Mary Magdalene: Author of the Fourth Gospel?
http://ramon_k_jusino.tripod.com/magdalene.html

This article makes a case for ascribing authorship of the Fourth Gospel (the Gospel of John) in the New Testament to Mary Magdalene. Most biblical scholars today assert that the Fourth Gospel was authored by an anonymous follower of Jesus referred to within the Gospel text as the Beloved Disciple. It is posited here that, in an earlier tradition of the Fourth Gospel's community, the now "anonymous" Beloved Disciple was known to be Mary Magdalene. It is further posited that Mary Magdalene is the true founder and hero of what has come to be known as the Johannine Community (i.e., Mary Magdalene was one of the original apostolic founders and leaders of the early Christian church)

The evidence supporting this thesis includes some of the Gnostic Christian writings of the Nag Hammadi Library, and internal evidence from the text of the Fourth Gospel itself. This study also relies heavily on the Johannine Community research done by Raymond E. Brown (America's foremost Catholic biblical scholar).

To this day, Mary Magdalene remains a most elusive and mysterious figure. Speculation about her role in the development of early Christianity is not new. She has been the subject of many different theories and myths throughout ecclesiastical history. Such speculation is the result of the deafening silence from the Scriptures regarding this woman who is cited by all four Gospels as being present at both the Crucifixion of Jesus and the Empty Tomb on the morning of the Resurrection. Why is it that we know virtually nothing else about her? Has she made contributions to the development of the early church of which we are not aware?

Here is a fact that few people seem to know: The Bible never explicitly says that Mary Magdalene was ever a prostitute at any point in her life. Luke does not name her in his narrative about the "penitent whore" who washes the feet of Jesus with her hair (7:36-50). Nor is she named as the woman who was caught in the act of adultery and saved from being stoned to death by Jesus (John 8:1-11). She is identified as once having been demon-possessed (Luke 8:2). However, the assumption that her sinful past consisted primarily of sexual sin is a presumption that is not usually made about the men who are identified as former sinners.

Many prominent scholars have argued, quite convincingly, that there was a concerted effort on the part of the male leadership of the early church to suppress the knowledge of any major contributions made by female disciples. It is asserted here that much of Mary Magdalene's legacy fell victim to this suppression.

This study posits the theory that the Fourth Gospel, once universally believed to have been authored by John of Zebedee, was actually authored by Mary Magdalene. It is further posited that she was the Beloved Disciple of the Fourth Gospel and, therefore, the founder and leader of what has come to be known as the Johannine Community. Indeed, there is more evidence pointing to her authorship of the Fourth Gospel than there ever was pointing to authorship by John.

This Beloved Disciple knew Jesus personally and was in the originating group of the Johannine Community (Brown 1979: 31). The Fourth Gospel was based on this disciple's own eyewitness account (John 21:24). Brown identifies several phases in the development of the Fourth Gospel: 1) the initial pre-Gospel version authored by the Beloved Disciple; 2) the pre-Gospel work produced by "the evangelist" or main writer; and, 3) the final version written by a redactor after the death of the Beloved Disciple (1979:22-23)

You may note at this point that in the above cited passages from the Gospel of John, the Beloved Disciple is clearly male. Also, in 19:25-27 and 20:1-11 the Beloved Disciple and Mary Magdalene appear in the same scenes simultaneously.

How can I allege that Mary Magdalene is the Beloved Disciple in light of this? The answer will be addressed in detail below. But for now: The reason that the Beloved Disciple was turned into a man in the text was because this disciple was clearly the founder and hero of the community that produced this Gospel. At some point after the death of Jesus, the emerging male leadership of that community simply became embarrassed about having a female founder. In order to "mainstream" their community, they suppressed some of the more radical practices that Jesus taught them through his example -- such as treating everyone with equal dignity and respect, including the sick, the poor, the oppressed, the outcast, and women.

One fact is very clear: For some reason, the writer of the Gospel of John wanted to keep the identity of the Beloved Disciple a secret. This disciple was obviously an extremely important figure in the history of their community. Why, then, is the name of this disciple concealed? Was the goal to protect this disciple from persecution? Hardly -- after all, the disciple was clearly deceased when the final draft of John's Gospel was produced (21:20-24). Is it possible that the writer of the final draft had forgotten the name of their beloved founder? It’s not very likely. This is, indeed, an interesting mystery.

Today, the majority of biblical scholars, both Catholic and Protestant, assert that St. John of Zebedee did not write the Gospel that bears his name. They ascribe authorship to the "anonymous" Beloved Disciple. So, if the evidence pointing to John as author of this Gospel is so flimsy -- how, then, did this book become known universally as the Gospel of John?

The Fourth Gospel was initially accepted earliest by "heterodox" rather than "orthodox" Christians (Brown 1979: 147). The oldest known commentary on the Fourth Gospel is that of the Gnostic Heracleon (d. 180). The Valentinian Gnostics appropriated the Fourth Gospel to such an extent that Irenaeus of Lyons (d. 202) had to refute their exegesis of it.

This strong connection between the Fourth Gospel and Gnostic Christians provides significant support for my thesis.

The Gnostics were branded as heretics by the emerging institutional church very early on in ecclesiastical history. Of significance to this study is the following: Many Gnostic groups practiced radical egalitarianism. They believed that God acted and spoke through both men and women. Both men and women were known to be leaders and/or prophets in their communities. Many men, including those in the church, felt threatened by them.

The popularity of the Fourth Gospel among Gnostics made it important for the early church to pursue the question of its apostolic authorship (Perkins: 946). It was Irenaeus who defended the apostolicity of the Fourth Gospel by appealing to a tradition circulating in Asia Minor which, he claimed, linked John of Zebedee to the Fourth Gospel. The testimony of Irenaeus, however, makes for very tenuous evidence establishing John of Zebedee as the Fourth Gospel's author.

Brown's research reveals that there was a schism early in the history of the Johannine Community. He posits that the community divided in two due to an internal christological disagreement. The majority of the community, whom Brown refers to as the Secessionists, defended the community's high christology and moved toward Docetism, Montanism, and Gnosticism (Brown 1979: 149). The rest of the community, whom Brown refers to as the Apostolic Christians, were amalgamated into the emerging institutional church.

The Apostolic Christians became accepted as "orthodox" believers because they were willing to modify their christological beliefs in order to conform to the teachings of the emerging church hierarchy. The Secessionists, the majority of the Johannine Community, were quickly labeled as "heretics" by the institutional church because they did not make any such modifications. This schism took place before the final canonical redaction of the Fourth Gospel.

My hypothesis includes the assertion that, at the time of the schism, this pre-canonical version of the Fourth Gospel clearly identified Mary Magdalene as the Beloved Disciple. The Secessionists, as Brown calls them, preserved the tradition of the Magdalene as the Beloved Disciple -- the founder and hero of their community. The Secessionists brought their tradition with them to several Gnostic groups. This explains Mary Magdalene's identification as the Beloved Disciple in several ancient Gnostic documents from a corpus of literature known as the Nag Hammadi Library.

The Apostolic Christians, on the other hand, gravitated toward the institutional church and were pressured into suppressing, among other things, their tradition claiming that a woman was their founder and former leader. The end result of this suppression is the Fourth Gospel as we have it today.

FIRST STAGE -- (mid-50s to late 80s A.D.): The originating group of the community is led by Mary Magdalene. She is highly esteemed as the primary witness to the Resurrection of Christ. She is recognized as such even by believers who do not belong to this particular community. She is known, very early on, as the companion of Jesus, and the disciple whom Jesus loved. An essential part of their proclamation of the gospel is the fact that Mary Magdalene was the first to see the Risen Christ.

SECOND STAGE -- (c. 80-90 A.D.): At this point, the community has a version of their Gospel, either written or oral, which includes the tradition that Mary Magdalene was their founder, hero, and leader. Mary Magdalene is probably deceased by this time. There is a schism in the community which is most likely the result of an internal dispute about their high christology. The community is divided into two groups which Brown calls the Secessionists, and the Apostolic Christians.

The Apostolic Christians: As the church becomes a more organized institution, this group is fearful of ostracism and persecution. They seek amalgamation with the leaders of the emerging institutional church. The claim that a female disciple of Jesus had been their community's first leader and hero quickly becomes an embarrassment. They need to obscure that fact if they are to be accepted by the male leadership of the growing organized church.

The Secessionists: They are the larger of the two groups. They hold on to their tradition which cites Mary Magdalene as the Beloved Disciple of Jesus. Many members of this community take this tradition to various Gnostic groups. Their identification of Mary Magdalene as the disciple whom Jesus loved is reflected in the Gnostic Christian writings of Nag Hammadi -- e.g., the Gospel of Philip and the Gospel of Mary.

The evidence which links authorship of the Fourth Gospel to Mary Magdalene is found in the Gnostic writings of the Nag Hammadi Library. Of particular interest are the Gospel of Philip and the Gospel of Mary (referring to Magdalene).

At this point in the text, Mary Magdalene goes on to tell Peter, Andrew, and Levi about her visions of the Risen Christ and her conversations with the Lord. These visions involve something which she refers to as the seven powers of wrath (NHC BG 8502.1.16.12-13) (Robinson 1988: 526). After she concludes her discourse about her revelations from the Lord, the men argue over whether to accept the authenticity of the Magdalene's vision.

Clearly, these passages establish as indisputable fact that, at least in some ancient gnostic communities, Mary Magdalene was thought of as having been the "Beloved Disciple" and the companion of the Lord. She is repeatedly singled out as the disciple whom Jesus loved the most. This would seem to contradict the assertion in the Fourth Gospel that the male founder of the Johannine Community is "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (John 13:23).

There is no doubt that the Beloved Disciple in the canonical version of the Fourth Gospel is an anonymous male disciple. Yet, as we have seen, the writings of the Nag Hammadi Library reflect a strong tradition repeatedly naming Mary Magdalene as the disciple whom Jesus loved. How do we explain this disturbing contradiction?

1) There is no connection between the Fourth Gospel and the Gnostic writings cited here. They simply reflect two different traditions which cite two different people as Jesus' favorite disciple. This is simply a coincidence.

2) Brown's explanation: The writers of the Gnostic gospels were influenced by the portrait of Mary Magdalene as an extraordinary proclaimer of the Resurrected Christ. This portrait of Mary Magdalene sparked the Gnostic writers to make her the disciple whom Jesus loved most and the chief recipient of post-resurrectional revelation (Brown 1979: 154).

3) My thesis: The pre-canonical version of the Fourth Gospel clearly named Mary Magdalene as the disciple whom Jesus loved, just as the Gnostic writings still do. The Gnostic writings reflect a dependency on the pre-Gospel text which the "Secessionists" brought to the Gnostic groups after the schism (Brown 1979: 149). The rest of the community, Brown's "Apostolic Christians," also had the same pre-Gospel text. They, however, redacted their text in order to make it more acceptable to the emerging institutional church which they wished to join. They quashed references to Mary Magdalene as having been their founder. They, instead, made references in the text to a "Beloved Disciple," but turned the disciple into an anonymous male.

In two passages of the text, their redaction attempts to make the Beloved Disciple and Mary Magdalene seem to be two different individuals by having them appear together in the same scenes. They did this because they knew that the church leaders would not accept the authenticity of a Gospel written by a woman.

My thesis also alleges a contrivance on the part of the final editor of the Fourth Gospel. The redactor wanted to maintain that the Gospel was based on the eyewitness testimony of his community's founder and hero. However, he did not wish to admit that this founder and hero was a woman. Yet, he could not very well deny Mary Magdalene's presence at the Crucifixion and the Empty Tomb. So, his "contrivance," as Setzer puts it, was to change Mary Magdalene into an anonymous male disciple throughout the text except in those places where he could not deny her presence due to the strong prior tradition to the contrary. In those scenes, he placed the Beloved Disciple and Mary Magdalene together in the same passages.

Brown also notes that the Fourth Gospel contains many accurate references to Holy Land places and customs (1979: 22). These references suggest eyewitness authorship by someone who lived in the Holy Land before the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70. All of these observations by Brown are consistent with a paradigm that includes Mary Magdalene as the author of the Fourth Gospel.

Another factor which tends to support my thesis is the "one-upmanship" of the Beloved Disciple in relation to Peter in the Fourth Gospel (Brown 1979: 31). The juxtapositional relationship between Peter and the Beloved Disciple in the Fourth Gospel is very similar to the relationship between Peter and Mary Magdalene in the Nag Hammadi Corpus. This suggests that the redactor of the Fourth Gospel changed Mary Magdalene into the anonymous male disciple but kept the competition motif between the disciple and Peter.

Positing Mary Magdalene as author of the Fourth Gospel does not challenge its apostolic origin. If Mary Magdalene was the leader and hero of the Fourth Gospel's community, then she was probably recognized as an Apostle within that community. Indeed, in recognition of the fact that she was the first to proclaim the Resurrection of Christ, the Roman Catholic Church has honored her with the title apostola apostolorum which means "the apostle to the apostles."

Readers should also refrain from assuming or inferring that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had any kind of illicit amorous relationship based on any of the readings cited here. We should not be too quick to look at ancient literature through a "modern lens."

Does this thesis seem radical to you only because I propose that a woman authored one of the four Holy Gospels in the Bible? If I had a thesis which proposed that Bartholomew, or Andrew, or James, or any of the other male apostles authored the Fourth Gospel instead of John -- would that be considered very radical?

My Review of Dan Brown’s THE DA VINCI CODE
http://ramon_k_jusino.tripod.com/davincicode.htm

Brown's novel seems to have many historical inaccuracies. One example of this is found on page 233 of the book. A character named Sir Leigh Teabing, who is a Grail authority, is discussing the history of the Grail. Teabing says that the belief in the divinity of Jesus was something that the Council of Nicaea, in effect, made up in 325 AD.

This is a glaring half-truth that can be very misleading to many people. The belief in the divinity of Jesus goes back to the very first Christians. Interestingly enough, the New Testament document in which the divinity of Jesus is most apparent is the Fourth Gospel which I have argued was authored by the Beloved Disciple, a.k.a. Mary Magdalene

The fact is that up until the Council of Nicaea, there were a variety of opinions as to the nature of Jesus Christ. The idea of Jesus being human and divine was very difficult for people to fathom back then. And it is still difficult to comprehend today. Some pre-Nicene Christians believed that Jesus was God, but not really a true human being. One of the big reasons that Gnosticism was ruled a heresy by the Nicene Council was ostensibly because they believed Jesus to be divine but not human. Conversely, another group known as Arians were also branded as heretics ostensibly because they believed Jesus to be a human but not God. All Christians, however, believed Jesus to be the Son of God in whatever way they may have understood this at the time.

The Council of Nicaea was interested primarily in uniformity -- one Church with one set of beliefs. Christianity had recently been legalized in the Roman Empire in 313 AD. This was their first opportunity to organize publicly without fear of being arrested or killed simply for being Christian. Emperor Constantine also had an interest in the outcome of the Council. Constantine wanted Christianity to be the new official religion of the Roman Empire

The assertion in this book that Christians did not view Jesus as the divine Son of God until the Council of Nicaea is factually incorrect. Yes, there were diverse opinions about Jesus' nature in the early church. And some Christians did not understand Jesus to be God per se. But, the majority of the Christians did not view Jesus as simply a mortal prophet. And Mary Magdalene certainly viewed Jesus as divine. We see this in both the New Testament and the Nag Hammadi Library.

What Dan Brown's character goes on to say about the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Library can also be very misleading.

The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947 (not the 1950s). They do not mention Jesus Christ at all. And they were hidden in those caves c. 70 AD, some 250 years before the Council of Nicaea for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with the as yet unborn Emperor Constantine at all.

