Dark Winter Solstice Conjunction


Today is the first time in written history, that I could tell, when the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter has occurred exactly on the winter solstice. This whole year, Pluto was also in conjunction with them which adds to the rarity of the event. Did the satanic ruling class know this way in advance and plan for it? Well, what do you think Satanists do? Of course they did. That's why we have this plandemic. It is telling, in more ways that one, that they are using a term from a senior-level bio-attack simulation held in June of 2001. 

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

This year saw the resurgence of this term and since then it has been repeated ad nauseum by many people in politics and the media.

https://www.corbettreport.com/dark-winter-restaurant-snitches-black-mirror-new-world-next-week/

Just type the term "dark winter" into a search and see the endless trail of results. This is a psychological operation as a satanic ritual meant to get under your skin and plant the virus of fear as well as hope. Hope in a system of technocratic stature with eugenic overtones. The nature of predictive programming is such that when the idea that you have been conditioned with manifests in real life you are already conditioned to accept it as reality.

The predictive programming of the propagandist media and their use of the term "dark winter" is a satanic ritual to spread more mass deception around the world. Remember the blood moons of 2016 and the 7 Salem eclipse of 2017? They were warnings to us from God as much as they were opportunities in the eyes of occultists. We should not turn a blind eye to either. Ignoring what the rulers of this age are doing is not going to make it go away, like pulling a blanket over your head when an intruder enters your home. Putting on the whole armor of God is not so you can sit back and ignore the battle. In war, you anticipate your opponent's moves, expose them to your generals and plan to counter accordingly.

Of course, as you might point out, the heavens declare the glory of God, so why should I care what evil people are doing? Because the people ruling this world are trying to deceive everyone into believing a satanic narrative, which tries to look godly. Should we turn a blind eye if we have eyes to see? Is that not just laziness and willful ignorance, even neglect?

The significance of this one-time cosmic event cannot be understated, because occultists and new agers all around the world are looking into its astrological meaning, grasping for some celestial answer that will lead them into the Age of Aquarius. It is not only these people who are being duped, though. Even Christians, who are supposed to reject this type of thinking, are falling into the trap. Maybe not in an overtly occult way, but they are swallowing the pill of deception nonetheless. People all around the world are looking at this as a positive sign for social change and technological revolution. The only positive thing this sign brings is a warning from God to open your eyes. It is 2020 folks. Do you have eyes to see what is happening right now?

UN Agenda 21, Eugenics, Technocracy, New World Order, Transhumanism... Satanism.

Babylon riding the beast.

and they are pushing his agenda hard right now.


John 14:30
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

Ephesians 6:12-13
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

1 Peter 5:8-10
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

1 John 5:19
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

Holydaze - the Origins of the Holiday Season - Part 1


The Origins of the Holiday Season

Part 1

hol·i·day  /ˈhäləˌdā/
Origin: Old English hāligdæg ‘holy day’


Why do we do the things we do?

In our search for truth, it is good to question every tradition we have come to accept as normal in our society, lest we fall short of the will of God and see the proverbial writing on the wall:

Mene mene tekel uparshin
(You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting)
Daniel 5:25

In this exposition we will examine the historical record to see what theologians and historians wrote about the holiday season. We will observe both ancient and more modern sources in order to rightly divide the truth regarding the origins of the holidays billions of people have come to know and love. Let us do this so that we may prove the perfect, acceptable will of God (Romans 12:2). At the same time, we will examine some of the arguments people use to justify the celebration of the holiday season to see if they hold up to scrutiny. Let us test all things as Paul tells us to in 1 Thessalonians 5:21.

For millennia, the winter solstice has repeatedly been associated with heavy drinking, obnoxious revelries and lewd behavior. This was in part due to pagan religious beliefs about that particular time of year. Lucian, a mid-2nd century writer writes as Saturn in the first person, saying to the Romans, “During My week the serious is barred; no business allowed. Drinking, noise and games and dice, appointing of kings and feasting of slaves, singing naked, clapping of frenzied hands, an occasional ducking of corked faces in icy water—such are the functions over which I preside.”

The Romans and the Greeks considered the time leading up to the winter solstice a holiday season and this season has persisted throughout the western world for millennia. The Puritans refused to celebrate Christmas and wanted nothing to do with it. This is not only because of the typically loose behavior that accompanied the winter celebrations, but because they saw no biblical or spiritual reason to participate in them. All throughout the late Roman Empire and Medieval Europe the holiday season was largely considered a pagan festival and was shunned by many churches. Yet, some still adopted them with the intention of Christianization. From the second century all the way to today there has never been a consensus that Christmas is even a Christian holiday. There were times when the Roman church tried to clean up the holidays and associate them with Christian themes, yet it didn’t really catch on at first. Centuries later, at the end of the Renaissance, the holiday season started seeing a resurgence of popularity, but it was not a Christian resurgence. It was secular and pagan in nature. It carried the same elements of drunkenness and pleasure-seeking that the Roman holidays did. In the 19th century there were considerable efforts made to clean up the bad reputation of the holidays and create an image, a feeling and a spirit that was more family/community oriented. This holiday season carried the added benefit of increased commerce at a time when people tended to spend less, though one might argue commercialism was the primary reason for the revival of the season.

There were many failed attempts to clean up these pagan winter festivals, known primarily in the Roman Empire by the names Saturnalia and Brumalia. These ancient days of Brumae eventually transformed into the modern Holiday Season which encompasses Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Winter festivals have a written history as far back as the 7th century BC in the ancient near east (probably much further back in Egypt) to the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD, where Christ’s nativity was declared as being the true reason for the season. In spite of this declaration the pagan spirit persisted even through Justinian’s ban of the holidays in the 6th century. People insisted on celebrating these festivals the way they had been for centuries, regardless of what the church or emperor would say, all the way through to the 11th century, where the Eastern Byzantine Empire, known for its religious orthodoxy (especially Constantinople), held fast to these traditions. It is no surprise that Constantine’s prized city kept these customs alive, especially considering the corruptions that occurred in the church during his 4th century reign. Most Christians are taught that Constantine was a savior, a hero-type figure, who helped to make Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. What really occurred was a twisting of the Gospel truth, the rise of Dominion Theology, encouragement towards the syncretization of religions, a suppression of the nature and identity of Yahshua and the merging of the church with the State (might I dub it the ApoState?). Constantine and the Council of Nicea are subjects worthy of their own in-depth study. For now, though, let’s look at Christmas in its more modern form. From there we can trace it back to see what can be learned of its history. We will do this to answer the opening question of this book: “Why do we do the things we do?” In order to remain open to an answer you may not want to hear consider first the following verse before we move on:

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:23-24

The Modern Resurgence of Christmas


Let us begin our journey back through time with the words of a well-known, 19th century preacher, Charles Spurgeon.

