known to man. By completing the
twelve labors successfully, his great strength and courage
would become synonymous with his name. With twelve synodic
years of obedient service and twelve labors under his belt,
Hercules became an Olympian god and placed among the stars.
Only his immortality had saved him from the serpent's bite.
Unlike Hercules, the myth holds that Orion died on account
of the Scorpion's deadly sting. While the scorpion's sting
in Palestine is seldom deadly, though is extremely painful,
the scorpions of North Africa often exceed six inches long,
and their sting is usually a death sentence--a painful one.
Notably Artemis, the Moon, sent the scorpion to kill Orion,
but because of near-opposition between the caelestial Scor-
pion and Orion, just as Scorpius rises Orion begins to set.
It is especially notable that the "sting-star" of Scorpius
is almost perfectly conjunct the dragon's beguiling "mouth-
star" Grumium, and both are at caelestial opposition to Al-
nitak the Great Pyramid star, as the following chart shows:
Alnitak 29Tau53'36" -25:17'38" zeOri 1.74
/Lesath 29Sco12'46" -14:00'29" upSco 2.69
\Shaula 29Sco47'09" -13:47'17" laSco 1.63
\Grumium 29Sco55'41" +80:16'51" xiDra 3.75
That the Adamic fall from grace, resulting in hardship and
death, is the explicit result of the bite of the beguiling
serpent, Adam being led into temptation,--the big no-no in
the Lord's Prayer,--is at heavenly opposition to the Great
Pyramid with its empty sarcophagus, which Cayce says signi-
fies "there will be no more death", further down in 5748-6,
this opposition could not be more conspicuous or revealing:
"(Q) What was the date of the actual beginning and
ending of the construction of the Great Pyramid?
(A) Was one hundred years in construction. Begun
and completed in the period of Araaraart's time,
with Hermes and Ra.
(Q) What was the date B.C. of that period?
(A) 10,490 to 10,390 before the Prince entered in-
to Egypt.
(Q) What definite details are indicated as to what
will happen after we enter the period of the King's
Chamber?
(A) When the bridegroom is at hand, all do rejoice.
When we enter that understanding of being in the
King's presence, with that of the mental seeking,
the joy, the buoyancy, the new understanding, the
new life, through the period.
(Q) What is the significance of the empty
sarcophagus?
(A) That there will be no more death. Don't mis-
understand or misinterpret! but the INTERPRETATION
of death will be made plain.
(Q) If the Armageddon is foretold in the Great
Pyramid, please give a description of it and the
date of its beginning and ending.
(A) Not in what is left there. It will be as a
thousand years, with the fighting in the air, and
- as has been - between those returning to and
those leaving the earth." [5748-006#7-11]
Hence the end of life, Taurus, mans passion for life, oppo-
ses the end of death, Scorpio, soul's new incarnation into
a new human body on Earth: archetypally entering the Wheel
of Fortune Sagittarius, and in the temporal sense (that of
the minor arcana), entering the courtyard of the Knight of
Wands, the inherent karma of the body from our lives as an-
cestors. Remember, the universal archetypes develop in the
heavens, and manifest in the world through physical living.
At opposition, at the end of life, soul is entering Gemini
the archetypal Magician, chief communicator among the Gods.
And, out of the white oblivion, soul regathers its needful
journey, its heavenly lesson therein. Meanwhile its former
physical body is reclaimed by the Earth at the end of life
upon entering the court of the Knight of Swords. And Earth
remembers for that soul's future incarnations, to continue
its Earthly sojourn and development, and the cycle goes on.
The scorpions of Palestine whose sting causes unimaginably
excruciating pain is seldom deadly, but its hapless victim
surely wishes for death. The innumerable locusts devouring
all in sight, to inflict terrible pain on men whose chakra
in the brow is insecure--vulnerable to the torment imposed
by the serpent's deceptive bite--meaning to put self above
others, to put self-will above God's will, the fall of man.
So the pain of being born into mortal life, the pain of li-
ving, the pain of dying until the moment of clinical death
brings deliverance from physical pain and suffering--pains
of every kind that a mortal man can suffer, emotional, and
physical, mental, spiritual, every curse on the fallen man,
- -these are the plagues and agonies, the wages of human sin.
That's what the fifth trumpet is heralding, the ire of God.
John's description of these locusts also reminds us of the
Apache, Comanche, and other military helicopters, which do
indeed sound like "chariots of horses charging into battle"
etc., and their fierce looks arouse the ancient archetypes
of locust swarms with the wholesale destruction they bring.
Maybe man developed the helicopter in honor of the locusts,
since the locust is a formidable, and indomitable creature.
Since man's the only species on Earth capable of rebellion
against God's will, the charging horses as used in warfare
since time immemorial evokes our unique ability to destroy
the world against God's will--i.e. if God didn't intervene.
With today's nuclear arsenals easily capable of destroying
the entire planet a thousand times over, only God can save
man from his self-imposed terrene extinction (look at Mars
as a stark reminder of what mans unbridled madness can do).