The Nag Hammadi texts are incorrectly called "scrolls" in this book. They were, in fact, codices. And they do not mention anything about Jesus and Mary Magdalene having children, being married, or having a sexual relationship at all. Mary Magdalene is referred to as the disciple whom Jesus loved and as the "companion" of Jesus. And, granted, some have translated the Coptic word as "consort" rather than "companion." But I think it’s a leap to say that these documents tell "the true Grail story" based on this.

Furthermore, since the Nag Hammadi texts were probably compiled by Gnostics, in them a great emphasis is placed on the divine Risen Jesus who is alive and revealing his divine glory to a select group of people, particularly Mary Magdalene. I would hardly call the image of Jesus in the Nag Hammadi texts as that of a mortal prophet.

Did Leonardo da Vinci Believe that Mary Magdalene was the Beloved Disciple?
http://ramon_k_jusino.tripod.com/leonardo.html

In the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail (1982) by Michael Baigent, et al., Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is said to have belonged to a secret organization called the Priory of Sion. According to Baigent, Leonardo and the other members of this group were in possession of privileged information about an alleged marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. This information was apparently passed down through history in conspiratorial fashion. And, it seems, Leonardo da Vinci was one of the keepers through whom this secret knowledge passed. The methodology in Baigent’s book has been seriously questioned by many scholars. And I do not believe that the legends discussed by Baigent are to be relied upon for accurate historical research. However, there are a few things in Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’ that are worth noting here.

The famous Last Supper mural was completed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1498. It captures the very moment described in John 13:24 when Peter asks the Beloved Disciple to ask Jesus for the identity of his betrayer. This incident is described only in the Gospel of John. None of the other New Testament Gospels contain this account.

My interest in this mural focuses on the Beloved Disciple, who is traditionally believed to be St. John the Apostle. In Leonardo's ‘The Last Supper’ the Beloved Disciple is sitting next to Jesus, to his right. Peter is seen whispering in this disciple’s ear as the disciple leans over to Peter in order to hear what Peter has to say.

In my article, I discuss my hypothesis that Mary Magdalene was probably the Beloved Disciple and, therefore, the true author of the Fourth Gospel (the Gospel of John). Leonardo da Vinci may have been in possession of some information to that effect. Many people have observed that if you look closely at this disciple sitting next to Jesus, you’ll notice that this disciple seems to be a woman.

Some have observed that Leonardo has Jesus and the Beloved Disciple positioned in such a way that, together, they seem to form the letter “M”. (Perhaps it’s for Mary or Magdalene?)

These may be examples of what scholars refer to as “Renaissance clues.” It was a common practice of Renaissance artists to leave hidden messages or clues in their work. This was apparently done to safely express ideas that were considered dangerous or subversive in those days. In Leonardo’s day, one could find oneself in much trouble for expressing thoughts that challenged the generally accepted worldview -- especially in matters of religious doctrine. If Leonardo did believe that Mary Magdalene was the Beloved Disciple, for his own safety he needed to be very careful about sharing that only with people he could trust. Otherwise, he might have wound up in serious trouble with Church authorities.

I am not the first to observe this. I pass this along to you because I find it to be very interesting. Whether the disciple appears to be female is, of course, a very subjective call. It is up to each individual to decide whether they see a man or a woman or whether they see an M formed by Jesus and the disciple.

This late 15th century mural proves nothing about the 1st century events described in the New Testament. But, if Leonardo intentionally made the Beloved Disciple seem ambiguously female, and formed the letter M as described, then this may show that Leonardo believed that Mary Magdalene was, indeed, the Beloved Disciple of the Fourth Gospel. And, if he did believe that, he probably did so based upon his reliance upon information that he believed to be credible.

Fallen Watchers of Enoch and the 12 Disciples in Mark’s Gospel
http://vridar.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/ ... ks-gospel/

I found this article by Rick Strelan interesting reading:

The Fallen Watchers and the Disciples in Mark, Journal for the Study of Pseudepigrapha, 20 (1999) 73-92
Rick Strelan begins by showing the likelihood that the gospel authors knew and drew upon Enochian legends and themes.

The legend of the Fallen Watchers — those angels who left the high heaven and descended to marry the daughters of humans — is one of the myths most often cited in the Jewish-Christian literature of the period 200 BCE to 300 CE.

The ‘Book of Watchers’ of 1 Enoch is referred to in

1. Jubilees
2. 2 Enoch
3. 3 Enoch
4. 2 Baruch
5. The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs
6. Philo’s ‘On Giants’
7. Josephus in Antiquities 1.3.1
8. Qumran documents
9. Jude 6
10. 2 Peter 2:4
11. 1 Peter 3:19-20
12. Justin Martyr (2 Apology 5)
13. Athenagoras (Plea 24-26)
14. Irenaeus (Against Heresies 1.10.1; 1.15.6; 4.16.2; 4.36.4)
15. Pseudo-Clementine Homilies (8.12-18)
16. Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions (4.26)
17. Manichaean writings (The Kephalaia of the Teacher 92, 93, 117, 171)
18. Nag Hammadi documents (e.g. Ap John 19:16-20:11)

Strelan writes that in nearly all of these references, the myth of the Fallen Watchers is told to illustrate the lesson that the present generation is sinful and is facing a test of faithfulness to the law of God.
A related theme that comes through, especially in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs (Reuben) is the evil of women. Women are lying schemers and seducers of men. They brought about the fall of the Watcher angels, and the faithful are warned to guard against sexual lust, and women.

Strelan refers to an article by George Nickelsburg in which he sees the Gospel of Mark’s Passion Narrative drawing on Jewish stories of Joseph, Ahikar, Esther, Daniel and Susanna. Strelan sees Mark as also constructing the disciples of Jesus according to the fallen Watchers legend of Enoch. And again, it is to present the same lesson: the unfaithfulness of his own generation.

Strelan says that the Aramaic term “Watchers” is “peculiar to apocalyptic literature”.
Greek translations of 1 Enoch translate it with a word very similar to that used in Mark’s gospel for “watch”, as in the exhortation to the disciples in Mark 13:37

In 1 Enoch the Watchers

• are ‘holy angels who watch’ (20:1)
• are of the higher class of angels like the archangels, cherubim and seraphim,
• are ‘the eternal watchers’ (41:1) in the presence of God
• belong to the Great Holy One (12:3)
• do not sleep but stand before the glory of God (39:12, 61:12, 71:7)
• never depart from the Great One (14:23)
• are known as “sons of heaven” (6:2; 13:8; 14:3)
• have been given the secrets of the heavens (9:6; 16:3)
• are appointed to fulfill certain duties (20:1-8)

There are usually (but not always) 4 leader watchers: Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael.
Watchers refer to many angels, but only some of them fell. These were a group of 200 led by Shemihazah/Semyaz (6:3) or by Azael/Azazel (8:1; 10:4; 13:1).

These who fell bound themselves by an oath to leave heaven and descend to earth to marry the daughters of earth (6:3-5).

Giants are born to them, and these giants transgress the dietary laws by eating certain “birds, wild beasts, reptiles and fish” without removing the blood (7:5). The Watchers also breach trust by teaching people on earth the “eternal secrets that are performed in heaven” (9:6), teach the making of weapons, arts, crafts, incantations, astrology, cosmetics and bracelets (8:1-4).

For all their Promethean efforts they bring ruin to the earth (9:10), and all their spirit offspring from their unlawful relations with women will be punished (10:12-15). The archangels will have the job of binding up Azazel and the Watchers and destroying their offspring.

Their sin was not exalting themselves to reach a higher status on heaven than to which they were entitled. It was the opposite. They sought the “things of men”, they craved to live “in the world”, on earth, “like the children of the earth” (15:3). In this way they defiled themselves, and when they had sex with human women. Strelan writes:
The sin of the Watchers in the literature is nearly always identified as their alliance with the daughters of humans. Their alliances with such women are regarded as [porneia] and the offspring of such unions are described in terms of [porneia]. So ‘the sons of the watchers’ are . . . ‘the sons of fornication’ (10:9)

Strelan cites where Justin, Athenagoras, the Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions and the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs also link the sin of the Watchers with illicit sexual unions and idolatry. They are said to be the cause of all the evil that entered the world.

The Damascus Covenant of Qumran describes a two-fold sin of the Watchers of heaven:

1. they follow the “eyes of whoredom” (2:16)
2. they “walked in the stubbornness of their hearts”, following their own ways and rejecting God’s commandments (2:17-18)

I Enoch also speaks of “the hardness of the heart” of the Watchers when they taught the mysteries of heaven to women on earth (16:3).

Strelan compares these sins of the Watchers with Jesus’ warnings to his disciples, and Peter in particular:

1. hardness of heart (Mark 6:52)
2. thinking the things of men, not of God (8:33)

Hardness of heart, thinking the things of humans, and the weakness of the eyes are three aspects in the fall of the legendary Watchers and in the fall of Peter and the disciples in Mark.

The Qumran community (if there was one) appears to have objected to the mixed marriages of the Temple priests. In Jewish angelology the angels in heaven mirror the priests in the earthly Temple, and some scholars have suggested that the Watcher legend in Enoch was told as a parable about the Jerusalem priests who married outside their correct circle.

Peter and the 12 Disciples; Satan and the Fallen Watchers
http://vridar.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/ ... -watchers/

Rick Strelan sees the author of the Gospel of Mark, like the authors of the pseudepigraphic and Qumran writings, being most conscious of his time being the time of a faithless generation (Mark 9:19). The Gospel begins with a call to repentance, and follows with Jesus battling against and overcoming the powers that ruled and oppressed that generation. These powers of evil were demons, and according to the Enochian legend of the Watchers, they were the offspring of fallen angels and human women (Mark 3:22-27.

The gospel is about faithless generation in a time of testing. The disciples are tested by persecutions, cares of the world and the desire for riches (4:14-19). Jesus’ followers are commanded to Watch.

The Watchers legend was used to condemn illicit priestly marriages. Strelan suggests the possibility that Mark had something like this in mind from the several times he does very strictly address marriage and sexual issues.
Reading the Gospel of Mark against the background of Enoch’s Watchers called to come after/follow behind:

Peter, Andrew, James and John are the first and only disciples explicitly called to “come behind” (οπισω) Jesus. Hence they are the leaders of the band appointed to be with Jesus.

Strelan cites H. Seesemann in TDNT, V, pp. 289-92 to explain that this preposition, οπισω, is used in the Septuagint to express the relation between God and his chosen people, and implies full commitment and service to God.

These 4 are identified as “fishers of people”. The fishing metaphor is about the end-time judgment.
So the fishermen were constantly making judgments separating clean from unclean.

These four disciples, Peter, Andrew, James and John, and eight others are appointed to be “with” Jesus. Mark 3:14 and he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach
Angels in general and Watchers in particular are to be with the Holy One, constantly in his presence.

When Enoch is translated into the heavens he is accompanied by an archangel who is always with him: 1 Enoch 21:5; 22:6; 23:4; 24:6

So the call to watch is closely associated with the duty of angels to attend the Holy One and to be in his presence.
To deny being with him is to fall as Watchers fell.

The implication is that Peter is the leader angel and one who stands out of line with Jesus. Jesus has been in Peter’s house where he healed his mother-in-law. Jesus then leaves for a deserted place.

Peter, like Azazel, has a band who is “with him”, and they cannot understand or accept Jesus going into the desert to pray. Mark 1:35-36

Strelan sees a negative account of the disciples here. They are “pursuing” Jesus with intent, he says. They want him back in the house. Strelan continues: Nor can the disciples tolerate the Son of Man suffering (8:32), nor can they stay awake and pray with him (14:37-38)

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “Are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

The 12 watchers are appointed to have authority over the demons (Mark 3:15)

He appointed twelve—designating them apostles—that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.

The number 12 probably represents the 12 tribes of Israel: 1QM 2:2-3; compare the links with the 12 aeons in the Gospel of the Egyptians 3:2.57-58

After them the chiefs of the Levites serve continually, twelve in all, one to a tribe. . .

Sakla said to the great demon Nebruel, “Let the twelve aeons come into being in the [...] aeon, worlds [...].” And he said to the great angels, “Go and let each of you reign over his world.” Each one of these twelve angels went forth. The first angel is Athoth. He is the one whom the great generations of men call [...]. The second is Harmas, who is the eye of the fire. The third is Galila. The fourth is Yobel. The fifth is Adonaios, who is called ‘Sabaoth’. The sixth is Cain, whom the great generations of men call the sun. The seventh is Abel; the eighth Akiressina; the ninth Yubel. The tenth is Harmupiael. The eleventh is Archir-Adonin. The twelfth is Belias.

Compare angels who are given authority over specific areas of the world and who descend to teach on earth. They are listed with their various jurisdictions, and the names of these Watchers are listed.

And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, 8 Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel.
Compare Mark 3:17-19

These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder); Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Strelan writes:

Not surprisingly, the demons call Jesus ‘the Holy One’ (Mark 1:24) and they know who he is. Demons have such knowledge, according to the legend, because their fathers (the Watchers of heaven who came down to earth) were once Watchers of the Great Holy One and so, of course, recognized him.

Peter is named with the name of the leader of the fallen angels.
Jesus addresses Peter as Satan, Mark 8:33

But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

Strelan suggests that Mark is indicating to the readers that the failure of Azazel (Satan), the leader of the band of Watchers, is in danger of being repeated in Peter and the other disciples.

The Testament of Dan cites Enoch speaking of Satan, their leader, and associating him with “porneia”, pride, and the things of men. Peter, Strelan argues, had demonstrated his own pride when he rebuked Jesus (Mark 8:32).

For I have read in the book of Enoch the righteous, that your prince is Satan, and that all the spirits of fornication and pride shall be subject unto Levi, to lay a snare for the sons of Levi, to cause them to sin before the Lord.
1 Enoch 15:3 speaks of the Watchers being mindful of, or thinking of things of the earth, which may be equated with thinking like humankind.

Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth. . .

Strelan sees some link between having a mind on the things of the earth and making alliances in this adulterous and sinful generation, just as the Watchers made sinful alliances with illicit marriages: Mark 8:34-38

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
The above confrontation between Jesus and Peter took place at Caesarea Philippi, which is near the foothills of Mount Hermon. An audience familiar with the book of Enoch would know that it was on Mount Hermon that the chief Watcher, Azazel, swore an oath with his 200 followers to descend to earth and marry the daughters of men.

Galilee, where Angels fell and Jesus came; and where the Temple was condemned
http://vridar.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/ ... jerusalem/

In both 1 Enoch and the Gospel of Mark the location of God’s revelation is in Galilee, and especially upper Galilee in the Tel Dan region extending through Caesarea Philippi to Mount Hermon. It was outside Caesarea Philippi that Jesus was acknowledged as the Christ, and at a nearby mountain where he was transfigured.

In both books, this northern location that has long been associated with sacred sites of Jewish and pagan origin is set in opposition to the earthly and corrupt priesthood and Temple system based at Jerusalem.

It may not be insignificant that in the Hebrew scriptures Dan (part of this region), is regularly associated with apostasy from the faith centred at the Jerusalem Temple and priesthood.

So Enoch delivered his message of judgment against the fallen angels seven kilometers from Dan, at Abel beth Maacah and we know that the rebel angels descended at Mount Hermon, according to Enoch 6:6.

And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon.
“Thus the whole of this primordial drama unfolds in a narrowly circumscribed geographical region.” (Nickelsburg, Enoch, Levi, and Peter, JBL 100/4 (1981) 583)

As quoted above (Enoch 6:6), the angels came down to earth, leaving their rightful station in heaven, at Mount Hermon.

