PROGRAM OF GOD

Old Testament Period: God made an everlasting covenant with David through his son, Solomon. God established a covenant with Israel for 70 weeks (of years); of these, 69 weeks (of years) have been fulfilled.

Tribulation/Great Tribulation: God's covenanted 70th week (7 years) of dealings with Israel will resume culminating in the return of Jesus Christ.

The Millennium: Jesus Christ will fulfill the promise of a new covenant with Israel after he returns and builds the Temple.

PROGRAM OF SATANIC DUPLICATION

Old Testament: King Solomon made a covenant of peace with Hiram, King of Tyre.

Church Age: False teachers claim that Daniel's 70th week has already been fulfilled or partially fulfilled (1st 3.5 years).

Tribulation: The Roman prince (the Pope) will confirm God's 70-week covenant with Israel, claiming that 3.5 years have already been fulfilled and only 3.5. years remain.

Great Tribulation: The Roman prince will remove the Temple sacrifice, claiming the end of Daniel's 70th week; the Antichrist will destroy the Roman prince, claim to be the messiah and do violence to God's covenant with Israel.

PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS   

    PROGRAM OF GOD

OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. - II Samuel 23:5

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Dan. 9:24-27

TRIBULATION / GREAT TRIBULATION

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Dan. 9:27

THE MILLENNIUM

...blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: for this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. - Ro.11:25-26

And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. - Hosea 2:18-20

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them...and I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them forever. - Ezek.37:26

Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. - Zech. 6:13

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

OLD TESTAMENT

...and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together. - I Kings 5:12

        CHURCH AGE

"On Dec. 30, 1993, the Fundamental Agreement between the Holy See and Israel was signed. It paved the way for diplomatic relations... There is a chance to open up a new era in Christian-Jewish relations; the next pope will not go back on that." - 212:125-6

"We trust that with the approach of the year 2000, Jerusalem will become the city of peace for the entire world and all the people will be able to meet there, in particular the believers in the religions that find their birthright in the faith of Abraham." - 72:83, quoting Pope John Paul II, Parade Magazine, 4/3/94

    "(Cardinal) Martini, meanwhile, has often expressed his desire to go to Jerusalem when he reaches 75 in February 2002. The latest confirmation came Sept. 8, when he presented his pastoral letter for 2001/2002 to the press.
    "'I have never made a mystery to the pope of my desire to retire to Jerusalem to dedicate myself to prayer and to the study of codexes and manuscripts,' said Martini, a noted Biblical scholar." - 444

"...Cardinal Martini of Milan, who is friendly towards Masonry,...is promoting himself as the next Pope." - 70:11

"Finally, the Illuminati is so interested in promoting the welfare of Israel at the expense of the Arabs because they fully plan to rebuild Solomon's Temple on the Temple Mount! To secure the safety and welfare of this new Masonic Temple -- Antichrist's Temple -- the Illuminati is more than willing to annihilate all Muslims."

"...Christ's ministry does not last only three and a half years, but it will last for seven years, because Daniel declares that He will confirm His covenant for one 'week'. It is quite understandable then that He promised us another three-and-a-half-year period in which the Kingdom will be manifested. He did precisely that by saying that the gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world for a 'witness' to all nations just before the end (Mt. 24:14). That 'witness' lasts 1,260 days, or three and a half years, according to Revelation 11. So the covenant will be confirmed, or fulfilled again at the end of the Church Age, for another period of three and a half years." - 813:192

        TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

And he [the Roman prince] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Dan.9:27

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant... For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant... And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. - Dan. 11:21,22,30,32

"The Sicambrian Franks, from whose female line the Merovingians emerged, were associated with Grecian Arcadia before migrating to the Rhineland. As we have seen, they called themselves the NEWMAGE -- 'People of the New Covenant', just as the Essenes of Qumran had once been known." - 29:175

 

    "...Once the URO is created, they predict, it will be given the task of creating a 'New Covenant' for the planet:
    "'The URO...will discern the nature of that covenant, and with it the responsibilities, rather than the rights, of planetary citizenship.' In other words these paid prophets of the new world order would be called upon to keep restive religionists in line...'" - 70:11, quoting William N. Grigg

 "When in 1780 Lessing expounded his grand vision of a progressive illumined human race, in his On the Education of the Human Race, he proclaimed: 'It will assuredly come! the time of the new eternal Gospel which is promised us in the Primer of the New Testament itself... Perhaps even some enthusiasts of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries had caught a glimpse of a beam of this new eternal Gospel, and only erred in that they predicted its outburst as so near to their own time. Perhaps their 'Three Ages of the World' were not so empty of speculation after all, and assuredly they had no contemptible views when they taught that the New Covenant must become as antiquated as the Old had been... Only they were premature.' Lessing's phrase 'The Three Ages of the World' taken in conjunction with the term 'Eternal Evangel', identifies these medieval 'enthusiasts' securely as Joachites." 256:60-1