"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my
holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land trem-
ble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh
at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of
clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread up-
on the mountains: a great people and a strong; there
hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more
after it, [even] to the years of many generations. A
fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame
burneth: the land [is] as the garden of Eden before
them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and
nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them [is]
as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall
they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of
mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of
fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set
in battle array. Before their face the people shall be
much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They
shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall
like men of war; and they shall march every one on his
ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither
shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in
his path: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they
shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the
city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb
up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows
like a thief. The earth shall quake before them; the
heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be
dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And
the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for
his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that exe-
cuteth his word: for the day of the LORD [is] great
and very terrible; and who can abide it?"-Joel 2:1-11
The angel of the abyss is named Abaddon, and Apollyon, who
Jerome adds is also called Exterminans in Latin, literally,
"The Exterminator". While his victims are the Exterminated,
those who are banished, "cast out" beyond the pearly gates.
Thus Apollyon is verily the Destroyer, i.e. the third part
for evildoers which can only be man who rebels against God.
Otherwise, if not by man, then by Providence, the elements
of change, his augmented fifth resolving to the 6th or 5th:
"The locusts have no king, yet go they forth
all of them by bands"--Proverbs 30:27 AV
The above verse accentuates the exclusive ability of human-
kind to rebel against God's will. All life-forms exhibit a
collective gestalt of intelligence that exceeds the sum of
organisms belonging to its species and forming a community,
& how that community interacts with those of other species.
But only in the case of the fallen man does his individual
and collective will have the potential of conflicting with
the will of God, and only to the extent that the universal
law accommodates--before the pendulum of grace swings back
with a vengeance! Karmic liabilities incurred by evildoers
mark that man for future retribution, if not in this world,
then on other generations of that soul's incarnating. This
principle extends to the collective will of community, and
the gestalt of collective karma far exceeds the sum of its
individual members, i.e. where willful agreement is shared,
each to his degree of collusion, participation and benefit.
The altar before the eyes of God is the cross of matter on
which Christ was crucified. Its horns, the four directions,
four winds, four elements, the Earth's quadrangle centered
on the eye of the Sky, the eye of the Iris. While animal &
human sacrifices have been offered on altars of rock, wood,
metal, etc since the fall of Adam, and certainly since the
days of Noah c. 30,000 BC, the exegesis of burnt offerings
and animal sacrifice is left to anthropology & archaeology.
By the time Moses was authoring the Torah c. 1800 BC, this
ancient religious practice had become rather sophisticated,
no doubt owing to Moses' royal education by temple priests.
Thereby rabbi Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee, whose Roman prae-
nomen was Paulus, better known as the Apostle Paul, is the
best authority on the law & prophets as relates to Xianity,
particularly the levitical priesthood and temple sacrifice:
"We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat
which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those
beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by
the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the peo-
ple with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,
bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing
city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let
us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his
name. But to do good and to communicate forget not:
for with such sacrifices God is well pleased"
--Hebrews 13:10-16 AV
Singing praises to our heavenly father, helping others and
communicating, participating, contributing, benefiting etc.
are activities which bring great joy and exaltation to the
doer of the word. What greater reward can any man hope for?
One of Nostradamus' favorite paraphrases of the Vulgate is:
"cobien que, Abscondisti haec a sapientibus, et pruden-
tibus, id est, potentibus et regibus, et enucleastiea
exiguis et tenuibus" --excerpt from 'Preface to Cesar'
Which translates:
"as much which, Absconded these from the sapient, and
the prudent, that is, the potentates and the kings,
and have made clear to the exiguous and the tenuous"
--from Nosty's Preface - Min's Interlinear Translation
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=HFLYJA8S3776...@Gilgamesh-frog.org
In the Jovian spirit, exaltation is granted those who give,
even for those who have so little to give, joy is abundant
where the ego-self yields to an-other-self, meaning others:
"At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee,
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast
hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it
seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered un-
to me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but
the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save
the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye
shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light."--Matthew 11:25-30 AV
__________________________________________________________
Before continuing on to chapter 10, there's one noteworthy
term which is often misunderstood, and that's is the Greek
word "pharmakeia", pharmaceuticals, or poisons of whatever
variety, genre, metaphor, idiom etc., basically everything
and anything which serves to distract one from the Godhead,
be it drug abuse, sexual depravity or anything unwholesome.
Like the Aramaic word "Pva", ashshaph, meaning sorcerer or
conjurer, enchanter or necromancer, diviner or chiromancer,
etc. Such epithets are commonly applied to astrologers and
shaman, anybody doing fortunetelling not divinely-inspired.
This long-standing confusion arose from consistent failure
to differentiate between honorable or dishonorable purpose,
ones motivation for consulting the angels, stars of heaven,
else evoking demons & fallen angels from the hellish abyss.
God knows whose motives are pure of heart and whose aren't.
Don't fear the occult, but fear God who searches the heart.
Motive, Means & Opportunity are the best things to examine
before deciding what's genuinely honorable and what is not.
