It was engendered by a desire to tear down a wonder beast depiction of Satan. Many of the comments were made by individuals, unknowingly, progressing the work of the devil’s ambassador, so, my Father deemed an explanation of how followers of Jesus should understand Satan, to be appropriate. <br /><br />—L Duffy 2022<br /><br /><br /><br />‘When looking at John’s work, one should bear in mind that his <br />nature was changed when he received the Morning Star, what some <br />of you call cloven tongues of fire, so he is no ordinary scholar: he was<br />one of the first Sons of the light, one of the first Sons of God: God is light. John writes as a man who was given divine nature, and it is that gift which transformed John into a Child of God.’<br /><br />—P Duffy 2020<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />One: A Satanic Kerfuffle<br /><br /><br />The Christian devil is a work of fiction. It has seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns; these characteristics are shared with the first beast encountered in Revelation, but that beast has ten crowns; one on each of its horns, so dragon and beast are similar in appearance.<br /><br />The seven heads on the dragon, and the seven heads on the beast, indicate seven kings. Five of the kings had been and gone, one existed when John was writing, and one was to come. King eight would be the beast that had been, was not, but would be again.<br /><br />Israel is the first head on the dragon and beast; Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome follow; after these come the image of the beast with the head wound, and Israel again.<br /><br />Should you want to identify the beast with the head wound, you can do so through Amos chapter nine. It is Israel, so Israel is the beast, and it is empowered by the dragon; the dragon was the first enemy of Jesus: the Jewish elite operating out of the temple, the people who had Jesus crucified. John uses the term beast to identify Israel, and he uses the term dragon to identify the Jewish elite of Judah.<br /><br />Another clue to the identity of the beast is given in the ten crowns. These crowns represent ten kings; each king represents a tribe of Israel which did not produce a king over a United Kingdom of Judah and Israel. Only two tribes produced a king over a United Kingdom of Judah and Israel: Benjamin and Judah.<br /><br />The beast is Israel. It is empowered by the dragon. John uses a seven headed dragon as his old serpent, called the devil, and Satan. For Isaiah, the serpent is Leviathan, the dragon in the sea; it is the last of God’s enemies to be dispatched.<br /><br />Leviathan, the piercing serpent, is derived from Yam, a tyrannical, tribute demanding, seven headed, sea power. It is not the serpent from the Adam and Eve story, and it is not a supernatural being.<br /><br />The dragon is the power behind the beast, Israel. John’s dragon represents the Jewish elite operating out of the temple. Its time in The Pit began with the destruction of the temple, and it returned from The Pit as Israel came back into being.<br /><br />John uses the term Satan to indicate that this enemy, that has spoken against the followers of Jesus at first, would speak against them again. John is talking about the Jewish elite; he is not talking about a supernatural being. The dragon is the power, money and influence, of the Jewish elite; Israel is the first beast encountered in Revelation.<br /><br />John’s message is veiled by bizarre imagery. The dragon is the first danger faced by Jesus and his followers, and John says the dragon cast a third of heaven’s stars to the Earth. John is not talking about stars in the sky; he is talking about the decimation of the original Christian community by the Jewish state, and the loss of about a third of the people who had received the Morning Star.<br /><br />Paul had been tasked with destroying the original followers of Jesus, and according to his own account, he undertook his commission with enthusiasm—what plans the dragon had for dealing with the followers of Jesus were disrupted by the destruction of the temple.<br /><br />John cast the Jewish elite, operating out of the temple, as the Christian devil, and he cast Israel as the beast, so he is saying that the world will be deceived by a Jewish elite and Israel. The third member of this unholy alliance is the false prophet, an agent of the dragon, who wants to make an image to the beast with the head wound: Israel.<br /><br />The false prophet, or second beast of Revelation, is a Jesus imitating, agent of the dragon. He can be identified by the tricks he employs and by his desire to build an image to the beast; an image to the beast would be an image to Israel. The false prophet’s greatest trick is to make fire (light) from heaven visible to men.<br /><br />These clues identified Paul. He talks of an Israel of God, which is the image to the beast, and he claims light from heaven shone on people with him. Nowhere in Paul’s writing, or the writing of his friend, Luke, is the Morning Star mentioned. They had no knowledge or experience of it; that is why the Morning Star is called cloven tongues of fire in Luke’s work.<br /><br />Paul is responsible for the Morning Star being associated with a supernatural being masquerading as an angel of light, but no such being exists; the Christian devil is Jewish power and influence.<br /><br />John prophesied that the image of the beast, that is an imitation Israel, would grow into a world power, the last world power to rule before the return of Israel. Paul’s false religion did become a world power; it still exerts influence on the world stage.<br /><br />These three entities deceive the world, so anyone who promotes, or supports, the Jewish elite, Israel, or Paul is doing the devil’s work.<br /><br />The harlot is associated with the beast and dragon; she sits upon the beast, and the beast is identified, through Amos, as Israel. Jerusalem is the harlot. Her merchants are the great men of the Earth, and it is by her sorceries that the nations were deceived. The seven mountains upon which she sits are as follows: Mount Gared, Mount Goath, Mount Acra, Mount Bezetha, Mount Moriah, Mount Ophel, and Mount Zion. <br /><br />So, you see, the harlot is Jerusalem, the beast is Israel, and the devil, Satan, is nothing more than a word puzzle. Now, I am sure many Christians will not want to accept that the devil is a word puzzle, but that is because they have been deceived.<br /><br />John gives clues to the identity of the beast and false prophet. Two obvious clues are the head wound, a reference to chapter nine of the book of Amos, and the number, 666, which, if you know how to count it, will give you the Greek letter I. That letter stands for Israel, a political beast (in Daniel’s sense), and the name of a man; and, of course, Israel is another name for Jacob.<br /><br />Clues to the identity of the false prophet are his desire to make an image to the beast, and his false miracle, that is trick, of making fire (light) from heaven visible to men. Paul encouraged his followers to see themselves as the Israel of God, and that is how the image of the beast came into being.<br /><br />All Christians should know that the light from heaven shines in the forehead, and it cannot shine on people. No one who follows Paul has encountered the light from heaven, so they deceive themselves when they claim to be in the light.<br /><br />There is no light in the churches of Paul. They do not understand this, and that is because they have been, and still are being, deceived. They inhabit darkness.<br /><br />To believe in a flesh and blood dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and supernatural powers is an error; it should be obvious that such an entity is a creature of imagination, a literary device. The real dragon is a conundrum, and the solution is: Israel, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, image of the beast, and, Israel again. Choosing fantasy over reality indicates psychosis, does it not?<br /><br />John uses riddles to convey his message. One riddle involves locusts, like horses ready for battle, with the power of scorpions; they have tails with stings similar to scorpions. This prophecy of locusts emerging from great smoke to stick poison into people, is more impressive than prophecy about the return and reunification of Judah and Israel, or prophecy about the rise of the pseudo Christian religion founded by Paul, as it contains information reminiscent of the industrial revolution, and the introduction of the practice of vaccination.<br /><br />A clue to the identity of the locusts is given in chapter nine of Revelation, and the clue is the locusts have faces of men and hair like women. Faces like men means beards, and hair like women means long hair. The clue is in allusion to Leviticus, chapter nineteen, verse twenty-seven, which says, Jewish men must not round the corners of their beards or heads—leading to the curls or ringlets (payot) worn by some Jewish men.<br /><br />For John, Israel and its merchants are the greatest threat to humanity. Israel is the beast of Christian prophecy, and its Jewish elite is the dragon, and Satan of Christian prophecy.",

