Saturday’s No Kings rally in St. Paul, the flagship event for nationwide protests, drew a massive crowd to the State Capitol in opposition to the policies of President Donald Trump.

Organizers say that more than 3,000 No Kings protests took place across the country, with solidarity rallies taking place on every continent except Antarctica.

The day’s events began with a trio of marches through St. Paul, all ending at the State Capitol, where around 100,000 protestors gathered, the Minnesota State Patrol tells Bring Me The News.

Streamed live online and on news networks, the rally featured appearances from prominent liberal voices, including Senator Bernie Sanders, Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Joan Baez, Tom Morello, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, and many others.

While the national network of protests targeted President Trump, the aftermath of Operation Metro Surge was in the foreground in St. Paul.

Before the main rally began at 2 p.m., “The Daily Show” co-creator and Minnesota native Lizz Winstead emceed the gathering, introducing a series of speakers and local musicians.

“We are the flagship rally of No Kings Day, simply because we showed the world how to do it, y’all,” Winstead said, opening the day’s event. “Why did they think they could mess with Minnesotans?”

From Winstead’s opening remarks through the end of the day, the Trump administration’s ICE surge was a persistent theme.

“When the wannabe dictator in the White House sent his untrained, aggressive thugs to do damage to Minnesota, it was you, Minnesota, who stood up for your neighbors, who stood up for decency, who stood up for kindness,” Gov. Walz said, before introducing Springsteen.

“And at this moment, that we are still in, when democracy itself seems to be at risk, it was Minnesota who said, not on our watch.”

That continued as Springsteen sang “Streets of Minneapolis,” his anti-ICE anthem that addresses the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom were shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Later in the day, Fonda read a long statement from the wife of Renee Good, which can be seen in its entirety in Bring Me The News’ live coverage of the event.

However, the broader political picture that guided the nationwide protest was not absent in St. Paul.

Sen. Sanders outlined a “darker vision” of America that he alleges is guiding President Trump’s policies.

“It is a vision which says that we must give up our democracy, that we are too stupid and inept to govern ourselves, and that we must put more and more power into the hands of one man,” Sanders said. “It is a vision that says we should accept an economy in which a handful of oligarchs have unbelievable wealth while the vast majority of people struggle to put food on the table.”

He went on to argue against the Trump administration’s war in Iran, calling for it to end and laying out his legislative plan to oppose the war.

“In the last election, Donald Trump pointed out, correctly, the huge amounts of money that had been wasted in wars that should have been spent rebuilding America,” Sanders said. “He campaigned as a peace candidate, and he promised no more forever wars. He lied.”

However, the event wasn’t entirely marked by discussion of Operation Metro Surge, war, and a troubled economy.

Many speakers and performers took the opportunity to cast the large gathering as a celebration of solidarity. That was most clear in musical performances, such as when Baez collaborated with the Twin Cities-based Singing Resistance and Brass Solidarity to sing “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round.”

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison echoed that hopeful note. “In 2026, inspiration lives in Minnesota,” he said, appearing alongside Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.

While hundreds of thousands marched throughout the country, President Trump largely remained quiet on Saturday.

He refrained from posting to his Truth Social platform until 4:45 p.m. CT, when he promoted a Fox News interview on the “importance of hitting Iran, HARD!!!” He then began posting frequently on a variety of topics, including TrumpRX, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and ending the Senate filibuster.

Before the rally began, state GOP chair Alex Plechash issued a statement that called the protest “pure political theater — a distraction from a failed DFL record. When you have nothing to show, you turn to fear, slogans, and spectacle.”

His statement accused the DFL of “importing East Coast liberals,” while decrying “higher property taxes, higher tab fees, and new taxes on everyday life.” In his statement, Plechash did not mention ICE, Operation Metro Surge, or projections that the protest would draw 100,000.

The Templars and the Assassins (aired March 2nd, 1993)

No matter what country you're in, or what language you speak: welcome, around the world, to the Hour of the Time. I'm your

host, William Cooper.

(Intro music: Long As I Can See The Light)107

Tonight folks, I come to you with a heavy heart. For another one, actually two, of my predictions...one has come true, one

is about to come true. The one that has come true involve the loss of life and the injury of over five hundred people. And of

course, I'm talking about the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City. As far back as 1989, and ever since, I've

been predicting major terrorist attacks upon the United States. The primary number one target: New York City. I have said it

so many times, and so many people attending my lectures, listening to my broadcasts, and who have read my book, are

familiar with it. I never, never enjoy being right when it involves the loss of life and human injury.

Nevertheless, it is another chalk mark on the board, and I remain the most accurate predictor of future world events in

the history of the world. But the one that is about to come true, and has not yet, is the prediction that I made that the United

States would send troops to Yugoslavia, and it appears that that is going to happen in the very near future. Anyway, we will

see, won't we, as we move into the New World Order, and all of these events are planned to take us directly into one-world

totalitarian socialist government. To all those people in New York who lost relatives, or who had friends or relatives that were

injured, I offer you my deepest compassion, sympathy, and I wish that I could tell you that that was the end of it, but I can tell

you that it is only the beginning. Unless people wake up, it will escalate and there will be more.

Don't forget, folks, Monday, March 15th, 8pm, LaFayette Hotel, 2223 El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego. I'll be there, I'll be

giving a three-hour presentation, entitled The Sacrificed King: On the Assassination of John F. Kennedy. In it, I will directly

connect to the occult worship of Mystery Babylon, the secret societies, and specifically to the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry,

which really is just the outward form of the old Knights Templar. And I also believe, have reason to believe, that the sovereign

and military order of the Knights of Malta was involved, which is just another branch of the old Templar order. So make sure

that you're there. Forty dollars is the admission fee unless you're a CAJI member, then the admission fee if thirty dollars. I

managed to negotiate a 25% discount with the people who are putting this on and who have invited me to speak. If you're not

a CAJI member, you can purchase advance tickets at the Controversial Bookstore in San Diego. If you are a CAJI member, you

must buy your tickets at the event. That's the only way, uh, that we can get you the discount. If you would like information on

this whole conference that lasts the whole weekend, there's a whole lot of Looney Tunes stuff going on there. There are some

good speakers. Uh, my workshop is, uh, Monday night, the last one of the whole conference, and it's not a workshop ticket, so

it's a separate event altogether. But you can call and find out about the whole thing in case you want to spend the whole

weekend. Call (619)492-8588, that's (619)492-8588, and we still donations to pay for this airtime, folks. C'mon, get out your

checkbooks and money orders and help us out here. Send your donation to Stan and make your checks and money orders to

WWCR, not to me, I don't want your money. It goes to pay for airtime, that's it, period. Send them to Stan, P.O. Box 889,

Camp Verde, Arizona, 86322. That's Stan, P.O. Box 889, Camp Verde, Arizona, 86322. Tell him Bill sent you (laughs), and

while you're at it, and even if you don't send a donation, write to Stan or call him and tell him you'd like to receive a packet of

information. He'd be glad to send it to you. If you'd like to call him, his number is (602)567-6109. That's (602)567-6109. Please

call him during normal waking hours. Stan's getting up there and he likes his sleep, and I don't blame him, so please don't call

him, uh, late in the evening or late at night. Let him have some, some of his own time. Call him during the day, during waking

hours or early evening, please. Thank you very much for those of you who are doing that. Those of you who are not, please

start.

Well, let's continue where we left off and, uh, this is about the society in the Middle East known as the Assassins, and

107 Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cosmo's Factory (album), 1970

106

we've covered quite a bit of their history already:

[Reading from A History of Secret Societies]:

But this secret society, [the] most successful of secret societies showed that its strength ultimately depended upon a

powerful leader. [Well,] Kia Mohammed was no such [leader]. [And] little by little it became obvious that his son, Hasan the

Hated, was the stronger personality. [Now remember, Kia Mohammed was the Old Man of the Mountain, and the mountain

lair was called: The Eagle's Nest.] Now Hasan, through some magnetic power, was able to capture the imagination of the

Assassins, soon having it believed that he himself was none other than the Power of All Powers, the Hidden Imam, who had

been mentioned by the first Grand Master; an incarnation of all greatness. So important was [Hasan] that he was the fountain

of power, and others only held a [very small] measure of authority because he allowed them to have it [and for no other

reason].

This final absurdity was lapped up by members who had been conditioned to believe in things which were not, shall we

say, exactly self-evident to the ordinary man. The doctrine of the all-powerful Invisible Imam was a part of Ismailism; and

Hasan was ready even during his early manhood to assume the role. But, since his father was able to assert himself by having

some two hundred and fifty of Hasan' followers murdered, he thought it wiser to hold his hand. In 1163 his chance came.

Mohammed died, and Hasan II issued an order to all Ismailis to collect below the castle of Alamut.

Never before had such an assembly of killers, fanatics and dedicated perverters of the truth been seen. Hasan, probably in

a state of megalomania, assured them that he had received a message from the Almighty that as from now, all the bond of

religion were loosed: everyone might do as he liked. [Later, in the modern age, we would hear that again as: “The whole of the

Law shall be: do as thou wilt.”] It was not necessary [he said] to keep up pretences. And, furthermore, he, Hasan, was none

other than the Hidden Imam. His word was law; and he was a form of the divinity, not merely relaying instructions from

above [but the divinity].

[Now] there was one further obstacle [folks]. According to Ismaili doctrine, the Hidden Imam was to be of the Family of

Hashim, the blood of Mohammed the Prophet. Such descendants were known and revered: and it was common knowledge

that Hasan II was not one of them. He overcame this difficulty by stating that he was not in fact the true son of Kia

Mohammed the Persian, but an adopted child of the Caliphial family of Egypt. This pretence was carried on for four years,

during which the crazed Hasan showed that he was not as mad as he might have been, by consolidating quite efficiently the

power of the cult. Eventually, he was assassinated by his brother-in-law, Namwar ('The Famous'). Now the father-to-son

succession seemed to be established. Mohammed II, son of Hasan II, began the cultivation of letters and sciences which was

to distinguish successive Grand Masters of the Order. It was a conceit of his, in the time of the greatest flowering of Persian

literature, that he [he] was supreme among poets and philosophers. He used his assassins [also] to drive this point well home.

The Imam Razi, one of the greatest thinkers of the time, refused to acknowledge the Assassins as the most advanced

theologians: so Mohammed II sent an envoy to him, promising either a swift death by dagger or a pension of several thousand

gold pieces a year. Suddenly [oh yes, suddenly!] the learned Imam's discourses seemed to lose their bite. One day, soon

afterwards, he was asked why he did not attack the Assassins as of old. “Because,” said the old man, with a nervous glance

around the assembly where a murderer might lurk, “their arguments are so sharp, and pointed [and indeed, they were].”

For thirty-five years Mohammed II ruled the Ismailis with a rod of iron; the only law was that of obedience to the

Assassin will. The observances of ritual Islam were abolished. A new star had arisen [Remember that star?]: a power to stiffen

resistance to Crusader penetration; Saladin, who was to become an implacable foe of the Assassins.

The Syrian branch of the cult grew in power, while the activities of the Eastern Assassins were carried out much more

quietly, with missionaries being sent to India, Afghanistan, even the remote Pamir Mountains which straddle China and

Russia, where even today adherents of the sect are to be found. Saladin had overcome the other Ismaili branch and original

home of Assassinism—Egypt—and restored the true faith to the people of the Nile. He now had enough booty for ten years'

war against the Crusaders in Palestine, and troops to spare. His first task was to unify the forces of Islam; and this he

determined to do by force if necessary. Sinan, Ancient of the Assassin cult in Syria, decided to oppose this terrible enemy of

107

the Fatimites. Three assassins fell upon Saladin and nearly killed him. This made the sect a priority target for the Saracen

chief. The Old Man of the Mountain, for his part [who was now Mohammed II], now unleashed a succession of fanatics, in

every kind of disguise, upon Saladin. By 1176, Saladin decided that an end must be put to the cult. He invaded their territory

and started to lay it waste, when the Assassin chief offered him freedom of action to fight the Crusaders, and no [no] further

attempt upon his life, if the cult were spared. [Now] these terms were agreed to, and henceforth no Assassin ever again

attempted to molest Sultan Saladin.

This period introduces Sinan as yet another strange and terrible Assassin leader. [For] he had decided that he was the

incarnation of all power and deity, and that he would live the part. Sinan was never seen to eat or drink, sleep, or even to spit.

[Now can you imagine this? A living, human being never seen to eat or drink, sleep, or even to spit.] Between sunrise and

sunset he stood on a pinnacle of rock, dressed in a hair-shirt, and preached his own power and glory to delighted Assassins.

[Have you ever worn a hair shirt? Have you ever stood on a pinnacle of rock between sunrise and sunset? I mean, every

sunrise and sunset, and wearing a hair shirt every sunrise and sunset? Well, folks, this is historic fact. This is not something

that someone made up.] Thus, at one and the same time, there were two chiefs of the Order, each busily telling his own

followers that he, and he alone, was God [was God!]. Hasan in Persia, Sinan in Syria, each commanded legions of devoted

killers, all committed by oath to follow his path.

When Mohammed II died, he was succeeded by his son Jalaludin, who completely reversed the orders that the Assassins

were to have no outward religious observances. [You see] he felt that he could do a great deal by adopting the cloak of

orthodox piety, and sent ambassadors far and wide to announce his maintenance of the true faith. He went so far as to curse

his predecessors publicly, in order to convince the incredulous that such a people as the Assassins could turn over a new leaf.

As a result of what would today be called a long-term and comprehensive propaganda plan, he was acknowledged as a

religious leader by half the orthodox monarchs of Islam, and (the first Assassin to be so styled) came to be termed Prince

Jalaludin.

Jalaludin died in 1203, after twelve years of leadership of the cult, handing over to Alaeddin ([or] Aladdin) [And you guys

thought that it was just a storybook tale, didn't you? Aladdin], a child of nine years of age. Weak, inefficient, stupid, Alaeddin

made little mark upon history. [Except in the classic tales of Arabia, the 1001 Arabbian Nights, for Aladdin in the 1001

Arabbian Nights is Aladdin, the leader of the Assassins.] It is said that his main activity was tending sheep, to which he was

passionately attached, and he even had a small hut built in a sheepfold, where he spent most of his time. [Aladdin] was

extraordinarily cruel, in spite of the contact with the sheep, and continued to terrorize in time-honored fashion any person,

great or small, who did not pay tribute or otherwise co-operate with the organization.

[And even today, those in power who are in contact with sheep most of the time (laughs) ultimately turn out to be same.

And we all know who the sheeple are, don't we?]

The Assassins' hands, ears and eyes were everywhere. Once fully initiated, a man might be sent to a place a thousand

miles away, to take up residence and live: waiting for the moment when orders came to him from Alamut to fulfill his fatal

destiny [and all the while in-between, furnishing intelligence to the central headquarters of the Assassins]. A story is told of

the court of the Shah of Khwarism, thus: “The Ismaili ambassador spent some time with the Vizier. One day, after a splendid

banquet when the wine which they had been drinking in violation of the law had mounted into their heads, the ambassador

told the Vizier by way of confidence that there were several Ismailis among the pages, grooms, guards and other persons who

were immediately about the Sultan. The Vizier, dismayed and at the same time curious to know who these dangerous

attendants were, besought the ambassador to point them out to him, giving him his napkin as a pledge that nothing evil

should happen to them. Instantly, at a sign from the envoy, five of the persons who were attendants in the chamber stepped

forth, avowing themselves to be concealed Assassins, ‘On such a day and at such an hour,’ said one of them, an Indian, to the

Vizier, ‘I might have slain thee without being seen or punished; and if I did not do so it was only because I had no orders from

my superiors.’ ”

The Vizier [of course] begged for his life. But word got the Sultan, who ordered the Assassins to be apprehended and

burned alive, and “the five chamberlains were cast on the flaming pyre, where they died exulting at being found worthy to

108

suffer in the service of the great Sheikh of the Mountain [so powerful was their devotion to the cult].” The Assassins had the

last laugh, for an order arrived immediately afterwards from Alamut, that the Shah must pay ten thousand pieces of gold as

compensation for each man killed—which he did [or be killed himself].

Another subsidiary activity which the Assassins delighted in was holding captive in Alamut of useful, rare and

distinguished personages who could be of value to them in educational, military or other spheres. [And] one was a physician,

another a famous astronomer, a third the greatest painter in Persia, who worked to the order of the chief alone.

The end of a chapter was near, for the Mongol hordes under Halaku, lieutenant of Chinghiz, were steadily destroying all

the civilization of Islam which lay in their inexorable path westwards. Rukneddin, son of Alaeddin, succeeded him and tried at

first to turn the Mongol tide. After a series of encounters, pitched battles, intrigues and counter-intrigues, Rukneddin was

taken. He played for time as long as he could, but was eventually murdered in his own turn by the victorious Mongol chief's

men. Assassin power in Persia was broken, and what remained of the members were ordered—none knows by whom—to

conceal their faith and await a signal that the cult was in full operation again. Alamut was silenced, and the Syrian

headquarters alone remained.

[And if it had not been for the refusal of the Christian kings in Europe to send ambassadors to make a treaty, or a new

Crusade, with the Mongol horde, then all of Islam would have been decimated. But it was not, for the Christian kings, even

though they would have liked to regain their foothold in the Middle East, had problems of their own and ignored the Mongol

emissaries.]

It was a long time until the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt was able to overcome the Mongol thrust. In 1260, however, he

carried the banners of Islam victoriously against them, and restored the fortress of Alamut and other properties to the

Assassins, who were strongly surviving underground. They soon found that they had exchanged one master for another, for

the Egyptians were now employing them for their own purposes [and required them to undergo a new initiation, that of the

ancient Egyptian Mysteries of Babylon]. Ibn Batuta, the great traveler of the fourteenth century, found them well entrenched

in their former strong places, being used as the “arrows of the Sultan of Egypt with which he reaches his enemies.”

The supposed suppression of the creed which followed the Mongol destruction did not in fact take place. Copying each

other, historians (laughs) have asserted that Assassinism died six hundred years ago [nothing could be further from the truth].

Now and again, however, fresh facts of their continued existence still come to light. In the eighteenth century an Englishman,

the British Consul at Aleppo in Syria, was at pains to make this better known: “Some authors assert,” he writes, “that these

people were entirely extirpated in the thirteenth century by the Tartars . . . but I, who have lived so long in this infernal place,

will venture to affirm that some of their spawn still exists in the mountains that surround us; for nothing is so cruel, barbarous

and execrable that is not acted, and even gloried in, by these cursed [Assassins].”

The Assassins were widely dispersed throughout Asia. The rise of the Thugs, the secret society of assassination of India,

followed the Mongol invasion of Persia. Indeed, at least one of the Thug recognition-signals (Ali bhai Salam!) indicates

salutations to Ali, the descendant of the Prophet most greatly revered by the Assassins. Ismailis, not all of them recognizing

the one chief, reside in places as far apart as Malaya, East Africa and Ceylon (Sri Lanka). They would not necessarily feel that

they are Assassins in the same sense as the extremists who followed the old Sheikhs of the Mountains; but at least some of

them revere the descendants of the Lords of Alamut to the extent of deification.

The modern phase of Ismailism dates from 1810, when the French consul at Aleppo found that the Assassins in Persia

recognized as their divinely-inspired chief a reputed descendant of the Fourth Grand Master of Alamut, who then lived at

Kehk, a small village between Isfahan and Tehran. This Shah Khalilullah “was revered almost like a god and credited with the

power of working miracles . . . the followers of Khalilullah would, when he pared his nails, fight for the clippings; the water in

which he washed became holy water.”

The sect next appear to the public gaze through an odd happening. In 1866, a law case was decided in Bombay. There is

in that city a large community of commercial men known as Khojas: “A Persian,” the record tells us, “Aga Khan Mehalati (i.e., a

109

native of Mehelat, a place situated near Khek) had sent an agent to Bombay to claim from the Khojas the annual tribute due

from them to him, and amounting to about £ 10,000. The claim was resisted, and the British court was appealed to by Aga

Khan. Sir Joseph Arnold investigated his claim. The Aga proves his pedigree, showing that he descended in a direct line from

the fourth Grand Master of Alamut, and Sir Joseph declared it proved; and it was further demonstrated by the trial that the

Khojas were members of the ancient sect of the Assassins, to which sect they had been converted four hundred years before

by an Ishmaelite missionary, who composed a work which has remained the sacred book of the Khojas.”

In the First Afghan War, the then Aga Khan contributed a force of light cavalry to the British forces. For this he was

awarded a pension. Hitti, in his History of the Arabs, notes (p. 448, 1951 edition) that the Assassin sect, known as Khojas and

Malwas, gave over a tenth of their revenues to the Aga Khan, who “spends most of his time as a sportsman between Paris and

London.”

The influence of the new form of organization and training, as well as initiatory techniques, of the Assassins upon later

societies has been remarked by a number of students [and I have found in my research that it's absolutely true]. That the

Crusaders knew a good deal about the Ismailis is shown from the detailed descriptions of them which survive. S. Ameer Ali,

an Orientalist of considerable repute, goes further in his assessment: “From the Ismailis the Crusaders borrowed the

conception which led to the formation of all the secret societies, religious and secular, of Europe. The institutions of Templars

and Hospitallers; the Society of Jesus, founded by Ignatius Loyola, composed by a body of men whose devotion to their cause

can hardly be surpassed in our time; the ferocious Dominicans, the milder Franciscans—may all be traced either to Cairo or

to Alamut. The Knights Templar especially, with their system of grand masters, grand priors and religious devotees, and their

degrees of initiation, bear the strongest analogy to the Eastern Ismailis.”

[We've got to take a break, folks. I'll be right back, right after this short pause.]

(Interlude music: Moonglow)108

[In the year 1110, a mysterious order called the Prieuré de Sion appeared upon the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This

mysterious secret order, the Prieuré de Sion, was eventually to crown the first king, the first Christian king of Jerusalem.

When they appeared in the Temple Mount in 1110, they recruited nine knights to comb, to scour the Temple Mount, the

passages and caverns and tunnels beneath for the ancient remains of the relics of their religion.]

Later in A.D. 1118, nine knights, [supposedly] concerned for the welfare of pilgrims to the Holy Land, bound themselves

together in the creation of a knightly Order. [This order, again existing of nine knights, just like the original nine knights, were

commissioned by the Prieuré de Sion.] In under two hundred years [folks] this organization had become one of the most

powerful single entities—if not the greatest—[power ever to exist] in Europe. [They were the first international bankers. The

first that ever existed in the world.] A few years later it was utterly destroyed. [They say, however, as you're going to find out,

they were not destroyed at all, but merely driven underground.] The zeal of religion, the conditioning which made men

support a dedicated cause with all of their might, was likewise the instrument of their destruction. Nothing less than religious

fervor could have smashed the Order: as nothing less could have created it.

[And folks, you're going to find it difficult to believe, but the rise of this order and destruction, at least publically, of this

order has such a great bearing on events today that you could say that everything that has happened since has been brought

about by this one series of acts.]

Were the Knights Templar devil-worshippers, secret Saracens indulging in obscene orgies? Did they adore a head, spit on

the Cross, use the word, 'Yallah' [which means literally in Arabic,] (O Allah!) in their rituals? Did they learn their ways from

the terrible sect of the Assassins?

[Well, yes folks, they did. And they are the link—at least, in that day, would have been considered the modern link—

between the ancient Mystery Religion of Babylon and Europe. For the religion had come to Europe long, long before the

Templars ever emerged, and made their appearance in the ancient worship of the sun by the Druids and the Celts, and the

tribes, the Germanic tribes who had made their way thousands of years ago from the Middle East up through Asia, and across

Russia and into Europe. They brought Mystery Babylon with them, and practiced it as what we now know of today as the

pagan religion. And Stonehenge is actually an ancient Babylonian temple of the sun. And you will find how all this connects

later.]

[But the origin of this was lost, and the ability to control large numbers of people, by the use of the hidden knowledge of

the ages, was lost. It wasn't until the Knights Templar bought [sic] and brought the Mystery Religion of Babylon to Europe,

that the ancient, ancient worship of the sun again took hold. Amongst the Christian countries, in the guise of Christianity,

which was itself at that time—I'm not talking about the teachings of Christ now, I'm talking about the perversion of the

teachings of Christ—the melding of the teachings of Christ with the ancient worship of the sun, the Mystery Religion of

Babylon which became the Catholic church was indeed another branch of the ancient Mystery Religion of Babylon. And some

of you out there may be confused from all of this.]

[Now, folks,] the original objective of the Order [of the Temple—Knights Templar], which immediately because the

subject of applause throughout Christendom, was to combine the two functions of monk and knight, to live chastely and fight

the Saracents with the sword and spirit. The Sweet Mother of God [at least outwardly they say] was chosen as their patroness;

and they bound themselves to live in accordance with the rules of St. Augustine, electing as the their first leader Hugh de

Payens. [Now] King Baldwin II granted him a part of his palace to live in and gave them a grant toward its upkeep. [Now the

part of the palace they lived in was an ancient mosque, which was built upon the actual location of the old Temple of

Solomon, on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.]

[The Knights Templar] vowed to consecrate their swords, arms, strength and lives to the defense of the mysteries of the

Christian faith; to pay complete and utter obedience to the orders of the Grand Master; to fight whenever commanded,

regardless of perils, for the faith of Christ as they understood it. Among the vows taken which were forbade their yielding

even a foot of land to the enemy [whoever the enemy was] and not to retreat, even if attacked in the proportion of three to

one. They choose the name militia temple—Soldiers of the Temple—after the temple supposedly built by Solomon in

Jerusalem, near which they had been assigned quarters by the King. [But in reality had nothing to do with the Temple of

Solomon.]

Some say that the Templars derived their idea of their Order from that of the Hospitallars, who looked after Catholic

pilgrims to Palestine; for there was little hospitality to be had from the native Orthodox Christians of those parts. Others hold

that there was an even older Order from which they received their inspiration. No reliable evidence is, at this point however,

available. [According to the "establishment" historians, although for those who really, really research the true history of the

secret orders, and specifically the Knights Templars, there's a direct connection to the Assassins and the Roshaniya.]

Although the Templars were so poor than two men had to share a horse [they say, but that is not true at all] (and their

Seal commemorated this decades after they became one of the richest communities of their time), they soon attracted

favorable notice and support. [Now, the two knights riding a horse was a symbol of sacrifice. It denoted their vows of poverty.

In truth, each knight now only had a horse, but he had what they called a yeoman. He had a spare horse, he had a pack horse,

and he had several horses in reserve, and a whole train of servants. But the Knights Templar were the first true—as we know

it in modern times, in modern times there were others before, but they were the first true in modern times—and by modern,

111

I'd say, from the time that Europe escaped from the old tribal of paganism. In other words in 1110, I consider that to be

beginning of the modern age. Although historians may disagree with me, it's the beginning of everything that has happened

since, and everything that's happening today can be traced right to the door of the Knights Templar, and that's why I say that.

They were the first modern order to practice what we now know as true Communism. They were the ones who brought

international Socialism into Europe, which has always been the tenet and the creed of the Mystery Religion of Babylon.] Only

one year after their establishment, Fulk, Count of Anjou, who had come to Jerusalem on a pilgrimage, joined as a married

member and gave them an annual grant of thirty pounds of silver. This example was soon followed by other devout Western

princes.

For the first nine years of their existence, the knights continued to live a life of chastity and poverty in accordance with

their vows. They adopted a striped black and white banner, called the Beauséant, after their original piebald horse; and this

word also became their battle-cry. Special raiment they had none, and they wore whatever clothes were given to them by the

pious. But little by little, as one writer puts it, they were to become “haughty and insolent”.

[And the black and white banner, the translation of the meaning of which was for the, again, exoteric, for the real

meaning of the black and white banner was the meaning of the androgynous god, the positive and the negative, the black and

the white, the yin and the yang, the male and the female combined into one, and that was the real meaning of the black and

white banner. And it's carried forth today on the floor of many of the temples of Freemasonry where the black and white

checkered pattern exists, and in one famous cathedral in Europe built by the Knights Templar. They disguised their esoteric

religion in an exoteric manner that would be accepted by Christianity.]

Baldwin of Jerusalem, who had been a prisoner in the hands of the Saracens and knew of their disunity, realized at about

this time that Islam must eventually unite against the Christian invasion, and the decided that the Templars who prove ideal

allies in the battles which were to come. In 1127, therefore, he sent two Templars with his strong recommendation to the

Pope, applying for official recognition of the Order by the Holy See.

[And this is the first time that the Templars even were considered to be close to the center of religion, the Christian

religion in that day, the Catholic church, the Pope. For they were not commissioned as a Christian order; they were not

commissioned by the Pope or by the church, and this is a big myth that the Knights Templar started out to protect the church

and to protect the pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. They were established first, primarily, and foremost as a branch of the

ancient order of the Religion of Mystery Babylon. And it's indicative of the strategies that they've used since to endear

themselves to whatever the established power, or the beliefs of the majority of the people might be.]