We are reminded of Genesis 28 where Jacob slept at Bethel and finds he is at “the gate of heaven” where angels descend and ascend between heaven and earth. Bethel is at the southern end of Israel, with Dan at the northern border, and it is at Bethel we later find a companion shrine to Dan (I Kings 12:26-31; II Kings 10:29).

It is at the waters of Dan that Enoch sees the gates of the heavenly temple. In the Aramaic text of 1 Enoch 13:8 we read:

After Enoch announces God’s judgment upon the fallen angels, they commission Enoch to intercede for them, including writing out a petition for them, and “to recite it in the presence of the Lord of Heaven” (13:4). The phrase, “in the presence of”, is a specific cultic term, as we learn from its many uses throughout Exodus and Leviticus.

To carry out this request, Enoch goes to Dan and it from there that he is taken up into the heavenly temple to come before God. It is evident that the reason he went to Dan was for just this purpose — to find the presence of God in order to deliver the petition of the fallen watchers. It is by the waters of Dan (see previous post on Rivers and Revelation) that Enoch reads himself into a trance and is taken up into heaven. His way is marked by the usual signs of the presence of God: dark clouds, lightning, winds.

In Enoch 15:2-4 Nickelsburg sees “yet another, more specific type of cultic language, which closely resembles explicit polemics against the priesthood”.

First, note the setting. God is depicted as dwelling in a heavenly temple (in earlier OT texts such as Ezekiel, God descended to earth to commission his prophets) where he is attended by angels who are sometimes described as if they are priests.

The stories of Ezra and Enoch are very similar here:

• Ezra arrives to find many Israelites, but especially priests and Levites, who have married foreign women, and thereby defiled the holy people and the priesthood.
• Ezra prays on their behalf.
• The people assemble before him, confessing their guilt and seeking forgiveness.

Compare Enoch:

• The priests of the heavenly sanctuary have defiled themselves by marrying and having intercourse with women who have been, as a class, forbidden to them.
• They ask Enoch, the scribe, to intercede for them
• The watchers assemble before Enoch to hear the outcome of the petition. They are condemned. No forgiveness.

Nickelsburg concludes that this must mean that the tradition found in Enoch must have been long and firmly grounded in this geographic area of Upper Galilee. He also sees the very precise cartographic descriptions of the locations of Dan and Abel Maîn as indicators that the tradition at some point embraces those who had first hand familiarity with this geographical region.

For these two reasons, then, Nickelsburg decides that the this Enochian tradition indeed originated in the Galilean area itself, and must in turn be closely associated with the visionary activity for which the area of Dan-Hermon was famous.

And there is the further support of later Jewish and Christian uses of this tradition, again with the same geographic locale.

But what is one to make of the priest-related language in this tradition in Enoch?

Nickelsburg suggests that what we see here is the well-known apocalyptic typology between primordial and end-time events. Does the sin of the angels at the beginning of time speak, in fact, of the author’s consternation over what he sees as the defiled priesthood in Jerusalem?

The hypothesis is that circles in Upper Galilee who viewed the Jerusalem priesthood as defiled, and under God’s judgment, were the same from whom originated the apocalyptic myth of the fallen watchers of Enoch.

If the Temple priests in Jerusalem were defiled, then where did these communities find the presence and revelation of God? The suggestion is, of course, around the holy area of Dan. So there appears to be some indication that the traditionally sacred sites of Dan were the centres of divine revelation from God whose heavenly temple — and the gateway between heaven and earth — was nearby.

As we find in certain Old Testament prophets, the present defilement of Jerusalem’s temple and priesthood is not the end of the story. After the judgment comes the purified restoration.

If Jerusalem is impure now, in the last days the tree of life will be transferred to it.

But when the present condition of the Temple is described in the Enochian compilation, it is always negative.
Multiple copies (or part copies) of Enoch have been found at Qumran. If, as is widely accepted, this collection represents a community who also had their own differences with the Jerusalem priesthood, we may have our first evidence of a tangible community who were among the heirs of the Enochian tradition.

Nickelsburg goes on to examine threads that stitch together the Testament of Levi and Gospel narratives about Peter’s confession at Caesarea Philippi (in the same region), his being the first to witness the resurrection of Jesus, and his denial of Jesus which was in the context of the household of the high priest.

One little detail is the potential significance for the exorcism scene just after the transfiguration of Jesus, presumably on Mount Hermon. This had always seemed something of an anti-climax after a scene that resonates with the drama of Moses himself standing within the presence of God. When Moses returned from the mountain there was an adventure to match the glory in which he had been immersed. But if we see an exorcism by Jesus as a signifier of his power over the demons who fell at this very place, perhaps we can appreciate there was a bit more to the drama than a less informed reading of the text suggests.

The more significant point is that the Gospel of Mark itself presents Jesus’ climactic revelation, his transfiguration, at this same sacred area; and it is from this moment that he turns to face Jerusalem and its priesthood who is opposed to who he is and what he preaches. Before that final conflict, he himself will pronounce judgement on both the Temple and Jerusalem, and will repeat this before the high priest himself at his trial.
It is hard not to see at least this version of early Christianity itself having its roots in whatever was behind those Upper Galilean communities who preserved the Enochian myths and literature.

The Fall of Jesus’ Disciples as Enoch’s Watchers
http://vridar.wordpress.com/2010/08/06/ ... -watchers/

The Mount of Olives was “sacred space” for the author of the Gospel of Mark. This was the place where Jesus took Peter, James and John into to the revelation of the mystery of the signs — Mark 13:3 (the Little Apocalypse/Olivet Prophecy).

Called to Watch, but “like children of the earth” fall asleep

So for the fourth time Jesus takes Peter, James and John aside to be “with him” – (14:33). These three are thus appointed to stay awake with Jesus, just as Watchers are ordained to be awake in the presence of the Lord day and night. Faithful watchers do not sleep.

Here on the Mount of Olives Jesus addresses his head disciple by his real name, Simon, (not “Peter”), “thus suggesting the ambiguity of their relationship”. This is the same Simon who, in Mark 1:36 had, along with those “with him”, pursued (with hostile intent) Jesus, to turn him away from the desert place where he had gone to pray.
Now again we find Jesus alone praying. This time, however, Peter lacks the strength to pursue him aggressively, and falls asleep instead. The disciples, like the “children of the earth”, fall asleep. Jesus exhorts them to “watch and pray” (14:38) lest they enter temptation.

Watching and praying are the duties of Enoch’s Watchers and angels in general. Their task is to intercede for humans and bring their prayers to God — e.g. 1 Enoch 9:4-9; 15:1-2; Tobit 3:16, 12:12, 15.

Jesus alone is the true “son of the father” (14:36), or son of heaven. His disciples show themselves to be, instead, sons of the earth.

The Watchers of Enochian legend fell as a result of their attraction to the flesh.

Jesus warned his disciples not to “enter into temptation”. This phrase has its parallel in earlier phrases in Mark speaking of “entering into the kingdom”. “Both imply movement into a realm, a situation or state of existence.” To enter into temptation is to enter into a realm of testing. Enoch’s Watchers entered this realm when they came down to earth and loved the women whom they took as wives and to whom they bore children. In their temptation they acted like “the children of the earth”.

The fall into temptation, within the context of the Watchers, is to think like humans, to seek human status and reputation, to save face, to save one’s own life, to follow the dictates of the heart, including the evil eye and adulteries.

The Watchers were ordained to be “with God”, but instead they chose to be “with humans”, with flesh and blood, and accordingly they became weak and prone to death. This is what is meant by “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”. It is about much more than simple physical weariness.

Mark focuses on the eyes here in particular, but also throughout the gospel. He is the only evangelist to list the “evil eye” (7:21) as one of the sins of the human heart.

The disciples’ eyes are “very heavy” (Mark 14:40). Strelan notes here that sleep in some early Christian literature is associated with works of darkness and death. In this context, to be asleep is to belong to this world, unlike the holy Watchers who never sleep.

Strelan additionally notes that in the Christian tradition desire leads to sin and death (James 1:14), and that desire is closely associated with the eyes. Thus in 1 John 2:16 one finds the desire of the eyes being coupled with the desire of the flesh, and both being “of this world.” Similar associations are found in the Community Rule of Qumran.

And, of course, the desire of the eyes is sometimes sexual: Matthew 5:29 and 2 Peter 2:14. This was the sin of the Watchers — the attraction between the Watchers and the women had to do with the eyes of both. So Strelan sees the significance of the eyes increasing in the episode of Peter’s denial.

Like the Watchers in 1 Enoch 13:5, the disciples do not know what to say (Mark 14:40) when faced with Jesus who catches them sleeping. (Mark alone makes this observation, and recalls his similar descriptor at the transfiguration: 9:6).

Peter first goes into the courtyard of the high priest, but as Jesus is being abused, Mark tells us that Peter is “down below” (Mark 14:54, 66).

As Peter now enters the realm of “temptation” of which he had been warned, he is said to be in descent (κατω), like the Watchers who descended to earth (οι καταβαντες) in 1 Enoch 6:6.

Strelan contrasts this uniquely Markan “down” location of Peter with the elevation of Jesus as the Son of Man who sits at the right hand of God and comes with clouds of heaven (14:62). In 1 Enoch the contrast is between the angels who descend to earth and Enoch who is called by the faithful Watchers to ascend from earth to heaven.

The legend of the Watchers being attracted to the “daughters of earth”, or in some versions, the women attracting or seducing the Watchers, has been seen as a disguised attack on the Jerusalem priests and their intermarriages.
Strelan sees the two themes of women and the priesthood in Mark’s account of Peter’s descent.

When the bondwoman of the high priest sees Peter, Mark very distinctly stresses the act of her looking and seeing. Only this bondwoman is said to look so intently, or look at all. Other bystanders who engage with Peter are not so described. And the other synoptic gospels omit this Markan emphasis on the woman intently gazing at him. Strelan again reminds readers of Mark’s unique inclusion of “the evil eye” among the sins of the heart (7:21).

So what is the significance of this bondwoman? Mark alone describes her as the servant of the high priest. Likewise he alone says that the servant whose ear was cut off was a high priest’s servant (14:47). But this woman is one of a number of bondwomen belonging to the high priest (14:66).

Strelan cites Hillel (m. Abot 2.7) saying that wherever bondwomen increase, so lewdness increases; and Jeremias who claimed that “every freed woman slave was regarded ipso facto as a harlot!” High priests did have slaves (Josephus, Ant. 20.181, 206) and wealthy Jews had them, including female servants (Sir. 7.21; 33.27-33; Jdt 8.7; 16.23; Sus. 15). And finally, “according to Jubilees, the fact that people had slaves was an indication of evil and an indirect cause of the Flood (11.2)”

So now at Peter is entering the realm of temptation, the temptation meets him in the form of a woman associated with the high priest. So Peter is in the courtyard of the high priest, and the audience has just heard that the high priest has town his clothes and accused Jesus of blasphemy.

Mark has portrayed Peter as coming into the association with the priests and their servant women. Jesus had called him to be a Watcher and serve as a priest-angel. But Peter now denies that calling.

Of significance also is that later in 1 Enoch (41.2; 45.1-2; 46.7) “sinners” are those who have denied the name of the Lord of the spirits, and who do not extol that name.

Strelan also wonders if some readers would have associated Peter’s own oath-making (14:71) with the oath of the fallen angels pledging to enter into illicit unions with the daughters of earth (1 Enoch 6.5).

Thus the last word spoken in the gospel by a male disciple is a word of denial.

The Fallen Watchers and the Disciples of Mark
http://vridar.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/ ... s-of-mark/

Strelan argues that the Gospel of Mark’s disciples were based on the legend of the Fallen Watchers in the Book of Enoch. Both disciples and watchers were called to have special spiritual responsibilities and callings in the presence of God or the Son of God, and that both fell through attachment to the things and ways of this world. Strelan finds a number of details in common to associate Mark’s disciples, especially Peter, with the Fallen Watchers of Enoch.

The above confrontation between Jesus and Peter took place at Caesarea Philippi, which is near the foothills of Mount Hermon. An audience familiar with the book of Enoch would know that it was on Mount Hermon that the chief Watcher, Azazel, swore an oath with his 200 followers to descend to earth and marry the daughters of men.
The primary duty of angels is to serve through doing the will of God.

Service was also the lesson Jesus taught his disciples, as we read in Mark 9:35 and 10:42-45. This message was intended for those Jesus chose to be leaders, Peter in particular, and all the twelve.

One might say that the disciples are taught to rule, not like the gentiles, but like the angels, or watchers.
The angels, as we learn in the Book of Enoch, sin by leaving God and their proper status by choosing rather to procreate with women.

So in Enoch the act of taking wives and bearing children is a pursuit “of men”, and as such defies the spiritual status of one who has eternal life in heaven.

Three times before the Passion Narrative Jesus took Peter, James and John “with him” in order to give these chief watchers access to the mysteries not available to all.

G. Nickelsburg (‘Enoch, Levi, and Peter: Recipients of Revelation in Upper Galilee’, JBL 100 (1981), pp. 575-600) discusses in depth the associations of Mt. Hermon with Jacob’s ladder and the Enoch Watcher legend of the fallen angels, and its associations with priest-angels and the gateway to the heavenly sanctuary. It is the sacred place of revelation and direct access to God’s throne. The Testament of Levi associates Mt. Hermon in very similar ways with Levi, the patriarch of the priests. The details of Nickelsburg’s article are fascinating, but they require another post to share.

The special significance here is the privileged status of Peter, James and John, who are with Jesus “alone”. When Mark says they were “led” or “taken up” to the mountain by Jesus (9:2), he uses a word that is normally associated with “sacrifice” — anaphero — and sacrifice is the way to access God’s blessings through the holy priesthood. The imagery is of Jesus taken up the three watchers with him to the mountain, not for sacrifice, but to open the way for them into the heavenly sanctuary.

I would never have connected the incoherent words of Peter, or the “looking around” (9:8) by the three disciples, with feelings of shame over mortal sinfulness. On the other hand, one cannot help but be so often struck by Mark’s ironies and ambiguities in unexpected places, that it is only prudent to be open to the possibility elsewhere in his gospel, too. What would an audience familiar with the legends of Enoch have noticed in Mark’s gospel?

This time a fourth, Andrew, is included. Strelan sees the foursome being like the four Enochian archangels: Gabriel, Raphael, Michael and Uriel. Once again these chief watchers are given a “private” “alone” moment with Jesus who is to reveal to them the secrets of the signs. They sit on the eschatological Mount of Olives opposite the Temple, the symbol of God’s presence.

1 Enoch says the watchers were likewise given a revelation of the secrets of heaven.

Again like the angelic watchers of 1 Enoch, these four chief watchers are given specific authority. They are four servants who have been given the command to watch for “that day”. The parable of the doorkeeper reinforces the message: Watch! (13:34). These four “doorkeepers” are given special authority to watch, but the command is to all who would “come behind” Jesus.

The Kolbrin
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/herco ... rin_03.htm

There are many different "Bibles" that survive in our era of discovery.

They include:

the "Dead Sea Scrolls" from Israel
the "Nag Hammadi Library" from Egypt
the "Kebra Nagast" from Africa
the "Bee Bible" from China (still a part of the canon of Eastern Orthodox Christians)
the "Writings and Teachings of the Buddha Issa" (Jesus) from Tibet
the extensive Kolbrin Bible from Britain

Each contains a different view of the same events in history. Each vindicates the other as having come from the same source.

The Kolbrin is more significant than a mere religious history lesson. It is the first Judaic/Christian document that binds our scientific understanding of human evolution with creationism and intelligent design. The mathematical principles from the Kolbrin reflect the ancient interest of the Druids in the stars, mathematics and global catastrophe.

The Kolbrin speaks of the return of the "Destroyer" planet, a dark star that has caused a disaster in the past and is predicted to do so again.