"content": "Two: Three Trees (part one)<br /><br /><br />Three trees are mentioned in religion. Two of them appear in the Adam and Eve story, tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of life. The third tree, the World Tree, is the most important tree mentioned in religion.<br /><br />Fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is central to the garden in Eden story; it bestows wisdom upon the user. The fruit from this tree is opium, and the meaning of ‘good’ is good health, and the meaning of ‘evil’ is bad health. Opium was grown, used, and traded in Mesopotamia, Assyria, Egypt, Greece, and the Mediterranean area. <br /> <br />In 1903 Sir Arthur Evans found a ‘Minoan snake goddess’. On her headdress she wears an opium ‘apple’ that contains scratch marks associated with harvesting the drug. Sir Arthur believed his snake goddess was connected to Wadjet, an Egyptian snake goddess; her cult centre was in Buto (Tell el-Fara ‘in) in the North-Western Delta.<br /><br />Wadjet was one of the most powerful goddesses in Ancient Egypt—her propensity to spit fire, plus the wings she acquired from Nekhbet, allow Wadjet to be thought of as the proto-dragon. Her cult was established in Lower Egypt before unification; it was strong enough to negotiate with the ‘Followers of Horus’, and after unification, Wadjet was awarded the role of protecting goddess of Lower Egypt.<br /><br />The snake goddess, found by Sir Arthur Evans, demonstrates a connection between woman, serpent, and opium. Stories that record this association are found in Egyptian and Greek myth.<br /><br />An Egyptian story, recognised as involving opium, says Isis, the goddess, made an invisible serpent to attack the sun god, Re. After she obtained what she wanted, Isis cured the sun god. This story seems to be about addiction, so it is not a surprise to discover symptoms reported by the sun god, match withdrawal symptoms linked to opium use.<br /><br />Greek myth has it that, Ge, the first matriarch, gave ‘golden apples’ to Hera, the third matriarch, when she married Zeus—the impression is that in Greek tradition, opium seed pods are called ‘golden apples’. A ‘grandson’ of Ge, Ladon, a many headed serpent protected the golden apples in the garden of the Hesperides.<br /><br />Serpents with human attributes appear in many mythologies. For example, in Chinese tradition a dragon with a human face replaced the unusual bird that lived in the sun, and it was a dragon that gave a Chinese emperor the rudiments of writing. <br /><br />Hindu myth talks of nagas, creatures that are part human and part serpent. Iranian tradition says, that for a time, the serpent, Azi Dahaka, ruled their world, and from Mesopotamia comes the story of the dragon, Kur, the abductor of Ereskigal—a myth echoed in the Greek story of Persephone. <br /><br />These serpents, or dragons, were human beings politically active in the developing civilisations around four great rivers: Nile, Euphrates, Tigris, Indus. It is not my intention to attempt to identify Eden, the garden in Eden, or the four rivers of Eden, for it could be chance that allows the Bible story to reflect the area that saw the rise of several civilisations. <br /><br />The garden in Eden is an invention. It is an imaginary set for an impossible story, so no garden, no man of dust, no talking snake, and no foundation for Paul’s teaching.<br /><br />Identifying the ‘fruit’ of the tree is no great task. The ancient world was awash with opium, and there is evidence of Neanderthal use. Archeology says, the earliest evidence for modern human use comes from the Mediterranean area. Poppy seed capsules, dated to 4200 BC, were discovered In Spain.<br /> <br />The origin of the opium poppy is unknown, yet various locations have been put forward for consideration: Asia Minor, Northwestern Africa, Southern France, and Spain. However, the first reference to poppy cultivation comes from Lower Mesopotamia; Sumerians named it the joy plant (Hul Gil). Accepted theory says, Assyria received it from Sumer, and passed it to Egypt, where it was cultivated on a grand scale around Thebes. <br /><br />Opium medical uses are recorded in a papyrus dated to about 1550 BC. During part of the 18th dynasty, Egypt’s opium trade flourished, and its opium went in Minoan and Phoenician ships to Carthage, Greece, and Europe. The opium came neatly packaged in imitation opium capsules.<br /><br />On Crete, Rhea, the second great matriarch, and mother of Zeus, is represented with opium poppies on her head, so concluding opium is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is not a giant step. However, identifying the serpentine creature that furnished the Jewish model of the serpent in the garden in Eden, is not so straightforward; for a start, serpentine creatures feature in Sumerian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Norse, and other mythologies. <br /><br />The great ‘serpents’ of antiquity are known by name. The serpent in the Jewish garden of Eden story is unnamed. Eden is a Sumerian term; it means something like ‘flat land’. Sumerian myth places Eden between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia. <br /><br />According to Sumerian myth, gods created the first man in Eden. He was a mixture of clay and blood; it is sometimes said, that the blood was Kingu’s. He was the unsuccessful leader of Tiamat’s forces, in the war between the old gods and the new gods; Assur, or Marduk, represents the new gods; the great she dragon, Tiamat, represents the old gods.<br /><br />The Jewish creation story was written in the 10th century BC. It was intended to show that the Hebrew people were the oldest of all people, and this was accomplished by claiming the Hebrew people descended from the man created in the garden. <br /><br />Kur, a Sumerian dragon, can be understood as a serpent, and as an equivalent of Hades, from Greek myth, and it could be that stories about goddesses being taken to Kur, or Hades, and having to spend time there, after eating a single seed of the ‘sacred pomegranate’, contain information relevant to opium addiction, as serpent and opium are linked.<br /><br />The Yahwist creation of man story is based on the Sumerian creation of man story, but neither story is plausible. There never was a garden in which a man was created out of dust, or out of clay and blood: such things are impossible.<br /><br />Eve’s serpent represents an opium using cult, or religion, that offered intellectual enhancement through the use of that substance. It does not represent a particular serpentine entity, or a supernatural entity.<br /><br />Egyptian myth features the most influential serpents of antiquity. They play important roles in Egyptian tradition; one serpent, Atum, is credited with creating everything. Heliopolitan tradition says that this serpent will assume his original serpent form after destroying his creation, so it seems serpent religion could compete with other religion.<br /><br />Something of this competition, or conflict, is recognisable in the story of the invisible serpent made by Isis to facilitate her subjugation of the sun god, Re. The impression gained is of an opium using religion threatening the established religion, and much the same can be said of the unnamed serpent’s religion offered to the impossible woman in the Jewish creation story.<br /><br />As there is no real garden of Eden, and no man made of dust, or woman made from his rib, and no talking serpent, where did the opium promoting religion originate?<br /><br />A clue might be available via the war between the new gods and the great she dragon, Tiamat. The new gods represent the emerging powers of Assyria and Babylon, now before the rise of these political powers, the important actors on the ‘world stage’ were Akkad and Egypt. Their dominance ended around 2134 BC, with the collapse of the Akkadian empire, and the Old Kingdom in Egypt. <br /><br />In terms of political power, Egypt was the big serpent in the area before the collapse of the Old Kingdom, and by the time Israel supposedly departed Egypt, Egyptian opium had been exported to many different countries, so it seems likely Israel’s prohibition of its use is a reaction to its use in Egypt.<br /><br />One thing is certain, no man of dust, or woman made of rib, encountered an opium dealing serpent in a non-existent garden, on smooth ground, between the Tigris and Euphrates.",

