Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords returned to the House floor on the 15th anniversary of the assassination attempt that ended her political career

PHOENIX -- Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords returned to the House floor Thursday on the 15th anniversary of the assassination attempt that cut short her promising political career and shocked a nation that has only seen political violence worsen in the years since.

Giffords held hands with her husband, Sen. Mark Kelly, as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries lauded her congressional service and her advocacy for tougher gun control measures. She received a standing ovation from a few dozen lawmakers in the chamber, most of them fellow Democrats.

“House Democrats stand with Gabby and with all Americans who say ‘enough is enough,’” said Jeffries, who pledged that Democrats would prioritize gun control legislation if they win the House majority in November's midterm elections.

Giffords was shot in the head on Jan. 8, 2011, while meeting with constituents at a grocery store in Tucson, Arizona. Six were killed and 12 injured in addition to Giffords, who was left with limited motion on one side and aphasia, a verbal disability.

No coherent motive has been established for the shooter, Jared Loughner, who had schizophrenia and shared a variety of disjointed, nonsensical conspiracies in his online posts. He was sentenced to life in prison after being forcibly medicated to make him competent to stand trial.

The targeting of a political event foreshadowed the rising tide of violence that has shadowed American democracy. There was the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, two attempts on Donald Trump's life, and the killing last June of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband.

More recently, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated while talking to college students.

Giffords left Congress after the shooting to focus on her recovery, cutting short a political career that many in Arizona believe would have included a run for governor or U.S. Senate.

She went on to create, along with Kelly, a political group—now known as GIFFORDS—that lobbies for tougher gun laws and works to elect state and federal lawmakers who will support them.

Kelly was elected to the Senate in 2020 and was a finalist to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in the 2024 presidential election.

Gabrielle Dee Giffords (born June 8, 1970) is an American retired politician and gun violence prevention advocate. She served as a member of the United States House of Representatives representing Arizona's 8th congressional district from January 2007 until January 2012, when she resigned due to a severe brain injury suffered during an assassination attempt. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the third woman in Arizona's history to be elected to the U.S. Congress.

Müllerian duct development, fertility problems, ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, premature births and cancers, especially clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) of the vagina and cervix in girls and young women [21]. In ‘DES sons’, epididymal cysts, hypospadias, cryptorchidism, hypoplastic testes and micropenises have been observed [22,23,24,25,26]. In addition, although less studied, in utero exposure to synthetic sex hormones, particularly DES, can cause psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, eating disorders and suicidal behavior [27]. Interestingly, some studies in patients exposed in utero to DES with psychotic disorders identified methylome changes that affect the expression of ZFP57 and ADAMTS9, two genes implicated in neurodevelopment regulation [28], with potential multigenerational and transgenerational effects [29,30].

In this work, we first describe four transgender women identified among the 253 sons exposed in utero to DES included in the HHORAGES-France cohort (a French National patient association). This high prevalence of male-to-female transgender individuals among DES sons (1.58%) strongly suggests that exposure of male fetuses to this xenoestrogen during fetal life may affect future male sex identity and behavior.

2. Patients and Methods

This study was based on a French national retrospective cohort of DES-treated women (HHORAGES-France Association) (n = 1200) and their families. Detailed standard questionnaires were obtained from all DES mothers when they joined the HHORAGES-France Association and all DES children were already adults at this time. The answers to this online questionnaire were used to select women who met the following inclusion criteria: (1) at least two pregnancies with two viable male babies (same father) among whom the first child was not exposed in utero to DES (pre-DES), followed by one or more children with fetal exposure to DES (DES); (2) confirmed data on the total DES dose (health record or physician’s observation). The cumulative dose D administered to the French pregnant mothers was 4050 mg < D < 7300 mg. This is considered a medium-low-dose cohort, in accordance with the observations by Tournaire et al. [31] and compared with the higher doses administered in the United States (7550 mg < D < 12,742 mg). The answers to the questionnaires were also used to identify women with a DES son who presented female gender variance. We then contacted all DES sons with female gender variance and we carried out an individual interview with them.

The local university hospital ethics committee approved this study (ID IRB No. 202301531), and all patients gave their informed consent through the HHORAGES-France Association (CNIL: J B/EM/DC042793, N° 1006460).

All DES sons who identified as transgender women underwent karyotyping at their local hospital at the moment of transition.

Thomas Trace Beatie (born 1974[1]) is an American public speaker, author, and advocate of transgender rights and sexuality issues, with a focus on transgender fertility and reproductive rights.[2]

Beatie came out as a trans man in early 1997. Beatie had gender-affirming surgery in March 2002 and became known as "the pregnant man" after he became pregnant through artificial insemination in 2007.[3] Beatie chose to be pregnant, with donated sperm,[4][5] because his wife Nancy was sterile.

The couple filed for divorce in 2012. The Beatie case is the first of its kind on record, where a documented legal male gave birth within a marriage to a woman, and for the first time, a court challenged a marriage where the husband gave birth.

Tracing boards are painted or printed illustrations depicting the various emblems and symbols of Freemasonry. They can be used as teaching aids during the lectures that follow each of the Masonic Degrees, when an experienced member explains the various concepts of Freemasonry to new members. They can also be used by experienced members as reminders of the concepts they learned as they went through the ceremonies of the different masonic degrees.[1]

Dame Sarah Elisabeth Mullally (née Bowser; born 26 March 1962) is an English Anglican prelate and former nurse. She has been the bishop of London since 2018, and is the first woman to hold this office. By virtue of her office she is also a Lord Spiritual, one of the 26 Church of England bishops who sit in the House of Lords of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. On 3 October 2025, it was announced that Mullally would become the 106th archbishop of Canterbury in January 2026; she will be the first woman to hold the office.

In Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and other Abrahamic religions Gabriel (/ˈɡeɪbriəl/ GAY-bree-əl)[N 2] is an archangel with the power to announce God's will to humankind as the messenger of God. He is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran.

In the Book of Daniel, Gabriel appears to the prophet Daniel to explain his visions.[3] Gabriel also appears in the Jewish apocryphal First Book of Enoch (e.g., 1 Enoch 20:7–8) and other ancient Hebrew writings incompletely preserved or wholly lost in Hebrew.[4] Alongside the archangel Michael, Gabriel is described as the guardian angel of the Israelites, defending them against the angels of the other peoples.[5][6]

In the New Testament's Gospel of Luke, Gabriel appears to Zechariah foretelling the birth of John the Baptist. Gabriel later appears to Mary, mother of Jesus to announce that she would conceive and bear a son (i.e., Jesus) via virgin birth. Many branches of Christianity—including Eastern Orthodoxy, the Catholic Church, Lutheranism, and Anglicanism—revere Gabriel as a saint.

Islam regards Gabriel as an archangel sent by God to various prophets, including Muhammad. The first five verses of the Al-Alaq, the 96th chapter of the Quran, are believed by Muslims to have been the first verses of the revelations given by Gabriel to Muhammad. He is associated with communication about anything about God.

Etymology

The name Gabriel (Hebrew: גַּבְרִיאֵל, Gaḇrīʾēl) is composed of the first person singular possessive form of the Hebrew noun gever (גֶּבֶר), meaning "man",[7] and ʾĒl, meaning "God" or "mighty one".[8] This would translate the archangel's name as "man of God". Proclus of Constantinople, in his Homily 1, stated that the meaning of Gabriel's name prefigured that Jesus, whose birth was announced by Gabriel, would be both man and God.[9]

In his work, the four homilies on the Missus Est", Saint Bernard (1090–1153 AD) interpreted Gabriel's name as "the strength of God", and his symbolic function in the gospel story as announcement of the strength or virtue of Christ, both as the strength of God incarnate and as the strength given by God to the timorous people who would bring into the world a fearful and troublesome event. "Therefore it was an opportune choice that designated Gabriel for the work he had to accomplish, or rather, because he was to accomplish it therefore he was called Gabriel."[10]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel

PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION

Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save his soul. And the other things on the face of the earth are created for man and that they may help him in prosecuting the end for which he is created. From this it follows that man is to use them as much as they help him on to his end, and ought to rid himself of them so far as they hinder him as to it. For this it is necessary to make ourselves indifferent to all created things in all that is allowed to the choice of our free will and is not prohibited to it; so that, on our part, we want not health rather than sickness, riches rather than poverty, honor rather than dishonor, long rather than short life, and so in all the rest; desiring and choosing only what is most conducive for us to the end for which we are created.

PARTICULAR AND DAILY EXAMEN

It contains in it three times, and two to examine oneself. The first time is in the morning, immediately on rising, when one ought to propose to guard himself with diligence against that particular sin or defect which he wants to correct and amend. The second time is after dinner, when one is to ask of God our Lord what one wants, namely, grace to remember how many times he has fallen into that particular sin or defect, and to amend himself in the future. Then let him make the first Examen, asking account of his soul of that particular thing proposed, which he wants to correct and amend. Let him go over hour by hour, or period by period, commencing at the hour he rose, and continuing up to the hour and instant of the present examen, and let him make in the first line of the G------- as many dots as were the times he has fallen into that particular sin or defect. Then let him resolve anew to amend himself up to the second Examen which he will make. The third time: After supper, the second Examen will be made, in the same way, hour by hour, commencing at the first Examen and continuing up to the present (second) one, and let him make in the second line of the same G------- as many dots as were the times he has fallen into that particular sin or defect. FOUR ADDITIONS FOLLOW TO RID ONESELF SOONER OF THAT PARTICULAR SIN OR DEFECT First Addition. The first Addition is that each time one falls into that particular sin or defect, let him put his hand on his breast, grieving for having fallen: which can be done even in the presence of many, without their perceiving what he is doing. Second Addition. The second: As the first line of the G------- means the first Examen, and the second line the second Examen, let him look at night if there is amendment from the first line to the second, that is, from the first Examen to the second. Third Addition. The third: To compare the second day with the first; that is, the two Examens of the present day with the other two Examens of the previous day, and see if he has amended himself from one day to the other. Fourth Addition. The fourth Addition: To compare one week with another, and see if he has amended himself in the present week over the week past. Note. It is to be noted that the first (large) G------- which follows means the Sunday: the second (smaller), the Monday: the third, the Tuesday, and so on.

'Hope. Hope. Hope.' How Gabby Giffords keeps fighting for change.

January 12, 20264:23 PM ET

Heard on All Things Considered

By Elena Burnett, Juana Summers, Courtney Dorning

NPR's Juana Summers speaks with former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and Giffords Executive Director Emma Brown about their efforts to stop gun violence.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:

This month marks 15 years since everything changed for then Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. That was when a gunman opened fire at a constituent event she was holding in her district. Nineteen people were shot, including Giffords. Six people were killed. The gunman shot Giffords in the head at point-blank range. Trauma surgeon Peter Rhee explained the seriousness of Gifford's injury two days after.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

PETER RHEE: It wasn't a little grazing wound through the brain. This was a devastating wound that traveled the entire length of the brain on the left side.

SUMMERS: The shooting left Giffords with a traumatic brain injury that affects her speech and left her paralyzed on one side.

GABRIELLE GIFFORDS: What, what, what and chicken, chicken, chicken.

EMMA BROWN: Those were the only two words that she could say.

SUMMERS: What and chicken.

BROWN: Yeah. No one knows why, but those were the two words that she had when she first woke up, and she had to rebuild her whole language and vocabulary from there, and her recovery is an ongoing fight.

SUMMERS: That is Emma Brown, the executive director of GIFFORDS, the gun violence prevention organization the former congresswoman established after the attack. The women work together to reduce the rate of gun violence in the United States.

GIFFORDS: I'm so busy - a lot of Zoom calls, work, work, work, yoga twice a week, French horn, Spanish lessons, biking, the gym, pool therapy. And I'm traveling a lot - 60% on the road.

BROWN: Yeah. I can barely keep up with her - 60% travel. So Gabby was shot 15 years ago, and, you know, when she was first shot, she was in a coma, and she was in the hospital for many months.

SUMMERS: Giffords and Brown stopped by NPR's studios last week to reflect on the 15th anniversary of the shooting and the life of advocacy Giffords has built since then. Because of Gifford's aphasia, we agreed to ask questions in a specific way in order to maximize her ability to answer. And then when needed, following up and asking additional questions of her own. And sometimes, over the course of our 20-minute interview, the questions I asked needed clarification. Like, when I asked Giffords if she views this moment in our country as more dangerous than 15 years ago when she was shot.

BROWN: So she's asking about if today the world is more dangerous...

GIFFORDS: Yeah.

BROWN: ...Than it was...

GIFFORDS: Yeah. Yeah.

BROWN: ...In 2011.

GIFFORDS: Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

BROWN: And I think...

GIFFORDS: (Laughter).

BROWN: ...We do think it's more dangerous, right? We know that.

GIFFORDS: Dividing the country. Dividing the country. It's hard.

BROWN: Yeah.

SUMMERS: Giffords offered a simple solution for addressing the division and the rhetoric that flows from that.

GIFFORDS: Hope, hope, hope.

BROWN: Yeah.

GIFFORDS: A lot of hope.

BROWN: Yeah. Yeah. You know, when we think about political violence and what causes political violence, there's a lot of attention on the rhetoric, and that's important, you know? Polarized rhetoric, leaders who inflame divisions instead of tamp them down, all of that contributes to an environment where you see the kind of political violence that we're seeing right now. But I think we really believe that political violence comes at the intersection of two things - the intensified rhetoric, heated rhetoric and easy access to guns.

SUMMERS: But there's nothing simple about the strategy that Giffords and Brown use to try to affect real change when it comes to gun laws.

GIFFORDS: Mississippi, no bueno. California, A's.

BROWN: Gabby's making the point that, you know, when we look at states, individual states, it is the case that states with stronger gun laws have far fewer people dying in them, have far fewer school shootings, less neighborhood violence. You're contrasting Mississippi and Alabama, which have some of the weakest gun laws in the country, with states like California and New York, which have some of the strongest. And, of course, you know, we still see major incidents of violence in California and New York because we have really weak federal laws.