We have no superstitious regard for times and seasons. Certainly, we do not believe in the present ecclesiastical arrangement called Christmas. First because we do not believe in any mass at all, but abhor it, whether it be sung in Latin or in English: Secondly, because we find no scriptural warrant whatever for observing any day as the birthday of the Savior; and consequently, its observance is a superstition, because not of divine authority. Superstition has fixed most positively the day of our Savior’s birth, although there is no possibility of discovering when it occurred... It was not till the middle of the third century that any part of the church celebrated the birth of our Lord; and it was not till long after the western Church had set the example, that the eastern adopted it. Because the day is not known... Probably the fact is that the “holy” days were arranged to fit in with the heathen festivals. We venture to assert that if there be any day in the year of which we may be pretty sure that it was not the day on which our Savior was born it is the 25th of December... I will neither justify nor condemn… Regarding not the day, let us give God thanks for the gift of His dear Son.” —C. H. Spurgeon Dec. 24, 1871 (Spurgeon, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit)

Spurgeon simplified and condensed a lot of information in this statement. Clearly, he knew a good deal of the history behind the Holiday Season. His sermon pointed not only to the incarnation but to the death on the cross, for it was not the incarnation alone that saved us. The shed blood on the cross is the focus in the epistles of the apostles. Rarely was birth even mentioned. It was what Christ accomplished on the cross that completed and fulfilled the good news of the Gospel. In this sermon he didn’t condemn meditating on the incarnation of Christ, but he certainly criticized the typical traditions that people had come to depend on in order to enjoy Christmas. In an earlier sermon in 1856, he said, “…though I have no respect to the religious observance of the day, yet I love it as a family institution…” He was preaching at a time when Europe and North America were experiencing a massive resurgence of the Christmas holiday and I’m sure this is what prompted his exhortation as well as his obvious apprehension towards the “holiday.”

With a fervent admonition from such a well-respected minister as Charles Spurgeon, should we not perform our due diligence by testing his claims about Christmas? Shouldn’t we use our Spirit-given discernment to determine if what he is saying is the truth? If we find the evidence is compelling, and even more, then we must face the decision to cease celebrating these “holy days.” The fact is there is nothing holy about them because they are not God-ordained, and they have nothing to do with the Gospel of Yahshua Christ except what man has assigned to them. It is a shame that most Christians have decided to ignore or reinterpret the parts of the Bible they don’t agree with and accept a half-hearted, watered-down version of the Gospel. Let us embrace it wholly, not shying from the cross of Christ, which is the focal point of His life on earth.

What scares the Dickens out of you?



In 1843, Charles Dickens published his famous novella, A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, known in short as A Christmas Carol. It immediately became an overnight success. A critic named Margaret Oliphant wrote the faintest praise of all her contemporary critics, characterizing Dickens’s book as “the apotheosis of turkey and plum pudding,” and admitted that “it moved us all in those days as if it had been a new gospel.” (Wikipedia, WV Gazette-Mail, Lithub). Despite there being nothing Christian about the story it made its way into the hands and homes of many Christians, nonetheless. Although the purported inspiration of the story was Dickens’ disgust towards child labor and the brutality of the burgeoning Industrial Revolution, the real appeal was the surface morality of being jolly and generous during the Christmas season, as well as shunning those who oppose the Christmas spirit. In a way, Ebenezer Scrooge was not only a representative of the cold business class but a caricature of those pesky Puritan types who rained on everyone’s parade. Ironically, the very Industrial Revolution Dickens’ was railing against helped him to capitalize on his own work, making him rich and creating an opportunity for mass consumerism that never existed in such a wide-reaching capacity before.

If we are addressing the irony of Dickens then let us note that Ebenezer is a name from the Bible, seen in 1 Samuel 7:12. The Hebrew name means, “stone of help.” The Bible says that the Israelites came against the Philistines in battle near a city called Ebenezer. They were participating in idolatry at that time and thought that if they brought the Ark of the Covenant into the camp surely Yahweh would give them victory like He had done before. The Philistines defeated them, and Israel suffered great loss, including the ark, which was carried off by the enemy. After they realized they lost because of their idolatry they repented. The next time they went against the Philistines Yahweh gave them victory. You see, we cannot be idolaters and expect God to help us. We gain victory by remaining pure and holy. If we become complacent and undiscerning, falling into compromise and idolatry, we can’t expect God to stand up for us. The scariest thing about this account is that the Israelites didn’t even know they were sinning until they were defeated! How could this be possible? They knew what Yahweh commanded them. Surely, they would know if they were committing a grave sin. Evidently, they did not, and this was not the first time. They fell into idolatry over and over, which led God’s hand to teach them many hard lessons.

The takeaway for Christians is that we cannot put Christ in something that He was not in to begin with, just as the Israelites cannot attempt to bring the ark to a losing battle thinking God is in that ark. The ark is a symbol of a pure heart with God’s law written within, but they did not have pure hearts. The “stone” that helped them (being a foreshadowing of Christ) came after they repented of their idolatry.

At some point in his life Dickens became a Unitarian, a denomination that rejects the Trinity and the divine nature of Christ. Unitarians also reject the doctrine of Original Sin and instead adopt a Humanist approach to spirituality, placing an emphasis on using reason in order to understand the Bible. These tenants eventually led to their universal acceptance of all people, including liberal Christians, Buddhists, Jews and neo-pagans. Humanism is the basis of humanitarianism and the justification of works-based faith for many Christians. They think that charity of any kind is of Christ when it is the other way around. Christ will lead you to right charity.

Because of Dickens’ beliefs it is no wonder that Ebenezer, the stone that helps, takes on a form that merely looks like the author’s own conception of Christ in the story. You see, Scrooge became more “Christ-like” by being scared out of his wits by ghosts of his past. These ghosts persuaded him to become nice, generous and caring instead of greedy and grumbling. While these might be commendable traits this is a very watered-down summation of Christ’s teachings and an obvious attempt to use Christmas as a crutch for this message. Repentance is not enough to save you. It is making Christ Lord over your life that saves you. In this tale it is not God or Christ leading Scrooge to repentance. It is pagan ideas, myths and legends.

