Big Bang Mysticism
If one has a background in Hermetic occultism and Kabbalah, one thing becomes perfectly clear the more you study modern Astrophysics, Quantum Physics, and Astronomy. And that is that ancient Hermetic and Kabbalistic occultism is indistinguishable from The Big Bang Theory, with its Evolutionary Theory underpinnings.
In fact, they are one and the same.
And it is no accident or coincidence.
Modern Astrophysics, Quantum Physics, and Astronomy are, in fact, simply repackaged occultism, and they have been passed off as modern science for many decades. This is known as Scientism. The entire Big Bang Myth is simply a Satanic lie which was necessary in order to transmit other occult lies, such as The Myth of Gravity, Evolution, Heliocentrism, and eventually, give credence and traction to the idea of alien life. The primary occult ideology at the basis of all this is the idea of Cosmic Pantheism. The Big Bang Myth reinforces the idea that The Cosmos evolved from a pin prick of substance, and expanded out for billions of years, which is identical to the Kabbalistic occult teachings at the core of Pantheism.
Prima Materia
Many Christians, primarily in The Catholic Faith, since The Big Bang Myth was developed by Georges Lemaître, (1894-1966), Belgian Cosmologist, Catholic priest, and father of the Big Bang Theory, have been fooled into believing that The Lord created the Cosmos from a pin prick of infinitely dense substance. At its heart, this Big Bang Theory stems from the occult Alchemical idea of Prima Materia. The idea of Prima Materia constitutes the Alchemical notion depicting the omnipresence of the philosophical matter. In Alchemy, and material philosophy, Prima Materia, Materia Prima or First Matter is the ubiquitous starting material required for the Alchemical magnum opus and the creation of The Philosopher's Stone. It is the primitive formless base of all matter similar to chaos, the quintessence or Aether. Esoteric Alchemists describe the Prima Materia using simile, and compare it to concepts like the Anima Mundi.
Anima Mundi
The Anima Mundi (English: world soul) is, according to several systems of thought, an intrinsic connection between all living things in The Cosmos, which relates to the world in much the same way as the soul is connected to the human body.
Although the concept of the Anima Mundi originated in classical antiquity, similar ideas can be found in the thoughts of later European philosophers such as those of Baruch Spinoza, Gottfried Leibniz, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schelling, and Georg W.F. Hegel (particularly in his concept of Weltgeist).
Regarding Genesis as Mere Metaphor
In order to accomplish the devaluation of The Lord’s creative power and the exhalation of occult Big Bang Cosmology in its place, it was necessary for the Jesuit Catholics to insert Kabbalistic ideas into The Creation narrative and teach that The Book of Genesis is but a metaphorical text written by scientifically ignorant Biblical figures. In doing so, The Jesuits knew that the entire Bible would be under suspicion of being merely a fable, with the Divinity of Christ tossed aside as just another mythological legend, in the process.
Instead of believing in The 7 Days of Creation, the Jesuit Satanists stretched it out to 14.5 billion years, with Satanic Evolution in the driver’s seat. With this Evolutionary narrative in place, they could further assert that Mankind evolves and will someday evolve to be God, himself, which is precisely what Jesuit Catholic, Teilhard de Chardin, asserted with his Noosphere and Omega Point occultism. It was The Serpent from The Garden speaking through the Jesuit Vatican.
Days of Creation list:
- Day 1: Light
- Day 2: Atmosphere / Firmament
- Day 3: Dry ground and plants
- Day 4: Sun, moon and stars
- Day 5: Birds and sea creatures
- Day 6: Land animals and humans
- Day 7: The Sabbath of rest
Big Bang Creationism
And so, the entire Big Bang Creationism story is really just a story of occult Alchemy and Prima Materia, where The Lord allegedly uses transformational Evolutionary Alchemy to create The Cosmos and Earth rather than Transcendental Divinity, which Mankind has zero access to, in either theory or empirical observation.
Foreword to: Fifty Reasons Copernicus or The Bible by F. E. Pasche
The author of this booklet has risked a tilt with Science. That is a venturesome undertaking in these days of ours where Science reigns supreme, a veritable goddess before whom millions of faithful worshippers bow their heads in childlike trust. Science has become the master word to conjure with because it claims to have laid down a firm foundation for a Weltanschauung which happily eliminates all those troublous concepts of sin and guilt, of eternity and a responsibility to an almighty God. Whoever dares to touch this beloved and ad mired idol with an unfriendly hand, with the nefarious purpose of exhibiting its brazen worthlessness, must expect to be caught up in the vortex of a crushing whirlwind of fanatical vituperation. For Science with its high priests and devotees is intolerant to the last degree.
But let it be remembered that our author is at odds only with Science; he has no quarrel with science which is content with a lower case initial. Just plain science is a valuable aid to man since it diligently assembles knowable facts and marshals them into some logical order for purposes of study and application. Its domain is that of observation, and it rests content with recording what it actually sees and hears. It goes no farther beyond the individual perception than to express in general, abstract terms a summary of known facts announcing the so-called “laws” which may be deduced from observed occurrences. Plain science is continuously reaching forward into the region of the unknown, seeking to increase the actual store of human knowledge; but as it never pretends to know what is un known, so does it never attempt to overstep the boundaries which are set between that which is knowable and that which is naturally un knowable. Briefly, just plain science is real knowledge, not fancy.
But Science, the fetish of the modern world, reincarnation of the ancient idol Philosophy, scorns the boundaries which will forever mark the limit of plain science. From some bare foothold in fact, Science vaults into the saddle of that spirited steed Imagination and sets out to uncover the veiled mysteries of the universe. This ad venture would be more promising if the steed were of pure pedigree. But no high priest of Science could ever command the services of an undefiled imagination; the steed is always a sideling jade, variously — IV — afflicted with Pantheism, Materialism, Evolutionism, Atheism, or a combination of these ailments. Thus, every foray is doomed to failure at the outset. This fact, though sufficiently vexatious in all conscience, would not necessarily discredit those attempts at reaching the unattainable, if it were generally understood that the fanciful flights of Science were meant for pastime only. But it is an un fortunate habit of Science to proclaim as facts the alleged discoveries made in the trackless realms of fancy. Oh yes, Science will always tell us that this and that is a hypothesis; but Scientists and their unthinking followers, quickly losing sight of the difference between the finest hypothesis and the most insignificant fact, will just as surely insist, after a little while, that what entered the world as a guess becomes a fact by many repetitions. To mention but one instance. The hypothesis of evolutionism, having been adopted by Scientists generally, is not only used as a fact, but insisted upon as such, though to this day no investigator has been able to observe a single case of actual evolution. Hence plain science is compelled to record habitual untruthfulness as one of the deplorable characteristics of Science.
While plain science is not, and never can become, dangerous to a Christian believer, Science has been determinedly at work to over throw the foundations of faith, and has succeeded in deceiving thousands to their eternal detriment. An accomplishment of which Science is especially proud is the successful destruction of faith in the Scriptures as the real revelation of God. Disguised as astronomy and geology, Science has demonstrated triumphantly that the very first chapters of the Bible contain nothing but myths, which are of no greater historical value than the Cosmogony of any pagan people. This was the inevitable result of scientific speculation. No mind imbued with the errors of Pantheism, Deism, or Monism, could by any possibility reconstruct the history of creation along the lines laid down in the record of which God is the author. It matters not that all the real facts of astronomy and geology agree very well with the Mosaic presentation and the point of view prevailing in the whole Bible; since Science has decreed that these facts shall be utilized for deductions based upon other points of view, and has declared its de ductions to be facts, thousands of deluded sinners have been led to discard as antiquated the entire revelation of God in the Bible, including the Savior and His Salvation.
Thus, since Science (not plain science, mind you!) is at war with the fundamental doctrines of Christian faith, it follows that all true Christians must be at war with Science. They cannot sit complacently by while the vain imaginings of the princes of this world are offered as true answers to the most vital questions with which every human being is concerned. It is in this spirit that our author makes his attack upon Science. Sure of his foothold in the inerrant Word of God, he, in particular, aims to show up the fatal weakness of the vaunted deductions of Astronomy (not astronomy, please!). The reader may not agree with the writer in every argument. He may, for instance, admit the possibility that the statements of Scripture referring to the sun as a moving body, were not meant to say that the sun does really move (though such an admission is much like playing with fire!). But he will surely agree that the writer has successfully arraigned Science for untruthfulness in allowing the impression to prevail that its astronomical hypotheses have attained the dignity of facts, whereas they can never be established as such. If it is too much to hope that this brief treatise will actually bring back some erring hearts to certain faith in the Bible, it will surely be welcomed as a fearless witness of the truth by those who, though certain of their footing in Holy Scripture, are yet conscious of the unholy power of Science to corrupt the heart of a believer.

Wandering Stars as Fallen Angelic Beings
If we are to concede that The Stars are, in fact, not balls of burning gas millions of light years away, but rather angelic illuminations (Luminaries). And these angelic manifestations can eventually fall to Earth, as The Book of revelation states. And there are those who have already transgressed against The Lord’s prescribed positions for them in order to become Satanic emissaries for the New Age of Heliocentric Occultism. If we are to concede all this, then it stands to reason that The Wandering Stars, which we call planets, are just such angelic rebels.
What is The Stars are the angelic hosts in Heaven who will accompany The Lord in The Final Judgement of Mankind, and this would explain why they fall in the End Times in The Final Judgment. And The Wandering Stars, who had transgressed the will of The Lord, will fight on the side of Lucifer in a war in Heaven, in those very End Times.
Revelation 6:13
“And the stars of Heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.”
And we entertain this idea, then The Wandering Stars (The Planets) are already in league against The Lord, and as such, might they conceal their true nature to the ignorant ungodly man, and masquerade as spherical bodies to assist in perpetuating The Heliocentric Deception, in the service of The Chief Angelic Form of The Air, Lucifer?
And what is The Lord’s judgement of the ungodly?
Jude 1:11
“Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.”
Jude 1 in full context: God's Judgment on the Ungodly
“10 These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.
11 Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
12 These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted 13Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; Wandering Stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.”
Jude is delivering a harsh warning against “the ungodly people” who pervert the grace of God into licentious immorality, and reject Yeshua, the true Sovereign Lord and Savior of Mankind, with His rightful seat as The Lord of All that is Good and Just. In this short book, Jude uses a variety of very colorfully interesting and poetic language to describe these false teachers.
And then it is the following verse where Jude quotes the Book of Enoch saying:
“14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, The Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.”
I would argue that this mention of the Wandering Stars and their Judgment is mentioned in such close context to the mention of The Book of Enoch, with its mention of “ten thousands of His saints”, which could very well mean the falling Stars that The Book of Revelation speaks of.
Then we read in The Book of Enoch, chapter 80:
“6. And many chiefs of the stars shall transgress the order prescribe; And these shall alter their orbits and tasks; And not appear at the seasons prescribed to them.
7. And the whole order of the stars shall be concealed from the sinners; And the thoughts of those on the earth shall err concerning them; And they shall be altered from all their ways; Yea, they shall err and take them to be gods.
8. And evil shall be multiplied upon them; And punishment shall come upon them, so as to destroy all.”
Does this not sound like The Book of Enoch is literally telling how the angelic luminaries will form a battalion of angels to assist The Lord in The Final Judgment? And, Jude is speaking about human false teachers, godless people, who are leading other people astray by corrupting The Gospel of Grace, itself. And yet, Enoch is saying that The Wandering Stars are literally, not metaphorically, these false godless teachers, as well. In other words, why would you compare a blasphemous false teacher who is leading people away from God to a Wandering Star if The Stars and Wandering Stars (Planets) are simply normal natural functions of God's created order? Jude is not simple talking about the luminaries as some natural material manifestation above. He is equating them to spiritual beings, with The Wandering Stars as in rebellion to The Lord. Consider Saturn and all the evil surrounding it. Saturn is a Wandering Star…a Satanic transgressor of The High Moral Law of The Lord.
And then, in The Book of Enoch: Chapter 21 it says:
“3. There, too, I beheld Seven Stars of Heaven bound in it together, like great mountains, and like a blazing fire. I exclaimed, For what species of crime have they been bound, and why have they been removed to this place? Then Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me, and who conducted me, answered: Enoch, wherefore dost thou ask; wherefore reason with thyself, and anxiously inquire? These are those of the stars which have transgressed the commandment of the most high God; and are here bound, until the infinite number of the days of their crimes be completed.”
If we eliminate The Earth as a Wandering Star, and omit the speculative Pluto, we arrive at 7 Wandering Stars (Planets):
- Mercury
- Venus
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
And did not Enoch say: “I beheld Seven Stars of Heaven bound in it together”? And so, it makes sense, again, that The Wandering Stars are these celestial rebels assisting in leading Mankind to his doom.
And then, in 2 Corinthians 13-14, it also speaks about the issue of false teachers and it has this to say:
“13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of Light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
And so, the resounding theme is one of Satanic entities appearing as an Angel of Light from above, whether being Lucifer, himself, or his Wandering Star emissaries. It might seem ridiculous to suggest that the spherical appearance of the Wandering Stars (Planets) could be a deception from the Fallen Angels, themselves. Nevertheless, from a Biblical point of view, and absolutely from the perspective of The Enochian Cosmology, this idea seems quite plausible.
Additionally, since Evolutionary Theory, itself, is first and foremost, a spiritual Doctrine of Demons, which stretches far back into the ancient occult past, and with the modern Darwinian and Copernican Evolutionary theories parading themselves as repackaged ancient Gnostic philosophies, it stands to reason that The Wandering Stars would exhibit themselves as spherical manifestations in order to support these Satanic Evolutionary and Heliocentric Doctrines. If The Wandering Stars are, indeed, spiritual angelic luminaries, it would be fully in their power to do so.
Finally, when we consider the Planets, we don't even think to question that we regard them as being obvious and undeniable facets of God's original intended design. They are assumed to be part of the created order even though The Bible, itself, never mentions the Planets, only The Sun, The Moon, and The , and in The Book of Jude and The Book of Enoch, it is made clear That Wandering Stars are, in fact, Fallen Angels. Not only this, but conversely, when you survey the expanse of the occult and magical histories, we find an absolute fixation on the Planets. The Bible, itself, mentions constellations of stars, but the various occult systems of Astrological Zodiacs turns them into a tool of Divination and Witchcraft, and this is where the Planets start to take center stage throughout ancient times.
The Planets were associated with the Pantheon of pagan Gods, almost ubiquitously and this really should be a huge red flag to us. And then, if we take an honest unfiltered look at the arenas and individuals involved in the development of the Copernican Revolution, we see the same dubious fingerprints of occult groups like the Jesuit Order all over it, including occultists masquerading as scientists, Sir Issac Newton to name one, who were and are fascinated with things like Alchemy, Hermeticism, and The Kabbalah.
And so, this entire false Heliocentric Copernican system was conceived of and perpetuated by Satan in order to essentially craft a new narrative through which he and his fallen minions could, once again, present themselves to humanity as our saviors and gods. This is the entire purpose of the whole ancient aliens narrative, and we are swiftly approach their entrance upon the world stage. Obviously, they will not, in truth, be aliens. They will be fallen demonic entities come, once again, to return to corrupt The Lord’s creation.
These fallen luminaries have, in fact, deceived the entire human race for hundreds of years into believing that there are other worlds out there, thus providing a premise from which extraterrestrials could appear on the scene and finalize the genetic and moral corruption of Mankind. And look at the vaccines…genetic corruption is already underway.
Seek The Lord, for time is running out, an The Final Judgment is upon us.
Biblical Cosmology, The Myth of The Big Bang, Outer Space, and Evolution
First of all, for 1500 years, every culture in the world knew that The Earth was a flat plane with a Firmament, until the Jesuit Vatican, in conjunction with Jesuit agenteurs Nikolai Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, and Alchemical Occult Master Mason Sir Issac Newton, changed the model into an easily disproven Heliocentric Model. The reason every culture for 1500 years knew the Earth is flat is because all scientific observations and sense-based data and experiences confirm this fact.
The Bible begins with God creating the Heaven and the Earth, and then later on the fourth day, God creates The Sun, Moon, and Stars, followed by every living creature that moves, and finally human beings, in God's own image (Gen. 1:1, 16, 21, 26). Biblical Cosmology examines the structure of the Earth and Heavens, as well as Sheol, the realm below the Earth. Sheol, in the Hebrew Bible, is a place of darkness to which the dead go. When the Hebrew scriptures were translated into Koine Greek in ancient Alexandria around 200 BC, the word Hades (the Greek underworld) was substituted for Sheol.
The Jesuits have manipulated the world into interpreting The Bible, and more specifically, The Book of Genesis as NOT a literal history, but rather as a symbolic, mythological, scientifically inaccurate, metaphorical, and/or allegorical rendition of Cosmology and The Earth’s Creation.
They have reduced The Lord’s Creation into a mere random event, a by-product of billions of years of Evolution and Natural Selection, where cosmic debris hurled through a vast vacuum cosmos with no reason or purpose for being, a mere epiphenomenon of Cartesian and quantum events.
Outer Space and Evolution as Myth
The lie of Outer Space, itself, is nothing more than an archetypal mechanism conjured up by occult epistemological cartels in order to perpetuate occult realms, principles and concepts to the world.
In his book, The Inner Reaches of Outer Space: Metaphor as Myth and as Religion, Joseph Campbell explores the Space Age and posits that a new mythology is implicit in the collective ideation of Outer Space. Campbell goes on to relate and demonstrate that within the conceptualization of Outer Space, there exists linguistic metaphors which have become deeply embedded within the psyches of today’s scientist, artists, and writers, which, in turn, bear the seeds of tomorrow’s mythologies.
Campbell writes in his introduction: “My desire and great pleasure in the preparation of this little volume has been as rendering a return gift to the Graces for the transforming insights of these recent years, which...we have been testing out in a broadly shared spiritual adventure.” In other words, Campbell is literally equating Outer Space and Space Exploration as a kind of religious adventure and pursuit. He is very close to the truth with this interpretation of Outer Space, though in the end, he is all for this mythological adventure, and hopes it is all very real in the end.
Origins of Creation
First of all, the entire idea of The Cosmos (Earth and Heavens) coming from some Outer Space origins is science fiction and not science. Science reveals zero evidence for the existence of Outer Space. All observations reveal a Firmament above The Earth, with no current data about anything above that, and NASA is a CGI Computer science fiction movie production company…so no evidence there.
Hence, God is the author of Space Time, reasoned from sufficient scientific aposterior logic (logic relating to or denoting reasoning or knowledge that proceeds from observations or experiences to the deduction of probable causes.) Such reasoning is the foundation of all scientific inquiry. Belief, Faith, and Theism are not needed whatsoever for such research and inquiry.
Further, extrapolating from the preceding, God has no prior Causal Antecedent, because without first having Space Time for the properties of temporal extension, nothing prior can be. This is pure scientific deductive reasoning, which is used in all aspects of mechanical and theoretical physics and science, in general. Stick close to scientific inquiry and logic and you will see very clearly how the idea of a Creator as the cause of The Creation is the only legitimate, bonafide scientific conclusion.
Ther is no Evolution, Outer Space, or Big Bang in The Bible
The Biblical worldview makes no provision for the idea of Evolution, Outer Space, or The Big Bang Theory. The Lord made Man in HIS image and there is no indication of Mankind evolving from the slime of the Earth and going through various protozoic stages as single-celled eukaryotes, either free-living or parasitic, feeding on organic matter such as other microorganisms or organic tissues and debris, to further transform into amphibians, animals, and eventually into Ardipithecus Ramidus bipedal hominid creatures as precursor to the current Homo Sapien Man.
Fabricating The Big Bang Theory to Justify Evolutionary Theory
Satanic, Anti-Biblical Evolutionary Theory was necessary to keep the Heliocentric Globe Model Lie going, as well as to later aid in Social Darwinian Eugenics (Genocide) programs, worldwide. Additionally, if the Universe came from a Big Bang, then it needed to evolve, which begs the unproven occult ideas of Gravity and Outer Space. The Kabbalstic occult basis of The Big Bang Theory and Evolutionary Theory go hand in hand, obviously, and they are both necessary for a mythical Universe to eventually evolve to a point where it is revealed that Man actually came from Alien life, which would lead to the idea of an Alien Messiah Anti-Christ. This long running thematic development was merely a wicked Knights Templar machination, all along, based upon The Knights Templar acquisition of Far Eastern Hermetic and Babylonian occult secret knowledge, prior to their formation of The Society of Jesus, which is the Jesuit Vatican Order.
The Society of Jesus, also known as The Jesuit Vatican Military Priest Order, is a religious order of the Vatican Catholic Church, headquartered in Rome. It was founded by Ignatius of Loyola and six companions with the approval of Pope Paul III in 1540. The society is allegedly said to be engaged in evangelization and apostolic ministry in 112 nations. Jesuits work in education, research, and cultural pursuits. Jesuits also give retreats, minister in hospitals and parishes, sponsor direct social ministries, and promote ecumenical dialogue.
Their exoteric (Outward) mask of is one of philanthropy and educations, and their esoteric (Hidden) agenda is one of One World Masonic Luciferian Reign. The Jesuits have been kicked out of over 82 countries for heinous and wicked deeds of assassination, government infiltration, and religious subversion. It was Jesuit Canonical Law Professor at Jesuit Ingolstadt University in Bavaria, Germany, Adam Weishaupt, who was given the task of drafting The Illuminati Treaties. Jesuit trained Johann Adam Weishaupt was a German philosopher, Professor of Civil Law and later Canon Law, and founder of the Illuminati

- Recombination

These are deemed to be the ancestors of both man and apes. They lived in China, Africa, Europe and India. The genus Dryopithecus refers to the oak wood apes. When Dryopithecus was alive, the tropical lowlands which it inhabited were densely forested, so the members could have predominantly been herbivores.
2. Ramapithecus
Their first remains were discovered from the Shivalik range in Punjab and later in Africa and Saudi Arabia. They lived in open grasslands. Two pieces of evidence confirm their Hominid status:
- Thickened tooth enamel, robust jaws and shorter canines.
- Usage of hands for food and defense and extrapolations of upright posture.
3. Australopithecus
The fossil of this genus was first discovered in 1924 in South Africa. They lived on the ground, used stones as weapons and walked erect. They were 4 feet tall and weighed 60-80 pounds.
4. Homo Erectus
The first fossil of Homo Erectus was found in Java in 1891. These were named as Pithecanthropus Erectus. These were considered as the missing link between the man and apes. Another discovery made in China was the Peking man. This specimen had large cranial capacities and is believed to have lived in communities. Homo erectus used tools comprising quartz. Tools made of bones and wood were also discovered. There is evidence of collective huntings. There is also evidence of the use of fire. The Homo Erectus is believed to dwell in caves.
5. Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis
The Homo Erectus evolved into Homo Sapiens. During evolution, two sub-species of Homo Sapiens were identified- Homo Sapien Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens. The cranial capacity of Neanderthal grew from 1200 to 1600 cc. Some small hand axes had also been discovered. This species of hominids could hunt big names such as mammoths.
6. Homo Sapiens
The remains of Homo Sapiens were first discovered in Europe and were named Cro-Magnon. In these, the jaws are quite reduced, the modern man’s chin appeared, and the skull was rounded. Their cranial capacity was about 1350 cc. They gathered food through hunting. Art first appeared during this time.
The Biblical View of Man
Regarding structure, The Lord is said to have stretched out The Firmament (Below Heaven) like a tent (Ps. 103:2), rather than a sphere or the unproven infinite vacuum expanse of later scientific religious beliefs. God’s intervention on behalf of the army of Joshua, when God commanded the sun to stand still ( Josh. 10:12–14), implies that the sun revolves above the Earth , rather than Earth rotating around the Sun. Inevitably, aspects of Biblical Cosmology written long ago now conflict with changing scientific belief.
Some History of Biblical Cosmology
Biblical Cosmology is the Biblical writers’ conception of the cosmos as an organized, structured entity, including its origin, order, meaning and destiny. The Bible was formed over many centuries, involving many authors, and reflects shifting patterns of religious belief; consequently, its Cosmology is not always consistent. Nor do the Biblical texts necessarily represent the beliefs of all Jews or Christians at the time they were put into writing: the majority of those making up Hebrew Bible or Old Testament in particular represent the beliefs of only a small segment of the ancient Israelite community, the members of a late Judean religious tradition centered in Jerusalem and devoted to the exclusive worship of Yahweh.
The ancient Israelites envisaged a universe made up of a flat disc-shaped Earth floating on water, heaven above, underworld below. Humans inhabited Earth during life and the underworld after death; there was no way that mortals could enter heaven, and the underworld was morally neutral; only in Hellenistic times (after c. 330 BCE) did Jews begin to adopt the Greek idea that it would be a place of punishment for misdeeds, and that the righteous would enjoy an afterlife in heaven. In this period, too, the older three-level Cosmology in large measure gave way to the Greek concept of a spherical Earth suspended in space at the center of a number of concentric heavens.
The opening words of the Genesis creation narrative (Genesis 1:1–26) sum up the Biblical editors' view of how the cosmos originated: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth "; Yahweh, the God of Israel, was solely responsible for creation and had no rivals, implying Israel's superiority over all other nations. Later Jewish thinkers, adopting ideas from Greek philosophy, concluded that God's Wisdom, Word and Spirit penetrated all things and gave them unity. Christianity in turn adopted these ideas and identified Jesus with the Logos (Word): "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).
Cosmography (Shape and Structure of The Cosmos)
Heavens, Earth , and Underworld
The Hebrew Bible depicted a three-part world, with the heavens (shamayim) above, Earth (eres) in the middle, and the underworld (Sheol) below. After the 4th century BCE this was gradually replaced by a Greek scientific cosmology of a spherical Earth surrounded by multiple concentric heavens.
The Cosmic Ocean
The three-part world of heavens, Earth and underworld floated in Tehom, the mythological cosmic ocean, which covered the Earth until God created the Firmament to divide it into upper and lower portions and reveal the dry land; the world has been protected from the cosmic ocean above ever since by the solid dome of the Firmament .
The Tehom is, or was, hostile to God: it confronted him at the beginning of the world (Psalm 104:6ff) but fled from the dry land at his rebuke; he has now set a boundary or bar for it which it can no longer pass (Jeremiah 5:22 and Job 38:8–10). The cosmic sea is the home of monsters which God conquers: "By his power he stilled the sea, by his understanding he smote Rahab!" (Job 26:12f).[27] (Rahab is an exclusively Hebrew sea-monster; others, including Leviathan and the tannin, or dragons, are found in Ugaritic texts; it is not entirely clear whether they are identical with Sea or are Sea's helpers). The "bronze sea" which stood in the forecourt of the Temple in Jerusalem probably corresponds to the "sea" in Babylonian temples, representing the apsu, the cosmic ocean.
In the New Testament Jesus' conquest of the stormy sea shows the conquering deity overwhelming the forces of chaos: a mere word of command from the Son of God stills the foe (Mark 4:35–41), who then tramples over his enemy, (Jesus walking on water - Mark 6:45, 47–51). In Revelation, where the Archangel Michael expels the dragon (Satan) from heaven ("And war broke out in heaven, with Michael and his angels attacking the dragon..." – Revelation 12:7), the motif can be traced back to Leviathan in Israel and to Tiamat, the chaos-ocean, in Babylonian myth, identified with Satan via an interpretation of the serpent in Eden.
The Heavens: Form and Structure
In the Old Testament the word shamayim represented both the sky/atmosphere, and the dwelling place of God. The Raqia or Firmament – the visible sky – was a solid inverted bowl over the Earth , colored blue from the heavenly ocean above it.[33] Rain, snow, wind and hail were kept in storehouses outside the Raqia, which had "windows" to allow them in – the waters for Noah's flood entered when the "windows of heaven" were opened. Heaven extended down to and was coterminous with (i.e. it touched) the farthest edges of the Earth (e.g. Deuteronomy 4:32);[35] humans looking up from Earth saw the floor of heaven, which they saw also as God's throne, as made of clear blue lapis-lazuli (Exodus 24:9–10), and (Ezekiel 1:26).[36] Below that was a layer of water, the source of rain, which was separated from us by an impenetrable barrier, the Firmament (Genesis 1:6–8). The rain may also be stored in heavenly cisterns (Job: 38:37) or storehouses (Deut 28:12) alongside the storehouses for wind, hail and snow.
Grammatically the word shamayim can be either dual (two) or plural (more than two), without ruling out the singular (one).[38] As a result, it is not clear whether there were one, two, or more heavens in the Old Testament,[39] but most likely there was only one, and phrases such as "heaven of heavens" were meant to stress the vastness of God's realm.[35]
The Babylonians had a more complex idea of heaven, and during the Babylonian exile (6th century BCE) the influence of Babylonian cosmology led to the idea of a plurality of heavens among Jews.[40] This continued into the New Testament: Revelation apparently has only one heaven, but the Epistle to the Hebrews and the epistles to the Colossians and the Ephesians have more than one, although they don't specify how many,[41] and the apostle Paul tells of his visit to the third heaven, the place, according to contemporary thought, where the garden of Paradise is to be found.[42] The reference to the "third heaven" may refer to one of two cosmological systems present in antiquity: one where the cosmos was divided into seven heavens, and the other where the cosmos was divided into three.[43]
God And The Heavenly Beings
The Archangel Michael, a member of the host of divine beings who attend God in heaven, defeating Satan, the dragon of chaos.
Israel and Judah, like other Canaanite kingdoms, originally had a full pantheon of gods.[44] The chief of the old Canaanite pantheon was the god El, but over time Yahweh replaced him as the national god and the two merged ("Yahweh-El, creator of heaven and Earth " – Genesis 14:22).[44] The remaining gods were now subject to Yahweh: "Who in the sky is comparable to Yahweh, like Yahweh among the divine beings? A god dreaded in the Council of holy beings...?" (Psalm 89:6–9).[45] In the Book of Job the Council of Heaven, the Sons of God (bene elohim) meet in heaven to review events on Earth and decide the fate of Job.[46] One of their number is "the Satan", literally "the accuser", who travels over the Earth much like a Persian imperial spy, (Job dates from the period of the Persian empire), reporting on, and testing, the loyalty of men to God.[46]
The heavenly bodies (the heavenly host - Sun, Moon, and stars)[citation needed] were worshiped as deities, a practice which the bible disapproves and of which righteous Job protests his innocence: "If I have looked at the sun when it shone, or the moon ... and my mouth has kissed my hand, this also would be an iniquity..."[47] Belief in the divinity of the heavenly bodies explains a passage in Joshua 10:12, usually translated as Joshua asking the Sun and Moon to stand still, but in fact Joshua utters an incantation to ensure that the sun-god and moon-god, who supported his enemies, would not provide them with oracles.
In the earlier Old Testament texts The Bene Elohim were gods, but subsequently they became angels, the "messengers" (malakim), whom Jacob sees going up and down a "ladder" (actually a celestial mountain) between heaven and Earth . In earlier works the messengers were anonymous, but in the Second Temple period (539 BCE–100 CE) they began to be given names, and eventually became the vast angelic orders of Christianity and Judaism. Thus the gods and goddesses who had once been the superiors or equals of Yahweh were first made his peers, then subordinate gods, and finally ended as angels in his service.
Similarities between species does not connote common ancestry or random mutational based Evolution any more than similarities between automobiles mean a Camaro evolves into a Lamborghini without the aid of builders and inventors. Modern cars use the same design techniques and part concepts for their construction, such as engine combustion, braking mechanisms, emissions control, nuts, and bolts, etc… But this does not mean that cars are autonomously evolving into other cars by random chance. Rather, when we observe similarities between automobiles, we are looking at proof of common design techniques and therefore a Designer. Similarly, when we observe similarities between species, we are looking at proof of common design techniques and therefore a Designer.
Additionally, we find carbon in a myriad of organic species, as well as some simple compounds, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, carbides, cyanides, cyanates, and thiocyanates, and more complex objects, including tables, chairs, paper, pencil lead, car tires, and cell phones. But this does not mean that carbon monoxide is autonomously evolving into pencil lead or that paper is eventually evolving into a cell phone without the aid of a Designer, even given the Evolutionist’s clarion call to arms, “given enough time!!!”.
Without guidance and careful direction, objects do not increase in sophistication and design complexity without intelligent assistance. Common compositional characteristics merely means that both organic and inorganic matter exhibit design attributes and common design components and materials. The signature of design and Designer is found at all levels in the modern taxonomic classification system of Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
Additionally, when scientists see a Blue Jay nest, they know it was designed by a Blue Jay. And when they see an Eagle nest, they know it was designed by an Eagle. But they never confuse the issue to say that a Blue Jay nest evolved into an Eagle nest. Quite to the contrary. They say BOTH nests had a Common Designer: An animal belonging to the family, Aves, otherwise known as a bird. Common design elements point to Common Designer.
Similarly, wooden chairs do not evolve into wood houses. They share identical compositional characteristics, which merely point to Common Designer. And living organism have DNA, proteins, carbon, and hydrogen in their design characteristics. Again, Common Design attributes points to Common Designer.
Finally, there is not one observable instance of information code arising from any randomly based system in all of recorded history. Whether it be computer code, or the infinitely sophisticated information systems of DNA code or the human synaptic neural system, both of which generate information code so complex that it boggles the mind, the only explanation for their existence is Designer. Nature simply cannot produce complex information systems through random chance by the very definition of random chance, regardless of how much time one sneaks into the equation. All random chance can do is provide a singular event or cluster of events at a time which would select one thing or another, while the millions of complexly irreducible and interwoven information systems that we observe in Nature, including the human body and mind, would require a level of coincident random events so beyond statistical possibility as to be absolutely impossible.
Simply stated, a system is a collection of objects that somehow interrelate with each other to function as a whole and produce some effect that no single object within the system could do on its own. The configuration of a system’s parts can be physical, logical or statistical. Nature is composed of an almost infinite number of hierarchical, interconnecting patterns and ecosystems. Energy is the operating currency of Nature. Ecosystems are the conduits by which Nature’s energy is transported and transformed. Ecosystems are vehicles for energy flow and energy consumption. They cycle energy and nutrients obtained from external sources. And you simply cannot get such a level of interconnected sophistication of information systems from random events any more than you can get a Lamborghini engine from random events., even if given a trillion years. Both require guidance and careful design. And such a dynamo of creative direction can only come from a Designer.
Evolution between species is perhaps the greatest hoax ever perpetrated by modern science. And because of this hoax, a plethora of false doctrines and theories scurried in the door, including the Heliocentric Theory, Gravity, and The Big Bang Theory. Take Evolution out of the Origins narrative of The Earth and all the other hoaxes come crashing to the ground…and they have.
Einsteinian, Humian, and Kantian Time and the Arbitrary Nature of Special Relativity
Although many people are fascinated by the idea of changing the past or seeing the future before it's due, no person has ever demonstrated the kind of back-and-forth time travel seen in science fiction, or proposed a method of sending a person through significant periods of time that wouldn't destroy them on the way. And, as physicist Stephen Hawking pointed out in his book Black Holes and Baby Universes. “The best evidence we have that time travel is not possible, and never will be, is that we have not been invaded by hordes of tourists from the future.”
Science does support some amount of time-bending, though. For example, physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity proposes that time is an illusion that moves relative to an observer. An observer traveling near the speed of light will experience time, with all its aftereffects (boredom, aging, etc.) much more slowly than an observer at rest.
There are other scientific theories about time travel, including some modern physics around Wormholes, Black Holes and String Theory, which ultimately amounts to repackaged Hermetical occultism. For the most part, though, time travel remains the domain of an ever-growing array of science fiction books, movies, television shows, comics, video games, and more.
Special Relativity And Time Travel To The Near Future
Einstein was said to have developed his Theory of Special Relativity in 1905, which is surprising owing to the fact that Einstein flunked math, and his highest achievement before all this was copyright office clerk. And so, let us just say that Einstein was attributed with the invention of the Theory of Special Relativity because the origins to this idea, or at least clues to the whereabouts of it, were made available to him via his role as copyright clerk. Along with Einstein’s’ alleged later expansion, The Theory of General Relativity, it has become one of the foundational tenets of modern physics. Special Relativity describes the relationship between space and time for objects moving at constant speeds in a straight line.
Enter David Hume
Ok, let’s say that philosopher David Hume had it right about time, and that there is no sensory evidence for a universal, absolute, self-sustaining Time that flows equably in an isotropically homogenous Cosmos. In such a view, perceiving motion causes the idea of change, and subsequently, causes Time, as well, because every moment is distinguished by every other moment via the human mind’s ability to track the variance and change in position of any moving object. Hence, Time, as it appears to us, is therefore made up of indivisible moments that are parts of a succession of moments, and as such, Time is a quantized perceptual phenomenon.
Nevertheless, we must perceive a change with respect to moments that occur in an absolute reality. Otherwise we could not abstract the idea of Time, and hence, Time is relative to the perceiver upon a very real world of substance that exist out there, beyond the ideas of the mind. From the time of Plato, one of the most basic notions in philosophy has been “substance”—that whose existence does not depend upon anything else. For philosopher John Locke, the substance of an object is the hidden “substratum” in which the object’s properties in here and on which they depend for their existence. One of the reasons for David Hume’s importance in the history of philosophy is that he rejected that notion. In keeping with his strict empiricism, he held that the idea of substance, if it answers to anything genuine, must arise from experience, and hence, from perception, itself.
But what kind of experience can that be? By its proponents’ own definition, substance is that which underlies an object’s properties, including its sensible properties; it is therefore in principle unobservable.
Hume concluded:
“We have therefore no idea of substance, distinct from that of a collection of particular qualities, nor have we any other meaning when we either talk or reason concerning it.”
Furthermore, the things that earlier philosophers had assumed were substances are in fact “nothing but a collection of simple ideas, that are united by the imagination, and have a particular name assigned to them.” Gold, to take Hume’s example, is nothing but the collection of the ideas of yellow, malleable, fusible, and so on. Even the mind, or the “self,” is only a “heap or collection of different perceptions united together by certain relations and suppos’d, tho’ falsely, to be endow’d with a perfect simplicity or identity.”
That conclusion had important consequences for the problem of personal identity, to which Locke had devoted considerable attention, for if there is nothing to the mind but a collection of perceptions, then there is no self that perdures as the subject of those perceptions. Therefore, it does not make sense to speak of the subject of certain perceptions yesterday as the same self, or the same person, as the subject of certain perceptions today or in the future. There is no self or person there.
Enter Immanuel Kant
Idealism is often defined as the view that everything that exists is mental. In other words, everything is either a mind or dependent for its existence on a mind. Immanuel Kant was not strictly an Idealist according to that definition. His doctrine of “Transcendental Idealism” held that all theoretical (i.e., scientific) knowledge is a mixture of what is given in sense experience and what is contributed by the mind. The contributions of the mind are necessary conditions for having any sense experience at all. They include the spatial and temporal “forms” in which physical objects appear, as well as various extremely general features that together give the experience an intelligible structure. Those features are imposed when the mind, in the act of forming a judgment about experience, brings the content of experience under one of the “pure concepts of the understanding.” Those concepts are unity, plurality, and totality; reality, negation, and limitation; inherence and subsistence, causality and dependence, and community (or reciprocity); and possibility, existence, and necessity. Among the more noteworthy of the mind’s contributions to experience is causality, which Hume asserted has no real existence.
Here is where all this breaks down. In Hume and Einstein’s world, Time is relative to a perceptual frame of reference, while contradictory, the physical world itself, is thought to be an ABSOLUTE entity that exists whether one perceives it or not. This is a gross contradiction that neither Hume nor Einstein can reconcile. If everything is relative, then surely the physical world, itself, is relative to the observer and is not some absolute real entity that exist independent of the observer. There is no observable evidence that the structure of the physical world is uniform across space, apart from individual sense data which comes from relative perceptual experience. Einstein’s argument for the relativity of distant simultaneity falls apart here. If distant simultaneous events are relative and therefore malleable to individual sense perception, then physical reality itself cannot be assumed to be continuous and existent as uniform and absolutely independent of personal experience.
The Copenhagen Paradox
In The Copenhagen Paradox, light passes through double slits and onto a screen resulting in a diffraction pattern. Is light a particle or a wave? In The Copenhagen Interpretation, light is neither. It is either a wave or a particle contingent upon the distance of the observer from the double slit apparatus, in this famous experiment. This phenomenon is known as “the wave collapse”, where the observer is said to literally dictate the outcome of the experiment.
In other words, a common perception of the Copenhagen Interpretation is that an important part of it is the “collapse” of the wave function. In the act of measurement, it is postulated, the wave function of a system can change suddenly and discontinuously. Prior to a measurement, a wave function involves the various probabilities for the different potential outcomes of that measurement. But when the apparatus registers one of those outcomes, no traces of the others linger.
The Copenhagen Interpretation then amounts to a collection of views about the meaning of quantum mechanics principally attributed to occultists/theoretical physicists, Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. It is one of the oldest of numerous proposed interpretations of quantum mechanics, as features of it date to the development of quantum mechanics during 1925–1927, and it remains one of the most commonly taught paradoxes of perception and observation.
There is no definitive historical statement of what is the Copenhagen Interpretation. There are some fundamental agreements and disagreements between the views of Bohr and Heisenberg. For example, Heisenberg emphasized a sharp “cut” between the observer (or the instrument) and the system being observed, : 133 while Bohr offered an interpretation that is independent of a subjective observer or measurement or collapse, which relies on an “irreversible” or effectively irreversible process, which could take place within the quantum system.
The Occult Paradoxes Start Piling Up
If we are to conclude that physical reality is relative and changes dependent and relative to the observer, in much the same way as The Copenhagen Interpretation of the Double Slit Experiment predicts, in an attempt to be constituent with Einstein’s “all is relative” ideology, then we are to allow massive collapses in Time Dilation Theory, in that if both the Time Dilation frames of reference are relative, as well as Space frames of reference, and all of this is shifting based upon the observer, there is no way to predict or comment upon the age or position of any observer or traveler at any time in such a wildly chaotic matrix of ever changing frames. It is like being lost in the tessellation special effects scenes of Marvel’s Dr. Strange where you never know where you are or what dimension you are flowing into or out of. You could never say someone is aging, more or less, because you have no Cartesian Spatial frame of reference from whence to even make a comment about it. All you could do is invent blackboards of bizarre mathematics to talk about this nonsensical and paradoxical occult world, which is what we actually find in modern science.
The end result is a lengthy exposition of Spatial nonsense brought forth in order to talk about mystical Temporal nonsense, which is then passed off as theoretical physics, and has no relation to the real world we live in. At it core, theoretical physics become a Trojan Horse for hermetic occult ideologies, where Space and Time are malleable perceptual frames of reference that the observer manipulates by the sheer act of observation.
Einstein and Hume Stride Two Worlds of Contradiction
And so, both David Hume and Einstein have one foot on the relative and the other foot on the absolute. They assert a relative Time where all simple ideas resemble some simple impressions, where ideas are copies of impressions based upon past experience of an absolute physical world. In other words, everything is relative except the physical world, which is an absolutely patent contradiction.
Everything is Relative, Which is an Absolute Statement
The most ridiculous thing about Einsteinian Relativity is that it states that everything is relative, which is an absolute statement and so at least one thing is not relative, that being the assertion that everything is relative…more paradoxical nonsense from Einstein.
The Invisible Chains of Occultism
In the world today, there is a Luciferian Occult Epistemological Autocracy where “Truth” is allocated to a few Luciferian Elite Scientism Priests. There is a self-professed superiority amongst these hypnotized pseudo-academics, drunk on blind ambition, and hell-bent on creating a worldwide Techno Mystical Technocracy. In their eyes, they should be the supreme rulers over all others in a sterile, Brave New World, digitally manipulated and controlled tyranny. Where any sane and seasoned thinker would see inherent limitations to what Mankind can know and perceive, there are no such intrinsic limitations of empirical or epistemic reasoning within this Cult of The Luciferian Elite.
Because of their emphasis upon radical empiricism, where all knowledge is derived from the five senses, they have quarantined off any other modes of epistemological investigation. They have delegated the five senses, but only THEIR five senses, as the only sovereign and rational option for scientific inquiry. Any Metaphysical opposition, or even empirical variance to the presumed superiority of their data and conclusions is mocked and ridiculed, while their gate-keepers of peer-review marginalized, condemned, and consigned to academic oblivion any who challenge their self-professed authority. Increasingly, many great academic minds are finding themselves relegated to the untenured trash heap of epistemic apostasy for any epistemological descent, regardless of the merits of their research and findings.
Even though empiricism, ultimately, is nothing more than a circumstantial juxtaposition existing merely as the temporal succession of spatial proximity, and not TRUTH, per se, they have made a deity of it. They preach it from their highest Ivory Tower as the ONLY method of inquiry. And yet in a paradoxical tour de force of hypocrisy, they fail to worship their own publicly lauded deity, empiricism, and instead they indulge in the deification of unproven quantum mystical claims, spurious cosmological assumptions, and nebulous and unfounded occult conjectures that have little or no relation to their or anyone else’s empirical observations or data, whatsoever.
The result is what I call Scientism, where the floodgates of ancient occult doctrines seep to the surface in the guise of Modern Science. Turning away from their own empirical religion, they have adopted a new religion based upon the repackaging of occult Hermeticism and Kabbalistic mysticism to create e fake form of science that they preach as empirical science.
Perhaps, alternative faculties of Truth are being concealed and suppressed by this Epistemological Cartel called Modern Science, which, indeed, reveres multiple pre-suppositions and unproven fantasies as the bedrock of its intellectual foundation. For all we know now, they are raising the Cone of Power at CERN, and using child sacrifice, Pentagrams, and ritualistic torture to advance “the body of scientific inquiry,” now. We really do not know. We do know, however, that they are no longer applying rational empirical reasoning anymore. If they are, there is little or no evidence of it. On the contrary, all we see are occult doctrines and occult alchemical principles repackaged and disseminated by them as tenable and actual science...which, indeed, it is not.
For example, they offer us Gravity, Big Bang Cosmology , Heliocentrism, and Evolution based upon micro-random constituent processes are still entirely unproven theories and have no empirical basis for being upheld as any kind of 'Truth", and yet they are embraced as "facts" by The Epistemological Cartel of paid-off, fraudulent scientist who have been systematically brainwashed.
We ALL have been brainwashed by this Hoax called Modern Science.
Before recoiling in disbelief, and calling all of this “Conspiracy,” that catch-all phrase applied to any who question their reality deeply or think critically, you may want to inquire deeper into why anyone would find it crucial to expose this Elite Cartel of Pseudo-Scientists before joining ranks with the very same Neo Scholastic Dictatorship of Epistemological Authoritarianism that you would run from in horror if you actually realized the number they have done on your mind.
This book plunges deep below the surface of the DECEPTION called Modern Science. Modern Science is neither empirical like we have been misled to believe nor honest in any way. If anything, it is merely repackaged Hermetic Alchemical Occultism pushed forward in the guise of a Trojan Horse called Modern Science: All Hoax and completely unsubstantiated mathematics with spurious claims to assumed authority and Truth, grounded on fake theoretical doctrines of circumstantial juxtaposition.
The unproven tenets of Modern Science make Mystical Faith look like hardcore Empiricism at this point, though you may have been misdirected to not even be suspicious of this situational crisis in science today, and in particular, within the fraudulent halls of Quantum Theoretic Science and Astrophysics: 100% Hoax.
The Ivory Tower is your enemy and not Christianity. Christianity has been misrepresented so fiercely that most defer to Scientism to avoid the apparent atrocities of The Christian Church. Long ago, flowing back to Pre-Constantine, the Christian Church was infiltrated by Pagan Occultist and perverted to create the Catholic brand of Christianity that many have been RIGHTFULLY fighting their whole life. This brand of Christianity is today known as The Vatican Church. But This Vatican Catholic interpretation of Christianity has NOTHING to do with authentic Spirituality or ACTUAL Christianity. It is Pagan in origin and practice.
Why do I mention Christianity with such emphasis? Because that is the real issue here, and it is the elephant in the room...everyone’s room. How did Christianity become the enemy of Mankind, when it teaches Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, and Salvation? How did it become subservient to this relatively new religion, Scientism? For, because of Jesuit Mind control, SCIENTISM is the new religion of the masses, “blinded by science,” as it were, to borrow the song idea from pop musician, Thomas Dolby. Hinduism, Atheism, The Islamic Faith, Pantheism, etc... these are all side shows. Christianity was and still is the main attraction under fire.
Why is it that the Occult Satanists and Illuminants have only one real goal...to destroy Christianity and genocide billions and make the rest their slaves under the New Age banner of:
“Christianity Wrong! Luciferianism Right!”
Why did you think that was their goal? Did you think they were just lightly considering the actual reality of The Christian Faith and the existence of God? Did you think the Luciferian Epistemological Cartel who run this world actually think God is a Hoax and Christianity is just some mystical hocus pocus? Did you really think they embrace a Quantum Pantheistic explanation to the Universe as the ultimate Eschatological destiny of humanity and the world...some species of Atheistic Empiricism, stemming from some Atheistic Soulless Materialism?
I assure you they do not, but they want YOU to think this way.
The reason they are in control is because you were NEVER supposed to figure any of this out.
The Illuminati infiltration of the Christian Faith that we hear about so much was merely a RECENT attempt to contaminate Christian Doctrine and take down Christianity to supplant it with a Pseudo-Mystical Religiosity...a kind of Atheistic Materialism, tempered with an Epistemically Autocratic mindset. The real infiltration began many, many centuries ago, as far back as the Luciferian promise of Apotheosis Through Esoteric Occult Secret Knowledge Was Offered to Mankind By The Serpent.
All of us have been carefully programmed by a full spectrum dominance, mind control grid of media, educational systems, entertainment, online web, revisionist history, NASA deceptions, and Jesuit Infiltrated Government, Business, and Religions.
Most of us have heard about what I am talking about, but I sincerely doubt the masses comprehend the sheer magnitude, scope, and influence that this ubiquitous occult mind control has had on their minds and ALL minds for over 1700+ years of Occult Religious Governance.
There is nobody more enslaved than the one who does not see the invisible chains.
The difference between me and most people is that I am absolutely aware that my mind is not my own. I am entirely aware that all my thoughts have been carefully programmed into my brain over a lifetime of exposure to the world we live in by Jesuit Mind Control NASA, Internet, Hollywood, Culture, Sub Culture, Countercultures, Media, Academia, News, Government, etc... all channels of Occult control.
And waking up is a bitch.
Once you see that you have been programmed to reject Christianity by these Vatican Jesuit Overlords, you then start to see why and what is actually going on with this world. It’s a slow process to see it... a process called, “Waking up.”
We have been hypnotized into an Astro-Theological mindset of Epistemic Materialism. The Catholic Church was never Christian. It was merely an Occult repackaging of Ancient Egyptian Hermeticism and Necromancy with the intention of vile murder, mind control, enslavement, and genocide.
And Quantum Mystical, Astrophysics is the religion of the New World Order.
You have been exposed to Satanic Pagan, Pantheistic Occultism, thinking it was AUTHENTIC Christianity...and nobody could blame you for hating Christianity in the form you have been shown it to be. Who wouldn’t hate it? You were carefully programmed to hate Christianity by Jesuit Masters...we ALL have been. Hollywood’s Satanic and rampant Pedophilia and hate of Christianity is just the tip of the iceberg.
The Crusades, the Inquisition, etc...and all of the alleged horrors of the Christian Faith you have been spoon-fed by The Jesuit Masters who govern all, have been fed to us through media, academia, internet, and Hollywood to destroy any “Faith” you could have possibly had.
Jesuit mind control is absolute mind control. All of it is and was a lie. Through artful sophistry and Hegelian Dialectical Materialism, Catholic Jesuit Vatican scholars have dropped an all-conclusive Technological Overlay of Scientific Authoritarianism over the world...now we all worship Scientism and hate Christianity.
That was the plan. The ridiculous “MYTHS” of Christianity we are told...the endless delusions of Christianity we are force fed... the absurdity of FAITH we are shown...the endless castigation of Christianity ...TOTAL ONLSLAUGHT...all of it was all by plan…the Jesuit Catholic Plan to destroy Christianity.
The Catholic Vatican wants you in an Astrophysical mindset. Who do you think invented the Big Bang Theory and supports the Theory of Evolution more than science does? .... The Vatican Church. They invented the Big Bang Theory. Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, RAS Associate was a Belgian Catholic Priest, astronomer and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Leuven, invented The Big Bang Theory. Let that sink in.....
The Vatican Church has the biggest telescope in the world at Mt. Graham. They govern all major Astrophysical and Astronomical institutions from their Jesuit Vatican Scientific Materialism helm.
Are you getting the picture yet? You were supposed to reject Christianity and embrace a more Astrophysical Materialistic mindset by design. That was the Vatican Catholic plan all along. The World is under their Epistemological Technocratic Autocracy, currently
The SCIENTISM priests, and especially the Jesuit Catholic SCIENTISM Priests, have been working on Man's mind for thousands of years to insert your brain into a Techno Mystical, Techno Spiritual, Quantum Worldview Trance. They have been successful, as in ABSOLUTELY successful in every way to the extent that most people have no idea what I am even talking about...THAT successful…indeed, dumbed down that far...the bottom of consciousness.
And now, it requires absolutely phenomenal scholarship to even see through any of this immense mind control. And so, this is the real conundrum...to understand what I am referring to...and why.
And yet, as I said, I am merely scratching the surface.
Atheism was gradually introduced into the world as a careful socially engineer mythology to mesmerize and brainwash the gullible masses. Epistemology is the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion. The Elite Occult established Epistemological Cartels of knowledge, leaning upon a radical empiricism to block any free thinking about the Biogenesis of Life (How life began). The Royal Society in England was one such CARTEL.
Through these Epistemological Cartels, Elite Occultists were able to use an Anthropocentric Epistemology to endorse a Metaphysical claim to Biogenesis and the disallowance or necessity of a God, making "Man the Measure of All Things."
By placing Man at the center of Biogenesis causation, God was factored out of the Creation Equation, and The Occult Elite were able to dominate Man's passion and rape Man of any real free thought or self-determinism, reducing Man to a random chaotic event in a meaningless and hostile Illusory Heliocentric universe.
The blind ignorance of Atheism was taught as the "NEW " CREATION MYTH", where no real mechanism or reason for life was offered...just ignorant and blind irrationality. This caused Cognitive Dissonance in the uneducated, masses, and so they clung to Atheism, as a Man overboard, devoid of any hope or faculties of legitimate reasoning power.
In this book, I seek to dispel all the occult myths and delusions we collectively suffer beneath and resurrect the empirical truth of Earth and Mankind’s place on it.