SUMMERS: Gifford's organization has been focused on changing gun laws at the state level. Brown explained what the group views as its successes.

BROWN: It is not the case that we don't know what the solutions are to this issue, right? We know what the solutions are. We know that they work. In California, we passed one of the first red flag laws in the country's history, and you have to look at that and look at the data and know that there are lives being saved.

GIFFORDS: We can't wait for Congress to act. We will win in the states and hold the gun industry accountable.

SUMMERS: But despite Gifford's intense commitment to change and the work her organization does day in, day out, gun violence remains a persistent and deadly problem. It made me wonder. Does she ever lose faith?

Do you ever want to give up?

GIFFORDS: No way, Jose. Move ahead, to not look back. I hope others are inspired to keep moving forward, no matter what.

SUMMERS: That was former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, along with Emma Brown, executive director of GIFFORDS.

14WE ought to act on the principle that everyone who lives under obedience should let himself be carried and directed by Divine Providence through the agency of the superior 15as if he were a lifeless body, which allows itself to be carried to any place and treated in any way; or an old man s staff, which serves at any place and for any purpose in which the one holding it in his hand wishes to employ it. 16For in this way the obedient man ought joyfully to employ himself in any task in which the superior desires to employ him in aid of the whole body of the religious order; 17and he ought to hold it certain that by so doing he conforms himself with the divine will more than by anything else he could do while following his own will and different judgment.[3]

Pérez is a very common Castilian Spanish surname of patronymic origin.

Origins

The surname, written in Spanish orthography as Pérez, is a patronymic surname meaning "son of Pedro" ("Pero" in archaic Spanish), the Spanish equivalent of Peter. At the same time, the name Pedro derives from the Latin name Petrus,[1] meaning "rock or stone".[2] Among many other counterparts, some of its equivalents are Peres or Pires in Portuguese, Peris in Catalan, Peters in German, Petrović in Serbo-Croatian, Petrescu in Romanian and Peterson in English and Scandinavian languages.

Not long thereafter the attempted assassination of John Paul II by Mehmet Ali, May 1981, the Jesuit General Pedro Arrupe" made this marvellous admission: "The Company is feared everywhere.... The people say, "These Jesuits are wily! And so powerful!****

Returning to the suppression. For all its "comprehensive" and bold declarations, Pope Clement's decree of 1773 proved only partially successful and palpably shortlived. After Clement's suspicious and untimely death, Cardinal Braschi was elected Pope Pius VI, on February 15, 1775. The successor to the unfortunate Clement XIV was no less in fear of the Jesuits. A former pupil of the Society of Jesus, he knew their wrath. Almost immediately he sought to secure the release of Fr. Ricci, the Jesuit General, and his assistants from the prison in Castel San Angelo. But Charles III. King of Spain, insisted on their detention. Moreover, the Jesuits were never suppressed in Russia or Germany. Pius VI, seeing the fate of his predecessors, colluded with Frederick II of Prussia to "saving the Jesuits." On March 12, 1783. Pius VI "approved" the maintenance of the Jesuits in Russia.

The Visions and Circles of Power

by Betty J. Mills

My name is Betty J. Mills . It is January 1991. The title of this tape is The Vision and Circles of Power. This tape is undoubtedly the most difficult tape I have ever made and some of you may say it is also the most unbelievable. First, let me say, as I have said in my tape and booklets, when I discuss the Catholic Church, the Vatican, the Pope and the all-Catholic SMOM (Sovereign Military Order of Malta). I am not condemning Catholics and their faith. The Catholics' faith is their business. I only enter when it is political and a threat to the freedom of my grandchildren and all other children - and also when it is a threat to the restoration of the sovereignty of the United States of America and its Constitutional Republic.

Also, when I discuss the world policy makers or President George Bush [Sr.] and his administration and the war in the Gulf, I am in no way in opposition to our service men and service women. I honor and respect them. However, I am not behind the policy of president George Bush and his administration. I am not behind their policy which is the policy of the World Policymakers, whose dream was - and is - the New World Order.... and the war in the Gulf is a vitally important part of this plan.

Here is a question as part of a scenario. What would you believe or think?... what would you say and what would you do if ?... tomorrow your children came into the house screaming, "Mommy! Daddy! Come look at the sky!" You run outside and looking up at the sky you see a VISION. THE VISION could be the Virgin Mary. It could be Christ. It could be both or it could be some other [religious figure]. At this time you also hear a voice telling you that you will be receiving a message and that you must carry out the instructions you are given. Then other members of the family come out of the house and they inform you that they have seen the same VISION on television. You listen to the radio and you hear the message about THE VISION and other instructions that you are to follow. You try to call relatives and friends but you find that the phone lines are busy. Perhaps a recording will be giving some information. You learn from television and radio that THE VISION is being seen all over the world and the messages are being heard in the language of their country or area

The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West

Now... let us return to the present and reality. It will lead us to a book written by Malachi Martin considered by many as the voice for Pope John Paul II. As I discuss Malachi Martin's book, it will lead us back to THE VISION. From August the 2nd, 1990 until the present ... January 1991 - it is less than a six-month period of time, but it certainly is a most historical time. During this short period of time, president George Bush implemented a vital part of the U.S. State Department plan 7277.

This is one of the final steps leading into the New World Order. President George Bush accomplished this when he placed the U.S. military into an International Military Force under the United Nations. We have nearly one-half million service men and women over in the sand, and they are functioning under United Nations' resolutions. President George Bush then announced the NEW WORLD ORDER. Following this came a startling book by Malachi Martin entitled Keys of This Blood. The jacket of this book tells us what the book is about. It says it is the "struggle for world dominion between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev and the Capitalist West". I challenge that statement and will detail it later.

Simon & Schuster, the publishers of this book, call it "explosive" - and indeed it is. If the book had been written by just somebody, it would not have meant too much. However, the author of this book is Malachi Martin who is an eminent theologian and expert on the Catholic Church. He is a former Jesuit and a former professor at the Vatican Pontifical Biblical Institute. He served in Rome from 1958 to 1964.... and one thing to remember is that Malachi Martin made it very clear that Pope John Paul II has offered no objection to what he, Malachi Martin, has written. This fact certainly makes the book, Keys of This Blood "explosive" - as it was called by its publishers.

Following are my remarks and highlights of the book review of Simon & Schuster. If there is any doubt as to the New World Order meaning a One World Government, I would say that Malachi Martin's book and the book review verify the statement that the New World Order and a One World Government are one and the same. The book review states that before the end of the 1990's we will see the first One World Government that has ever existed in the society of nations. The Simon & Schuster book review shows that Malachi Martin's statements are startling and that he, Malachi Martin - for the first time - reveals the ongoing plans and policies of a reigning pope who is of course, at this time, Pope John Paul II. Malachi Martin exposes coveted Vatican intelligence data concerning the competition among these three major powers - as stated... the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev, the Capitalist West and Pope John Paul II with his world-wide Roman Catholic church. It is with the intent to set up and maintain the New World Order which Pope John Paul II expects to be in place before the end of the 1990's

"...Pope John Paul II as the Servant of Heaven's Grand Design"

Malachi Martin says the battle between the pope, Mikhail Gorbachev and the Capitalist West will be a "winner-take-all" battle. He says that it:

"will end in a global government being a New Economic and Political World Order that is so vast that it will have to be presided over by a super bureaucracy superior to all individual nations".

We must surely understand from those statements that this would mean the absolute end of any attempt of restoring the sovereignty of the United States of America and its Constitutional Republic with its freedom and independence - a freedom never before enjoyed by any country. Malachi Martin says that, outside of his rivals, few people see Pope John Paul II as he sees himself. He said that the Pope sees himself as a contender with the power and the determination to establish and maintain the New World Order. Malachi Martin says that Mikhail Gorbachev and the Capitalist West do not have what it takes to make them the winners. Malachi Martin says:

"the world at large must reckon with Pope John Paul II as the servant of Heaven's Grand Design."

I would say that sounds very "New Age". And... throughout the book Malachi Martin makes it a point to tell us that Pope John Paul II is a slave to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Also, after Pope John Paul II was shot he said he had a personal communication from heaven. After this communication from heaven, Pope John Paul II concluded that the Fatima message linked with his One World Government plans. I would agree with that statement. In fact, that is what I feared and wrote about five years ago. Malachi Martin says the other two contenders feel that their present moves are in the last stages on the road to a New World Order which is already in view. AND... he said that Pope John Paul II is waiting for an event that will separate human history and that the event is THE VISION. I believe he is absolutely correct in his thinking, although I do not believe that "the vision" comes from whence Malachi Martin says.

The Message of Fatima

At the time the people view THE VISION in the sky it is very possible that they will receive the third message of Fatima. For those of you who are not familiar with this third message of Fatima, I will give just a small sketch of the story. Space does not allow the telling of the story in detail. I would suggest that any who are not familiar with the story of Fatima... get the booklet and read the story. It should be available in most Catholic book stores.The third message of Fatima could well be one of the most important messages ever heard by the people on this earth because it can be used by the world policymakers to their advantage in implementing the New World Order. It was nearly five years ago that I became very concerned about the third message of Fatima being used by the world policy-makers. I wrote a bit on it. Yes... with the Pope being totally committed to the Virgin Mary (who is the lady of Fatima), with the Pope being the powerful religious partner of the world policy-makers and with the third message - being what the world policy-makers want it to be - the third message of Fatima could be absolutely overwhelming in their New World Order plan.

I labeled the Pope as a partner of the other two that Malachi Martin calls "adversaries" of the Pope. The Capitalist West, Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union and the Pope may be one another's adversaries at times. In a sense, while they may be adverse to one another at times, they are also at times one and the same. Now I will go back to the story of the Lady of Fatima. Fatima is a village in the center of the country of Portugal. It was near Fatima that three children saw "an angel" and later said they saw the blessed mother - the Virgin Mary. She gave them messages. Two of the messages were published. During this period of time when she was appearing before the children it was said that thousands of people viewed the sun zig-zagging in the sky. The one child, Lucia, grew to adulthood and became a nun. Lucia scribed a third message from the Virgin Mary which was eventually given to the Pope. It was to be revealed in 1960. It has not yet been revealed

When the Vision appears the Pope..."will control the Will and minds of men"

I believe now as I did before - that this message will be used by the world policymakers in helping to implement their New World Order and that the message will be what they want it to be. Remember, this could be a powerful tool in bringing about their New World Order plan. Malachi Martin tells us that a VISION will appear and at that time the Pope's authority must be accepted and that "he will control the will and minds of men". If THE VISION and the third message of Fatima are used together it will be a most powerful means for the Pope's implementation of the New World Order along with the world policymakers. These statements are in no way intended to desecrate or defile the Virgin Mary. Our concern in this respect has been that the world policymakers will use her to further their global plan.

Malachi Martin says that the Pope will be on one of his trips when the VISION appears. I would advise that everyone take the third message of Fatima and the VISION - very seriously. I truly believe that the world policymakers will decide what the message will be... and, that they'll also contrive the VISION by using the advanced science, technology and holography which is available today. As I have said, this is in no way a reflection on the dedicated people who have worked diligently on the space program and in our science and technology. Also, keep in mind the irony of the fact that the Pope was supposedly in opposition to Communism. The Capitalist West was also supposedly in opposition to Communism. Yet, one of the key members of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) - William Casey - who is totally committed to the Pope and who is also part of the Capitalist West, helped build Communist Russia into a mighty military complex. That is just one example of the Circles of Power being partly one-and-the-same. Also, there's the Vatican-Moscow Agreement which shows that at all times they could not have been totally adverse to Communism. The United States is of course a great power of the Capitalist West. If the United States Capitalist West is an adversary of the Pope why, then, did the U.S. develop an ambassadorship with the Vatican? And... why have they always filled the post with a member of the Knights of Malta (Sovereign Military Order of Malta) who is totally committed to the Pope? Consider the Knights of Malta (SMOM) members who are tied to the "New Right" Leadership, who in turn have numerous organizations, the membership of which is made up of people who should be opposing the New World Order. To every true American I say...

"There is a web being woven about us from which we can never escape unless we demand a return to our Sovereignty and Constitutional Republic."

Consider what a power structure Malachi Martin is promulgating. He is speaking to audiences which are said to be mostly Catholic. His speeches about the Pope taking control is applauded by these audiences. It is frightening when people applaud the loss of U.S. sovereignty while we send a half-million American service men and women to possibly die to "restore" sovereignty to Kuwait... which has never been sovereign.

The Papal Plan

Now... we will go to the scenario in the back of the book by Malachi Martin. Malachi Martin tells of the organizations which the Pope will approve when he takes control with his New World Order. One of the groups is Opus Dei - a powerful Catholic group. Another - Malachi Martin says - is a group which exists on a world-wide basis and has remained in total secret. Malachi Martin does not tell us the name of this group. Malachi Martin also, when discussing the Pope's plan, notes the Knights of Malta (SMOM) as playing an important and impressive role. At this point Malachi Martin calls it the "Papal Plan". Again, I say, remember... take this VISION seriously because this Pope would surely never allow his reputation to be placed in a position like this except that he knows this VISION is to take place. And also remember... with our science, technology, space program and advanced holography it is possible to create a VISION in the sky which every person in this world would be able to see.