Stories that record this association are found in Egyptian and Greek myth.\n\nAn Egyptian story, recognised as involving opium, says Isis, the goddess, made an invisible serpent to attack the sun god, Re. After she obtained what she wanted, Isis cured the sun god. This story seems to be about addiction, so it is not a surprise to discover symptoms reported by the sun god, match withdrawal symptoms linked to opium use.\n\nGreek myth has it that, Ge, the first matriarch, gave ‘golden apples’ to Hera, the third matriarch, when she married Zeus—the impression is that in Greek tradition, opium seed pods are called ‘golden apples’. A ‘grandson’ of Ge, Ladon, a many headed serpent protected the golden apples in the garden of the Hesperides.\n\nSerpents with human attributes appear in many mythologies. For example, in Chinese tradition a dragon with a human face replaced the unusual bird that lived in the sun, and it was a dragon that gave a Chinese emperor the rudiments of writing. \n\nHindu myth talks of nagas, creatures that are part human and part serpent. Iranian tradition says, that for a time, the serpent, Azi Dahaka, ruled their world, and from Mesopotamia comes the story of the dragon, Kur, the abductor of Ereskigal—a myth echoed in the Greek story of Persephone. \n\nThese serpents, or dragons, were human beings politically active in the developing civilisations around four great rivers: Nile, Euphrates, Tigris, Indus. It is not my intention to attempt to identify Eden, the garden in Eden, or the four rivers of Eden, for it could be chance that allows the Bible story to reflect the area that saw the rise of several civilisations. \n\nThe garden in Eden is an invention. It is an imaginary set for an impossible story, so no garden, no man of dust, no talking snake, and no foundation for Paul’s teaching.\n\nIdentifying the ‘fruit’ of the tree is no great task. The ancient world was awash with opium, and there is evidence of Neanderthal use. Archeology says, the earliest evidence for modern human use comes from the Mediterranean area. Poppy seed capsules, dated to 4200 BC, were discovered In Spain.\n \nThe origin of the opium poppy is unknown, yet various locations have been put forward for consideration: Asia Minor, Northwestern Africa, Southern France, and Spain. However, the first reference to poppy cultivation comes from Lower Mesopotamia; Sumerians named it the joy plant (Hul Gil). Accepted theory says, Assyria received it from Sumer, and passed it to Egypt, where it was cultivated on a grand scale around Thebes. \n\nOpium medical uses are recorded in a papyrus dated to about 1550 BC. During part of the 18th dynasty, Egypt’s opium trade flourished, and its opium went in Minoan and Phoenician ships to Carthage, Greece, and Europe. The opium came neatly packaged in imitation opium capsules.\n\nOn Crete, Rhea, the second great matriarch, and mother of Zeus, is represented with opium poppies on her head, so concluding opium is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is not a giant step. However, identifying the serpentine creature that furnished the Jewish model of the serpent in the garden in Eden, is not so straightforward; for a start, serpentine creatures feature in Sumerian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Norse, and other mythologies. \n\nThe great ‘serpents’ of antiquity are known by name. The serpent in the Jewish garden of Eden story is unnamed. Eden is a Sumerian term; it means something like ‘flat land’. Sumerian myth places Eden between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia. \n\nAccording to Sumerian myth, gods created the first man in Eden. He was a mixture of clay and blood; it is sometimes said, that the blood was Kingu’s. He was the unsuccessful leader of Tiamat’s forces, in the war between the old gods and the new gods; Assur, or Marduk, represents the new gods; the great she dragon, Tiamat, represents the old gods.\n\nThe Jewish creation story was written in the 10th century BC. It was intended to show that the Hebrew people were the oldest of all people, and this was accomplished by claiming the Hebrew people descended from the man created in the garden. \n\nKur, a Sumerian dragon, can be understood as a serpent, and as an equivalent of Hades, from Greek myth, and it could be that stories about goddesses being taken to Kur, or Hades, and having to spend time there, after eating a single seed of the ‘sacred pomegranate’, contain information relevant to opium addiction, as serpent and opium are linked.\n\nThe Yahwist creation of man story is based on the Sumerian creation of man story, but neither story is plausible. There never was a garden in which a man was created out of dust, or out of clay and blood: such things are impossible.\n\nEve’s serpent represents an opium using cult, or religion, that offered intellectual enhancement through the use of that substance. It does not represent a particular serpentine entity, or a supernatural entity.\n\nEgyptian myth features the most influential serpents of antiquity. They play important roles in Egyptian tradition; one serpent, Atum, is credited with creating everything. Heliopolitan tradition says that this serpent will assume his original serpent form after destroying his creation, so it seems serpent religion could compete with other religion.\n\nSomething of this competition, or conflict, is recognisable in the story of the invisible serpent made by Isis to facilitate her subjugation of the sun god, Re. The impression gained is of an opium using religion threatening the established religion, and much the same can be said of the unnamed serpent’s religion offered to the impossible woman in the Jewish creation story.\n\nAs there is no real garden of Eden, and no man made of dust, or woman made from his rib, and no talking serpent, where did the opium promoting religion originate?\n\nA clue might be available via the war between the new gods and the great she dragon, Tiamat. The new gods represent the emerging powers of Assyria and Babylon, now before the rise of these political powers, the important actors on the ‘world stage’ were Akkad and Egypt. Their dominance ended around 2134 BC, with the collapse of the Akkadian empire, and the Old Kingdom in Egypt. \n\nIn terms of political power, Egypt was the big serpent in the area before the collapse of the Old Kingdom, and by the time Israel supposedly departed Egypt, Egyptian opium had been exported to many different countries, so it seems likely Israel’s prohibition of its use is a reaction to its use in Egypt.\n\nOne thing is certain, no man of dust, or woman made of rib, encountered an opium dealing serpent in a non-existent garden, on smooth ground, between the Tigris and Euphrates.",