It is no wonder it is the iconic tale that defined Christmas, a holiday that was, from its Christianized inception, aimed to unite disparate groups of people in a common harmony. A Christmas Carol doesn’t really have Christ in it, but it does have other elements of spirituality, elements that are clearly pagan in nature. For example, it wasn’t Christ that inspired Scrooge to change. It was the ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come. The ghost of Christmas Present is a perfect depiction of the Germanic Holly King, complete with symbols of firelight, life and abundance in the midst of winter’s desolation (see illustration). Similarly, the Ghost of Christmas Present bore a striking, purposeful resemblance to the Grim Reaper, who is the personification of Death. The Grim Reaper has his origins in the same symbolism of Cronos/Saturn, who was an unpleasant, elderly man carrying a scythe and ruling over time. Father Time also shares in the same roots and is closely associated with the old year transitioning to the new year. It was the fear of death and leaving behind a legacy of selfishness that finally made Scrooge decide to be more selfless. That’s humanism, not Christianity. I think many Christians have a narrow view of paganism. Pagans have morals too. They don’t all go around conducting sexual rituals and child sacrifices. Many pagans would be considered very moral, humanitarian people. So, what then, separates Christian morality from pagan? Remember, Satan comes disguised as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). He is trying to look like Christ, who is the light and life of the world. He wants to deceive you into thinking you are behaving according God’s will when really, it is his will that you are doing.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20

If Dickens understood the name Ebenzer then perhaps the “Stone of help,” who is Christ, would have a place in his story. If so, it would have been a much different story, but then again, it probably wouldn’t have inspired the following generations to adopt “morally acceptable” pagan traditions. I doubt he would have written the book at all if that were the case. The true Gospel is not a popular message.

It is interesting to note that Queen Victoria was a lover of Dickens’ writings. In 1848, an engraving was published in in the Illustrated London News of a Christmas tree in Windsor Castle surrounded by Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, their servants and several children (see illustration). This was a depiction of an event that actually occurred. Prince Albert brought an evergreen, called a Tannenbaum, into the castle as part of his German heritage. This cover story’s image, along with Dickens’ story, inspired people in both Europe and America to begin reviving and reinventing the image and spirit of Christmas, filtering out centuries of licentiousness, leaving the relics of things deemed good and worthy of practice by the judgment of men, not God. Within 10 years Christmas trees were a standard tradition in homes all across the western world.



The Holly King is an ancient Germanic/Celtic/Norse personification of wintertime, which inspired the modern Father Christmas. Compare the likenesses of the Holly King to the depiction of the Ghost of Christmas Present in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.


Illustrated London News, 1848

It was not long before Christians started trying to make Christmas about Christ, but Spurgeon was arguing that it was not a Christian cause, that we should ignore the holiday and be separate from the world. His Puritan counterparts from the 16th century would wholeheartedly agree. Sure, the Puritans were often very legalistic, but at least they had a desire for purity and godliness. I feel the same way about such religious movements as the Anabaptists, Amish and Mennonites. Unfortunately, most people that decide to abandon the legalism of these denominations only wind up blanketly calling any form of religious confrontation legalism. It’s a shame because purity doesn’t have to be legalistic, and many times those who are being called pharisees are being called such by the pharisees of a “new-and-improved” version of Christianity.

Charity

The “spirit of Christmas,” which stories like A Christmas Carol promote, mean to suggest that through philanthropy one can gain a happy, fulfilling life. Donations to charity skyrocket at this time of year. It is easy for a Christian to justify “getting in the Christmas spirit” because it is supposedly Christ-like to give to those in need, but are you getting into the spirit of Christmas or is it getting into you? If the definition of being Christ-like is charity to everyone and if Christ was a humanitarian, why did He walk by the crippled man at the temple knowing He could heal Him? Surely, He saw this man, who was lame from birth and was brought to the temple daily to beg for alms. Why did He wait and let Peter heal him (Acts 3:1-16)? Why, being full of the grace of God and wise beyond His years as a child, did He restrict His ministry to only three years when He could have been preaching the Gospel and healing everyone He came across His whole life? The answer is simple. Christ only ever did the will of the Father. If it was not God’s will that He heal, then He did not heal. So, are Christians always supposed to be charitable? Do you get a reward for giving regardless of when or to whom you are giving? I suppose the real question is, can we make charity into an idol? According to Tertullian, we can. His argument is nothing less than compelling. We can take anything good and turn it into an idol by the works of our own hands.

The Spirit of Babylon is the worship of humanity above God. Humanitarianism is an idea that people fall in love with because it fits their own view of morality. People forget that God’s morality is not their morality. When humanitarianism takes precedence over God, you have become an idolater. Remember, Yahshua reduced the 10 Commandments to 2, saying the first is, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength…” and the second being, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” The second cannot become the first. When it does you can expect judgment to come sooner or later.

I will utter My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness,
Because they have forsaken Me, burned incense to other gods,
And worshiped the works of their own hands.
Jeremiah 1:16

If your charity and humanitarianism is the works of your own hands, it is worthless to God. However, if your charity is the work of God, then it is commendable in His sight. Knowing the difference is knowing when God is speaking to you and when you are following the dictates of the world, which often try to imitate God.

Holydaze - New Book Release

It's been a while since I last posted, mostly because I have been questioning whether God wanted me to. Over the last year God has given me many revelations and insights into different subjects, of which I will gladly be sharing with anyone who is interested, here on this blog or otherwise.

For a couple of years now, I have been doing in-depth research on the subject of the holidays. Over time I amassed about 20,000 words of random notes on the subject and a boat load of resources to draw from. At the same time I was, and have been, praying to God to take action in my life regarding my ministry and my job, which have been somewhat in opposition to one another. After much prayer, God has finally set in motion the good things I requested by releasing me from my job as a webmaster/online marketing manager, and giving me time and head space to focus on organizing the information I have collected by His good graces. I don't know if He will lead me to another job or if He wants me to remain only in ministry, but I am open to both possibilities. I am praying that He will open and close doors as He sees fit and guide me on the narrow path of life.


I am happy to finally post the first edition of my first book, which God has directed me to write and release, Holydaze, the Origins of the Holiday Season. Although there are still a few chapters I would like to add to the book at some point I do feel it has reached a state of maturity that is ready and timely for your eyes and spiritual ears.