U.S. State Department Plan - 7277

I would hope you would not believe THE VISION is of God. I myself definitely believe it will be of man. For those who might say that in the end times a VISION may well appear, please note that Malachi Martin does not associate this with the end times. He describes this VISION to appear in a time of peace prior to the end time. Also, two other important points to remember. Please take note... for the New World Order to be set in cement it is necessary to totally eliminate the sovereignty of the United States of America with its Constitutional Republic and block our efforts to regain the vast part which we have already lost. And.. as previously stated, the U.S. State Department 7277 plan must be completed with its International Military Force. Also, for the New World Order to be complete it is necessary to make sure that any part of the world with its own strong religion, strong culture, or strong economic stability is convinced of the overwhelming, invincible power of the International Military Force. Through the war in the Gulf I am sure the middle east and other countries have been convinced. That leaves the second part of 7277 to be implemented - that part being the transfer of all arms of all nations and all individuals into the U.N. International Military Force. Yes... 7277 is the plan for General and Complete Disarmament, meaning disarming all nations and transferring all arms to the International Military Force. Pope John Paul II sanctioned the Five-Continent Initiative. Much of its leadership was New Age. A key issue of this initiative was "general and complete disarmament". Those were the very words of the 7277 plan. You may ask, "Am I implying that this is an all-Catholic planned takeover?" No. I am not. As we show in our Colonel North, William Casey, and the Knights of Malta booklet... it is more than that. The world policymakers who intend to rule this world are made up of the billionaire cartel of banking, business, industry, oil, agriculture, minerals, gems and all else. The world policymakers are made up of Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Humanists, Atheists and others. The world policymakers were wise enough to know they needed a religious head with great charisma. You see, there is no political power that is all powerful without the connection of religion. These world policymakers have strived for years to build their New World Order - One World Government and they have used the United Nations since its inception as a powerful international tool. The U.S. State Department plan 7277 was their dream for an International Military Force, and the second part of the 7277 plan is an extremely important part. We question, "When will president Bush or another implementor drop the other shoe and implement the second part?" That is the total disarmament of every nation and every individual by the means of transfer of all arms to an International Military Force. Former Congressman, John Ashbrook, of Ohio warned of 7277 in no uncertain terms. He warned us of the deadly internationalists with their New World Order plans. He warned us of Global Perspectives in Education, Incorporated. It was amazing the things that this man saw that we had to know were going to take us into the New World Order. But, we had to face Congressman Ashbrook’s untimely death. His death was viewed with suspicion by many. His voice was the kind that many members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate could not tolerate... and indeed the world policymakers could not tolerate John Ashbrook.

Circles of Power = World Policymakers

Who are the world policymakers? They are the Circles of Power which Malachi Martin talks about in his book, Keys of This Blood... and far more than that. We know they include the Rockefellers, Rothschilds and other powerful groups – the Bilderbergers, the Bohemian Club, Club of Rome and the Order of Skull and Bones at Yale University. These groups are in turn interconnected with the Council on Foreign Relations, the Committee on Economic Development and the Trilateral Commission. The powerful Sovereign Military Order of Malta also comes into play as a very important part in all of it. Within the Knights of Malta (SMOM) there is Louis Lehrman who was formerly Jewish, Bowie Kuhn, William Buckley, Alexander Haig, J.Peter Grace... and thousands more. This network is massive and it all interconnects. The world policy-makers needed the right man as an implementor. What better man than President George Bush, a member of the Order of Skull and Bones? They needed a powerful religious head with great charisma to make the New World Order a powerful Order. Pope John Paul II is the powerful religious head who can make their political power - all-powerful. In March of 1988 I wrote a paper, The Conservative Interlock - As I See It. After years of research, and finding no one indicating otherwise, I have reached the following conclusions. Those listed below are part of the powerful conservative right leadership: Pope John Paul II, the Vatican, the Knights of Malta (SMOM), president Ronald Reagan and the "New Right" Leadership [Phony Conservatives; Controlled Opposition]. The New Right leadership includes Paul Weyrich [Jesuit-trained], Phyllis Schlafly [Dame of Malta-female counterpart to SMOM], Richard Viguerie, Louis Lehrman [Zionist Jew?], Jerry Falwell [Judeo-Christian] and numerous others including powerful Protestant clergy. This entire conservative right leadership from Pope John Paul II down to the New Right leadership and their associates - both Catholic and Protestant - must be fully understood or... As I see it, what is remaining of our Republic, our sovereignty and our freedom in the United States of America will be lost forever - as well as any hope for the rest of the world. A vast amount of money is given to various people within this powerful conservative and New Right Leadership. Contributors include those in large corporations and companies. They are also aided by tax-exempt foundations. Membership dues and contributions undoubtedly make up a considerable sum. Many people were amazed to find that some of the powerful conservative and New Right Leadership are funded by the United States Government - our tax dollars [i.e., Phyllis Schlafly]

Conservative Right Leadership

The key element that must be understood about the Conservative Right Leadership is the fact that the Conservative Right Leadership functions as internationalists and socialists. There are many organizations which were always considered those that we should be opposing and we found the New Right Leadership functioning right along with them. Frightening? Indeed it is. Who would ever have believed it? ==Liberals and Conservatives promoting the same One World Government actions for the New World Order. Conservatives and New Agers working together. Conservatives and Reverend Moon joining together. The world policymakers must be stunned at how well their plans have worked. The top leadership of the internationalist socialists are part of the world policymakers. Yes, they are the billionaire cartel of business, banking, etc., plus religion... and they do heavily influence nearly every government in the world. Keep in mind the Revolutionary War has never really ended. We fought to be free of tyranny under a king and we insisted on living in freedom under a government of we, the people. One group of people came to America to enjoy political and religious freedom and insisted that others should enjoy the same. But note... there was another group that came to America. They came to impose their political and religious beliefs on everyone. They were already world policymakers made up of the internationalist socialists and other European political and religious leaders. The Revolutionary War was thought to be ended, but the group who wanted to impose their religious and political beliefs on us all had a foreign allegiance and they were still here. They were well embedded in America. Now, generations later their off-spring continue in high places, working with European leaders and are still determined to impose their political and religious beliefs on us all. They are determined to abolish sovereign America and develop their own One World Government - New World Order with a One World Religion. Remember... religion makes it easier to control [the masses - people] and far more powerful. Then, following this, we were faced with further proof that the New Right leadership were functioning in a manner to silence all out-cry to the New World Order and that they were indeed functioning as internationalists and socialists. It was only a few months ago that a full page ad appeared in our local paper in Indiana. This paper has a vast readership. On a full page in large, bold letters it advertised a meeting concerning the New World Order to be held here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Fifteen years ago, in 1976, this bold statement on the New World Order would have had hundreds of people on their feet waiting to go to the meeting and being infuriated at the idea of the pursuit of the New World Order. But, it is now fifteen years later and there was barely a sound. One organization had their spokesman come to Fort Wayne and voice their objections. A very few from here, who cared, attended. How could it be that many of these things, including the New World Order could be met with near silence? The answer is tragic and simple. The answer is... it is because of the New Right Leadership. Fifteen years ago individuals who were considered dedicated Americans began to join the organizations of the New Right Leadership. It is amazing how the New Right Leadership has been able to take people under the umbrella of their organizations and somehow convince them to absolutely oppose nothing but what they – the New Right Leadership – tell them to oppose. It is a sad day. I would never have believed this could all happen in so short amount of time... and it has happened. The New Right Leadership and associates has millions of members and followers. They have had millions of dollars at their disposal. Why, then, do we continuously lose? Our justice system, our educational system - our entire government is a disaster. What is the New Right Leadership all about? I repeat my question from previous papers: "Are the New Right Leaders [alleged Christian-Conservatives] one-worlders or are they unqualified?" President George Bush was called all kinds of names a few years ago, but once the party accepted him the people fell silent and now today he is their king. Many religious leaders are totally behind him... not all, but many. Some of the very prominent are behind him all the way. President George Bush lied to the people, but it doesn't matter. Isn't that amazing? It just doesn't matter. Now, I wonder, how can we ever answer to the souls from those thousands and thousands of caskets from the previous terrible wars and those who will lose their lives in this one? How can we ever explain what all these caskets were about? How is it possible, as I have asked previously, that the sovereignty of Kuwait could be so important that we give away the sovereignty of our own nation by going into the International Military Force and declaring a New World Order? We have been given a lot of reasons for our being in Kuwait. I would like the administration to tell us what we're really there for. Remember, we are told that our State Department led Saddam to believe that we were not interested in the border dispute between Iraq and Kuwai

The Gadhafi Fiasco (often pronounced Kadhafi)

I cannot forget the Gadhafi fiasco that our State Department is still keeping hidden. Knight of Malta (SMOM), William Wilson, was chosen by President Ronald Reagan to be the first Ambassador to the Vatican. Our efforts, along with others, in opposing this Ambassadorship was totally ignored. William Wilson, the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican, made an unauthorized trip to Libya. He traveled to Libya and met privately with Libyan officials. Following Ambassador Wilson's visit, Gadhafi stated that an American diplomat had been sent to reduce tensions with Libya. The U.S. State Department said they were unaware of Ambassador William Wilson's trip to Libya and the State Department flatly denied Gadhafi's statement. To the embarrassment of the United States, it was then discovered that Gadhafi was telling the truth and that the U.S. Government was not and Ambassador Wilson would not affirm or deny anything of substance about this trip.

When this first happened columnist William Sapphire said that if this was true of Ambassador Wilson he had made a liar of the United States, a mockery of our stern pronouncements and had made the U.S. a laughing stock in the eyes of our allies. Bernard Kalb, Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs resigned as a result of this disinformation in relation to Ambassador Wilson's unauthorized trip to Libya. There is another important factor to consider about Gadhafi and Libya. President Ronald Reagan had called Gadhafi a mad dog and had made some very strong threats. The U.S. Government had been affirmative about bombing Libya and it resulted in killing civilians and at least one of our American pilots. Libya was considered so undesirable that we killed their civilians without any hesitation in the face of the possibility of losing our American servicemen's lives without any hesitation.

There was no outcry against five big oil companies filling their pockets while dealing with Gadhafi and while taking lives of civilians and our servicemen with absolutely no concern. Again, we find a company headed by a Knight of Malta (SMOM) involved. It is J. Peter Grace, president of W. R. Grace. Eight members of the W. R. Grace company are said to be members of the Knights of Malta (SMOM) who are beholden to the Pope. During this period of time, Secretary of State, George Schultz [Zionist Jew] and his wife attended mass with Pope John Paul II [World Christian Leader], and Ambassador Wilson [SMOM] and his wife stood next to them. At this time Secretary of State George Schultz acknowledged that Ambassador Wilson had met with Gadhafi's Libyan officials even though the Reagan Administration had a ban against travel by U.S. citizens to Libya and of having contact with its leaders. Surely Ambassador Wilson should have been fired. But... all we heard was Secretary of State George Schultz stating, "Obviously it's an embarrassment".

Apparently even the powerful George Schultz felt he could not challenge Knight of Malta (SMOM), William Wilson. But, of course, we must remember, George Schultz is a member of the CFR - Council on Foreign Relations, the Bohemian Club and the powerful Bechtel CorporationThe CFR and the Bohemian Club has ties with the Knights of Malta (SMOM) as well as with the Order of Skull and Bones of which president George Bush is a member. That is just a minute example of the interlock of individual organizations and corporations with the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Our booklet, Colonel North, William Casey and the Knights of Malta details this, but this is also only the tip of the iceberg. Our booklet also shows the Vatican-Moscow Agreement. As I have stated, the Circles of Power that Malachi Martin mentions are actually intertwined even though at times they may "appear" as adversaries.

The power of the Knights of Malta (SMOM), who are beholden to the Pope, became very clear to me when I spent months trying to get a bit of information on the unauthorized actions of Knight of Malta, Ambassador Wilson. The State Department just continued to stall us as the letter in our booklet on the Knights of Malta shows. The Pope's Knights of Malta (SMOM) appear to have near unlimited power. They can make history as it is proven by their influencing of U.S. domestic and foreign policy and this is also stated in a Catholic paper. They can also un-make history as our Knight of Malta booklet shows. In the 1930's Knight of Malta, John J. Raskob was involved in a plot to seize the White House. Major-General Butler exposed it after they had approached him to take part in their take-over plan. Congressional hearings were held. I have copies of the hearings. All of General Butler's testimony was accepted as truth, but Knight of Malta (SMOM), John J. Raskob, and other top people involved were never called to testify... and they were never brought to account. Just the same old story - just as with Knight of Malta Ambassador Wilson and the Libyan-Gadhafi affair and... just as with Knight of Malta William Casey and the Iran Contra affair. Check your history books. Check your library. We did. And we found no record of this plot to seize the White House.

This was certainly a very important historic event but it seems it went down the black hole. Sounds like George Orwell's 1984. We consider our tape and booklet entitled Colonel North, William Casey and the Knights of Malta serving as a forerunner to this paper which we call The Vision and Circles of Power. Going back to THE VISION we do again want to make it clear that we are in no way condemning our space program or our science, technology and holography. We just want people to stop and think about what the world policymakers may do with the accomplishments of these people in the space program and with science and technology such as we feel they will use in THE VISION.