"content": "Four: Three Trees (part three)<br /><br /><br />The religion Jesus bequeathed humanity is founded upon two paranormal events; the first event involved the Spirit like a dove, and the second event involved the Morning Star (cloven tongues of fire). These two events were separated by several years; one took place while Jesus was alive, and one took place after Jesus had died. Tree number three has the same nature as these two paranormal events: it is a paranormal event. <br /><br />Neither the Spirit like a dove nor the Morning Star event appear in the religion of Israel, but both events are alluded to in Egyptian religious tradition, and the phenomenon that gave rise to the World Tree concept is also depicted in Egyptian religious tradition. <br /><br />Presently, a World Tree symbol stands unrecognised amongst a number of graphic signs, that were used across Europe between 40,000 BC—10,000 BC. A similar symbol was used, in a physical sense, by Neanderthals living in southwestern France about 176,000 years ago. There, in a cave, Neanderthals constructed a circle out of 4000 pounds of deliberately broken stalagmite tips, and, then, set fire to it; ritual activity is suspected.<br /><br />Archeology at Kostenki, south of Moscow, uncovered a massive circle made of mammoth bones. The circle, which is about 22,500 years old, may have served as a structure for ritual performance; fire was used inside the ring. ‘Venus’ figurines found at Kostenki link to similar figurines found in Willendorf, near Kreme, in Lower Austria, which date to about 30,000 years ago. <br /><br />The feature under consideration is a circle. It is a feature which was of interest to modern humans and Neanderthals, and it is a feature that has been linked with fire for more than 176,000 years. <br /><br />The Venus of Willendorf is younger than the circle constructed by French Neanderthals, but older than the circle uncovered in Russia. The Venus is also connected to circles; she has concentric circles on her head—they have the appearance of flames, so it could represent a conflation of circle and flame. <br /> <br />Circles of fire on the head of the Venus identify her as the sun goddess; perhaps Saule (the sun). A similar arrangement is seen in Egyptian tradition, where the sun god Re is protected by nine concentric rings of fire, but through conflation, the concentric circles are depicted as a serpent, and given the name, Mehen. <br /><br />Concentric circle structures are found in Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere in Europe. Their connection to solar religion is recognised by Archaeology, but the meaning of the concentric circle structures is still a mystery to that discipline. <br /><br />A more informative variation of the circle theme is seen in Hindu myth. In that system, the circle of interest is made from the sun, its energy, or its rays, and it is essential for the maintenance of order in the universe. It is Sudarshana Chakra, ‘Auspicious Vision’, the spiritual weapon of Vishnu. <br /><br />A paranormal event is indicated: a vision of a circle associated with the sun. It is a vision which may have been known to Neanderthals; it was known to modern humans in Ice Age Europe, and it is alluded to in ancient Egyptian religious tradition. It seems to be the oldest ‘religious’ vision known to humanity. <br /><br />The European sun goddess, and the Egyptian sun god, were a byproduct of the circle vision. The paranormal event that engendered these solar deity concepts, drew attention to the sun, and generated a pathway to truth about it. <br /><br />Mythology records a circle made from the sun. This circle is extraordinarily important, for without it the world would descend into chaos; it exists to protect humanity.<br /><br />Jesus saw the heavens open and a Spirit like a dove descend upon him. Non-Christian sightings of this spirit report a ‘bird’ in constant flight, so there may be particular significance to its descent upon Jesus; this event announced the unification of Father and Son.<br /><br />No gospel is completely trustworthy. John’s gospel is the most informative about the paranormal role played by Jesus, but it contains erroneous information: it has more than one ending, and its report of the Spirit like a dove event is misleading, for only Jesus would have seen that Spirit; it is, like the Morning Star event, private. <br /><br />The appearance of the Spirit like a dove is best understood via non-Christian sources. It is a circle with one pair of wings. In Egyptian tradition the sun has been introduced into the circle, and in Mesopotamian tradition the winged-circle sometimes contains a god, but no sun; a conflation of winged-circle and sun has occurred where the winged-circle is shown as a winged-sun. <br /><br />‘Religion’ features three paranormal circle events, but only one event features the sun. The sun does not feature in the bird of heaven vision, and it does not feature in the Morning Star event—the Morning Star is a five pointed star with a circle at its centre.<br /><br />Paranormal events associated with Jesus and his apostles are reflected in Egyptian tradition. In that tradition, Pharaoh was the living Horus (bird of heaven, Spirit like a dove) and he expected to join, or become, the Morning Star when he died. Just as Christians expect to join Jesus when they die.<br /><br />Christian tradition speaks of two nature changing events: a Spirit like a dove event, and a Morning Star event. These events involve sight, but not ordinary sight. It is paranormal sight. <br /><br />Jesus can be understood as a recipient of the supernatural weapon, or disc, which exists to protect humanity from chaos. From beyond the grave Jesus gave his apostles the Morning Star, and in Revelation, John has Jesus identify himself as the Morning Star; the Morning Star has five ‘tongues’ arranged around a circle. <br /><br />The World Tree deserves its name even though it is not a tree. Latvian tradition says, Saule hangs her cloak on the World Tree every evening at sunset; Siberian tradition says, the World Tree is composed of several worlds on top of each other, and that shamans travel between the worlds by climbing the Tree; Magyar tribes called it ‘the sky-high tree’ or ‘tree without a top’, and their shamans climbed it to explore the seven supernatural layers of the sky; Hindu tradition says, the World Tree is a vision: the highest vision of absolute reality.<br /><br />Paranormal activity produced the World Tree. Evidence of the phenomena is captured in Egyptian tradition, and in European tradition. In Egypt the ‘vision’ is depicted as Mehen, and in Europe it is depicted on the head of the Willendorf Venus, so what does it look like?<br /><br />Picture a tube of concentric circles, now place the sun in the highest circle, and place yourself in the lowest circle, then look up at the sun through the tube of ‘tree rings’. That is the vision of the World Tree, and it points to the existence of that intelligence humanity has called God. <br /><br />Circles have been part of our religion for a very long time, and seen from this perspective the religion Jesus has bequeathed humanity was a long time in the making.",

From beyond the grave Jesus gave his apostles the Morning Star, and in Revelation, John has Jesus identify himself as the Morning Star; the Morning Star has five ‘tongues’ arranged around a circle. \n\nThe World Tree deserves its name even though it is not a tree. Latvian tradition says, Saule hangs her cloak on the World Tree every evening at sunset; Siberian tradition says, the World Tree is composed of several worlds on top of each other, and that shamans travel between the worlds by climbing the Tree; Magyar tribes called it ‘the sky-high tree’ or ‘tree without a top’, and their shamans climbed it to explore the seven supernatural layers of the sky; Hindu tradition says, the World Tree is a vision: the highest vision of absolute reality.\n\nParanormal activity produced the World Tree. Evidence of the phenomena is captured in Egyptian tradition, and in European tradition. In Egypt the ‘vision’ is depicted as Mehen, and in Europe it is depicted on the head of the Willendorf Venus, so what does it look like?\n\nPicture a tube of concentric circles, now place the sun in the highest circle, and place yourself in the lowest circle, then look up at the sun through the tube of ‘tree rings’. That is the vision of the World Tree, and it points to the existence of that intelligence humanity has called God. \n\nCircles have been part of our religion for a very long time, and seen from this perspective the religion Jesus has bequeathed humanity was a long time in the making.",