The Kolbrin Bible is the collection of documents (Bronze Book) that was hidden at the time of the burning of the Glastonbury Abbey in England by Edward the First (Longshanks) in 1184 AD. It has been preserved by secretive groups for the last 850 years. Edward sought to destroy the Kolbrin believing it to be a heretical rival of the Holy Bible and a potential threat to his rightful claim as King of England.

By Edward’s time in history the 1,920 acres of Glastonbury had long been considered a sacred gift to the family of Jesus and often operated like a sovereign nation, not paying taxes to the crown and riddled with mystery and religious significance.

In 1992 a leader of the failing "Hope Trust", that considered itself the protector of the Kolbrin, distributed a copy before its complete deregistration in 1995 intending to preserve it before it could be lost with the dissolution of the trust.

The Yow World Books copy of the Kolbrin comes from one of those 1992 original distributed copies that was sent to India for publication. There are two published versions, ours in America and the Culdean Trust version in New Zealand.

There are isolated copies in Lebanon, England, the Vatican and others around the world.

Great Britain played a significant role in the saga of the Bible and part of the lives of many of its most significant personalities.

The Romans called the ancient druid fraternity centered in Britain by the name of "Magi", the same fraternal order that had mentored the Pharaohs in Egypt, Emperors in ancient China, Royals of India and all the Caesars in Rome.

These "Wisemen" were teachers of nine courses of study, including astronomy, mathematics, oratory, medicine and religion. Much of that knowledge is contained in the Kolbrin. Their mummies have been found on the Silk Trade routes into China and have been depicted in paintings and written histories as counselors along side world rulers for thousands of years. They were the first international group to recognize Jesus as the antecedent for the messianic prophecies having anticipated his birth from their knowledge of the stars and the teachings of their ancestors.

They used Stonehenge and other facilities in Britain in their schools. By the time of Jesus, Jowett estimates that there were 60,000 students in the schools of Britain having taught notables like Pontius Pilate (Lucius from Spain) and his patron Lucius Sejanus, the praetorian prefect of Tiberius Caesar. Others included Britanicus, the son of Claudius Caesar and a significant group of the Roman elite.

Constantine himself was educated in Britain from the religious teachings in the British Schools and was most likely acquainted with the Kolbrin.

The very word "Brit" isn’t English, but rather Hebrew for "Covenant". The British considered themselves the people of the covenant because their connection with the "Ten Lost Tribes" from the Assyrian conquest of Judea in the 8th century BC. The word "Saxon" means the sons of Jacob. The "Ten Lost Tribes" were never really lost at all. The Kolbrin can rightfully be called the lost Bible of the Ten Lost Tribes.

Jeremiah the prophet fled the conquest of the Babylonians in 600 BC and fled via Ethiopia to Britain where his tomb is in Ireland to this day. He took with him the daughter of King Zedekiah of the house of David and the illustrious ancestor of Jesus. That is why Jesus’ grandmother, St. Anna, was born in Brittany. That is why the survivors of the crucifixion eventually migrated to France and Glastonbury England after Jesus’ death.

They had family and allies in Western Europe. These people knew and understood the teachings of the Kolbrin long before our Bible was compiled in 325 AD by Constantine at the Nicene Council.

The Kolbrin also has a special third party account of the Exodus from Egypt at the time of Moses. Princess Scota, daughter of Ramases II, lived during the time of Moses and was rumored to have been one of the many princesses who cared for the infant Moses. She married a Hebrew noble who took her to Britain. Scotland is named after her.

The Exodus portion of the Kolbrin reads like a third party account, exactly as Scota would have told the story.

The first part of the Kolbrin contains the creation story that both reads like a religious and a scientific text.

The last two books in the Kolbrin are about Jesus. They read like a text book biography, as would have been taught in an ancient British school. The Kolbrin contains the moral teachings which they considered fundamental in society.

The Kolbrin survives like the curriculum of and ancient British history book. It is the only Judaic/Christian document to tell the whole story of human creation, including the people who were here on the earth prior to the coming of Adam and Eve alluded to in the Holy Bible. The term "Fallen Angels" in Genesis didn’t refer to spirit beings but men who married the daughters of Adam and Eve and had children.

They came from an advanced scientific and religious society who survived by hiding in caves after an earlier cataclysm.

They called themselves "The Sons of God". As "Fallen Angels" their wickedness had precipitated a cataclysm. The Kolbrin has one of the most elegant stories of the coming of Adam and Eve in existence. Suddenly the story of Atlantis and Lemuria and their tales of "Eden" and catastrophe because of wickedness, tie into the beginning creation story from the Holy Bible.

They prophesied that there would be another cataclysm followed by a thousand years of peace finalized by a judgment and the return of the "Sun God" in the same fashion the Hebrew Prophets predicted the Millennium and the coming of the Messiah and the final judgment of God.

Several decades ago a sword from the sixth century, the time of King Arthur, was found in Pennsylvania.

This sword was featured in the book "Holy Kingdom" by Adrian Gilbert from England and his research team. Adrian suggested that it may very well be the sword Excalibur. From the frescos on the Stoke Dry Cathedral in England from the seventh century AD we see the story of King Arthur II having been killed by Native American Indians.

Written on the blade of this sword is the word "Colbrin" or "Kolbrin" in ancient Nagef, a language spoken in the Middle East at the time of King Arthur.

The Nagef language is the language of the artifacts found at our Illinois archeological site.

Nibiru and the Kolbrin
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/herco ... rin_06.htm

The Kolbrin bible contains startling passages that describe none other than the fly-by of Nibiru itself.

From the ‘Book of Creation,’ Chapter Three:

“…It is known and the story comes down from ancient times that there was not one creation but two; a creation and a recreation. It is a fact known to the wise that the Earth was utterly destroyed once then reborn on a second wheel of creation. At the time of the great destruction of Earth God caused a [celestial] dragon from outer heaven to come and encompass her about. The dragon was frightful to behold, it lashed its tail and breathed out fire and hot coals and a great catastrophe was inflicted upon mankind. The body of the dragon [Nibiru/Planet X] was wreathed in a cold bright light and beneath on the belly was a ruddy hued glow while behind it trailed a flowing tail of smoke.

"It spewed out cinders and hot stones and its breath was fowl and stenchful poisoning the nostrils of men. Its passage caused great thundering and lightning to rend the thick darkened sky, all heaven and Earth being made hot. The seas were loosened from their cradles and rose up pouring across the land. There was an awful shrilling trumpeting which outpoured even the howling of the unleashed winds. Men stricken with terror went mad at the awful sight in the heavens.

They were loosed from their senses and dashed about crazed not knowing what they did. The breath was sucked from their bodies and they were burned with a strange ash. Then it passed leaving Earth enwrapped with a dark and glowering mantle which was ruddily lit up inside. The bowels of the Earth were torn open and great writhing upheavals and a howling whirlwind rent the mountains apart. The wrath of the sky monster [Nibiru] was loosed in the heavens. It lashed about in flaming fury roaring like a thousand thunders. It poured down fiery destruction amid a welter of THICK BLACK BLOOD [Red ash].

"So awesome was the fearfully aspected thing that the memory mercifully departed from Man. His thoughts were smothered under a cloud of forgetfulness….. in this manner the first Earth [Tiamat] was destroyed by calamity descending from the skies. Men and their dwelling places were gone. Only sky boulders and the red earth remained where once they were. But amidst all the desolation a few survived for Man is not easily destroyed but crept out of their caves and came down the mountain sides.

Their eyes were wild and their limbs trembled. Their bodies shook and their calls lacked control. Their faces were twisted and their skin hung loose on their bones. They were as maddened as wild beasts driven into an enclosure before flames. They knew no law being deprived of all the wisdom they once had and those who had guided them were gone…”

The Kolbrin Bible goes on to give us a warning of the red comet/planet’s return, named the Destroyer:

“When blood [the red ash] drops upon the Earth the DESTROYER [Nibiru] will appear and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land and the seas will boil. The heavens will burn brightly and redly. There will be a copper hue over the face of the land followed by a day of darkness.

A new moon [one of the satellites of Nibiru] will appear and break up and fall. The people will scatter in madness. They will hear the trumpet and the battle cry of the DESTROYER and will seek refuge in the dens [underground bunkers] of the Earth. Terror will eat away their hearts and their courage will flow from them like water from a broken pitcher.

They will be eaten up in the flames of wrath and consumed by the breath of the DESTROYER. In those days men will have the great book before them, wisdom will be revealed. The few will be gathered for the stand. It is the hour of trial. The dauntless ones will survive. The stout-hearted will not go down in destruction…”

With passages like these I tend to put much weight in what the text has to say—a planetary encounter. Yes, I realize ancient manuscripts have certain built-in biases and exaggerations dependent upon the point of view of the author but at the same time you simply cannot just throw a precious document like this out with the bath water.

Therefore it is reasonable to suggest the Destroyer mentioned in the Kolbrin, is in fact Nibiru, the celestial Sky Monster accompanied with a red meandering comet-like serpentine tail.

Planet X and the Kolbrin Connection
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/herco ... rin_08.htm

Jeremiah, a prophet from the Old Testament, felt compelled to warn us of something he called the Destroyer.

“Disasters will soon spread from nation to nation. They will come like a powerful storm to all the faraway places on earth… The DESTROYER will come against every town, not one town will escape… The Lord said this will happen.”
Jeremiah 25:32 & 48:8

Thankfully, a more detailed description that corroborates Jeremiah is provided in The Kolbrin Bible, a secular anthology, parts of which were written in the same time period.

The New Webster’s dictionary defines the word “Destroyer” as something that destroys or puts an end to. Therefore, if the Destroyer “put an end to” mankind’s greatest cities in far away places, the Destroyer must be celestial in nature and large enough to affect the entire Earth this way.

This work provides supportive evidence suggesting the Destroyer is a planetary body known today as Planet X and which many believe will fly through our solar system during the 2012 time frame with cataclysmic results for the Earth.

Planet X is very real and known to the ‘elite,’ a hidden fact they have discovered from an ancient source and have held close to their hearts for quite sometime - until now.

I’ve perused countless esoteric books and ancient documents that give tantalizing clues suggesting a large-sized planet exists within the far reaches of the solar system. To the ancient Sumerians, it was known as Nibiru (which means ‘Planet of crossing’), and Nibiru’s path is quite different from that shown in the above picture. Nibiru (or Planet X) has a highly irregular orbit that periodically returns; upon returning, it ‘crosses’ Earth’s orbit, causing havoc with our home world.

However, a significant amount of wisdom seemed to exist that the general public knew nothing about. Vital information was missing - an esoteric truth not yet known to the mainstream media. A hunch told me this could be found in a closely guarded document… but it remained hidden. A futile search ensued, and frustration mounted… then bingo, in an instant, that search ended.

Finally, thanks to Marshall Masters, I finally found a Planet X Rosetta Stone… the Holy Grail of all ancient manuscripts describing Planet X.

It is The Kolbrin Bible and it named it the DESTROYER, exactly the same name prophet Jeremiah spoke of, according to the New Century translation of the Old Testament!

Furthermore, the Kolbrin Bible delved into great detail to describe the Destroyer’s physical appearance -- vital pieces of the puzzle that Jeremiah left out.

Comprised of 11 books, the first 6 were written by Egyptian academics and scribes after the Exodus.

The five remaining books were penned by the Celtic priests of early Britain after the death of Jesus. The collected works were later moved to the Glastonbury Abbey where they remained until the twelfth century A.D.

Briefly mentioned in the introduction, this ancient manuscript apparently was kept under lock-and-key within private Masonic libraries after several prophecies came to pass, including the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of radical Islam. It was then revealed to the world in 1992.

If The Kolbrin Bible contains startling passages that describe the return of Planet X, the ‘elite’ would unquestionably want to keep this under wraps, whist at the same time start preparing - at whatever cost - to survive into another age.

If a group of people possessed an 800 year-old document stating without doubt that a catastrophe would occur upon the return of a celestial object, then they would have the luxury to carefully plan out their survival by secretly building facilities such as: underground bunkers, gigantic ocean-liners and future command-posts.

The general public has a right to be informed of this, as well as the manuscript’s terrifying secret, so this writer painstakingly researched every passage in the Kolbrin Bible that speaks of the Destroyer or refers to it.

This work will outline ‘the return’ of the Destroyer by arguing its cyclical nature.

To prove this crucial point this writer includes three epic sagas gleaned from the Kolbrin Bible, including:

The sinking of Atlantis (Egypt’s motherland)
The Deluge (Noah’s Flood), including a Celtic account of the Deluge
The Exodus (including the flight to freedom)

As you will discover later, the Destroyer directly caused or contributed to all three of these events.

The elite have taken The Kolbrin Bible’s warning very seriously. Profound wisdom speaks volumes within this manuscript.

Dateline: Fri., December 30, 1983. - Washington (TPS):

“A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to earth that it would be part of the solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope called the Infrared Astronomical Observatory … astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby “protostar”

Interesting how Dr. Neugebauer quickly doused the idea of a space threat by stating that the mystery space monster is “not incoming mail.”

However, The Kolbrin Bible clearly states that Earth has encountered a space monster in the ancient past and that it will again. These passages tell much about an epic planetary encounter.

But knowledge can fade over time, unless someone safeguards the written record. In The Kolbrin Bible’s case, Egyptian scribes had the foresight to preserve the written word.

Based on The Kolbrin Bible’s ‘Book of Creation’ it’s apparent that a wandering planet struck the original Earth with a glancing blow. This wandering planet, which the ancient Sumerians called Nibiru, initially came through our solar system between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars where the ‘first’ Earth once orbited.

This was an ocean planet known to the Sumerians as the god Tiamat.

The celestial event broke Tiamat apart, turning some of the pieces into the asteroid belt. However, a small portion of Tiamat remained intact and was hurled inward toward the sun, settling into a closer orbit. The unstable planetary mass of rock and water reestablished itself into a smaller ocean planet, becoming present day Earth.

Andy Lloyd, author of the Dark Star postulates the next Planet X/Nibiru fly-by will occur well beyond the orbit of Jupiter.

The interpretation, based on The Kolbrin Bible, indicates the next Planet X fly-by might be much closer to the sun.

With all that said, however, we seem to be dealing with two celestial unknowns.

This statement is partly based on a NASA diagram. The New Illustrated Science and Invention Encyclopedia, Vol. 18, page 2488 presents a very frank diagram showing TWO unknown objects.

What the reader might find most surprising is the ‘matter-of-fact’ presentation of the diagram itself. No mention of the ‘Dead Star’ or the ‘Tenth Planet’ is ever explained in the article.

Therefore, upon looking at this picture for the first time, one would automatically assume the Pioneer space probes were searching for two celestial objects. It is likely that the Dead Star shown in the diagram is our second sun (a Brown Dwarf named the Dark Star), and the Tenth Planet or Planet X (named the Destroyer).

Furthermore, Andy Lloyd agrees with this writer that Planet X (Nibiru) orbits the Dark Star itself, and based on this scenario, Nibiru - not the Dark Star - periodically swings through the solar system. However, research indicates the Dark Star can show herself to us in conjunction with Nibiru’s fly-by.

The late scientist, Carl Sagan speculated in his 1985 book Comet about our sun having a Dark Star or Dark Sister, and according to The Kolbrin Bible he may have been right.

Do these verses describe the Sun’s Dark Sister, as Carl Sagan suggested? Yes! And “Her Escorts” are planets or satellites that she has dominion over. Her outermost one could be instrumental in the fate of Mankind. Indeed, our Dark Sister’s largest escort is none-other-than Planet X as shown in the NASA diagram.

Another indication that we are dealing with two celestial objects is referenced in the Bible.

