Speaking as an interested onlooker, and a non-Mason (being an atheist
precludes membership), I very much doubt it, if only because the
accusations made hereabouts are so shrill, absurd, and lunatic fringe
in nature as to require no reply.
There are legitimate concerns that might be expressed about Masonry,
both theological and temporal - but the apocalyptic "black helicopter
piloted by Satan himself" tone of what we've seen so far suggests that
the authors first priority should be seeking psychiatric assistance
rather than attempting to lead a new crusade.

Absolutely, "Norwood".
The foolishness to which you refer is based on a lie that a letter from
Pike went to the Italian revolutionary, Mazzini. It is claimed to be in
the British Museum but, of course, no such thing was ever held by them.
It was a lie.
(Oh, should we mention that it was supposedly transmitted by some sort
of 'secret' communications wave that didn't involve the mail - in the
1870s!)
So what other kind of "honest discussion" would you like?

World Wars have been planned for many generations.
"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the
Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making
that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused
by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and
Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the
war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other
governments and in order to weaken the religions." 2
"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the
differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war
must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the
political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of
Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International
Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom,
which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when
we would need it for the final social cataclysm." 3
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the
differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the
political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be
conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and
political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.
Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be
constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral,
spiritual and economical exhaustion匴e shall unleash the Nihilists and
the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which
in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of
absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against
the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those
destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with
Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without
compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where
to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the
universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought
finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from
the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of
Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same
time." 4

It is based on a non-existent letter. The site referenced on another

The leaders of the lodges are members of any number of more secretive

to use thier positions publicy to gain power, and effectivly control
the (local) population.
(ie: positions of power in local govt.)
this system of control goes all the way up, above Bush, yes he is an
Idiot, but the standards of these societys have gotten lax, as their
power becomes more obvious, they feel unstoppable.
Lodges are recruitment centers for the more secret groups. If a

From the website that you suggested earlier, regarding this fantasy:
"To date, no conclusive proof exists to show that this letter was ever
written."
That equates to there being no evidence of that letter existing, let
alone being displayed, or catalogued, in a museum. But you know that.
How about providing some verifiable proof that the letter did exist?
Other than hearsay, that is. We could have an honest discussion about
that, perhaps. But to my mind, you are merely foisting fear and
prejudice, so I won't be to optimistic about the discussion.
Oh, you never answered my question about the 'protocols of Zion'. That
website also promotes that hoax. Do you also subscribe to that belief also?

It may just be me, but as an amateur student of history, I was under
the impression that the first two world wars were pre 1958, when the
first reference to the letter appears, and at the moment a third world
war seems unlikely seeing as there's only one superpower around, at
the moment.

Top posters, arrgh!
Not really. Get out your history book. W.W.I was over. Calling a W.W.II
in 1925 probably wasn't too much of a long shot, given the goings on at
the time. And .W.W.III isn't going on, but might, who knows?
You can connect the dots anyway you want, but your prejudice causes
you to see things that aren't there, and never were. The letter never
existed and now kooks refer to what it 'apparently' contains. Maybe it
also apparently predicts who will win the world series this year?

You certainly like to twist things. They talk of no conclusive proof
but they do present evidence (which you ignore. i.e. "seems strange
that a man of Cardinal Rodriguez's knowledge should have said that it
WAS [existent] in 1925"), whilst you say, "they acknowledge the
non-existence of a letter" which is not true. You then make an
implication that I may be a hateful bigot based upon your own curious
logic. Thank you for answering my question "Is an honest discussion

Jeezuz H. CHRIST! Is your brain REALLY that badly broken, that you can't

Since the letter never really did exist, the fable of its existence
could have been, and in fact, WAS drafted well AFTER the events that the
letter supposedly predicted.
Did I go to fast for you? Just read it again. We'll wait...

That's weak, seriously weak. You allege a thing exists, and submit as
proof, "the complete lack of evidence that such a thing exists".

Yet you failed to do any number of things prior to your "honest" ps0ast. Your first mistake was failing to investigate the source, which is a privately owned k0oKsite that cites at best, opinion, and at worst, libel. Your second mistake was failing to actually find a source that was based on scholarly research using academically accepted texts. Your third mistake is in failing to recognize that if such a centuries old kkk0nspiracy exists, then ps0asting about them is of absolutely no consequence what so ever. Finally, did you obtain written consent from the owner of the material to repost it here so as not to violate the DMCA? You guys commit theft everytime you ps0ast boilerplate without such permission.

Here is the Tract, I also attached the PDF file for easy printing,
after printing it must be folded.
Albert Pike claimes that Lucifer is the "Light" of the Masonic Lodge.
THE "POINT WITHIN THE CIRCLE"
What does it mean? Albert Mackay, 33rd degree explains its deeper
meaning:
"Thepoint within the circle is an ...important symbol in Free-masonry,
but it has been debased in (lie lectures (given in lodges) that the
sooner that the interpretation is forgotten by the Masonic student,
the better will it be. The symbol is really a beautiful but somewhat
abstruse allusion to the OLD SUN-WORSHIP, and introduces us for the
first time to the modification of it, known among the ANCIENTS AS THE
WORSHIP Of THE PHALLUS. (Albert Mackey, The Manual of the Lodge, Clark
Maynard Co., New York, 1870, p. 156)
Webster's Dictionary defines "Phallus" - "A representation or image of
the penis as the reproductive organ, worshipped as a symbol of
generative power, as in the Dionysiac festivals of ancient Greece.
Can you now be so proud of the Washington Monument?
OSIRIS AND ISIS The initiation rites and rituals of the Masonic Lodge
come from the
ancient Egyptian pagan gods Osiris and Isis. Osiris and Isis is a
Romeo and Juliet type legend in which Osiris is cut into pieces and
his lover Isis searches and finds all of his pieces except his genital
organ. Without this part, she could not restore him to life. The story
is symbolized in the "Hiramic Legend."
Albert Pike makes mention of Osiris and Isis on p.401 (Morals and
Dogmas) on page 22 he writes: "Masonry, successor of the Mysteries,
STILL FOLLOWS the ancient manner of teaching. Her ceremonies are like
the ANCIENT MYSTIC SHOWS."
Then Albert Mackey writes: "...the secret worship of the pagan gods.
Each of the pagan gods had besides the public and open, A SECRET
WORSHIP paid to him, to which none were admitted but those who had
been selected by PREPARATORY CEREMONIES CALLED INITIATION." (Albert
Mackey, Mackey's Revised Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, p.497) The very
initiation into the Masonic lodge touches the ceremonies of ancient
pagan worship. The Temple, a High Priest, the worship of the Sun-God
"On" with a capital "G", the point within the circle, the white apron.
The Bible never calls God "the Great Architect of the Universe", or
Jah-Bul-On, He is the CREATOR, and His name is JESUS Christ!
Albert Pike writes: "The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or
portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are
displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally mislead by
false interpretations. It is NOT INTENDED that he shall understand
them, but it is intended that he shall IMAGINE he understands them."
(Pike, p 819)
1 Corinthians 10:21 "You cannot partake of
the Lord's table and the table of demons "
FREEMASONRY IS A SATAJVIC CULT!
REPENT AND GET OUT NOW! If you claim to be Christian, What in the
world are you doing in the Masonic Lodge? Have you really researched
to find out what you are involved with?
"For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink IN MY NAME, because you
belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose
his reward." (Mark 9:41) Don't let Freemasonry receive the glory for
your good deeds! In heaven, there are no rewards for your good deeds
done in the name of Freemasonry. JESUS gets ALL the GLORY! Period

Who is your "Worshipful Master?"
Jesus said 'Wo one can
serve two Masters; for he Will hate
the one and love the other.. (Matt.
6:24) and in Matt. 28:10 Jesus said
"Neither be ye called Masters; for
ONE is your Master, even Christ. "
THE ONLY MASTER IS JESUS
CHRIST AND NO ONE ELSE
IS TO BE WORSHIPPED!
(Rev. 19:10)
In Matt. 5:33-37 Jesus says NOT to make Oaths. Yet the Master Mason
makes a solemn oath on the Bible to "Acknowledge and obey all due
signs and summons sent to me from a Master Masons' Lodge... all this I
most solemnly and sincerely swear... So help me God" You have SINNED
by making this oath, AND you also broke the 1st Commandment!
THE OATH
The initiate can break up to 4 Commandments of God simply by taking
the oath to become a Mason. In addition, you have placed a curse upon
your home and family.
"...binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my throat
cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the
rough sands of the seas... So help me God.. "
1st Commandment "Thou shalt have no other God's before Me." The God of
Freemasonry is NOT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.
Breaking the 2nd Command-ment, the Square and Compass are reverenced
as "Idols" on the alter.
3rd Commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in Vain" If
you say the oath is not taken seriously, you have used God's name in
vain, even kissing the Bible.
6th Commandment "Thou shalt not Kill" This includes your own body.
Suicide is murder.
WHAT IS GOD'S NAME?
The Royal Arch candidate is given the "Lost name of God" and it is
"JAH-BUL-ON." Then the High Priest of the Royal Arch says this is "the
divine Logos, or "Word" referred to in John 1:1-5." If you are a
Christian, you know John 1:1-5 "The Word" is Jesus Christ, the Author
of Life, NOT the Blasphemous name JAH-BUL-ON.
JAH- representing the name
JAHOVAH
BUL- representing the name BAAL or BEL, an Old Testament Demon god. (1
Kings 16:29-33)
ON- represents the name of the Egyptian Sun god idol. (Gen. 41:45, 50)
Henry Wilson Coil in Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia (95:516) and the
Masonic Ritual and Monitor (58:226) admit that "Bul" or "Bel" refers
to the Assyrian or Canaanite deity BAAL and that "ON" refers to the
Egyptian deity OSIRIS.
The Scottish Rite (17th degree) declares that God's name is "Abaddon".
Abaddon means "destroyer" and is referred to in Rev. 9:11. It is a
Demon!
IS LUCIFER THE GOD OF THE
MASONIC LODGE? Albert Pike, the highest Mason in his day, in "Morals
and Dogma" Pg. 321, calls Lucifer "the Light-bearer." Pike is quoted
as giving this instruction to a council of very high level Freemasons:
"The MASONIC RELIGION should be, by all of us of the high
degree, maintained in the purity of the LUCIFERIAN doctrine. If
Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (sic) whose deeds prove his
cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for
science, would Adonay and his priests calumniate him?
Yes, LUCIFER IS GOD, and unfortunately Adonay is also god...
Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure
philosophical religion is the BELIEF IN LUCIFER. THE EQUAL OF ADONAY
but Lucifer, God of Light and God of GOOD, is struggling for humanity
against Adonay, the GOD OF DARKNESS AND EVIL. " (de Larive, A.C., La
Femme et I'enfant dans la Franc, Maconnerei Universelle, Paris, 1889,
p. 588)
Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put
darkness for light, and light for darkness. " Masonic scholar, Manly P
Hall writes: j
"When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the
proper application of the dynamo of the living power, he has LEARNED
THE MYSTERY OF HIS CRAFT. The seething ' ENERGIES OF LUCIFER ARE IN
HIS HANDS and before he may step ! onward and upward, he must prove
his ability to properly apply this energy. ("The Lost Keys to
Freemasonry", p.48)
Each degree is teaching Luciferian Doctrine. Who is really behind this
"Religion" of Freemasonry as Albert Pike
so correctly states it? Yes, the very author of evil
himself...Lucifer.
Read Matt. 23:25-29. Verse 28 says "you also outwardly appear
rishteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and
lawlessness."
Have you ever researched the Bible to learn about Hiram, the Masonic
"Christ Figure?' He is the King of Tyre (2 Chron 2:3,11) and in
Ezekiel 28:12-19 we find that he is non other than Lucifer himself.
Masonic rituals glorify Lucifer by his code name "Hiram!"
Let me ask you, CAN YOU PREACH JESUS AT YOUR MEETINGS? Can you openly
preach the gospel to your perishing Muslim or Hindu "brother"? (2 Cor.
6:14-16)
WHO IS THE LIGHT? A candidate is blindfolded, a rope is put around his
neck and led to the door of the lodge he knocks. A voice responds:
"Who comes here?" The guide responds: Mr. __, who has long been in
darkness, and now seeks to be brought to light..
If the candidate is a Christian, he has just insulted Jesus who said
in John 8:12 "I AM THE LIGHT of the world He who follows ME shall NOT
walk in DARKNESS, but have the LIGHT OF LIFE"

Humans are clubbish animals going back to the time when they needed to hunt in
packs for food, following thier leader.
Freemasonry is just another club, like all religion and politics
My dad was one, and all his pals in our small town were too, many were business
men and local politicians. nothing scary, just a group of like minded people

Albert Pike talked of three world wars and he described them in detail. And
those wars have happened / are happening as that Freemason described. This
is proof that this brotherhood is totally evil, should be ended and its
membership jailed for life. Is it possible someone would want to speak in
their favour?
-----
Why, yes. I've already answered this elsewhere for you:
This has been addressed on ALT.FREEMASONRY several times
(http://tinyurl.com/59n3g).
The so-called "Mazzini Letter" is first mentioned by Cardinal Caro y
Rodriguez of Santiago, Chile, in his book, The Mystery of Freemasonry
Unveiled. I have not seen a legitimate citation for the original source
document, meaning that I can only guess at the provenance of the material
which apparently first shows up in a decidedly antiMasonic work published by
a Catholic priest. You remember the old commercial: "Where's the Beef?"
Same here: either produce the letter, or admit it doesn't exist.
Let's do the math together, shall we?
No original document + first apperance is in an anti-Masonic book = "It's
bogus, Jim!"

THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY
SATANIC BLOODLINE OF THE ANTICHRIST & FALSE PROPHET
Introduction
The Cult of the Black Virgin
Identity of the False Christ
The Sacred Marriage
The Bloodline From Hell
William Cooper & The Three Bears
The False Prophet
Michael the Counterfeit Archangel
The Roman Dragon
INTRODUCTION
The following pages are selected portions from another report on this
website, an expose of The False Gospel in the Stars which is preparing
the way for the Antichrist and False Prophet. Varied projections
concerning the identities of these personages are often calculated to
deceive, and Scripture has been corrupted and misinterpreted to
support this deception. Moreover, there is precious little information
coming forth in the way of exposes of the Merovingian dynasty as the
Satanic bloodline from which the Antichrist and False Prophet will
come. Whatever lipservice has been paid to this subject is usually
accompanied by enough misinformation to keep the masses of Christians
satisfied with half truths and ignorant of the full story.
The Bible presents specific evidence concerning the identities of the
Antichrist and False Prophet, the Mark of the Beast, Mystery Babylon
the Great and other facts that will be imperative for God's people to
know during the Tribulation Period. For instance, Revelation 13
identifies the Antichrist as “the beast that rises out of the sea.”
The Merovingian dynasty claims to have been sired by a mysterious ‘sea
beast’—the Bistea Neptunis—which was Neptune, the pagan god of the sea
who founded Atlantis, the pre-flood civilization which God judged in
Genesis 7. The high cabal of the Merovingians is the Prieuré de Sion
which directs all other secret societies worldwide. Yet the Grand
Master of the Prieuré de Sion remains largely unknown, except to those
in the occult underground. This most powerful individual on earth is
well-hidden from the profane masses until the time appointed when, as
the Scripture foretells, “that man of sin shall be revealed.” (II
Thess. 2:3)
We believe that New Agers already know the identity of the False
Christ, the False Prophet and various other Tribulation counterfeits
through their study of astrology, as interpreted by a large body of
occult tradition and the current propaganda proliferating through New
Age publications. There is no reason that Christians, given the same
information available to New Agers, and aided by a right understanding
of Bible prophecy, cannot discern and rightly interpret this end-time
enigma. The alternative is to be at the mercy of a massive
disinformation campaign that is being conducted within the Christian
community by the same New Age network which is planning the
destruction of Christianity.
THE CULT OF THE BLACK VIRGIN
In the early centuries of the Christian era, the ancient worship of
the Mother Goddess was introduced to Christianity by the Alexandrian
Gnostics. H.P. Blavatsky wrote in Isis Unveiled: "...Cyril, the
Bishop of Alexandria, had openly embraced the cause of Isis, the
Egyptian goddess, and had anthropomorphized her into Mary, the mother
of God..." 195:41 (Vol. II) The Greek adaptation of Virgo, the Mother
Goddess, was Demeter, whose daughter Kore was abducted by Pluto, the
god of the underworld. Kore who would remain the dark lord's queen and
her name would no longer be Kore, the maiden, but Persephone, - "she
who is to be feared". The Alexandrian Gnostics worshipped Kore, and
justified their pagan goddess worship by giving her the trappings of
Christianity:
"Another important feature of the Gnostic tradition of Epiphany is
that it is really a feminine holiday. St. Clement of Alexandria (c.
194) mentioned that the followers of the Gnostic master Basilides
feasted on the day of the Baptism and kept a long vigil before it.
Epiphanius (305-402) gave us a detailed description of how the
Alexandrian Gnostics celebrated the Epiphany. They did this in the
sanctuary of the Maiden Goddess Kore whom they equated with the image
of the Holy Virgin. At midnight they descended with torches into the
crypt of the temple and brought the wooden statue of Kore forth in
procession. The Maiden was represented naked and sitting, with crosses
marked on her brow, her hands and her knees. The statue was carried
seven times around the central shrine and was then retired to the
crypt once more. The Gnostics said that on this day, Kore, the Virgin,
gave birth to the divine principle known as the Christ. It is from the
feminine intuitive consciousness and feeling nature that the messianic
power, of individuated consciousness is born. Thus the human nature of
Jesus or Everyman is transformed into divine and spiritual nature by
the holy female power, the Holy Spirit, in the initiation rite of
baptism." - 834
It was in the thoroughly Gnostic culture of Alexandria that the Mother
Goddess evolved into Mary Magdalene. Ean Begg wrote in The Cult of the
Black Virgin that "...many of the finest Gnostic writings are of
Alexandrian inspiration or origin. Alexandria is also the main source
of Gnostic works linking Jesus with Mary Magdalene. According to this
tradition it was through the Magdalen, rather than through Peter and
the male apostles, that Jesus transmitted his secret doctrine."
(272:128) The Gnostics misrepresent Mary Magdalene as a native of the
Magdolum in Egypt which they associate with Migdol:
"There is no necessity to endeavor to crowbar [Mary Magdalene] into a
Galilean setting, for there are other intriguing alternatives for her
place of origin: although there was no ‘Magdala’ in Judea in her day,
there was a Magdolum in Egypt - just across the border - which was
probably the Migdol mentioned in Ezekiel. There was a large and
flourishing Jewish community in Egypt at that time, which was
particularly centered on the great sea port of Alexandria, a seething
cosmopolitan melting pot of many races, nationalities and religions
and perhaps where the Holy Family had fled to escape the depredations
of Herod’s men." - 843
There is no mention of Migdol in the book of Ezekiel, however the
prophet Jeremiah reproved the apostate Jews who took up residence in
Migdol, Egypt against the word of the Lord who had commanded them to
go to Babylon. Specifically, their worship of the Mother Goddess is
addressed:
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in
the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at
Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have
brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold,
this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein, Because
of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger,
in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they
knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers...
Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto
other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even
all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered
Jeremiah, saying, As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the
name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly
do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense
unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as
we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the
cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we
plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left
off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink
offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed
by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the
queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make
her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her,
without our men? - Jer. 44:1-3,15-19
Here it is apparent that the worship of Virgo, under the appellation
of Isis, spread from Egypt into Israel. From the Holy Land, worship of
the Mother Goddess extended to the centers of the Roman Empire:
"The cult of Isis was widespread in the Egypt of the dynastic period.
From Egypt it spread northwards to Phoenicia, Syria and Palestine; to
Asia Minor; to Cyprus, Rhodes, Crete, Samos and other islands in the
Aegean; to many parts of mainland Greece - Corinth, Argos and Thessaly
amongst them; to Malta and Sicily; and, finally, to Rome. In the first
century BC, Isis was perhaps the most popular goddess in the Eternal
City, from which her cult spread to the furthest limits of the Roman
Empire, including Britain: her only rival was Mithras. - (920)
Thus, the worship of Virgo in the Roman Catholic Church can be traced
to the worship of Isis in Egypt.
"Immaculate is our Lady Isis...the very terms applied afterwards to
that personage (the Virgin Mary) who succeeded to her form, titles,
symbols, rites, and ceremonies... Thus, her devotees carried into the
new priesthood the former badges of their profession, the obligation
to celibacy, the tonsure, and the surplice, omitting, unfortunately,
the frequent ablutions prescribed by the ancient creed. The 'Black
Virgins', so highly reverenced in certain French cathedrals...proved,
when at last critically examined, basalt figures of Isis!'" - 921
Even the trappings of monasticism that found a home in Roman
Catholicism originated in the asceticism that was prevalent in Egypt,
dating back to Hermes Trismegestis (Ham) who was the prototype of the
'hermit' monk. The Council of Nicea in 321 A.D., at which St.
Athanasius (296-373 AD), the Bishop of Alexandria, valiantly opposed
the Arian heresy, also established in its canons the requirement of
celibacy for Christian leaders. (548) Following his victory over the
Arians, Athanasius traveled throughout Europe promoting monasticism
and asceticism; he is credited with introducing monasticism in
particular to the Romans and Germans. In the Gnostic theology of
Athanasius, only ascetics were considered the Bride of Christ. The
evil fruit of asceticism, enforced celibacy and monastic life can be
seen in the rampant sexual perversion within the Catholic priesthood
and hierarchy.
It was through the establishment of monasteries that the Merovingians
infiltrated the Roman Catholic Church. And it is from the worldwide
monastic movement that the False Prophet, also a Merovingian, will
rise to prominence and power as the Antichrist's right hand man. This
Merovingian monk is exposed in the section of this report dealing with
the sign of Cancer.
In 431 A.D., the Third Ecumenical Council was held at Ephesus in
Greece, whose philosophy and culture were based in the occult
traditions of Atlantis. The Council of Ephesus condemned the Nestorian
heresy and approved the veneration of the Virgin Mary as Theotokos
(God-Bearer or Mother of God). Nestorius and the Nestorians were
exiled to the Persian Empire and become the Assyrian Orthodox Church
of the East. However, what appears to have been a classic dialectical
operation would prepare the way for Mary to be transformed from the
'Mother of God' to a deity in the image of Isis, who shared in the
divinity of her son, Horus. In an article on Mariology, Keri Mills
presents an insightful analysis of the great Nestorian controversy:
"Catholics claim that no serious question was raised about Mary's
sinlessness after the Council of Ephesus in AD 431 which declared Mary
to be 'God bearer, Mother of God'. What is not explained is the reason
why no questions (according to the RCC) were raised after the council.
It is clearly documented that Nestorius, bishop of Constantinople, was
declared a heretic and exiled because he rejected the popular title
given to Mary (Mother of God). The church would claim that Nestorius
made it appear, in his emphasis on the reality of the humanity of
Jesus, that Christ was two persons or 'two sons' the son of Mary and
the son of God. Interestingly, the writings of Ignatius, a disciple of
the apostle John and bishop of Antioch, declared a similar thought,
'Mary is presented as Mother of Christ according to his human nature,
as the heavenly Father is his Father according to his divine nature
(To the Ephesians)', with the same purpose to refute heretical
thinking, and yet he is not declared a heretic. Nestorius was declared
a heretic based on power politics and his denial of Mary as
God-bearer, not on Christology. Nestorius was refuting heretical ideas
that Christ was not flesh, only deity. In his autobiography, he
insisted that he did not oppose the title 'God-bearer' because he
denied the Godhead of Christ, but rather to distinguish that Jesus was
a genuine human being born with a body and soul. He insisted that
calling Mary 'God-bearer, Mother of God' was to declare that God could
be born of a woman. Parents pre-exist their children, yet Mary a
mortal woman could not pre-exist God; in fact the paradox remains
clear to this day that Jesus the son of Mary pre-existed Mary. Yet
with the reign of Constantine, the church had gained power, and so no
serious questions would be raised outwardly, without the backing of
the majority, once that power had been exercised on Nestorius." - 849
ALEXANDRIA
"During the first century A.D., Alexandria was a veritable hotbed of
mystical activity, a crucible in which Judaic, Mithraic, Zoroastrian,
Pythagorean, Hermetic, and neo-Platonic doctrines suffused the air and
combined with innumerable others." (31:123) "The Neo-Platonists," in
the words of Robert Temple, author of The Sirius Mystery, "are Greek
philosophers who lived long enough after Plato to have lost the name
of Platonists as far as modern scholars are concerned (although they
were intellectual disciples of Plato and considered themselves
Platonists)." (942:72)
In this thoroughly pagan milieu, an Egyptian Seraphic priest and magus
by the name of Ormesius founded the Society of Ormus. The members of
this society included the Therapeutae of Alexandria and the Essenes of
Qumran—apostate Jewish sects that embraced the secret doctrine of the
lost continent of Atlantis, which was the source of all ancient occult
beliefs. Gnostics allege that Ormesius was a convert of St. Mark,
however, such conversions are a common modus operandi of infiltrators
with hidden agendas. As a false convert, Ormesius would synthesize
Christianity with the paganism of Alexandria, according to Antiquities
of the Illuminati, which presents source material documenting the
history of the Rose Croix:
"According to Baron de Westerode, the founder of the Rosicrucians was
one Ormesius, who had been converted by St. Mark, at Alexandria, in
A.D. 46. He purified the Egyptian Rites, and reconciled them with
Christianity, carrying his disciples with him, and founded the Society
of ORMUS, or of the Light, each member wearing a red cross. To this
society the Essenes and Therapeutae joined themselves, and conserved
the Masonic Secrets." - 636 (Part 3)
The Society of Ormus would relocate to Italy, whence, in 1070 A.D.,
its monks would remove to territory in France owned by Godfroi de
Bouillon, the first Grand Master of the Knights Templar. The monks
were given a tract of land in Orval owned by St. Bernard of Clairvaux,
founder of the Cistercian Order of monks and author of the Rule of the
Templars. According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, the Society of Ormus
became the Prieuré de Sion.
"The 'Prieuré documents' imply that...an abbey existed by 1100 and
housed an order of the...name [Ordre de Sion] which may have been
formed earlier... It is known that in 1070, twenty-nine years before
the First Crusade, a specific band of monks from Calabria in southern
Italy arrived in the vicinity of the Ardennes Forrest, part of Godfroi
de Bouillon's domains. According to Gérard de Sède this band of monks
was led by an individual called Ursus—a name the 'Prieuré documents'
consistently associate with the Merovingian bloodline... [A]t Orval,
not far from Stenay, where Dagobert II had been assassinated some five
hundred years earlier...an abbey was established to house the monks...
By 1108 they had mysteriously disappeared... Orval, by 1131, had
become one of the fiefs owned by Saint Bernard...
"In 1188 the Ordre de Sion is...said to have modified its name,
adopting the one which has allegedly obtained to the present—the
Prieuré de Sion. As a kind of subtitle it is said to have adopted the
curious name 'Ormus.' This subtitle was supposedly used until 1306—a
year before the arrest of the French Templars. The device for
'Ormus'...involves a kind of acrostic or anagram which combines a
number of key words and symbols. Ours means 'bear' in French—Ursus in
Latin, an echo, as subsequently became apparent, of Dagobert II and
the Merovingian dynasty. Orme is French for 'elm.' Or, of course, is
'gold.' And the M that forms the frame enclosing the other letters is
not only an M but also the astrological sign for Virgo—connoting, in
the language of medieval iconography, Notre Dame...
""...mysterious Abbey of Orval...[is] where our research suggested
the Prieuré de Sion may have had its inception." - 31:113,122
The signature of the Prieuré de Sion utilized the sign of Virgo with
the four letters ORUS in the form of a cross within the symbol. It's
appears that the name of Ormus incorporated the gods, Virgo and Horus,
i.e. the Madonna and Child.
"...consider the device of the Priory of SION, namely, the name Ormus,
and its glyph. The glyph is as follows:
ORcUS.
[note, for older browsers: this is OR + Virgo Sign + US, the Virgo
Sign in the standard font, "Wingdings"]
"What is this? Ormus, that is, Virgo and ORUS. What is ORUS? ORUS is a
corrupted form of Horus, and is used in Crowley's 5th Degree Ritual
for the OTO. His Rose-Croix ritual includes an analysis of the
Keyword, much like in the Golden Dawn Adeptus Minor Ceremony, only IAO
stands not for ISIS, APOPHIS, and OSIRIS, but IACCHUS, ASI, and ORUS."
- 937
According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Ormus evolved into the Order of
the Prieuré de Sion of the Rosy Cross: "One is intended to see in
Ormus the origins of the so-called Rose-Croix, or Rosicrucians. And in
1188 the Prieuré de Sion is said to have adopted a second subtitle in
addition to Ormus. It is said to have called itself L'Ordre de la
Rose-Croix Veritas... Ormus...[was] the name allegedly adopted by the
Prieuré de Sion between 1188 and 1307." - 31:123,185
Charles Nodier, Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion from 1801-1884,
averred that this secret order presided over a global network of
secret societies: "There are a great many secret societies in
operation, Nodier declares. But there is one, he adds, that takes
precedence over all others, that in fact presides over all others.
According to Nodier this 'supreme' secret society is called the
Philadelphes. At the same time, however, he speaks of 'the oath which
forbids me to make them known under their social name.' Nevertheless
there is a hint of Sion..." - 31:152
In 1099, the Merovingian dynasty in collusion with Pope Urban II, a
Merovingian, launched the First Crusade. The following rather long
excerpt from an article titled The Merovingian Infiltration of the
Christian World Through Monasticism confirms what we have long
suspected. Urban was not the first Merovingian pope, but the 6th in a
succession of French Merovingian popes beginning in 999 A.D.
999 AD The first Frenchman to be pope, becomes Sylvester II, former
tutor of the Emperor Otto III (note: Sylvester I (314) had been pope
during the reign of Constantine, who like Merovingians facilitated
Christianity, but remained pagan until his deathbed). The new French
pope, Sylvester II had been Abbot of the monastery founded by
Columbanus, Bobbio; became one of its scholars, excelling in
mathematics which had been learned in Arab schools in Spain; thence,
he became Master at Reims. The French Merovingian infiltration had
begun —-in 999—- 666 upside down! Clue: Sylvester died on what would
become the eve of the Feast of Fatima, May 12 Observe closely the
progression of the infiltration in the following entries:
1057 : Stephen IX (X), French Abbot of Monte Cassino, Benedict’s
monastery, becomes pope and surrounds himself with leading “Reformers”
per the Merovingian mandate to “Reform the Church” (meaning “Crush the
Church” per the conspiracy).
1058: Nicholas II, French from Burgundy becomes a leading reformer
pope
1073: Gregory VII of Tuscany, part of the Carolingian kingdom of the
Franks, and Cluniac monk becomes pope and transforms the Church into a
legal institution with a monarchial form of government. He seems not
to have played his “expected role” as he came into conflict with the
Holy Roman Emperor when he issued a general ban on lay investiture. He
died exiled captive of the Normans.
1087: Victor III, Abbot of Monte Cassino, Benedict’s monastery,
becomes pope.
1088: Urban II, French Prior of Cluny (Reformed Benedictines) becomes
the pope. Urban was of the “Eudes” family, not only the name of the
King of the Franks, Eudes, who ruled 888 to 898 and considered one of
the antecedent kings of the Capetian House of France, but also the
name of the Royal Capetian line of Burgundy, great grandson of Hugh
Capet, Eudes I the RED of Burgundy who acceded 1079, NINE years before
Urban (Eudes) became pope. And Eudes the Red acceded in that specific
year because his brother, Hugh I of Burgundy, had abdicated to become
the Prior of Cluny! Now something is very amiss here ! Is this just
coincidence ? Both were sons of Henry of Burgundy who married Sibylle
of Barcelona. Henry was son of Robert I of Burgundy, who was the son
of Hugh Capet. Barcelona, home of their mother, was part of the
Spanish March connected to Septimania and, here too, the Duke of
Aquitaine in 1012 was Eudes of Aquitaine ! And Aquitaine and
Septimania are extremely significant :
It happens that Septimania (Languedoc) is exactly where the
Jesus-Magdalene heresy flourished, and where there was a large
population of Cathar Jews who were given independent status by Pepin,
Carolingian King. Thence their own kings ruled as: “seed of the Royal
House of David”, each acknowledged as “King of the Jews”, most famous
of whom was Guillem de Gellone, the Prince of Orange. Confusing this
issue, these kings also claimed to be of Merovingian descent ; but not
confusing when one realizes that Jesus was of the House of David and
Mary Magdalene was from the town Magdala, 4 miles from Tiberius,
founded by Herod Antipas, who was an Edomite descendant of Esau with
whom Benjaminites married. Additionally, Absolom, David’s son, who
pulled a coup d’etat on his own father in an attempt to take his
throne, had a rebel following who would have joined the Benjaminite
cause. Absalom died when his long hair got caught in branches in the
forest during the Coup. (2 Sam:18:9) And the Merovingians, first
Dynasty of French kings, were the Long Haired Kings!!
“The details of the separate kingdom of Septimania were erased from
history books; but the descendant bloodlines were apparently the
“heretical Royal Bloodlines”as : Dukes of Aquitaine, Dukes of
Lorraine, Dukes of Guise; Counts of Barcelona, Counts of Toulouse,
Counts of Auvergne; Counts of Razes. (HBHB, pp 368-371) And it was
precisely a Duke of Aquitaine who founded Cluny! Thus, Septimania now
becomes extremely important, for now Urban II, descendant of the Eudes
of Septimania and Cluny Prior, is the pope who will call the first
Crusades resulting in the crowning of a direct lineal descendant of
Guillem de Gellone, named Godfroi de Bouillon, Duke of Lorraine , as
King of Jerusalem! Aquitaine is so-named on maps of Second Century
Roman Empire and comprised then, the whole area from Languedoc, South
France, to Poitou and Anjou. Septimania was the area that was later
known as the Languedoc.
The pretext for the Crusade—recovery of the Temple treasures and
sacred sites—may have concealed the real motive of the Merovingians,
which was to deposit their Grail cache at Jerusalem. These artifacts
will be 'discovered' in the future and used as 'proof' of Merovingian
claims of their 'divine' blood. Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas
identify the Merovingian families who conspired with the Merovingian
pope in The Second Messiah: Templars, The Turin Shroud and the Great
Secret of Freemasonry:
"The picture that was emerging was of a group of European noble
families, descended from the Jewish lines of David and Aaron, who had
escaped from Jerusalem shortly before, or possible even just after,
the fall of the Temple. They had passed down the knowledge of the
artifacts concealed within the Temple to a chosen son...of each
family. Some of the families involved were the Counts of Champagne,
Lords of Gisors, Lords of Payen, Counts of Fontaine, Counts of Anjou,
de Bouillon, St. Clairs of Roslin, Brienne, Joinville, Chaumont, St
Clair de Gisor, St Clair de Neg and the Hapsburgs...
"By 1095, the members of the Rex Deus families group were almost
certainly fully Christianised, yet each of them must have had at least
one male member who held the traditional history of their high-born
Jewish roots close to his heart. No doubt they saw themselves as
'super-Christians', descendants of the very first Church, and privy to
the greatest secret this side of heaven. They were a silent elite —
'the kings of God'.
"Indeed, the history books record that [Pope Urban II's]
leadership marked the papacy's assumption of the leadership of Western
Christendom...
"If the Rex Deus group did exist, it is easy to see how the First
Crusade provided these families with a 'God-given' opportunity to
return to their Holy Temple to recover the treasure that was their
birthright - and it would be done at exactly the same time that the
Jewish writer of the Gospel of John the Divine had predicted! The Rex
Deus families were at the forefront of the First, and every Crusade.
Medieval scholars have long wondered why it should be that the same
families drove all of the Crusades for their entire duration, and now
we had a possible answer.
"Once the Christian armies had secured Jerusalem, the non-Rex Deus
leaders were quickly removed and the families infiltrated the
Jerusalem monarchy and the Church, to ensure that they would not be
blocked in the holy endeavor of the 'Kings of God' to regain what
their ancestors had left for them...
"...in 1114...[the Rex Deus group] told Baldwin [King of
Jerusalem] that they wanted to post a small contingent of knights in
Jerusalem to carry out some exploratory digging under the pretext of
being...guardians of the highways for pilgrims... Unfortunately, the
king was not persuaded... In 1118, Baldwin I died at the age of sixty
(presumably of natural causes) and his cousin was rapidly crowned King
Baldwin II of Jerusalem. Within weeks, nine French knights were camped
on the site of Herod's stables... The world was told their mission was
to save the Christian pilgrims from the evil Muslim bandits, but their
true mission was to locate and rescue the scrolls and treasures of the
Jerusalem Church." - 96:79-83
In his book Behold a Pale Horse, William Cooper stated that the real
treasure the Templars absconded with was not the Temple artifacts, but
relics pertaining to Jesus Christ, including His bones! We wondered
for some time how Cooper knew this. Not only did Cooper claim to know
what the relics of Jesus are, but where they are hidden. Underlying
Cooper's belief in this heresy is his rejection of the death,
resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ:
"One of the greatest secrets of the ages is the true story of the Holy
Grail, the robe of Jesus, the remains of the Cross of Crucifixion, and
whether Jesus actually died or if he survived and produced a child.
Many myths surround the Knights Templar concerning these relics, and
most myths throughout history have at least some basis in fact. If my
sources are correct, the Knights Templar survive today as a branch of
the Illuminati and guard the relics, which are hidden in a location
known only to them...
"According to members of the intelligence community, when the New
World Order is solidified the relics will be taken out, will be united
with the Spear of Destiny, and will, according to legend, give the
world's ruler absolute power. This may confirm beliefs passed down
through the ages that describe the significance of these relics when
united in the hands of one man. It may also explain Hitler's desperate
search for their hiding place during World War II. Again I must remind
you that it makes not one iota of difference what you believe. If they
believe, you will be affected.
"The Knights Templar were founded sometime during the 11th century in
Jerusalem by the Prieure de Sion for the express purpose of guarding
the remaining relics of Jesus and to provide military protection for
the religious travelers during their pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
"The Prieure de Sion was a religious order founded upon Mount Sion in
Jerusalem. The Order set for itself the goal of preserving and
recording the bloodline of Jesus and the House of David. Through every
means available to them, the Prieure de Sion had found and retrieved
the remaining relics. I am amazed at the authors of Holy Blood, Holy
Grail and the information that they have unearthed. Most of all I am
amazed at their inability to put the puzzle together. The treasure
hidden in France is not the treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem. It is
the Holy Grail itself, the robe of Jesus, the last remaining pieces of
the Cross of Crucifixion, and, according to my sources, someone's
bones. I can tell you that the reality of the bones will shake the
world to its very foundations if I have been told the truth. The
relics are hidden in France. I know the location and so do the authors
of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, but they do not know that they know—or do
they?" - 51:75-6
Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the multitude of Grail publications all
purport that the future revelation of the treasure of Rennes le
Chateau, the French village where the Prieuré de Sion deposited the
Templars' Grail cache, will be the undoing of Christianity. The
Prieuré obviously plans to produce, i.e. manufacture, relics which
would disprove the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.
A French website maintains that this is the famed secret of Rennes le
Chateau:
"...that the treasure of Rennes is not material but that it contains
the formal proof that the crucifixion did not take place and that
Jesus was still alive in the year 45 (?!?!?). Source of this priest:
another priest Anglican, Gun Alfred Leslie Lilley, died in 1940, which
had contacts with the modernistic catholic movement (based at the
beginning with St-Sulpice), like with Emile Hoffet." - 948
Returning to the Black Virgin, Ean Begg noted: "The legendary origin
of so many statuettes in the baggage trains of returning crusaders,
especially when they happened to be Templars, is no guarantee of the
orthodoxy of their cult. That many legends of the period connect the
twelfth-century Black Virgins with an earlier miraculous origin dating
from the Merovingian period raises potentially disquieting
religio-political questions." - 272:14
During the 13th century, the Knights Templar were involved in the
financing and otherwise lending support to the building of over 1,000
churches and cathedrals throughout Europe, many in honor of the Black
Virgin. Following the dissolution of the Templars in 1307, the Prieuré
de Sion carried on quietly mainstreaming the Black Virgin,
particularly in France. Laurence Gardner wrote in Bloodline of the
Holy Grail of the astrological configuration of the French cathedrals:
"In accordance with the Hermetic principle of 'As above, so below',
the combined ground-plan of the Notre Dame cathedrals replicates the
Virgo constellation... {See The Mysteries of Chartres Cathedral for
this configuration.} The 'Notre Dame' cathedrals...were mainly the
work of the 'Children of Solomon'—a guild of masons instructed by St.
Bernard's Cistercian Order." - 29:264, 66
"The nine Knights were sent out by Bernard the Cistercian; gothic
was born at Citeaux. The whole gothic formula derives from the
Cistercians and the 'Conipagnons des Devoirs'—heirs of the builders of
gothic cathedrals—make no mystery that they derive their
characteristic 'feature', their descriptive geometry, indispensable
for the erection of gothic monuments, from the Cistercian Order.
"1020. This was a notable epoch in Romanesque architecture; the
epoch during which Christianity decked itself with 'a display of white
churches'; for this was the time when after a labour lasting five
centuries the Benedictine abbeys succeeded in constituting a corps, a
lay brotherhood of builders, affiliated to the Order, to which they
could appeal for protection if necessary.
"After the abbeys, where they trained their workmen, the
Benedictines were able to put lay builders at the disposal of the
secular church, often under the direction of monastic
master-craftsmen...who came to build and teach in Normandy...
"...beneath the aisles and choir of [Chartres Cathedral] called,
wrongly, the crypt; a more exact designation would be 'the lower
church'. There is a tradition that the builders' guilds, at leas
'Children of Solomon', held ceremonies of initiation in this crypt." -
926
The Black Virgin was, in reality, Virgo, the Great Mother Goddess
known to the Egyptians as Isis, who was christened in Alexandria as
Mary Magdalene. According to The Cult of the Black Virgin, the full
name of the Prieuré is the Order of the Prieuré Notre Dame de Sion.
Former Grand Master of the Prieuré, Pierre Plantard de Saint Clair,
has identified Notre Dame as Our Lady of the Light, i.e. Lucifer, the
Light-Bearer.
"There exists in France an organization that has been in
continuous existence since the twelfth century, that has some features
both of an order of chivalry and of a religious order, though it is
not quite either; a secret society which does not spurn the right sort
of publicity; a political grouping with specific aims that is also
interested in ancient esoteric wisdom and hidden mysteries. Its full
name is the Order of the Prieuré Notre Dame de Sion, and its chief aim
seems always to have been the restoration of the Merovingian
blood-line to the throne. It is also passionately concerned with the
cult of the Black Virgin and has a remarkable record of equal rights
for women...
"The Grand Master of the Prieuré 1981-4, Pierre Plantard, is
reported as saying that the Sicambrians, ancestors of the Frankish
Merovingians, worshipped Cybele as Diana of the Nine Fires, or as
Arduina, the eponymous goddess of the Ardennes. The huge idol to
Diana/Arduina which once towered over Carignan, in north-east France,
between the Black Virgin sites of Orval, Avioth and Mezièrres, near to
Stenay, where the Merovingian king and saint, Dagobert II, was
murdered in 679, points circumstantially to a link between the two
cults. In this connection Plantard mentions that one of the most
important acts of Dagobert, when he acceded to the throne after his
Irish exile, was to continue the ancient tradition of Gaul, the
worship of the Black Virgin. The Black Virgin, he insists, is Isis and
her name is Notre-Dame de Lumière." - 272:14
As stated by Ean Begg, the raison d'être of the Prieuré de Sion is the
restoration of the Merovingian bloodline as the royalty of Europe and
even to the position of world domination. From this bloodline—whose
blasphemous claims of divinity refer to intermarriage between the
pre-flood demons and the daughters of men—issued a truly Satanic
dynasty of kings. The Merovingians boast that the founder of their
dynasty, King Meroveus, a worshiper of the virgin goddess Diana of the
Nine Fires, was sired by a 'beast of the sea'—Neptune, god of the sea
and founder of Atlantis. According to the author of Bloodline of the
Holy Grail:
"Despite the carefully listed genealogies of his time, the heritage of
Meroveus was strangely obscured in the monastic annals. Although the
rightful son of Clodion, he was nonetheless said by the historian
Priscus to have been sired by an arcane sea creature, the Bistea
Neptunis... The Sicambrian Franks, from whose female line the
Merovingians emerged were associated with Grecian Arcadia before
migrating to the Rhineland. As we have seen, they called themselves
the Newmage — 'People of the New Covenant', just as the Essenes of
Qumran had once been known. It was the Arcadian legacy that was
responsible for the mysterious sea beast—the Bistea Neptunis— as
symbolically defined in the Merovingian ancestry. The relevant
sea-lord was King Pallas, a god of old Arcadia... The immortal
sea-lord was said to be 'ever-incarnate in a dynasty of ancient kings'
whose symbol was a fish - as was the traditional symbol of Jesus." -
29:166,175
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. - Rev. 13:1
Not only was Meroveus sired by the sea beast, Neptune, the Merovingian
race was sired by the Nephilim—that demonically-bred race of giants
which God destroyed in the Flood. That the Merovingian bloodline is
associated with the subterranean race that inhabits earth's center
(Hell) is confirmed by Dagobert's Revenge, where a review is posted of
a book by Kenneth Grant, who was appointed by Aleister 'The Beast'
Crowley to succeed him as Grand Master of the Ordo Templi Orientis:
"The Nephilim were banished to the center of the earth for disobeying
God by mating with the daughters of men and teaching them the
'forbidden' arts. In this publication the Nephilim have been
identified as the Fathers of the Merovingians...
"...the Merovingian race was sired by a water beast known as the
Quinotaur. This Quinotaur took the form of a sea-bull. Crowley's
personal seal was of a sea goat. Grant, writing of Crowley's Seal of
the Beast, says: 'The beast is the sea-goat or amphibious monster
identical with Cthulhu, the Quinotaure or Bull of the Deep.' Grant
writes as a footnote; 'The waters under the earth; home of the
'ancestors' or subconscious atavisms of the race.' Is this a reference
to the race of the Grail?." - 571
It was originally from Cain, whose descendants intermarried with the
Nephilim, that the Grail race descended. Enki, the twin brother of
Enlil, is merely an anagram of Cain, whose twin was Abel according to
occult belief.
"The mortal world spreads east and west and the land of le invisibles
lies above and below it in the vertical dimensions of height and
depths, north and south, Horus and Set.' This ties in with the Book of
Enoch and the Hosts above and the fallen, banished Nephilim below.
This also reminds us of the twins or brother gods in Sumeria called
Enki and Enlil. Enki, the infernal of the two, represents Set and
Enlil represents Horus (although in this context Enlil would also be
Osiris.) In ancient mythologies names and stories can be switched and
one god can also be an attribute of another. It's best to keep this in
mind when studying this type of material. Set kills Osiris as Enki
kills Enlil. As it has been shown in another article of this
publication, Enki is associated with Cain, and Cain was a very bad
boy. Enki was an infernal god that has been identified, in this
publication, as siring the Merovingian race.
"...Enki has been associated with Set...who is also Satan...
"...Writing of the Great Old Ones or Elder Gods from Lovecraftian
lore, Grant says, 'The letter M, the key vibration of the plane of the
Elder Gods, is represented mythologically as the sea-goat, Makaru or
as the crocodile, the beast of the waters.' Couldn't Makaru be a form
of Merovee who spawned the Merovingians, and was sired himself from a
sea-bull? Tracy Twyman has already written of the connections between
Lovecraft's Necronomicon Mythos and the Merovingians in her article
Dead But Dreaming: The Great Old Ones of Lovecraftian Legend
Reinterpreted as Sumerian/Atlantean Kings..." - 571
"The Eye Over the Throne was a hieroglyph used in Egypt and Sumeria to
denote the world monarchy of the Atlantean Gods. Since here it is
called 'Kingu', obviously he was one of these 'kings', perhaps related
etymologically to 'Cain', whose name is the root from which the word
'king' comes, and who is said to be one of the eldest ancestors of the
Grail family." - 922
According to Blavatsky, after the Flood it was Noah's son, Ham, and
his descendants, who preserved and carried on the occult traditions of
Cain, including intermarriage with the gods:
"The history or 'fables' about the mysterious Telchines—fables echoing
each and all the archaic events of our esoteric teachings—furnish us
with a key to the origin of Cain's genealogy (Genesis, ch. iii.); they
give the reason why the Roman Catholic Church identifies 'the accursed
blood' of Cain and Ham with Sorcery, and makes it responsible for the
Deluge. Were not the Telchines—it is argued—the mysterious ironworkers
of Rhodes; they who were the first to raise statues to the gods,
furnish them with weapons, and men with magic arts? And is it not they
who were destroyed by a deluge at the command of Zeus, as the Cainites
were by that of Jehovah?" - 897:391
Dagobert's Revenge recommends Tracy Twyman's "Dead But Dreaming: The
Great Old Ones of Lovecraftian Legend Reinterpreted as
Sumerian/Atlantean Kings" for information about the Atlantean gods,
the Nephilim, who will rise again when the stars are in the right
position. According to that informative article, the Nephilim
preserved their occult traditions within the oath-bound secret
societies which are now programming the younger generation to accept
the Grail mythology as true.
"The Secret Doctrine given to the elite castes of mankind by the
Nephilim or the 'Annunaki', the gods of ancient Sumeria and Atlantis,
has been passed down through the ages, not only to the Masons,
Templars, Rosicrucians, and other fraternal orders which perpetuate
the tradition, but also to the teenage geeks and D & D 'gamers' of
today via the [H.P.] Lovecraft/Necronomicon lore, which has given
birth to a cornucopia of role-playing and computer games, in much the
same way that Monty Python and the Society for Creative Anachronism
have kept alive the Grail myth for these same teenagers." - 922
Twyman quotes The Necronomian, "a volume written in Damascus in the
Eighth Century, A.D., by a person called the 'Mad Arab', Abdul
Alhazred... This book, according to the mythos, contains the formulae
for evoking incredible things into visible appearance, beings and
monsters which dwell in the Abyss, and Outer Space, of the human
psyche." The Necronomicon, or "Book From the Dead" consists of
messages from the ancient gods of Lemuria and Atlantis, who foretell
that, when the stars are rightly positioned in the heavens, will be
the opportune time for performing blood rituals to effect the
resurrection of these 'sleeping' gods and their human offspring:
"'There had been eons when other things ruled on the Earth, and
they had had great cities. Remains of them, he said the deathless
Chinaman had told him, were still to be found as Cyclopean stones on
islands in the Pacific. They all died vast epochs of time before man
came, but there were arts which could revive them when the stars had
come round again to the right positions in the cycle of eternity. They
had indeed come themselves from the stars, and brought their images
with them.'
"Lovecraft, like Enoch, and like ancient man himself, conceived of the
ancient Atlantean gods or Nephilim as possessing supernatural power,
and, like Enoch, says that this power comes from the stars, that these
beings in fact had come from the stars themselves, and seemed to be
metaphysically affected by the movement of the stars, being able to
resurrect from the dead only when the stars were in a certain
position.
"Likewise, the Atlantean god-kings purposely associated themselves
with the stars and the planets, taking on the personifications of
planets and constellations, each of which had a particular 'energy' or
'plain of existence' associated with it. This energy could be further
manipulated by the prayers and rituals of the cult members who are
loyal to the Great Old Ones, and wish to see their kingdom rise again,
in much the same way that Masons, Rosicrucians and other occultists
today perform rituals in hope of bringing about the 'Great Work'
called the 'New World Order', a new Golden Age just like the one that
covered the Antediluvian world when the Atlantean god-kings (whom they
revere) ruled over the Earth directly. The Eye in the Pyramid on our
dollar bill, which represents the New World Order, is clearly a symbol
of this newly-risen kingdom of Atlantis, 'watched over' (as in 'the
Watchers') by the All-Seeing Eye, which could just as easily be the
eye of Dagon, or Leviathan, or Cthulhu. It even looks reptilian, like
it belongs on the face of a dragon.
"The rise of R'lyeh, the New World Order, the New Atlantis, the
New Jerusalem, the Golden Age, and even the Apocalypse - these are all
terms for the same resurrection of the ancient global kingdom of the
gods. Such a resurrection is also described in Aleister Crowley's The
Book of the Law when he writes about the coming 'Age of Horus' and the
return of the rule of the gods, as well as their offspring, the human
'kings'." - 922
Alice Bailey associated the Grail bloodline with the sign of Virgo:
"Virgo itself is a cup-shaped constellation...; in its highest meaning
the Holy Grail." Along with descent from immortal sea beasts, the
Prieuré de Sion also alleges to have "incontrovertible proof" of
Merovingian descent from Jesus Christ and His continuing bloodline,
and has been working to reestablish the power of the Merovingian
dynasty, this time over a world kingdom.
However, even Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln have admitted, "while the
Merovingian royal blood was credited with a sacred, miraculous, and
divine nature, it was not explicitly stated anywhere that this blood
was in fact Jesus." Claims of direct descent from Jesus—who is at best
another Jesus, Yeshu, an Essene adept who saves by giving gnosis
rather than shedding his blood—and Mary Magdalene (the holy grail or
womb which bore this other Jesus' children) are merely attempts to
Christianize the demonic bloodline which will place Lucifer on the
throne of this world.
'THE MOTHER PRECEDES THE SON'
...the constellation Virgo, which in fact rises just before the star
Arcturus. http://www.dibonsmith.com/vir_con.htm
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained
to be delivered. - Rev. 12:1,2
"Thus, in conclusion, we greet Mary as the great sign in the heavens
which precedes the coming of her Son, because the mother always
precedes the son. We greet her as the one who at Fatima wanted to
bring peace to the world if we fulfilled the demands of her maternal
heart... We greet her as the Victor in all the battles of God, and as
the Mother of the Church who will bring the Good Friday of the Church
to an end and give it a new Easter." - Bishop Rudolph Graber, Fatima
Advancing Rapidly Towards Final Fulfillment - 929
A New Easter? Of course. The feast of the Mother Goddess, Ishtar.
During the Renaissance, that medieval period when the occult
traditions flooded Europe from the Mideast, Chartres Cathedral was
built on a sacred site in France where ancient Druids worshipped the
Mother Goddess. A World Heritage Site famous for its Gothic
architecture—and, to the initiated, its thoroughly pagan
symbolism—Chartres Cathedral is known to occultists as the 'Golden
Book' that reinstated the philosophy of classical Greece in the
mainstream of Christian Europe. The cathedral expresses through
'sacred geometry' and astrological symbolism the Gnostic belief that
"Man can compass his salvation by means of knowledge", referring to
gnosis. Within its massive structure was housed a mystery school which
operated as a theological academy for over two centuries. In the
underground crypt of the cathedral, initiates worshipped a replica of
a Druidic statue known as the 'Virgini Pariturae' or 'the virgin about
to give birth'. The Templar Chronicles calls the Virgini Pariturae
"the Virgo who must give birth".
The statue in the underground chapel was also called Our Lady Under
the Earth because the crypt, where initiations took place, was
believed to be connected to telluric powers, i.e. the underworld. On
the west front of Chartres Cathedral is featured in the tympanum of
the right portal—the Gate of Birth—a statue identical to the Virgini
Pariturae in the underground chamber. The exterior icon was and still
is venerated by the profane masses of Catholics as Mary, the 'Mother
of God'. Exoterically the white virgin on the west facade is the
Blessed Virgin Mary who gave birth two thousand years ago; but
esoterically, she is the black virgin who was still pregnant with
child.
"The Druid's love of inner journeys and their visions inspired their
prophesies about the woman that would bring a saviour into the world.
This pregnant woman is the black madonna we often find in medieval
shrines throughout Europe. If the white virgin is the one who has
already given birth, the black virgin is the pregnant woman of the
druid's vision." - 931
The photos below show 'Mary' in a position identical to the other
Black Virgins we have seen above—enthroned and with a child on her
lap, or rather between her thighs!! The Gemini figures, representing
twins, are difficult to recognize; see the left arch on a level with
the twelve apostles.