We of course have been aware of the New World Order plans of the world policymakers but we were also stunned at the fast moves that have been made from August 2nd of 1990 to the present time, January of 1991. Just a five month period and yet enough happenings for many lifetimes. We've had the war in the Gulf; the implementation of the International Military Force; president George Bush announcing the New World Order; Malachi Martin's book announcing the New World Order - One World Government with Pope John Paul II in control; then continuing on with the mind-boggling event being THE VISION.... It is absolutely unbelievable

Pope John Paul II as Servant of the Grand Design

As I was reading Malachi Martin's book I told a friend that it was like everything we had researched and opposed was suddenly the absolute past and that we were stepping into a totally new era. How ironic that was because when I reached page 639 of Keys of this Blood, the words seemed to jump out at me... Malachi Martin was saying the very same thing. Malachi Martin told how THE VISION would be an absolute separation of the past and the immediate future. He further stated how all designs of all nations would be null and void. Think about that. And he said that God's design would be introduced at the time of THE VISION and that the Pope would then become THE SERVANT OF THE GRAND DESIGN and that would be when the Pope's ministry would begin. That is certainly New Age. Malachi Martin inferred that after THE VISION there would be an era of peace and he mentions throughout the book the importance of the time until the year 2000

World Policymaker, Member of Skull & Bones - President George HW Bush - Echos Malachi Martin's Words

I finished reading the incredible book by Malachi Martin and I then read the speech that President George Bush delivered at the 45th Session of the United Nations' General Assembly in New York City on October the first, 1990. It was amazing. Following are just certain statements he made during his speech. You may get a copy from your Congressman or Congresswoman: President George Bush said that the last two months of cooperation made him feel that he has never been more proud to serve in the ranks of the United Nations and that never had he been more proud that the United States is the host country for the United Nations. You know, some years ago – and this is my statement – there was an effort to get the United Nations out of the United States and the United States out of the United Nations. Supposedly that is what conservatives and strong Americans sought and wanted and now the United Nations is considered a great thing. I will go on with President Bush. He mentions "...pressing forward toward a New World Order and a long era of peace". One has to stop and think about who they are reading and listening to... Malachi Martin or president George Bush. President George Bush goes on to mention, "... the dream of the New International Order and the separate past from the whole new beginning". Again, he sounds just like Malachi Martin. Isn't it odd that all of this happened at the same time?... Malachi Martin's book, President George Bush's speeches?... It makes one wonder. But then... as we've said, the world policymakers have been working together for the very same thing for years. President George Bush then made a very disturbing statement in his speech to the United Nations when he said, "I see a world of open borders... open trade". He went on to say, "... a world that celebrates the common heritage that belongs to all the world's people, taking pride, not just in home-town or home-land but in humanity itself". More New Age. President George Bush was saying the very things that those today, who are standing behind him, had at one time vigorously opposed. Yes, fifteen years ago all of this would have been opposed by these conservatives - great pro-Americans - who are now part of the New Right and their organizations. President Bush said:

"The world must know and understand, from this hour, from this day, from this hall we step forth with a new sense of purpose, a new sense of possibilities. We stand together prepared to swim upstream, to march up hill, to tackle the tough challenges as they come."

And he made it clear that it wasn't as just our nation, which it should be, but he said, "...as nations of the world united. And so let it be said of the 20th Century, that this was a time when human kind came into its own". His New Age statements are certainly unbelievable.

"... when we emerged from the grit and the dust of the industrial age, to bring about a revolution of the spirit and the mind and began a journey into a new day, a new age and a new partnership of nations".

"The United Nations is now fulfilling its promise as the world's parliament of peace. I congratulate you, I support you. I wish you God's speed in the challenge ahead."

What About our American Sovereignty?

My questions are, Mr. President, "What about our sovereignty? What about our Constitutional Republic?" But no, President George Bush was too busy giving all honor to the United Nations. I repeat. Think about that. That again is my statement. We would hope that enough people will become informed about THE VISION so that most would not believe it is of God or hopefully enough could be exposed so that the world policymakers would not have it appear. But regardless of what happens we must have our people of America become informed. I will go back to Malachi Martin and his appearance before the audiences. It is very difficult to understand how all of these people - Americans - can be clapping and be so taken with Malachi Martin and what he is saying. Not only because of the fact of giving up our sovereignty and going into a World Government, but the fact that this Pope is a New Age Pope and the majority of these people, as I understand it, are traditional Catholics. I've worked with many Catholics who have studied and understand and they said they cannot reach their fellow Catholics. Somehow or another they have been totally taken by all of this and... As I see it, Malachi Martin and George Bush are both leading the sheep into the deadly jaws of the wolves in sheep's clothing.

Auguste Comte

I refer here to a booklet that I read by Erica Carle where she tells about August Comte who was a philosopher with a master plan who wanted to direct the spiritual reorganization of the civilized world. Now let us place ourselves at beginning in 1820. This master planner, Auguste Comte was 22 years old at that time and he had already set his goal. He wanted nothing less than to reconstruct the entire religious, moral, scientific and political structure of the world. He believed his goal to be so worthy that he dedicated his entire adult intellectual life to outlining his plan. His name was not God, it was August Comte and August Comte said that in his plans you divided people into two basic types - those who did not believe in God and those who did believe. Those who did not believe in God, he decided, would become immediate followers of the religion of humanity. [New Age, humanism].

Those who did believe in God would be subjected to a long period of training and change. As generations pass, both Christian and non-Christian religions could be brought closer and closer together until eventually all believers in God would be willing to become Catholic in a Catholic church which had been taken over by Comte ideology. There would then be only Catholics and humanitarians and these two major religions, now almost alike, would eventually emerge into one great, world-wide, sociologically controlled religion of humanity. I would say, it has near happened. May God help us regain and retain our American sovereignty and our Constitutional Republic.

How can we give such precious things away when so many of our service men and women have died to save them? I have watched the Protestants go the same New Age road as the Catholics, but when I saw the conservative Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod being impressed with Jean Houston, a follower of Teilhard de Chardon, the Catholic humanist priest; and then hear Catholics applaud New Age Pope John Paul II, who honored Teilhard de Chardon, the humanist priest... there wasn't much left to say except.... "Welcome to the New Age - New World Order". Betty J. Mills

Karl Marx[a] (German: [ˈkaʁl ˈmaʁks]; 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German philosopher, social and political theorist, economist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. He is best-known for the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto (written with Friedrich Engels), and his three-volume Das Kapital (1867–1894), a critique of classical political economy which employs his theory of historical materialism in an analysis of capitalism, in the culmination of his life's work. Marx's ideas and their subsequent development, collectively known as Marxism, have had enormous influence.

MAR ():

By: Solomon Schechter, Wilhelm Bacher

Aramaic noun meaning "lord." Daniel addresses the king as "Mari" (= "my lord"; Dan. iv. 16 [A. V. 19]; comp. Hebr. "Adoni," used in speaking to the king). In the Palestinian schools "Mari" and "Rabbi" were customarily employed in addressing the sages. It is said of King Jehoshaphat that on seeing a scholar he rose from his throne, and saluted him with the words, "Abi, abi; rabbi, rabbi; mari, mari" (Ket. 103b; Mak. 24a). Jesus was addressed by his disciples both as "Mari" and as "Rabbi" (comp. Dalman, "Die Worte Jesu," i. 269 et seq.). In conversation, "Mari" was used as a respectful form of address in Palestine (comp. Yer. Pes. 21b, lines 48-49: ); "Mar," in Babylonia (comp. Yoma 20b: ). In the latter country "Mar" became also a title preceding the name, and it was sometimes customary to call scholars "Mar" and not "Rab," particularly in the case of the two great contemporaries of Rab (Abba Arika)—Mar Samuel and Mar 'Uḳba. When Abaye was speaking of his uncle and teacher Rabbah bar Naḥmani, he merely said "Mar," without adding any name (Pes. 101a). When Tabyomi, R. Ashi's son, cited in a lecture sentences by his father, he did not refer to him by name, but said "Abba Mari" (= "my father, my lord").

Etymology of Duk

What does the name Duk mean?

The ancient Norman culture that was established in England after the Conquest of 1066 produced the name of Duk. It was given to a person who had a duck-like gait or bore some other resemblance to a duck. The surname Duk is derived from Old English words duk, dukke, duck, doke, and dook, which all mean duck. However, these words are often indistinguishable from the various Old English words duc, duk, duke, douc, and doke, which all came from the Old French word duc. This ultimately came from the Latin word dux, which means leader, and is a derivative of the verb ducere, which means to lead.

Merovech (French: Mérovée, Merowig; Latin: Meroveus; c. 411 –457)[1] was the ancestor of the Merovingian dynasty, and the grandfather of its founder Clovis I. He was reportedly a king of the Salian Franks, but records of his existence are mixed with legend and myth. The most important written source, Gregory of Tours, recorded that Merovech was said to be descended from Chlodio, a roughly contemporary Frankish warlord who pushed from the Silva Carbonaria in modern central Belgium as far south as the Somme, north of Paris in modern-day France. His supposed descendants, the kings Childeric I and Clovis I, are the first well-attested Merovingians.

He may have been one of several barbarian warlords and kings that joined forces with the Roman general Aetius against the Huns under Attila at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains in Gaul in 451.

Église St-Pierre de Montmartre

Montmartre & Northern Paris, France, Europe

Montmartre & Northern Paris

All that remains of the former Benedictine Abbey of Montmartre, this church dates back to the 12th century and is one of the oldest in Paris, though it has been much restored. Built atop a Roman temple to Mars, it was witness to the founding of the Jesuits in 1534, who met in the crypt under the guidance of Ignatius of Loyola.

Some say that the name Montmartre is derived from ‘Mons Martis’ (Latin for Mount of Mars); others prefer the Christian ‘Mont Martyr’ (Mount of the Martyr), a reference to the 3rd-century St Denis, who, according to legend, walked across Montmartre and on to the site of today’s Basilique de St-Denis after having been beheaded by Roman priests.

The etymology for the name Marduk is generally understood to be derived from damar-utu-(a)k, meaning "bull-calf of Utu".[7] Sommerfield suggests this is used to explain the name Marduk in the Enuma Elish as "He is the 'son of the sun[a]' of the gods, radiant is he."[11]

The Carolingian dynasty (/ˌkærəˈlɪndʒiən/ KARR-ə-LIN-jee-ən;[1] known variously as the Carlovingians, Carolingus, Carolings, Karolinger or Karlings) was a Frankish noble family named after Charles Martel and his grandson Charlemagne, descendants of the Arnulfing and Pippinid clans of the 7th century AD.[2] The dynasty consolidated its power in the 8th century, eventually making the offices of mayor of the palace and dux et princeps Francorum hereditary, and becoming the de facto rulers of the Franks as the real powers behind the Merovingian throne. In 751 the Merovingian dynasty which had ruled the Franks was overthrown with the consent of the Papacy and the aristocracy, and Pepin the Short, son of Martel, was crowned King of the Franks. The Carolingian dynasty reached its peak in 800 with the crowning of Charlemagne as the first Emperor of the Romans in the West in over three centuries. Nearly every monarch of France from Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious till the penultimate monarch of France Louis Philippe have been his descendants. His death in 814 began an extended period of fragmentation of the Carolingian Empire and decline that would eventually lead to the evolution of the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire.

Name

The Carolingian dynasty takes its name from Carolus, the Latinised name of multiple Frankish kings including Charlemagne and Charles Martel.[3] The name originates from a common Germanic word, rendered in Old High German as Karl or Kerl,[4] meaning 'man', 'husband', or 'freeman'.[5]

The Divine Identity in 1 Peter: The Father, Christ, and the Spirit in Relation

By Garrett S. Craig

Abstract

Traditionally the discipline of New Testament studies has not been welcoming to a Trinitarian understanding of God. In recent years, however, some scholars working in the discipline have argued for the positive exegetical benefits for what they have called a “Trinitarian hermeneutic.” While working within the historical-grammatical paradigm, a Trinitarian hermeneutic seeks to understand the text’s God-talk by attending to the relations between the Father, Christ, and the Spirit. By using this method, the article argues that the divine identity found in the letter of 1 Peter puts pressure on its readers to articulate an understanding of God that agrees with later Trinitarian confessions.

Within the historical-critical model of interpretation, any hint of the doctrine of the Trinity is deemed “anachronistic,” “philosophical,” and uncongenial to the early church’s experience of God.1 Recently some scholars working within biblical studies have vocalized criticism against the anti-Trinitarian assumptions undergirding the historical-critical enterprise.2 Not only have they offered disapproval of anti-Trinitarianism but they have claimed positive exegetical benefits of an alternative Trinitarian framework.3When discussing a biblical author’s God-talk, the typical starting point within biblical studies is Jewish monotheism. Scholars discern how Christ and the Spirit “fit” within a monotheistic framework and often try to determine whether a particular biblical author has a “high” or “low” Christology.4 As an alternative, the application of the category of “relations” to texts that speak about God, Christ, and the Spirit forms the basis of what some scholars have called a Trinitarian hermeneutic. As Wesley Hill states, a Trinitarian hermeneutic “considers the identities of God, Christ, and the Spirit by means of their relations to and with one another.”5

This essay will be an exercise in reading 1 Peter through the lens of a Trinitarian hermeneutic in order to trace the identity of God.6 I argue that Peter’s presentation of God, through the language of the Father, Christ, and the Spirit contains the “underlying logic” by which later creedal statements develop.7 First Peter puts pressure on its readers towards a triune conception of God.8 To be clear, I am not arguing that Peter has a fully developed doctrine of the Trinity.9 Instead, I posit that the letter contains a sample of fertile soil for which later Trinitarian developments could properly flourish. The thesis will be advanced by first considering the Father’s relationship to Christ by examining two texts, 1 Peter 1:3 and 1:18–21. Second, I will look at the Spirit’s relationship to God the Father and Christ in 1 Peter 1:10–12; 3:18; and 4:14.

1. The Relationship between the Father and Christ

What is the nature of the relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ in 1 Peter? How does God’s actions towards Christ contribute to our understanding of Peter’s conception of the identity of God? These questions will govern this section. Accordingly, Jesus Christ’s identity can only be understood in relation to his unique filial relationship with God the Father. Furthermore, God’s relationship with Christ is disclosed when the identity descriptions of Peter’s God-talk are given proper attention.

1.1. A Unique Relationship with Father

Divine fatherhood is the controlling concept of God in 1 Peter (1:2, 3, 17).10 Commentators connect the picture of God as a Father to the rebirth metaphor that Peter uses to describe believers’ salvation (1:3). As John Elliott writes, “the metaphor of God as father … implies God as progenitor and the believing community as God’s family or household (2:5; 4:17) and ‘brotherhood’ (2:17; 5:9).”11 We may add that Peter clarifies that rebirth is not given by means of “perishable seed” (σπορᾶς φθαρτῆς), but the “imperishable” (ἀφθάρτου), that is, the living and abiding word of God (1:23).12 Further, as God is the Father of believers, certain codes of conduct from his children are required (τέκνα ὑπακοῆς; 1:14).13 Thus, in 1 Peter both spiritual and social privileges of the community are grounded in the thick metaphor of the fatherhood of God.