“And then a great wonder appeared in heaven: There was a woman who was clothed with the sun. She [Our Dark Sister] had a crown of 12 stars on her head. [12 escorts orbiting her celestial body]... There was a giant [celestial] RED DRAGON. - Revelations 12:1 - 9

This shows two distinct celestial objects: the woman and the dragon.

The celestial Red Dragon mentioned in the Book of Revelations is the Destroyer from The Kolbrin and a great example of its meandering snake-like tail is shown on this Mesopotamian Stele.

Furthermore the Sumerian tablet strongly suggests Planet X (the Destroyer) is very different, indeed, to our binary companion - Sagan’s Dark Sister.

The Kolbrin Bible devotes three chapters entirely to Jeremiah’s Destroyer so we know it was of great importance for the ancient Egyptian scribes to document it. The Destroyer produced awe inspiring ‘signs and wonders’ seen globally in the ancient skies at the time.

One would think that isolated communities surviving this terrible ordeal would want to somehow record an event of this magnitude - if anything, signal a warning to their future kin.

Their technology was utterly destroyed, so the only way they could do this would be to literally draw out a sign or ‘insignia’ of this event on the ground, using whatever means necessary at that time.

One such sign is the original ‘standing stone’ layout at Avebury, England.

Today, only one circle remains; however, the outer ‘rogue’ circle from the original layout has a snake-like tail streaming behind it. Another is the famous ‘Serpent Mound’ in the state of Ohio, originally surveyed in 1846. The coiled, snake-like body is attached to an elongated spheroid.

Perhaps these two ground-based layouts are the Destroyer accompanied with its meandering comet-like serpentine tail as described in The Kolbrin Bible.

Another great example of the Destroyer comes from Chinese mythology. The Chinese have an ancient tradition of a celestial dragon chasing a red pearl within the clouds above.

My investigation suggests that another name for Jeremiah’s Destroyer was Phaeton.

The ancient Greeks described Phaeton as a fiery body akin to the sun and was much more than a conventional comet. Plato first popularized Phaeton in his work entitled Timaeus 22a-23b.

Within it we read that Plato’s great-grandfather’s friend, Solon, spoke of an Egyptian priest that told him of Phaeton. Plato told the story of a great island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that Phaeton’s wrath forever submerged.

The Kolbrin Bible offers an excellent description of the city of Atlantis and its technology.

Theosophist Helena Blavatsky, a researcher of esoteric philosophy back in the 19th Century, wrote extensively on the lost continent of Atlantis and in 1882 one of her teachers contacted a fellow colleague of hers, Theosophist A.P. Sinnett, stressed that the last portion of Atlantis sunk in the year 9,565 BC, a very specific date indeed.

Then low-and-behold, in 1995 two researchers named D. S. Allan and J. B. Delair, who specialize in palaeo-geography and cartography, released a book called When the Earth Nearly Died - Compelling Evidence of a Catastrophic World Change 9,500 BC.

They concluded that a celestial body came into the solar system in our distant past causing havoc to Earth and dubbed this event “the Phaeton disaster.” The same term referenced by Plato himself!

Derived wholly from science Allan and Delair’s date of 9,500 BC was only 65 years away from the year given by the teacher of Theosophy more than a century earlier!

This is very strong supportive evidence for Blavatsky’s work to be sure, although Allan and Delair did stop short of saying that Phaeton was a cyclical planet-like object.

Phaeton is cyclical, and from her book The Secret Doctrine – Vol. 2 1888, Helena Blavatsky gives us clues that this unusual planetary body does return.

“... PHAETON, in his desire to learn the hidden truth, MADE THE SUN DEVIATE FROM ITS USUAL COURSE ...”

“….NATURE HAD BEEN ALTERED AT THE PERIOD OF THE UNIVERSAL DELUGE. ... In those days also, years before the great Deluge that CARRIED AWAY THE ATLANTEANS and changed the face of the whole earth - because “THE EARTH (ON ITS AXIS) BECAME INCLINED….”

“And now the natural question. Who could have informed [Enoch] of this powerful vision ... that THE EARTH COULD OCCASIONALLY INCLINE HER AXIS?”
Pages 533-535.

Was Blavatsky hinting that Phaeton can occasionally tilt the Earth’s axis causing great deluges? Yes!

One can interpret these passages to state that at least four Earth pole-shifts have occurred in mankind’s distant past with one causing Atlantis’ eventual demise.

Yes, it’s likely that Phaeton is in fact the Destroyer, our pole-shifting celestial intruder - cyclical in nature, brought on by the Dark Star, itself.

One important point that comes out of The Kolbrin Bible’s Deluge account is the fact that prior to the Flood steps were taken by Noah to preserve the wisdom and information of his ‘age.’

It seems the same sort of thing is being planned out today. As stated earlier, a clandestine group “in-the-know” is going to great lengths to preserve knowledge and information of our age and ensure it will continue on past the next visitation of the Destroyer.

Deeply rooted in ancient Celtic tradition and folklore, the Celtic Texts of the Coelbook (the last 5 books of The Kolbrin Bible) take on a mystical personality of their own, reminiscent of J. R. R. Tolkien.

It makes one wonder. Could Tolkien have had a copy of The Kolbrin Bible by his side when he wrote The Lord of the Rings trilogy?

This question is not far-fetched, because Tolkien wrote about middle-earth ‘ages.’ In the Celtic tradition, ages began and concluded when a mysterious object called the “Doomdragon” or “MoonChariot” appeared in the skies above.

We all know ‘the Passover’ is a feast of unleavened bread commemorating the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, right? Well, here’s another possibility.

According to The Kolbrin Bible, the Destroyer manifested itself above Egypt just prior to the Israelites flight to freedom. Therefore one could say the Destroyer literally ‘passed-over’ the slaves’ heads whilst they were fleeing across the Red Sea.

In his 1999 book Exodus to Arthur, Mike Ballie dates the Exodus at 1628 BC.

According to Ballie the narrowest tree-rings, ever recorded, commenced just after a cataclysmic volcanic explosion on the Mediterranean Island of Santorini, creating a huge dust cloud.

Ballie hints that there were TWO dust clouds happening at the same time. One from Santorini and the other from an incoming celestial body named Typhon, which possibly could have caused Santorini to blow in the first place.

Thus, based on the quote above, Typhon was the Destroyer of the Exodus. Yes; during its last fly-by, Typhon affected Earth by nudging it into a slightly larger orbit around the sun.

Not only does this verse support a pole shift, but affirms that “five days [were] now added to the year.” So, five days had to be added to the calendar! Could it be true that the ancient Egyptian year was only 360 days prior to the Destroyer’s last visitation during the Exodus? Yes!

An answer was given by Immanuel Velikovsky’s in 1950 in Worlds in Collision

Velikovsky goes on to say that the introduction of the five extra days was caused by an actual change in planetary movements implied in the Canopus Decree, for it refers to “the amendment of the faults of the heaven.”

So if the Egyptians had to add five days to their calendar year, did the Ancients on the other side of the world having to do the same? Yes!

Why did the Ancients regard these five extra days of the year as “sinister?”

Friar Diego de Landa recorded a sense of foreboding amongst the local people about the extra days. Perhaps the Mayans knew of an incoming celestial object that was responsible for nudging Earth outward into a larger orbit; therefore, they would naturally think a sinister force was involved with these five unlucky days. Was the incoming object their god, Quetzalcoatl -- the celestial plumed serpent?

In connection with this ‘sinister’ force, Typhon and Phaeton have also been linked to Satan or the Serpent - a physical “Beast,” observed in the heavens. My research has uncovered that the Beast had a celestial “Mark” associated with it.

This relationship comes partly from an ancient Chinese account from the Xia dynasty. From James Legge’s book The Sacred Books of China (1879), he cites an ancient story of a corrupt tyrant named King Chieh who just so happened to be the last King of the Xia Dynasty. King Chieh was defeated by King T’ang, and according to my research, the transition period could have included 1628 BC - the time Typhon (the celestial Beast) was seen overhead.

Is the Destroyer (Typhon) actually the celestial “Beast” in the phrase, “Mark of the Beast?” Yes, it’s the “old dragon” mentioned in Revelations!

At first glance, this may seem outlandish, but consider this quote in the foreword of an obscure book written in 1946 by Comyns Beaumont and published by Rider & Co., London. - The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain

“…the flood immortalizes the collision of a fallen planet, later termed Satan…”

Some ancient people have portrayed the Destroyer as being on God’s side (such as the message of Jeremiah and Moses), and others have portrayed it on Satan’s side (describing a monstrous object in the form of a serpent or a dragon).

When can we expect the Destroyer’s return? The Kolbrin gives us a tantalizing clue provided below:

This verse is fascinating, because the reader can calculate the time frame of the Destroyer’s unusual orbit. Two sets of numbers are evident.

The first calculation multiplies the “Great Year” of 52 years by 104. This equals 5,408 years. The second includes the “Summer half and a Winter half” aspect. With this added into the calculation, multiply 5,408 years by 2 halves, equalling 10,816 years.

As stated at the beginning of this work, for this writer, The Kolbrin Bible is the Rosetta Stone for Planet X. It provides solid historical correlations to the science facts being reported on the Internet today.

The ‘elite’ families of the world did not wait for the science. For countless generations they have passed down prescient historical wisdom contained in The Kolbrin Bible, and now they are acting upon it.

The Destroyer is not a typical, run-of-the-mill comet. It is a monstrous iron planet or brown dwarf with a tail that occasionally wanders through our solar system causing havoc in its wake.

It was known as:

‘Nibiru’ by the Sumerians
‘Destroyer’ by the Egyptians and Hebrews
‘Phaeton’ by the Greeks
‘Typhon’ by Pliny
‘Frightener’ by the Celts
… and in 2012 we shall know it as Planet X.

What if ...

What if We Replace Comet Elenin with by Brown Dwarf Star?
http://spaceobs.org/en/2011/06/03/what- ... own-dwarf/

What if we replace comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin) by brown dwarf with mass about 0.05 of Solar mass? This video demonstrate time interval from 2000 to 2020 years. As you can see, dramatic changes in the orbit of Saturn would have started 3 years ago. But at this time all planets are on it’s nominal orbits. I think myth about “brown dwarf instead comet Elenin” is debunked. You can see that by yourself.

THE HEBREW - CELTIC CONNECTION
http://www.1335.com/hebrew.html

In the eighth century, B.C., the Assyrian Empire was at its peak, and its armies threatened the nations on the eastern Mediterranean seaboard, including Israel. The Assyrians were a brutal, fearsome people, the most terrible, perhaps, in all the earth's history. Conquered lands were literally plundered of everything of value - even people, who were taken to slavery in foreign lands.

Inhabitants of Palestine in those days were well aware that Assyria would only too soon conduct a similar brutal warfare against the eastern shore of the Mediterranean. Would not large numbers of Israelites migrate westward by land and sea to find safety for themselves and their families outside of the Assyrian sphere of influence?

Historical evidence indicates that did indeed happen. More Israelites emigrated voluntarily out of Palestine than even the large numbers of those taken away in the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. As it became clear that invasion and conquest by Assyria was imminent, Hebrews and Phoenicians emigrated westward to distant lands by the many hundreds of thousands, forming the foundation of European civilization.

These historical facts have been known for centuries, and a plethora of books by leading historians has documented 'the Phoenician origin' of Western civilization. Historians have given the Phoenicians most of the credit for this emigration from Palestine to Europe, although the Hebrews were more numerous. Perhaps the answer to the confusion is that the Hebrew language is a Phoenician dialect, and the two are virtually identical. But as we will see, a great multitude of the 'Phoenician' speaking early European colonists can be shown to be Hebrew.

In the 18th century, historians discovered proof of Phoenician-Celtic ties. An ancient Roman dramatist, Titus Maccius Plautus (died 184 B.C.) wrote a play, the Penulus in which he placed then current Phoenician into the speech of one of his characters. In the 18th century, linguists noticed the great similarity between that Phoenician and the early Irish Celtic language.

In 1772, General Charles Vallancey, a leading Irish scholar of the day, published his famous work, Essay on the Antiquity of The Irish Language, Being a Collation of the Irish with the Punic (Hebrew) Language. In his opening remarks he states, 'On a collation of the Irish with the Celtic, Punic, Phoenician and Hebrew languages, the strongest affinity, (nay a perfect Identity in very many Words) will appear, it may therefore be deemed a Punic-Celtic compound.'

Since it is true that Hebrews and Phoenicians migrated to Europe in large numbers in ancient times, there must be religious and cultural ties, and in fact, such connections abound. Dr Thornas Moore's, History of Ireland (p. 40), relates:

'That most common of all Celtic monuments, the Cromlech is to be found not only in most parts of Europe, but also in Asia,' including Palestine. 'Not less ancient and general among the Celtic nations, was the circle of upright stones, with either an altar or tall pillar in the centre, and, like its prototype at Gilgal [ancient Israel], serving sometimes as a temple of worship, sometimes as a place of national council or inauguration

Dr Beauford, in Druidism Revived says, 'It is remarkable that all the ancient altars found in Ireland, and now distinguished by the name of Cromlechs or sloping stones, were originally called Bothal, or the House of God, and they seem to be of the same species as those mentioned in the Book of Genesis, called by the Hebrews, Bethel, which has the same signification as the Irish Bothal'. The Bible indicates that Hebrew kings were crowned either standing upon or next to a pillar of stone. 'The practice of seating the new king upon a stone, at his initiation, was the practice in many of the countries of Europe.

The division of time into a seven-day week was practiced by the Irish Celts, identical to the Hebrews. Dr Thomas Moore comments that no other nation kept such a hebdomadal (seven day) cycle 'excepting only among the family of Abraham,' (ibid., p. 54) a remarkable proof of identity between the two peoples!

Since early times, the Israelites sinned against God by adopting many of the pagan practices of their neighbours, and so we find evidence of both Hebrew and Canaanite culture among their descendants in Europe. (The Phoenician is the eastern branch of the Canaanite people.) The ancient Baal pillar shown at left is one of many such religious monuments which have been found from the Middle East to Ireland.

English historian, Williain Borlase, in his Antiquities Of Cornwall (1754) presented many pages of such evidence: Druids worshipped but one God and allowed no graven images, identical to the Hebrews, and in contradistinction with almost all other ancient religions.

Consecration was by sprinkling with blood, as in the Old Testament Hebrew worship. Druid priests were clothed in white, similar to the Hebrew priest's white ephod; sacrificial victims were bled to death, and the blood was collected in basins which served to sprinkle the altars; bulls were sacrificed, and the image of a bull (the heraldic sign of the Hebrew tribe of Ephraim) was carried into war. 'While they performed their horrid rites of human sacrifice, the drums and trumpets sounded without intermission, that the cries of the miserable victims might not be heard.' They prayed with uplifted, hands, examined entrails for necromancy, and held the oak in veneration. The Druids used the magic wand in imitation of Moses' rod, poured libations, sacrificed upon the tops of rocks, investigated truth by lots, anointed rock pillars with oil, and marked out boundaries with stones. In these and so many other distinctive ways, the religious customs of the Celts and Hebrews bear an unmistakable resemblance!

The early name of southwestern England was 'Dumnoni', or 'Danmoni', as shown by a portion of a map in Celtic scholar, Sir John Rhys' book, Early Celtic Britain. This comprises today the British counties of Cornwall and Devon. Highly respected historian William Camden remarked concerning Cornwall: 'That region which according to the geographers, is the first of all Britain, and was in ancient times inhabited by those Britains, whom Solinas called, Dunmonii, Ptolomy (called) Damnonii, or (as we find in some other copies).