The occult symbolism of this most famous of the medieval cathedrals is
discussed in the Masonic book, Rosslyn: Guardian of the Secrets of the
Holy Grail. According to authors Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn
Hopkins, the seven mystical cathedrals of Europe were deliberately
founded on Druidic sites dedicated to planetary oracles. There is a
prophecy that, when the planets align in the same configuration as the
cathedrals, the time of transition into the New Age will have arrived.
The sacred site upon which Chartres Cathedral was erected was
dedicated by the Druids to the Sun.
"The Druids, like most initiatory tribal cultures, woshipped the
principle of the Eternal Feminine as the source of all fertility.
Julius Caesar describes, in de Bello Gallico, the veneration accorded
to a fire-blackened, female figurine which was worshipped at a Druidic
sacred grotto at Carnutum, now the modern city of Chartres...—a
fertility symbol he called Virgini Pariturae, the virgin about to give
birth... It was at Chartres that the Church adopted the veneration of
the fire-blackened, Druidic figurine Virgini Pariturae in the guise of
the Black Madonna. A medieval replica of the Druidic figure is found
in the crypt, which the official guide states categorically was used
as an initiation chamber. " - 266:49,163
The Virgin portrayed in the west facade of Chartres Cathedral is
called the 'Virgini Pariturae', which means "the virgin about to give
birth". This statue does not represent Mary or the Biblical concept of
womanhood, but the archetypal goddesses of fertility and the 'feminine
prinicple'. Since Chartres was dedicated to the Sun-God, the child of
the sculpture is Horus, not Jesus Christ. The following excerpt from
Rosslyn reveals how Gnostic occultism engulfed Western Christendom
through the occult infiltration of the Roman Church.
"The revelations of the ancient mysteries brought about a deep insight
into the laws of all natural phenomena, revealing the very unity in
nature which is the mainspring of creation, and the importance of the
principle of the eternal feminine. To commemorate this heretical and
pagan concept, they carved a replica of the Druidic statue 'Virgini
Pariturae', the virgin about to give birth, which had been a focus of
worship at Chartres in pre-Christian times. To avoid persecution and
to enable this powerful symbol to exert its influence the statue was
carved in the guise of Mary the Mother of God with the infant Jesus
seated on her lap. This symbolic representation of fertility and the
archetypal feminine rests in the crypt of Chartres to this day. It is
known as Notre-Dame de Sous-Terre—Our Lady Under the Earth. A replica
of this figurine was then carved in the place of honour above the
main portal of the cathedral. After many years of theological dispute
with the Orthodox Church in the East, Roman Catholicism had at long
last stumbled across the perfect answer to the problems posed by the
ambiguities inherent in the title 'Mother of God'. In emphasizing
Mary's role, the Church was fulfilling a deep and long-felt need among
its adherents by importing the pagan principle of the eternal feminine
into the previously male-dominated and patriarchal realm of the Holy
Trinity. Early Christians had taken up the theology of St. Paul which
described Jesus as the 'Second Adam'. They then fell into the
theological trap by calling Mary the 'Second Eve', so reviving the old
pagan concept of the divine son/spouse relationship as found in the
Ishtar and Tammuz cult of ancient Babylonia and in the worship of Isis
and Osiris in Pharaonic Egypt. This form of veneration also
incorporated the concept of Sophia the goddess of Wisdom. The Church
attempted to exert control over this Marian cult in its traditional
manner by taking over pre-Christian forms of worship and sacred sites
dedicated to various goddesses, renaming them in honour of the Holy
Virgin. The symbolism, prayers and litanies associated with Demeter,
Cybele, Ishtar and Isis were adopted and given a Christian veneer. -
266:87-89
Wallace-Murphy and Ms. Hopkins credit the Merovingian infiltrators for
the stunning success of Mariolotry in Roman Catholicism: "It is ironic
that Mariolotry, one of the major and most pervasive aspects of modern
Catholicism, should have been further strengthened by the spiritual
understanding of hidden initiates in the Middle Ages." (266:89)
The pagan principle of the eternal feminine asserts that the Mother
Goddess ruled over the first age of earth, corresponding to Lemuria,
which supposedly achieved the highest level of civilization ever known
to man. It is the same Gnostic principle which Bishop Graber and the
present Pope fundamentally espouse, viz., that the divine feminine,
masquerading as Mary, chronologically preceded and therefore gave
divine life to her Son. As previously stated, one significant outcome
of the Nestorian heresy was to give priority to the Mother Goddess,
the pagan feminine archetype, over her Son. There are, however,
esoteric connotations in Bishop Graber's statement, which which only
the initiated fully understand.
"...we greet Mary as the great sign in the heavens which precedes the
coming of her Son..."
Bishop Graber's prediction is generally construed as an apparition of
Mary, the Mother of God. Pope John Paul II is expecting a
manifestation of Mary similar to the 'Miracle of the Sun' at Fatima,
Portugal on October 13, 1917. On this occasion, the sun appearing as
"a solar disc...spun upon itself in a mad whirl...and whirling wildly,
seemed all at once to loosen itself from the firmament and, blood red,
advance threateningly upon the earth as if to crush us with its huge
and fiery weight." (938) Catholics believe that a recurrence of this
miracle would vindicate the Catholic Church as the 'one true Church'.
Although Roman Catholics perceive this apparition as a visitation of
Mary, the mother of Jesus, New Agers recognize the many occult
phenomena which attended the solar event at Fatima. According to a
published eye-witness account of the Fatima apparition, the sun took
on the appearance of a solar disk, an ancient occult symbol of the
sun. (See solar disk symbol and explanation.) On October 13, 1917, the
sun would have risen in the sign of Virgo; also the Moon was in Virgo.
Bishop Graber has predicted that a sign will precede the coming of
Christ. And not just a sign, but a great sign! Was the Bishop
referring to Virgo, the Great Mother Goddess?
On Friday, October 13 in the year 1307 A.D., the Knights Templars were
arrested by King Philip IV of France in collusion with Pope Clement V.
Might the Fatima vision in 1917 have been a sign of the coming
vengeance determined upon Rome by the Templars? Bishop Graber, whose
associations include Knight of Malta, Peter Beyerhaus, may be sending
an esoteric message that Virgo will be the sign in the heavens which
will precede the coming of Horus, the pagan messiah who will avenge
the Knights Templars by destroying the Roman Catholic Church.
Should another Fatima-type apparition occur in the sign of Virgo,
perhaps at Medjugorje, such an event would hardly vindicate Roman
Catholicism as the 'one true Church.' To the contrary, another such
apparition displaying overtly occult phenomena would probably provide
the death warrant needed to overthrow this Harlot Church which has, in
recent times, scandalized the world with reports of homosexuality and
pedophilia in its priesthood.
Since few are wise to the Merovingian infiltration and takeover of the
Roman Catholic Church or that celibacy, homosexuality and pederasty
are sacred rites of the Merovingians; and given that the secret
societies under the oversight of the Prieuré de Sion control the news
media which has sensationalized these scandals — and considering the
effectiveness of this ingenious and carefully executed plan, we submit
that the mighty fall of this citadel of Christendom is a fait
accompli.
...and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names
of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns... 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. - Revelation 17:16
THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY
SATANIC BLOODLINE OF THE ANTICHRIST & FALSE PROPHET
THE IDENTITY OF THE FALSE CHRIST
"A number of times the Scripture refers to Jesus as 'The Branch.'
Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH' (Zechariah 6:12). That is one
of the names in the Old Testament for the coming of the Messiah. Also,
concerning the Branch, we read in Zechariah 3:8, For, behold, I will
bring forth my servant the BRANCH.' Also 'In that day shall the branch
of the Lord be beautiful and glorious.' (Isaiah 4:2a). He is the
servant, He is a man, He is God; He is the God-man, Jesus, who has
come... A confirmatory of this is that the brightest star in Virgo is
called Spica, which has the ancient meaning of 'The Branch'—a picture
of the coming of Christ." (D. James Kennedy) - 872:20-21
Although the constellations in the heavens do not form configurations
that are definitively human, animal or vegetable, promoters of the
false 'Gospel in the Stars' are of the same opinion as astrologers
that Virgo holds a Branch, and that this Branch represents 'the
Christ' who will come to redeem the world. E. W. Bullinger actually
stated: "The day has here come to fulfill the prophecies concerning
Him who is 'the Branch,' 'the Branch of Jehovah,' 'the man whose name
is the Branch.'" (939) Knowing that Virgo is the Great Mother Goddess
of pagan religions, the Scriptures Kennedy and Bullinger have cited
will undoubtedly be used to validate a false Christ who will be
promoted as 'The Branch' and whose name will actually mean "branch".
And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying,
Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of
his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: - Zech. 6:12
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a
righteous BRANCH, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall
execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be
saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he
shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. - Jer. 23:5,6
In that day shall the BRANCH of the LORD be beautiful and glorious...
- Is. 4:2
Isaiah 14 also mentions a branch. In the King James Version, this
chapter describes the fall of Lucifer who will one day incarnate the
Antichrist in his attempt to destroy the world:
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how
art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For
thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt
my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of
the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the
heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be
brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 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; That made
the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that
opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations,
even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou
art cast out of thy grave like an ABOMINABLE BRANCH, and as the
raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go
down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. - Is.
14:12-19
The Rev'd. Bullinger, Kennedy and fellow 'Biblical' astrologers inform
us that "Spica, which has the ancient meaning of 'The Branch'," is "a
picture of the coming of Christ." Now in the ancient zodiacs, Spica,
the 'branch,' was portrayed as a serpent. Note that in the sculpture
of Hathor (right), the goddess is holding the ears of grain and a
serpent! This 'serpent' (Spica) is the 'branch' or 'coming son' of
the Egyptians. Hathor stands upon a lion (Leo) and, as the woman who
rides the beast (Rev.17), is representative of the Mother
Goddess--Virgo, Eve and Isis:
"Eve or Hawwah is explained by Robert Graves as possibly being the
Hebrew version of Heba, Hebat, Khebat, or Khilba. She is depicted as
riding a lion in a sculpture. She was worshipped in Jerusalem. Her
Greek name was Heba, Heracles' goddess-wife.
"Eve is similar to Demeter or Ceres as the grain goddess, or the
goddess of the garden. This is Spica, an ear of corn. On Denerah Virgo
is Isis. Spica in Hebrew astrology is named Tsemech or 'branch'. This
name is symbolic of a coming son or branch. Al Mureddin another star
in Virgo is 'the branch that cometh' and is associated with a grape
gatherer (Noah) who would redeem man from the curse of the earth by
giving us wine." (1067)
Hathor as Qadesh the Syrian fertility goddess with phallic Min. Note
the Hathor crown and headdress. She stands on a lion, holding a
serpent and ears of grain (Graves 1946, Pritchard 1954) - 1060
From the 5th to the 8th centuries, the Merovingian dynasty of kings
ruled Europe and, from the Middle Ages until the present day, most of
Europe's monarchs have been of Merovingian lineage. In 679 A.D., the
Roman Catholic Church collaborated with the Carolingian dynasty to
assassinate the Merovingian King, Dagobert II. Dagobert's nephew,
Childeric III, was deposed in 751 by Pepin III, the first of the
Carolingian dynasty. The removal of the Merovingian kings culminated
with the coronation of Charlemagne, who became the Holy Roman Emperor
in 800. Ironically, Charlemagne and the Carolingians married
Merovingian wives in order to guarantee the continuation of their
dynasty. This would account for the perpetuity of the Merovingian
bloodline in the royalty of Europe.
“In the [8th] century the Merovingian Dynasty of France was overthrown
by the mayors of the Merovingian Palaces, the Carolingians (741). But
Carolingians were also a major part of the Jesus–Magdalene heresy, as
we shall soon see. They took Merovingian wives to assure that the
heretical 'divine' bloodline was preserved twofold. The Carolingian
empire became the unholy Holy Roman Empire under Charlemagne who
became the first Emperor, a huge coup.” - 550
"In fact, to consolidate his claim to the throne of the Franks,
Charlemagne had himself married a Merovingian princess." - 936
After the death of Dagobert II, the Merovingian bloodline continued in
the personage of Sigisbert IV, who fled to the south of France, to the
village of Rennes le Chateau in Razes. Sigisbert assumed the name of
"the Plant-Ard", which means "sapling" or "branch" and the title of
the Count of Razes. "Plant-Ard" evolved into the surname Plantard:
"...Dagobert II climbed on the throne but he was assassinated in 679
as well as his son Sigebert IV according to the official history...
"The Merovingian dynasty continued formally with Thierry IV and
Childéric III who was removed in 751 and this was the end of the
dynasty. According to the parchment found by Saunière, and this could
be true according to some historians, Sigebert IV escaped and arrived
in the Razes on the 17 of January 681 where he took refuge with his
grand father. Dagobert II had as a second wife Gisèle, the daughter
of Béra II the count of Razès. The Merovingian line included, after
Sigebert IV (676-758) also known as the 'Plant-Ard' - from whom Mr
Plantard took his name!-: Sigebert V (695-768), Bera III (715-771),
Guillemon, Bera IV (755-836), Bera V (794-860), Hildéric I and finally
Sigebert VI known as 'Ursus'. From this lineage came the Blanchefort
family who gave three centuries later a Templar Grand Master, Bertrand
de Blanchefort... According to the parchment found by Saunière the
lineage did not stop with Sigebert VI but continued up to this date
although nobody claimed the French throne."- 856
"According to the latest documents the Merovingian dynasty is now
alive in the Plantard family (we must remember that Saint Dagobert II'
son, Sigebert IV was also known as "Plant Ard or Rejeton Ardent")."
The phrase means Burning Kid!
Another prophecy pertaining to the Messiah is Isaiah 53:2: For he
shall grow up before him as a tender PLANT, and as a root out of a dry
ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
To further authenticate their pseudo-divine lineage, the Merovingian
genealogies have Sigisbert IV, the 'Plant-Ard' or Branch, married to
"Magdala", who is blasphemously identified as a descendant of Mary
Magdalene and Jesus Christ.
"...the marriage of Dagobert II and Giselle of Razes combined the two
bloodlines, that of the Holy Family and that of a pagan divine beast,
the Quinotaur. The connection between the Merovingians and the Holy
Family seems to have been hind-shadowed by this union of the
bloodlines, when indeed they would seem from contemporary sources to
be a kind of Pendragon lineage, such as Vortigern and Arthur in
Britain. In Sigisbert IV, it appears the bloodlines of the divine king
and the world teacher combined.
"Given the events of his childhood, it is natural that Sigsbert, the
new Count of Rhedae, kept a low profile. The only solid evidence of
his existence is a charter for a monastery signed in 718 by 'Sigebert,
Comte de Rhedae, and his wife Magdala'." - 873 (Book 1, Chap. 9)
Sigisbert and Magdala were most assuredly not descendants of Jesus
Christ and Mary Magdalene; rather their Pendragon lineage refers to
descent from Uther Pendragon, the father of King Arthur and Head
Dragon of the Druidic Dragon Court:
"The Pendragon, or 'Head Dragon of the Island'...was the King-of-Kings
and 'Guardian of the Celtic Isle'. The title was not dynastic;
Pendragons were appointed from Celtic royal stock by a Druidic council
of elders...
"The concept of the dragon in Celtic mythology emerged directly from
the holy crocodile (the Messeh) of the ancient Egyptians. The Pharaohs
were anointed with crocodile fat, and thereby attained the fortitude
of the Messeh (Thus Messiah—Anointed One). The image of the intrepid
Messeh evolved to become the Dragon, which in turn became emblematic
of mighty kingship." - 29:183
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan... Rev. 12:9
Jesus said unto them...Ye are of your father the devil... John 8:42,44
The Merovingian dynasty was deposed in 800 A.D., but perpetuated
itself in a direct line from Dagobert II through his son Sigisbert IV.
From this bloodline came Godfroi de Bouillon, who captured Jerusalem
in 1099 and formed the Knights Templars, as well as the Prieuré de
Sion. Recall that the Society of Ormus which originated in Alexandria,
Egypt had relocated to Calabria, Italy and that, in 1070 AD,
twenty-nine years before the first Crusade, the Calabrian monks
removed to Ardennes Forrest in France, part of the domains of Godfroi
de Bouillon who was the duke of Lorraine.
"The First Crusade (A.D. 1098) could then conceivably have been an
attempt to restore an heir of the Davidic bloodline to the throne of
Jerusalem in the person of Godfroi of Bouillon (also known as Godfroi
of Lorraine), who was, according to legend, of Merovingian lineage...
This secret cabal called the Priory of Sion, was reputed to have been
formed by Godfroi of Lorraine to protect the interests of the
bloodline." - 936:63
The Templar Revelation lists among the Merovingian Rex Deus families
who strategized the First Crusade were the "Counts of Champagne, Lords
of Gisors, Lords of Payen, Counts of Fontaine, Counts of Anjou, de
Bouillon, St. Clairs of Roslin, Brienne, Joinville, Chaumont, St Clair
de Gisor, St Clair de Neg and the Hapsburgs..." Godfroi de Bouillon
who became the King of Jerusalem and first Grand Master of the Knights
Templar was a descendant of King Dagobert through Hugues de Plantard.
From these families descended the Saint-Clair (Sinclair) and Plantard
bloodlines, as well as the Hapsburg dynasty which is allied with
Plantard through the House of Lorraine.
"...in the tenth century a certain Hugues de Plantard...a literal
descendant of both Dagobert and Guillem de Gellon—became the father of
Eustache, the first count of Boulogne. Eustache's grandson was Godfroi
de Bouillon, duke of Lorraine and conqueror of Jerusalem. And from
Godfroi there issued a dynasty and a 'royal tradition' that, by virtue
of being founded on 'the rock of Sion,' was equal to those presiding
over France, England, and Germany. If the Merovingians were indeed
descended from Jesus, then Godfroi—scion of the Merovingian blood
royal—had, in his conquest of Jerusalem, regained his rightful
heritage...
"There are at least a dozen families in Britain and Europe today—with
numerous collateral branches—who are of Merovingian lineage. These
include the houses of Hapsburg-Lorraine (present titular dukes of
Lorraine and kings of Jerusalem), PLANTARD, Luxembourg, Montpezat,
Montesquiou, and various others. According to the 'Prieuré documents,'
the SINCLAIR family in Britain is also allied to the bloodline, as are
various branches of the Stuarts..." - 31:396, 409-10
"By dint of dynastic alliances and intermarriages, this line came to
include Godfroi de Bouillon...and various other noble and royal
families, past and present—Blanchefort, Gisors, Saint-Clair—Sinclair
in England...Plantard, and Habsburg-Lorraine." - 922
The first Angevin dynasty was known from the 12th century as the
Plantagenet dynasty through the House of Anjou which produced King
Henry II and subsequent kings:
"Geoffrey Plante Genest, count of Anjou and Maine was the father of
king Henry II of England and, amongst others, Hamelyn (Plantagenet),
Warren earl of Surrey (London). The first evidence for the Pl(a/e)nte
name in England is found in 1219, just after the times of Henry II's
son, the lecherous king John.
"In 1200, king John married Isabella of Angouleme in Aquitaine who
subsequently married Hugh de Lusignan, the most prominent baron of
Aquitaine. In 1247, John (Plantagenet) (de Warenne) married Alice
Lusignan (de Brien) and English resentments of favouritism towards the
`foreign' Lusignans led on to the Baron's revolt in England, leading
to the capture of king Henry III at Lewes (1264), though the king was
freed by John (Plantagenet) (de Warenne) at Evesham (1265)." - 950
"The Plantagenets were themselves a junior branch of the House of
Anjou, whose senior branch was the House of Vere [whose] ancestry was
jointly Pictish and Merovingian descending from the ancient Grail
House of Scythia." - 248:8
"According to the 'Prieuré documents' the lords of Anjou-Plantagenet
family were thus allied to the Merovingian bloodline. And the name of
Plantagenet may even have been intended to echo 'Plant-ard' or
Plantard.'" - 31:302
According to Fritz Springmeier's Top Thirteen Illuminati Bloodlines,
"The original start of the Prieuré de Sion appears to have been the
idea of a number of powerful bloodlines, and included various
descendants of the Merovingians, including the House of Lorraine, the
House of Guise, the Medicis, Sforzas, the Estes, the Gonzagas, and the
St. Clairs (Sinclairs). The Medicis are tied to the Black Nobility.
"From the beginning the Prieuré de Sion has been committed to
Hermetic Magic... René d' Anjou, a descendant of the Merovingians
persuaded Cosimo de Medici to establish in c. 1444 a non-church
library at San Marco where Plato, Pythagorean works, and books on
Hermetic Magic were translated. Up until this time, the Catholic
church had control of all the libraries. It was from Cosimo de
Medici's library that the spark of Greek and Egyptian teachings set
off what developed into the Renaissance, which was a revival of
humanism and the occult. It appears that during the Middle Ages,
witchcraft and the mystery religions had seriously dissolved to the
point that these modes of thought had to be relearned from the ancient
writings. Interestingly, the Middle Ages when witchcraft and paganism
were dissolving have been branded the 'Dark Ages' by the
establishment, and inaccurately painted as a time when learning went
out." - 77:79
The Merovingian families which ruled France, England and Germany
included the Hapsburg-Lorraine dynasty which, in the twentieth
century, played a major role in the formation of the European Union.
"Prominent in the Wars of Religion was the noble French family of de
Guise... [T]hey disputed the legitimacy of the Valois succession, and
claimed their own right to the throne by virtue of descent from the
Emperor Charlemagne through the House of Lorraine." - 29:307
"The Imperial and Royal Dragon Court is the ancient Household
Court and Order of the senior Angevin descendants of the Imperial and
Royal House of Vere of Caledonia, Anjou and Lorraine, and the physical
embodiment of the sovereign Princedom of Drakenberg, which is
recognized under European Law as a sovereign ethnic racial group; the
principal nation states of the Draconian peoples:...
"Furthermore, the royal and ambassadorial nature of the title of
the Prince of Drakenberg (Princeps Draconis) is recognised under the
'Official Observations' of the Department of Internal Affairs of the
Government of its state of origin within the European Union." - 357
PIERRE PLANTARD DE SAINT-CLAIR
There are compelling reasons for our conviction that the Antichrist
will come from the Plantard and Saint-Clair bloodlines. Supporting
evidence for this view will be presented throughout this series, as
well as information leading to discovery of the identity of the False
Prophet, a Merovingian as well.
The Messianic Legacy by Baigent, Lincoln and Leigh, Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Claire joined the Prieuré de Sion on July 10, 1943 and, from
1963 to 1981, shared the position of Grand Master with Gaylord
Freeman, also of an Illuminati bloodline. (232:319;235-6) According
to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Plantard de Saint-Claire was Grand Master
of the Prieuré de Sion from 1981 to 1984.
"A veritable secret society of 121 dignitaries, the Prieuré de Sion,
founded by Godfroi de Bouillon in Jerusalem in 1099, has numbered
among its Grand Masters Leonardo da Vinci, Victor Hugo and Jean
Cocteau. This Order convened its Convent at Blois on 17 January
1981... As a result of this recent Convent at Blois, Pierre Plantard
de Saint-Claire was elected grand master of the Order... This choice
of grand master marks a decisive step in the evolution of the Order's
conception and spirit in relation to the world; for the 121
dignitaries of the Prieuré de Sion are all éminences grises of high
finance and of international political or philosophical societies; and
Pierre Plantard is the direct descendant, through Dagobert II, of the
Merovingian kings. His descent has been proved legally by the
parchments of Queen Blanche of Castile, discovered by the Abbe
Sauniére in the church at Rennes-le-Château (Aude) in 1891. These
documents were sold by the priest's niece in 1965 to Captain Roland
Stanmore and Sir Thomas Frazer, and were deposited in a safe-deposit
box of Lloyds Bank Europe Limited of London." (31:214-15)
It seems that, following World War II, the Prieuré de Sion, and
particularly Pierre Plantard, were intimately involved with the rise
of Charles De Gaulle rise to the presidency of France.(232:318)
According to The Messianic Legacy, "Under the German occupation and
the Vichy regime, secret societies, including freemasonry, had been
strictly banned and membership of any such organisation was subject to
severe penalties." Springmeier states:
"It is hard for people to grasp that the Illuminati controlled Russia,
Great Britain, Germany and France during World War II, but they did.
Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin were all Masons. DeGaulle of France
was closely linked with several esoteric groups, and the Prieuré de
Sion and Grand Orient Masons helped him to power in the 50s... the
people of the world weren't ready for a world government, and most not
even a united Europe. W.W. II was carried out to adjust people's
thinking toward wanting European unity." (77:168)
Front organizations were formed to agitate for change, and the Prieuré
de Sion assisted in the military coup that overthrew the Vichy
government, clearing the way for DeGaulle.
"Modelled on the Committees of Public Safety during the French
Revolution...the Committees [of Public Safety] began to agitate for a
strong guiding hand in France which would be sympathetic to their
cause. Only one person was deemed capable of providing such a
hand—Charles de Gaulle. Thus the Committees of Algeria began to press
insistently for De Gaulle to assume power in France, if necessary by
means of a military coup. They received support from a number of
high-ranking military men, including Marshal Alphonse Juin, who is
alleged to have been an important member of the Prieuré de Sion. They
also received support from a coalescing pro-Gaullist movement in
France...whose leaders included Michel Debre--who became De Gaulle's
Minister of Justice and, shortly after, between 1959 and 1962, Prime
Minister of France. Another important pro-Gaullist figure was Geoges
Bidault... Between 1945 and 1954, Bidault had worked closely with
Robert Schuman...in drawing up plans for the EEC..." (232:330)
After De Gaulle was installed as President, however, he granted
Algeria independence from France, which weakened France as an imperial
power. Therefore, DeGaulle appointed Pierre Plantard secretary of a
national 'Movement' for the defense of liberty to succeed the
Committees. As "minister of propaganda," Plantard proceeded to
dismantle and thereby defuse the Committees of Public Safety which
might turn against DeGaulle. The announcement was published by
Plantard's first wife, Anne Lea Hisler:
"When we first met M. Plantard in 1979, he told us that Charles de
Gaulle had personally requested him to direct the French Committees of
Public Safety and, when their task of installing the General in power
had been completed, to preside over their dissolution. In a
mimeographed pamphlet deposited with the Bibliothèque Nationale in
1964, Anne Lea Hisler—M. Plantard's first wife—states:
"Under the authority of Marshal Alphonse Juin, the seat of the
Secretariat-General of the Committees of Public Safety in metropolitan
France was at Aulnay-sous-Bois [Paris suburb]. This Committee was
directed by Michel Debré, Pierre Plantard known as Way, and André
Malraux...a member of the Prieure de Sion." (232:333,256)
Anne Lea Hisler, Plantard's wife, worked with her husband on the
magazine of the Prieuré de Sion, CIRCUIT, an acronym for "Chivalry of
Catholic Rules and Institutions of the Independent and Traditionalist
Union."
"...the Prieuré de Sion was using its magazine for something other
than its own internal business.
"The 1959 series of Circuit [contained] articles by Anne Lea
Hisler and others, including Pierre Plantard, sometimes writing under
his own name, sometimes under the pseudonym of 'Chyren'." (232:339-40)
The name "Hisler" happens to be an adaptation of "Hitler." The Decatur
Daily reported in 2002, "Fifty-seven years after his death, Hitler's
name still has shock value, which may explain why so many people named
Hitler - both in the United States and abroad - had their names
legally changed during World War II. (I know a man named Hisler whose
family name was spelled with a 't' instead of an 's' 60 years ago.)
(1055)
The prophecies of Nostradamus included "...a number of detailed
prophecies concerning Hitler (whom he calls Hisler), naming him as the
'second antiChrist'."
Was Anne Lea Hisler really Anne Lea Hitler? Is it possible that the
wife of Pierre Plantard de Saint-Claire was related to the infamous
Adolf Hitler?
The Templar Revelation confirms other reports of that Pierre Plantard
de Saint-Claire at least had Nazi sympathies:
"Born in 1920, he first came to public notice in the Occupied France
of 1942 as the editor of a journal called Vaincre pour une Jeune
cehvalerie (Conquest for a Young Knighthood)—which was markedly
uncritical of the Nazi oppressors, and which was actually published
with their approval. This was officially the organ of the Order Alpha
Galates, a quasi-Masonic and chivalric society, based in Paris, of
which Plantard became the Grand Master at the age of just
twenty-two...Vaincre is now [1998] the title of the Priory's internal
bulletin, which Pierre de Saint-Clair edits with his son Thomas."
(242:43)
THOMAS PLANTARD DE SAINT-CLAIR
The Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion since 1989 has been Thomas
Plantard de Saint-Clair. According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Thomas
is the son of the former Grand Master, the late Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Clair. The following announcement of Thomas' election as Grand
Master was published in the internal bulletin of the Prieuré de Sion
in 1989, and only recently posted on the Internet.
Vaincre No. 3, September 1989, page 1
Managing Editor: Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair

THOMAS PLANTARD de Saint-Clair
becomes Grandmaster of the PRIORY OF SION
By virtue of Article XIV OF THE CONSTITUTIONS OF THE PRIORY OF SION:
"their titles shall fall as of right to one of their children to be
designated by them without consideration of sex."
By virtue of article XVI "the various duties and titles of Grandmaster
of the Priory of Sion shall be transmissible to their successor
according to the same prerogatives."
By act dated 6 JULY 1989, Pierre PLANTARD de SAINT-CLAIR, the present
Grandmaster, informed the 121 Masters that, in view of the favourable
response of 107 votes in favour, 5 abstentions and 9 votes against
accepting the proposed succession of title and prerogative,
ratification had been made on 6 AUGUST 1989 in PARIS, at 10 o'clock
solar time, and that THOMAS PLANTARD de Saint-Clair had been
proclaimed Grandmaster. Information has been sent to all members of
the ORDER. - 836:1
Merovingian sources collectively point to the Plantards and
Saint-Clairs as the bloodlines that will produce the Grail King, the
divine ruler, at once god and king, who will bring mankind into a
utopian age of peace and prosperity. One piece of evidence for this
choice is found in a recent best-seller, The Da Vinci Code: "Only two
direct lines of Merovingians remain. Their family names are Plantard
and Saint-Clair. Both families live in hiding, probably protected by
the Priory." - 935:260
According to Marjorie Reeves' Joachim of Fiore and the Prophetic
Future, a second Charlemagne will arise whose surname begins with 'P'.
"It was a Burgundian World Emperor that [Johann] Lichtenberger
expected to arise as a Second Charlemagne. His hint as to who this
will be is quite plain: 'And it is said in the book of the kings of
the Franks that from the stock of King Charles of France [Charlemagne]
will arise in the last days an Emperor, 'nomine P.', who will be the
monarch of all Europe and reform Church and clergy. After him there
shall be no ruler.'" - 823:110-111
E. W. Bullinger wrote in The Witness of the Stars, after which recent
pseudo-Christian books have been patterned: "The day has here come to
fulfill the prophecies concerning Him who is 'the Branch,' 'the Branch
of Jehovah,' 'the man whose name is the Branch.'"- 939
The Prieuré de Sion was formed and has been directed by individuals
related to the Saint-Clair bloodline. In Great Britain, the surname of
this so-called sacred lineage is Sinclair. According to at least two
Masonic sources, the Saint-Clairs are Grand Masters of Freemasonry by
right of birth and they have historically controlled the Prieuré de
Sion.
"Through marriage the family of Marie Levis St. Clair was connected to
the de Gisors, the family from which the first and third grand masters
of the Prieuré de Sion came. Without question, Prieuré de Sion was
created and run by individuals related to the St. Clairs. The third
grand master was in charge in the year that the Templars were ordered
arrested and the treasure fleet set sail for Scotland to escape the
agents of the French king. Did one St. Clair (from France) correspond
with another Sinclair (from Scotland) for this express purpose? Most
likely the answer is yes." (Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar) -
281:178
"Their domain [the Sinclair family—Scottish branch of the Norman
Saint-Clair Gisors family] at Rosslyn was only a few miles from the
former Scottish headquarters of the Knights Templar, and the chapel at
Rosslyn—built between 1446 and 1486—has long been associated with both
Freemasonry and the Rose-Croix. In a charter believed to date from
1601, moreover, the Sinclairs are recognized as 'hereditary' grand
masters of Scottish Masonry.' This is the earliest specifically
Masonic document on record. According to Masonic sources, however, the
hereditary grand mastership was conferred on the Sinclairs by James
II, who ruled between 1437 and 1460—the age of René d'Anjou." (Holy
Blood, Holy Grail) - 31:183
In addition to conditioning the masses to believe their New Age
propaganda, another objective of best-selling New Age books such as
Holy Blood, Holy Grail is to covertly communicate secret information
from the Prieuré de Sion to a specific audience—the global network of
secret societies and New Age cults, all of which eagerly await the end
of the Age of Pisces and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. At that
point in time, the much despised Church Age will come to a close and
Lucifer, in the person of the Antichrist, will reign over a Golden
Age, having destroyed the Harlot Church which no longer serves his
purposes.
In Holy Blood, Holy Grail, there is a childhood photo of Thomas
Plantard de Saint-Clair seated on the lap of Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Clair.
This peculiar photograph of Thomas Plantard, seated on the lap of
Pierre, is conveying an esoteric message to the occultist. Please take
note of the pose, Thomas sitting on the lap of Pierre. Below are some
photographs of famous Black Virgins, also called Black Madonnas. Note
the striking similarity of the poses of Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair
with Thomas and the Black Virgins with their sons who were child gods.
Notice also the masculine appearance of the 'Madonnas' and the
placement of their sons between their legs:
Notre-Dame de Marsat
Marsat Puy-de-Dôme, France
"Our ancient, battered, much-loved, little-understood Black Virgins
are a still-living archetypal image that lies at the heart of our
civilization and has a message for us.... The light of nature tells us
that life is a pilgrimage, a journey to the stars along the Milky Way,
her hero-path, a voyage across the great water in which she is the
ship, rudder, and guiding star.
"There is clearly no return to the twelfth century, the third
century or the third millennium BC. Inanna, Sophia, the Holy Grail and
the Church of Amor [Catharism] are no longer available as living
realities for us today. There are signs that the goddess now requires
to be worshipped in spirit and in truth through the law written in our
hearts, rather than in temples built with hands. One old truth is that
man and woman, though different, are equal parts of a consciously
androgynous whole that is each person's potential reality. Many
people, shown photographs of the Black Virgin for the first time,
comment on how masculine some of them look." (Ean Begg, The Cult of
the Black Virgin) - 272:13,134

Brought back from Crusades by St. Louis
Notre Dame de Meymac, also known as the Black Madonna of Meymac is
believed to have been carved sometime during the 11th century. The
Black Virgin has very large hands and a red cloak; and has been called
one of the strangest and most interesting Black Madonnas to date. The
Child is dressed in red with bare feet, and sits between the Madonna's
knees, holding a closed book in his left hand.
This Black Virgin was once part of the 11th century treasure of
Benedictine priory of Saint Andrew, originally a hermitage in and
during the Merovingian Dynasty...
This is one of the Madonnas of the Fisher Kings, the Merovingian line
of Mystic Kings, keepers of the Grail Bloodline.
Black Madonnas are believed to be pre-Christian archetypes whose
child-nurturing focus is the embodiment of the pre-historic Great
Mother.
A very powerful and important Madonna, She regally sits an
impressive 8.5 inches tall. This gothic style icon is found in the
French village of Correze.- 925

"Whoever the enigmatic Black Virgin may be, she holds a powerful
attraction for her millions of devotees around the world. Her sacred
sites stand on highly charged earth energy centers, enhanced by
megalithic ley-lines and sacred architecture.
"From ancient times to present, people have undertaken pilgrimages
to her shrines as a way to explore her mysteries and to enable her to
do her miraculous work of healing, transformation and inspiration.
France has more than 300 Black Virgin sites, with over 150 Black
Virgins still in existence."
Notre-Dame de Montserrat
La Moreneta * Montserrat Katalonien, Spain
"Beyond general style, the genre of the statue is certainly that of an
'enthroned virgin', typical of the earliest icons of Mary. On behalf
of Madonna and Child representations, Stephen Benko notes: It is well
known that the iconography of Isis and [her son] Horus was basically
adopted by Christians when they started to portray Mary and Jesus as
Mother and Child.' Benko adds that Isis was sometimes 'pictured as
black'... the Montserrat figures [and] over 1,000 of the world's
better known Madonnas are black...
"...Montserrat is located in Spain, not in France where St. Bernard of
Clairvaux (the nephew of one of the original nine Knight Templars) and
others produced well-known commentaries on the Canticles. Perhaps the
image was created black to represent some esoteric religious
symbolism. Ean Begg notes that the Shrine of Montserrat is among the
best candidates for former sanctuaries for the Holy Grail. Further, in
the twelfth and thirteenth centuries esoteric Christian sects
proliferated, though not primarily in Spain." - 925
Will Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair be revealed as the reincarnation
of Horus, i.e. Nimrod, who will at last unite the world under Lucifer?
Recall that the myth of Horus is a distortion of the Genesis account
of God's judgment on the Tower of Babel. Not happy with this
arrangement, New Agers anticipate the return of Horus as the
reincarnation of Nimrod who will finally unite mankind in a glorious
revolution which dethrones God. (Gen. 10 and 11)
"Like the goddess Isis, who found and restored all of the lost pieces
of her husband, Osiris, many are restoring the unity of all life,
bringing together the separate parts of humanity—different races,
religions and cultures." - 42:62