One Deception to Rule Them All
The One Deception to Rule Them All is nothing other than The Apotheosis of Man (to become God) through Occult Knowledge coming from alleged Alien contact and mediated and parceled out through the conduit of Artificial Intelligence. The future we face is where doctors are computer technicians instead of physicians.
Of course, the DECEPTION is that this Apotheosis will be for all Mankind. It will not. It was always intended for only The Luciferian Elite to ascend into Godhood while the rest of Mankind exist as their slaves or are exterminated.
Bible prophecy watchers call this time “The Great Tribulation” and predict a worldwide struggle to deal with the horrors brought on by massive unemployment caused by A.I., robot wars, and the feeling that humanity has been raped by an Artificial Alien Intelligence.
The Vatican Jesuits, (who may otherwise be called The AshkeNAZI, NAZI Party, Khazarian Mafia, Luciferian Elite, Talmudic Jews, or Illuminati), have been implicated by multiple researchers, including myself, as central to this nefarious plot against humanity. From Freemason, Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin’s Grandfather, The Jesuits eventually received their Evolutionary Theory, which was necessary to keep the Heliocentric Globe Model Lie going, as well as to aid in Social Darwinian Eugenics (Genocide) programs, worldwide. If the Universe came from a Big Bang, then it needed to evolve, and eventually evolve to a point where it is revealed that Man actually came from Alien life, which would lead to the idea of an Alien Messiah Anti-Christ. This long running thematic development was a wicked Jesuit machination, all along.
How do they intend to achieve this? First of all, they ARE achieving. It is all woven into the digital fabric of the 5G Artificial Intelligence Smart Grid Surveillance System that has come up around us over the past few decades. Everyone is tracked and watched in every move they make, online and off, while being socially engineered to conform to a Hive-Mind, psycho-social, consumer-slave mentality.
The ultimate goal will include smart dust Nano microchips in the skies, in the land, in the water, in our blood stream...the entire world online to serve a singular A.I. Borg intelligence
The 5G Artificial Intelligence Smart Grid is the superstructure that provides the iron-clad, technological prison that The Elite are using for their current worldwide war:
Yes, WW III has begun.
The Third World War is the phony War on Terror.
It started on September 11th, 2001, and it is The Hidden War that is being used to strip all civil liberties away from the citizens of the Earth . Eventually, through terror and Smart Grid technologies, all will either be exterminated or locked down into highly controlled surveillance, with minimal movement allowed. However, they will not know that is happening. People will submit to the Smart Grid Tyranny, as they are doing even now, under their own volition.
Privacy will be a thing of the past under this worldwide Smart Grid lockdown. But again, this situation will be the result of people’s desire to be imprisoned in this surveillance system that will be its real source of effectiveness. All the government has to do is claim they need to track all movements, whereabouts, and transactions for the benefit of national security, and the masses allow it. We have all been conditioned to permit this invasion of our privacies and lose of civil liberties since birth. We are a demoralized people. How many people, even today, do not willingly offer all of their personal data, doings, and moment to moment geographic location to Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat?
And modern sexuality has been transformed into a Brave New World style competition for deviance, and decadence, with no thought of procreation or child-rearing left. The Elite have employed their social engineers to make a perverted sexual animal of Man, reducing him into an attention whore who seeks to fulfill his narcissistic supply of likes, matches, and sexual conquests. Both genders are implicit in this. The Elite dictate all the sordid fetishes, gender styles, and sexual appetites of the world now. We watch movies where the hyper-sexualization of war, technology, violence, and leisure is commonplace. It is very much like Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, where sexual customs are determined by the World State. The act of sex is controlled by a system of social rewards for promiscuity and lack of commitment...the more promiscuous the better the reward. The old moral system of the world has been subverted and inverted.
We have become enslaved by a compulsion for easy pleasure without accountability and where a banal popular culture opiates the masses. A world where, day by day, big business encourages us to sacrifice our privacy and spy on friends and families through social media. Reality TV, selfies, mass pornography and the internet voyeurism are ubiquitous, and what was once the moral abomination of yesterday is now is now the blasé and perfectly acceptable of today.
We are swiftly becoming a world at the mercy of an all-powerful elite. It is a reoccurring theme gaining increasing momentum, especially in modern film and literature. Just think of The Hunger Games, Insurgent, “Black Mirror,” “Humans”, “Utopia”, and earlier, Brave New World and 1984. The emergence of an elite who control the majority, who invariably are low-income consumers, is a worldwide social phenomenon; increasingly we are taught to believe that a peaceful utopian life for all is only possible in a world where dissent and real human emotions are crushed. We see this in the film, Equilibrium, where all human emotions are suppressed for the cause of Universal Peace. And what is The New Age but this same false peace.
We are being subdued by a concealed weapon, Technology, the Luciferian Apple (Apple Computer) which was the doorway to the Occult Luciferian Promise of Salvation and Apotheosis from the Garden of Eden. It was always intended to be the Secret Knowledge that Man would discover to become God, albeit a false and crude imitation of God.
This digital weapon penetrates the mind and heart, filling it with a babel of distractions, news items, mutually irrelevant bits of information, cognitive dissonance, relentless news flashes, erotic images, social media pages, blasts of corybantic and sentimental music, our favorite bands and soundtrack noises in the form of truncated digital sound bites...continually repeated doses of drama that bring no catharsis, no peace, no lasting satisfaction, but merely create a craving for daily or even hourly digitally based dopamine fixes.
We are all digital addicts now.
And we are at a crossroads now.
We can choose to ignore the signs and allow a worldwide Smart Grid of unimaginable oppression to go up around us, or we can start opposing it by gradually UNPLUGGING from the Digital Beast System that has been constructed all around us. It is a choice that can no longer be ignored. The promise to “heal” the world has been offered to Mankind through the conduit of technology, but depopulation and mass genocide will precede all this, where only The Elite will be allowed to inhabit the New “Healed” World Order.
As long as we desire the pleasures of technology and stagger onwards, drunk upon the techno-hypnotic trance of digital convenience, we will become slaves to The Elite plan for Transhumanism, where The Luciferian Elite ascend and make everyone else their digitally imprisoned slaves.
The choice is ours.
Do You Need To Attend Church To Be Saved?
The Bible Says No
Does it shock you think that church attendance might not be necessary to live an active and robust life of faith? When we make church attendance necessary for the Christian life, or for our salvation, we twist the community of faith into a superficial body of earning and merit.
We mistakenly assume that there is something that we must do to earn our place in God’s kingdom. Scripture, however, is resolute in affirming that the is nothing that we do to earn God’s love or favor.
Paul writes, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Nowhere does scripture mandate one’s attendance at church as a condition of salvation.
This is, in fact, consistent with Jesus’ own life and ministry. Countless rules and regulations dictated how Jewish men and women lived faithfully before God. This involved everything from what to eat, when to work, who to associate with, and where to be on certain days. Jesus frequently contravened these rules and allowed his followers to do so as well.
Does The Bible Forbid Church Attendance?
Despite frequently contravening religious rules, despite being critical of the Temple structure and its leaders, the fact remains that Jesus was frequently at the Temple. This is significant given the fact that Jesus is the only person on earth who could justifiably live his spiritual life alone. Jesus did not need a community of faith to mediate his relationship with the Father.
And yet, Jesus gathered a community around him. He lived his faith in the company of others. He attended worship at the Temple. An interesting question to ask might be why Jesus himself participated in the community of faith. Or, to put it another way, why did Jesus go to church?
While scripture does not command Christians to attend church, it does speak powerfully about the blessing of the church community. James exhorts anyone who is sick to “call the elders of the church to pray over them,” and to “confess your sins to each other and pray for each other” (James 5:14-16).
The Book of Hebrews calls Christians to “consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing” (Hebrews 10:24-25). The early Christians did not live their faith in isolation.
Those who joined the Christian movement were immediately immersed in a dynamic community of fellow believers. The early Christians were devoted to prayer, fellowship, teaching, and breaking bread (Acts 2:42). Meeting together was the natural way that Christian people grew in their faith.
The entire narrative of scripture testifies to the importance of community in the spiritual life. From the opening movement in Genesis, God’s creative and redemptive identity is linked to the establishment of a holy people. Scripture assumes a corporate faithfulness. In fact, scripture is rarely addressed to an in individual.
Rather, the scriptures address a people, a community of faith witnessing to the power and presence of the living God. If the early Christians embodied their faith in the atmosphere of a community, why would we assume that we are somehow exempt from doing the same?
Can You Grow in Your Faith Alone?
Ultimately, we need to change the question. The question of whether on must go to church is like the age-old query regarding golf: “Can’t we worship God on the golf course?” The answer to this question is “of course you can... but do you?”
While your first-time golfing on Sunday morning may provide a rich experience of grace and freedom, will such a worshipful attitude continue? Without a lot of focus, and the building in of spiritual practices and habits, Sunday morning golf will easily devolve into nothing more than Sunday morning golf.
Too often this is what occurs when people separate themselves for active participation in the community of faith.
Instead of asking “Do I have to go to church?” it is better to ask whether we can live our faith in isolation. Can we maintain spiritual growth? Can we maintain an active prayer life? It is important to look at these things over a length of time. What's our true heart behind not attending church?
We are not talking about individual spiritual moments, but a life lived before God. The primary question to sit with is whether it is better for you to live out your faith in the company of others, or by yourself?
Importantly, nothing says that attendance at church is to occur at the expense of our livelihood, joy, safety, or heath. There are toxic communities in the world and God’s wish would be for us to remove ourselves from them.
God desires us to be safe, healthy, and whole. Any church set upon hate and judgment does not represent the body for which Christ is the head (Ephesians 1:22). Jesus will never call us to remain in a community that does not lead us into His loving and gracious presence.
Still, this does not detract from the reality that belonging to an authentic community of faith is beneficial to our spiritual lives. Going to church may not always be enjoyable or easy.
The church is not beneficial because it is the church, it is beneficial because we become immersed in a community of support, encouragement, challenge, and ministry. Jesus may not demand that you attend a church, but that does not mean he does not ask you to participate in one.
What Does Matthew 16:18 Mean?
Matthew 16:18
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.
-- Matthew 16:18
Full Context: Peter’s Confession of Christ
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! b For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. 18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
-- Matthew 16:13-18
Chapter Summary
A group of Pharisees and Sadducees demand a miracle from Jesus, though He has already performed many. Jesus refuses and warns the disciples to beware of the teachings of these religious leaders. Jesus asks the disciples who the people say He is, as well as their own opinion. Peter says Jesus is the Christ, and is commended for that statement. Jesus begins to reveal that He must suffer and be killed before being raised on the third day. Peter's attempt to scold Jesus results in a devastating rebuke. Jesus then says all who would follow Him must take up crosses of self-denial.
Analysis
This verse is often misunderstood because it is often misused. As with other verses, this is partly due to translation. The words written in Greek show a relationship not so obvious in English. Here, Jesus is responding to Peter's declaration that He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He declared Peter blessed for understanding this and insisted this understanding was given to Peter by God the Father (Matthew 16:13–17).
Roman Catholics point to what Jesus says here as evidence that Jesus established Peter as the first holder of a special office in the church on earth. They believe Peter to have been the first Pope, that Jesus gave him a spiritual authority over the other disciples and all believers in this moment. According to that claim, the "rock" Jesus will build on is Peter, himself.
However, there is an element of wordplay involved here. As written in Greek, Peter's name is Petros, meaning "a rock" or "a stone," and the word Jesus uses for the foundation is petra, which means "rock" in the sense of a substance or material. Jesus does not say "you are Petros, and on this Petros I will build…" nor does He say, "you are petra, and on this petra I will build." Rather, He says "you are Petros [a stone], and on this petra [rock] I will build my church." The rock on which God will establish His church is in the confession Peter has just made: that Jesus is "the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16).
Peter certainly becomes the leader of the disciples and first spokesman for Christ in the earliest days of the church. Under the power of the Holy Spirit, Peter preaches the initial sermon as the church is born and 3,000 people come to faith in Christ in a single day (Acts 2). Peter, though, is far from infallible and his faith falters on several occasions, both before Christ's death and resurrection (Matthew 16:23) and during the time of the apostles (Galatians 2:11–14).
However, the church—the collection of all people who come to faith in Christ as Savior––exists only because of the central truth that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God. That is the power that keeps the gates of hell from overcoming those who are in Christ, His people, the church. Peter plays a vital role for a time, but eventually disappears even from the story of the church's beginnings after Acts 16. Just as was promised, the foundation of God's new covenant is not centered around any fallible person or place, but in the hearts and minds of each individual person (Hebrews 8:6–13).
The Meaning of Life is To Glorify the Lord
In Hinduism, Brahma is referred to as “The Creator” within the Trimurti, the triple deity of supreme divinity that includes Shakti, Vishnu, and Shiva. He is also referred to as Svayambhu and is associated with creation, knowledge in The Vedas. Brahma is prominently mentioned in creation legends, though there are many varying versions. Brahma is ONE with his creation. The entire universe is Brahma, including all creations within it. This is Pantheism.
In some Puranas, Brahma created himself in a golden egg known as Hiranyagarbha. Brahma is frequently identified with the Vedic god Prajapati. During the post-Vedic period, Brahma was a prominent deity and his sect existed; however, by the 7th century, he was frequently attacked and lost his significance. He was also overshadowed by other major deities like Vishnu, Shiva and Devi. Along with other such Hindu deities, Brahma is sometimes viewed as a form (saguna) of the otherwise formless (nirguna) brahman, the ultimate metaphysical reality in Vedantic Hinduism.
As such, The Hindu God is a Schizophrenic God who dissociated himself into billions and billions of separate, yet entangled, parts in order to have this little cosmic play for his amusement and pleasure. It is a five year old’s interpretation of God. And since all is Brahma, there is no Sin since whether you are serial killer or Mother Teresa, you are the same recycled cosmic dust just swimming around into various forms, manifestations, and currents, with nothing better or worse than anything else. It is all just Brahma being Brahma.
However, quite differently than Brahma in Hinduism, The Biblical Lord is a Transcendental Lord, and as such, is completely separate from HIS Creation. HE is not bound by anything HIS Creation does and is entirely unaffected by any natural affairs or occurrences, human or otherwise. This is not to say that The Lord does not care or love HIS Creation, but just that HIS Creation has no dominion in any way over HIM.
The Earth and The Cosmos are NOT extensions of The Lord. The Lord did not create all that is as a part of HIMSELF in order to have company, quell some kind of cosmic boredom, or express HIMSELF in a natural multiplicity. All these ideas are merely occult Pantheism, the kind of stuff that constitutes the nucleus of Hinduism, with its Creator, Brahma.
People often ask. “What is the meaning of life?” The Eastern Occult answer is that The Cosmos is Brahma, and Brahma essentially created everything because Brahma was bored, and so he fractalized himself in order to enjoy the multiplicity of expressions of himself, a kind of, “I created everything, but now I have amnesia, and so I get to experience everything (Myself) as separate, yet connected in entangled hierarchies and component parts.”
Nevertheless, The Biblical meaning of life is to glorify The Lord. All thoughts and deeds are in worship, tribute, and glorification of The Lord in Christianity. This glorification of The Lord emanates naturally from Mankind’s gratitude for life, Salvation from Sin and Wickedness, and the inexpressible majesty of The Lord’s Grace and Power. If you are looking for meaning for your life, all you need to do is seek to find The Lord’s Will and glory and magnify it. Human Will is often selfish and carnal, but to find the Lord’s Will recalibrates your life upon perfect meaning, for again, there is no meaning for Mankind other than seeking the perfection of The Lord. There is no other lasting meaning in life apart from this. All other meanings are vain, transitory, and as fleeting as the wind.
Chapter 1
Angular Acceleration and The Earth’s 66,616 Mph Elliptical Orbit
First all, it’s no accident that The Earth allegedly travels at 66,616 mph around the Sun. Look at all those sixes! It all smells of Masonic occultism, to be sure.
Secondly, you would feel the trip at this fantastic speed.
Let’s investigate why.
The Difference Between Linear Momentum vs. Angular Momentum
Momentum is a property of moving objects that have mass. Often, we talk about two types of momenta: linear and angular. The main difference between linear momentum and angular momentum is that linear momentum is a property of an object which is in motion with respect to a reference point (i.e. any object changing its position with respect to the reference point) while angular momentum is a property of objects which are not only changing their position but also the direction of their position with respect to a reference point (i.e. they are not moving in a straight line).
Momentum is a property of moving objects that have mass. Often, we talk about two types of momenta: linear and angular. The main difference between linear momentum and angular momentum is that linear momentum is a property of an object which is in motion with respect to a reference point (i.e. any object changing its position with respect to the reference point) while angular momentum is a property of objects which are not only changing their position but also the direction of their position with respect to a reference point (i.e. they are not moving in a straight line).
Angular Momentum
In physics, Angular Momentum is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum. It is an important quantity in physics because it is a conserved quantity…the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant.
Just as for angular velocity, there are two special types of angular momentum of an object: the spin angular momentum is the angular momentum about the object's centre of mass, while the orbital angular momentum is the angular momentum about a chosen center of rotation. The total angular momentum is the sum of the spin and orbital angular momenta. The orbital angular momentum vector of a point particle is always parallel and directly proportional to its orbital angular velocity vector, where the constant of proportionality depends on both the mass of the particle and its distance from origin. The spin angular momentum vector of a rigid body is proportional but not always parallel to the spin angular velocity vector, making the constant of proportionality a second-rank tensor rather than a scalar.
Orbital Angular Momentum In Three Dimensions
Relationship between force (F), torque (τ), momentum (p), and angular momentum (L) vectors in a rotating system. r is the position vector.
To completely define orbital angular momentum in three dimensions, it is required to know the rate at which the position vector sweeps out angle, the direction perpendicular to the instantaneous plane of angular displacement, and the mass involved, as well as how this mass is distributed in space. By retaining this vector nature of angular momentum, the general nature of the equations is also retained, and can describe any sort of three-dimensional motion about the center of rotation – circular, linear, or otherwise.
Constant Linear Motion versus Angular Motion
If you were standing on the station platform, you would clearly see the surface was standing still while the train whizzed by. But from the inside, you’d feel like you were standing still while the world moved by. From either frame of reference, you feel like you’re the one staying still. Onboard the train, the world moves. Standing on the platform, the train moves.
Now, it you were at a constant velocity on a train, moving at 100 mph, eventually you would not feel any motion, aside from the basic rumbling of the wheels on the track. You would not be tossed to and fro if the train maintained a constant speed.
But, if that same train rook a corner at 100 mph, you would feel it. The change in linear motion to angular motion is always felt. Being exposed to changes in motion and movement can have significant biomechanical effects on the human body and, in general we try to minimize our exposure to movement. Most transportation devices are designed to reduce acceleration as much as is reasonably practicable. Amusement rides on the other hand, are unique in that they are deliberately designed to expose us to large and changing types of motion.
We are all familiar with the terms displacement, velocity and acceleration. We experience velocity when we move and acceleration when we change the velocity at which we move. Our body does not feel velocity, but only the change of velocity ( i.e. positive acceleration), brought about by the force exerted by an object on our body. For example, a passenger in a constantly accelerating car will feel a constant force from the seat on his or her body.
Positive Acceleration Stress
Positive acceleration stress occurs when the direction of acceleration is along the long axis of the body from head to foot. As acceleration increases the force exerted on the pilot from 1 g to 2 g, there is an awareness of increased pressure and a general feeling of heaviness in the seat, hands, and feet.
Uniform Circular Motion versus Angular Acceleration
In physics, angular acceleration refers to the time rate of change of angular velocity. As there are two types of angular velocity, namely spin angular velocity and orbital angular velocity, there are naturally also two types of angular acceleration, called spin angular acceleration and orbital angular acceleration respectively. Spin angular acceleration refers to the angular acceleration of a rigid body about its centre of rotation, and orbital angular acceleration refers to the angular acceleration of a point particle about a fixed origin.
Uniform circular motion involves an object traveling a circular path at constant speed. Since the speed is constant, one would not usually think that the object is accelerating. However, the direction is constantly changing as the object traverses the circle. Thus, it is said to be accelerating. One can feel this acceleration when one is on a roller coaster. Even if the speed is constant, a quick turn will provoke a feeling of force on the rider. In physics, this feeling of motion is understood as a product of angular acceleration, which occurs anytime linear motion is converted into angular motion.
In short, any change in velocity or direction is felt by the passenger.
The Earth Both Changes Velocity And Direction As It Orbits The Sun
Does Earth's elliptical orbit speed up and slow down when its closer/farther from the Sun? Yes! Because of its elliptical orbit, it is moving faster when closest and slowest when farthest.
In addition, The Earth is in continual change of direction it an elliptical an at 66,667 mph.
Combing both vectors of angular acceleration created by the elliptical path, plus the slowing and accelerating in relationship to The Sun, and injecting the velocity of 66,667 mph into the equation, we arrive at “G-Force” quotient equal to 1000+ times the “G-Force” pulled by the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. Fighter jets such as the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird can pull up to 9 “G’s” vertically, and most pilots black out at that point. At 66,667 mph, on a wild elliptical orbital transit of angular acceleration around The Sun, your body would be crushed and compressed in second, and then whip off The Earth, irrespective of mythical Gravity.
And yet, walk outside on a calm day…perfect stillness.
Now Add All The Motion Vectors
When we soberly consider the FOUR vectors of contrary motion that The Earth and Sun experience as they fly though an expanding Universe, according to the wildly magical and imaginative Heliocentric Theory, we see immediately the hoax of The Expanding Universe Model. No amount of ridiculous 1950s Bell Laboratory “Background Radiation” fables can hide the raw data:
1) First, the Earth is allegedly spinning at approximately 1000 mph.
2) Second, while the Earth spins, it is also allegedly moving 66,616 mph around the Sun
3) Third, while these two motions are occurring, the Sun is also allegedly, and in fact, our whole Solar System is allegedly orbiting around the center of The Milky Way Galaxy. We are supposedly moving at an average velocity of 828,000 km/hr.
4) Fourth, the entire Milky Way Galaxy is also allegedly going 670,000,000 mph on the membrane of an expanding Universe.
And yet, walk outside on a calm day…perfect stillness.
Any more questions?
Devil’s Advocate: The Heliocentric Refutation Against Felt Motion on an Earth Moving in an Elliptical Orbit at 66,6616 MPH
Elliptic Orbit
In Astrodynamics or Celestial Mechanics, an elliptic orbit or elliptical orbit is a Kepler orbit with an eccentricity of less than 1; this includes the special case of a circular orbit, with an orbital eccentricity equal to 0.
Orbital Eccentricity
The orbital eccentricity of an astronomical object is a dimensionless parameter that determines the amount by which its orbit around another body deviates from a perfect circle. A value of 0 is a circular orbit, values between 0 and 1 form an elliptic orbit, 1 is a parabolic escape orbit, and greater than 1 is a hyperbola. The term derives its name from the parameters of conic sections, as every Kepler orbit is a conic section. It is normally used for the isolated two-body problem, but extensions exist for objects following a rosette orbit through the galaxy.
The Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle.
It is elliptical, or slightly oval-shaped. This means there is one point in the orbit where Earth is closest to the Sun, and another where Earth is farthest from the Sun. The closest point occurs in early January, and the far point happens in early July.
However, The Earth’s elliptical shape is very slight and close to circular, with an Orbital Eccentricity of approximately 0.0167, again with 0 being the value of a circular orbit.
What is the distance of The Earth’s orbit?
In The Heliocentric Model, The Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of 149.60 million km (92.96 million miles), and one complete orbit takes 365.256 days (1 sidereal year), during which time Earth has traveled allegedly 940 million km (584 million miles).
Perihelion and Aphelion and the velocity of The Earth’s “Swirled Sling” around The Sun
The terms Perihelion and Aphelion describe different points in the Earth’s orbit of the Sun. Remember that the Earth orbits the Sun in an elliptical path—which is oval, not circular. This means that the Earth is about 3 million miles nearer to the Sun in January at its nearest point than in July at its farthest point.
- Aphelion is the point of the Earth’s orbit that is farthest away from the Sun.
- Perihelion is the point of the Earth’s orbit that is nearest to the Sun, where The Earth is said to be “Swirled Slinged” around The Sun.
The words come from Ancient Greek, in which Helios means “Sun,” apo means “far,” and peri means “close.”
- At Perihelion, where The Earth is said to be “Swirled Slinged” around The Sun, The Earth is 91,399,454 miles away from The Sun.
- At Aphelion, The Earth will be 94,510,886 miles away from the Sun.
The formula for the velocity of an object at some distance r from the Sun is:
v = sqrt[GM*(2/r - 1/a)]
Where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Sun, and a is the planet's semimajor axis.
- At Perihelion, The Earth's distance from The Sun is: r=a(1-e)
- And at Aphelion, it’s: r=a(1+e)
- G=6.673*10-11 N m2/kg2
- M=1.989*1030 kg
- a=1.496*1011 m
- e=0.017
So plugging in the numbers:
- The speed of The Earth at Perihelion (” around The Sun) is: 30,300 m/s
- And the speed of The Earth at Aphelion it's 29,300 m/s.
Conclusion
1) Since the m/s acceleration and deceleration differential is such a small variance, and since The Earth’s orbital eccentricity around The Sun (0.0167) is so small, amounting to nearly a perfect circle when we consider the astronomically massive semi-circular axis of The Earth’s elliptical orbit (93 million miles + 93 million miles = 186 million miles), it is a m/s acceleration and deceleration differential not worth computing.
2) Additionally, this m/s acceleration and deceleration variance takes place over many millions of miles and which, being so gradual, might not be felt by “passengers” on The Earth.
3) Lastly since one complete orbit takes 365.256 days (1 sidereal year), during which time Earth has traveled allegedly 940 million km (584 million miles), it is conceivable that such a gradual angular momentum, experienced over such a vast distance of transit and time, may not be felt by “passengers” on The Earth.
Problems With This Heliocentric Refutation
The primary problems with this aforementioned Heliocentric refutation is that it relies on a number of unproven assumptions in order to make its point. Because of this, it ends up being a kind of tail-wagging-the-dog circular mess of presuppositions.
For instance:
1) The entire explanation hinges upon the idea of Gravity. Gravity is an unproven mental construct dependent upon the existence of unproven planetary and stellar molten cores, as well as the unproven gravitational properties of mass. None of this can be proven in the known observable world. It is all assumed in order to make The Heliocentric Model work.
Strike one!
2) Where are these astronomical distances coming from? Who is coming up with a Sun that is 93 million miles away? 500 years ago, The Sun was said by Astronomers to be 3 million miles away. Then they moved it away to 50 million miles from The Earth. Now its suddenly 93 million miles away? The goal is to come up with distances that they can plug into their equations in order to make their groundless equations work. That’s is all that is happening here.
Strike two!
3) Where are all these astronomical sizes coming from? The Sun is said to be 864,400 miles (1,391,000 kilometers) across. This is about 109 times the diameter of Earth. The Sun is said to weigh about 333,000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1,300,000 planet Earths can fit inside of it. Again, what hash smoking Astronomer is coming up with all this nonsense? It is as though they stared this journey in the 15th century of making up astronomical distances, sizes, and magnitudes and now their model is so twisted and bent out of shape that they are forced to create the craziest variables in order to continue to make their equations at least appear to still work on paper. But, none of it works in the real world. That’s the problem.
Strike three and you’re out!!
4) There also may be a felt G-Force to consider during m/s acceleration and deceleration while being “Swirled Slinged” around the Sun. Even though the angular rotation is gradual and a massive sweeping arc, we are still talking about approximately 66,6601 mph, and any change in direction at that speed would be tremendously felt. In saying this, we admit that there is no net G force when there is constant speed in a straight path by virtue of its speed alone. For example, if an object moves on Earth longitudinally close to Earth's surface at a uniform speed, then the downward force on it will be 1G. But if it moves vertically up or at an angle then it will have to have accelerated against 1G or against 1Gsine x, where x is the angle of flight, at a higher value to get to that velocity first. So there is no G-force operational when an object is moving in a straight path at 1000 km/hr, let’s say, by virtue of its speed alone. It is during acceleration or deceleration that the G-force manifests when the object accelerates or decelerates with its own force acting on it. The scenario where G-force manifests with constant speed but changing direction, hence a changing velocity, thence an acceleration is during rotational movement. The equation for the longitudinal acceleration(G-force) is from Newton's second law of motion : F = ma, where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration. The equation for the centripetal force which is the G-force during rotational movement is F = mv^2/r, where m is the mass, v is the speed of rotation, and r is radius of rotational movement.
Strike four, conceivably, and you’re still out!!
- And let us not forget the combined contrary vectors of motions and the felt implications for the sensitive human vestibular canal for all this contrary motion shooting out at millions of miles an hour:
1) First, the Earth is allegedly spinning at approximately 1000 mph.
2) Second, while the Earth spins, it is also allegedly moving 66,616 mph around the Sun
3) Third, while these two motions are occurring, the Sun is also allegedly, and in fact, our whole Solar System is allegedly orbiting around the center of The Milky Way Galaxy. We are supposedly moving at an average velocity of 828,000 km/hr.
4) Fourth, the entire Milky Way Galaxy is also allegedly going 670,000,000 mph on the membrane of an expanding Universe.
Strike five, more than likely, and you’re still out!!
And so, even though you can generate math, as I have shown, to refute arguments against The Heliocentric Model, the bigger game being played is really a game of imaginary distances, imaginary Gravity, contrived equations, imaginary celestial sizes, and imaginary velocities, which can all be manipulated in order to reverse engineer and fabricate a Heliocentric Model that only works on paper.
This is not science.
At best, it is fantasy mathematics and imaginary world building.
In other words, to make The heliocentric Model work you have to create your variables, properties, and conditions out of thin air from your imagination, and then reverse engineer all your variables to fit with your imagined model to make it all work.
Again this is just model world building using mathematics. It is not empirical science. And as everyone knows from playing computer games, you can create any world you want with mathematics, and then make all your equations and variables fit your imaginary world. But that does not mean the model you built is a real tangible and objective reality. It is merely a model based upon reversed engineered mathematics.
A Masterpiece of Reverse Engineering: Heliocentrism
Mathemagicians of Science
The Heliocentric Model is nothing more than the result of the collective culmination of hundreds of Astronomers and Astrophysics, over centuries, taking the actual empirically accurate data about the Earth and the Universe and reverse engineering every detail to fit a Heliocentric Model. For each Flat Plane proof that was offered, they would use perfected mathematics to explain it away and place the celestial objects farther and farther away from Earth, while creating the fantasy that the Earth was a spinning ball orbiting a Sun. The mathematics created to fabricate this Heliocentric Deception has no relation to our actual world. As Nikola Tesla said:
“Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.” -- Nikola Tesla
They placed Polaris quadrillions of miles away from Earth to mathematically account for its lack of stellar Parallax in its stationary fixed position. Additionally, since the Heliocentric Model is simply an occult Sun Worshipping religion, the Sun had to be placed at the center of the model. To achieve this, they had to make the Sun over one million times larger than The Earth so that it appeared logical that the Earth was orbiting the Sun. But a new problem arose with a massive Sun that looked so small from Earth, and so they said the Sun looks small because it is 93 million miles away.
To make the Sun and Moon makes sense since obviously they are about the same size when you look at them, they had to use perfected mathematics to trick the observer into thinking that The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, while the Moon is also 400 times farther away from Earth, so the Sun and the Moon have the same apparent size in the sky.
You see they reverse engineered their model from every problematic question that arose. As George Orwell wrote in his dystopian masterpiece, 1984:
“Do you suppose it is beyond us to produce a dual system of astronomy? The stars can be near or distant, according as we need them. Do you suppose our mathematicians are unequal to that? Have you forgotten doublethink?”
--George Orwell
Ouranos and The Positions of The Sun, The Moon, The Stars, and The Wandering Stars: Three Aspects of The Heavens
The New King James Version of the Bible uses the word Heaven 532 times in 502 different verses. The Hebrew word usually translated "Heaven," Shamayim , is a plural noun form that literally means "the heights." The Greek word translated "Heaven" is Ouranos. It refers to that which is raised up or lofty. Both Shamayim and Ouranos are used variously in Scripture to refer to a three-fold amalgamation of celestial strata existing above The Earth.
Thus, Ouranos would include The First Heaven (Raqia), The Second Heaven (The Cosmos encased within The Firmament), and The Third Heaven (Empyrean)
Structure of Ouranos: Three Aspects of The Heavens
- The First Heaven (Raqia): The Atmosphere (Genesis 1:20)
- The Second Heaven (The Cosmos encased within The Firmament): Inner Space (Isaiah 50:3, Deuteronomy 1:10)
- The Third Heaven (Empyrean): God’s Dwelling Place (2 Corinthians 12:2)
The First Heaven: Raqia
- The Sun and Moon exist in Raqia.
There is, first of all, Raqia, The Atmospheric Heaven. This is the sky, or the Troposphere, the region of breathable atmosphere that covers The Earth, above. For example, Genesis 7:11-12 says, "The windows of Heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the Earth forty days and forty nights." There the word "Heaven" refers to the dome of atmosphere above the world, which is where the hydrological cycle occurs. Psalm 147:8 says that God "covers the Heavens with clouds." That is The First Heaven. The Hebrew word that is translated as “expanse” in the NASB is Raqia . This word is translated as “firmament” in the KJV Bible and “vault” in the NIV Bible. The Hebrew word occurs seventeen times in the Old Testament (Genesis 1:6, 7 (occurs three times), 8, 14, 15, 17, 20; Psalm 19:1; 150:1; Ezekiel 1:22, 23, 25, 26; 10:1; Daniel 12:3). In Genesis 1 the word always has the idea “of something that is created by being spread out.”
The basic meaning of the noun is determined by a consideration of the verb Raqia. Here the basic idea is “to spread out,” and specifically the spreading out of the Earth at creation (cf. Ps. 136:6; Isa. 42:5; 44:24) or the spreading out of the sky (cf. Job 37:18). In Isa. 40:19 the meaning is to overlay or plate (with gold). A Raqia , then, is something that is created by being spread out either by stretching (e.g., a tent) or by hammering .
Therefore in Genesis 1:6-8, the word refers to space that was created between the waters below and the waters above. Psalm 19:1 uses Raqia to the Heavens being stretched out. Both Psalm 150:1 and Daniel 12:3 actually refer to Heaven being stretched out. In Ezekiel 1:22, 25, 26 Raqia refers to an area above the heads of the “living beings.” In Ezekiel 1:23 Raqia has a different meaning or nuance since it refers to the wings of the “living beings” being spread out.
This helps us understand that Raqia does not refer to a solid dome with a sea of water or a sea of water above a dome. It refers to the expansion or an expanded area below the Firmament..
The Second Heaven: The Cosmos, encased within The Firmament
- The Stars and Wandering Stars exist inside The Cosmos.
The Second Heaven is where The Stars, The Moon, and The Wandering Stars inhabit. The Second Heaven is essentially The Cosmos which exists inside The Firmament, separating the lower Raqia from God’s Dwelling Place. In other words, it stands to reason that The Firmament is a composite idea which includes The Cosmos.
Genesis 1 says:
Then God said, “Let there be lights in The Firmament of the Heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in The Firmament of the Heavens to give light on The Earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the Stars also. God set them in The Firmament (Encasing The Cosmos) of the Second Heavens to give light on the Earth (14-17).
And so, conceivably, The Cosmos (The Second Heaven), which is encased within the quasi-vitreous metallic glass shell that we call The Firmament, includes The Stars and The Wandering Stars.
The Third Heaven: God’s Dwelling Place
- The Throne of The Lord exists in God’s Dwelling Place
The Third Heaven, the one Paul speaks of in 2 Corinthians 12, is the Heaven where God dwells with His holy angels and those saints who have died. The other two Heavens will pass away (2 Pet. 3:10), but this Highest Heaven is Eternal.
The Third Heaven, God’s Dwelling Place, is protected from anything dwelling in Raqia or The Cosmos, below, by the upper epidermis of The Firmament, which encases the totality of The Cosmos.
In Psalm 33:13–14, it says:
13 The Lord looks down from Heaven; he sees all the children of man;
14 from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the Earth
Interestingly, Paul uses the phrase “third heaven” to refer to how he was transported to heaven; it’s the same Greek word used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 to refer to the Rapture of The Church. Following his list of “boasts” in 2 Corinthians 11:22–33, Paul further verifies his apostolic office by including his “visions and revelations from the Lord” (2 Corinthians 12:1). The apostle is unsure whether he was physically in the body or apart from the body when he experienced Heaven (2 Corinthians 12:2–3).
This Heaven is in a category all of its own. Unlike the created first and second heavens, The Third Heaven is the eternal dwelling place of God and His heavenly hosts. And ever since Christ conquered sin and opened the way to Heaven for forgiven sinners, all departed souls that have been redeemed by His blood are now in this Heaven.
We would love to know more about the Third Heaven. But if The Bible did reveal more, we wouldn’t understand or be able to picture it. Since the Third Heaven is outside of our time and space dimension, the Third Heaven is Infinite and Eternal. As such, it is a “realm” more than a place. And it’s impossible for a finite mind to truly comprehend things of infinite proportion. Even the infamous The DMT experience is but Lucifer’s crude mockery of Heaven compared to The Highest Heaven.
The Book of Enoch Proves a Flat Earth
Zen Garcia Quote
“Shortly after accepting The Flat Earth as a model for the world, I decided to revisit the Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries to see if my new understanding would somehow mirror what Enoch was sharing as the motion of the Sun and Moon. As I began to read chapters 71-82, I found to my utter amazement that I was able to grasp those passages. I knew then that the vision that the angel Uriel had shown to Enoch could only be deciphered if one were to imagine Enoch's description of the revolution of the Sun and the Moon as seen from above the flat circular plane of the Earth as described by Isaiah, and that Enoch must have been taken up to perhaps where Polaris is, centered directly above the North Pole, and while looking down at the backdrop of the Earth, was instructed on the motions of both the Sun and Moon. With such a conception, it is in my opinion impossible to apply these descriptions to the model of the Earth as a spherical planet.”
--Zen Garcia
The Foundations of Heaven: 2 Samuel 22:8
“Then the Earth shook and trembled; the Foundations of Heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.”
Think about the lower circular rim of The Firmament resting upon the circular Antarctic Ice Shelf…”The Foundations of Heaven,” spoken about in 2 Samuel 22:8.
The Book of Enoch
Enoch And Contemporary Theology
Enochic studies have traditionally been historical, focusing on the meanings of the text for its ancient audiences. Enoch counts as Old Testament scripture in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and has played a significant role in its theology, especially via the andemta tradition of interpretation. In 2015 a group of scholars from Ethiopia and other countries held meetings in Ethiopia and the UK to explore the significance of Enoch for contemporary theology. The initial outcome was a collection of essays published in 2017 on various theological topics, including justice, political theology, the environment, the identity of the Son of Man, suffering and evil.
The Book of Enoch is an ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious text, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Enoch contains unique material on the origins of demons and Nephilim, why some angels fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Genesis flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah.
The older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) of the text are estimated to date from about 300–200 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to 100 BC.
Enoch in The Bible
Various Aramaic fragments found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Koine Greek and Latin fragments, are proof that the Book of Enoch was known by Jews and early Near Eastern Christians. This book was also quoted by some 1st and 2nd century authors as in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs. Authors of the New Testament were also familiar with some content of the story. A short section of 1 Enoch (1:9) is cited in the New Testament Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14–15, and is attributed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 Enoch 60:8), although this section of 1 Enoch is a midrash on Deuteronomy 33:2. Several copies of the earlier sections of 1 Enoch were preserved among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
It is not part of the biblical canon used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews). While the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church consider the Book of Enoch as canonical, other Christian groups regard it as non-canonical or non-inspired, but may accept it as having some historical or theological interest.
It is today wholly extant only in the Ethiopian Ge'ez language, with earlier Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and a few Greek and Latin fragments. For this and other reasons, the traditional Ethiopian belief is that the original language of the work was Ge'ez, whereas modern scholars argue that it was first written in either Aramaic or Hebrew, the languages first used for Jewish texts; Ephraim Isaac suggests that the Book of Enoch, like the Book of Daniel, was composed partially in Aramaic and partially in Hebrew: 6 No Hebrew version is known to have survived. The book itself asserts that its author was Enoch, before the biblical flood.
The most complete Book of Enoch comes from Ethiopic manuscripts, maṣḥafa hēnok, written in Ge'ez, which were brought to Europe by James Bruce in the late 18th century and were translated into English in the 19th century.
Rob Skiba: Enoch and The Still Flat Earth
When it comes to the Book of Enoch, I know many want to dispute whether or not we should consider it canon, or even a valid source for deriving, confirming and/or elaborating on the canonized Biblical truths. Many commentaries have been written giving the various perceived pros can cons of doing so. For me, I have no need to consider it "Scripture." However, I do value it primarily because the authors of Scripture certainly did, even to the point of directly quoting from it, while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Concerning the seeming ambiguities of canonized Scripture as it pertains to the issues being addressed here in this essay, I like the way Robert Schadewald handles the Book of Enoch in his online article:
Ambiguities in ancient documents can often be elucidated by consulting contemporary documents. The most important ancient document describing Hebrew cosmology is 1 Enoch (sometimes called the Ethiopic Book of Enoch), one of those long, disjointed, scissors and paste jobs beloved by ancient scribes. For a dozen or so centuries, European scholars knew 1 Enoch only from numerous passages preserved in the patristic literature. In 1773, the Scottish adventurer James Bruce found complete copies in Ethiopia.
Numerous manuscripts of 1 Enoch have since been found in Ethiopian monasteries. Turn of the century scholars concluded that parts of the book are pre-Maccabean, and most (perhaps all) of it was composed by 100 B.C. [Charles, 1913]. These conclusions were largely vindicated when numerous fragments of 1 Enoch were found among the so-called Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran.
First Enoch is important for another reason. Unlike the canonical books of the Bible, which (in my view) were never meant to teach science, sections of 1 Enoch were intended to describe the natural world. The narrator sometimes sounds like a 2nd century B.C. Carl Sagan explaining the heavens and earth to the admiring masses. The Enochian cosmology is precisely the flat-earth cosmology previously derived from the canonical books.
Whether or not we consider the Book of Enoch to be Scripture is irrelevant. If you at least accept it as having any measure of credibility as a contemporary Biblical commentary, you'll see this concept of a flat/enclosed earth is described in even more detail by its writer(s), thus revealing how the ancient Hebrews viewed the heavens, earth, sun, moon and stars when thy both wrote and read the canonized texts. For Enoch to have been so well preserved in multiple copies in the Dead Sea Scrolls and for authors such as Jude and later "Church Fathers" to quote directly from it, this shows us the book was held in high regard, at least well into the first few centuries AD. I contend it is still worthy of taking notice of in our day as well. Especially, when you consider the opening words of the book:
1 Enoch 1:1. The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. 2. And he took up his parable and said--Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.
I believe we are that remote, future generation, that was to come and live "in the day of tribulation." As many of you know, I published a book called, Genesis and the Synchronized, Biblically-Endorsed, Extra-Biblical Texts a couple of years ago, which includes the book of 1 Enoch. In the Introduction to that volume, I wrote that I was putting together a stand-alone version of the Book of Enoch with footnotes and commentary. As I began working on that, I found that when you get to about chapter 17 or so, you start finding some very interesting descriptions of heaven and earth, which sound a lot like the Flat/Enclosed Earth model. We will now explore just a handful of them here.
Enoch's View on The Nature of The Earth:
1 Enoch 18:1. I saw the treasuries of all the winds: I saw how He had furnished with them the whole creation and the firm foundations of the earth. 2. And I saw the corner-stone of the earth: I saw the four winds which bear [ the earth and ] the firmament of the heaven. 3. And I saw how the winds stretch out the vaults of heaven, and have their station between heaven and earth: these are the pillars of the heaven . 4. I saw the winds of heaven which turn and bring the circumference of the sun and all the stars to their setting. 5. I saw the winds on the earth carrying the clouds: I saw the paths of the angels. I saw at the end of the earth the firmament of the heaven above. And I proceeded and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are seven mountains of magnificent stones, three towards the east, and three towards the south. 7. And as for those towards the east, one was of colored stone, and one of pearl, and one of jacinth, and those towards the south of red stone. 8. But the middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God, of alabaster, and the summit of the throne was of sapphire. 9. And I saw a flaming fire. And beyond these mountains 10. is a region the end of the great earth: there the heavens were completed. 11. And I saw a deep abyss, with columns of heavenly fire, and among them I saw columns of fire fall, which were beyond measure alike towards the height and towards the depth. 12. And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and no birds, but it was a waste and horrible place.
Is Job 26:7 (concerning the earth hanging on "nothing") just a confirmation of what Enoch is saying here? Enoch described a place where there was nothing. Job describes the same:
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Enoch clearly describes the earth on a foundation (like so many other authors as seen above). But he also describes a place beyond the ends of the earth. A place of horrible nothingness. Whatever your view may be, it is clear, either one of these authors has borrowed from the other or they both were inspired by the same Source.
Enoch Again Describes This Place:
1 Enoch 21: 1. And I proceeded to where things were chaotic. 2. And I saw there something horrible: I saw neither a heaven above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place chaotic and horrible.
1 Enoch 23:1. From thence I went to another place to the west of the ends of the earth.
1 Enoch 33:1. And from thence I went to the ends of the earth and saw there great beasts, and each differed from the other; and (I saw) birds also differing in appearance and beauty and voice, the one differing from the other. 2. And to the east of those beasts I saw the ends of the earth whereon the heaven rests, and the portals of the heaven open. 3. And I saw how the stars of heaven come forth, and I counted the portals out of which they proceed, and wrote down all their outlets, of each individual star by itself, according to their number and their names, their courses and their positions, and their times and their months, as Uriel the holy angel who was with me showed me. 4. He showed all things to me and wrote them down for me: also their names he wrote for me, and their laws and their companies.
Enoch's View on The Nature of The Sun, Moon, and Stars:
1 Enoch 72:
1. The book of the courses of the luminaries of the heaven, the relations of each, according to their classes, their dominion and their seasons, according to their names and places of origin, and according to their months, which Uriel, the holy angel, who was with me, who is their guide, showed me; and he showed me all their laws exactly as they are, and how it is with regard to all the years of the world and unto eternity, till the new creation is accomplished which dureth till eternity. 2. And this is the first law of the luminaries: the luminary the Sun has its rising in the eastern portals of the heaven, and its setting in the western portals of the heaven. 3. And I saw six portals in which the sun rises, and six portals in which the sun sets and the moon rises and sets in these portals, and the leaders of the stars and those whom they lead: six in the east and six in the west, and all following each other in accurately corresponding order: also many windows to the right and left of these portals. 4. And first there goes forth the great luminary, named the Sun, and his circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and he is quite filled with illuminating and heating fire. 5. The chariot on which he ascends, the wind drives, and the sun goes down from the heaven and returns through the north in order to reach the east, and is so guided that he comes to the appropriate (lit. 'that') portal and shines in the face of the heaven. 6. In this way he rises in the first month in the great portal, which is the fourth those six portals in the cast. 7. And in that fourth portal from which the sun rises in the first month are twelve window-openings, from which proceed a flame when they are opened in their season. 8. When the sun rises in the heaven, he comes forth through that fourth portal thirty mornings in succession, and sets accurately in the fourth portal in the west of the heaven. 9. And during this period the day becomes daily longer and the night nightly shorter to the thirtieth morning. 10. On that day the day is longer than the night by a ninth part, and the day amounts exactly to ten parts and the night to eight parts. 11. And the sun rises from that fourth portal, and sets in the fourth and returns to the fifth portal of the east thirty mornings, and rises from it and sets in the fifth portal. 12. And then the day becomes longer by two parts and amounts to eleven parts, and the night becomes shorter and amounts to seven parts. 13. And it returns to the east and enters into the sixth portal, and rises and sets in the sixth portal one-and-thirty mornings on account of its sign. 14. On that day the day becomes longer than the night, and the day becomes double the night, and the day becomes twelve parts, and the night is shortened and becomes six parts. 15. And the sun mounts up to make the day shorter and the night longer, and the sun returns to the east and enters into the sixth portal, and rises from it and sets thirty mornings. 16. And when thirty mornings are accomplished, the day decreases by exactly one part, and becomes eleven parts, and the night seven. 17. And the sun goes forth from that sixth portal in the west, and goes to the east and rises in the fifth portal for thirty mornings, and sets in the west again in the fifth western portal. 18. On that day the day decreases by two parts, and amounts to ten parts and the night to eight parts. 19. And the sun goes forth from that fifth portal and sets in the fifth portal of the west, and rises in the fourth portal for one-and-thirty mornings on account of its sign, and sets in the west. 20. On that day the day is equalized with the night, [and becomes of equal length], and the night amounts to nine parts and the day to nine parts. 21. And the sun rises from that portal and sets in the west, and returns to the east and rises thirty mornings in the third portal and sets in the west in the third portal. 22. And on that day the night becomes longer than the day, and night becomes longer than night, and day shorter than day till the thirtieth morning, and the night amounts exactly to ten parts and the day to eight parts. 23. And the sun rises from that third portal and sets in the third portal in the west and returns to the east, and for thirty mornings rises in the second portal in the east, and in like manner sets in the second portal in the west of the heaven. 24. And on that day the night amounts to eleven parts and the day to seven parts. 25. And the sun rises on that day from that second portal and sets in the west in the second portal, and returns to the east into the first portal for one-and-thirty mornings, and sets in the first portal in the west of the heaven. 26. And on that day the night becomes longer and amounts to the double of the day: and the night amounts exactly to twelve parts and the day to six. 27. And the sun has (therewith) traversed the divisions of his orbit and turns again on those divisions of his orbit, and enters that portal thirty mornings and sets also in the west opposite to it. 28. And on that night has the night decreased in length by a †ninth† part, and the night has become eleven parts and the day seven parts. 29. And the sun has returned and entered into the second portal in the east, and returns on those his divisions of his orbit for thirty mornings, rising and setting. 30. And on that day the night decreases in length, and the night amounts to ten parts and the day to eight. 31. And on that day the sun rises from that portal, and sets in the west, and returns to the east, and rises in the third portal for one-and-thirty mornings, and sets in the west of the heaven. 32. On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four. 33. And the length of the day and of the night, and the shortness of the day and of the night arise--through the course of the sun these distinctions are made (lit. 'they are separated'). 34. So it comes that its course becomes daily longer, and its course nightly shorter. 35. And this is the law and the course of the sun, and his return as often as he returns sixty times and rises, i.e. the great luminary which is named the sun, for ever and ever. 36. And that which (thus) rises is the great luminary, and is so named according to its appearance, according as the Lord commanded. 37. As he rises, so he sets and decreases not, and rests not, but runs day and night, and his light is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; but as regards size they are both equal.
Whether or not David ever read the Book of Enoch, he certainly seemed to have had a very similar view of the sun as a male, coming out of a chamber (or portal):
Psalms 19:
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Enoch’s Take on The Moon:
1 Enoch 73: 1. And after this law I saw another law dealing with the smaller luminary, which is named the Moon. 2. And her circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and her chariot in which she rides is driven by the wind, and light is given to her in (definite) measure. 3. And her rising and setting change every month: and her days are like the days of the sun, and when her light is uniform (i.e. full) it amounts to the seventh part of the light of the sun. 4. And thus she rises. And her first phase in the east comes forth on the thirtieth morning: and on that day she becomes visible, and constitutes for you the first phase of the moon on the thirtieth day together with the sun in the portal where the sun rises. 5. And the one half of her goes forth by a seventh part, and her whole circumference is empty, without light, with the exception of one-seventh part of it, (and) the fourteenth part of her light. 6. And when she receives one-seventh part of the half of her light, her light amounts to one-seventh part and the half thereof. 7. And she sets with the sun, and when the sun rises the moon rises with him and receives the half of one part of light, and in that night in the beginning of her morning [in the commencement of the lunar day] the moon sets with the sun, and is invisible that night with the fourteen parts and the half of one of them. 8. And she rises on that day with exactly a seventh part, and comes forth and recedes from the rising of the sun, and in her remaining days she becomes bright in the (remaining) thirteen parts.
Enoch goes into a great amount of detail in chapters 72 - 82 concerning the heavenly luminaries. I just posted the beginning chapters above. You can read the rest for yourself, beginning in chapter 74, here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/boe077.htm. In chapter 78, we read a bit more about the names, size, and movements of the sun and moon...
1 Enoch 78:1. And the names of the sun are the following: the first Orjârês, and the second Tômâs. 2. And the moon has four names: the first name is Asônjâ, the second Eblâ, the third Benâsê, and the fourth Erâe. 3. These are the two great luminaries: their circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and the size of the circumference of both is alike. 4. In the circumference of the sun there are seven portions of light which are added to it more than to the moon, and in definite measures it is s transferred till the seventh portion of the sun is exhausted. 5. And they set and enter the portals of the west, and make their revolution by the north, and come forth through the eastern portals on the face of the heaven. 6. And when the moon rises one-fourteenth part appears in the heaven: the light becomes full in her: on the fourteenth day she accomplishes her light. 7. And fifteen parts of light are transferred to her till the fifteenth day (when) her light is accomplished, according to the sign of the year, and she becomes fifteen parts, and the moon grows by (the addition of) fourteenth parts. 8. And in her waning (the moon) decreases on the first day to fourteen parts of her light, on the second to thirteen parts of light, on the third to twelve, on the fourth to eleven, on the fifth to ten, on the sixth to nine, on the seventh to eight, on the eighth to seven, on the ninth to six, on the tenth to five, on the eleventh to four, on the twelfth to three, on the thirteenth to two, on the fourteenth to the half of a seventh, and all her remaining light disappears wholly on the fifteenth. 9. And in certain months the month has twenty-nine days and once twenty-eight. 10. And Uriel showed me another law: when light is transferred to the moon, and on which side it is transferred to her by the sun. 11. During all the period during which the moon is growing in her light, she is transferring it to herself when opposite to the sun during fourteen days [her light is accomplished in the heaven], and when she is illumined throughout, her light is accomplished full in the heaven. 12. And on the first day she is called the new moon, for on that day the light rises upon her. 13. She becomes full moon exactly on the day when the sun sets in the west, and from the east she rises at night, and the moon shines the whole night through till the sun rises over against her and the moon is seen over against the sun. 14. On the side whence the light of the moon comes forth, there again she wanes till all the light vanishes and all the days of the month are at an end, and her circumference is empty, void of light. 15. And three months she makes of thirty days, and at her time she makes three months of twenty-nine days each, in which she accomplishes her waning in the first period of time, and in the first portal for one hundred and seventy-seven days. 16. And in the time of her going out she appears for three months (of) thirty days each, and for three months she appears (of) twenty-nine each. 17. At night she appears like a man for twenty days each time, and by day she appears like the heaven, and there is nothing else in her save her light.
If Enoch is to be believed, then the sun is not massively huge and tens of millions of miles away and the moon is not as big as we have been told it is either, and is much closer than the hundreds of thousands of miles we have been taught it is away from us.
The stars, according to Enoch have set courses and portals in the dome through which they are to come and go as well.
1 Enoch 18:12. And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and no birds, but it was a waste and horrible place. 13. I saw there seven stars like great burning mountains, and to me, when I inquired regarding them, 14. The angel said: 'This place is the end of heaven and earth: this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven. 15. And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord in the beginning of their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times. 16. And He was wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should be consummated (even) for ten thousand years.'
This does not paint a picture of stars as "suns" burning out in space, but rather of intelligent beings that have been commanded what to do. Those that have disobeyed are punished. According to 1 Enoch 20, the angel Raguel is the one who acts as sort of a policeman of the stars:
1 Enoch 20:4. Raguel, one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries.
The "lake of fire" that has been "prepared for the devil and his angels" that we read about in the canonized texts of the New Testament, may have been understood in the light of 1 Enoch 21:
1 Enoch 21:1. And I proceeded to where things were chaotic. 2. And I saw there something horrible: I saw neither a heaven above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place chaotic and horrible. 3. And there I saw seven stars of the heaven bound together in it, like great mountains and burning with fire. 4. Then I said: 'For what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast in hither?' 5. Then said Uriel, one of the holy angels, who was with me, and was chief over them, and said: 'Enoch, why dost thou ask, and why art thou eager for the truth? 6. These are of the number of the stars of heaven, which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and are bound here till ten thousand years, the time entailed by their sins, are consummated.' 7. And from thence I went to another place, which was still more horrible than the former, and I saw a horrible thing: a great fire there which burnt and blazed, and the place was cleft as far as the abyss, being full of great descending columns of fire: neither its extent or magnitude could I see, nor could I conjecture. 8. Then I said: 'How fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon!' 9. Then Uriel answered me, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: 'Enoch, why hast thou such fear and affright?' And I answered: 'Because of this fearful place, and because of the spectacle of the pain.' 10. And he said unto me: 'This place is the prison of the angels, and here they will be imprisoned for ever.'
In the Book of Enoch we see that the stars are to follow specific courses and not deviate from them. If they do, they are punished for violating YHWH's commandment concerning their "circuit" in the heavens. Indeed, the stars, like the sun and moon, also have portals through which they are to come and go. Whether or not Job ever read the Book of Enoch, he certainly seemed to have had a similar view:
Job 9:
1 Then Job answered and said,
2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
Something Else of Interest:
Is the flat/enclosed earth hollow? Yes. Enoch goes into great detail concerning the underworld here:
1 Enoch 22:1. And thence I went to another place, and he showed me in the west another great and high mountain [and] of hard rock. 2 And there was in it four hollow places, deep and wide and very smooth. How smooth are the hollow places and deep and dark to look at.
3. Then Raphael answered, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: 'These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits of the souls of the dead should assemble therein, yea that all the souls of the children of men should assemble here. And these places have been made to receive them till the day of their judgement and till their appointed period till the period appointed, till the great judgement (comes) upon them.'
5. I saw the spirits of the children of men who were dead, and their voice went forth to heaven and made suit. 6. Then I asked Raphael the angel who was with me, and I said unto him: 'This spirit--whose is it whose voice goeth forth and maketh suit?'
7. And he answered me saying: 'This is the spirit which went forth from Abel, whom his brother Cain slew, and he makes his suit against him till his seed is destroyed from the face of the earth, and his seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of men.'8. Then I asked regarding it, and regarding all the hollow places: 'Why as one separated from the other?'
9. And he answered me and said unto me: 'These three have been made that the spirits of the dead might be separated. And such a division has been made 〈for〉 the spirits of the righteous, in which there as the bright spring of water. 10.And such has been made for sinners when they die and are buried in the earth and judgement has not been executed on them in their lifetime. 11. Here their spirits shall be set apart in this great pain till the great day of judgement and punishment and torment of those who †curse† forever, and retribution for their spirits. There He shall bind them forever. 12. And such a division has been made for the spirits of those who make their suit, who make disclosures concerning their destruction, when they were slain in the days of the sinners. 13. Such has been made for the spirits of men who were not righteous but sinners, who were complete in transgression, and of the transgressors. they shall be companions: but their spirits shall not be slain in the day of judgement nor shall they be raised from thence. 14. Then I blessed the Lord of glory and said: 'Blessed be my Lord, the Lord of righteousness, who ruleth forever.’
Did this tale in Enoch set the stage for Yeshua's parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man? Could be. Yeshua's parable certainly would appear to validate this story. Regardless, this shows there is still room for a "hollow earth" in the Flat Earther's enclosed model. The ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Hebrews and Greeks all had a view of the Underworld being below our feet. They also had a flat earth worldview.
Enoch has a lot more to say concerning the nature of the heavens, earth, sun, moon and stars, but this should suffice for now. Whether or not you accept Enoch as having any merit is irrelevant. At this point, you should be able to tell that just sticking with the Bible alone, the Flat Earthers have a very strong case against our belief in the globe. The Bible goes on and on with similar descriptions as stated above in Enoch. This ancient apocryphal book merely appears to confirm and elaborate on these themes as a contemporary ancient commentary.