"The new covenant is a remaking of the human spirit, which had decayed, back to its original state... Thus it is a covenant creating a union between humanity and the divinity that makes humanity possess God and vice versa. It establishes an identity between humanity and God by which everything is held in common between them, apart from the difference of nature. The creature remains a creature and the Creator remains the Creator, but all the rest is common. So the identification takes place of which Paul speaks: 'It is no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me.' Gal. 2:20. The deification which is the aim of all religious life takes place... God's direct action in human hearts [is] transforming and deifying... [I]n the new covenant...humanity becomes divine and God becomes human." (Carlo Cardinal Martini) - 443:55,42

 PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS

    PROGRAM OF GOD

OLD TESTAMENT

He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. - II Sam. 7:13

THE MILLENNIUM

After this I will return and build the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof and I will set it up. - Acts 15:16

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old." - Amos 9:11

And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. - Is. 16:5

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them ...and I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them forever, My tabernacle shall also be with them: yea I will be their God, and they shall be My people, And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. - Ezek.37:26-28

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. - Is.2:2-3

At the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons. - Ezek.46:1-3

NEW HEAVENS & NEW EARTH

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. - Rev. 21:3

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. - Rev.21:22

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

    The Roman prince (Pope) will commission a Millennial Temple or Tabernacle of David to be built at the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation period.  At mid-point of the 7 years, he shall cause the sacrifice to cease, due to the placement of the abomination of desolation (See: Abomination of Desolation/Obelisk 24.D) in the Holy Place. (See: A Sacred Assembly*)
    However, the Freemasons desire to build the Temple of Pallas/Pan at a sacred site in the territory of Dan (See: Mount Zion/Sion/Hermon/Panias 10.D). They may attempt to build Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, however the earthquake foretold in Rev. 11:13 will justify their abandonment of Jerusalem in order to build a temple at Dan. Although the Freemasons will claim that the temple is a "Christian" temple, and not a Jewish temple, they will dedicate the temple to Pallas, the Greek god/goddess sea-beast (Rev.13:1) from which the name 'Palestine' derives. (See: Beast out of the Sea/Pan 11.A)

See: The Lost Tribe of Dan*

        PRE-FLOOD ERA

"Surrounded by golden railings the heart of the great temple [of Atlantis] was an untrodden inner sanctum sacred to the memory of Poseidon and his spouse Clito. It thus symbolized 'the very place where the race of the ten princes had been first conceived and begotten'...[who were] the ten founding princes of Atlantis." - 637:61

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. - I Kings 12:26-32

 

    And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest...

    And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate. And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war. And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image...

    And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire. And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein. And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first. And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land. And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. - Judges 17:5, 18:16-18,27-31

 

"In the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon lies Baalbek. If this identification is correct then Baalbek was inside the Israelite kingdom... Baalbek...was venerated in the Roman world as the place of an old cult of an ancient oracle, and it rivalled successfully other venerated temples of the Roman Empire... Macrobius in his Saturnalia wrote of Baalbek: 'This temple is also famous for its oracles.'...

"Was it the ancient oracle of Micah? In the words of Jeremiah, shortly before the Babylonian exile of -586 in which he spoke of 'a voice . . . from Dan', we had the last biblical reference to the oracle of Micah.

"In the Tractate Pesahim of the Babylonian Talmud is written the following sentence: 'The image of Micah stands in Bechi.' Bechi is known as the Hebrew name for Baalbek in the time of the Talmud. As we have seen, in the Book of Exodus it is recounted that the Danites, migrating to the North, took with them Micah and his idol, and that it was placed in Dan of the North. The Talmud was composed between the second and the fifth centuries of the present era.

"This passage in the Tractate Pesahim is a strong argument for the thesis of this essay, namely that Baalbek is the ancient Dan." - 287

But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.- Amos 5:26

Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. - Acts 7:42,43

        CHURCH AGE

“In 1118, nine Knights Crusaders in the East, among whom were Geoffroi de Saint-Omer and Hugues de Payens, consecrated themselves to religion, and took an oath between the hands of the Patriarch of Constantinople, a See always secretly or openly hostile to that of Rome from the time of Photius. The avowed object of the Templars was to protect the Christians who came to visit the Holy Places: their secret object was the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon on the model prophesied by Ezekiel. This re-building, formally predicted by the Judaizing Mystics of the earlier ages, had become the secret dream of the Patriarchs of the Orient. The Temple of Solomon, re-built and consecrated to the Catholic worship would become, in effect, the Metropolis of the Universe; the East would prevail over the West, and the Patriarchs of Constantinople would possess themselves of the Papal power." - 552 "The Johannite Legend of the Templars"

 

"Ramsey, emphasized that Freemasonry had its beginnings in the Holy Land, among 'the Crusaders': 'At the time of the Crusades in PALESTINE many princes, lords, and citizens associated themselves and vowed to restore THE TEMPLE OF THE CHRISTIANS in the Holy Land, and to employ themselves in bringing back their architecture to its first institution."' - 106:189

    "The left-hand pillar of King Solomon's Temple was called Boaz, who, as any Freemason knows, was the great-great grandfather of David, king of Israel.  For the Qumranians too, this was the kingly pillar that stood for the house of David and the concept of 'mishpat'.  This is often translated as 'judgement', but it stood for more than that; it signified the regular rule of Yahweh as king, and so represented the divinely appointed order itself.