"I AM Nature... The universal Mother, Mistress of all the elements,
primordial child of time, sovereign of all things spiritual, Queen of
the dead, Queen also of the immortals, the single manifestation of all
gods and goddesses that are. The primeval Phrygians call me
Pessinuntica, or Cybele, Mother of the gods; the Althenians, sprung
from their own soil, call me Cecropian Artemis; for the islanders of
Cypress I AM Paphian Aphrodite; for the archers of Crete I AM
Dictynna, for the trilingual Sicilians, Stygian Persephone, and for
the Elusinians, their Ancient Mother of the Corn, Demeter.
"Some know me as Juno, some as Bellona of the Battles; others as
Hecate, others again as Rhamnusia, Nemesis, But both races of
Aethiopians, whose land the morning Sun first shines upon, and the
Egyptians who excel in ancient learning and worship me with ceremonies
proper to my god-head call me by my true Name, namely, Queen Isis." -
925
Isis is an onomatopoeic Asianic word, Ish-ish, meaning 'she who
weeps'. Ezekiel 8 can be understood as a reference to Israel's
participation in the Babylonian worship of Tammuz, the reborn Nimrod
who, like Nimrod and Osiris, suffered an untimely death.
"Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which
was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for
Tammuz." - Ezek. 8:14
"Unfortunately, the youthful Tammuz (also known as Adonis, meaning
'lord,' in classical mythology) met an untimely death at the tusk of a
wild boar. Here legend overtakes history altogether. Some accounts say
that after three days Tammuz miraculously resurrected himself; others
say that the grief-stricken Ishtar journeyed far into the netherworld
to find him. After many days she succeeded, but during her absence the
passion of love ceased to operate and all of life on earth languished
in mourning. By all accounts, when the lamenting was over, Tammuz was
firmly ensconced as the new god of the sun, and his renown eventually
exceeded even Nimrod's.
"Every year following Tammuz' tragic death and presumed ascension
to the sun, the forty days preceding Ishtar's festival were set aside
for fasting and self-affliction to commemorate his suffering and
death. (It was this practice, 'weeping for Tammuz,' that God called an
abomination in Ezekiel 8:13, 14.) At the end of this period of
mourning the people would waken early on the first day of the week and
travel to the highest hills near their homes. There they would present
their offerings of wine, meat, and incense and prostrate themselves
before the rising sun, exclaiming 'Our lord is risen!' Then would
commence the festivities of Ishtar, queen of heaven and goddess of
fertility. In preparation for this high celebration, the people would
make small cakes, inscribing them with a cross (a pagan fertility
symbol), for baking in the sun and eating as part of their ritual. The
day would conclude in orgiastic revelry of a most debasing sort, and
often included human sacrifices." (1002)
Isis is the Greek form of more ancient Egyptian names; originally,
Isis was known as Aset, or Eset which, in Egyptian, means 'Throne or
Seat'. Black Virgins are traditionally seated on thrones in a manner
similar to icons of the Egyptian Isis. Isis is typically represented
as a woman wearing on her head the hieroglyphic symbol of her
[Egyptian] name, which represents a throne or seat. Her original
headdress was an empty throne chair belonging to her murdered husband,
Osiris.
"Among the Egyptians, Isis is often represented with a headdress
consisting of the empty throne chair of her murdered husband, and this
peculiar structure was accepted during certain dynasties as her
hieroglyphic." - Manly P. Hall, Masonic, Hermetic, Quabbalistic &
Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy
Isis represents the dynastic seat of authority whose offspring are
destined by their birthright to rule as kings. ISIS is THE THRONE.
Throne of Isis
Definition: The headdress of the Egyptian goddess Isis. Isis is the
Greek derivative of the Egyptian name Aset, (or Auset), meaning throne
or seat of authority. Isis was the embodiment of authority, and divine
right to rule was by her authority. Osiris reborn is often depicted as
an infant on the lap of Isis, where she is the literal personification
of a throne. - 918
"As a later identity of Isis with Horus, she shows how papal and
kingly thrones all hark back to the lap of Isis upon which sits
enthroned the child-god. Each gave birth to savior gods who would die
and be reborn in annual cycles (a parallel to the Demeter/Kore myth),
and our modern festivals of Christmas and Easter re-celebrate this
primeval human rite. Depicted as black virgin, this Madonna
incorporates aspects of Kali. Medieval cathedrals (called in France
'Notre Dame'—literally, 'Our Lady') are venerations of the ancient
Great Goddess' majesty." - 928
"Isis was the embodiment of authority, and divine right to rule was by
her authority... papal and kingly thrones all hark back to the lap of
Isis." The divine right of kings would explain the longevity of the
cult of Isis and her esteem among royalty who believe themselves to be
descendants of a divinity. Lewis Spence wrote in Ancient Egyptian
Myths and Legends that the cult of Isis has survived from the dynastic
period of Egypt through the Classical period and Holy Roman Empire and
is, today, principally carried on in Paris, the location of the
Prieuré de Sion.
"Isis, or Ast, must be regarded as one of the earliest and most
important conceptions of female godhead in ancient Egypt. In the
dynastic period she was regarded as the feminine counterpart of
Osiris, and we may take it that before the dawn of Egyptian history
she occupied a similar position... No other deity has probably been
worshipped for such an extent of time, for her cult did not perish
with that of most other Egyptian gods, but flourished later in Greece
and Rome, and is seriously carried on in Paris to-day." (995)
Peter Dawkins wrote in The Great Vision that, in Cabalistic mysticism,
the Throne (Isis) also represents the Temple in which the union of the
Virgin Soul (the initiate) to the Spirit (Lucifer) takes place. This
union, which is achieved only by the highest adepts and masters,
produces the Christ Child who is the 'living embodiment of Light',
which Dawkins states is the meaning of Horus. In other words, Horus is
the incarnation of the 'Spirit' Lucifer.
"The Enthroned Lady or Heavenly Queen is the ancient title of
Isis, the virgin mother of Horus, as also of Mary, the virgin mother
of Jesus. The hieroglyphic symbol of Isis used by the Ancient
Egyptians was that of a throne—Isis being the actual throne or seat
upon which the child Horus sits as King of Light (the Sun King). The
same symbol is employed in Christian iconography, and Mary is
pourtrayed as the 'throne' or 'seat', with the Christ Child seated in
her lap, his head aligned with her heart. It is a carefully
constructed and important symbol, revealing many mysteries.
"In the Hebraic cabbala, the Throne is described as the Merkabah
or Throne of Glory—the perfect dwelling place of the Lord. It is the
supreme and pure Tabernacle or Temple in which the Messianic Presence
of the Lord God may dwell and be manifest. That is to say, it is the
perfect form of divine manifestation, the virgin Soul, Bride to the
Spirit. The sublime union of the receptive, responsive Bride with the
active, creative Spirit produces (i.e. gives birth to) the Messiah as
the Christ Child, the living embodiment of Light (which is what the
word Jesus or Horus means). In biblical terms it means that the
'living soul', Adam, becomes a 'life-giving Spirit', Christ: the
former being a receptacle of life, the latter being a creator of life,
in the same symbolic sense that a moon may become a sun, or a
light-receiving vessel may transform itself into a light-producing
star. Out of the cosmic form of Nature are born the shining Sons of
Light. (902:70)
In preparation for the occult New Age of the Spirit, the high level
initiates who have infiltrated the Laodicean Church will attempt to
palm off Lucifer as the Holy Spirit, in accordance with the Manichean
tradition that the Holy Spirit is the transformed Lucifer. Eventually,
the Virgin-Bride (Isis) is 'married' to the Christ Child (Horus), who
is the incarnation of her husband/brother, Osiris, aka Lucifer, the
Spirit with whom she united:
"The Temple, synonymous with the Throne, was also used as a
hieroglyph for Isis, the Virgin Mother or Soul. When the Temple is so
filled with the Presence of God that it is set on fire with divine
love and light (which a perfect Temple will be), then it becomes, or
is, a pyre of flame—a 'Pyramid'. And in becoming a pyre of light, it
moves, it becomes active. The Throne becomes a Chariot. The motionless
Temple becomes a living Flame.
"Just as a flame enables light to be manifested as a blazing orb
or sun of radiant light, so the perfect Soul enables the Spirit to
become fully manifest as the Christ Child. Just as the central orb of
light sits enthroned in the midst of the flame, shining its radiance
or glory all around, so the Christ Child sits as a King of Glory upon
His Throne: Horus sits upon Isis; Jesus sits upon Mary; the Christ
Consciousness sits upon man's soul. Then, just as the flame becomes
identified with the light, swallowed up by its glory, so the Mother
becomes identified with her Child, 'assumed' and 'married', as it were
to her Son... In Christian symbology, Jesus seated upon the lap of his
Mother, or Jesus enthroned in the centre of the Vesica Piscis (the
'flame-vessel of the Fish'), mean the same. It is the revelation of
the Supreme Mystery or Gnosis; the revelation of Christ, the Son or
Light of God; the revelation of the Divine Idea or Divine
Consciousness, which is Truth.
"The Christ Child is the Sun-King, and his Throne or Mother is the
Kingdom of Heaven, the Empire of Peace and Plenty that is bathed in
the golden glory of Christ Consciousness. It is, or can be, both
individual and universal, Jerusalem (meaning 'the Great Peace') is
another name for the Kingdom. Old Jerusalem is the Mother—the psyche;
New Jerusalem is the Mother with Child—the 'heavenly' or beautiful
Soul that has attained Christ Consciousness." (902:70)
According to a Masonic source, The Hiram Key, there was a prophecy
given by a Teacher of Righteousness to the Gnostic Essene Community of
Qumran, which was associated with the Society of Ormus, that two
messianic figures of the end time would have the following titles:
"...The man who would lead them at the 'End of the Age', the Davidic
Messiah, had such titles as 'Mighty Man', 'Man of Glory', 'Prince of
Light'... God, however, will save his people by the hands of two
messianic figures who arise at the end of time; one from 'Branch of
David', and the other 'The Interpreter of the Law'." - 162:201
The symbology of the light and the glory applies to Thomas Plantard de
Saint-Clair on several levels. Firstly, Saint-Clair is French for holy
light:
"The name Saint-Clair is derived from the Latin Sanctus Clarus,
meaning 'Holy Light'." - 29:297
The word 'clairvoyant' is derived from Latin words meaning to see the
light, not merely in the sense of a realization, but in the mystical
sense of actually seeing living entities (light beings) in the
spiritual realm.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Main Entry: clair·voy·ant
Etymology: French, from clair clear (from Latin clarus) + voyant,
present participle of voir to see, from Latin vidEre
"Clairvoyance. The faulty of seeing with the inner eye or spiritual
sight... Real clairvoyance means the faculty of seeing through the
densest matter (the latter disappearing at the will and before the
spiritual eye of the Seer), and irrespective of time (past, present
and future) or distance." - 316:85
The surname Saint-Clair esoterically denotes a bloodline of high level
initiates who have experienced union with Lucifer. The designation of
young Thomas as the Horus-King means that he is the living embodiment
of the Light, i.e., Lucifer. In the mystery religion of ancient Egypt,
Horus was the offspring of Isis and Osiris who were fraternal twins
before they became husband and wife. This arrangement, of course, was
incest—a practice not uncommon among the ancient gods and goddesses.
Set and Nephthys were brother and sister as were King Arthur and
Morgaine, who are regarded by the Merovingians as divine descendants
of Jesus Christ, and the offspring of the latter unholy union, Modred,
was believed to be the 'Celtic Christ'. Laurence Gardner rationalizes
that King Arthur's sexual union with his sister was not really
incestuous, but rather a rebirth of the ancient archetypal androgynous
Godhead:
"Writers have sometimes deemed Arthur's sexual relationship with his
half-sister Morgaine to be incestuous—but this is not the way it was
regarded in Celtic Britain. At that time, the anciently perceived dual
nature of God prevailed, as did the equally ancient principle of the
'sacred sister-bride—so revered in the holy ritual of Mesopotamia. In
this regard, the Prayer of the Celts began, 'Our Father-Mother in the
heavens'. In conjunction with this, specifically defined rites were
performed to denote the mortal incarnation of the 'dual male-female
entity'. As the earthly manifestation of the goddess
Cerridwin,...Morgaine represented the female aspect of the duality.
Arthur was her true male counterpart in the established royal
tradition of the Pharaohs. On the festival of Beltane (the spring
equinox), Arthur was apprehended as a god in human form and obliged to
participate in a ritual of sacred intercourse between the twin aspects
of the incarnate Father-Mother. In view of Arthur and Morgaine's
supposed divinity during this rite, any male offspring from the union
would be deemed the 'Celtic Christ', and would be duly anointed as
such. By virtue of this, although Arthur was destined to become the
prominent subject of romantic history, it was his son Modred who held
the highest spiritual position: he was designated Christ of Britain;
the ordained Archpriest of the Sacred Kindred, and an anointed Fisher
King.... Contrary to all myth and legend, it was the dying Archpriest
Modred (not Arthur) who was carried from the field by his mother
Morgaine's Holy Sisters." - 29:205-6
The occult traditions glorify incest for other reasons that defy
logic, but then occultists typically glorify the irrational or
subjective over logical and objective ways of thinking. Cathy Burns
explains in her book, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, another
reason for the exaltation of incest.
"Occultist and psychologist Carl Jung, adds: 'Alchemy...exalted the
most heinous transgression of the law, namely incest, into a symbol of
the union of opposites, hoping in this way to bring back the golden
age." - 39:177
In other words, when mankind reaches the nadir of its depravity, the
divine spark within each man will generate an opposing impulse toward
transformation and the Golden Age will begin—this Utopia of peace and
prosperity into which the Grail King will lead mankind. Based on this
esoteric concept, which is discussed further in Libra, the Antichrist
must exemplify the reprobate condition to which mankind must stoop in
order for the transformation to begin. Utter madness! says the
rational man. However, sensible persons may be assured that behind the
irrational belief system of the occult is the archenemy of mankind,
Lucifer, scheming to provoke God's wrath on the human race.
Returning to the concept of twins, the meaning of 'Thomas' happens to
be twin:
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Main Entry: Thom·as
Pronunciation: 'tä-m&s
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek ThOmas, from Hebrew t'Om twin
At this point, we ask the reader to carefully compare the pictures
below. On the left is a photograph of the parents of William Cooper
which appears in the Foreword of his book, Behold a Pale Horse. The
picture is undated, but William Cooper, who was their firstborn,
arrived into this world in 1943. On the right the previous picture of
Pierre and Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair, which was taken in 1979.
Are these photographs younger and older versions of the SAME MAN???
Thomas is said to be 10 years old in the 1979 photo, although he looks
younger. Pierre Plantard, born in 1920, would have been 59, old enough
to be Thomas's grandfather. Thomas would seem to be the grandson, not
the son, of the deceased Éminence grise. If this is the case, then who
was Thomas' father? William Cooper was the eldest of three children,
his sister and brother being fraternal twins named Connie and Ronnie.
Their pictures along with William's and some revealing family
information are presented in the Foreword to Cooper's book.
In our opinion, Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair bears a remarkable
resemblance to William Cooper's sister, Connie, who is two years
younger than her elder brother. Connie would now be 59 and Thomas
would be around 33 years of age. As outrageous as this hypothesis may
seem, if William Cooper's father is not Milton Cooper but Pierre
Plantard de Saint-Clair, it is within the realm of possibility that
Thomas is the son of Connie, and not Pierre. Curiously, according to
Cooper, Connie's husband is also named Ron, the name of her twin
brother. Another coincidence, King Arthur's biographer, Geoffrey of
Monmouth, wrote of this former Grail King, who was the son of Uther
Pendragon, that Arthur defeated his enemies with a lance named 'Ron'.
“Arthur himself,” as Geoffrey of Monmouth relates, “dressed in a
breastplate worthy of so great a king, places on his head a golden
helmet engraved with the semblance of a dragon. Over his shoulders he
throws his shield called Priwen, on which a picture of the Holy Virgin
constantly recalled her to his memory. Girt with Caliburn, a most
excellent sword, and fabricated in the isle of Avalon, he graces his
right hand with the lance named Ron. This was a long and broad spear,
well contrived for slaughter.”
We venture to state further that if Thomas Plantard de Saint-Claire,
the Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion is, esoterically speaking, the
reincarnation of Horus, his mother would represent Isis, whose twin
brother was also her husband.
According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Pierre Plantard spent time in a
Nazis prison.
"Let us remember that during the Occupation, he was arrested, suffered
torture by the Gestapo and was interned as a political prisoner for
long months... He was imprisoned by the Gestapo for more than a year,
from October 1943 until the end of 1944." (31:221-2)
Whether Plantard was a prisoner or a willing participant in Nazi
genetic experimentation is the question. During the Holocaust, Josef
Mengele, Hitler's Angel of Death, conducted countless experiments on
sets of Jewish twins. From the book, Children of the Flames: Doctor
Josef Mengele and the Untold Story of the Twins of the Holocaust, we
found this disturbing account:
"Josef Mengele, aka Auschwitz's 'Angel of Death,' held a fascination
with twins. As Auschwitz's senior 'physician' he conducted 'genetic
experiments' on nearly 1500 sets of twins between 1943 and 1944...
"Of the 3000 twins who passed through Mengele's labs, only 200
survived the war. Depending on the type of experiment endured by the
twins, they were driven to various labs at Auschwitz or neighboring
Birkenau camp. Most received routine blood and x-ray tests, often on a
daily basis... Mengele's experiments were both physical and
psychological; experimental surgeries performed without anesthesia,
transfusions of blood from one twin to another, isolation endurance,
reaction to various stimuli, injections with lethal germs, sex change
operations, the removal of organs and limbs, incestuous
impregnations... Mengele injected chemicals into the eyes of children
in an attempt to change their eye color...
"Unfortunately a strict veil of secrecy over the experiments enabled
Mengele to do his work more effectively, and 'twins who were subjected
to the most grusome procedures took his secrets to their graves.' The
full extent of his grusome work will never be known because the
records he sent to Dr. Von Verschuer at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
were shipped out 'in two truckloads' and destroyed by the latter. Any
remaining notes Mengele carried with him on his escape to South
America and those were never found...
"Mengele...also attempted to change the sex of some twins. Female
twins were sterilized; males were castrated. What was the point of
these ghoulish experiments? No one, either the child-victims, nor the
adult witnesses, ever really knew." - 381:70
Note that Dr. Mengele's experiments were conducted for genetics
purposes and occurred between 1943 and 1944, the exact years Pierre
Plantard de Saint-Clair was incarcerated by the Nazis. Might Pierre
Plantard have been involved in some capacity in Mengele's experiments
on twins? Was M. Plantard/Milton Cooper and/or his wife genetically
manipulated to conceive twins? Or were Connie and Ronnie, born in
1945, the products of in vitro fertilization, carefully controlled to
produce twins? Or...was genetic manipulation performed to restructure
the twins' DNA so they would produce an androgyne in the future, which
we believe Thomas may be. Who knows what genetic engineering was
possible in 1943-4 or what was accomplished in the Nazi eugenics
institutes. The possibilities are legion.
The following allegation comes from a website debunking Pierre
Plantard and the Prieuré de Sion, which is one method of damage
control when the truth somehow gets exposed. One thing seems certain.
Sexual perversion is not uncommon in the Merovingian dynasty.
“...in 1957, possibly...Plantard had been arrested and tried for
pedophilia or kidnapping of a child. This charge was made later by the
supposedly Jewish ex-member of the Priory of Sion, Jean-Luc Chaumeil,
whose rather incoherent letters to Paul Smith are now carried on
Smith’s website at http://smithpp0.tripod.com/psp/id98.html. Henry
Lincoln chose to disregard this charge as a 'vicious libel.'... But
even if it is true that Plantard was at one time arrested and tried
for some sort of sexual deviance regarding children (assuming that
this is not just a smear), this does not affect Plantard’s (or the
story’s) insistence that he was of Merovingian descent. In fact, it
ironically makes that pedigree more likely, since the inbreeding of
aristocrats has long been suspected as a cause of degeneracy among
them. A sexually perverse Plantard is, ironically, a more credible
Merovingian!...” - 1085
THE SACRED MARRIAGE
Mark Twain wrote, "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because
Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." In the
irrational world of the occult, the realities are indeed more bizarre
than fiction. The driving force behind the pornography industry is the
vast network of secret societies who conduct their lucrative
operations legally through tax-funded intelligence organizations.
Masterminded and directed by Lucifer, these clandestine organizations
sponsored the sexual revolution which, bankrolled by the CIA's drug
running syndicate, was designed to destroy moral standards and family
values, foster anarchy and eventually to eliminate distinctions of
gender, as well as good and evil. To comprehend this collective flight
from reason, we must project ourselves into the subjective mindset of
the occult underground, where right and wrong are what the Luciferian
adepts pronounce them to be, where virginity has nothing at all to do
with sexual purity, which in fact it rejects, and to comprehend, if at
all possible, to what lengths the demonized race of Merovingians,
having delusions of divinity, will go to produce a human vessel worthy
of incarnation by their androgynous god, Lucifer. Truth — Veritas — is
indeed stranger than Fiction.
Thomas Plantard de Saint-Claire would have been born circa 1969-71,
when Connie and Ronnie were in their mid-twenties. Found in a
biography of Pierre Plantard is evidence that Thomas may also be a
twin, as his name indicates. The following is an English translation
of Pierre Plantard's bio from the French; the brackets show the French
wording for purposes of clarity.
1981
Election of Pierre [Plantard Grand] Master of the Priory of Sion.
February 1
An article is published in [l'Est républicain] introducing Thomas and
Irmine [PLANTARD] like "the two young descendants of Clovis..." - 932
Thomas sister, Irmine, is almost certainly named after St. Irmine (c.
726), the Abbess d'Oeren who was the daughter of Dagobert II, the last
Merovingian king, and half-sister of Sigisbert IV (676-758), who fled
to Rennes le Chateau. We are told that, on 17 January, Sigebert IV,
known as the 'Plant-Ard', escaped assassination and took refuge in his
mother's home at Rennes-le-Chateau in Razès. This event was recorded
by 'St. Irmine' in a parchment that was placed in a vessel containing
the head of Dagobert, which was later discovered by Abbé Bérenger
Saunière, the central character of Holy Blood, Holy Grail. The
following is a translation of an extract from a special issue of
"Studies of the Merovingians" devoted to Dagobert II:
"The ciborium would have contained, a parchment written by Sainte
IRMINE, abbess d'OEREN, in 708. (Let us point out qu'lRMINE was the
girl of DAGOBERT II). She recalls l'assassinat of her father DAGOBERT
II, the stay of her half-brother SIGEBERT IV with the monastery
d'OEREN, then her refuge, January 17 681 with RHEDAE, capital of the
RAZÈS (country d'origine of GISELE, second wife of DAGOBERT). The
RAZÈS belonged to Marquisat of GOTHIE, in our current South-west..."
(996)
Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair was elected to the Prieuré de Sion on
17 January 1981. The Prieuré always convenes for selection of Grand
Masters on 17 January, the month of the god Janus, who is symbolized
with two heads representing twins. 'Janus' may be etymologically
related to 'John/Jean', the esoteric name of all Grand Masters of the
Prieuré. Fifteen days after his election as Grand Master of the
Prieuré de Sion, on the feast of Imbolc, Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Clair introduced Thomas and Irmine Plantard as being "like the
two young descendants of Clovis." (For the record, Clovis I is the
legendary King Arthur) Are Thomas and Irmine twins, as the name Thomas
suggests? Richard H. Allen wrote, in Star Names: Their Lore and
Meaning, that as the zodiac spread from Babylonia to Greece and Egypt,
its symbolism changed. The Hindus knew the Gemini Twins, Castor and
Pollux, as the Twin Deities or Dioscouri; in Egypt they became 'Two
Sprouting Plants' pictured as twins who symbolized the sun and moon.
"Some of the Jews ascribed [the Gemini Twins] to the tribe of
Benjamin,... The Egyptians as Two Sprouting Plants; and Brown
reproduces a Euphratean representation of a couple of small, naked,
male child-figures, one standing upon its head and the other standing
upon the former, feet to feet; the original twins being the sun and
moon, when the one is up the other is generally down." (927:223-4)
The feast of Lupercalia, the Roman counterpart to Imbolc—the day on
which Thomas and Irmine Plantard de Saint-Claire made their debut in
the French press—was celebrated in honor of Romulus and Remus—the twin
gods who founded Rome.
"Midwinter (early February) was the time of many ancient Pagan
festivals, which have continued under Christian guises. The wild
Lupercalia of ancient Rome was replaced by the austere Festival of the
Purification of the Virgin, or Candlemas.... The Celtic Imbolc, or
Brigid, is a time for purification and new beginnings... Imbolc
anticipates spring, although the vernal equinox is seven weeks away.
The word Imbolc refers to the pregnant condition of ewes at Midwinter.
Their fertility was a good sign to the ancient Celts who depended on
sheep for food and clothing... South and east of the British Isles
ancient Romans celebrated the Lupercalia in honor of Lupa, the
she-wolf who nursed Romulus and Remus who were considered Rome's
founding twins. Orgiastic rites were performed to honor her in the
Grotto of the She-Wolf to insure fertility in the coming year. After
these rites, naked youth traveled to neighboring towns to purify them
according to Barbara Walker in The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and
Secrets." - 933
The gods and goddesses of ancient and classical mythology were often
twins as were the kings and queens they supposedly incarnated.
"Often, the androgyne appeared in myth as male-female twins born
simultaneously, e.g. Isis-Osiris, Jana-Janus, Diana-Dianus,
Fauna-Faunus, Helen-Helenus or Artemis-Apollo, the 'moon and sun'
united in their Mother’s womb." (934)
"The twins or brother gods in Sumeria [were] called Enki and Enlil.
Enki, the infernal of the two, represents Set and Enlil represents
Horus (although in this context Enlil would also be Osiris.)" (571)
The sacred marriage ritual required sexual union between male and
female siblings; fraternal twins of a divine bloodline were the
preferred stock. In esoteric astrology, the Gemini Twins represented
'sacred marriage' between fraternal twins. Sacred marriage in the
original Tarot card deck refers to incest between siblings, especially
twins, as typified by the astrological sign of Gemini.
"Astrologically, The Lovers is principally related to Venus, the
goddess of air, and Gemini which, in esoteric astrology, she rules.
Importantly, Gemini is also the first sign of relationship in the
zodiac; the relationship between siblings...
"The Lovers follows a series of five very important, very powerful
[Tarot] cards, three of which are masculine and two feminine. When it
appears in a reading therefore, The Lovers can signal some sort of
synthesis between the different aspects of make and female that each
of the previous cards represents. It signifies a sense of challenge,
newness, opposition and heightened awareness; and an integration
between the powerful forces that have been unleashed and experienced
(sometimes unconsciously) to this point...
"The sense of duality inherent in The Lovers is strengthened
through its association with Gemini, the sign of The Twins....
According to the myth of Castor and Pollux, the story behind the
constellation of Gemini, when the mortal Castor died, his immortal
twin brother Pollux begged his father to let him join Castor in the
Underworld. His father Zeus agreed, on the proviso that they spent
half their time in the Underworld and half in the heavens.
"...Gemini draws our attention to the importance of sibling
relationships, and to their powerful impact on the patterning of all
our relationships with friends and lovers. The two lovers in the
Waite-Smith deck represent...an arrangement of the brother-sister
pair; one aspect of which is the 'sacred marriage', the marriage
between brother and sister. The 'sacred marriage' of The Lovers really
represents a relationship of equality between two individuals, a type
of relationship that is largely absent from the Major Arcana." (851)
The purpose of the sacred marriage is to produce the 'divine
androgen', i.e., 'The Christ'. A set of twins not being a true
androgen—the Gnostic ideal—the twins must somehow become one. If the
twins can be fused, according to the highly irrational thinking of
occultists, androgyny will be achieved. This is accomplished through
the 'sacred marriage' ritual. The rationale behind this ludicrous
concept is that integration of the sexes will lead humanity back to
the chaos of Genesis 1:2, the undifferentiated unity that existed
before Creation. (The false hope of the occultist lies in recreating
aeons of the past, rather than pressing on to the high calling in
Christ Jesus, which the blessed hope of the Christian.) That the
fusion of male and female twins to form an androgyne is a foundational
principle of the secret doctrine is stated in reputable sources such
as the Encyclopedia of Religion:
"...androgynes may be regarded as 'good,' in the sense of
symbolically successful, when the image presents a convincing fusion
of the two polarities and as 'bad' when the graft fails to 'take'
visually or philosophically—that is, when it is a mere juxtaposition
of opposites rather than a true fusion... 'Bad' androgynes often turn
out, on closer inspection, to be not true androgynes but
pseudo-androgynes... These liminal creatures include...male-female
twins.
"Perhaps the most important way in which androgynes may be split
into two groups, as it were, is in terms of their way of coming into
existence. Some are the result of the fusing of separates, male and
female; others are born in a fused form and subsequently separated
into a male and a female...
"In the mythology of mysticism...chaos is positive; the desire to
merge back into chaos is the goal of human existence, the supreme
integration toward which one strives. In many rituals, too, androgyny
is 'a symbolic restoration of 'Chaos', of the undifferentiated unity
that proceeded the Creation, and this return to the homogenous takes
the form of supreme regeneration, a prodigious increase of power'...
"The fusing type of androgyne is originally created as a male and
female in isolation and must fuse in order to create. The separate
components are barren, only the androgyne is creative... The most
common variant of the theme of the fusing androgyne is the Two-in-One
or hierogamy (i.e., sacred marriage)...
"...Many myths point out that the permanently fused androgyne is,
technically, the one creature in the world who is certain to be unable
to copulate. As Alan Watts has remarked, the androgyne symbolizes a
state 'in which the erotic no longer has to be sought or pursued,
because it is always present in its totality." - 146:277-78
("Androgynes")
The final paragraph sounds eerily like the description of the
Antichrist in Daniel 11:37:
"Neither shall he regard...the desire of women...for he shall magnify
himself above all."
As if this wickedness were not sufficiently evil, the androgynous
Antichrist will be the pattern for all mankind. Alice Bailey stated,
"The Plan is concerned with rebuilding mankind." (148:145) Danilou
implies in The Phallus, Sacred Symbol of Male Creative Power that the
evolutionary process requires the elimination of gender distinctions
until androgyny is the norm: "The goal toward which the human species
should aim is the progressive reintegration of the sexes until
androgyny is obtained. The evolved being tends toward bisexuality." -
102:113
The Antichrist's false religious system, including a counterfeit
144,000, will no doubt model the neutered Christianity of the new
Gnosticism:
"With regard to Rev. 14:4 ('Those are they that are not defiled with
women; for they are virgins') [Georg] Koepgen asserts, 'Here the new
androgynous form of existence becomes visible. Christianity is neither
male nor female, it is male-female in the sense that the male paired
with the female in Jesus' soul. In Jesus the tension and polaristic
strife of sex are resolved in an androgynous unity. And the Church,
as his heir, has taken this over from him; She too is androgynous.'" -
146:281
THE GRAIL KING
It is fitting that the sign of Virgo, representing the androgyne or
hermaphrodite, is symbolized by the six-pointed star.
" The six-pointed Star refers to the six Forces or Powers of Nature,
the six planes, principles, etc., etc. all synthesized by the seventh,
or the central point in the Star. All these, the upper and lower
hierarchies included, emanate from the 'Heavenly or Celestial Virgin,'
the great mother in all religions, the Androgyne, the
Sephirah-Adam-Kadmon." (Blavatsky) - 209:215 (Vol. I)
Cirlot's Dictionary of Symbols reveals that the six-pointed star
signals the birth of a god:
"Since [Virgo] is governed by Mercury and corresponds to the number
six it is symbolic of hermaphroditism, or that state which is
characterized by dual - positive and negative - forces. Hence Virgo is
sometimes depicted with the symbol of the soul or the Seal of Solomon
(two triangles, representing fire and water, superimposed and
intersecting to form a six-pointed star)... In mythology and in
religions generally, this symbol is always associated with the birth
of a god or a demi-god, as the supreme expression of the dynamic
consciousness..." - 48:360-361
The Mark of the Beast will be a symbolic representation of the
Antichrist's own androgynous state (which is why he is called a
'beast') and the "transformed" condition of humanity under the
perverse influence and governance of this demigod. The Antichrist's
declaration of 'peace and safety' takes on new meaning when we
understand that the "transformation of mankind" will bring God's wrath
upon the world:
"The six-pointed star is a symbol of the lost archetype of The Sacred
Marriage, representing the balance of male and female among others and
essential for our personal and planetary healing." - 285
"As stated previously, alchemy was not primarily the search for a
metallurgic formula to turn lead into gold. The primary texts of the
old master alchemists refer to the transmutation of a natural person
into a spiritual person.... The crucible is life itself, and the goal
is union with God. The transformed person is one who finds the
'philosopher's stone', often equated with wisdom... In some alchemical
texts, this wisdom is illustrated with the symbol [of the six-pointed
star]. Here again we find the sacred 'union of opposites' and
holiness/wholeness illustrated by the hexagram...
"Jewish rabbinical tradition teaches that the Ark of the Covenant kept
in the Holy of Holies of Solomon's Temple on Mount Sion contained not
only the tablets on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed, but
also a 'man and a woman locked in intimacy in the form of a hexagram.'
This tradition articulates the fundamental basis of Hebrew society;
the tablets represent the precepts of the covenant, and the hexagram
symbolizes the 'hieros gamos', the intimate union of the opposites.
The meaning of the hexagram is summed up in the Hebrew word 'shalom'
meaning 'peace and well-being.' It is still the prayer of the
universe.
"Recent research about the feminine aspect of God in the Hebrew
tradition reveals that the Holy of Holies was the marriage chamber
where the union of Yahweh, the unseen Holy One, with his feminine
counterpart, the Shekinah, was consummated. With the destruction of
the Temple, so goes the Jewish myth, the relationship of Yahweh and
Shekinah...was ruptured, and Yahweh returned to the heavens to reign
alone. Meanwhile his bride roamed the earth in exile, like the
community of Israel in Diaspora...
"We find this Sister-Bride, still searching for her lost Bridegroom,
in the Song of Songs... Up until the thirteenth century, the Bride was
often associated with Mary Magdalene. And the sacred [six-pointed
star] remained in the rabbinical tradition as the preeminent symbol
for the Sacred Marriage, a promise of harmony and well-being...
"...this emblem was a sign of the age to come." - 936:164-166
Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair died in the year 2000 on the day
following Imbolc (February 1-2): "...Pierre Plantard...[was] deceased
on...February 3, 2000...at eleven hours ten minutes." (375) Imbolc
is one of four major Druidic feasts which involve ritual human
sacrifice. Recall that "The Celtic Imbolc...is a time for purification
and new beginnings... Imbolc anticipates spring, although the vernal
equinox is seven weeks away. The word Imbolc refers to the pregnant
condition of ewes at Midwinter." Consider the timing of events in the
life and death of Pierre Plantard de Saint-Claire:
"On January 22, 1981, a short article appeared in the French press...
'A veritable secret society of 121 dignitaries, the Prieuré de
Sion...convened its Convent at Blois on 17 January 1981... As a result
of this Convent at Blois, Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair was elected
grand master of the Order...'" (31:214)
"Vaincre is now [1998] the title of the Priory's internal bulletin,
which Pierre de Saint-Clair edits with his son Thomas." (242:37)
"...Pierre Plantard...[was] deceased on...February 3, 2000...at eleven
hours ten minutes." (375)
"...Percival becomes the king of the Grail when the planet Saturn,
Jupiter, Mars and Mercury get together." (127:48)
"...5 May of the year 2000... a date when for the first time in 6,000
years all the planets of our solar system will be arrayed in
practically a straight line across space," (127:53)
"17 June 2000... His son, Thomas Plantard, announced the death of his
father, Pierre Plantard, to me."(361)
On May 5 of the year 2000, there occurred an event that was heralded
by New Agers as the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
“The night of May 4, 2000, was the eve of one of the most exciting,
powerful, and transformative celestial events of our millennium
according to astronomy and astrology experts. It began with the
darkest night in living memory... no moon or planet lit up the sky as
the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were hidden from
human eyes behind the Sun. The next morning, May 5th, at 8:08 a.m.
Universal Time, the longitudinal span of these five planets, Sun and
Moon collimated within a geocentric (Earth-centered) sector of 27
degrees of the Constellation of Taurus in our Milky Way galaxy,
forming a 'Grand Planetary Alignment.'...Many cultures, including the
Mayans and Hopi, have a prophecy predicting the May 5th Grand
Planetary Alignment and this time, 'the birth of the New Age of
Enlightenment' - The Age of Aquarius. On the Mayan calendar, May 5th
marked the end of the 5th Sun and the birth of the 6th Sun.”(479)
MAY 5, 2000 was the close of present Age of Pisces, in New Age terms.
Expected to be the day of reckoning, decision and judgment, New Agers
believe that May 5, when all of the planets were in alignment, was a
"cosmic moment" similar in appearance and significance to the Star of
Bethlehem which announced to the Magi the coming of the Messiah. At
the turn of every age (two millennia), there are "revolutionary
transformations accompanying the change of Ages...It is the twilight
of the gods -- the Day of Judgment for the outgoing and incoming
Ages." [CalenderSign 2000]
Since the planets represent gods in the occult traditions, New Agers
believe that the gods will return to earth. Mankind is being prepared
for a massive visitation of extraterrestrials (aka, demons) who have
promised to assist them in transcending matter to a higher plane of
existence -- that of pure spirit.
The sign of this transition will be the astroarcheological Star of
Bethlehem, which contains three "mystic rectangles", a "Star of
David", a "Seal of Solomon", a "Grand Sextile", superimposed upon one
another to form three sets of 6 (666) with a "Grand Cross" and two
five pointed star configurations. This delusional phenomenon is
depicted on The Astroarchaeological Star of Bethlehem website.
The importance of the six-pointed Star of David in occult symbolism
and ritual cannot be overstated. Dr. Cathy Burns' chapter on the
Six-Pointed Star from Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, explains
the occult significance of this symbol. The Six-Pointed Star: The Mark
of the Beast presents a reasonable case for its use by the Antichrist
to brand his disciples in a Luciferic initiation.
The six-pointed star has been identifed by the New Age as the Star of
Bethlehem which announces the Advent of Christ. "The Star is the
symbol of the perfect life, the perfect balance, of the Christ-man.
The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem, which again means the
Star of the Son of man." [GaiaMind ]
According to Wolfram von Eschenbach's poem, Parzival, the hero,
"...Percival becomes the king of the Grail when the planet Saturn,
Jupiter, Mars and Mercury get together." (127:48) Based on this
planetary alignment and its occult significance, it is probable that
Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair, the divine androgen, became the 'Grail
King' around the turn of the Millennium.
Percival was a knight in the legendary King Arthur's Dragon Court, the
precursor of his famous Round Table. In the poem, Parzival, the
protagonist set out on a quest to find the Holy Grail which,
mystically, means the quest for immortality. After failure and
perseverance, Percival at last laid hold of the Holy Grail at the
castle of Montsalvat (mountain of salvation) where he ruled as Grail
King until succeeded by one of his twin sons. The legend of King
Arthur has astrological significance, the twelve knights of the 'round
table' corresponding to the twelve signs of the Zodiac's 'circle of
animals'. The name Arthur, in fact, is derived from 'Artos', the Bear,
and the constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear, is known as
Arthur's Chariot.
"The name Ursa Major, according to The New English Dictionary,
'appears to arise out of the verbal association of the star name
Arcturus with Arturus or Arthur, and the legendary association with
Arthur and Charlemagne...' In Welsh lore, the constellation is seen as
a symbol of the Celtic King Arthur; his name, it is claimed, is
derived from Arth-Uthyr, 'the wonderful bear'. So it was that the
early Britons saw Arthur's Chariot in the great constellation;
'Arthur's slow wain [wagon] his course doth roll in utter darkness
round the Pole...'. Furthermore it has been suggested that this
constellation, with its circular route, may have led to the notion of
the round table (The Zodiac)...
"ARCTURUS... A golden red star situated on the left knee of
Bootes, the 4th brightest in the sky.
"Arcturus takes its name from its nearness to the sky Bears, Big
and Little Bears, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor. From Arktouros or
Arctophilax, 'the Bear Guard and also called 'the Bear Watcher'. The
'Herdsman', or 'driver of oxen' are other titles.
"According to E W Bullinger (The Witness of the Stars), a biblical
interpreter of the constellations, the ancient Egyptians called Bootes
Smat, which means one who rules, subdues, and governs. They also
called him Bau, which means also 'the coming one'. - 833 ("Ursa
Major")
We mention these details of the Arthurian legend because the Plantard
family crest displays two Rampant Bears which are esoteric symbols of
the Great Bear and Little Bear constellations, Ursa Major and Ursa
Minor. These constellations are found in the astrological sign of
Cancer and, in this section, we have presented further compelling
evidence that Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair is the Antichrist.
As a matter of fact, the word 'bear' means 'beast', the term used for
the Antichrist and False Prophet in the book of Revelation. The reader
will find, in the False Gospel in the Stars series, that each
astrological sign has relevance to the characters and events of
Revelation. This explains the heavy promotion of the Zodiac within
the Christian community. 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. Mt. 24:24