At some point I will be making my own website where I will be posting this work as well as another book that is in the works about the Trinity, tentatively titled Three in One, One in Three. God prompted me to write this book after an encounter with an anti-trinitarian, and since then I have come to find that there are many misconceptions about the nature of the Father, the Son and the Spirit. This work will be published in the coming months along with my website.

It is my aim to turn these books into individual blogs, videos, Facebook posts and newsletters for the inmates in the prison ministry Parables Bookshelf, which was given to me by God through Joseph Herrin about 4 years ago. For those who don't know who Joseph is, he is a minister who wrote 22 books and many articles, which are published for free on his website heart4god.ws. He had a stroke a week after I moved to Montezuma, GA where he resides. Since then God has been working on raising me up into a minister for Him, beginning with taking over Joseph's prison ministry and now moving into the public sphere. Admittedly, I am still a very flawed man who feels unworthy to be teaching, but by His grace, mercy, correction and longsuffering, I am learning to hear His voice more clearly and to follow His Spirit onto the path He has laid for me. I pray that He will use these works He has given me to minister to you in the ways that He knows you need, and may we, as brothers and sisters grow together, firmly established in the truth of His love.

Santa Claus EXISTS - Response to Jonathan Pageau

I was watching a video from Jonathan Pageau, an Eastern Orthodox YouTube philosopher of sorts, titled, "Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy Exist." In it he is trying to make the point that Atheists often use Santa and Tooth Fairy to argue against the existence of God. He tries to argue that these "spirits" do actually exist in a manner of speaking, and goes on this philosophical rant, perhaps to appeal to people who present this type of anti-religious argument. The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXnef2Ltklg

My response to Jonathan is this:

Your idols that can neither hear, nor see, nor walk... No, Santa Clause is an idol that people make believe is seeing, hearing and walking. You can't philosophize him into being by saying the guy in the suit IS Santa Clause simply because he acts the part. Santa only exists as a construct of human imagination. He exists in people's minds and they act that out. That is the difference between God and Santa. God DOES exist and it can be proven when you experience Him personally as, for example, a response to prayer or the moving of His Spirit. Santa's "spirit" is moved by men and resides in the heart of men, manifesting from the human heart as an image (yet Santa is not an actual spirit like demons, for instance, who are disembodied souls). Don't confuse the "spirit" of an idea with an actual spirit. In contrast to Santa's spirit being moved by men, God is moved by no one. He manifested His heart in His Son, His Eikon, His Logos, who is very real and descends, extends and exists apart from God the Father. Man imposes himself on the idea, or "spirit" of Santa. God exposes Himself to man through His Son and His Spirit. Big difference. So when God says in Scripture that the Israelites were bowing to idols that can neither hear, nor see, nor walk, He is acknowledging they exist only in the minds of men. They are illusions just as Santa is, even delusions. Here is the heart of idolatry. It begins in the human heart and serves only a humanist purpose, especially if we try to impose that idea on God (golden calf - feast day unto Yahweh...). That is why anything that arises out the human heart is filthy rags to God. Only thoughts and actions which are led by His Spirit are just, worthy and good.

Nephilim, Anunnaki and Nibiru / Christmas - Letter to a Prisoner


Below is a letter I wrote in response to an inmate's request to provide him information refuting the ancient astronaut theory proposed by Zechariah Sitchen as well as the subject of Christmas.

~ • ~

Hi M***. This is George Young. I have been running Joseph’s ministry for a couple of years now after he had a stroke. He is doing well now but he cannot perform at his previous level. Yahweh sent me to help keep things going.

I received your letter asking for information regarding the Anunnaki and Nibiru (aka Planet X). I am not an expert on the subject and Joseph does not have any writings covering it. The thing is there isn’t really much in the historical record supporting the “ancient astronaut” story. What is used as “evidence” is spun out of context and exaggerated or just plain fabricated into the conspiracy theory we know today. I’ll do my best to provide you some basic, concise info debunking the stories surrounding the Sumerian texts without getting too deep into scholarly jargon.

There is much that is hotly debated including the meaning of the word Nephilim, where or what exactly Nibiru is, whether the Anunnaki have any relation to the Nephilim, the authenticity of the book of Enoch… There really is a lot we don’t understand about ancient cultures. It is my belief that people are trying too hard to assign meaning and understanding to something that is out of their reach. That is a dangerous place to be. What we do know, biblically speaking, is that the Nephilim were giants and they existed both before and after the flood. Goliath was one of them.

We can address extra-biblical sources as well to find some answers. According to scholars, there isn't a single text in the entire cuneiform record that:

  • Has nibiru as a planet beyond Pluto
  • Connects nibiru with the Anunnaki
  • Has nibiru cycling through our solar system every 3600 years 

The theory of Planet X arose out of a mathematical anomaly that couldn’t be explained before 1992. This anomaly suggested that due to Neptune’s estimated size certain gravitational laws should be in place but the math was slightly off, enough that astro-physicists speculated that there might be something unseen causing a gravitational shift in the outer planets. Since 1992, data from Voyager 2 has cleared that up. Neptune was not quite as large as we thought it was. That small difference was enough to resolve the mathematical anomaly.

If there was something out there coming even remotely close to our solar system we would know it because it would be throwing off orbits and astronomy programs across the world would suddenly all be wrong. People would notice, starting with the very stable Kuiper belt surrounding our solar system. We’ve done pretty well with predicting comets and asteroids after all. The only next argument a person can make is that Planet X is a space ship. All I can say is what evidence is there of that?