    "The rule of government and the dispensing of justice were always connected with this pillar: it was at Mizpah (another spelling of mishpat) that Jacob erected his first pillar, and it was here that Saul was acclaimed the first king of Israel.

    "When these two spiritual pillars are in place with the Teacher of Righteousness (tsedeq) on the left hand of God and the earthly Davidic King (mishpat) on his right hand, the archway of Yahweh's rule will be in place with the keystone of 'shalom' locking everything together at its centre. This Jewish term is perhaps the most famous of all Hebrew words, understood the world over as a form of greeting that means 'peace', the state of not being at war; but needless to say it had a far more complex import for the Jews of the Bible. For the Qumranians shalom meant much more than just peace -- it involved good fortune, prosperity, victory in war, and general good fortune and well-being. But 'shalom' was not a free gift -- it had to be won by establishing the Rule of Yahweh, which meant establishing a moral order of government, supported by both the kingly and priestly pillars.

    "The whole essence and mission of the Qumran Community was made comprehensible to its senior members through this symbolism, which they wrote down as per the midrashic instructions of Moses and buried under Herod's Temple, later to be rediscovered by the Knights Templar.

    "Freemasons have inherited the symbols but have lost the meaning along the way. When the Qumranians knew that the 'end of the age' was drawing near, the need to find the people who were fit to be these pillars became urgent, because God could not destroy the old order until the new framework was in place. Because these positions were 'designate' rather than immediately available, due to the Roman occupation and the false high priesthood in Jerusalem, the candidates were called messiahs; essentially, leaders in waiting.

    "The more we discovered of the Qumranian 'pillar' paradigm, the more certain we became that their ceremonies had to be the forerunners of Freemasonry today. We became particularly excited when we looked into the remains of Qumran and found that they had erected an imitation Temple entrance with their own copies of the pillars of Boaz and Jachin. These two pillar bases still exist outside the east door of a vestry that leads to what is often referred to as Qumran's 'Holy of Holies'. We could not believe that it was mere coincidence that the only two pillar bases found in the ruins of the whole settlement are either side of the eastern gate to their substitute place of worship.  These two pillars must have been the location for the all-important initiation ceremony of senior members and the aspiration for the two messiahs that would come shortly before the 'end of the age'." - 162:208-9

"Elias Ashmole and William Lilly founded a Rosicrucian lodge in London in 1646 based upon...the rebuilding of Solomon's temple as revered in the Templar tradition." 25:56-7

"...[Isaac Newton] drew a reconstructed floor plan of the Temple of Solomon." - 242:139

"...Margaret Wertheim, author of a history of God and physics [wrote], 'Isaac Newton who spent years trying to decipher Old Testament prophecies, believed he had found the true dimensions of the Temple of Solomon meant to be an earthly embodiment of heaven..." - 409

 

"...Rosslyn Chapel, built on a site of sacred significance since the Stone Age, once used by the Druids as the oracle , was the supreme centre of initiation in pre-Renaissance Western Europe...

     "Rosslyn was not a simple chapel; it was a post-templar shrine built to house the scrolls found by Hugues de Payen and his team under the Holy of Holies of the last Temple at Jerusalem!

    "Both classes of craftsmen must have been aware that they were rebuilding King Solomon's Temple for some strange reason (although it was actually Herod's Temple)." - 266:193,312

    "'The [Masonic] lodge is a representation of King Solomon's Temple and the Temple was calculated to symbolize the maternal human body, wherein the candidate must enter to be born again...

"...a Masonic book, The Historical Landmarks and Other Evidences of Freemasonry, declares...

"'The two pillars...represent two imaginary columns, supposed to be placed at the equinoces (sic) to support the heavens... The one on the left is called Boaz, and indicates Osiris, or the sun, the one on the right is called Jachin, and designates Isis, the symbol both of the earth and its productions, and of the moon.'" - 39:338-9

 

"The Solstices, Cancer and Capricorn, the two Gates of Heaven, are the two pillars of Hercules beyond which he, the Sun, never journeyed: and they still appear in our lodges as the two great columns, Jachin and Boaz, and also as the two parallel lines that bound the circle with a point in the centre, emblem of the Sun, between the two tropics of Cancer and Capricorn." - 155:506

 

"The Sun-god is born at midwinter when the Sun is weakest and has attained his most southerly station; therefore, his representative, the Sun-King, is killed at the summer solstice when the Sun attains his most northerly station." - 406:111

"Every true Mason...realizes that the Temple of Solomon is really the Temple of the Solar Man—Sol-Om-On—the King of the Universe..." - 678:63

"The Masons covet the Temple mount site of Solomon's Temple because their mythology has the organization being established by one Hiram, the Mason who supposedly built the Temple 3000 years ago." - 216:169  

“In 1836, [Zevi] Kalischer appealed to Mayer Amschel (...Rothschild) to buy out completely the land of Israel or at least Jerusalem and particularly the Temple area in order to ‘bring about the miraculous redemption from below’. Zevi Kalischer said the salvation promised by the prophets of old could come only gradually and by self-help from the Jews.” - 211:63

        TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

"This command to measure the Temple of God [Rev. 11:1] makes John the actor as well as the observer. The Temple of God (Gr., naon tou theou) refers to the Holy Place, the Holy of Holies, not the outer court of the Temple." - 349:176

"The Temple May Be About To Be Rebuilt! Christians the world over who know their prophecy, understand that Antichrist is going to rebuild his Temple -- Matthew 24:15. An Israeli fundamentalist organization called 'The Temple Mount Faithful' is leading the fight to get that Temple rebuilt. They believe they are building a Temple for their Jewish Messiah, but we Christians know that Temple will be for Antichrist.