NOTES:
AGE OF AQUARIUS
"A popular date for the beginning of the Age of Aquarius is the year
2000. If, however, the Age of Pisces began with the ministry of Jesus
(as many claim), and if each age is 2150 years in duration, then we
clearly have a long way to go before we pass into the Age of
Aquarius." - 940
HOMOSEXUAL RITES
"In the book entitled The Guilt of the Templars, we are told that 'the
Knights Templar's confessions show them to have been basically
homosexual warrior order... Other chargers were that the Knights
templar participated in black magic and pederasty (anal intercourse,
usually with a boy). They practiced 'phallicism or sex-worship and
Satanism and venerated 'The Baphomet,' the idol of the Luciferians.
The crime of sodomy was a rite of Templar initiation." - 625:104
"...Baphomet [was] an androgynous (meaning both male and female
figure. Satan, like Baphomet, 'is often pictured as a hermaphrotidic
deity, having a male phallus an the breasts of a woman." - 625:104
"...in ancient Egypt, Set was worshipped with obscene, homosexual
rituals. We are told that the rituals performed for Set and Sirius
were so horrible and debased 'that later rulers of Egypt defaced their
temples and obelisks and tried to drive them from the land.' In
mythology, we find that Set himself was involved in incest for he
married his sister, Nephthys." - 625:80
THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY
SATANIC BLOODLINE OF THE ANTICHRIST & FALSE PROPHET
THE BLOODLINE FROM HELL
"The stars must be aligned in a specific way in order for Set [Satan]
to be properly invoked."
— Kenneth Grant, Grand Master, OTO
"The three constellations develop the truth. What is now called Ursa
Minor is the Lesser Flock; Ursa Major gives us The Sheepfold and the
Sheep; while Argo, The Ship, shows the travellers and the pilgrims
brought safely home—all conflict over." (Bullinger) - 939
Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are the constellations of the Great Bear and
Little Bear. They are commonly known today as the Big and Little
Dipper, although they extend beyond the Dipper constellations. In
spite of the fact that these constellations are represented in the
Greek zodiac by wild beasts, Bullinger, Kennedy and other proponents
of the false 'gospel in the stars' theory maintain that Ursa Major and
Ursa Minor represent sheepfolds.
"The meaning [of Cancer] is made even clearer as we consider the
three decans. On a planisphere Ursa Minor is found near the center of
the ecliptic and is called today The Little Bear. However, this is not
the ancient meaning of the constellations Ursa Minor and Ursa Major.
In fact, never did a bear have such a tail as that! Actually, there is
no bear in the planisphere or zodiacs of the Chaldeans, Persians,
Egyptians, or the Indians. Rather, what we have here is a sheepfold,
which is believed to be the original meaning of Ursa Minor.
"The figure of a sheepfold probably comes from the fact that one
of the brightest stars in Ursa Major is the star Dubheh, which means a
'Herd of Animals' and is very similar to the word Dob or the Hebrew
Dowb, which means 'The Bear.' This could be the reason the sign
changed over time. But it is really referring to a little fold and a
great fold. God's Church is the little flock--the gathering together
of his people...
"The second decan [in the sign of Cancer] is Ursa Major, probably
the best known of all of the constellations in the sky. We don't know
it as the Great Bear, as the Greeks called it, but we call it The Big
Dipper... Like Ursa Minor, Ursa Major is neither a dipper or a bear.
Rather it is the greater sheepfold, as pictured in the most ancient
planispheres or zodiacs of the various nations...
"Other stars in Ursa Major are El Alcola, 'The Sheepfold'; Cab'd
al Asad, 'Multitude of the Assembled'; El Kaprah, 'The Protected,' or
in Hebrew 'The Redeemed' or 'Ransomed.' A more familiar star,
Callisto, again means 'The Sheepfold.'..." - 872:109-114
The word Ursa comes from the Latin "ursus", which means bear.
According to Webster's Dictionary, the Anglo-Saxon word for bear
(bera) is derived from the Latin word fera meaning 'wild beast'. This
ferocious beast is of the genus Ursus:
Bear \Bear\, n. [OE. bere, AS. bera; akin to D. beer, OHG. bero, pero,
G. b["a]r, Icel. & Sw. bj["o]rn, and possibly to L. fera wild beast,
Gr. ? beast, Skr. bhalla bear.]
1. (Zo["o]l.) Any species of the genus Ursus, and of the closely
allied genera. Bears are plantigrade Carnivora, but they live largely
on fruit and insects. Note: The European brown bear ({U. arctos}),
the white polar bear ({U. maritimus}), the grizzly bear
({U.horribilis}), the American black bear, and its variety the
cinnamon bear ({U. Americanus}), the Syrian bear ({Ursus Syriacus}),
and the sloth bear, are among the notable species...- 868
THE PLANTARD FAMILY CREST
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which
I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a
BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him
his power, and his seat, and great authority. - Rev. 13:1-2
"The Rampant Bear...emblem...depicts just this - the Bear
constellation tied to the Pole of the earth's axis, and dancing around
it."
— Peter Dawkins, Arcadia
The Plantard family crest is regarded as the key to the
Typhonian/Draconian Current, which is the demonic lineage of the
Merovingian bloodline. The Typhonian Current refers to the Dragon
lineage of Satan. Revelation 12:9 states: And the great dragon was
cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world. "Typhon is...Plutarch asserts, the distinct
'Evil Principle' or the Satan of the Jews." (316) The key to the
Draconian lineage — the Plantard crest — has been elucidated by
Kenneth Grant, the Grand Master of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO), the
occult organization once headed by Aleister Crowley. Note the
Merovingian symbols, the bears and the bees, in the Plantard crest.
Also, do not miss Grant's assertion, amply supported by other sources,
that the Prieuré de Sion has for some time controlled the Vatican. In
his book Outer Gateways Kenneth Grant wrote:
“In The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, the authors reproduce the
family crest of Clan Plantard, the contemporary representative of
which was, until recently, the Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion, an
Order which, according to [Henry] Lincoln, dominated the Order of the
Knights Templar and various other highly influential institutions
which, at certain periods of history, included the Vatican. The crest
which supplies the key to the [Typhonian/ Draconian] Current
represented by the Merovingian bloodline and the Order of Sion,
comprises the symbols of the Typhonian line of descent: the two bears,
eleven bees, and the fleur de lys. The motto incorporated in the crest
reads 'et in Arcadia ego.' Arcadia=127, which is the number of the
Egyptian Goddess Heqt who was typified by the 'lower part of the back,
or haunch.'
“The two bears denote the Mother (Typhon) and her son (Set) [Satan].
The image of the bee pictorializes the buzzing or humming vibration
peculiar to the Outer Ones, or their vehicles. Eleven is the number of
Those who are Without, or beyond, the Tree of Life, thus identifying
the Outer Ones.' The Outer Ones are also the Qliphoth or the Ancient
Ones of Lovecraftian lore. That the Typhonian Tradition and the
Merovingian Tradition share the same important symbols seems to be
much more then a mere coincidence.” - 571
THE DRACONIAN CURRENT
The Typhonian or Draconian Tradition refers to the secret doctrine of
the Ordo Draconis, the Order of the Dragon which is associated with
the Rosicrucians:
"In 1408...the Dragon Court was formally reconstituted as a sovereign
body at a time of wars and general political turmoil. The Court's
reemergence was instigated by Sigismund von Luxembourg, king of
Hungary, a descendant of the Lusignan Dragon Kings of Jerusalem.
Having inherited the legacy in 1397 he drew up a pact with
twenty-three nobles who swore to observe 'true and pure fraternity'
within the Societas Draconis (later called Ordo Draconis) — Hungarian:
Sarkany Rend. The founding document...stated that members of the Court
might wear the insignia of a dragon incurved into a circle, with a red
cross — the very emblem of the original Rosicrucis which had
identified the Grail succession from before 3000 B.C." (348:225)
The Draconian Current refers to the demonic bloodline which is
represented by the Dragon Order. The Dragon Court was constituted in
1408 for the express purpose of preserving the ancient Vere bloodline.
Of this bloodline Godfroi de Bouillon was a member, according to "From
Transylvania to Tunbridge Wells" on the Dagobert's Revenge website:
"...The Holy Grail itself was Elven as was Jesus himself, complete
with his Crown of Fairy Thorns, depicted as the headgear of Godfroi de
Vere de Bouillon in the 12th century...
"The Dragon Court exists as an organization solely for the
bloodline descendants of the ancient Vere family -- the senior
bloodline successors as a Scythian-Merovin, Elven House of Princess
Maelasanu -- and for those whose bloodlines are extracted from this
descent and its ancient Dragon Court." (342:5)
We have already documented in the previous section that Pierre
Plantard de Saint-Clair and his son, Thomas, descended from Godfroi de
Bouillon, the first Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion. In his book,
Genesis of the Grail Kings, Laurence Gardner locates the Plantard
bloodline within this Draconian Current:
"The Plantagenets were themselves a junior branch of the House of
Anjou, whose senior branch was the House of Vere [whose] ancestry was
jointly Pictish and Merovingian descending from the ancient Grail
House of Scythia." (248:8)
In "Starfire: Gold of the Gods", Gardner elucidates the ancient
pedigree of the Dragon succession, which began with Cain, supposedly
the offspring of Eve and Satan. Gardiner' revision of the Genesis
account traces the genealogy of Jesus back to Cain, who was therefore
an offspring of the Annunaki:
"One of the interesting items from the archives of the Dragon
Court was the origin of the word 'kingship'. It derives from the very
earliest of Sumerian culture wherein 'kingship' was identical with
'kinship' - and 'kin' means 'blood relative'. In its original form,
'kinship' was 'Kainship'. And the first King of the Messianic Dragon
succession was the biblical 'C(Kain)', head of the Sumerian House of
Kish.
"On recognizing this, one can immediately see the first anomaly in
the tradition of the Genesis story, for the historical line from David
to Jesus was not from Adam and Eve's son, Seth, at all. It was from
Eve's son Cain, whose recorded successors (although given little space
in the Old Testament) were the first great Kings (or Kains) of
Mesopotamia and Egypt...
"According to the Dragon tradition, the importance of Cain was
that he was directly produced by Enki [Satan] and Ava [Eve], so his
blood was three quarters Anunnaki. His half brothers Hevel and
Satanael (better known as Abel and Seth) were less than half Anunnaki,
being the offspring of Ateba and Ava (Adam and Eve)..." - 612 (Part I)
ET IN ARCADIA EGO
"Et in Arcadia Ego" inscribed on the arch between the two bears is an
esoteric reference to Arcadia, the Greek city where Danaus and his
fifty daughters introduced the worship of the mother goddess. Arcadia
represents the Rosicrucian's envisioned Paradise on earth.
"Arcadia was one of the primary mystery names given to the state of
the world in a Golden Age, and the whole Arcadian imagery and allegory
is that of a Utopia or Paradise on earth that might be achieved. The
world is on the threshold of that achievement now, according to the
way the evolutionary cycles of divine law work. Jesus Christ and the
Buddha prepared us for it in an outstanding way; Francis Bacon...and
the Rosicrucian Brotherhood have inaugurated it. All have used
Arcadian imagery, the meaning of which pierces deep, right to the
heart of all mysteries." - 889:15
According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a sacred river flows from Arcadia
to the underworld. This underground stream, Alpheus, represents a
demonic bloodline to which the the Plantard bloodline belongs.
"Arcadia...is frequently denoted by a fountain or a tombstone, both of
which are associated with an underground stream. This stream is
usually equated with the river Alpheus—the central river in the actual
geographical Arcadia in Greece, which flows underground and is said to
surface again at the Fountain of Arethusa in Sicily. From the remotest
antiquity to Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan' the river Alpheus has been
deemed sacred. Its very name derives from the same root as the Greek
word alpha, meaning 'first' or 'source.'...
"...the underground stream...might connote an unacknowledged and thus
'subterranean' bloodline...
"...the Plantard family--lineal descendants of Dagobert II and the
Merovingian dynasty. In 1548, the 'Prieuré documents' state, Jean des
Plantard had married Marie de Saint-Clair--thus forging another link
between his family and that of the Saint-Clair/Gisors...
"...the specific phrase in Poussin's painting—'Et in Arcadia
Ego'...appeared in an earlier painting by Poussin, in which the tomb
is surmounted by a skull and does not constitute an edifice of its
own, but is embedded in the side of a cliff. In the foreground of this
painting a bearded water deity reposes in an attitude of brooding
moroseness—the river god Alpheus, lord of the underground stream..." -
31:139-140;177,180-2
As an aside, the occult uses rivers and other fresh water sources as
sacred sites for their vampire rituals. Apposite to their sin, God
will turn fresh water sites into blood during the Tribulation period:
And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains
of waters; and they became blood... For they have shed the blood of
saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; for they
are worthy. - Rev. 16:4, 6
In William Taylor Coleridge's famous poem, Kubla Khan, the sacred
river Alph descends to the underworld. In a portion of this poem,
reprinted below, the god of the underworld, Typhon, is pictured as an
erupting volcano, another sacred site of occultists. The imagery is
phallic:
Kubla Khan
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea...
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river... - 781
In Greek Mythology, Typhon was the volcano demon which spewed fiery
rocks at the sky: "TYPHOEUS was a monstrous immortal giant who was
defeated and imprisoned beneath Mount Aitna by Zeus. This
volcano-daimon hurled red-hot rocks at the sky and...boiled forth
great storms of fire... Aitna (Mt Etna), where the rock is alight and
kettles of fire boil up the hot flare of Typhaon’s bed." –Dionysiaca
13.319 - 867
FLEUR DE LYS
The fleur de lys in the Plantard crest is a also phallic symbol.
According to Margaret Starbird's esoteric book, The Woman with the
Alabaster Jar: Mary Magdalene and the Holy Grail, the fleur de lys is
a masculine symbol of the covenant of circumcision. Typical of
occultists, for whom the Bible is a closed book, verses are wrested to
their own destruction.
"The royal emblem of the Merovingian king Clovis was the fleur-de-lis
(the iris)...a masculine symbol. In fact, it is a graphic image of the
covenant of circumcision... This three-pronged 'lily' is an ancient
symbol for Israel: the capitals of the two phallic pillars of
Solomon's Temple, Jachin and Boaz, were carved with 'lily work' (I
Kings 7:22)." (936:62)
As a symbol of the Merovingian bloodline, the fleur de lys
specifically represents the French branch of this genealogical tree.
Holy Blood, Holy Grail contains an illustration which explains the
connection of the fleur de lys with French Merovingian royalty.
"'Legend of the Fleur-de-lys.' A fifteenth century illumination of the
legend of the divine origins of the fleur-de-lys, symbol of the French
royal line. Clovis I is shown receiving a banner from his queen,
Clotilde." (31:Fig.35)
Holy Blood, Holy Grail misrepresents the fleur de lys as a Jewish
symbol: "Jewish coin of the time of Antiochus VII, 138-29 B.C. The
lily, stylized here and perhaps a precursor of the French
fleur-de-lys, was a symbol of Judea." (31:Fig.33) More likely the
fleur de lys was an Egyptian symbol minted by Antiochus VII, the king
of Syria who married Cleopatra Thea, Princess of Egypt. Antiochus VII
defeated the Maccabees and besieged Jerusalem.
The fleur de lys also represents the Tree of Life which also descends
to the netherworld (hell). Notice in Coleridge's poem that the
volcano-daimon Typhoeus is ejaculating all over the sky. In French,
the surname 'Plantard' means 'sapling', indicating a young plant which
has its roots in the underworld but aspires to reach the sky.
It seems the fleur de lys is frequently found in ancient Egyptian
artifacts. In this next excerpt from Ancient Egyptians and the
Constellations can be seen a connection between Osiris—who is
identified with the Kabalistic Tree of Life—and the Plantard
bloodline.
"In ancient Egyptian texts...The Tree of Life grew out of the
Sacred Mound, it's branches reaching out and supporting the star and
planet studded sky, while it's roots reached down into the watery
abyss of the Netherworld. The trunk of the Tree of Life represented
the World Pillar or Axis Munde (literally 'Axis of the Mound') around
which the heavens appeared to revolve. The World Pillar was the centre
of the universe.
"The Ancient Egyptian symbol for 'plant' meaning 'Tree of Life'
was three sacred lotus lilies. They have tree stems curving to the
left as though blown into Life by the breath of Hu, the Celestial
Sphinx. On top of each stem is the Lotus flower which was used in
Ancient Egypt to represent Life and Resurrection. It is from this
hieroglyph that the 'fleur de lis' which is frequently found in
Ancient Egyptian Art traces its origin. The fleur de lis' represents
the Tree of Life. The glyph which denotes the sacred knowledge
associated with Hu is also formed by the three stems of the three
sacred lotus lilies...
"Osiris, in his earliest Axis Munde form of a tamarisk tree trunk,
was called Djed. His later mummy wrappings were symbolic of his having
been encased inside a tree trunk. His mummy was therefore an Axis
Munde... When Osiris was enclosed in the trunk of a tamarisk tree,
which was later cut down and used as a pillar in the palace of the
King of Byblos, he metaphorically became as one with the Tree of Life.
Osiris became the Axis Munde around which the heavens appear to
revolve; he became the World Pillar, the link between the terrestrial
and celestial worlds. He held the heavens in his outstretched arms,
and he soaked up the word of God from the waters of the Netherworld.
In Ancient Egypt the Netherworld was called the 'Netterworld' meaning
the 'World of the gods'. The gods had their home among the stars." -
903:6
ELEVEN BEES
The Great Mother Goddess of the Merovingian bloodline was Diana, who
was a lesbian.
"[Diana] devoted herself to hunting, always accompanied by a band of
young women, who, like herself, abjured marriage. She is depicted with
a quiver and attended by dogs. her most famous temple was at Ephesus,
and was one of the seven wonders of the world." - 625:237
Kenneth Grant includes among Diana's sacred animals the bear, the bee
and the crab, which all point to the sign of Cancer. The bee is also a
symbol of Set or Satan. There are eleven bees on the arch of the
Plantard crest; eleven, of course, is an occult number.
""In the Typhonian Tradition the Bear is the constellation of Ursa
Major. The stars must be aligned in a specific way in order for Set
[Satan] to be properly invoked. To the Priory of Sion (the secret,
occult organization dedicated to preserving the Merovingian
Bloodline), the Bear was an animal of the Goddess Diana. According to
Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, the authors of The Templar Revelation,
' ...the Merovingian kings, from their founder Merovee to Clovis (who
converted to Christianity in 496) were 'pagan kings of the cult of
Diana'.' Picknet and Prince got this information from the Dossiers
Secrets of the Priory of Sion. The bees, which are a recurring symbol
of the Merovingians are, in the Typhonian Tradition, represented
frequently as the humming or buzzing sound that occurs before the
appearance of the Great Old Ones or 'beings' proper to this tradition.
Grant writes 'The bee, beetle, or crab, is therefore the link between
the earliest manifestation of the Typhonion current and its final
phases.' Also; '217 is the key number of [Crowley's] Book of the Law.
217 is also the number of DBVRH, meaning 'a bee' which is the specific
symbol of Sekhet, whose name means 'a bee.' Sekhet is another aspect
of the god Set. There are eleven bees because eleven is the number of
Magick and of the sephirah on the Tree of Life, called Daath, which is
the 'Gateway' to the backside of the Tree and to the Gods... As for
the fleur de lys, in the Typhonian Tradition it represents the 'kingly
man' that Crowley extols and the inheritor of the Grail Bloodline. In
The Vision and the Voice, Crowley is 'conversing' with his Holy
Guardian Angel Aiwas, who says: 'For I am not appointed to guard thee,
but we are of the blood royal, the guardians of the Treasure-house of
Wisdom.' The 'blood royal,' the Sangraal of the Holy Grail." - 571
"Eleven. Symbolic of transition, excess and peril and of conflict and
martyrdom. According to Schneider, there is an infernal character
about it: since it is in excess of the number of perfection - ten..."
48:234
"There is a good reason for the emphasis on eleven and twenty-twos:
these numbers are both 'Master numbers' in the occult. They are
particularly significant in cabalistic studies." 242:203
There are also 13 tribes of Israel: 2 in the southern kingdom of Judah
(Judah and Benjamin) and 11 in the northern kingdom of Israel (Ephraim
and Manasseh plus 9 other tribes representing the sons of Jacob).
Possibly the 11 bees on the Plantard Crest represent the apostate
northern kingdom of Israel.
THE BEARS
“The two bears denote the Mother (Typhon) and her son (Set) [Satan].”
(Kenneth Grant) - 571
“...the daimon Typhon...was equated with the Egyptian god Set...” -
867
"The stars must be aligned in a specific way in order for Set to be
properly invoked." Kenneth Grant, Grand Master, OTO
In Greek mythology, Callisto, the daughter of Lycaon, which means
wolf, and sister of the lesbian Greek goddess Artemis, the huntress,
known as Diana to the Romans. The name Artemis appears to be a
derivative of 'Art' which means 'Bear, stone, or God' and
Artemis/Diana was known the bear-goddess. Callisto, who belonged to
the Artemis' band of lesbians, was raped by the king of Greek gods,
Zeus; their offspring was Arcas. Variations of the myth are that
either Zeus/Jupiter or his jealous wife Hera/Juno, hurled Callisto
into the heavens where she became the Great Bear (Ursa Major) and
Arcas soon followed as the Little Bear (Ursa Minor). The region of
Greece known as Arcadia, where the Merovingians settled, is named
after Arcas.
"The Sicambrians, ancestors of the Franks, were known as the 'people
of the Bear' for their worship of the bear-goddess Arduina
[Diana/Artemis]. The word 'Arcadia' comes from Arkas, patron god of
that area of Greece, the son of the nymph Callisto, sister of the
huntress Artemis. Callisto's constellation is also known to many as
Ursa Major, the Great Bear.
"The name 'Arthur' comes from the Celtic arth, related to 'Ursus' --
namely, 'bear.' In legend, the Merovingians were said to be descended
from the Trojans, and Homer reports that Troy was founded by a colony
of Arcadians.
"The 'Prieure documents' claim that the Arcadians were descended from
Benjamites driven out of Palestine by their fellow Israelites for
idolatry. 'Arcadia' was also known as the source of the River
Alphaeus, the 'underground stream' which figures so prominently in
Coleridge's poetry and in esoteric literature." (491)
According to the Mysteries of Rennes-Le-Chateau, the overthrow and
extermination of the Merovingian Dynasty was never fully accomplished.
It seems that the son of Dagobert II, the last Merovingian king who
was assassinated, left a son:
"The Merovingians were 'sacred kings' who reigned but did not rule,
leaving the secular governing function to chancellors known as the
Mayors of the Palace. It was one of these Mayors, Pepin the Fat, who
founded the dynasty that came to supplant them--the Carolingians.
"One of the great Merovingian kings, Clovis, struck a deal with the
newly nascent Roman church. He would subdue their enemies, the Arian
Visigoths and the pagan Lombards, in return for baptism into the faith
and recognition of his right to rule a new Roman empire as 'Novus
Constantinus.'
"Yet one of his descendants, Dagobert II, was murdered by a lance
pierced through his eye (or poison poured in the ear -- accounts vary)
at the orders of Pepin. The church endorsed the assassination, flatly
betrayed its pact with Clovis, and in turn recognized the family of
usurpers as legitimate, culminating with the crowning of Charlemagne
as Holy Roman Emperor. It was thought that the Merovingian lineage was
extinguished; in any case it was excised from the history books.
"But there is some evidence that Dagobert's son, Siegebert IV,
survived and that a Merovingian principality continued to be ruled in
Septimania by Guillem de Gellone, a descendant--and ancestor--of
Godfroi de Bouillon.
"If the Prieure documents are to be believed, the Merovingian lineage
persists to this day, largely due to efforts to preserve it through
intermarriage.
"The significance of such alliances is the key." - 491
Dagobert II's son, Sigisbert IV, was known as the 'Plant-Ard' or
Sapling, an allusion to his demonically-rooted pedigree. Dagobert's
marriage to "Magdala" at Rennes-le-Chateau in South France, was said
to unite the divine 'beast of the sea' [Satan] with the Holy Family --
Jesus, Mary Magdalene and their 'divine' offspring. The Apocalyptic
Secret of Rennes-le-Chateau explains this marriage as the union of the
two 'divine' bloodlines:
"...the marriage of Dagobert II and Giselle of Razes combined the two
bloodlines, that of the Holy Family and that of a pagan divine beast,
the Quinotaur. The connection between the Merovingians and the Holy
Family seems to have been hind-shadowed by this union of the
bloodlines, when indeed they would seem from contemporary sources to
be a kind of Pendragon lineage, such as Vortigern and Arthur in
Britain. In Sigisbert IV, it appears the bloodlines of the divine king
and the world teacher combined.
"Given the events of his childhood, it is natural that Sigsbert, the
new Count of Rhedae, kept a low profile. The only solid evidence of
his existence is a charter for a monastery signed in 718 by 'Sigebert,
Comte de Rhedae, and his wife Magdala'." - 873 (Book 1, Chap. 9)
It will come as a surprise to many that the term 'Magdala' refers, not
to Mary Magdalene, but to the 'Magdalenian Era' which was the last of
the Paleolithic Age and noted for its cave paintings, particularly in
North Spain and the Southwest of France. The bear god was worshipped
in this area of France which later became the Languedoc, the legendary
abode of Mary Magdalene.
“Archeaologists have found carvings and cave paintings of Bears at
Drachenloch Caves, in Switzerland. Neanderthal man revered the Bear
back as far as 70.000 years ago. In the Lascaux caves, in France, we
find bear art back to 17,000 B.C. A sixth-century altar dedicated to
the bear god, Aedeche, is found in the French town of St. Pé
d'Ardet--the Vallée de l'Ourse -- not far from Lourdes. Many ancient
cultures wore Bear skins with the head still attached to try to become
Bear. Joseph Campbell claims that Bear Cults and Clans are older than
shamanism.” (978)
'Magdala', in all probability was derived from the city 'Migdol' near
Alexandria, Egypt, where the Queen of Heaven was worshipped as Isis.
"There is no necessity to endeavor to crowbar [Mary Magdalene] into a
Galilean setting, for there are other intriguing alternatives for her
place of origin: although there was no ‘Magdala’ in Judea in her day,
there was a Magdolum in Egypt - just across the border - which was
probably the Migdol mentioned in Ezekiel. There was a large and
flourishing Jewish community in Egypt at that time, which was
particularly centered on the great sea port of Alexandria, a seething
cosmopolitan melting pot of many races, nationalities and religions
and perhaps where the Holy Family had fled to escape the depredations
of Herod’s men." - 843
God had a few words to say through the prophet Jeremiah to the
disobedient Jews who worshipped the Queen of Heaven at Migdol:
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in
the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at
Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have
brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold,
this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein, Because
of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger,
in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they
knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers...
Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto
other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even
all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered
Jeremiah, saying, As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the
name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly
do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense
unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as
we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the
cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we
plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left
off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink
offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed
by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the
queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make
her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her,
without our men? - Jer. 44:1-3,15-19
So Magdala, the wife of Sigisbert IV, was no offspring of Mary
Magdalene; rather her name derived from the Magdalenian Era when the
bear god was the divinity of choice in South France. No wonder the
offspring of Sigisbert IV and Magdala were BEARS!
"...Dagobert II climbed on the throne but he was assassinated in 679
as well as his son Sigebert IV according to the official history...
"The Merovingian dynasty continued formally with Thierry IV and
Childéric III who was removed in 751 and this was the end of the
dynasty. According to the parchment found by Saunière, and this could
be true according to some historians, Sigebert IV escaped and arrived
in the Razes on the 17 of January 681 where he took refuge with his
grand father. Dagobert II had as a second wife Gisèle, the daughter
of Béra II the count of Razès. The Merovingian line included, after
Sigebert IV (676-758) also known as the 'Plant-Ard' - from whom Mr
Plantard took his name!-: Sigebert V (695-768), Bera III (715-771),
Guillemon, Bera IV (755-836), Bera V (794-860), Hildéric I and finally
Sigebert VI known as 'Ursus'. From this lineage came the Blanchefort
family who gave three centuries later a Templar Grand Master, Bertrand
de Blanchefort... According to the parchment found by Saunière the
lineage did not stop with Sigebert VI but continued up to this date
although nobody claimed the French throne." - 856
According to Webster's Dictionary (1913), BERA is the Anglo-Saxon word
for BEAR, which possibly derives from the Latin word fera meaning
'wild beast', 'water beast' and 'sea bear'.
Bear \Bear\, n. [OE. bere, AS. bera; akin to D. beer, OHG. bero, pero,
G. b["a]r, Icel. & Sw. bj["o]rn, and possibly to L. fera wild beast,
Gr. ? beast, Skr. bhalla bear.]
1. (Zo["o]l.) Any species of the genus Ursus, and of the closely
allied genera. Bears are plantigrade Carnivora, but they live largely
on fruit and insects. Note: The European brown bear ({U. arctos}),
the white polar bear ({U. maritimus}), the grizzly bear
({U.horribilis}), the American black bear, and its variety the
cinnamon bear ({U. Americanus}), the Syrian bear ({Ursus Syriacus}),
and the sloth bear, are among the notable species.
2. (Zo["o]l.) An animal which has some resemblance to a bear in form
or habits, but no real affinity; as, the woolly bear; ant bear; water
bear; sea bear.
3. (Astron.) One of two constellations in the northern hemisphere,
called respectively the {Great Bear} and the {Lesser Bear}, or {Ursa
Major} and {Ursa Minor}.
4. Metaphorically: A brutal, coarse, or morose person...- 868
The term, plantigrade, found in definition #1, describes the two
rampant bears in the Plantard family crest, and also the description
of the first beast of Revelation13:
Plantigrade \Plan"ti*grade\, n. (Zo["o]l.)
A plantigrade animal, or one that walks or steps on
the sole of the foot, as man, and the bears.
Plantigrade \Plan"ti*grade\, a. [L. planta sole of the
foot + gradi to walk: cf. F. plantigrade.] (Zo["o]l.) - 868
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet
were as the feet of a bear, - Rev. 13:2
Pertaining to definition #4, according to Holy Blood, Holy Grail,
Alpheus, the river god and lord of the underground stream is a
'bearded water deity [who] reposes in an attitude of brooding
moroseness'. - 31:180-2
In the book of Genesis, the king of Sodom was named Bera, which means
'son of evil'. Bera offered goods to Abraham which the latter wisely
refused.
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch
king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of
Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the
king of Bela, which is Zoar...
And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah,
and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela
(the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of
Siddim;...
And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom
and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the
mountain. And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all
their victuals, and went their way. And they took Lot, Abram's
brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew;
for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and
brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. And when Abram
heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained
servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and
pursued them unto Dan. And he divided himself against them, he and his
servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which
is on the left hand of Damascus. And he brought back all the goods,
and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women
also, and the people...
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and
take the goods to thyself. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have
lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of
heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a
shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest
thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: - Genesis 14
Recalling that Ursa Major means Great Bear, it is noteworthy that the
Prieuré de Sion was founded by one Prince Ursus.
"The 'Prieuré documents' imply that...an abbey existed by 1100 and
housed an order of the...name [Ordre de Sion] which may have been
formed earlier...
"It is known that in 1070, twenty-nine years before the First Crusade,
a specific band of monks from Calabria in southern Italy arrived in
the vicinity of the Ardennes Forrest, part of Godfroi de Bouillon's
domains. According to Gérard de Sède this band of monks was led by an
individual called Ursus--a name the 'Prieuré documents' consistently
associate with the Merovingian bloodline... [A]t Orval, not far from
Stenay, where Dagobert II had been assassinated some five hundred
years earlier...an abbey was established to house the monks... By 1108
they had mysteriously disappeared... Orval, by 1131, had become one of
the fiefs owned by Saint Bernard.
"Before their departure from Orval, however, the Calabrian monks may
have left a crucial mark on Western history. According to Gérard de
Sède, at least, they included the man subsequently known as Peter the
Hermit. If this is so, it would be extremely significant, for Peter
the Hermit is often believed to have been Godfroi de Bouillon's
personal tutor... In 1095, along with Pope Urban II, Peter made
himself known throughout Christendom by charismatically preaching the
need for a crusade--a holy war that would reclaim Christ's sepulchre
and the Holy Land from the Muslim infidel. Today, Peter the Hermit is
regarded as one of the chief instigators of the 'Crusades.'
"...mysterious Abbey of Orval...[is] where our research suggested the
Prieuré de Sion may have had its inception." - 31:113,170
“According to the Prieure's own documents, its history is long and
convoluted. Its earliest roots are in some sort of Hermetic or Gnostic
society led by a man named Ormus. This individual is said to have
reconciled paganism and Christianity. The story of Sion only comes
into focus in the Middle Ages. In 1070, a group of monks from
Calabria, Italy, led by one Prince Ursus, founded the Abbey of Orval
in France near Stenay, in the Ardennes. These monks are said to have
formed the basis for the Order de Sion, into which they were 'folded'
in 1099 by Godfroi de Bouillion.” - 922
The constellations of Great Bear and Leo the Lion governed Ancient
Egypt under the Pharaonic dynasties, which were also from this demonic
bloodline. In the Great Mayan Cycle, which spans all twelve signs of
the Zodiac, this was known as the Age of Taurus.
"The sign of Taurus is taken as representing the initiating
impulse that starts the process of illumination. Taurus the Bull is
the great Bestower of Light, who fertilises the minds of mankind with
seeds of light...
"It should be noticed...that the so-called 'Unification of the Two
Lands' in Ancient Egypt, which marked the start of the first cycle of
pharoanic dynasties, began with the commencement of the astronomical
Age of Taurus, c. 3,240 BC... The symbol of the bull was of particular
importance for Egypt throughout its history...
"...At the time that the pharaonic civilisation of Ancient Egypt
was supposed to have begun, c. 3.240 BC, the Spring Equinoctial sun
arose in the middle of the zodiacal sign of Taurus, and the May Day
festival sun was on the cusp of the signs of Cancer and Gemini...
"The first and main cycle of the Egyptian pharaonic
civilisation...spanned...more than just the Taurean Age. These
astronomical ages were recognised by the Egyptians, and their
civilisation adapted accordingly, but the cycle of their civilisation
was not governed primarily by such ages. There was something even more
significant in the heavens which governed that particular cycle of the
Egyptian civilisation - the association of two great constellations
that have special significance to each other, one near the north pole
and the other in the zodiac. These two constellations, which
determined the whole length and course of the first cycle of Egyptian
pharaonic civilisation, were Ursa Major, the Great Bear, and Leo, the
Lion. ...Leo is also a symbol of the heart, and Ursa Major was
considered by the Egyptians to be the magical 'thigh' (or right
foreleg) of Taurus, the latter symbolising the illumined mind and
referred to as the 'Eye' of Horus. With this 'thigh of the Eye of
Horus' Ptah (the Creator god signifying the Voice of God) 'opened' the
mouths of divine entities and the souls of the dead." - 889:27
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were
as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. - Rev.
13:2
Since New Agers are trying to replicate the ancient Egyptian culture
which was based on the pre-Flood civilization of Atlantis, it is
ominous that Ursa Major in Cancer and Leo, the Lion are the final
signs of the Biblical zodiac promoted by Kennedy et al and represent
the greater sheepfold of the Christ who will come to destroy his
enemies.
"The last four signs make the most sense if they stand for the final
consummation of all things. This section would then foretell the
coming judgments on the earth and the glorious outcome of Christ's
reign.
“Taurus, the Bull, is an angry, rushing animal, which would be a
meaningful symbol of God delivering His wrath during the Tribulation.
The Decans are Orion, Eridanus, and Auriga. Orion is the
warrior-prince with a sword on his side and his foot on the hare or
serpent. Eridanus, the torturous River, is the River of Judgment
belonging to Orion. Auriga, the Shepherd, is a picture of a powerful
shepherd-king who tenderly holds a she-goat and two little goats in
his left arm. This could be a picture of The Lord's comfort of the
persecuted believers of this coming period of judgment.
“Gemini, The Twins, are two human figures seated together in
loving closeness. This could portray the Marriage of the Lamb. (See
Marriage Supper of the Lamb.) The Decans are Lepus, Canis Major, and
Canis Minor. Lepus is the mad hare, the enemy under Orion's feet.
Canis Major, Sirius, the Great Dog could prefigure the Prince coming
in His glory. Then Canis Minor, Procyon, The Second Dog, would be his
princely following.
“Cancer the Crab is the figure of a crab, in the act of taking and
holding on with its pincers. This could be a picture of the victorious
King of Kings when He returns, and the Decans, Ursa Minor, the Lesser
Bear, Ursa Major the Greater Bear, and Argo, could picture His
privileged followers. Ursa Minor could also mean the lesser sheepfold,
and stand for the first-born who will be rulers, and Ursa Major could
be the greater sheepfold, the ones born later. Argo, the Ship, brings
the weary travelers home from their toils and travels.
“Leo, the Lion might easily picture Christ in His final victory
over the Devil. All three of the Decans point to the destruction of
the enemy, pictured as a serpent. Hydra, the fleeing Serpent, is about
to be pounced upon by the lion. Crater, the Bowl of Wrath, is placed
on the serpent. And Corvus, the Raven, the bird of doom, is also on
the serpent, devouring his carcass." (Prophecy Central, Gospel in the
Stars promo) - 850
Peter Dawkins is a recognized authority on the Baconian-Rosicrucian
philosophies and Ancient Wisdom teachings. He is the author of the
Francis Bacon Research Trust Journal Series, Studies in Ancient
Wisdom, whose purpose is "to give insight into the complete initiatory
path that all the great Religions or Wisdom Traditions have taught
from time immemorial, as being the Way, the Truth and the Life."
(889:12) Volume 5 of Dawkins' series, Arcadia: The Ancient Egyptian
Mysteries, reveals to the 'initiated' the esoteric meaning of the
'Great Bear' and 'Little Bear'. Dawkins promotes the same twaddle as
Bullinger and Kennedy about the Bear really being a Sheepfold;
however, because he is writing to esotericists, Dawkins discloses its
deeper significance—that the Sheepfold is the "heavenly place of
enlightenment" to which the initiates of mankind (sheep) are led,
presumably by the adepts and masters who are their "shepherds".
"Associated in esoteric knowledge with this role of high kingship is
the symbol of the North Pole Star - the 'crown of the world - and the
circumpolar constellations. Of these, the Lesser and the Greater Bear
are the most important: the former providing the present North Pole
Star. The 'Bear' is a veil to the real name, which means 'Dove', or
'Sheepfold', or 'Chariot'. As the Chariot, it is Arthur's vehicle of
manifestation, as also the fiery chariot on which Elijah ascended to
heaven. Hence Arthur is known as 'the Bear'. As the Sheepfold, it is
the heavenly place of peace and enlightenment that Jesus spoke of, to
which the 'sheep' (i.e. initiates) of mankind are led, and from which
the 'shepherds' (i.e. the adepts and masters) come from. As the Dove,
it is known as the vehicle of the Holy Spirit, by means of which that
Spirit descends to the earth and governs its kingdom. It is signified
by the royal crown of a High King (i.e. a crown with arches) - a halo
of light which descends upon a truly worthy and anointed (i.e.
illuminated) soul, bestowing full knowledge of Truth. The Great Bear
is known as the mother of the Little Bear, which is her son. The
Rampant Bear and Ragged Staff emblem...depicts just this - the Bear
constellation tied to the Pole of the earth's axis, and dancing around
it." - 889:80
Dawkins has already informed the reader in Volume 4 of his series, The
Great Vision: The Judaic-Christian Mysteries, as to the identity of
the shepherds who left the 'heavenly place of enlightenment' to enable
the human race to evolve: the Christ Brotherhood of Sirius.
"...Jesus of Nazareth, is historically one of those truly great
souls that we call Christs, Sons of God... It is said that his soul
achieved perfection in worlds other than our own, and that he is a
Great Initiate of the star system called Sirius, the evolution of
which is far beyond our own. From the great Christ Brotherhood of
Sirius, he came with two others on a special mission to our solar
system, entering it via the Sun, its heart, and then incarnating into
the coarse environment of our planetary sphere via the finer
environment of our twin planet, Venus. With these three Sirian
Initiates came their circles of disciples, 'picked up' en route; souls
associated with both the Sun and Venus, in which spheres they had
achieved certain levels of initiation, but who needed or chose to
undertake such a mission as this one to the planet Earth as part of
their next step in initiation...
"The mission of the Christ Jesus to our planet is one of
overseeing, inspiring, guiding and teaching the younger souls of
Earth's humanity throughout their whole conscious human evolution on
this planet, and helping to provide an evolutionary stimulus at
certain required times. By incarnating into the substance and
evolutionary chain of events of this planet, this great Teacher and
his company of Sages are able to experience and understand the
peculiarities of our human and planetary evolution, its pains and
joys, and by participating in it to truly love and teach others by
example and by close ties of friendship. As well as being examples of
the perfect life, they act as yeast in the dough of humanity. Such a
mission, in which spheres of beauty, harmony and illuminated peace are
deliberately left in order to live in and experience the ugliness,
inharmony and human injustice of our less evolved world, constitutes a
conscious, self-sacrifice in the Name of Love... The sacrifice of the
Venusian souls who came with Jesus is great, but not as great as the
Sun-souls who accompanied Jesus, and theirs is not nearly as great as
that of the Sirian Souls...
"The Ancient Wisdom Traditions teach us that these mighty souls
came to our planet approximately 18 million years ago, living in
aetheric bodies and inhabiting the land subsequently known as
Hyperborea ('the Land beyond the North Wind)... Establishing this area
as their principle home and temple, they then moved across the world
to other key areas in order to act as guides and teachers to the young
races of humanity. Young humanity was, at the time of this great
incarnation of 'God-men' and 'Sun-men', existing and evolving in areas
of the world known as Mu, the Motherland." - 902:38-9
The Great Bear and Little Bear, located in the sign of Cancer,
immediately precede the last sign of the so-called 'Biblical Zodiac',
Leo, the Lion, which, we are told, presages Christ in His final
victory over the Devil. Nowhere in Scripture is the sheepfold of Jesus
Christ compared to a bear; moreover, as sheep, they are warned about
the lion: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (I Pet. 5:8)
Rather than shepherds and sheepfolds of Jesus Christ, the bear and
lion of the Zodiac appear to be the Antichrist and his false religious
system.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which
I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a
BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a LION: and the dragon gave him
his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his
heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed:
and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the
dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast,
saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two
months. - Rev. 13:1-5
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for
you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did
flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and
leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. - Amos 5:19-20
THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY
SATANIC BLOODLINE OF THE ANTICHRIST & FALSE PROPHET
WILLIAM COOPER & THE THREE BEARS
MILTON WILLIAM COOPER
Lest our hypotheses appear to be wild speculations, the reader should
consider some biographical information on William Cooper.
William Cooper was an intelligence agent with the Office of Naval
Intelligence in Bethesda, MD. Following World War II, German
scientists were in great demand by all of the U.S. intelligence
agencies, which actually competed for their fair share of Nazi war
criminals! To meet this demand, the dossiers of Nazi scientists,
engineers, physicists, doctors, psychiatrists and intelligence agents
were sanitized in several operations, the most well-known and last
being Operation Paperclip; previously there were Operation Overcast,
and Operation Sunrise. Bethesda Naval Hospital would become the center
for CIA mind-control drug projects following WW II, according to
"Project Paperclip and the Nuremberg Trials Whitewash":
"Under the terms of [Project] Paperclip there was fierce competition
not only between the wartime allies but also between the various US
services - always the most savage form of combat. Curtis LeMay saw his
new-minted US Air Force as certain to prompt the navy's virtual
extinction and thought this process would be speeded if he were able
to acquire as many German scientists and engineers as possible. For
its part, the US Navy was equally eager to snare its measure of war
criminals. One of the first men picked up by the navy was a Nazi
scientist named Theordore Benzinger. Benzinger was an expert on
battlefield wounds, expertise he gained through explosive experiments
conducted on human subjects during the waning stages of World War II.
Benzinger ended up with a lucrative government contract working as a
researcher at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland." - 949
William Cooper credits his selection for this Nazi-infested
organization to his membership as a young adult in the DeMolay
Society, a branch of Freemasonry.
"The Knights Templar exist today as a higher degree of Freemasonry
within the Templar Order. In fact, the Knights Templar is a branch of
the Order of the Quest. The DeMolay Society is a branch of the
Freemasons that consecrates the memory of the persecution of the
Knights Templar and in particular, their leader Jacques deMolay. I
know, because I was a member of the DeMolay Society as a young adult.
I loved the mystery and ritual. I became separated from the Society
when my family moved to a location out of reach of any lodge. I
believe to this day that my association with the DeMolay Society may
have been the reason for my selection for Naval Security and
Intelligence." - 51:75
William Cooper's belief system, as stated in Behold a Pale Horse,
included the Holy Grail fiction and denial of the death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"One of the greatest secrets of the ages is the true story of the Holy
Grail, the robe of Jesus, the remains of the Cross of Crucifixion, and
whether Jesus actually died or if he survived and produced a child..."
- 51:75
In Behold a Pale Horse, William Cooper claimed that he actually knew
the location in France of the Holy Grail, which he strongly implied
includes the bones of Jesus!
"The Prieure de Sion was a religious order founded upon Mount Sion in
Jerusalem. The Order set for itself the goal of preserving and
recording the bloodline of Jesus and the House of David. Through every
means available to them, the Prieure de Sion had found and retrieved
the remaining relics... The treasure hidden in France is not the
treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem. It is the Holy Grail itself, the
robe of Jesus, the last remaining pieces of the Cross of Crucifixion,
and, according to my sources, someone's bones. I can tell you that the
reality of the bones will shake the world to its very foundations if I
have been told the truth. The relics are hidden in France. I know the
location..." (51:76)
William Cooper founded a newspaper which he called VERITAS.
"William Cooper, Trustee, has founded for Harvest Trust, the CAJI News
Service, VERITAS national full size newspaper, The Intelligence
Service, Harvest Publications, and has helped over 700 low power FM
affiliate stations get equipped and on the air... including the
station he manages as Trustee for the Independence Foundation Trust,
101.1 FM Eagar, Arizona, broadcasting to 7,000 people." (961)
According to Dagobert's Revenge, "It is significant, then, that
in...1188, the Prieuré de Sion...adopted the subtitle 'Order de la
Rose-Croix Veritas'." (963) Pierre Plantard used the word Veritas in
reference to the Prieuré de Sion and the Rosicrucians:
"1962. Robert Charroux, Treasures Of The World, containing chapters
devoted to the Abbé Bérenger Saunière and to the Order of the Knights’
Templar – the latter chapter referring to a painting of Saint
Celestine in adoration before a luminous apparition at the centre of
which was inscribed the word 'Veritas' (Plantard was to equate the
Priory of Sion with the Rosicrucians and the word Veritas)." (962)
On Cooper's website, Hour of the Time, is displayed the alchemical
symbol of the Nuda Veritas or the 'Naked Truth'.
Note that "Truth is at its center." According to "Freemasonry and
Religion" by David Brownback, "One of the first things that a newly
initiated brother learns is that 'Freemasonry is a system of morality
veiled in allegory and illustrated with symbols.' He also learns that
Truth is at its center." (616)
Cooper's logo is, in fact, a famous painting by the visionary artist,
Gustav Klimt of Vienna, Austria. Produced in 1899, Klimt's Nuda
Veritas [right], had a serpent at the feet of the woman which is
missing from Cooper's reproduction. Klimt belonged to "a secret lodge,
the Masonic Order of Visionaries." He was regarded as a true
visionary artist, or one who portrays through art his personal visions
of the 'divine light' and out of body experiences of 'union with the
Mother Goddess' i.e. sexual intercourse with demons.
William Cooper's Nuda Veritas, meaning the Naked Truth, is literally
the revelation of gnosis in the form of a woman. This pernicious
teaching was an ancient heresy that found its way into the early
church and was refuted by Irenaeus in his treatise, Against Heresies:
"Marcus, a student of Valentinus' (c. 150), says that a vision
'descended upon him...in the form of a woman... and expounded to him
alone its own nature, and the origin of things, which it had never
revealed to anyone, divine or human.' The presence then said to him,
'I wish to show you Truth herself, for I have brought her down from
above, so that you may see her without a veil, and understand her
beauty.'" (1057)
Elaine Pagels wrote in The Gnostic Gospels, "And that, Marcus adds, is
how 'the naked Truth' came to him in a woman's form, disclosing her
secrets to him. Marcus expects, in turn, that everyone whom he
initiates into gnosis will also receive such experiences. In the
initiation ritual, after invoking the spirit, he commands the
candidate to speak in prophecy, to demonstrate that the person has
received direct contact with the divine." (1057)
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there
shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious
ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. - 2
Pet. 2:1-2
Gustav Klimt's Nuda Veritas turns out to be Sophia, the female half of
Adam-Kadmon, the Divine Androgyne. Understanding of the alchemical
imagery of this painting is elucidated by an androgynous statue in the
cathedral of Nantes in France. We learned from a New Age source that
the fusion of male and female is the outcome of spiritual
transformation:
"...One alchemical symbol that is widely acknowledged by modern
scholars is that of an old bearded man, the back of whose head shows a
young woman looking into a mirror. A statue with this image graces the
exterior of Nantes cathedral, as does a bearded king with the body of
a woman, in the porch at Chartres that depicts the Queen of Sheba.
"The hermaphrodite is a pure alchemical symbol, representing the
perfect balance achieved in the Great Work, and the perfect being, in
which the alchemist himself is transformed and transmuted spiritually
- and, as many believe, physically as well. It was a 'consummation
devoutly to be wished' and had little, if anything, to do with
sexuality as we understand it today. The Great Work was an explosion
of the potential into the actual, where the mystical quest takes on
concrete form. As the alchemists said, 'as above, so below' - this
process was believed to make spirit into matter and transmute one sort
of matter into another. It made a man into a god." (1058)
The 'Great Work' is the union of the soul with the Divine by means of
sexual alchemy. This union, says the alchemist is not to be confused
with sexuality as we understand it today. Then what is it, pray tell?
A rather eerie New Age website, World Soul Media, carries an online
book titled Heavenly Partners: The Mystical Marriage Revealed, which
gives explicit details of the author's "daring and beautiful accounts
of the mystical marriage ceremony and the resultant alchemical fusion
of the author with the Theosophical Masters, by which the author
begins The Great Work - the transformational process of becoming an
Ascended Master while still on the physical plane." (1056:Intro)
Chapter 6 titled, "Sexual Alchemy: Tantra Yoga" features a side view
of the Divine Androgyne of Nantes while explaining its significance as
a Heavenly Partner fused with a human being:
"I believe fully that sexual alchemy is the key to...spiritual
union with the Heavenly Partners. Sexual alchemy is like the spiritual
equivalent of Tantra Yoga. It involves Swadhisthana chakra, by which
our minds become fused... The ancient, oriental alchemists said the
partners are 'inner plane beings,' and that they are the result of an
internal alchemical process that manifests them. The process involves
the psychic energy centers of the physical body and begins with a
blinding white light and the taste of ambrosia... In the inner
alchemical laboratory of my subtle body, the circulation of energy
begins when the Swadhisthana chakra is stimulated, releasing ching or
sexual energy. Ching combines with chi, at the heart region. Finally,
Ching and chi meet with shen in the head. When this happens, the
'ambrosia flows like saliva in the mouth' and the 'gold and silver
lights' are seen. The psychic inner lights of the Heavenly Partners,
now manifest, can always be seen. Alice Bailey called it
'externalization of the hierarchy.'...
"The Statue of Prudence at the tomb of Francois II in Nantes
Cathedral shows the Divine Androgyny, which I interpret to be the
Heavenly Partner and the human being. The statue shows an old man
residing at the back of the head of a young woman." (1056:6)
Today there are New Age books which instruct readers on how to have
sexual intercourse with spirits. The following promotional for Sexual
Alchemy: Magical Intercourse with Demons by Donald Tyson makes Jesus'
words in Matt. 24:37 a present reality:
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be. - Matt. 24:37
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the
earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the
daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all
which they chose. - Gen. 6:1
"Chances are that you've heard of Tantra and Taoist sexual practices.
Now, as a result of studying the inner mysteries of alchemy, Donald
Tyson presents a Western system of sacred sexuality in Sexual Alchemy.
Here you will learn how to have erotic relationships with loving
spirits. That means the methods presented here can function as a
Western alternative to Eastern sexual practices. They also can be used
by a solitary person and need not depend upon the participation of a
partner.
"The first part of this book presents a history of sex with
spirits. It also goes into the secrets of Eastern internal alchemy and
how the books of Western alchemy often made secretive references to
sexual magick. You will also learn how to create a physical
representation of the spirit you are going to use as a partner.
"The second part of the book includes the practices and
techniques which the author found to be effective from other sources
or developed himself. This includes techniques of diet, exercise,
breathwork, banishings, purifications, and finally, an invocation
ritual to summon the spirit who is going to be your lover!
"Then you will learn the previously hidden secrets of having sex
with a spirit lover. You''ll learn how to prepare and recognize the
signs that this is an actual occurrence and not simply a fantasy. And
then, when you have accomplished your ritualized mating, you will
learn how to collect and use the resulting, highly charged fluids for
magical purposes.
"Everything we are, everything we have, is a gift from the
Divine. Doesn't it make sense that we use all of our abilities to
honor the source from which they came? That means we can even make use
of our sensual natures to honor the Gods. If you want to follow a
system based on Western traditions, this book can be your guide."
(1056)
The Underground Streams website speaks of an extraterrestrial Current
that would one day mate with human beings:
"[Aleister] Crowley was aware of the possibility of opening the
spatial gateways and of admitting an extraterrestrial Current in the
human life-wave... In the new aeon, a race will be propagated of
magically generated beings able to probe extraterrestrial dimensions.
And the next stage in the advancement of evolution on the planet 'will
be achieved by a willed congress [sexual intercourse] with
extraterrestrial entities of which, in a sense, Aiwaz (Aleister
Crowley's Guardian Angel) is the immediate messenger to humanity.'"
(379)
A "willed congress" with extraterrestrials is called a sacred marriage
or alchemical wedding, which unites a human being with Lucifer under
the guise of returning the soul to its former androgynous state:
"According to Gnostic teachings "the soul is a female (the Greek word
for soul, psyche, is feminine). Originally she is a virgin,
androgynous in form, living in the presence of the heavenly Father.
When she falls into a body, however, she is defiled; after abandoning
her Father's house and her virginity, she falls into sexuality and
prostitution, and is abused by the wanton adulterers of this carnal
world. Desolate and repentant, she prays to her Father for
restoration, and he hears her prayer. She is returned to her former
condition, and restored to androgynous union with her brother. This
union is achieved through spiritual marriage; the bridegroom comes
down to the bridal chamber, and the soul and her bridegroom 'become a
single life', inseparable from each other. Thus the ascent of the soul
to the Father is accomplished, and the soul is again at home in
heaven." William C. Robinson, Jr., in The Nag Hammadi Library (1057)
WILLIAM COOPER & THE 3 BEARS
The previous sections presented compelling evidence that the father of
William Cooper is none other than the late Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Clair, former Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion. Since the
intelligence agencies specialize in the creation of false identities
for their spies, and Cooper served for many years as an agent of the
U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence, it is entirely plausible that that
the biographical material presented in William Cooper in his book,
Behold a Pale Horse, is a bogus profile. There are, however, in
Cooper's book many subtle clues which would communicate the author's
true identity to the “initiated”— those who are well-versed in the
symbolic language of the occult and are looking for the man who will
lead mankind in its final stand against Jesus Christ.
The Foreword to William Cooper's book, Behold a Pale Horse, cleverly
conveys vital information pertaining to the astrological profile of
the Antichrist and False Prophet—that of the of the bear god.
Rosicrucian symbolism represents Jehovah as a bear. According to Peter
Dawkins esoteric book, Arcadia: The Ancient Egyptian Mysteries, “Ursa
Major and Ursa Minor are the celestial signs, or symbols, of I.O.A.”
[The latter abbreviation is Jehovah sans vowels.] The word bear, as
shown in the Plantard Family Crest, is an Anglo-Saxon derivative from
the Latin word fera meaning wild beast, water beast and sea bear.
Also, “a plantigrade animal [is] one that walks or steps on the sole
of the foot, as man, and the bears.” (Webster's Dictionary, 1913)
In the Holy Bible, God has also given His people clues as to the
identity of the Beast that will rise up as the Antichrist.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a BEAST rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which
I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a
BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him
his power, and his seat, and great authority. - Revelation 13:1
We turn now to William Cooper's book, Behold a Pale Horse, for some
amazing clues as to Cooper's identity. The following are photos and
excerpts found in the Foreword:
“My paternal grandfather's family...were on the front line during the
Oklahoma land rush and succeeded in staking out 320 acres on BIG BEAR
CREEK near what would eventually become Enid.” (p.8)
“Connie...has grown to be so much a part of me that even now I
sometimes get a feeling to look behind me to see if that little girl
is still there. I feel a great loss when I see that it's only
SUGARBEAR, my faithful dog; but then, I love him too, so I can't
complain.” (p.13)
“Annie and POOH (Dorothy's nickname) are the lights in my life. Annie
and I were married on July 4, 1989. Pooh was born on May 30, 1990...
POOH is my always and forever friend.” (p. 31)
COOPER GIVING POOH A "BEAR HUG"
MAMA BEAR & PAPA BEAR
MAMA BEAR
According to William Cooper, his mother's name was “Dovie” and her
family came to the United States from Scotland, a major Merovingian
stronghold:
“My mother's family came from Scotland and settled in North
Carolina.... I never knew much about my mother's family... My mother
was one of those chosen to live in a children's home...
“My mother is a real Southern lady. They used to call her kind a
Southern belle. She is one of the last of a dying breed. DOVIE Nell
(Woodside) Cooper is the type of woman that men like to dream about
when they're lonely. She is the kindest, gentlest, woman that I have
ever known.” (William Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse, p.8,11)
The name “Dovie” has great esoteric significance. The messiah of the
Rosicrucians is not Jesus Christ but St. John, whose name is
considered synonymous with Jehovah. According to Peter Dawkins, the
shortened form of Jehovah (I.O.A.) also means “Dove”! Furthermore, the
Hebrew word for Dove (Dôveh) “is directly associated with Dohver, a
'sheepfold', and with Dôhv, a 'bear'” and “I.O.A. is represented by
all these symbols—eagle, dove, sheepfold, bear.”! On top of all these
coincidences, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are the celestial signs of
I.O.A. or Jehovah (aka Dove):
“[Rosicrucian] emblems depict Jehovah as an eagle with protective
wings outstretched: cryptically alluding to St. John (whose symbol is
an eagle), whose name is derived from the same sacred vowels—I.O.A.—as
JIHOVAH.
“I.O.A., as in Iona, also means 'DOVE' - the Holy Ghost that
brings divine Light into the world of material manifestation.
Furthermore, as the symbol of the Dove is derived from the Hebraic
word Dôveh, meaning rest, strength, security, plenteousness, peace'
(which is the description of I.O.A.), and as this word is directly
associated with Dohver, a 'sheepfold', and with Dôhv, a 'bear', I.O.A.
is represented by all these symbols—eagle, dove, sheepfold, bear. Ursa
Major and Ursa Minor are the celestial signs, or symbols, of I.O.A.;
thus the eagle in the emblems, or Jehovah in the motto, can be
translated as the Great or Little Bear, referring again to Arcadia and
the Arcadians, to the Ancient British race...” (Peter Dawkins,
Arcadia: The Ancient Egyptian Mysteries, 889:122)
“My ancestors came from England, Scotland and Ireland.” (William
Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse, p.7)
Peter Dawkins of the Francis Bacon Research Trust, leads "Bull and
Europa Pilgrimages: A coordinated series of geomantic pilgrimages
within the landscape of Europe." Dawkins' interpretation of Europa
and the Bull (Zeus/Jupiter) transposes the traditional interpretation
so that Europa stands for Great Britain and the Bull is Europe. From
this premise, Dawkins extrapolates that the Bull (Europe) represents
the Grail King and Europa (Britain) represents the Grail Queen:
"Europe takes its name from the myth of Europa and the Bull. Whereas
the islands of Britain, Ireland and Scotland together constitute the
landscape of Europa, the mainland of Europe forms the landscape of the
Bull.
"The Bull is the symbolic incarnatory form or vehicle of Jupiter, the
divine Father of Light, equivalent to the Grail King. Europa, the
Dove, is the symbolic incarnatory form of Maia, the Grail Queen and
Mother of Mercury, the golden child of light." (988)
“Dovie” was known for her gentleness and fierce loyalty to her family,
which like the bear, she would defend to the death:
“My mother...could be so tough and yet so kind, gentle, and loving all
at the same time. Woe to anyone who ever harms my dad or one of her
children in her presence.” (William Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse, p.11)
“Moon-goddesses often have association with Bears. Bear is like the
Primal Mother, and will defend her cubs against all forces to the
death.” (978)
In ancient paganism, God was female—the Great Mother Goddess. She was
also called the Dove Goddess and Lady of Transformation, according to
“The Johannite Legend of the Templars”...
“In Ice Age art the Great Goddess or Great Mother is responsible
not only for life and death but also for regeneration. It is no
coincidence that the esoteric number for woman is four; just as in the
Christian Trinity, the idea of the Great Goddess in three of her
aspects—Maiden, Mother and Crone—cuts across history. Her fourth and
less well known aspect, the Dove Goddess, makes her the Lady of
Transformation...
“Worship of the divinity continued from the Paleolithic era...
“The Great Mother exemplified natural generative forces of the
belly or womb of the earth, the cave of subterranean darkness. As the
Great Goddess, she is not per se a mother or a fertility deity; she
has a far wider concept—that of Cosmic Creatrix. For Stone Age people,
God was female... Caves, crevasses, and caverns are natural
manifestations of the primordial womb of the Universal Mother, and the
art of the deep recesses of the earth seems to be dedicated to her in
much the same way that cathedrals such as Chartres are consecrated to
the Virgin Mary.” (141:2-3,306)
That the Great Mother Goddess was also called the Dove Goddess and
Lady of Transformation is revealing. The New Age has long been
referred to in the occult the Age of the Holy Spirit or simply the Age
of the Spirit. During the Age of the Spirit, the institutional Church
will give way to a more spiritual form of worship, focusing less on
doctrine and more on experiences ascribed to the Holy Spirit. This
explains the present overemphasis on the Holy Spirit in portions of
Pentecostalism, with their attendant signs and lying wonders. And in
some Charismatic and Pentecostal circles, the 'Spirit' that is being
invoked has usurped the exalted position that rightfully belongs
exclusively to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Another heresy that is being introduced through the Messianic/ Hebrew
Roots Movement claims that the Holy Spirit is female. This false
doctrine is a direct attempt to substitute the occult trinity of
“father, mother and son” for the Biblical Trinity of Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. According to Thomas Friend, the author of Fallen Angel:
The Untold Story of Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin, on the inner cover of
the Led Zeppelin IV album, which introduced Stairway to Heaven, there
is found a statement of this group's belief in the occult trinity.
Notice that the mother in the Qabalistic trinity is called the Dove:
"Horus the Hawk, the son in the Qabalistic trinity. This is on
the Led Zeppelin IV inner album cover mountain. Note the small crown
on top of the head. The eye is below it to the right, and the beak is
to the right of the eye. Coming down the neck toward the shoulder of
the right wing, the extension of the right wing is folded under the
shoulder. The father and mother in the Qabalistic trinity are on the
top of the mountain, the Hermit and the Dove...
"...the mountain top, Hermit is the Devil himself." (Copyright -
Atlantic Records) (982:198,386)
Thomas Friend, once a Led Zeppelin devotee but now a born-again
Christian, later refutes the pagan concept of a female Holy Spirit.
“The logical conclusion then, is that these occultists are in error
when applying a feminine singular to the Hebrew Godhead. They also
say that the 'Mother' in their Qabalistic trinity is the Holy Spirit
in the Bible. They use the Holy Spirit as presented in scripture to
represent the other (this is the dove that the Hermit is standing on
at the top of the mountain on the inner cover of Led Zeppelin's fourth
album). Conversely, this is what the Lord Jesus Christ had to say
about the Holy Spirit to his disciples, just before he was crucified:
'I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.'”
(John 16:12-13) The Lord Jesus Christ presents him as masculine.
(982:214)
In his expose of Led Zeppelin, Friend wrote about the direct appeals
of this rock band to recruit bond slaves for Satan. One song, stated
Friend, “...Dazed and Confused contains a two-part command from Robert
Plant to the listener to sell his or her soul to the Devil.” Robert
Plant, presumably of the Plantard bloodline, wrote the lyrics to
"Stairway to Heaven"—a blend of Celtic/Druid rock music and
mythology—which is considered the most popular rock song of all time.
Plant's lyrics are loaded with Celtic, Druidic and Black Sabbath
symbolism, Arthurian lore, specific allusions to Tolkein's Lord of the
Rings, and detailed instructions on how to make a pact with the Devil.
More than one analysis of Led Zeppelin's music has speculated that
Stairway to Heaven is really the Stairway to Tolkein's Middle Earth.
PAPA BEAR
“I was born May 6, 1943. I was reared in a military family. My father
is USAF Lt. Col. (Ret.) Milton V. Cooper. He prefers to be called
Jack, the nickname given to him by the family when he was a boy...”
(William Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse, p.8)
American readers will know that “Jack” is a nickname for “John”—not
Milton! But few readers know that “John” (Fr. Jean) is the adopted
name of all Grand Masters of the Prieuré de Sion. According to Holy
Blood, Holy Grail,
"After 1188 [the Prieuré de] Sion is said to have chosen a grand
master of its own, the first of them being Jean de Gisors. According
to the 'Prieuré documents' every grand master, on assuming his
position, had adopted the name Jean (John)—or, since there were four
women, Jeanne (Joan). Sion's grand masters are therefore alleged to
have comprised a continuous succession of Jeans and Jeannes, from 1188
to the present. This succession was clearly intended to imply an
esoteric and Hermetic papacy based on John, in contrast (and perhaps
opposition) to the exoteric one based on Peter.
"One major question, of course, was which John. John the Baptist?
John the Evangelist—the 'Beloved Disciple' in the Fourth Gospel? Or
John the Divine, author of the Book of Revelation? It clearly seemed
to be one of these three because Jean de Gisors in 1188 had
purportedly taken the title of Jean II. Who, then, was Jean I?"
(31:159)
The following is Cooper's description of his father:
“Now I love my Dad. He is my friend. He is an independent, gregarious,
feisty, tough, confident, adventurous, sometimes overbearing,
handsome, BIG BEAR of a man.” (William Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse,
p.10)
At this point it is not unreasonable to hypothesize that Cooper's
description of his father as a “big bear of a man” may be a cryptic
allusion to Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair being the Great Bear.
BABY BEAR
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide
Arcturus with his sons? - Job 38:32
Bible commentaries seem to agree that this verse is a reference to the
constellation of the Great Bear. “In the King James Bible (Job 9:9;
38:32) it is translation of the Hebrew word 'Ayish (ash),' which
probably means the constellation the Great Bear.” (977)
This Hebrew word ash/Ayish in Job 38:32 actually means bier, which is
a coffin or the stand upon which a coffin is placed.
“The Hebrew word ash or Ayish in the Book of Job, ix, 9, and xxxviii,
32, supposed to refer to the square in this constellation as a bier,
not a bear, was translated Arcturus by St. Jerome in the Vulgate...”
(978:169)
Is this another aspect of Arthur's Wain which rotates slowly around
the North Pole as a continuous funeral procession?
“The Bier and Great Coffin were other titles [of the Great Bear]. In
other traditions the Seven Stars are a bier followed by mourners, as
in the Arabic Banat Na'ash al Kubra,'the Daughters of the Great Bier',
the Mourners; they saw the constellation as a funeral procession,
attributing this title to the slow and solemn motion of the figure
around the pole, with the stars of the Dipper as the coffin and the
handle as mourners. Arabian Christians identified them as 'the Bier of
Lazarus' and it was thought that the tradition possibly arose from the
slow and solemn motion of the figure around the pole. The Skidi
Pawnees saw it as a stretcher with a sick man on it.”
In the tail of Great Bear Constellation are found three stars—Alioth,
Alcor-Mizar and Alkaid. According to Hastings' Dictionary of the
Bible, these stars are the sons of the Great Bear.
“[In] the well-known constellation of the Great Bear...or Ayish...the
'sons' of Ayish are spoken of in Job 38:32, and are regarded as the
three stars in the tail of the bear...” (James Hastings, A Dictionary
of the Bible, “Astronomy and Astrology”) - 974:191
THE GREAT BEAR CONSTELLATION (URSA MAJOR)
Of these stars, Alcor and Mizar are a double star or twins.
“MIZAR (Zeta Ursae Majoris). One of the most famed stars of the sky,
second magnitude (2.27) Mizar, 78 light years away, is the Zeta star
of Ursa Major, the Greater Bear, the second star in from the end of
the handle of the Big Dipper, and the Dipper's fourth brightest star.
In large part its fame comes from the coupling of the star with a
nearby visual companion, fourth magnitude Alcor, only 12 minutes of
arc (a fifth of a degree) to the northeast. The two, Mizar and Alcor,
termed the 'horse and rider' by the Arabians, are a good test of
minimal vision. The star's Arabic name derives from a word meaning
'the groin' of the celestial Bear that plods silently around the north
celestial pole (the name mistakenly drawn from Merak, in the Dipper's
bowl).” - 975
Employing the Hermetic axiom "as above, so below" based on the
knowledge that Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair was the earthly
representation of the Great Bear at this pivotal point in the occult
calendar, who would be the sons of Arcturus?
Alioth - William Cooper
Mizar - Ron (twin brother of Connie)
Alkaid - Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair (son of Ronnie and Connie)
“ALKAID (Eta Ursae Majoris). Though the name may not be so well known,
the star certainly is, as Alkaid is the end star in the handle of the
Big Dipper, the great asterism that makes most of the grand
constellation Ursa Major, the Greater Bear... Alkaid's Arabic name
means 'the leader'...” - 975
See: Antichrist in Virgo
In the Plantard family crest there are two bears, signifying Ursa
Major and Ursa Minor, the constellations of the Great Bear and Little
Bear. From ancient times, these constellations were used to navigate
the high seas. Because they rotated around the North Pole like hands
around a clock, they served as clocks to nocturnal travelers. Edgar
Allen Poe called them 'star dials' in his arcane poem, Ulalume:
“Both of these [bears] have been—and perhaps still are—night
clocks to the English rustic, and measures of time generally, as in
Poe's Ulalume, 'star-dials that pointed to morn.'...
“Its well-known use by the early Greeks in navigation was
paralleled in the deserts of Arabia 'through which' according to
Diodorus the Sicilian, 'travelers direct their course by the bears, in
the same manner as is done at sea.'” - 927:430
Excerpt from Ulalume
Our talk had been serious and sober,
But our thoughts they were palsied and sere—
Our memories were treacherous and sere—
For we knew not the month was October,
And we marked not the night of the year—
(Ah, night of all nights in the year!)
We noted not the dim lake of Auber—
(Though once we had journeyed down here)—
We remembered not the dank tarn of Auber,
Nor the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir.
And now, as the night was senescent
And star-dials pointed to morn—
As the star-dials hinted of morn— (981)
THE GREAT BEAR
The Hermetic axiom "as above, so below" is the supreme principle
governing the belief system and practices of the occult. Since man is
a microcosm of the macrocosmos, whatever occurs in the heavens is
regarded as the blueprint of the gods for man's activity on earth.
Occultists strive to conform their pagan rituals, leading personages,
sacred sites, occult objects and calendar of events to the heavenly
blueprint as interpreted by their adepts and masters. These deluded
souls believe that scrupulous attention to the Hermetic axiom, "as
above, so below," will bring about the global transformation which
Lucifer has promised them. The Temple of the Dark Moon, an Australian
organization dedicated to "providing information on Paganism (in
particular Wicca and Wytchcraft), as well as the practices of magick
and other occultic arts", explains the occult concept "as above, so
below":
“This phrase comes from the beginning of 'The Emerald Tablet' and
embraces the entire system of traditional and modern magick which was
inscribed upon the tablet in cryptic wording by Hermes Trismegistus...
The significance of this phrase is that it is believed to hold the key
to all mysteries. All systems of magick are claimed to function by
this formula. 'That which is above is the same as that which is below
- macrocosmos is the same as microcosmos. The Universe is the same as
God, God is the same as man, man is the same as the cell, the cell is
the same as the atom, the atom is the same as … and so on, ad
infinitum.'
“This message theorises that man is the counterpart of God on Earth;
as God is man's counterpart in heaven. Therefore, it is a statement of
an ancient belief that man's actions on Earth parallel the actions of
God in heaven. This pivots on the belief that 'all things have their
birth from this one thing by adaptation'...
“The purpose of all rituals in ceremonial magick is to unite the
microcosm with the macrocosm to join God, or Gods when invoked, with
the human consciousness. When such a supreme union is achieved the
subject and object becomes one. This is because the magickian feels
that he is consciously in touch with all elements of the Universe,
therefore, he or she can control them. It may be said, the magickian
feels connected with the Universe. This feeling intensifies the more
the magickian successfully practices his or her skills. Whenever he
experiences a failure, he or she knows that the ritual was not
performed correctly.” (976)
Astrology is the Hermetic science of religiously modeling phenomena on
the earth below to a pattern that exists in the heavens above. This
accounts for the mythology of ancient pagan belief systems which
depict an epic narrative of the ancient gods of Atlantis—the
antediluvian civilization which God judged in Genesis 7—whose home was
believed by pagan cultures to be in the stars. The pictures found
today in the zodiac were not invented by the Greeks, but were in place
perhaps as early as 4000 B.C. predating even the civilizations of
Sumeria. False teachers such as D. James Kennedy, E.W. Bullinger and
Joseph Seiss have suggested that there is a Biblical message in the
stars, viz., that the zodiac is a pictorial story of God's plan of
salvation on earth. Yet Kennedy et al reveal their true colors when
they identify the key to understanding the celestial zodiac, which
they claim presents the message of salvation, is found in ancient
depictions of the Great Sphinx of Egypt. For Scripture states
concerning Egypt:
But he shall not...cause the people to return to Egypt...forasmuch as
the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that
way. Deut. 17:16
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and
trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because
they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel,
neither seek the LORD! Isaiah 31:1
The most important of the stellar constellations is Ursa Major, the
Great Bear. From time immemorial it seems that star worshippers have
revered the bear as a god, probably applying the Hermetic axiom in
their religious life. King Arthur of the Celtic legend—who in real
life was Clovis I, the first Frankish monarch—was the earthly
representation of the Great Bear constellation. Since Arthur means
bear, this legend appears to have derived from the ancient worship of
the bear:
“The Celts had two goddesses that took the form of the Bear: Andarta
('powerful bear') and Artio. In other cultures there are the bear god
Artaois, Ardeche, or Arthe. Their names are both from 'Art' which
means 'Bear, stone, or God.' There are also many place names called
Artos or Arth. Images of the god Artio have been found in Berne (Bear
City), Switzerland, which has its 'den of bears' which was used by the
Bear cultists. King Arthur (a form of Artios or Artiaus, a great god
of antiquity) is associated with Bear in that his name comes from the
constellation of the Great Bear, which was also known as 'Arthur's
Wain/Arthur's Plow.' Midwinter is the time of Alban Arthuan/The Light
of Arthur and the Winter's Soltice. The Winter's Soltice is the
longest night of the year, and people called upon the constellation of
the Great Bear to light their way in the darkness. Soltices and
Equinoxs were performed at Stonehenge. The Bear is also thought to be
ruled by the planet Mars. Ancient traditions help us discover our
ancestral roots.” 979
Cecil Rhodes derived his concept of the Round Table from the Celtic
legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. In
particular, Rhodes was inspired by Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem Morte
d'Arthur which is a poetic account of King Arthur's death, a portion
of which is reprinted below.
I perish by this people which I made, -
Tho' Merlin sware that I should come again
To rule once more - but let what will be, be,
I am so deeply smitten thro' the helm
That without help I cannot last till morn...
Then loudly cried the bold Sir Bedivere,
"Ah! my Lord Arthur, whither shall I go?
Where shall I hide my forehead and my eyes?
For now I see the true old times are dead,
When every morning brought a noble chance,
And every chance brought out a noble knight.
Such times have been not since the light that led
The holy Elders with the gift of myrrh.
But now the whole Round Table is dissolved
Which was an image of the mighty world..."
And slowly answer'd Arthur from the barge:
"The old order changeth, yielding place to new,
And God fulfils Himself in many ways...
But now farewell. I am going a long way . . .
Where I will heal me of my grievous wound."
According to legend, Arthur was borne to the heavens on a celestial
barge, alternately called Arthur's Chariot and Arthur's Wain (Wagon).
King Arthur is the 'once and future king': “Tho' Merlin sware that I
should come again, To rule once more...”
"In his great 15th century epic Morte D'Arthur, Thomas Malory tells a
different legend of Arthur's epitaph. Arthur's life in Morte D'Arthur
ends at Glastonbury; his burial is witnessed by Sir Bedevere and a
hermit 'that sometime was bishop of Canterbury'. 'Yet some men say in
many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but had by the
will of Our Lord Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall
come again, and he shall win the Holy Cross. Yet I will not say that
it shall be so; but rather I would say, here in this world he changed
his life. But many men say that there is written upon the tomb this:
HIC IACET ARTHURUS, REX QUONDAM REXQUE FUTURUS - 'Here lies Arthur,
the once and future king'." - 831
More recently, in 1958, a book titled Once and Future King was written
by T.H. White to revive Arthurian lore in anticipation that the
ancient king would one day return. Arthur's barque sailed to the
location of the Great Bear constellation, whence he shall return in
the person of the Antichrist.
“'King Arthur, the renowned hero of the Mabinogion, typified the Great
Bear; as his name—Arth, bear, and Uthyr, wonderful—implies in the
Welsh language; and the constellation, visibly describing a circle in
the North Polar regions of the sky, may possibly have been the true
origin of the Son of Pendragon's famous Round Table, the earliest
institution of a military order of knighthood.' Whatever may be the
fact in this speculation, we know that the early English placed King
Arthur's home here and that the people of Great Britain long called it
Arthur's Chariot or Wain...” (William Henry Smyth, Speculum
Hartwellianum) - 927:425
Arthur's son, Modred, was the Guardian of the Grail, the offspring of
Arthur's 'sacred marriage' rite with his half-sister, Morgaine.
Arthur, whose name means bear, is believed to be sleeping as the bears
who hibernate during winter.
“The legend of Arthur sleeping in an underground cave, waiting for his
day of awakening, is like the life of a Bear that hibernates in the
winter in a sort of suspended animation, as its bodily temperature
falls to conserve calories.” 979
It is recently reported that a super-volcano is expected to erupt in
Yellowstone National Park, a location which is known for its
population of bears. Ironically, in one news report the super-volcano
is likened to a hibernating bear.
“...the Yellowstone Super-Volcano was 20,000 years past due. Let us
review that story:
“NEWS BRIEF: 'Super Volcanoes: Satellites Eye Deadly Hot Spots',
Space.com, 07 August 2001
“... no one can say if or when it might become dangerously active.
If a volcano is like a hibernating bear, however, then it may well be
volcanic springtime in Yellowstone. Super explosions, about 1,000
times more material erupted than Mt. St. Helens in 1980, happen about
every 600,000 years at Yellowstone,' Wicks says. 'And it's been about
620,000 years since the last super explosive eruption there.”
(Space.com)
We have documented in our report, Heeding Bible Prophecy, that the
U.S. military is capable of awakening volcanoes with electromagnetic
weaponry. Volcanoes are believed to be portals to the lost continents
of Lemuria and Atlantis. Coleridge portrayed the god Typhon as a
volcano erupting from Hell. It is possible that the planned awaking of
the super-volcano in Yellowstone National Park will one of many
environmental events announcing the coming of Arthur, the Once and
Future King, returning to the earth in the person of the Antichrist.
As above, so below.
THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY
SATANIC BLOODLINE OF THE ANTICHRIST & FALSE PROPHET
THE FALSE PROPHET
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two
horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the
power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them
which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was
healed. Rev. 13:11-12
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matt. 7:15
In the false 'Gospel in the Stars', the 'first sign, Virgo, represents
the protevangelium, that 'the seed of the woman would destroy the seed
of the serpent. The final four signs--Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and
Leo--all represent the consummation of all things, when the Promised
Seed will actually come to destroy the seed of the serpent. Certain
stars in these astrological signs are claimed to portray the Promised
Seed shepherding his flock of sheep until the final consummation of
all things. The following synopsis of the 'Gospel in the Stars'
fallacy is found on the Prophecy Central website. Note the extensive
imagery of the Shepherd leading and protecting his Sheepfold:
"The first four signs [of the Zodiac] would prefigure the person, work
and triumph of the illustrious Redeemer.
“Virgo, the Virgin, is the first sign. She has an ear of wheat in
one hand and a branch in the other. The wheat is actually seed, and
symbolizes the 'seed of the woman.' The branch is a familiar Old
Testament name for the Messiah. The same woman is seen in the first
Decan of this sign, Coma, holding a baby, the Branch, or the Desire of
Nations. The next Decan in this group is Centaurus, a half-horse,
half-man. This could represent the child who is born, having two
natures: being both God and man. The last Constellation in this Sign
is Bootes, or Arcturus, who is the Great Shepherd and Harvester.
Together these images seem to portray, as in the Bible, the virgin
birth of a child who has two natures, and the role of that child when
he is grown as The Great Shepherd, leading His flock...
"The last four signs make the most sense if they stand for the final
consummation of all things. This section would then foretell the
coming judgments on the earth and the glorious outcome of Christ's
reign.
“Taurus, the Bull, is an angry, rushing animal, which would be a
meaningful symbol of God delivering His wrath during the Tribulation.
The Decans are Orion, Eridanus, and Auriga. Orion is the
warrior-prince with a sword on his side and his foot on the hare or
serpent. Eridanus, the torturous River, is the River of Judgment
belonging to Orion. Auriga, the Shepherd, is a picture of a powerful
shepherd-king who tenderly holds a she-goat and two little goats in
his left arm. This could be a picture of The Lord's comfort of the
persecuted believers of this coming period of judgment.
“Gemini, The Twins, are two human figures seated together in
loving closeness. This could portray the Marriage of the Lamb. The
Decans are Lepus, Canis Major, and Canis Minor. Lepus is the mad hare,
the enemy under Orion's feet. Canis Major, Sirius, the Great Dog could
prefigure the Prince coming in His glory. Then Canis Minor, Procyon,
The Second Dog, would be his princely following.
“Cancer the Crab is the figure of a crab, in the act of taking and
holding on with its pincers. This could be a picture of the victorious
King of Kings when He returns, and the Decans, Ursa Minor, the Lesser
Bear, Ursa Major the Greater Bear, and Argo, could picture His
privileged followers. Ursa Minor could also mean the lesser sheepfold,
and stand for the first-born who will be rulers, and Ursa Major could
be the greater sheepfold, the ones born later. Argo, the Ship, brings
the weary travelers home from their toils and travels.
“Leo, the Lion might easily picture Christ in His final victory
over the Devil. All three of the Decans point to the destruction of
the enemy, pictured as a serpent. Hydra, the fleeing Serpent, is about
to be pounced upon by the lion. Crater, the Bowl of Wrath, is placed
on the serpent. And Corvus, the Raven, the bird of doom, is also on
the serpent, devouring his carcass." (850)
Prophecy Central, D. James Kennedy, E.W. Bullinger et al would have
Christians believe that the Great Bear and Little Bear constellations
are representative of God's sheepfolds. A distinction is even made
between two classes of sheep: a little fold of 'first-born who will be
rulers' and a greater fold which follows them. In the course of our
research, we happened upon the website of the Mystery of
Rennes-le-Château, the French village where Merovingians claim to have
discovered evidence disproving the Biblical origins of Christianity.
An article on this website titled “Francis Bacon & The Arcadian
Academy” provided a revelation of the esoteric meaning of Ursa Major
and Ursa Minor:
“According to Peter Dawkins, in his book on the English Arcadian
Academy;
“Arcadia was presided over by shepherds, and Pan was the great God
of Arcadia…arcadia comes from the word Arcas – the son of Zeus &
Callisto. Callisto is the Great Bear & Arcas is the Little Bear in
astronomical terms, and in Greek Mythology. These stars circumnavigate
the North Pole Star – which esoterically is the symbol of high
Kingship... the Bear is a ‘veil’ to a real name, which means shepherd.
It is where the sheep (ie initiates) and shepherds (adepts & Masters)
come from...” (573)
The final sentence is the key that unlocks the meaning of this sign:
“...the Bear is a ‘veil’ to a real name, which means shepherd. It is
where the sheep (ie initiates) and shepherds (adepts & Masters) come
from...”
Initiates? Adepts & Masters? This discovery seemed so significant that
we purchased the $50 book cited by Hamblett—Arcadia: The Ancient
Egyptian Mysteries by Peter Dawkins—hoping to learn more. We were not
disappointed. Dawkins' explanation of the esoteric meaning of the
Great and Little Bear constellations was worth the price of the book:
“Associated in esoteric knowledge with this role of high kingship is
the symbol of the North Pole Star - the 'crown of the world - and the
circumpolar constellations. Of these, the Lesser and the Greater Bear
are the most important: the former providing the present North Pole
Star. The 'Bear' is a veil to the real name, which means 'Dove', or
'Sheepfold', or 'Chariot'. As the Chariot, it is Arthur's vehicle of
manifestation, as also the fiery chariot on which Elijah ascended to
heaven. Hence Arthur is known as 'the Bear'. As the Sheepfold, it is
the heavenly place of peace and enlightenment that Jesus spoke of, to
which the 'sheep' (i.e. initiates) of mankind are led, and from which
the 'shepherds' (i.e. the adepts and masters) come from. As the Dove,
it is known as the vehicle of the Holy Spirit, by means of which that
Spirit descends to the earth and governs its kingdom. It is signified
by the royal crown of a High King (i.e. a crown with arches) - a halo
of light which descends upon a truly worthy and anointed (i.e.
illuminated) soul, bestowing full knowledge of Truth. The Great Bear
is known as the mother of the Little Bear, which is her son. The
Rampant Bear and Ragged Staff emblem...depicts just this - the Bear
constellation tied to the Pole of the earth's axis, and dancing around
it.” (889:80)
There you have it, the real meaning of Sheepfold in astrology: “As the
Sheepfold, it is the heavenly place of peace and enlightenment that
Jesus spoke of, to which the 'sheep' (i.e. initiates) of mankind are
led, and from which the 'shepherds' (i.e. the adepts and masters) come
from.” Although Dawkins credits Jesus Christ with this pagan concept,
it is foreign to Jesus' teaching. Nowhere in chapter 10 of John's
gospel, or anywhere else in Scripture, does Jesus refer to His sheep
as 'initiates', 'adepts' or 'masters'. As a matter of fact, He is
recorded in Matthew 23 as saying, "Neither be ye called masters; for
one is your Master, even Christ." As for the trustworthiness of adepts
and masters who are lead the initiates entrusted to them, let us not
forget the words of Albert Pike, who stated in Morals & Dogma that
Masonic initiates are intentionally misled by the adepts and masters:
“Part of the symbols [of Freemasonry] are displayed there to the
initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It
is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended that
he shall imagine that he shall understand them. Their true explication
is reserved for the Adepts, the princes of Masonry.” (155:819)
False prophets and teachers know that sheep are very much herd
animals. By way of warning about bad companions, this writer's father
used to tell the story of the 'Judas goat'. Before they slaughter the
sheep, meat packers train an old goat to lead the sheep out of the pen
and down a chute into the slaughter house. At the last moment, the
Judas goat is allowed to escape by a side-gate while the sheep go to
the slaughter. False prophets are like Judas goats who are
strategically placed to lead God's sheep to the slaughter, for Jesus
said that the final end of deceived sheep is destruction. He also
warned that deceivers would present themselves as Christians,
affecting a disposition ever so meek and mild (like sheep), however,
in reality such deceivers are a species more dangerous than goats;
they are wolves!
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in
thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false
prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves. - Matt. 7:13-15
The notorious German Thule Society, which Hitler joined in 1919, was
founded by the followers of Jorg Lanz Von Liebenfels and Guido von
List. Lanz was "formerly a Cistercian monk whom the Roman Church
excommunicated because of his homosexual activities." (1029) List was
"a close associate of Lanz who formed an elitist priesthood called the
Armanen Order, to which Hitler may have belonged." In a penetrating
analysis of the occult origin of Nazi Aryanism, authors of The Pink
Swastika, Kevin Abrams and Scott Lively, implicate the Thule Society
of empowering 'initiates' with supernatural powers for eugenics
purposes:
“The Nazi dream of an Aryan super-race was adopted from an occult
group called the Thule Society, founded in 1917 by followers of Lanz
and List. The occult doctrine of the Thule Society held that the
survivors of an ancient and highly developed lost civilization
(Atlantis) could endow Thule initiates with esoteric powers and
wisdom. The initiates would use these powers to create a new race of
Aryan supermen who would eliminate all 'inferior' races." (1029)
The former Cistercian monk, Jorg Lanz Von Liebenfels was considered
the 'father' of National Socialism by Austrian psychologist Wilhem
Daim, the author of a 1958 study of Lanz, The Man Who Gave Hitler His
Ideas. A compelling expose of the Merovingian infiltration of the
Catholic Church reveals that the Cistercians were Rosicrucians:
“Like most Merovingian monasteries Glastonbury became a Benedictine
Monastery. And the purpose of Merovingian monasteries was
'infiltration' based on the belief that the best way to crush the
Church was from 'within.'... There is no doubt in my mind that [the
Grail legend] would have been the work of the Cistercians, founded by
Benedictine monks as 'the ratchet' for the structural organization of
[the Prieuré de] Sion. Joseph of Arimathea is alone associated with
the Grail legend and the Quest of the Grail legends, which per
Colliers Encyclopedia, are dominated by the mystical symbolism of
Cistercians...
“More than any heretical Merovingian organizations, the
Cistercians personified the banality of evil at its finest. The name
Cistercian and of their first monastery, Citeaux derive from Cistus,
of the Cistaceae or Rockrose family resembling the wild rose and
cultivated in the Mediterranean. The Myrrh with which Mary Magdalene
anointed the Body of Jesus also comes from the Cistus family. And they
had chosen the Magdalene...assigning her the symbol of the Rose and
Cross in memory of the Brotherhood of the Sun founded by Akhenaten who
had taken as its symbol the Rose and Cross (Lewis). Cistercians were
Rosicrucians. And this Rosicrucian order of monks would triumph in its
infiltration of the Church.” (550)
The Secret Doctrine, authored by H.P. Blavatsky in 1893, became the
sourcebook for twentieth century esoteric societies, including the
Thule Society. The inner core of the Thule Society were Satanists such
as Dietrich Eckart to whom Hitler dedicated his book, Mein Kampf.
Hitler assiduously applied himself to the The Secret Doctrine, whose
underlying premise was the Aryan root race theory, a gnostic belief
that the present race of Homo Sapiens is destined to be replaced by
the seventh root race of "godmen" or Homo Noeticus, the New Man. There
is evidence that the German scientists were aided by contact with
'Gray entities' from inside the Earth for the building of their war
machine and genetic research.
ST. JOHN: HEAD OF KNIGHTS & INITIATES
The Templar Revelation by Clive Prince and Lynn Picknett confirms
other reports of the Nazi sympathies of Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Clair, whose possible connection with Hitler's 'Angel of Death',
Josef Mengele, was explored in a previous section, The False Christ. A
website critical of Plantard's "mystic monarchist games" also exposed
the fascist proclivities of the former Grand Master of the Prieuré de
Sion:
“Born in 1920, he first came to public notice in the Occupied France
of 1942 as the editor of a journal called Vaincre pour une Jeune
cehvalerie (Conquest for a Young Knighthood)—which was markedly
uncritical of the Nazi oppressors, and which was actually published
with their approval. This was officially the organ of the Order Alpha
Galates, a quasi-Masonic and chivalric society, based in Paris, of
which Plantard became the Grand Master at the age of just
twenty-two...Vaincre is now [1998] the title of the Priory's internal
bulletin, which Pierre de Saint-Clair edits with his son Thomas.”
(242:43)
Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair was strongly influenced by one Paul Le
Cour, a French mystic who wrote 'L'Ere du Verseau' (The Age of
Aquarius). The 'Rennes-le-Château Papers of Paul Smith' charts the
development of the Prieuré de Sion and cites the work of M. Le Cour to
expose the fascist nature of the New World Order envisioned by the
late Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion. Translator Peter O’Reilly
interprets Le Cour's vision of the Age of Aquarius as a civilization
which revives the mystery religion of ancient Atlantis: "In [L'Ere du
Verseau] Le Cour looks forward to the future Age of Aquarius as
bringing with it the return of Christ in the role of Christ the King.
It is a work of esoteric and apocalyptic Christianity in which the
author also voices his belief in an esoteric spiritual tradition that
originated in Atlantis…" (994)
Note that the periodical which Pierre Plantard edited with his son
Thomas, Vaincre pour une Jeune cehvalerie, means 'Conquest for a Young
Knighthood.' In Le Cour's The Age of Aquarius, the following passages
are from a chapter entitled ‘The Formation of a New Order of
Knighthood.’ In 1949, Le Cour disclosed that his organization,
Atlantis, had been making preparations for the formation of 'special
establishments' for the training of future leaders. By this he meant a
monastic "community of initiates under the direction of a man with a
sense of mission."
"For more than twenty years we have been calling in 'Atlantis' for the
formation of a new order of Knighthood and indicating the means by
which it might be achieved... Jules Romain, in 'Le Probleme Numero
Un', published in 1947, wishes, in the face of the current enormous
danger, for a spiritual power consisting of a grand order of chivalry
and it seems to him that for it to be realised the support of the
Catholic church would be of great help. Another French author, Raymond
Abellio, has published, likewise in 1947, a curious work entitled
'Vers un prophetisme nouveau', in which he, too, calls for the
formation of a grand order consisting of a community of initiates
under the direction of a man with a sense of mission." (994)
Le Cour insisted that the Roman Catholic Church must radically change
its Christology if she would be the patron of the new knighthood.
Implied here is the gnostic belief that St. John the Divine (a
composite John the Baptist and John the Evangelist) was the Messiah
rather than Jesus Christ.
"The order would comprise novices, disciples and masters. He does
not indicate the means of realising it, but thinks that it could be
through the Catholic Church, on condition that it lifts the veil off
the New Testament and 'questions St John....'
"Let me also point out that P.Riquet in a conference in 1947 at
Notre Dame de Paris, has also spoken for the need for the creation of
an order of knighthood. And Jean-Louis Lagor has published a work with
the title 'Une Chevalerie Renaitra' (An Order of Knighthood Will Be
Reborn)." (994)
The target group for initiation into the new knighthood was the youth
culture, which had been victimized by the baleful influence of secular
humanism. Le Cour saw France as the locus of planning and activity by
the new leadership with priories, i.e. monasteries, as the training
centers. These warrior-monks will be directed by the false 'Christ'
when he returns.
"Young people have been abandoned for far too long without moral
or spiritual direction. Teaching has been developed at the expense of
'education'. Everything therefore needs to be created from the
beginning to bring about the formation of leaders and educators,
subject to a discipline simultaneously heroic and sanctifying, in
special establishments: Priories (Prieures). We possess in France
buildings that are permeated with a spiritual dynamism that favours
its realisation, such as Mont St Michel with its wonderful cloisters
for meditation, its majestic chapel for prayer and its magnificent
hall of knights. All are unused.
"Our country has a mission to fulfil. It has been shaken hard to
wake it from its torpor, its lethargy; and now ideas are shooting up
on all sides, for France is a seedbed of ideas. Let us try to
understand what our mission consists of, let us try to fulfil it by
preparing knights of the Apocalypse whose head will be Christ when he
returns!" (994)
At the right moment, said Le Cour, a new Grail King would rise to the
occasion of directing the communities of youthful initiates. The
esoteric Church of St. John would replace the traditional Church of
St. Peter, which had ruthlessly persecuted the Knights Templar and
related Gnostic sects.
"The cycle of the romances of the Round Table tells us the story of
the holy vessel, the Grail, which there is good reason to connect with
that Ganymede (i.e. Aquarius). Considered as containing all light and
all knowledge, it is the object of a quest, a search to which the
knights dedicate themselves. Their head is King Arthur, head of the
legendary order of knighthood of the Grail, who is to return one day
at the head of his knights to put the world back in order, and at that
time all symbols will be explained. But such an order of knighthood
will have to be placed under the patronage of St John, who is the head
of knights and of initiates." (994)
The preceding passage presents an altogether different type of world
order than is portrayed by the usual New World Order propaganda.
Virtually all exposure of the global conspiracy creates the image of a
secular, socialist world government under the management of the United
Nations. Yet, according to the late Grand Master of the Prieuré de
Sion, which directs all other secret societies, the new world order
will be not only of a religious character but a dynamic network of
monastic communities under a priest-king. This would be a perfect
fulfillment of a prophecy made in the twelfth century by the famous
mystic monk, Joachim of Fiore.
"...the third age would be one of love, joy, and freedom, when the
knowledge of God would be revealed directly in the hearts of all men.
The Age of the Spirit was to be the Sabbath or resting-time of
mankind. Then the world would be one vast monastery, in which all men
would be contemplative monks rapt in mystical ecstasy and united in
singing the praises of God. And this new version of the kingdom of the
Saints would endure until the last judgment." (243:108-9)
Joachim of Fiore (1135-1202 AD) was born in Calabria, Italy and became
a Calabrian monk, an order which merged with the Merovingian Celtic
Church in 1128 A.D. "Joachim of Fiore, a Cistercian Abbot from
Southern Italy, allegedly received visions on Mount Tabor which
inspired him to write the 'Eternal Gospels' based on his own
interpretation of Revelation 14:6. He proclaimed that there were three
ages of the world corresponding to the three persons of the Holy
Trinity. In the first age, the Father ruled the world through power
and fear (Old Testament). The Son ruled through wisdom and discipline
in the second age (New Testament). The third age was nearing (he
prophesied around 1260) when the Holy Spirit would rule with universal
love without the need for institutions. In this third age, the Church
would be freed from everything carnal and worldly, and a new religious
Order would be founded whose task it would be to propagate these ideas
and thereby save the whole world." (1009)
Joachim's prophecy may not be as far-fetched as it seems. In their
book, The Trojan Horse: How the New Age Infiltrates the Church, Brenda
Scott and Samantha Smith reveal that the Temple of Understanding, a
'Spiritual United Nations' launched by Eleanor Roosevelt, is
networking monastic communities worldwide in order to form the very
leadership envisioned by Joachim of Fiore, Paul Le Cour and Pierre
Plantard de Saint-Clair for the new global spirituality:
"In June of 1980, the...Temple of Understanding...sponsor(ed) the
formation of a World Monastic Council... - to be an international
network of monks, nuns, scholars, theologians and laity from...both
East and West, who would work together to create...the global society
of the future to work for the awakening of spiritual consciousness
(godhood)." (24:83)
KALLISTOS WARE
Timothy Ware (1934-) was an Anglican theologian who converted to Greek
Orthodoxy in 1958. In 1966, at age 32, he was ordained priest and
became a monk, receiving the new name 'Kallistos'. He made his
monastic vows at St. John the Theologian monastery on the Greek island
of Patmos and is now a bishop of the Eastern Orthodox Church and
considered the "foremost authority on Orthodoxy". Also in 1966, he
returned to Oxford as Spalding Lecturer in Eastern Orthodox Studies at
the University. Bishop Kallistos Ware is today a major figure in the
interfaith / ecumenical movement. He has written books and conducted
numerous seminars on the Eastern Orthodox Church and Christian
mysticism. The following profile appears on the website of Ohio State
University, where Bishop Ware lectured in April of 2002:
"Consecrated Bishop of Diokleia in 1982, Bishop Kallistos is well
known for his popular books about Eastern Orthodox faith and practice
and has been hailed as 'perhaps the 20th century's foremost authority
on Orthodoxy' by the Russian Orthodox press. Bishop Kallistos serves
in the diocese of Thyatira of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
"Bishop Kallistos Ware is a resident of Oxford, England. A British
native, he left the Anglican Church and converted to Greek Orthodoxy
in 1958. Timothy Ware's first contact with Orthodoxy was as a 17-
year-old who 'by chance or divine providence' attended an Orthodox
vigil service already in progress and immediately felt a sense of
'belonging' although he could not understand the language. He was
ordained to the priesthood at age 32 and took monastic vows at St.
John the Theologian monastery on the Greek island of Patmos.
"Before retiring last year, His Grace was the Spalding Lecturer in
Eastern Orthodox Studies at the University of Oxford, where he had
completed his own studies in Greek and Latin. His Grace also was a
fellow of Pembroke College at Oxford. Active in work for Christian
unity, His Grace was a member of the Anglican Orthodox Joint Doctrinal
Discussions from 1973-84 and spent five years in the mid 1990s as
co-chairman of the Preparatory Commission for the Orthodox Methodist
Theological Dialogue. He has written three books, including The
Orthodox Church, and has translated three major Greek liturgical
works. The first of an eight-volume set of his own collected works,
entitled The Inner Kingdom, was recently published." (662)
The Greek island of Patmos, where the apostle John received his vision
for the book of Revelation, was and is still a hotbed of pagan
worship. On the high point of the island, in the very location where
the monastery of St. John the Theologian now stands, there was in
ancient times a famous temple in honor of Diana, also called Artemis.
The founder of the monastery, Ioannis Christodoulos, was a leading
figure in the Eastern church and monasticism at the time.
"In 313 AD, Christianity was officially recognized as the religion of
the Roman Empire and from this time the new faith spread rapidly
throughout the Greek islands. The eastern Christian empire of
Byzantium exercised control over the isle of Patmos and in the 4th
century the ancient shrine of the goddess Diana was torn down.
Directly upon its foundations was erected a church dedicated to St.
John but this church was itself destroyed sometime between the 6th and
9th centuries when the island was subjected to frequent raids by the
Arabs. Left deserted after these raids, Patmos next entered history in
1088 when a Byzantine emperor granted the island to the monk
Christodolous, whose intention it was to establish a monastery. Built
upon the remains of the old church and the older shrine of Diana, the
monastery of St. John has been in continuous operation for over 900
years." (1008)
From prehistoric times, the religion of Patmos was the worship of
Artemis. There the Greek Orthodox monks tore down the temple of
Artemis in order to erect a monastery to St. John instead. Or did
they? Several occult sources agree that Diana/Artemis was the
bisexual god, Janus/Jana; and a Roman philosopher informs us that the
Roman variant of 'John' is 'Janus/Jana'. Robert Graves stated in The
White Goddess: "...Janus was really the oak-god Dianus who was
incarnate in the King of Rome..." - (406:69) "Macrobius...says that
Janus is two-faced because he is a fusion of Artemis and Apollo (i.e.,
Sun and Moon, Janus and Jana = Dianus and Diana); thus he corresponds
to the alchemical hermaphrodite..." (983)
In The Cult of the Black Virgin, Ean Begg confirms the duality and
bisexuality of Janus/Diana, adding that Janus was also John: "Janus is
one of the most important Roman gods. His two faces illustrate not
only his role as deity of beginnings, looking to past and future, but
his essential duality as the original bisexual chaos and the form
which emerged from it. Diana/Jana and Saturn are especially associated
with him. He may have been Gallicized into Jean (John), one of the
companions to the Black Virgin." (272:7)
Monastic communities have historically built their monasteries and
other edifices on the sacred sites of pagans, where human sacrifice
was practiced as part of their Satanic rites. The construction of
monasteries and cathedrals on sacred sites proliferated due to the
fact that such sites were connected to an underground energy grid
known today as ley lines. With the advance of Christianity, the
worship of pagan gods and goddesses declined and was eventually
proscribed by the Roman Catholic Church. To circumvent this
prohibition, pagans simply disguised themselves as Christian monks and
infiltrated the Church, where they were, whether unwittingly or no,
given carte blanche as 'holy men' to reactivate the ancient
underground grid:
"These mystical, occult [ley] lines join together the sacred sites
thus making a grid which is a force or source field - ancient magic of
the cabbalists and shamans... 'The ancestors walked the land, also
filling it with spiritual forces. These forces are concentrated in
sacred sites [which] include fertility sites, conception sites,
initiation sites, and cremation and burial sites. Graham Mundine has
shown how the ley-lines of the pagan world are to be reactivated from
sacred site to sacred site, as the 'Rainbow Spirit Theology' book
discloses." (70:15)
In their New Age book The Light Shall Set You Free, Norma Milanovich
and Shirley McCune expound at length upon the electromagnetic grid
that was developed by the gods of Atlantis. This matrix of sacred
sites were and are still believed to connect mankind to the underworld
and the 'divine cosmos'. In the selection from the book below, the
hyperlinked words and phrases lead to more detailed information in
another report, Heeding Bible Prophecy, which outlines the various
elements of the New Age plan to recreate pre-flood world of Atlantis
via demonic beings who will present themselves as reincarnated
Atlantean high priests and priestesses.
"In Atlantis, an etheric energy matrix existed beneath the Earth's
surface, providing a lattice network for such activities as telepathic
communication and healing. This matrix was known as a grid...
"This grid was a system of electromagnetic frequencies created
through worldwide linkages made by human thought waves and energy
transmitted by the Earth and through crystals. The system followed a
carefully designed global plan...[which] embodied the study and form
of geomancy, which means the divination of lines drawn at random...
"...The electromagnetic grid was built by the Thrice-Greatest
Geomancer and Master of Earth known as Hermes Trismegistus and the
High Priests and Priestesses of Atlantis who came to earth to build a
great civilization for this part of the galaxy...
"...The effect of this grid was to connect humans to the Earth
though the power of Spirit.
"Hermes and other beings of Light first implanted celestial
crystals within the etheric bodies of the High Priests and Priestesses
and then within those of the Light Workers of the hierarchy. These
crystals contained symbolic and geometric coding from the Universal
Language of Light that send out frequencies to connect signals
emanating from points of Light. This effort formed lines of Light
radiating from their etheric bodies which connected to the Earth,
forming the Illuminated web of Divine energy...
"These select emissaries of the Divine journeyed to various lands
and sites. Each time they visited foreign places, the currents of
energy were made stronger... The grid truly connected the Heavens and
Earth and formed the perfect Oneness...
"That was the state of affairs when Atlantis was in it glory,
But... Certain individuals, not of the priesthood, began to rise to
power and change the systems, which resulted in disaster. In time,
Atlantis fell, and...many of these great accomplishments were buried
with the land underneath the ocean floor... Some of the survivors, who
were keepers of this sacred knowledge on geomancy, settled in Egypt
and the Yucatán, keeping a portion of the mysteries and knowledge
alive... history would reveal that the souls of the High Priests and
Priestesses would reincarnate to rebuild Atlantis in the form of the
Seventh Golden Age. That time is now." (45:346-50)
There were other sacred sites in Greece as well. The following article
notes that Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was declared the "Mother
of God' at the Council of Ephesus, which city was the very heart of
Diana/Artemis worship. Some churchmen attempt to ascribe the rise of
cult of the Black Virgin in Ephesus to the worship of Mary, the mother
of Jesus, who, they claim (without a shred of evidence) lived there
with John in her later years. This begs the question, however, the
worship of Artemis being the obvious reason for the Black Virgin cult
in Ephesus. Ean Begg traces the origins of Black Virgin statues in
Greece to pre-Christian idols of Artemis, whose duality is expressed
in her contradictory images. In Ephesus, she was the many-breasted
Black Virgin; in Arcadia and Sparta, the lesbian goddess invoked by
women participating in same-sex unions.
"It is debatable how far the Artemis of Greece, the 'maiden
huntress', should be identified with the many-breasted, fertile,
Ephesian goddess. Between them they combine the paradox of virgin and
mother which is at the heart of Christian Marian dogma...
"It is with Artemis of Ephesus rather than the Arcadian Lady of
Wild Things that we must now concern ourselves in the quest for the
origins of the Black Virgin. According to legend she started as a
black meteoric stone... Ephesus was where the Virgin Mary
traditionally spent her closing years before her Dormition and
Assumption, with St John, before his exile to Patmos. In Ephesus in AD
431 the Virgin Mary was proclaimed 'Mother of God', and her cult
spread thence to the city of the she-wolf, Rome, and so to all the
corners of the world, as, indeed, a thousand years earlier had that of
her predecessor, the Black Ephesian. The best known image of Artemis
of Ephesus, a Roman alabaster and bronze statue of the second century,
shows her with a black face, hands and feet, multiple breasts, on her
head a mural crown or tower, and on her dress images including bulls,
goats, deer and a bee...
"Artemis is hostile to love and punishes sexual transgressors
severely. Unawakened little girls, brownies playing bears to her
honour in the forest, are great favourites of hers, but boys fare less
well at the hands of her devotees. In Sparta, youths were flogged in
front of the statue of Artemis Orthia (upright), in a combination of
fertility rite and painful puberty initiation. The sexual puritanism
of the new goddess of Christianity, with its proliferation of monastic
establishments, would not altogether have displeased Arcadian
Artemis." (272:54)
Another New Age fable imagines that, during his exile on the island of
Patmos, the apostle John crafted a Black Madonna which was removed to
France. No proof of this absurdity exists, however, the tale does
demonstrate that the Black Virgin was venerated on Patmos.
"One of the treasured relics taken from the Cathar stronghold of
Montsegur, France, just before its fall to the Inquisition, was a
statue of the Christian Black Madonna crafted by St. John on the Isle
of Patmos. It was a simple artwork, for John was not a skilled
craftsman; but it was and is a venerated talisman, empowered by St.
John during his mystical trances, through which he imparted the Book
of Revelation." (1025)
Atlantis?
We interject here that Chuck Missler of Koinonia House sponsored an
'Exclusive Archaeological Cruise Event' called The Malta Expedition.
Tourists sailed to the islands of Patmos, Malta and Crete with
excursions to Ephesus and Athens, where they visited the Acropolis,
Parthenon and Mars Hill. Two days were spent on the island of Malta,
where the tour visited the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights
of Malta!
Day 7 - Tuesday, April 6
Early arrival on Malta. Visit Valletta - A World Heritage Site, Grand
Master's Palace (War Room), Paul's Cave, Paul's Shipwrecked Church,
the fishing villages and an ancient Tarxien temple. Exclusive evening
dinner and book signing at the Palazzo Parisio with dignitaries and
those who assisted in the discovery of Paul's Anchors.
Valletta, the capital of Malta, has 320 monuments making it one of the
most concentrated historic areas in the world and one of UNESCO's
World Heritage Sites. At Valetta the tour also visited an ancient
Tarxien temple. 'Tarxien' means 'huge stone' which describes those
used for the numerous prehistoric temples on Malta. The World
Monuments Fund is trying to help protect these temples. In Lady of the
Beasts: The Goddess and Her Sacred Animals, Buffie Johnson informs
that Malta was renown for its temples and monuments to the Mother
Goddess.
"Even in the monument strewn islands of the Mediterranean, the
spiritual singularity of the goddess temples of Malta is conspicuous.
Built with monumental boulders, yet finished with the first dressed
stone within, these temples were designed in a unique apsidal
arrangement resembling the clover leaf form of the goddess herself.
Some temples, large enough to be compared with cathedrals, were
expanded through the addition of vaulted circular chambers. They
contained altars, fonts, ovens for baking sacred bread, and many
goddess figures; the remains of one are nearly six feet in height. A
visit to the monuments there reveals convincing evidence of goddess
worship." (141:68)
The stated purpose of the Malta Expedition was to view the
newly-discovered 'lost anchors' of Paul's second missionary journey.
The discoverer of the 'lost anchors of Paul' is Robert Cornuke,
president of the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration Institute
(BASE). Cornuke's books are offered by the ministries of Chuck Missler
and J.R. Church, as well as many other so-called Christian ministries.
There is no evidence that Cornuke, whose organization co-sponsored the
Malta cruise, has discovered these anchors but this did not deter the
promoters from publishing their speculations as facts.
The Misslers' excursion appeared to be a pretext for promoting ancient
centers of occult activity as historic Christian sites and this scheme
may be even more sophisticated. Gaining in popularity is the theory is
that the Mediterranean Sea is the location of the lost civilization of
Atlantis! Archaeologists claim they have located underwater structures
off the coast of Malta and the latest studies argue the existence of
an advanced civilization that predates dynastic Egypt. Graham
Hancock's recent book devoted 120 pages to evidence that Malta was the
tip of the former continent of Atlantis.
"Last year the idea that Malta was Atlantis gained international
recognition and featured in popular television documentaries,
publications and guidebooks. A Russian TV crew had visited Malta for
this purpose and a documentary was screened on OTR channel 1 in the
Soviet Union. Piero Angela, of Super Quark, was also interested enough
to come to Malta to make a documentary about the subject. David
Furlong, author of Keys to the Temples, was also in Malta to study the
positions of prehistoric sites and compare them with British sites.
The theory that Malta was Atlantis was published in the Italian
journal of archaeology Hera, while the French journal Archeologie also
carried articles about it. Best selling author Graham Hancock had also
published a book 'Underworld, flooded kingdoms of the Ice Age' in the
UK, dedicating 120 pages out of its total of 761 to Malta and the
publications Malta: Echoes of Plato's Island, and Dossier Malta -
evidence for the Magdalenian, published in 1997. The latter had
suggested that the presence of man on Malta could date back to about
15000 to 12000 BC rather than the traditionally accepted date of about
7000 BC." (1044)
Mount Athos
Bishop Kallistos Ware is also the President of the Friends of Mount
Athos, a society dedicated to the "the advancement of education of the
public in the study and knowledge of the history, culture, arts,
architecture, natural history, and literature of the Orthodox
monasteries of Mount Athos and the promotion of the religious and
other charitable work of the Holy Community and monasteries of Mount
Athos". We will therefore consider some of the "history, culture,
arts, architecture, natural history, and literature of the Orthodox
monasteries of Mount Athos".
History. Mount Athos is no ordinary sacred site in Greece, but the
very center of Orthodox monasticism. "The religious history of Athos
goes back long before the birth of Christianity however. The great
marble peak of Mt. Athos (6670 feet, 2033 meters) was mentioned as
early as Homer and Aiskhylos as being the first home of the Greek gods
Zeus and Apollo before they moved to Mt. Olympus. Pagan hermits have
lived in the deep forests since prehistoric times for it was known
then, as it has been forgotten now, that places where the ancient gods
had lived still held great powers for humans." Today, Mount Athos is
still held in great reverence as a 'Holy Mountain' and populated
exclusively with monastic communities, as well as many hermits,
totaling over 2,000 monks from all of the Orthodox traditions.
"For in spiritual terms Athos is not of this world at all: it is,
at least for those who live there, a station in sacred space, a
foretaste of paradise. Not for nothing is it known as the Holy
Mountain.
"For more than a thousand years Athos has existed as the principal
centre of monasticism for the Orthodox Church -- or rather for all the
Orthodox Churches. Ever since Byzantine times it has been a
pan-Orthodox, multi-national centre. There were once monasteries for
Albanians, Amalfitans, Bulgarians, Georgians, Moldavians, Russians,
Serbs, and Wallachians as well as Greeks. Today there are still houses
for Bulgarians, Greeks, Romanians, Russians, and Serbs. Furthermore
Athos is unique for being a portion of contemporary Europe entirely
devoted to the monastic life and to nothing else.
"Today the Mountain has a total population of some 2000 monks, a
figure that is steadily rising. Most follow the cenobitic tradition
which brings monks into communities for living, working, and
worshipping together. Others follow the eremitical tradition and live
as hermits, either in small groups or as solitaries. Between them they
inhabit a variety of different establishments." (1026)
Art and Architecture. Icons are an integral part of the Orthodox
belief and tradition--a direct violation of the 2nd commandment: "Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the water under the earth." Exod. 20:4. During Paul's
second missionary journey, while he was in Greece, God spoke through
the apostle commanding all men, and in particular the Greeks, to
repent of their idol worship:
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in
him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry... Then Paul stood
in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive
that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and
beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE
UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto
you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is
Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;...
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing,
seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; Forasmuch
then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the
Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and
man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where to repent. Acts 17
There are, in fact, close to 18,000 icons on the 'Holy Mountain' of
Athos today and many of these are claimed to have performed miracles,
particularly those of the Virgin Mary. Supposedly largest collection
of Christian art in the world, some of this artwork is blatantly
pagan. For example, one wall painting from an Athonite monastery
displays a dragon eating the head of a man; the facade of another
monastery exhibits an All-Seeing Eye, the well-known symbol of occult
illumination. (1052)
Bill Schoenbelen writes from personal experience when he explains the
occult meaning of the All-Seeing Eye: "To 'open' the eye a little bit
is to experience psychic powers. To open the eye completely is to have
your brain flooded with the 'pure' consciousness of Lucifer himself.
This is why one of the Masonic symbols is the 'All-Seeing Eye.' It is
a symbol of Illumination. This is Satan's counterfeit for being Born
Again. In it, you acquire a 'personal relationship' with Lucifer. You
begin to think his thoughts and see with his eyes. You begin to look
at humans the way he does. It is not a pretty sight." (39:365)
In the Greek Orthodox Church, there the many dark icons that can be
considered Black Virgins. The Athens News Agency stated on November
11, 2002: "Several Eastern Orthodox monasteries are located on Mount
Athos, an all-male community dedicated to the Madonna for a
millennium." Monastic communities in the Roman Catholic Church,
particularly the Carmelite and Benedictine, were noted for their
devotion to the Black Virgin. This is understandable, considering that
monasticism was birthed in Egypt (where Isis was worshipped) and
Christianized in Alexandria (where the Mary Magdalene cult arose),
whence it was transported to the Roman Empire by Athanasius, the
Bishop of Alexandria, and to the Byzantine Empire by Basil the Great.
Subsequent to their genesis in Egypt, Black Virgins were worshipped by
monastic communities of the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic
churches, in that order. Ean Begg stated, "Since the Catholic [Black
Virgin] icons are Byzantine in origin, it seems worth indicating some
in Greece that are mentioned as potential [Black Virgins]..."
(272:239) The Mount Athos icon in the Monastery of Dochairou "is of a
totally Black Virgin and Child".
Culture. Mount Athos is also a major center for the gnostic tradition
of hesychasm, which is a Byzantine form of contemplative prayer
directed toward ecstatic mystical experience. A practice akin to Zen
Buddhism and Hindu Yoga, hesychasm involves striving for 'inner
stillness' as a means to having visions of 'the divine light'.
"The monks of Mount Athos accepted Hesychasm. According to Gregory of
Sinai, the founder of hesychia, monks could see the ‘uncreated light
of God’, the light that shone about Christ at his Transfiguration on
Mount Tabor, if they were virtuous and devoted themselves exclusively
to prayer, seated from morn to eve in the same place, concentrating
and repeating silently the prayer ‘Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on
me’. The hope that they could thus come close to God was perhaps a
reaction to the ever increasing external dangers and the collapse of
the Byzantine Empire." (1026)
The Philokalia is a five-volume collection of 'spiritual wisdom' in
the Orthodox tradition that was written between the 4th and 15th
centuries by the 'Holy Fathers' of the Orthodox tradition and
preserved within Mount Athos monasteries. Co-edited by Bishop
Kallistos Ware, Philokalia: The Complete Text is a source book for the
Orthodox on the practices of Hesychasm, the Jesus Prayer, Nepsis or
Inner Attention, Asceticism and Theosis, which is the deification of
man doctrine embraced by the Greek Orthodox Church. A book review of
The Philokalia reveals that the objective of repeating the Jesus
Prayer is personal deification---the Satanically-inspired lie, 'ye
shall be as gods':
"The goal is to repeat without ceasing the Jesus Prayer, whether aloud
or not. Literally without ceasing. The prayer should revolve in the
mind even while eating, speaking with others, or sleeping. Thus
perpetual communion with God, the purpose of human existence, can be
fulfilled. Theosis, deification, partaking of the divine nature,
gaining the divinity that God has extended to us, is the purpose of
practicing the Jesus Prayer in this way, just as it is the purpose of
asceticism, hesychasm, and other practices."
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. - Gen. 3:4-5
The founder of hesychasm, Gregory of Sinai, also invented the 'Jesus
Prayer', a 'monologistic' prayer, which means praying ‘Lord Jesus
Christ have mercy on me’ repeatedly and contemplatively while seated
in the same place. (In some Russian traditions the phrase “a sinner”
is added at the end.) Repeating this prayer from morning to evening is
supposed to fulfill Paul's command to 'pray without ceasing.'
Bishop Kallistos Ware has written and lectured extensively on the
practice of hesychasm, which originated at Mount Athos. His book, The
Inner Kingdom, begins with a chapter on "Silence in Prayer: the
Meaning of Hesychia". In the year 2002, Ware was also a presenter for
the John Main Seminar, an annual event sponsored by the World
Community for Christian Meditation. A promotional piece for Bishop
Ware's seminar presents a word-for-word description of the hesychast
technique:
"Countless Christians over the centuries have found a way of entry
through practicing the invocation of the Holy Name: in the West often
through the repetition of the name 'Jesus' on its own; in the East
more commonly through a longer phrase, such as 'Lord Jesus Christ, Son
of God, have mercy on me.'" (572)
Apposite to Bishop Ware's leadership in the advocacy of hesychasm, one
medieval Patriarch of Constantinople by the name of 'Callistus'
created an uproar in the Greek Orthodox Church when he persecuted
opponents of hesychasm:
"In the fourteenth century a pseudo-spiritualism akin to that of the
ancient Euchites or Messalians, culminating in the famous Hesychast
controversies (see HESYCHASM; PALAMAS), greatly disturbed the mutual
harmony of Greek monasteries, especially those of Mount Athos, one of
whose monks, Callistus, had become Patriarch of Constantinople
(1350-54) and in that office exhibited great severity towards the
opponents of Hesychasm. Racial and national discord between the Greeks
and the Servians added fuel to the flames, and for a while the monks
were again subjected to the immediate supervision of the Bishop of
Hierissus." (548)
Literature. Before relocating to Mt. Athos to teach the monks the
hesychast method of contemplation, Gregory of Sinai belonged to the
Monastery of St. Katherine at Mt. Sinai. It was at this convent that
the gnostic manuscript, Sinaiticus Aleph, was discovered by Constantin
Tischendorf in the 19th century. The Sinaiticus Aleph along with
infamous Vaticanus B were used by B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort as the
basis for their corrupt New Greek Text from which modern versions of
the Bible are translated.
Mount Athos was ever a hotbed of gnostic occultism. James H. Sightler,
author of A Testimony Founded Forever, sheds more light on the pivotal
role of the Mount Athos monks in preserving the Corpus Hermeticum.
These were the core documents of the Hermetic tradition which were
unavailable to the West in classical times but 'rediscovered' in Athos
during the Renaissance, and delivered to Europe where they were
translated and disseminated. Dr. Sightler is of the opinion that the
Vaticanus B was also preserved at Mount Athos, and there is evidence
that the Codex Alexandrinus was found there as well.
"Frances Yates relates that a monk from Macedonia, Leonardo da
Pistoria, working for Cosmo de Medici, brought the Corpus Hermeticum
to Florence about 1460, where it was translated by Marsilio Ficino.
Michael Psellus knew of this manuscript in his day in the eleventh
century, and I believe that the Corpus Hermeticum actually came from
Mount Athos, which is a peninsula of Macedonia. I say this because of
the mystical and Hermetic influences in religious practice and art on
Athos which we have just noted, and I am also convinced that Codex B
was found there by Bessarion at just about the same time as the
discovery of the Corpus Hermeticum."
"...It is interesting that F.H.A. Scrivener's book, A Plain
Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, shows in its index
30 references to Mount Athos covering 53 manuscripts which were found
there. At the time of publication of this book in 1883 about 650 New
Testament Manuscripts had been found. Therefore about eight per cent
were from Athos. The index lists 5 ms. from Patmos, 20 from St. Saba
in Jerusalem, 16 from the monastery of the Holy Sepulchre in
Jerusalem, 20 from Jamina in Epirus, and 6 from St. Catherine on Mt.
Sinai. For those manuscripts whose origin is known, Mount Athos is the
most frequent source... Furthermore, Hatch's catalogue of uncials of
1939, cited previously, lists a total of 7 uncials from Athos, only 4
of which had been catalogued by Scrivener. Of these 6 are Byzantine
and one, Codex Alexandrinus, is mixed. Scrivener states that Wetstein,
on the authority of Matthew Muttis, a deacon attached to Cyril Lukar,
believed that Cyril had obtained Codex A from Mount Athos... Foakes
Jackson and Kirsopp Lake agree with Scrivener and point out that Cyril
was on Mount Athos in 1612-1613. I believe that Codex B as well had
been removed from Athos l 50 years before by Bessarion."...
"It is now no longer necessary to believe Tischendorf's claim that
Codices B and Aleph were once located and used in Constantinople.
Jackson and Lake give the opinion that Codex B 'was brought from
Alexandria to Sicily by fugitives from the conquering Arabs, in the
seventh century, and thence to Calabria. Nothing is known which
suggests that it remained in the East until the fifteenth century and
was then brought to Rome under the influence of the revival of
letters.'...
"Both B and Aleph were written in Egypt. I believe that both were
there, probably in Alexandria, in 640 A.D. when the Arabs under Amrou
captured the city after a siege of fourteen months. I believe they
were removed by Egyptian anchorites before the city fell and taken to
the island of Crete to be kept, perhaps in the famous Labyrinth cave,
known from antiquity, by the monks and their successors until 823 A.D.
when the Saracens captured portions of the island. At that time Codex
B was taken to Mount Athos, where the earliest monastic communities
were just arising, or to Mistra. The Corpus Hermeticum could have been
carried along with it as well. Aleph was taken by other monks to Mt.
Sinai, where the monastery of St. Catherine had been built by
Justinian in the eighth century. These codices then remained in their
respective places until Bassarion took Codex B from Athos or Mistra in
1846 and Tischendorf retrieved Aleph in 1859...
"At the Council of Florence Cosimo de Medici met Bassarion and his
mentor, Plethon, and was moved by them to back the establishment of a
school at Florence for the study and dissemination of Neo-Platonic
philiosphy. Bassarion and Plethon in 1442 founded the Academia
Platonica at Florence. Cosimo provided funds for the acquisition of
rare manuscripts, including copies of the Corpus Hermeticum, Plato,
and Plutarch, as well a Biblical manuscripts. He later gave a villa at
Careggi, near Florence, to a student and colleague of Plethon and
Bassarion, Marsilio Ficino, who was the first to translate the Corpus,
Plato and Platinus into Latin and carried on the work of the academy."
(350:128-33)
According to Ian Paisley's European Institute of Protestant Studies
(EIPS), "Mount Athos comes under the spiritual jurisdiction of the
Patriarch of Constantinople, but enjoys the status of a
semi-autonomous republic within Greece. Not only was this spelt out in
the Greek constitution as recently as 1975, when Greece entered the
European Union six years later the monasteries were specifically
excluded from the jurisdiction of EU equality legislation."
Unfortunately, the Mount Athos community has accepted "EU funds to
help preserve both their treasures and the fabric of the
monasteries"--a compromise having major consequences: On September 4,
2003 "A plenary session of the Euro-Parliament has passed a
proposal-report demanding that the Greek government rescind the
special protection the monks have enjoyed for a millennium."
This eventuality has the makings of an ecumenical uprising against the
European Union and a groundswell of support for the poor monks of
Mount Athos. Which is precisely what the social transformers have in
mind to galvanize popular support for Joachim's mystical
utopia---where "the world would be one vast monastery, in which all
men would be contemplative monks rapt in mystical ecstasy..."
NEW ORDER OF MYSTICAL KNIGHTHOOD
Bishop Kallistos Ware is involved in a number of ecumenical
initiatives the purpose of which is to unite Protestant, Catholics and
Orthodox, not along the lines of doctrinal beliefs, but through an
assimilation of the doctrinal (watered down to mere theism) into the
mystical. For example, Bishop Ware co-edited the aforementioned
complete text of The Philokalia and also contributed to James
Cutsinger's book Paths to the Heart: Sufism and the Christian East,
which is a collection of essays by Greek Orthodox and Islamic
spiritualists finding common ground in the esoteric traditions of
their respective religions.
This philosophy is termed the religio perennis, the 'eternal
religion', which means that "every religion has, besides its literal
meaning, an esoteric dimension, which is essential, primordial and
universal." (1037) Frithjof Schuon, considered the foremost
spokesman of religio perennis and author of books such as The
Transcendent Unity of Religions, calls this dialogue 'esoteric
ecumenism'.
"These commonalities suggest the possibility for a deeper kind of
religious dialogue than is customary in our day, a dialogue which
seeks to foster what Frithjof Schuon has called inward or 'esoteric'
ecumenism, and which, while respecting the integrity of traditional
dogmas and rites, 'calls into play the wisdom which can discern the
one sole Truth under the veil of different forms'." (1027)
This strategy has been voiced by a number of leading figures in
Protestantism, Catholicism and Orthodoxy; in fact, these are the very
personages with whom Bishop Ware is sharing platforms in symposiums
such as the Ecumenical Conference for Traditional Christians sponsored
by Touchstone Magazine. All of the presenters at this conference—Dom
Laurence Freeman, a Benedictine monk and Director of the World Center
for Christian Meditation, J.I. Packer of Renovare and Richard Neuhaus
(Catholic priest/author, ECT Document), Harold O.J. Brown of the
UN/Mormon-affiliated World Congress of Families, James Cutsinger
(mentioned above) and others—are affiliated with heterodox
organizations.
The John Main Seminar is an annual event held by the UK-based World
Center for Christian Mediation to "celebrates the life and teaching of
the Benedictine monk whose life's work was passing on the ancient
practice of Christian Meditation." The seminar has in the past
featured as speakers the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, who
is a member of the Order of Druids; the Dalai Lama, the Buddhist High
Priest; assorted Catholic priests; and Kallistos Ware, who was
presenter of the seminar in 2002.
"Bishop Kallistos of Diokleia (Timothy Ware) will lead the John
Main Seminar 2002. He is a member of the Monastery of St. John the
Theologian, Patmos, Greece and one of the Assistant Bishops of the
Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain (under the
Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople).
"Since 1966, Bishop Kallistos has taught in the Faculty of
Theology at Oxford University and is a past chairman of the board of
the theology department in Oxford. Active in work for Christian unity,
among his many charisms, Bishop Kallistos also speaks French. His
books include 'The Orthodox Church' and 'The Orthodox Way', and he is
co-translator of 'The Philokalia'. His latest book is 'The Inner
Kingdom', published in 2000...
[at end of page]:
"The World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM) is an
international community that practices and teaches meditation in the
Christian tradition in over 60 countries, some 25 meditation centres
and a large number of meditation groups, including just under 200 in
Canada.
"The John Main Seminar is the Community's premiere annual event
held in honour of Dom John Main (1926-1982), the inspiration and
founder of The World Community for Christian Meditation. Recent
Seminar presenters have included: Archbishop Rowan Williams, His
Holiness the Dalai Lama, Professor Huston Smith, Fr. Thomas Keating,
Jean Vanier and Mary McAleese, President of Ireland. The Seminar was
last held in Canada in 1993 with William Johnston, S.J., as speaker."