Speaking of evidence, there is none that shows Zecharia Sitchin really even understood the ancient languages he claimed to. In fact, there were several elementary errors in his translations. Many knowledgeable scholars say this proves he was not a master of those languages but a hobbyist at best, a hobbyist with a clear bias towards a certain interpretation. I do not mean to say that since scholars scoff at someone it means we shouldn’t take that person seriously. There are plenty of errors in academia and the scientific community. What matters are the facts and what is true. Sitchin’s claims are simply unfounded. Here are a few more facts that should cause anyone seeking the truth to question the ancient astronaut fable:

  • The Cylinder Seal VA 243 does not contain any reference or indication that the celestial bodies depicted on its top left side are of this solar system. In fact, it does not even contain the image of the sun, which is always a star with wavy lines completely enclosed in a circle. What we see is a prominent six-sided star surrounded by 11 smaller dots, which is an indication that it is probably a reference to a constellation with 12 stars.
  • There is no evidence the Sumerians knew of more than 5 planets in our solar system.
  • The inscription on the cylinder states, “Dubsiga, Ili-illat, your/his servant.” There is nothing to support anything in the ancient astronaut theory.
  • Sitchen’s translation of the word nephilim demonstrates a lack of knowledge and respect to the Akkadian, Aramaic and Hebrew languages he purports to be an expert in. Here is what scholar Michael Heiser says to that fact:

Sitchin assumes "nephilim" comes from the Hebrew word "naphal" which usually means "to fall." He then forces the meaning "to come down" onto the word, creating his "to come down from above" translation. In the form we find it in the Hebrew Bible, if the word nephilim came from Hebrew naphal, it would not be spelled as we find it. The form nephilim cannot mean "fallen ones" (the spelling would then be nephulim). Likewise nephilim does not mean "those who fall" or "those who fall away" (that would be nophelim). The only way in Hebrew to get nephilim from naphal by the rules of Hebrew morphology (word formation) would be to presume a noun spelled naphil and then pluralize it. I say "presume" since this noun does not exist in biblical Hebrew -- unless one counts Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33, the two occurrences of nephilim -- but that would then be assuming what one is trying to prove! However, in Aramaic the noun naphil(a) does exist. It means "giant," making it easy to see why the Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) translated nephilim as gigantes ("giant")… It is most likely that nephilim is an Aramaic term imported into Hebrew during the final editing of the Hebrew Bible in Babylon (where Aramaic was the lingua franca) and then the ending was corrected to Hebrew rules of word formation. Both phenomena are known in the Hebrew Bible… The verb "to go down" in biblical Hebrew is not naphal; it is yarad. The verb naphal  can mean something approximate to "came down" under one condition: it must occur in the Hiphil ("causative") stem in Hebrew grammar. If you know Hebrew, you know this is because the Hiphil stem adds either a prefixed letter to the verb and an a-class vowel (or both) in the verb conjugations, and any such occurrences in the Hebrew Bible are therefore not spelled "nephilim."

Since I quoted Michael Heiser I feel I need to attach a disclaimer. He is an anti-trinitarian and so if you ever read any of his works bear that in mind. I believe the Bible clearly reveals a triune God, despite the few isolated verses and word studies that anti-trinitarians cite. They lack understanding of our God. This is the danger of isogesis and one of the problems I have with academics. The whole Bible must be taken into account when attempting to prove a doctrine. Even the scientific method has a way of trying to disprove a theory to see if it stands in the face of opposition. Bias is a strong force in our psyche (translated as “soul” in the Bible). I recall a very wise statement, “Never underestimate the power of denial.”

If you are thinking about trying to change someone else’s point of view, ask yourself first whether they are open to listening. I have a friend who believes the earth is flat. I challenged him with some very compelling questions that he couldn’t answer (Explain the coriolis effect with the flat earth model. the procession of the equinoxes.  the curved shadow on the moon…) but that didn’t change his mind. Truth only makes it through a stony heart if someone knows there is something wrong with what they believe. You can’t reason with a fool. The Bible tells us this repeatedly.

I’m sure there is much more I could add but this should give you and your friend some food for thought. I have also modified your newsletter queue so that “Attractive Deception” (about the Hebrew Roots movement) and some of the Christmas teachings will come next. For now, here is something I’ll share with you that gave me pause. I came across this quote from Tertullian’s "On Idolatry" last holiday season. It is the smoking gun I was looking for in my search for evidence of idolatry and syncretism regarding the holiday season in the very early church. Read this quote multiple times considering what it would mean if the church were, even today, leading heathens "into the fold" by means of false doctrines and idolatrous traditions. I must also add a disclaimer to this quote, because there is some error in it. I will highlight those parts in red.

But, however, the majority (of Christians) have by this time induced the belief in their mind that it is pardonable if at any time they do what the heathen do, for fear the Name be blasphemed. Now the blasphemy which must quite be shunned by us in every way is, I take it, this: If any of us lead a heathen into blasphemy with good cause, either by fraud, or by injury, or by contumely, or any other matter of worthy complaint, in which the Name is deservedly impugned, so that the Lord, too, be deservedly angry. Else, if of all blasphemy it has been said, By your means My Name is blasphemed, we all perish at once; since the whole circus, with no desert of ours, assails the Name with wicked suffrages. Let us cease (to be Christians) and it will not be blasphemed! On the contrary, while we are, let it be blasphemed: in the observance, not the overstepping, of discipline; while we are being approved, not while we are being reprobated. Oh blasphemy, bordering on martyrdom, which now attests me to be a Christian, while for that very account it detests me! The cursing of well-maintained Discipline is a blessing of the Name. If, says he, I wished to please men, I should not be Christ's servant. But the same apostle [Paul] elsewhere bids us take care to please all: As I, he says, please all by all means. 1 Corinthians 10:32-33 No doubt he used to please them by celebrating the Saturnalia and New-year's day! [Was it so] or was it by moderation and patience? By gravity, by kindness, by integrity? In like manner, when he is saying, I have become all things to all, that I may gain all, 1 Corinthians 9:22 does he mean to idolaters an idolater? to heathens a heathen? to the worldly worldly? But albeit he does not prohibit us from having our conversation with idolaters and adulterers, and the other criminals, saying, Otherwise you would go out from the world, 1 Corinthians 5:10 of course he does not so slacken those reins of conversation that, since it is necessary for us both to live and to mingle with sinners, we may be able to sin with them too. Where there is the intercourse of life, which the apostle concedes, there is sinning, which no one permits. To live with heathens is lawful, to die with them is not. Let us live with all; let us be glad with them, out of community of nature, not of superstition. We are peers in soul, not in discipline; fellow-possessors of the world [we do not possess the world as of yet. It has not been taken from the “ruler of this age” yet, who is Satan. See 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 5:19, Ephesians 2:2], not of error. But if we have no right of communion in matters of this kind with strangers, how far more wicked to celebrate them among brethren! Who can maintain or defend this? The Holy Spirit upbraids the Jews with their holy-days. Your Sabbaths, and new moons, and ceremonies, says He, My soul hates. By us, to whom Sabbaths are strange, and the new moons and festivals formerly beloved by God, the Saturnalia and New-year's and Midwinter's festivals and Matronalia are frequented — presents come and go — New-year's gifts — games join their noise — banquets join their din! Oh better fidelity of the nations to their own sect, which claims no solemnity of the Christians for itself! Not the Lord's day, not Pentecost, even it they had known them, would they have shared with us; for they would fear lest they should seem to be Christians. We are not apprehensive lest we seem to be heathens! If any indulgence is to be granted to the flesh, you have it. I will not say your own days, but more too; for to the heathens each festive day occurs but once annually: you have a festive day every eighth day [I would cut out the word “eighth” because we are not living in the eighth day. We haven’t even reached the 7th yet, which is what the Sabbath represents – see Hebrews 4.]. Call out the individual solemnities of the nations, and set them out into a row, they will not be able to make up a Pentecost. (Tertullian. On Idolatry, Chapter XIV, c. 155 – c. 240 AD)