"Last week, really exciting news came out of Jerusalem that possibly indicated the closeness of the hour. For the first time in history, the President of Israel, Moshe Katzav, asked the Prime Minister of the Vatican, Cardinal Angelo Sudano, to prepare a list of all the Temple treasures, vessels and Judaica that are being held by the Vatican. The goal is that one day soon Israel would recover them from the Vatican and return them to Jerusalem which would indicate the beginning of the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and the redemption of the people and land of Israel." - 699

"Burn the holy images no longer; demolish the temples no more; temples and images are necessary for men; but drive the hirelings from the house of prayer; let the blind be no longer leaders of the blind, reconstruct the hierarchy of intelligence and holiness, and recognize only those who know as the teachers of those who believe." (Annie Besant) - 455:81

"The Holy of Holies, or Inner Sanctuary, in Solomon's Temple was deemed to represent the womb of Ashteroth (alternately Asherah as mentioned several times in the Old Testament). ...The divine marital chamber was the sanctuary of the Jerusalem Temple..." - 29:17-18

"Does anyone today think of the temple's Holy of Holies as the bridal chamber, symbolic of the human psyche, where the eternal Bridegroom is united with this Bride?" - 892:61

"The inhabitants of Canaan were addicted to Baal [Sun] worship which was conducted by priests in temples and in good weather outdoors and fields and particularly on hill tops called 'high places'. The cult included animal sacrifice, ritualistic meals, and licentious dances. Near the rock altar was a sacred pillar, or masseba, and close by was the symbol of the Ashera [star], both of which symbolized human fertility. High places had chambers for sacred prostitution by male prostitutes (qedeshim) and sacred harlots (qedishot) (I Kings 14:23-24; II Kings 23:7). The gaiety and licentious character of Baal worship always had a subtle attraction for the austere Hebrews bound to serve a holy God under a rigorous moral code." - 299:485

And he (the Roman prince) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease... - Dan.9:27

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

“The Lion that guarded the Ark and held in his mouth the key wherewith to open it, figuratively represents Solomon, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, who preserved and communicated the key to the true knowledge of God, of His laws, and of the profound mysteries of the moral and physical Universe... The lion [ארי, אריה, Arai, Araiah, which also means the altar] still holds in his mouth the key of the enigma of the sphynx.” (Albert Pike, Morals & Dogma) - 155:210

See: The Revelation of the Antichrist as the Second Coming of Solomon

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. - II Thes. 2:3-4

"The earliest writings about this society...known as the Brotherhood or Order of the Rosy Cross, began to circulate in Europe around...1605. They were contained in a manuscript called 'THE RESTORATION OF THE DECAYED TEMPLE OF PALLAS'." - 25:44

"...it was the Arcadian legacy that was responsible for the mysterious sea beast - the Bistea Neptunis - as symbolically defined in the Merovingian ancestry. The relevant sea-lord was King PALLAS, a god of old ARCADIA." - 29:175

...Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread underfoot forty and two months. - Rev.11:1-2

"After listening to you say Mt. Hermon was on the 33rd parallel AND 33rd meridian, I got on GoogleEarth and decided to look around the area to see what I could find.  (You know, GoogleEarth is satellite pictures of the entire earth, and you can navigate to anywhere you want to go and zoom in on your target.)  I was disappointed to find that it was out in the middle of the Mediterranean. 

"Sometime later, I heard you say that the area was what is now the Golan Heights.  So, I started scanning the area around the 33rd parallel in the Golan Heights area.  Then I decided to 'refine' my search, so I scanned around until I was at 33° 33' latitude (33° 33')!  As I was looking over the terrain from a fairly good height (about 13.5 miles eye altitude), I saw a small white 'dot' below... At that height, it was obvious that it was a very large structure!

"I zoomed in on the white dot, and it looked like a rather large building up on the very top of a mountain, with several roads going around the area. Wow!  Then, a few days later as I was re-listening to one of your audios, I heard you say that the ancient longitude was from the Paris meridian, not Greenwich, and that there was a 2.5° difference, which would make the longitude 35.5° instead of 33° on  our Greenwich meridian.  I eagerly got back on GoogleEarth and found my white "dot" on 33° 33' 13"....and would you believe that the longitude was 35.5°!    