Prior to the Archbishop of Canterbury's installation ceremony last
year, Rowan Williams was inducted into the Ancient Order of Druids. We
suspect that the Church of England's affiliation with the Druid Order
is really nothing new; that all who have filled this high office of
the Church of England have been closet Druids. The Times article, "Why
the Archbishop is embracing pagan roots" by Ruth Gledhill, July 19,
2002, reported the event:
"...the new Archbishop of Canterbury will be inducted as a druid in a
200-year-old ceremony with pagan roots in Wales next month. As the sun
rises over a circle of Pembrokeshire bluestones, the Archbishop of
Wales, the Most Rev Dr Rowan Williams, will don a long white cloak
while druids chant a prayer to the ancient god and goddess of the
land. After a trumpet fanfare and the thrice partial sheathing and
unsheathing of a 6ft6in sword, a citation will be read. Dr Williams
will close his hands in prayer while the archdruid, wearing a crown
and shield over his bardic robes, will enfold them in his own and
utter words of welcome. That will be the moment that Dr Williams, who
will adopt a new, bardic name, is accepted into the white druidic
order, the highest of three orders of the Gorsedd of Bards, the Welsh
body of poets, musicians, writers and artists. The Mistress of the
Robes, Sian Aman, will then clothe him in a druidic white headdress,
and a steward will lead him to join the other assembled druids inside
a sacred circle." (595)
The Dalai Lama, a presenter at the WCCM John Main Seminar in 1994, has
of late been conjuring evil spirits in Hitler's old stomping grounds
in preparation for the Fourth Reich. These rituals, which are
detailed on a Buddhist education website, will hopefully give the
reader an idea of the teachings of the Dalai Lama at the John Main
Seminars.
"On October 11-23, 2002, the Kalachakra for World Peace will take
place in Graz, Austria. Thousands of participants from over 30 nations
are to be initiated into tantric teachings by the Dalai Lama XIV. The
event is being supported by the Mayor of Graz and the Provincial and
Federal Government in Austria. The Kalachakra tantra ritual is the key
initiation rite into tantric or Tibetan Buddhism. It is a shamanistic
process involving the conjuring of 722 spirits to be released over the
land.
"According to church leaders in Austria and Germany the Dalai Lama
wants to make Graz the pillar of a bridge for Buddhism into the
Western world. Buddhists prophesied that the next Dalai Lama will
reincarnate in the Western world. In Graz children shall be presented
to the Dalai Lama, to see if the next dalai lama is among them.
According to some prayer leaders the rituals in Graz are linking into
the nazi mythology that was typical for Austria during the Third
Reich. Graz at that time was the main city embracing Hitler...
"The Kalachakra tantra ritual is the key initiation rite into tantric
or Tibetan Buddhism and is given over the course of 12 days. First,
there are eight days of preparatory rituals, during which monks make a
mandala. The Dalai Lama presides over the complex event, which,
essentially, is a shamanistic process involving the conjuring of 722
spirits through music, prayers, veneration, dances etc. These spirits
are invited to take up residence in the mandala, or spiritual house,
which has been built for them. The initiation event is completed when
the Dalai Lama ritually destroys the mandala after all meditation and
initiatory rites have been completed. The spirits are thereby released
over the land while the initiates retain the spiritual connection to
Kalachakra and his world, having internalized them through meditation.
The sand from the mandala is poured into a nearby body of water; in
Graz, the river Mur, which flows from Austria to Slovenia - where the
Dalai Lama also starts his visits and preparations." (991)
In addition to his activities at the World Community for Christian
Meditation, Kallistos Ware has shared platforms with Benedictine monk,
Dom Laurence Freeman of the John Main Institute, J.I. Packer and
Richard Neuhaus (authors of the ECT Document), Harold O.J. Brown of
the UN/Mormon-affiliated World Congress of Families and other Catholic
and Evangelical priests and apologists. The following brochure was
published in Touchstone Magazine, a Journal of the Greek Orthodox
Fellowship of St. James, advertising a 1995 conference to promote
ecumenism among the Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox traditions.