Enoch’s Domed World
The Biblical Book of Enoch Proves The Earth is a Flat Plane With Waters and a Firmament Above
I know many have strong opinions about the Book of Enoch. Whatever your opinion may be on it, the fact remains, it was well known to the authors of Scripture, to the point where Jude even quoted directly from it, while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. At the very least, it shows the mindset of the Hebrews (including the authors of the canonized text), confirming the belief they (and the entire Ancient Near East) had concerning the shape and nature of the Earth and its place in the cosmos:
This view was held well into the New Testament timeframe, as also indicated by the writings of Josephus in the 1st Century:
Chapter 1. The Constitution of The World And The Disposition of The Elements
1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth. But when the Earth did not come into sight, but was covered with thick darkness, and a wind moved upon its surface, God commanded that there should be light: and when that was made, he considered the whole mass, and separated the light and the darkness; and the name he gave to one was Night, and the other he called Day: and he named the beginning of light, and the time of rest, The Evening and The Morning, and this was indeed the first day. But Moses said it was one day; the cause of which I am able to give even now; but because I have promised to give such reasons for all things in a treatise by itself, I shall put off its exposition till that time. After this, on the second day, he placed the heaven over the whole world, and separated it from the other parts, and he determined it should stand by itself. He also placed a crystalline [firmament] round it, and put it together in a manner agreeable to the Earth, and fitted it for giving moisture and rain, and for affording the advantage of dews. On the third day he appointed the dry land to appear, with the sea itself round about it; and on the very same day he made the plants and the seeds to spring out of the Earth. On the fourth day he adorned the heaven with the sun, the moon, and the other stars, and appointed them their motions and courses, that the vicissitudes of the seasons might be clearly signified.
The "Early Church Fathers" also wrote quite a bit about this "crystalline firmament" but that's a topic for a whole other essay. OK. This is what really got me though. Check out how the author of 1 Enoch describes the Flood, as given through the vision/dream of Enoch prior to the Judgment occurring...
The Deluge and the Deliverance of Noah
CHAPTER 89:
2 And again I raised mine eyes towards heaven and saw a lofty roof, with seven water torrents thereon, and those torrents flowed with much water into an enclosure.
3 And I saw again, and behold fountains were opened on the surface of that great enclosure, and that water began to swell and rise upon the surface, and I saw that enclosure till all its surface was covered with water.
4 And the water, the darkness, and mist increased upon it; and as I looked at the height of that water, that water had risen above the height of that enclosure, and was streaming over that enclosure, and it stood upon the Earth.
5 And all the cattle of that enclosure were gathered together until I saw how they sank and were swallowed up and perished in that water.
6 But that vessel floated on the water, while all the oxen and elephants and camels and asses sank to the bottom with all the animals, so that I could no longer see them, and they were not able to escape,(but) perished and sank into the depths.
7 And again I saw in the vision till those water torrents were removed from that high roof, and the chasms of the Earth were leveled up and other abysses were opened.
8 Then the water began to run down into these, till the Earth became visible; but that vessel settled on the Earth, and the darkness retired and light appeared.
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. - Job 22:14 (KJV)
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circle of heaven. (King James 2000)
'Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see; And He walks on the vault of heaven.' (NASB)
The complete "Heaven-Earth System" essentially is a "vault," with the floor of YHWH's Throne Room atop the firmament, which is His "footstool." Essentially, the idea is that the "circle of heaven" upon which YHWH walks on is surrounding the top of the dome. His Throne would be toward the back (North) of the Biblical “four corners.” The "four corners" where Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel stand are the four edges.
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the Earth, holding the four winds of the Earth, that the wind should not blow on the Earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. - Revelation 7:1
The book of Enoch goes into a fair amount of detail concerning these four angels who stand on the four corners of the Earth. I'll write more about that later, in my blog concerning angels.
Even though the word "Earth" (erets in Hebrew) means "land," it occurred to me that if we can consider the atmosphere, clouds, oceans and land collectively as "Earth" - meaning the whole "Earth system". Then, I suppose we could apply the same logic to the entire system depicted in a 3D model. In other words, the entire compartment depicted there could be the "Earth system." Thus, if true, then the 4 corners don't necessarily have to be part of the "circle of the Earth" below, but rather they could be part of the "roof" above the system, within the Heavenly realm, surrounding the Throne, which looks down on the Earth (land) below.
Now I'm not being dogmatic about any of this. I fully acknowledge this is pure speculation on my part. I'm just trying to think "outside the box" and doing the best I can with the information provided to depict this stuff visually in a way consistent with the texts.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth. 2 And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.-- Genesis 1:1-2 (KJV)
Have you ever noticed that water is never described as having been created? It's just there immediately after the declaration that God created the Heavens and the Earth. In many ways, this model helps reconcile something about which I've always struggled. The word for "heaven" is "shamayim" (the KJV should read Heavens as it is not a singular word), which includes the word "mayim" (water). Some scholars have suggested that "heaven" thus means something akin to "water in it." But I've always wondered how that would work. This model seems to answer that question - at least for me anyway.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. - Genesis 1:6-8 (KJV)
In my view, there is water beneath the Throne of YHWH, inside an enclosed system, collectively known as Earth. This system has a "firmament" (dome) separating the water above from the water below, forming essentially a bathysphere - an enclosure of air - within which the dry land appeared in the Genesis 1 account. Being that this water surrounded Earth system is literally under the Throne of YHWH in Heaven, this shows how the water is in it.
The Great Flood: Opening “The Windows of Heaven”
I'm thinking that during the Flood, some of that upper water was drained into the "enclosure," filling it enough to cover all of the dry land.
I say, "some" because over a thousand years after the Flood, Kind David wrote:
Praise him, ye Heavens of Heavens, and ye waters that be above the Heavens. - Psalm 148:4
So, there still is water above us. Peter seems to also confirm this:
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the Heavens were of old, and the Earth standing out of the water and in the water: - 2 Peter :3:5
It would appear that when the "windows of heaven" were opened, only enough of the water above necessary to fill the bottom of the enclosure up to 15 cubits (about 20 feet) above the highest mountain (Gen. 7:20) was released. No more than that was needed to do the job.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. - Psalm 33:7
It was then drained out, like a bathtub - perhaps into the "storehouses of the deep".
Pillars of the Earth
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the Earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them. - 1 Samuel 2:8
I have taken from The Book of Enoch the "pillars of the Earth." I have visualized them with essentially "shock absorbers" at the top. This would certainly allow for the Earth to be shaken up as needed (in YHWH's wrath), but yet still remain firm as a whole:
1 Then Job answered and said, 2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. 4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? 5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. 6 Which shaketh the Earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
- Job 9:1-6
With the floor of Heaven and containing walls removed, we see the Earth "standing in the water and out of the water" (as Peter described) set atop pillars, firm and unmovable. Again, this is all speculation, but it is at least putting a visual together for me of the things I've been reading in the canonized and biblically-endorsed, extra-biblical texts. One thing is certain though... the book of Enoch is certainly a slam dunk for the Enclosed World Flat Earthers.
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the Earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. - Matthew 5:35
Heaven is My throne, and the Earth a footstool of My feet. What kind of house will you build Me? Says the Lord, or what is the place of My rest? - Acts 7:49
No question about it... the ancient texts clearly describe YHWH's "footstool" as essentially a snow globe, with the still, flat, circular Earth set on pillars, under a dome, within which the sun, moon and stars were placed on Day 4 of Creation. But the question I'm now wondering about is... are there more of these types of systems out there?
In my Father's house are many mansions {Greek: "moné" = "dwelling places"}: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. - John 14:2
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. - 1 Corinthians 2:9

The Sun Was Created on The Fourth Day and There are No Big Bang Implications in The Biblical Text
Genesis 1 begins with:
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth . Now the Earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light ‘’and there was light.
--Genesis 1:1-3
This account goes on to describe the seven days of Creation:
In the beginning, God started Creation:
- The first day - God created the Heaven, Earth , and Light.
- The second day - Atmosphere and Firmament (the sky was created)
- The third day - dry land, seas, plants and trees were created
- The fourth day - the Sun, Moon, and Stars were created
- The fifth day - creatures that live in the sea and creatures that fly were created
- The sixth day - animals that live on the land and finally humans, made in the image of God were created
- By day seven - God finished his work of creation and rested, making the seventh day a special holy day. (The Sabbath)
There are no Big Bang implications in The Biblical text, anywhere. In fact, the Biblical narrative points to just the opposite. It points to an Enclosed Cosmology in exactly the same way that The Book of Enoch has described The Cosmos to be. The Lord FIRST creates Heaven, Earth , and Light, and yet this Light is not connected to The Sun, The Moon, or Stars.
According to Genesis, The Lord does not create The Sun, The Moon, and Stars until The Fourth Day.
However, in The Heliocentric Model, the Earth is supposed to be orbiting The Sun to eventually evolve into The Copernican Model that we know today. The Light is supposed to be coming from The Sun. However, in The Biblical narrative, The Lord creates The Principle of Light on The First Day, but not until The Fourth Day, does the Lord apply that principle to HIS newly created Sun.
The Sun and Moon
The Big Bang Model literally contradicts the Genesis account. In The Big Bang Model, The Earth was the result of “cosmic dust” coalescing in its orbit around a Sun. In this model, it is taught that The Sun’s gravity held this swirling mass of cosmic debris for billions of years in an orbit which eventually resulted in The Earth , as well as The Earth ’s satellite, The Moon. Hence, in this model, The Sun came BEFORE The Earth and Moon’s emergence, thereby contradicting the Genesis account. (either of the two Genesis accounts…it does not matter)
The Stars
Also, in the Genesis account, the Stars were created on the Fourth Day by The Lord. However, in The Big Bang Model, the Stars were in existence, as a result of The Big Bang 14.5 billion years ago…approximately 10.5 billion years BEFORE The Earth even came into existence, as a result of the orbital transit of cosmic debris around The Sun. And so, these are mutually exclusive explanations. They cannot both be true. You cannot have both Genesis and The Big Bang Model as valid at the same time. Either, The Bible is the Word of God and true, and we live in an Enclosed Cosmological system as the Bible teaches, or The Big Bang Model is true, which contradicts The Word of God. Thus, The Big Bang Model account does not reflect The Book of Genesis in anyway.
Further, Genesis does not support The Big Bang hypothesis of a spherical Earth flying though Outer Space, in any way. It says the Earth is covered with a Firmament , with “the waters below” The Firmament , constituting the oceans, which appear dark blue because of their depth, and “the waters above” The Firmament , which appear light blue because of the quasi-metallic and vitreous translucence of the Firmament above, in conjunction with Raleigh Scattering from the Sun. Rayleigh Scattering of sunlight in Earth ’s atmosphere causes diffuse sky radiation, which is the reason for the blue color of the daytime and twilight sky, as well as the yellowish to reddish hue of the low Sun. Sunlight is also subject to Raman Scattering, which changes the rotational state of the molecules and gives rise to polarization effects.
Genesis 1: 6-9
- 6 And God said, Let there be a Firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
- 7 And God made the Firmament , and divided the waters which were under the Firmament from the waters which were above the Firmament : and it was so.
- 8 And God called the Firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
- 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
What does Firmament mean in ancient Hebrew?
In Biblical Cosmology , The Firmament is the vast solid dome created by God on the second day to divide the primal sea (called tehom) into upper and lower portions so that the dry land could appear.
Etymology
In English, the word "Firmament " is first recorded in the Middle English Story of Genesis and Exodus dated 1250. It later appeared in the King James Bible. The same word is found in French and German Bible translations, all from Latin Firmament um (a firm object), used in the Vulgate (4th century). This in turn is a calque of the Greek στερέωμᾰ (steréōma), also meaning a solid or firm structure (Greek στερεός = rigid), which appears in the Septuagint, the Greek translation made by Jewish scholars around 200 BCE.
Raqia
These words all translate the Biblical Hebrew word rāqīaʿ(רָקִ֫יעַ), used for example in Genesis 1.6, which can be contrasted with shamayim (שָׁמַיִם), translated as "Heaven" in Genesis 1.8. Rāqīaʿ derives from the root rqʿ(רָקַע), meaning "to beat or spread out thinly".
Gerhard von Rad explains:
Rāqīaʿ means that which is firmly hammered, stamped, solid, impenetrable (a word of the same root in Phoenician means “tin dish”). The meaning of the verb rqʿ concerns the hammering of the vault of Heaven into firmness (Isa. 42.5; Ps.136.6). The Vulgate translates rāqīaʿ with Firmament um, and that remains the best rendering.
— Gerhard von Rad
Later in The Bible, we see descriptions of a completely unmoving, non-spinning, non-orbiting, immovable Earth which rests upon a foundation, with no empirical evidence of axio-rotation. At the 1984 National Bible-Science Conference in Cleveland, Geocentrist, James N. Hanson, pointed out that there are hundreds of scriptures that describe that the Earth is immovable.
Here are a few obvious texts:
- 1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the Earth firm, immovable.”
- Psalm 93:1: “Thou hast fixed the Earth immovable and firm ...”
- Psalm 96:10: “He has fixed the Earth firm, immovable ...”
- Psalm 104:5: “Thou didst fix the Earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.”
- Isaiah 45:18: “...who made the Earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...”
1 In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth .
2 And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be Light: and there was Light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
7 And God made the Firmament , and divided the waters which were under the Firmament from the waters which were above the Firmament : and it was so.
8 And God called the Firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth ; and the gathering together of the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the Earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the Earth : and it was so.
12 And the Earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the Firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the Firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth : and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the Firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth ,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
The Genesis Creation Narrative
“The heavens and the Earth is a set phrase meaning “everything,” i.e., the cosmos. This was made up of three levels, the habitable Earth in the middle, the heavens above, and an underworld below, all surrounded by a watery "ocean" of chaos as the Babylonian Tiamat.
- The Earth itself was a flat disc, surrounded by mountains or sea.
- Above it was the Firmament , a transparent but solid dome resting on the mountains, allowing men to see the blue of the waters above.
- With “windows” to allow the rain to enter, and containing the Sun, Moon, and Stars.
- The waters extended below the Earth , which rested on pillars sunk in the waters, and in the underworld was Sheol, the abode of the dead.”