Since the believing community relates to God as Father, how should we understand the fatherhood of God in relation to Jesus Christ (1:3)? Is the sonship of Jesus symmetrical with the sonship of believers? There are several points in 1 Peter that forward the notion that Christ’s relationship to the Father is indeed unique.

In 1 Peter all believers can certainly invoke God as Father, nevertheless, they do so in a mediated sense. Green is close to the point when he says, “although both Jesus and believers find their identity in relationship to God, they do so in different ways.”14 To bring out an obvious point, not only is the believer’s relationship with God different from Christ’s due to mediation, but they are only designated children of God through the Son of God, Jesus Christ. This point is seen as Peter consistently uses the preposition διά to indicate how believers participate in calling God their Father. For example, in 1:3 the metaphor of rebirth (which is connected to the father metaphor for the believing community) is said to be “through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (διʼ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐκ νεκρῶν).15 Also, in 1:21 it is through Christ that Peter’s audience have faith in God (τοὺς διʼ αὐτοῦ πιστοὺς εἰς θεόν). Later in 2:5, Peter affirms that believers offer spiritual sacrifices well pleasing to God “through Jesus Christ” (διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ). Finally, according to 3:21 believers appeal to God for a clear conscience “through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (διʼ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ).

What this suggests is that while both Christ and believers have a filial relationship with God, Christ’s relationship with the Father is unique by its unmediated nature. It does not necessitate much imagination to see how comparing the filial relationship between believers and the Father alongside the filial relationship between Jesus Christ and the Father causes serious reflection upon the ontological relationship between the Father and the Son.16

1.2. Identity Descriptions of the Father

The category of “mutuality” or “bi-directionality” has been used within a Trinitarian framework to analyze the God-talk of various texts.17 Mutuality is explained by Watson when he writes, “Trinitarian theology claims that God’s identity is determined by God’s relation to Jesus, just as Jesus’ identity is determined by his relation to God.”18 In other words, both the identity of God and the identity of Jesus is determined by how they relate to each other. Using the concept of mutuality, we find that Peter likewise puts pressure on his readers to conclude that God’s identity is tied to Jesus Christ in such a way that we cannot talk about God without reference to Jesus Christ, and we cannot talk about Jesus without reference to God.

Mutuality between the Father and Christ is found in 1 Peter 1:17–21. Peter concisely narrates the Christ-event that stretches back before history and culminates in the moment of Christ’s death (vv. 19–20). A profound articulation of God’s identity appears at the conclusion of the semi-creedal statement about the Christ-event in 1:21. Peter’s description of God’s actions in that event is expressed with a pair of participles connected by a conjunction. God is described as “the one who raised him [Christ] from the dead” (θεὸν τὸν ἐγείραντα αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν) and who “gave him glory” (καὶ δόξαν αὐτῷ δόντα).19 Such descriptions of God are found elsewhere in the NT (cf. Gal 1:1; Rom 4:24; 8:11). According to Elliot they represent a “central” and “stable element of early Christian tradition.”20

Due to the ubiquity of the depiction of God, as well as its semi-creedal nature, scholars working within a Trinitarian framework have labeled such participial phrases “identity descriptions.” As Hill comments, “the aim of such formulations is not merely to reference some divine action but also to ‘name’ God or specify his unique character by that action.”21 The description of God’s action of raising Christ from the dead and giving him glory also discloses something about God’s identity. Following Watson, “the raising of Jesus discloses, not only what God does but, at the same time, who God is.”22 Again, Watson writes, “Divine being and divine action are inseparable from one another, and no distinction is drawn between how God is in se and ad extra.”23

One may object by asking why God’s action towards Christ should be constitutive to his identity? As the context of Peter’s letter indicates, God’s action in raising Christ from the dead is the definitive act of God. For Peter, the action of raising Christ from the dead and giving him glory constitutes the redemptive act by which God has brought about the new birth for his people. Specifically, the intended result connected to God’s actions in 1:21 is so that believers have “faith and hope in God” (ὥστε τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐλπίδα εἶναι εἰς θεόν).24 The action of raising Christ from the dead is elsewhere connected to providing believers with eschatological hope (1:3). Moreover, the divine act of raising Christ from the dead is integral to both cleansing believer’s consciences and forgiving their sins (3:21).25 Thus, from Peter’s perspective, God’s action in raising Christ from the dead is the definitive work of God’s redemption and relates to several benefits the people of God experience.26

Finally, working from the assumption that divine act reveals divine being, we may consider two additional divine acts that disclose God’s identity in 1 Peter. Preceding 1 Peter 1:21 are two participial phrases that also narrate God’s actions towards Christ. Peter says Christ is “foreknown” (προεγνωσμένου) before the foundation of the world (1:20) and he is “made manifest in the last times” (φανερωθέντος δὲ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου τῶν χρόνων).27 According to Achtemeier, it is the person of Christ and not merely God’s plan that is foreknown.28 Moreover, this manifestation refers to Christ’s incarnation with the passive form of the participle indicating divine action.29 Putting all these divine acts together we see that, in 1 Peter, Christ is the one who was foreknown, manifested, raised, and given glory by God. As such, God’s identity is constitutively tied to his actions in Christ as Christ is definitively identified by his relationship with God the Father.

1.3. Summary

What does the relationship between God and Jesus Christ tell us about the divine identity in 1 Peter? God is who he is by virtue of his relationship with Jesus Christ; he is the Father of Christ, and by implication Christ is his son. This relationship between God and Christ, although sharing some commonalities with all believers, is marked uniquely by the unmediated nature of their relationship. Further, God is identified in 1 Peter by his actions. Scholars have noted the importance of “identity descriptions,” and specifically, the ability to “pick out” the God of 1 Peter through these descriptions. When applied to 1 Peter, God is defined as “the God who raised Jesus from the dead and gave him glory.” Moreover, he is the God who has “foreknown” and “manifested” Jesus Christ. These identity descriptions work in a bi-directional manner; thus, Jesus is also identified as the one whom the Father foreknew, manifested, raised, and glorified. In short, God is defined in 1 Peter by his relationship to Jesus Christ, just as Christ is defined by his relationship to God the Father.

2. The Father and Christ in Relation to the Spirit

The significance of the Spirit in 1 Peter cannot be judged upon the number of times the author uses the word.30 Instead, the Spirit sits prominently at the beginning alongside the Father and Christ (1:2) and thus foreshadows his important role in the letter.31 Our examination of the Spirit considers his relationship to God and Christ. I argue that the Spirit’s identity is governed by his relation to God and Christ and his actions are defined in so far as they are related to their redemptive work.

2.1. The Spirit of Christ

While 1:10–12 is a passage with exegetical difficulties, it serves as a crucial text on the identity of the Spirit in 1 Peter. The uniqueness of 1 Peter as it concerns the Spirit is primarily found in the phrase “the Spirit of Christ” (πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ).32 What is perhaps determinative for several interpretive questions is the connection between v. 11 and v. 12. The two events—the first in the past and the second in the present (νῦν)—both reference the Spirit. The Spirit in v. 12 unambiguously points to the divine Spirit since πνεῦμα is modified by the adjective “holy” (πνεύματι ἁγίῳ). In addition, Peter says the Holy Spirit is “sent from heaven” (ἀποσταλέντι ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ), thus reinforcing His divine origin.33 Furthermore, since Peter parallels vv. 11–12, it is best to interpret “the Spirit of Christ” (πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ) in v. 11, not as Jesus’s human spirit, but instead as the divine Spirit.34 Michaels is correct in eschewing the choice in 1:11 between a reference to the Holy Spirit or a reference to the preexistent Christ.35

2.1.1. The Operation of the Spirit

The operation of the Spirit can first be described as revelatory.36 Peter opens v. 10 with the term “salvation” (σωτηρίας), which links the thought to v. 9. Salvation here, as generally in the letter, is eschatological.37 As Peter draws his readers’ attention to their present experience of “the grace destined” for them (τῆς εἰς ὑμᾶς χάριτος), he reminds his readers that they are in a privileged position.38 Peter says the prophets have “earnestly investigated” (v. 10; ἐξεζήτησαν καὶ ἐξηραύνησαν) and have been “searching” (v. 11; ἐραυνῶντες).39 While what the prophets were searching for is difficult to determine with certainty,40 the fact that the object of their searching serves the main verb ἐδήλου (“was indicating”) carries the sense that “their searching and the Spirit’s indicating [ἐδήλου] coincide…”41 The important point is that the activity of the prophets (i.e., ἐξεζήτησαν καὶ ἐξηραύνησαν) does not happen independently—it is revealed to them. What is more, neither is the prophets’ activity the primary focus of Peter. Instead, the emphasis is on the revelatory operation of the Spirit of Christ.42 This conclusion is seen by noting the emphasis on the Spirit’s work when Peter says the Spirit “indicates” (ἐδήλου), “predicts” (προμαρτυρόμενον),43 as well as “reveals” (ἀπεκαλύφθη)44 to the prophets.

Second, the operation of the Spirit can be described as dynamic.45 As Schreiner comments, “those who proclaim the gospel [did] so by the power of the Holy Spirit.”46 While the apostles are the human agents, it is the Holy Spirit who is the means by which the gospel is empowered to be proclaimed. As the purpose in preaching the gospel is conversion or rebirth (1:3ff), perhaps there is a corresponding effect of the Spirit’s activity as he simultaneously empowers gospel proclamation and produces his “sanctifying” (ἐν ἁγιασμῷ πνεύματος) change in the lives of the elect (1:2).

The operation of the Spirit includes his revelatory activity to the prophets as well as his dynamic work in empowering gospel proclamation. Importantly, both the Spirit’s revelatory and dynamic work is done in relation to Christ. The significance of the operation of the Spirit is also seen in conjunction with the next point.

The revelatory and dynamic operation of the Spirit finds its significance in the content of his witness. Through the prophets, we are told in 1:11, the Spirit foretold “the sufferings destined for Christ and his subsequent glories” (τὰ εἰς Χριστὸν παθήματα καὶ τὰς μετὰ ταῦτα δόξας).47 Among the recipients of Peter’s letter, the Spirit empowers gospel proclamation; thus “the same Spirit at work long ago is currently at work in the community of believers and so provides for a consistent witness to the same reality.”48 In other words, the content of the Spirit’s witness across time is Christological. Schreiner summarizes this point well:

Both the OT prophets and those who herald the good news of Christ on this side of the cross speak by means of the Holy Spirit. In both instances, Peter emphasizes, they center on the gospel of Christ. The prophets anticipated the gospel by looking forward to the fulfillment of their prophecies about the Messiah as the crucified and risen Lord. Those who now proclaim the gospel announce the fulfillment of the prophetic word in the life, ministry, death, resurrection, and exaltation of Jesus Christ. In both instances the ministry of the Spirit centers on Jesus Christ.49

The revelatory and dynamic witness of the Spirit in 1 Peter is centered on the sufferings and glories of Christ.

In summary, the Spirit inspired the prophets of old the same Christ-centered message that he now empowers to be proclaimed to the Petrine community, reinforcing the point that the identity of the Spirit in 1 Peter is defined by his relationship to Christ. In other words, in 1:11–12 the Spirit cannot be comprehended without reference to Christ, both in the past and the present. The Spirit’s identity, and conversely Christ’s identity, are mutually bounded.

2.2. The Spirit of God

As the Spirit is in juxtaposition with Christ (the Spirit of Christ), so also the Spirit relates to God in 1 Peter. While the identity of the Spirit is thus broadened beyond a Christological focus, it does not undermine or compete with it. As we consider two passages, we will note the identity of the Spirit is determined by his relationship to God as the agent in Christ’s resurrection. Furthermore, according to 1 Peter, the Spirit functions as God’s comfort and power for the believing community as they suffer for their relationship to Christ. The presentation of the “Spirit of God” in 1 Peter thus reinforces that the identity of the Spirit is determined by his relationship with God and his actions are defined in so far as they contribute to God’s redemptive work in Christ.

2.2.1. God’s Spirit Raised Jesus from the Dead

As discussed above, God is defined as the one “who raised Jesus from the dead and gave him glory” (1:21). God’s identity is tied to this particular action, and it is significant that 1 Peter 3:18 implicates the Spirit as the agent through which God accomplishes this great act of redemption.

Not all scholars agree Peter intends such teaching in the letter. The debate involves the final phrase, “on the one hand he was put to death in the flesh but made alive in/by S/spirit” (θανατωθεὶς μὲν σαρκὶ ζῳοποιηθεὶς δὲ πνεύματι). The symmetry of the phrase provided by the μὲν … δέ construction has been a compelling factor in determining the meaning of πνεύματι.50 That Peter intends to parallel θανατωθείς with ζῳοποιηθείς, and σαρκί with πνεύματι, seems obvious. What is not clear, however, is whether the parallel structure necessitates interpreting the datives (σαρκί and πνεύματι) in the same way.

If Peter intends the datives to be taken the same way, then σαρκί and πνεύματι can be understood as datives of sphere, or perhaps datives of reference.51 This interpretation would likely rule out capitalizing “spirit.”52 Others, however, are not convinced that the parallelism determines the meaning of both datives. For example, Schreiner writes, “The deadlock can be broken if we recognize that the two dative nouns are not used in precisely the same way; the first is a dative of reference, and the second is a dative of agency.”53

The important point for our discussion is that the latter interpretation allows for the Spirit to be the divine agent in Christ’s resurrection. While Christ was put to death by humans, he was raised by God’s Spirit.54 As noted above, God is identified as the one who raised Christ from the dead (1:21), but here, writes Schreiner, “Peter ascribes [Christ’s] resurrection and the beginning of his reign to the work of the Spirit.”55 God, by the power of the Spirit, raises Christ from the dead. This may constitute the most important triadic formula in 1 Peter as the totality of the triune God is found within the central saving act of God.56

2.2.2. God’s Spirit in Comfort and Power

First Peter 4:12–19 serves “both as a summary of the past discussion and as an introduction to the final section of the letter.”57 It is because of their allegiance to Christ that they are insulted (εἰ ὀνειδίζεσθε ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ). But Peter’s emphasis is that although they are rejected by men, they are “blessed” (μακάριοι) by God. The reason why they are blessed is also answered by Peter—they are blessed “for the Spirit of glory, that is, the Spirit of God rests upon you” (ὅτι τὸ τῆς δόξης καὶ τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ πνεῦμα ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἀναπαύεται).