Not of This World:
An Ecumenical Conference for Traditional Christians
Co-sponsored by Rose Hill College and Touchstone
May 16-20, 1995
Hosted by Rose Hill College (Aiken South Carolina)
Ecumenical gatherings are hardly unique, but they have too often been
excuses for dismantling the faith. This conference, "Not of this
World: An Ecumenical Conference for Traditional Christians," tried
something different: to test whether an "ecumenical orthodoxy,"
solidly based upon the classic Christian faith, can become the
foundation for a unified and transformative witness to the age we live
in.
Leading theologians and other Christian scholars, who represent a
variety of affiliations and backgrounds, but who are alike in their
personal and intellectual commitment to the traditional Christian
faith, gathered to discuss whether they can together defend and
communicate their common faith in an increasingly faithless world.

"Edited by a bevy of mainly younger Protestants, Orthodox, and Roman
Catholics, Touchstone advances an ecumenism of orthodoxy defined by
the Great Tradition. The Touchstone people are bracingly conscientious
and determined to follow where the Spirit leads." - Richard John
Neuhaus, Editor-in-Chief, First Things [Roman Catholic]
"Touchstone serves the most significant form of ecumenical endeavor
today: the rallying and coalescing of those in all the churches who
stand for doctrinal, moral, and devotional orthodoxy. The fact that
Touchstone exists to serve this purpose gives it great importance." -
J. I. Packer Author, Knowing God [Anglican]
"Touchstone is a voice that greatly needs to be heard in today's
Christian world. If this is what robust ecumenism means, we need more
of it!" - Kallistos Ware, Bishop of Diokleia & Spalding Lecturer in
Eastern Studies at Oxford University [Eastern Orthodox]
This alliance of Reformed, Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditions,
which calls itself the 'Confessing Movement,' is appealing to all
Christians, i.e. Protestant, Roman Catholic or Orthodox, to embrace
the teachings and practices of mysticism as authentic Christianity.
Those who practice Gnostic mysticism usually hide within the organized
Church system and claim to follow primitive Christianity. A.E. Waite
wrote in The Hidden Church of the Holy Grail:
"...I should look assuredly to the East, in the direction of that pure
catholic gnosticism which lies like a pearl of great price within
the...shell of external Christianity, which is not of Marcion or
Valentinus, or Cerenthus and all their cohorts, but is the unexpressed
mystery of experience in deep wells which issue no strife or sects." -
179:681
DEIFICATION THROUGH THE DIVINE ENERGIES
According to Webster's Dictionary, mysticism is:
1. the experience of mystical union or direct communion with ultimate
reality reported by mystics; 2. the belief that direct knowledge of
God, spiritual truth, or ultimate reality can be attained through
subjective experience (as intuition or insight); 3. a vague
speculation : a belief without sound basis b : a theory postulating
the possibility of direct and intuitive acquisition of ineffable
knowledge or power.
Mystics rely primarily on subjective experiences to formulate their
beliefs about God, rather than making Scripture the final authority in
matters of faith and practice. The writings of mystics may claim the
primacy of Scripture, but in practice they ignore its finer points of
doctrine. For example, the following promotional for the John Main
Seminar described the mantra technique taught by Kallistos Ware for
receiving visions of the divine light of God. The use of mantras,
however, is a direct violation of Christ's command: But when ye pray,
use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they
shall be heard for their much speaking. Mt. 6:7
"Countless Christians over the centuries have found a way of entry
through practicing the invocation of the Holy Name: in the West often
through the repetition of the name 'Jesus' on its own; in the East
more commonly through a longer phrase, such as 'Lord Jesus Christ, Son
of God, have mercy on me.'
"This is a prayer in words; but, because the words are so few and
so simple, they reach beyond the words into silence; more exactly,
they enable us to discover the silence that is hidden in the heart of
the words themselves.
"In the Seminar we shall explore the distant origins of the Jesus
Prayer among the Desert Fathers and Mothers of Egypt. We shall see how
in Sinai and Mount Athos the invocation of the Name came to be
accompanied by a physical technique, involving a positive use of the
body. We shall learn also how, in the experience of the saints, the
Jesus Prayer brought them to the vision of the Divine Light of Tabor.
"The Jesus Prayer is a prayer that all can use, requiring as it
does no special knowledge or elaborate preparation; yet it is a prayer
that leads to the deepest mysteries of contemplation. It is being
practiced today more than ever in the past, and is especially suited
to our present age of anxiety. Because it is rooted in the traditions
of both the Christian East and the Christian West, it can serve as a
powerful instrument in our shared quest for unity. The practice of the
Jesus Prayer is akin to the teaching of Christian Meditation and other
forms of the rich tradition of Christian contemplative prayer." -
Bishop Kallistos of Diokleia (572)
Pagans also use mantras for invoking spirits. It is probable that
another Jesus is summoned by repeating the name in an invocatory
manner, since the real Jesus has forbidden mindless repetitive forms
of prayer. Kallistos Ware nevertheless avers that suspending one's
mental faculties and repeating the 'Jesus Prayer' leads to a vision of
the Divine Light of Tabor. This mystical experience in greater detail
in Kallistos Ware's book, The Orthodox Way:
“…God is revealed as light above all at the Transfiguration of Christ
on Mount Tabor, when ‘his face shone as the sun, and his raiment was
white as the light’ (Matt. 17:2). This divine light, seen by the three
disciples on the mountain—seen also by many of the saints during
prayer—is nothing else than the uncreated energies of God. This light
of Tabor, that is to say, is neither a physical and created light, nor
yet a purely metaphorical ‘light of the intellect’. Although
non-material, it is nevertheless an objectively existent reality.
Being divine, the uncreated energies surpass our human powers of
description; and so, in terming these energies ‘light’, we are
inevitably employing the language of ‘sign’ and symbol. Not that the
energies are themselves merely symbolical. They genuinely exist, but
cannot be described in words; in referring to them as ‘light’ we use
the least misleading term, but our language is not to be interpreted
literally.” (633:127)
The gnostic strives for visions of the Divine Light, yet nowhere in
Scripture is the believer led down the path to mystical experiences.
The reader is then admonished by Kallistos Ware that his senses must
be 'transformed' in order to see the light that is non-physical. This
paranormal activity is attributed to the indwelling Holy Spirit.
“Although non-physical, the divine light can be seen by a man through
his physical eyes, provided that his senses have been transformed by
divine grace. His eyes do not behold the light by the natural powers
of perception, but through the power of the Holy Spirit acting within
him.” (633:127)
Through an ecstatic vision of the Divine Light of Tabor, Kallistos
Ware claims the body is deified. The doctrine of the 'deification of
man' is central to Eastern Orthodox doctrine This false doctrine of
deification runs the gamut of false religions. Not only do the
'transformed' eyes see the Divine Light, the body is permeated with
it. This sounds suspiciously like demon possession.
“’The body is deified at the same time as the soul’ (St Maximus
the Confessor). He who beholds the divine light is permeated by it
through and through, so that his body shines with the glory that he
contemplates. He himself becomes light. Vladimir Lossky was not
speaking merely in metaphors when he wrote: ‘The fire of grace,
kindled in the hearts of Christians by the Holy Spirit, makes them
shine like tapers before the Son of God.’ The Homilies of St Macarius
affirm concerning this transfiguration of man’s body:
“Just as the Lord’s body was glorified, when he went up the mountain
and was transfigured into the glory of God and into infinite light, so
the saints’ bodies also are glorified and shine as lightning… ‘The
glory which thou hast given to me I have given to them’ (John 17:22):
just as many lamps are lit from one flame, so the bodies of the
saints, being members of Christ, must needs be what Christ is, and
nothing else… Our human nature is transformed into the power of God,
and it is kindled into fire and light.’
“…In the lives of the saints, Western as well as Eastern, there are
numerous examples of such bodily glorification… In The Sayings of the
Desert Fathers we are told how a disciple looked through the window of
Abba Arsenius’ cell, and saw the old man ‘like a flame of fire’. Of
Abba Pambo, it is said, ‘God so glorified him that no one could look
at his face, because of the glory which his face had.’…
“…as Jacob Boehme puts it, ‘The darkness is not the absence of light,
but the terror that comes from the blinding light.’” (Bishop Kallistos
Ware) - (633:128)
For theological support of the ecstatic experience of 'deification,'
Bishop Ware appeals to mystic monks and canonized saints as
authorities, rather than Scripture—except to misapply the Scriptures
concerning the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, who is Deity Himself.
Jacob Boehme (1575-1624), cited by Ware as a spiritual authority, was
a German mystic whose writings were a precursor to existentialist
philosophy. Boehme directly influenced the German Romantics, Hegel,
Baader, and Schelling, and indirectly the existentialist philosophers
Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Hartmann, Bergson, and Heidegger; Paul
Tillich, Martin Buber and even Carl Jung. Boehme's 'terror that comes
from the blinding light' is a phenomenon peculiar to initiation rites.
Alice Bailey described this mystical experience in one of her many
books channeled through her spirit guide, Djwal Khul, titled
Discipleship in the New Age. In the chapter 'Teachings on Initiation'
Bailey states:
"We come now to our second point, that initiation veils a secret and
that the revelation of that secret is imminent. Just what this secret
is, I may not reveal, but it is concerned with a peculiar type of
energy which can be induced at a moment of supreme tension. The only
possible hint I can give you in connection with this mysterious matter
is that it is closely related to the 'Blinding Light' which Saul of
Tarsus saw on the road to Damascus and the 'blinding light' which
accompanied the discharge of energy from the atomic bomb. The
'Blinding Light' which ever accompanies true conversion (a rare and
sudden happening always when true and real) and which is an attendant
demonstration of all Lives who have passed the human stage of
consciousness - according to their degree - and the light which is
released by the fission of the atom are one and the same expression on
different levels of consciousness, and are definitely related to the
processes and effects of initiation. This will not even make sense to
you until certain initiate-experiences have been undergone by you. It
is not easy for the average aspirant to realize that progressive
stages upon the Path indicate a progressive ability to 'take the
Light.' When the aspirant prays in the new Invocation: 'Let Light
descend on Earth' he is invoking something which humanity will have to
learn to handle; this is one of the things for which the disciples of
the world must begin to prepare the race of men." (1028)
By way of comparison to Bishop Ware's meditative technique, we will
now consider an extract from Aleister Crowley's book, Magick in Theory
and Practice, Chapter XV titled "Of the Invocation". Note the
elements common to 'Christian mystical' and 'Satanic magick' rituals
of invocation—forgetfulness, total passivity, letting oneself go,
mantras suitable to the gods, the blinding light (Lucifer),
transformation of the body and union with God—after which Crowley
correctly observes "there is no distinction between magick and
meditation"!!
"In the straightforward or 'Protestant' system of Magick... The
Magician addresses a direct petition to the Being invoked. But the
secret of success in invocation has not hitherto been disclosed. It is
an exceedingly simple one. It is practically of no importance whatever
that the invocation should be 'right'. There are a thousand different
ways of compassing the end proposed, so far as external things are
concerned. The whole secret may be summarised in these four words:
"Enflame thyself in praying." This is Qabalistically expressed in the
old Formula: Domine noster, audi tuo servo! kyrie Christe! O Christe!
[Our Lord, hear your servant! Come Christ! O Christ!]
"The mind must be exalted until it loses consciousness of self. The
Magician must be carried forward blindly by a force which, though in
him and of him, is by no means that which he in his normal state of
consciousness calls I. Just as the poet, the lover, the artist, is
carried out of himself in a creative frenzy, so must it be for the
Magician...
"Every Magician must compose his ceremony in such a manner as to
produce a dramatic climax. At the moment when the excitement becomes
ungovernable, when then the whole conscious being of the Magician
undergoes a spiritual spasm, at that moment must he utter the supreme
adjuration.
"One very effective method is to stop short, by a supreme effort of
will, again and again, on the very brink of that spasm, until a time
arrives when the idea of exercising that will fails to occur. This
forgetfulness must be complete; it is fatal to try to 'let oneself go'
consciously.
"Inhibition is no longer possible or even thinkable, and the whole
being of the Magician, no minutest atom saying nay, is irresistibly
flung forth. In blinding light, amid the roar of ten thousand
thunders, the Union of God and man is consummated.
"If the Magician is still seen standing in the Circle, quietly
pursuing his invocations, it is that all the conscious part of him has
become detached from the true ego which lies behind that normal
consciousness. But the circle is wholly filled with that divine
essence; all else is but an accident and an illusion.
"The subsequent invocations, the gradual development and
materialization of the force, require no effort. It is one great
mistake of the beginner to concentrate his force upon the actual
stated purpose of the ceremony. This mistake is the most frequent
cause of failures in invocation.
"A corollary of this Theorem is that the Magician soon discards
evocation almost altogether --- only rare circumstances demand any
action what ever on the material plane. The Magician devotes himself
entirely to the invocation of a god; and as soon as his balance
approaches perfection he ceases to invoke any partial god; only that
god vertically above him is in his path. And so a man who perhaps took
up Magick merely with the idea of acquiring knowledge, love, or
wealth, finds himself irrevocably committed to the performance of The
Great Work.
"It will now be apparent that there is no distinction between magick
and meditation except of the most arbitrary and accidental kind. There
is the general metaphysical antithesis that Magick is the Art of the
Will-to-Live, Mysticism of the Will-to-Die; but --- 'Truth comes
bubbling to my brim; Life and Death are one to Him!'.
"Beside these open methods thee are also a number of mental methods of
Invocation, of which we may give three.
"The first method concerns the so-called astral body. The Magician
should practise the formation of this body as recommended in Liber O,
and learn to rise on the planes according to the instruction given in
the same book, though limiting his 'rising' to the particular symbol
whose God he wishes to invoke.
"The second is to recite a mantra suitable to the God.
"The third is the assumption of the form of the God --- by transmuting
the astral body into His shape. This last method is really essential
to all proper invocation, and cannot be too sedulously practised."
(1011)
Crowley stated that the end of this ceremony, and indeed of all ritual
magick, is the 'Great Work', which means the unification of the
Microcosm (initiate) with the Macrocosm (Lucifer). In other words,
demon possession.
In Volume III of his series, The Spiritual Man, Watchman Nee warned
against the spiritual dangers of passivity in the believer, which
opens the door to altered states of consciousness and possession by
demonic spirits.
"What primarily precipitates the enemy's invasion among the 'heathen'
and among carnal Christians is wilful sin; but 'the primary cause of
deception ... in surrendered believers may be condensed into one word,
passivity; that is, a cessation of the active exercise of the will in
control over spirit, soul and body, or either, as may be the case.'
The organ of volition ceases to choose and decide matters referred to
it. 'The word passivity simply describes the opposite condition to
activity; and in the experience of the believer it means, briefly, (1)
loss of self-control in the sense of the person himself controlling
each, or all, of the departments of his personal being; and (2) loss
of freewill in the sense of the person himself exercising his will as
the guiding principle of personal control, in harmony with the will of
God.' The passivity of a saint arises out of the non-use of his
various talents. He has a mouth but refuses to talk because he hopes
the Holy Spirit will speak through it. He has hands but will not
engage them since he expects God to do it. He does not exercise any
part of his person but waits for God to move him. He considers himself
fully surrendered to God; so he no longer will use any element of his
being. Thus he falls into an inertia which opens the way for deception
and invasion." (1012)
The Lord Jesus also warned of the dangers of states of passivity. Luke
11 records the manner in which Jesus taught His disciples to pray and
His exhortation to ask for the Holy Spirit, with simple faith they
would receive precisely whatever they request of the Father. No vain
repetitions, no transformed senses, no visions of divine light, only
humble believing prayer. In fact, Jesus sternly admonished those who
were seeking after signs and wonder, calling such men an 'evil
generation'. Our Lord also included a concise teaching on how to
protect oneself against demon possession. Having been delivered from
the power of Satan, the Christian must guard himself against any
spiritual practice which would produce an altered state of
consciousness.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto
my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept
and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits
more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the
last state of that man is worse than the first. Luke 11:24-26
THE HOUSE OF VERE
Is Kallistos Ware the False Prophet? If he would exercise all the
power of the Antichrist, per Revelation 13:12, the False Prophet must
be a member of the Merovingian bloodline. Previously mentioned is the
fact that Godfroi de Bouillon—the first Grand Master of the Knights
Templar who captured Jerusalem in 1099—was a member of the Merovingian
de Vere bloodline. According to Dagobert's Revenge website, the
exalted pedigree of this bloodline requires an organization whose sole
purpose to protect its purity and perpetuity:
"...The Holy Grail itself was Elven as was Jesus himself, complete
with his Crown of Fairy Thorns, depicted as the headgear of Godfroi de
Vere de Bouillon in the 12th century...
"The Dragon Court exists as an organization solely for the
bloodline descendants of the ancient Vere family — the senior
bloodline successors as a Scythian-Merovin, Elven House of Princess
Maelasanu—and for those whose bloodlines are extracted from this
descent and its ancient Dragon Court." (342:5)
As King Arthur's Dragon Court was originally comprised of twenty-four
knights, there are currently twenty-four families representing the Rex
Deus group and the Dragon Court. These are supposedly descendants of
Israel's twenty-four priestly families; they reign, but do not yet
rule, as occult priest kings. As stated, the Dragon Court exists to
protect the descendants of the ancient Vere family of the Merovingian
bloodline, out of which will eventually come the Antichrist. [See:
Antichrist in Virgo] Prince Nicholas de Vere von Drakenberg is
currently the Sovereign Grand Master of the Imperial and Royal Dragon
Court & Order.
The Druidic Council of Elders are represented by the Dragon Court,
which is comprised of twenty-six members of royalty from Eurasian
countries that help comprise the European Council of Princes. These
twenty-six members will be a false twenty-four elders plus the
Antichrist and False Prophet. The Druidic head dragon king
(Pendragon), which has historically been called the 'King of Kings',
will be the Antichrist.
Also previously documented in this series is the fact that Pierre
Plantard de Saint-Clair and his son, Thomas, the former and current
Grand Masters of the Prieuré de Sion, descended from Godfroi de Vere
de Bouillon, the first Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion. In Genesis
of the Grail Kings, Laurence Gardner identified the Plantard bloodline
as a branch of the House of Vere:
"The Plantagenets were themselves a junior branch of the House of
Anjou, whose senior branch was the House of Vere [whose] ancestry was
jointly Pictish and Merovingian descending from the ancient Grail
House of Scythia." (248:8)
Kallistos Ware would also be a member of the Merovingian Vere
bloodline. The following are variations of the Vere surname found in
different countries and various dialects. For example, Weir is a
Scottish form of Vere, the Old English Wer is related to Old Norse
ver, Were is Old Frisian, Wehr/Weir is German, etc.
VERE / WEIR: Vere, de Ver, Ver, de Ver, Veer, Vear(e), Veir, Veyre,
Vare, Veary, Very, Vary, Vire, Revere, Sver(e), Svar, Shpere,
Spear(e), Spere, Svear, Fere, Fear, Fairy; Ware, Wayer, Waer, Weyir,
Weyr, Weir(e), Weier, Wear, Weary, Wehre, Werre, Weer, Werr, Wyre
The werewolf is also derived from this surname.

+ wulf a wolf; cf. G. w["a]rwolf, w["a]hrwolf, wehrwolf, a werewolf,
MHG. werwolf. [root]285. See {Were} a man, and {Wolf}, and cf.
{Virile}, {World}.]
A person transformed into a wolf in form and appetite, either
temporarily or permanently, whether by supernatural influences, by
witchcraft, or voluntarily; a lycanthrope. Belief in werewolves,
formerly general, is not now extinct. (868)