[When they went to see the Pope,] they had an introduction to St. Bernard himself, the Abbot of Clairvaux, who was

known to be admirer of theirs, and who was a nephew of one of their envoys. Then the Grand Master himself arrived in

Europe, and received the eulogistic opinion of the Abbot: “They go not headlong into battle, but with care and foresight,

peacefully, as true children of Israel. But as soon as the fight had begun, they rush without delay upon the foe . . . and know no

fear . . . one has often put to flight a thousand; two, ten thousand . . . gentler than lambs and grimmer than lions; theirs is the

mildness of monks and the valor of the knight.” [Now folks, this was a strong recommendation, and this testimonial was part

of the campaign of the Templars in their efforts at recognition of the Pope. All of you who have thought that they began as a

religious order in the first place are so way off base that it's pathetic. And neither were the Jesuits a religious order in the first

place, but we'll get that together in another broadcast.] [But] on the 31st [of] January [in the year] 1128, the Master appeared

before the Council of Troyes. This formidable body consisted of the Archbishops of Rheims and Sens, ten bishops and a

number of abbots—including St. Bernard himself - presided over by the Cardinal of Albano, the Papal legate. They were

approved; and Pope Honorius chose for them a white mantle, completely plain. The red cross was added by order of Pope

Eugenius III in 1146. [And see, you thought the Templars thought of this. Nope not at all. This was mandated by two Popes:

first, the white mantle, completely plain; and then later the red cross was added by Pope Eugenius III in 1146.]

Hugh de Payens now took his delegation through France and England, and collected a number of recruits. Gifts and

grants were showered upon the Order; lands, rents and arms were forthcoming from all quarters. Richard I of England was

enthusiastic about them. By 1133, King Alfonso of Aragon and Naverre, who had fought the Spanish Moors in twenty-nine

112

113

battles, had willed his country to them; although when the Moors finally laid him low his nobles prevented the Templars from

claiming their rights. [Nevertheless, this was of great honor. In fact, to my knowledge and to our research into history, it never

had before been done.]

In 1129 the Master, accompanied by three hundred knights, recruited from the noblest houses of Europe, led a huge train

of pilgrims to the Holy Land. It was at this time that the Templars formed part of the Christian contingent which, allied with

the Assassins, tried to take Damascus. [And it wasn't the first time nor the last that the Christian Knights Templar, or

supposedly Christian Knights Templar (they really weren't Christian at all) were allied with the Assassins.] Were they (as the

Orientalist von Hammer alleges)109

connected in some secret way with the Assassins? [Yes, our research shows that it is a

historical fact. And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater

power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities

of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of

organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and

[folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

The balance of Western opinion is against this contention; more particularly because, one feels from wide reading of

historians, great sympathy is felt for the cruelly treated and a arbitrarily dispossessed Templars. Thus Keightley, who made a

close study of the Order those who would claim that the Templars were an Assassin branch [but, when you do research into

the (laughs) associations and memberships of Keightley, you'll find that Keightley was himself a Knight Templar. And he said:]

“When, nearly thirty years after their institution, the Pope gave them permission to wear a cross on their mantle, like the

rival Hospitaller Order, no color could present itself to well suited to those who daily and hourly exposed themselves to

martyrdom as that of blood, in which there was so much of what was symbolical. With respect to internal organization it will,

we apprehend, be always found that this is for the most part of the growth of time and the product of circumstances; and it

always nearly the same where these last are similar.”110

[And you find this kind of rhetoric, semantics, all throughout the writings of those who wish to cover the true origin and

the true meaning of Mystery Babylon.]

The famous question of the three thousand gold pieces paid by the Syrian branch of the Assassins to the Templars is

another matter which has [of course] never been settled. One opinion holds that this money was given as a tribute to the

Christians; the other, that it was a secret allowance from the larger to the small organization. [Which it really was as the

Assassins wished to expand their control and remember their original goal was to take over the entire world by the systematic

infiltration and control of each individual country.] Those who think that the Assassins were fanatical Moslems, and therefore

would not form any alliance with those who to them were infidels, should be reminded that to the followers of the Old Man of

the Mountains only he was right, and the Saracens who were fighting the Holy War for Allah against the Crusaders were as

bad as anyone else who did not accept the Assassin doctrine.

[And it is true today: “If you are not one of us, you are nothing.” “The ends justify the means.” “The strength of our Order

exists in the fact that we manifest ourselves under many different names and many different occupations, and sometimes even

seem to oppose ourselves. But at the highest level, we are of one mind.” And I could go on, and on (laughs), and on, and you all

know that I could go on and on and on. For I have studied this for so many years that I eat, drink and sleep it. Oh yes.]

[Well, eventually] grave charges against the Templars during the Crusades included the allegation that they were fighting

for themselves alone. More than one historical incident bears this out. The Christians had besieged the town of Ascalon in

1153, and were engaged upon burning down the walls with large piles of inflammable materials. Part of the wall fell after a

whole night of this burning. The Christian army was about to enter, when the Master of the Temple (Bernard de Tremelai)

109 Chevalier Joseph von Hammer, The History of the Assassins: Derived from Oriental sources, 1835

110 Thomas Keightley, Secret Societies of the Middle Ages, 1837

claimed the right to take the town himself. This was because the first contingent into a conquered town had the whole spoils.

As it happened, the garrison rallied and killed the Templars, closing the breach. There seem good grounds for believing that

the power which they had gained caused the Templars to devote their efforts as much to their own Order's welfare as to the

cause of the Cross, in spite of their tremendous sacrifices for that cause. Having no loyalty to any territorial chief, they obeyed

their Master alone, and hence no softening political pressure could be put upon them. [Well,] this might well have led to an

idea that they were an invisible super-state [and that is exactly the fact]; and this does show some similarity with the invisible

empire of the Assassins. If none can deny their bravery, their high-handedness and exclusivity, in less than a hundred and fifty

years after their founding gave them the reputation of considering themselves almost a law unto themselves.

[No longer reading]

And now, dear listeners, we get into the meat, the direct connection between the historical events and the events that are

happening today. Don't miss even one episode of this series.

Good night, and may God bless each and every one of you.

Ivana Trump Death Just Days Before Trump Family Members Testify in NY Probe

Published

Jul 15, 2022 at 09:40 AM EDT

Days after the death of his former wife Ivana Trump, ex-president Donald Trump and the couple's children are expected to testify in a civil investigation into his business practices.

A court-ordered agreement on June 8 had called for Trump, his daughter Ivanka and son Donald Jr. to appear on Friday as part of the probe into the Trump Organization conducted by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing and called the investigation by James, a Democrat, politically motivated.

But it adds to his legal woes and comes during the January 6 committee hearings into the riot at the U.S. Capitol carried out by his supporters in a bid to overturn the 2020 election.

The Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, are expected to go on trial later this year on tax fraud charges following a parallel investigation by the Manhattan district attorney's office.

If James wins the case she has been investigating for three years, she could seek an order winding up the Trump Organization.

Next week's hearing would come soon after the former president's 73-year-old ex-wife, Ivana, was found dead at her New York City home on Thursday afternoon, following a report of cardiac arrest. A senior New York City official told NBC News that she was found on the spiral staircase of her apartment by authorities when they arrived.

Why Ivana Trump Was Buried at Bedminster Golf Course: 3 Theories

Portrait of Margaret Hartmann

By Margaret Hartmann, senior editor for Intelligencer who has worked at New York since 2012

Ivana Trump, President Donald Trump’s first wife, died on July 14, 2022 at the age of 73, owing to injuries she suffered in an accidental fall on the “grand curving staircase” at her Upper East Side townhouse. Her funeral drew about 400 people and featured a gold-hued coffin, Secret Service agents, and loving remembrances from her three children, Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. Then this icon of ’80s glamour and New York tabloid drama was laid to rest … at a New Jersey golf course?

Many found the decision to bury Ivana at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster puzzling. She is the first person to be buried at the (then former) president’s New Jersey property, and the ground had to be consecrated so she could have a traditional Catholic burial.

AI Overview

SoSA (South of Saint Anthony) is a vibrant, historic neighborhood in Midtown Oklahoma City located near the SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital. Formerly known as the "cottage district," the area now features high-end modern townhomes, apartments, and Red Andrews Park, offering a walkable, urban lifestyle near downtown.

Alfred Paul Murrah (October 27, 1904 – October 30, 1975) was a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit and previously was a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma and the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma.

Education and career

Born on October 27, 1904, in Tishomingo, Indian Territory (Oklahoma), Murrah received a Bachelor of Laws in 1928 from the University of Oklahoma College of Law. He entered private practice in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma from 1928 to 1929, then continued his practice in Seminole, Oklahoma and Oklahoma City from 1929 to 1937.[1]

Federal judicial service

Murrah was nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 8, 1937, to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma and the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, to a new joint seat authorized by 49 Stat. 1804. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on February 25, 1937, and received his commission on March 3, 1937. His service terminated on September 9, 1940, due to his elevation to the Tenth Circuit.[1]

Murrah was nominated by President Roosevelt on August 5, 1940, to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacated by Judge Robert E. Lewis. He was confirmed by the Senate on August 29, 1940, and received his commission on September 4, 1940.[1] He served as Chief Judge and as a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States from August 7, 1959 to May 1, 1970.[2][3] He served as the Chair of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation from 1968 to 1975. He assumed senior status on May 1, 1970. He was the last appeals court judge who continued to serve in active service appointed by President Roosevelt. He served as Director of the Federal Judicial Center from 1970 to 1974. His service terminated on October 30, 1975, due to his death in Oklahoma City.[1]

Federal building

Murrah was the namesake of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, a federal office complex which was destroyed in the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995.[4]

Origins

The Judge was an ancient and legendary demon brought forth to the dimension of Earth to rid of the plague of humanity. He was named the Judge for he had arrived to separate the righteous from the wicked, and burn the righteous down.[1]

An army was sent against the Judge. Although most of the warriors died, the army was finally able to dismember the Judge, but not to kill him. The pieces were placed in iron boxes and scattered to be buried "in every corner of the Earth." For hundreds of years, he remained aware of his status.[1]

Return

To celebrate Drusilla's return to health in 1998, Spike had all the pieces of the Judge brought to Sunnydale as a present for his sire's coming out party. Drusilla planned to reassemble the Judge and unleash Armageddon. Spike's minions succeed in reuniting all the pieces and taking them to Spike and Dru's lair, except for one of the arms, which Dalton lost to Buffy Summers. At the Bronze, Buffy opened the box and the Judge's arm immediately attacked her.[1]

Fearing that the Judge would be too dangerous to fight, Angel decided to take a ship to hide the arm in Nepal, thus leaving the Judge incomplete, which would have ended Dru's plot to reawaken the demon. However, Dalton and Spike's minions managed to steal the arm back from Buffy and Angel.[1]

The Judge's reawakening.

With the pieces complete, the Judge was reassembled before an ecstatic Drusilla. The Judge showed contempt for her and Spike as the two vampires shared affection, a quality considered by the Judge to be human. The Judge wanted to kill them until Spike reminded him that he and Dru had brought him back. Deeming them helpful for his purposes, the Judge agreed to leave the two unharmed. The Judge then turned on their minion Dalton, whom the Judge also deemed "full of feeling" due to Dalton's love for knowledge. As he had just been awakened, the Judge wasn't at his full power and needed to touch his victims to incinerate them, as he demonstrated on Dalton, much to Drusilla's delight.[1]

Buffy and Angel found themselves in mortal danger when they went to the vampires' lair in the Bric & Broc factory, only to find the Judge already assembled and aware of their presence. Buffy and Angel barely escaped, Buffy having already felt the Judge's deadly power when she kicked the demon. The two hid in Angel's apartment, where they shared an intimate encounter, which caused Angel to lose his soul. Meanwhile, the Judge rested, waiting for his powers to return to full strength.[1]

The then soulless Angel returned to the factory, where the Judge attempted to incinerate him. Although, he was unable to do so, as Angel was "clean of humanity."[2] While it had been established that vampires were capable of having some humanity in them, the Judge's powers did not work on Angel, as he was incapable of feeling love or affection (unlike Spike and Dru or Dalton)[1] and was a true creature of evil.[2]

Destruction

“What's that do?”

―The Judge's last words, on a rocket launcher[src]

Angel and Drusilla leap as the Judge is blown apart

With his powers restored, the Judge was escorted by Angel and Dru to start a massacre at a local mall. With a mere gesture, the Judge incinerated a man and then attacked a large number of people. The Judge's power bounced from one human to the next, creating a web of victims.[2]

Before the victims could die, Buffy struck the Judge with a crossbow bolt. The Judge reminded Buffy that no weapon forged could hurt him, prompting Buffy to equip a rocket launcher and fire it at him. Unfamiliar with modern weaponry, the Judge merely stood as the rocket flew towards him. Angel and Dru escaped, while the Judge was blown apart. The pieces of the Judge were then picked up by the Scoobies, who proceeded to dispose of them, taking care to keep them separate.[2]

The Knights Templar

From A Brief Historical Description by Professor Sir John Baker QC LLD FBA

Master of the Bench

After losing the Holy Land in the 1290s, the order of the Temple fell into a decline. The knights were dubiously accused of improprieties, and in 1312 their order was dissolved. Although the pope granted their estates to the Knights Hospitaller of St John of Jerusalem, King Edward II seized the New Temple as forfeit to the Crown. Nevertheless, the consecrated portion was conceded to the Hospitallers, and the remainder was sold to them later.

Merchants from Amalfi in southern Italy were given permission by the Egyptian Fatimid Caliph al-Mustansir Billah (r. 1036–1094) to build a monastery in Jerusalem, near the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The monastery, known as the abbey of St Mary of the Latins (to distinguish them from local Syriac Orthodox Church hierarchy), was served by the Order of Saint Benedict and took in Christian pilgrims travelling to visit the Christian holy sites. The increase in the number of pilgrims led the Benedictine monks to establish two hospitals in the late 1060s, one for men and one for women, with the former known as the Hospital of St John. They did this with the support of a wealthy Amalfian named Mauro of Pantaleone. In the early 1070s the hospital was visited by Archbishop John of Amalfi during his pilgrimage. In later centuries, to help raise money in Europe, the Order of St John made claims that the hospital had been founded more than a century before Christ by the high priest Menelaus and the Greek King Antiochus of Jerusalem, with financing from Judas Maccabeus, and that it was first headed by Saint Stephen and had been visited by Christ and the Apostles. A historian of the Order in the 13th century wrote that this version was not true.[5][6] In any case, the Hospitallers rose to fame and prestige in a short amount of time.[7]

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

And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and [folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

https://viefag.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/transcripts-of-william-cooper-s-mystery-babylon-series.pdf

By the time of the success of the First Crusade in 1099, the Hospital of St John was already well known among pilgrims and was regarded as a separate organization from the monastery of St Mary. The monastic brothers at the hospital saw it as their duty to provide the best possible treatment to the poor. They were given an endowment by Godfrey of Bouillon, the leader of the First Crusade, before he died in 1100.

The Priory of Sion is an initiatory Order of chivalry, founded on July 15 1099 in Jerusalem, by Godfrey of Bouillon, at the Abbey "Our Lady of Mount Sion" as "Order of our Lady of Mount Sion."

http://www.prieure-de-sion.com/

The Order – A Brief History

The origins of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem date back to the First Crusade, when its leader, Godfrey de Bouillon, liberated Jerusalem. As part of his operations to organize the religious, military and public bodies of the territories newly freed from Muslim control, he founded the Order of Canons of the Holy Sepulchre. According to accounts of the Crusades, in 1103 the first King of Jerusalem, Baldwin I, assumed the leadership of this canonical order, and reserved the right for himself and his successors, as agents of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, to appoint Knights to it, should the Patriarch be absent or unable to do so.

On July 14, 1523, the Negrona left Venice, arriving a month later at the island of Cyprus. At Cyprus, one Diego Manes and his servant, along with several Cypriot officials, boarded ship for the rest of the voyage to Haifa. Diego Manes was a Commander of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem.7 Since 1312, the Hospitallers had held title to the vast wealth of the Knights Templar. They had been drawing upon these assets to defend the Roman economy against Islamic marauders in the east. But when the Turks attacked the Hospitallers’ headquarters on the Island of Rhodes, the assets were frozen by the pope and his former pupil, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles. No assistance in any form was forthcoming from either party. Consequently, in December 1522, the Hospitallers had no choice but to surrender Rhodes and retreat to what would become their final domicile, Malta. T h e message was clear. Now that Luther’s German-language New Testament was in print, Protestantism loomed a greater menace to Rome than Islam ever did. It is possible that in a Jerusalem-bound ship named Negrona, Commander Diego Manes turned over the litanies, lists, secret codes, formulae, cabalah, and other portable assets comprising the Knights Templar resources to Iñigo.

The Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God, officially the Hospitaller Order of the Brothers of Saint John of God (abbreviated as OH), are a Catholic religious order founded in 1572. In Italian they are also known commonly as the Fatebenefratelli, meaning "Do-Good Brothers", and elsewhere as the "Brothers of Mercy", the "Merciful Brothers" and the "John of God Brothers". The order carries out a wide range of health and social service activities in 389 centres and services in 46 countries.

The Counter-Reformation (Latin: Contrareformatio), also sometimes called the Catholic Revival,[1] was the period of Catholic resurgence that was initiated in response to, and as an alternative to or from similar insights as, the Protestant Reformations at the time. It was a comprehensive effort arising from the decrees of the Council of Trent.[2]

AI Overview

Cases involving blackmailed judges involve extortion attempts, often stemming from personal scandals, illegal employment, or corruption allegations. Notable examples include a UK cleaner jailed for demanding £20,000 from immigration judges, and a Pakistani judge removed after alleging he was coerced into convicting a former Prime Minister. Such cases often involve secret recordings or threatening letters.

Al Jazeera

UK Cleaner Case (2006-2007): A cleaner, Ms. Driza, was initially jailed for 30 months for attempting to blackmail an immigration judge (Judge J) and her partner, Mr. Khan, by threatening to expose that she was employed illegally and had access to their private lives.

Controversy and Appeals: During the case, allegations of "drug- and sex-fuelled" lives were made against the judges, leading to a formal investigation into their conduct. Though initially jailed, Driza’s convictions for blackmail were later challenged, and she was cleared on some counts.

Pakistani Judge Case (2019): Judge Arshad Malik was removed from office after a video surfaced where he allegedly admitted to being "blackmailed" into convicting former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of corruption, claiming a lack of evidence.

Legal Definitions: Blackmail is treated as a severe form of extortion. It involves threatening to reveal private information to extort money, property, or actions, which can spark investigations into the judge's own misconduct, explains attorney Scott Henry in this article.

seats and media editor's desks are not simply "crazed" nor are

such intensely publicized ritual murders merely superstitious

sacrifices to some kooky devil-god. The Son of Sam murders

were a brilliantly orchestrated ritual whose ceremonial

aspects were as precise and detailed as the internal workings of

a clock.

This theater of death began as a ritual for the cult-members

themselves and ended as a giant magical ceremony for the

processing of the entire nation, because in the worldwide

broadcast of the Son of Sam murders was also broadcast the

magical symbols of the "Wicker Man" and of Eliphas Levy (see

for example Newsweek, Aug. 22, 1977, p. 19).

This is the alchemical psychodrama for the transformation of

humanity. We are processed just by reading or watching "the

news," associating death and terror, power and potency, with

an old demonic symbol by a 19th century adept of Black magic

whose illustration of the hermaphroditic demon of the Knights

Templars, Baphomet, is perhaps the most widely recognized

occult symbol in modern history.

Readers of the New York Daily News learned to associate "The

Wicked King of Wicker" with murder and terror. At the thought

of King Wicker, millions felt fear. This fear was imprinted on

their minds. This is the same control process hundreds of

peasants were put through a thousand years ago while standing

in front of a giant wicker effigy, inside of which was caged a

doomed human sacrifice destined for burning.

The only difference is that the peasants knew that their

leaders wanted them to fear an occult image. Modern people

imbibe occult fear-technology while imagining that there is no

such thing. The imprint's impact is doubled when veiled under

such ignorance.

Those who think ritual has no power to significantly alter

behavior have not studied Catholicism closely. One of the most

influential liturgical rites in the history of Christendom was

the Tridentine Latin mass. By requiring attendance at the Latin

mass every Sunday, on pain of mortal sin, Rome converted

almost the whole of Europe to Catholicism.

The occult cryptocracy has a much more refined inducement

for attendance at their masonic ritual: spectacular optical. Few

need to be induced to watch TV or read a sensational, mass

Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare Page 79

market picture magazine or newspaper. In fact, we pay to do so.

Of course, many serial murders are nothing more than the

work of a single individual acting out a graphic horror movie he

saw, or responding to powerful "psychotic" impulses for

aggression and predation. But many other serial murders

involve a cult protected by the U.S. government and the

corporate media, with strong ties to the police.

These murders are actually intricately choreographed

rituals; performed first on a very intimate and secret scale,

among the initiates themselves in order to program them, then

on a grand scale, amplified incalculably by the electronic

media.

In the end what we have is a highly symbolic, ritual working

broadcast to millions of people, a Satanic inversion; a Black

mass, where the "pews" are filled by the entire nation and

through which humanity is paganized, brutalized and debased in

this, the "Nigredo" phase of the alchemical process.

The French adept Antonin Artaud, architect of the theory of

the "Theater of Cruelty" with its transformative power, and

the inspiration for the extreme sex-and-death media of our

time, had this to say about the processing of the 'Group Mind':

"Aside from trifling witchcraft of country sorcerers, there

are tricks of global hoodoo in which all alerted consciousnesses

participate periodically... That is how strange forces are

aroused and transported to the astral vault, to that dark dome

which is composed above all of... the poisonous aggressiveness of

the evil minds of most people... the formidable tentacular

oppression of a kind of civic magic which will soon appear

undisguised."

The issue of controlling humanity with esoteric words and

symbols encoded within a play, a media spectacular or a ritual

is one of the most difficult for people to comprehend. That is

why most people are viewed with utter contempt as "cowans,"

"the profane," the "gentiles" and the "goyim" (cattle) by

secret society initiates.

"I think we are farmed," Charles Fort said of humanity. It

was Fort who also suggested that man deliberately invented the

dogma of materialism in order to shield himself from the

evidence of what was being done to him by means of psycho

spiritual warfare methods hyped by "coincidence," symbolism

Michael A. Hoffman II

Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare Page 80

and ritual.

The closer a researcher gets to the Son of Sam case, the more

one sees an elaborate ritual. It began in Untermyer Park in

North Yonkers, New York. In 1903, a reputed Satanist of

considerable wealth, Samuel Untermyer, created a fantasy in

stone and statuary brought from Europe, on the site of part of

the water system for New York City, the Yonkers aqueduct, an

area which was also honeycombed with a warren of tunnels

leading to the aqueduct; a subterranean world that ran for

miles.

A little over seventy years later the Son of Sam cult held their

first rituals in Untermyer Park, in front of crumbling

columns, decaying buildings and fright masks carved in stone.

Planning for the murders occurred in a fire-charred abandoned

mansion which had once belonged to the estate of the Warburg

Rothschild family in Greenburgh, New York.

Terry Patterson, an army buddy of Berkowitz, stated that

when Berkowitz said he was the Son of Sam he was trying to say

he was the Son of Uncle Sam; a creation of certain elements in

the U.S. government. Berkowitz was raised from birth to serve

a role in the Son of Sam psychodrama. His real name was not

David Berkowitz but Richard David Falco; at least that's what

his birth certificate said. But actually, that's not his real

identity either.

The media claimed Berkowitz was an Italian raised by adoptive

parents, Nathan and Pearl Berkowitz. But in truth his real

mother was a Jewish lady, Betty Broder Falco. Her Italian

husband was long gone by the time she conceived Richard David

in a lover's lane tryst with a married man, Jewish

businessman Joseph Klineman.

Broder turned Richard David Klineman-Falco over to Nathan

and Pearl Berkowitz and he became David Richard Berkowitz.

Berkowitz joined the New York police as an auxiliary.

According to retired NYPD detective Sgt. Joseph Coffey, a letter

sent to Berkowitz from Police Commissioner Michael Codd,

while Berkowitz was a policeman, was ordered destroyed. Sgt.

Coffey says he was the one who carried out the order. (Former

NYPD Detective Henry Cinotti, a devout Catholic, was the first

to go public with evidence and information pointing to a

conspiracy behind the supposedly open-and-shut Son of Sam

Michael A. Hoffman II

case).

Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare Page 81

David Berkowitz joined the U.S. Army, entering a special

program for "profiled" candidates. Drugs were administered.

After the army he associated with a Judeo-Christian,

Fundamentalist street-preaching group in Kentucky. (After his

arrest, the police put him in daily contact with a

Fundamentalist lady who helped persuade him to forego the

"technicality" of a trial).

After Kentucky he returned to New York and sought out his

real mother. This was his final attempt to be tender or human.

He was fed her identity and address. He sent her cards. They

met. Now came the revelation of the method, for the mass

psychology of the masonic cryptocracy is also wielded on an

individual level. Now came the initiatory shock of a lifetime;

the final brutalization necessary to make Berkowitz go "beyond

good and evil," beyond duality to possess the "vision" of the

Eye-in-the-Triangle.

What she told him must have been far from pleasant since he

was the Son of Uncle Sam and he was Rosemary's baby. A letter

by Berkowitz which was suppressed for four years by the New

York City police department states, "I David Berkowitz have

been chosen since birth, to be one of the executioners of the

cult."

He worked as a security guard, then for the U.S. postal

service. He made the cult. He had girls, prestige and knowledge

of secret things. He had blood on his hands too. The blood of

"fair game."

The Son of Sam rites are memory theater mystery plays. Son

of Sam is on par with the Jack the Ripper masonic ceremony

and the killing of the King of Camelot in Dallas as a mass

psychology imprint of some virtuosity. This was their idea of a

black joke on that particularly virulent species of fool,

Boobus Americanus.

The Carr family was given the reward money offered by the

NY Daily News for the apprehension of Sam.

This writer regards Son of Sam cultists Michael and John

Carr as strong suspects in the highly-symbolical "Double

Initial" murders of children in Rochester, New York; a highly

charged occult series with a connection to the U.S. Secret

Service and Hillside Strangler Kenneth Bianchi, formerly of

Michael A. Hoffman II

Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare Page 82

Rochester.

According to information published in the Rochester Times

Union, the Secret Service, for no discernible reason, was

present in the vicinity of the home of the first "Double Initial"

murder victim, Carmen Colon, before she was murdered.

This presence—never officially accounted for in this still

unsolved murder-series—is reminiscent of a macabre

execution in Houston, Texas in 1983. United Press

International reported that two Secret Service agents watched

the shooting of Gregory D. Chafin and did nothing to prevent it

or apprehend the killer. Viewing this crime from another

angle, we might speculate that the Secret Service was somehow

possibly even supervising this murder.

The presence of the Secret Service agents in the neighborhood

of Carmen Colon in Rochester in advance of her death, is

justifiably suspicious given the depth of police coverup of leads

in those Double Initial slayings of which her murder was a

part. Son of Sam cult members John and Michael Carr and

Hillside Strangler Kenneth Bianchi—all of whom were in the

region at the time—were all protected by the police from

interrogation in these crimes, even after a retired Rochester

policewoman linked Bianchi with the Double Initial serial

murders.

Maury Terry, in his book The Ultimate Evil, places Michael

Carr in Rochester during the Double Initial murders and cites

Michael's brother, alleged Son of Sam killer John "Wheaties"

Carr, as a man who dated thirteen year old girls and who was

known in the Sam cult as a rapist and suffocater of young girls.

But Terry never once suggests any possible link to Double

Initial which involved the rape and murder of four girls and

about which this writer informed Terry in correspondence in

1979.

Terry, on p. 455 of his book, in what may be a macabre hint

of his own, says-apropos of nothing—that he has his "eye"

Sire "Rebecca" is really a Reuben, transgender, from Re-Vamped with Juliet Landau on YouTube has been misleading Juliet Landau with deadly intent, corralling Juliet Landau into being a holocaust and Juliet Landau should be given full control of everything that is in Juliet's name:

What is the male equivalent of Rebecca?

Not having a grounding in Hebrew or Yiddish or much knowledge of the ancient texts myself, I would recommend Reuben. It's somewhat similar in sound and spelling to Rebecca, is a masculine name, and is also a Jewish name. I have heard it paired: Reuben and Rebecca (as well as Reuben and Rachel).

A boy named Rachel

A story is told of a boy who arrived in the Lower East Side of New York in the 1950s and attended a small Cheder (religious school). The boy, child of a single immigrant mother, had been given the name Rachel (could have been Sue!).

He was made fun of in Cheder, and his teacher sought out a sage to get advice. The sage traveled to the boy’s home, where his mother explained that he had been named after his grandmother, who had been murdered in Auschwitz.

The sage explained to the mother that her child was suffering because of his name and came up with a fascinating suggestion. He proposed they keep Rachel’s name for official documents, but they call the boy by the Yiddish translation of the name Rachel (Rachel means a ewe), which is Shepsel, a somewhat common Yiddish name at the time.

Possible masculine versions of the name

As you can see, there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to translating the name Rebeccah. I’m willing to bet you’re already leaning toward “captivating,” or possibly “ensnarer.”

However, as a religious Jew, I tend to turn to the books to find my inspiration and the Mishnah is the closest and oldest source I can find.

That being said, most translations do not work well as potential masculine names in Hebrew or Yiddish. One possibility can be Adam (Hebrew for soil) or you can go with Shepsil (Yiddish for sheep).

If you want names that sound like Rivkah, how about Reuven (Reuben)? Or if you want a name associated with Rivkah, how about her husband Yitzchak (Isaac)? Or Yaacov (Jacob)?

Revelation 17:12-15

1599 Geneva Bible

12 [a]And the ten horns which thou sawest, are [b]ten kings, which yet have not received a kingdom, but shall receive power, as Kings [c]at one hour with the beast.

13 [d]These have one mind, and shall give their power and authority unto the beast.

14 These shall fight with the [e]Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, called, and chosen, and faithful.