"I feel that this large structure on the 33.33° parallel and the ancient 33° longitude must be a large pagan - Masonic - whatever - temple!" - 1106

'Temple' to be built in the north
Eitan Glickman

"A 25-meter-tall (82 feet) replica of Solomon's temple in ancient Jerusalem to be built in northern city of Kiryat Shemoneh. Project will cost 8 million dollars to build, become main feature of city's Bible World amusement park
    "Not quite the Third Temple, but close: Entrepreneurs in the northern city of Kiryat Shemoneh are making plans to build a 'Holy Temple' as part of a soon-to-be established Bible World amusement park.

"Like the original in Jerusalem, the model structure will tower over its surroundings, reaching a height of 25 meters (82 feet) and will be an exact replica of Solomon's temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE.

"'Time tunnels' will offer descriptions of the different periods of Jewish history, and will lead visitors to the main hall, which will feature murals depicting Biblical stories.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to "meet" three heroes of the Bible: Abraham, Moses and King David.

Is the Bible 'disappearing' from consciousness?

"Overseeing the project is Chabad rabbi of Kiryat Shemoneh, Yigal Tsipori, who toured the site Wednesday with Mayor Chaim Barbibai and other local rabbis.
    "'The 'Book of Books,' the cradle of Jewish civilization, is increasingly disappearing from our national consciousness. Limited study is no longer sufficient to attract young people of today to the Bible and its values. Therefore, there is a great need for this initiative,' said Tsipori.
    "The 'Temple' will use 3-D movies and other tools to show young people just how things worked in the Holy Temple and just what the priests (Cohanim) did,' he added.
    "The park will also feature a Biblical textile mill and wine press, and will host Bar and Bat Mitzvah receptions.
400,000 visitors expected
    "The park's founders say they hope to attract 400,000 visitors annually to the park, including local Israeli youths and young people from the Diaspora.
    "The project, to be located near the Nehemia Mall in Kiryat Shemoneh, is expected to cost USD 8 million (NIS 38 million) and employ several dozen workers.
    "Several donors have already been lined up to fund the project." - 1107

Pre-Flood Era: Nimrod built a tower to heaven at Babel; Obelisks were prominent in Atlantis.

Old Testament Period: Obelisks were pagan symbols of Sun worship; Israel set up obelisks at Solomon's Temple.

Church Age: The Prieuré de Sion claims to possess Temple treasures such as the Bethel stone which is an obelisk.

Tribulation: There will be false teaching that the Pope is the Abomination of Desolation; the pope will cause the sacrificial offerings to cease, laying the groundwork for the erection of the obelisk.

Great Tribulation: The Antichrist will set up an obelisk in the Temple of Solomon and use the site of the obelisk for beheading and phallic worship.

PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS

   

    PROGRAM OF GOD

OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it... And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee... I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred...

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him... And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon...

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. - Gen. 28:18-22; 31:13,45,51-2; 35:9-14; 35:19-20

And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and he called the name thereof Boaz. - I Kings 7:21

CHURCH AGE

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. - Mt. 16:18

To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,  And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. - I Pet. 2:4-8

 

Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. - Rom. 9:32-33
 

THE MILLENNIUM

And I will cut off WITCHCRAFTS out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: thy GRAVEN IMAGES also will I cut off, and thy STANDING IMAGES (pillars) out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard . - Mic. 5:12-15

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

The "abomination of desolation" will be an obelisk - a phallic symbol used in Sun worship - that is set upon the altar in the Holy Place, thereby causing the sacrifice to come to an end. Throughout Church history, the obelisk has been erected as a symbol of the triumph of Paganism over Christianity. There are other abominations that will be set up in the temple/tabernacle and also cause it to be desolated. These abominations will be presented to Israel as being part of the "restored Temple treasures", but in reality they are occult artifacts--possibly even some that were connected with the pagan Pan/Baal worship in Solomon's Temple  (Ezekiel 8) and at Dan/Mt. Hermon. Among these artifacts will be a pagan cornerstone, an omphalos that will be Satan's throne, the Stone of Destiny, which they will claim is Jacob's Pillar, obelisks, and other objects. It's difficult to say which of these will be placed upon the altar and become the "abomination of desolation" as all are abominations connected to the restored Pan/Baal phallic worship in Jerusalem. See: Phallic Worship 21.G; The Beast (Pan) 11.A

        PRE-FLOOD ERA

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. - Gen. 11:1-4

"The third treasure item from Atlantis mentioned by Plato, but no less inspiring than the first two, would be the the 'Obelisk of Laws' - on which were engraved certain commandments, that stood at the center acropolis." - 814

 

The Pillars of Atlantis

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

"Sheva's symbol is the lingam or phallos. Sheva speaks: 'I am not distinct from the phallos. The phallos is identical with me. It draws my faithful to me and therefore must be worshipped. Wherever there is an upright male organ, I, myself, am present, even if there is no other representation of me... The phallos is...the symbol of the god.' This is Cosmic Christ language..." - 180:176

    "In Our Phallic Heritage we are told that 'All pillars or columns originally had a phallic significance, and were therefore considered sacred.' Pan, the goat god and god of sensuality, was often represented as an obelisk.