Epiphanius, bishop of Salamis (c. 310–320 - 403AD) says that at Alexandria Aion's birth from Kore the Virgin was celebrated January 6: "On this day and at this hour the Virgin gave birth to Aion." The date, which coincides with Epiphany, brought new year's celebrations to a close, completing the cycle of time that Aion embodies...In Ptolemaic Alexandria (305 BC-30 BC), at the site of a dream oracle, the Hellenistic syncretic god Serapis was identified as Aion Plutonius. The epithet Plutonius marks functional aspects shared with Pluto, consort of Persephone and ruler of the underworld in the Eleusinian tradition. -wikipedia.org/wiki/Aion_(deity)

In the Eleusinian tradition, dating back to the 4th century BC, Persephone was taken to the underworld in the winter months, causing her goddess mother Demeter to withdrawal her blessing on the land so that it would get cold and nothing would grow, nothing but the evergreen and holly, of course, which are symbols in Norse and Germanic cultures of life even in the dead of winter. You can see this in the tradition of the Holly King and the Oak King, although much of these ancient traditions is only speculative. There is, however, enough glimpses into ancient tribal and pagan cultures to make an educated guess at what they were about.

A winter tradition resembling Yuletide is illustrated partly in Jeremiah 10. We see nature worship there and pagan winter holidays were clearly a long standing tradition before the book of Jeremiah was written. God told us not to worship as the heathen do. Do not declare a feast day unto Yahweh, and do not presume that God is pleased with your "holy" day. Holy = “apartness, set-apartness, separateness, sacredness.” Christians have inserted Christ into something Christ was not in to begin with.

“We have no superstitious regard for times and seasons. Certainly we do not believe in the present ecclesiastical arrangement called Christmas. First because we do not believe in any mass at all, but abhor it, whether it be sung in Latin or in English: Secondly, because we find no scriptural warrant whatever for observing any day as the birthday of the Savior; and consequently, its observance is a superstition, because not of divine authority. Superstition has fixed most positively the day of our Savior’s birth, although there in no possibility of discovering when it occurred. It was not till the middle of the third century that any part of the church celebrated the birth of our Lord; and it was not till long after the western Church had set the example, that the eastern adopted it. Because the day is not known. Probably the fact is that the “holy” days were arranged to fit in with the heathen festivals. We venture to assert that if there be any day in the year of which we may be pretty sure that it was not the day on which our Savior was born it is the 25th of December. Regarding not the day, let us give God thanks for the gift of His dear Son.” —C. H. Spurgeon Dec. 24, 1871 (Spurgeon, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, p. 697)

“No evidence remains about the exact date of the birth of Christ. The December 25 date was chosen as much for practical reasons as for theological ones. Throughout the Roman Empire, various festivals were held in conjunction with the winter solstice. In Rome, the Feast of the Unconquerable Sun celebrated the beginning of the return of the sun. When Christianity became the religion of the Empire, the church either had to suppress the festivals or transform them. The winter solstice seemed an appropriate time to celebrate Christ’s birth. Thus, the festival of the sun became a festival of the Son” (Holman Bible Dictionary, entry for Christmas)

The basic premise that appears to go back as far as Babylon and Egypt is this: In winter the sun shines its light the least compared to the rest of the year, essentially dying, and therefore everything else withers and dies, except the evergreen. Pantheists believe that “God” is in everything and that there are spirits in the evergreens which help them survive the winter. That is why they are central to this season and why they are brought indoors to be worshiped. You are bringing that "life" into your home as a symbol of... (What is all paganistic idolatry about?) Fertility. Fertility of the land and fertility of the womb to conceive. The holly wreath on your door is a symbol of the womb and the tree is the penis bringing life and the spark of light into it.

God told us not to worship as the heathen do. This is why I personally want nothing to do with Christmas and I find it difficult even to worship with those who do. They are inviting a spirit into their lives and their homes by participating in the holy-daze. This spirit stays around and invites others to come in.

When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.” Luke 11:24-26

You can unwittingly become an idolater by the works of your own hands and by this one can become possessed. What does the Bible say about associating with those who call themselves brethren but are idolaters?

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 1 Corinthians 5:11-12

It would behoove the "church" to consider exactly why they do what they do. Is your worship based on what God has shown you by the Holy Spirit or by vain traditions of men?

May Yahweh bless you and keep you by His Holy Spirit.

Avengers: Endgame - A Christian Perspective

I recently watched Avengers: Endgame and thought I would share a few observations. In writing this I am making the assumption that you have heard of the New World Order, Eugenics or at least know your Bible well enough to know when something stinks of evil no matter how well it is "disguised as an angel of light." I can't explain much of what is behind the NWO in this post so I will have to encourage you to do your own research for the time being. A good place to start would be heart4god.ws and these blogs:

https://parablesblog.blogspot.com/2019/08/marvel-comics-endgame.html
https://parablesblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/babalon-working.html

I would even recommend the longer documentaries on corbettreport.com (but please DO NOT take this as an endorsement for James' anarchist, activist ideologies. I merely think he has done a good job exposing the NWO.) If you find a term or reference that you don't know anything about feel free to comment or email me. I'd be happy to elaborate. OK, so with that out of the way let's jump right into the observations I made watching the last two Avengers movies.