15 [f]And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, [g]are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Revelation 17:12 That is, arising with their kingdoms out of the Roman beast: at such time as that political Empire began by the craft of the Popes greatly to fall.

Revelation 17:12 Namely, with the second beast whom we called before a false prophet, which beast, ascending out of the earth got unto himself all the authority and power of the first beast, and exerciseth the same before his face, as was said, Rev. 14:11, 12. For when the political Empire of the West began to bow downwards, there both arose those ten kings, and the second beast took the opportunity offered to usurp unto himself all the power of the former beast.

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 chastity 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.

James's reign witnessed the beginnings of Protestantism in Scotland, and his uncle Henry VIII of England's break with Rome in the 1530s placed James in a powerful bargaining position with the papacy, allowing James to exploit the situation to increase his control over ecclesiastical appointments and the financial dividends from church revenues. Pope Paul III granted him the title of Defender of the Faith in 1537.

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

Henry VIII (r. 1509–1547) was the only son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York to live to the age of maturity, and he proved a dominant ruler. Issues around royal succession (including marriage and the succession rights of women) became major political themes during the Tudor era, as did the English Reformation in religion, impacting the future of the Crown.

The Spanish Armada was a Spanish fleet that sailed from Lisbon in late May 1588, commanded by Alonso de Guzmán, Duke of Medina Sidonia, an aristocrat appointed by Philip II of Spain. His orders were to sail up the English Channel, join with the army of Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma in Flanders, and escort an invasion force that would land in England and overthrow Elizabeth I.

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

Inter caetera ('Among other [works]') was a papal bull issued by Pope Alexander VI on 4 May 1493, which granted to the Catholic Monarchs King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile all lands to the "west and south" of a pole-to-pole line 100 leagues west and south of any of the islands of the Azores or the Cape Verde islands.[1]

Sion Against the Stuarts

With the extinction of the Valois dynasty a fate accompli, Sion looked across the channel to the Scottish Templar Stuarts in line to ascend to the English throne (see chapter 2). Queen Elizabeth was old and childless. On her deathbed in 1603 she formally acknowledged James VI of Scotland her successor. James VI of Scotland became King James I of England. A Templar throne in England was a more serious problem for Sion than the new Merovingian Bourbon throne in France. Hence, the next five Grand Masters of Sion concentrated on deposing the Templar Stuarts - a goal which took nearly a century to accomplish.

Paul V's hard-edged Catholic diplomacy cut the ground from under moderate Catholics in England. His letter of 9 July 1606 to congratulate James I on his accession to the throne was three years late and seemed to English eyes merely a preamble to what followed, and his reference to the Gunpowder Plot, made against the life of the monarch and all the members of Parliament the previous November, was unfortunate for the Papal cause, for Papal agents were considered by the English to have been involved

PART VI 1THE PERSONAL LIFE OF THOSE ALREADY ADMITTED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE BODY OF THE SOCIETY

SECTION 1: THE APOSTOLIC CHARACTER OF OUR VOWS IN GENERAL

143 §1. Our consecration by profession of the evangelical counsels, by which we respond to a divine vocation, is at one and the same time the following of Christ poor, virginal, and obedient and a rejection of those idols that the world is always prepared to adore, especially wealth, pleasure, prestige, and power. Hence, our poverty, chastity, and obedience ought visibly and efficaciously to bear witness to this attitude, whereby we proclaim the evangelical possibility of a certain communion among men and women that is a foretaste of the future kingdom of God.[1]

§2. Our religious vows, while binding us, also set us FREE:

FREE, by our vow of poverty, to share the life of the poor and to use whatever resources we may have, not for our own security and comfort, but for service;

FREE, by our vow of chastity, to be men for others, in friendship and communion with all, but especially with those who share our mission of service;

FREE, by our vow of obedience, to respond to the call of Christ as made known to us by him whom the Spirit has placed over the Church, and to follow the lead of all our superiors.[2]

This is a truly curious tract upon the “relations of the Jesuits and the Rosicrucians."

God has chosen Juliet Rose Landau to be a prophetess of Christ, God Jesus Crist wants Juliet Rose Landau to be a prophetess, and Archbishop Sarah Mullally, Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Louis Sako and Kurt Olsen through Sire Rebecca and James Marsters has Juliet under threat of loss of their life which will not happen!

AI Overview

A prophetess is a woman called by God to be a spokeswoman, delivering divine messages, proclaiming truth, or foretelling future events. Serving the same functional role as a male prophet (nābī'), they often act as counselors or leaders, with key biblical examples including Miriam, Deborah, and Anna, who was known for her dedication to prayer and fasting.

A scutum was typically RED in color, as red was the color of the Roman god of war, Mars.

The Union Générale.

Meanwhile the Nationalist and Reactionary parties in France desired to counterbalance the "Semitic" influence of the Rothschilds by establishing a banking concern which should be essentially Catholic. Accordingly in 1876 the Union Générale was founded with a capital of 4,000,000 francs, increased to 25,000, 000 fraces in 1878 under the direction of a certain Bontoux. After various vicissitudes, graphically described by Zola in his novel "L'Argent," the Union failed, and brought many of the Catholic nobility of France to ruin, leaving the Rothschilds still more absolutely the undisputed leaders of French finance, but leaving also a legacy of hatred which had much influence on the growth of the anti-Semitic movement in France. Something analogous occurred in England when the century-long competition of the Barings and the Rothschilds culminated in the failure of the former in 1893; but in this case the Rothschilds came to the rescue of their rivals and prevented a universal financial catastrophe. It is a somewhat curious sequel to the attempt to set up a Catholic competitor to the Roths-childs that at the present time the latter are the guardians of the papal treasure.

Of recent years the Rothschilds have consistently refused to have anything to do with loans to Russia, owing to the anti-Jewish legislation of that empire, though on one occasion the members of the Paris house joined in a loan to demonstrate their patriotism as Frenchmen."

In the next generation, they espoused the Stuart cause, and the head of the family was killed in the Battle of Aughrim. With the fall of the Stuarts, the lands of the Dunns were confiscated, and their fighting men who survived followed Sarsfield and the "wild geese" to fight in the ranks of the Irish Brigade in France.

Black Knight mystery decoded

ET Online

Last Updated: Jul 01, 2025, 08:32:00 PM IST Google

Synopsis

The Black Knight satellite myth claims that a mysterious object—possibly of alien origin—has been orbiting Earth for 13,000 years. This theory combines a mix of unrelated events, including Nikola Tesla’s early radio experiments, unexplained radio echoes, and misidentified space debris.

The presence of a Nataraja (dancing Lord Shiva) statue at CERN symbolizes the metaphoric link between the "cosmic dance" of subatomic particles and Hindu cosmology, often discussed in relation to the Kali Yuga (the current age of conflict). While some speculate this links to cosmic destruction or, as suggested by a Reddit user, that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) caused a reality shift, CERN confirms the statue is a gift celebrating its partnership with India.

Criminal Minds Stars Mantegna, Vangsness Remember Nicholas Brendon

Criminal Minds stars Joe Mantegna and Kirsten Vangsness took to social media to remember the late Nicholas Brendon, who played Kevin Lynch.

Article Summary

Criminal Minds stars Joe Mantegna and Kirsten Vangsness paid tribute to Nicholas Brendon on Instagram.

Nicholas Brendon played Kevin Lynch, Penelope Garcia’s boyfriend, in 21 episodes of Criminal Minds.

Vangsness expressed heartbreak at Brendon’s passing, celebrating his memorable role and their on-screen chemistry.

Mantegna praised Brendon’s impact on the show, honoring his contributions to Criminal Minds’ enduring legacy.

As the world continues to reel from the passing of Nicholas Brendon at the age of 54, the actor, best known for his role as Xander Harris on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, also played fan-favorite Kevin Lynch, a technical analyst at the Behavioral Analysis Unit on the CBS procedural series Criminal Minds. Appearing in 21 episodes across seasons 3-10, Kevin was the love interest of BAU Technical Analyst and team's Media Liaison Officer Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) in the episode titled "Penelope." Garcia and Lynch broke up in the season seven episode "I Love You, Tommy Brown," but Brendon's final appearance was in season 10's "Burn." Vangsness and Joe Mantegna, who plays Supervisory Special Agent David Rossi, the Unit Senior Agent, paid tribute to Brendon on Instagram.

Sharing a still between herself and Brandon, Vangsness wrote, "Kevin Lynch was the perfect foil (meaning a person who makes another person look better by being with them, or whose characteristics amplify the characteristics of another person in a wonderful way or a challenging way) for Penelope. As a huge Buffy fan, I totally nerded it out when they cast [Nicholas Brendon] as my boyfriend. As a fan and a friend, my heart aches to learn of his leaving the planet when he had much life to still sort out. I will definitely be re-watching his screen charisma, and feel so fortunate that our paths got to cross in such a unique way. I am sending each of us a very deep breath for this pain."

Mantegna posted a clip of the episode "Penelope" as Morgan(Shemar Moore), Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), Prentiss (Paget Brewster), Jareau (A. J. Cook), and Rossi discover that Garcia and Lynch are dating, writing, "R. I. P. Nicholas Brendon. Part of the reason Criminal Minds has been on 19 seasons and counting is the quality of our guest stars. You were most certainly one of them. 🕊️"

Who are the Nicolaitans mentioned in Revelation 2:6, 14-15?

Answer

The exact origin of the Nicolaitans is unclear. Some Bible commentators believe they were a heretical sect who followed the teachings of Nicolas—whose name means “one who conquers the people”—who was possibly one of the deacons of the early church mentioned in Acts 6:5. It is possible that Nicolas became an apostate, denying the true faith and became part of a group holding “the doctrine of Balaam,” who taught Israel “to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality” (Revelation 2:14). Clement of Alexandria says, “They abandoned themselves to pleasure like goats, leading a life of self-indulgence.” Their teaching perverted grace and replaced liberty with license.

Other commentators believe that these Nicolaitans were not so called from any man, but from the Greek word Nicolah, meaning "let us eat," as they often encouraged each other to eat things offered to idols. Whichever theory is true, it is certain that the deeds of the Nicolaitans were an abomination to Christ. They, like the Gnostics and other false teachers, abused the doctrine of grace and tried to introduce licentiousness in its place (2 Peter 2:15, 19; Jude 1:4).

Jesus commends the church of Ephesus for hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans as He does (Revelation 2:6). No doubt the leaders of the Ephesian church protected their flock from these destructive heresies and kept their people from committing the same evil deeds. All sin is hateful to Christ, as it should be to His followers, as we hate men’s evil deeds, not the men themselves. For the church at Pergamos, Jesus had not commendation, but censure. Unlike the Ephesians, they actually embraced the teachings of the Nicolaitans (Revelation 2:15). Jesus warns them that unless they repent, they are in danger of the judgment that is sure to fall on those who teach false doctrine, attack His church, and destroy His people. The sword of judgment is poised over their heads, and His patience is not limitless (Revelation 2:16; 19:15).

The lesson for us is that the church of the Lord Jesus throughout the ages has been plagued by those of the Nicolaitan spirit. The only way to recognize false teaching is to be intimately familiar with truth through the diligent study of the Word of God.

[82] 27. 1Likewise, in addition to the other pilgrimages and probations explained above, the professed before making their profession, the coadjutors before taking their vows, 2and (when the superior thinks it wise) the scholastics before becoming approved and pronouncing their vows with the promise mentioned above, 3should engage in door-to-door begging for the love of God our Lord[49] for a period of three days at the times assigned to them, thus imitating the Society s earliest members. 4The purpose is that, going against the common manner of human thinking, they may be able in God s service and praise to humble themselves more and make greater spiritual progress, giving glory to his Divine Majesty. 5Another purpose is to enable them to be more disposed to practice begging when they are so commanded, or find it expedient or necessary 6when they are traveling through various parts of the world, according to what the supreme vicar of Christ our Lord may order or assign to them; or, in his place, the one who happens to be superior of the Society. 7For our profession requires that we be prepared and very much ready for whatever is enjoined upon us in our Lord and at whatsoever time, 8without asking for or expecting any reward in this present and transitory life, but hoping always for that life which lasts for all eternity, through God s supreme mercy.

In the Baal Cycle, Ba'al Hadad is challenged by and defeats Yam using two magical weapons (called "Driver" and "Chaser") made for him by Kothar-wa-Khasis. Afterward, with the help of Athirat and Anat, Ba'al persuades El to allow him a palace. El approves, and the palace is built by Kothar-wa-Khasis. After the palace is constructed, Ba'al gives forth a thunderous roar out of the palace window and challenges Mot. Mot enters through the window and swallows Ba'al, sending him to the underworld. With no one to give rain, there is a terrible drought in Ba'al's absence. The other deities, especially El and Anat, are distraught that Ba'al had been taken to the underworld. Anat goes to the underworld, attacks Mot with a knife, grinds him up into pieces, and scatters him far and wide. With Mot defeated, Ba'al is able to return and refresh the Earth with rain.[9]

Dracula 2000 (also known as Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000 and internationally as Dracula 2001)[3] is a 2000 American horror film co-written and directed by Patrick Lussier and produced by Joel Soisson. Starring Gerard Butler in the title role along with Christopher Plummer, Jonny Lee Miller, Justine Waddell, Omar Epps, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Jeri Ryan and Jennifer Esposito, the plot follows Count Dracula, who, after having escaped captivity by Abraham Van Helsing over a century following the events of the novel Dracula, arrives in New Orleans, Louisiana in the 21st century and seeks out Mary Heller, the daughter of Van Helsing.

Dracula 2000, under its promotional title Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000, builds upon Bram Stoker's original 1897 novel, with Count Dracula resurrected in contemporary America. The film was a critical and commercial failure.

Dracula 2000 was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, Ascension in 2003 and Legacy in 2005. Series director Lussier and Joel Soisson, who co-wrote all three films, created a plot for a fourth film and discussed releasing it theatrically, but the film was not produced.[4]

Plot

In 2000 London, Matthew Van Helsing, a grandson of 19th-century physician Abraham Van Helsing, owns an antique shop built over the site of Carfax Abbey. One night, Van Helsing's secretary, Solina, her boyfriend Marcus, and their companions Trick, Nightshade, Dax, and Eddie break into the shop's underground vault, believing it must contain valuables. Instead, they discover a sealed silver coffin. While attempting to open the coffin, Eddie and Dax are impaled by spikes, spraying the coffin with blood and alerting Van Helsing to their presence. Assuming the coffin must contain his valuables, the group escapes with it aboard a plane to New Orleans, and Van Helsing arranges a flight to pursue them, unwittingly accompanied by his apprentice, Simon Sheppard.

Aboard their plane, Nightshade unlocks the coffin, revealing the withered body of Count Dracula. Having been awakened by the blood on his coffin, Dracula attacks and vampirizes Solina and her group. Rejuvenated, Dracula has a vision of a young woman, Mary Heller, who simultaneously sees him. After the plane crashes in a Louisiana swamp, the seemingly deceased passengers are taken to a makeshift morgue, while Dracula vampirizes Valerie Sharpe, a presenter reporting on the crash. He then travels to New Orleans to find Mary. Estranged from her family, Mary has recently been experiencing vivid dreams about Dracula, unaware of who he is.

Van Helsing and Simon arrive in New Orleans and destroy most of Dracula's newborn vampires. Afterward, Van Helsing confesses to Simon that he is Abraham Van Helsing, who defeated Dracula in 1897, and has extended his own life by regularly injecting Dracula's blood from within the leeches that accompanied Dracula and posing as his own descendants to disguise it. In the century since, Van Helsing has failed to find a method of permanently killing Dracula. All that is known, though, is that Dracula abhors God, Christian cultures, and silver, and is ancient and the first of his kind. Van Helsing also reveals that Mary is his daughter. She was conceived after Van Helsing began his injections and thus shares a blood connection to Dracula. Van Helsing's wife left with Mary after learning his secrets and of what he had done.

Dracula is led to Mary's home by her friend Lucy, whom he seduces and vampirizes. There, he later confronts and kills Van Helsing. On her return, Mary finds her father's bloodied corpse and is ambushed by Dracula and his brides: Solina, Valerie, and Lucy. Simon arrives just in time to save her from Dracula's beast form. The pair briefly escapes into a church cemetery, but Dracula soon catches and abducts Mary. Dracula explains that he has spent centuries searching for someone like him, but born rather than vampirized like his thralls.

On a rooftop, Dracula transforms Mary and reveals that he is Judas Iscariot, the Apostle who betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin for a bribe of thirty pieces of silver. After Jesus was crucified, Judas hanged himself out of guilt at sunset, but was revived and turned into the first vampire. Dracula blames Jesus for his damnation because he had foreknowledge of his betrayal and failed to avert the prophecy. Seeking revenge, the fallen Apostle aims to spite Christ by causing the world to be overrun by vampires. Mary suggests that Dracula cannot die because he has not sought God's forgiveness, but Dracula refuses to ever submit to Jesus or God again. After Simon kills Valerie, he is subdued by Solina and Lucy and brought to Dracula, who offers his blood to Mary. She feigns the bite before she and Simon kill the remaining brides and stab Dracula to avenge her father, revealing that she still has free will.

An enraged Dracula attacks Mary, who wraps some retaining cable from a large crucifix around his neck and drags him over the roof edge. As dawn breaks, and Dracula looks up at the image of Jesus on the crucifix, the sunlight immolates him. He releases Mary from her vampirism before perishing. Sometime later, with Simon's support, Mary has taken her father's role in guarding Dracula's remains to prevent the vampire from returning.

Production

While finalizing post-production on Scream 3, Bob Weinstein approached editor Patrick Lussier on a modernized take on Dracula entitled Dracula 2000. When Lussier asked Weinstein what the film was about, Weinstein responded "I don't know." Joel Soisson, having written under Lussier for The Prophecy 3: The Ascent, was brought on board to flesh out the film. The filmmakers quickly drafted a screenplay by January 2000, which envisioned a smaller scale story than Weinstein had hoped for.[5] Soisson's initial pitch, which included a vampire hunting priest, would ultimately be recycled for the sequel, Dracula II: Ascension.[6][7] Inspired by the prior Hammer Horror entries, particularly Dracula A.D. 1972, Lussier attempted to employ similar methods for his film.[8] Lussier and Soisson also sought to differentiate their Dracula from other adaptations. The director took note of the character's scorn for Christian iconography, ultimately linking him to Judas Iscariot.[9]

Wes Craven served as an executive producer on the project. Craven's name was used heavily in marketing, as done on previous films such as Wishmaster and Don't Look Down.[10] Ehren Kruger performed a script polish, while Scott Derrickson and his writing partner Paul Harris Boardman were enlisted for a rewrite just two weeks before production.[11][12][13][14] According to Derrickson, Weinstein thought the script was "terrible" but was moving forward with production regardless; when Derrickson asked why he was making the movie, Weinstein replied "Because it's called Dracula 2000".[15]

During pre-production in Toronto, Lussier had already blocked several scenes using assistants. Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Esposito, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Omar Epps, Justine Waddell, Jonny Lee Miller, and Jeri Ryan arrived on set, but no actor had been cast in the title role. Gerard Butler would be cast as Dracula only two days before filming commenced.[5]

Filming took place in New Orleans and Toronto, beginning on June 26, 2000, and wrapping on September 6.[16][5] A rough cut of the film was assembled in only six days. Additional photography occurred on October 23 and spanned eight days.[5] Nathan Fillion was added during the reshoots, filming his brief scenes on Halloween night.[17] In November, the Writers Guild of America ruled that Soisson would receive sole screenplay credit and share story credit with Lussier.[18] The final cut of the film was expected to be delivered on December 12, 2000, a mere ten days before its theatrical release. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Craven compared Dracula 2000's rushed production to his time working on Scream 2, which was released in December 1997 after being filmed between June and August of that year. Craven said "What's the benefit of making movies so fast? There's no benefit whatsoever. It's terribly difficult, and completely unnecessary."[5]

Connection to Conversos (Spain)

While not explicitly central in all Black Madonna narratives, these figures played a complex role in the religious life of Spanish conversos (Jewish converts to Christianity) and the broader population, particularly in the 15th-16th centuries:

Jews and the Knights Templar – a complex relationship

Thousands of Jewish people around the world are taking up an invitation from the Portuguese government to return to Portugal. Their ancestors were forced out of the country by the Inquisition from the 15th century onwards. And it seems a good moment to look back at the relationship between Portuguese Jews and the Knights Templar in Portugal.

https://thetemplarknight.com/2011/09/18/jews-knights-templar-relationship/

Although in the first 30 years of the existence of the Society of Jesus there were many Jesuits who were conversos (Catholic-convert Jews and Muslims and their descendants), an anti-converso faction led to the Decree de genere (1593) which proclaimed that either Jewish or Muslim ancestry, no matter how distant, was an insurmountable impediment for admission to the Society of Jesus.[191]

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

Himmler used the Jesuits as the model for the SS, since he found they had the core elements of absolute obedience and the cult of the organisation.[59][60] Hitler is said to have called Himmler "my Ignatius of Loyola".[59] As an order, the SS needed a coherent doctrine that would set it apart.[61] Himmler attempted to construct such an ideology, and deduced a "pseudo-Germanic tradition" from history.[61]

From modest beginnings the SS (Schutzstaffel; Protection Squadrons), became a virtual state within a state in Nazi Germany, staffed by men who perceived themselves as the “racial elite” of Nazi future.

In the Nazi state, the SS assumed leading responsibility for security, identification of ethnicity, settlement and population policy, and intelligence collection and analysis. The SS controlled the German police forces and the concentration camp system. The SS conceived and implemented plans designed to restructure the ethnic composition of eastern Europe and the occupied Soviet Union.

From 1939, the SS assumed responsibility for “solving” the so-called Jewish Question; after 1941, its leadership planned, coordinated and directed the so-called Final Solution of the Jewish Question. This “solution” was the annihilation of the European Jews, which we now refer to as the Holocaust

A prophetess is a woman called by God to speak His words, reveal His will, or foretell future events, often serving as a spiritual guide. Similar to male prophets in function, prophetesses like Miriam, Deborah, and Anna delivered divine messages, led through inspiration, and maintained high spiritual standing without necessarily holding top administrative authority.

Rahab (/ˈreɪhæb/; Hebrew: רָחָב) was a prostitute from Jericho during the Israelite conquest of Canaan. In the Book of Joshua of the Hebrew Bible, she is credited with aiding the Israelites by hiding two spies who had been sent by Joshua to scout the city before the Israelite assault. Her actions led to the fall of Jericho, during which Israelite fighters killed every Canaanite inhabitant of the city.

In the New Testament, she is lauded both as an example of a saint who lived by faith,[1] and as someone "considered righteous" for her good works.[2] According to biblical research, the narrative's author intended that she did not contribute to the fall of Jericho, but instead saved herself and her loved ones from certain death.[3][4]

The King James Version renders the name as Rachab after the spelling in Koine Greek, which differs from the spelling for Rahab in the Epistle of James and the Epistle to the Hebrews. Most modern Bible translations render it as Rahab, ignoring the distinction.[5]

18 And that woman which thou sawest, is that [c]great city which reigned over the kings of the earth.

What is a prophetess?

Answer

A prophetess is a female prophet. The word prophet comes from the Greek word prophetes, which means “spokesman.” A prophet in the Bible is a person who proclaims God’s Word and therefore speaks for God—a spokesman for God. A prophetess was, therefore, a spokeswoman for God. The faithful prophet or prophetess was one who, regardless of whether or not he or she was listened to, spoke everything God said to speak. There are several prophetesses mentioned in the Bible.

In the Old Testament we have Miriam, the sister of Aaron and Moses, who was a prophetess (Exodus 15:20). Deborah was another prophetess, and she was also the only woman that we know of to judge Israel (Judges 4:4). Another prophetess in the Bible is Huldah, who lived in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah (2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 34:22). As Josiah was making reforms in Judah, he found a copy of the Law in the temple. He read it and was troubled over his nation’s disobedience. Josiah inquired of the Lord through Huldah the prophetess. Huldah prophesied a disaster that God would bring upon Judah for its idolatry, but Josiah, because of his humility and tender heart before God, would go to his grave in peace and not see the disaster (2 Chronicles 34:19–28). An unnamed prophetess is mentioned in Isaiah 8:1–4. This prophetess bore Isaiah’s son Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, whose name was prophetic.

In the New Testament, another prophetess, Anna, is mentioned in Luke 2. Anna was a widow who spent her days in the temple fasting and praying (Luke 2:36–37). When Mary and Joseph presented the infant Jesus in the temple, Anna immediately recognized Jesus for who He was—the Messiah. She began to give thanks to God and to speak about Jesus to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem (verse 38). Four more prophetesses are mentioned in Acts 21:9. The four virgin daughters of Philip the evangelist were known for their prophecies. We aren’t told the content of their prophecies, but it’s likely that some of the prophecies concerned Paul’s visit to Jerusalem and pending arrest.

The Bible also mentions two false prophetesses, women who claimed to speak God’s word but were lying. One of these false prophetesses is a woman named Noadiah who was part of the conspiracy to make Nehemiah afraid to follow God (Nehemiah 6:14). The other is an unnamed false prophetess referred to as “Jezebel” in Revelation 2:20; this Jezebel-like woman was teaching the church at Thyatira to follow idols and leading them into sexual immorality.

The Bible tells us that prophecies will be spoken in the last days by both men and women, young and old, regardless of social status, as God pours out His Spirit (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17). This was seen on the Day of Pentecost, when God bypassed the priests and scribes and spoke to the people of Jerusalem through the “common” people of the fledgling church, much to everyone’s amazement (Acts 2:12; 4:13).

Moon landing memories: Vietnam War appeared to stop for moon walk

From the Star readers share moon landing memories series

Crosby McDowell Jul 26, 2019

When Apollo 11 lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 9:32 a.m., July 16, 1969, it was already 9:32 p.m. of the same day in my little world located 5 miles south of DaNang RVN. I was an Infantry Captain assigned as a Military Advisor to the 4th Battalion of the 51st ARVN Regiment in my eighth month of my first Vietnam tour. I had been with this South Vietnamese Battalion the whole tour and knew the Battalion Staff and Company Commanders well. A number of the officers in the Battalion had trained in the U.S. at either RangerSchool or AirborneSchool and several had attended one of the Officers Basic Courses. The South Vietnamese soldiers were about as Americanized as their meager income would allow and they had an appetite for our music, cigarettes and beer. Lesser known to me, the North Vietnamese also shared some of that appetite. The window to reality for us all, Vietnamese and Americans alike, was the radio and almost every one on both sides of the conflict had access to a small one to carry in the field. They brought us music, the sound of a woman’s voice and news. The Armed Forces Vietnam Network provided a 24 hour English radio station. Both the North and South Vietnamese had their own radio stations with a news and music slant that reflected their political origin.

One hundred and nine hours after the Apollo 11 lift off from Cape Canaveral, my ARVN Infantry Battalion was approximately 20 miles southwest of DaNang and in contact with elements of a North Vietnamese Infantry Regiment which we had found the day before. When it was approaching 10 p.m. EDT on July 20, 1969, in the USA, it was 10 a.m. on July 21, 1969, on the hot humid lowlands of I Corp RVN. Moonrise was early morning around 3:30 a.m. and by 10 a.m., a 40% moon was almost directly overhead. The Apollo 11 crew was completing their pre EVA checklist, and AFVN Radio was carrying every word. We were all in awe of the history and the event.

Contact with the NVA elements around 9:30 a.m., had for short periods, been somewhat heavy. Vietnam was a land of constant sound of warfare. Artillery fire from the big U.S. Marine firebases would roll across the plains of our base camp near DaNang. But, in the field and much further away, the sounds could be heard from the impact of shells. This was a sound like a rolling thunder from the rounds as far away as 10 or 15 miles and a sort of “crack/whump” for the close in fire that I was usually directing at the request of my Montagnard Major who was in command of the ARVN Battalion. When in contact, the pop of small arms fire and the crack of rounds passing nearby us were constant reminders of the lethal business at hand. Aircraft were constantly overhead, particularly as a result of our relative close proximity to the big DaNang Airbase. However, by 10:15 a.m., it had slowed to a trickle of sporadic weapons fire and I commented to my American Team Sergeant, Sgt. Ed Kadle from northern California, on how quiet it had become. There seemed only to be the sound of constant flies and an occasional crackle of the radio mixed with the humid smell of sweat and unwashed bodies as we lay crouched in the sun, looking up and the moon, listening to the radio transmissions of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. If for me, Vietnam was ever surreal, it was at that time, because as Neil Armstrong opened the hatch the war stopped dead in its tracks at about 10:30 a.m., July 21, 1969 in RVN.

Vietnam looks to Israel’s hi-tech industry for opportunity as diplomatic ties at a high - interview

Israeli ambassador Yaron Mayer told the ‘Post’ that Jerusalem-Hanoi relations were at an all-time high.

By DANIELLE GREYMAN-KENNARD

FEBRUARY 1, 2026 09:33

Updated: FEBRUARY 1, 2026 16:22

While Israeli diplomacy undoubtedly has become more complex since the October 7 massacre, the relationship between Jerusalem and Hanoi has flourished, according to Israeli Ambassador to Vietnam Yaron Mayer.

“The conflict has naturally raised concerns but did not dominate bilateral engagement,” he told The Jerusalem Post in a recent interview. “Diplomatic dialogue remained professional, respectful, and focused on cooperation. Long-term partnerships were not disrupted.”

“Vietnam maintains a balanced stance, supporting a two-state solution while continuing to value Israel as a top-tier technological partner,” he added.