    "A former witch gives some interesting information about the obelisk. He writes:

        "'The obelisk is a long pointed four-sided shaft, the uppermost portion of which forms a pyramid. The word 'obelisk' literally means 'Baal's Shaft' or Baal's organ of reproduction. This should be especially shocking when we realize that we have a gigantic obelisk in our nation's capital known as the Washington Monument.'" - 39:341

 

"As early as 3500 B.C. the Egyptians began building slender, tapering, four-sided obelisks which served as timepieces. The moving shadow of the obelisk formed a type of sundial, and markers arranged about the base separated the day into divisions as well as indicating the longest and shortest days of the year." - 1125

Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry...

 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city. - Ezek. 8:5, 9:4-7

   "Artemis. The goddess known among the Greeks as Artemis and among the Romans as Diana.... She was undoubtedly a representative of the same power presiding over conception and birth that was adored in Palestine under the name Ashtoreth... Her temple at Ephesus was one of the wonders of the world, but its greatest glory was the 'image which fell down from heaven' (Acts 19:35).
    "Asherah. Other names of this deity were Ashtoreth (Astarte) and Anath. In the O.T. Asherah appears as a goddess by the side of Baal, whose consort she eventually came to be, at least among the Canaanites of the south... Her cult object, whatever it was, was utterly detestable to faithful worshippers of Yahweh (I King 15:13) and was set up on the high places beside the 'altars of incense'...and the 'PILLARS'... Indeed, the 'STONE PILLARS' seems to have represented the male god, Baal (cf. Judg. 6:28), while the cult objects of Asherah, probably a tree or pole, constituted a symbol of this goddess..." [ed., Druids absorbed Canaanite religion]
    "Ashtoreth. Her cult even presented a danger of pollution to early Israel (Judg. 2:13; 10:6); Solomon succumbed to her voluptuous worship (1 Kings 11:5; 2 Kings 22:13)." - 299:483-5

        CHURCH AGE

"M. Plantard...declared...that the Prieuré de Sion did in fact hold the lost treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem - the booty plundered by Titus' Roman legions in AD 70. Those items, he stated, would be 'returned to Israel when the time is right'." - 31:225

"According to Masonic tradition, the Knights of St Andrew were the inheritors of an Order established in 586 BC. They were the Temple Guard of Jerusalem, who were gathered by the High Priest Hilkiah before the Temple of Solomon was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Their task at that time was to secrete the treasure from the invader, and to carry away certain items of express significance. This was, of course, the very year when the sacred Stone of Destiny found its way to Ireland with the prophet Jeremiah." - 92:63

See: A Sacred Assembly*

"The two granite obelisks were originally entrance pillars to the temple at Heliopolis, but were moved to Alexandria in 12 B.C., and then to London and New York in 1878 and 1881 respectively." - 29:267

"Just as ancient sites such as Stonehenge are aligned to the positions of the sun and moon, the same is true of the Washington Monument. For example, for example, the line of sight for the winter solstice can be established from the top of the monument to the southeast, down Virginia Avenue." - 42:247

TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

"Gerad [de Borgo Sandonino] predicted that the 'Abomination of Desolation'...would occur in the form of an evil pope... This idea of the Pope as Antichrist would become part of the essential rhetoric of the Reformation." - 308:50

"In other eighteenth-century Masonic rites there are repeated references to the 'ROCK OF SION'... Given their preoccupation with the Temple of Jerusalem ...they refer one to specific passages of the Bible...a particular stone overlooked or unjustifiably neglected during the building of the Temple, which must subsequently be retrieved and incorporated as the structure's keystone." - 31:185

"The omphalos is a white phallic stone, rounded at the top, which represents the center of the world. It is the throne of a superhuman presence. The cosmic omphalos, which represents the male principle, is the opposite of the cosmic egg, which signifies the female principle... The CORNERSTONE of the Ark of the Covenant in Jerusalem, ever visible near Christ's tomb, was an OMPHALOS. In Hebrew tradition, in the Sephir Bahir, the phallus is compared to the righteous, who, like a column, are both the foundation and the support that insures equilibrium between Heaven and Earth. Life rests upon a phallus just as the universe rests upon a column." - 102:33,34

"In 1889 Peladan...claimed to have discovered Jesus' tomb - not at the traditional site of the Holy Sepulchre but under the Mosque of Omar, formerly part of the Templars' enclave." - 31:155

"The idea of Jerusalem as a 'navel' is reflected in Jewish Midrashim: '... The Holy One... began the world from its navel. Where is its navel? Jerusalem. And its [Jerusalem's navel] itself? The altar'. Cults at earth-navel sites often involved serpent imagery, chthonian rites, and, at least covertly, sexual symbolism. Accordingly, some scholars allege that SNAKE WORSHIP ... MALE PROSTITUTION, and androgyny were all to be found at Delphi and other Greek earth-navel shrines as well as at JERUSALEM. Furthermore, sexual symbolism connected with fertility rites would be appropriate at a shrine which claimed to be at the center of the world and its point of origin." - 95:622 ("Navel of the Earth")

And he [the Roman prince] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of ABOMINATIONS he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Dan.9:27

 

    "William St. Clair himself masterminded the whole construction of [Rosslyn Chapel] from its inception to his own death in 1484, just two years before its completion; furthermore, he personally supervised every tiny detail of the work...