King James I opened his book, The Daemonologie, with mention of a
German occultist named Weirus: "...WIERUS, a German Phisition, sets
out a publick apologie for all these crafts-folks, wherby, procuring
for their impunitie, he plainely bewrayes himselfe to have bene one of
that profession."
It is also noteworthy that President George Bush is also a member of
the Merovingian Vere bloodline. See our report: Heeding Bible Prophecy
The name Vere means 'Truth'. In the French language, the word for
'truth' is 'vérité'; German is 'verdad'; Italian is 'verità'; Latin is
'veritas'. As in William Cooper's organization, Veritas.
Edgar Allen Poe's Ulalume is full of esoteric meaning which only an
occultist would comprehend. However, Poe's obsession with the
'ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir' is explicable and relevant to any
inquiry as to the identity of the two Beasts of Revelation 13.
Our talk had been serious and sober,
But our thoughts they were palsied and sere—
Our memories were treacherous and sere—
For we knew not the month was October,
And we marked not the night of the year—
(Ah, night of all nights in the year!)
We noted not the dim lake of Auber—
(Though once we had journeyed down here)—
We remembered not the dank tarn of Auber,
Nor the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir. (981)
"Weir" is the German spelling of the ancient French House of Vere of
the Merovingian bloodline. And it is from the the Vere bloodline that
the Antichrist and False Prophet which will eventually come.
Brother Truth?
The motto of the Theosophical Society founded by Helena P. Blavatsky,
states: "There is no religion higher than truth." In her tomes, The
Secret Doctrine and Isis Unveiled, Blavatsky remonstrated against the
revealed truth of Scripture and pontificated on her version of truth
which is based in the ancient wisdom texts. This 'mother of the New
Age' preached that all ideas — whatever their source — should be
tested against one's knowledge, experience, and intuition, as if these
subjective factors were reliable determinants of truth. As perceived
by the occultist, truth is God, however, as Peter Dawkins expressed in
Arcadia, the occultist wallows in his own reasonings about God rather
than acknowledging the truth of Scripture: "Through thinking man comes
to understand and eventually, through thought put into action, to know
truth - to know God." (889:113) Thomas Paine stated it more
succinctly: "My own mind is my own church."
The occult version of the 'Truth' embraces the falsehood that Lucifer
is God; Aleister Crowley referred to him as "Lord God the Devil." The
corollary to this fallacy is the belief that Lucifer will defeat Jesus
Christ in a final battle, when the armies of the Antichrist are
arrayed against Him and His heavenly armies. The occultist, of
course, derives his understanding of the 'Truth' from communication
with Lucifer, the "father of lies," and his hosts of lying spirits.
However, Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life, not Lucifer.
Truth is to be found in Scripture alone; specifically Psalm 2 and
Revelation 20, accurately foretell the outcome of the Antichrist's
battle against Jesus Christ.
Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas state in The Second Messiah
concerning Roslyn Chapel in Scotland, "when Rosslyn is excavated the
truth will conquer all." These Masonic authors claim to have
"uncovered the origins of Freemasonry which showed how modern Masonic
rituals developed from those once used by the Jerusalem Church and
later developed by the famous Crusader Order of the Knights Templar."
Knight and Lomas further suggest that the high priests of the
Jerusalem Church assumed the names of the major angels—7 angels to be
exact.
"The twenty-eighth degree of the 'Knight of the Sun' claims that
it is the Key of Masonry... The degree describes all the Masonic
symbols, and the overall purpose is given as the inculcation of truth.
A lecture on truth is delivered in sections by nine officers who are
called Thrice Perfect Father Adam, Brother Truth, Michael, Gabrielle,
Raphael, Zaphriel, Camael, Azrael and Uriel. Over the entrance to the
chamber where the degree is conferred is written: 'Ye who have not the
power to subdue passion, flee from this place of truth'.
"The last seven names used in this degree are those of the major
angels. The Frenchman who told the story of the two schools of
Jerusalem at the time of Jesus said that the high priests of Yahweh
used these names for themselves. Perhaps as the new high priesthood of
Yahweh, the Knights Templar also took these names.
"...The emphasis on 'truth' brought back to mind the sole
inscription in Rosslyn [Chapel] that reads: '...truth will conquer
all'." (96:14)
These nine officers of Masonry were probably intended to correspond to
the original nine knights of the Order of the Temple, who also
prefigure the Council of Nine which will rule the New World Order:
the Antichrist, False Prophet and seven planetary angels. When he
comes to power, the Antichrist will be known as the Third Adam (the
first and second Adam being the heavenly Adam-Kadmon and fallen,
earthly Adam respectively). Second in command, the False Prophet, will
be affectionately called Brother Truth, and will be a religious figure
who interprets the Law. Significantly, members of monastic orders
refer to each other as 'Brother'. Kallistos Ware, a Greek Orthodox
monk whose surname means 'Truth' fits the bill for this office of
False Prophet.
According to The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and Discovery of the
Dead Sea Scrolls, "God...will save his people by the hands of two
messianic figures who arise at the end of time; one from 'Branch of
David', and the other 'The Interpreter of the Law'." (162:201) These
two figures answer to the Antichrist and False Prophet who will pose
as the saviors of Israel and the world. We have demonstrated that the
most likely candidate for Antichrist, Thomas Plantard de Saint Claire,
will present himself as the 'Branch'. As the right hand man of the
Antichrist, the False Prophet will function as the high priest who
interprets the laws of his pagan religious system.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two
horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. - Rev. 13:11
The reference to the False Prophet having 'two horns like a lamb' may
refer to Bishop Kallistos Ware's leadership in both the Anglican and
Eastern Orthodox churches, both apostate forms of the true Christian
faith. 'He spake as a dragon' would refer to the False Prophet's
descent from the Dragon race, the Merovingian bloodline.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and
causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so
that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of
men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power
to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small
and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of
his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is
Six hundred threescore and six. - Rev. 13:11-18
Subordinate to the Antichrist (Father Adam) and the False Prophet
(Brother Truth) will be a counterfeit Michael the Archangel who
presides over the seven planetary angels, who will be the seven kings
who rule under the Antichrist. In ancient Egypt, "...Hermes
Trismegestus taught the idea of the seven governors of the world,
planetary angels..." (350:115)
"...the Gnostics derived some of their lore from the stellar religion
practiced by the Chaldean astrologers. They adopted the seven
planetary spirits or gods... represented by the classical gods of
Roman and Greek mythology—Mercury (Hermes), Venus (Aphrodite), Mars
(Aries), Jupiter (Zeus), Saturn (Chronos), Sol and Luna. In Gnostic
belief these gods were transformed into archangels who became the
central focus of medieval magic and the Hermetic tradition." (25:24)
J.R.R. Tolkein's Trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, presages this angelic
Council of Nine which will rule the world. Note in the following
statement which appears in Laurence Gardner's Realm of the Ring Lords,
that the Lord of the Rings is the Sun-god, and that this person
corresponds to the Beast that rises out of the cosmic sea in Rev.13:1,
aka the Antichrist. Next in position was the planetary god of the
Earth, corresponding to the "Beast that rises out of the earth" - And
I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two
horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (Rev. 13:11)
"In Ring Lore...[he] who held the Ninth Ring, the One Ring was Lord of
the Rings. In ancient times, the One Ring was representative of the
overlordship of the Sun, with the other key Eight Rings representing
the planetary kingdoms of Earth, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune and Mercury." (722:271 ff.6)
Nicholas de Vere, Sovereign Grand Master of the Dragon Court, informs
us that the surname 'Vere' means vampire which means overlord, and
that both derive from the Sanskrit word, Aryan, which means Lord:
"If spelt literally vampire would be uavber, uauber, or uaupir , which
is the central European oupire or oupere. These variants stem from the
Sanskrit upari (Up-Ari or Up-Arya, meaning Over-Lord)... Over
(ME-ouere) began a graphic variant of uuere which translates into the
dynastic name Vere with the Latin V being interchangeable with the
double U for hard Germanic W which became V— rendering Ver or Were."
(353:4)
There is in fact, at present, an earthly Council of Nine in France
which appears to be headed by the Prieuré de Sion. The reader will
recall that the Prieuré de Sion is located in Paris. A prominent
occultist of the early twentieth century, R. Swinburne Clymer who
directed the the oldest Rosicrucian body in the U.S.—the Fraternitas
Rosae Crucis—claimed that his organization was directed by a Council
of Nine in France. Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince reprint the Council
of Nine's directive in The Stargate Conspiracy:
"Clymer claimed that the doctrines of his society were endorsed by a
secret order that directed it from France—called the Council of Nine.
He published a letter from them in 1932, which proclaimed: 'This is
the New Dispensation, and the work of the Spiritual and Mystical
Fraternities must be reestablished around the world, so that all
peoples may be taught the Law and thereby enabled to apply it towards
universal improvement as the only means of saving mankind... We, the
Council of Nine, have selected your organization, as one of the oldest
in America to help to this work.'
"This letter was signed by the excessively immodest 'Comte M. de St
Vincent, Premier Plenipotentiary of the Council of Nine of the
Confraternities of the World.'... Another title of the Council of
Nine, according to Clymer, was the 'Secret School'." (268:288)
CALLISTO, THE GREAT BEAR
"Like Ursa Minor, Ursa Major is neither a dipper or a bear. Rather it
is the greater sheepfold, as pictured in the most ancient planispheres
or zodiacs of the various nations... "Other stars in Ursa Major are El
Alcola, 'The Sheepfold'; Cab'd al Asad, 'Multitude of the Assembled';
El Kaprah, 'The Protected,' or in Hebrew 'The Redeemed' or 'Ransomed.'
A more familiar star, Callisto, again means 'The Sheepfold.'..." (D.
James Kennedy) (872:114)
Not only does Bishop Ware fit the description of 'Brother Truth,' his
assumed name upon entrance to monastic life is 'Kallistos', the Greek
form of the Roman Callisto, which is the Great Bear/Ursa Major
constellation.
CALLISTO (2) f Roman Mythology
Roman form of KALLISTO. A moon of Jupiter bears this name. (664)
KALLISTO f Greek Mythology, Ancient Greek
Derived from Greek kallistos meaning "most beautiful". In Greek
mythology Kallisto was a nymph who was loved by Zeus. She was changed
into a she-bear by Hera, and subsequently became the Great Bear
constellation. This was also an ancient Greek personal name. (665)
Teachers of the false 'gospel in the stars', have misled their readers
that Callisto, one of the stars in Ursa Major, means "Sheepfold."
However, this star was named after a Roman lesbian goddess, Callisto,
whose name means "most beautiful".
Callisto - “Most beautiful; a title of Artemis as totemic She-Bear and
mother of Arcas, the Little Bear.” (Greek Myth) / kallistos (663)
In Greek mythology, Callisto was the daughter of King Lycaon II and a
nymph of Artemis, the Roman Diana, to whom she made a vow of chastity.
Callisto, however, was seduced by Jupiter (the Roman Zeus) and turned
into a bear, either by Zeus, Hera or Diana, depending on which version
is read.
"In Greek mythology Callisto, daughter of King Lycaon (wolf), was
chosen as a young child to be one of Artemis's companions. Now Artemis
was Apollo's sister, patroness of childbirth and protector of babies
and of suckling animals. The one thing she prized above all was her
chastity; she even asked Zeus for eternal virginity, which he granted.
"Artemis gathered about her a number of young nymphs. Reflecting her
own vows of chastity, she also required complete fidelity from these
young women (girls actually, who would grow into womanhood). One of
these was Callisto.
"Zeus had the habit of seducing young maidens, and eventually he got
around to Callisto. When Artemis discovered that Callisto was
pregnant, she took her revenge. Artemis loved to hunt; she would take
her revenge in the chase. So she changed Callisto into a bear...
"So Artemis's plan was to have Callisto, as a bear, hunted down and
killed. But Zeus took pity, and sent Callisto to the heavens, keeping
the same form of a bear. Her son Arcas would grow up to be the
ancestral founder of the Arcadians, before he too joined his mother in
the heavens as Ursa Minor." (666)
Zeus/Jupiter, the son of Saturn/Chronos, was the king of Atlantis
whose offspring with Callisto was Arcas, the founder of the Greek
Arcadia, ancient home of the Merovingians. The term lycanthropy
derives from the mythical King of Arcadia, Lycaon, whom Zeus turned
into a wolf for performing child sacrificing with his fifty sons.
Recall that Danaus, who had fifty daughters, was made king of Argos
after Apollo (twin brother of Artemis), disguised himself as a wolf
and terrorized the inhabitants of this city.
"Occultly," wrote Blavatsky, "lycanthropy means the same as
'were-wolf', the psychological faculty of certain sorcerers to appear
as wolves." (316:193-4) It was in ancient Greece that the cult of the
werewolf originated. In his book, The Sirius Mystery, Robert Temple
associates the wolf with the Dog Star Sirius, where the gods reside,
and fifty daughters or sons in Greco-Egyptian mythology with fifty
celestial thrones orbiting Sirius:
"The element of the wolf, sometimes substituted for a dog in the
Sirius tradition of the Dog Star, is important. It is an obvious
European substitute for the non-existent jackal of Anubis. It was from
this changing of the jackal into the wolf through adaptation to the
European clime that those peculiar wolf traditions arose in Arcadia
which developed in pre-classical times into the werewolf concepts.
Human blood-sucking vampires,...and lycanthropy of werewolves all
luxuriated in the wilds of Arcady among the Pelasgian survivors in
pre-classical Greece after the Dorian invasion... What is a werewolf?
It is a man's body with a wolf's head.... And the temples of Wolfish
(or Lycian) Apollo, were not altogether rare in Greece. Aristotle's
famous school of Athens, the Lyceum, was in the grounds of the Lycian
Apollo's temple just outside the Athens Gate of Diochares...
"...what was really meant to be significant about Danaos's progeny
was not their sex but their number of fifty. And from Pindar we see
that they were on fifty thrones. The fact that Aegyptos of Egypt had
fifty sons as well and that Danaos's daughters...taught the Egyptian
mysteries to the Greeks all indicates that what transpired was a
transplanting from Egypt to Greece of the all-important tradition to
be common to both countries from then on--the fifty linked with the
Dog Star Sirius and as celestial thrones. In other words, the mystery
of the orbit of Sirius B around Sirius A in its fifty celestial
steps." (942:167-169)
Kenneth Grant, Grand Master of the Ordo Templis Orientalis (OTO),
wrote of the Merovingians' affinity for the goddess Diana: "According
to Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, the authors of The Templar
Revelation, '...the Merovingian kings, from their founder Merovee to
Clovis (who converted to Christianity in 496) were 'pagan kings of the
cult of Diana'.' Picknett and Prince got this information from the
Dossiers Secrets of the Priory of Sion." (571) To Diana, the huntress
and goddess of wild places, all animals were sacred; for this reason,
Diana is sometimes artistically portrayed running with wolves.
It is noteworthy that Convents of the Prieuré de Sion for selection of
Grand Master are always held in the wolf-month, which is January: "The
Anglo-Saxons called [January] the wulfmonath, the wolf month, and many
European sightings of 'werewolves' take place during this season."
(668) Robert Graves stated in The White Goddess that January is named
after the bisexual god Janus/Jana, who is also Dianus or Diana.
"...Janus was really the oak-god Dianus who was incarnate in the King
of Rome..." - (406:69)
Recall that Janus/Dianus is the also Roman variant of 'John/Jean', the
esoteric name of the Grand Masters of the Prieuré de Sion. Janus is
also an hermaphrodite, i.e., male-female: "In the Saturnalia,
Macrobius says that January is dedicated to Janus as December is
dedicated to Saturn, and so Janus is the new god who reigns at the end
of the Saturnalia. He also says that Janus is two-faced because he is
a fusion of Artemis and Apollo (i.e., Sun and Moon, Janus and Jana =
Dianus and Diana); thus he corresponds to the alchemical
hermaphrodite..." (983)
Diana required of her band of nymphs a vow of chastity; as related in
Ovid's Fasti: “Among the Hamadryads(2) in the train of the archeress
Diana one of the sacred band was Callisto. Laying her hand on the bow
of the goddess, 'Thou bow,' quoth she, 'which thus I touch, bear
witness to my virginity.' Cynthia approved the vow, and said, 'Keep
but thy plighted troth(3) and thou shalt be the foremost of my
company.'” (916)
Callisto's chastity may have had little or nothing to do with sexual
purity. There is a common perception among neo-pagans that the goddess
Diana's loyal band were lesbians. In the lesbian subculture, virginity
means strict avoidance of sexual relations with men only. It also
seems to have been true in ancient Greece that the rule of "chastity"
did not apply to relations between women, since ancient Greek society
was male-centered.
Callisto is also the name of one of Jupiter's 4 major moons. The other
three, Ganymede, Io and Europa, are named after deities associated
with the Grail legend. As moons of Jupiter, Callisto and Ganymede, are
considered fraternal twins although this relationship does not hold
true in mythology.
"Galileo's orbital tour of Jupiter's 16 moons, focusing on the four
majors - Io, the most volcanically-active body known; frozen Ganymede,
largest moon in the Solar System with a surface temperature of minus
150 degrees; Callisto, Ganymede's crater-scarred twin; and Europa, icy
world with a possible sub-surface ocean that may contain
extra-terrestrial life. Jupiter and its moons are a mini solar
system." (667)
According to J.R. Church, Ganymede was a descendant of Dardanus, the
founder of Troy, the ancient home of the Merovingians. The king of the
gods, Zeus, appointed Ganymede to be cupbearer to the gods and, for
his service, granted him immortality. Ganymede is therefore regarded
as keeper of the Grail:
"According to the ancient Greek treatise, THE ILIAD, by Homer, the
founder of Troy was named Dar-dan-us. The name is strikingly familiar.
It contains the name of Dan! It was said that Dardanus was the son of
Zeus. Dardanus had a son named Erichthonius, who had a son named Tros,
who was the namesake of the ancient Trojans and of their capital city,
Troy.
"Tros had three sons, Ilus, Ganymede, and Assaracus. Priam, the
reigning king of the Trojans, was of the line of Ilus. Aeneas, founder
of the Roman Empire, as a prince of the royal house of Assaracus.
Ganymede was the great-grandson of Dardanus, the founder of Troy.
According to Homer's ILIAD (Book V), 4. Zeus kidnapped the prince,
Ganymede. Zeus wanted Ganymede to be a special cup-bearer to the gods
(which may be a clue to the origin of the legend of the so-called Holy
Grail).
"The ILIAD does not relate how Zeus carried off Ganymede, but
there is an ancient Roman mosaic showing Ganymede, the Trojan prince,
being carried off by Zeus, who had taken the form of an eagle! Here is
a possible clue to connect the progenitors of the ancient Trojans with
the tribe of Dan, who had adopted the eagle as their insignia."
(127:103)
Jupiter's moon, Io, was, in ancient mythology, one of the three main
ancestors of all royal houses. Io was the ancestor of Danaus who
became king of Argos. A native of Argos, Io was seduced by Zeus and
turned into a cow by his jealous wife, Hera. Io wandered to Egypt
where she gave birth to Epaphus 1 who became king of Egypt and father
of Libya. Io's descendants were Agenor 1, Belus 1, the father of
Danaus, and Lelex 2.
"In the Psalter of Cashel it states that: 'The Tuatha de Danaan ruled
in Ireland for about two centuries, and were highly skilled in
architecture and other arts from their long residence in Greece'. The
Tuatha de Danaan were the descendants of Danaus, the son of Belus, who
went with his fifty daughters to Argos, the home of his ancestrous Io.
In Irish legends the Tuatha de Danaan, who were considered to be
demigods,...were said to have possessed a...Grail-like vessel... These
teachers of Wisdom...were the founders of the Druidic priesthood."
(258:142)
Another major moon of the Jovian system, Europa, was, in Greek
mythology, kidnapped by Zeus, and was never found. Europa was fathered
by Agenor, the grandson of Io and uncle of Danaus, the king of Argos.
"Agenor 1 was by birth an Egyptian, but he departed to Phoenicia and
reigned there. According to some Agenor 1 is the son of Poseidon and
Libya, but others affirm that his parents were Belus 1 and Anchinoe.
"King Belus 1 of Egypt was son of Poseidon and Libya, and was also the
father of Aegyptus 1 and Danaus 1... His mother Libya was, in turn,
daughter of Epaphus 1 and Memphis 2. And King Epaphus 1 of Egypt, from
whom sprang the Libyans and the Ethiopians, was the founder of the
city of Memphis in Egypt and the son of Zeus and Io, the girl who was
once turned into a cow, but who is one of the Three Main Ancestors."
(993)
The naming of Europe after this Phoenician princess, who originated in
Greece and fled to Egypt, indicates the extraordinary influence of
Greek culture on the continent of Europe---her literature, music,
sculpture, painting and other applied arts. The famous English
Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) wrote: "We are all
Greeks. Our laws, our literature, our religion, our arts, have their
root in Greece." Like many poets of his day, Shelley employed
mythological themes and figures from Greek poetry to challenge
Christian values.
Thus, the names 'Ware/Vere' and 'Kallisto/Great Bear' betray an
association with the Merovingian bloodline as symbolized by the
Plantard family crest, which features twin bears representing the
Great Bear and Little Bear constellations, Ursa Major/Ursa Minor. The
crest, as esoterically interpreted by Kenneth Grant, symbolizes the
Typhonian/Draconian bloodline of the Merovingians:
"In his book Outer Gateways Kenneth Grant writes: 'In The Holy
Blood and The Holy Grail, the authors reproduce the family crest of
Clan Plantard, the contemporary representative of which was, until
recently, the Grand Master of the Prieure de Sion, an Order which,
according to Lincoln, dominated the Order of the Knights Templar and
various other highly influential institutions which, at certain
periods of history, included the Vatican. The crest which supplies the
key to the Current represented by the Merovingian bloodline and the
Order of Sion, comprises the symbols of the Typhonian line of descent:
the two bears, eleven bees, and the fleur de lys... The two bears
denote the Mother (Typhon) and her son (Set)...
"In the Typhonian Tradition the Bear is the constellation of Ursa
Major. The stars must be aligned in a specific way in order for Set to
be properly invoked. To the Priory of Sion (the secret, occult
organization dedicated to preserving the Merovingian Bloodline), the
Bear was an animal of the Goddess Diana. According to Lynn Picknett
and Clive Prince, the authors of The Templar Revelation, '...the
Merovingian kings, from their founder Merovee to Clovis (who converted
to Christianity in 496) were 'pagan kings of the cult of Diana'.'
Picknett and Prince got this information from the Dossiers Secrets of
the Priory of Sion." - (571)
MICHAEL THE COUNTERFEIT ARCHANGEL
NOTES:
REVIEW of MISSING FROM ACTION: A Powerful Historical Response to the
Crisis among American Men
If you peeked at the Appendix at the back of the book, it may not come
as a surprise that Weldon Hardenbrook is "Father" (Archpriest) John
Weldon Hardenbrook. Fr. John oversees Saints Peter and Paul Church,
Ben Lomond, California. His church is affiliated with the Antiochian
Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, one of many
denominational expressions of Eastern Orthodoxy in the United States.
Weldon Hardenbrook was ordained in the Orthodox church back in the
early 1970s.
In short, his "cure" for the feminized American male as well as the
curse of matriarchy is the re-establishment of patriarchy in both
family and church.
Patriarchy is the biblical and traditional blueprint for family life.
The American home has no chance for survival without it. p. 216
While we generally don’t disagree, it would seem the authors are
either unable or unwilling to differentiate between different forms of
patriarchy; nor do they seem to acknowledge the negative side-effects
of some historical and contemporary expressions of male authority.
For Frs. Hardenbrook and Somerville, a biblical patriarchy will only
be found in a revival of sacramental, ascetic, ecclesiastical religion
-- namely the extension of Eastern Orthodoxy. Much of the last part
of the book is an apologetic, an evangelistic introduction into the
tenets of his "evangelical" brand of Eastern Orthodoxy. We believe
this approach falls far short of the need of the hour – in fact, any
hour. [Update 12/6/98. Hardenbrook, Somerville, and 18 other men
were deposed, defrocked, and excommunicated by their Antiochian
Orthodox denominational machinery during the summer of 1998 for being
a "schismatic group."]
Shown below are our brief comments on Chapters 4, 5 & 6:
CHAPTER 4 - In an effort to explain how the process of feminization
began, the authors begin with colonial America. They notably point
out that theology historically has been "a manly topic," that colonial
men reveled in theology, and that early America enjoyed a "patriarchal
model of family structure." While husbands and wives were considered
equals, each had a role which contributed to the overall well-being of
the family and each other. The authors further assess the condition
of 17th century women, the relationship between fathers and sons, and
early colonial courtship. Not until we arrive at their discussion of
"Extended Families" did we detect a proverbial 'fly in the ointment'.
The authors finish this chapter with a eulogy to the old-world clan
system of family. In a typical clan, absolute authority is vested in
a senior family member. While one may be able to identify the
existence of clans in ancient Jewish culture, this 'umbrella-type'
organizational structure is contrary to Christian teaching. Pastor
Ray R. Sutton makes these observations in this book That You May
Prosper:
When Christianity began its trek across this barbaric part of the
world [medieval Europe], there was a constant "Hatfield vs. McCoy"
type of feuding. The family had absolute power to convict and even
execute its own members. The [Protestant] Church broke down the clans
through its court system. It argued that the father does not have
absolute authority. The 'check and balance' on his power is the court
of the Church.
Clans... simply transfer to the father [patriarch] the kind of
authority which the Roman Catholic Church officially invests in the
Pope. A father [patriarch] becomes a final court of earthly appeal,
one who can veto a marriage. This is radically anti-Biblical.
While we are fully in favor of Spirit-authored patriarchy and the
biblical 'extended family;' we seek to warn the reader of the dangers
of clanism, both past and present. We have personally witnessed and
experienced its horrible effects.
CHAPTER 5 - The authors continue their diagnosis with a look into
America's "spirit of independence." However, their understanding of
American history will strike most well-read American Christians as
rather strange. They erroneously assert that America's break with
England and "political liberty in the colonies" spawned a "distinctly
novel American anomaly, the independent church." Have the authors'
affiliation with Eastern Orthodoxy blinded them to the centuries-old
abuse and corruption of religious bureaucracies -- the State Church?
Are they unaware or have they forgotten the histories of the European
independents such as the original Protestants, Puritan/Congregational
Independency, Anabaptists, Waldensians, Baptists, and Brethren? Do
they accord no cause/effect to the widespread secular influence of the
Renaissance and the 18th century Enlightenment which affirmed, in the
words of historian Thomas Langford, "the radical independence and
competent rationality of human beings"? Since it appears to be these
authors' goal to establish themselves within the "true" Church,
readers should be forewarned of their subtle and not-so-subtle efforts
to discredit the entire Western tradition of Christianity...
Why Eastern Orthodoxy?
Similar to Messrs. Peter Gillquist, Jon Braun, Dick Ballew, and Jack
Sparks, Weldon Hardenbrook was a 1960’s refugee out of the
ecumenical/Arminian para-church organization, Campus Crusade for
Christ, International (CCCI). See his comments on page 221. Due to
the serious theological errors of CCCI, particularly in the realm of
the Christian life and spiritual maturity, these men suffered a "great
deal of frustration and disillusionment." Campus Crusade, under the
leadership of Dr. William ("Bill") Bright, has erroneously taught a
form of "instant spirituality" which is said to result from their rote
"by faith filling with the Spirit." This concept is built on a
misinterpretation of Ephesians 5:18.
It was the bitter experience of repetitive failure (sin syndrome) that
drove these men to abandon CCCI and then even turn their backs on the
entire Protestant realm. All of the leaders mentioned above,
including Franky Schaeffer – son of the well-known Dr. Francis A.
Schaeffer, became clerics in the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the
early 1970s shortly before their departure, Miles Stanford wrote:
…there are those whose disillusionment has driven them into error.
For example, we think of several leaders who are no longer with Campus
Crusade, namely, John Braun, Peter Gillquist and Hal Lindsey. True to
CCCI principles, these highly talented young men were dependent upon
confession of sins for the filling with the Spirit and the expected
spirituality. Lack of results resulted in total disillusionment.
Their understandable reaction caused them to go to the opposite
extreme, to do away with confession of sins. They reasoned that since
their sins were already forgiven, why confess them? Instead, just
thank God and continue on. Mainly due to this [erroneous] teaching as
set forth in Gillquist’s book LOVE IS NOW, many have been turned aside
from the privilege and responsibility of confessing their sins, thus
seriously damaging their fellowship with the Father, and with his Son,
Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3).
In 1118, nine Knights Crusaders in the East, among whom were Geoffroi
de Saint-Omer and Hugues de Payens, consecrated themselves to
religion, and took an oath between the hands of the Patriarch of
Constantinople, a See always secretly or openly hostile to that of
Rome from the time of Photius. The avowed objective of the Templars
was to protect the Christians who came to visit the Holy Places: their
secret object was the re-building of the Temple of Solomon on the
model prophesied by Ezekiel.
"This re-building, formally predicted by the Judaizing Mystics of
the earlier ages, had become the secret dream of the Patriarchs of the
Orient. The Temple of Solomon, re-built and consecrated to the
Catholic worship would become, in effect, the Metropolis of the
Universe; the East would prevail over the West, and the Patriarchs of
Constantinople would possess themselves of the Papal power.
"The Templars, or Poor Fellow-Soldiery of the Holy House of the
Temple intended to be rebuilt, took as their models, in the Bible, the
Warrior-Masons of Zorobabel, who worked, holding the sword in one hand
and the trowel in the other. Therefore it was that the Sword and the
Trowell were the insignia of the Templars, who subsequently, as will
be seen, concealed themselves under the name of Brethren Masons. [This
name, Freres Macons in the French, adopted by way of secret reference
to the Builders of the Second Temple, was corrupted in English into
Free-Masons, as Pythagore de Crotone was into Peter Gower of Groton in
England. Khairum or Khur-um, (a name mis-rendered into Hiram) from an
artificer in brass and other metals, became the Chief Builder of the
Haikal Kadosh, the Holy House, of the Temple,... and the words Bonai
and Banaim yet appear in the Masonic Degrees, meaning Builder and
Builders.]
"The trowel of the Templars is quadruple, and the triangular
plates of it are arranged in the form of a cross, making the
Kabalistic pantacle known by the name of the Cross of the East. The
Knight of the East, and the Knight of the East and West, have in their
titles secret allusions of whom they were at first the successors.

3. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM (347-407) cohort of Chrysostom - monk from
Alexandria?
Among Diodorus' students at the School of Antioch were John Chrysostom
and Theodore of Mopsuestia. The various encyclopedias agree that
Chrysostom's view of sin was unscriptural:
"[Chrysostom's] conception of the Divine image in man, which he
regards as consisting in his dominion over creation recalls Diodorus
and Theodore. He regards the Fall as resulting in a privation of gifts
which were not a part of man's natural constitution. He does not teach
a complete loss of the Divine image. He agrees with Theodore in
insisting on free will and denying original sin... He denies that
mortality is the cause of sin." 37.
"[Chrysostom] expressly controverts the view...that sin is an integral
part of our nature." 38.
The Chrysostom Society is a group of neo-gnostics founded and led by
Richard Foster. Members include Madeline L'Engle of the New Age St.
John the Divine Cathedral in New York, Karen Mains, Eugene Peterson,
author of The Message, and similar false prophets who have sought to
mainstream the esoteric as Christianity. Foster noted Chrysostom's
agreement with the theology of the famous Gnostic of the School of
Alexandria: "In his later life, Chrysostom was much maligned for his
agreement with much of Origen's theology..." 39.
"The Star of Arcady either referred to Arcadia, the earthly home of
Kallisto, or to Arcas, her son..." 927:456
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which
I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a
BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him
his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his
heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed:
and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the
dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast,
saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two
months. - Rev. 13:1-5

THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY
SATANIC BLOODLINE OF THE ANTICHRIST & FALSE PROPHET
MICHAEL THE COUNTERFEIT ARCHANGEL
"That religion they call Christianity; the devil they honour they call
God... it is their God and their religion that I hate and will
destroy.—Aleister Crowley, The World's Tragedy
On the grounds of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York
City there stands a large sculpture of Michael the Archangel slaying
the Dragon. As the photos above and below reveal, at the base of the
sculpture, under the Dragon which is being slain by the Archangel,
there are two other strange figures, one of the Sun-god and the other,
a Crab. Your average sightseer would not recognize the Zodiacal sign
of Cancer, which is the Crab, or appreciate its occult meaning.
However, the esoteric message of this dramatic scene is one which the
occult underground understands very well. It is that of a long-awaited
moment of revenge. This epic event will take place when a counterfeit
Archangel Michael destroys a scapegoat Dragon—the Roman Catholic
Church and Pope—in the sign of Cancer. The Sun-god and Crab positioned
underneath the Archangel mean, in astrological terms, the Sun in
Cancer, i.e. that the sun will be moving through the sign of Cancer
when this watershed event occurs.
Merovingians attach great importance to the Dead Sea Scrolls which
prophesy that Michael the Archangel as "The Heavenly Prince
Melchizedek.", will preside over the final judgment of Satan, in
fulfillment of Revelation 12:7: And there was war in heaven: Michael
and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and
his angels.
"The heavenly deliverer is Melchizedek. Identical with the Archangel
Michael, he is head of the 'Sons of Heaven,' or 'God's of Justice' and
is referred to as Elohim and 'el'... Here Melchizedek is portrayed as
presiding over the final judgment and condemnation of his demonic
counterpart Belial/ Satan, the Prince of Darkness... The great act of
deliverance is expected to occur on the Day of Atonement at the end of
the tenth Jubilee cycle." (121:300)
In the first place, the identification of Michael the Archangel with
Melchizedek and Elohim resembles the false belief of the Jehovah's
Witnesses that that Jesus did not always exist, but was a created
being originally named Michael the Archangel. This heretical teaching
automatically classifies the above prophecy as a counterfeit
fulfillment of Revelation 12. Although Scripture identifies the dragon
in Rev. 12:9 as Satan: "And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
world..." the Merovingians have cast the Roman Church as the great
Dragon:
"It is of importance to note that the X sign, which became so hated by
the Roman Church, was identified with the archangel Michael
(Melchizedek) onwards from Old Testament times. The heritage of St
Michael was the dynasty of high Zadok priests — a heritage that
prevailed in the continuing Messianic line... Fragments of the Prince
Melchizedek Document found among the Dead Sea Scrolls indicate that
Melchizedek and Michael were one and the same. It is this
representation which features in the Revelation when the Archangel
Michael (the descending Zadokite power of the Messiah) fights with the
Roman Dragon of oppression…" (29:299,177)
The motive behind portraying the Roman Church as the Dragon is
vengeance for the overthrow of the Merovingian dynasty during the
Middle Ages and subsequent persecutions of the Knights Templar and
related heretical sects. The Donation of Constantine was created
expressly to overthrow the Merovingian dynasty and to elevate the
authority of the Roman Catholic Pope over secular kings. The arrest of
the Knights Templar is described by Michael Howard in Occult
Conspiracy:
"Phillip IV passed the [incriminating evidence] on to Pope Clement V
and the king and the pontiff conspired to lure the Grand Master of the
Order, Jacques de Molay, into a trap on French soil... In reality the
wily king was plotting the downfall of the Templars and the death of
de Molay. The knights were staying at the Templar citadel in Paris and
on 13 October 1307 the king executed his plan. Troops surrounded the
building and everyone inside was placed under arrest. Within
forty-eight hours warrants had been issued ordering the detaining of
every Templar in France, even though this was technically illegal as
the Order was answerable only to the Pope and not to civil laws. On 22
November however, the Pope issued a bull to all the Christian rulers
in Western Europe ordering them to arrest any member of the Order
residing in their countries. The fate of the Templars was sealed." -
(25:35,36)
In Realm of the Ring Lords, Sir Laurence Gardner described the
Albigensian Crusade conducted by the Vatican to eradicate the Cathar
heresy in the South of France.
"In the Cathar language of old Provence, a female elf was an albi
(elbe or ylbi), and Albi was the name given to the main Cathar centre
in Languedoc. This was in deference to the matrilinear heritage of the
Grail dynasty, for the Cathars were supporters of the original
Albi-gens - the Elven Bloodline which had descended through the Dragon
Queens of yore, such as Lilith, Miriam, Bathsheba and Mary Magdalene.
It was for this reason that, when Simon de Montfort and the armies of
Pope Innocent III descended upon the region in 1209, it was called the
Albigensian Crusade. Through some 35 years, tens of thousands of
innocent people were slaughtered in this brutal campaign - all because
the inhabitants of the region were champions of the original concept
of Grail kingship, as against the pseudo-style of monarchy which had
been implemented by the papal machine... (248:1)
The French Cathar name Albi-gens means Elven bloodline, according to
Prince Nicholas de Vere, Sovereign Grand Master of the Imperial and
Royal Dragon Court & Order
"The real 'gentry' or to give them another familiar epithet - the
Lords and Ladies - were...by blood alone, the members of a genetic
strain, the Dragon and Grail families - the Fairy Blood. One could not
and cannot 'become' a member of the gentry any more than one can
'become', by initiation or otherwise, a 'witch', a 'vampire', a
'magus', a 'dragon', a 'fairy' or an 'elf'. All these are names which
described the 'gentry' and the latter - elf - is a word which
originates from albi meaning a white or 'shining one'. From albi
derives the French Cathar name Albigensian (Albi + Gens) meaning - 'of
the elven blood' - et quid erat demonstrandum." (353:4)
Curiously, Fundamentalist and Evangelical ministers often refer to the
Albigensians as the true Christians of the Middle Ages who preserved
the Word of God while under severe persecution by the Catholic Church.
For example, David Cloud, who denounces the Roman Catholic Church and
the Pope as the Antichrist, glorifies the Albigensian cult in his
book, Rome and the Bible:
"The persecutions which were poured out upon these Bible-believing
people beginning in the 7th century caused them to be scattered
throughout Europe, everywhere carrying with them the New Testament
faith. The Lutheran historian Mosheim, writing in the 17th century,
says:...They were later known by many names, including Paterini,
Cathari, Bulgarians, Patarins, Gazarians, Turlupins, Runcarians, and
Albigenses... The term 'Albigenses' probably derived from a Council
which was held in the year 1176 at the town of Lombers near Albi, 'for
the purpose of examining certain reputed heretics'." (789:34)
What is going on here? Any encyclopedia or objective history will
document that the Albigensians were a sect of the Cathar movement
which was heretical in the extreme. The following entry from Collier's
Encyclopedia is representative of other sources:
“The Albigenses followed Manichean dualism in its attempt to solve the
problem of evil. They asserted the co-existence of two ultimate
principles, a good deity (the God of the New Testament) who created
Spirit and Light and a bad deity (the God of the Old Testament) who
created Matter and Darkness. Accordingly they condemned marriage and
the procreation of children as demoniac. Yet concubinage was
tolerated…and desertion of husband or wife was…praiseworthy. Like the
Arians, the Albigenses claimed that Christ was merely a created being,
who never really took on a human body, and never actually died on the
cross… His redemption gave us only the example of a noble life and a
moral lesson of his virtue. It did not achieve an objective remission
of sin. Believing in metapsychosis, or transmigration of souls, they
forbade the use of flesh meat and milk or other animal produce.
Rejecting the authority of the Church and State, they appealed to the
Scriptures, mostly the New Testament because the Old Law was regarded
as mainly a demoniac creation. The taking of oaths, war, and capital
punishment were forbidden.
“The Albigenses distinguished between the 'perfect' and mere
believers. The former, a small minority, were held to the observances
of the ancient Cathari: the consolamentum or spirit baptism through
the imposition of hands, which gave the right to preach the new
religion, the appareillamentum, or public confession of sins and
endura or starvation to death in order to be freed from the flesh…
“While exact figures are not available, it is certain that more than
one thousand cities and towns in France were influenced by
Albigensianism at the close of the 12th century… Always the Cathari
were denounced, not only for doctrinal heresy, but as a menace to the
family, state and human society.
“…Their only requirement was faith; for the rest they were allowed to
do as they pleased.” (990)
There are also connections between the Albigensian Cathars and the
Grail cult, which also flourished in the south of France. This
connection is mentioned in Bloodline of the Holy Grail:
"Elusive though it is, there does seem to be some link between the
Cathars and the whole cult of the Grail as it evolved during the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries. A number of writers have argued that
the Grail romances - those of Chretien de Troyes and Wolfram von
Eschenbach, for example - are an interpolation of Cathar
thought...Something had been smuggled out of Montsegur just after the
truce expired. According to tradition the four men who escaped from
the doomed citadel carried with them the Cathar treasure, but the
monetary treasure had been smuggled out three months earlier. Could
the Cathar 'treasure', like the 'treasure' Sauniere discovered, have
consisted primarily of a secret? Could that secret have been related
in some unimaginable way to something that became known as the Holy
Grail?" (29:51-2,61-2)
Can it be that modern day Cathars are behind the movement to portray
the Albigensians as Christian and the Catholic Church as the
Dragon/Antichrist/ False Prophet? After their demise, the Merovingians
determined to overthrow the Catholic Church and aspired to repossess
the thrones of Europe. To this end, Jewish Cabalists and other occult
sects infiltrated the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages with the
intention of subverting it from within. In recent times also, many of
the popes have been agents of Judeo-Freemasonry. To accomplish the
final overthrow of the Roman Church, the occult societies have
launched a campaign within Christianity to misrepresent the next pope
as the Antichrist or False Prophet. The Catholic Church will be tried,
in all probability at the World Court in Geneva, Switzerland (home of
John Calvin), for crimes against the gnostic sects during the
Inquisition.
The Pope and Catholic Church will be overthrown by a counterfeit
Michael the Archangel under the sign of Cancer which is most likely to
occur around the mid-point of the Tribulation Period. Rome will be
burned and the Pope will be beheaded as the Dragon—or the Antichrist
or False Prophet, depending on the audience targeted for this
Merovingian propaganda. This event will be a counterfeit fulfillment
of Daniel 12:1 and Rev. 12:7 and the actual fulfillment of Revelation
17 and 18—the destruction of Mystery Babylon the Great. A Merovingian
Pope will then become the patriarch of a new Esoteric Church.
In essence, the confrontation between the counterfeit Archangel
Michael and the Roman Church represents the culmination of the long
war between the Gnostic heresy and Christian doctrine. From the
holocaust of the Christian faith (Luke 18:8) will rise the mythical
Phoenix, the Esoteric Church. Having destroyed the Roman Church, the
bogus Dragon, this pseudo Archangel Michael will have the audacity to
fight against Jesus Christ upon His return, claiming that Jesus is
Satan. (Psalm 2)
When the counterfeit Michael the Archangel slays the counterfeit
Dragon, i.e., destroys the Roman Church, every vestige of Christian
doctrine will be removed from planet Earth. Thus cleansing the
earth—by elimination of all historic creeds and remnants of
traditional Christianity as inhibitors of the Gnostic program of
transformation—will make possible the release of mankind from his
bondage to matter and escape to the spiritual realms. At least, this
is what the Gnostics believe will happen.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not
the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. II Thess. 2:12
Who will be the counterfeit Michael the Archangel???
HRH MICHAEL STEWART OF ALBANY
Holy Blood, Holy Grail provides a listing of of Merovingian noble
families, from which will come the heir-apparent of the purported
royal bloodline of Jesus deemed worthy to sit on the throne of the
kingdoms of this world. Listed alongside the Plantard and Sinclair
(Saint-Claire) bloodlines are "various branches of the Stuarts":
"We cannot point to one man and assert that he is Jesus' lineal
descendant. There are at least a dozen families in Britain and Europe
today -- with numerous collateral branches - who are of Merovingian
lineage. These include the houses of Hapsburg-Lorraine (present
titular dukes of Lorraine and kings of Jerusalem), Plantard,
Luxembourg, Montpezat, Montesquiou, and various others. According to
the 'Prieuré documents,' the Sinclair family in Britain is also allied
to the bloodline, as are various branches of the Stuarts..."
(31:145-46)
According to Kitty Kelly's book, The Royals (p.262, the late Princess
Diana was a member of the Stuart bloodline, fifth removed from Charles
II, which claims a greater nobility than the reigning House of
Windsor, which is not mentioned in the Merovingian royalty. The
contribution of the Stuart family to Freemasonry is commended in Holy
Blood, Holy Grail:
"During their stay in France the Stuarts had been deeply involved in
the dissemination of Freemasonry. Indeed, they are generally regarded
as the source of the particular form of Freemasonry known as Scottish
Rite. Scottish Rite Freemasonry introduced higher degrees than those
offered by other Masonic systems at the time. It promised initiation
into greater and more profound mysteries -- mysteries supposedly
preserved and handed down in Scotland. It established more direct
connections between Freemasonry and the various activities -- alchemy,
Cabalism, and Hermetic thought, for instance -- that were regarded as
Rosicrucian…" 31:145-46
In Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Sir Laurence Gardner attempts to prove
that the House of Stuart still retains the legitimate right to the
throne of England, possessing a living descendant of Bonnie Prince
Charlie, whom the Jacobites tried to restore to the British Throne in
1727. The Jacobite Heritage, however, maintained that Gardner's
genealogies are undocumented and cannot be supported by historical
evidence. {This article has been removed.}
The foreword to Bloodline of the Holy Grail is written by a Prince
Michael Stewart of Albany, who is the Head of the Royal House of
Stewart, which surname Sir Laurence maintains is "Stuart," albeit with
a different spelling. The Official Home Page of the Royal House of
Stewart provides extensive information about the aspiring Prince, who
also holds the position of Head of the European Council of Princes.
The Jacobite Heritage refutes Prince Michael's claim to fame:
"'Prince Michael' claims to be 'President of the European Council of
Princes (Le Conseil Europeen des Princes) - Un Organe Consultatif
Constitutionel'. He says that this organisation was founded in 1946
(as the International Council of Government) with Archduke Otto of
Austria as its President until 1992 (when 'Prince Michael' succeeded).
He also says that the heads of all the major European royal houses
belong with the exception of the House of Windsor. [The existence of
this body before 1990 cannot be verified. Archduke Otto of Austria has
never been president of any such body, nor has the head of any major
European royal house ever been a member. The only people who might be
members are people who claim legitimate descent from long extinct
houses such as Hohenstaufen (ie. charlatans). "Prince Michael" claims
to have connections with many European royal houses; he is, however,
never seen at any of their celebrations marking baptisms, marriages,
birthdays, or funerals.]
Prince Michael is thoroughly debunked as merely another pretender to
the British throne on the Fantasy Royalty web site:
"The Royal House of Stuart became extinct in the male line with the
death of Henry (IX) Stuart, Duke of York, Cardinal of the Holy Roman
Church and Bishop of Frascati, in 1807. He had succeeded his elder
brother, Charles (III) Stuart, sometimes known as 'Bonnie Prince
Charlie,' in 1788, on the latter's death without legitimate issue (he
left one illegitimate daughter, Clementina, who also died without
issue). Both were the sons of James (III), Prince of Wales, only son
of James II, King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland,
(illegally) deposed as King of England and Scotland on 10 Dec 1688,
and as King of Ireland six months later, who died in exile in 1701."
Compounding the royal intrigue was the "coincidental" release (one
week after Princess Diana's death) of an expose of the Royal Family
which holds present title to the British throne, the House of Windsor.
The Royals by Kitty Kelley brazenly asserts that Queen Elizabeth II
was conceived by artificial insemination and that the Queen Mum is
illegitimate. A Washington Post review of this popular book stated:
"Among the more startling claims is that both Queen Elizabeth and her
sister, Princess Margaret, were conceived via 'manual fertilization'
after their sickly father, George VI, failed to impregnate their
mother, now the Queen Mum, in the more usual fashion. … Though the
sisters were born in 1926 and 1930, respectively, decades before
artificial insemination became a widely used medical procedure,
several prominent U.S. medical specialists contacted by The Post say
the story's not implausible. 'It might have been quite possible,' says
J. Benjamin Younger MD, executive director of the American Society for
Reproductive Medicine. 'But is it true?'" (Washington Post, 9/16/97)
Although this sensational revelation is most likely not true, such
propaganda may be part of the smear campaign required to dethrone the
already disgraced House of Windsor. Dare we call it conspiracy? We
know that Diana was required to give up her crown when she divorced
Charles. In his recent release, The Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland,
Prince Michael claims to be the "legal Pretender to the throne of
England" (92:302), by which we infer is meant that he would receive it
by default of Prince Charles. Should Prince Charles not accede to the
throne (and there have been rumors that he would decline because of so
many scandals), then Princes William and Henry may lose the right of
succession, Diana having also relinquished her crown.
Prince Michael makes the point that England does not have a
constitution and therefore its monarchy is little more than a despotic
feudal system. (92:255-56) He emphasizes, however, that Scotland has a
constitution, in fact, it is the same Masonic model used by the
Founding Fathers of the United States! However, George Washington, who
knew the importance of a monarchy with a hereditary bloodline, is said
to have offered the American crown to Charles III Stuart.
Although The Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland does not document its
claims concerning the founding of the American system of government,
the implication is clear that the ideal form of world government would
be a constitutional monarchy under a restored Stuart monarchy. Led by
whom? Probably not the dispossessed sons of Charles should he abdicate
the British throne. And given the sudden promotion in Christian media
of Prince Charles as the Antichrist, this eventuality seems a
formidable prospect.
Another development in the unfolding drama is a recent report that
Israel is pursuing membership in the British Commonwealth.
"Israel is actively considering joining the British Commonwealth,
following an 'unofficial approach' to its ambassador in London from
the secretary-general of the 53-member organization.
"The approach was made earlier this month in a meeting between
Ambassador Moshe Raviv and the Commonwealth’s secretary-general, Chief
Emeka Anyaoku. The move is being seen as especially significant at a
time when Israeli ties with the European Union and other international
bodies have been strained over the stalled Middle East peace process.
A spokesman for the Commonwealth confirmed that a meeting had taken
place between Chief Anyaoku and Mr Raviv, but declined to provide
further details.
"The approach came in the wake of a visit to London earlier this month
by Yasser Arafat, during which the Palestinian Authority chief asked
Commonwealth officials whether a future Palestinian state could have
associate membership of the organization. ("Israel Could Join British
Commonwealth, Weekend News Today, Source: MED, Aug 25 , 1997)
What human agency may be orchestrating the rise and fall of the
kingdoms of this world and leading them to fulfill Zechariah's
prophesy that Israel will become a burdensome stone for all people?
(12:3) Holy Blood, Holy Grail and Bloodline of the Holy Grail are
obviously publications of the Prieuré of Sion, the founders of the
Knights Templar who were the predecessors of the Rosicrucians and
Freemasons. Masonic books are now glutting the market to the end of
bringing forth the Merovingian vision of the 'new world order'
governed by a "wise and benign spiritual figure, a priest-king" of the
pedigree of Jesus Christ. The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail are,
however, prudent to assure the future serfs of their modern feudal
system that the lineal descendant of Jesus -
"…would not be any more divine, any more intrinsically miraculous,
than the rest of us. This attitude would undoubtedly be shared by a
great many people today. We suspect it is shared by the Prieuré de
Sion as well."
On 14 January 1998 the World Council of Churches reported the
formation of the European "Church and Society Commission." The stated
purpose of this commission was to help European churches "monitor and
react to developments in institutions such as the European Union and
the Council of Europe, and to deal with ethical questions facing
European society."
Ethical questions will encompass: ". . . peace, justice and the
integrity of creation, reconciliation and relations between churches
and governments . . . democratisation, human rights and minorities,
European security, and the environment . . . (and) the specific
responsibility of the churches in member states of the European Union
for EU policies." (ENI News Service, 14 January 1998)
The January meeting took place in Strasbourg, the French city which
houses the headquarters of the Council of Europe, the European Court
of Human Rights, and the European Parliament. It is significant that
opening this session was Jacques Stewart, who described the meeting as
"historic" and "long awaited."
The Stewart family are ubiquitous in the movement toward a global
government and religion and, as we have seen, appear to be one of the
Merovingian bloodlines spearheading the conquest of the Throne of
Jerusalem. Notably, in 1992, Prince Michael Stewart of Albany was
elected head of the European Council of Princes. Prince Michael is
also proclaimed to be the 7th legitimate descendant from the exiled
Charles Edward Stuart.
On the web site of Bloodline Of The Holy Grail is found Sir Laurence
Gardner's defense of the Stewart claim to the Thrones of Scotland and
England, Sir Laurence himself being no less than "Prior of the Celtic
Church's Sacred Kindred of St Columba, Chevalier Labhran de Saint
Germain and Presidential Attache to the European Council of Princes."
The following is a partial listing of Stewarts who hold influential
and powerful positions in the global network moving the world toward
political and religious unity.
Prince Michael Stewart of Albany
Head of the European Council of Princes
"In June 1992, HRH Prince Michael James Alexander Stewart, 7th Count
of Albany (Scotland) was elected President of the European Council of
Princes -- a constitutional advisory body within the European Union.
In this regard, he succeeded the Imperial and Royal House of Habsburg
Austria, who had retained the office from 1946. The new appointment
held significant political implications for Scotland because, in
unanimously electing Michael of Albany, some 32 sovereign houses

"In 1988, at… (the) Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City,
the pastor, Rev. James Parks Morton, conducted a Thanksgiving day
service in which 4,000 children and adults joined with American
Indians, tribal leaders, medicine men, witches, nature
worshippers...in a 'circle dance' of religious friendship and unity.
Morton said the purpose of the dance was to 'redefine' Thanksgiving.
Part of the impetus for the ceremony was to create 'a heightened
consciousness of the necessity of different religions working together
to save our planet." (Texe Marrs, Ravaged By The New Age, p. 74)