Mayer, who is also Israel’s ambassador to Laos, has worked for more than a decade in Israeli diplomacy. He previously served as ambassador to Myanmar and Nepal.

Mayer said he has devoted much of his time to developing bonds on a local level. Celebrating his first Vietnamese New Year, which fell on his seventh month in the country, he joined a kindergarten class to learn how to make traditional Vietnamese Trung, a square cake made of sticky rice, green beans, and meat.

Mayer, whose mother was a famed artist born in London, also reflected on both the challenge and the beauty of learning to write a traditional word under the guidance of a calligrapher in Hanoi. The Chinese script, commonly hung on the walls of Vietnamese homes to bring good luck, was demonstrated by a local man who taught him how to write the word “AN,” meaning peace.

Vietnam boosts Israel ties with tech cooperation, tourism push

The relationship between the two countries is at an all-time high, he said, citing recent accomplishments, such as the signing of the free-trade agreement in 2023. Trade is projected to exceed $4 billion by the end of 2026, he added.

Israelis might be able to travel to Vietnam without a visa in the not-too-distant future, Mayer hinted, adding that it would be a natural next step following Hanoi’s 2023 decision to extend e-visas to 90 days.

The new direct Arkia flight from Tel Aviv to Vietnam indicates that Hanoi is investing heavily in attracting Israeli tourists, he said. Last year, at least 50,000 visitors entered Vietnam with their Israeli passports, and the Vietnamese Tourism Ministry hopes to attract 300,000 Israeli travelers by 2030, he added.

Mayer said a plan was in place to increase cooperation in technology transfer, smart agriculture, climate resilience, and digital innovation within the next five years.

Much of Israel’s environmental and agricultural technology is already being employed by Vietnam, he said. The gold standard of Israeli drip irrigation is now being scaled to address water shortages and efficient irrigation in various regions, he added, and it was being used successfully in many rural parts of the country.

Perhaps because Vietnam only recognized Israel in 1993, Mayer said he was pleasantly surprised by the depth of interest in Israeli innovation across Vietnamese institutions. There is strong demand not only from the private sector, he said, but also from provincial governments and universities.

Vietnam is eager for the opportunity to benefit from Israeli technology, and there are many opportunities for Israelis, Mayer said.

He cited strong interest from Israeli start-ups and said the embassy has begun hosting “matchmaker” events, such as the Israel Technology Connection, to link Israeli start-ups with Vietnamese provincial leaders.

FPT, one of Vietnam’s largest hi-tech and pharmaceutical companies, was one of several to benefit from the work of the embassy and opened the doors to its first Israel office a few weeks ago, Yoram Noar, the head of FPT’s Israel branch, told the Post.

The new office will focus on furthering the company’s interests in the fields of artificial intelligence, cyber, and education, he said.

“I urged the ambassador to focus on the hi-tech industry to see if we could bring the Israeli companies from the hi-tech industry into Vietnam to see if we could do joint ventures,” Noar said. “We focused on hi-tech because Vietnam has great potential, and Vietnam wants to show a growth of about 10% a year, so [Hanoi] thought Israel could be a good model of how to promote [economic and hi-tech] activities.”

Last month, the Hai Phong Center for Innovation and Application of Science and Technology hosted an event that focused on Israeli technology in agriculture and water resources.

More efforts are now being made to help Israel navigate the Vietnamese paperwork, and this would remain an ongoing focus, Mayer said.

Jerusalem Corpus Separatum

...Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the

Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:24)

Corpus Separatum (Latin for "separated body") is a term used to

describe the Jerusalem area in the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan

for Palestine. According to the plan the city would be placed under

international regime, conferring it a special status due to its shared

religious importance. The Corpus Separatum was one of the main

issues of the Lausanne Conference of 1949, besides the other borders

between Israel and Palestine and the question of the right of return of

the Palestinian refugees. The plan was adopted by the General

Assembly with a two-thirds majority, although its implementation

failed and the view that Jerusalem should be the capital of both Israel

and Palestine internationally is widely supported now. (wikipedia)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Israel Resource Review, The Vatican's Jerusalem Agenda. Did

Shimon Peres make a deal with the Vatican?

Consider the evidence:

On Sept. 10, '93, just three days before the signing of the Declaration

of Principles in Washington, the Italian news magazine La Stampa

reported that part of the peace deal was an unwritten understanding that

the Vatican would receive political authority over the Old City of

Jerusalem by the end of the millennium. The newspaper reported that

Shimon Peres had promised the Pope to hand over the holy sites of

Jerusalem the previous May and that Arafat had accepted the

agreement.

In March '94, the Israeli newsmagazine Shishi published an

interview with Mark Halter, a French intellectual and close friend of

Shimon Peres. He said he delivered a letter from Peres to the Pope the

previous May, within which Peres offered the Vatican hegemony over

the Old City of Jerusalem. The article detailed Peres's offer which

essentially turned Jerusalem into an international city overseen by the

Holy See.

In March '95, the radio station Arutz Sheva announced that it had

seen a cable sent by the Israeli Embassy in Rome to the Foreign

Ministry in Jerusalem outlining the handover of the Old City of

Jerusalem to the Vatican. Two days later Haaretz published the cable on

its front page. The Foreign Ministry explained that the cable was

genuine but someone had whited out the word "not." ie We will not

transfer authority to the Vatican. Incredibly, numerous Bnei Brak rabbis

who had canceled Passover meetings with Peres over the issue of the

cable accepted the explanation and re-invited him to their homes.

The Foreign Ministry's Legal Affairs Spokesperson, Esther Samilag,

publicly complained about "various capitulations" to the Vatican. She

was immediately transferred to a post at the Israeli Embassy in

Katmandu, Nepal.

MK Avraham Shapira announced in the Knesset that he had

information that all Vatican property in Jerusalem was to become tax

exempt and that large tracts of real estate on Mount Zion were given to

the pope in perpetuity.

Jerusalem's late Deputy Mayor Shmuel Meir announced that he had

received "information that properties promised to the Vatican would be

granted extra-territorial status."

Beilin was forced to answer the accusations. He admitted, "Included in

the Vatican Agreement is the issue of papal properties in Israel that will

be resolved by a committee of experts that has already been formed." If

so, this committee has not since released any proof of its existence.

With all this in mind, how do we interpret the Vatican's current position

on Jerusalem?

The following report, circulated by MSANews may shed some light on

that:

Vatican City, Jun 14, 1997 (VIS) - Archbishop Renato Martino,

apostolic nuncio and Holy See permanent observer to the United

Nations, spoke June 9 on the status of Jerusalem at the New York

headquarters of the Path to Peace Foundation. The archbishop

addressed members of this foundation as well as U.S. members of the

Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. He began by

briefly summarizing the "well-known and long-standing position of the

Holy See with regard to Jerusalem. He stated that Jerusalem "for us, of

course, along with the rest of the Holy Land, is that special link

between heaven and earth, that place where God walked and ultimately

died among men. And of course we recognize that others revere

Jerusalem as the city of David and the prophets and the city known to

Mohammed.... It is a spiritual treasure for all of humanity, and it is a

city of two peoples, Arabs and Jews, and of the three monotheistic

religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam."

Archbishop Martino added that "in recent years it has been

increasingly difficult to break through the political and media-imposed

stranglehold on the question of Jerusalem." he recounted Jerusalem's

recent history, recalling in particular the UN's General Assembly

Resolution 181 of 1947 calling for Jerusalem to be considered a 'corpus

separatum' under the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations," a

resolution which Israel accepted. He pointed out that, in addressing the

gridlock which has resulted from the 1967 Israeli occupation of East

Jerusalem, "the Holy See has therefore advocated the granting to

Jerusalem of an 'internationally guaranteed special statute. That is the

phrase used by Pope John Paul II in his 1984 Apostolic Letter

'Redemption is Anno'."

This statute "asks that regardless of how the problem of sovereignty

is resolved and who is called to exercise it, there should be a supranational

and international entity endowed with means adequate to

insure the preservation of the special characteristics of the City, its Holy

Places, the freedom to visit them, its religious and ethnic communities,

a guarantee of their essential liberties, and its city plan'."

The apostolic nuncio recalled the establishment of diplomatic

relations between the Holy See and Israel in 1993, when both signed

the 'Fundamental Agreement." He noted Article 4 of this agreement

where "both the Holy See and Israel affirm their continuing

commitment to the 'Status quo' in the Christian Holy Places."

He also spoke of the problems sparked by Israel's recent

authorization of "a project for the construction of settlements in

occupied territory in East Jerusalem" for which "there was wide-spread

international condemnation." This issue, he reminded those present,

was brought before the UN Security Council on March 7 and March 21

of this year, but without resolution "because the sole country on the

Security Council which opposed the Resolution was the United States."

An Emergency Session of the General Assembly, "organized only

nine other times in the history of the United Nations" was held on April

24-25. The Holy See delegation was contacted and asked for

suggestions for a Resolution, Archbishop Martino said. And he

recounted the meetings, rough drafts of proposals and negotiations

which followed.

The approved texts of the eventual Resolution, he underlined,

contained "those points championed by the Holy See.... The General

Assembly has here called for 'internationally guaranteed provisions' -

the equivalent of the 'internationally guaranteed special status' called

for by Pope John Paul II. This is particularly noteworthy because in

this case, the Arab delegations all voted for this Resolution and

therefore for this provision."

"The Holy Places within Jerusalem," concluded Archbishop Martino,

"are not merely museum relics to be opened and closed by the

dominant political authority, no matter who that might be at any given

moment. They are living shrines precious to the hearts and faith of

believers." DELSS/STATUS JERUSALEM/UN:MARTINO VIS

970616 (640)

Could that supra-national entity which will oversee the international

city of Jerusalem be the Vatican just as Peres promised? And how do

we react to Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert's recent announcement that

he will begin negotiations with the Vatican, but "only over holy sites?"

Even after Israel pushed it's aggressor enemies beyond Jerusalem's

boundaries in 1968, Israel remained compliant to the U.N.

recommendation by allowing the Islamic Waqf to maintain control over

the Temple Mount. I can think of no other reason why Israel did not move

in and destroy the Dome of the Rock and other Islamic edifices to take

possession of the Temple Mount other than “the times of the Gentiles”

prophetically spoken of by Jesus has not yet been fulfilled. The Daniel

chapter two Mystery Babylon Image still stands.

For the most part the world refuses to recognize Israel's sovereignty

over Jerusalem even though the United States Congress in 1995

overwhelmingly passed the "Jerusalem Embassy Act" stating that

"Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of Israel and the United

States Embassy in Israel should be established in Jerusalem no later than

May 31, 1999." The provocative nature of this issue continues to prevent

the actual move to this day. The facts on the ground ultimately prove that

even the United States denies Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem until this

very day.

Jerusalem Old City Initiative

The Jerusalem Old City Initiative, was bolstered by the implementation

of the Oslo Peace Accord and is a fruit of the peace process and inter faith

dialogue. The 2005 formation of The Council of the Religious Institutions

of the Holy Land with Muslims, Jews, Catholics and Christians in its

governing body has in their statement of faith the declaration of a one

world type of religion which contends that all faiths lead to the same god.

Statement of faith:

As religious leaders of different faiths, who share the conviction in the

one Creator, Lord of the Universe; we believe that the essence of

religion is to worship G-d and respect the life and dignity of all human

beings, regardless of religion, nationality and gender.

– Chapter Two –

The Rapture Will Be Canceled

Well not really canceled, perhaps we’ll just have to postpone it a couple

of times before it's called off altogether! The starting point for our little

examination will be a present day building of a Jewish Temple on the

Temple Mount, and unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you know that

millions of dollars worth of preparation have already been made toward

this end. When it begins you may want to lay down all of your

presupposition, because I’m sure of one thing, that there will be plenty of

surprises for all concerned.

However this starting point will need something bigger than money, it

will need a treaty of some sort, because Jerusalem with the Old City has

been declared an “International City” and that means it belongs to the

Nations. Jesus said, “…and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the

Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” (Luke 21:24) And

that word ‘Gentiles’ is the same word that may be translated ‘Nations’

from the original Greek, so he could have said, “until the times of the

Nations be fulfilled” because in context it actually means “nations other

than Israel”. I believe this is a reference to the same event described at the

end of Daniel Chapter Two where the Mystery Babylon Image is

obliterated at Messiah's Appearing.

The rebuilding of the Jewish Temple and re-institution of the Priest

Temple Sacrifice System have been foretold numerous times through the

Old Testament. But, every instance of this prophecy has been followed by

its fulfillment with the Rebuilt Temple after the Babylonian Captivity and

the seventy years Desolation even though it was not built completely to

the specifications of the book of Ezekiel, (I believe it will never be built to

those specifications until after Jesus returns). Does this mean there will

not be another attempt to build the Jewish Temple and restore the Priest

Temple Sacrifice System before the Messiah returns?

It is very likely that there will be an attempt to build a Third Jewish

Temple, but it may or may not be completed, because the Bible does not

have one prophecy of the rebuilding of this Temple that was given after

the actual Second Temple was completed as chronicled at Ezra chapter six,

(which was later refurbished and expanded by Herod). The omission of

such prophecy and specific language detailing a Third Temple may lead us

to safely conclude that such prophecies have been completely fulfilled and

any attempt to build another Temple in this era may or may not reach

fruition.

When an agreement or treaty does arise which includes the building of a

New Temple, for many in the Christian and Evangelical World this will be

the starting shot for what they believe to be a Seven Year Tribulation

Period which is based upon a non-literal interpretation of the Daniel

Seventy Weeks prophecy. The Daniel text simply does not support this

supposition because it is based solely upon conjecture. Taken literally the

events of Daniel’s Seventy Weeks were allotted a four hundred and ninety

year time period within which to be fulfilled and history shows that it has

been completely fulfilled. More about this later.

Nevertheless it is more than likely that a Third Temple will commence

to be built to the end of restoring the Priest Temple Sacrifice System. And

when this happens all of the Rapture enthusiasts will become very excited.

But their enthusiasm will be shortly tempered when they do not begin to

fly away. All of the Pre-Tribulation Rapturists will suddenly join the Mid-

Tribulation Rapture camp and hunker down for another three and a half

years.

The Politician who is assigned to bring this Treaty or Agreement will be

identified by the adherents of the Left Behind/Seven Year Tribulation

scheme of Eschatology as the Anti-Christ character commensurate with

those fictional books. They will not be disappointed in the fact that any

treaty will be broken and it is unlikely that the Temple Sacrifice System

will even be instituted. Whether the Sacrifice actually begins or not, just

the end of the agreement will be enough to qualify as “putting an end to

the sacrifice” as required by the script.

The script calls for this to happen in the middle of the Pseudo

Seventieth Week and will be followed as close as possible so that when the

first three and a half years pass the Rapture adherents will once again be

ready to be raptured into the air to meet Jesus and the dead in Christ! But

they will be disappointed once again requiring a last grasp to the Post-

Tribulation Rapture position. Of course this last three and a half years will

pass in desperate anticipation by those who have now been disappointed

twice. Surely this final wait will be absolutely secure in its expectation

because in the minds of those indoctrinated in the Left Behind-Seven Year

Tribulation Deception there is no other position to move to.

By the end of this Counterfeit Seventieth Week enough of the attributes

of the Fictional Series will be accomplished to satisfy its true believers.

The Puppet False Anti-Christ who makes and or breaks the treaty will be

deposed or worse. This will also be the final blow to the Rapture and for

its adherents, the death of hope for a resurrection event that precedes the

grave. The New World Social-Economic Order with its main features:

Social Justice, Charity in Truth, Financial and Religious Equality (Social-

Commu-Facism) will be introduced to a world that has been thoroughly

conditioned for the event by a team of New World Leaders.

These leaders, with the True Anti-Christ who will assuage their

disappointment by proclaiming, “I Am the Vicar of Christ, the true

fulfillment of the prophecy and now begins a Millennial Reign. an

Evolution to a New World Social-Economic Order of Peace.” A Jubilee

will be proclaimed, National Debts will be forgiven to kick off the New

Fair and Equal Monetary System. The Three Great Mono-Theistic

Religions will be united in peace. It will be like heaven on earth! The

requirement of forced peace, like Pax Romana will tell the tale, as the

Messiah warned, “the violent take it by force.” No one will ever be forced

into the true Kingdom of God, this would violate the very principle of the

Gospel of the Kingdom which requires voluntary repentance. This is why

Social-Commu-Facism is an abomination to God.

All of the Ecumenical Evangelical Religious leaders will affirm to their

congregations, “that there has always been a debate about the Rapture...

Pre – Mid – Post – Tribulation, so that we should not be disappointed

because what is sure is the gospel that we have learned for the last hundred

years. Don’t you know, we get to go to heaven when we die?” And all the

people will exclaim, “Oh Yea! We get to go to heaven when we die!”

However this too is a subtle deception because Jesus never said, “Repent

for you get to go to heaven when you die.” Rather He did warn of bad

preachers who would “shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye

neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.”

Mat 23:13

Jesus' Gospel was different, He said, …Repent: for the kingdom of

heaven is at hand. (Mat 4:17) and the Bible clearly teaches that we go to

the resurrection when we die only if we are already in His Kingdom for

He also proclaimed , …he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall

be saved. (Mat 24:13) Nowhere does the Bible teach that the Resurrection

is preceded by a seven year tribulation period. Neither does it teach that

the resurrection follows Daniels seventieth week. When you see the

Temple begin to be rebuilt it may actually initiate a seven year countdown

to the overt reign of the True Anti-Christ and the beginning of the New

World Social-Economic Order with its companion Mark of the Beast

Monetary System. Please do not be so quick to dismiss the almost

unbelievable, but very carefully crafted great delusion exposed here.

How are we respond to these things? We should continue to walk in the

Spirit and be led by the Spirit, our Creator calls His Elect to obey to His

commandments, allow His Holy Spirit to bring forth the fruit of

repentance in your life, “the good works which God has before ordained

that we might walk in them.” If you cannot obey Him now, how do you

think He will lead you when the time is critical? Learn to trust and obey

Him now and you will be able to hear and obey Him through this Global

Great Depression, coming world conflicts and Mark of the Beast

Inquisition. Cross the Border into His Kingdom, obey the King and live

forever, nothing is more important!

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the

kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither

suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (Mat 23:13)

Rapture Origins

I never could understand the Secret Rapture Doctrine, how does that

work? Millions of people disappear from the earth, and nobody

notices? What is that, a Doctor Who episode?

Unfortunately, we are not talking about a Doctor Who episode. The

reason it is a secret is because God did not put it in His Word! This fact

alone I find very troubling. But God first revealed it to a Church of

Scotland minister, named Edward Irving, who was the first to preach the

“rapture gospel” about 1830. One of his church members, Margaret

MacDonald consequently had a vision from which the pre-tribulation

rapture sprang. This “secret rapture” was promoted by Irving claiming he,

too, had heard a “voice” from heaven commanding him to teach it. Some

modern researchers submit that Irving’s speculations of the “...rapture

were influenced by the Spanish Jesuit Priest Lacunza, whose book Irving

had translated in 1827 under the title, The coming of the Messiah in Glory

and Majesty.”

Today Rapture Eschatology is a purely Protestant and Evangelical held

doctrine. Official Catholic doctrine holds any one who believes in a

literal-physical return of Christ and a thousand year reign to be heretics

according to Mark Mallet the Modern Catholic Evangelist and Prophet.

So the question arises; Why are Protestants using a Latin word like rapture

instead of English or at least the Greek from which our Protestant Bibles

are translated? Perhaps the speculation which has scrutinized Irving’s

work as springing from the influence of the Jesuit Priest Lacunza should

be seriously considered. Especially in light of the fact that the highly

debated three raptures are anchored upon a false interpretation of Daniels

70th week and the counter-reformation end-time Anti-Christ eschatology

of another Jesuit Priest, 16th century Francisco Ribera.

My conclusion? Rapture is a Latin cult word. I believe in the

Resurrection. That God did not put the rapture in His Word can only be

explained by the fact that He allegedly kept it a secret until He revealed it

to Mr. Irving about 1830. What this means is that God gave him a private

interpretation! I think the bible adequately addresses the subject of private

interpretation:

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that

ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day

dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (20) Knowing this first, that

no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (21) For the

prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God

spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2Peter 1:19-21

There are very few verses that directly address the Resurrection in

detail. You will notice that none of them incorporate time lapsed phases

into the event nor is it anywhere said to precede, divide or follow a seven

year tribulation period. Neither is it ever related to Daniel’s seventieth

week.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them

which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which

sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the

word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of

the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself

shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,

and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we

which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the

clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-

18)

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be

changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the

trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we

shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)

The challenge is to find:

- Any verse that explicitly divides the resurrection into several events.

- Any verse that explicitly states that the resurrection is tied to a seven

year tribulation period.

- Any verse that explicitly places the resurrection in, around, or at the

end of the seventieth week of Daniel.

- Any verse that places the resurrection anywhere other than at the last

trump preceding the return of Christ.

None of those hypothesis are possible with out the construction of

conjecture, by conjecture any proposition may be constructed. Pure

conjecture is not the proper way to interpret Bible prophecy.

AI Overview

There is no scientific "clone" of the biblical King David. In theological and historical contexts, the concept refers to figures deemed "counterfeit Davids" (such as Jeroboam or Omri) who mirrored his reign, or the expected Messiah, who is prophesied to be a paternal descendant and spiritual "clone" (a direct successor) to restore the Davidic line.

Wikipedia

Messianic Expectation: Jewish tradition holds that the Messiah will be a human king from David’s bloodline, effectively a successor embodying his legacy.

"Counterfeit Davids": The Books of Kings describe leaders like Jeroboam and Omri as having biographies designed to resemble David's, acting as "counterfeit" versions of him to set up dynasties in the Northern Kingdom.

Historical Evidence: The only physical, non-biblical "proof" of David is the Tel Dan inscription, which refers to the "House of David" as a royal dynasty, not a single clone.

YouTube

Note: There is a unrelated 2024 news item mentioning a "Montana Mountain King" as a cloned sheep, which is likely a completely separate query result.

Bones is an American police procedural drama television series created by Hart Hanson for Fox. It premiered on September 13, 2005, and concluded on March 28, 2017, airing for 246 episodes over 12 seasons. The show is based on forensic anthropology and forensic archaeology, with each episode focusing on a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) to Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel), a forensic anthropologist. It also explores the personal lives of the characters. The rest of the main cast includes Michaela Conlin, T. J. Thyne, Eric Millegan, Jonathan Adams, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, and John Boyd.

The series is based on the life and novels of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs,[1] who also produced the show. Its title character, Temperance Brennan, is named after the protagonist of Reichs' crime novel series. In the Bones universe, Brennan writes successful mystery novels featuring a fictional forensic anthropologist named Kathy Reichs.

Bones is a joint production by Josephson Entertainment and Far Field Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and syndicated by 20th Television.[2] The series is the longest-running one-hour drama series produced by 20th Century Fox Television.[3]

Premise

The premise of the show is an alliance between forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. Brennan is the central character and team leader of the fictional Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab, a federal institution that collaborates with the FBI. This reflects the historical relationship between the FBI and scientists of the Smithsonian Institution. Set in Washington, D.C., the show revolves around solving federal legal cases by examining the human remains of possible murder victims. While the majority of their cases take place in the surrounding Washington metropolitan area, they have been called in to investigate cases in other locales, including Mexico, Argentina, and Iran.

Brennan and her team provide scientific expertise, and Booth provides FBI criminal investigation techniques. In addition to the prospective murder cases featured in each episode, the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of its characters, particularly the romantic tension between Brennan and Booth. An important ongoing dynamic between Brennan and Booth is their disagreement about science and faith. Brennan argues for science, evidence, and atheism. Booth argues for intuition, faith, and God. Their relationship is highlighted by the introduction of Lance Sweets, an FBI psychologist, who not only helps inform the investigations, but also is meant to serve as a mediator for Brennan and Booth.

The series is known for its dark comedic undertones, which serve to lighten the gravity of the show's intense subject matter, human bodies in an advanced state of decay. While many of the cases they investigate are self-contained to singular episodes, and generally deal with murders that are motivated by personal desires, the team does occasionally investigate serial killers – such as the Gravedigger, the Puppeteer, Howard Epps, and Gormogon – and politically charged perpetrators such as Jacob Broadsky.

The series also features the interpersonal relationships of the Jeffersonian staff – including pathologist and coroner Camille Saroyan, forensic artist Angela Montenegro, entomologist Jack Hodgins, and a rotating set of interns who assist Dr. Brennan – and how their cases and victims affect their views and lives.

The Bone Church

5 August, 2017 / Architecture, Art

Known as “The Bone Church”, the Sedlec Ossuary (aka Kostnice Ossuary Beinhaus) is a small Roman Catholic chapel located in a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. Within, lies an estimated 40,000-60,000 bones decorated into splendid, bone chilling art.

Including the stunning chandelier designed from almost every human bone in the body, the ossuary is furnished with other macabre art such as the six huge bone pyramid of skulls, two bone chalices, four baroque skull candelabras, and garlands of (yes, more) bones draped across the vault. My personal grim favourite is the Schwarzenberg coat of arms complete with a raven pecking the eye of severed head of a Turk.

History of the Sedlec Ossuary began in 1278 when Abbot Henry of the Sedlec Monastery scattered “holy soil” from Golgotha (where Jesus was crucified) across the abbey cemetery, which marked it as one of the most desired burial site for people all over Central Europe. Not long after, more than 30,000 found its resting place within the cemetery and to make room for the newly dead, bodies were moved into the crypt.

The story continues that in 1511, a half blind monk stacked the bones into pyramids, but it was František Rint, the woodcarver, who was commissioned the grave task of redecorating the thousands of bones. Rint’s artistic talent led him to create the grand chandelier amongst his other works of art found in the chapel today. To ensure a uniformed look across the chapel, Rint even bleached the bones. Today, his artist’s signature remains up the wall alongside his other creations, composed in his unique medium of choice, bone.

The Crowns of America

So often one hears politicians quoting the British Constitution as if it actually exists by way of adocumentary privilege — but it does not. It is simply an accumulation of old customs and precedents concerning parliamentary sanctions, together with a number of specific laws defining certain aspects. Since Scotland's 1320 Declaration of Arbroath was nullified by England's Treaty of Union in 1707, the oldest Written Constitution now in force is that of the United States of America. It was adopted in 1787, ratified in 1788, and effected in 1789. In that same year began the French Revolution, which abolished feudalism and ‘absolute’ monarchy in France, thereby influencing politics in much of Europe. In close to 200 years since the Revolution, France and other European States (with Britain as a noticeable exception) have adopted Written Constitutions to protect the rights and liberties of individuals — but who champions these Constitutions on behalf of the people? A popular alternative to absolute monarchy or dictatorship has been found in Republicanism. The Republic of the United States was created primarily to free the emergent nation from the despotism of Britain’s House of Hanover. Yet its citizens tend still to be fascinated by the concept of monarchy. No matter how Republican the spirit, the need for a central symbol remains. Neither a flag nor a president can fulfil this unifying role, for by virtue of the ‘party system’ presidents are always politically motivated. Republicanism was devised on the principle of fraternal status, yet an ideally classless society can never exist in an environment that promotes displays of eminence and superiority by degrees of wealth and possession. For the most part, those responsible for the United States’ morally inspired Constitution were Rosicrucians and Freemasons, notable characters such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Charles Thompson. The last, who designed the Great Seal of the United States of America, was a member of Franklin’s American Philosophical Society — a counterpart of Britain’s Invisible College. The imagery of the Seal is directly related to alchemical tradition, inherited from the allegory of the ancient Egyptian Therapeutate. The eagle, the olive branch, the arrows, and the pentagrams are all occult symbols of opposites: good and evil, male and female, war and peace, darkness and light. On the reverse (as repeated on the dollar bill) is the truncated pyramid, indicating the loss of the Old Wisdom, severed and forced underground by the Church establishment. But above this are the rays of ever-hopeful light, incorporating the ‘all-seeing eye’, used as a symbol during the French Revolution.