In Endgame, Stark told Captain America that they should have put a shield around the planet, like he suggested to the team before Thanos came around. His suggestion, based on the Age of Ultron movie, was that technology can be used to protect humanity from evil. In fact, he, much like Elon Musk, believed that humanity's hope lies in merging with technology. That was his argument in Age of Ultron and how Vision came to be, the life form created by placing the mind stone (tesseract power) in his third eye (ie; forehead - see Revelation 13 for the mark of the beast. Also, the third eye is a new age/Hindu/Kabbalistic reference). One of the first things he said to the Avengers was, "I am not Ultron. I am not Jarvis. I am... I am." Anyone who knows their Bible will understand that reference. God told Moses in the burning bush to tell the people that, "I am that I am" sent him. Moreover, this was evocative of Sir Issac Newton's famous saying, "I think, therefore I am." This is the worship of the mind of which Vision is an idol. Vision, a being made from synthesized human tissue fused with vibranium and wielding the power of the mind stone, was declaring himself to be God. In fact, he, like Captain America, was worthy to pick up Thor's hammer. He picked it up like it was nothing.

Another thing I noticed was the comments about Captain America's back side. Stark made fun of his rear and Ant Man replied "that's America's ***" (rear, to keep this family-friendly). Later, CA fought himself and after defeating him, when his other self laid on the ground unconscious he paused to examine his own rear. He replied, "That IS America's ..." It was not just kitschy egotistical humor. Captain America is a statement about what every man should strive to be in America. He is an idol. This comment was meant to say that his back side was the ideal back side. It furthers the fleshly obsession with looks in this country. It's too bad that most people think this is "funny because it's true." It's actually quite condescending.

There was a shot of a bumper sticker placed inside the ship the Avengers fly around in that read, "Jarvis is my co-pilot." This gives further credence to the importance technology, particularly AI, is portrayed to play in our lives by these movies. It more than implies worship.

There was a reference to Jet Propulsion Labs right after a shot of Stark in his lab. JPL was founded by Jack Parsons, a knows Thelemic cultist who openly practiced sex magick. JPL is a part of NASA. If you read the blogs I posted links to just above you'll find more info on that. Basically, Stark was modeled after Jack Parsons, whose real name is Marvel Parsons. Coincidence?

There was a shot of a ship named "Churchill - Great Britain" shown just after they mentioned the strongest metal in the world. The sun never sets on the Babylo... I mean British Empire. I would elaborate on why I said that but it might take a whole book. Suffice to say GB still holds an important position of power in the New World Order, including massive influence in America.

Shortly after that Ultron said, "Upon this rock I will build my church. Vibranium." Do I need to say more about that? He was mocking the words of Christ speaking to Peter. Christ was speaking of faith. I know Ultron is the villain in this movie but using this line, as well as the multiple church scenes where Ultron is sitting on a throne is clearly an allusion to the Antichrist. The worst part is not that they wrote his character saying those words but that there is irony in them. People are blindly following a false Gospel today. How is Ultron defeated? By strange, supernatural powers, mostly obtained by playing around in a science lab. The "good" characters in this movie win by putting their faith in technological advancement and unity. That is the spirit of Babylon at work.

As Ultron was getting ready to fight the Avengers he said, "Captain America, God's righteous man, pretending you can live without a war." What an appropriate statement. Captain America is an idol, just like America's ideals are an idol, and "We the people" are being fooled into thinking we somehow bring more "peace and safety" to the world as avengers of liberty and freedom. This is far from the truth. America makes a lot of money from war and this country occupies more countries than any other. It has over 800 military bases in over 70 countries. No country has ever been so globally present, not by a long shot. Our leaders have led this country into wars based on false flag after false flag, and the people bought it in their self-righteousness. Dominion Theology has taken over here, not the Gospel of Yahshua Messiah.

Many aspects of this movie are making fun of Christianity in a way that is supposed to be acceptable in a "kitchy" way. I wonder if most Christians even realize that. Perhaps they think it is "humble" to laugh at themselves. Well, maybe they should, because most of what they teach is lies. The fact that these movies make billions is a testament to how this "majority Christian" country thinks. I'm almost ashamed that I paid $4 to rent it, but I didn't do it purely because I wanted to be entertained (although I suppose I do have a bit of guilty pleasure in watching this trash, which I admit is not great). I did it mostly because I am interested to see what the elite satanic ruling class are indoctrinating people with now, and what people are eating up like a good ol' apple pie.

One last note: Towards the end, Vision is speaking with Ultron, and he says, "Humans are odd. They think that order and chaos are somehow opposites and try to control what won't be, but there is grace in their failures."

Ultron says, "They're doomed."

Vision replies, "Yes, but a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts."

What a weird justification. Note that in the next movie half of humanity is killed by the power of the stones. The Bible, specifically Revelation, tells us a large percentage of people on earth are going to die in the tribulation. Have you heard of eugenics? It's not just an old philosophy from the early 20th century that died away. It's part of the technocratic agenda to steer humanity in the direction of positive progress (whatever that is).

Further, the statement about thinking order and chaos are separate is clearly Theosophical. Most satanists believe that order and chaos come from the same Source, and that there isn't really a such thing as right and wrong, good and bad. The ends justify the means. Everything that happens is for good, even bad. It's difficult to explain concisely, but duality is an integral part of most pagan belief systems.

Interestingly enough, at the end of Endgame, it is Iron Man, Tony Stark, the movie version of Jack Parsons, techno-sexual satanist, that saves the world and resurrects everyone, killing all the evil Thanos brought. He is the ultimate hero in the end, the one with such heart that he would give his life for his friends. A sneaky play on emotions. The moral of the story: Don't judge that egotistical, perverted, technocratic, transhumanist jerk of a person because he just might be the best thing that ever happened to humanity.

"Age of Ultron" and "Endgame" indeed. There's more I could point out but it's getting late. VERY late.

EDIT: OK so I decided to add some more the next day. Here's a few more thing I caught.

Demons are souls dispossessed of bodies. They can't stand to be without physical form. It's torture to them. Recall Legion in the Bible (Mark 5:1-20). When Yahshua came to them they begged Him to not cast them out but to let them go into the herd of swine nearby. They would rather occupy swine than be without form. Consider what Ultron said after his simulation was successful.

Ultron, "Where's my body? ...This feels weird. This feels Wrong."

Remember what Elon Musk said. "With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon."