    "The great light of truth about the building suddenly seemed so blindingly obvious: Rosslyn Chapel was not a chapel at all, it was not even really Christian! For a start, there is NO ALTAR... In fact one of the objections King James VI raised to this Earl of Rosslyn, as Grand Master of the Masons, was that he had had his children baptised at Rosslyn which was not a Christian place of worship.

    "The more we looked, the more obvious this fact became. The symbolism is Egyptian, Celtic, Jewish, Templar and Masonic in profusion. A star-studded ceiling, vegetative growths coming from the mouths of the Celtic Green Men, entangled pyramids, images of Moses, towers of Heavenly Jerusalem, engrailed crosses as well as squares and compasses...

    "Rosslyn was not a simple chapel; it was a post-templar shrine built to house the scrolls found by Hugues de Payen and his team under the Holy of Holies of the last Temple at Jerusalem!

    "Both classes of craftsmen must have been aware that they were rebuilding King Solomon's Temple for some strange reason (although it was actually Herod's Temple)." - 266:304-6,312

"...as it is said in Hermes, 'Satan is the door-keeper of the Temple of the King; he standeth in Solomon's porch; he holdeth the key of the Sanctuary, that no man enter therein, save the Anointed having the arcanum of Hermes'...[I]n the Kabala...the 'Anointed' who has the secrets and mysteries of Hermes, and who alone is entrusted with the key to the 'Sanctuary', the Womb of nature in order to fructify it... has become, with the Jews, Jehovah, the God of Generation...The 'Sanctuary' has become the 'Holies of Holies', and the arcanum has been anthropomorphised and PHALLICISED and dragged down into matter." - 209:233-4

"At the eastern end of the Champs Elysees is the Place de la Concorde (Square of Peace). This square was built during the 1700s. Within it [is] the obelisk of Luxor, a stone pillar from Egypt during the French Revolution [1789-1799], a guillotine [beheading machine] stood in the square. Hundreds of people, including Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were executed on it." - 215 ("Paris")

        GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

...and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the ABOMINATION that maketh desolate. - Dan.11:31

When ye therefore shall see the ABOMINATION of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, STAND IN THE HOLY PLACE (whoso readeth, let him understand:) then let them which be in Judea-flee into the mountains. - Matt. 24:15-16

...and from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the ABOMINATION THAT MAKETH DESOLATE set up, there shall be (1290) days. Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the (1335) days. - Dan. 12:11-12

"The keys to the biblical miracles of old, and to the phenomena of modern days; the problems of psychology, physiology, and the many 'missing links' which have so perplexed scientists of late, are all in the hands of secret fraternities. This mystery must be unveiled some day…The answers are there. They may be found on the time worn granite pages of cave-temples, on sphinxes, propylons, and obelisks. They have stood there for untold ages, and neither the rude assault of time, nor the still ruder assault of Christian hands, have succeeded in obliterating their records…. And so stand these monuments like mute forgotten sentinels on the threshold of that unseen world, whose gates are thrown open but to a few elect…they will disclose their riddles to none but the legates of those by whom they were entrusted with the MYSTERY. The cold, stony lips of the once vocal Memnon, and of these hardy sphinxes, keep their secrets well. Who will unseal them? Who of our modern, materialistic dwarfs and unbelieving Sadducees will dare to lift the VEIL of Isis?" (H.P. Blavatsky) - 394:376

    "The Egyptian obelisk has been adopted as a symbol of Masonic victory over traditional Christianity and, once recognized, serves as a very useful guide. In Egypt, the obelisk was a phallic symbol of the resurrection through procreation, that is, the phallus was the means by which man lived again through his off-spring. Thus, as a symbol of the resurrection the obelisk has been used as a grave marker by the Masons, particularly those in the senior ranks, since the sixteenth century. It seems that the bodies of most of the English humanist thinkers gravitated to Westminster Abbey in London and the place fairly bristles with obelisk tomb markers. A few cemetery obelisks will contain a Masonic square and compass to leave no doubt as to the connection but it will be found that the personal graves of many an influential man is topped by an obelisk: the grave of George Washington and of Sir John A. MacDonald, first prime minister of Canada, are classic examples. The craft Masons also tend to use the broken column as their marker but very seldom will the empty cross be found marking a Masonic grave.

    "As far as their use as victory markers, an obelisk was erected to mark the battle of the River Boyne in Northern Ireland where Protestant William of Orange defeated Catholic King James II in 1690. There is no evidence that William II was a Mason but the obelisk was erected in the following century to celebrate the victory of Protestantism over Catholicism. The Masonic organization has always opposed the Roman Church while the Roman Pontiffs have known this and have forbidden their people to join the Masonic Order. In recent years, however, Masons have infiltrated the Vatican and there now seems to be some sort of unholy alliance. The largest stone obelisk in the United States is the 550 ft. tall Washington Monument purportedly to commemorate George Washington's birth place. There was a great scandal when it was erected because it was done so at public expense and the people of the time knew its real purpose was to commemorate Masonic victory over King George III and even victory over Christianity itself in 1776. The monument was completed in 1884. Various other victories, real and perceived, will be found to be marked by obelisks such as that at Bunker Hill in Charleston. The French Revolution was even more successful than the American and they had to have an even larger obelisk to celebrate their victory. There is a genuine obelisk stolen from Egypt to mark the victory of the Bastille in Paris and then there is the daddy of them all, the Eiffel Tower, just twice as tall as the Washington Monument and completed in time for the centenary celebrations in 1889.