In establishing their Republic, the Americans could still not escape the ideal of a parallel monarchy — a central focus of non-political, patriotic attachment. George Washington was actually offered kingship, but declined because he had no immediately qualifying heritage. Instead he turned to the Royal House of Stuart. In November 1782 four Americans arrived at the San Clemente Palazzo in Florence, the residence of Charles III Stuart in exile. They were Mr Galloway of Maryland, two brothers named Sylvester from Pennsylvania, and Mr Fish, a lawyer from New York. They were taken to Charles Edward by his secretary, John Stewart. Also present was the Hon Charles Hervey-Townshend (later Britain’s ambassador to The Hague) and the Prince's future wife, Marguerite, Comtesse de Massillan. The interview — which revolved around the contemporary transatlantic dilemma — is doctimented in the US Senate archives and in the Manorwater Papers. Writers such as Sir Compton Mackenzie and Sir Charles Petrie have also described the occasion when Charles Edward Stuart was invited to become ‘King of the Americans’. Some years earlier, Charles had been similarly approached by the men of Boston, but once the War of Independence was over George Washington sent his own envoys. It would have been a great irony for the House of Hanover to lose the North American colonies to the Stuarts. But Charles declined the offer for a number of reasons, not the least of which was his lack of a legitimate male heir at the time. He knew that without a due successor the United States could easily fall to Hanover again at his death, thereby defeating the whole Independence effort. Since those days, many other radical events have taken place: the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, two major World Wars, and a host of changes as countries have swapped one style of government for another. Meanwhile, civil and international disputes continue just as they did in the Middle Ages. They are motivated by trade, politics, religion, and whatever other banners are flown to justify the constant struggle for territorial and economic control. The Holy Roman Empire has disappeared, the German Reichs have failed, and the British Empire has collapsed. The Russian Empire fell to Communism, which has itself been disgraced and crumbled to ruin, while Capitalism teeters on the very brink of acceptability. With the Cold War now ended, America faces a new threat to her superpower status from the Pacific countries. In the meantime, the nations of Europe band together in what was once a seemingly well conceived economic community, but which is already suffering from the same pressures of individual custom and national sovereignty that beset the Holy Roman Empire. Whether nations are governed by military-style regimes or elected parliaments, by autocrats or democrats, and whether formally described as monarchist, socialist or republican, the net product is always the same: the few control the fate of the many. In situations of dictatorship this is a natural experience — but it should not be the case in a democratic institution based on the principle of majority vote. True democracy is government by the people for the people, in either direct or representative form, ignoring class distinctions and tolerating minority views. The American Constitution sets out an ideal for this form of democracy ... but, in line with other nations, there is always a large sector of the community that is not represented by the party in power. Because presidents and prime ministers are politically tied, and because political parties take their respective turns at individual helms, the inevitable result is a lack of continuity for the nations concerned. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but there is no reliable ongoing institution to champion the civil rights and liberties of people in such conditions of ever-changing leadership. Britain does, at least, retain a monarchy, but it is a politically constrained monarchy, and as such is ineffectual in performing its role as guardian of the nation. The United States, unlike Britain, has a Written Constitution — but has no one with the power to uphold its principles against successive governments who determinedly pursue their own politically vested interests. Is there an answer to the anomaly — an answer that could bring not just a ray of hope but a shining light for the future? There certainly is, but its energy relies on those in governmental service appreciating their roles as ‘representatives’ of society rather than presuming to stand at the head of society. Alongside the political administration, an appointed Constitutional champion would be empowered to keep check on any potential disparities and infringements of the Constitution that might occur. This can be achieved in the manner first envisaged by George Washington and the American Fathers. Their original plan was for a democratic Parliament combined with a working Constitutional Monarchy bound not to Parliament or the Church but to the people and their Written Constitution. In such an environment, sovereignty would ultimately rest with the people, while the monarch (as an operative Guardian of the Realm) would pledge an ‘Oath of Fealty to the Nation’ — not the reverse, as in Britain’s case, whereby the nation pays homage to the sovereignty of Parliament and the monarchy. The unfulfilled ambition of the American Fathers was that government ministers should be elected by the majority vote of the people, but that their actions be directed within the boundaries of the Constitution. Because that Constitution belongs to the people, its champion — as George Washington perceived — should be a monarch whose obligation is not to politics or religion but to the sovereign nation. Through the natural system of heredity (being born and bred to the task), such a Constitutional guardian would provide an ‘ongoing continuity’ of public representation through successive governments. In this regard both monarchs and ministers would be servants of the Constitution on behalf of the Community of the Realm. Such a concept of moral government lies at the very heart of the Grail Code, and it remains within the bounds of possibility for every civilized Nation State. A leading British politician recently claimed that it was not his job to be popular! Not so—a popular minister is a trusted minister, and holding a deserved electoral trust facilitates the democratic process. No minister can honestly expound an ideal of equality in society when that minister is deemed to possess some form of prior lordship over society. Class structure is always decided from above, never from below. It is therefore for those on self-made pedestals to be seen to kick them aside in the interests of harmony and unity. Jesus was not in the least humbled when he washed his Apostles’ feet; he was raised to the realm of a true Grail King — the realm of equality and princely service. This is the eternal ‘Precept of the Sangréal’, and it is expressed in Grail lore with the utmost clarity: only by asking ‘Whom does the Grail serve?’ will the wound of the Fisher King be healed, and the Wasteland returned to fertility.

Pope Leo XIV[a] (born Robert Francis Prevost,[b] pronounced /ˈpriːvoʊst/ PREE-vohst,[2][c] September 14, 1955) is the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City. He is the first pope to have been born in the United States, the first to hold either U.S. or Peruvian citizenships, the first from the Order of Saint Augustine, and the second (after his immediate predecessor Pope Francis) from the Americas.

Prevost was born in Chicago and raised in the neighboring town of Dolton, Illinois. He became a friar in the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and was ordained as a priest in 1982. He earned a Doctor of Canon Law (JCD) degree in 1987 from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. His service includes extensive missionary work in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s, during which he worked as a parish pastor, diocesan official, seminary teacher, and administrator. Elected prior general of the Order of Saint Augustine, he was based in Rome from 2001 to 2013, and traveled extensively as part of this work, including to the order's many provinces and missions around the world. He then returned to Peru as Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023. In 2023, Pope Francis appointed him prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in Rome, and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. Upon his return to Rome in 2023, Prevost was made a cardinal by Pope Francis.

As Cardinal, Prevost emphasized synodality, missionary dialogue, and engagement with social and technological challenges. He has also addressed issues such as climate change, global migration, church governance, and human rights, and expressed alignment with the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and the direction set for the Church by Francis. Prevost's election in the 2025 conclave was unexpected by observers; he was a dark horse candidate, with Vatican insiders believing the prospect of a pope from the United States to be unrealistic given its status as a superpower. In honor of Pope Leo XIII, who developed modern Catholic social teaching amid the tumult of the Second Industrial Revolution, Prevost chose the papal name Leo XIV—both to echo Leo XIII's concern for workers and fairness, and as a response to the challenges of a new industrial revolution and artificial intelligence.

As pope, he has consistently opposed armed conflict and nationalism while advocating for the rights of migrants. He has introduced new warnings about the use of artificial intelligence technology. He has affirmed the teachings of his predecessors, including social teachings and the climate policy of Pope Francis. He has consistently pointed to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council as the "guiding star" of the Church.

"School Hard" is the third episode of the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the fifteenth episode in the series. Written by Joss Whedon with David Greenwalt, and directed by John T. Kretchmer, it was originally broadcast on September 29, 1997, on The WB network.

Synopsis

PARENTS IN THE NIGHT — When parent-teacher night is interrupted by uninvited guests, Buffy must protect her fellow students, the principal and her mother while keeping her secret. Meanwhile, Angel's old friends, Spike and Drusilla visit Sunnydale for The Night of Saint Vigeous — the holy night of attack.[1]

Summary

At Sunnydale High School, Buffy and Sheila Martini are meeting with Principal Snyder in his office. He assigns them the task of preparing the school lounge for parent-teacher night on Thursday, stating that whoever does the better job will avoid expulsion. He also hints that doing a good job will positively influence what he tells their parents. Sheila’s lack of concern only adds to Buffy’s stress, as she's already struggling to balance her Slayer duties with her social life. Later that evening, Joyce tells Buffy that if Snyder gives her a bad report, she won't be allowed to hang out with her friends.

That night, a vampire named Spike drives into Sunnydale, knocking down the city's welcome sign. Meanwhile, in the abandoned factory that now serves as their lair, the Anointed One has called together the remaining members of the Order of Aurelius. With the Master dead and no chance of resurrecting him, they discuss who will serve alongside the Anointed One. With the Night of Saint Vigeous approaching — when vampires are at the height of their power — they agree that whoever kills the Slayer will take the Master's place. As one vampire brags about his strength, Spike saunters in and effortlessly puts him in his place. He then offers to kill Buffy, revealing that he's already killed two Slayers. Moments later, Drusilla — Spike's eerie companion with psychic abilities and a twisted sense of reality — appears and cryptically speaks of Buffy's actions, urging Spike to kill her. Intrigued, the Anointed One agrees to give Spike the chance.

As the Scooby Gang make a banner for parent-teacher night, Giles and Jenny arrive to warn Buffy that Saturday will be the Night of Saint Vigeous. However, Buffy is unimpressed. Later that evening, she attempts to balance school and her social life by studying French at the Bronze with Xander and Willow. Spike watches her from a dark corner and sends a vampire outside to attack a girl. Buffy quickly responds, slaying the vampire while Spike observes from the shadows. Applauding her performance, he emerges from the darkness to compliment her fighting skills and warns that he intends to kill her on Saturday. Later that night, Spike encounters Sheila, who is captivated by his dangerous charm and eagerly follows him.

Later in the library, Giles does not recognize Spike based on Buffy’s description. Suddenly, Angel arrives and warns them that Spike is notoriously dangerous and won't stop until everything in his path is destroyed. He then leaves abruptly without saying goodbye. Giles later uncovers Spike's real name, William the Bloody, and learns that he's already killed two Slayers. His nickname, "Spike," comes from his reputation for torturing victims with railroad spikes.

Meanwhile, Spike and Drusilla settle into a room in the factory, where Drusilla begins unpacking her collection of dolls. Still weakened from an attack by an angry mob in Prague, she remains frail, and Spike hopes that being near the Hellmouth will help restore her strength. He urges her to feed on Sheila, who's bound and gagged in the corner. Drusilla warns Spike that the Anointed One and his followers don’t trust him, then sends him upstairs while she feeds on Sheila.

On Thursday night, the Scoobies prepare weapons in the library while Buffy makes snacks for parent-teacher night. Despite her efforts to keep her mother from interacting with any teachers, Joyce eventually crosses paths with Principal Snyder. After their conversation, a frustrated Joyce orders Buffy to the car — just as Spike and a group of vampires crash through the school windows. Spike tells Buffy he couldn’t wait, making it clear he's eager to face her sooner than Saturday. In the ensuing chaos, Buffy leads the adults to safety in the science classroom, while Xander, Giles, and Jenny barricade themselves inside the library. Willow and Cordelia hide in a utility closet, and Xander is sent to find Angel. Buffy instructs the adults to stay put as she climbs into the ceiling ducts to reach the library and retrieve her weapons.

Xander returns to the school with Angel, who pretends to be his former evil self. Although Spike initially greets Angel as an old friend, he soon sees through the deception, forcing Xander and Angel to flee. Outside, Xander criticizes Angel for not fully thinking the plan through, pointing out that Spike could have easily killed him. He then questions Angel about Spike calling him his sire.

Buffy and Spike finally face off in the hallway, and Buffy is almost defeated — until her mother appears and hits Spike over the head with the flat of a fire axe. Caught off guard, Spike falls to the ground and mutters "Women!" in frustration before fleeing through a nearby window. Joyce tells Buffy she's proud to have a daughter who knows how to take care of herself and others in a crisis, dismissing any concerns raised by Principal Snyder. Meanwhile, Snyder tells the police chief to blame the incident on a gang under the influence of PCP. When the chief wonders if people will believe it, Snyder asks if he'd rather tell the truth. In the closet, Cordelia and Willow are unaware the vampires are gone. As Cordelia prays for their rescue and vows to be a better person if saved, Willow looks on in disbelief.

Spike returns to the factory and tells Drusilla he has never encountered a Slayer with friends or family but promises he will kill Buffy. He then reluctantly approaches the Anointed One, who demands penance for ruining the Feast of St. Vigeous due to his impatience. Spike feigns submission but quickly seizes the Anointed One, locking him in a cage while knocking out a vampire who tries to intervene. As the others watch in shock, Spike raises the cage into the sunlight streaming through the factory's shutters, killing the Anointed One. After declaring that there will now be less ritual and more fun in Sunnydale, Spike leads Drusilla to their room to watch television.

Continuity

Spike's rather dramatic arrival in Sunnydale (running over the "Welcome to Sunnydale" sign) is later recreated in "Lovers Walk"; the only difference is him being drunk. He makes the sign fall for one last time in "Chosen."

When Sheila asks Buffy if she really burnt down a building one time, Buffy replies, "Not exactly one time," referencing the events of The Origin, Part Three, and "Some Assembly Required."

Spike mentions killing a Slayer during the Boxer Rebellion, referring to Xin Rong, as seen in the episode "Fool for Love," when both times he killed a Slayer are shown.

This episode is the first appearance of Spike, who plays a significant role throughout this series and in the final season of Angel. The episode also marks the first appearance of Drusilla, who was also a recurring threat and influence in both series.

Drusilla and Spike being attacked by an angry mob in Prague, and her weakening is shown in the story "The Problem with Vampires."

The yo-yo Xander pulls out of Buffy's purse is the same one she was playing with in the beginning of "Some Assembly Required."

In this episode, Cordelia joins the other characters making stakes in the library without any specific backstory as to why she is there, marking her as a full Scooby for the first time.

This episode establishes that Spike killed two Slayers, an exception among vampires. Later, Drusilla will achieve this status by killing Kendra ("Becoming, Part One") and Marianne (Family Reunion, Part Four).

This is the first episode to reveal that Buffy's mother's name is Joyce Summers.

Joyce and Snyder meet for the first time in this episode, developing their mutual disdain into season 3.

Spike calls Angel his sire; in "Fool for Love," it's revealed that it was Drusilla who directly sired him, but Angel would become his mentor, as seen in "Destiny."

In this episode, Spike seems quite happy to see Angel, although they have had a very rocky relationship even when Angel had no soul. This animosity will remain through both the Buffy and Angel series.

Spike tells Buffy that the last Slayer he killed begged for her life. In the episode "Damage," the deranged Slayer Dana repeats Nikki's plea: "Please, I have to get home to my son Robin."

This episode establishes that Principal Snyder and the police are aware that there are supernatural happenings in Sunnydale. This foreshadows the development of Mayor Richard Wilkins as the Big Bad of season 3.

Spike complains about "a Slayer with family and friends." Buffy's rejection of the typical "lone wolf" style of slaying will come up frequently in the series, usually in the context of people questioning her competence ("Restless," "Checkpoint").

This episode marks the first time that a vampire, the Anointed One, is killed by immolation in sunlight, though it occurs off-screen. It will occur on-screen for the first time in "Becoming, Part One."

Watchdog slams PA over claim of Israeli restrictions on Al-Aqsa for ‘Passover sacrifice’

"Claiming that Israel and Jews want to have a sacrifice on the Temple Mount ... is an outrageous libel and the worst terror incitement," Itamar Marcus told JNS.

(March 11, 2026 / JNS)

A Palestinian media watchdog reported Wednesday that official Palestinian Authority TV is “libeling” Israel by falsely claiming that Israeli wartime restrictions at Al-Aqsa mosque are intended to facilitate an extremist Jewish Passover sacrifice.

Israel’s across-the-board ban on public gatherings of more than 50 people out of security concerns went into effect following the outbreak of war in Iran on Feb. 28.

But an inflammatory report on Monday on official P.A. TV said that the limitations were geared to enable Jews to carry out a Passover sacrifice at the Jerusalem holy site, which has long been a tinderbox in the Middle East.

“The Jerusalem Governorate emphasized in a statement that what is being done [against Al-Aqsa] is not within the framework of temporary security measures as claimed by the occupation authorities, but rather constitutes part of a political and ideological process seeking to change the religious, historical and legal reality of the holy compound at the Temple Mount (Al-Haram Al-Qudsi Al-Sharif),” the TV presenter said in Arabic, according to a translation by Palestinian Media Watch.

“Exploiting the fact of the continued closure of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the gates of the Old City for ten consecutive days now, during the month of Ramadan, under the pretext of the security situation, extremist Temple organizations have launched awareness campaigns, with the aim of carrying out what is called the Passover sacrifice inside the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque [i.e., the Temple Mount]. These campaigns include calls to sacrifice an animal on the Jewish Passover holiday inside Al-Aqsa Mosque this year … within the framework of unprecedented developments for the conquest of Jerusalem,” the reporter added. “This step is considered a dangerous escalation and an attempt to establish new facts on the ground at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Itamar Marcus, founder and director of Palestinian Media Watch, told JNS on Wednesday, “Claiming that Israel and Jews want to have a sacrifice on the Temple Mount, which in their eyes is a desecration of the mosque, is an outrageous libel and the worst terror incitement.”

He added, “The Palestinians identify as religious Muslims much more than they identify as Palestinians and if they believe there is a desecration of the mosque, it will push many people who are potential terrorists to consider terror attacks.”

The Israeli High Court of Justice has long rejected petitions to carry out Passover sacrifices near the Temple Mount, citing a threat to security and the inflammation of religious tensions. Israeli police have also intervened to prevent a Jewish group from carrying out such practices.

The Golden Child is a 1986 American dark fantasy action comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie. The film stars Eddie Murphy as Chandler Jarrell, a Los Angeles social worker who is informed that he is "The Chosen One", and is destined to save "The Golden Child", a kidnapped Tibetan boy with mystical powers who is said to be the savior of all humankind. Alongside Murphy, the film's cast includes Charlotte Lewis and Charles Dance.

The Golden Child was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures[5] and grossed a total of $79,817,937 at the United States domestic box office.[1][6]

Plot

In a remote temple in Tibet, a young boy – the Golden Child – demonstrates his mystical powers to the monks of the temple by reviving a dead eastern rosella, which becomes a constant companion and familiar. A mysterious man, Sardo Numspa, has his men break into the temple, slaughter the monks, and abduct the boy.

A young woman, Kee Nang, watches a Los Angeles TV show in which independent social worker and private detective Chandler Jarrell talks about a missing girl named Cheryll Mosley. Kee informs him of the kidnapping of the Golden Child and that he is the "chosen one" who will save the Child. Chandler does not take this seriously, even after a bird begins following him and he sees an astral projection of the Child. The next day, Cheryll is found dead near an abandoned house smeared with Tibetan graffiti and a pot full of blood-soaked oatmeal. Kee reveals to Chandler that this house was a holding place for the Child and introduces him to Doctor Hong, a mystic expert, and Kala (a creature half dragon, half woman).

Chandler and Kee track down a motorcycle gang, the Yellow Dragons, which Cheryll had joined, and Chinese restaurant owner Tommy Tong, a henchman of Numspa, to whom Cheryll had been "sold" for her blood, a way to make the Child vulnerable to earthly harm. However, Tong is killed by Numspa as a potential traitor. Still not taking the case too seriously, Chandler is drawn by Numspa into a controlled dream. Numspa presents his demands: the Ajanti Dagger (a mystic weapon capable of killing the Child) in exchange for the boy. Chandler agrees to help, and he and Kee spend the night together.

Chandler and Kee travel to Tibet, where Chandler is swindled by an amulet seller, later revealed as the High Priest of the temple where the dagger is kept hidden (and, subsequently, Kee's father). To obtain the knife, Chandler has to pass a test: an obstacle course in a bottomless cavern whilst carrying a glass of water without spilling a drop. With luck and wits, he recovers the blade and brings it into the United States.

That night, Numspa and his henchmen attack Chandler and Kee. The Ajanti Dagger is lost to the villains, and Kee takes a crossbow bolt meant for Chandler, dying in his arms while confessing her love for him. Doctor Hong and Kala offer him hope: as long as the sun shines upon Kee, the Child might be able to save her. With the help of the Child's familiar, Chandler locates Numspa's hideout, retrieves the dagger with the help of Til, one of Numspa's men converted to good by the Child, and frees the boy. When Chandler confronts Numspa, he reveals himself as a winged demon. Chandler and the Child escape, only to be trapped inside a warehouse. Chandler loses the dagger when the warehouse collapses.

Chandler and the Child head to Doctor Hong's shop, where Kee is being kept. Numspa attacks Chandler, but the amulet the Old Man sold Chandler protects him, then blasts the dagger from Numspa's hand. The Child uses his magic to place the dagger back into Chandler's hands, and Chandler stabs Numspa, destroying him. The Child then uses the last rays of sunlight and his powers to bring Kee back from the dead. The three later take a walk discussing the Child's return to Tibet.

Copilot branding

In Freemasonry, the color green is indeed associated with fertility and nature. It symbolizes rebirth, immortality, and the eternal renewal of life, reflecting the Masonic ideals of growth and hope. The acacia, or Masonic evergreen, is particularly noted for its association with moral life and rebirth, further emphasizing the significance of green in Masonic symbolism.

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.'

The Six Pointed Star

By, Dr. O.J. Graham

The Six-Pointed Star is going into its fourth edition. There have been thousands of letters over the years and comments are available upon request. The questions which are asked of this author are:

What made you even remotely curious that the six-pointed star might not be "Jewish"? After all, it is called the "Star of David" and has it not become the international insignia of Jewishness and the State of Israel?

The controversy and the challenge are answered in the book. The quest began at York University, Ontario, Canada, when an Orthodox Jewish friend of mine was investigating Messianic Judaism. Our intellectual conversation covered many topics which included the so-called Star of David, which he said he did not use as the symbol G-d really gave the children of Israel was the seven-branched Menorah. Being a journalist, he challenged me to explore the six-pointed star. And I accepted the challenge, with the plan that I would prove its Jewishness. After all, I wore one and felt I had to defend it, even to him.

That was the summer of 1979 and the research took me four years to complete. I found a few Jews who knew it was not Jewish, and these are mentioned in the book. Others did not think about it, and most did not care whether it was orignially occult or not - they did not think it mattered. I checked Jewish sources and all their encyclopaedias attested that it was not originally Jewish and was not used as the symbol for any of the twelve tribes of Israel. Jewish sources said it wasn't originally Jewish. So, what was it? That took four years of research. From archive to archive, library to library...history book to history book.

The first mention of the star was in Amos 5:26 regarding the trek from Egypt to Canaan. Then in 922 B.C., when Solomon married the daughter of Pharoah and went into magic and witchcraft and built an altar to Ashtoroth and Moloch. The book traces the six pointed star from Egypt to Solomon, to Arab Magic and Witchcraft, to Druid use(references are documented). The book traces the star through Freemasonry usage to Mayer Amschel Bauer, who, in the 17th century, changed his name to depict the red six-pointed star (or shield) which he had hung on his door in Germany, and thus began the family of "Red Shield" or Rothschild. The research carried on through this family, to their court of arms, to Cabala, to Astrology, to Hitler and his putting a yellow six-pointed star on all Jews during the holocaust, to the Zionist symbol, and finally to the flag of the State of Israel and beyond.

Because this symbol is comprised of a six within a six within a six (6 points, 6 triangles, 6 sides of the hexagon in the middle) the research also included a look at the 666 prophecies in the Book of Daniel etc., regarding the "wilful King" (anti-Christ) and the "mark of the beast". The Scriptural significance of the number seven and a Biblical description of the real Messiah and the seven-branched Candlestick (Menorah) which God gave to the children of Israel as an everlasting covenant (which is also mentioned in the New Testament) is covered. All the sources are written at the bottom of each page making it easy for readers to see and check for themselves.

I started out to defend this symbol, but ended up shocked and quite devasted with the evidence gleaned from the academic research. It is the only book on the origin and history of the six-pointed star or hexagram. Have a good read, check the references yourself, and I would be happy to hear your comments. All the best to you

The Farnese Cup or Tazza Farnese is a 2nd-century BC cameo hardstone carving bowl or cup made in Hellenistic Egypt of four-layered sardonyx agate. It is at the Naples National Archaeological Museum.[1] It is about 20 cm (8 in) wide and similar in form to a Greek phiale or Roman patera, with no foot.[2][3] It features relief carvings on both its exterior and interior surfaces.[2][3]

There is no surviving evidence regarding when and why the piece was made, though there is consensus among scholars that it was created in Alexandria, due to the blending of Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek or Roman iconography found in its relief carvings. This provides a range of time wherein it may have been created, spanning from approximately 300 BC to 20 BC.[2][4]

The underside has a large Gorgon's head occupying most of the area, probably intended to ward off evil. The upper side has a scene with several figures that has long puzzled scholars. It seems clearly an allegory containing several divine figures and perhaps personifications, but corresponds to no other known representation and has been interpreted in several different ways.

History

The origin of the Tazza Farnese is unknown, leaving archaeologists and art historians to theorize a date and purpose for its creation. While its size and the material used are usually considered, theories of origin are mainly arrived at via individual analysis of the iconography of the piece, and therefore vary from one analysis to the next.[2][3][4]

Many archaeologists and art historians attribute the Tazza to the Hellenistic Period, asserting that its blending of Greek and Egyptian cultural symbols, as well as the funds necessary to commission such a large gemstone cameo, tie it to the Ptolemaic court.[4] Though not a widely held view, more recent analyses of the piece have assigned it a later date in the Augustan Period.[2][3]

After Octavian's conquest of Egypt in 31 BC, the Farnese Cup was possibly acquired by the Treasury of Rome; according to some, it was only made after the Romans took Egypt. It seems it was later taken to Byzantium, then back west after this city was sacked in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade. By 1239 it was in the court of Frederick II,[5] from which it then reached the Persian court of Herat or possibly Samarkand, where a contemporary drawing documents it;[6] thence it found its way to the court of Alfonso of Aragon in Naples, where Angelo Poliziano saw it in 1458. Lorenzo the Magnificent finally purchased the famous "scutella di calcedonio" in Rome, in 1471. From there it came into the possession of the Farnese family through Margaret of Austria and thus into the Naples National Archaeological Museum[1]

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!'

The deadly wound, however, thus given to the Chaldean system, was destined to be healed. A colony of Etruscans, earnestly attached to — the Chaldean idolatry, had migrated, some say from Asia Minor, others from Greece, and settled in the immediate neighbourhood of Rome.§ They were ultimately incorporated in the Roman state, but long before this political union took place they exercised the most powerful influence on the religion of the Romans. From the very first their skill in augury, soothsaying, and all science, real or pretended, that the augurs or soothsayers monopolised, made the Romans look up to them with respect. at It is admitted on all hands that the Romans derived their knowledge of augury, which occu- pied so prominent a place in every public transaction in which they engaged, chiefly from the Tuscans,* that is, the people of Etruria, and first none but natives of that country were permitted to exercise the office of a Haruspex, which had respect to all the rites essentially involved in sacrifice.t Wars and disputes arose between Rome and the Etruscans; but still the highest of the noble youths of Rome were sent to Etruria to be instructed in the sacred science which flourished there.t The consequence was, that under the influence of men whose minds were moulded by those who clung to the ancient idol-worship, the Romans were brought back again to much of that idolatry which they had formerly repudiated and cast off. Though Numa, therefore, in setting up his religious system, so far deferred to the prevailing feeling of his day and forbade image- worship, yet in consequence of the alliance subsisting between Rome and Etruria in sacred things, matters were put in train for the ultimate subversion of that prohibition. The college of Pontiffs, of which he laid the foundation,§ in process of time came to be sub- stantially an Etruscan college, and the Sovereign Pontiff that pre- sided over that college, and that controlled all the public and private religious rites of the Roman people in all essential respects, became in spirit and in practice an Etruscan Pontiff. Still the the Sovereign Pontiff of Rome, even after the Etruscan idolatry was absorbed into the Roman system, was only an offshoot from grand original Babylonian system. He was a devoted worshipper of the Babylonian god; but he was not the legitimate representative of that God. The true legitimate Babylonian Pontiff had his seat beyond the bounds of the Roman empire. That seat, after the death of Belshazzar, and the expulsion of the Chaldean priesthood from Babylon by the Medo-Persian kings, was at Per- gamos, where afterwards was one of the seven churches of Asia.|| There, in consequence, for many centuries was ‘‘Satan’s seat” (Rev. ii, 13). * There, under favour of the deified {1 kings of Pergamos, was his favourite abode, there was the worship of Aisculapius, under the form of the serpent, celebrated with frantic orgies and excesses, that elsewhere were kept under some measure of restraint. At first, the Roman Pontiff had no immediate connection with Pergamos and the hierarchy there; yet, in course of time, the Pontificate of Rome and the Pontificate of Pergamos came to be identified. Pergamos itself became part and parcel of the Roman empire, when Attalus III., the last of its kings, at his death, left by will all his dominions to the Roman people, B.c. 133.* For some time after the kingdom of Pergamos was merged in the Roman dominions, there was no one who could set himself openly and advisedly to lay claim to all the dignity inherent in the old title of the kings of Pergamos. The original powers even of the Roman Pontiffs seem to have been by that time abridged,+ but when Julius Ceasar, who had previously been elected Pontifex Maximus,{ became also, as Emperor, the supreme civil ruler of the Romans, then, as head of the Roman state, and head of the Roman religion, all the powers and functions of the true legitimate Babylonian Pontiff were supremely vested in him, and he found himself in a position to assert these powers. Then he seems to have laid claim to the divine dignity of Attalus, as well as the kingdom that Attalus had bequeathed to the Romans, as centring in himself; for his well-known watchword, * Venus Genetrix,” which meant that Venus was the mother of the Julian race, appears to have been intended to make him “ The Son” of the great goddess, even as the ‘‘ Bull-horned” Attalus had been. regarded.§ Then, on certain occasions, in the exercise of his high pontifical office, he appeared of course in all the pomp of the Babylonian costume, as Belshazzar himself might have done, in robes of scarlet,|| with the crosier of Nimrod in his hand, wearing the mitre of Dagon and bearing the keys of Janus and Cybele.{] Thus did matters continue, as already stated, even under so-called Christian emperors ; who, as a salve to their consciences, appointed a heathen as their substitute in the performance of the more directly idolatrous functions of the pontificate (that substitute, however, acting in their name and by their authority), until the reign of Gratian, who, as shown by Gibbon, was the first that refused to be arrayed in the idolatrous pontifical attire, or to act as Pontifex.* Now, from all this it is evident that, when Paganism in the Roman empire was abolished, when the office of Pontifex Maximus was suppressed, and all the dignitaries of paganism were cast down from their seats of influence and of power, which they had still been allowed in some measure to retain, this was not merely the casting down of the Fiery Dragon of Rome, but the casting down of the Fiery Dragon of Babylon. It was just the enacting over again, in a symbolical sense, upon the true and sole legitimate successor of Nimrod, what had taken place upon himself, when the greatness of his downfall gave rise to the exclamation, “ How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!"