The Genesis creation narrative is the creation myth of both Judaism and Christianity.
The narrative is made up of two stories, roughly equivalent to the first two chapters of the Book of Genesis. In the first, Elohim (the Hebrew generic word for God) creates the Heavens and the Earth in six days, then rests on, blesses and sanctifies the seventh (i.e. the Biblical Sabbath). In the second story, God, now referred to by the personal name Yahweh, creates Adam, the first man, from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden, where he is given dominion over the animals. Eve, the first woman, is created from Adam and as his companion.
It expounds themes parallel to those in Mesopotamian mythology, emphasizing the Israelite people's belief in one God. The first major comprehensive draft of the Pentateuch (the series of five books which begins with Genesis and ends with Deuteronomy) was composed in the late 7th or the 6th century BCE (the Jahwist source) and was later expanded by other authors (the Priestly source) into a work very like Genesis as known today. The two sources can be identified in the creation narrative: Priestly and Jahwistic. The combined narrative is a critique of the Mesopotamian theology of creation: Genesis affirms monotheism and denies polytheism.[5] Robert Alter described the combined narrative as "compelling in its archetypal character, its adaptation of myth to monotheistic ends".
In recent centuries, some believers have used this narrative as evidence of literal creationism, leading them to subsequently deny evolution. Most scholars do not consider Genesis to be historically accurate.
Although tradition attributes Genesis to Moses, Biblical scholars hold that it, together with the following four books (making up what Jews call the Torah and Biblical scholars call the Pentateuch), is "a composite work, the product of many hands and periods." A common hypothesis among Biblical scholars today is that the first major comprehensive draft of the Pentateuch was composed in the late 7th or the 6th century BCE (the Jahwist source), and that this was later expanded by the addition of various narratives and laws (the Priestly source) into a work very like the one existing today.
As for the historical background which led to the creation of the narrative itself, a theory which has gained considerable interest, although still controversial, is "Persian imperial authorization". This proposes that the Persians, after their conquest of Babylon in 538 BCE, agreed to grant Jerusalem a large measure of local autonomy within the empire, but required the local authorities to produce a single law code accepted by the entire community. It further proposes that there were two powerful groups in the community – the priestly families who controlled the Temple, and the landowning families who made up the "elders" – and that these two groups were in conflict over many issues, and that each had its own "history of origins", but the Persian promise of greatly increased local autonomy for all provided a powerful incentive to cooperate in producing a single text.
Structure
The creation narrative is made up of two stories, roughly equivalent to the two first chapters of the Book of Genesis (there are no chapter divisions in the original Hebrew text; see Chapters and verses of the Bible). The first account (Genesis 1:1–2:3) employs a repetitious structure of divine fiat and fulfillment, then the statement "And there was evening and there was morning, the [xth] day," for each of the six days of creation. In each of the first three days there is an act of division: day one divides the darkness from light, day two the "waters above" from the "waters below", and day three the sea from the land. In each of the next three days these divisions are populated: day four populates the darkness and light with Sun, Moon and stars; day five populates seas and skies with fish and fowl; and finally land-based creatures and mankind populate the land.
Consistency was evidently not seen as essential to storytelling in ancient Near Eastern literature.[12] The overlapping stories of Genesis 1 and 2 are contradictory but also complementary, with the first (the Priestly story) concerned with the creation of the entire cosmos while the second (the Yahwist story) focuses on man as moral agent and cultivator of his environment.[10] The highly regimented seven-day narrative of Genesis 1 features an omnipotent God who creates a god-like humanity, while the one-day creation of Genesis 2 uses a simple linear narrative, a God who can fail as well as succeed, and a humanity which is not god-like but is punished for acts which would lead to their becoming god-like.[13] Even the order and method of creation differs.[13] "Together, this combination of parallel character and contrasting profile point to the different origin of materials in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, however elegantly they have now been combined."
The primary accounts in each chapter are joined by a literary bridge at Genesis 2:4, "These are the generations of the heavens and of the Earth when they were created." This echoes the first line of Genesis 1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth ", and is reversed in the next phrase, "...in the day that the LORD God made the Earth and the heavens". This verse is one of ten "generations" (Hebrew: תולדות toledot) phrases used throughout Genesis, which provide a literary structure to the book.[15] They normally function as headings to what comes after, but the position of this, the first of the series, has been the subject of much debate.
Mesopotamian influence
Comparative mythology provides historical and cross-cultural perspectives for Jewish mythology. Both sources behind the Genesis creation narrative borrowed themes from Mesopotamian mythology,[17][18] but adapted them to their belief in one God, establishing a monotheistic creation in opposition to the polytheistic creation myth of ancient Israel's neighbors.
Genesis 1–11 as a whole is imbued with Mesopotamian myths. Genesis 1 bears both striking differences from and striking similarities to Babylon's national creation myth, the Enuma Elish. On the side of similarities, both begin from a stage of chaotic waters before anything is created, in both a fixed dome-shaped "Firmament " divides these waters from the habitable Earth , and both conclude with the creation of a human called "man" and the building of a temple for the god (in Genesis 1, this temple is the entire cosmos). On the side of contrasts, Genesis 1 is monotheistic; it makes no attempt to account for the origins of God, and there is no trace of the resistance to the reduction of chaos to order (Greek: theomachy, lit. "God-fighting"), all of which mark the Mesopotamian creation accounts.[2] Still, Genesis 1 bears similarities to the Baal Cycle of Israel's neighbor, Ugarit.
The Enuma Elish has also left traces on Genesis 2. Both begin with a series of statements of what did not exist at the moment when creation began; the Enuma Elish has a spring (in the sea) as the point where creation begins, paralleling the spring (on the land – Genesis 2 is notable for being a "dry" creation story) in Genesis 2:6 that "watered the whole face of the ground"; in both myths, Yahweh/the gods first create a man to serve him/them, then animals and vegetation. At the same time, and as with Genesis 1, the Jewish version has drastically changed its Babylonian model: Eve, for example, seems to fill the role of a mother goddess when, in Genesis 4:1, she says that she has "created a man with Yahweh", but she is not a divine being like her Babylonian counterpart.
Genesis 2 has close parallels with a second Mesopotamian myth, the Atra-Hasis epic – parallels that in fact extend throughout Genesis 2–11, from the Creation to the Flood and its aftermath. The two share numerous plot-details (e.g. the divine garden and the role of the first man in the garden, the creation of the man from a mixture of Earth and divine substance, the chance of immortality, etc.), and have a similar overall theme: the gradual clarification of man's relationship with God(s) and animals.
Creation by Word And Creation by Combat
The narratives in Genesis 1 and 2 were not the only creation myths in ancient Israel, and the complete Biblical evidence suggests two contrasting models. The first is the "logos" (meaning speech) model, where a supreme God "speaks" dormant matter into existence. The second is the "agon" (meaning struggle or combat) model, in which it is God's victory in battle over the monsters of the sea that mark his sovereignty and might.[27] Genesis 1 is an example of creation by speech, while Psalm 74 and Isaiah 51 are examples of the "agon" mythology, recalling a Canaanite myth in which God creates the world by vanquishing the water deities: "Awake, awake! ... It was you that hacked Rahab in pieces, that pierced the Dragon! It was you that dried up the Sea, the waters of the great Deep, that made the abysses of the Sea a road that the redeemed might walk..."
First narrative: Genesis 1:1–2:3
The cosmos created in Genesis 1 bears a striking resemblance to the Tabernacle in Exodus 35–40, which was the prototype of the Temple in Jerusalem and the focus of priestly worship of Yahweh; for this reason, and because other Middle Eastern creation stories also climax with the construction of a temple/house for the creator-god, Genesis 1 can be interpreted as a description of the construction of the cosmos as God's house, for which the Temple in Jerusalem served as the Earthly representative.
The word bara is translated as "created" in English, but the concept it embodied was not the same as the modern term: in the world of the ancient Near East, the gods demonstrated their power over the world not by creating matter but by fixing destinies, so that the essence of the bara which God performs in Genesis concerns bringing "heaven and Earth " (a set phrase meaning "everything") into existence by organizing and assigning roles and functions.
The use of numbers in ancient texts was often numerological rather than factual – that is, the numbers were used because they held some symbolic value to the author. The number seven, denoting divine completion, permeates Genesis 1: verse 1:1 consists of seven words, verse 1:2 of fourteen, and 2:1–3 has 35 words (5×7); Elohim is mentioned 35 times, "heaven/Firmament " and "Earth " 21 times each, and the phrases "and it was so" and "God saw that it was good" occur 7 times each.
Among commentators, symbolic interpretation of the numbers may coexist with factual interpretations. Numerologically significant patterns of repeated words and phrases are termed "Hebraic meter". They begin in the creation narrative and continue through the book of Genesis.
Pre-creation: Genesis 1:1–2
- In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth .
- And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Although the opening phrase of Genesis 1:1 is commonly translated in English as above, the Hebrew is ambiguous, and can be translated at least three ways:
1) As a statement that the cosmos had an absolute beginning ("In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth .")
2) As a statement describing the condition of the world when God began creating ("When in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth , the Earth was untamed and shapeless."); and
3) Essentially, similar to the second version but taking all of Genesis 1:2 as background information ("When in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth – the Earth being untamed and shapeless... – God said, Let there be light!").
The second seems to be the meaning intended by the original Priestly author: the verb bara is used only of God (people do not engage in bara), and it concerns the assignment of roles, as in the creation of the first people as "male and female" (i.e., it allocates them sexes): in other words, the power of God is being shown not by the creation of matter but by the fixing of destinies.
The heavens and the Earth is a set phrase meaning "everything", i.e., the cosmos. This was made up of three levels, the habitable Earth in the middle, the heavens above, and an underworld below, all surrounded by a watery "ocean" of chaos as the Babylonian Tiamat.[36] The Earth itself was a flat disc, surrounded by mountains or sea. Above it was the Firmament , a transparent but solid dome resting on the mountains, allowing men to see the blue of the waters above, with "windows" to allow the rain to enter, and containing the Sun, Moon and stars. The waters extended below the Earth , which rested on pillars sunk in the waters, and in the underworld was Sheol, the abode of the dead.
The opening of Genesis 1 continues: "And the Earth was formless and void..." The phrase "formless and void" is a translation of the Hebrew tohu wa-bohu, (Hebrew: תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ), chaos, the condition that bara, ordering, remedies. Tohu by itself means "emptiness, futility"; it is used to describe the desert wilderness; bohu has no known meaning and was apparently coined to rhyme with and reinforce tohu. The phrase appears also in Jeremiah 4:23 where the prophet warns Israel that rebellion against God will lead to the return of darkness and chaos, "as if the Earth had been 'uncreated'".
The opening of Genesis 1 concludes with a statement that "darkness was on the face of the deep" (Hebrew: תְהוֹם tehôm), [the] "darkness" and the "deep" being two of the three elements of the chaos represented in tohu wa-bohu (the third is the "formless Earth "). In the Enuma Elish, the "deep" is personified as the goddess Tiamat, the enemy of Marduk; here it is the formless body of primeval water surrounding the habitable world, later to be released during the Deluge, when "all the fountains of the great deep burst forth" from the waters beneath the Earth and from the "windows" of the sky.
The Ruach of God moves over the face of the deep before creation begins. Ruach (רוּחַ) has the meanings "wind, spirit, breath", and elohim can mean "great" as well as "god": the ruach elohim may therefore mean the "wind/breath of God" (the storm-wind is God's breath in Psalms 18:16 and elsewhere, and the wind of God returns in the Flood story as the means by which God restores the Earth ), or God's "spirit", a concept which is somewhat vague in the Hebrew Bible, or it may simply signify a great storm-wind.
Six days of Creation: Genesis 1:3–2:3
God's first act was the creation of undifferentiated light; dark and light were then separated into night and day, their order (evening before morning) signifying that this was the liturgical day; and then the Sun, Moon and stars were created to mark the proper times for the festivals of the week and year. Only when this is done does God create man and woman and the means to sustain them (plants and animals). At the end of the sixth day, when creation is complete, the world is a cosmic temple in which the role of humanity is the worship of God. This parallels Mesopotamian myth (the Enuma Elish) and also echoes chapter 38 of the Book of Job, where God recalls how the stars, the "sons of God", sang when the corner-stone of creation was laid.
First Day: Creation of The Principle of Light
3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
On Day 1, The Lord creates Creation of The Principle of Light. People often get confused as to how The Lord could create Light without the Sun, which He created on Day 4. But, one must remember that we are dealing with The Lord, and to create the idea of Light without a physical source is certainly within an All-Powerful Deity’s power. The idea of Light is an archetypal idea, and later, on Day 4, The Lord creates that which would represent His Creation of Light, The Sun. Light has no mass. Light is, first and foremost, a non-material spiritual concept and requires no Sun to create in The Divinity of the Lord. And, The Sun is the physical vehicle for this spiritual concept.
God creates by spoken command and names the elements of the world as he creates them. In the ancient Near East, the act of naming was bound up with the act of creating: thus in Egyptian literature the creator god pronounced the names of everything, and the Enûma Elish begins at the point where nothing has yet been named. God's creation by speech also suggests that he is being compared to a king, who has merely to speak for things to happen.
Second day
6 And God said: 'Let there be a Firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.' 7 And God made the Firmament , and divided the waters which were under the Firmament from the waters which were above the Firmament ; and it was so. 8 And God called the Firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Rāqîa, the word translated as Firmament , is from rāqa', the verb used for the act of beating metal into thin plates. Created on the second day of creation and populated by luminaries on the fourth, it is a solid dome which separates the Earth below from the heavens and their waters above, as in Egyptian and Mesopotamian belief of the same time.[49] In Genesis 1:17 the stars are set in the Raqia'; in Babylonian myth the heavens were made of various precious stones (compare Exodus 24:10 where the elders of Israel see God on the sapphire floor of heaven), with the stars engraved in their surface.
Third day
And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth , and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas; and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said: 'Let the Earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the Earth .' And it was so. 12 And the Earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
On the third day, the waters withdraw, creating a ring of ocean surrounding a single circular continent. By the end of the third day God has created a foundational environment of light, heavens, seas and Earth . The three levels of the cosmos are next populated in the same order in which they were created – heavens, sea, Earth .
God does not create or make trees and plants, but instead commands the Earth to produce them. The underlying theological meaning seems to be that God has given the previously barren Earth the ability to produce vegetation, and it now does so at his command. "According to (one's) kind" appears to look forward to the laws found later in the Pentateuch, which lay great stress on holiness through separation.[54]
Fourth day
14 And God said: 'Let there be lights in the Firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the Firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth .' And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars. 17 And God set them in the Firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth , 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
On Day Four the language of "ruling" is introduced: the heavenly bodies will "govern" day and night and mark seasons and years and days (a matter of crucial importance to the Priestly authors, as the three pilgrimage festivals were organized around the cycles of both the Sun and Moon, in a lunisolar calendar that could have either 12 or 13 months.); later, man will be created to rule over the whole of creation as God's regent. God puts "lights" in the Firmament to "rule over" the day and the night.[57] Specifically, God creates the "greater light," the "lesser light," and the stars. According to Victor Hamilton, most scholars agree that the choice of "greater light" and "lesser light", rather than the more explicit "Sun" and "Moon", is anti-mythological rhetoric intended to contradict widespread contemporary beliefs that the Sun and the Moon were deities themselves.
Fifth day
And God said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the Earth in the open Firmament of heaven.' 21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the Earth .' 23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
In the Egyptian and Mesopotamian mythologies, the creator-god has to do battle with the sea-monsters before he can make heaven and Earth ; in Genesis 1:21, the word tannin, sometimes translated as "sea monsters" or "great creatures", parallels the named chaos-monsters Rahab and Leviathan from Psalm 74:13, and Isaiah 27:1, and Isaiah 51:9, but there is no hint (in Genesis) of combat, and the tannin are simply creatures created by God.
Sixth day
24 And God said: 'Let the Earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the Earth after its kind.' And it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the Earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the Earth , and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth .' 27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. 28 And God blessed them; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth , and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth upon the Earth .' 29 And God said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the Earth , and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed--to you it shall be for food; 30 and to every beast of the Earth , and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the Earth , wherein there is a living soul, [I have given] every green herb for food.' And it was so.31 And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
When in Genesis 1:26 God says, "Let us make man", the Hebrew word used is adam; in this form it is a generic noun, "mankind", and does not imply that this creation is male. After this first mention the word always appears as ha-adam, "the man", but as Genesis 1:27 shows ("So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."), the word is still not exclusively male.
Man was created in the "image of God". The meaning of this is unclear: suggestions include:
1) Having the spiritual qualities of God such as intellect, will, etc…
2) Having the physical form of God
3) A combination of these two
4) Being God's counterpart on Earth and able to enter into a relationship with him
5) Being God's representative or viceroy on Earth .
The fact that God says "Let us make man..." has given rise to several theories, of which the two most important are that "us" is majestic plural,[64] or that it reflects a setting in a divine council with God enthroned as king and proposing the creation of mankind to the lesser divine beings.
God tells the animals and humans that he has given them "the green plants for food" – creation is to be vegetarian. Only later, after the Flood, is man given permission to eat flesh. The Priestly author of Genesis appears to look back to an ideal past in which mankind lived at peace both with itself and with the animal kingdom, and which could be re-achieved through a proper sacrificial life in harmony with God.
Upon completion, God sees that "everything that He had made ... was very good" (Genesis 1:31). This implies that the materials that existed before the Creation ("tohu wa-bohu," "darkness," "tehom") were not "very good." Israel Knohl hypothesized that the Priestly source set up this dichotomy to mitigate the problem of evil.
Seventh day: divine rest
And the heaven and the Earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work which God in creating had made.
Creation is followed by rest. In ancient Near Eastern literature the divine rest is achieved in a temple as a result of having brought order to chaos. Rest is both disengagement, as the work of creation is finished, but also engagement, as the deity is now present in his temple to maintain a secure and ordered cosmos.[69] Compare with Exodus 20:8–20:11: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is a sabbath unto the LORD thy GOD, in it thou shalt not do any manner of work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; for in six days the LORD made heaven and Earth , the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day; wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
Second narrative: Genesis 2:4–2:25
Genesis 2–3, the Garden of Eden story, was probably authored around 500 BCE as "a discourse on ideals in life, the danger in human glory, and the fundamentally ambiguous nature of humanity – especially human mental faculties". The Garden in which the action takes place lies on the mythological border between the human and the divine worlds, probably on the far side of the cosmic ocean near the rim of the world; following a conventional ancient Near Eastern concept, the Eden river first forms that ocean and then divides into four rivers which run from the four corners of the Earth towards its centre. It opens "in the day that the LORD God made the Earth and the heavens", a set introduction similar to those found in Babylonian myths. Before the man is created the Earth is a barren waste watered by an ’êḏ (אד); Genesis 2:6 the King James Version translated this as "mist", following Jewish practice, but since the mid-20th century Hebraists have generally accepted that the real meaning is "spring of underground water".
In Genesis 1 the characteristic word for God's activity is bara, "created"; in Genesis 2 the word used when he creates the man is yatsar (ייצר yîṣer), meaning "fashioned", a word used in contexts such as a potter fashioning a pot from clay.[73] God breathes his own breath into the clay and it becomes nephesh (נֶ֫פֶשׁ), a word meaning "life", "vitality", "the living personality"; man shares nephesh with all creatures, but the text describes this life-giving act by God only in relation to man.
Eden, where God puts his Garden of Eden, comes from a root meaning "fertility": the first man is to work in God's miraculously fertile garden.[75] The "tree of life" is a motif from Mesopotamian myth: in the Epic of Gilgamesh (c. 1800 BCE) the hero is given a plant whose name is "man becomes young in old age", but a serpent steals the plant from him.[76][77] There has been much scholarly discussion about the type of knowledge given by the second tree. Suggestions include: human qualities, sexual consciousness, ethical knowledge, or universal knowledge; with the last being the most widely accepted.[78] In Eden, mankind has a choice between wisdom and life, and chooses the first, although God intended them for the second.[79]
The mythic Eden and its rivers may represent the real Jerusalem, the Temple and the Promised Land. Eden may represent the divine garden on Zion, the mountain of God, which was also Jerusalem; while the real Gihon was a spring outside the city (mirroring the spring which waters Eden); and the imagery of the Garden, with its serpent and cherubs, has been seen as a reflection of the real images of the Solomonic Temple with its copper serpent (the nehushtan) and guardian cherubs.[80] Genesis 2 is the only place in the Bible where Eden appears as a geographic location: elsewhere (notably in the Book of Ezekiel) it is a mythological place located on the holy Mountain of God, with echoes of a Mesopotamian myth of the king as a primordial man placed in a divine garden to guard the tree of life.[81]
"Good and evil" is a merism, in this case meaning simply "everything", but it may also have a moral connotation. When God forbids the man to eat from the tree of knowledge he says that if he does so he is "doomed to die": the Hebrew behind this is in the form used in the Bible for issuing death sentences.
The first woman is created out of one of Adam's ribs to be ezer kenegdo (עזר כנגדו ‘êzer kəneḡdō)[83] – a term notably difficult to translate – to the man. Kəneḡdō means "alongside, opposite, a counterpart to him", and ‘êzer means active intervention on behalf of the other person.[84] God's naming of the elements of the cosmos in Genesis 1 illustrated his authority over creation; now the man's naming of the animals (and of Woman) illustrates Adam's authority within creation.[85]
The woman is called ishah (אשה ’iš-šāh), "Woman", with an explanation that this is because she was taken from ish (אִישׁ ’îš), meaning "man";[83] the two words are not in fact connected.[citation needed] Later, after the story of the Garden is complete, she receives a name: Ḥawwāh (חוה , Eve). This means "living" in Hebrew, from a root that can also mean "snake".[86] Assyriologist Samuel Noah Kramer connects Eve's creation to the ancient Sumerian myth of Enki, who was healed by the goddess Nin-ti, "the Lady of the rib"; this became "the Lady who makes live" via a pun on the word ti, which means both "rib" and "to make live" in Sumerian.[87] The Hebrew word traditionally translated "rib" in English can also mean "side", "chamber", or "beam".[88] A long-standing exegetical tradition holds that the use of a rib from man's side emphasizes that both man and woman have equal dignity, for woman was created from the same material as man, shaped and given life by the same processes.[89]
Creationism And The Genre Of The Creation Narrative
The meaning to be derived from the Genesis creation narrative will depend on the reader's understanding of its genre, the literary "type" to which it belongs (e.g., scientific Cosmology , creation myth, or historical saga).[90] According to Biblical scholar Francis Andersen, misunderstanding the genre of the text—meaning the intention of the author(s) and the culture within which they wrote—will result in a misreading.[91] Reformed evangelical scholar Bruce Waltke cautions against one such misreading: the "woodenly literal" approach, which leads to "creation science", but also to such "implausible interpretations" as the "gap theory", the presumption of a "young Earth ", and the denial of evolution.[7] As scholar of Jewish studies, Jon D. Levenson, puts it:
How much history lies behind the story of Genesis? Because the action of the primeval story is not represented as taking place on the plane of ordinary human history and has so many affinities with ancient mythology, it is very far-fetched to speak of its narratives as historical at all."
Another scholar, Conrad Hyers, summed up the same thought by writing, "A literalist interpretation of the Genesis accounts is inappropriate, misleading, and unworkable [because] it presupposes and insists upon a kind of literature and intention that is not there."
Whatever else it may be, Genesis 1 is "story", since it features character and characterization, a narrator, and dramatic tension expressed through a series of incidents arranged in time.[94] The Priestly author of Genesis 1 had to confront two major difficulties. First, there is the fact that since only God exists at this point, no-one was available to be the narrator; the storyteller solved this by introducing an unobtrusive "third person narrator".[95] Second, there was the problem of conflict: conflict is necessary to arouse the reader's interest in the story, yet with nothing else existing, neither a chaos-monster nor another god, there cannot be any conflict. This was solved by creating a very minimal tension: God is opposed by nothingness itself, the blank of the world "without form and void."[95] Telling the story in this way was a deliberate choice: there are a number of creation stories in the Bible, but they tend to be told in the first person, by Wisdom, the instrument by which God created the world; the choice of an omniscient third-person narrator in the Genesis narrative allows the storyteller to create the impression that everything is being told and nothing held back.
One can also regard Genesis as "history-like", "part of a broader spectrum of originally anonymous, history-like ancient Near Eastern narratives."[97] Scholarly writings frequently refer to Genesis as myth, but there is no agreement on how to define "myth", and so while Brevard Childs famously suggested that the author of Genesis 1–11 "demythologized" his narrative, meaning that he removed from his sources (the Babylonian myths) those elements which did not fit with his own faith, others can say it is entirely mythical.
Genesis 1–2 reflects ancient ideas about science: in the words of E.A. Speiser, "on the subject of creation Biblical tradition aligned itself with the traditional tenets of Babylonian science."[99] The opening words of Genesis 1, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth ", sum up the author(s) belief that Yahweh, the god of Israel, was solely responsible for creation and had no rivals.[100] Later Jewish thinkers, adopting ideas from Greek philosophy, concluded that God's Wisdom, Word and Spirit penetrated all things and gave them unity.[101] Christianity in turn adopted these ideas and identified Jesus with the creative word: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).[102] When the Jews came into contact with Greek thought, there followed a major reinterpretation of the underlying Cosmology of the Genesis narrative. The Biblical authors conceived the cosmos as a flat disc-shaped Earth in the centre, an underworld for the dead below, and heaven above.[103] Below the Earth were the "waters of chaos", the cosmic sea, home to mythic monsters defeated and slain by God; in Exodus 20:4, God warns against making an image "of anything that is in the waters under the Earth ".[100] There were also waters above the Earth , and so the Raqia (Firmament ), a solid bowl, was necessary to keep them from flooding the world.[104] During the Hellenistic period this was largely replaced by a more "scientific" model as imagined by Greek philosophers, according to which the Earth was a sphere at the centre of concentric shells of celestial spheres containing the Sun, Moon, stars and planets.[103]
The idea that God created the world out of nothing (creatio ex nihilo) has become central today to Islam, Christianity, and Judaism – indeed, the medieval Jewish philosopher Maimonides felt it was the only concept that the three religions shared[105] – yet it is not found directly in Genesis, nor in the entire Hebrew Bible.[106] The Priestly authors of Genesis 1 were concerned not with the origins of matter (the material which God formed into the habitable cosmos), but with assigning roles so that the Cosmos should function.[30] This was still the situation in the early 2nd century AD, although early Christian scholars were beginning to see a tension between the idea of world-formation and the omnipotence of God; by the beginning of the 3rd century this tension was resolved, world-formation was overcome, and creation ex nihilo had become a fundamental tenet of Christian theology.
Flat Earth Descriptions in The Bible
The founders of the flat Earth movement supported their ideas by reference to Biblical authority. But so did the defenders of the Koreshan Cosmogony, which modeled the Earth as an unmoving hollow ball, with us walking on its inner surface and the entire universe also within it.
—Donald Simanek.
When I first became interested in the flat-Earth ers, I was surprised to learn that flat-Earth ism in the English-speaking world is and always has been entirely based upon the Bible. I have since assembled and read an extensive collection of flat-Earth literature. The Biblical arguments for flat-Earth ism that follow come mainly from my reading of flat-Earth literature, augmented by my own reading of the Bible.
Except among Biblical inerrantists, it is generally agreed that the Bible describes an immovable Earth . At the 1984 National Bible-Science Conference in Cleveland, geocentrist James N. Hanson told me there are hundreds of scriptures that suggest the Earth is immovable.
I suspect some must be a bit vague, but here are a few obvious texts:
- 1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the Earth firm, immovable.”
- Psalm 93:1: “Thou hast fixed the Earth immovable and firm ...”
- Psalm 96:10: “He has fixed the Earth firm, immovable ...”
- Psalm 104:5: “Thou didst fix the Earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.”
- Isaiah 45:18: “...who made the Earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...”
Suffice to say that the Earth envisioned by flat-Earth ers is as immovable as any geocentrist could desire. Most (perhaps all) scriptures commonly cited by geocentrists have also been cited by flat-Earth ers. The flat-Earth view is geocentricity with further restrictions.
Like geocentrists, flat-Earth advocates often give long lists of texts. Samuel Birley Rowbotham, founder of the modern flat-Earth movement, cited 76 scriptures in the last chapter of his monumental second edition of Earth not a Globe. Apostle Anton Darms, assistant to the Reverend Wilbur Glenn Voliva, America's best known flat-Earth er, compiled 50 questions about the creation and the shape of the Earth , bolstering his answers with up to 20 scriptures each. Rather than presenting an exhaustive compendium of flat-Earth scriptures, I focus on those which seem to me the strongest. I also comment on some attempts to find the Earth 's sphericity in the Bible.
Scriptural quotes, unless otherwise noted, are from the New English Bible. Hebrew and Greek translations are from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. The Biblical Cosmology is never explicitly stated, so it must be pieced together from scattered passages. The Bible is a composite work, so there is no a priori reason why the Cosmology assumed by its various writers should be relatively consistent, but it is. The Bible is, from Genesis to Revelation, a flat-Earth book.
This is hardly surprising. As neighbors, the ancient Hebrews had the Egyptians to the southwest and the Babylonians to the northeast. Both civilizations had flat-Earth cosmologies. The Biblical Cosmology closely parallels the Sumero-Babylonian Cosmology , and it may also draw upon Egyptian Cosmology .
The Babylonian universe was shaped like a modern domed stadium. The Babylonians considered the Earth essentially flat, with a continental mass surrounded by ocean. The vault of the sky was a physical object resting upon the ocean's waters (and perhaps also upon pillars). Sweet (salt-free) waters below the Earth sometimes manifest themselves as springs. The Egyptian universe was also enclosed, but it was rectangular instead of round. Indeed, it was shaped much like an old-fashioned steamer trunk. (The Egyptians pictured the goddess Nut stretched across the sky as the enclosing dome.) What was the Hebrew view of the universe?
The Order of Creation
The Genesis creation story provides the first key to the Hebrew Cosmology . The order of creation makes no sense from a conventional perspective but is perfectly logical from a flat-Earth viewpoint. The Earth was created on the first day, and it was “without form and void (Genesis 1:2).” On the second day, a vault the “Firmament ” of the King James version was created to divide the waters, some being above and some below the vault. Only on the fourth day were the sun, moon, and stars created, and they were placed “in” (not “above”) the vault.
The Vault of Heaven
The vault of heaven is a crucial concept. The word “Firmament ” appears in the King James version of the Old Testament 17 times, and in each case it is translated from the Hebrew word raqiya, which meant the visible vault of the sky. The word raqiya comes from riqqua, meaning “beaten out.” In ancient times, brass objects were either cast in the form required or beaten into shape on an anvil. A good craftsman could beat a lump of cast brass into a thin bowl. Thus, Elihu asks Job, “Can you beat out [raqa] the vault of the skies, as he does, hard as a mirror of cast metal (Job 37:18)?”
Elihu's question shows that the Hebrews considered the vault of heaven a solid, physical object. Such a large dome would be a tremendous feat of engineering. The Hebrews (and supposedly Yahweh Himself) considered it exactly that, and this point is hammered home by five scriptures:
- Job 9:8, “...who by himself spread out the heavens [shamayim]...”
- Psalm 19:1, “The heavens [shamayim] tell out the glory of God, the vault of heaven [raqiya] reveals his handiwork.”
- Psalm 102:25, “...the heavens [shamayim] were thy handiwork.”
- Isaiah 45:12, “I, with my own hands, stretched out the heavens [shamayim] and caused all their host to shine...”
- Isaiah 48:13, “...with my right hand I formed the expanse of the sky [shamayim]...”
If these verses are about a mere illusion of a vault, they are surely much ado about nothing. Shamayim comes from shameh, a root meaning to be lofty. It literally means the sky. Other passages complete the picture of the sky as a lofty, physical dome. God “sits throned on the vaulted roof of Earth [chuwg], whose inhabitants are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the skies [shamayim] like a curtain, he spreads them out like a tent to live in...[Isaiah 40:22].” Chuwg literally means “circle” or “encompassed.” By extension, it can mean roundness, as in a rounded dome or vault. Job 22:14 says God “walks to and fro on the vault of heaven [chuwg].” In both verses, the use of chuwg implies a physical object, on which one can sit and walk. Likewise, the context in both cases requires elevation. In Isaiah, the elevation causes the people below to look small as grasshoppers. In Job, God's eyes must penetrate the clouds to view the doings of humans below. Elevation is also implied by Job 22:12: “Surely God is at the zenith of the heavens [shamayim] and looks down on all the stars, high as they are.”
This picture of the cosmos is reinforced by Ezekiel's vision. The Hebrew word raqiya appears five times in Ezekiel, four times in Ezekiel 1:22-26 and once in Ezekiel 10:1. In each case the context requires a literal vault or dome. The vault appears above the “living creatures” and glitters “like a sheet of ice.” Above the vault is a throne of sapphire (or lapis lazuli). Seated on the throne is “a form in human likeness,” which is radiant and “like the appearance of the glory of the Lord.” In short, Ezekiel saw a vision of God sitting throned on the vault of heaven, as described in Isaiah 40:22.
The Shape of the Earth
Disregarding the dome, the essential flatness of the Earth 's surface is required by verses like Daniel 4:10-11. In Daniel, the king “saw a tree of great height at the centre of the Earth ...reaching with its top to the sky and visible to the Earth 's farthest bounds.” If the Earth were flat, a sufficiently tall tree would be visible to “the Earth 's farthest bounds,” but this is impossible on a spherical Earth . Likewise, in describing the temptation of Jesus by Satan, Matthew 4:8 says, “Once again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world [cosmos] in their glory.” Obviously, this would be possible only if the Earth were flat. The same is true of Revelation 1:7: “Behold, he is coming with the clouds! Every eye shall see him...”
The Celestial Bodies
The Hebrews considered the celestial bodies relatively small. The Genesis creation story indicates the size and importance of the Earth relative to the celestial bodies in two ways, first by their order of creation, and second by their positional relationships. They had to be small to fit inside the vault of heaven. Small size is also implied by Joshua 10:12, which says that the sun stood still “in Gibeon” and the moon “in the Vale of Aijalon.”
Further, the Bible frequently presents celestial bodies as exotic living beings. For example, “In them [the heavens], a tent is fixed for the sun, who comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, rejoicing like a strong man to run his race. His rising is at one end of the heavens, his circuit touches their farthest ends; and nothing is hidden from his heat (Psalm 19:4-6).” The stars are anthropomorphic demigods. When the Earth 's cornerstone was laid “the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted aloud (Job 38:7).” The morning star is censured for trying to set his throne above that of other stars:
You thought in your own mind, I will scale the heavens; I will set my throne high above the stars of God, I will sit on the mountain where the gods meet in the far recesses of the north. I will rise high above the cloud-banks and make myself like the most high (Isaiah 14:13-14).
Deuteronomy 4:15-19 recognizes the god-like status of stars, noting that they were created for other peoples to worship.
Stars can fall from the skies according to Daniel 8:10 and Matthew 24:29. The same idea is found in the following extracts from Revelation 6:13-16:
...the stars in the sky fell to the Earth , like figs shaken down by a gale; the sky vanished, as a scroll is rolled up...they called out to the mountains and the crags, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One who sits on the throne...”
This is consistent with the Hebrew Cosmology previously described, but it is ludicrous in the light of modern astronomy. If one star let alone all the stars in the sky “fell” on the Earth , no one would be hollering from any mountain or crag. The writer considered the stars small objects, all of which could fall to the Earth without eradicating human life. He also viewed the sky as a physical object. The stars are inside the sky, and they fall before the sky opens. When it is whisked away, it reveals the One throned above (see Isaiah 40:22).
Weaker Arguments
Flat-Earth ers also offer some scriptural arguments that are (in my view) weak, ambiguous, erroneous, or irrelevant. (Ironically, it is these that apologists for sphericity usually choose to deal with in their rebuttals to the flat-Earth ers!) The weak and ambiguous arguments can help support a cumulative picture but are insufficient on their own.
One of the weaker scriptural arguments is that the sky literally has openings (windows) which God can open to let the waters above fall to the surface as rain (see Genesis 7:11, Genesis 8:2, Isaiah 24:18-19, Jeremiah 51:15-16, and Malachi 3:10). While the idea and scriptures are certainly consistent with the flat-Earth Cosmology , they could (for instance) refer to openings in a spherical shell surrounding a spherical Earth . The same applies to the Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11:4, often cited as an attempt to literally reach the heavens.
Likewise, flat-Earth ers frequently cite the numerous Old Testament verses referring to the Earth 's foundations (see 2 Samuel 22:16, Job 38:4, Psalm 18:15, Proverbs 8:29, Isaiah 24:18, and numerous others). Foundations are, however, fairly well-covered by geocentricity. No one would argue for a flat-Earth solely on the basis of “foundations” quotes.
Another less-than-conclusive argument that the Bible is a flat-Earth book is its references to the Earth 's “corners.” For example, “After this, I saw four angels stationed at the four corners [gonia] of the Earth holding back the four winds...(Revelation 7:1).” Spherical apologists are quick to point out that the Greek gonia can refer to regions rather than points. Most translations of the Bible opt for points (the King James version says “on the corners of the Earth ”), implying that the writer viewed the habitable Earth as a four-cornered area. (This was indeed the way many early churchmen interpreted it [Cosmas, 548]. The modern flat-Earth model doesn't have literal corners.) The corners could, however, be those regions at the ends of the Earth referred to by Jeremiah: “[H]e brings up the mist from the ends of the Earth , he opens rifts for the rain and brings the wind out of his storehouses (Jeremiah 51:16).” We shall return to the ends of the Earth .
The Biblical view of the universe is relatively clear and consistent. Biblical statements bearing on Cosmology are (with one possible exception yet to be discussed) consistent with the well-known flat-Earth cosmologies of the ancient Near East, but they are often flatly contradicted by modern science. How do spherical apologists reply?
Spherical Apologetics
Those who claim Biblical support for a spherical Earth typically ignore this forest of consistency and focus on one or two aberrant trees. Some take refuge in audacity. Henry Morris, president of the Institute for Creation Research, cites one of the more explicitly flat-Earth verses in the Old Testament Isaiah 40:22, the “grasshopper” verse quoted earlier as evidence for the sphericity of the Earth . Quoting the King James version “he sitteth upon the circle of the Earth ” Morris ignores the context and the grasshoppers and claims “circle” should read “sphericity” or “roundness” [1956, 8]. This divide and conquer strategy is poor scholarship and worse logic.
Heroic efforts have been made by apologists to explain away the Firmament , which encloses the celestial bodies, has waters above it, and is a masterpiece proving the Creator's craftsmanship. The late Harold W. Armstrong argued that it is empty Newtonian space, and that the “waters above” still surround the edges of the universe, though perhaps not in liquid form [1979, 26]. This simply ignores difficulties and invents evidence. Gerardus Bouw tried to identify the Firmament as a mathematical plenum [1987]. In my view, it is a grave error to reinterpret ancient documents to force their authors to speak with modern voices. Gary Zukov [1979] and Fritjof Capra [1976], for instance, read modern physics into the teachings of eastern mysticism. I consider all such attempts equally suspect.
Perhaps the scripture most frequently offered as evidence of the Earth 's sphericity is the King James version of Job 26:7, “He stretcheth out the north [tsaphon] over the empty place, and hangeth the Earth upon nothing [beliymah].” (The New English Bible translates it, “God spreads the canopy of the sky over chaos and suspends Earth in the void.”) It is not clear what this means. The Hebrew tsaphon literally meant hidden or dark, and it was used in reference to the northern regions. Beliymah literally means “nothing.” That would contradict all of the scriptures which say the Earth rests on foundations, but that interpretation is not necessary. We will return to Job 26:7 later.
Speaking of foundations, Gerardus Bouw, in an undated paper entitled “The Form of the Earth ,” cites a barrage of scriptures about the foundations of the Earth or world as evidence for sphericity. All (or nearly all) of these verses have traditionally been used by flat-Earth ers to prove the Earth flat. If one views the Earth as an architectural structure with floor, curtain walls, and a roof, it is natural to assume it has foundations (and, I might add, a cornerstone). Why a sphere would have foundations escapes me. Bouw's argument that these scriptures refer to the Earth 's core seems strained at best. Also strained is Bouw's interpretation of “the ends of the Earth ” as the points most distant from Jerusalem, and his identification of the Chukchi Peninsula of the Soviet Union, Alaska, Cape Horn, and the southeastern tip of Australia as the “four corners” of the Earth .
Bouw's most interesting argument for sphericity is based on the gospel of Luke. He compares the King James version of Luke 17:31 and 17:34. The former says “In that day, he which shall be upon the house top...” and the latter “in that night there shall be two men in one bed...” (italics added). Bouw then cites 1 Corinthians 15:52 to argue that the events are simultaneous, claiming simultaneity is possible only on a spherical Earth . First of all, the latter claim is wrong. The modern (though not the ancient) flat-Earth model has day and night occurring simultaneously at different points on Earth . Second, the Greek hemera was used much like the English “day.” It could mean the daylight hours, a 24-hour day, or (figuratively) an epoch of unspecified length. Third, Luke appears to have been writing figuratively, and citing Paul to prove otherwise begs the question.
One more spherical argument deserves notice. The 1985 National Creation Conference in Cleveland ended with a formal debate on the relative merits of heliocentricity and geocentricity. Richard Niessen of Christian Heritage College, defending the Copernican view, remarked that the Bible teaches a spherical Earth because it treats north and south as absolutes, but east and west as relative. As evidence of the latter, he cited Psalm 103:12 which says, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our offences from us.” Again, the modern flat-Earth model holds that north and south are absolutes, but east and west are relative. In the ancient flat-Earth model, however, east and west were about as far apart as you could get, which seems to be the image Psalm 103:12 was intended to invoke.
In my view, all arguments to prove the Bible teaches a spherical Earth are weak if not wrong- headed. On the other hand, the flat-Earth Cosmology previously described is historically consistent and requires none of the special pleading apparently necessary to harmonize the Bible with sphericity.
The Book of Enoch The Cosmology previously described is derived from the Bible itself, following the 19th century flat-Earth ers. Some of the evidence is more ambiguous than we would like. Ambiguities in ancient documents can often be elucidated by consulting contemporary documents. The most important ancient document describing Hebrew Cosmology is 1 Enoch (sometimes called the Ethiopic Book of Enoch), one of those long, disjointed, scissors and paste jobs beloved by ancient scribes. For a dozen or so centuries, European scholars knew 1 Enoch only from numerous passages preserved in the patristic literature. In 1773, the Scottish adventurer James Bruce found complete copies in Ethiopia.
Numerous manuscripts of 1 Enoch have since been found in Ethiopian monasteries. Turn of the century scholars concluded that parts of the book are pre-Maccabean, and most (perhaps all) of it was composed by 100 B.C. [Charles, 1913]. These conclusions were largely vindicated when numerous fragments of 1 Enoch were found among the so-called Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran. There have been two major English translations of 1 Enoch, the 1913 translation of R. H. Charles and the 1983 translation by E. Isaac. All of the quotations that follow come from the newer translation.
The importance of 1 Enoch is poorly appreciated outside the scholarly community. Comparison of its text with New Testament books reveals that many Enochian doctrines were taken over by early Christians. E. Isaac writes:
There is little doubt that 1 Enoch was influential in molding New Testament doctrines concerning the nature of the Messiah, the Son of Man, the messianic kingdom, demonology, the future, resurrection, final judgment, the whole eschatological theater, and symbolism. No wonder, therefore, that the book was highly regarded by many of the apostolic and Church Fathers [1986, 10].
The Cosmos As Described In The Book Of Enoch
First Enoch influenced Matthew, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, and several other New Testament books. The punishment of the fallen angels described in 2 Peter seems to come directly from 1 Enoch, as does much of the imagery (or even wording) in Revelation. The Epistle of Jude contains the most dramatic evidence of its influence when it castigates “enemies of religion” as follows:
It was to them that Enoch, the seventh in descent from Adam, directed his prophecy when he said: “I saw the Lord come with his myriads of angels, to bring all men to judgment and to convict all the godless of all the godless deeds they had committed, and of all the defiant words which godless sinners had spoken against him (Jude 14- 15).”
The inner quote, 1 Enoch 1:9, is found in the original Hebrew on a recently-published Qumran fragment [Shanks, 1987, 18]. By attributing prophecy to Enoch, Jude confers inspired status upon the book.
First Enoch is important for another reason. Unlike the canonical books of the Bible, which (in my view) were never meant to teach science, sections of 1 Enoch were intended to describe the natural world. The narrator sometimes sounds like a 2nd century B.C. Carl Sagan explaining the heavens and Earth to the admiring masses. The Enochian Cosmology is precisely the flat-Earth Cosmology previously derived from the canonical books.
The Ends of the Earth
The angel Uriel guided Enoch in most of his travels. They made several trips to the ends of the Earth , where the dome of heaven came down to the surface. For instance, Enoch says:
I went to the extreme ends of the Earth and saw their huge beasts, each different from the other and different birds (also) differing from one another in appearance, beauty, and voice. And to the east of those beasts, I saw the ultimate ends of the Earth which rests on the heaven. And the gates of heaven were open, and I saw how the stars of heaven come out...(1 Enoch 33:1-2).
(The sharp-eyed reader will note what I suspect is an editing error in the Isaac translation. The Earth resting on the heaven makes no sense. R. H. Charles has “whereon the heaven rests.”)
Again, Enoch says, “I went in the direction of the north, to the extreme ends of the Earth , and there at the extreme end of the whole world I saw a great and glorious seat. There (also) I saw three open gates of heaven; when it blows cold, hail, frost, snow, dew, and rain, through each one of the (gates) the winds proceed in the northwesterly direction (1 Enoch 34:1-2).” This accords well with Jeremiah 51:16 which says, “he brings up the mist from the ends of the Earth , he opens rifts for the rain and brings the wind out of his storehouses.” In subsequent chapters, Enoch journeys “to the extreme ends of the Earth ” in the west, south, and east. In each place he saw three more “open gates of heaven.”
There were other things to be seen at the ends of the Earth . Earlier, we deferred discussion of the King James version of Job 26:7, “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the Earth upon nothing.” On several occasions when Enoch and the angel are out beyond the dome of heaven, Enoch comments that there is nothing above or below. For instance, “And I came to an empty place. And I saw (there) neither a heaven above nor an Earth below, but a chaotic and terrible place (1 Enoch 21:1-2).” Could this be the kind of nothingness referred to in Job?
An angel also showed Enoch the storerooms of the winds (18:1) and the cornerstone of the Earth (18:2).
The Sun and Moon
And what of the sun and moon? Psalm 19:4-6 (quoted earlier) suggest that the sun holes up at the ends of the Earth until it is time to rise. Enoch expands upon this idea. In 1 Enoch 41:5, he “saw the storerooms of the sun and the moon, from what place they go out and to which place they return...” Further, “they keep faith one with another: in accordance with an oath they set and they rise.”
Enoch discusses the solar and lunar motions at length, explaining why the apparent azimuths of their rising and setting varies with the season. The explanation, found in the section called “The Book of the Heavenly Luminaries,” begins thus:
This is the first commandment of the luminaries: The sun is a luminary whose egress is an opening of heaven, which is (located) in the direction of the east, and whose ingress is (another) opening of heaven, (located) in the west. I saw six openings through which the sun rises and six openings through which it sets. The moon also rises and sets through the same openings, and they are guided by the stars; together with those whom they lead, they are six in the east and six in the west heaven. All of them (are arranged) one after another in a constant order. There are many windows (both) to the right and the left of these openings. First there goes out the great light whose name is the sun; its roundness is like the roundness of the sky; and it is totally filled with light and heat. The chariot in which it ascends is (driven by) the blowing wind. The sun sets in the sky (in the west) and returns by the northeast in order to go to the east; it is guided so that it shall reach the eastern gate and shine in the face of the sky (1 Enoch 72:2-5).
The openings in the vault of heaven in the east and west are matched to the seasons. On the longest day of the year, the sun rises and sets through the northernmost pair. On the shortest day, it rises and sets through the southernmost pair. The return routes of the sun and moon are outside the dome. Perhaps they rest in their “storerooms” during their time off.
The Stars
Like the Bible, 1 Enoch typically depicts stars as living, anthropomorphic beings. The Sons of the Gods are also dealt with in 1 Enoch, and they are associated with stars. This is consistent with Job 38:7, which says that when the Earth 's cornerstone was laid “the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted aloud.”
As mentioned earlier, Matthew 24:29 and Revelation 6:13 deal with stars that fall to Earth . The image comes from Enoch, but Matthew and John omit some details. In 1 Enoch 88:1, a star that fell from the sky is seized, bound hand and foot, and thrown into an abyss. A few verses later, other stars “whose sexual organs were like the organs of horses” are likewise bound hand and foot and cast “into the pits of the Earth (1 Enoch 88:3).”
Most stars just go through their motions night after night. Some stars never set, and Enoch was shown their chariots (1 Enoch 75:8). Stars that do rise and set do so through openings in dome, just like the sun and moon. God, according to 1 Enoch, runs a tight universe, and stars that do not rise on time are thrown into the celestial slammer. Showing Enoch a hellish scene, the angel Uriel explains:
This place is the (ultimate) end of heaven and Earth : it is the prison house for the stars and the powers of heaven. And the stars which roll over upon the fire, they are the ones which have transgressed the commandments of God from the beginning of their rising because they did not arrive punctually (1 Enoch 18:14-15).
Enoch was not told the sentence for tardy rising, but Uriel later shows him other stars “which have transgressed the commandments of the Lord,” for which they were doing ten million years of hard time (1 Enoch 21:6). Enoch also was shown an even more terrible place, a fiery prison house where fallen angels were detained forever (1 Enoch 21:10).
1 Enoch deserves study for its Cosmology , but there is much more of interest. It profoundly influenced Christian eschatology, and it is necessary reading for anyone trying to understand Hebrew religious thought at the dawn of the Christian era.
Conclusion
From their geographical and historical context, one would expect the ancient Hebrews to have a flat-Earth Cosmology . Indeed, from the very beginning, ultra-orthodox Christians have been flat-Earth ers, arguing that to believe otherwise is to deny the literal truth of the Bible. The flat-Earth implications of the Bible were rediscovered and popularized by English-speaking Christians in the mid-19th century. Liberal scriptural scholars later derived the same view. Thus, students with remarkably disparate points of view independently concluded that the ancient Hebrews had a flat-Earth Cosmology , often deriving this view from scripture alone. Their conclusions were dramatically confirmed by the rediscovery of 1 Enoch.