More truly Danmonil was a name derived from the ever-continuing mines of tin in this tract, which the Britans call Moina.'(Britannia p. 183) This compound word is therefore composed of 'moina', a tin mine, and 'Dan', the people who mined the tin. So this most ancient region of England is properly called 'DANMONI', meaning, 'DAN'S TIN-MINES'. That these early inhabitants known as 'Dan' were in fact the Biblical tribe of the same name has been established by leading modern scholars such as Cyrus Gordon, as shown in our tract, Ancient Hebrew Sea Migrations. If these early colonists had actually been Phoenicians, the region would have been called, not Danmoni, but 'Fenimoni,' because the Phoenicians were known as the 'Punic'or 'Feni' civilization.

Celtic scholar, Sir John Rhys, gives strong evidences of Hebrew colonization of the British Isles in ancient times. 'lreland was known as IBERION,' he says. (p. 201). The ancient name of the Israelites was Ibri or Iberi (modern Hebrew), which is derived from the name, 'EBER', or 'HEBER', an ancestor and patriarch of that people. Sir John continues, '...in Ireland it was Ivernii in Ptolomy's time; and he mentions a town there called Ivernis, and a river Ivernios. To these may be added various forms of the name of the island such as Juvenal's luuerna, distorted more usually by the Romans into Hibernia. THEIR EPONYMOUS ANCESTOR ... is variously called EBER, Emer, and HEBER.' (ibid., p. 262-3)

Sir John discusses a region 'just in the vicinity of St David's or Mnyw, called in the Welsh Chronicle MONI IUDEORUM, which contains an allusion probably to the same people.' (ibid., p. 226) Sir John says that some scholars suggest this word, Iudeorurn or Judeorurn, may relate to the 'Jutes', a Germanic tribe in Northern Europe, but that he believes such a view incorrect. Instead, Sir John indicates that it identifies Hebrews of the tribe of Judah. Sir John adds, '... lastly we seem to have a trace of the same form in the Welsh Chronicle, sometimes called Annales Cambriae, when it calls Menevia or St. David's Moni Iudeorum.

One last fascinating connection with ancient Israel is suggested by Sir John, who says, 'the (Celtic) Kymry were for some time indifferently called Cambria or Cumbria, the Welsh word on which they are based being, as now written, Cymru and is there pronounced nearly as an Englishman would treat it if spelled Kumry or Kumri.' (p. 142). As students of Old Testament history well know, 'Kumri' or'Khumri' was the name of the Israelites in Assyrian texts. The virtual identity in spelling and sound between the Israelite 'Khumri', and the Celtic 'Kymry', is too much of a coincidence to not have a relationship. Taken with the rnany other evidences, religious and cultural, the connection between the ancient Hebrews and Celts is too strong to be ignored.

In fact, it is no longer a question of, 'Did Hebrews settle in Europe in ancient times?' but only a question of, 'How many of the people of Europe are of Hebrew descent?'

Irish history records three main waves of colonization to that isle in ancient times: the Firbolgs, of whom little is known, the Tuatha de Danaan (meaning 'Tribe of Dan', tuath means 'tribe'), and the Milesians. The latter two peoples are known to have originated in Asia and may have been related.

The Story of Ireland by A.M. Sullivan tells us this: 'The Milesian colony were an Eastern people. They had passed from land to land, from the shores of Asia across the wide expanse of southern Europe, bearing aloft through all their wanderings the Sacred Banner which symbolized to them at once their origin and their mission, the blessing and the promise given to their race. This celebrated standard, the "Sacred Banner of the Milesians," was a flag on which was represented a dead serpent and the rod of Moses...' (p. 12) The Milesians traced their ancestry to 'Gadelius', whose grandfather was 'the king of Scythia' (p.13) Interestingly, Gad was a son of the patriarch Jacob, and his descendants formed one of the tribes of Israel. The Greek word Scythia is derived from the Semitic, Skutha, and the Persian, Saca, which are terms for the Israelites. As if this wasn't enough coincidence, the serpent symbol was a family heraldic emblem of the Israelite tribe of Dan (Gen. 49:17), whose descendants have been traced by leading modern American archaeologist Cyrus Gordon, to the Tuatha de Danaan of early Ireland!

Therefore we can say that in all of these (and a multitude of other) ways, the Celts and Hebrews bear a remarkable relationship. Since the Celts were spread over most of Europe, the cultural, historical, and theological implications of this truth are immensely significant. Write us for other tracts and literature on this theme!

THE WORLD’S OLDEST & MOST SECRET SCIENCE REVEALED)
http://www.world-mysteries.com/newgw/pc ... aliths.htm

Long before the heavens were worshipped, the stars were studied. More precisely, astronomy predated religion. Hence, stellar science, not superstitious beliefs, formed the core of ancient civilization. Technically speaking, sun temples are solar observatories. Obelisks are sundials. Pyramids are star clocks. Stonehenge is a lunar/solar computer.

The relatively new science of Archaeoastronomy has shown megalithic structures to be astronomically oriented and connected. All archaeoastronomical sites are primitive yet precise celestial observatories. Even sacred sites like the Oracle at Delphi, the Vatican and the Kaaba are celestially linked. So why were the ancients so interested in stellar science?

Because it let them calculate the cosmos – establish natural order out of universal chaos. The earth could be measured and mapped (globe flattened via longitude & latitude) from the heavens. The seasons predicted (natural cycles timed), etc. Celestial science (measuring movements & angles of heavenly bodies) also enabled the ancients to build a global stellar navigation and universal time-keeping network – a global positioning system, or GPS (celestial bodies were natural satellites).

This was the secret science of Egyptian priests (passed down by the original architects of civilization). It was the lost treasure of the Templars (global navigators), the magical craft (sacred geometry) of Masonry and the mystery behind the Mayan cosmic calendar (galactic cycle) cult. This ancient science laid the foundation for a prehistoric global civilization – the fabled Atlantean Empire in all her glory, which later degenerated into a maritime monopoly of slavers & traders. (‘The sun never set on the British Isles’).

When this ancient kingdom of international commerce, colonial outposts and worldwide warfare finally disintegrated (due in part to natural cataclysms) widespread use of its technical knowledge also perished. Non-technical peoples symbolically adopted fragments of it into their own cultures. In short, the golden age was gone.
After the scientific basis was lost, stargazing took on a whole new meaning. Speculative arts and cosmic cults were born. Superstitious customs (religions) arose from the ashes of a dead/lost science. Resurrection replaced reincarnation. The first dark age entered the world.

In Egypt, the cult of Horus flourished. Dividing the times (divining the heavens – determining the seasons) for planting and harvesting, and scoping the horizon (zone of Horus) for time-keeping, developed into casting Horuscopes and making astrological charts (abominations that the elders of Israel committed). Horology is the science of time-keeping. Horticulture is the study of growing plants.

Astrotheology (masonic theology) came into being. The gospel story is really a celestial allegory – an astronomical tale. Is-Ra-El and Sol-Om-On are actually compound words (astrotheological designations). The twelve tribes of Israel, twelve disciples of Christ and twelve knights of the Round Table correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac (Ezekiel’s ‘wheel within a wheel’ was a zodiacal chart). Yes, it’s all astrotheology (cosmomythology).

Even astrology (from astro-logos – Word of God, Voice of the Heavens, Harmony of the Spheres) wraped into a mystical practice. Skywalkers (comets) became omens/portends. Originally, astrology was the study of celestial dynamics, of how cosmic phenomena affected/influenced terrestrial life.

Also relevant is the fact that women, not men, were the primary surveyors of the skies (calculators of astronomical data). History makers (patriarchal founders) converted female Chaldean astologers/astonomers into Babylonian wise men. According to the historian Pliny, mathematics (celestial calculations) was traditionally the business of women. The term mathesis meant “the learning” – literally, “mother wisdom.” The thirteen month (moon/lunar cycle) calendar was replaced by the twelve month solar calendar. The sun gods (Christ & Chrishna) came to rule the world.

Interestingly, two key religious icons bear uncanny resemblance to two celestial measuring devices. A Celtic cross is strikingly similar in appearance to a mariner’s astrolabe. A Christian cross looks remarkably like an ancient astronomer’s cross-staff. Is this simply a coincidence?

The Nephilim bloodline aka the “human/angelic” hybrid bloodline - aka “the dragon kings”, aka the “serpent bloodline” – do they secretly control the world?

Merovingians-The UNHOLY GRAIL
http://mysteryoftheinquity.wordpress.co ... oly-grail/

The race of beings from Atlantis, and even before, was the generator of many seedlines of which some exist even today. Then, we have the Q’ayin (Cain) seedline which originates from the union between Eve and Satan/Lucifer. Between these we have the TARES that the Bible speaks of. Cain was the original witch of these clans we have that call themselves priests, wiccans, pagans, and of course Druids. The traces of blood from these which started this millennia ago still exist within these factions because they inner-breed with one another to keep the power of their blood going.

From antiquity until recent days, we have those who claim to be descendants of Israel’s Tribe of Judah from which King David and Yeshua came. Currently the British House of Windsor and the Scottish House of Stuart (Spencer) claim their blood came from these royal Tribes. Both Houses of Royalty are places where the occult and Druid practices are held.

The Merovingian Bloodline held that their legitimacy falls on the marriage of the two royal bloodlines. When Spencer (Diana) married Prince Charles, it completed a Messianic Dynasty that has down thorough the ages been conceived to bring forth a King which will claim to be of Yeshua. The façade goes on to tell of a final One who will rule in the name of our Most High GOD. This line supposedly began with the marriage of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene and this unison brought forth a son called MEROVEE, a name also later given to the first Merovingian King (447-458).

But others tell of the birth of a daughter names Sara, while others call her Tamar. Tamar is an ultra-secretive society for those whose task it is to protect the Merovingian descendants. Mary was said to have been ‘spirited’ away to Egypt until Sara was born and then when Sara reached twelve they traveled to the Languedoc region of South France and lived among the clans which would later become known as the Cathars.

Others tell of Mary landing upon the marshy shorelines of Glastonbury England, where the very first Christian Church outside of the Holy Land was established and where Yeshua was said to have spent many years of His youth. These claims all derive from an underground stream of astrologers, kabbalists, necromancers, and alchemists, along with the elite family, and secret societies such as the Order of Druids, Guardians of the Grail, Priory of Sion, and the Illuminati. This knowledge is therefore said to have been passed down from generation to generation in secret until the time is right and the world at large is ready to receive it. These stories have been laid down in order to anchor the false history of this fictitious Royal lineage leading to Christ.

The Meroveus or Merovingian Bloodlines of ancient France whose bloodlines extend to Royal England and Scotland are claimed to have been spawned from a two fathers and one mother who swam out to sea whilst bearing child and came back impregnated with a reptilian sea beast child.

“Meroveus” derives from the French words “mer” meaning “sea” and “vere” meaning “werewolf” or “dragon.”

The book of Revelation informs us the dragon is “the Devil, and Satan”:

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels… And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” (Rev. 12:9)

The term “Merovingian” is said to derive from Merovee who was King of the Franks from 447-458 A.D. Despite recent claims that the Merovingian Franks were sired by Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, and are therefore “divine,” the legend of King Merovee conceals the true origins of the Merovingian race in remote antiquity. According to the legend, as explained in Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Merovee had two fathers, King Clodion and a strange “beast of the sea.”

“The Bistea Neptunis was worshipped in classical antiquity as the Roman god, Neptune, and as Poseidon in Greek mythology. Neptune was the mythological god of the sea who is said to have founded Atlantis, which is the pagan version of the pre-flood civilization which God judged in Genesis 7. Revelation 13:1, which identifies the Antichrist system as “the beast that rises out of the sea,” becomes crystal clear upon discovery that a demonic bloodline which exists today that was originally sired by a mysterious “sea beast”—the Bistea Neptunis.”

The demonic origins and history of the Merovingian Dynasty—also known as the Dragon Dynasty…The ancient people of the Tuatha De Danann…were the supernatural tribe of the pre-Achaean agricultural goddess Danae of Argos, or perhaps of the Aegean mother-goddess, Danu. But their true name rendered in its older form was Tuadhe d’Anu. As such, they were the people (or tribe) of Anu, the great sky god of the Anunnaki.”

“The Nephilim were banished to the center of the earth for disobeying God by mating with the daughters of men and teaching them the ‘forbidden’ arts. In this publication the Nephilim have been identified as the Fathers of the Merovingians.

“…the Merovingian race was sired by a water beast known as the Quinotaur. This Quinotaur took the form of a sea-bull. Crowley’s personal seal was of a sea goat. Grant, writing of Crowley’s Seal of the Beast, says: ‘The beast is the sea-goat or amphibious monster identical with Cthulhu, the Quinotaure or Bull of the Deep.’

With Merovingian claims of angelic ancestry it is hard not to call these races demonic. The Hebrew word nephiyl is properly translated fallen ones and refers to the offspring of fallen angels who mated with human women on Mount Hermon in the land of Canaan. Sodom and Gomorrah were Canaanite settlements that practiced cult prostitution in conjunction with their fertility rites. The Canaanite territory of northern Israel was later occupied by the tribe of Dan, whose worship of Baal/Pan involved such fertility rites at Mount Hermon, also called Mount Sion.

The Merovingians are the offspring of the tribe of Dan which intermarried with the Canaanite Tuatha De Danann, also known as the Dragon Lords of Anu because they were the offspring of the fallen angels (Anunnaki). The Tribe of Dann said to have “separated from Moses” may have been among the mixed multitude that left Egypt with the Israelites (Exodus 12:38) and “fell a lusting” in Numbers 11:4.

When God dispersed the northern tribes of Israel for their wickedness, the tribe of Dan migrated to Greece, and later to France and the British Isles where they established pagan priesthoods and royal dynasties of the demonic bloodline:

“The Tuatha De Danann (or Dragon Lords of Anu), before settling in Ireland from about 800 B.C., were the Black Sea princes of Scythia (now Ukraine). Like the original dynastic Pharaohs, they traced their descent from the great Pendragons of Mesopotamia; from them sprang the kingly lines of the Irish Bruithnigh and the Picts of Scotland’s Caledonia. In Wales they founded the Royal House of Gwynedd, while in Cornwall in the southwest of England, they were the sacred gentry known as Pict-Sidhe.

“So, from a single caste of the original Blood Royal – whether known as the Sangréal, the Albi-gens or the Ring Lords – we discover many of the descriptive terms which sit at the very heart of popular folklore. For here, in this one noble race, we have the ‘elves’, ‘fairies’ and ‘pixies’ – not beguiling little folk, but distinguished Kings and Queens of the Dragon succession.”

In ‘The Psalter of Cashel’ it states that: ‘The Tuatha de Danaan’ ruled in Ireland for about two centuries and were highly skilled in architecture and other arts from their long residence in Greece.’ The Tuatha de Danaan were the descendants of Danaus, the son of Belus, who went with his fifty daughters to Argos, the home of his ancestrous Io. In Irish legends the Tuatha de Danaan, who were considered to be demi-gods, were said to have possessed a… Grail-like vessel… These teachers of wisdom…were the founders of the Druidic priesthood.”

The progenitors of the Tuatha De Danaan, the Dragon Lords of Anu (Anunnaki) still communicate with mankind. However, since the arrival and ascendance of Christianity, they must now resort to various disguises to camouflage their true identity. Among their myriad guises are apparitions of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, gods and goddesses of ancient cultures, angels, dead saints or famous people, extraterrestrials — whatever life form is appropriate to obtain acceptance and a foothold in a given culture or subculture:

“Though communications between the space races and our own continued, they were severely curtailed and went underground… The DANAAN (a collective convention-name to avoid confusion), always jealous of their technology and secrets, were demonized by the various religions that guarded the traditions established by them long ago, since corrupted by man through ignorance.