The exegetical details of the debate surrounding this phrase is complex.58 However, many of the conclusions do not affect our understanding of the Spirit of God at work here. Most commentators take this as a reference to the divine Spirit.59 As such, we simply note the dual role of the Spirit as God resting upon believers. First, the Spirit of God acts as a foretaste of the coming eschatological glory during suffering.60 Second, as the Spirit of God rests upon believers, they experience empowerment to endure persecution.61 In this way, the future glory serves as an encouragement to endure suffering for their allegiance to Christ.

Therefore, the Spirit of God in 1 Peter is the divine agent who raised Christ from the dead. Further, the Spirit of God is the one who comforts and subsequently empowers those afflicted with suffering for their allegiance to Christ.

2.3. Summary

What has emerged from Peter’s portrait of the Spirit is a divine agent of both God and Christ. The Spirit’s identity, while distinct, is tied intimately to God and Christ. He bears witness to Christ in the OT and empowers messengers of the gospel to proclaim the truth of Christ’s sufferings and glories. The Spirit also is identified as God’s agent in raising Christ from the dead and thus stands with the Father and Christ at the center of God’s great redemptive act. The Spirit is also the one who comforts and empowers the believing community in their suffering for Christ. Thus, Green fittingly says, “Peter demonstrates clearly that the Spirit must be understood intimately in relation to the Father and Christ within Peter’s portrait of the triune God.”62

3. Conclusion

Although a Trinitarian approach in NT studies has gained momentum over the past decade, scholars have focused primarily on the Pauline letters and the Johannine corpus.63 The Catholic Epistles have received less attention on the topic. This essay has sought to help rectify the trend and contribute to the broader question of Trinitarian approaches in the NT studies by applying a Trinitarian hermeneutic to the letter of 1 Peter. I hope this essay will encourage further study on the divine identity in other NT writers outside of Paul and John.

A second contribution is to help break down the (false) dichotomy between exegesis and theology by showing the richness of Peter’s God-talk and the value of theological frameworks to the exegete. The field of biblical studies is in a state of uncertainty.64 With many of its previous long-held assumptions being challenged, biblical studies has opened itself up to a range of different perspectives.65 Whether this is a positive development is still to be seen, but there is now tolerance to approaching the text with what Hill calls “doctrinal exegesis.”66 At the same time, my hope is for the theologian to see the dogmatic benefits of intensive engagement with the biblical text. It is often said that the early church formulation of the doctrine of the Trinity was biblical and exegetical while those opposing Trinitarianism relied upon a patchwork of individual proof-texts. It is important then for contemporary Trinitarians to recover not only the dogmatic conclusions of the early church but also their method of a close reading of Scripture.

While this essay contributes to a Trinitarian approach in NT Studies, one must remember that the letter itself is primarily pastoral. How then does a Trinitarian reading of 1 Peter impact us pastorally? First, such a reading helps us remember that salvation for believers is rooted in the work of the entire triune God.67 As we have already outlined above, the work of the Father, Son, and Spirit all play crucial roles in the accomplishment of the believer’s redemption. The Father foreknows and manifests the Son so that he would suffer and die in our place. The Spirit is likewise active in the accomplishment of salvation. It is the Spirit who is active in raising Christ from the dead. Moreover, it is the Spirit who points the prophets of the past and human beings in the present to the work of the Son. Pastorally then, when we proclaim the salvation that believers participate in, we must remember that we are pointing others to the work of the entire triune God.

Pastorally, one also thinks of how 1 Peter addresses suffering in the Christian life. Peter seeks to encourage and exhort his audience towards a particular way of being in a hostile environment.68 Rensburg comments that the ethics in 1 Peter is “rooted in the reality of God” is instructive here.69 While 1 Peter centers on Christ as the exemplar in suffering (2:21–24; 3:18), significantly, the Father, Son, and Spirit are all active when Christians face trials. Peter seamlessly integrates the Father’s pronouncement of blessing with the comforting power of the Spirit on a believing community that suffers for their commitment to Christ (4:12–19). Thus, Peter encourages us to think of trials not only in a Christo-centric manner but also in a Trinitarian manner.

First Peter says much about the triune identity of God. I have argued that 1 Peter puts pressure on its readers to articulate an understanding of God that agrees with later Trinitarian statements. While not detailing a full-fledged “doctrine” of the Trinity, the divine identity found in 1 Peter welcomes those later Trinitarian expressions as detecting the underlying logic of the text. As one scholar notes, “to speak about ‘God’ in 1 Peter therefore demands speaking as well about Jesus Christ and about the Spirit.”70 In addition, to speak about Christ and the Spirit is to necessarily include the work of the Father. In other words, 1 Peter supports the idea of mutuality of relations between the Father, Christ, and the Spirit.

Francis Watson captures well the ethos when he writes, “Modern biblical scholarship has no great love for the doctrine of the Trinity.” He continues, “It likes to warn its customers that, if they read a biblical text in the light of what was to become the orthodox Nicene theology of the fourth century, they will inevitably be committing the ‘sin of anachronism.’” With respect to 1 Peter, of consider the attitude by Julian Price Love, “First Epistle of Peter,” Int 8 (1954): 70, when he writes, “Peter, and indeed all the writers of the New Testament, were too genuinely religious, rather than philosophical, to congeal their experience with God into any cold dogma. Theirs was an intuitive rather than a logical understanding, and to a large extent we wrong them if we seek to enclose in straight creedal jackets that which in their thought flows like a river.” See Scott Swain, The God of the Gospel: Robert Jenson’s Trinitarian Theology (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2013), 18, who summarizes the shift from a Trinitarian hermeneutic being axiomatic to contested, “With the rise of Enlightenment thought, the aforementioned hermeneutical problematic became more acute, and, as it did, Trinitarian theology underwent a (oftentimes radical) material transformation. Among many relevant factors contributing to this transformation, three deserve mention here: the rise of new interpretive methods, new attitudes toward classical metaphysics and new agendas for the Protestant university.” For common objections to Trinitarian hermeneutics in biblical studies, see also Wesley Hill, Paul and the Trinity: Persons, Relations, and the Pauline Letters (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2015), 18–22.

[4] See examples of both “low” and “high” Christology in Hill, Paul and the Trinity, 3–18. Unlike Hill, I am less critical of the standard Jewish monotheistic framework. I find the Jewish emphasis of the NT documents, along with the high/low Christological questions, to be valuable as we interpret these texts. If one uses a high/low Christological framework, 1 Pet 3:15 is perhaps an example where a NT writer freely identifies Christ with Yahweh of the OT. See Karen H. Jobes, 1 Peter, BECNT (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2005), 229. Utilizing an alternate framework for understanding 1 Peter should not be taken as my rejection of other categories.

[5] Hill, Paul and the Trinity, 2.

[6] For the complexities associated with the term “identity,” see Robert W. Jenson, “Identity, Jesus, and Exegesis,” in Seeking the Identity of Jesus: A Pilgrimage, ed. Beverly Roberts Gaventa and Richard B. Hays (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2008), 43–59. After sifting through some of the challenges to defining identity, Jenson links “having an identity” with “persons.” Jenson writes, “Having an identity is something persons do––or want or hope to do, or even not to do. Let us say that an identity, in recent usage, is what can be repeatedly specified by a proper name or an identifying description, particularly with respect to what, again in more recent usage, may be called a person” (emphasis mine). Joel B. Green, 1 Peter, Two Horizons New Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2007), 25 n. 37, uses identity “in the sense of continuity in terms of a network of relationships and narrative of interactions, together with an emphasis on functionality that refuses any dichotomy between performance and sentiment (or character).” Throughout the paper I will be similarly employing the term, focusing on the function of each person of the Godhead as well as their relationship with each other as presented in 1 Peter.

[7] Even beyond the development of Christological language there are dissimilarities between later creedal formulas and the biblical text of 1 Peter. For instance, in later centuries the triune appellations during baptismal confessions became standardized (i.e., Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The order in 1 Peter (and the NT in general) is less consistent. Furthermore, the Trinitarian core was expanded in baptismal confessions by expanding the appositional words, phrases, and clauses that identified the three persons and by adding other items of faith to the basic Trinitarian confession. See Nils Alstrup Dahl, “Trinitarian Baptismal Creeds and New Testament Christology,” in Jesus the Christ: The Historical Origins of Christological Doctrine (Minneapolis: Fortress, 1991), 173.

8 I am borrowing the language articulated by Rowe, “Biblical Pressure,” 308. Rowe cites Brevard S. Childs, “Toward Recovering Theological Exegesis,” ProEccl 6 (1997): 16–26, for originating the idea. See also C. Kavin Rowe, “Luke and the Trinity: An Essay in Ecclesial Biblical Theology,” SJT 56 (2003): 4–6; Watson, “Trinity and Communinty,” 170. Although arriving at some similar conclusions, the chapter by Dorian Lockett has a broader scope as he looks at the Trinity from the perspective of the Catholic Epistles (James through Jude). Lockett helpfully shows how the Catholic Epistles were read as both a theological collection and in a Trinitarian manner. Dorian Lockett, “Catholic Epistles,” in The Trinity in the Canon: A Biblical, Theological, Historical and Practical Proposal, ed. Brandon D. Smith (Nashville: B&H Academic, 2023), 311–41.

9 Hill, Paul and the Trinity, 45, rightly cautions and says, “To avoid this [projection] pitfall…. First, the readings …will be self-consciously historical readings, guided by the canons of ‘critical’ modes of exegesis…. Second, Trinitarian theologies will be employed as hermeneutical resources and, thus, mined for conceptualities which may better enable a genuinely historical exegesis to articulate what other equally ‘historical’ approaches may have obscured.” As many who advocate for a Trinitarian framework admit, assuming the biblical author is operating with a full-fledged Trinitarian doctrine will lead to anachronism. See, for example, Rowe, “Biblical Pressure,” 310. However, this does not mean the framework which produced later codifications of orthodoxy is inherently misguided.

[10] Jobes, 1 Peter, 46.

[11] John H. Elliott, 1 Peter, AB (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2001), 334. Troy W. Martin, Metaphor and Composition in 1 Peter, SBLDS 131 (Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1992), 161–88, understands the household metaphor to control the entirety of 1:14–2:10.

[12] Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 95.

[13] As Reinhard Feldmeier and Hermann Spieckermann (God of the Living: A Biblical Theology, trans. Mark E. Biddle [Waco: Baylor University Press, 2015], 84) observe, “The reborn, as ‘children of obedience’ (1 Pet 1:14), orient their behavior toward God as Father, who is simultaneously their judge (1 Pet 1:17).”

[14] Green, 1 Peter, 24.

[15] We can only tentatively affirm this connection at 1:3 since there is a dispute as to whether the phrase διʼ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐκ νεκρῶν relates to “living hope” (ἐλπίδα ζῶσαν) or “rebirth” (ἀναγεννήσας). While word order may point us exclusively in the direction of the former, the latter choice seems likely as well. See Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 62, and Michaels, 1 Peter, 19, for respective positions. Following Elliott, 1 Peter, 334–35, it is best to see the phrase linked with the believer’s rebirth and future hope. So also, Goppelt, 1 Peter, 84. Alternatively, Jobes, 1 Peter, 82–83, and Green, 1 Peter, 24, connect rebirth exclusively to Christ’s resurrection.

[16] Watson, “The Triune Divine Identity,” 115, writes, “If Jesus is Son of God, then God is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: the purpose of the father/son language is to indicate that God and Jesus are identified by their relation to each other, and have no existence apart from that relation.”

[17] Hill, Paul and the Trinity, 49.

[18] Watson, “The Triune Divine Identity,” 119. See Hill, Paul and the Trinity, 49–50, who contrasts mutuality in relations with the common trend to locate Jesus on a spectrum of “high” or “low” Christology. He writes, “In order to identify Jesus, it is necessary to refer to God, but also, in order to identify God, it is necessary to refer to Jesus. Mutuality, rather than a unilateral movement (in either direction), is the watchword here. Jesus, the Son, is who he is only in relation to the Father, and likewise the Father is who he is only in relation to Jesus the Son.”

19 Michaels, 1 Peter, 69–70, followed by Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 89, interprets the phrase “gave him glory,” as defining “for the reader the significance of ‘raised him from the dead.’ The ‘glory’ (i.e., the vindication, or demonstration of divine favor) given to Jesus at his resurrection is the glory they are waiting to see revealed (4:13; 5:1, 4) even as they suffer ridicule for the sake of his name (4:14).” One may also interpret the phrase as God’s enthronement of Christ, which has precedence in the letter (3:22). If so, Peter’s participial “identity description” would include, not only the act of God raising Jesus from the dead but also a subsequent action of enthronement.

[20] Elliott, 1 Peter, 378, notes, “this formulation of 1 Peter, which combine who raised him from the dead with gave him glory, is unique in the NT, though it succinctly formulates similar words by Peter in Acts: ‘(God) glorified his servant Jesus … whom God raised from the dead.’”

[21] Hill, Paul and the Trinity, 53.

[22] Watson, “The Triune Divine Identity,” 106. There is an assumption here which understands the inseparabi-lity of divine action and divine identity.

[23] Watson, “The Triune Divine Identity,” 105. I’m aware of the philosophical and theological disputes concerning the economic Trinity and immanent Trinity. I have no intention of adjudicating such discussions here. I merely want to bring to attention the relationship of action and identity, which seems to be inseparable as we consider this epistle. Robert W. Jenson, The Triune Identity: God according to the Gospel (Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock, 2002); Swain, The God of the Gospel; Jenson, “Identity, Jesus, and Exegesis.”