Hebrew Cosmology by Jake Wilson
Abstract
Enochian Cosmology is often regarded as bewildering and unrelated to reality. The article explores the main features of the ancient Hebrew universe showing that the prophet’s revelation was accurate; it is concluded that the heliocentric model is false.
Keywords:
Enoch, Cosmology , geocentrism, heliocentrism, Counter-Reformation
Introduction
The answer to the above is, “There is none.” And because this is so, the following can only serve as a synopsis of our cosmos. It cannot go beyond that, but it may help to appreciate God’s wonderful creation.
Giving credence to heliocentrism is as little compatible with Biblical faith as ignoring the law of causality or biogenesis. Intriguing tales about expanding singularities sparked off by magical quantum flutters are covered by scientism; they can be absorbed at school and university but won’t be dealt with in this article.
The subject at hand is sometimes called a tool of division and therefore avoided, but I beg to differ. If the Messiah came to bring division, then who are we to stand in His way? The sword, i.e. the Word of God divides, and I intend to use it.
Since various non-canonical and rabbinic sources add helpful information on the topic, I will quote them extensively, particularly the Book of Enoch.
The Foundations
The first key to Hebrew Cosmology is found in the simplicity of the Genesis account. In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth (note: not in their final form).
Initially, the Earth resembled an unstructured waste surrounded by water, known as the deep (תְּהוֹם, tehom). When God said, “Let there be light!,” the Son of God was called into being and the Word of God materialized as the Light of the World. The Second Book of Enoch expands on this:
And I commanded in the deep that visible things should come out of invisible and there came forth a great light. And I was in the midst of a great light, and as light was born from light, there came forth a great world, revealing all creation, which I had purposed to make. And I saw that it was good. And I placed for Myself a throne, and sat upon it, and said to the light: Go thence up higher and fix yourself high above the throne and be a foundation for the highest things. And there was nothing higher than the light, and as I reclined, I saw it from My throne. (2 En. xxv, 1, 3–6)After the Son had been begotten, God fixed the Earth firmly and immovable in place. The Genesis account omits the foundation of the Earth , but numerous verses attest to it. Enoch states that God summoned the deep for a second time. Let the solid thing which is visible come forth from the invisible. And the world came forth, bearing the creation of all lower things. And I saw that it was good. And I said: Go thence down below, and make yourself firm, and be a foundation for the lower things; and it was so. And it went down and fixed itself and became the foundation for the lower things. And there was nothing else below the darkness. (2 En. xxvi, 1, 3–4)
God Then Divided The Light From The Darkness, And The First Day Ended:
And I commanded that it should be taken from light and from darkness, and I said: Let it be thick, and it was so. And I spread it out and it became water, and I stretched out the path of the waters above the darkness, below the light. And I separated between the light and the darkness, between the waters here and the waters there. And I said to the light: Be thou day, and to the darkness: Be thou night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (2 En. xxvii, 1–4)
The Creation of the Dome
After the preparations had been completed on day one, God covered the Earth with a dome. The Second Book of Enoch provides some instructive details:
And then I made firm the circle of heaven, and fashioned it like crystal, moist and dry, like glass and ice. And I showed the waters and the other elements their path and I saw that it was good. Thus I made fast the Firmament and fixed it above the water. And the evening and the morning were the second day. (2 En. xxviii, 1, 4)
In Hebrew, the dome is called רָקִיעַ (rakia) whose root word means ‘to beat out,’ ‘to stretch out’, or ‘to spread out.’[1] It is the visible sky, traditionally rendered Firmament or expanse. The word Firmament is the anglicized form of the Latin Firmament um (‘support’) which in turn derives from the Septuagint’s στερέωμα (steréōma from stereós ‘firm,’ ‘solid’). The Firmament is therefore not an atmospheric expanse nor a figurative expression nor some mystical energy nor poetry nor a myth but a solid vault. He made the heavens above firm. (Prov. viii, 28 | Israel Bible). The Firmament was created to divide the waters, resulting in all existing water being split up between the sea below and the vault above. The literally meaning of יַמִּים (yamim ‘seas’) and שָׁמַיִם (shamayim ‘heavens’) is in fact ‘seawaters’ and ‘skywaters’ respectively.
The Holy One, blessed be He, took all the primeval water and poured half in the Firmament and half into the ocean; hence the word peleg (river), meaning palga (half). The Firmament is like a lake, and above the lake is a vault. (Bereshit Rabbah 4:4–5)
The Material of the Dome
Various Biblical and extra-biblical sources point to the dome being made of glass and/or ice, which fits Enoch’s description of the way it was fashioned on day two. There was something that looked like a dome made of dazzling crystal.(Ezek. i, 22 | Good News Translation)
Pride of the heights, a clear vault of the sky – such is the beauty of the heavens, a glorious sight. Sir. xliii, 1 | Jerusalem Bible) All the spirits of the clear vault rejoice in His glory. (4Q405 23 i) Josephus employs the word κρύσταλλον (krustallon ‘crystal’, ‘ice’):
On the second day, he placed the heaven over the whole world, and separated it from the other parts; and he determined it should stand by itself. He also placed a crystalline [Firmament ] round it and put it together in a manner agreeable to the Earth .
The Foundation of the Dome
The ancient sages believed that the Earth was planar, and the mere fact that a dome cannot rest on a sphere and at the same time cover it completely, suggests the Earth ’s shape to be a circular plane. In a vision, Enoch found himself near the outer rim of the terrestrial plane where he saw the vault of heaven touching the Earth : I saw the ends of the Earth whereon the [vault of] heaven rests.(1 En. xxxiii, 2)
The ends of the Earth denote the region where God had marked out a circle and hedged in the sea on day one. This hedge is a 150-foot ice wall which constitutes 95% of the Antarctic coast and is some 60,000 miles in length. The remaining 5% are transantarctic mountain ranges up to 4,500 metres above sea level. The ice shelf is several hundred meters thick and serves as the foundation for the vault.
[He has] founded His vault on the Earth . (Amos ix, 6 | Israel Bible)
He spreadeth out the heavens like a vault; upon the waters hath he founded it. (2 Esdr. xvi, 59)
Given that Antarctica has been penetrated for some 800 miles, the circumference of the vault at its base and thus of the Earth ought to be reckoned at 65,000 miles. The apex height is probably about 4,000 miles, an estimate which will be corroborated further below.
The Floodgates of the Dome
Both the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch state that the vault is equipped with seven floodgates or arrubot(אֲרֻבּוֹת).
And [Yehovah] opened seven floodgates of heaven and the floodgates began to pour down water from the heaven forty days and forty nights. (Jub. v, 24–25)
And again, I raised my eyes to heaven and saw a lofty roof, with seven sluices therein, and these sluices flowed with much water into an enclosure. (1 En. lxxxix, 2)
The word mabbûl is often simplistically translated as ‘flood,’ but it conveys neither a mere flood nor conventional rain. Mabbûl is an old designation for the heavenly ocean, and the torrents that gushed out of those gates were the mabbûl (מַבּוּל), i.e. the waters which had been stored in the vault.
The Circumference of the Ice wall
Captain Cook sailed for three years along the Antarctic coastline covering 60,000 miles; he never found an inlet through the massive glacial wall. In 1774 Cook wrote: “[The ice] extended east and west, far beyond the reach of our sight the southern half of our horizon was illuminated by the rays of light reflected from the ice to a considerable height. It was, indeed, my opinion, as well as the opinion of most on board, that this ice extended quite the pole, or perhaps, joined to some land, to which it had been fixed from the earliest time.” (Cook, The Voyages, 1:445).
The Throne on the Dome
Yehovah is enthroned above the heavenly ocean (mabbûl). (Ps. xxix, 10 | Author’s Translation)
The realm above the heavenly waters is the so-called Third Heaven or the Heaven of Heavens. Paul was translated to this place and so was Enoch:
And he translated my spirit into the heaven of heavens, and I saw there as it were a structure built of crystals, and between those crystals’ tongues of living fire.
And roundabout were Seraphim, Cherubim, and Ophanim. (1 En. lxxi, 5, 7)
Since the heavenly abode of God finds its counterpart in the Earth ly tabernacle (מִשְׁכָּן mishkan ‘dwelling’), it is obvious that the vault answers to the veil which separated the holy from the most holy place and thus divided the sanctuary. Behind the veil, i.e. above the vault is the Throne of God:
Above the dome there was something that looked like a throne made of sapphire. (Ezek. i, 26 | Good News Translation) The exact location is given to us by the fallen cherub who used to guard God’s throne:
I will climb to the sky; Higher than the stars of Hashem I will set my throne. I will sit in the mount of assembly, On the summit of Zaphon. (Isa. xiv, 13 | Israel Bible) The summit of Zaphon (‘north’) is the crown of the dome; it is located above the North Star aka Polaris, one of the luminaries.
The Luminaries
And the Lord said, There shall be Lights in the expanse of heaven, to distinguish between the day and the night; and they shall be for signs and for times, for the numbering of days and years. And they shall be for luminaries in the expanse of heaven to shine upon the Earth ; and it was so. And the Lord made the two great luminaries: the greater [brighter] luminary to rule in the day; and the smaller [less bright] luminary to rule in the night, and the stars. And the Lord set them in the expanse of heaven.
The celestial bodies, i.e. the sun, the moon, and the stars don’t move below the Firmament like the birds, nor above the Firmament like the Seraphim, but within the Firmament . The Firmament cannot possibly be solid through and through, otherwise it couldn’t contain the heavenly ocean and at the same time serve as God’s floor. Put differently, the vault is filled with water and the luminaries move in it. For this reason, the dome is often portrayed as being shiny, or in appearance as water mixed with fire:
I saw something that looked like a glass sea mixed with fire, and people were standing on it. (Rev. xv, 2 | Contemporary English Version)
The cherubim bless the image of the throne-chariot above the Firmament , and they praise the majesty of the luminous Firmament beneath His seat of glory. (4Q405 20, ii–22)
The laws which govern the movement of the luminaries in the vault were shown to Enoch who noted them down in a book:
[The] Book on the Motion of the Luminaries of the Heaven, how each one of them stands in relation to their number, to their powers and their times, of their names and their origins and their months. (1 En. lxxii, 1)
The Sun
Swift is the sun in his course, for he compasseth the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his own place in one day. Is He not great that maketh these things? (1 Esdr. iv, 34–35)
The sun, as he emerges, proclaims at his rising: How wonderful a thing, the work of the Most High! At his zenith, he parches the ground, who can withstand his blaze? Great is the Lord who created him and whose word speeds him on his course. (Sir. xliii, 2–3, 5 | Jerusalem Bible)
The sun or shemesh(שֶׁמֶשׁ ‘sky fire’) is a rotating sphere with a diameter of some 40 miles, illuminating about half of the Earth at any given time.
Due to its clockwise movement the sun always seems to rise in the East and set in the West, but this impression is merely due to convergence. The horizontal lines described by the Earth ’s surface, the sun’s path and the observer’s eye-line appear to converge in the distance. Enoch perceived these vanishing points of the sun as arcs and called them ‘gates’.
The light called Sun has its exit among the gates of heaven in the east and it sets among the gates of heaven in the west. (1 En. lxxii, 2)
One revolution of the sun around the Earth ’s hub takes 24 hours, and its journey between the tropics takes one year. Plane geometry puts the sun’s height at some 6,000 km above the inner tropic and 3,000 km above the outer, thereby establishing the sun’s conical trajectory in the vault.
While spiralling upwards the sun passes through six superimposed gates, each of them having either thirty or thirty-one sections, one section per day. After six month the sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer, i.e. the 6th gate. Then it spirals down again for six months till it reaches the Tropic of Capricorn, i.e. the 1st gate.
And I saw six gates from which the sun rises and six gates where the sun sets. (1 En. lxxii, 3)
The Sun is constantly travelling on a conical trajectory, and the gradual change in its altitude and orbital circumference results in the different seasons.
The Moon
The moon, ever punctual to mark the times, an everlasting sign: It is the moon that signals the feasts, a luminary that wanes after being full. The month derives its name from hers, she waxes wonderfully in her phases, banner of the hosts on high, shining in the vault of heaven. (Sir. xliii, 6–8 | Jerusalem Bible)
The moon is a rotating semi-transparent sphere, in circumference equal to the sun: With respect to their size the two [the sun and the moon] are equal. (1 En. lxxii, 37) The moon receives its light from the sun in fourteen equal parts. The ratio of brightness of a full moon versus the sun is 1:7.
On the first day it is called New Moon because on the day light appears on it. The whole time in which the illumination of the moon progresses, light is transmitted to it, facing the sun, until the fourteenth day when its light is complete and then it amounts to one seventh of the light of the sun. (1En. lxxviii, 12, 11; lxxiii, 3)
The moon then wanes over fourteen days until it exhibits zero illumination:
And in her waning the moon decreases from its light. On the first day it has fourteen parts, and on the second day thirteen parts [and on the fourteenth day it has one part]. And all the rest of its light is removed, and its orb emerges, devoid of all light, hidden by the sun. (1 En. lxxviii, 8, 14)
Like the sun, the moon moves clockwise but slightly slower, completing its daily circuit in 24.83 hours. However, instead of one year it takes the moon only one month to travel its cone up and down. The reason for this lies not so much in the fact that its cone is a bit smaller, but rather that its trajectory is much steeper. On the average, the moon passes through each gate 2.5 times, not thirty times as the sun does. Accordingly, the moon covers some 3,000 km within two weeks.
Table 1 shows the positions and phases of the moon during the month of Sivan (May–June). Throughout the entire month the sun rises and sets in gate six at the celestial Tropic of Cancer:

Tracking App will confirm the above movement which was shown to
Enoch 5,300 years ago: the moon stays for four days in G6 at the terrestrial Tropic of Cancer, then spirals down to G1 above Capricorn where it orbits for eight days before going back to G6. This pattern repeats itself every month with a different combination of gates.
As commonly taught, the lunar phases are caused by different angles between the sun and the moon. An angle of 0° produces a new moon, and angle of 180° causes a full moon.
The Stars
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one-star differeth from another star in glory. (1 Cor. xv, 41)
There are two types of stars: the fixed stars which maintain their relative position in a constellation and the wandering stars (or planets) which move independently. The only motionless star is Polaris which is orbited within 24 hours by the other stars in counter clockwise direction.
Like the sun and the moon, the stars were put into the vault, from which follows that they are surrounded by water. Stars can be described as sonoluminescent cavities which constantly expand and collapse, thereby emitting short bursts of light. In other words, a star is ‘sound turned into light.’
Their sound went into all the Earth , and their words unto the ends of the world. (Rom. x, 18) We cannot hear their words, and yet we know exactly what they are saying: they are proclaiming the Glory of God.
Furthermore, they are relating the redemption story. The ancient star pictures tell us about the birth, suffering, and reign of the Messiah, and the sun leads through the story.
Table 2 lists the positions of the twelve zodiac constellations in the vault:

Unlike the sun which revolves 360° in 24 hours, the stars orbit 361°, which causes the signs to shift. After one month the entirety of stars has moved by 30°, and the relative position towards the sun of e.g. Capricornus is taken by Aquarius, and a month later by Pisces, etc. That is the reason why the sun spirals down through the remaining six signs and not through the previous six.
Rainbows
For this reason, the Firmament acts as a prism when the sun is at the right angle. Falling water droplets cannot produce a rainbow since they are spinning which causes the spectral colours to scatter into perfect white. Ice and water particles can, however, act as a screen if the light is being split up at a point between the light source and the particles. Since the sunlight is split by the dome, i.e. by a vaulted arch, the spectrum projected to the droplets appears in a similar shape – as a rainbow arch; halos are caused by the same refractive properties of the vault. “Atmospheric refraction is technically not possible without a solid extension above the Earth .” M. Eugenio, Dossier 111: The Real Measures of the (Flat) Earth (Earth measured, 2018), 293.
Conclusion
The views which were presented describe the real world we live in, not a virtual solar system. Although Copernicanism is meant to be an impregnable concept, I don’t see the need to falsify it, since its folly is apparent.
From the days of Constantine, Rome has aimed to replace the worship of God with the worship of the sun, and when Scripture became publicly available, she used other means besides killing its readers or corrupting it. In order to undermine the Bible’s authority, Rome began to change the perception of the masses regarding reality. That way she would nullify its main enemy without having to burn people or Torah scrolls.
Heliocentrism was simply a tool of the Counter-Reformation and has been the bedrock of Jesuit ‘education’ ever since. Like the big bang and evolution, it is an ancient pagan belief which was merely revived by the beast.
Jesuit priest Bernhard Stempfle, the ghostwriter of Mein Kampf, explains the secret of Rome’s success quite aptly:
In the big lie, there is always a certain force of credibility because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily. And thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more readily fall victim to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously, even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think there may be some other explanation.
Added to this, we find that by and large fallen humanity prefers deception if it negates the Creator’s existence.
The few, however, who neither dread the ridicule nor the risk of losing friends or reputation, will find the probing of the topic most rewarding and refreshing.
In summary, we may conclude that the Enochian Cosmology is correct and accurate while today’s so-called astronomical science is wrong.
Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called. (1 Tim. vi, 20)

“Enochian Cosmology ” and The Enclosed Round Earth
This weekend I had a bit of an “epiphany” while doing some Bible reading. Maybe not an epiphany to the degree of suddenly feeling like “Aha, I figured it all out, I know the answer!”, but more the kind of epiphany where I at least feel like perhaps I have begun to stumble upon what the real question might actually be…
I was reading through the Book of Revelation (it had actually been a while since I just sat down and read through it), and I got to the point in chapter 8 where the “Trumpet judgments” begin. In verse ten it says, “The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water – the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.”
Now, we all know that literal stars, (essentially huge masses of gases performing thermonuclear fusion), could not “fall to Earth ” without completely obliterating it, and so understandably we take on an interpretation of such verses as involving more than just literal stars. Along with a following verse in chapter 9 which reads, “The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the Earth . The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace…”, it got me thinking about the whole angels/stars association in the whole of the Bible, and then suddenly I’m also thinking about the “Flat Earth ” issue which I’ve been seeing receive a fair amount of attention lately.
Biblical Earth
I’ll just cut to the chase here. What suddenly dawned on me was the idea that this concept of a “Flat Earth ”, or enclosed system, might actually be accurate after all, only, not in the way that so many people think. What I mean is: What if “Flat Earth Cosmology ” wasn’t intended as a mere physical description of the universe at all, but rather a metaphysical one?
The very moment this question popped into my head, my mind started racing and running through all the little bits and pieces of “back-burner info” that suddenly were making a ton of sense within such a conceptual construct. I began thinking about the “Flatlander” metaphor once again, (which I’ve written about before in the context of reflecting upon higher dimensions as beings confined to a three-dimensional reality).
I quickly began to think that surely this is perspective which other people have already (re)discovered, and sure enough, it is. I found this summation to be quite poignant:
“…If the flat-Earth Cosmology of the ancients appears to the critical modern mind as physically naïve, we should remind ourselves that it related primarily to the inward, or vertical, dimension of existence. Flat-Earth Cosmology was the product of a fundamentally different intention from that of our own modern Cosmology . It was not meant to chart precisely the physical cosmos but to represent symbolically a metaphysical order of being. For all its physical naivete, it had a spiritual profundity that is totally absent from the physically sophisticated but metaphysically barren modern Cosmology . The ancients lived in a world that could be entered into an experienced in its inward depth; the moderns, oblivious of the depth dimension, are content to map in interminable detail outer surfaces of a godless universe…” (excerpt from “Temple of the Cosmos: The Ancient Egyptian Experience of the Sacred”)
In essence, we’re talking about what might be called the “spiritual architecture of the universe” here. A universe with multiple dimensions, i.e. spiritual dimensions, beyond that which we are able to experience and comprehend on a day-to-day level. So how to describe things which exist beyond three-dimensional space/time to a 3-D being? Well, you have use three-dimensional terms, concepts and descriptions, because that’s all we can really comprehend. Just as a two-dimensional “Flatlander” could only try to conceptualize 3-D space/time within their own 2-D perspective, so it is for us.
The moment we take this concept with us and keep it in mind when we examine various examples of “Flat-Earth Bible” interpretation, things really start to open up on a whole new level. The “metaphysical architecture” of the universe operates on a scale which both “higher” dimensions of existence, yet also intersects with and involves our own physical dimension at the same time, and so is not a description of some entirely separate or detached reality, but one that seeks to describe the Creation on a level which pushes the limits of our finite comprehension. I read through the entirety of this exposition through the lens of “metaphysical interpretation” and was just amazed. The author talks about the various historical references made to defend a literal Flat Earth , such as:
- 1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the Earth firm, immovable.”
- Psalm 93:1: “Thou hast fixed the Earth immovable and firm …”
- Psalm 96:10: “He has fixed the Earth firm, immovable …”
- Psalm 104:5: “Thou didst fix the Earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.”
- Isaiah 45:18: “…who made the Earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast…”
- And other scriptures which refer specifically to the concept of the “vault of Heaven”:
- Job 9:8, “…who by himself spread out the heavens [shamayim]…”
- Psalm 19:1, “The heavens [shamayim] tell out the glory of God, the vault of heaven [raqiya] reveals his handiwork.”
- Psalm 102:25, “…the heavens [shamayim] were thy handiwork.”
- Isaiah 45:12, “I, with my own hands, stretched out the heavens [shamayim] and caused all their host to shine…”
- Isaiah 48:13, “…with my right hand I formed the expanse of the sky [shamayim]…”
What really interested me though was the thorough exploration of the many intersecting tangents between the Biblical examples of these cosmological themes, and the ones found in the Book of Enoch:
The Ends of the Earth
The angel Uriel guided Enoch in most of his travels. They made several trips to the ends of the Earth , where the dome of heaven came down to the surface. For instance, Enoch says:
I went to the extreme ends of the Earth and saw huge beasts, each different from the other and different birds (also) differing from one another in appearance, beauty, and voice. And to the east of those beasts, I saw the ultimate ends of the Earth which rests on the heaven. And the gates of heaven were open, and I saw how the stars of heaven come out. (1 Enoch 33:1-2).
(The sharp-eyed reader will note what I suspect is an editing error in the Isaac translation. The Earth resting on the heaven makes no sense. R. H. Charles has “whereon the heaven rests.”)
Again, Enoch says, “I went in the direction of the north, to the extreme ends of the Earth , and there at the extreme end of the whole world I saw a great and glorious seat. There (also) I saw three open gates of heaven; when it blows cold, hail, frost, snow, dew, and rain, through each one of the (gates) the winds proceed in the northwesterly direction (1 Enoch 34:1-2).” This accords well with Jeremiah 51:16 which says, “he brings up the mist from the ends of the Earth , he opens rifts for the rain and brings the wind out of his storehouses.” In subsequent chapters, Enoch journeys “to the extreme ends of the Earth ” in the west, south, and east. In each place he saw three more “open gates of heaven.”
King James version of Job 26:7, “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the Earth upon nothing.” On several occasions when Enoch and the angel are out beyond the dome of heaven, Enoch comments that there is nothing above or below. For instance, “And I came to an empty place. And I saw (there) neither a heaven above nor an Earth below, but a chaotic and terrible place (1 Enoch 21:1-2).” Could this be the kind of nothingness referred to in Job?
An angel also showed Enoch the storerooms of the winds (18:1) and the cornerstone of the Earth (18:2).
The Sun and Moon
And what of the sun and moon? Psalm 19:4-6 (quoted earlier) suggest that the sun holes up at the ends of the Earth until it is time to rise. Enoch expands upon this idea. In 1 Enoch 41:5, he “saw the storerooms of the sun and the moon, from what place they go out and to which place they return…” Further, “they keep faith one with another: in accordance with an oath they set and they rise.”
Enoch discusses the solar and lunar motions at length, explaining why the apparent azimuths of their rising and setting varies with the season. The explanation, found in the section called “The Book of the Heavenly Luminaries,” begins thus:
This is the first commandment of the luminaries: The sun is a luminary whose egress is an opening of heaven, which is (located) in the direction of the east, and whose ingress is (another) opening of heaven, (located) in the west. I saw six openings through which the sun rises and six openings
through which it sets. The moon also rises and sets through the same openings, and they are guided by the stars; together with those whom they lead, they are six in the east and six in the west heaven. All of them (are arranged) one after another in a constant order. There are many windows (both) to the right and the left of these openings. First there goes out the great light whose name is the sun; its roundness is like the roundness of the sky; and it is totally filled with light and heat. The chariot in which it ascends is (driven by) the blowing wind. The sun sets in the sky (in the west) and returns by the northeast in order to go to the east; it is guided so that it shall reach the eastern gate and shine in the face of the sky (1 Enoch 72:2-5).
The openings in the vault of heaven in the east and west are matched to the seasons. On the longest day of the year, the sun rises and sets through the northernmost pair. On the shortest day, it rises and sets through the southernmost pair. The return routes of the sun and moon are outside the dome. Perhaps they rest in their “storerooms” during their time off.
The Stars
Like the Bible, 1 Enoch typically depicts stars as living, anthropomorphic beings. The Sons of the Gods are also dealt with in 1 Enoch, and they are associated with stars. This is consistent with Job 38:7, which says that when the Earth ’s cornerstone was laid “the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted aloud.”
As mentioned earlier, Matthew 24:29 and Revelation 6:13 deal with stars that fall to Earth . The image comes from Enoch, but Matthew and John omit some details. In 1 Enoch 88:1, a star that fell from the sky is seized, bound hand and foot, and thrown into an abyss. A few verses later, other stars “whose sexual organs were like the organs of horses” are likewise bound hand and foot and cast “into the pits of the Earth (1 Enoch 88:3).”
Most stars just go through their motions night after night. Some stars never set, and Enoch was shown their chariots (1 Enoch 75:8). Stars that do rise and set do so through openings in dome, just like the sun and moon. God, according to 1 Enoch, runs a tight universe, and stars that do not rise on time are thrown into the celestial slammer. Showing Enoch a hellish scene, the angel Uriel explains:
This place is the (ultimate) end of heaven and Earth : it is the prison house for the stars and the powers of heaven. And the stars which roll over upon the fire, they are the ones which have transgressed the commandments of God from the beginning of their rising because they did not arrive punctually (1 Enoch 18:14-15).
Enoch was not told the sentence for tardy rising, but Uriel later shows him other stars “which have transgressed the commandments of the Lord,” for which they were doing ten million years of hard time (1 Enoch 21:6). Enoch also was shown an even more terrible place, a fiery prison house where fallen angels were detained forever (1 Enoch 21:10).
Even in what here is a larger post than what which I typically write, I know I am barely scratching the surface in exploring the many directions which could be taken while speculating on these matters from the “both/and” type of approach. One of the themes often related to “Flat Earth ” theory, by figures such as Mark Sargent (and others) is the concept of an “enclosed system”. While they might apply this idea in a very straight-forward materialistic way (the sky being a literal, physical dome that you would physically crash into if you flew high enough), from my newly-developing perspective of the “flat Earth ” being more a description of the plane of existence in which we live, it very much can be looked at as being an “enclosed system”, albeit in a much more dynamic sense, particularly from the perspective of both mortal humans, and fallen angelic beings…oculus.
From the perspective of “Satanic agenda”, once again the idea that there is very real, tangible-yet-spiritual veil separating the Earth and the Heavens, creating an imposing barrier which the Fallen Cherub hopes to penetrate and ascend through in order to dethrone God Himself, then once again, this cosmological model seems to fit almost too perfectly. When I think about all instances where Luciferian/Illuminati symbolism in the media involves the imagery of the “oculus in the ceiling”, or, rising through a portal in the “eye” of some Pantheon-like structure, it’s just quite amazing to see how much these concepts really do all fit together.

The Uniformity and Constancy of Stellar Constellations in Relative Motion: Parallax Dethroned
In the Heliocentric Theory, it is postulated that the Stars are expanding outwards in such a way that they are expanding out uniform and constant with respect to the Earth’s similar outward trajectory, as all things move in relative motion. The function of this postulate is to sneak in “billions and billions” (Carl Sagan) of light years of distance into the space fable that might justify a subsequent *Stellar Parallax claim, which, in turn, might wildly account for why the Constellations appear to remain fixed, uniform, and constant with respect to the Earth’s similar outward trajectory, from year to year, decade to decade, and century to century.
*Stellar parallax: Stellar parallax the difference in direction of a celestial object as seen by an observer from two widely separated points. The measurement of parallax is used directly to find the distance of the body from the Earth (geocentric parallax) and from the Sun (heliocentric parallax). The two positions of the observer and the position of the object form a triangle; if the base line between the two observing points is known and the direction of the object as seen from each has been measured, the apex angle (the parallax) and the distance of the object from the observer can be found simply.
It works like this: hold out your hand, close your right eye, and place your extended thumb over a distant object. Now, switch eyes, so that your left is closed and your right is open. Your thumb will appear to shift slightly against the background. By measuring this small change and knowing the distance between your eyes, you can calculate the distance to your thumb.
However, Houston, we have a problem. With the homogeneously isotropic expansion of all Stellar material, the Earth would need to be at the dead center of the expansion (i.e. the center of the Universe) in order for the Constellations to appear to remain uniform and constant for thousands of years of expansion, where everything is said to be allegedly shooting out on the cusp of the expansion, literally racing outwards at over a mind numbingly dizzying 2 trillion miles an hour. Unfortunately, there is nobody in modern Astrophysics who is espousing a Heliocentric Theory, where the Earth is the dead center in an expanding Universe. At best, The Earth is said to be who knows where, in relation to the alleged Big Bang epicenter, allegedly nestled in some arm of the Milky Way Galaxy of expanding phenomena…hardly at the center of the Universe, or anything close to that. And that is not my opinion. That is The Heliocentric Theory, a theory which very few Heliocentrists actually study or comprehend.
This being the case, there is no way, if we apply the physics of Newtonian motion and what Stellar Parallax actually is, that the Constellations would remain uniform and constant with respect to the Earth’s similar outward trajectory. On the contrary, the Constellations would expand, and expand, and convolute, and literally dissolve into totally different configurations within the short span of a weekend, never to be seen as they were just a week before, if we were to apply the current Heliocentric Model to the ACTUAL motion of the Stars. The Stars, which make up The Constellations, have remained uniform, fixed, and constant, travelling above the Earth, like clockwork, providing Mankind with a Swiss Clock precision measurement for the Seasons, since the dawn of history.
Alas, Stellar Parallax cannot come to the rescue to explain away this most irrefutably compelling argument against the madly unscientific and insane claims of The Heliocentric Model. In fact, the huge thorn in the Heliocentric Model’s foot is the lack of Stellar Parallax in a model with four vectors of wild and crazy contrary motion.
When we soberly consider the FOUR vectors of contrary motion that The Earth and Sun experience as they fly though an expanding Universe, according to the wildly magical and imaginative Heliocentric Theory, we immediately see the hoax of The Expanding Universe Model. No amount of ridiculous 1950s Bell Laboratory “Background Radiation” fables can hide the raw data:
5) First, the Earth is allegedly spinning at approximately 1000 mph.
6) Second, while the Earth spins, it is also allegedly moving 67,000 mph around the Sun
7) Third, while these two motions are occurring, the Sun is also allegedly, and in fact, our whole Solar System is allegedly orbiting around the center of The Milky Way Galaxy. We are supposedly moving at an average velocity of 828,000 km/hr.
8) Fourth, the entire Milky Way Galaxy is also allegedly going 670,000,000 mph on the membrane of an expanding Universe.
With all that contrary motion we should be seeing different Constellations or the change in shape and size of the current Constellations all the time, every year. But they remain fixed and constant, year after year. It does not matter how many light years of distance you inject into the Heliocentric Model. All the crazy angles, distances, and stellar magnitudes in the world cannot cover up the facts that The Constellations are fixed and constant, moving as a connected canopy above us, and reoccur as predictably as the seasons we see them in. And these facts could not be true if The Earth, Sun, and all The Stars were on a roller coaster ride of contrary motion out in Magical Mythical Outer Space.
Heliocentrism is a highly flawed occult fantasy, and nothing more. It was never proven, but rather only repeated endlessly until brainwashed the small children, who grew up to be religious Star Trek loving zealots for the Astro-Theological religion called Astrophysics. It makes no scientific sense, and it is in its last death throes, like a fish flapping on the rocks about to die of Helios Worship.
RIP Heliocentric Model.
The Fantasy of Light Years, Vast Stellar Magnitudes, and an Expanding Universe
The fantasy of light years, vast stellar magnitudes, and an expanding Universe were necessary to sell the Outer Space narrative. It is self-evident to any who gaze out towards The Stars that The Stars are very local and rotate, East to West, around the center axis of Polaris (The North Star), with all the luminaries fixed inside it, except the Sun and The Moon, which do not move in any fixed relationship with The Stars. The Sun and The Moon are local, and move independently of The Stars.
The Lightyear Fantasy: A Local Sky
All of this is occurring very close to The Earth, as anyone with eyes or a good telescope can see. The only way you could delude yourself into thinking that all these stellar phenomenon were billions of light years away is if you truly did not know what a lightyear actually is, or you were hypnotized by too much NASA and Hollywood movie magic. All of this is self-evident. These are empirical observations that anyone can make.
The Constellations are, and have been, fixed and unchanging since the dawn of human history, in rotating asterisms, patterns, or groups of stars seen in the night sky. There is no provable Outer Space out there except in fake NASA computer generated films, Hollywood science fiction films, science fiction books, and in Disney films, where the universe is painted as a magic fantasyland expanding out into billions of light years of distance. This was all fabricated and concocted by Jesuit Vatican Priests to assist in pushing the narrative of an expanding Universe, which the fixed and unchanging Constellations clearly disprove. And who do we discover is behind NASA and Hollywood? You guessed it…The Jesuit Vatican.
The Celestial Sphere: The Rotating Sphere of Stars Around the Flat Earth
In astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an abstract sphere that has a large radius and is concentric to Earth. All objects in the sky can be conceived as being projected upon the inner surface of the celestial sphere, which may be centered on Earth or the observer. If centered on the observer, half of the sphere would resemble a hemispherical screen over the observing location.
The celestial sphere is a practical tool for spherical astronomy, allowing astronomers to specify the apparent positions of objects in the sky if their distances are unknown or irrelevant. In the equatorial coordinate system, the celestial equator divides the celestial sphere into two halves: the northern and southern celestial hemispheres.
Star Globe
A celestial sphere can also refer to a physical model of the celestial sphere or celestial globe. Such globes map the constellations on the outside of a sphere, resulting in a mirror image of the constellations as seen from Earth. The oldest surviving example of such an artifact is the globe of the Farnese Atlas sculpture, a 2nd-century copy of an older (Hellenistic period, ca. 120 BCE) work.
Observers would, of course, see objects in that sky under much the same conditions – as if projected onto a dome.
A Universe is Not Expanding and is Fixed: The Red and Blue Shift Scam
Additionally, this initial expanding universe fantasy was coupled with the idea of Red and Blue shifting Star colors to prove and Expanding Universe. However, Stars exhibit far more colors than merely red of blue, obviously. A better explanation of Star composition is the noble gases under cavitation from sound. Each gas, depending on its atomic structure emits certain wavelengths, its emission spectrum, which determines the color of the light from the emission. Stars may be understood as varying types of gases trapped as the rotating Constellations and activated and fixated in position and intensity via Ultra Acoustic resonance.
The Black Hole Fantasy: More Red and Blue Shift Fantasy
The “authorities” have telescopic equipment (an extension of their senses) which can see a so-called Quasar they claim is at a distance of 13.7 billion light years from Earth. This so-called Quasar is said by astronomers to be the most distant object in the visible universe, solely because of it’s observed “red-shifted” light and they call the bubble created by the extension of the radius in all directions, our entire Universe, with Earth as it’s center and reference point. Scientists believe that quasars get their “fuel” from super-massive black holes that eject enormous amounts of energy as they consume surrounding matter. (This is thinking with the senses and based on appearances!) Which is pure academic lunacy, because quasars are ejected baby galaxies birthed by their mother galaxies and the energy they exhibit is the result of the violent explosions which birthed them, not from some bizarre and exotic form of energy production “within them”, like the non-existent “theoretical” black holes of academic fantasy, or the nuclear furnaces said to be in Stars.
Star Colors and Corresponding Approximate Temperatures
As we learned in The Electromagnetic Spectrum section, Wien’s law relates stellar color to stellar temperature. Blue colors dominate the visible light output of very hot stars (with much additional radiation in the ultraviolet). On the other hand, cool stars emit most of their visible light energy at red wavelengths (with more radiation coming off in the infrared). The color of a star therefore provides a measure of its intrinsic or true surface temperature (apart from the effects of reddening by interstellar dust, which will be discussed in Between the Stars: Gas and Dust in Space). Color does not depend on the distance to the object. This should be familiar to you from everyday experience. The color of a traffic signal, for example, appears the same no matter how far away it is. If we could somehow take a star, observe it, and then move it much farther away, its apparent brightness (magnitude) would change. But this change in brightness is the same for all wavelengths, and so its color would remain the same.
Stars have different colors, which are indicators of temperature. The hottest stars tend to appear blue or blue-white, whereas the coolest stars are red. A color index of a star is the difference in the magnitudes measured at any two wavelengths and is one way that astronomers measure and express the temperature of stars.
Star ColorApproximate TemperatureExample
Blue 25,000 K Spica
White 10,000 K Vega
Yellow 6000 K Sun
Orange 4000 K Aldebaran

Vast Stellar Magnitudes to Dazzle and Subdue the Imagination
The Earth is clearly not in motion, and this is why it is observed to be motionless, regardless of the Copernican conjecture that it is orbiting The Sun. One is free to assume certain Laws, Star Magnitudes, Lightyears of Distances, etc… in order to fit with a Heliocentric model, but it is still all theoretical assumption, ultimately. And these were the assumptions that Copernicus had to make in order to justify his model. Nevertheless, all of it is conjecture while the observable Earth and Stars appear just as they are. The stellar phenomenon above the earth are clearly very small. They are close to The Earth and small in magnitude. The only reason anyone thinks stellar magnitudes are vast and massive is because they were taught that in Hollywood and NASA science fiction studio film work.
NASA is Proof Nothing But Cinematic Technique
NASA’s computer generated cartoons, fake Apollo Mission Hollywood film work, Mars Rover nonsense, ISS, Cassini, and Hubble Outer Space science fiction are proof of nothing other than NASA is a big budget science fiction movie studio with expensive rocket props that never escape The Earth’s upper atmosphere, as even NASA has confessed several times.
The Heliocentric Model is a Masterwork Of Reverse Engineering
Math proves nothing with imaginary distances and magnitudes. It’s like using math to prove a science fiction story is true. Math proves nothing when you make up all the rules and variable of an imaginary Outer Space realm. Math only applies to KNOWN VARIABLES, not hypothetical fantasies.
The Heliocentric Model is a masterwork of reverse engineering of the natural flat and observable topography of the Earth, misinterpreting the data of observable positions and sizes of the Stars, Sun, and Moon etc... using wild and fantastic mathematics to contrive an equally fantastic and erroneous model.