Another NWO reference was to MK Ultra mind control, a well-known and documented government project from the 50's and 60's that experimented with ways to manipulate their subjects' minds. Two of which are seen in Romanoff and the Hulk. Romanoff uses mind control technique on Hulk. A typical method of triggering a person who has been programmed by mind control techniques is to say a very specific phrase them. This was portrayed in the movie "The Manchurian Candidate". The mother in the movie spoke a phrase to her son which triggered him into his assassination mode. Conversely, Romanoff uses this technique to calm the Hulk. When it's time she takes off her glove and says, "The sun's gettin' real low..." Then touches him in a specific way. The character Romanoff herself would well understand mind control since she was raised as a sort of Manchurian Candidate herself by the KGB. The Scarlet Witch is also Russian and is a supposed to be a symbol of how mind control can be a power for good or for evil. She starts off evil and supposedly turns good, at least "good" in the movie's rhetorical sense.

While we are speaking of women, it is no surprise that these, and majority of the women seen in these movies, are hypersexualized. Massive cleavage dominated prime shots throughout the movie. If you were watching you saw boobs sticking out of the tops of their clothes/costumes often. They also went to every effort to make sure Romanoff's rear end had ample screen time. I'm not looking for this stuff, it's just thrown in your face. It's why I wouldn't recommend anyone who is not on their guard to watch these movies. Certainly, PLEASE do not show them to your children.

My last observation is more of a question, because I don't know much about Russian history. I do know the Romanovs were the ruling family of Russia for at least a couple of hundred years. That ended in the early 1900's. I do wonder if there is some sort of reference or connection there, if the writer chose that name for a reason. Who knows? One thing I do know is that the last Russian Czar was a Romanov who was killed as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution, a topic well worth looking into but far too broad to touch on in this blog. It's almost too weird to know that one of the last things to happen in the lands Russian ruled in his time was the loss of Manchuria.

The Czar and his wife became very close with Siberian "holy man", Rasputin, who was famous for his healing powers, allegedly based on sex magick, but much of this is speculation. The ruling family were self-professed Orthodox Christians but when their son fell ill they turned to Rasputin to try and find a miracle. There are conflicting stories about whether Rasputin was really a holy man or a mystical shaman of sorts. Interestingly enough, the Bolshevik Jews imprisoned and killed the royal family. Rasputin was a known supporter of the Jewish cause in Russia as well as other humanitarian ideals. Something does smell fishy here but I can't say really what it is. Perhaps it is the "humanitarian" thing more than the rumors. Babylon is tyrannically humanitarian after all. This subject warrants research of its own because I can't intelligently comment on it.

Response to Alan Watts

The following is a response to the video below.



I have read the I Ching, Tao Te Ching, and many other religious works from Buddhism to Hinduism to Druidic Mysticism, Qaballa, Satanism, Wicca, etc, etc. I sought the truth in every path I could find. Nothing satisfied nor brought any lasting revelation. Then God started a work in my life and I found that the Bible is the most spiritually pure book I've ever encountered. Is it infallible? No. Man has made his mark on Scriptures, so much so that true Christianity has been lost over the millennia. One need only to read the warnings of Paul and John, and look what happened over the next 300 years to see that, especially Constantine and the apostate Council of Nicea essentially banning the true nature of "Christ" as described by Arius. Yahweh showed me that what we see today is a watered-down, spoon-fed version of Christianity that, yes, came out of the Catholic Church, the Mother of Harlots in Revelation. If she is the mother then who are the daughters that came out of her? What is said in this video about the Bible being a spiritual book is true. It must be spiritually discerned. The thing that really sets the Bible apart from other religious writings is the fact that, prophetically and parabolically speaking, God's voice can be discerned from its reading. No other books have described so many fulfilled prophesies and no other has foreshadowed the time in which we live more accurately. I was never taught anything with any depth in churches. That is why I walked away to begin with. Now, after so many years of searching and failing to find anything of substance, God dropped a massive weight of truth on me. AND IT BROKE ME.

"He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."

It's true that inspired holy men and prophets once wrote what was given to them, some by dictation, others by interpretation or documentation, and those men spoke the lingua franca of their time. It is no wonder that imagery and ideas from other cultures are expressed in it because universal wisdom is well, universal, and illustrative imagery is often regurgitated. I will say that wisdom comes from a source and it is a Divine Intelligence - a conscious being who interacts with us. "Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

The unique thing about Christianity is that we have a loving, albeit demanding Father, who has gone to every length to show us The Way. That is not the Buddhist "Way" but His true, narrow path to life, who is exemplified and encompassed in His Son, who has made certain the recompense of all to Him. That means the Lake of Fire is not eternal (it is age-long - look up "aion") and that Yahweh's judgment is always punitive for the purpose of being remedial. If we can come to see the light of truth that is only available in Him, and is accessible only in a proper understanding of the Bible by the Spirit of God, then we can rest in His peace, not a man-made "peace and safety" contrived from the syncretization or plagiarization of world religions, economies and politics into one cooperative whole (aka: Babylon). The vain philosophies of men like Alan Watts are the wide path to destruction and lead to the prophetic "mark of the beast" (no one can buy or sell unless they think and do as the beast, or ruling power, does). If you understand what is happening in the world today, in truth, then you will see that we are heading straight towards the New World Order "beast" system prophesied in Revelation (and clarified by Daniel). Things are not improving. We are not progressing. Things are getting worse. We are DIEgressing. This world is in a state of spiritual entropy and most will have to "pass through" the second death in order to come to the knowledge and acceptance of the truth, that we will all be one in Yahshua Messiah. "For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross." Colossians 1 "...but each in his own order..." 1 Corinthians 15.  There are 3 resurrections (as foreshadowed in the 3 appointed Jewish Feasts of Yahweh). The firstfruits "barley" (unleavened by sin), the harvest of the "wheat" which must be threshed and winnowed to be ground into flour, mixed with oil (of anointing) and baked in fire until all the yeast (sin) stops rising, and then the grapes which must be crushed - tread under foot - all to set the table for the marriage supper of the Lamb.

The Bible has more answers than all of the "holy" books of every other religion combined. That is simply the truth. Yet it must be rightly divided and discerned. Chew the cud for a while. Ruminate in prayer. Receive the true Gospel, the good news that Yahshua has made a clear path for man to holiness. That path is the most difficult path you will ever walk, yet "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Qaballistic pathworking, Buddhist fasting, meditation and self denial (although similar in some ways to what Christ taught) will not lead you to the truth. The truth is difficult but very simple. Die to yourself. Live in Yahshua. He IS the only Way.