"content": "Six: The Message <br /><br /><br />It is impossible to misunderstand the clues to the identity of the dragon, beast, and false prophet. Anyone interested in these matters should embrace that fact and they will not go wrong; there is no wriggle-room: the head wound identifies Israel as the beast and eighth head on the dragon, so it follows that Jerusalem is the harlot that sits on the beast. Paul’s claim that light from heaven shone round about him, and the people with him on the road to Damascus, identifies him as the false prophet. <br /><br />The Bible message to Israel is do right and be rewarded, or do wrong and be punished. Most of the prophets chastise Israel and Judah for their bad behaviour, and they accuse kings, priests, prophets, and merchants of dishonesty; the prophets declared the Assyrian conquest of Israel, and the Babylonian conquest of Judah, punishment for the dishonest behaviour of both kingdoms. <br /><br />With the conquest of Israel and Judah came the prophecy of their return and reunification. The scenario was that after being punished, the children of Israel would return to the land, and would never again be removed from it. John’s prophecy of the beast that was, was not, but would be again, is based on the prophecy of the return, and the most telling clue to the identity of the beast is found in Amos, chapter nine. <br /><br />In Revelation John identifies the Jewish elite by using the colour red. This clue is based on Lamentations 4:5: ‘They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dung hills.’ The Jewish elite is indicated through the red dragon and red horse of Revelation.<br /><br />Conflict between two ‘Christian’ groups is reflected in the gospels and letters of those involved. One group consisted of the original Jerusalem church and the gentile church engendered by Peter, and the other group was founded by Paul. The gospels and letters are weapons in a ‘war’ between these two groups; one group had the religion of Jesus, and the other group had Paul’s construct.<br /><br />The difference between these groups can be seen in the way the leaders speak about each other. In Galatians, Paul claims his gospel is for the Uncircumcision, and that the gospel of the Jerusalem church is for the Circumcision; in other words, his gospel is for the wider world, while the gospel of Peter is only for the Jews. Paul also boasts about his aggressive behaviour towards Peter at Antioch. However, the language attributed to Peter, in Second Peter, when he warns Christians against private interpretations of scripture, is polite, even though his warning highlights the gospel of Paul negatively. <br /><br />Peter says the gospel of Paul is difficult to understand. Paul says only the lost will not understand his gospel. However, the truth is, Paul’s gospel is impossible; it begins with a man of dust. Science has established there never was a man of dust, so either the world is lost, or Paul’s gospel is wrong. Christians cannot have it both ways.<br /><br />John and Peter talk about a paranormal star event. Peter talks of the day star. John talks of the Morning Star. John says more than the other apostles do about the paranormal content of their religion, and what is important about it is contained in his message to the seven churches in Asia. Towards the end of each section, John alludes to a paranormal experience known to those churches. He describes it as food from the tree of life, a crown of life, hidden manna, white clothing, a white stone bearing a new name, known only to the individual that receives it, the name of New Jerusalem, the city that comes down from heaven, the name of God, the new name of Jesus, and the Morning Star. <br /><br />Most of John’s description concerns white light. It is a white light that resembles a crown, or line drawing of a star with several points. It would appear in the forehead. Only the individual involved would experience the phenomenon; the phenomenon could not be mistaken for anything natural. John alludes to the experience in his first epistle: ‘But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you’ (2:27).<br /><br />New Jerusalem is the camp of the saints. It is the city that comes down from heaven; it is the ‘beloved city’. This Jerusalem, not the physical one, is the city threatened in the battle of Gog and Magog. Citizens of this ‘city’ experience a lack of forehead; it is as though the forehead has been replaced with clear glass, crystal, or water. This is an earthly experience not available to murderers, whoremongers, liars, etc.<br /><br />The Morning Star is Jesus. It is different to the white crown, or white star, phenomenon. It has colour. Paul’s false, impossible, and evil gospel turned the paranormal stars of Christianity into icons of evil. John says the Morning Star will be given to one that overcomes and remains faithful to the end, but this does not mean the one with the Morning Star will smite the nations after he dies. It is the ‘wicked one’ that has to be overcome, and that must be done on Earth. Israel is head one and head eight on the seven headed dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, so Israel is the wicked one.<br /><br />Someone will be given power over the nations. He will smash them to pieces and rule them with a rod of iron. This does not mean someone will be using an iron rod to keep order, or to physically destroy countries; it means no one will be able to evade the truth of the relationship between humanity and the intelligence it calls God.<br /><br />In chapter twelve of Revelation John introduces a child born to rule with the rod of iron. It is obvious that the child is Jesus. In chapter fourteen the winepress of God’s anger is mentioned; two characters are associated with the winepress, one is an angel with a sickle, and the other is ‘one like unto the Son of man’. John borrows the term, Son of man, from Daniel (7:13,14), and uses it to indicate Jesus. In chapter nineteen one character treads the winepress of God’s anger, smites the nations with a sharp sword from his mouth, and rules them with a rod of iron. Once again, it is Jesus; this time as ‘The Word of God’.<br /><br />Christianity teaches that Jesus can function in the material world. From beyond the grave he communicated with his apostles, so it would be an error to imagine Jesus as just another man. According to Revelation Jesus can send his angel to anyone; he sent it to John (22:16). In John’s work the terms angel and star have the same meaning more often than not. John calls Jesus the Morning Star, so it is legitimate to understand that star as the angel of Jesus. <br /><br />The ambition of that old serpent called the devil and Satan (Israel) will be frustrated by the Morning Star, and humanity will receive the gift of everlasting life from the Morning Star. This is the message in the Bible.<br />",

"content": "Seven: The Final Battle<br /><br /><br />From a certain perspective, the battle of Gog and Magog can be understood as already underway. Jewish immigrants from Russia can be seen as the aggressor from the North; this force is to be destroyed upon the mountains of Israel. Christian prophecy says the seven headed dragon will perish in this battle. The seven headed dragon is a word puzzle; the solution is: Israel, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, kingdom of the false prophet, and finally, Israel again. <br /><br />The kingdom of the false prophet can be easily identified. It is identifiable through its religion; its religion is an image to the beast. The beast is Israel, and Paul’s ‘Israel of God’ is its image. Israel is the beast with the head wound—a clue that leads to the book of Amos, chapter nine. The beast with the head wound is the last head, head eight, on the seven headed dragon. <br /><br />The heads on the dragon are empires that rule Israel for a time. Head number seven follows the Roman Empire; the Western element of the Roman Empire became the Holy Roman Empire and lasted until 1806. It is, therefore, legitimate to identify the British Empire as head seven, the head that would rule over Israel for a short time before it reverted to Israel: head eight. <br /><br />John’s seven headed dragon is made up of Israel and the foreign powers that would have power over Israel. Each foreign power represents a sevenfold punishment, now when the two heads that represent Israel are deducted, six heads are left. When these six heads are counted as sevenfold punishments they add up to forty-two, and it is this calculation which gives John his motif of forty-two months, or 1260 days. John based this puzzle on Leviticus (chapters twenty-five and twenty-six). <br /><br />Forty-two months is the time the Gentiles tread the holy city underfoot. It is the time in which the two witnesses prophesy (1260 days equals forty-two lunar months). It is the time the ‘woman’ spends in the wilderness; it coincides with the time, times, and half a time that the ‘woman’ is nourished and kept safe from the face of the serpent. It is the time in which the beast speaks great things and blasphemies. That forty-two months ended when Israel, head eight, was reconstituted and when the British Empire, head seven, withdrew from Israel.