Bell Labs Researchers Allegedly Discover Cosmic Background Radiation: No Proof of a Big Bang
The alleged discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation is said to be one of the strongest pieces of evidence supporting the “Big Bang” theory of the origin of the universe.
In 1964, Bell Labs scientists Arno Penzias and Robert A. Wilson were conducting experiments with the Holmdel Horn Antenna, an extremely sensitive device originally used to detect radio waves that were bounced off Echo balloon satellites, and later Telstar, the first active communications satellite. These radio waves were so weak, that it became critical to eliminate all possible interference in order to detect them.
Despite taking all conceivable steps to eliminate interference, they continually detected a strange, buzzing noise that was coming from all parts of the sky at all times of day and night. They did a range of additional testing on the equipment, and even removed some pigeons that were nesting in the antenna and their associate detritus. Still, the sound persisted. They ultimately determined that the noise was coming from outside of our galaxy.
Almost by chance, they later learned that researchers and astrophysicists Robert H. Dicke, Jim Peebles and David Wilkinson at nearby Princeton University were looking for a way to detect residual radiation that they believed would have resulted from The Big Bang. As it turned out, the radiation detected by Penzias and Wilson was a perfect match for what the Princeton researchers had predicted, and hence made history.
However, there is one caveat that all these Scientism Priests neglected to consider. Because these researchers detected a little white noise fuzz, they took a giant leap into crazy land by assuming there is another galaxy beyond the known Milky Way Rift above The Earth. They essentially conjured up a galaxy that they cannot verify in order to assume that some white noise coming over their instruments was proof of a Big Bang 14.5 billion years ago. The massive perversion of logic and deductive reasoning that these scientists perpetrated is almost incomprehensible. They literally abandoned all scientific method to claim things that are unverifiable. They determined that the noise was coming from outside of our galaxy with zero proof.
And so, the whole cosmic background radiation joke is no proof of a Big Bang

The Myth of Light Years and Star Distances
The Inverse Square Law and Star Distances
The idea that you can see Stars burning at billions of light years away defies all the known laws of physics, and in particular, The Inverse Square Law. The Inverse Square Law is any physical law stating that a specified physical quantity or intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity. The intensity of light is inversely proportional to the distance of the light source. The inverse square law describes the intensity of light at different distances from a light source. The intensity of light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This means that as the distance from a light source increases, the intensity of light is equal to a value multiplied by 1/d2.
More reasonably, Stars are most likely no more than 1000 to 3000 thousand miles away and because of Sonoluminescence, they burn at 25,000 degrees Kelvin. That is insanely hot and bright. A Star the size of a baseball, composed of Argon gas, would emit unimaginably intense luminosity. If you want to make them the size of a car, or a house, or the state of California in your imagination, go ahead, but the principle of Sonoluminescent luminosity remains the same. A bubble of Argon the size of a baseball, burning at 25,000 Kelvin, can easily been seen from The Earth at 3000 miles away. There is no necessity to insert billions of light years into the equation to fabricate a Heliocentric Big Bang fantasy.
There are a few things that that we want to consider when we're talking about the distance of stars and planets. We all look up and we see that the stars and planets are all pretty much the same size, shining forth as twinkling little lights, but Astronomers have conjured up the idea that they are hundreds, thousands, millions, an even billions of light-years away. Astronomers cannot actually measure these distances and the 1950’s Bell Laboratory’s pseudo-scientific Red and Blue Shift data of a hypothetically expanding universe does not correlate with any real observations of the consistently fixed and rotating configuration of The Constellations and Asterisms, from decade to decade, from century to century.
Even though Astronomers would try and convince you that they can measure these astronomical distances, they cannot. The primary hat-trick they use is The Parallax Effect. Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines. Hence, in The Heliocentric Fantasy, knowing the parallax angle of star movement and the size of Earth's orbit, you can allegedly calculate the distance to the star. Thus, a star with a parallax of 1 arc second would be 3.26 light-years away by this method. This distance became known as the “parallactic second,” or parsec for short.
I bet that term “parsec” sounds familiar. That’s right, it is used in Star Trek episodes continually. And the idea that by knowing the parallax angle of star movement and the size of Earth's orbit can translate into the calculation of star distances is as science fiction based as Star Trek, itself. Every bit of the model is based upon assumptions and deductive fantasies and fabrications. First they conjure up an imaginary universe with billions of light years, and then they apply Parallax movements in arc seconds to prove an unproven assumed hypothesis. It is a classic tail-wagging-the-dog faulty equation of circular nonsense.
It is like saying:
“We know that stars are light years away because we claimed that stars are light years away, and then we fabricated equations that fit our claim, yet still with zero proof that stars are actually light years away?”
Makes perfect sense, right? Nope.
And so, what they do is they make a whole lot of assumptions and a whole lot of guesses about the information that they're presenting to you, and based upon that mountain of unproven speculations, they construct a model , complete with artificially derived mathematics, based upon a non-observable, mythical fantasy universe that exists billions of light years away.
- They make up the distances.
- They make up the math.
- They make up the numbers.
- They make up the model.
Yet, none of it is verifiable or provable in real observable terms.
Modern Astronomy’s Outer Space realm is a lot like J. R. R. Tolkien’s “Middle Earth”. Tolkien did an amazing job at creating the model of Middle Earth for his fantasy book series, The Lord of the Rings, complete with thousands of details and descriptions, and yet, after all is said and done, it was still a fantasy realm...just like Outer Space.
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.
Planck made many substantial contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame as a physicist rests primarily on his role as the originator of quantum theory, which revolutionized human understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. In 1948, the German scientific institution Kaiser Wilhelm Society (of which Planck was twice president) was renamed Max Planck Society (MPS). The MPS now includes 83 institutions representing a wide range of scientific directions.
Black Bodies
As the temperature of a black body decreases, its intensity also decreases and its peak moves to longer wavelengths. Shown for comparison is the classical Rayleigh–Jeans law and its ultraviolet catastrophe.
A black body or blackbody is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. The name "black body" is given because it absorbs all colors of light. A black body also emits black-body radiation. In contrast, a white body is one with a "rough surface that reflects all incident rays completely and uniformly in all directions."
A black body in thermal equilibrium (that is, at a constant temperature) emits electromagnetic black-body radiation. The radiation is emitted according to Planck's law, meaning that it has a spectrum that is determined by the temperature alone (see figure at right), not by the body's shape or composition.
An ideal black body in thermal equilibrium has two notable properties:
It is an ideal emitter: at every frequency, it emits as much or more thermal radiative energy as any other body at the same temperature.
It is a diffuse emitter: measured per unit area perpendicular to the direction, the energy is radiated isotropically, independent of direction.
An approximate realization of a black surface is a hole in the wall of a large, insulated enclosure (an oven, for example). Any light entering the hole is reflected or absorbed at the internal surfaces of the body and is unlikely to re-emerge, making the hole a nearly perfect absorber. When the radiation confined in such an enclosure is in thermal equilibrium, the radiation emitted from the hole will be as great as from anybody at that equilibrium temperature.
Real materials emit energy at a fraction—called the emissivity—of black-body energy levels. By definition, a black body in thermal equilibrium has an emissivity ε = 1. A source with a lower emissivity, independent of frequency, is often referred to as a gray body. Constructing black bodies with an emissivity as close to 1 as possible remains a topic of current interest.
In astronomy, the radiation from stars and planets is sometimes characterized in terms of an effective temperature, the temperature of a black body that would emit the same total flux of electromagnetic energy.
--Wikipedia
Planck's Law describes the spectral density of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature T, when there is no net flow of matter or energy between the body and its environment.
At the end of the 19th century, physicists were unable to explain why the observed spectrum of black-body radiation, which by then had been accurately measured, diverged significantly at higher frequencies from that predicted by existing theories. In 1900, Max Planck heuristically derived a formula for the observed spectrum by assuming that a hypothetical electrically charged oscillator in a cavity that contained black-body radiation could only change its energy in a minimal increment, E, that was proportional to the frequency of its associated electromagnetic wave. This resolved the problem of the ultraviolet catastrophe predicted by classical physics. This discovery was a pioneering insight of modern physics and is of fundamental importance to quantum theory.
Planck's law accurately describes black-body radiation. The classical (black) curve diverges from observed intensity at high frequencies (short wavelengths). Every physical body spontaneously and continuously emits electromagnetic radiation and the spectral radiance of a body, B, describes the spectral emissive power per unit area, per unit solid angle for particular radiation frequencies. The relationship given by Planck's radiation law, shows that with increasing temperature, the total radiated energy of a body increases and the peak of the emitted spectrum shifts to shorter wavelengths.
--Wikipedia
Quantum Hypothesis Used for Blackbody Radiation Law
By the late 19th century, many physicists thought their discipline was well on the way to explaining most natural phenomena. They could calculate the motions of material objects using Newton’s laws of classical mechanics, and they could describe the properties of radiant energy using mathematical relationships known as Maxwell’s equations, developed in 1873 by James Clerk Maxwell, a Scottish physicist. The universe appeared to be a simple and orderly place, containing matter, which consisted of particles that had mass and whose location and motion could be accurately described, and electromagnetic radiation, which was viewed as having no mass and whose exact position in space could not be fixed. Thus matter and energy were considered distinct and unrelated phenomena. Soon, however, scientists began to look more closely at a few inconvenient phenomena that could not be explained by the theories available at the time.
One experimental phenomenon that could not be adequately explained by classical physics was blackbody radiation. Attempts to explain or calculate this spectral distribution from classical theory were complete failures. A theory developed by Rayleigh and Jeans predicted that the intensity should go to infinity at short wavelengths. Since the intensity actually drops to zero at short wavelengths, the Rayleigh-Jeans result was called the “ultraviolet catastrophe.” There was no agreement between theory and experiment in the ultraviolet region of the blackbody spectrum.
Quantizing Electrons in the Radiator
In 1900, the German physicist Max Planck (1858–1947) explained the ultraviolet catastrophe by proposing that the energy of electromagnetic waves is quantized rather than continuous. This means that for each temperature, there is a maximum intensity of radiation that is emitted in a blackbody object, corresponding to the peaks in Figure 1.2.1 , so the intensity does not follow a smooth curve as the temperature increases, as predicted by classical physics. Thus energy could be gained or lost only in integral multiples of some smallest unit of energy, a quantum (the smallest possible unit of energy). Energy can be gained or lost only in integral multiples of a quantum.
At relatively low temperatures, most radiation is emitted at wavelengths longer than 700 nm, which is in the infrared portion of the spectrum. As the temperature of the object increases, the maximum intensity shifts to shorter wavelengths, successively resulting in orange, yellow, and finally white light. At high temperatures, all wavelengths of visible light are emitted with approximately equal intensities. The white light spectrum shown for an object at 6000 K closely approximates the spectrum of light emitted by the sun. Note the sharp decrease in the intensity of radiation emitted at wavelengths below 400 nm, which constituted the ultraviolet catastrophe. The classical prediction fails to fit the experimental curves entirely and does not have a maximum intensity. (CC BY-SA-NC; anonymous by request).
Quantization
Although quantization may seem to be an unfamiliar concept, we encounter it frequently. For example, US money is integral multiples of pennies. Similarly, musical instruments like a piano or a trumpet can produce only certain musical notes, such as C or F sharp. Because these instruments cannot produce a continuous range of frequencies, their frequencies are quantized. Even electrical charge is quantized: an ion may have a charge of −1 or −2, but not −1.33 electron charges.
Planck's quantization of energy is described by his famous equation:
E=hν
Where the proportionality constant h is called Planck’s constant, one of the most accurately known fundamental constants in science:
h=6.626070040(81)×10−34J⋅s(1.2.2)
However, for our purposes, its value to four significant figures is sufficient:
h=6.626×10−34J⋅s(1.2.3)
As the frequency of electromagnetic radiation increases, the magnitude of the associated quantum of radiant energy increases. By assuming that energy can be emitted by an object only in integral multiples of hν, Planck devised an equation that fit the experimental data shown in Figure 1.2.2 . We can understand Planck’s explanation of the ultraviolet catastrophe qualitatively as follows: At low temperatures, radiation with only relatively low frequencies is emitted, corresponding to low-energy quanta. As the temperature of an object increases, there is an increased probability of emitting radiation with higher frequencies, corresponding to higher-energy quanta. At any temperature, however, it is simply more probable for an object to lose energy by emitting a large number of lower-energy quanta than a single very high-energy quantum that corresponds to ultraviolet radiation. The result is a maximum in the plot of intensity of emitted radiation versus wavelength, as shown in Figure 1.2.2 , and a shift in the position of the maximum to lower wavelength (higher frequency) with increasing temperature.
At the time he proposed his radical hypothesis, Planck could not explain why energies should be quantized. Initially, his hypothesis explained only one set of experimental data—blackbody radiation. If quantization were observed for a large number of different phenomena, then quantization would become a law. In time, a theory might be developed to explain that law. As things turned out, Planck’s hypothesis was the seed from which modern physics grew.
Max Planck explain the spectral distribution of blackbody radiation as result from oscillations of electrons. Similarly, oscillations of electrons in an antenna produce radio waves. Max Planck concentrated on modeling the oscillating charges that must exist in the oven walls, radiating heat inwards and—in thermodynamic equilibrium—themselves being driven by the radiation field. He found he could account for the observed curve if he required these oscillators not to radiate energy continuously, as the classical theory would demand, but they could only lose or gain energy in chunks, called quanta, of size “hν” , for an oscillator of frequency “ν”.
Max Planck said:
“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”
-- Max Planck
In other words, everything is consciousness. Everything is information, energy, and mind. And it all exits in an isotropically homogenous Monad…a Pantheistic “realm”. There is no creator, per se, only an impersonal “Source”, whatever that means.
Max Planck said:
“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”
-- Max Planck
The Planck Star (In Loop Quantum Gravity Theory, a Planck Star is a hypothetical astronomical object that is created when the energy density of a collapsing star reaches the Planck energy density. Under these conditions, assuming Gravity and spacetime are quantized, (at the Planck Scale) there arises a repulsive 'force' derived from Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The accumulation of mass-energy inside the Planck Star cannot collapse beyond this limit because it violates the uncertainty principle for spacetime itself. The entire idea of the Planck Star is built on a house of cards of speculation and hypothetical conjecture. Subsequently, even the idea of The Planck Star makes it too absurd to even mention outside of the domain of science fiction. It is, merely, more fantasy based upon the existence of equally fictional Black Holes.
Mumbo Jumbo Astrophysicists Duo, Carlo Rovelli and Francesca Vidotto, Propose Fictional Planck Star as Core of Black Holes
“In loop quantum gravity, A Planck Star is a HYPOTHETICAL astronomical object that is created when the energy density of a collapsing star reaches the Planck energy density.

Namely, if gravity and spacetime are quantized, the accumulation of mass-energy inside the Planck star cannot collapse beyond this limit because it violates the uncertainty principle for spacetime itself.” – Wikipedia
In Other Words: Science Fiction Rubbish
The real game in Modern Astrophysics is seeing how many science fiction, Quackedemic ideas and models you can generate in the smallest amount of peer review paper space. You are just supposed to submit to these egghead’s wild theorizing because they say they know more than you, which they do not, of course. All they know is how to play the “Quackedemia” game of peer-review and science fiction world building.
The big tip-offs to the bullshit science gambit are the use of the terms:
- Hypothetical
- Unproven
- Assumption
- Conjecture
- Assuming
- Theorized
- Postulated

- Thought to be...
- Some scientists claim...

Again, the fundamental hypothesis of the occult is that the Universe exhibits an isotropic and homogenous distribution of matter, resulting in a Pantheistic Monad of Space Time, with no reason for existing, nor any teleological destination other than what Mankind artificially superimposes upon it. It is the Great Ancient Occult Hope to create and direct the destiny of Mankind and The Universe, in tandem, using technology and Alchemical science. The Occult desire to re-design The Universe to reflect their values and machinations. In order to achieve this, they need to first destroy the old Universe by pushing it into quantum chaos and destruction.
Occultism often finds it chief Hermetic tenets taught in the ancient mystical tradition of The Kabbalah, which teaches that the Universe is God, that they are one and the same thing, and has been bouncing forever, with no beginning. Likewise, certain fringe religious zealots in Modern Physics believe in a Universe that has been “bouncing” forever.
This religious belief is called. “The Big Bounce Theory”.
Hence, both Occultism and Modern Cosmological Models begin to converge and reveal themselves as one and the same model. Upon deeper scrutiny, we discover that this uncanny and rather suspicious similarity is not by accident or coincidence. On the contrary, it was actually occult mysticism that Eastern European physicists like Max Planck, Neils Bohr, and Edwin Schrodinger repackaged as quantum mysticism, long ago. In other words, Modern Cosmology , and particularly Theoretical Quantum Physics, is literally ancient occultism resurrected and rebranded with modern scientific nomenclature.
“Quantum mysticism is a set of metaphysical beliefs and associated practices that seek to relate consciousness, intelligence, spirituality, or mystical world-views to the ideas of quantum mechanics and its interpretations. Quantum mysticism is considered by most scientists and philosophers to be pseudoscience or quackery.”
—Wikipedia
The stage is being set. The idea is to develop a scientific framework that is identical with ancient Mystery Babylon Luciferian Occultism. They wrap it in shiny technical, scientific terminology so you think it is science but it is not.
It is Scientism.
They teach that everything is energy and information, and that reality is malleable…you can create reality with your mind. There are not Absolutes.
“It’s all relative”, as they say…
That is the Mantra they teach us.
They sell theoretical assumptions like they are facts…like “The Planck Scale”, for instance:
The Planck Scale
The Planck scale sets the universe’s minimum limit, beyond which the laws of physics break. In the late 1890s, physicist Max Planck proposed a set of units to simplify the expression of physics laws. Using just five constants in nature (including the speed of light and the gravitational constant), you, me and even aliens from Alpha Centauri could arrive at these same Planck units.
The basic Planck units are length, mass, temperature, time and charge.
Let’s consider the unit of Planck length for a moment. The proton is about 100 million trillion times larger than the Planck length. To put this into perspective, if we scaled the proton up to the size of the observable universe, the Planck length would be a mere trip from Tokyo to Chicago. The 14-hour flight may seem long to you, but to the universe, it would go completely unnoticed.
The Planck scale was invented as a set of universal units, so it was a shock when those limits also turned out to be the limits where the known laws of physics applied. For example, a distance smaller than the Planck length just doesn’t make sense—the physics breaks down.
Physicists don’t know what actually goes on at the Planck scale, but they can speculate. Some theoretical particle physicists predict all four fundamental forces—gravity, the weak force, electromagnetism and the strong force—finally merge into one force at this energy. Quantum gravity and superstrings are also possible phenomena that might dominate at the Planck energy scale.
The Planck scale is the universal limit, beyond which the currently known laws of physics break. In order to comprehend anything beyond it, we need new, unbreakable physics.”
Did you catch that? “The proton is about 100 million trillion times larger than the Planck length.”
In other words…mathematical mumbo jumbo…
It is just more speculative, incomprehensible, mystical, mumbo jumbo mathematically enshrouded, Kabbalistic occultism.
The bigger the numbers, or in Planck’s case, the smaller the space, the less you will question them because it is beyond your pay grade to even begin to question, right?
At this point, they can say anything and people will just bend over and believe it.
Then they will say, “You do not understand the math, so you are an idiot.”
Then you ask them, “Do you understand the math?”
And they say. “NO, but some super smart scientist does…somewhere. So, it must be true.”
That is there argument:
“It must be true because some self-professes genius somewhere says so.”
See the problem?
The only people saying these Quantum mystical, mathematical truths are indeed true are the Inner Sanctum Quantum Club who preach to you, so you’ll be a believer, too!
- Quantum Physics is merely New Age Occultism.
- Quantum Science, itself, is now The New Mystery Babylon Occult Religion.
- Mystery Babylon has been brought back in the form of Quantum Mysticism.
It is no surprise that when you look into the background of these pioneering Quantum Physicists, as well as other scientists and New Age science gurus, you see a peculiar array of occult influences and connections.
The following have occult influence and teachings:
- Sir Isaac Newton
- Johannes Kepler
- Galileo Galilei
- Nicolaus Copernicus
- Carl Linnaeus
- William Crookes
- Alfred Russell Wallace
- Ross A. Slotten
- Oliver Lodge
- Jack Parsons
- Carl Gustav Jung
- Charles Richet
- Pierre And Marie Curie
- Camille Flammarion
- The Wolfgang Pauli
- Neils Bohr
- Max Planck
- Fritjof Capra
- Deepak Chopra
- Gary Zukav
- Fred Alan Wolf
- David Bohm
That is a lot of occultism in science and physics!
How come we are not hearing about this when Atheist Scientists brag about how they are so anti-supernatural, and all materialistic? We just never hear about the true origins of the big gun scientist’s theories, do we?
Sir Issac Newton, himself, was a straight up, Alchemical Witch, when you look closely. He was a pure Luciferian Alchemist, steeped in ancient Hermeticism and Kabbalistic occult teachings.
And they often they say mystical things and call it physics:
“A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”
--Albert Einstein, 1954

And it just never ends…
Giulio Prisco, writer, futurist, and sometimes philosopher, said on Mar 7, 2017 his article, “Quantum Consciousness, Quantum Mysticism, and Transhumanist Engineering”:
”Back to Hameroff’s “Ultimate Computing,” this is not (only) mysticism but (also) future technology. “Nanotechnology may enable the dream of Mind/Tech merger to materialize,” says Hameroff in the optimistic Extropian language of the 80s and 90s. “Symbiotic association of replicative nano devices and cytoskeletal networks within living cells could [lead] to exchange of information encoded in the collective dynamic patterns of cytoskeletal subunit states. If these are indeed the roots of consciousness, a science fiction-like deciphering and transfer of mind content may become possible……even that, understanding the quantum physics of consciousness could permit making contact with, influencing, and ultimately merging with the intelligence of the cosmos. Quantum “mysticism” could then become practical Transhumanist engineering, able to reach beyond our wildest dreams.”
-- Giulio Prisco, Mar 7, 2017, “Quantum Consciousness, Quantum Mysticism, and Transhumanist Engineering”
Take aways:
1) “If these are indeed the roots of consciousness, a science fiction-like deciphering and transfer of mind content may become possible…” This is more of the Luciferian Virtual Reality game, where consciousness is fluid and realities are subjectively created…by elite controllers, no doubt.
2) “Quantum “mysticism” could then become practical Transhumanist engineering”. This is the ultimate goal of all this…Transhumanistic Occultism.
3) Quantum Mysticism is the vehicle in which The Luciferian Occult, High Masters will indoctrinate the masses into their New Age, Luciferian Mystery Teachings.
The Endgame is your complete submission into their Digital Techno Mystical Satanism, where they control absolutely every thought you have through a Quantum A.I. Technocracy so all pervasive and absolute, that there will be no hope of escape.
Quantum Physics is The Religion of Scientism, Which is Occult Pantheism
Quantum Physics became the built-in backdoor from whence ancient occultisms could progress forwards, unchecked, unqualified, and unabated. Quantum Physics is nothing but repackaged Pantheistic mystical occultism, when you look at it closely.
Quantum Physics is a religion. It is the religion of Scientism, which is Occult Pantheism, Kabbalah, and mystical Hermeticism. Eastern European physicists like Max Planck, Neils Bohr, and Edwin Schrodinger repackaged Eastern Kabbalistic Pantheism as quantum mysticism, long ago, and sold it as quantum physics and yes, their religious beliefs had everything to do with the occult mysticism, which they spread in the West. Their Kabbalistic beliefs became the cornerstone of The New Age Religion which teaches that Time is some kind of mystical power that loops forever in a multiverse, and each person is simply a form of consciousness that literally participates in the creation of reality.
In their quantum model, you are an expression of the universal Pantheistic isotropic Cosmic Consciousness instead of a Creation of a Transcendental Lord. You are but mere information and energy, and easily reduced to thermodynamic reactions and information flux in their occult quantum model. In their model, you are an expression of the one Cosmic Mind, a Cosmic Creation that created itself from a Big Bang, with no accountability to an external Transcendental Lord, and therefore, not bound by any absolute Christian morality, as well.
Then they created mystical nonsensical mathematics, based upon ancient Alchemical equations and incantations from ancient Kabbalistic masters to help foster the belief structure that the universe has always been in existence as consciousness of some sort, as a quantum information and energy machine of emergent conditions and probabilistic quantum initial states. Quantum Physics is nothing but repackaged, Pantheistic Kabbalism, which has been the cornerstone of The Luciferian Mystery Schools for eons.
Anyone who knows mathematics knows you can create any mathematical models you want to explain any science fiction theory you desire. If you run into a problem, simply insert imaginary numbers, add another dimension to your Superstring model, or renormalize your equations at the quantum gravity/electron repulsion level of a mythical singularity. Renormalization is a collection of techniques in quantum field theory, the statistical mechanics of fields, and the theory of self-similar geometric structures, that are used to treat infinities arising in calculated quantities by altering values of these quantities to compensate for effects of their self-interactions. But even if no infinities arose in loop diagrams in quantum field theory, it could be shown that it would be necessary to renormalize the mass and fields appearing in the original Lagrangian. Or, you can manipulate your Dirac equations in order to reconcile electromagnetic interactions, remembering that by applying the Lorentz covariance of the Dirac equation, you change the geometric tessellation and character of the initial quantum observation and process…etc…etc… etc…Got that?
You just keep playing math games until you have your theatrical model.
That’s Alchemical mysticism, and that is modern quantum physics, as well. They are one and the same, and it is no coincidence since they both come from the exact same Pantheistic Occult Hermeticism.
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, infrared and radio waves that radiate from stars and other celestial objects. A stellar spectrum can reveal many properties of stars, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance and luminosity. Spectroscopy can show the velocity of motion towards or away from the observer by measuring the Doppler shift. Spectroscopy is also used to study the physical properties of many other types of celestial objects such as planets, nebulae, galaxies, and active galactic nuclei.
Stars and Their Properties
Newton used a prism to split white light into a spectrum of color, and Fraunhofer's high-quality prisms allowed scientists to see dark lines of an unknown origin. In the 1850s, Gustav Kirchhoff and Robert Bunsen described the phenomena behind these dark lines. Hot solid objects produce light with a continuous spectrum, hot gases emit light at specific wavelengths, and hot solid objects surrounded by cooler gases show a near-continuous spectrum with dark lines corresponding to the emission lines of the gases. By comparing the absorption lines of the Sun with emission spectra of known gases, the chemical composition of stars can be determined.
The major Fraunhofer lines, and the elements with which they are associated, appear in the following table. Designations from the early Balmer Series are shown in parentheses:
|
|
Galaxies
The spectra of galaxies look similar to stellar spectra, as they consist of the combined light of billions of stars.
Doppler shift studies of galaxy clusters by Fritz Zwicky in 1937 found that the galaxies in a cluster were moving much faster than seemed to be possible from the mass of the cluster inferred from the visible light. Zwicky hypothesized that there must be a great deal of non-luminous matter in the galaxy clusters, which became known as dark matter. Since his discovery, astronomers have determined that a large portion of galaxies (and most of the universe) is made up of dark matter. In 2003, however, four galaxies (NGC 821, NGC 3379, NGC 4494, and NGC 4697) were found to have little to no dark matter influencing the motion of the stars contained within them; the reason behind the lack of dark matter is unknown.
In the 1950s, strong radio sources were found to be associated with very dim, very red objects. When the first spectrum of one of these objects was taken there were absorption lines at wavelengths where none were expected. It was soon realized that what was observed was a normal galactic spectrum, but highly red shifted. These were named quasi-stellar radio sources, or quasars, by Hong-Yee Chiu in 1964. Quasars are now thought to be galaxies formed in the early years of our universe, with their extreme energy output powered by super-massive black holes.
The properties of a galaxy can also be determined by analyzing the stars found within them. NGC 4550, a galaxy in the Virgo Cluster, has a large portion of its stars rotating in the opposite direction as the other portion. It is believed that the galaxy is the combination of two smaller galaxies that were rotating in opposite directions to each other. Bright stars in galaxies can also help determine the distance to a galaxy, which may be a more accurate method than parallax or standard candles.
Interstellar medium
The interstellar medium is matter that occupies the space between star systems in a galaxy. 99% of this matter is gaseous - hydrogen, helium, and smaller quantities of other ionized elements such as oxygen. The other 1% is dust particles, thought to be mainly graphite, silicates, and ices. Clouds of the dust and gas are referred to as nebulae.
There are three main types of nebula: absorption, reflection, and emission nebulae. Absorption (or dark) nebulae are made of dust and gas in such quantities that they obscure the starlight behind them, making photometry difficult. Reflection nebulae, as their name suggest, reflect the light of nearby stars. Their spectra are the same as the stars surrounding them, though the light is bluer; shorter wavelengths scatter better than longer wavelengths. Emission nebulae emit light at specific wavelengths depending on their chemical composition.
An Alternate View to Astronomical Spectroscopy: Sonoluminescence and Stars
Sonoluminescence is an example of cavitation, which is the more general phenomenon describing the bubble formation and motion in a sound field. Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon that occurs when a small gas bubble is acoustically suspended and periodically driven in a liquid solution at ultrasonic frequencies, resulting in bubble collapse, cavitation, and light emission.
Sonoluminescence can occur when a sound wave of sufficient intensity induces a gaseous cavity within a liquid to collapse quickly. This cavity may take the form of a pre-existing bubble or may be generated through a process known as cavitation. Sonoluminescence in the laboratory can be made to be stable, so that a single bubble will expand and collapse over and over again in a periodic fashion, emitting a burst of light each time it collapses. For this to occur, a standing acoustic wave is set up within a liquid, and the bubble will sit at a pressure anti-node of the standing wave. The frequencies of resonance depend on the shape and size of the container in which the bubble is contained.
Cavitation is a phenomenon in which rapid changes of pressure in a liquid lead to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities, in places where the pressure is relatively low.
When subjected to higher pressure, these cavities, called "bubbles" or "voids", collapse and can generate an intense shock wave.
Some of the developed theories about the mechanism of Sonoluminescence result in prognoses for the peak temperature from 6000 K to 20,000 K or 35,540.33 Fahrenheit.
Nobody has been able to measure the temperature inside a single collapsing bubble before. Lab results suggest that the bubbles reached more than 25,000°C which is four times hotter than the surface of the Sun.
Temperature of the Constellation, Libra?
Libra is a constellation, a specific part of the celestial sphere. The Stars that can be found within its boundaries range anything between 3000K and 20, 000 K or 35540.33 Fahrenheit. –Wikipedia
Temperature of the Surface of the Sun?
The temperature at the surface of the Sun is about 5,600 Celsius.
Possible Mechanism Behind Sonoluminescence
Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon that occurs when a small gas bubble is acoustically suspended and periodically driven in a liquid solution at ultrasonic frequencies, resulting in bubble collapse, cavitation, and light emission. The thermal energy that is released from the bubble collapse is so great that it can cause weak light emission. The mechanism of the light emission remains uncertain, but some of the current theories, which are categorized under either thermal or electrical processes, are:
Bremsstrahlung, from bremsen "to brake" and Strahlung "radiation"; i.e., "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation", is electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic Radiation: nucleus.
Collision-Induced Radiation and Corona Discharges
A corona discharge is an electrical discharge brought on by the ionization of a fluid such as air surrounding a conductor that is electrically charged. Spontaneous corona discharges occur naturally in high-voltage systems unless care is taken to limit the electric field strength.
An unusually exotic hypothesis of sonoluminescence, which has received much popular attention, is the Casimir energy hypothesis suggested by noted physicist Julian Schwinger and more thoroughly considered in a paper by Claudia Eberlein of the University of Sussex. Eberlein's paper suggests that the light in sonoluminescence is generated by the vacuum within the bubble in a process similar to Hawking radiation, the radiation generated at the event horizon of black holes. According to this vacuum energy explanation, since quantum theory holds that vacuum contains virtual particles, the rapidly moving interface between water and gas converts virtual photons into real photons. This is related to the Unruh effect or the Casimir effect. The argument has been made that sonoluminescence releases too large an amount of energy and releases the energy on too short a time scale to be consistent with the vacuum energy explanation, although other credible sources argue the vacuum energy explanation might yet prove to be correct.
Nonclassical light is light that cannot be described using classical electromagnetism; its characteristics are described by the quantized electromagnetic field and quantum mechanics.
Most common described forms of nonclassical light are the following:
Squeezed light exhibits reduced noise in one quadrature component. The most familiar kinds of squeezed light have either reduced amplitude noise or reduced phase noise, with increased noise of the other component.
Fock states (also called photon number states) have a well-defined number of photons (stored e.g. in a cavity), while the phase is totally undefined.
Quantum tunneling or tunneling (see spelling differences) is the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a subatomic particle passes through a potential barrier. Quantum tunneling is not predicted by the laws of classical mechanics where surmounting a potential barrier requires enough potential energy. Quantum tunneling plays an essential role in several physical phenomena, such as the nuclear fusion that occurs in main sequence Stars like the Sun.
Argon Rectification Hypothesis
An air bubble undergoing single-bubble sonoluminescence in water transitions to an argon bubble.
Electrical discharges which are a consequence of the presence of a plasma at the site of the discharge. electrodynamic explosions in liquids.
Triboluminescence or Fractoluminescent Jets
Triboluminescence is an optical phenomenon in which light is generated through the breaking of chemical bonds in a material when it is pulled apart, ripped, scratched, crushed, or rubbed (see tribology). The phenomenon is not fully understood but appears to be caused by the separation and reunification of electrical charges. The term comes from the Greek ("to rub") and the Latin lumen (light).
Some have argued that the Rayleigh–Plesset equation described above is unreliable for predicting bubble temperatures and that actual temperatures in Sonoluminescing systems can be far higher than 20,000 kelvins. Some research claims to have measured temperatures as high as 100,000 Kelvins and speculates temperatures could reach into the millions of kelvins. Temperatures this high could cause thermonuclear fusion. This possibility is sometimes referred to as bubble fusion and is likened to the implosion design used in the fusion component of thermonuclear weapons. On January 27, 2006, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute claimed to have produced fusion in sonoluminescence experiments. Experiments in 2002 and 2005 by R. P. Taleyarkhan using deuterated acetone showed measurements of tritium and neutron output consistent with fusion. --Wikipedia
Single Bubble Sonoluminescence (SBSL)
SBSL emits more light than MBSL due to fewer interactions between neighboring bubbles. Another advantage for SBSL is that a single bubble collapses without being affected by other surrounding bubbles, allowing more accurate studies on acoustic cavitation and sonoluminescence theories.[4] Some exotic theories have been made, for example from Schwinger in 1992 who hinted the dynamical Casimir effect as a potential photon-emission process. Several theories say that the location of light emission is in the liquid instead of inside the bubble. Other SBSL theories explain that the emission of photons due to the high temperatures in the bubble are analogical to the hot spot theories of MBSL. Regarding the thermal emission a large variety of different processes are prevalent. Because temperatures are increasing from several hundred to many thousand Kelvin during collapse, the processes can be molecular recombination, collision-induced emission, molecular emission, excimers, atomic recombination, radiative attachments of ions, neutral and ion Bremsstrahlung, or emission from confined electrons in voids. Which of these theories applies depends on accurate measurements and calculations of the temperature inside the bubble.
Multi-Bubble Sonoluminescence (MBSL)
Unlike single bubble sonoluminescence, multi-bubble sonoluminescence is the creation of many oscillating and collapsing bubbles. Typically, in MBSL, the light emission from each individual bubble is weaker than in SBSL because the neighboring bubbles can interact and affect each other. Because each neighboring bubble can interact with each other, it can make it more difficult to produce accurate studies and to characterize the properties of the collapsing bubble.
Gas Color Emission Varieties of Sonoluminescence
Each gas, depending on its atomic structure emits certain wavelengths, its emission spectrum, which determines the color of the light from the emission. Stars may be understood as varying types of gases trapped within the rotating Constellations and activated and fixated in position and intensity via Ultra Acoustic resonance.

Example Star Colors and Corresponding Approximate Temperatures
As we learned in The Electromagnetic Spectrum section, Wien’s law relates stellar color to stellar temperature. Blue colors dominate the visible light output of very hot stars (with much additional radiation in the ultraviolet). On the other hand, cool stars emit most of their visible light energy at red wavelengths (with more radiation coming off in the infrared). The color of a star therefore provides a measure of its intrinsic or true surface temperature (apart from the effects of reddening by interstellar dust, which will be discussed in Between the Stars: Gas and Dust in Space). Color does not depend on the distance to the object. This should be familiar to you from everyday experience. The color of a traffic signal, for example, appears the same no matter how far away it is. If we could somehow take a star, observe it, and then move it much farther away, its apparent brightness (magnitude) would change. But this change in brightness is the same for all wavelengths, and so its color would remain the same.
Stars have different colors, which are indicators of temperature. The hottest stars tend to appear blue or blue-white, whereas the coolest stars are red. A color index of a star is the difference in the magnitudes measured at any two wavelengths and is one way that astronomers measure and express the temperature of stars.

Etheric Vibratory Scale: Celestial Bodies Vibrate as Specific Notes Through Sonoluminescence
This following table shows examples of the elements as atoms which are all on the atomic subdivision. The elements of Aether would be at the top of this table and are of the Aetheric subdivision. When reading frequencies on this chart do not forget frequencies of vibration / oscillation and rotation / revolution always maintain Reciprocating Proportionality, which means there is no one single frequency to any atom as an atom's motions are complex, being composed of several simultaneous and rhythmic motions. Therefore, an atom's frequencies considered together constitute a "chord" or "signature" of its mass.
There are eighteen attributes or dimensions for additional parameters of rhythmic motion. There is more to vibration than frequency and amplitude. The distribution of Noble gases, inert gases, and elements in the night sky are multitudinous. Sonoluminescence reveals how vibration causes these elements to radiate as shape and color.