[24] Elliott, 1 Peter, 379, adds, “This clause [v. 21c] … states the intended personal result of Christ’s eschatological manifestation, resurrection, and glorification by God….”

[25] On the interpretation of 3:21 see Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 196–97.

[26] Watson, “The Triune Divine Identity,” 111, writes, “Like others, Jesus is the object of divine action, unlike others, he is the object of the specific divine action of definitive self-identification, entailing as it does the reconciliation of the world to God.”

[27] See Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 88. While Christ’s preexistence is not necessary to the interpretation of this verse, foreknowledge here likely implies preexistence. Additionally, Schreiner, 88 n. 144, cites those who argue against the preexistence of Christ by saying texts like these refer to God’s plan for salvation, not necessarily the person of Christ himself.

[28] Paul J. Achtemeier, 1 Peter: A Commentary of First Peter, Hermeneia (Minneapolis: Fortress, 1996), 132.

[29] Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 88; Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 131.

[30] Michaels, 1 Peter, lxxv, seems to be guilty of this move as he compares numerically the use of “spirit” to other key themes such as “grace” or “glory“ by Peter.

[31] Edward Gordon Selwyn, The First Epistle of St. Peter: The Greek Text with Introduction, Notes, and Essays, 2nd ed. (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1981), 249, observes that πνεύματος in 1:2 is best taken as a subjective, “in which case,” he writes, “its collocation with πατρός and Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, both personal, suggest that πνεύματος is personal too.”

[32] While it is not abnormal to find similar references elsewhere, the exact phrase is rare and has caused scholars to consider its meaning in detail. See Rom 8:9, εἰ δέ τις πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ οὐκ ἔχει, οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ. For similar expressions see Acts 16:7; Gal 4:6; and Phil 1:19.

[33] Perhaps a Christological origin of the Spirit is suggested. The participle is a divine passive, referencing either God or Christ. While Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 75, understands Peter to be reminding his readers of the Spirit’s descent at Pentecost, Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 111, says such an interpretation is probably not intended. Goppelt, 1 Peter, 101, understands Peter to be saying the Spirit accompanies the messengers of salvation for strength and authority. If this interpretation is correct, Peter is not referring to the unique event of Pentecost but the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit as the good news is preached.

[34] Χριστοῦ is best taken as a genitive of source (“the Spirit from Christ”), rather than epexegetically (“the Spirit, namely, Christ”). Contra Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 110; See Dubis, 1 Peter, 19. Also, understanding Χριστοῦ as a genitive of source does not negate interpreting the verse as referencing the preexistence of Christ. See Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 110 n. 60, for this point. It is likely the preexistence of Christ is implicit in 1:12 since Peter knew of Christ’s preexistence (cf. 1:20). Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 73; Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 109–10.

[35] Michaels states, “From Peter’s standpoint it is a false alternative because for him the two amount to the same thing.” Michaels, 1 Peter, 144.

[37] Selwyn, The First Epistle of St. Peter, 252.

[38] Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 75.

[39] The prophets are taken as OT prophets here. Not all scholars are convinced this refers to OT prophets. Selwyn, The First Epistle of St. Peter, 134, argues these are NT prophets. This is a minority position for good reasons as Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 72–73, outlines. Ἐξεζήτησαν καὶ ἐξηραύνησαν is interpreted as a hendiadys to emphasize the persistence and thoroughness of their search. So Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 108; translation Dubis, 1 Peter, 17–18.

[40] The τίνα could be an interrogative adjective modifying καιρόν (“what or what sort of time”) or an interrogative pronoun. If masculine, it would render “what person or what sort of time.” Forbes, 1 Peter, 123.

[41] Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 109. The other option is taking the phrase εἰς τίνα ἢ ποῖον καιρὸν as the object of ἐδήλου and προμαρτυρόμενον.

[42] Also, the consistency of the content of the revelation across time (see below).

[43] Achtemeier, 109 n. 49. This is not the action of the prophets “… since the singular neuter participles must modify ‘Spirit,’ not the plural masculine ‘prophets.’”

[44] Note the divine passive.

[45] Chester and Martin, The Theology of the Letters of James, Peter, and Jude, 118.

[46] Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 75. This interpretation takes πνεύματι ἁγίῳ as an instrumental dative. See also Forbes, 1 Peter, 32.

[47] Forbes, 1 Peter, 31. It is better to render the construction here as destination and thus bring out the divine purpose. There is a similar use of the preposition in v. 10 (“the grace destined for you”).

[48] Green, 1 Peter, 216.

[49] Thomas R. Schreiner, New Testament Theology: Magnifying God in Christ (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2008), 496.

[50] Jobes, 1 Peter, 240–41; Elliott, 1 Peter, 646.

[51] Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 250, explains, “Widely represented is the construal as a dative of sphere, that is, the two spheres of existence within which Christ is described, that of human existence and that of the divine Spirit. Closely related to dative of sphere is the adverbial dative, or dative of reference, that is, Christ’s being put to death had reference either to his own spirit or to the divine Spirit by whose power he was raised.”

[52] Forbes, 1 Peter, 123.

[53] Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 184. Both Schreiner and Dubis (1 Peter, 118) appeal to 1 Timothy 3:16 as an example where two nouns, though preceded by the same preposition, are to be interpreted differently.

[54] Achtemeier, 1 Peter, 250.

[55] Schreiner, New Testament Theology, 497. Lockett, “Catholic Epistles,” 334 notes how in the pre-modern commentary tradition, 1 Peter 3:18 garners more Trinitarian discussion than 1 Peter 1:2.

[56] It may also serve as the basis of interpreting 1 Peter 4:6 as another example of the Spirit’s work in the letter. So, writes Schreiner, New Testament Theology, 497, “Suffering believers are reminded that the opposition and discrimination that they face is short-lived because it is confined to this life. Believers die, and hence they receive a judgment according to the flesh, but they are promised physical resurrection by the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.”

[57] Achtemeier, 1 Peter. The passage reflects previous points about persecution (1:6–7), suffering as part of Christian identity (3:14–16), rejection of Christ resulting in judgment (2:7–8; 4:5), and entrusting one’s life to God (2:23), as well as two new points about bearing the name “Christian” and Christian suffering as the commencing of God’s judgment.

[58] The repetition of the article is problematic. See Dubis, 1 Peter, 150, for a full summary of positions. The phrase has been understood as (1) a hendiadys (“the Spirit of the glorious God”); (2) an epexegetical expression (“the Spirit of glory—indeed, the Spirit of God”); or (3) expressing two distinct subjects of ἀναπαύεται with the καὶ being conjunctive and τὸ τῆς δόξης being either a reference to the Shekinah (“the divine Glory and the Spirit of God are resting upon you”) or the eschatological glory in verse 13. Definitive judgments are difficult to arrive at. However, the repetition of “glory” throughout the letter, referring to Christ’s eschatological glory, points to taking τὸ τῆς δόξης as an anaphoric reference to the glory mentioned in verse 13. Michaels’s estimation is likely correct in seeing Peter combining a reference to Isaiah 11:2 (LXX) with the Gospel tradition (Mark 13:11; Luke 12:12; Matt. 10:20). Michaels, 1 Peter, 264–265.

[59] Elliott, 1 Peter, 783, affirms “This is one of the few references to the divine Spirit in the letter.” Nevertheless, he proposes a distinction which is left unexplained when he writes, “The thought reflects the OT notion of God’s Spirit resting on God’s people and its leaders rather than a ‘Trinitarian’ sense of Spirit of God.”

[60] Schreiner notes, “Believers who suffer are blessed because they are now enjoying God’s favor, tasting even now the wonder of the glory to come and experiencing the promised Holy Spirit.” Schreiner, 1, 2 Peter, Jude, 223.

[61] “For it is only by the power of the Spirit that one finds the resolve and strength to live an uncompromising life in a society that is hostile to one’s fundamental convictions and values.” Jobes, 1 Peter, 288.

ATI Technologies Inc. was a CANADIAN semiconductor technology corporation based in Markham, Ontario, that specialized in the development of graphics processing units and chipsets. Founded in 1985, the company listed publicly in 1993 and was acquired by AMD in 2006. As a major fabless semiconductor company, ATI conducted research and development in-house and outsourced the manufacturing and assembly of its products. With the decline and eventual bankruptcy of 3dfx in 2000, ATI and its chief rival Nvidia emerged as the two dominant players in the graphics processors industry, eventually forcing other manufacturers into niche roles.

The acquisition of ATI in 2006 was important to AMD's strategic development of its Fusion series of computer processors, which integrated general processing abilities with graphics processing functions within a single chip, which would become a popular option on computers in the following years, especially lower cost models.

In 2010, AMD ceased using the ATI brand name, renaming its flagship RADeon graphics processor products with its branding instead.[1]

With little difficulty, a warrant was obtained from the Grand Lodge of Prussia called the Royal York for Friendship, and the new lodge was called Theodore of the Good Council with the intention of flattering Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria. It was founded in Munich on 21 March 1779 and quickly packed with Illuminati. The first master, a man called RADL, was persuaded to return home to Baden and by July Weishaupt's order ran the lodge.[15]

The next step involved independence from their Grand Lodge. By establishing masonic relations with the Union lodge in Frankfurt, affiliated to the Premier Grand Lodge of England, lodge Theodore became independently recognised and able to declare its independence. As a new mother lodge, it could now spawn lodges of its own. The recruiting drive amongst the Frankfurt masons also obtained the allegiance of Adolph Freiherr Knigge.[15]

Revelation 3:9

https://biblehub.com/revelation/3-9.htm

Alumbrado, (Spanish: “Enlightened”, ) Italian Illuminato, plural Illuminati, a follower of a mystical movement in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. Its adherents claimed that the human soul, having attained a certain degree of perfection, was permitted a vision of the divine and entered into direct communication with the Holy Spirit. From this state the soul could neither advance nor retrogress. Consequently, participation in the liturgy, good works, and observance of the exterior forms of religious life were unnecessary for those who had received the “light.” The Alumbrados came primarily from among the reformed Franciscans and the Jesuits, but their doctrines seem to have influenced all classes of people. The extravagant claims made for their visions and revelations caused them to be relentlessly persecuted. The Inquisition issued edicts against them on three occasions (1568, 1574, and 1623)."

https://www.britannica.com/event/Alumbrado

Learned borrowing from Pali Buddha (“the Awakened One, the Enlightened One”), from buddha (“awakened, enlightened”), from Sanskrit बुद्ध (buddha, “awakened, enlightened”), past participle of बोधति (bodhati, “to wake, to awaken”). Distantly related to English bid and bede. Also cognate with Russian будить (buditʹ, “to wake up”)."

A papal renunciation (Latin: renuntiatio), also called a papal abdication, occurs when the current pope of the Catholic Church voluntarily resigns his position. As a pope conventionally holds the office for life, a papal renunciation is an uncommon event. Before the 21st century, only five popes unambiguously resigned with historical certainty, all between the 10th and 15th centuries. There are disputed claims of four popes having resigned, dating from the 3rd to the 11th centuries; a fifth disputed case may have involved an antipope.

On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob[34][35] of supporters of President Donald Trump in an attempted self-coup,[36] two months after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. They sought to keep him in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes to formalize the victory of then president-elect Joe Biden.

Most PSYOP activities and accomplishments in the U.S. invasion of Panama were hardly noticed by either the U.S. public or the general military community. But the special operations community did notice. The lessons learned in Panama were incorporated into standard operating procedures. Where possible, immediate changes were made to capitalize on the PSYOP successes of the Grenada and Panama operations. This led to improved production, performance, and effect in the next contingency, which took place within 6 months after the return of the last PSYOP elements from Panama. Operations [in Iraq] employed PSYOP of an order of magnitude and effectiveness which many credit to the lessons learned from Panama.[7]

The broader scope of information operations in Panama included denying the Noriega regime use of their own broadcasting facilities. A direct action mission removed key parts of the transmitters.[32] After-action reports indicate that this action should have had a much higher priority and been done very early in the operation.

An unusual technique, developed in real time, was termed the "Ma Bell Mission", or, more formally, capitulation missions. There were a number of Panamian strongpoints that continued to have telephone access. By attaching Spanish-speaking Special Forces personnel to a combat unit that would otherwise take the strongpoint by force, the Spanish-speaking personnel would phone the Panamian commander, tell him to put away his weapons and assemble his men on the parade ground, or face lethal consequences. Because of the heavy reliance on telephones, these missions were nicknamed "Ma Bell" operations. "During this ten day period, TF BLACK elements were instrumental in the surrender of 14 cuartels (strongpoints), almost 2,000 troops, and over 6,000 weapons without a single U.S. casualty. Several high-ranking cronies of Manuel Noriega who were on the "most wanted" list were also captured in Ma Bell operations.[32]

Psychological operations sometimes are intimately linked to combat operations, with the use of force driving home the propaganda mission. During the Panamanian operation, it was necessary. In Ft. Amador, the U.S. and Panamanian Defence Forces (PDF) shared an installation. There were U.S. dependents at the installation, but security considerations prevented evacuating them before the attack. Concern for U.S. citizens, and rules of engagement (ROE) that directed casualties be minimized, PSYOP loudspeaker teams, from the 1st Bn, 4th PSYOP Gp, became a key asset. When the PDF did not surrender after initial appeals, the message changed, with the tactical commander warning "that resistance was hopeless in the face of overwhelming firepower and a series of demonstrations took place, escalating from small arms to 105 mm howitzer rounds. Subsequent broadcasts convinced the PDF to give up. The entire process allowed Ft. Amador to be secured with few casualties and minimal damage."[33]

Sion had not altered its plan to capture the French throne for the House of Lorraine since its

failure during the Religious Wars. It met only with partial success under Weishaupt. The French

Revolution did dethrone the Bourbons, as Sion desired. The King of Jerusalem dynasty,

however, was unable to ascend the French throne after the Revolution destroyed the monarchy.

This intrigue, with its counter-intrigues, seemed to blend Rosicrucianism and Templarism.