“From active persecution by the Church of contactees between their race and ours in the Dark Ages, man progressed to the point that he dealt with the problem through ridicule or derision by Science instead, in time ascribing the space races to personifications of psychological projections (archetypes), bedtime fables, and sanitized surrogates such as fairies, the boogeyman and Santa Claus…

“When they interact with man, it is through their dreams and in riddles and a variety of identical gods in all cultures, seeming to prefer inspiring from behind the scenes to any kind of direct communication. When overt contact is necessary, they assume the guise of the Virgin Mary, the Corn Mother, angels, kachinas, or whatever is appropriate for that culture. There is a strong circumstantial evidence for this race’s continual intervention on a number of levels in man’s development from the crudely physical to the artistic, scientific and esoteric.

“They cover their tracks with hypnosis and probably drugs or some other high technology, to cloud the memories of their visitants. Their rituals and ways of life derive from a worship of the harmony of nature and the mastery of the mind of man over it.

There has never been a time in mans’ history that these people were absent, and nothing occurring in today’s UFO and abduction phenomena has not been recorded throughout. The only difference today is that there is much more evidence of the encounters and contact is becoming increasingly visible. The mythical record the world over speaks of is a Golden Age in which man and the gods (angels) freely and openly interacted, and all such records have prophesied that a time would come when a new Golden Age would occur, all former secrets being revealed.

Many of us wonder exactly what was it the Knights Templars had in their possession which brought them into such wealth and temporary prestige among both European monarchies and the Church. What did they learn during their crusade in Zion that inevitably endowed them with such power and authority that the ancient and modern successors mandate to this day? Some say the literal Holy Grail was the bones of the great Healer, Yeshua. However, some say it might have been the actual SanGraal documents themselves that held a tangible link supporting the existence of a secret Davidic Bloodline of Yeshua through which the future lineage claim and bestow. Still others think it may have been the Ark of the Covenant.

Whatever the case, from Druid groves to the Priory of Sion, a guardianship was born. A military order in servitude to the dark side, which involves arcane knowledge that forced them into exile is the basis for secret societies that silently guide man and Royal, gnostic and Christian alike along a winding path that ends with the prophecy of a beast taking flesh and becoming King of the world. Their religious preferences call to many about love and peace transcending many dimensions, but what it truly is, is a New Age Movement that was cultivated millenniums ago.

With certain guidance from ‘ascended spirit masters’ over a span of six millennia, ultra-secretive societies have their roles as protector to the ancient lineage, as “Guardians of the UNHOLY GRAIL.” This is what I call the whole agenda, for these masters spoken of are actually fallen angels and their descendants. They guide humanity towards an ending so horrific, yet predestined to engulf the world in a New World Order and One World Religion.

These advanced ancient civilizations spoken of have woven their blood into many races and cultures bringing us into a modern age of ‘New Nephilim’. With genetic manipulation an ongoing agenda, and the hint of hybrid mentality, they have ensued their technology to the point of a counterfeit Christ. This Merovingian lineage is one that’s been nurtured and coddled since ancient antiquity. The originator of this line is none other than Satan/Lucifer himself.

The current façade of the Throne of David is placed before us to challenge our discernment. The Golden Age of which these ‘ascended masters’ speak has been manipulated to look like it is a coming of the King, Yeshua in the flesh. These masters have kept a constant vigil with humanity to guide them into what we are experiencing right at this moment in time.

The Merovingian dynasty has held their blood to standards of that of precious gold protecting their heirs and ‘incarnations’. This coming One they like to think of as King will be none other than the AntiChrist. Yeshua was a Son of GOD. This monster coming will be a son of the one who thinks himself as a god.

Yeshua was one-half GOD, one-half human; this beast coming will be one-half beast, one-half man. Everything of GOD is counterfeited by these fools.

Ancient warnings and prophecies have told of this very presence upon Earth for thousands of years; yet few believed it would come into reality. The dynastic wedlock of many royal elements has taken place to bring the one to come into this very moment.

From King Arthur to Prince Charles Arthur of the European Houses of nobility, we have the offspring that will bring shocking revelation into this world, into our generation.

From the King of Babylon, Nimrod to the future King of the World who will think of himself as an Arthurian figure, an Aryan Superman who will bring into completion what Nimrod started. At a time of global destruction and war we have a unique ruler who will be charismatic and loved by the world and be accounted as a Savior.

When Queen Elizabeth dies, the Crown will skip one generation, evading Prince Charles Arthur George, and move directly to William (Arthur Phillip Louis), his son. It has been foretold on a documented account found in 1191, of a King Arthur, who once was and will be future King.

Given as many as 33 titles in the Old Testament and 13 in the New Testament, yet only twice being an “AntiChrist,” both times in the book of 1 John. Called a King in Revelation deems fitting to this prophecy for it is worded in such a way as stated before concerning King Arthur.

Possible evidence of the existence of Arthur, the legendary warrior king, has been found at Tintagel in Cornwall. A Cornish slate with sixth-century engravings was found in July on the eastern terraces of Tintagel on the edge of a cliff overlooking the place traditionally known as Merlin’s Cave. Although no one knows for sure, the real identity of King Arthur, he was most certainly a swordsman and carried standards in the form of dragons, just as his father, Uther Pendragon did. The emblem worn on their clothing was red cross, that which the Templars wore.

This all intertwines back to Satan and his Legion of Fallen Angels. I have previous studies which involved subjects such as an Emerald, the Stone of Heaven which Satan threw to earth upon being cast out of Heaven. The one that sticks out like a sore thumb is one called the Emerald Matrix and the All-Seeing Eye/it is an Emerald Obelisk with an All-Seeing Eye over it.

The early Church believed the AntiChrist was to be a person, the embodiment of human blasphemy and wickedness – a Roman Prince; indeed, almost all the early Christian literature of the Age of Persecution (33-312 A.D.) singled out the Antichrist as just such a prince.

The idea of AntiChrist as a Jew is the creation of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH and is traceable in its embryonic form to the Fifth Century A.D., and specifically to the writing of Jacob of Serug. As a mature hypothesis, this doctrine was fully developed and finalized by Thomas Acquinas and Albertus Magnus.

Some even theorize that the Antichrist will be a Pope, or the Papal System itself. But the Scripture specifically speaks of a person. Although the Papal System is corrupt and negligent of its people, and could be called a metaphoric King and an evil organization, it is not the actual AntiChrist. Even the book of Daniel says so in the 9th Chapter.

Daniel’s prophecy speaks of the two distinct destructions of Israel; the first by a Roman and his Roman army; and the later fulfillment in the end-times by the Antichrist, a European Prince that arises out of a nation formerly known as the ancient Roman Empire.

Interestingly, London itself was actually created and founded by the Romans around 30 AD, becoming a large industrial Roman port city linking London directly to Rome. Yet for decades, Biblical prophecy authors have written that the Antichrist must be a Roman, and arise out of Rome, from their linear understanding of Scripture.

A more careful look at those same prophecies clearly indicate that the coming Prince arises out of a nation (and city) that was part of the ancient Roman Empire, not Rome itself. The fact that London was actually created by Roman hands does lend an interesting connection; and in time London became the ‘New Rome,’ always gaining in strength since its inception. As Rome and the Roman Empire waned in power, England and its new capital city of London gained in power, prestige, and global influence. Today, we have a Prince and soon-to-be King about to arise from this ancient European nation whose power stretches across “many waters”.

Emerald Tablets of Thoth - Ancient Confirmation of Serpent Shapeshifters
http://www.reptilianagenda.com/hist/h100899a.shtml

Far in the past before Atlantis existed,
men there were who delved into darkness,
using dark magic, calling up beings
from the great deep below us.
Forth came they into this cycle.
Formless were they of another vibration,
existing unseen by the children of earth-men.
Only through blood could they have formed being.
Only through man could they live in the world.

In ages past were they conquered by Masters,
driven below to the place whence they came.
But some there were who remained,
hidden in spaces and planes unknown to man.
Lived they in Atlantis as shadows,
but at times they appeared among men.
Aye, when the blood was offered,
for they came they to dwell among men.

In the form of man they amongst us,
but only to sight were they as are men.
Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted
but appearing to man as men among men.
Crept they into the Councils,
taking forms that were like unto men.

Slaying by their arts
the chiefs of the kingdoms,
taking their form and ruling o'er man.
Only by magic could they be discovered.
Only by sound could their faces be seen.
Sought they from the Kingdom of shadows
to destroy man and rule in his place.

But, know ye, the Masters were mighty in magic,
able to lift the Veil from the face of the serpent,
able to send him back to his place.
Came they to man and taught him the secret,
the WORD that only a man can pronounce.
Swift then they lifted the Veil from the serpent
and cast him forth from the place among men.

Yet, beware, the serpent still liveth
in a place that is open at times to the world.
Unseen they walk among thee
in places where the rites have been said.
Again as time passes onward
shall they take the semblance of men.

The Murder of Reality: Hidden Symbolism of the Dragon
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/view ... page_id=12

This book has taken over 3000 years to write. This is the real story of the Serpent Race and their control over humanity.

A new major series of books, the Serpentigena describes how an Extraterrestrial Race have conquered planet earth and have ruled in man’s place for thousands of years.

In this fascinating study the author examines how the hidden priesthood encoded the serpent in the Bible and Koran using ‘polymorphic’ words, referred to by the Arab scholars as ‘Wujuh al-Qur’an’: ‘The Forgotten Recitation’- or ‘the Forgotten Koran.’

Pierre Sabak cites from more than twenty dictionaries and compares the same worded puns found in Greek, Latin, Chinese, Persian, Japanese, Hebrew, and Arabic, revealing a uniformity of belief evident in the Classical world.
He analyzes the Serpent’s clever manipulation of collective reality through the study of language and etymology and shows:

• Correlations between U.F.Os and Angels based on the study of Ancient Arabic and Aramaic.
• How an alien race seeded planet earth.
• Evidence showing that the Caucasian race originated from Mars.
• Conclusive proof that the White priesthood of Israel is linked to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.
• The Hidden Matriarchal priesthood: Information on how men are excluded from the highest forms of initiation permitted only to women, children and castrated Eunuchs.
• The purity of the angelic bloodline protected by the priestess.
• The Catholic Church and its collaboration with fallen angels.
• Child Sacrifice and the worship of Yahweh
• The illegitimacy of Abraham’s son Isaac.
• Incorrect translations of Hieroglyphs and the hidden connection between the Jewish and Egyptian priesthood.
• Relationships between the Islamic and Egyptian Mystery Schools.

The most Academic and Comprehensive book written on THE SERPENT RACE. Detailed information on the angelic lineage include: Serpents, Mal’akh, Host, Seirim, Seraphim, Akh Zari, Illuminati, Angels, Lilith, Samael, Goats, Satyr, Hairy Snakes, hairy angels, The grim Reaper, Smiling Angels Lucifer, Satan, Atlantis, the Builders, and the origins of the tribe of Israel.

In his amazing research, Pierre Sabak reveals in documented detail the Enslavement of humanity.

‘The predator stole the mind of man and replaced it with that of the snake, creating a domesticated animal- A stupendous and unbelievable maneuver of frightening simplicity, The Serpent is the greatest tactician known to man and is protected by the Brotherhood.’

Extract from the Murder of Reality -Traditions of the Kabbalah
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/arti ... ticle_id=3

… Appellation of ‘caba’, literally (messenger), is translated into Latin as the ‘angelus’ or ‘host’.

Semantically, the ‘caba’ interconnects with the ‘mystery’, and is derived from the Semitic verbal stem ‘qbl’ (to receive). Its root is from the Egyptian noun ‘qeb’ (a serpent), identified with the ‘fallen angel’…

Surreptitious, the ‘Kabbalah or Caballa’ (to receive) outlines the ‘hidden tradition of the Jews’ and originates from the Arabic transitive verb ‘khabba’ (to hide or conceal). The ‘Kabbalah’ in essence specifies a ‘secret oral tradition’ received from an ‘angelic source’…Its origins are correlated with the descending ‘host’ (the caba).

Evidence for this assertion is given in Exodus 24:15-17, quoted from the Gideon Bible:

‘When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from within the cloud. To the Israelites the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain’.

In the Hebrew text, Yahweh descends upon Mount Sinai in an object called ‘kabod’, interpreted misleadingly as (a consuming or devouring fire). ‘Kabod’ in Modern Hebrew is rendered as the adjective ‘kaved’ (heavy) or alternatively as the noun ‘koved’ (heaviness). ‘Kaved’ is deduced etymologically from ‘kavod’ (dignity), implicit of ‘divine ascendancy.

In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet described the ‘kabod’, quite literally as (a heavy thing), and recounts the object as ‘luminous and radiating’. Biblical scholars translate ‘kabod’ dubiously as (glory). Ezekiel likened the phenomena
to wheels within wheels and considered the ‘kabod’ as a source of ‘divine knowledge’.

Extract from the Murder of Reality - Hebrew deity Shaddai
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/arti ... ticle_id=4

In the book of Exodus, Yahweh leads the Hebrews into the wilderness as a pillar of cloud. His appearance is equated in spoken Semitic with ‘Shaddai’ translated as (Lord or God), reductive from ‘shed’ Hebrew (a goblin, ghost or ghoul). ‘Shed’ in the modern translation is simply rendered as (a devil). As a God of Death, ‘Shaddai’ is variegated from the Semitic stem ‘stn’ 'Shatan’ (an adversary or an opponent), militaristic of the host and dragon.

Corporal manifestation of the ‘demon’ (shed) is contrasted with ‘sid’ (a gentleman), registered with the ‘Sodalist’ [priesthood of Moses] aka the ‘Black’ Nobility (Saudi or Sauda). In the Egyptian mysteries, ‘shed’ (a demon) is evinced from ‘shedj’ (ritualized slaughter) and has connotations of ‘one who destroys or annihilates’. ‘Shaddai’s appellation the ‘God of Destruction’ is literally translated as (the Slaughterer). Celebrated as a fierce conqueror, a patron of war ‘Shed’ is prescriptive of killing and blood rituals, conceptual to salvation.

Apparition of the ‘shed’ is equivalent to the ‘reaper or reptile’ in proximity to ‘sade’ (a field), conjunct with ‘seder’ (an order) and ‘sidur’ (arrangement). The commandment ‘seder’ describes the ritual of (the first night of Passover), inaugurating the death of the firstborn, termed ‘sod’ (a secret). ‘Seder’ in Latin informs the stem ‘cida’ (a person or thing that kills), recorded in the noun ‘sadism’.

‘Shaddai’s [name] is translated into Medieval Latin as ‘entitas’ (an entity), derived from the Early Latin substantive ‘ens’ (an entity or being), manifested through ‘ens’ (a sword)… Etymologically ‘ens’ (an entity) is correlated with ‘esse’ the intransitive verb (to be) and fits with the Hebrew name of ‘Yahweh’, obtained from the Syrian verb ‘haya’ (to be), conversant with ‘haiya’ (a snake).

Symbolism of the Pyramids
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/arti ... ticle_id=9

The Greek word ‘puramid’ according to the Oxford English dictionary is of unknown etymology. On close inspection its root is derived from the Semitic compound ‘par-o-amud’ (pharaoh’s pillar). In Rabbinic tradition for example ‘amud’ (a pillar) is connected to the oral tradition ‘le’lamad’ (to-teach). Traditionally the pyramid indicates levels of initiation correlated with the holy city of Thebes and the propagation of the Royal heir. As a center of knowledge its priesthood preserved the pharaonic bloodline originating from the snake a fallen angel.
The pyramidal phallus is a symbol of fecundity and knowledge worn on the pharaoh’s loincloth (apron) to signify the Royal harem. In addition, the idea of Royal copulation equated with the pyramid is reaffirmed in the Arabic.