<br /><br />This forty-two months is not an ordinary time measurement. Israel is to be punished seven times, and each punishment is a sevenfold punishment, so the equation is seven times seven; seven times seven equals forty-nine. The last segment, of this forty-nine month period, began with the reconstitution of Israel. It is the time of the last punishment: the last seven plagues. In this period the cities of the nations fall, the harlot, Jerusalem, is punished, the beast, Israel, enters everlasting destruction, and the battle of Gog and Magog is fought.<br /><br />New Jerusalem is the city under threat during the battle of Gog and Magog. It is not a material object; it is a construct in which the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations, and in which the water of life is freely available. The fountain of the water of life, the street of pure gold, transparent glass, and clear crystal refer to the same phenomenon; this phenomenon is the city (Revelation 21:18). <br /><br />The twelve gates leading into the ‘city’ are named after the tribes of Israel. Each gate is a pearl; the pearl stands for white light. The foundations of the wall of the city contain the names of the twelve apostles, and twelve kinds of precious stones feature in the foundations of the wall; the precious stones signify coloured light. John’s city has the appearance of transparent glass, and it contains a display of white and coloured light. <br /><br />Another reference to this phenomenon is the ‘sea of glass mingled with fire’. John has those who have gotten victory over the beast stand upon this (Revelation 15:2). This phenomenon is the holy city that is trodden underfoot for forty-two months; it is the ‘woman’ that fled into the wilderness for one thousand two hundred and sixty days; it is the ‘woman’ that spends a time, and times, and half a time in the wilderness (Revelation, chapter twelve). It is the religion of the twelve apostles. It is not the false religion of Paul. His religion, followers, and churches, are the gentiles that tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. <br /><br />John introduces the number twelve into his description of the holy city: twelve thousand furlongs, twelve gates, twelve foundations, and one hundred and forty-four cubits. The one hundred and forty-four cubits links with the number of sealed individuals from the twelve tribes of the children of Israel (Revelation 7:4). <br /><br />When the facade is discounted, John’s ‘city’ is recognisable as a paranormal phenomenon. The teaching of Jesus is embodied in this phenomenon; it is a phenomenon in which ordinary light plays no part. The light in this phenomenon is provided by heaven. It is that light which Jesus names God. It is the light that cannot be understood by those who live in the darkness. It is the light (fire) from heaven, and it shines in the forehead.

"content": "Seven: The Final Battle\n\n\nFrom a certain perspective, the battle of Gog and Magog can be understood as already underway. Jewish immigrants from Russia can be seen as the aggressor from the North; this force is to be destroyed upon the mountains of Israel. Christian prophecy says the seven headed dragon will perish in this battle. The seven headed dragon is a word puzzle; the solution is: Israel, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, kingdom of the false prophet, and finally, Israel again. \n\nThe kingdom of the false prophet can be easily identified. It is identifiable through its religion; its religion is an image to the beast. The beast is Israel, and Paul’s ‘Israel of God’ is its image. Israel is the beast with the head wound—a clue that leads to the book of Amos, chapter nine. The beast with the head wound is the last head, head eight, on the seven headed dragon. \n\nThe heads on the dragon are empires that rule Israel for a time. Head number seven follows the Roman Empire; the Western element of the Roman Empire became the Holy Roman Empire and lasted until 1806. It is, therefore, legitimate to identify the British Empire as head seven, the head that would rule over Israel for a short time before it reverted to Israel: head eight. \n\nJohn’s seven headed dragon is made up of Israel and the foreign powers that would have power over Israel. Each foreign power represents a sevenfold punishment, now when the two heads that represent Israel are deducted, six heads are left. When these six heads are counted as sevenfold punishments they add up to forty-two, and it is this calculation which gives John his motif of forty-two months, or 1260 days. John based this puzzle on Leviticus (chapters twenty-five and twenty-six). \n\nForty-two months is the time the Gentiles tread the holy city underfoot. It is the time in which the two witnesses prophesy (1260 days equals forty-two lunar months). It is the time the ‘woman’ spends in the wilderness; it coincides with the time, times, and half a time that the ‘woman’ is nourished and kept safe from the face of the serpent. It is the time in which the beast speaks great things and blasphemies. That forty-two months ended when Israel, head eight, was reconstituted and when the British Empire, head seven, withdrew from Israel.\n\nThis forty-two months is not an ordinary time measurement. Israel is to be punished seven times, and each punishment is a sevenfold punishment, so the equation is seven times seven; seven times seven equals forty-nine. The last segment, of this forty-nine month period, began with the reconstitution of Israel. It is the time of the last punishment: the last seven plagues. In this period the cities of the nations fall, the harlot, Jerusalem, is punished, the beast, Israel, enters everlasting destruction, and the battle of Gog and Magog is fought.\n\nNew Jerusalem is the city under threat during the battle of Gog and Magog. It is not a material object; it is a construct in which the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations, and in which the water of life is freely available. The fountain of the water of life, the street of pure gold, transparent glass, and clear crystal refer to the same phenomenon; this phenomenon is the city (Revelation 21:18). \n\nThe twelve gates leading into the ‘city’ are named after the tribes of Israel. Each gate is a pearl; the pearl stands for white light. The foundations of the wall of the city contain the names of the twelve apostles, and twelve kinds of precious stones feature in the foundations of the wall; the precious stones signify coloured light. John’s city has the appearance of transparent glass, and it contains a display of white and coloured light. \n\nAnother reference to this phenomenon is the ‘sea of glass mingled with fire’. John has those who have gotten victory over the beast stand upon this (Revelation 15:2). This phenomenon is the holy city that is trodden underfoot for forty-two months; it is the ‘woman’ that fled into the wilderness for one thousand two hundred and sixty days; it is the ‘woman’ that spends a time, and times, and half a time in the wilderness (Revelation, chapter twelve). It is the religion of the twelve apostles. It is not the false religion of Paul. His religion, followers, and churches, are the gentiles that tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. \n\nJohn introduces the number twelve into his description of the holy city: twelve thousand furlongs, twelve gates, twelve foundations, and one hundred and forty-four cubits. The one hundred and forty-four cubits links with the number of sealed individuals from the twelve tribes of the children of Israel (Revelation 7:4). \n\nWhen the facade is discounted, John’s ‘city’ is recognisable as a paranormal phenomenon. The teaching of Jesus is embodied in this phenomenon; it is a phenomenon in which ordinary light plays no part. The light in this phenomenon is provided by heaven. It is that light which Jesus names God. It is the light that cannot be understood by those who live in the darkness. It is the light (fire) from heaven, and it shines in the forehead. It is this ‘city’ that is under threat from the dragon and its allies. \n\nThe world has been deceived. It has been deceived about religion. John maintains Jesus gave his life to correct this situation, and he corrected the situation by being lifted up as the serpent was lifted up by Moses (John 3:14). Moses lifted up a brass serpent as a cure against a plague of fiery serpents (Numbers 21:9), so Jesus can be seen as a cure for what is wrong with religion. The assertion, that if Jesus is lifted up from the Earth he will attract all people to him, is an important element of the crucifixion (John 12:32). Through this sacrifice the world is healed; it is reunited with its true religion. \n\nHumanity’s true religion is older than Israel.