Hence, conspiracy researchers have not understood the dual conflict within the French

Revolution and they have misconstrued the French Masonic conspiracy as a continuation of

Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati plot. On the other hand, opponents of conspiracy theory view the

Illuminati as non-existent after 1785, since in that year it was exposed by the Bavarian

government and ordered to disband. What actually happened is not immediately apparent. Sion

and the Temple, however, had other plans for the Illuminati on another continent in a new world.

He may have been one of several barbarian warlords and kings that joined forces with the Roman general Aetius against the Huns under Attila at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains in Gaul in 451.

In Revelation 17:3-5 the apostle John describes a vision, which Rev. J. R. Church in Guardians of the Grail believes is fulfilled in the Grail legend. The Whore of Babylon is holding in her hand a golden cup full of blasphemy. Church believes the cup is the blasphemous Holy Grail Another element of the Grail legend is the spear supposed to have pierced the side of Jesus, also known as the Spear of Longinus or the Spear of Destiny. Whoever possesses this spear, so the legend goes, will rule the world. The Merovingians, whose descendants are the Habsburg pretenders to the Austrian throne today, are in possession of the spear. It is on display in the Habsburg museum in Vienna, Austria~ No one, however, knows the location of the Holy Grail. At least no one is telling. Although heretical, this secret society should not be discounted, for it is alive and well today. In fact, in 1956, an Order calling itself the Prieure de Sion, or Priory of Sion, registered itself publicly for the first time with the French government. (Sion is French for Zion.) It is from this Order that the legend of the Holy Grail originated five centuries after Christ's death. Rev. Church remarks of this organization: This mysterious group is presently made up of over 9,000 men, including Protestants, Roman Catholics, Jews, and Moslems. The members of this secret sect should be considered unfaithful to their respective beliefs, for in reality they are neither Christian nor Catholic, they are neither Jew nor Moslem. Their doctrine sidesteps the basic tenets of those beliefs and replaces them with the teachings of their greatest prophet - whom they believe to be Buddha.2 From this secret order J. R. Church believes will come the Anti-Christ, for he writes, "Their ultimate goal is world government!'

William Jason Reso (born November 30, 1973) is a Canadian professional wrestler and actor. He is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he performs under the ring name Christian Cage.

The term Cajun originates from the 19th century and is derived from "les Acadiens", referring to the Acadians, who were French settlers in Canada. Over time, the pronunciation evolved, leading to the term "Cajun" as Americans struggled to pronounce "Acadien". The name "Cajun" is essentially an alteration of "Acadian", which traces back to the Greek word "Ἀρκαδία" (Arcadia), symbolizing an idealized rustic life. The Cajuns are descendants of French Canadians displaced from Acadia in the 18th century, and the earliest known use of the word "Cajun" dates back to the 1860s.

Fulcanelli’s main strategy, the key to unraveling the mystery, lies in an understanding of what he calls the “phonetic law” of the “spoken cabala,” or the “language of the birds.” This punning, multilingual wordplay can be used to reveal unusual and, according to Fulcanelli, meaningful associations between ideas. “What unsuspected marvels we should find, if we knew how to dissect words, to strip them of their bark and liberate the spirit, the divine light which is within,” Fulcanelli writes. He claims that in our day this is the natural language of the outsiders, the outlaws and heretics at the fringes of society. (See appendix A, “Fulcanelli on the Green Language,” for the complete text of this chapter.) 6 This spoken cabala was also the “green language” of the Freemasons (“All the Initiates expressed themselves in cant,” Fulcanelli reminds us) who built the art gothique of the cathedrals. “Gothic art is in fact the art got or art cot —χοτ—the art of light or of the spirit,” Fulcanelli informs us. Ultimately the “art got,” or the “art of light,” is derived from the language of the birds, which seems to be a sort of Ur-language taught by both Jesus and the ancients."

The Akkadian Empire (/əˈkeɪdiən/) or kingdom of Akkad/Agade[1] was an ancient kingdom, often considered to be the first known empire,[2] succeeding the long-lived city-states of Sumer.

What does the name Buffy mean?

The ancestors of the Buffy family brought their name to England in the wave of migration after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived in Staffordshire, where they were lords of the manor Colton.

Early Origins of the Buffy family

The surname Buffy was first found in Staffordshire where they were Lords of the Manor of Colton from very ancient times. At the time of the taking of the Domesday Book in 1086, a survey initiated by Duke William of Normandy after his conquest of England at Hastings in 1066, the village of Colton was held by Ascelin from tenant-in-chief Earl Roger. Conjecturally the Boughies are descended from this Norman noble. In similar speculations, some say there is a relationship between the early Bougheys and the great Lords Bohun, one of the signers of the Magna Carta and that the surname Boughey, Buffey, or Boffey was interchangeable with Bohun.

More recently, the parish of Forton in Staffordshire is home to a very distinguished branch of the this ancient family. "Aqualate Hall is a magnificent mansion, on the south side of a fine lake more than a mile in length, and half a mile in breadth, called Aqualate Meer; the house is surrounded by a spacious park and pleasure-grounds, adorned with plantations and some of the finest oak-trees in the county. This is the seat of Sir Thomas Fletcher Fenton Boughey, Bart., who is lord of the manor, and owner of nearly the whole parish."

The British throne is a continuation of the Davidic throne

Some adherents further claim that the British royal family is of lineal descent from the house of King David via a daughter of Zedekiah, the last king of Judah. According to this legend, the prophet Jeremiah, and his scribe, Baruch, escaped with "the king's daughters" (Jer. 41:10; 43:6) to Egypt. They later travelled to Ireland, where one of the surviving Judahite princesses, Tea Tephi, married a local High King of Ireland. From this fabled union the Davidic throne was supposedly preserved, having been transferred to Ireland, then Scotland, and later England, whence the British monarchs are alleged to have descended.[54] The Stone of Scone, which has been used in the coronations of Scottish, English, and British monarchs for centuries, is traditionally claimed to be the pillow stone on which the biblical patriarch, Jacob, slept, and the stone used in David's coronation.[2]

Michelle Trachtenberg was stalked to death, someone slipped a mickey in their drink and toxicology report was a coverup lie, stalked by the same network of people Juliet Landau and their mother Barbara Bain are members of and gave up on their beauty and intelligence for the Pope!

Barbara Bain has been co-hunting with daughter Juliet Landau and lied their ass off to Juliet the first born in the family they wouldn't be blood atoned when Barbara planned on having Juliet eliminated after their successful hunt for the third born Trudy to walk the earth in retarded irony. I find Juliet very beautiful, I want to be around them if they are single but I have been framed for a crime and it came from their network, I don't want to know their worthless secrets, I want to know their beautiful mind if they have one and are single.

When is not lust to want to be with a woman, Jesus Christ? I have no friends to talk to that legitimately believe in Jesus Christ as their savior and no pastor addresses this and In Touch ministries stalks to and forbade Charles Stanley from marriage, that is a ministry of murder bankrupting the government when it comes to tax write offs.

Juliet Rose Landau is all woman is not transgender but Barbara Bain their mother doubles over as their father because Barbara Bain is a 94 year old transgender:

Dr Chelsea Victoria Clinton (born February 27, 1980) is an American writer. She is the only child of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, a former U.S. Secretary of State and U.S. Senator.

Chelsea Elizabeth Manning[3] (born December 17, 1987) is an American activist and whistleblower.[4][5][6] She is a former United States Army soldier who was convicted by court-martial in July 2013 of violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after disclosing to WikiLeaks nearly 750,000 classified, or unclassified but sensitive, military and diplomatic documents.[7] She was imprisoned from 2010 until 2017, when President Barack Obama commuted her sentence.[8] A trans woman, Manning said in 2013 that she had had a female gender identity since childhood and wanted to be known as Chelsea Manning.[9]

Assigned in 2009 as an intelligence analyst to an Army unit in Iraq, Manning had access to classified databases. In early 2010, she leaked classified information to WikiLeaks and confided this to Adrian Lamo, an online acquaintance.[10] Lamo indirectly informed the Army's Criminal Investigation Command, and Manning was arrested in May 2010.[11] The material included videos of the July 12, 2007, Baghdad airstrike and the 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan; 251,287 US diplomatic cables;[12] and 482,832 Army reports that came to be known as the "Iraq War Logs"[13] and "Afghan War Diary".[14] WikiLeaks and its media partners published the material between April 2010 and April 2011.

Manning was charged with 22 offenses, including aiding the enemy, which was the most serious charge and could have resulted in a death sentence.[15] She was held at the Marine Corps Brig, Quantico, in Virginia, from July 2010 to April 2011, under prevention-of-injury status—which entailed de facto solitary confinement and other restrictions that caused domestic and international concern[16]—before being transferred to the Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where she could interact with other detainees.[17] In February 2013, she pleaded guilty to 10 of the charges.[18] The trial on the remaining charges began on June 3, 2013, and on July 30, she was convicted of 17 of the original charges and amended versions of four others, but acquitted of aiding the enemy.[19] She was sentenced to 35 years at the maximum-security US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth.[20][21] On January 17, 2017, Obama commuted Manning's sentence to the nearly seven years of confinement dating from her arrest in 2010.[8][22][23] Since her release, Manning has made her living through speaking engagements.[24]

In 2018, Manning challenged incumbent senator Ben Cardin for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate election in her home state of Maryland.[25] She received 6.1% of the vote; Cardin won renomination with 79.2%.[26]

From March 8, 2019, to March 12, 2020, Manning was jailed for contempt and fined $256,000 for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.[27][28]

We are faced with an extremely complex symbol, that of the lion. It is complex because, in view of the present bare state of the stone, we cannot be content with a single explanation. The Wise have given various titles to the lion, either to express the aspect of the substances they were processing or to emphasize a special and preponderant aspect of them. In the emblem of the Griffin (eighth motif), we saw that the lion, king of the earthly beasts, represented the fixed, basic part of a compound, which, when in contact with opposing volatility, lost the better part of itself. That is to say it lost the part which characterized its form, or, in hieroglyphic language, its head. This time we have to study the animal by itself and we do not know in what colour it was originally painted. Generally the lion is the sign of gold, both alchemical and natural. It thus represents the physico-chemical properties of these substances. But the texts give the same name to the matter which is receptive of the universal spirit, the secret fire, during processing of the solvent. In both these cases it represents power, incorruptability and perfection, these being further indicated clearly enough by the warrior with drawn sword, the mail-clad knight, displaying the king of the alchemical bestiary (pl. XV).

The first magnetic agent which is used to prepare the solventdesignated, by some, Alkahest-is called the green Lion, not so much because it is green in colour as because it has not yet acquired those mineral characteristics, which in chemistry distinguish the adult state from the nascent one. It is a green and sour fruit, compared with the red, ripe fruit. It is metallic youth on which Evolution has not yet worked, but which contains the latent germ of real energy, which will be called upon to develop later. It is arsenic and lead in respect of silver and gold. It is present imperfection from which the great future perfection will emerge; the rudiment of our embryo, the embryo of our stone, the stone of our Elixir. Certain Adepts, Basil Valentine among them, have called it green vitriol, in order to reveal its hot, burning and salty nature. Others have called it the Philosophers' Emerald, the Dew of May, the Herb of Saturn, the Vegetable Stone, etc. 'Our water takes the name of the leaves of all the trees, of the trees themselves, and of everything green in colour, in order to mislead the foolish,' says Master Arnold of Villanova.

As for the Red Lion, according to the Philosophers it is nothing more than the same matter, or'the Green Lion, brought by certain processes to this special quality which characterizes hermetic gold or the Red Lion. This has led Basil Valentine to give the following advice: 'Dissolve and nourish the real lion with the blood of the green lion, since the fixed blood of the red Lion is made from the volatile blood of the green one, which makes them both of the same nature.'

In Hebrew, the word saraph means "burning", and is used seven times throughout the text of the Hebrew Bible as a noun, usually to denote "serpent",[4] twice in the Book of Numbers, once in the Book of Deuteronomy, and four times in the Book of Isaiah.[5][6][7] The reason why the word for "burning" was also used to denote a serpent is not universally agreed upon; it may be due to a certain snake species' fiery colors, or perhaps the burning sensation left by its venomous bite. Regardless, its plural form, seraphim, occurs in both Numbers and Isaiah, but only in Isaiah is it used to denote an angelic being; likewise, these angels are referred to only as the plural seraphim – Isaiah later uses the singular saraph to describe a "fiery flying serpent", in line with the other uses of the term throughout the Tanakh.

It takes nothing to go with the crowd, but it takes everything to stand alone.

I stand with Christ rather than the world. How about you? Are you praying to the unknown God of a trinity, or do you understand that God YHWH is ONE?

THESE COMPLEMENTARY NORMS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS

OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS AS AN EXPRESSION

OF ITS CHARACTER AND CHARISM

1. The Society of Jesus intends always to take a very

close look at its own nature and mission, in order that,

faithful to its own vocation, it can renew itself and adapt

its life and its activities to the exigencies of the Church

and the needs of the men and women of our times,

according to its proper character and CHARISM.[1]

2 §1. The character and CHARISM of the Society of

Jesus arise from the Spiritual Exercises which our holy

father Ignatius and his companions went through. Led by

this experience, they formed an apostolic group rooted in

charity, in which, after they had taken the vows of chasti

ty and poverty and had been raised to the priesthood,

they offered themselves as a holocaust to God,[2] so that

serving as soldiers of God beneath the banner of the

cross and serving the Lord alone and the Church his

spouse under the Roman Pontiff, the vicar of Christ on

earth,[3] they would be sent into the entire world[4] for

the

defense and propagation of the faith and for the progress

of souls in Christian life and doctrine. [5]

The term carp (pl.: carp) is a generic common name for numerous species of freshwater fish from the family Cyprinidae, a very large clade of ray-finned fish mostly native to Eurasia. While carp are prized quarries and are valued (even commercially cultivated) as both food and ornamental fish in many parts of the Old World,[1] they are considered trash fish and invasive pests in many parts of Africa, Australia and most of the United States.[2][3]