Tiny Bubbles Implode with the Heat of a Star
When the force of sound waves implode tiny bubbles within a liquid at room temperature, the surface of the bubble can reach temperatures at least 25,000 degrees Fahrenheit, more than twice as hot as the surface of the sun, scientists reported this month.
The center of such a bubble may be even more astonishingly hot.
The scientists, at the University of Illinois, did not speculate just how hot the bubble became, but said they had managed to create a state of matter called plasma inside the bubble. In it, some of the electrons have been stripped off the atoms.
"This is the first definitive proof of the existence of a plasma" during this kind of bubble implosion, said one of the scientists, Dr. Kenneth S. Suslick, a professor of chemistry at Illinois.
Their finding supports the intriguing notion that it may be possible to compress these bubbles so violently that vapor molecules in them are heated to multimillion-degree temperatures.
We’ll bring you stories that capture the wonders of the human body, nature and the cosmos.
The phenomenon of imploding bubbles, called sonoluminescence because it emits a flash of light as the bubble collapses, has been increasingly studied since it was discovered 15 years ago.
In 2002, scientists performing an experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee even reported that they had used the technique to fuse hydrogen atoms into helium -- the process that powers the sun. That experiment did not measure the bubble temperatures but detected byproducts of fusion.

Thunderbolts – Turning Sound into Light
What if sound didn’t only flow through matter but could produce unexpected phenomena like light? Research in sound has revealed the capacity of sound to influence matter in a way that produces light. The phenomenon of sonoluminescence (SL) is one example of this relationship.
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” ― Nikola Tesla
Sonoluminescence occurs when high-frequency sound vibrates tiny gas bubbles to reach star-like temperatures and emit flashes of light. The mechanism of sonoluminescence is not fully understood but its occurrence is well documented. As SL researchers probe deeper into the phenomenon, they have found that current fluid dynamic equations cannot explain why it happens. SL is a natural phenomenon as well, and marine biologists observe some species of shrimp using it as an attack against other creatures. It is the bridge between sound and light and can offer a deeper understanding of nature’s laws.
Sonoluminescence
In a study at UCLA called Sonoluminescence: How Bubbles Turn Sound into Light, scientists S.J. Putterman and K.R. Weninger explore the mathematics and phenomenology of sonoluminescence. It is known that this phenomenon is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of a bubble. This is known because the broad-band UV light emitted appears at a frequency, though not continuously. Think of a strobe light as an analogy where flashes of light last only pico-seconds (trillionths of a second.) According to Prof. Putterman, the phenomenon of sonoluminescence can heat bubbles up to tens of thousands of degrees. The surface of these bubbles burns at about 20,000 K (~35,000 °F) and look like “little stars.”
“Sonoluminescence, the transduction of sound into light, is a phenomenon that pushes fluid mechanics beyond its limit.” --Drs. S. J. Putterman and K. R. Weninger
UCLA Physics Department
Sonoluminescence can be repeatedly produced in a controlled laboratory environment. Some of the key requirements are degassed water, a noble-gas mixture bubble, and a source of a high-frequency sound. Typically, the sound is produced by a piezo-electric element. The scale of the experiment is typically small. Only about a cup-full of water is necessary, and the size of the bubble is typically only microns in size.
Sonoluminescence is in action below. It should be obvious why the phenomenon has gotten the nickname of “star in a jar.” The small cavitating bubble takes on the appearance of a small star.
Sonoluminescence. In the center of the glass, a small blueish glowing bubble is visible. The frequency is about 25.7 kHz. The solution inside the glassware is partially degassed demi-water below room temperature. The glassware is handblown for an optimal spherical shape. This photo is taken in a darkened room with a camera exposure time of four seconds. Piezoelectric elements are glued to the glass with epoxy glue and the laboratory stand clamp has a cork lining inside.
Fluid Dynamics
Conventional fluid dynamic equations do not account for sonoluminescence entirely. Specifically, some researchers have applied Rayleigh’s equations to the bubble collapse but this “violates it’s domain of applicability” according to Putterman and Weninger. This violation occurs because Rayleigh’s equation is only for low Mach number motion, and the bubble collapse occurs at high Mach number. Putterman and Weninger also suggest that researchers misapply Saha’s equation and Bremsstrahlung equations to this phenomena. Without getting too deep into the details of these equations, Saha’s equation typically describes an ionization state of a gas relative to its temperature and pressure. Similarly, Bremsstrahlung equations typically describe electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle. At present, these equations do not adequately explain sonoluminescence for a variety of reasons.
Plasma Core?
Plasma is the fourth state of matter, commonly generated during lightning strikes. Research shows the inner core of sonoluminescent bubbles could be plasma.
Some researchers believe that during sonoluminescence, bubbles have an inner core of plasma. In a study published in peer-reviewed Journal Nature, entitled “Plasma formation and temperature measurement during single-bubble cavitation,” researchers state that “emitting species must originate from collisions with high-energy electrons, ions, or particles from a hot plasma core.” Other research supports the hypothesis that SL bubbles have a hot plasma core.
According to another recent publication called “Evidence for a Plasma Core during Multi-bubble Sonoluminescence in Sulfuric Acid”: “. . . the observation of molecular and atomic ions is the first experimental demonstration of an inner ionized plasma core during single-bubble cavitation.” Thus, current research suggests that the core of the SL bubbles may be plasma, the fourth fundamental state of matter. Perhaps this is the reason why fluid dynamic equations do not match the phenomenon.
Other Known Qualities of Sonoluminescent Bubbles
Researchers discovered that during sonoluminescence, a bubble rapidly expands then contracts in cavitation. Looking deeper into this, researchers have found that the bubble does operate within some conventional chemical laws. One of these is the fact that, as the bubble collapses, it rebounds because of Van Der Waals forces.
The accompanying graph depicts the collapse of a cavitating bubble over time. Notice that the bubble has a peak radius of about 5.3 micrometers. The bubble then rapidly collapses in about 20 nanoseconds. As the bubble “bottoms out” (approaches the van der Waals radius, rw ), it springs back and oscillates through several cycles of expansion and contraction.
Noble Gases
Sonoluminescence appears to emit the most light with noble gases or noble gas mixtures. This is probably because of the inherent non-reactivity of the noble gas chemical group. Researchers use helium, neon, argon, and xenon to create SL. Star-in-a-jar researchers use oxygen and nitrogen mixed with a noble gas to create sonoluminescence in a laboratory. According to Putterman and Weninger, SL with only oxygen and nitrogen is difficult. A nitrogen and oxygen mixture produce a “dim light.” The article also states that noble gases concentrate in the bubble as cavitation occurs. This happens because the force of the bubble collapse causes reactive elements (H2O, N2, O2) to dissociate. Then, the surrounding water draws these gases into it.
Shrimpoluminescence
An incredible example of sonoluminescence is the “stun” action of both the pistol and mantis shrimp. These predatory shrimp knock-out their prey by “loading” their claws with tension and releasing it suddenly. The shrimp clamps its claws shut at such an extreme velocity that the surrounding water vaporizes. As in the laboratory form of SL, this extreme cavitation produces the same light and extreme surface temperatures [3]. However, this light is not visible to the naked eye as in the laboratory experiment. The video below depicts this amazing process. Researchers Detlef Lohse, Barbara Schmitz, and Michel Versluis have named this “shrimpoluminescence.” An article published in Nature regarding the topic called “Snapping Shrimp Make Flashing Bubbles” states plainly that SL occurs at the snap.
A Bridge Between Sound and Light
It is not obvious why a bubble created by high-frequency sound contained in nothing more than a glass of water could reach temperatures close to the surface of the sun. Not surprisingly, researchers first looked at fluid dynamics to reach an explanation for sonoluminescence but found it lacking. Could plasma physics be the road by which an explanation will arrive? Would the Electric Universe model explain what is happening? As more research unfolds, a deeper understanding of the nature of this bridge between sound and light could lead both to greater scientific understanding and practical applications.

Star in a Jar: A New Model for Single-Bubble Sonoluminescence
Sonoluminescence (SL) is a mysterious process in which sound waves aimed at a container of water nucleate, grow, and collapse many gas-filled bubbles to create ultrashort light flashes representing a trillionfold focusing of the initial sound energy. SL was discovered in 1933, but the phenomenon could not be studied in detail until 1990, when Felipe Gaitan [1] at the National Center for Physical Acoustics in Mississippi successfully obtained SL from a single air bubble. We have developed a new theoretical model for single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) that for the first time is consistent with experimental results and makes predictions about the sensitivity of SBSL to various parameters. For example, this model provides an explanation for the ultrashort light flashes, predicts that the duration and spectrum of the light flashes may be very sensitive to the maximum radius of the bubble, and supports a theoretical prediction by Lohse that the gas inside a sonoluminescing air bubble may be comprised solely of argon.
Picoseconds (ps)
In single bubble sonoluminescence, sound waves levitate and trap a single micron-sized gas-filled bubble while forcing it to undergo SL repetitively. A bubble of air undergoing SL appears electric blue in color to the naked eye. Using Gaitan's methods, experimental measurements at UCLA [3] showed that single-bubble sonoluminescence from an air bubble produces light flashes that are synchronized with the periodically expanding and compressing sound field. In addition, each flash had a measured duration of less than 50 trillionths of a second, or 50 picoseconds (ps). In addition, the light flashes produce a spectrum of colors consistent with the idea that the sonoluminescing bubble has a temperature of at least 23000 Kelvins.
These results created a scientific stampede in which experimentalists obtained more data and theorists tried to explain the data, especially the mechanisms underlying the ultrashort flashes and high temperatures of the bubble. Scientists proposed exotic mechanisms such as quantum vacuum fluctuations, fractoluminescence, and charged liquid jet collisions. Nevertheless, what remains perhaps the most popular hypothesis for sonoluminescence was first made back in 1960 by Peter Jarman of Imperial College in London. Jarman proposed that the collapsing bubble generates an imploding shock wave that compresses and heats the gas in the bubble.
Although previous theoretical work by us and others suggested that Jarman's explanation may be valid, no theoretical model of SBSL prior to our current work has explained enough of the experimental SBSL data in sufficient detail to establish any model's credibility, nor has any model made predictions that can be tested.
Our model has two basic assumptions. The first assumption is that as the bubble collapses, the gas inside is compressed and heated. This is analogous to the heat that is generated in the housing of a foot pump when it is used to fill a tire. The second assumption is that the hot gas emits light.
We performed fluid dynamics simulations of the growth and collapse of a gas-filled bubble and the liquid surrounding it. We used the computer "code" LASNEX, which contains all of the physics in our model. LASNEX is also the same code used for calculations of a form of thermonuclear fusion known as inertial confinement fusion, in which lasers compress a pellet to such high temperatures and densities that fusion reactions occur between atoms in the pellet.
Our calculations show that during the collapse of the bubble, a shock wave is generated that compresses and heats the contents of the bubble. More heating occurs at the center of the bubble than at its boundary because the shock wave's strength increases as it approaches the bubble's center. In the hotter regions, the atoms and/or molecules which make up the gas trapped inside the bubble begin to break down or "ionize" into negatively charged electrons and positively charged ions. What results is a "plasma," or collection of charged particles that is partially ionized (approximately only 1 free electron per ion). The hot gas emits light by a rapid (on the order of quadrillionths of a second) cascade of energy from the ions in the plasma, to the electrons, to the photons that make up the light pulses.
The final 50 ps of the calculated collapse of an argon bubble. The bubble radius (outermost curve), shock wave location (inner curve), and emitting regions [optically thin (shaded), and optically thick (solid)] are shown. P is the relative emitted power (energy per unit time) of light in the visible part of the spectrum.
Our calculated results for a collapsing argon bubble. Five snapshots of the final 50 ps of the collapse are shown, during which the radius of the bubble decreases from 0.45 to 0.43 microns. Time is referenced to the instant when the shock wave reaches the center of the bubble.
At 10 psi, the shock wave (solid curve) is near the center of the bubble and light begins to be emitted (lightly shaded region) just behind the shock wave. At 0 psi, the shock reaches the center of the bubble. At this point, the power (energy per unit time) that is emitted in the visible spectrum is one-half its eventual peak value.
The emitting regions of the bubble are very much like those in a miniature star: Visible light from the sun appears yellow, which is indicative of a temperature of approximately 6000K. However, the center of the sun is much hotter, nearly 107 K.
This temperature can't be "seen," because the light that is emitted from the deeper regions is absorbed before it reaches the surface. This deeper absorbing region is described as being "optically thick." The solid black region in the figure shows where the bubble is optically thick. Only the light emission from the "halo" (lightly shaded region) and from the surface of the optically thick region can be seen. At 15 ps, the shock has reflected from the center of the bubble and is moving outward, but the gas outside the shock is still moving towards that bubble's center, compressing, and heating. Consequently, the emitting halo is slightly larger and the emitted visible optical power is at its peak value.
At 25 ps, the light emitting halo is even larger, but the bubble has cooled, so that the emitted visible optical power has decreased to one-half its peak value. At 40 ps, the bubble is too cool to emit light. The bubble temperature decreases for two reasons. First, the gas behind the outgoing shock wave expands and cools. Second, electrons carry away some of the heat that was created during the compression of the bubble. By comparing the times at which one-half peak power occurs, a 25 ps pulse width can be deduced from the figure, which is consistent with the experimentally measured value.
Our model agrees with many experimental results: (i) the durations of the light flashes and the spectra that they produce are very sensitive to the maximum bubble radius; (ii) the spectrum of the emitted light is described by the radiative properties of the hot gas, especially the radiation from decelerating electrons; (iii) the intensity of the emitted light from nitrogen SBSL is approximately 1/25 of that from air SBSL; and (iv) the spectrum of argon SBSL is nearly identical to the measured spectrum of air SBSL, which suggests that a sonoluminescing air bubble is actually an argon bubble undergoing SL, and may also explain why SBSL in noble gases (such as argon) is more intense than in diatomic gases (such as the nitrogen or oxygen that exists in our atmosphere). Our model suggests that the mechanisms that are responsible for the ultrashort (picosecond) duration of SBSL are the electrons rapidly carrying away the energy from the bubble and the very strong temperature dependence of the emission properties of the compressed gas. Our model predicts that after the main flash there cannot be an "afterglow" emitted by the expanding hot bubble.
The physics of matter under SL conditions is not yet understood completely. Our results suggest that our basic theoretical and computational strategy is valid, and that semiquantitative predictions are possible. For example, if the collapse of the bubble can be enhanced, thereby raising the bubble temperature even higher, then it may be possible to obtain a small amount of thermonuclear fusion from a micron-sized sonoluminescing bubble filled with heavy isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium or tritium). Although it remains to be confirmed experimentally that shock waves or plasmas are present in a bubble undergoing SL, no other model of which we are aware has been able to explain such a broad array of experimental data.

In chemistry, the study of sonochemistry is concerned with understanding the effect of ultrasound in forming acoustic cavitation in liquids, resulting in the initiation or enhancement of the chemical activity in the solution. Therefore, the chemical effects of ultrasound do not come from a direct interaction of the ultrasonic sound wave with the molecules in the solution.
History
The influence of sonic waves traveling through liquids was first reported by Robert Williams Wood (1868–1955) and Alfred Lee Loomis (1887–1975) in 1927. The experiment was about the frequency of the energy that it took for sonic waves to "penetrate" the barrier of water. He came to the conclusion that sound does travel faster in water, but because of the water's density compared to our Earth 's atmosphere it was incredibly hard to get the sonic waves into the water. After lots of research they decided that the best way to disperse sound into the water was to make loud noises into the water by creating bubbles that were made at the same time as the sound. One of the easier ways that they put sound into the water was they simply yelled. But another roadblock they ran into was the ratio of the amount of time it took for the lower frequency waves to penetrate the bubbles walls and access the water around the bubble, and then time from that point to the point on the other end of the body of water. But despite the revolutionary ideas of this article it was left mostly unnoticed. Sonochemistry experienced a renaissance in the 1980s with the advent of inexpensive and reliable generators of high-intensity ultrasound.
Physical principles
Sound waves propagating through a liquid at ultrasonic frequencies have wavelengths many times longer than the molecular dimensions or the bond length between atoms in the molecule. Therefore, the sound wave cannot directly affect the vibrational energy of the bond, and can therefore not directly increase the internal energy of a molecule. Instead, sonochemistry arises from acoustic cavitation: the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in a liquid.[3] The collapse of these bubbles is an almost adiabatic process, thereby resulting in the massive build-up of energy inside the bubble, resulting in extremely high temperatures and pressures in a microscopic region of the sonicated liquid. The high temperatures and pressures result in the chemical excitation of any matter within or very near the bubble as it rapidly imploded. A broad variety of outcomes can result from acoustic cavitation including sonoluminescence, increased chemical activity in the solution due to the formation of primary and secondary radical reactions, and increased chemical activity through the formation of new, relatively stable chemical species that can diffuse further into the solution to create chemical effects (for example, the formation of hydrogen peroxide from the combination of two hydroxyl radicals following the dissociation of water vapor within collapsing bubbles when water is exposed to ultrasound).
Upon irradiation with high intensity sound or ultrasound, acoustic cavitation usually occurs. Cavitation – the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles irradiated with sound — is the impetus for sonochemistry and sonoluminescence. Bubble collapse in liquids produces enormous amounts of energy from the conversion of kinetic energy of the liquid motion into heating the contents of the bubble. The compression of the bubbles during cavitation is more rapid than thermal transport, which generates a short-lived localized hot-spot. Experimental results have shown that these bubbles have temperatures around 5000 K, pressures of roughly 1000 atm, and heating and cooling rates above 1010 K/s. These cavitations can create extreme physical and chemical conditions in otherwise cold liquids.
With liquids containing solids, similar phenomena may occur with exposure to ultrasound. Once cavitation occurs near an extended solid surface, cavity collapse is non-spherical and drives high-speed jets of liquid to the surface. These jets and associated shock waves can damage the now highly heated surface. Liquid-powder suspensions produce high velocity interparticle collisions. These collisions can change the surface morphology, composition, and reactivity.
Antipodal and Sublunar Tidal Variance, Gravity, Curvature, The Electromagnetic Properties of Salt Water, and The Moon
The Ocean Tides and the Assumption of “Sides of The Earth ”
The rise and fall of ocean tides cannot be used as a proof of any sphericity of The Earth . Rising and lowering tides are simply the reflection of Lunar influence on the oceans, but do not prove that the entire mass of The Earth ’s water in molding and curving itself onto a ball spinning at 1000 miles an hour to create 360 degrees of aqua sphericity. The whole notion is patently absurd and is not supported by any scientific empirical study in the history of Mankind. If we accept that high and low tides are caused by the Moon, which I will show is reasonable, there would be a bulge on ONE portion of The Earth , and the unaffected portion would not reflect this.
The idea that The Moon is causing bulges on opposite sides of a ball at the same time to form a kind of aqua ellipse of The Earth , as many Heliocentrists believe, is not supported by any known observable model or laws of physics. It remains an unsubstantiated and non-verified hypothesis.
Additionally, the entire assumption that The Moon is effecting sides of a ball, itself, is unfounded. There is no indication that a ball, with nocturnal and diurnal sides, is being affected by The Moon. The tides simply rise and fall where The Moon is either present or absent. They are no indications that this phenomenon is occurring on opposite sides of a ball. It is simply happening where The Moon passes overhead. Since The Moon effects a massive portion of the Earth as it passes overhead, it would necessarily extend its influence over such a large swath as to make it appear that opposite sides of a ball were being effected, when in reality, Heliocentrists have extended and wrapped the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection of the World over a ball in order to create this illusion that the tides are on opposite sides of a ball.
It’s another Heliocentric Hat Trick.
The Earth ’s Solid Land Mass is Not Bulging From The Moon: Missing Curvature?
Another red flag in the Heliocentric explanation of tides proving the sphericity of The Earth is that The Moon is obviously not causing a bulge in the Earth ’s solid land mass. And so, how would The Moon’s tidal pull prove that The Earth is curved if only the oceans are being attracted by The Moon? Sphericity must include the entire mass of The Earth , and not just the oceans. You still need to account for why The Earth ’s inert land mass is curving in seamless synchronous sphericity with an ocean mass that has a Lunar driven reason to bulge. These are two de-synchronous masses that somehow magically conform together continuously to create a sphere. There is still no scientific explanation in the Heliocentric Model for such a notion.
How Much Sublunar Point Ocean Water Should Be Curving According To The Heliocentric Model?
The Earth ’s circumference is allegedly 24,901 miles, making one side a semi-circle of approximately 12,450 miles. And so, that’s 12,450 miles of Sublunar Point aqua curvature that needs to be accounted for.
Gradual Ebb and Flow Variance and Expected Aqua Curvature
The change from low to high tide is known as “flood tide”, while the change from high to low tide is called “ebb tide”. The technical term for the difference in water level between high tide and low tide is “tidal range”. The flow and ebb are gradual, so it is not accurate to say that a high or low tide lasts around 6 hours and 12 minutes, i.e. a quarter of a lunar day. The variation between high and low tide is very different from place to place. It can range from almost no difference to over 16 meters (over 50 feet).
And so, over a distance of 12,450 miles, we can expect at the most, an arc of 50 feet of tidal variance.
Ok, what is the expected curvature of the Earth at just 1000 miles distance:
1000 miles x 1000 miles x 8 inches x 12 inches to get feet = 666,667 feet of expected Earth curvature over a span of 1000 miles.
And yet over a span of 12,450 miles, the tidal variance arc, at its greatest, is said to be merely 50 feet high?
See the problem?
You literally have to assert, without any proof, that The Earth is curved, and then insert your little 50 feet of ocean bulge over a 12,450 mile arc in order to claim…wait for it… The Earth is curved. Its pure Sophistry and circular reasoning. First you assert that The Earth is curved in order to later assert that The Earth is curved. Got that? No proof needed…just a blind assertion and 50 feet of ocean bulge over a 12,450 mile arc.
Subsequently, The Sublunar Point, nor the fictitious Antipodal Point, can be said to prove that The Earth is curved if The Moon is only causing a 50 foot arc of curvature over 12,450 miles. The Heliocentric Model contradicts itself with no help from anybody else. This is typical of Heliocentric logic: First you assume something unproven, and then you layer over it additional unproven hypotheses to obfuscate the initial lie.
The Antipodal and Sublunar Points
One of the main components of Earth ’s physical system is the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is the sum of Earth ’s water, in the ocean, the ground, on the surface, and in the air. Approximately 71 percent of Earth ’s surface is covered in water. Just because one side of the Earth is affected by Lunar pull at night, does not mean the other side is rounded in the exact same manner. In fact, it is the opposite. If the oceans are bulging at night due to the Moon’s effect at The Sublunar Point of the Earth , then that same effect is absent at Antipodal Point of The Earth (The opposite side).
In The Heliocentric Model, the low tides are the result of the absence of The Moon’s influence upon the Earth ’s oceans. In this model, the Earth morphs into an ellipse, with bulging water on the side where The Moon is prominent, The Sublunar Point, and a slightly lesser bulging oceanic condition, or “lower high tide”, on the opposite side of The Earth , The Antipodal Point, where The Moon is not directly facing. In other words, they are claiming that The Earth morphs into an elliptical football shape due to the Moon’s influence, with squashed sides where the Moon has little pending effect.
But why are they saying this?
Here is why: Magic Gravity and Newton’s Laws of Inertia
Invoking Magic Gravity and Newton’s Laws of Inertia
The explanation that the Heliocentrists invoke involves magic Gravity, with a perversion of Newton’s Laws of Inertia. In Newton’s First Law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In Newton’s The Second Law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In Newton’s The Third Law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction. Using Newton’s Laws, Heliocentrist claim that magic Gravity and inertia act in opposition on the Earth ’s oceans, creating tidal bulges on opposite sides of the Earth . Allegedly, on the “near” side of the Earth (the side facing the Moon), the gravitational force of the Moon pulls the ocean’s waters toward it, creating one bulge. And on the far side of the Earth , inertia dominates, creating a second bulge. In other words, in the Heliocentric Model, The Moon’s gravitational field allegedly creates convexity of one side of The Earth ’s oceans at night, while creating convexity of the other side of The Earth ’s oceans at the same time.
Now Add The Sun’s Magic Gravity as a Cherry on Top
In The Heliocentric Model, The Sun also plays a major role, affecting the size and position of the two tidal bulges. The interaction of the gravitational forces generated by the Moon and the Sun can be quite complex. In this way the combination of gravity and inertia create two bulges of water. One forms where the Earth and Moon are closest, and the other forms where they are furthest apart. Over the rest of the Earth , gravity and inertia are in relative balance. Because water is fluid, the two bulges stay aligned with the Moon as the Earth rotates.
Got all that?
That is their story. Its like a horror movie where you, as the audience, are forced to suspend all disbelief to believe in the characters and plot. The entire Heliocentric Model is a Rubic’s Cube of shifting, non-verifiable, and unproven hypothesis, always careening and pivoting upon unproven gravitational forces, with mathematical variables that do not even remotely reflect the visible world or known measurements.
Football Earth : The Heliocentric Fumble
Just to be absolutely clear about The Heliocentric Model, imagine the ocean is shaped like a football pointing at the Moon. The football’s pointed ends represent the parts of the Earth experiencing high tide and the football’s flat sides are the parts of the Earth experiencing low tide. The bulge on the far side of the Earth is caused by inertia. The water moving away from the Moon resists the gravitational forces that attempt to pull it in the opposite direction. Because the gravitational pull of the Moon is weaker on the far side of the Earth , inertia wins, the ocean bulges out and high tide occurs. In a nutshell, the tidal bulges are primarily caused by the Moon’s fictional gravitational pull upon the Earth . That fictional force can have two separate components. It can pull matter “vertically”, by which we mean perpendicularly to the Earth ’s surface. And it can also pull things “horizontally” (i.e. in a direction that runs parallel to the face of the Earth ).
Think I am kidding?
Go research it.
Go to any geological site and they will propose this model. They will say that the tides are very long-period waves that move through the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, and that the result is a kind of elliptical football Earth . It is as bad as Niel de Grasse Tyson’s pear shaped Earth nonsense.
A Glance at The Heliocentric Model and The Sun’s Alleged Tidal Influence
In The Heliocentric Model, The Sun is 27 million times larger than The Moon. Based on its mass, and again only according to The Heliocentric Model, the Sun’s alleged gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the Moon to the Earth . Now, if we are to strictly adhere to Heliocentric logic to this issue of tidal effect, we insert that Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that the gravitational attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies. Therefore, the greater the mass of the objects and the closer they are to each other, the greater the gravitational attraction between them.
Hence, if tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the Sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the Moon. Additionally, again only in The Heliocentric Model, the Sun is allegedly 390 times further from the Earth than is the Moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 390 to the third power (390 x 390 x 390), or about 59 million times less than the Moon. Because of these conditions, the sun’s tide-generating force is about half that of the Moon.
Saltwater and Electromagnets
Saltwater conducts electricity more efficiently than freshwater, and its conductive properties create a moving magnetic field when an electromagnet is placed nearby. Then, the saltwater creates an opposing magnetic field, causing turbulence (erratic changes in pressure and flow velocity) in the water. When a charged magnet comes into contact with saltwater, the ions flow through the metal to become stabilized, resulting in the electrical field. The sheer size of The Moon enables it act as a magnetic field, thereby influencing The Earth ’s ocean and creating the tides that we measure at night.
The Magnetic Properties of The Moon
There’s a problem with thinking that The Moon has no magnetic properties. The problem is that the scientific data shoes otherwise. Rocks from The Moon show evidence of magnetic fields existing too recently in lunar history to fit the unsubstantiated inner dynamo core theory of how the Moon’s magnetic field is created. Regardless, the magnetic field of the Moon is very weak in comparison to that of the Earth , but it is real, measurable, and has an effect upon the tides of The Earth ’s oceans.
Tesla Magnetic Flux Density and Lunar Magnetism
During the Apollo program several magnetic field strength readings were taken with readings ranging from a low of 6γ (6nT) at the Apollo 15 site to a maximum of 313γ (0.31mT) at the Apollo 16 site, note these readings were recorded in gammas(γ) a now outdated unit of magnetic flux density equivalent to 1nT, with “T” referring to Tesla Units. Tesla The Tesla symbol: T is a derived unit of the magnetic B-field strength (also, magnetic flux density) in the International System of Units. One Tesla is equal to one weber per square metre. The unit was announced during the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960 and is named in honour of Nikola Tesla, upon the proposal of the Slovenian electrical engineer France Avčin.
The Swarm Earth Explorer Mission and The Earth ’s Oceans’ Magnetic Field
The ebb and flow of salty water, caused by our Moon’s electromagnetic pull, can induce their own magnetic field, one which a trio of European Space Agency’s (ESA) satellites has mapped in exquisite detail.
Known as “Swarm”, the trio of satellites was blasted off into orbit back in 2013 to help us better understand the planet’s magnetic field. Imagine the surprise among ESA’s researchers when the satellites stumbled into a whole new magnetic phenomenon. The Swarm Earth Explorer mission consists of a constellation of three satellites that measure variations of the magnetic field on The Earth .
Quote from Swarm Earth Explorer Mission Team Leader Nils Olsen (Technical University of Denmark)
“It’s a really tiny magnetic field. It’s about 2-2.5 nanotesla at satellite altitude, which is many times weaker than the Earth ’s magnetic field,” Nils Olsen, from the Technical University of Denmark, told BBC News, but it still has an effect upon the ocean’s tides. What set the satellite trio apart from its peers, and enabled this discovery, is the way in which the satellite trio measures water. Other devices we’ve sent in orbit record tides as a change in sea-surface height, but Swarm’s magnetic instruments view the movements of the entire column of water, all the way down to the seabed.”
Water is diamagnetic, meaning that it has weak magnetic qualities when a magnetic field is applied to it. However, adding salt reduces its diamagnetism but makes it a better electrical conductor, meaning it will start interacting with magnetic fields. Since oceans house humongous quantities of water, and as tides cycle around ocean basins, the overall effect is enough to ‘pull’ the Earth ’s geomagnetic field lines along. The interaction between saltwater and the Earth ’s magnetic field also generates electrical currents, which, in turn, induce their own magnetic signals, thereby effecting the Earth ;’ ocean tides at night, in the absence of the conversely repelling electromagnetic properties of The Sun during the day.
The magnetic signature of the tides causes a “weak magnetic response” deep below the sea, Nils Olson explained, which could allow us to peer into the electrical goings-on The Earth ’s topical Lithosphere.
The Logic Behind The Earth ’s Parabolic Curvature Equation
NASA states that the Earth is a sphere with a radius of 3963 miles. If you are at a point P on the Earth 's surface and move tangent to the surface a distance of 1 mile, then you can form a right angled triangle as in the diagram below. Using the theorem of Pythagoras a squared = 39632 + 12 = 15705370 and thus a = 3963.000126 miles. Thus your position is 3963.000126 - 3963 = 0.000126 miles (12 inches) above the surface of the Earth .
To convert miles to inches: 0.000126 miles = 12 inches * 5280 feet per mile * 0.000126 = 7.98 inches. Hence, the Earth 's surface curves approximately 8 inches in one mile. From this equation, comes the historic miles squared times 8 inches equation for calculating the curvature of the Earth .
Now let’s use a more explicit approach:
If the Earth is 25,000 miles in circumference then the curvature would be 8 inches per mile. Trigonometry is employed to calculate this curvature. One must know the basics of applying Sine, Cosine, and Tangent to do this. The following is a refresher on that:
The Right Triangle
Sine, Cosine and Tangent are the main functions used in Trigonometry and are based on a Right-Angled Triangle.
Before getting stuck into the functions, it helps to give a name to each side of a right triangle:
- "Opposite" is opposite to the angle θ
- "Adjacent" is adjacent (next to) to the angle θ
- "Hypotenuse" is the long one
Sine, Cosine and Tangent (often shortened to sin, cos and tan) are each a ratio of sides of a right-angled triangle:
For a given angle θ each ratio stays the same no matter how big or small the triangle is.
To calculate them:
Divide the length of one side by another side
Example: What is the sine of 35°?
Using this triangle (lengths are only to one decimal place):
| sin (35°) |
= Opposite Hypotenuse |
|
|
= 2.84.9 |
|
|
= 0.57... |
|
|
|
| cos (35°) |
= Adjacent Hypotenuse |
|
|
= 4.04.9 |
|
|
= 0.82... |
|
|
|
| tan (35°) |
= Opposite Adjacent |
|
|
= 2.84.0 = 0.70... |
|
|

Ok, now attempting to calculate the distance that the Earth drops down per mile, the equation would equal radius² + distance² = (radius + drop).
In this example r = radius, d = distance, h = height/drop.
The measure or rate of drop or curvature can be written in equation as √(r² + d²) - r = drop. Should the radius of the Earth be 3,963 miles, at one mile distance, the equation can be solved as √(3963² + 1²) - 3963 = drop.
Putting that into a calculator you get drop = .000126 mi.
There are 5280 feet in a mile and 12 inches in a foot. So, .000126 x 5280 x 12 = the rate of curvature should correspond to 7.98336 inches as calculated by this formula, or approximately 8 inches of curvature times miles squared, meaning that over a certain distance, one must simply square the root of the distance traveled in miles and then multiply that figure by eight inches. For example, traveling one mile, one would multiply 8 x 1 mile squared:
8(1×1) = 8 inches of total curvature
Determining curvature over the first ten miles in inches, the rate would amount to:
8(1×1) = 8 Inches of total curvature
8(2×2) = 32 Inches of total curvature
8(3×3) = 72 Inches of total curvature
8(4×4) = 128 Inches of total curvature
8(5×5) = 200 Inches of total curvature
8(6×6) = 288 Inches of total curvature
8(7×7) = 392 Inches of total curvature
8(8×8) = 512 Inches of total curvature
8(9×9) = 648 Inches of total curvature
8(10×10) = 800 Inches of total curvature
Converting the total number of inches of curvature into feet, simply divide that number by twelve, since there are twelve inches per feet, or twelve inches in one foot. The table below shows how much measurable curvature should exist in scale of miles according to the distances listed prior.
8(1×1)/12 = 0.666 Feet of total curvature
8(2×2)/12 = 2.666 Feet of total curvature
8(3×3)/12 = 6 Feet of total curvature
8(4×4)/12 = 10.666 Feet of total curvature
8(5×5)/12 = 16.666 Feet of total curvature
8(6×6)/12 = 24 Feet of total curvature
8(7×7)/12 = 32.666 Feet of total curvature
8(8×8)/12 = 42.666 Feet of total curvature
8(9×9)/12 = 54 Feet of total curvature
8(10×10)/12 = 66.666 Feet of total curvature
Thus, if the Earth is 25,000 miles in circumference then the curvature would be 8 inches per mile squared. To use his formula for calculation, just square the mileage and multiply by 8. So, if you use 3 miles it is 3 squared (9) and multiply by 8 (72), which is 6 feet. Therefore, the Earth ’s curvature at 3 miles should be a rate of 6 feet or 72 inches
Now the thing to remember is that this is a parabolic equation, but that does not mean it cannot predict curvature on a sphere. This equation accounts for approximately 1000 miles of parabolic arc segment from the Earth . And then, all one has to do is apply the next 1000 miles of parabolic arc segment from the Earth , using the same equation, etc.. until a sphere is achieved.
The Techno Gnostic Perversion of Light From Scientism: Aether and Mediums
Apparently, light waves do not need a medium in which to travel but sound waves do. Nevertheless, light is said to travel faster in a vacuum than through water. And yet, at the same time, light is said to be massless. The paradoxes keep adding up the more they talk about light. And that is because , they desperately need to avoid inferring or insinuating that there is some universal medium in which things transit through. They need to dabble with grosser mediums like, the molecular density of air, or Dark Matter, or Quantum Fields, but never anything as fundamental as Aether.
Aether
According to ancient and medieval science, Aether, also spelled æther, aither, or ether and also called quintessence (fifth element), is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. The concept of aether was used in several theories to explain several natural phenomena, such as the traveling of light and gravity. In the late 19th century, physicists postulated that aether permeated all throughout space, providing a medium through which light could travel in a vacuum, but evidence for the presence of such a medium was not found in the Michelson–Morley experiment, and this result has been interpreted as meaning that no such luminiferous aether exists.
You can essentially make up anything you like in modern physics to replace the idea of Aether. With the idea of Aether, comes the idea of a motionless Earth and the Michelson Morley Experiment, etc…
They cannot have that.
And so, Einsteinian Space Time took its place.
Mediums and Fields that Scientism allows:
- Quantum Field
- Zero Point Field
- Quantum Vacuum
- Dark Matter
- Space Time Continuum
- Gravitational Field
- Electromagnetic Field
- Waves as Fields
- Continuous Random Field
Anything but Aether.
The Jesuits: Owners of the 500-Year-Old Flat Earth Secret
“The Jesuits are a MILITARY organization, not a religious order. Their chief is a general of an army, not the mere father abbot of a monastery. And the aim of this organization is power – power in its most despotic exercise – absolute power, universal power, power to control the world by the volition of a single man [i.e., the Black Pope, the Superior General of the Jesuits]. Jesuitism is the most absolute of despotisms – and at the same time the greatest and most enormous of abuses…”
--Napoleon I (i.e., Napoleon Bonaparte; 1769-1821; emperor of the French)
*****
“It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated most of the wars of Europe.”
-- Freemason and 1st President George Washington--(note Freemason is before 1st American President!)

The Society of Jesus, otherwise known as the Vatican Jesuit Military Order, founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1540, have been highly instrumental in the creating and perpetuating the Great 500 year lie that the Earth is a sphere rotating around a central Sun, held in orbit by gravity. You will find that the Jesuits and the Vatican have been the intimately and deeply involved in all things Outer Space, including owning the earliest telescopes and to this day, the largest owners of observatories and telescopes in the world today.
Vatican astronomers used some of the facilities of Steward Observatory, but in 1993 the 1.8-meter Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) opened on Mount Graham in southeast Arizona. The same year, Steward Observatory’s Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope (SMT) also opened on Mount Graham. A little more than a decade later, the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) opened on Mount Graham. With twin 8.4-meter mirrors, the LBT is one of the largest optical telescopes in the world. This telescope is known as the “Large Binocular Telescope Near-Infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field unit for Extragalactic Research”, which they distilled down into the name ,“L.U.C.I.F.E.R”. How holy of them, right?
De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) is the seminal work on the Heliocentric theory of the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. From Copernicus’ dedication in his book to Pope Paul III, to Galileo Galilei who was feted Rome, honored by the Jesuits of the Roman College and received by Pope Paul V, to Sir Isaac Newton who conspired with the English Jesuits at Liege, to Jesuit idiot shill, Albert Einstein, who yielded The Big Bang Theory Story created by his colleague, Jesuit Priest, Georges Lemaitre, The Society of Jesuits have been intimately involved with both the spreading of Heliocentric theory and the burying of 5,000 years of Flat Earth Cosmology.
The Jesuits are rulers of all powers that we are aware of and are ruthless in their pursuit of world domination for centuries, no matter who is killed or what has to be done to maintain and establish world order out of chaos.
They rule over, or are deeply partnered with, the Rothschilds and International Banksters, Secret Societies from Opus Dei, to the York and Scottish Rite Freemasons, Illuminati, as well as the Zionist Jews in seats of power.
They rule over all agencies of government and think tanks including the NSA, CIA, FBI, Mossad, KGB, Round Table, The Committee of 300, Tavistock Institute, Lucis Trust Publishing, Bilderberg Group and the Council of Foreign Relations, including representative government and legislation like the U.S. Presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court.
Our laws are derived of Roman Latin Maritime law and run out of Rome. Their 500 year system is based on openly secret bodies of governance called City-States managed by the Trilateral Commission of the Vatican, City of London and Washington, D.C.
These separate city-states are individual corporations that answer to no country and have their own special status in world court with their own banking, police force, mayor, constitution and flags. (bonus question: Why is
Washington named to be in the District of Columbia). For more on the NWO Trilateral ownership of the world, please see here.
The Jesuits are a military order under the Knights of Malta and are ruled by the 13 ancient families of Satanic bloodlines. The top of power currently is one Black Pope, Adolfo, Nicolas, the current Superior General, who all Presidents, Prime Ministers and banksters answer to.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio not only supported the US sponsored dictatorship, he also played a direct and complicit role in the “Dirty War” (la guerra sucia”) in liaison with the military Junta headed by General Jorge Videla, leading to the arrest, imprisonment, torture and disappearance of progressive Catholic priests and laymen who were opposed to Argentina’s military rule.(source)
Now, for the first time in 600 years, the White Pope Francis is a Jesuit who reigned power in Argentina during their bloody “Dirty Wars”. Additionally, drought engineered California has as Governor, Jesuit trained Jerry Brown.
The first Jesuits established Washington D.C., when the wealthiest man in the U.S. at the time, Jesuit John Carrol, donated the land to found the birthing of the “New Jerusalem” in 1871 with the passage of the Organic Act creating the separate city-state of Washington D.C. (note the “birthing occurred between the two states of Virginia and Maryland….the Virgin Mary, get it? This is how long these most despicable group of child abusing men have ruled all worlds of all for centuries. And it is not over. The truth is being revealed and any can easily see how far Jesuit influence has come when one contemplates the worldwide acceptance of a round ball Earth hurtling through space around our Sun at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour.
Jews are the Lower Level of Power
Very few in the alternate news media are covering the top of the pyramid, The Jesuit Military Order, while extensively reporting on the Jews, Bankster Rothschilds, Freemasons, Bilderbergs, etc…. And the question has to be asked why? Why have they not included the omnipresent Jesuit hand throughout modern history? The Society of Jesus (Company of Jesus) aka Jesuits is a 500 year old, all male Roman Catholic Military Order. They operate through The Sovereign Military Order of St. John The Hospitalier of Jerusalem, Rhodes & Malta aka SMOM Knights of Malta, wielding unchecked power behind the scenes.
The “Society of Jesus”, as they are officially known, was originally used by the Vatican to counter the various Reformation movements in Europe, to which the Vatican lost much of its religious and political power. Absolute temporal ruling power has always been the Vatican institution’s primary objective. The Jesuits actually became so powerful and overbearing that they were disbanded by none other than the pope himself. In 1773 Ganganelli, who succeeded Clement XIII, issued a papal bull in which he declared them suppressed and extinct and their statutes annulled. They remained suppressed for forty years, but in 1814 Pius VII issued a bull solemnly reestablishing the society under the constitutions of “St. Ignatius.”
In the words of Abraham Lincoln: “If the Protestants of the North and the South could learn what the priests, nuns, and monks, who daily land on our shores, under the pretext of preaching their religion, were doing in our schools and hospitals, as emissaries of the Pope and the other despots of Europe, to undermine our institutions and alienate the hearts of our people from our Constitution and our laws, and prepare a reign of anarchy here, as they have done in Ireland, Mexico, Spain, and wherever there are people that wish to be free, they would unite in taking power out of their hands”. “The Jesuits never forsake.” (Washington in the lap of Rome, Justin D. Fulton; Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, by: Charles Chiniquy LCCN: BX1770.F9)
By the 17th Century there were more than 500 Jesuit schools established across Europe. The Jesuits standardized curriculum and teaching methods became the basis of many education systems today. There are 20,000 Jesuits working in more than 100 countries, with 200 members in the UK in parishes, schools, colleges and spirituality centers.
To understand the who, when, why and how the Flat Round Geocentric Earth Theory was destroyed 500 years ago in favor of a well-coordinated well planned effort to sell the world that we live on a Heliocentric spinning ball is what we all seek to know. Their purpose for creating the Greatest Lie in the History of Mankind was to create a story that each of us are only a single being amongst billions and billions of other star systems with their own planets and possible inhabitants versus the reality that we are really the center of the universe and all revolves around us, thus making God’s most important creations.
“Go ye, then, into all the world and take possession of all lands in the name of the Pope. He who will not accept him as the Vicar of Jesus and his Vice-Regent on Earth, let him be accursed and exterminated.” ~From Secret Instructions of the Jesuits
[The following is the text of the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction as recorded in the Journals of the 62nd Congress, 3rd Session, of the United States Congressional Record (House Calendar No. 397, Report No. 1523, 15 February 1913, pp. 3215-3216), from which it was subsequently torn out.
The Oath is also quoted by Charles Didier in his book Subterranean Rome (New York, 1843), translated from the French original. Dr. Alberto Rivera, who escaped from the Jesuit Order in 1967, confirms that the induction ceremony and the text of the Jesuit Oath which he took were identical to what we have cited below.
The Ordained Society of Jesuit Oath
“I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants’ heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race.
That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.’
In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I will subscribe my name written in my blood in testimony thereof.
And should I prove false, or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the militia of the Pope cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly be opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth, and my soul shall be tortured by demons in eternal hell forever.
Now Compare This Oath To The Freemasonry Oaths
The Obligation Of A First Degree Freemason (Entered Apprentice Degree):
“Binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and buried in the rough sands of the sea at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty four hours, should I ever knowingly or willingly violate this my solemn oath and obligation as an Entered Apprentice Mason. So help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same.”
The Obligation Of A Second Degree Freemason (Fellowcraft Degree):
“Binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my left breast torn open, my heart plucked out, and given as a prey to the wild beasts of the field and the fowls of the air as a prey.”
The Obligation Of A Third Degree Freemason (Master Mason Degree):
“Binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my body severed in two, my bowels taken from thence and burned to ashes, the ashes scattered to the four winds of heaven, so that no more trace or remembrance may be had of so vile and perjured a wretch as I, should I ever knowingly or willingly violate this my solemn obligation as a Master Mason. So help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same.”
In every ritual degree of Freemasonry and in all the most important ceremonial rituals and initiations of elite orders, the candidate is required to take an oath and is warned of the hideous and grotesque penalty that awaits him if he dares ever to reveal any of the group’s innermost secrets.
So both Jesuits and entry level Freemasons share very similar blood oaths or brutal death is brought upon thee.
To understand the great power of the Jesuits we need to take a brief overview of how much power they yield, and who and what they control.
The order traces its history to an 11th cent CE infirmary in Jerusalem set up by a monk to care for pilgrim visiting the Holy Land. During the Crusades it took on a military role to protect pilgrims and Christendom as a whole from Muslim attacks. In February 1113 Pope Paschal II recognized the order with a papal bull establishing its sovereign status by saying it was independent of both lay and other religious authorities.
The orders international legal status is entirely unique, a sovereign a sovereign entity that prints its own stamps, coins, license plates and passports, yet has no territory over which it rules. Its forces once occupied Cyprus, Rhodes and Malta, but Napoleon expelled the order from Malta in 1798,depriving it of the final patch of land over it ruled. Nevertheless, the order still enjoys many of the trapping of a small country: UN observer status and diplomatic relation with 104 countries.