‘Harim’ is transliterated in English as ‘harem’, (a sanctuary or woman’s quarters) etymological to harm. The strict translation of the Arabic word ‘harim’ means (a prohibited place) and is from the verbal root ‘harama’ (prohibited), designated as ‘haram’ (a pyramid).

‘Haram’ (pyramid) also means ‘haram’ (unlawful) and is symmetrical in Hebrew to ‘herem’ (curse) connoting ‘ha-ramm’ (grief). The pyramids, according to cultic tradition, are said to be accursed and are linked to sexual indiscretion, attributed originally with Mount Hermon - its summit paired with the rebellion of the fallen angels, castigated through mortal intercourse. ‘Hermon’ details human angelic copulation, captured in the Semitic pun ‘hourmin’ (virgin sex), listed in Greek with ‘hormon’ (to impel), suggesting the ‘rapist’, defined as ‘ha’mon’ (the host).

‘Haram’ by definition indicates the ‘pyramid’ is not a tomb as advocated by the Egyptologists, but a monument to the fallen Shatani and to their leader Shemyaza (Azazel), who led the assault against Mount Hermon. Connection between ‘haram’ (pyramid) and ‘Hermon’ is reinforced by Shemyaza’s epithet. A deity his name is extracted from the verbal stem ‘sh’m’ (pillar or high) and is combined with the suffix ‘yaza’ derived from the Zend word ‘yazd’ or ‘yazata’ meaning (an angel or divine being). Sexual transgressions between the angels and mankind are matched with the destruction of the earth, accredited to the fallen progeny. This cataclysmic event is commemorated as the pyramid - a type of harem used to propagate the Royal bloodline.

The Serpent - the Source of Scriptural Knowledge
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/arti ... icle_id=19

Serpent – The modern etymology of ‘school’ and ‘office’ are derivations of the Greek words ‘skolex’ and ‘ophis’ (a worm and snake) classifications of a materialized angel paralleled to the adept and sacred knowledge. Theoretically an office worker denotes an attendant at a temple linked to the serpent and divine comprehension.

Connection between the ‘reptile and wisdom’ is conveyed furthermore in the Hellenistic languages. The Greek noun ‘skolex’ (worm) imbibes the Latin noun ‘scala’ (ladder) and ‘schola’ (a lecture, school, sect or followers) English ‘school and scholar’. Likewise in Greek the title ‘philosopher’ (a brother of wisdom) is a play on ‘philo-ophis’ (a brother of the serpent). In addition, the homonym ‘philo’ (a brother or to love) informs the word ‘philology’, defined as (the science of language, particularly historical or comparative). Traditionally the snake is a guardian or custodian of language.

Similar ideas are present in the Latin language ‘serpens’ (a serpent) contrasts with ‘sapiens’ (intelligent), congruent in Arabic with the verb ‘khafa’ (to know), cognizant with ‘af ’a’ (a viper). The snake’s juxtaposition with knowledge recounts the ‘fallen angels’ (the Shatani, otherwise Satan), classified as a ‘dragon’. Consistent in Arabic, the ‘Shatani’ parallels the adjective ‘sha’tir’ (wise), opposite the Latin feminine noun ‘scientia’ (knowledge or skill), transferred into English as ‘science’. Comparisons are evident also in the Roman language, the Latin word ‘genius’ Hebrew ‘geoni’ are definitions, explicit of the ‘djinn’ a type of fallen angel, embodied as the snake. Sacred knowledge of the sciences or arts is derived from the Shatani and is equated in the classical world with the ‘philosopher’ or ‘frater’.

Conceptually the reptile is defined as a linguist emphasized throughout Semitic discourse. The Hebrew noun ‘sefer’ (book) reproduces ‘seraph’ (a flaming angel or serpent) and ‘safa’ (language). Sefer in English is rendered as cipher. Derivations of the stem ‘sefer’ (book) include ‘sippur’ (a tale or story) and ‘lesapher’
the verbal stem (to tell). ‘Le’sapher’ informs the English transliteration ‘Lucifer’, archaic of an ‘angel’ or ‘dragon’, literally (a messenger of scriptural knowledge).

Identical cryptograms are reinforced in the Semitic; the noun ‘nahash or nakhash’ (a serpent) shares the additional meaning (to decipher). ‘Nahash’ unpointed written without the vowels as ‘nhsh’ indicates the verb (to deceive). The words ‘deceive’ and ‘decipher’ are from the same family of words, cognate with the ‘reptile’ and ‘language’.

The reptile is deemed as intelligent and cunning and is identified in the Semitic traditions with ‘ivrit’ (the Hebrew language) concordant in Arabic with ‘fritar’ (to deceive). Further ‘fritar’ informs the Arabic classification ‘ifrit’ (a malevolent jinn literally a deceiver). The ‘fritar’ linguistically discloses the Greek noun ‘feedhee’ pronounced ‘feethee’ (a snake) depicted esoterically as a talker, liar or cheat. The wordplays are paired in Latin with ‘frater’ (a brother) connoting a philosopher.

Symbology of the ‘snake’ (a fallen angel by implication a djinn or ifrit) is consistent with ‘ivrit’ (the Hebrew language) and is a definition approximate in the Greek to the philosopher (philo-ophis) relative to philology. ‘Hebrew semantics’ (ivrit) suggest the Judaic scriptures are by nature duplicitous, written in a coded form, commensurate to the ‘snake’ personified as the dragon or Lucifer.

Author’s Note

Philo-ophis (a brother of the serpent) is a cognate of the Arabic definition ‘akh’ (a brother) reproduced in the Babylonian language as ‘acan’ (a seraph). In addition the play is matched in the Latin with ‘frater’ (a brother) cryptic of the Arabic etymon ‘fritar’ (to deceive) connoting ‘ifrit’ (a type of jinn depicted as a reptile). Fritar is rendered in Greek as feedhee, pronounced feethee (a serpent) a name which is consistent with a liar or cheat.

Taliban and the Theban Priesthood
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/arti ... ticle_id=5

‘Ta’ban’ Arabic (a snake) pertains to the verb ‘taba’ (to print) or ‘tab’ (edition) equivalent in the Hebrew to ‘sefer’ (a book) and ‘seraph’ (a snake). ‘Tab’s stem conveys ‘tabi’ (a follower) and ‘tab’a’ (a partisan).

Etymologically the ‘snake’ is closely related to ‘talib or taliba’ (a student), cognizant originally with ‘Thebes’ - the old capital of Egypt, a religious place of study. Sacred knowledge of Thebes defines the oral tradition, committed into Hebrew writing as the ‘Talmud’ (instruction) from the compound ‘tillel’ (to cover) and ‘le’lamad’ (to-teach). The ‘student or learner’ is rendered in Hebrew as (the talmid), suggesting ‘veiled instruction’ symbolized as a pillar. In Rabbinic and Masonic tradition ‘amud’ (a pillar) is cryptic of ‘le’lamad’ (to-teach) English know-ledge. Traditionally the planes of the pyramid indicate levels of initiation correlated with the holy city of Thebes.

As a center of knowledge its priesthood guards the Royal court of the dragon a bloodline originating from the snake a fallen angel. Symbolism of the emissary is represented with the solar motif, the ‘cobra’ (Arabic tea’ban) nominal of the ‘Theban’. The ‘snake’ (ta’ban) designates ‘initiatory knowledge’ (taliban) relative to the ‘Theban priesthood’ and its ‘scriptural tradition’ (the Talmud - Instruction). ‘Theban’ denoting ‘ta’ban’ (a snake) is written in Latin as the homophone ‘anguigena’ (a Theban, literally the serpent race). Esoterically its priesthood is aligned to the star system ‘Alpha Draconis’ Arabic ‘Thuban’ and parallels the north shaft of the pyramid adjacent to the North Star. The Egyptians venerated at least four main stars clusters each specified with openings in the pyramid and are listed as followed:

1) Al Kalb (Alpha Canis Major / Sirius)
2) Pleiades?
3) Al Nitak (Zeta Orionis)
4) Thuban (Alpha Draconis)

The Dog Star Symbolism
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/arti ... icle_id=12

Written in Arabic as ‘Al Kalb’ (the dog) the appellation refers to the star Sirius (Canis Major) rising before the Morning Star, and thereby tricking canines into howling. In Old Semitic, ‘aur’ (light) is philologically branched with ‘eloh’ (light), rendered in the plural as the ‘Elohim’, translated in Judaic accounts as (the Gods) or (the Shining Ones). The name originally is equated with the dragon (angel) and deities originating from the ‘Dog Star’.

Relationship between the Dog Star and deity worship is found universally encoded in human language, in Modern Arabic for example ‘Allah’ (God) is comparable to ‘awr’ (bark) – English ‘God’ and ‘dog’. Quantifiable, the wordplay ‘God and dog’ is reciprocal in the Syriac Torah. The Hebrew name ‘Heylel’ (the Shining one) is reproduced as ‘H-eyel’ (the Howling one) names assigned to ‘Lucifer - Latin Lux-ferre’ (the light bringer). The Syrian name ‘Heylel’ is analogous in the Akkadian language to ‘hayya’ (a female serpent).

In the Arabian tradition the ‘djinn’ literally (spirit) is an animal said to change into a serpent or dog and is analogous in western literature to the vampire ‘Dracula’ a name derived from the etymology ‘drake’ (a dragon). Deities assigned to the Dog Star are evident in many tongues. For example, the equivalent play ‘God and dog’ is found in the Old Japanese honorific address ‘(O)-Kami’ (God) and ‘ookami’ (wolf). ‘Kami’ is cognate with the reptile ‘kamu’ (a tortoise or turtle) paired with the mammal ‘kami’ (hair). In Japan, the serpent deities, attributed to the ‘fallen angels’, are referred to as the ‘tengu’ (literally heaven’s dog).

Similar comparisons are evident in the Roman language. The appellation ‘Lato’ (Apollo) establishes a connection with ‘lator’ (a bringer, bearer, or proposer of a law). Importantly, the ‘light-bringer’ is a namesake, cognate with the transitive verb ‘latro’ (to bark or snarl). In addition, the stem ‘latr’ is used to denote ‘latro’(a mercenary, brigand or bandit) thematically a ‘reptile or rapist’. The Latin etymology is significant as it shows conclusively that the Roman God Apollo (Lato) is not a solar deity but is identified with the Dog Star.

Notes on the Nephilim
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/arti ... ticle_id=1

‘The Nephilim shall be called evil spirits, when they come to live on earth. Evil spirits shall exude from their flesh... because they were created from a mixture of mankind and the watchers, who fly above’.
Book of Enoch (88 BC-AD 154)

In the Hebrew tradition, Eve’s descendents are the ancestors of the ‘Nephilim’, a race translated from the verbal adjective ‘naful’ (to fall), i.e. the ‘Fallen Ones’. ‘Naful’ is transferred into Arabic as ‘hava’ (fallen), denoting the ‘serpent’ (af ’a). This spawn is ‘created from the sons of Gods and the daughters of men’. Clarification on the Nephilim’s ancestry is elaborated in the Biblical Book of Genesis 6:1-4, to quote:

‘When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose... The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also afterwards - when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown’.

Philologically the ‘naful’ denoting the (fallen) specify ‘nafil’ (a giant). In the book of Numbers 13:33, the ‘Nephilim’ Hebrew (Fallen) are called the ‘Child(ren) of Anak’, plural the ‘Anakim’. According to Signet Hebrew- English Dictionary by Dov Ben Abba, the word for ‘giant’ is (anak) and appears in the Modern Hebrew adjective as ‘anaki’ (gigantic). The use of ‘anaki’ is cryptic and proposes a child, whose origins are sourced from the stars.

‘Anaki’ is translated into Greek as ‘Titan’ (a giant) - a race conceived from heaven and earth. The word ‘anaki’ is used in Hebrew as a codeword identified with the Hebrew homonym ‘gibbor’ (giant) and possesses the additional meaning (Orion). Of particular relevance, the appellation ‘Gibbor’ (Giant) connotes the mythical race – the ‘Gibborim’ otherwise the ‘Anunnaki’ (Gigantic), esoteric of the ‘children of heaven’ e.g. Orion.

Classical accounts record the divine offspring of the Gibborim or Anunnaki as the demigod ‘Titan’ a race described cryptically as ‘gigantic’. Like its predecessor the Nephilim the progeny of the Titan originates from the children of Uranus (heaven) and Gaia (earth). Further the Titan is deemed as royal, an idea symmetrical with the offspring of ‘Anak’. The status ‘Anak(i)’ informs the Phoenician word ‘anak’ (a prince), transliterated into Greek as ‘anax’.

The Royal Cobra

Snakes and Ladders

The Greek noun for a ‘ladder’ is (klimax) a word also denoting ‘culmination’ (klimaxakos). In Mithraicism the ladder is divided into seven rungs of initiation traditionally identified with the seven planets of alchemy. The Greeks and Romans saw a philological connection between the ladder, the serpent (fallen angel) and initiation. For example the Hellenistic noun ‘skolex’ (worm) imbibes the Latin noun ‘scala’ (ladder) and ‘schola’ (a lecture, school, sect or followers).

In the Egyptian mystery schools the cobra’s midriff or ribcage is drawn as a ladder - a visual pun denoting ascension. The Arabic noun ‘sullam’ (a ladder) is a sign of the covenant ‘sallim’ (to submit). Theban scribes often combine the dual seraph with the ladder a motif worn by the pharaoh in conjunction with a triangular loincloth symbolic of a pyramid. The spitting cobra featured at the bottom of the loincloth is emblematic of sexual intercourse (ejaculation) equated with the serpent’s seed identified with the harem.

Serpent as Talker
http://www.pierresabak.com/newsite/arti ... icle_id=11

In Arabic, the sequence ‘akh’ (brother) recites ‘haka’ (the Syrian word to speak, talk or tell) connoting ‘acan’ (a flaming seraph). ‘Acan’ informs the Old English noun ‘hack’ (a serpent), adjoined with an ‘angel or messenger’ - Arabic ‘hakim’ (a ruler). To emphasize the snake a fallen angel is correlated with the monarch and ruler covert to initiatory knowledge.

The angel, snake or dragon, is represented as a ‘talker’, and in religious depictions is often grouped with a parrot denoting the faculty of speech. According to the shaman Credo Mutwa, the African deities the ‘Chitauri’ literally (Children of the serpent) are referred to as the ‘Talkers’. In Japan, the red serpent Gods the ‘tengu’ (a goblin or braggart), are likewise equated with ‘talking’. The epithet ‘tengu’ is a play on the Japanese noun ‘tango’ (word) and is an idea concurrent in the Semitic.

In apocryphal literature the ‘angel’ represented esoterically as a ‘dragon or king’ is identified with speech correlated with initiatory knowledge. For example, the Greek term ‘angelos’ (an angel) is translated from the Hebrew word ‘mal’akh’ (an angel), obtained from the verbal root ‘amar’ (to speak or command). Establishment of the ‘word’ (Hebrew amira) agrees with the Arabic verbal root ‘amara’ (a fleet), exhibited as the angelic ‘host’ (ha’mon).

Appearance of the snake, depicted as the angel, king or builder personifies the spoken ‘word’ (a construct or form), commensurate with the ‘multiple’. In the Greek language ‘phonein’ (speak) is cognate with ‘phane’ (a spirit) a derivation from the Egyptian root ‘fennu’ (a serpent). Philologically, the ‘double’ (an apparition) proceeds from the Semitic stem ‘debar’ (to talk), relative to ‘dabir’ (a sanctuary), nominal of ‘dabh’ (sacrifice). The word groupings are aligned in the Indo-European languages with the ‘devil’ classified as a talker conceptual to the ‘double’ or word.