"content": "Eight: A Tale of Two Gospels<br /><br /><br />The Christian religion consists of two gospels. One gospel is derived from the church founded by Jesus, and one gospel is derived from the church founded by Paul; these two gospels are very different, and they should not be conflated. The message associated with the original Christian group contains information about genuine paranormal phenomena, but the message associated with Paul contains evidence of fabricated phenomena. Paul, whose influence dominates the so-called New Testament, named his church the ‘Uncircumcision’, and he named the original church the ‘Circumcision’. <br /><br />Paul says (Romans 15:8), Jesus came to confirm promises made to the Jewish people. In Galatians, he claims the gospel of Peter was for the Circumcision, and that his gospel was for the Uncircumcision. He asserts his gospel is for the Gentiles; he means it is for every person that is not Jewish. Paul claims Jesus chose him to be the apostle to the Gentiles, and he claims Jesus gave him a gospel for them, but in Acts (15:7) Peter says he was chosen to teach the Gentiles. There is conflict here; the gospel of Peter is the same for Jew and Gentile, but the gospel of Paul is intended specifically for the Gentiles.<br /><br />Paul alleged his message for the Uncircumcision came directly from Jesus. In his self proclaimed role as apostle to the nations, he wanted the world to accept Jesus had informed him that the first man was made of dust. Paul’s version of the Hebrew creation story gained ground through the spread of Christianity; it became The Creation Story, and people around the world were educated to accept it as true. Paul’s version of the Hebrew creation story held its ground until challenged by Darwin’s theory of evolution. Today, most people accept evolution as true, but Paul’s impossible creation story is still circulating. <br /><br />Science supports the idea of human evolution. For science, a man made of dust is impossible, but if the science is correct, the gospel of Paul must be incorrect; it must be untrue. Paul’s claim of a man made of dust is untrue, so either Jesus lied to him, or he lied about receiving information directly from Jesus. It seems unlikely Jesus wanted the world to believe a lie, yet the world was educated to believe the man of dust lie. This lie is essential to the gospel of Paul; his gospel is built upon this lie. <br /><br />In 1 Corinthians (11:23), Paul claims his information about the Eucharist came directly from Jesus. The Eucharist is the ceremony in which bread and wine supposedly become the body and blood of Jesus. Paul established the ceremony, so those gospels that feature a last supper bread and wine event could only have been written after Paul introduced the practice. Three gospels feature a last supper bread and wine event; these gospels were influenced by Paul, and they were written to support his narrative. <br /><br />Three gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) flow from Paul’s gospel for the Gentiles: the Uncircumcision. Matthew and Mark speak of the abomination of desolation; the abomination of desolation is a feature in a prophecy from The Book of Daniel. This prophecy forms an important part of Paul’s gospel, and he refers to it in his second epistle to the Thessalonians (2:3). Paul’s ‘son of perdition’ is the ‘vile person’ of Daniel (11:21). This individual is responsible for placing the abomination of desolation; he is the wicked character in Paul’s gospel. Paul says this wicked character will be destroyed by Christ before Christians are taken up to meet Christ in the air.<br /><br />In Paul’s gospel, the abomination of desolation is set up shortly before the second coming, and the wicked individual responsible for setting up the abomination of desolation is destroyed by Christ at the second coming. There are two obvious problems with this part of Paul’s gospel. The first problem is that the abomination of desolation event, spoken of by Daniel, transpired under Antiochus lV (he died in 163 BC), and the second problem is that there is no longer a temple in which to place the abomination of desolation—a statue of Zeus. <br /><br />Luke does not mention the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel (12:11). For Luke, the time to escape the area is not when the abomination of desolation is set up, the time to escape the area is when Jerusalem is surrounded by armies; he sees this moment as the beginning of a time of desolation for that city. Luke’s assertion (21:24) that Jerusalem would be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled, links to Paul’s assertion in Romans (11:25, 26). Paul says, that when the fullness of the Gentiles be come in, all Israel will be saved.<br /><br />The gospel of Paul, which is supported by three gospels, begins with a man of dust and ends with Israel being saved. Paul wanted his Gentiles, the Uncircumcision, the Israel of God, to believe Jesus had given him a message especially for them. Paul’s message for the Gentiles says, God made a man out of dust, but that man committed a sin, and that sin caused death to reign over all human beings until Moses brought the law, and that the law freed humanity from death, and that Jesus came to redeem humanity from the law of Moses.<br /><br />A man of dust is essential to Paul’s gospel for the Gentiles, but science says no such man ever existed, so it is reasonable to conclude that Paul’s gospel for the Gentiles is impossible. <br /><br />Peter and John enjoy the same gospel. Paul says their gospel was meant only for Jewish people (the Circumcision). Peter took this gospel to Cornelius, so it was the first gospel given to the Gentiles, and the first Gentile followers of Jesus received the Holy Spirit during Peter’s visit. The Holy Spirit is a benefaction in the gospel of Peter and John; it is the experience mentioned in John’s first letter (I John 2:27). This experience is a marvellous lesson, and it makes human teachers of religion redundant, for it initiates teaching by the Holy Spirit. <br /><br />Paul wanted to deny the Gentiles Peter’s gospel, but the engendering of the first Gentile children of the light is linked to Peter’s gospel. The Holy Spirit appears as light (fire), and this light can be described as cloven tongues of fire, or it can be described as the day star. Some ‘stars’ are significant in the gospel of Peter and John, and in their gospel Jesus is the Morning Star. <br /><br />There is no abomination of desolation event in the gospel of Peter and John. The character responsible for placing that image in the Jerusalem temple does not feature in their gospel; the antagonist of their gospel is a seven headed dragon—John identifies three enemies: dragon, beast, and false prophet. The false prophet is the second beast encountered in Revelation (13:11), he pretends to be for Jesus, but he is an agent of the dragon, and that is why he is said to resemble a lamb but speak like a serpent. This man deceives the world; he does this with a Christian gospel. This gospel is so similar to the original Christian gospel that only certain individuals can tell the difference.<br /><br />Freedom is the fruit of the true Christian gospel, and subjection is the fruit of the false Christian gospel. The false Christian gospel has the beast with the head wound as its object of worship, and most of the world’s population will worship this beast, so knowing its identity is a matter of interest. <br />John gives two clues to the identity of the beast with the head wound. Those clues are the head wound and the number 666. Both clues deliver the name Israel. The head wound clue is derived from the Book of Amos (chapter nine), and it refers to the ten tribes of Israel. John makes this beast, the first beast encountered in Revelation, rise up out of the sea, and he does this to indicate the return of the ten tribes, or northern kingdom, scattered by Assyria. Israel is the beast with the head wound; it is the beast that was, then was not, but which would be again. <br /><br />Two clues are given to the name of the man with the false gospel. He wants the world to build an image to the beast with the head wound, and he makes fire from heaven visible to the naked eye. Israel is the beast with the head wound, so the man with the false gospel wants the world to build an image to Israel. The paranormal light, fire from heaven, does not shine on anything, so anyone who claims the light from heaven shone on him, or that it shone on people around him, is being dishonest. The man with the false gospel, a gospel that is so like the true gospel that only the elect can tell the difference, is Paul. His ‘Israel of God’ (Galatians 6:16) is the image to the beast, and his claim that light from heaven shone round about him, and those with him, is a lie (Acts 26:13).