Giulia Farnese (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒuːlja farˈneːze, -eːse]; 1474 – 23 March 1524) was an Italian noblewoman, a mistress to Pope Alexander VI, and the sister of Pope Paul III.[2] Known as Giulia la Bella (Italian for 'Julia the Beautiful'), she was a member of the noble Farnese family, who were prominent leaders in the Italian regions of Parma and Piacenza.[2] After marrying into the noble Orsini family in the Papal States, Farnese soon acquainted herself with, and initiated an affair with, the Spanish Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia.

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

Francis Borgia SJ (Valencian: Francesc de Borja; Spanish: Francisco de Borja; 28 October 1510 – 30 September 1572) was a Spanish Jesuit priest. The great-grandson of both Pope Alexander VI and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, he was Duke of Gandía and a grandee of Spain. After the death of his wife, Borgia renounced his titles and became a priest in the Society of Jesus, later serving as its third superior general.

Pope Paul V (Latin: Paulus PP. V; Italian: Paolo V) (17 September 1550[5] – 28 January 1621), born Camillo Borghese, was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 16 May 1605 to his death, in January 1621.

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

Facade of St Peter's

"Paul V Borghese, Roman, Pontiff, in 1612, the seventh of his pontificate, [built] in honour of the Prince of Apostles

On February 10, 1608 the first stone of the Facade was laid and on July 21, 1612 most of the work was completed. It took another two years for the ornamentation, and the basilica was finally consecrated by Urban VIII on November 18, 1926.

From the central balcony, called the Loggia of the Blessings, the new pope is announced with "Habemus Papum", and gives the Urbi et Orbi blessing (to the city and to the world) upon his election and at Christmas and Easter. The relief under the balcony, by Buonvicino, represents Christ giving the keys to St. Peter. The facade is 114.69 metres (376.3 ft) wide and 45.55 metres (149.4 ft) high and is built of travertine.

Above the basic structure is an attic, with eight square windows decorated with small pilasters, surmounted by a balustrade and 13 statues in travertine. The statues on the balustrade represent Christ the Redeemer (19 feet high), St. John the Baptist and 11 Apostles. St. Mathias is included because he is associated with the other "Eleven" in bearing witness to Christ's Resurrection. St Peter is not included because his statue is below in the Square.

When Carlo Maderno started to build the facade, he was bound to the already existing Michelangelo's wings. He just put the attic all around the building, as planned by Michelangelo. That creation looks mighty and dynamic along the west side of the Basilica but is disharmonious in the facade. For this reason, at the far sides of the facade, Maderno planned two bell towers which lightened and soared the building. In 1621, at the death of Paul V, the ground subsided and the building of the two bell towers had to be stopped.

In 1646, Bernini tried to erect the bell towers again, but had to demolish the left-hand side bell tower because of cracks in the facade. Only the bases of the bell towers remain, two archways at the sides of the facade that seem to form part of it while they should have been separated. This was remedied in 1790 by the installation of two clocks designed by Giuseppe Valadier.

The eight gigantic columns of the facade are almost 10ft wide and 90 feet high.

The restoration of the facade and the 13 statues, begun in April 1985, was concluded on November 30, 1986. The original copper cross (1613) in the arms of the statue of the Redeemer, which was replaced by a new one during the work, was given to the Knights of Columbus in recognition of their support for the restoration.

Borgo (sometimes called also I Borghi) is the 14th rione (administrative district) of Rome, Italy. It is identified by the initials R. XIV and is included within Municipio I.

Its coat of arms shows a lion (after the name "Leonine City", which was also given to the district), lying in front of three mounts and a star. These – together with a lion rampant – are also part of the coat of arms of Pope Sixtus V, who annexed Borgo as the 14th rione of Rome.

The Borg Queen was the name of the entity that existed within and served as the queen of the Borg Collective. An ancient being, the Queen has existed for many hundreds of years. (Star Trek: First Contact; PIC: "Surrender") In the event of her body's destruction, she would appear to be reincarnated with her personality and memories intact. (Star Trek: First Contact; VOY: "Dark Frontier", "Unimatrix Zero", "Unimatrix Zero, Part II", "Endgame")

Two decades after suffering catastrophic defeat at the hands of Admiral Janeway, the Borg Queen collaborated with a rogue faction of Changelings to rebuild her collective and take revenge upon the Federation.

Dame Sarah Elisabeth Mullally (née Bowser; born 26 March 1962) is an Anglican bishop and former nurse who has served as the 106th archbishop of Canterbury since 28 January 2026. As archbishop, she is the leader of the Church of England and ceremonial head of the Anglican Communion. 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.

Born in Woking, Surrey, Mullally received clinical training in nursing from St Thomas' Hospital. She practised nursing primarily in South London, where she also began her study for ministry in the Church of England. In 1999 she became chief nursing officer and director of patient experience for the English National Health Service. She left these roles in 2004 to pursue full-time ministry. For her service in nursing, Mullally was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2005.

Mullally was ordained a priest in 2002 and began her ministry in the diocese of Southwark. She served in various London churches, and in 2012 became a canon of Salisbury Cathedral. In 2015, she was consecrated as bishop of Crediton, a suffragan bishop in the diocese of Exeter, and in 2018 translated to the diocese of London, becoming the first female bishop of London.

Early life and education

Sarah Elisabeth Bowser was born in Woking, Surrey, on 26 March 1962,[1] and has two sisters and one brother.[2] She was educated at Winston Churchill Comprehensive School and then at Woking Sixth Form College.[3]

While studying for A-levels she decided to become a nurse rather than a doctor because she wanted to apply a holistic approach to patient care.[4] Her choice of career was also motivated by her Christian faith, which she has held since the age of 16.[4] In 1980, she began reading for a nursing degree at South Bank Polytechnic,[5] with clinical placements at St Thomas' Hospital, and was awarded joint Registered General Nurse (RGN) status and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in 1984.[1] In 1992, she completed a Master of Science (MSc) degree in inter-professional health and welfare studies at London South Bank University.[1]

Nursing career

Mullally held clinical nursing posts at St Thomas' Hospital and the Royal Marsden Hospital.[6] She held several nursing leadership roles, firstly at the former Westminster Hospital (where she was a ward sister and head of practice development) and then as director of nursing at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.[2] In 1999, she was appointed as chief nursing officer and director of patient experience for England: she was the youngest person to hold these positions.[7] She was a non-executive director of the English Board of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting.[8][9]

In the 2005 New Year Honours, Mullally was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in recognition for her contribution to nursing and midwifery.[10] Mullally served as an independent governor for London South Bank University between 2005 and 2015, where she became vice-chairperson of the board of governors and chairwoman of the policy and resources committee.[11] She was a non-executive director of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust from 2005 to 2012,[4][12] and held a non-executive role at Salisbury NHS Foundation between 2012 and 2016.[13] Mullally became a lay member of the council of King's College London in 2016.[14]

Elon Reeve Musk (/ˈiːlɒn/ EE-lon; born June 28, 1971) is a businessman and entrepreneur known for his leadership of Tesla, SpaceX, X, and xAI. Musk has been the wealthiest person in the world since 2025; as of February 2026, Forbes estimates his net worth to be around US$852 billion.

Born into a wealthy family in Pretoria, South Africa, Musk emigrated in 1989 to Canada; he has Canadian citizenship since his mother was born there. He received bachelor's degrees in 1997 from the University of Pennsylvania before moving to California to pursue business ventures. In 1995, Musk co-founded the software company Zip2. Following its sale in 1999, he co-founded X.com, an online payment company that later merged to form PayPal, which was acquired by eBay in 2002. Musk also became an American citizen in 2002.

In 2002, Musk founded the space technology company SpaceX, becoming its CEO and chief engineer; the company has since led innovations in reusable rockets and commercial spaceflight. Musk joined the automaker Tesla as an early investor in 2004 and became its CEO and product architect in 2008; it has since become a leader in electric vehicles. In 2015, he co-founded OpenAI to advance artificial intelligence (AI) research, but later left; growing discontent with the organization's direction and leadership in the AI boom in the 2020s led him to establish xAI, which became a subsidiary of SpaceX in 2026. In 2022, he acquired the social network Twitter, implementing significant changes, and rebranding it as X in 2023. His other businesses include the neurotechnology company Neuralink, which he co-founded in 2016, and the tunneling company the Boring Company, which he founded in 2017. In November 2025, a Tesla pay package worth $1 trillion for Musk was approved, which he is to receive over 10 years if he meets specific goals.

Musk was the largest donor in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, where he supported Donald Trump. After Trump was inaugurated as president in early 2025, Musk served as Senior Advisor to the President and as the de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). After a public feud with Trump, Musk left the Trump administration and returned to managing his companies. Musk is a supporter of global far-right figures, causes, and political parties. His political activities, views, and statements have made him a polarizing figure. Musk has been criticized for COVID-19 misinformation, promoting conspiracy theories, and affirming antisemitic, racist, and transphobic comments. His acquisition of Twitter was controversial due to a subsequent increase in hate speech and the spread of misinformation on the service, following his pledge to decrease censorship. His role in the second Trump administration attracted public backlash, particularly in response to DOGE. The emails he sent to Jeffrey Epstein are included in the Epstein files, which were published between 2025–26 and became a topic of worldwide debate.

Pope, Rye Declare Driver’s Guilt in Murder of Naomi Irion

When Troy Driver committed suicide in the Lyon County jail on Aug. 6, he deprived the family of Naomi Irion of the opportunity to hear a jury pronounce him guilty of kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and murdering her.

Troy Driver, Who Allegedly Kidnapped and Murdered Naomi Irion Last Month, was Denied Bail Today in a Nevada Courtroom

Troy Driver, 41, was rearraigned today in a Nevada courtroom, charged with murdering Naomi Irion, 18. Driver was arraigned late last month, accused of kidnapping Naomi from the Walmart parking lot in Fernley on 12 March around 5:30 am. Her body was found 17 days later, 150 miles away in Churchill County, home to Driver for many years. He met with his defence attorney for one hour yesterday, Richard Davies. Lead attorney Davies, who reportedly specialises in criminal defence, did not object when Driver was denied bail. He says his client is innocent, revealing that the defence will conduct its own investigation into the matter. Driver was originally represented by public defender Mario Walther; both he and Davies will work on Driver's defence.

Driver stands accused of murder with the use of a deadly weapon, and felony charges of kidnapping, robbery, burglary and destruction of evidence. An amended complaint filed Tuesday alleges that Driver kidnapped Naomi specifically "for the purpose of committing sexual assault, extortion, or robbery upon or from the person of killing the person or inflicting substantial bodily harm."

Driver is presumed innocent until proven guilty under the law. He has a violent criminal past, committing several felonies as a teenager in his home state of California, all involving firearms. A burglar in his mid-teens, Driver stole firearms. He held up a convenience store and petrol stations at gunpoint. (As it so happens, Naomi was shot in the head and chest.) And Driver, aged 17, was an accessory both before and after the fact in the murder of methamphetamine dealer Paul Rodriguez in 1997. Pleading guilty to accessory after the fact and the other charges (burglary and armed robbery), he served 15 years in state prison before moving to Nevada in 2012, working steadily for construction companies in a supervisory capacity, most recently for Ledcor. (This is a developing story and I will update.)

https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/tzcaa1/troy_driver_who_allegedly_kidnapped_and_murdered/

On August 6, 2023, Driver was found dead in his cell when prison personnel arrived for a routine inmate check.[13] His death was ruled a suicide by asphyxiation.[13][14] While he was never convicted, officials said the evidence against him was overwhelming. Forensic evidence, including his DNA, were found on Irion's body. Driver also left a note in which he apologized for the "darkness within" himself.[15]

AI Overview

The name "Brock" has dual origins: it's an English/Germanic name meaning "badger" (from Old English broc), often a nickname for someone tenacious, or a variant of "Brook," meaning a small stream, given to those living near water.

Generative AI is experimental.

Trustee Brookings Institution from 1922 on, until at least 1929.

Founding or very early director of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) from at least 1922, together with the Morgan and Rockefeller interests.

The Warburg-Schiff connection to the Bolsheviks also extended from Germany to the United States. When Lenin's Bolshevik ally Leon Trotsky arrived in New York City in January 1917, a certain Arthur Concors, the superintendent and director of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), waited for him on the pier. As Trotsky spoke no English, Concors did the talking for him, promoting him to the New York Times and New York Herald Tribune as a persecuted "peace advocate", who, during these World War I years had been booted out of Czarist Russia, France and Spain for being "a follower of Karl Marx" and for making the case that Russia should withdraw from World War I, which was fighting on the side of Great Britain, France and Italy. Earlier, at the start of the war, Trotsky also had been booted out of the Kaiser's Germany for being a Marxist journalist.

After introducing Trotsky to the media at the pier, Arthur Concors took Trotsky to the "Astor Hotel [on] 42nd Street". 73 residing in New York City, Trotsky preferred to portray himself as a "fighter for the Revolutionary International", this to New York City's newspaper Novy Mir, edited by his close friend, Nikolai Bukharin. To the New Yorker Volkszeitung Trotsky soon afterwards said:

"Honestly, this [expulsion from Europe of mine] isn't surprising in light of the fierce opposition we posed to the 'socialist' and the 'capitalist' war warmongers."

1911, HIAS: 1917 Trotsky mentor Arthur Concors and Jacob Schiff.

Trotsky protector Arthur Concors' position as superintendent and director of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) is interesting, because the biggest financier of HAIS in this period was none other than Jacob Schiff, whom we just discussed. Schiff's son-in-law, Felix Warburg, and his brother Paul Warburg, all worked at Kuhn, Loeb & Co., with their brother Max Warburg advising Kaiser Wilhelm II and helping to bring Lenin into Russia to overthrow the Czars. So that's quite the coincidence. In fact, Jacob Schiff wasn't just a key financier of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS). He sat on the advisory board. An advisory board for 1917 couldn't be found by this author, but one from 1911 showed the following names:

Jacob Schiff: Pilgrims Society with in-laws Paul and Felix Warburg, the Morgans and Andrew Carnegie.

Louis Marshall: Close fried of Jacob Schiff and attorney for Kuhn, Loeb & Co.

Isaac Seligman: Married to Guta Loeb, daughter of banker Solomon Loeb, a co-founder of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Also at the New York Foundation with Schiff and the Warburgs. Also a member of the Japan Society, where Schiff was a director.

Dr. Morris Loeb: Son of Solomon Loeb. A chemist, who died in 1912.

Cyrus Leo Sulzberger I: From the family that founded the New York Stock Exchange and became publishers of the New York Times. His son was a New York Times journalist internally referred to as a "known asset" by the CIA. Also on the American Jewish Committee with Schiff and Straus and Mayer.

Mayer Sulzberger: Close advisor to Jacob Schiff.

Oscar Straus: First Jewish cabinet member under President Teddy Roosevelt. Close advisor to Jacob Schiff. 74

ALSO: Paul and Felix Warburg: At least some involvement in HIAS through meetings in the 1910s and 1920s. Seemingly listed as Life Members anno 1913. 75 From 1914 Felix was the founding chair of the Joint Distribution Committee, with key seed funding coming from his father-in-law, Jacob Schiff.

Biblical Insights, Geographical Parables #6: The Brook Kidron, A Portrait of Hell

7 Votes

The Brook Kidron runs south along the eastern edge of Jerusalem all the way down to the Dead Sea

Introduction

The Brook Kidron is a relatively insignificant geographical feature that runs south between the eastern wall of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives and begins near the Garden of Gethsemane. While topographically it does not appear to be very significant, it nonetheless has great Biblical significance as this study will show. The Brook Kidron is another example of a Geographical Parable that God provides in the Bible. A Geographical Parable is a real “earthly” physical place, which serves to represent a real “spiritual” place and convey a “spiritual” meaning.

The Brook Kidron is mentioned several times in the Bible, but, in each case, it provides us with a consistent theme. The theme is that the Brook Kidron is used by God in the Bible as a “typological” of “allegorical” reference to “Hell”. Can this claim be documented and proven? Indeed it can!

Taking a Closer Look… at the Kidron Brook (Valley)

The Setting of the Brook (נַחַל (naḥal))H5158 Kidron (קִדְרוֹן (qiḏrôn))H6939

The Brook Kidron is the name of a seasonal stream and valley, technically only now a wadi, as water runs through it only after heavy rains, although in Biblical times likely was also fed by springs, notably the Gihon spring (please see the above map). The brook’s course runs down along the eastern flank of Jerusalem beginning near the Garden of Gethsemane and flowing down through a valley of Kidron, with the Mount of Olives on the east, and ultimately continuing all the way into the “Dead Sea” (otherwise known as the “Salt Sea”).

Kidron Ominously Means “Darkness“

The name “Kidron” (“Cedron” in the Greek New Testament) in the original Hebrew is קִדְרוֹן (qiḏrôn)H6939 meaning “dark“, but not just any dark, it means “turbid”or “murky” and “very black” and “full of darkness“.

Kidron is derived from the root word, קָדַר (qāḏar)H6937 , which in the original Hebrew is most often translated as “mourn” and “black” as in “sackcloth.” So we should first take a closer look at the meaning and use of the root word for “Kidron” as we find in Ezekiel 32:7&8, where God is condemning Pharaoh and Egypt to hell within the context of the entire chapter we read, “And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make (קָדַר (qāḏar))H6937 ➔ the stars thereof dark (קָדַר (qāḏar)) H6937; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark (קָדַר (qāḏar))H6937 over thee, and set darkness (חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ))H2822 upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.“ What is particularly noteworthy here is that God uses two different words for “dark” and “darkness” together, as synonyms, to convey the same meaning.

We can also see this correlation when we look at the use of these two words when we compare Joel 2:10, “The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark (קָדַר (qāḏar)) H6937, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:” with Isaiah 13:10, “For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened (חָשַׁךְ (ḥāšaḵ))H2821 in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.“ The Hebrew word חָשַׁךְ (ḥāšaḵ))H2821 meaning “to be, or become, dark” or “darkened” and is is the root word for חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ)H2822, meaning “darkness“.

We should therefore also note that the word חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ)H2822 is found in a total of 80 instances in the Bible in a consistently ominous way as this example in Job 17:13 shows, “If I wait, the grave (actually “Hell”) [is] mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness (חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ))H2822.“

It is also notable that while the “Brook Kidron” is not mentioned in the Book of Job explicitly, it is nonetheless implicitly mentioned in Job 6:15&17, where we can see another connection between the words “brook” and the same root word for “Kidron”, “My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook (נַחַל (naḥal))H5158, [and] as the stream of brooks (נַחַל (naḥal))H5158 they pass away; Which are blackish (קָדַר (qāḏar))H6937 by reason of the ice, [and] wherein the snow is hid:“

Jesus Compared Hell to “Outer Darkness”

These three verses, quoting Jesus, make a very clear connection between Kidron (“darkness”) and Hell:

Matthew 8:12, “But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Matthew 22:13, “Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“

Matthew 25:30, “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“

Finally, the last reference in the Bible where the sun and the moon and the stars are described as being darkened can be found in Revelation 8:12, where we read, “And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.“ Clearly this is a case where judgment has come into view (and given the number one third it is likely coming upon the corporate church in the Final Tribulation).

Mentions of the Brook Kidron in the Bible

The Brook Kidron is mentioned directly only 11 times in the Bible, but is also alluded to at least two more times as we will see, but in each case there is an unequivocal association with sorrow, death, and judgment. The above ontology of the Hebrew words connected with “Kidron” are at least suggestive that the Brook Kidron might be a reference to Hell in the Bible.

King David “Passed Over the Brook Kidron“

The first direct reference to the Brook Kidron is found in 2 Samuel 15:23, where we read how King David fled Jerusalem with some faithful servants and his household during Absalom’s rebellion, “And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.” This is a prefigurement of Jesus, being pursued by His enemy (the devil, like David was pursued by Absalom) having to go through Hell to atone for sin on behalf of His own faithful servants and household.

This traumatic event was also accompanied shortly thereafter by a verbal cursing and “casting stones” assault by a man named Shimei (meaning “renowned“). According to 2 Samuel 16:5-24, Shimei was a Benjamite, the son of Gera (meaning “a grain“), of the village of Bahurim (meaning “young men’s village“), and perhaps most significantly, he was also a man of the family of the house of former king Saul. Later, when King David crossed the River Jordan on his way back to regain his throne in Jerusalem after Absalom died in battle, Shimei begged for, and was granted, King David’s forgiveness.

Before we move on the reader should be aware of the significance of Shimei casting stones at King David 2 Samuel 16:6-13, “And he cast stones at David,…” This happened after King David passed over the Brook Kidron with his faithful servants and it correlates well with Jesus going forth over the Brook Kidron (Cedron in Greek) to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus went a “stone’s cast” from his disciples. Please see below under the heading of “A Stone’s Cast“.

The “Valley of the Shadow of Death“

Later, we read in 1 Kings 2:8&9, King David, when nearing his death, instructed Solomon, his son and heir, to ultimately bring Shimei into account such that Shimei would not live to a normal old age. Upon the death of King David, when Solomon ascended the throne of Israel, in 1 Kings 2:36-46, we see the Brook Kidron highlighted in a crucial role involving the ultimate fate of Shimei in fulfillment of King David’s instruction. King Solomon warned Shimei that if he wanted to remain alive, then Shimei had to remain confined within Jerusalem and to never pass over the Brook Kidron, otherwise, according to 1 Kings 2:37, King Solomon told Shimei, “For it shall be, [that] on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.“

Although Shimei promised King Solomon that he would remain in Jerusalem, we read next in 1 Kings 2:39, “¶And it came to pass at the end of three years,…“, that, in an effort to retrieve two of his servants who had run away to Gath (which is west of Jerusalem in what was then Philistine, while the Brook Kidron is east), Shimei left his Jerusalem confinement in violation of his word to Solomon (which in all likelihood involved his having crossed over the Brook Kidron). When Shimei’s movement was made known to Solomon, Shimei was put to death in 1 Kings 2:46.

The Brook Kidron Is a Place for Destroyed and Burned Idols and Altars

King Asa and the Brook Kidron

In the Book of 1 Kings, we learn how Asa, King of Judah of the line of King David, removed idols and in particular he dethroned his own mother, and destroyed her idol and burned it by the Brook Kidron. We see this in 1 Kings 15:11-13, “And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.” This information is repeated in 2 Chronicles 15:16, “And also [concerning] Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped [it], and burnt [it] at the brook Kidron.“

King Josiah and the Brook Kidron

In 2 Kings 23:1-3, we read where King Josiah gathered all the people of Judah and Jerusalem to hear the Words of God and to renew their commitment to obeying God, “¶And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD. And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all [their] heart and all [their] soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.“

Immediately thereafter we see that King Josiah orders the destruction of all idolatry related articles to be burned at the Brook Kidron and the ashes scattered over graves in the valley of the Brook Kidron.

In 2 Kings 23:4-6, “And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel. And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped [it] small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.“ So we can also deduce that, in the time of Josiah, the Valley of Kidron served as a cemetery.

King Josiah took similar action with the altars to false gods in 2 Kings 23:12, “And the altars that [were] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

King Hezekiah and the Brook Kidron

King Hezekiah also ordered the Levites to cleanse the temple of idolatrous materials and carry them to the Brook Kidron as we read in 2 Chronicles 29:16, “And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse [it], and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took [it], to carry [it] out abroad into the brook Kidron.” And then again, we read in 2 Chronicles 30:13&14, that also under King Hezekiah…”¶And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation. And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast [them] into the brook Kidron.“

The last Old Testament direct reference to the Brook Kidron is in Jeremiah 31:40, “And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, [shall be] holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.” The context seems suggest that once Judgment Day comes and there is the New Jerusalem created, then the place representing by the Brook Kidron and its contents will remain for ever and be considered holy by God. Judgment Day, with the torment in Hell that will follow forever, God likens to a “sacrifice” as indicated by Isaiah 34:6, Jeremiah 46:10, Ezekiel 39:17, Zephaniah 1:7&8 and Revelation 14:11.

Indirect References to the Brook Kidron (Both Nehemiah and Jesus went by there)

There are two other instances that the Brook Kidron is mentioned in the Bible, but those are indirect. It is mentioned one time as the “valley” and the other time as the “brook”, as is translated in English from the original Hebrew word, נַחַל (naḥal)H5158. In 2 Chronicles 33:14, we read “¶Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley H5158, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.” The geographical context (the Gihon spring is in the Kidron valley) indicates it can only be referring to the Brook Kidron. Then in Nehemiah 2:15, “Then went I up in the night by the brookH5158, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.“ Again, when we look at the setting and geographical context, it is also clear that the “brook” can only be referring to the Brook Kidron.

Nehemiah and the Brook Kidron

The second time where the Brook Kidron is mentioned indirectly, as described above, is of particular interest, because it has to do with Nehemiah and his three days and three nights sojourn outside the walls of Jerusalem that we read about in Nehemiah chapter 2. The significance and spiritual implications are profound, because Nehemiah’s activities, as are described in Chapter 2, clearly point to the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ (and which are more fully explained in this other post on Nehemiah, Chapter 2).

Jesus and the Brook Kidron (on His way to the Garden of Gethsemane)

Jesus must have crossed the Valley of Kidron many times in His travels, but only one time is such a crossing specifically mentioned in the Bible. We should all be aware that the Garden of Gethsemane is just east of Jerusalem at the base of the Mount of Olives by the uppermost part of the valley of the Brook Kidron (see map above), and this is where Jesus’ Atonement began on Passover evening/night as we read in John 18:1, ”When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron (“Cedron” is Kidron in Greek), where was a garden (Gethsemane), into the which he entered, and his disciples.”

The account of Jesus suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane can be also be found in three other places in the Bible, in Matthew 26:36–46, Mark 14:32–42, Luke 22:39–46. From those three descriptions, we learn that Jesus was in the Garden with the disciples, then Jesus told them to remain, while He went further with Peter, James, and John, and then, alone, a bit farther.

In the Garden of Gethsemane, after Jesus had separated Himself from His disciples “about a stone’s cast” as we read in Luke 22:41 “¶And he (Jesus) was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,“) and Jesus prayed three times (Matthew 26:44 and e.g., Luke 22:42, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”) The “cup” was the cup of God’s wrath that Jesus had to take in penalty for the sins of God’s elect. Remember also shortly afterward where Jesus reprimanded Peter for trying to protect Him in John 18:11, “Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?” Moreover we know that the Garden was where the agony of the Atonement had begun because we read in Luke 22:44, “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”

A Stone’s Cast?

The significance of Luke 22:41 should not be missed by the reader. “And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,” The language of “a stone’s cast” is extremely important because the casting of stones has great significance in the Bible. It is used to condemn someone to death in the Bible.

The reality is that Jesus was condemned to death on the behalf of all those who would believe on Him as their Lord God and Savior. Any sin is sufficient to justify death by stoning, not just blasphemy against God, or murder. Remember that in Numbers 15:32-36, we read of a man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath was subsequently taken outside of the camp and stoned to death by God’s command to Moses.

More significantly, there is another case that we should all be aware of regarding “stoning”. In Deuteronomy 21:18 we read, “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [that], when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.¶ And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God), that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.”

We should all remember that Jesus was accused, falsely, of being a glutton and a drunkard in Luke 7:34, “The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!” And following Jesus’s Passion in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus was spiritually deemed to have been worthy of stoning on behalf of the elect, Jesus hung on the cross on that same Passover day, and that cross, being hewn of wood, served as a “tree” as we read in Galatians 3:13 , “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:” And Jesus’s body was buried before sun down that day in the Tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea as recorded in Matthew 27:57-60.

The mention of “a stone’s cast” was placed there by God to show that Jesus had at that point come under judgment for the sins of God’s elect. 2 Corinthians 5:21 makes clear that, “For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.“ and also 1 John 3:5, “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.“

Jesus was subsequently tormented in every way until His death on the cross, that occurred just outside the walls of Jerusalem on Friday afternoon (the ninth hour, or 3:00 p.m.). Then Jesus’s body was buried in the tomb and remained there, Friday night (the second night) through Saturday (the sabbath day and the second day), through Saturday night until the resurrection early Sunday morning, which marked the third day.

For more on the significance of the three days and three nights associated with Jesus’ Atoning Sacrifice please see the detailed post on the Book of Jonah

Conclusion

Again, for review, Kidron (קִדְרוֹן (qiḏrôn)) H6939 means “Very Black, Full of Darkness”. Jesus describes Hell three times as “‘outer darkness'”: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:12, Mat 22:13, Matthew 25:30). And remember that king David, when was fleeing from Absalom and leaving Jerusalem, also crossed over the brook Kidron. Moreover, we also read of the people “weeping” in 2 Samuel 15:23, “And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.“

So then, Spiritually, the Brook Kidron has to be considered representative of the eternal fires of Hell, as the Brook Kidron is where all the refuse was dumped and continually burned from the ancient city of Jerusalem, and which notably empties into the “Dead” Sea. It is mentioned explicitly in eleven verses in the Bible (ten in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament), and in each and every time, in some form or another, the Brook Kidron serves as a picture of Hell. This is because the brook Kidron was where all the false idols were broken, stamped to powder, and then burned (e.g. 1Kings 15:13, 2 Kings 23:6, 2 Kings 23:12 and 2 Chronicles 15:16), and also to where the priests, the Levites, carried out all of the uncleannesses out of the Temple (2 Chronicles 29:16). The Kidron valley is also associated with “dead bodies” and “ashes”, as we read in Jeremiah 31:40 where God declared, “And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, [shall be] holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.”