    "These victory markers will be found world-wide and enquiry will usually show that the loser in the battle will have been some sort of Christianity while the victory will have been a significant step towards the establishment of a Republic. For example, on a hill in Sicily there is an obelisk to commemorate the Masonic victory at Gibilrossa under Garibaldi (A Grand Orient Mason) in 1860 which led to today's Italian Republic." - 507

 

"Today, Freemasons still use a stylized resurrection ritual to raise a candidate from his 'grave' in order to make him a fully fledged Master Mason. This is done in darkness, in front of Boaz and Jachin, two eastward facing pillars that stood at the entrance of the Jerusalem Temple." - 96:5

 

"These spiritual pillars were, of course, the descendants of the pillars of the united Upper and Lower Egypt that had come down to the Community as the legendary Boaz and Jachin that had adorned the eastern gate of Solomon's Temple... The right-hand pillar is known to Freemasons as 'Jachin', who was the first high priest of the Temple, and therefore it will come as no surprise to learn that this is the priestly pillar which for the Qumranians was the embodiment of holiness embodied in the fundamental concept of 'tsedeq'." - 162:166,206-7

PERSONAL APPLICATION

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. - Acts 17:29

I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. - Exodus 20:2-5

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. - Lev. 26:1

In that I command thee this day to love the LORD they God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thin heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess. - Deut. 30:16-18

And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king. The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon: And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon. Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. - I Kings 1:32-35

And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king... And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard. - I Kings 1:43,45

THE MILLENNIUM

And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity... And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed... But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. - Ezek. 44:10,13,15,16

    PROGRAM OF SATAN

The Merovingian Priest-King [Antichrist] and the Essene priests will claim to be the Sons of Zadok of the Order of Melchizedek (Melki-Zadok).  Following the idolatrous ways of their model, King Solomon, the Essene priests will reintroduce Baal/Astoreth worship in the rebuilt Temple. In the final stages of this deception, the Essene priests and Temple prostitutes will claim to be the reincarnated High Priests and Priestesses of Atlantis sent to inaugurate the Age of the Spirit, i.e., the Golden Age .

    PRE-FLOOD ERA

 "Other souls [from Atlantis] drifted off into 'the deep sleep,' holding the sacred information within their Akashic Records until the time when history would reveal that the souls of the High Priests and Priestesses would reincarnate to rebuild Atlantis in the form of the Seventh Golden Age.  That time is now." - 45:50

        OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. - Ezek. 8:16

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. - Ezek. 22:26

"Finally the imagination of Ezekiel establishes the rules for the priesthood that would become the landmarks of the Essenes of Qumran. The legitimate priests of the sanctuary are to be the sons of Zadok, the erstwhile chief priest. Known to the people of Qumran as Zadokites, these sons of Zadok would wear white linen garments when they entered the inner court." - 162:181

“One noteworthy fact that is known about the Essenians is that Gomorrah and Sodom were among the places where they had established colonies … [T]oo little attention has been paid to the fact that Qumran, according to an identification formerly suggested by F. de Saulcy, was Gomorrah. Moreover, according to the evidence of Synesius of Cyrene, Dion Chrysostome (who lived between A.D. 42 and 125) ‘has also, somewhere, praised the Essenians, who constitute quite a blessed city established near the Dead Sea in the middle region of Palestine close to Sodom’. These details show us,…that, at the commencement of our era, Sodom and Gomorrah had acquired a reputation for sanctity owing to the presence of these colonies of ascetics; they also indicate that these people were Essenians.” - 230:299-300 

"[Diana's] constant symbol is the bee... The chief priest himself was called Essēn, or the king-bee." - 156:195

 

"[Diana/Artemis] was undoubtedly a representative of the same power over conception and birth that was adored in Palestine under the name Ashtoreth." - 299:484

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. - I Kings 11:5

"I also suggest in King Jesus that the two mysterious Orders of the Essenes, Sampsonians and Helicaeans, were adepts in the calendar mysteries and were named after Samson...and the Helix, or cosmic circle." - 406:150

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.  For he shall be like the heath in the DESERT, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the PARCHED PLACES IN THE WILDERNESS, in a salt land and not inhabited. - Jer. 17:5,6

    CHURCH AGE

"Alexandrian Gnostics...were the spiritual heirs of the Essenes after Hadrian had suppressed the Order in 132 A.D." - 406:150

"According to Baron de Westerode, the founder of the Rosicrucians was one Ormesius, who had been converted by St. Mark, at Alexandria, in A.D. 46. He purified the Egyptian Rites, and reconciled them with Christianity, ca