<br /><br />The ‘elect’, those who cannot be deceived by the false prophet’s ‘miracles’, know the light from heaven (cloven tongues of fire or day star) shines only in the forehead. In the gospel that Paul says was meant only for Jewish people, Jesus is the Morning Star, and the children of light enter into a union with him. A man of dust does not appear in the gospel of Peter and John. Their gospel features a man chosen by the intelligence Christians call God the Father; this intelligence is able to deploy the Spirit like a dove (bird of heaven), and in their gospel, Jerusalem, the harlot, burns, and Israel suffers everlasting destruction. <br /><br />Paul claims there are two gospels. He says one was meant only for Jewish people, the Circumcision, and the other, his gospel, was meant for everyone else, the Uncircumcision. The so-called gospel of the Circumcision contains information of real significance; the important information in this gospel has a paranormal source, and it links with ancient traditions that feature a Morning Star and bird of heaven. Paul’s gospel for the Uncircumcision has been used to deceive the nations; this gospel generated the false miracles necessary to the deception, and those false miracles include the turning of bread and wine into flesh and blood: the Eucharist. <br /><br />The star experience described as cloven tongues of fire in ‘Acts’ is a real experience, and in the experience a five pointed star constructed of paranormal light shines in the forehead. This phenomenon is the strongest recorded evidence available to support life after death theories; it is light (fire) from a paranormal location. Paul has nothing to do with this light; it did not shine in his forehead, and it is not an experience recorded amongst those that accepted his gospel for the Gentiles (the Uncircumcision). <br /><br />Clearly, there are two gospels, but only one contains the truth, and that one is the gospel associated with Peter and John (the Circumcision); that gospel is opposed to the Jewish narrative. The other gospel is a false gospel used to deceive the world, and to render it compliant to the Jewish narrative.",

"content": "Nine: Things to Come<br /><br /><br />Revelation is a book concerning things to come. It was written about two thousand years ago, so, by now, some of the prophecies contained in the book should have been fulfilled. One important prophecy concerns the return of the beast with the head wound; this beast returns from the Bottomless Pit. Israel is the beast with the head wound. John took material from The Book of Amos, chapter nine, to construct his head wound clue to the identity of the beast. The return of the beast prophecy is important as a time indicator, for some of the prophesied events take place only after the fulfilment of this prophecy, now, whether by design or by accident, this watershed prophecy came to fruition when Israel was re-established (1948). <br /><br />When the beast comes up from The Pit it makes war against John’s two witnesses. These witnesses link to The Book of Zechariah (4:14). John takes the ‘two anointed ones’ from Zechariah, and he turns them into prophets with powers surpassing those attributed to Moses. The two witnesses are powerful individuals, they are not ordinary men, ‘fire’ issues from their mouths to ‘kill’ those who would hurt them, so it is certain they have been anointed with the ‘fire’ from heaven and that their report, their testimony, cannot be faulted or defeated.<br /><br />John’s two witnesses are dressed in sackcloth. Sackcloth is a material associated with mourning, so it seems right to conclude the two witnesses are in mourning for Jesus. They prophesy in sadness for 1260 days. 1260 days is the time the woman that brought forth the child, who is destined to rule all nations, spends in the wilderness. Jesus is the child destined to rule all nations, and the associated woman is the original Jewish Christian church. <br /><br />The two witnesses, or anointed ones, testify from the earliest Christian period to the return of the beast. Their testimony is not a spoken testimony, it is a written testimony. Their testimony is in the so-called New Testament. Peter and John give the most important testimony, but their testimony has been eclipsed by Paul’s false testimony. Peter and John testify to the star experience at the heart of Christ’s religion; they both received that experience in the ‘cloven tongues of fire’ event. They are the two witnesses: ‘the two anointed ones’.<br /><br />1260 days is equivalent to ‘a time, and times, and half a time’. The woman that brought forth the child spends time in the wilderness, and that time can be represented in the two ways presented above; the source of the second description is The Book of Daniel (12:7). Daniel and John see the end of this period as pivotal. Daniel says the prophecies in his book conclude at this time. John says it signals the return from the wilderness of the woman who brought forth the child, the triumph of the two witnesses, a great earthquake, and the destruction of those who are destroying the Earth.<br /><br />Two events must take place before this moment is reached. In Revelation these events are overseen by angels five and six. Event number one involves people suffering torment; the torment starts after they have been ‘stung’ by ‘locusts’ using scorpion-like stings. The clue John gives to the identity of the locusts, with the scorpion-like stings, leads to the beard and payot worn by some Jewish men. John’s clue is constructed from Leviticus 19:27. He uses the clue to indicate that the stinging, which causes the torment, will be a Jewish enterprise. <br /><br />The second event is a world changing war. It takes place on land west of the Euphrates. It is Armageddon and Gog and Magog; it is a war in which the beast, false prophet, and dragon are defeated—the beast is head one and head eight on the seven headed dragon, so to destroy the beast is to destroy the dragon. Event number two lasts until the time of angel seven and the great earthquake. The triumph of the two witnesses, the woman’s return from the wilderness, and the destruction of those destroying the Earth, take place during the time of the sixth angel. <br /><br />Angel six, the penultimate actor in this drama, ushers in a world changing war. John describes two of the weapons used in this war—the weapons he describes were to be deployed in a future war, so they were not weapons available to the armies of two thousand years ago. One weapon is a tail with a serpent’s head, and that tail belongs to the second weapon, a horse with a lion’s mouth; both weapons produce fire, smoke, and brimstone (sulphur). The phenomena described by John, fire, smoke, and brimstone, could link with a war involving guns and tanks, but they would not link with a war involving sword and spear.<br /><br />In the war those who are destroying the Earth are destroyed. The beast, false prophet, and dragon are defeated in the war, and all three end up in a lake of fire burning with brimstone; the beast is head eight, the last head, on the dragon, so the end of the beast is also the end of the dragon. Hell and death also end up in the lake of fire, for they will be seen to have no actual existence. In fact, every impediment to the true Christian religion, the religion of the two witnesses, will end up in the lake of fire. <br /><br />The lake of fire will impact human psychology and belief systems. It will also impact an area of land surrounded by land, turning it into a lake of fire burning with brimstone, so most of the Earth will not be consumed, and there will be survivors (Revelation 21:24). The physical location of the lake of fire is limited to the physical location of the defeated enemies. Israel is the beast, and it is head eight on the dragon, so the lake of fire must appear where Israel is, for Israel cannot be taken to another location. <br /><br />Angel seven, the last actor in the drama, ushers in the greatest ever earthquake. The earthquake is linked to ‘the battle of that great day of God Almighty’ (Revelation 16:14). John is attempting to describe an unprecedented wartime event, an event for which he had no language, so his description of the event could be a rough description. The ‘earthquake’ could be a massive explosion.<br />",