It is also interesting how the Brook Kidron relates to Judgment Day, because 1) Jesus went there first for His people, but 2) second Jesus will come there again as the Judge of all the rest: Psalm 110:5-7, “The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the places] with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.“

The bottom line is that the Kidron valley, the valley of the Brook Kidron, is an abominable place where the dust and ashes of false idols belong and an indisputable allegorical picture of the darkness and awfulness of Hell. We can see that the two “Types” of the Lord Jesus Christ: King David and Nehemiah, each had to each pass over the Brook Kidron in difficult circumstances, and each in there own way pointed to Jesus’ Atoning Sacrifice that became reality on Passover evening in 33AD when Jesus went over the Brook Kidron to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus’s suffering began. Jonah, another great “Type” of the Lord Jesus Christ, was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale foretelling the agony of Jesus who spent the equivalent of an eternity in Hell in the space of the same time span of three days and three nights(Thursday evening to Sunday morning), outside the gates of Jerusalem, and beginning in the Garden of Gethsemane. But the Good News is that we know that Jesus also arose from the dead, and that His resurrection proved that the full payment for the sins of His elect had been paid, and therefore Jesus (just as He was prefigured by both king David and Nehemiah) “returned“! Hallelujah!

Today’s Application: Are You Ready?

The Bible makes it clear that if God was willing to put His own Son through Hell to save a people for Himself, how much more would He be willing to send the wicked who reject Him to Hell for their sins (please see Romans 8:32). Jesus is the only Way of escape from the just penalty for our sins. All other ways that man can devise will lead only to Hell. Have you made peace with God through Jesus Christ? Please pray to God for mercy through Jesus Christ and He will show you mercy.

Charlemagne used Christianity to solidify his control over his realms and gave the church a strong cultural influence. This was prominently done through the proliferation of Benedictine monasteries, through which Charlemagne exerted his religious, cultural, and education policies.

The Story of Abraham

The First Patriarch

By Menachem Posner

As recorded in the Bible, Abraham (or Avraham, אברהם) the Hebrew was guided by G‑d to the Holy Land (then known as Canaan), which G‑d gave him as the everlasting inheritance of his children, the Jewish nation. Together with his wife, Sarah, he taught people about the existence of a G‑d who is one and cannot be seen. His legacy was carried on by his son, Isaac, whom he almost sacrificed at G‑d’s command. The first of the patriarchs, he is referred to by Jewish people as Avraham Avinu, “Abraham our Father.”

And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord. This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.

A fire temple (Persian: آتشکده, romanized: ātashkade; Gujarati: અગિયારી, romanized: agiyārī)[a] is a place of worship for Zoroastrians.[1][2][3] In Zoroastrian doctrine, atar and aban (fire and water) are agents of ritual purity.

Clean, white "ash for the purification ceremonies [is] regarded as the basis of ritual life", which "are essentially the rites proper to the tending of a domestic fire, for the temple [fire] is that of the hearth fire raised to a new solemnity".[4] For, one "who sacrifices unto fire with fuel in his hand ..., is given happiness".[5]

As of 2021, there were 167 fire temples in the world, of which 45 were in Mumbai, 105 in the rest of India, and 17 in other countries.[6][7] Of these, only nine (one in Iran and eight in India) are the main temples known as Atash Behrams; the remainder are the smaller temples known as agiaries.

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

Zoroastrianism,[a] also called Mazdayasna[b] and Behdin,[c] is an Iranian religion centred on the Avesta and the teachings of Zarathushtra Spitama, who is more commonly referred to by the Greek translation, Zoroaster (Ancient Greek: Ζωροάστρις, romanized: Zōroastris). Among the world's oldest organized faiths, its adherents exalt an uncreated, benevolent, and all-wise deity known as Ahura Mazda (Avestan: 𐬀𐬵𐬎𐬭𐬀⸱ 𐬨𐬀𐬰𐬛𐬁), who is hailed as the supreme being of the universe. Opposed to Ahura Mazda is Angra Mainyu (𐬀𐬢𐬭𐬀⸱ 𐬨𐬀𐬌𐬥𐬌𐬌𐬎), who is personified as a destructive spirit and the adversary of all things that are good.

The name Ormus also represents Sion's religion. Ormus was the name of an Egyptian sage and mystic who was supposedly converted to Christianity in 46 A.D. In reality he was a gnostic adept of Alexandria, blending Christianity with Masdaism, which was the Greek-Roman form of Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism was a modification of Brahamanism (now Hinduism) at a time when Buddhism was a reformation of the same. As was common practice in the eastern mystery religions, the Priory of Sion often used mind-expanding drugs in their ceremonies.

The Priory of Sion set out to emulate the Knights Templar by using the religion of the Egyptian, Ormus. Ormus and his initiates had taken the red cross as their identifying symbol four centuries before Merovee (founder of the Merovingian Holy Grail dynasty) was born with the red cross birthmark above his heart. The Knights Templar adopted Merovee's red cross six centuries later. To emulate the Templars, the Priory of Sion took the red cross of Ormus as its own emblem, then adopted the title l'Ordre de Ia Rose-Croix Veritas, which means "The Order of the mie Red Cross." This additional name was added at the behest of Sion's Grand Master, Jean de Gisors.46

One God, One Faith, One Spiritual Authority

Pope Boniface VIII - 1302

Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302

URged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins, as the Spouse in the Canticles [Sgs 6:8] proclaims: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one. She is the only one, the chosen of her who bore her,‘ and she represents one sole mystical body whose Head is Christ and the head of Christ is God [1 Cor 11:3]. In her then is one Lord, one faith, one baptism [Eph 4:5]. There had been at the time of the deluge only one ark of Noah, prefiguring the one Church, which ark, having been finished to a single cubit, had only one pilot and guide, i.e., Noah, and we read that, outside of this ark, all that subsisted on the earth was destroyed.

Ur[a] (/ʊr/ or /ɜːr/[3]) was a major Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia, located at the site of modern Tell el-Muqayyar[b] (Arabic: تَلّ ٱلْمُقَيَّر, lit. 'mound of bitumen') in Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq. Although Ur was a coastal city near the mouth of the Euphrates on the Persian Gulf, the coastline has shifted and the site is now well inland, on the south bank of the Euphrates, 16 km (10 mi) southwest of the city of Nasiriyah.[4] The city dates from the Ubaid period c. 3800 BC, and is recorded in written history as a city-state from the 26th century BC, its first recorded king being Mesannepada.

Zoroaster's training for priesthood probably started very early around seven years of age.[68] He became a priest probably around the age of 15, and according to Gathas, gaining knowledge from other teachers and personal experience from traveling when he left his parents at age 20.[69] By the age of 30, Zoroaster experienced a revelation during a spring festival; on the river bank he saw a shining being, who revealed himself as Vohu Manah (Good Purpose) and taught him about Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord) and five other radiant figures. Zoroaster soon became aware of the existence of two primal spirits, the second being Angra Mainyu (Destructive Spirit), with opposing concepts of Asha (order) and Druj (deception).

AHASUERUS or ASSUERUS ə hăzh’ ŏŏ ĕr’ əs, ăzh’ ŏŏ ĕr’ əs (אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹ֔ושׁ, mighty + eye or man, LXX ̓Ασσούηρος [Assuerus also in the apocryphal book of Tobit]). 1. Xerxes I (Pers. Khshayarsha, the basis for the Heb. form), the son and successor of Darius I (Hystaspes) the Great as king of Persia c. 486-465 b.c. This is the Ahasuerus of Ezra 4:6 and the Book of Esther. The equation of Ahasuerus (Ezra 4:6) with Xerxes presupposes that vv. 6-23 of that ch. are somewhat parenthetical, providing further information on the topic of opposition from a later period. The famous remains at Persepolis were primarily his work. Found there was a historical inscr. by Xerxes, listing the various nations subject to him, thus confirming the statement in Esther 1:1 that he ruled “from India to Ethiopia.”

My mother was a high priestess, my father I knew not. The brothers of my father loved the hills. My city is Azupiranu, which is situated on the banks of the Euphrates. My high priestess mother conceived me, in secret she bore me. She set me in a basket of rushes, with bitumen she sealed my lid. She cast me into the river which rose over me. The river bore me up and carried me to Akki, the drawer of water. Akki, the drawer of water, took me as his son and reared me. Akki, the drawer of water, appointed me as his gardener. While I was a gardener, Ishtar granted me her love, and for four and ... years I exercised kingship.

Similarities between the Sargon Birth Legend and other infant birth exposures in ancient literature, including Moses, Karna, and Oedipus, were noted by psychoanalyst Otto Rank in his 1909 book The Myth of the Birth of the Hero.[73] The legend was also studied in detail by Brian Lewis, and compared with many different examples of the infant birth exposure motif found in Eurasian folktales. He discusses a possible archetype form, giving particular attention to the Sargon legend and the account of the birth of Moses.[7] Joseph Campbell has also made such comparisons.[74]

Sargon is also one of the many suggestions for the identity or inspiration for the biblical Nimrod.

The oldest written evidence of rose cultivation comes from a tablet discussing the Akkadian king Sargon I’s military campaign to the west. Sargon brought rosebush saplings with him on the campaign so rose cultivation could begin in these newly acquired territories soon after his conquest. It was an act of supreme confidence and evidence of roses’ importance to Akkadian culture.

15 I will also put enmity between [q]thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall break thine [r]head, and thou shalt [s]bruise his heel.

16 ¶ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy [t]sorrows, and thy conceptions. In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thy desire shall be subject to thine husband, and he shall rule over thee.

Genesis 3:15-16

The Tablet of Shamash (also known as the Sun God Tablet or the Nabuapaliddina Tablet) is a stele recovered from the ancient Babylonian city of Sippar in southern Iraq in 1881; it is now a major piece in the British Museum's ancient Middle East collection and is a visual attestation of Babylonian cosmology. It is dated to the reign of King Nabu-apla-iddina ca. 888 – 855 BC.[1]

Description

It was encased in a clay cast or "squeeze" that created impressions when placed over the face of the stone and protected it. This indicates that the tablet was an item of reverence, possibly stored due to newer traditions. The tablet has serrated edges like a saw.[5] The bas-relief on the top of the obverse (pictured) shows Shamash, the Sun God, beneath symbols of the sun, moon and star. Shamash is depicted in a seated position, wearing a horned headdress, holding the rod-and-ring symbol in his right hand. There is another large sun disk in front of him on an altar, suspended from above by two figures. Of the three figures on the left, the central one is dressed in the same fashion as Shamash and is assumed to be the Babylonian king Nabu-apla-iddina receiving the symbols of deity.[citation needed]

Daniel 2

1599 Geneva Bible

2 1 The dreams of Nebuchadnezzar. 13 The king commandeth all the wise men of Babylon to be slain, because they could not interpret his dream. 16 Daniel requireth time to solute the question. 24 Daniel is brought unto the king, and showeth him his dream, and the interpretation thereof. 44 Of the everlasting kingdom of Christ.

1 And in the [a]second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed [b]dreams wherewith his spirit was [c]troubled, and his [d]sleep was upon him.

2 Then the king commanded to call the enchanters, and the astrologians, and the sorcerers, and the [e]Chaldeans for to show the king his dreams: so they came and stood before the King.

3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in the [f]Aramite’s language, O king, live forever: show thy servants thy dream, and we shall show the interpretation.

5 And the King answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make me understand the dream with the interpretation thereof, ye [g]shall be drawn in pieces, and your houses shall be made a jakes.

6 But if ye declare the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards, and great honor: therefore show me the dream and the interpretation of it.

7 They answered again, and said, Let the king show [h]his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation thereof.

8 Then the king answered, and said, I know certainly that ye [i]would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

9 But if ye will not declare me the dream, there is but one judgment for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words, to speak before me till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, that I may know, if ye can declare me the interpretation thereof.

10 Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is no man upon earth that can declare the king’s matter: yea, there is neither King nor Prince nor lord that asked such things at an enchanter, or astrologian, or Chaldean.

11 For it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can declare it before the king, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.

12 For this cause the king was angry and in great fury, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babel.

13 ¶ And when sentence was given, the wise men were slain: and they [j]sought Daniel and his fellows to be put to death.

14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the king’s [k]chief steward, which was gone forth to put to death the wise men of Babel.

15 Yea, he answered and said unto Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the sentence so hasty from the king? Then Arioch declared the thing to Daniel.

16 So Daniel went and desired the king that he would give him leisure, and that he would show the king the interpretation thereof.

17 ¶ Then Daniel went to his house, and showed the matter to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions,

18 That they should beseech the God of heaven for grace in this secret, that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babel.

19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision by night: therefore Daniel praised the God of heaven.

20 And Daniel answered and said, The Name of God be praised forever and ever: for wisdom and strength are his.

21 And he changeth the times and seasons: he taketh away kings: he setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and understanding to those that understand.

22 He discovereth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in darkness, and the [l]light dwelleth with him.

23 I thank thee and praise thee, O thou God of my [m]fathers, that thou hast given me wisdom and [n]strength, and hast showed me now the thing that we desired of thee: for thou hast declared unto us the king’s matter.

24 ¶ Therefore Daniel went unto Arioch, whom the King had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babel: he went and said thus unto him, Destroy not [o]the wise men of Babel, but bring me before the king, and I will declare unto the king the interpretation.

25 Then Arioch brought Daniel before the king in all haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the children of Judah that were brought captives, that will declare unto the king the interpretation.

26 Then answered the king, and said unto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to show me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded, can neither the wise, the astrologians, the enchanters, nor the soothsayers declare unto the king.

28 But there is a God in [p]heaven that revealeth secrets, and showeth the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the things which thou hast seen in thine head upon thy bed, is this:

29 O king, when thou wast in thy bed, thoughts came into thy mind, what should come to pass hereafter, and he that revealeth secrets, telleth thee what shall come.

30 As [q]for me, this secret is not showed me for any wisdom that I have more than any other living, but only to show the king the interpretation, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thine heart.

31 O king, thou sawest, and behold, there was a great image: this great image whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and the form therefore was terrible.

32 This image’s head was of fine [r]gold, his breast, and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

33 His legs of iron, and his feet were part of iron, and part of clay.

34 Thou beheldest it till a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image upon his feet, that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver and the gold broken all together, and became like the chaff of the summer flowers, and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image, became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36 This is the dream, and we will declare before the king the interpretation thereof.

37 ¶ O king, thou art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

38 And in all places where the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all: thou art [s]this head of gold.

39 And after thee shall rise another kingdom, [t]inferior to thee, of silver, and another [u]third kingdom shall be of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: for as iron breaketh in pieces, and subdueth all things, and as iron bruiseth all these things, so shall it break in [v]pieces, and bruise all.

41 Whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter’s clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be [w]divided, but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, as thou sawest the iron mixed with the clay, and earth.

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so shall the kingdom be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with clay and earth, they shall mingle themselves with [x]the seed of men: but they shall not join one with another, as iron cannot be mixed with clay.

44 And in the days of these kings, shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which [y]shall never be destroyed: and this kingdom shall not be given to another people, but it shall break, and destroy all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

45 Whereas thou sawest, that the [z]stone was cut of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold: so the great God hath showed the king, what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is sure.

46 ¶ Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and [aa]bowed himself unto Daniel, and commanded that they should offer meat offerings, and sweet odors unto him.

47 Also the King answered unto Daniel, and said, I know of a truth that your [ab]God is a God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and the revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest open this secret.

48 So the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many and great [ac]gifts. He made him governor over the whole province of Babel, and chief of the rulers, and above all the wise men of Babel.

49 Then Daniel [ad]made request to the King, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the charge of the province of Babel: but Daniel sat in the [ae]gate of the king.

Footnotes

Daniel 2:1 The father and the son were both called by this name, so that this is meant of the son, when he reigned alone: for he reigned also after a sort with his father.

Daniel 2:1 Not that he had many dreams, but because many matters were contained in this dream.

Daniel 2:1 Because it was so rare and strange a dream: that he had not had the like.

Daniel 2:1 He was so heavy with sleep, that he began to sleep again. Some read, and his sleep was broken from him.

Daniel 2:2 For all these Astrologers and sorcerers called themselves by this name of honor, as though all the wisdom and knowledge of the country depended upon them, and that all other countries were void of the same.

Daniel 2:4 That is, in the Syrian tongue which differed not much from the Chaldeans, save it seemed to be more eloquent, and therefore the learned used to speak it, as the Jewish writers do to this day.

Daniel 2:5 This is a just reward of their arrogance (which vaunted of themselves that they had the knowledge of all things) that they should be proved fools, and that to their perpetual shame and confusion.

Daniel 2:7 Herein appeared their ignorance, that notwithstanding their brags, yet were they not able to tell the dream, except he entered them into the matter, and therefore they would pretend knowledge where was but mere ignorance, and so as deluders of the people, they were worthy to die.

Daniel 2:8 Hebrew, redeem the time.

Daniel 2:13 Which declareth that God would not have his servant joined in the company of these sorcerers and Astrologers, whose arts were wicked, and therefore justly ought to die, though the king did it upon a rage and no zeal.

Daniel 2:14 Or, the captain of the guards.

Daniel 2:22 He showeth that man hath neither wisdom nor knowledge, but very dark blindness and ignorance of himself: for it cometh only of God, that man understandeth anything.

Daniel 2:23 To whom thou madest thy promise, and who lived in thy fear: whereby he excludeth all other gods.

Daniel 2:23 Meaning, power to interpret it.

Daniel 2:24 Whereby appeareth that many were slain, as verse 13, and the rest at Daniel’s offer were preserved on condition: not that Daniel favored their wicked profession, but that he had respect to equity, because the King proceeded according to his wicked affection, and not considering if their science were lawful or no.

Daniel 2:28 He affirmeth that man by reason and art is not able to attain to the cause of God’s secrets, but the understanding only thereof must come of God: whereby he smiteth the king with a certain fear and reverence of God, that he might be the more apt to receive the high mysteries, that should be revealed.

Daniel 2:30 Because he had said that God only must reveal the signification of this dream, the King might have asked, why Daniel did enterprise to interpret it, and therefore he showeth that he was but God’s minister and had no gifts, but such as God had given him to set forth his glory.

Daniel 2:32 By gold, silver, brass and iron, are meant the Chaldean, Persian, Macedonian and Roman kingdoms, which should successively rule all the world till Christ (which is here called the stone) come himself, and destroy the last: and this was to assure the Jews, that their affliction should not end with the empire of the Chaldeans, but that they should patiently abide the coming of Messiah, which should be at the end of this fourth monarchy.

Daniel 2:38 Daniel leaveth out the kingdom of the Assyrians, which was before the Babylonian, both because it was not a Monarchy and general empire, and also because he would declare the things that were to come, to the coming of Christ, for the comfort of the elect among these wonderful alterations, and he calleth the Babylonian kingdom the golden head, because in respect of the other three, it was the best, and yet it was of itself wicked and cruel.

Daniel 2:39 Meaning, the Persians which were not inferior in dignity, power, and riches, but were worse touching ambition, cruelty, and all kind of vice, showing that the world should grow worse and worse, till it was restored by Christ.

Daniel 2:39 That is, of the Macedonians shall be of brass, not alluding to the hardness thereof, but to the vileness in respect of silver.

Daniel 2:40 That is, the Roman empire shall subdue all these other aforenamed, which after Alexander were divided into the Macedonians, Grecians, Syrians and Egyptians.

Daniel 2:41 They shall have civil wars, and continual discords among themselves.

Daniel 2:43 They shall by marriages and affinities think to make themselves strong: yet shall they never be joined in hearts.

Daniel 2:44 His purpose is to show, that all the kingdoms of the world are transitory, and that the kingdom of Christ shall only remain forever.

Daniel 2:45 Meaning Christ, who was sent of God, and not set up by man, whose kingdom at the beginning should be small and without beauty to man’s judgment, but should at length grow and fill the whole earth, which he calleth a great mountain, as verse 35. And this kingdom which is not only referred to the person of Christ, but also to the whole body of his Church, and to every member thereof, shall be eternal: for the Spirit that is in them is life eternal, Rom. 8:10.

Daniel 2:46 Though this humbling of the king seemed to deserve commendation, yet because he joined God’s honor with the Prophet’s, it is to be reproved, and Daniel herein erred, if he suffered it: but it is credible that Daniel admonished him of his fault, and did not suffer it.

Daniel 2:47 This confession was but a sudden motion, as it was also in Pharaoh, Exod. 9:28, but his heart was not touched, as appeared soon afterward.

Daniel 2:48 Not that the Prophet was desirous of gifts or honor, but because by this means he might relieve his poor brethren, which were grievously oppressed in this their captivity, and also he received them, lest he should offend this cruel king, which willingly gave them.

Daniel 2:49 He did not this for their private profit: but that the whole Church, which was then there in affliction, might have some release and ease by this benefit.

Daniel 2:49 Meaning, that either he was a judge, or that he had the whole authority, so than none could be admitted to the king’s presence, but by him.

MULLerian 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].

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

Russian gas giant alleges recent intensification in attacks despite disruption to global gas supplies caused by Iran war

Russian gas giant Gazprom has accused Ukraine of this week attempting to disable two pipelines that send about 130 million cubic metres per day of Russian gas to Turkey and countries in Eastern Europe.

https://www.upstreamonline.com/energy-security/gazprom-claims-ukraine-seeking-to-disrupt-gas-supply-to-turkey-and-europe/2-1-1962686

On 19 October 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to allow major concessions for Gazprom to develop the Leviathan reserves.[26]

In late February 2023, partners involved in Leviathan announced spending of $51 million to prepare a new floating LNG floating terminal, and an additional $45 million in expanding production. The floating LNG terminal, expected to come online in the mid-to-late 2020s, is expected to expand capacity to 6.5 bcm. According to CEO of Ratio Energies, Yigal LANDAU, "The development plan will enable a significant increase in Leviathan's production to 21 bcm (billion cubic meters) a year."[30][31]

The Church of Mary Magdalene (Russian: Церковь Святой Марии Магдалины; Arabic: كنيسة القديسة مريم المجدلية; Hebrew: כנסיית מריה מגדלנה) is an Eastern Orthodox Christian church located on the Mount of Olives, directly across the Kidron Valley and near the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem.

The church, dedicated to Mary Magdalene, is part of the Convent of St. Mary Magdalene, a sisterhood established in 1936 by an English convert, and since the 1920s has been under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), an independent ecclesiastical entity until 2007 and part of the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church since then.[1]

History

Construction

The church was built in 1888 by Tsar Alexander III and his brothers to honour their mother, Empress Maria Alexandrovna of Russia.[1] It was constructed to David Grimm's design in the traditional tented roof style popular in 16th- and 17th-century Russia, and includes seven distinctive, gilded onion domes.

Dedication

An icon of Saint Mary Magdalene in the church, the church's patron saint

The church is dedicated to Mary Magdalene, the disciple of Jesus, the Apostle of the Apostles. According to the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel of Mark, Mary Magdalene was the first to see Christ after his resurrection (Mark 16:9). She is usually considered a crucial and important disciple of Jesus, along with Mary of Bethany, whom some believe to have been the same woman.[2]

Burials

Saints Elisabeth and Varvara

The relics of two martyred saints, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna of Russia and her fellow nun Varvara Yakovleva,[3] are displayed in the church.

In 1982, the New-York-based Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, which was at the time administratively independent of the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church, canonised the new martyrs of the communist revolution and in May the bodies of Elizabeth and Barbara (Varvara) were moved from the crypt, where only private veneration was possible, to the upper church of St. Mary Magdalene. Since 1981, Elizabeth and Barbara are venerated as "new martyrs" by the Orthodox Church in Exile at St. Mary Magdalene, Gethsemane. A statue of Elizabeth is among those of the 20th-century martyrs above the West Door of Westminster Abbey installed in 1998. In the changed political situation of the 1990s, the Moscow Patriarchate considered recognition of the martyrs of this period including the members of the royal family and her status as a saint was also recognized in April 1992 by the Moscow Patriarchate.[4]

Princess Alice of Battenberg

In the 1930s, Princess Alice of Battenberg, mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, visited the church and asked to be buried near her aunt "Ella", the Grand-Duchess Elizabeth.[1] In 1969, she died at Buckingham Palace.[1] In 1988, her remains were transferred to a crypt below the church.[1]

Helena of Adiabene As The Magdalene - The Tower Motif In Mythology?

Post by yakovzutolmai » Thu Sep 02, 2021 3:59 pm

I have a hypothesis of Christian origins that traces from the end of the Seleucid kingdom up until the beginning of the High Priesthood of Simon Boethus. I can trace from Theudas through James to the Jewish Christians and Gnostics of Syria. Via a national cult centered in the royal household of Adiabene.

There are two things I cannot do:

1) Demonstrate that the pre-existent Arab triad of Father-Christ, Mother and Son is connected to Adiabene.

2) Connect the Boethusians to the James community (Bathyrans), except speculatively.

We can reasonably conclude that both the Gnostics and later Islam draws from the solar triad tradition, and at best orthodox Christianity has built its pseudo-history as a reaction to it. However, I cannot say that Jewish Adiabene was a specific catalyst for an identification of an historical Christ. We could identify Gnostic Christianity as purely mythicist, incorporating historicist elements as a reaction to orthodoxy. On the other hand, there are essential elements of the historical narrative that clearly derive from a mythicist origin.

Consider the three Marys.

The mother, the sister-wife, and the virgin beauty represent three aspects of a single divinity. The virgin-whore-crone motif is common for Arabian moon goddesses. The three Marys are not reflecting a historical fact, but rather represent a mythological motif. These are the consorts of the Christ-god.

Consider Joseph and Asenath:

http://markgoodacre.org/aseneth/translat.htm

In this text, both Joseph and Asenath from the Genesis narrative are dressed up as the Syrian sun god and moon goddess. These same common mythological motifs are even applied to Mary the Mother of Jesus in the Catholic faith (crown of stars, Queen of Heaven, etc.).

I have to conclude that the Gnostic, mythicist narrative is not independent from some historical basis for Christianity, and then later reacts to it. The historicist narrative is incorporating mythicist elements.

That said, the most likely case for a historical Jesus would be a real-world figure who is identified as an important incarnation of the mythical Christ-god. This is where the mythicist narrative enters history, and anchors mythicist motifs to a loose historical and geographical (or at least factional) context.

Returning to Joseph and Asenath, what is remarkable is that Asenath is hid away in a tower. This connects with the "Magdala" of Magdalena. I believe that I have understood the various tower motifs (e.g.: Rapunzel) to have derived via (dubious) "Sangreal" legends that allegedly secretly insert the history of Mary Magdalene into European folk stories. Otherwise, I'm not sure if the maiden in the tower motif shows up anywhere. I'd prefer to think that the Moon Goddess of Syria/Arabia is associated with some celestial tower, but I cannot find an example of this.

If you are aware of any context for the maiden in the tower, please share.

Returning to the time of Simon Boethus, the issue of Mariamne Boethus's son Herod confuses (his wife Herodias is a somewhat essential historicist link to John the Baptist). Herod disappears from Josephus's narrative, and yet Philo seems to be aware of more prominent Herodian princes ca. 33 CE than Josephus is.

There is also Cleopatra of Jerusalem, who has a son Herod mentioned only once and never again (one assumed he died in childhood), and the other son is the famous Philip the Tetrach. We have no context for who this Cleopatra is or why she was married to Herod. There are rather bizarre speculations of her being a secret daughter of Caesar.

Finally, Mariamne and Simon are disgraced, along with Herod Boethus.

I would prefer to speculate that the following is true:

1) Cleopatra is a relation of Simon Boethus, perhaps his sister, and her elevation coincides with his. I link Simon Boethus's elevation to the peace deal Rome and Parthia struck in 23 BCE, and I hold the Parthian rebel Tiridates as a key negotiator (whom I believe is Philip II of Seleucia/Philippion of Chalcis/Ma'nu III Saflul of Osrhoene). I would like to think Simon and Cleopatra are his relations (perhaps, via Ptolemy Menneus's marriage to Alexandra the Hasmonean).

2) Herod Boethus is actually the Herod of Cleopatra, whereas Mariamne was never married to Herod the Great for being too young. Instead, Mariamne marries Archelaus. Perhaps the last minute change to Herod's will which reinserts Archeleus is due to a political alliance stemming from a marriage to Mariamne.

This would assume Josephus is lying, and his reasons for doing so (Nicolaus of Damascus is the source) relate to a simple political phenomenon. Zamaris the Babylonian Jew is living in Galilee with a capable army of Parthian horse archers. It would probably be the case that this alliance of convenience (contra robbers) arose as part of the same deal in which Manu Saflul's family members join Herod's dynasty.

To boot Simon Boethus was an attempt to lash out at the Babylonian faction. We might assume Philip's reputation was intact due to his being away at training in Rome. Towards the final days of his life, Herod the Great concedes to a new alliance in which:

1) Archelaus marries Simon's daughter Mariamne, reuniting the families.

2) Joazer Boethus will become High Priest and the office will return to the family.

3) Zamaris's army will support Archelaus as ruler of Judea.

This factional explanation aligns with the context at the time of Herod's death, and explains the situation with the Boethusians. Josephus/Nicolaus misreport the wives of Herod with three purposes in mind:

1) To conceal the political and military power of Adiabene supporting Herod - i.e.: giving a false reason for Simon's ascension to the throne.

2) To insulate Philip - a reputable Herodian - from the shame of the Boethusians (thus Mariamne is given Cleopatra's shame).