THE STONE OF DESTINY
A Revival leader associated with the United Kingdom/Toronto Blessing
wrote a testimony which portrays Jesus as a voyeur. The blasphemous
testimony of Teresa Seputis was posted on her web page, now titled
GodSpeak International, but removed within days of posting our expose.
A portion of this testimony is reprinted in the Revival Connection.
Teresa also ministered in 1994 with John and Carol Arnott of Toronto
Blessing fame in San Francisco (GodSpeak International, John Arnott at
SF (July 17, 1994), and in 1996 and 1997 with Randy Clark and the St.
Louis Vineyard Christian Fellowship which sponsored Catch The Fire
conferences in Moscow. (GodSpeak International, Glimpses of Moscow
Catch the Fire I & II)
Of interest to us was the fact that Teresa Seputis' testimony was also
posted in an e-mail conference on the Scottish Stewart Clan Internet
Home which focuses on the Toronto Revival that has been exported
around the world. Within hours after the Watch Unto Prayer expose was
posted on November 6, 1997, the Scottish Stewart Clan Internet Home
blocked access to their discussion groups for all except those having
a secret password. Apparently the Stewart Clan does not want the
Rosicrucian UK-Toronto Revival connection to be known.
Among the 67 CyberChurch discussion groups which were active on the
Scottish Stewart Clan Internet Home we found a broad spectrum of
ministries that profess to be Christian: Pentecostals, Revival,
Promise-Keeping Men, Vineyard Churches, Church of God, Assembly of
God, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Seventh Day Adventist, Episcopal,
Catholic, Mennonite, Nazarine, Prolife, Prayer Network, ChristNet-UK,
ChristNet-Scotland, CellChurch, Worship and Unity.
The Scottish Stewart Clan Internet Home is very esoteric with emphasis
on the genealogies of various Scottish clans. New Age books such as
Bloodline of the Holy Grail also emphasize genealogies, especially the
Merovingian families, including the Stewarts. On the Stewart Clan
Internet Home is posted the Crest of the Phoenix, which is the occult
symbol of resurrection. The Stewart web site also features a
"Christian" version of Dungeons and Dragons titled "Dragon Raid."
Of special interest on this Merovingian website is a page about the
Stone of Destiny, which has recently been moved from England to
Scotland. According to the Stewart Clan interpretation of Bible
prophecy, this Stone (formerly Jacob's Pillar) upon which kings of
Scotland and England were traditionally crowned, will be used in the
coronation of Christ as the King of Israel:
"This Stone is believed to be the original Pillar that Jacob dedicated
to God after his all-night wrestling vigil with an angel. From all
references, this stone represents the House of David that went into
oblivion after the wicked king Zedekiah was dethroned by our Father
and later blinded then killed along with his sons. Jacob's Pillar (The
Stone of Destiny) was believed to have been subsequently carried by
Jeremiah - along with Zedekiah's two daughters - to Ireland. Later, it
went to Scotland, then England. Most scholars, along with this writer,
see these three moves associated with Ezekiel 21:27: 'I will overturn,
overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose
right it is; and I will give it him.'
"…It will not be used ever again in the crowning of an earthly king
because it has been announced that it will go on permanent display in
Edinburg, Scotland. Therefore, this move obviously ended the Stone's
role in the crowning of kings, ending with King George VI in 1936 ...
the last king crowned over the Stone. That being the case, Messiah,
according to Ezekiel, will be the next King over the House of David .
. . so, the third 'overturn' is yet in effect. In light of these
facts, as stated last month, this move (after some 700 years) would
seem to be significant as to just how close the Lord's return could
be. In other words, from Zedekiah forward, Israel, as a nation, would
have no king until Messiah comes (Gen. 49:10) ...and true to prophecy,
that has been the case. This means that the scattered and divided
kingdom of Israel must be restored and Christ installed as her
King...'the most holy' Dan. 9:24"
Although there is disagreement as to which stone is the true Stone of
Destiny, and whether it was Jacob's pillar or pillow, the preceding
fable is nearly identical to the account presented by Laurence Gardner
in Bloodline of the Holy Grail:
"Not only were the Grail Knights and Templars appointed Guardians of
the Stewart Sangreal [Holy Grail] in Scotland, they also became
protectors of the Stone of Destiny (the Stone of Scone). This most
sacred of Scots treasures had been brought to Scotland from Ireland by
Fergus Mor mac Erc, the first King of Dalriada, in the 5th century,
having originally been carried to Ireland from Judah in about 586 BC.
The venerated holy relic was said to be the Stone of the Covenant,
known as 'Jacob's Pillow' (Gen. 28:18-22), on which Jacob laid his
head and saw the ladder reaching up to Heaven at Beth-el. In a dream
God promised Jacob that his seed would generate the line of kingship
to follow - the line which in due course became the Davidic
succession.
"When the Jews were persecuted by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon,
Mattaniah, the son of King Josiah (and a direct descendant of David),
was installed in Judah. Known as King Zedekiah, he acceded to the
throne of Jerusalem in 598 BC. Twelve years later Jerusalem fell to
Nebuchadnezzar, whereupon Zedekiah was taken to Babylon and blinded
(Jer. 39:6-7, 52:10-11). His sons were murdered, but his daughter
Tamar was removed to Ireland (via Egypt and Spain) by the prophet
Jeremiah. He also brought the anointed Stone of the Covenant, which
became known as Lia Fail (Stone of Destiny). In Latin it was the Saxum
Fatale.
"Princess Tamar (Teamhair) gave her name to Tara, the seat of the High
Kings of Ireland, and she married Ard Ri (High King) Eochaid, ancestor
of Ugaine Mar (Ugaine the Great). Subsequently, over a millenium,
Eochaid's successors were crowned in the presence of the sacred Stone.
The Irish heritage then progressed to Scotland, where the relic of
Judah became synonymous with the Kings of Dalriada. King Kenneth
(MacAlpin (844-859) later moved the Stone to Scone Abbey when he
united the Scots and the Picts. By the time of William the Lion (d.
1214), the Stone of Destiny bore witness to nearly a hundred
coronations in sovereign descent from King Zedekiah.
"On declaring himself Overlord of Scotland in 1296, Edward I of
England stole what he thought was the Stone of Destiny. What he
actually got was a piece of sandstone from a monastery doorway, which
has since rested beneath the Coronation Throne at Westminster Abbey.
This piece of rubble is 26 inches long by 11 inches deep (c. 66x 28
cm) and weighs about 335 lbs (c. 152 kg). Royal seals of the early
Scots kings depict a much larger installation rock, but this rock was
not the sacred Stone of Destiny -- no more than is the medieval
masonry prize of King Edward. The real Stone of Destiny is said to be
smaller, more naturally rounded, and is of inscribed black basalt, not
of hand-cut sandstone. It was hidden by the Cistercian Abbot of Scone
in 1296, and it has remained hidden ever since. The Columbian
tradition tells us that, on secreting the Stone, the Abbot prophesied
that one day 'The Michael' would return to his inheritance." (29:299)
The preceding fabrications of the origin of the Stone of Destiny are
Merovingian lore which propagates a variety of fictitious narratives
intended to prove that the Biblical promises given to Israel will be
fulfilled in Britain, America, and other Anglo-Saxon countries. One
version identifies the Anglo-Saxon race with the ten lost tribes of
Israel which migrated to the British Isles following the Assyrian
Captivity. According to this mythology, Jesus married Mary Magdalene
and fathered children. After the crucifixion, Joseph of Arimethea took
Mary and the children of Jesus to Europe. Of course, Scripture
supports neither of these fictions.
Among the Grail romances, the most famous is Parzival, composed by
Wolfram von Eschenbach. In this mystical poem, the Grail is identified
as a Philosopher's Stone upon which appear inscribed the names of the
heirs of the throne of Jesus, typified by the phoenix, which will rise
again and restore the inheritance of the Merovingian bloodline:
"You say you yearn for the Grail. You foolish man, I am grieved to
hear that. For no man can ever win the Grail unless he is known in
heaven and called by name to the Grail. This I must tell you about the
Grail, for I know it to be so and have seen it for myself…By the power
of that Stone the phoenix burns to ashes, but the ashes give him life
again. Thus does the phoenix moult and change its plumage, which
afterward is bright and shining and as lovely as before…
"Such power does the Stone give a man that flesh and bones are at once
made young again. The Stone is also called the Grail. This very day
there comes to it a message wherein lies its greatest power. Today is
Good Friday, and they await there a Dove, winging down from heaven. It
brings a small white wafer, and leaves it upon the Stone…
"Hear now how those who are called to the Grail are made known. On the
Stone, round the edge, appear letters inscribed, giving the name and
the lineage of each one, maid or boy, who is to make the blessed
journey. No one needs to rub out the inscription, for once he has read
the name, it fades before his eyes." (31:297, 63:91-2)
To the establish the Scottish Stewart claims of nobility, the Stone of
Scone page presents another aberrant interpretation of Scripture.
Ezekiel 37:19-22 is wrested from its proper Hebrew context and given a
subtle British-Israel rendering. Note in the following excerpt that
the Houses of Judah and Israel are identified as "people" rather than
"Jews" exclusively. Thus, the Merovingian Messiah will unite the
world, rather than the Jews, having first vanquished another false
Christ, i.e. the Pope of the Harlot Church.
"Verse 19: "Say unto them (Israel), Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
will take the stick of Joseph (House of Joseph), which is in the hand
of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them
with him, even with the stick of Judah (House of Judah), and make them
one stick (one nation), and they shall be one in *mine hand*." These
sticks are literal wooden sticks which were used to represent the
divided Kingdom of Israel which had become the House of Judah and the
House of Israel. (See 1 Kings 11) The two sticks mentioned in Ezekiel
are not books or scrolls -- they are people -- as the Scriptures will
document. The sticks simply represent people. Note verses 16 & 17:
'Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it,
For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take
another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim,
and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to
another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.'
"The word 'stick' is literal; that is, it means a stick of wood -- not
a book or scroll. (See Strong's No. H6086) Therefore, in writing the
name of Judah on one stick and the name of Joseph on the other, is
simply showing the separation or division of God's People, Israel, and
that by a miracle, He will rejoin them into one people. Our Father
says that when asked about the meaning of this joining, tell them as
follows: Verse 20: 'Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the
stick (the House or people) of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim
(whose leader was Ephraim -- at that time), and the tribes of Israel
his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah
(join them with the House or people of Judah -- the remnant), and make
them one stick (one people), and they shall be one (a single nation,
as in the beginning) in mine hand.' Verse 22 con-firms that these two
sticks represent people who have been scattered to the four winds --
but will be reunited when Christ returns; read carefully:
"'And I will make them *one nation* (one stick, one people) in the
land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king (Christ) shall be king
to them *all* (Shiloh; Whose right the Stone of Destiny represents):
and they shall be no more two nations (two sticks), neither shall they
be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:' Can Christ be a King
over anything except people? These two sticks being joined are
specifically used to remind the descendants of Israel, even today,
that they will yet be reunited into one nation -- a single people --
in the original land given to Abraham!."
THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY
SATANIC BLOODLINE OF THE ANTICHRIST & FALSE PROPHET
THE ROMAN DRAGON
According to the Scottish Stewart Clan Internet Home, prior to the
crowning of the Messiah on the sacred Stone of Destiny, a false Christ
will try to unite mankind.
"So, this movement of the Stone of Destiny could very well be the
beginning of a chain of events to shape the world -- and prepare His
remnant today -- for the things about to come to pass; the false
Messiah shall come first and try to fake uniting the people (Daniel
9:27) under the promised covenant of peace, but he will fail. He will
pass himself off as Israel's Messiah, and Christianity's Christ."
In Scripture, Daniel 12:1 identifies Michael as "the great prince" who
will rescue Israel during the Tribulation:
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which
standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of
trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same
time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that
shall be found written in the book."
Will "The Michael" prophesied by the Abbot of Scone come forward
(stand up) as the lineal descendant of Jesus Christ, impersonating
Michael the Archangel and defeating "Christianity's Christ," who will
"fake uniting the people…under the promised covenant of peace"?
Purveyors of the Grail legend thoroughly disparage the New Testament,
arguing that the Gnostic Nag Hammadi Scrolls predated it and are
therefore more authentic. Citing the spurious Dead Sea Scrolls,
Gardiner informs readers that 'The Michael' at any time in history is
the High Priest Melchizedek, whose office Jesus Christ once occupied.
Upon returning to receive his kingdom, "The Michael" will face a
formidable foe:
"It is of importance to note that the X sign, which became so hated by
the Roman Church, was identified with the archangel Michael
(Melchizedek) onwards from Old Testament times. The heritage of St
Michael was the dynasty of high Zadok priests -- a heritage that
prevailed in the continuing Messianic line... Fragments of the Prince
Melchizedek Document found among the Dead Sea Scrolls indicate that
Melchizedek and Michael were one and the same. It is this
representation which features in the Revelation when the Archangel
Michael (the descending Zadokite power of the Messiah) fights with the
Roman Dragon of oppression… (29:299, 177)
The Dead Sea Scrolls In English do in fact contain a scroll titled
"The Heavenly Prince Melchizedek." The introduction to this scroll
identifies Melchizedek with Michael the Archangel and also Elohim, who
will officiate at the final judgment:
"The heavenly deliverer is Melchizedek. Identical with the Archangel
Michael, he is head of the 'Sons of Heaven,' or 'God's of Justice' and
is referred to as Elohim and 'el'... Here Melchizedek is portrayed as
presiding over the final judgment and condemnation of his demonic
counterpart Belial/ Satan, the Prince of Darkness...The great act of
deliverance is expected to occur on the Day of Atonement at the end of
the tenth Jubilee cycle." (The Dead Sea Scrolls in English, 3rd
Ed., Geza Vermes, England, JSOT, 1987, p. 300)
In the following excerpt from Bloodline Of The Holy Grail, the student
of prophecy will recognize at once Gardiner's deceit as to the
identity of the dragon of Revelation 12. Revelation 12:9 explicitly
states that the dragon is "…the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world…" To further the deception required for the Merovingian
conspirators to attain their messianic goal, Sir Laurence identifies
the dragon as the Roman Empire:
"The Imperial Romans displayed a purple dragon on their standard, and
it is this symbol that is depicted in Revelation 12:3, when Michael
confronts the 'dragon with seven heads.' As we have seen earlier, the
dragon in this instance was Rome: known historically as the City of
the Seven Kings (or heads - the number of kings before the Republic
was formed.)... We should therefore understand that the Archangel
Michael's battle with the dragon in Revelation 12:7 corresponds to the
conflict between the Zadokite succession and 'the beast of blasphemy'
-- Imperial Rome." (29:183, 56)
To illustrate the point, Bloodline Of The Holy Grail features a
picture of an angel slaying a dragon with the following caption:
"Truth Against the World by Peter Robson. The day of fulfillment when
the DRAGON is slain and the PHOENIX shall rise...Wearing the black
garb of the esoteric church, the triumphant woman carries the
therapeutic serpent of wisdom and healing."
The esoteric church mentioned here are the Gnostics cults in their
myriad forms ~ from the ancient mystery religions to the Alexandrian
School of Egypt, to the medieval Celtic Druids, Knights Templar and
Babylonian Kabbalists, to the enlightened Rosicrucians and modern
Freemasons and New Agers. According to the annals of Merovingian
revisionist history, the esoteric church suffered the persecutions of
the Catholic Church, which the authors misleadingly identify as the
Christian Church. According to their prophetic tradition, "The
Michael," who will come forward (stand up) as the lineal descendant of
Jesus Christ and the apotheosis of Michael the Archangel, defeats the
Roman dragon or "Christianity's Christ" who will "fake uniting the
people …under the promised covenant of peace."
However, the caption under the Stewart Crest of the Phoenix on the
Scottish Stewart Clan Home page states: "Courage gains strength from a
wound," which reveals that the Merovingian dynasty (rather than the
Roman Church) is "the beast which had the wound by a sword, and did
live." (Rev. 13:3,12,14) Fritz Springmeier states in The Top 13
Illuminati Bloodlines:
"The 13th bloodline lacks nothing to bring forth their Anti-Christ who
will appear to have all the correct credentials. I would not even be
surprised if their Anti-Christ, in order to appear real, will expose
another Anti-Christ." (p. 229)
THE MICHAEL
No doubt the sacred Stone of Destiny will be consulted to identify the
royal heir to the Throne of England, to whom has also been given the
right (according to Merovingian tradition) to accede to the Throne of
Jerusalem, occupying the seat of authority over the kingdoms of this
world. It seems incredible that the Merovingian legend, with no basis
in fact, could garner enough credibility to convince modern man that a
persona with the credentials of "Michael the Archangel" is the
legitimate heir to the Thrones of England and Jerusalem, having a
place in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. However, the groundwork has
been carefully laid over many decades for this very deception.
In the 1970's, the popular Mary Stewart series of novels were
published about King Arthur, the legendary guardian of the Holy Grail,
and the Knights of the Round Table. In recent years, popular movies
such as Braveheart (William Wallace, the hero of Scottish
independence) "Indiana Jones" and "First Knight" have been subtly
indoctrinating the masses with Merovingian lore. The History Channel
often presents documentaries, such as "The Shadow of the Knights
Templars" and "In Search of the Holy Grail," which present the
Merovingian quest in a positive light. And a TV series called
Highlander features a Scottish hero who, in the final scene, usually
beheads a hapless victim with his sword.
One movie titled "Michael" featured John Travolta as Michael the
Archangel come to earth to answer a widow's prayer for help. When
questioned about his promiscuous conduct by a reporter who thought
angels should be holy, Michael retorted, "I'm not that kind of angel."
Another movie, "City of Angels" stars an angel who falls in love with
a human girl and is willing to forfeit eternity and become a human
being because he loves her so much.
The purpose of these movies is most likely to prepare the world for
"The Michael," who will be the first of many demons to manifest
physically in the same manner recorded in the pre-flood account of
Genesis:
"...the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and
they took them wives of all which they chose." (Gen. 6:2) In very
fact, Jesus foretold in his endtime discourse: "But as the days of Noe
were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matt. 24.37)
MICHAEL OF THE CULTS
An impersonator of Michael the Archangel who becomes a key figure in
the unfolding of Bible prophecy would be welcomed with open arms by
many false religions like the Jehovah's Witnesses, which already
regard him to be Jesus. According to the research of the Watchmen
Fellowship Expositor, "Jesus of the Watchtower" is not God but an
archangel:
"The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, head-quartered in Brooklyn,
New York, teaches that Jesus has not always existed, but was himself a
created being originally named Michael, the Archangel."
The Jehovah's Witnesses' view of Christ is explained in their book,
Aid To Bible Understanding:
"'Scriptural evidence indicates that the name Michael applied to God's
Son before he left heaven to become Jesus Christ and also after his
return. Michael is the only one said to be the 'archangel,' meaning
'chief angel' or 'principle angel.'" (p. 1152)
A New Age site sponsored by The Morontia Foundation promotes devotion
to the Archangel Michael who will prepare mankind for the new
millennium:
"Archangel Michael ~ St. Michael, The Archangel of Cosmic Justice, is
the spiritual force which moves justice throughout the universe!
Archangel Michael's Clarion Call is to alert all souls to the changes
in the coming new millennium. The mission of Michael's ministry is to
teach each one of you how to raise your consciousness in preparation
for the coming changes and to align you with the energy of the new
millennium to achieve your greatest prosperity, abundance, joy and
true love."
Finally, Dr. Malachi Martin, a close associate of Pope John Paul II,
has sanctioned a pamphlet by the title of Saint Michael's Sword.
Noting that St Michael the Archangel appeared in the 100th year of Our
Lady of Guadalupe (April 25, 1631), the publication is dedicated to
the honor of Saint Michael the Archangel-Prince.
"May the wonders performed at San Miguel del Milagro continue to draw
all to thank God for the grace of our mighty and noble angelic
defender…in front of this place can be found a spring of miraculous
water for all infirmities… Don't doubt what I tell you. This light
which you have seen descend from heaven is the virtue which God is
giving to this spring for the health and healing of all infirmities
and necessities. Make it known to all." (James David Holloway, Jr.,
Texas:1990)
It is significant that this pamphlet is reproduced on an Irish/Celtic
web site, Star Harbor, where many publications by Malachi Martin are
advertised. Considering medieval history, modern Celts and Roman
Catholics seem strange bedfellows indeed. However, prophecies of
Nostradamus and a medieval Irish priest and Kabbalist who became St.
Malachi foretell that a final pope will betray Holy Mother Church into
the hands of Antichrist. ("The Antichrist and the Pope," Nostradamus)
MICHAEL THE RESTRAINER?
We would expect the cults to confuse Michael the Archangel with God,
however, it is disconcerting to discover that Christian ministries are
also promoting Michael beyond the boundaries set in Scripture. Several
years ago, Trinity Broadcasting Network was offering a statue of
Michael to those who send a large enough "love gift." The 8-1/2" tall
molded acrylic statue depicts Michael's defeat of Satan. With spread
wings and sword drawn, Michael held a chain (ready to throw Satan into
the pit for 1,000 years) with his foot on the Dragon's head.
More ominously, a Christian book, The Pre-Wrath Rapture Of The Church
by Marvin Rosenthal, teaches that Michael the Archangel is the
Restrainer of II Thessalonians 2:6 and 7, which states: "And now ye
know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the
mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will
let, until he be taken out of the way." Rosenthal supports this claim
by interpreting Daniel 12:1 as: Michael, the prince, standing aside
rather than standing up for Israel.
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which
standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of
trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same
time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that
shall be found written in the book."
Denying the orthodox interpretation of Daniel 12:1, Rosenthal strains
credibility in his exposition of this verse in his chapter, "The
Archangel Michael: Protectorof Israel, Restrainer of the Antichrist":
"But what does the expression, 'And at that time shall Michael stand
up,' mean? Rashi, one of Israel's greatest teachers, whose Hebrew
scholarship is unexcelled, and one who had no concern regarding the
issue of the timing of the Rapture understood stand up (Hebrew, amad)
to literally mean 'stand still' in Daniel 12:1. Michael, the guardian
of Israel, had earlier fought for her (Dan. 10:13, 21), but now he
would 'stand still or stand aside.' He would not help; he would not
restrain; he would not hold down.
"Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible says that amad means 'To
stand, stand still or fast.' And Strong's concordance cites one of the
root meanings of amad as "cease" and one of its definitions as 'stand
still.'
"If a man is reclining or seated and is said to amad, he will stand
'up.' If a man is standing and active and said to amad, he will stand
'still.' The archangel Michael, in context, was already said to be
actively defending Israel. To amad meant he would 'stand still,'
'desist,' or 'cease' his defense on their behalf.
"Some clear biblical instances of amad meaning 'to be still' or
'desist' are: 'they…stood still {desisted}, and answered no more' (Job
32:16); and again, 'And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the
people {for he was above all the people}; and when he opened it, all
the people stood up' (Neh. 8:5). Commenting on this verse, Rashi
indicates that the people kept quiet (stood still) while Ezra read the
Torah.
"Rashi wrote, concerning Daniel 12:1, 'The Holy One, Blessed be He,
said to Michael, 'You are silent? You do not defend my children.' The
archangel Michael who had specifically been involved with standing for
Israel will, in the middle of the seventieth week, stand still,
desist, stand aside, cease to stand for her."
In every other verse in which it appears in the book of Daniel, the
Hebrew word "amad" is translated "stand up." In Strong's Concordance,
the word "amad" is actually defined as follows:
5975. amad, aw-mad'; a prim. root; to stand, in various relations
(lit. and fig., intrans. and trans.): -- abide (behind), appoint,
arise, cease, confirm, dwell, be employed, endure, establish, leave,
make, ordain, be [over], place, (be) present (self), raise up, remain,
repair, + serve, set (forth, over, -tle, up), (make to, make to be at
a, with-) stand (by, fast, firm, still, up), (be at a) stay (up),
tarry.
To support his choice of translation, Marvin Rosenthal cites the
commentary of a prominent Jewish scholar named Rashi. From Rashi's
interpretation of Daniel 12:1 Rosenthal then draws the conclusion that
Michael must therefore be "he that letteth...until he be taken out of
the way" in II Thess. 2:7. Rosenthal includes no documented
information about "Rashi, one of Israel's greatest scholars, whose
Hebrew scholarship is unexcelled..." However a search on the Internet
finds Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, 1040-1105 A.D.) recommended on
several Kabbalist Lubavitch web sites, such as the Chabad Lubavitch in
Cyberspace and The Kabbalah Learning Center. On the web site of The
Kabbalah Center, the commentaries of Rashi on the Torah and Talmud are
acclaimed by Kabbalists to be "a cornerstone of Jewish learning . . .
Considered Israel’s greatest interpretation." The Kabbalah Learning
Center Internet page, which displayed the Rampant Lion of the
Merovingians, also defined the Kabbalah for the uninitiated:
"KABBALAH is mystical Judaism. It is the deepest and most hidden
meaning of the Torah, or Bible. Through the ultimate knowledge and
mystical practices of Kabbalah, one can reach the highest spiritual
levels attainable. Although many people rely on belief, faith, and
dogmas in pursuing the meaning of life, the unknown, and the unseen,
Kabbalists seek a spiritual connection with the Creator and the forces
of the Creator, so that the strange becomes familiar, and faith
becomes knowledge.
"Students [of The Kabbalah Learning Center] come away with a new sense
of consciousness about people, the environment, and the true meaning
of life. Armed with these concepts, the student can then keep on
taking eight and twelve week classes on advanced kabbalistic concepts,
reincarnation, healing, astrology, and other intriguing subjects.
There are also special seminars on everything from healing
relationships to Kabbalah and Business to the kabbalistic meaning of
the Torah."
Israeli journalist and author, Hannah Newman, warns her Jewish readers
that the Kabbalah is no longer the exclusive province of practical
occultists, but has being mainstreamed into traditional Judaism.
"In a similar development on the mystical side of Judaism, New Age
spokesmen applaud orthodox Jewish teachers for recently releasing
Kabbalah from the restricted access imposed on it by past generations
of Jewish sages, making its teachings available to all, and even
encouraging free exploration without rabbinic supervision. In Israel
the Zohar (a major Kabbalistic work) is even being sold door-to-door.
[This is strictly forbidden under the 'old order' of Judaism, but New
Agers are not concerned with proper understanding of the teaching,
since Kabbalah is simply one path to their goal of getting as many
people as possible, as quickly as possible, into 'contact with the
spirit realm']. These teachers are being hailed as 'co-conspirators'
who are furthering the New Age Plan. [not stated whether deliberately
or unknowingly, but the results will be the same.]" (Masters of the
Blinding Light)
Although Rashi is considered by Hannah and other Jewish
traditionalists to be a universally respected commentator in Judaism,
this scholar's wide appeal to Kabbalists and mainstream Jews alike
hardly recommends him as an authority on Bible doctrine. Marvin
Rosenthal uses other uninspired and questionable sources, such as the
Apocryphal book of Maccabees, the Midrash and apostate theologian,
F.F. Bruce.
MICHAEL THE INITIATOR
Preeminently, The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church betrays an end-time
agenda which could easily align with the Merovingian conspiracy, as
the following excerpts demonstrate:
1. Misidentification of the dragon in Rev. 12 as the Roman Church
engenders hostility toward the Pope and his Church, the archenemies of
the Prieuré de Sion.
"Revelation 12 through 14 form a trilogy of thought. First, chapter 12
speaks of a woman (Israel) who gives birth to a child (Christ) and of
Satan who, when his false religious system (Romanist) is unable to
kill Christ, assails the Jewish people through whom Christ came into
the world. If he cannot get them to bow to him, he will attempt to
kill them so that they cannot bow to the true Christ. The ultimate
manifestation of this scheme will occur during the Great Tribulation,
'the time of Jacob's trouble. (Jer. 30:7; Dan 12:1; Matt. 24:21)" (pp.
73-74)
2. Misinterpretation of Rev. 17:14 in the present tense moves the
destruction of the Antichrist forward in the timetable of events so
that it coincides with the destruction of Mystery Babylon. The verse
says that the Lamb "shall" overcome the ten horns. Rosenthal states:
"...the defeat of the Antichrist, which immediately follows the
destruction of Babylon with its false religious system. (Rev. 17:5,
14)" (p. 74)
3. Misrepresentation of the Antichrist political system as "atheistic"
is a set up for the introduction of a theocracy based on the mystery
religions under the Merovingian priest/king. According to Daniel 11,
the Antichrist will be quite religious, worshipping the god of forces
(the force). However, Rosenthal states:
"(Antichrist's) purpose will be assimilation of the Jewish people
through the religion of humanism...Humanistic philosophy rests on four
major pillars. The first is atheism, the belief that there is no
God...The second pillar of humanism is evolution...The third pillar of
humanism, moral relativity, comes logically out of the two... The
fourth pillar is pragmatic and relates to values and lifestyle. If
atheism and evolution are true and no absolutes exist, then amorality,
which means no morality reigns...there is no right or wrong." (pp.
81-2)
Pre-Wrath Rapture Of The Church has many other elements necessary to
prepare the apostate church which, left on earth after the
Pretribulation Rapture, will accept a "Michael" character who will be
heralded as the heroic deliverer of Israel before the genuine Michael
the Archangel comes on the scene (Daniel 12:1, Rev. 12:7). Tragically,
other pseudo-Christian books, such as Cosmic Christmas by Max Lucado,
are conditioning the apostate church to accept manifestations of
angels as the officiates of the global initiation.
Considering the Merovingian plan to introduce "The Michael" as heir to
the Throne of Jerusalem in the lineage of Jesus Christ, and also the
identification of Jesus as Michael the Archangel in the various false
religions, Pre-Wrath Rapture may be just the book to deceive those who
miss the real rapture. According to Rosenthal's confusing exegesis of
I Thess. 4:16, there will either be two shouts at the Second Coming
(the Lord's shout and Michael's voice) or there is a subtle attempt
here to blend the two.
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout {the
victor's shout (see Joel 2:11 where Jesus is seen to shout in
connection with His coming at the Day of the Lord)}, with the voice of
the archangel {Michael is the only angel ever specifically given the
title "archangel" (Jude 9); although Gabriel may also be an archangel,
he is never so designated}, and with the trump of God {the trump is
blown in connection with (1) calling God's people to His presence
(Num. 10:3; cf. Mt. 24:31; 1 Cor. 15:51-52) and, therefore, would be
appropriate in connection with the Rapture..."
To appreciate the grave danger of Rosenthal's obfuscation of Jesus
Christ and Michael, consider the following statement from a
Seventh-Day Adventist organization. Interpreting Scripture with
Scripture, the student of the Bible will recognize the erroneous
interpretations of the woman as the church, the dragon as Rome and
Michael as Christ!
"The Bible identifies who Michael is: The name is from the Hebrew
mika'el which means 'who is like God'. Michael is called 'one of the
chief princes" (Dan. 10:13), 'your Prince' (Dan. 10:21), and the
"great Prince" (Dan. 12:1). He is the Archangel of Jude 9 who has
resurrection power as is witnessed by His resurrection of Moses. At
His Second Coming Christ will call the dead forth 'with the
archangel's call' (1Thes. 4:16). Only Christ has the 'keys of death'
(Rev. 1:18). Michael must be Christ who claimed, "I am the
resurrection and the life." John 11:25" (Astounding Bible Truths)
Interestingly, the 'Astounding Bible Truths' Sabbath page links to
another Seventh-Day Adventist web site, Our Sabbath Heritage, which
promotes the Celtic Church, on which page is found a "speaking stone."
"The Changan Monument, or the "speaking stone," as it is called, is
considered to be as important a find as the Rosetta Stone for it had
the inscriptions in more than one language. The truth was preserved
because the Jesuits were not able to read the inscription that was in
Syrian."
The author, James Arrabito, connects Seventh-Day Adventists with the
Celtic Church and presents the typical Celtic revisionist history,
i.e., the "true Christian" Celtic Church vs. the Roman Catholic dragon
:
"Wherever the influence of the Roman Catholic Jesuit Priests extended,
they systematically destroyed and falsified the true records of
Christian history. As the night of the Dark Ages began to fade in the
light of the nineteenth century, the moving of God's hand was shown in
another discovery. Two renown British scholars, Reverend Dr. Graves,
(Bishop of Limerick, a pillar in the Anglo-Irish Church), and Sir
Samuel Fergusson, (distinguished lawyer and counsel to the Queen of
England), presented their discoveries to an astonished British
intellectual community.
"These gentlemen proved that the ancient Celtic Ogam writings
discovered on tombs and ancient temples in Ireland and Scotland were
NOT writings of later centuries, but, were in fact related to, and
pre-dated ancient Latin. These, and other startling discoveries
revealed that the primitive seventh-day Sabbath-keeping Celtic church
originated during the Roman occupation of Britain, and that the
retreats of the Irish monks had been the last bastion of classical
knowledge in the western world, when the rest of the world had
collapsed into barbarism and papal superstition." (Ibid.)
The Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, New Age cults,
Rosicrucians, the Celtic Church -- all are looking for the appearance
of "The Michael" or Michael the Archangel who will defeat the Dragon,
which they propose is the Roman Catholic Church. All have rearranged
the end-time scenario so that the "The Michael" arrives on the scene
at the mid-point of the tribulation, at which time he slays the
"dragon" (i.e., the Pope and his church), after which Michael takes
his place as "Christ" on the throne of the Temple of Jerusalem. After
"The Michael's" glorious victory, a global initiation will most likely
be performed as mankind makes a covenant of loyalty to the true
Antichrist. We can only surmise that this out-of-body experience will
closely mimic I Corinthians 15:52 -- "In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
What rationalization will have been offered to the apostate church
after the true Church is taken out of this world? Alice Bailey wrote
in Initiation: Human & Solar that these were souls who did not
"achieve the needed expansion of consciousness... (they) will be held
to be failures... transferred to those planetary schemes which from
the point of view of time are not so far advanced as our Earth
scheme." (164::96)
KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE
According to the World Book Encyclopedia, "Saint Michael was the
patron saint of knights." Upon researching the plethora of Grail
literature inundating the mass media, one discovers that
indoctrination in medieval pagan lore is taking place on a grand
scale. Although Christians would prefer to believe that the occult
legend of the Merovingian bloodline is confined to the network of New
Age cults, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that this
megalomaniacal vision is being introduced to the Christian community
Church via change agents who are surreptitiously promoting Celtic lore
and traditions under the banners of "righteousness," "morality,"
"integrity," "honor," "chivalry," ad infinitum.
Through many points of entry, the legendary heroism of the medieval
warrior/mystic/monks is being promoted in Christian churches. The
Scottish Stewart Clan's promotion of the Toronto Blessing reveals the
true source of this occult revival. Another piece of evidence linking
the Merovingians to the revival is a 1997 post from Revival leader,
Richard Riss, concerning a change of leadership at the Seattle Revival
Center. Seattle seems to be a main center for the global planners,
being the headquarters of one of the ten Federal Regions of the United
States:
Celtic Revival Swords
"…The following change has been announced at Seattle Revival Center,
Seattle, WA on Friday, Oct.24, 1997. Please feel free to use this
information as you deem appropriate. Thanks.
"The theme for the Third Annual Celebration of the birth of Seattle
Revival Center, 'You Haven’t Seen Anything Yet!' was more appropriate
than any imagined. During the conference, the leadership of SRC met to
affirm that God was calling these men to pass leadership of the Center
to others in order to move into a greater dimension of ministry for
past leadership and SRC. Wayne Anderson, Steve Richard and Darrel
Stott have increasingly been called to America and the nations,
necessitating a change in local leadership of SRC.
"In a highly emotional and dramatic 'passing of the torch' ceremony,
the three founders of Seattle Revival Center gathered with new
leadership at a 'Knights of the Round Table.' During an exchange of
Celtic swords, the Holy Spirit moved powerfully on the entire group,
confirming the direction of God. Stacey Campbell, of Kelowna, B.C.
followed, and prophecied an increase and enlargement of the effect and
impact of Seattle Revival Center both regionally and in the world..."
(Seattle Revival Center, 12636 SE 89th PL, Newcastle, WA 98056)
The ceremonial exchange of Celtic swords among the Revival leaders at
a "Knights of the Roundtable" is manifestly derived from the Celtic
legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The fame of
King Arthur, leader of the Britons, circa 500 AD, derives from his
election as Guardian of the Holy Grail, reported to be the cup used by
Jesus and His disciples at the Last Supper. Readers who are familiar
with the tales of the Arthurian period of English history (e.g.
Camelot) will recall the degeneracy of King Arthur's legendary Court
rather than its virtue. A New Age book, Messiah & the Second Coming by
John David and Naomi Rice, recalls the much glamorized affair at
Camelot:
"The fair Knight Lancelot came to King Arthur in his young manhood,
gifted, adventure-some, idealistic, the King and knights accepted him
into their sacred group. Guinevere gave Lancelot her heart instantly.
He returned her love and betrayed his king, though he loved Arthur,
Lancelot took every opportunity to be with Queen Guinevere…
"The guilty love between Lancelot and Guinevere cast a cloud upon King
Arthur's court. Misdirected thinking and living for self-gratification
has a way of being contagious. Other knights began to weaken and live
for pleasure…
"Guinevere's power over Lancelot caused him to fail in his quest for
the Holy Grail. …Jealousy and ambition overcame the knights and the
secret love of Lancelot and Guinevere denounced by each of them to the
King. Arthur's grief appears to be more for Lancelot, his fair knight,
than for his love, Guinevere. Lancelot fled to France, Arthur
followed, but while Arthur was gone some of the knights seized the
kingdom. Arthur returns, having lost his battle with Lancelot. Arthur
wins back his kingdom but is mortally wounded." (John Davis and Naomi
Rice, Messiah and the Second Coming, Coptic Press, 1982, pp. 100-1)
Warrior Children
Notwithstanding the moral condition of Arthur's Knights of the
Roundtable, there is on the Internet the home page of a private
Calvert's School that offers to parents who homeschool their children
a "King Arthur and His Knights" interactive CD-Rom. This CD is even
designated "Winner of a 1996 Parents' Choice Honor."
"Calvert School's Home Instruction Department is proud to offer its
first interactive CD-ROM, King Arthur Through the Ages. The program,
appropriate for students from fifth grade through adult, allows one to
read a story about the Round Table, hear an excerpt from Geoffrey's
[of Monmouth] account, or see the coat of arms of an Arthurian knight
from an unpublished 16th century manuscript. This compendium of
literature, art, history and legend may serve as a perfect
introduction to the Arthurian legend or a gateway into the vast body
of Arthurian lore beyond Calvert's fifth grade text King Arthur and
His Knights. The fee for King Arthur is $40.00."
Another New Age book, The Grail Castle: Myths And Mysteries in the
Celtic Tradition by Kenneth Johnson and Marguerite Elsbeth, advocates
the myth of the Grail legend as appropriate material for those
involved in the "universal male quest" for "genuine masculine
empowerment," also called the "quest for the Grail Castle." (It is
noteworthy that numerous Stewarts are affiliated with Calvary Chapel
whose European Conference Center is a castle in the Austrian Alps.)
Inspired by the Arthurian tradition, the authors suggest that the
training of a young boy as a warrior requires that he be mentored by a
man other than his own father.
"Few Celtic myths describe for us a deep relationship between father
and son. In many cases, the father is entirely absent, a dim figure
who never appears on the stage...King Arthur's father Uther Pendragon
actually gave his son up to be raised in the woods, then proceeded to
die during the boy's absence...A mentor is not the same as a father.
Our fathers are too close to us to play the role of mentor or
initiator...The father figure and more specifically his professional
interest, is often rejected in favor of something different, new and
more exciting... If Dad is vice president of the local bank the
Warrior child may rove the world as a hired mercenary. Therefore, in
traditional societies, the mentor role is often played by a male
relative." (Llewellyn Pub., 1995, pp. 22-27)
"Christian" Initiation?
The point is made that initiation is the rite of passage which
transforms a young boy into a warrior. In very fact, some churches are
now substituting initiation ceremonies for the "new birth" which is
only accomplished by the Holy Spirit, and never through rite or
ceremony. A neo-Evangelical magazine, Sojourners, claims to be "Rooted
in the solid ground of prophetic biblical tradition…a progressive
Christian voice…." The May/June 1996 issue of Sojourners contains an
article by a priest titled "Boys To Men: Rediscovering Rites of
Passage for Our Time." The very structured process situation described
by the author, a Franciscan monk, insures that the hapless victim is
psychologically manipulated into compliance by employing the same mind
control techniques used by cults to divest their prey of volition and
freedom:
"Cultures throughout history have felt that if a young man were not
initiated to 'the mysteries,' he would not know what to do with his
pain and would almost always abuse his power. Richard Rohr relates
five difficult male initiation truths: Life is hard. You are going to
die. You are not that important. You are not in control. Your life is
not about you. Read his sample North American initiation pattern, A
Process of Transformation.
A Process of Transformation
A sample North American initiation pattern.
By Richard Rohr, O.F.M.
WHO: "Godfathers" and teen-age boys of almost even numbers. No
observers.
WHERE: Someplace in the natural world, apart from what has become
predictable. "Liminal" and sacred space must be created.
[Editor's Note: Sacred space, such as the "sacred circle," is a
physical area that has been ritually set apart for paranormal
conditions to exist. "Liminal" is derived from the word limen which
means "threshold." Describing humanity as the Dweller on the
Threshold, Theosophist Alice Bailey specified that "threshold" meant
"the threshold of divinity." (62) The initiate is also called the
Dweller on the Threshold, who is expecting to be transformed into the
divine state through occult power.]
WHAT to bring: Just what is needed for survival and ritual. Sparse,
stripped-down possessions. No radios, tape players, newspapers, or
books to hide in. Each young man has a special journal, perhaps
presented by his mother before he leaves, which he is guided to write
in at least twice a day. Honest feelings, fears, desires, prayers, and
experiences must be named personally and safely or the young man will
not go deep inside.
HOW LONG: From a minimum of four days to whatever is workable. If work
cannot be taken off or schedules changed, the message of intense
significance will not be given. Create expectation long beforehand in
whatever ways you can devise: meet as a group several times, pray
together, give books to read, make expectations very clear that
everybody will be together from start to finish.
HOW: Three stages with the young man must be ritualized, experienced,
and talked about:
1. Leaving, letting go, separation from boyhood, irresponsibility, his
former status, and the seeing of women and older men as his servants.
This can be done through some kind of death ritual, whereby he accepts
the eternal pattern of dying as the prerequisite for all rebirth.
Elders tell a bit of their story.
2. Experiencing an alternative universe now. Normally some time of
extended silence, solitude, and deprivation wherein he can learn to
draw upon deeper resources than he is presently aware of. The "desert"
of Jesus, the vision quest of the native peoples "secularized in boot
camp and athletic training" must be made sacred again, but not
"churchy." He must be alone long enough to see the patterns in all of
nature.
3. Incorporating and affiliating with "sacred manhood." This can be
done in a final time of storytelling by elders, where they let the
boys "in." This must be vulnerable, honest, and intimate; sharing
faith and one's own path, along with hopes and care for the new
initiate. There can be a celebration ritual and symbols given, but
don't overdo anything. A stark and clear understatement is safer for
the male. If he does not feel manipulated or told what to feel, he is
more likely to trust his real experience.
WHEN: At a time when elders have themselves been "initiated into the
mysteries" and have something to say about reality, God, suffering,
community, transformation, and growth. When boys are prepared, given
expectation, but also can come with genuine freedom.
IF: The ritual can only be done if there is some "common wonderful,"
some shared goodness, some "great idea" that the elders already have
between them. Unless there is a collective wisdom that the boy is
being initiated into, it will not have depth or endurance. It might
take a year for the elders to find what it is themselves! Then
initiate the next generation."
RAISING MODERN-DAY KNIGHTS
Last year, Focus on the Family published a book titled Raising a
Modern-Day Knight, by Robert Lewis. This publication appeals to the
legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table to recommend
that Christian fathers return to the wisdom of medieval paganism for
the training of their sons. The following excerpt, from a section of
Robert Lewis' book titled "The Knight and His Round Table," recommends
that men become bonded with other men through the mystical power of
ceremony:
"In the Middle Ages, pages and squires became knights because they
were part of a masculine community. At an early age, the page left
home and entered into a mentoring relationship with an older man,
usually a cousin or an uncle… Boys become men in the community of men.
There is no substitute for this vital component. Dad, if your boy is
to become a man, you must enlist the community...the community of men
expands a son's spiritual and moral resources... Bonded through the
mystical power of ceremony, [they] become mentors to these young
men...If you are serious about moving your son to manhood, begin
asking the Lord to lead you to a small community of men..." (Focus on
the Family Pub., 1997, pp. 150-51)
What community of men that is based on the order of knighthood would
provide a bonding experience through the mystical power of ceremony?
The global network of secret societies under the oversight of the
Prieuré de Sion offer many such opportunities through various
fraternities such as Freemasonry, Skull & Bones, Knights Templar,
Knights of Malta, etc.
Not unlike other New Age propaganda, Raising a Modern-Day Knight
attempts to inculcate Christians with the notion that the knights of
medieval Europe were honorable men. Calling evil good, Christian
leaders who glorify knighthood omit to mention the bloodshed,
debauchery and occult rituals which were the lifestyle of the medieval
mystic/warrior/monks. Consider the following profile of the Knights
Templar by Michael Biagent and Richard Leigh, excerpted from The
Temple & the Lodge:
"At the apex of their power, the Templars were accused of pride,
arrogance, ruthlessness, and intemperate and dissolute behaviour. 'To
drink like a Templar' was a frequent simile in medieval England; and
despite their vow of chastity, the knights seem to have wenched as
zealously as they drank. But whatever their conduct in such respects
as these, their reputation for accuracy, honesty and integrity in
financial affairs remained untarnished. One might not like them, but
one knew one could rely on them…
"In theory, canon law forbade Christians to engage in usury, the
collecting of interest on loans. One might expect this interdict to
have been applied even more stringently to an institution as
ostensibly pious as the Temple. Nevertheless, the Temple lent money,
and collected interest, on a massive scale. In one proven case, the
agreed rate of interest on late payment of debt was 60 percent per
year - 17 percent more than Jewish money-lenders were allowed to
claim…
"Among biblical texts, they constantly invoked Joshua and Maccabees,
promoting themselves as latterday avatars of the army that toppled the
walls of Jericho, the army that nearly defeated Rome in the years just
prior to the Christian era…
"Amidst the mystique surrounding the Order of the Temple, a number of
echoes and images thus become fused. Joshua's army, the Maccabees, the
Grail knights emerged with yet other historical and/or legendary
antecedents - the peers of Charlemagne, the Arthurian Knights of the
Round Table and, especially in the British Isles, the Red Branch of
Ulster. Nor was military prowess the only virtue. The Templars appear
in The Persevalus not just as military men, but also as high mystical
initiates. This is indicative, for the Templars were only too eager to
reinforce the popular image of themselves as magi, as wizards or
sorcerers, as necromancers, as alchemists, as sages privy to lofty
arcane secrets. And indeed, it was precisely this image that rebounded
upon them and provided their enemies with the means of their
destruction.
"…there is a well-known Celtic 'cult of the head' - the ancient Celtic
belief that the head contained the soul, and that the heads of
vanquished adversaries should therefore be severed and preserved.
Indeed, the severed head is now regarded as one of the hallmarks of
ancient Celtic culture…At the same time, the Templars had their own
'cult of the head.' Among the charges preferred against them, and one
to which a number of knights pleaded guilty, was that of worshipping a
mysterious severed head some-times known as 'Baphomet'…
"In the list of charges drawn up by the Inquisition against the
Templars on 12 August 1308, there appears the following:
"Item, that in each province they had idols, namely heads…
"Item, that they adored these idols…
"Item, that they said that the head could save them...
"Item, that [it could] make riches…
"Item, that it made the trees flower.
"Item, that [it made] the land germinate…" (106:49, 48, 91, 79)
Notwithstanding the patently ignoble character of medieval knights,
Focus on the Family sponsored the following promotional material for
Lewis' book:
Raising a Modern-Day Knight: A Father's Role in Guiding His Son to
Authentic Manhood by Robert Lewis
John Coale…7/13/97, rating =10:
Fathers - Join the Knights of the Round Table
"Out of the Dark Ages rose noble characters to preserve and maintain
law, justice, and social order. They became gentle men, men of valor,
principled men-Knights. All knights swore an oath to and lived by a
code of conduct: loyalty, chivalry, honesty, generosity, unselfish
service, dedicated to justice, with Biblical principles of absolute
right and wrong, and obedience to God. A knight who broke his oath was
charged with treason for betraying the order of knighthood. These
ideals combined with the well-defined mentoring process made a boy
into a knight. By age eight, a boy left his mother's care and became a
page, learning the rudiments of knighthood under a mentor. By age 14,
he became a squire, a knight's servant, while perfecting his skills
through discipline and hard work. When he turned 21, he was eligible
for knighthood. His ceremony was memorable--a ritual cleansing,
ceremonial dress, a day of fasting and a night of prayer, confession,
communion, a review of his moral, religious, social, and military
duties, and, finally, a question. For what purpose do you desire to
enter the order? If it be riches, to take your ease, and be held in
honor without doing honor to knighthood, you are unworthy of it.
"Now image your son going through this knightly process to attain
Biblical manhood. Yes, it can be done. For fathers, Robert Lewis
outlines a practical guide to teach and live these ideals, mentoring
your son in the process to become a knight. What is a Man? What are
his responsibilities, his beliefs, his behavior, and his goals? When
does a boy become a man in our society? When he gets his driver's
license, joins the Army, takes a woman to bed, or financially provides
for himself? First, Raising a Modern-Day Knight provides a vision for
manhood. It characterizes a man who rejects passivity, accepts
responsibility, leads courageously, and expects the greater
reward-God's reward. Second, it defines a Biblical code of conduct:
loyalty (Hos 6:6), servant-leadership (Mat 20:26-27), kindness (Pro
19:22), humility (Phil 2:3), purity (1 Tim 4:12), honesty (Eph 4:25),
self-discipline (1 Tim 4:7-8), excellence (1 Cor 9:24), integrity (Pro
10:9), and perseverance (Gal 6:9). Finally, it establishes a superior
cause to work towards which can only be satisfied in Jesus Christ.
"By celebrating the stages of training with ceremony, a father
reinforces the process. Through godly example, teachable moments,
inspiring stories, and positive affirmations, a father helps his young
knight discover a will to obey God, to employ God's gifts, and to
respect women. Are you ready to be a knightly example for your son?
Work for the King and become His knight. Pass it on to your son. A
righteous man who walks in integrity-how blessed are his sons after
him. (Pro 20:7)
"Highly Recommended for small groups of men to create a round table of
their own."
THE GLOBAL ROUND TABLE
According to Messiah and the Second Coming, the concept of King
Arthur's Round Table was based on the Last Supper of Jesus Christ and
His disciples:
"King Arthur founded the Round Table, which legend dramatically
declared was symbolically the same table present at the Last Supper. A
high spiritual power wrote the name of the knight who should sit in
each chair. Each knight must pass certain tests of valor before he
could occupy a chair at the table. Spiritually every aspirant to the
holy life is tested before being permitted to enter into the
activities of the special inner circle. The chair remains vacant until
the perfect knight appears, portrayed by Sir Galahad who said, 'It is
here that I must renounce all things in order that I may gain all.'
The true test of one questing for Christed Consciousness." (p.99)
Round Table conferences are common throughout the globalist network
and are also becoming popular among the ecumenically-minded
denominations of the apostate church. The Call To Renewal is a
coalition of various Christian and Catholic denominations and
ministries that have appointed themselves "Christians for a New
Political Vision."
In April of 1997, The Call to Renewal sponsored a "Christian
Roundtable on Poverty and Welfare Reform" in which religious leaders
discussed the role of church and state in overcoming poverty:
"On Saturday, April 26, Call to Renewal will convene a roundtable
initiating dialogue among a broad cross-section of Christian leaders
about the crisis now facing America's poor, and what the Church will
do about it. 'The Church Steps Forward: A Christian Roundtable on
Poverty and Welfare Reform' will take place in Philadelphia in
conjunction with the Presidents' Summit for America's Future."
Following this conference, The Call to Renewal went to work creating
an ecumenical network of regional roundtables across the U.S.
"We will create a new federated network that will include covenanted,
affiliated organizations, local "tables," congregations, and
individuals . . . As convener Jim Wallis and field organizer Rev.
Emory Searcy Jr. travel around the country, these new tables are
already forming. New alliances are being built between groups that
historically have not worked together...The Pentecost activities this
spring will be an opportunity to announce the formation of these new
tables around the country. Following special worship services in local
congregations, public events will proclaim the beginning of a new Call
to Renewal table."
Also on April 26, 1997, some 4,500 delegates attended the Philadelphia
Summit on America's Future, which was convened by President Clinton
and chaired by former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Colin
Powell. President Clinton has been affiliated with the three leading
New World Order organizations: the Council on Foreign Relations, the
Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderbergers. Colin Powell is a member
of the Council on Foreign Relations, which is a virtual showcase of
roundtable discussion groups.
The authors of Messiah & the Second Coming conclude their discussion
of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in a chapter titled
"The Holy Grail" with the prediction of a global round table:
"The future world Round Table is being created now in the etheric
realms. The symbolic golden round table of King Arthur will eventually
manifest on earth where varieties of leaders, political, scientific,
spiritual, from all nations of the world, will dedicate their lives to
international objectives for the benefit of all, above nationalism,
above religionism, above personality, for the benefit of all peoples.
The spiritual unity of nations a true sister/brotherhood of humanity
encompassing universal principles of unconditional love and sharing,
is coming to bloom." (p.103)
When this celestial Round Table manifests on earth, it will be chaired
by a Merovingian descendant of King Arthur who was the fabled Guardian
of the Holy Grail during his particular era of history. Another New
Age book titled, The Light Shall Set You Free, recalling King Arthur's
mandate at Glastonbury, confirms that England will be the center for
world transformation..
"Following the death of Jesus, Mary went to England with Joseph of
Arimethea. This established the vortex for Camelot, destined to come
forth later in the fifth and sixth centuries. The Grail was placed in
Glastonbury for safekeeping at that time. It will be through the Grail
in England that the energies of transformation and ascension will be
channeled, which eventually will bring the Earth into the Seventh
Golden Age." (45:37)
A REVIVED MEROVINGIAN EMPIRE
This is the megalomaniac ambition of a Revived Merovingian Empire.
Perhaps Christians ought to reconsider the popular doctrines of modern
prophecy teachers, who teach that the final beast system will be a
Revived Roman Empire. This error is built upon a faulty exposition of
the four empires represented in Nebuchadnezzar's image in Daniel 2 and
the four beasts of Daniel 7, which are construed as referring to the
same world empires. A closer look at Daniel 2, 7 and Revelation 13
demonstrates otherwise.
Daniel 2:32-42 describes the Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman
empires. Daniel 2:38 states that the head of gold of Nebuchadnezzar's
image was the existing Babylonian Empire. "O king…Thou art this head
of gold."
All of the world empires described in Daniel 7 are future empires.
According to verse 17: "These great beasts, which are four, are four
kings, which shall arise out of the earth."
Whereas Dan. 2 identifies 3 future and 1 existing empire (the
Babylonian), Daniel 7:3-6 must refer to four future world empires:
"And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse from one 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 to 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."
Nazi Germany was known for its Panzer (panther or leopard) divisions
in World War II, and the symbol of Communist Russia is the bear which,
under Stalin, "devoured much flesh." The Royal Arms of England
displays the Rampant Lion, "made to stand upon the feet as a man,"
which is also a Merovingian symbol. The eagle's wings which were
plucked in Daniel 7:4 is an obvious reference to the United States,
whose government from its inception was the vehicle through which the
English Freemasons planned to establish the New World Order. Thus, a
reasonable interpretation of the symbolic beasts or world empires of
Daniel 7 places them in the period immediately preceding "the fourth
kingdom upon the earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and
shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in
pieces." (v.23)
The beasts of Daniel 7 are also found as the composite beast which
John saw rising out of the sea in his vision described in Revelation
13:1,2. Please recall that the Bistea Neptunis or "beast of the sea"
which is believed to be "ever incarnate in the dynasty of ancient
kings" and whose symbol was a fish, clearly identifies the mystical
Merovingian Fisher-Kings, who blasphemously claim to be of the
bloodline of Jesus Christ:
"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a BEAST RISE UP OUT OF
THE SEA, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
"And the beast which I saw was like unto a LEOPARD, and his feet were
as the feet of a BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a LION: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat and great authority."
Since Revelation 13 is identical to Daniel 7, future kingdoms are also
symbolically represented. And like Daniel 7, Revelation 13 describes
in symbols the Merovingian dynasty as the BEAST THAT RISES UP OUT OF
THE SEA. However, modern prophecy teachers have prevented the
identification of beast kingdom as a revived Merovingian Empire by
erroneously correlating the empires of Daniel 7 with those in Daniel
2. This misinterpretation of Daniel 7 has been a primary factor in
perpetuating a general ignorance of the Merovingian conspiracy,
insuring that its direction of world affairs behind the scenes will
continue largely unnoticed.
In the place of the proper interpretation of these prophecies, the
masses have been led to believe that a Revived Roman Empire controlled
by the Roman Church, will be the final Antichrist system. Having
established this deception and contrived to bring a false
interpretation of Bible prophecy to fulfillment, the stage will be set
for the Messiah of the Merovingian dynasty to vanquish the Pope and
his Roman religious system (the Dragon), after which glorious triumph
this false messiah will be crowned upon the throne of the Temple of
Jerusalem as "the Christ."
The ubiquitous propaganda of the Rosicrucian network would have the
undiscerning believe that the great end-time battle will be between
the noble Merovingian dynasty and a revived Holy Roman Empire,
respectively designated the Phoenix and the Dragon. However, Scripture
treats these two systems as being equally evil and worthy of God's
judgment. Revelation 17:16 describes the demise of the harlot church
at the hands of the beast: "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."
The destruction of MYSTERY BABYLON in Revelation 17-18 is not the end
of the story. The final battle is fought rather in Revelation 19,
which describes the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to destroy
the real Antichrist, who will be the Merovingian priest-king of the
make-believe Order of Michael-Zakok. Having vanquished the Pope, this
vile personage will rule the world with a modern Merlin the Magician -
the counterpart of King Arthur's Sorcerer - and the Knights of the
Global Round Table. Their minions will be the multitudes of Joel's
Army who have been initiated into the mysteries via Freemasonry and
its various religious fronts, which are indoctrinating multitudes with
medieval mysticism. The full cast of characters will conduct their
final Crusade against the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in a battle
which is described in Revelation 19:19-21 ~
"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and
against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false
prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them
that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his
image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with
brimstone."

The Third World War was the Cold War between Capitalism and Communism,
won by Ronald Wilson Reagan.
The Fourth World War is the war between the West and Islamofascism,
which began with the takeover of the American embassy in Tehran in
1979 but the west didn't wake up until 9/11/01.

911 was staged by lovers of money implementing monied fascism.
Monied fascism is political tool of lovers of money designed to create
and control a monied fascist, love of money, CULTure.
Love of money is the root for all evil -- 1 Timothy 6:10
"Fascism always wraps itself in the flag, always seeks absolute power,
always brands opponents as traitors, always relies heavily on propaganda
for dissemination of its ideas, always invokes subversive enemies (at
home and abroad), always embraces militarism and permanent war, always
favors politicizing of police functions (and expanding them and the
surveillance state), always scorns intellectuals, artists, and bourgeois
democratic values, always is hostile to leftist and labor movements, and
is obsessed with idealized images of a mythic "better time" of the past
(while at the same time destroying that past, and the nation as a whole)."
You have been spoon fed monied propoganda. Monied propoganda is the
monied art of the monied lie.
"All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be
adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed
to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the
lower its purely intellectual level will have to be. But if, as in
propaganda for sticking out a war, the aim is to influence a whole
people, we must avoid excessive intellectual demands on our public, and
too much caution cannot be exerted in this direction."
Why not choose instead to abolish the power of money and live free and
prosper?
How?
Choose freedom FROM the power of monied lies.
hope this helps
pass it on

You are being too literal. I meant only that you pull his strings. Why is that?