3) To place Mariamne Boethus in the wrong generation to conceal the biggest story of all.

We also see that Josephus mentions two separated rebels named Judas the Galilean: Judas of Sepphoris, son of Hezekiah and father of Menahem who rebelled in 4 BC, and Judas of Gamala, father of James and Simon, who rebelled in 6 CE. I have seen many historians assume these are the same person, but I don't think there's nearly any evidence to say that. It could be Josephus's intention to confuse his ignorant readers, or perhaps an interpolator hoping to do so.

All this suggests a missing story related to the shame and removal of Archelaus.

I would propose that:

Mariamne married Archelaus. Though Joazer was removed due to the 4 BC rebellion, Eleazar Boethus took his place. Thus the Boethusians retain power in Jerusalem.

Zamaris is present in Jerusalem as muscle to protect the Boethusians, but also to help Archelaus keep his rights in spite of the ambitions of Antipas.

The relationship between Zamaris and Archelaus turns foul.

Zamaris leaving Jerusalem is at least linked to the turmoil leading to the census of Quirinus, Archelaus loses his power base without him, the Boethusians lose power in Jerusalem and are replaced by the Ananians.

There is a catalyst for this event. The divorce of Mariamne by Archelaus for Glaphyra.

There is a woman from Josephus's account of the Babylonian Jews Anileus and Asineus whom I believe is Helena of Adiabene:

A certain Parthian, who came as general of an army into those parts, had a wife following him, who had a vast reputation for other accomplishments, and particularly was admired above all other women for her beauty.

If I have to imagine the career of this woman before being captured and married to "King Abgar", I could think of this hypothetical Mariamne, about whom Josephus wrote:

There was one Simon, a citizen of Jerusalem, the son of one Boethus, a citizen of Alexandria, and a priest of great note there; this man had a daughter, who was esteemed the most beautiful woman of that time; and when the people of Jerusalem began to speak much in her commendation, it happened that Herod was much affected with what was said of her; and when he saw the damsel, he was smitten with her beauty

The description is apt for a "Helena", and Anileus's capture of her certainly provides justification of the epithet. Queen Helena of Adibene's alleged sarcophagus bore the inscription "Tzara Malchata". There are some explanations for this which differ, but I have wondered if it may have a personal meaning "Queen Sarah".

Sarah and Abraham's story parallels that of Joseph and Asenath. In Egypt, Sarah pretends to be Abraham's sister.

Thus, I would like to think that Zamaris, who may be Bazeus of Adiabene, masqueraded as Mariamne Boethus's brother. This would allow him access to her household as a protector in spite of her marriage to Archelaus.

Helena is named as Bazeus's sister-wife by Josephus.

What is so interesting about sister marriage is that it is connected to mythicist motifs. The divine parents of the Syrian/Arab triad are sibling spouses. This is partly why the Ptolemys were among the few practitioners of sibling marriage: they were considered living deities. It is highly unusual for Bazeus and Helena to have been sibling spouses.

Consider also the legends surrounding Simon Magus:

Justin and Irenaeus are the first to recount the myth of Simon and Helen, which became the center of Simonian doctrine.[citation needed] Epiphanius of Salamis also makes Simon speak in the first person in several places in his Panarion, and the implication is that he is quoting from a version of it, though perhaps not verbatim.[24]

As described by Epiphanius, in the beginning God had his first thought, his Ennoia, which was female, and that thought was to create the angels. The First Thought then descended into the lower regions and created the angels. But the angels rebelled against her out of jealousy and created the world as her prison, imprisoning her in a female body. Thereafter, she was reincarnated many times, each time being shamed. Her many reincarnations included Helen of Troy, among others, and she finally was reincarnated as Helen, a slave and prostitute in the Phoenician city of Tyre. God then descended in the form of Simon Magus, to rescue his Ennoia, and to confer salvation upon men through knowledge of himself.

(wiki)

This relates to the doctrine of the Simonians which is very similar to the Elchasaite doctrines about the mythicist Christ-god. The direct reference to Helen of Troy, in the context of this hypothetical history of Helena of Adiabene, is remarkable. The prostitute motif corresponds to Asenath's representation of that mythical motif in Joseph and Asenath.

My instinct is that Joseph and Asenath could have been pre-Christian, and was from the Jewish mystical tradition that invented the Christ-god.

Thus, having Bazeus rescue his alleged sister from the tower of the son of Pharaoh, the daughter of Pharoah's (Herod's) High Priest, and then marry her, allows mystics and cultists to claim that Bazeus and Helena are literal incarnations of the cosmic archetype portrayed in Joseph and Asenath. Moreover, the argument would be that Joseph and Asenath were themselves earlier incarnations of the same divine spirits. History repeating is just divine forms reincarnated upon current events.

Zamaris may also have been a popular and stabilizing force in Judea and Galilee, who contrasted nicely with the controversial Herod.

It's particularly easy to see Helena/Mariamne come to be recognized - in her own lifetime - as the reincarnation of the divine Sophia. This would lead to the particular reputation she had, according to Josephus. We see Anileus tries to marry her, Ananias tries to convert her. She is forced into multiple periods of Nazarite asceticism.

Of course, the western Jesus takes on certain attributes of Theudas's history and ministry, in my opinion. However, the eastern Christ is fully Bazeus. This is the divine person who ascended the seven layers of heaven from Jerusalem as Mohammed did. This is the angel-prophet Elchasai.

I feel as if this hypothesis can be confirmed so long as the identity of Helena and the reason for her reputation can be identified. If she was Mariamne, and this is the same once married to Archelaus, then the entire story (almost) can be reconstructed.

I'll pose the question again: whence the maiden in the tower?

A first century source or earlier would take away from my hypothesis. However, if Mariamne was hidden away in one of Herod's three towers, and the fame of the beauty in the tower who was rescued by her brother-husband is actual history, it could be the provenance of the motif.

Clovis II (637 – 27 November 655 or 658) succeeded his father Dagobert I in 639 as King of Neustria and Burgundy. His brother Sigebert III had been King of Austrasia since 634. He was initially under the REGENCY of his mother Nanthild until her death in her early thirties in 642. This death allowed him to fall under the influence of the secular magnates, who reduced the royal power in their own favour. Clovis' wife, Balthild, was an Anglo-Saxon aristocrat sold into slavery in Gaul. She had been owned by Clovis' mayor of the palace, Erchinoald, who gave her to him to garner royal favour. She bore him three sons who all became kings after his death. The eldest, Chlothar, succeeded him and his second eldest, Childeric, was eventually placed on the Austrasian throne by Ebroin. The youngest, Theuderic, succeeded Childeric in Neustria and eventually became the sole king of the Franks.

Clovis was a minor for almost the whole of his reign. He is sometimes regarded as king of Austrasia during the interval 656–57 when Childebert the Adopted had usurped the throne. He is often regarded as an early roi fainéant.

Clovis II was buried in Saint Denis Basilica, Paris.

Chrodbert (also known as Chrodbert II or Robert II to distinguish him from his grandfather known sometimes as Chrodbert I; died after 678) was a nobleman from Neustria. He was grandson to Chrodbert I, referendary to Clovis II through Chrodbert's son Lambert of Hesbaye (died after 650). Chrodbert was Lord Chancellor[citation needed] during the reign of Chlothar III, King of the Franks in Neustria, as well as referendary. He was a contemporary of Ansbert of Rouen, who was also a Lord Chancellor[citation needed] to Clotaire III. Chrodbert was mentioned as Count palatine (comes palatinus) on 2 October 678.

Settipani identifies the first four of these children as the sons of an unnamed son of Chrodbert. However, given the status of these individuals, it seems unlikely that their father would have remained unknown. Grimbert, Count palatine, is credited as being a son of Chrodbert, although there is little evidence to support that. Some histories show Lambert, Count of Hesbaye, as son of Chrodbert, others as the son of Hervé. Chrodbert is typically viewed in scholarly reconstructions to have been a direct ancestor of the Robertians who ruled France from the ninth century.

The Robertians (sometimes called the Robertines in modern scholarship) are a proposed Frankish noble family and royal dynasty, whose members were ancestors of the Capetian dynasty that ruled over the Kingdom of France and several other countries (currently Spain and Luxembourg). Prominent Robertian ancestors of the Capetian dynasty appear in historical records as powerful nobles serving under various rulers of the Carolingian dynasty, mainly in West Francia, which later became France.

Clovis and Louis share the same origin, derived from the Frankish name *Hlūdawīg (or Chlodovech), meaning "famous in battle" or "famous warrior". The name consists of hlūd ("famous" or "loud") and wīg ("war" or "battle"). Over time, this name evolved into both the Latinized "Clovis" and the French "Louis"

The word asas in Arabic means "PRINCIPLE". The Asāsiyyūn (plural, from literary Arabic) were, as defined in Arabic, the principle people.

How could I, William Francis Dunn IV or Billy Dunn, ever be attracted to another woman (lust), lust is when the attraction and love is not reciprocated, after being attracted to Juliet Rose Landau and messing up saying they were being a dumbass when someone (Sire Rebecca the Inquistor and Slayer, betrayer of Juliet Rose Landau) is forcing them to suppress Juliet's incredible intelligence when I never met Juliet and unsure if I will ever get to be around a real woman for the first time in my life and get to marry them at 45 years old, I been wanting to love a woman in marriage for 40 years, people are forbidden from marriage and forced into marriages they don't want because the Vatican Pope Leo XIV from the American city Chicago using American neighbors weaponized litigation and corrupting the judicial courts to secretly blackball Americans from holding a job and being married?

Juliet Rose Landau has the beauty that is right for me calms me when I am not stressed over the future but I think I am deluded when it comes to them and in adultery and I ask to get me out of lust and marriage would be the only answer to that I sometimes doubt I am saved by Christ I don't know , I ask Christ to take complete control of me and it isn't there he is so powerful he can get the lust out me within hairsbreadth of a millisecond but he doesn't and yet told some wife of a man which was going to get stoned to death to go and sin no more. What happened to them? Come see me for marriage for the love of God, Jesus introduce a woman into my life that isn't a surprise because love is not a surprise, go look at a surprise birthday party and compare to Pearl Harbor surprise attack and 9/11/2001 surprise terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City

The Vatican wants me to lust from an asylum or prison and anyone else that says something about them

Looks like I also failed where Adam failed Eve except I am not married to THEM :( and I asked Jesus Christ to make me not fail a woman in marriage where Adam failed and I guess I will never truthfully happily serve a woman in a loving marriage :(

How come Jesus Christ doesn't save me from lust and adultery by introducing godly saved woman into my life? The Vatican controls the state and local judicial governments and has tried or has placed me on no job and marriage list.

I am lost when it comes to Jesus Christ and no pastor preacher truthfully addresses this problem and omits withholds vital information, maybe a judge can do what these pastors intentionally fail at, they are murderous conspiring clowns at the christian pulpit because they are secret papists with a genocidal agenda and they hate women!

Ellen G. White (1827–1915), a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, attended a significant camp meeting in Reno, Nevada, from May 24 to June 4, 1888. She was photographed with attendees during this visit, which was part of the early development of the Adventist movement in the Western United States.

Josephus explains in The Jewish War that John was also known as "Hyrcanus" but does not explain the reason behind this name. The only other primary sources—the Books of the Maccabees—never used this name for John. The single occurrence of the name Hyrcanus in 2 Maccabees 3:11 refers to a man to whom some of the money in the Temple belonged during the c. 178 BCE visit of Heliodorus.[1]

The reason for the name is disputed amongst biblical scholars, with a variety of reasons proposed:

Familial origin in the region of Hyrcania on the Caspian Sea[2]

A Greek regnal name, which would have represented closer ties with the Hellenistic culture against which the Maccabees had revolted under Seleucid rule. However, the region of Hyrcania had been conquered by Mithridates I of Parthia in 141–139 BCE

Given the name by the Seleucids after he fought in the region alongside Antiochus VII Sidetes against Phraates II of Parthia in 130–129 BCE, a campaign which resulted in the release of Antiochus' brother Demetrius II Nicator from captivity in Hyrcania

Maccabees in the New Testament

My last article presented several of Jesus’ teachings from the Wisdom of Sirach and noted the fact that Matthew’s gospel paid particular attention to those teachings. While Wisdom of Sirach had only a limited impact on the New Testament, the history of the Maccabees affected first century Judaism so strongly that our Protestant avoidance of 1st and 2nd Maccabees has enabled serious errors in some of our most central doctrines.

Like Sirach, 1st and 2nd Maccabees have been mislabeled as “apocrypha,” a title originally reserved for heretical Gnostic writings;1 but no apocryphal teachings arise in 1st or 2nd Maccabees. Even if one does not accept these books as Scripture, Martin Luther called them “profitable and good to read.”2 My hope is that this article will encourage many Christians to read these chronicles of resistance and victory, which strongly shaped Jewish culture at the time of our Lord’s incarnation and the Writings which followed from His apostles.

Inspiration for Pharisees

A Pharisee is a “separatist.” The title “Pharisee” occurs almost 100 times in the New Testament. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, the word derives from the Aramaic “perishaya” and the Hebrew “perushim,” meaning someone who separates himself from impure persons or things.3 One man in particular inspired the “separation” of the Pharisees. His name was Mattathias Maccabeus.

Antiochus IV Epiphanes rose to power in the Greek Seleucid Empire in 175 B.C. 1st Maccabees 1:10 introduces Antiochus Epiphanes, then quickly turns its focus to the Jews of that time who rebelled against God’s law and covenant. They regretted their separation from the religions and cultures of other nations and therefore wanted to form a covenant with nations like Greece. In the New English Translation of the Septuagint, 1st Maccabees 1:11 and 1:15 read as follows:

“In those days out of Israel came sons, transgressors of the law, and persuaded many, saying, ‘Let us go and make a covenant with the nations around us, because from the time we separated ourselves from them many evils have found us.’ … and they fashioned foreskins for themselves and apostatized from the holy covenant and joined themselves to the nations and sold themselves to do evil.”(emphases added)

In 168 B.C., Antiochus IV entered the temple in Jerusalem, massacring people and defiling the sanctuary. He demanded that the Judaeans become like the Greeks, a process known as “Hellenization.” The ones who conformed to Greek culture and education were called “Hellenes,”4 a word normally translated in our Bibles as “Greeks.” King Antiochus decreed that all of Judaea should be Hellenized, “To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.”(1st Mac 1:49 KJV)

In the Judaean town of Modin however, the elderly priest Mattathias refused bribes from the king’s officers to make profane sacrifices. The King James Version of 1st Maccabees 2:21-26 records his “zeal for the law” as follows:

“‘God forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordinances. We will not hearken to the king’s words, to go from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left.’ Now when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to the king’s commandment.

“Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear to shew his anger according to judgment: wherefore he ran, and slew him upon the altar. Also the king’s commissioner, who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down. Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.”

The events of 1st and 2nd Maccabees have been fictionalized in the excellent novel “My Glorious Brothers.” In reality, Mattathias and his sons defeated the Greek armies, as prophesied in the book of Zachariah, and began a Jewish reign which is referred to as “the times of the separation” in the NETS of 2nd Maccabees 14:3 and 14:38. On his deathbed, Mattathias gives a rousing speech, which is so important that it inspired the Hebrews 11 “hall of faith.” Running from 1st Maccabees 2:49 through 2:68, Mattathias’ speech includes, “Now therefore, children, be zealous for the law…” and “Remember the works of our fathers…” and “Children, be brave, and be strong in the law, for by it you will be glorified.”(NETS)

The New Testament word “Pharisees” is just a transliteration of the Greek “farisaion.” If the word were actually translated, our New Testaments would read “Separatist” or “Separatists” nearly 100 times. These first-century Jewish Separatists originated during the Maccabean armed resistance to Greece and subsequent cultural resistance to Hellenization, whether by Greek forces or Roman forces.

Maccabean Salvation

The “glory” which Mattathias promised his sons was God’s “salvation” from their enemies, which is the primary theme of salvation in the New Testament, not salvation from hell or from God’s wrath, as is commonly thought in Protestantism. Jesus spoke about hell (directly or indirectly) in just 60 verses, 3% of our red-letter verses. Yet in the four Gospels alone, demons (including Satan) are specifically mentioned or quoted as speaking in 120 verses. This number does not include indirect references nor vague titles like “the enemy” or even the “evil one,” as in the Sower parables.

On page after page, Jesus directly battles unclean spirits. When He frees people from demons, He speaks of Satan’s kingdom and proclaims His own kingdom of heaven or “kingdom of God.” He refers to Satan’s kingdom as “this world” and “the world,” setting Himself in opposition to it. Throughout the Gospels we hear of the battle between Light and darkness, as though the Maccabean battles had raged on without an end.

On his deathbed, Mattathias appointed his son Judas as the new commander. Judas continued spreading the message of zeal for the law, zeal for good works, and the expected salvation which God will give those who hold fast to His law. The KJV of 1st Maccabees 3:18-22 translates his words as follows:

“…it makes no difference before heaven to save by many or by a few. For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven. They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us: But we fight for our lives and our laws. Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them…”(emphases added)

When Judas Maccabeus prepares his troops before an army of enemies, he rallies them, saying, “Remember how our fathers were saved in the Red Sea when Pharao [sic] was pursuing them in force. And now let us cry out to heaven, if he will desire us and will remember the covenant of our fathers and will smash this company in front of us today. And all the nations will know that there is one who redeems and saves Israel.”5(emphases added) At the close of that battle, the writer of 1st Maccabees declares, “And a great salvation came about in Israel on that day.”6(emphasis added)

The Maccabean Revolution happened just 160 years before our Lord’s incarnation. The Maccabean salvation lived on in first-century Jewish minds, and it followed from the lips and pens of Jesus and His apostles. In the Great Commission, hell and wrath get no mention, but the King of Kings’ authority takes center state. Later when Jesus commissioned Paul, He still did not offer a message about hell, but about His own authority and about salvation from enemies: “I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.”7

We may recognize the implications of wrath and hell in the Great Commission or in Paul’s commission, but the explicit and predominant theme throughout the New Testament is that of a war between two kingdoms and the escape of prisoners who “turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God.” We do not read 1st and 2nd Maccabees, therefore we overlook that theme and then offer the subtexts (wrath and hell) as the New Testament’s primary theme. The Maccabees fought flesh and blood; our King and His apostles fought equally real enemies for the salvation of prisoners: “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.” (Col 1:13 NKJV)

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Eph 6:11-12 NKJV)

Maccabean Zeal

When we overlook the histories of the Maccabees, we also misunderstand the context of some of the most important language in the New Testament—language which communicates Maccabean themes like salvation, works, Pharisees, zeal for the law, circumcision, and redemption.

Before our King’s incarnation, Judaea and Rome had come together in peace through the efforts of a nephew of Judas Maccabeus named John. Two of John’s grandsons fought one another in the Hasmonean Civil War, a war which the Roman Republic resolved by conquering Jerusalem in 63 B.C. and then demanding tribute.

The Roman Republic became the Roman Empire, and its power over Judaea had increased greatly by the time John the Baptist preached. The people of Judaea longed for the same salvation which Mattathias and his sons had accomplished. They believed in large part that separation (Pharisaism) was their means of salvation, in contrast with Hellenization. More simply stated, they believed that God would save the zealous separatists from their enemies.

Mattathias had called them to zeal for works of the law and zeal for the law itself, both of which showed their faith in God. The following excerpts are from the NETS of 1st Maccabees 2:50-68 (emphases added):

“Now, children, be zealous in the law, and give your lives for the covenant of our fathers.”

“Remember the works of our fathers, which they did in their generations, and receive great glory and an everlasting name.”

“Was not Abraam found faithful in temptation, and it was accounted to him as righteousness?”

“Ioseph in the time of his affliction observed the commandment …”

“Phinees our father, by becoming zealous with zeal …”

“Elias, by becoming greatly zealous for the law, was taken up into heaven.”

“Hananias, Azarias and Misael, because of their faith, were saved from fire.”

“Children, be brave, and be strong in the law, for by it you will be glorified.”

“And you shall draw to you all those who observe the law …”

“Return what is due to the nations, and be attentive to the ordinance of the law.”

Judas, son of Mattathias: “But we fight for our lives and our laws. Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them …”(1st Mac 3:21-22 KJV emphasis added)

Jonathon, son of Mattathias wrote to Rome: “… we have the holy books of scripture in our hands to comfort us … we have help from heaven … we are delivered from our enemies, and our enemies are brought under foot.” (1st Mac 12:9,15)

Simon, son of Mattathias: “Ye yourselves know what great things I, and my brethren, and my father’s house, have done for the laws and the sanctuary … Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary …” (1st Mac 13:3,6 KJV emphasis added)

Eleazar the Scribe: “… manfully changing this life, I will shew myself such an one as mine age requireth, And leave a notable example to such as be young to die willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy laws …” (2nd Mac 6:27-28 KJV emphasis added)

First of seven martyred brothers: “… we are ready to die, rather than to transgress the laws of our fathers.” (2nd Mac 7:2 KJV emphasis added)

Seventh of seven martyred brothers: “… I will not obey the king’s commandment: but I will obey the commandment of the law that was given unto our fathers by Moses. … But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the laws of our fathers…” (2nd Mac 7:30,37 KJV emphases added)

Testimony of Nicanor: “… the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he gave them. (2nd Mac 8:36 KJV emphasis added)

Regarding Judas Maccabeus: “And he resembled a lion in his works … And he caused bitterness to many kings, and gladness to Iakob by his works …” (1st Mac 3:4,7 NETS emphases added)

So likewise after the fashion of the Maccabean Separatists, the Apostle Paul wrote of himself, “a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless,”8 As Mattathias and his followers described it, zeal and works came from faith. The Maccabees did not try to earn heaven by their works, but to live out their faith as Separatists who trust in God, rather than as Hellenes who forsake their faith in God.

By the first century, the Separatists (Pharisees) had perverted the zeal-and-works mindset of their Maccabean heritage into that of boasting. Yet zeal and works were not what we have misunderstood the New Testament to say; that is, works were not a method of earning heaven. Zeal and works were the Maccabean outcome of faith, a faith which resulted in divine “salvation” from enemies.

Circumcision in the Maccabees

Why in the world did the apostles talk so often about circumcision? After the Book of Joshua, circumcision and foreskins are mentioned just seven times in the Protestant Old Testament, aside from the use of the epithet “uncircumcised” for non-Jews. Three of the seven verses are about David’s “bride price” for Saul’s daughter Michel, leaving a paltry four verses on the topic across 33 books. Yet such genital surgery shows up a whopping 65 times in the words of the apostles.

Since the Protestant Old Testament prophets and historians almost completely omit the topic after the Israelites entered the Promised Land, we should ask how male genital surgery morphed into such a hot topic in the first century. If we open an Old Testament of one of the 2,000-year-old branches of Christianity, however, we get nine more passages, seven of which occur in 1st and 2nd Maccabees, both of which Martin Luther called “profitable” reading.

Wasting no time at all, circumcision shows up in the very first chapter of 1st Maccabees. A key aspect of Hellenization was the provision of gymnasiums where men competed naked. The KJV of verses 14 and 15 reads “Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen: And made themselves uncircumcised …”

You heard it right: “made themselves uncircumcised.” Gymnasium competition was as important to Hellenized societies as bath houses were to Roman society. Therefore Judaeans who forsook the law would undergo epispasm or infibulation procedures, which Paul references in 1st Corinthians 7:18.

Twice I have visited a synagogue, and on neither occasion did anyone check to see if I had a foreskin. Yet circumcision was so important in 1st century Judaea, that even the apostle Paul felt it necessary to circumcise a Christian on one occasion,9 because the events of 1st and 2nd Maccabees had left such a deep imprint on the Jewish culture of that era.

First-century Separatists (Pharisees) did not expect their missing foreskins to save them from Rome, much less get them into heaven. They had faith, however, that God would see their zealous separation, like that of the Maccabees, therefore He would save them from Roman rule, just like He had saved their ancestors from Greek rule. Uncircumcision and Separatism were polar opposites, one a sign of covenant with God and the other a sign of covenant with unbelievers:

“And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen …”(1st Maccabees 1:15 KJV)

Works versus Grace

If it is true that New Testament “salvation” is primarily a Maccabean liberation from enemies, and if New Testament “works of the law” are acts of faith, including Pharisaism and circumcision (all being properly understood through the lens of the Maccabees), what then should we make of the works-versus-grace discussions? After all, Paul writes in such a way that grace and faith seem directly opposed to works.

In the history of the Maccabees, Jews were saved by grace through works. Since “grace” means divine generosity and “salvation” in that day meant divine liberation from Gentile rulership, first-century Jews who held a Separatist (Pharisaic) loyalty to their covenant with God would by their faith, do works which reflected God’s law, believing by faith that God in His generosity (grace) would save them from their enemies. In short, they believed they would be saved from Rome, by grace, through works of the law.

After King Jesus defeated the kingdom of this world, the Holy Spirit revealed the true battle to His apostles—apostles who lived in a post-Maccabean society where works, salvation, circumcision, and Separation from Gentiles all referred to the smaller-scale conflict of Gentile authority versus Jewish fidelity. The Maccabees needed to have faith in God’s covenant in the face of grave temptation, in order to evoke God’s grace to save them. Their faith in God’s covenant resulted in works of the law, therefore grace and works were tied directly together.

In contrast, Christians simply believed that Jesus is the promised King of Psalm 2, which calls Him the “Christ” (meaning “Anointed”) in verse 2, the King in verse 6, and God’s Son in verse 7 who defeats the rulers of this world in verses 8 and following. Therefore unlike the Maccabean Revolt, works did not have to precede salvation from the apostles’ enemies, because that battle had already been won. When people believed the apostles’ testimony that Jesus is the victorious King, works followed; but salvation had already been won, therefore Paul could say, “For by grace you have been saved through faith … not as a result of works…”

Conclusion

Maccabean salvation from enemies happened by God’s grace through faith after works of the law by circumcised, zealous, Separatists. The Maccabean history markedly colors the New Testament, and our Protestant theology suffers from its omission from our reading. Here are a few additional Maccabean influences on the New Testament:

The Feast of Hanukkah in John 10:22-36 comes from the events in 1st Maccabees 4:36-59 and 2nd Maccabees 10:1-8.

Before Paul and James recounted Abraham’s belief and God’s having counted his belief as righteousness, the writer of the Maccabees also did so in his “Hall of Zeal.”

The Hebrews 11 “Hall of Faith” includes the mother from 2nd Maccabees 7:1-29 in Hebrews 11:35 which states, “Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life.”(ESV) While many mothers lost their children in the Old Testament, none but she are recorded as seeing their children tortured and refusing release so that they might rise again to a better life.

1st and 2nd Maccabees record the fulfillment of prophecies in Daniel 8:9-14 and Zechariah 9:13-17.

Origen of Alexandria called 2nd Maccabees “holy Scripture” and taught the doctrine of creation ex-nihilo, based on the words of the same unnamed mother in 2nd Maccabees 7.10

1st and 2nd Maccabees were received as inspired Scripture by all four apostolic branches of Christianity long before the Protestant Reformation.

Athanasius, Festal Letter 39: “… nor is there in any place a mention of apocryphal writings. But they are an invention of heretics who … may find occasion to lead astray the simple.”

Hills, Edward, “King James Version Defended” (Ankeny, IA: Christian Research Press, 1997) p. 98.

Acts 26

1599 Geneva Bible

26 2 Paul in the presence of Agrippa, 4 declareth his life from his childhood, 16 and his calling, 21 with such efficacy of words 28 that almost he persuaded him to Christianity. 30 But he and his company depart doing nothing in Paul’s matter.

1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. So Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself.

2 [a]I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answer this day before thee of all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

3 Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customs, and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

4 [b]As touching my life from my childhood, and what it was from the beginning among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews,

5 Which [c]knew me heretofore, even from my [d]Elders (if they would testify) that after the [e]most straight sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.

6 [f]And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers.

7 Whereunto our twelve tribes instantly serving God day and night, hope to come: for the which hope’s sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

8 [g]Why should it be thought a thing incredible unto you, that God should raise again the dead?

9 I also verily thought in myself, that I ought to do many contrary things against the Name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: for many of the Saints I shut up in prison, having received authority of the High Priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my [h]sentence.

11 And I punished them throughout all the Synagogues, and [i]compelled them to blaspheme and being more mad against them, I persecuted them, even unto strange cities.

12 At which time, even as I went to Damascus with authority, and commission from the high Priests,

13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven passing the brightness of the sun, shine round about me, and them which went with me.

14 So when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against pricks.

15 Then I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

16 But rise and stand up on thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose to appoint thee a minister and a witness, both of the things which thou hast seen, and of the things in the which I will appear unto thee,

17 Delivering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

18 [j]To open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them, which are sanctified by faith in me.

19 [k]Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision,

20 But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works worthy amendment of life.

21 For this cause the Jews caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.

22 [l]Nevertheless, I obtained help of God, and continue unto this day, witnessing both to [m]small and to great, saying none other things, than those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come,

23 To wit, that Christ should [n]suffer, and that he should be the [o]first that should rise from the dead, and should show [p]light unto this people, and to the Gentiles.

24 [q]And as he thus answered for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself, much learning doth make thee mad.

25 But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speak the words of truth, and soberness.

26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak boldly: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him: for this thing was [not] done in a [r]corner.

27 [s]O King Agrippa, believest thou the Prophets? I know that thou believest.

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to become a Christian.

29 Then Paul said, [t]I would to God that [not] only thou, but also all that hear me today, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

30 [u]And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.

31 And when they were gone apart, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.

32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been loosed, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