When Flat Round Earth Got Dropped From Scientific Inquiry: Geocentrism Vs. Heliocentrism no Longer Up For Discussion
In 1543, Copernicus suggested the sun was at the center of the cosmos. When Jesuit astronomer, Giovanni Battista Riccioli published his Almagestrum Novum or “New Almagest” the title alone suggested the boldness of the project. This was to be a new and updated take on Ptolemy’s Almagest. The book offered new insight into the state of thought about the cosmos in 17th century Europe.
The frontispiece to Riccioli’s Almagestrum Novum tells his perspective on the state of astronomy in 1651. Urania, the winged muse of astronomy, holds up a scale with two competing models, a sun centered Copernican model, and the Tychonic geocentric model. The Ptolemaic model sits discarded in the bottom right corner of the scene. On the right, 100 eyed Argus points at cherubs in the upper right corner of the illustration.
The Cherubs hold recent observational discoveries; the moons of Jupiter, a detailed mountainous moon and the rings of Saturn. Under God’s hand from the top of the image, the scale reports the Tychonic model to be heavier and thus the winner.
Early Channeling Sagan: Billions and Billions
Some of the most interesting details in this illustration are tucked away in the corners. In the upper right corner, among the clouds, are small representations of additional solar systems. Beyond the central diagram, the mapmaker shows the concept of the plurality of worlds. Each of these little sets of circles represents its own solar system with a star and planets. This image directly draws on the literary author, de Fontenelle, who building on the ideas of Newton and Descartes’, explored the significance of living in a universe with a plurality of worlds each orbiting their own stars.
Riccioli leans on the authority of a number of contemporary and historical thinkers. He lists 38 different astronomers and thinkers, such as Aristotle, Ptolemy and others who believe the Earth to be the center of the universe. He compares them to the 16 astronomers, including Copernicus, Kepler, and Descartes, who favor a sun centered model.
There were three mathematical models to describe the movements of the heavens in the 1600s:
1.) The Aristotelian / Ptolemaic system, with everything orbiting around a stationary Earth, which had largely fallen out of favor following Galileo’s observations.
2.) The Tychonic system (developed by Tycho Brahe), in which the Earth was viewed as stationary, the Sun went around the Earth and everything else went around the Sun. After Galileo’s presentations in 1611, this became the favored model of the Roman Catholic Church. Most Jesuit astronomers (such as Clavius) had adopted this system by 1620.
3.) The Copernican system, with a stationary Sun around which everything else revolved.
A statue of Nicolaus Copernicus erected 1973, 500 years after his birthday in front of the Jesuit college and a planetarium in Piotrkow Trybunalski, …
Among Catholics, Christoph Clavius (1537–1612) was the leading astronomer in the sixteenth century. A Jesuit himself, he incorporated astronomy into the Jesuit curriculum and was the principal scholar behind the creation of the Gregorian calendar. Like the Wittenberg astronomers, Clavius adopted Copernican mathematical models when he felt them superior, but he believed that Ptolemy’s cosmology — both his ordering of the planets and his use of the equant — was correct.
Pope Clement VII (r. 1523–1534) had reacted favorably to a talk about Copernicus’s theories, rewarding the speaker with a rare manuscript. There is no indication of how Pope Paul III, to whom On the Revolutions was dedicated reacted; however, a trusted advisor, Bartolomeo Spina of Pisa (1474–1546) intended to condemn it but fell ill and died before his plan was carried out (see Rosen, 1975). Thus, in 1600 there was no official Catholic position on the Copernican system, and it was certainly not a heresy.
Tycho Brahe, 14 December 1546 – 24 October 1601), was a Danish nobleman known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical and planetary observations.
After disagreements with the new Danish king Christian IV in 1597, he was invited by the Bohemian king and Holy Roman emperor Rudolph II to Prague, where he became the official imperial astronomer. He built the new observatory at Benátky nad Jizerou. There, from 1600 until his death in 1601, he was assisted by Johannes Kepler who later used Tycho’s astronomical data to develop his three laws of planetary motion.
Some acceptance of the Tychonic system persisted through the 17th century and in places until the early 18th century; it was supported (after a 1633 decree about the Copernican controversy) by “a flood of pro-Tycho literature” of Jesuit origin.
Among pro-Tycho Jesuits, Ignace Pardies declared in 1691 that it was still the commonly accepted system, and Francesco Blanchinus reiterated that as late as 1728.[82] Persistence of the Tychonic system, especially in Catholic countries, has been attributed to its satisfaction of a need (relative to Catholic doctrine) for “a safe synthesis of ancient and modern”.
“The laws of nature are written by the hand of God in the language of mathematics.” – Galileo Galilei (Il Saggiatore, 1623)
Initially a beneficiary of church patronage of astronomy, Galileo rose to prominence with the publication of Sidereus Nuncius, which comprised astronomical observations made possible by the 1608 invention of the telescope. He was feted in Rome, honored by the Jesuits of the Roman College and received by Pope Paul V and church dignitaries
In 1611 Galileo travelled to Rome to present his findings, and was greeted with great acclaim. He demonstrated his observations of Jupiter to Christopher Clavius, a Jesuit at the Collegio Romano and the most respected astronomer in Europe at the time, who confirmed Galileo’s observations and parts of his theses of planetary motion. He was monumentally arrogant, belligerent and abrasive towards any who opposed him.
Controversial Questions’ (don’t you just love that title?), wrote a letter to Galileo in April 1615 outlining the Church’s official position. He pointed out that Copernican theory was perfectly acceptable as a working hypothesis, and if there were proof that the earth circles around the sun, “then we should have to proceed with great circumspection in explaining passages of Scripture which appear to teach the contrary.”
Galileo had no astronomical proof to offer, partly because his own observations did not align properly with his theory. Instead, Galileo proposed as proof a flawed and unconvincing theory that the tides were evidence of the Earth’s rotation (and, incidentally, specifically denying that lunar attraction was involved). In 1616 the Church ordered him to cease and desist his public advocacy of the unproven theory.
In 1623 his friend and supporter Maffeo Barberini ascended to the papacy, and Galileo confidently re-entered the public fray. In the same year he published Il Saggiatore (‘The Assayer’), in which he launched a vicious assault on a treatise on comets by Orazio Grassi, a Jesuit mathematician at the Collegio Romano. Grassi used observations of parallax to argue that comets are further away than the moon; Galileo ridiculed this idea and claimed instead that comets are an optical illusion. His factual error notwithstanding, the harshness of Galileo’s tone permanently soured his relations with the Jesuit order. Pope Urban VIII thoroughly enjoyed the rhetorical flourishes of Galileo’s prose, however, and composed a poem in his honor.
The Jesuits at the Roman College undoubtedly followed Aristotle in philosophy and Ptolemy in astronomy, at least for didactic purposes
Orazio Grassi, S.J. (1 May 1583 – 23 July 1654), was an Italian Jesuit priest, who is best noted as a mathematician, astronomer and architect. He was one of the authors in controversy with Galileo Galilei on the nature of comets
Giovanni Battista Riccioli[1] (17 April 1598 – 25 June 1671) was an Italian astronomer and a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order. He is known, among other things, for his experiments with pendulums and with falling bodies, for his discussion of 126 arguments concerning the motion of the Earth, and for introducing the current scheme of lunar nomenclature.

Cogito Ergo Sum ~ I Think Therefore I Am
Rene Descartes laid the foundation for 17th-century continental rationalism, later advocated by Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Leibniz, and opposed by the empiricist school of thought consisting of Hobbes, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume. Leibniz, Spinoza[citation needed] and Descartes were all well versed in mathematics as well as philosophy, and Descartes and Leibniz contributed greatly to science as well.
In 1607, late because of his fragile health, he entered the Jesuit College Royal Henry-Le-Grand at La Flèche where he was introduced to mathematics and physics, including Galileo’s work.
Jean- Fran Fouquet was born in Vézelay in a wealthy family. He studied at Lycée Louis le Grand in Paris. In 1681 he entered the order of the Jesuits. Four years later he taught mathematics. In 1693 he became a priest and in the following year he decided he wanted to volunteer in Asia. In 1699 he arrived in Amoy. Until 1711 he worked in Fujian and Jiangxi, then he was invited to Peking, to teach math and astronomy.
Jean-Félix Picard (21 July 1620 – 12 July 1682) was a French astronomer and priest born in La Flèche, where he studied at the Jesuit College Royal Henry-Le-Grand. . He was the first person to measure the size of the Earth to a reasonable degree of accuracy in a survey conducted in 1669–70, for which he is honored with a pyramid at Juvisy-sur-Orge.
While the Kirch Comet of 1680–1681 was discovered by—and subsequently named for—Gottfried Kirch, credit must also be given to Eusebio Kino, the Spanish Jesuit priest who charted the comet’s course.
Jesuit Astronomers with Chinese Scholars in the 18th Century
The Jesuit China missions of the 16th and 17th centuries introduced Western science and astronomy, then undergoing its own revolution, to China. One modern historian writes that in late Ming courts, the Jesuits were “regarded as impressive especially for their knowledge of astronomy, calendar-making, mathematics, hydraulics, and geography.”[4]
The Society of Jesus introduced, according to Thomas Woods, “a substantial body of scientific knowledge and a vast array of mental tools for understanding the physical universe, including the Euclidean geometry that made planetary motion comprehensible.”[5] Another expert quoted by Woods said the scientific revolution brought by the Jesuits coincided with a time when science was at a very low level in China.
On 8 June 1723, Fouquet was received by Pope Innocent XIII. Fouquet met another Chinese in Rome, who offered him help with translating. In 1725 he was appointed as bishop of Eleutheropolis in Palestine.
Johannes Kepler December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630) was a German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer. A key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution, he is best known for his laws of planetary motion, based on his works Astronomia nova, Harmonices Mundi, and Epitome of Copernican Astronomy. These works also provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton‘s theory of universal gravitation.
During his career, Kepler was a mathematics teacher at a seminary school in Graz, Austria
Jesuits Produce First Telescopes
Modern refracting telescopes are based on a design proposed by Johannes Kepler in 1611 but first constructed by Father Christopher Scheiner sometime between 1613 and 1617.
Why did Scheiner build an astronomical telescope when other scientists of his day seemed quite content with the Galilean telescope? The answer may require looking past Scheiner to his order, the Jesuits. Scheiner’s unorthodoxy regarding telescope construction, use and theory was not out of place in the Jesuits. Another Jesuit of Scheiner’s and Galileo’s time, Niccolo Zucchi, demonstrated that a telescopic effect could be achieved using a combination of parabolic mirrors and lenses instead of just lenses. This crude reflecting telescope was built more than 50 years before Newton’s famous telescope.
The Jesuits also have a connection with the spread of telescope technology beyond Europe. The first telescope in North America was a gift presented by the Jesuits in 1646 to Jean Bourdon, an engineer in New France (modern day Quebec). The first telescope in China was brought there by Johannes Schreck, another Jesuit, in 1621 (his trip from Europe started in 1618). The Jesuit Jean Richaud is wrongly thought to be the first to use telescopes for astronomical purposes in India.
The Vatican’s L.U.C.I.F.E.R. Telescope
The dedication plaque of the VATT reads: ‘This new tower for studying the stars has been erected during the XV year of the reign of John Paul II on this peaceful site so fit for such studies, and it has been equipped with a new large mirror for detecting the faintest glimmers of light from distant objects. May whoever searches here night and day the far reaches of space use it joyfully with the help of God.
Why Is the Vatican the Largest and Longest Owners of Telescope Observatories?
“It may be boldly asked where can the man be found, possessing the extraordinary gifts of Newton, who could suffer himself to be deluded by such a hocus-pocus, if he had not in the first instance willfully deceived himself; Only those who know the strength of self-deception, and the extent to which it sometimes trenches on dishonesty, are in a condition to explain the conduct of Newton and of Newton’s school.
To support his unnatural theory Newton heaps fiction upon fiction, seeking to dazzle where he cannot convince. In whatever way or manner may have occurred this business, I must still say that I curse this modern history theory of Cosmology, and hope that perchance there may appear, in due time, some young scientists of genius, who will pick up courage enough to upset this universally disseminated delirium of lunatics.”
“Along with the rest of the world I was convinced that all the colors are contained in the light; no one had ever told me anything different, and I had never found the least cause to doubt it, because I had no further interest in the subject. But how I was astonished, as I looked at a white wall through the prism, that it stayed white! That only where it came upon some darkened area, it showed some color, then at last, around the windowsill all the colors shone. It didn’t take long before I knew here was something significant about color to be brought forth, and I spoke as through an instinct out loud, that the Newtonian teachings were false.” ~ Johannes Wolfgang Goethe
Isaac Newton’s Theory of Colors Worked Out With Jesuits of England
Sir Isaac Newton was also engaged in another exchange on his theory of colors with a circle of English Jesuits in Liege, perhaps the most revealing exchange of all. Although their objections were shallow, their contention that his experiments were mistaken lashed him into a fury. The correspondence dragged on until 1678, when a final shriek of rage from Newton, apparently accompanied by a complete nervous breakdown, was followed by silence.
Newton has been identified as a “Grand Master of the Priory of Sion” from 1691-1727 in documents by Pierre Plantard. There is a secret society known as the Priory of Sion, which has a long history starting in 1099, and had illustrious Grand Masters including Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton; it created the Knights Templar as its military arm and financial branch; and it is devoted to installing the Merovingian dynasty, that ruled the Franks from 457 to 751, on the thrones of France and the rest of Europe.
Newton was made President of the Royal Society in 1703 and an associate of the French Academie des Sciences. In his position at the Royal Society, Newton made an enemy of John Flamsteed, the Astronomer Royal, by prematurely publishing Flamsteed’s star catalogue.
The researchers say that a little known school of scholars in southwest India discovered one of the founding principles of modern mathematics hundreds of years before Newton, a University of Manchester statement says.
Newton‘s supposed “law of gravity,” are what’s truly dubious. Heliocentrists cannot show us a single object massive enough that by virtue of its mass alone, causes other smaller masses to stick to or orbit it as they claim happens with the Sun, Moon, Earth, Stars and Planets. If you cannot give me a single practical example of “gravity” smaller than the Earth or the Sun, then it is merely heresay, not science! ~ Eric Dubay Flat Earth Conspiracy
Newton’s Major Body of Work Heavily Edited by Jesuits
“Newton’s Laws have been responsible for the discovery of planets, for the construction of safe bridges, roads and amusement park rides, for an understanding of the ocean’s tides, and for realistic computer animations and video games,” said Erlich, the Class of 2017 Associate Professor of Physics. “It would be difficult to overstate the importance of at least some of these things.”
After the first edition (hereafter referred to as Newton 1), two subsequent editions were published. The second edition (Newton 2) was published in 1713 and the third edition (Newton 3) in 1726. Then, just over a decade later, comes Newton 4, the so-called Jesuit edition, which was edited by two Minim friars. The Jesuit edition contains commentary that extends to roughly the same length as Newton’s text. The text for the Jesuit edition was, in fact, taken from the Newton 3 edition of the Principia—the last edition to be edited by Newton himself.
Newton Did Not Discover Calculus but Passed on by Jesuits
Dr George Gheverghese Joseph from The University of Manchester says the ‘Kerala School’ identified the ‘infinite series’- one of the basic components of calculus – in about 1350.
The discovery is currently – and wrongly – attributed in books to Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz at the end of the seventeenth centuries.
And there is strong circumstantial evidence that the Indians passed on their discoveries to mathematically knowledgeable Jesuit missionaries who visited India during the fifteenth century.
Newton vs. Castel: Theory of Colors
Louis Bertrand Castel (15 November 1688 – 9 January 1757) was a French mathematician born in Montpellier, and entered the order of the Jesuits in 1703. It was in 1740 that Louis Bertrand Castel published a criticism of Newton’s spectral description of prismatic color[1] in which he observed that the colors of white light split by a prism depended on the distance from the prism, and that Newton was looking at a special case. It was an argument that Goethe later developed in his Theory of Colors
Roger Joseph Boscovich 18 May 1711 – 13 February 1787) was a Ragusa physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and a polymath from the city of Dubrovnik in the Republic of Ragusa (modern-day Croatia), who studied and lived in Italy and France where he also published many of his works. In 1744 he was ordained to the Roman Catholic priesthood
He produced a precursor of atomic theory and made many contributions to astronomy, including the first geometric procedure for determining the equator of a rotating planet from three observations of a surface feature and for computing the orbit of a planet from three observations of its position. In 1753 he also discovered the absence of atmosphere on the Moon.
Other Jesuit Astronomers of the 1700’s
- Valentin Stansel (1621 – 1705), Czech astronomer in Brazil, who discovered a comet, that after accurate positions were made via F. de Gottignies in Goa, became known as Estancel-Gottignies comet.
- Paolo Casati (1617-1707), Italian scientist, notable in meteorology and speculation on Vacuums.
- Franz Reinzer (1661-1708), Austrian writer who wrote about comets, meteors, lightning, winds, fossils, metals, etc.
- Eusebio Kino (1645 – 1711) Trentino missionary, mathematician, cartographer and astronomer who drew maps based on his explorations first showing that California was not an island as then believed and who published an astronomical treatise in Mexico City based on his observations of the Kirsch Comet.
- Giuseppe Asclepi (1706-1776), Italian astronomer.
- Christian Mayer (1719-1783), Czech astronomer known for his pioneering study of binary stars.
- Roger Joseph Boscovich (1711–1787), an Ragusan Polymath famous for his atomic theory in part. Also for devising perhaps the first geometric procedure for determining the equator of a rotating planet from three observations of a surface feature and for computing the orbit of a planet from three observations of its position.
- João de Loureiro (1717–1791), Portuguese mathematician and botanist active in Cochinchina.
- Maximilian Hell (1720-1792), Hungarian director of the Vienna Observatory who wrote astronomy tables and observed the Transit of Venus.
- Ignacije Szentmartony (1718-1793), Croatian who ‘obtained the title of royal mathematician and astronomer’ and used his astronomical knowledge in mapping parts of Brazil.
Someday someone will write a pathology of experimental physics and bring to light all those swindles which subvert our reason, beguile our judgement and, what is worse, stand in the way of any practical progress. The phenomena must be freed once and for all from their grim torture chamber of empiricism, mechanism, and dogmatism; they must be brought before the jury of man’s common sense.— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The 1822 Treaty of Verona (between Austria, France, Prussia and Russia)
The Jesuits agreed to smash the US Constitution and suppress the freedom of the US. Their methods included destroying free speech, destroying and suppressing the press, universal censorship, sustaining the cooperation of the Pope and clergy to use religion to help keep nations in passive obedience and financing wars against countries with representative governments.
The monarchs who signed this treaty were ultimately deposed. Most of these families are very wealthy and may be more powerful today than when they sat upon thrones. They are known collectively as the Black Nobility. Privately these families refuse to recognize any right to rule except their own. The fact that this treaty was made long ago does not mean it is void. The treaty was placed in the Congressional Record on April 25, 1916 by Senator Owen.(source)
The Treaty of Verona and The Monroe Doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine was a U.S. foreign policy regarding domination of the American continent in 1823. The threat under the secret treaty of Verona to suppress popular governments in the American Republics is the basis of the Monroe doctrine. This secret treaty sets forth clearly the conflict between monarchial government and popular government and the government of the few as against the government of the many.
The Holy Alliance made its powers felt by the wholesale drastic suppression of the press in Europe, by universal censorship, by killing free speech and all ideas of popular rights, and by the complete suppression of popular government.
The Holy Alliance having destroyed popular government in Spain and in Italy, had well-laid plans also to destroy popular government in the American colonies which had revolted from Spain and Portugal in Central and South America under the influence of the successful example of the United States.
It was because of this conspiracy against the American Republics by the European monarchies that the great English statesman, Canning, called the attention of our government to it, and our statesmen then, including Thomas Jefferson, took an active part to bring about the declaration by President Monroe in his next annual message to the Congress of the United States that the United States should regard it as an act of hostility to the government of the United States and an unfriendly act if this coalition or if any power of Europe ever undertook to establish upon the American Continent any control of any American Republic or to acquire any territorial rights.
Fr. Secchi was born in Reggio Emilia, where he studied at the Jesuit gymnasium. At the age of 16, he entered the Jesuit Order in Rome. He continued his studies at the Roman College, and demonstrated great scientific ability. In 1839, he was appointed tutor of mathematics and physics at the College. In 1841, he became Professor of Physics at the Jesuit College in Loreto. In 1844, he began theological studies in Rome, and was ordained a priest on 12 September 1847. In 1848, due to the Roman Revolution, the Jesuits had to leave Rome.
Fr. Secchi spent the next two years in the United Kingdom at Stonyhurst College, and the United States, where he taught for a time at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. He also took his doctoral examination in theology there.
- Nicolas Copernicus estimated The Sun is 3 million miles away
- Johannes Kepler estimated The Sun is 12 million miles away
- Isaac Newton states: “It matters not if its 24 or 56 million miles away, science will find the answer.”
- Current Distance Story: The Sun is 93 million miles away.
In each case, the Sun’s distance from the Earth is just a wild unproven speculation, having nothing to do with any real empirical data.
The Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) is a learned society that began as the Astronomical Society of London in 1820 to support astronomical research (mainly carried on at the time by ‘gentleman astronomers‘ rather than professionals). It became the Royal Astronomical Society in 1831 on receiving its Royal Charter from William IV.
India Gets Astronomy With Help Of Jesuits
G.V. Juggarow Observatory, established in 1840, was the earliest private modern Indian astronomical observatory that functioned till the turn of the twentieth century. Jesuit priest-astronomers were the real initiators of telescopic astronomy in India, particularly Father J. Richaud who carried out systematic observations of binary stars, comets, zodiacal light, dark clouds etc. at Pondicherry from 1689 (Rao et al 1984)
Other 19th Century Jesuit Astronomers
- Franz de Paula Triesnecker (1745-1817), Austrian astronomer.
- Angelo Secchi (1818-1878), Italian astronomer who discovered the existence of solar spicules and drew an early map of Mars.
- Benito Viñes (1837-1893), Spanish scientist who led the Bethlehem College Observatory in Havana and was known as “Father Hurricane” because of his research on hurricanes.
The “consensus” that Catholic faith is somehow opposed to science, and has stifled and restrained it, is a long-held bias based on prejudice and not evidence. At times in the history of science and faith, the truth has been just the other way around.
Big Bang Creationist: Father Georges Lemaitre Schools Einstein
” It was about the Belgian Jesuit priest, mathematician and physicist, Father Georges Lemaitre, originator of the Big Bang theory and the man who changed the mind of Albert Einstein on the true origin of the created Universe.
“The term “Big Bang” was coined by a bitter opponent of the theory: the English astronomer and physicist Fred Hoyle. In 1950, Hoyle gave a series of Saturday night radio talks for the BBC on “The Nature of the Universe.” Detesting the notion that the universe had a beginning, he held a different theory, according to which the universe is eternal. In his concluding talk, Hoyle, striving for a visual image of the theory he opposed, called it “this big bang idea.” The name gradually stuck, without any of the pejorative overtones Hoyle may have intended.”
At the very end of that post, there is a photograph of Father Lemaitre with Albert Einstein who once told Father Lemaitre in response to his theory about the Big Bang, “Your math is perfect, but your physics is abominable.”
Six years later, in 1933, Einstein declared that his own “Cosmological Constant” – his theory that the Universe always existed – was his greatest error, and he called Father Lemaitre’s work “the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation of creation I have ever heard.” For Einstein to use the “C” word – Creation – was a pivotal moment in modern science.
In 1941, he was elected member of the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Belgium, and he received the very first Eddington Medal awarded by the Royal Astronomical Society in 1953.
The story of Fr. Lemaitre’s role in modern cosmology was often stifled by science because he was a Catholic priest.
In January 1933, Lemaître and Einstein, who had met on several occasions—in 1927 in Brussels, at the time of a Solvay Conference, in 1932 in Belgium, at the time of a cycle of conferences in Brussels and lastly in 1935 at Princeton—traveled together to the U.S. state of California for a series of seminars.
Newspapers around the world called him a famous Belgian scientist and described him as the leader of the new cosmological physics.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881–1955), French Paleontologist and philosopher involved in the discovery of the so-called Peking Man. Teilhard was praised by Pope Benedict XVI, and he was also noted for his contributions to theology in Pope Francis‘ 2015 encyclical Laudato si’.
The Michelson-Morley Experiment was the reason for the creation of Albert Einstein!!
Beginning in 1887, U.S. scientist Albert Abraham Michelson began to do experiments to try and detect the motion of the earth around the sun by using the speed of light as a barometer. This experiment was called the Michelson-Morley experiment and was famous for one thing: ALL THE RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE.
Dr. Albert Michelson Dr. Albert Michelson (1852–1931)
Professors Michelson and Morley were the 2 halves of the famous team who conducted experiments on the speed of light. Dr. Albert Michelson used an interferometer for measuring the speed of light. At that time, all scientists believed in the existence of an invisible Aether which carried light waves. They supposed that the ether would cause a drag on the speed of light as the earth raced around the sun at 30 km/s or over 108,000 km per hour. To their astonishment, no variation in the speed of light was found. An interferometer for measuring the motion of the earth around the sun used by Dr. Michelson in 1887. After serving as professor at Clark University at Worcester, Massachusetts, from 1889 until 1892, Michelson was appointed professor and the first head of the department of physics at the newly organized University of Chicago. With his big salary from Rockefeller, and the Nobel Prize money, Michelson was content not to make WAVES about the non-motion of the Earth.
In 1924, Michelson received a huge grant from the university in order to determine the ROTATION of the Earth by using the speed of light. This test consisted of a mile long 12 inch tunnel with all the air removed. As expected, all the results were NEGATIVE.
Send in The Clowns: Jesuit Stooge Albert Einstein
Special Relativity was conjured up by Einstein to explain away The Michelson-Morley Experiment of 1887, which proved that the Earth is not moving in an orbit around the Sun. By 1900, the proof of the non-motion of the earth did not cause Michelson to get on his knees and acknowledge that the Bible was correct after all. Had he and the “scientific” community done so, the whole evolutionary house of sand would have come crashing down. That is the last thing that the Jesuits wanted. Their answer was to use Albert Einstein to invent a completely new theory of the universe called RELATIVITY to fabricate an illusory universe that could not be supported by any real empirical observations. Einstein was the beginning of goofy, nonsensical, hocus pocus science. The entire empirical narrative shifted from the U.S. to Switzerland and an obscure patent clerk in the Swiss Patent Office named Albert Einstein.
More on The Jesuits: Sovereign Military Order of Malta
That’s just an elaborate front… As the name Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) confirms, it is a military order based on the crusader Knights Hospitaller of Jerusalem and is interwoven with Freemasonry. Most people have never even heard of SMOM, much less that it is a part of Freemasonry. But that is the way the aristocratic elite like it.
One of the symbols of the military orders of the Vatican, the masonic double-headed eagle emblazoned with the Maltese cross, signifies omnipotent royal dominion over both East and West. The orb signifies temporal dominion over the globe of Earth, and the scepter signifies control over the spiritual and religious impulses of humanity.
This eagle symbol is used in the masonic rite of Memphis and Misraim, under which it reads, “Order Out of Chaos”, the Hegelian method of crisis creation. It is found on the seals of many European and Eurasian nation states including that of Russia, indicating direct Vatican control over those countries.
Famous Freemasons: More on the Double-headed Eagle and the ‘Redshilds’
The two-headed eagle emblem of the Byzantine Empire (Roman Empire) on a Red Shield was adopted in 1743 by the infamous goldsmith Amschel Moses Bauer. He opened a coin shop in Frankfurt, Germany and hung above his door this Roman eagle on a red shield. The shop became known as the “Red Shield firm”. The German word for ‘red shield’ is Rothschild. After this point, the Rothschilds became the bankers to kings and pontiffs alike, among the richest families in the world. Ever since, they have financed both sides of every major war and revolution using the Hegelian Dialectic to engineer society toward their New World Order.
The Rothschilds and their agents, such as the Rockefellers, have been engineering America and its foreign policy almost since its inception. They and their Skull and Bones Wall Street partners staged and funded both sides in WWII, and out of that hellish nightmare was born their infant global government, the United Nations, and their tool of tyranny, the CIA. The father of the CIA, “Wild Bill” Donovan, was a Knight of Malta. In order to be a director of the CIA you must be a crusading Knight of Malta and it doesn’t hurt if you are a member of Skull and Bones either. In order to reach the highest levels in the Pentagon establishment, you must be an illuminated Freemason and/or a Knight of one order or another. Notable US military members of SMOM include top crusading generals such as Alexander Haig, William Westmoreland, and Charles A. Willoughby, an admitted Fascist.

- Blackwater/Academia/Xe and the Knights of Malta Connection
Former Pentagon Inspector General Joseph Edward Schmitz quit in 2005 to work for Blackwater. He is a member of Opus Dei and Knights of Malta. At least $2 trillion went “missing” from the Pentagon during his watch.
An American investigative journalist compared the US firm Blackwater, the biggest security services provider in post war Iraq, to the Knights of Malta. The company is currently in the midst of a controversy after some of its 20,000 personnel stationed in Iraq killed a number of civilians. In his book, ‘Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army’, Jeremy Scahill links the modern security firm to the Knights of Malta. The writer argues that “Blackwater’s employees… share the same religious zeal of ancient crusaders”, the Egyptian weekly newspaper Al-Ahram reported.
All the top Nazis in our government are connected in some way to the Vatican, Jesuits and Knights of Malta and have been for decades, as were the Italian Fascists and German Nazis of WWII. After all, what was their favorite symbol after the swastika? The Maltese Cross of course! Blackwater/Xe is more than just a “private army”, and much more than just another capitalist war-profiteering business operation.
It is an army operating outside all laws, outside and above the US Constitution and yet is controlled by people within and outside our government whose allegiance is primarily to the foreign Vatican state. In other words, Blackwater/Xe is a religious army serving the Pope in Rome through the Order of Malta, which is itself considered under international law, as a sovereign entity with special diplomatic powers and privileges.
Like Blackwater, the Order of Malta is “untouchable” because it is at the heart of the elite aristocracy. “Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” – President Woodrow Wilson
FBI and CIA Founded by Knights of Malta Gang
Who formed the CIA? It was a Catholic Knight of Malta, William “Wild Bill” Donovan. He was considered the “father of the CIA.” he was also the former head of the OSS before he was used to create the CIA. Donovan was given an especially prestigious form of knighthood that has only been given to a hundred other men in history Over the years there have been many CIA bosses who were also Knights of Malta and/or Jesuit trained.
It was a powerful Roman Catholic who was also a Knight of Malta and a trustee of The Catholic University of America. Charles Joseph Bonaparte.
“The degree of Knight of Malta is conferred in the United States as “an appendant Order” in a Commandery of Knights Templar.
Harry Truman was put in office by the Jesuits, the Pensergast Democratic machine in Missouri. Harry Truman takes over after FDR’s murder, because he was murdered in the home of Bernard Baruch. When he did that, he then finished up the war with the hoax called the dropping of the nuclear bombs, to purposely create this greater hoax called the Cold War, that would enable the Vatican to knock over country after country after country, and replace the leaders with dictators, subordinate to the Pope. That was the purpose of the Cold War.
And so, when Harry Truman in 1950 signed into law the Emergency War Powers Act, the Cold War was in full force. They were building bomb shelters, etc. So the nation was in kind of a frenzy.
When he signed this into law, it put the whole country under military or martial law, and that’s when the flags in every courtroom, state and federal, began to be changed. And every state flag and every U.S. flag is now trimmed in gold fringe. And whenever you see a flag trimmed in gold fringe, that means that it is the flag of the Commander-in-Chief. Now, if it’s the state flag, it means that’s the flag of the governor, as Commander-in-Chief. And if it’s the federal flag, or the national flag, more correctly, it’s the flag of the Commander-in-Chief in Washington.
So, all your courts are nothing more than courts of military rule. They all proceed with summary procedures. The jury has no power of jury nullification. And they are simply enforcing the laws of the Empire, which I call 14th Amendment America, which is a military-style, King of England-style country. The courts are nothing more than courts of the king’s bench, as you can see in Blackstone’s Commentaries.
And the banks, as you walk into every bank, they all have a flag trimmed in gold fringe. The bank is what England would call, in Blackstone’s day, the king’s bank. So, we have the king’s bank, and we have the king’s bench. And it’s run according to military rule, according to Berkheimer’s great work Military Rule And Martial Law, published in 1914.
When Harry Truman did this, there was a consummation of a great plan to put us under the Emergency War Powers Act and, actually, a war rule. “Daylight savings time” is what was called “war time”. This country only went to daylight savings time during World War II, and they called it, at that time, war time. So, nothing’s changed. We’ve never gone back to not turning back our clocks. We’re still on war time. The income tax is a war tax. It was called a victory tax in 1942.
So, people are paying a war tax, they’re under war time, they’re under an emergency war powers act, and the courts are war courts.

The HELLioSINtrick Delusion and Enclosed Cosmology
Lies Perpetrated on The World by the Jesuit Science Cult
Science is a method of investigation not a religion or belief system.
The Law of Science:
An idea does not become a fact until it has been subjected to experiment and observation ending repeatedly with the same results. An hypothesis is just that; it is an unproven idea with no observable, factual evidence to support it. Much of modern science is in fact pseudo-science unsubstantiated by repeat experiment and based on only hypothetical assumptions or mathematical equations that are enthusiastically but mistakenly taken to be fact or truth! Real Empirical science has been colonized by hypothesis parading as fact! This is not science but something called "Scientism."
Flat Earth and Lies About Evolution
The First Lie:
The universe and everything in it started all by itself with a "Big Bang" from gaseous material that apparently originated from somewhere but no one knows exactly where.
The Liars:
This lie started with George Lemaitre, a Jesuit trained Belgian priest who first proposed his "hypothesis of the primeval atom" or the Big Bang theory in 1927. Every man and woman who has been complicit in pushing the "Big Bang" theory as fact; yes it is only an idea, totally unproven and in the realm of pure fiction!
The Truth:
From this "magical" event (because it is "magic" not science) all the galaxies with their stars, moons and planets suddenly formed and Earth amazingly had all the right ingredients for a very complex biosphere supporting a myriad of very sophisticated life forms from tiny, microscopic bacterium up to dinosaurs and whales the size of small office buildings. Incredibly too, all these creatures were designed to suit their own particular ecosystems from cold to hot and from wet to dry.
Any logical person understands that "something" cannot come from "nothing!" Everything in the world that has been made by human hands was designed first by a human. Intelligent thinking minds create new things but it was God that started it all by designing all life. This doesn't take a lot of thought, yet the evolutionary scientists would have us believe that it was all an accident and furthermore we should believe them simply because they are smart, (they have a science degree) and we don't so we are stupid!
Most magicians produce something from what appears to be nothing but in fact it is sleight of hand tricks (deception) or illusion (clever redirection of the eye) away from subtle hand movements. Some magicians do work with a demonic entity and actually perform impossible supernatural feats of magic. This is where things get a bit blurry but the universe and complex life could not and did not appear from nothing; that is a bare faced lie, a lie created to replace God the creator of complex order and harmony with a counterfeit random chance happening. This lie is an insult to the intelligence of any rational, thinking, questioning mind!
The Second lie:
We live in a heliocentric (Greek, helio = sun/centric = centre) universe where the ball Earth, its moon and planets spin around a ball sun (star) that is also spinning through the Milky Way galaxy at a staggering 72.000 kph (65.000 mph) dragging everything with it.
The Liars:
The Heliocentric (sun centered) universe was based on pagan sun worship not factual evidence. The Roman Catholic church and then the Anglican church both supported and promoted this idea as fact in their schools until many generations later it wasn't even questioned but became mainstream science fact without one shred of evidence. No technology was available at that time that could take someone up into the atmosphere high enough to see the shape of the Earth and proximity of the sun the Earth.
Today, high altitude balloons with cameras verify that the Earth is in fact flat (no curvature) and the sun is very small and close to the Earth, not 93.000.000 miles away.
The Truth:
As far back as the 3rd century BC Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek proposed a heliocentric model in full defiance of what the ancients already knew, which was that the sun and moon were in fact moving around the Earth in a geocentric model where the Earth is stationary. His theory was ignored until the 16th century when Copernicus a Catholic/pagan sun worshipper resurrected again the heliocentric model and it was then backed by the powerful Jesuits and the Roman Catholic Church which also secretly worships the sun. Today this idea is propagated by NASA as the gatekeeper of space knowledge and taught at every level of education in schools around the world by science teachers and scientists as fact or "truth" when in fact it is fiction.
The Third Lie:
The Earth is a round globe/ball planet and spins through space at a fantastic speed of 67.000 mph with its moon also spinning around it while in an elliptical orbit around a ball sun in parallel to a number of other globe/ball shaped planets and their moons.
The liars:
All those men and women that push the spinning "ball" Earth idea as fact to children in schools, museums and science education forums all over the world without a shred of evidence. Yes, the ball Earth is hearsay/hypothetical. No one has ever seen it from so called "deep" space because space travel is a lie and no one has been or can go into deep space.
The Truth:
In order to establish the true shape of the Earth it is necessary to travel high enough to see enough of it at a distance. Only then could its true shape be accurately determined. This did not happen until May 27, 1931 when August Piccard a Belgian/Swiss scientist flew with another scientist Paul Kipfer in a hot air balloon to a height of 25.4276352 meters from where he made this observation. Remember, this had never been done before by anyone! Listen to what he said as recorded in Popular Science magazine at that time.
An article in Popular Science in August 1931 described their journey:
"The story of their adventure surpasses fiction. During the ascent, the aluminum ball began to leak. They plugged it desperately with Vaseline and cotton waste, stopping the leak. In the first half hour, the balloon shot upward nine miles. Through portholes, the observers saw the earth through copper-colored, then bluish, haze. It seemed a flat disk with upturned edge. At the ten mile level the sky appeared a deep, dark blue. With observations complete, the observers tried to descend, but couldn't. While their oxygen tanks emptied, they floated aimlessly over Germany, Austria, and Italy. Cool evening air contracted the balloon's gas and brought them down on a glacier near Ober-Gurgl, Austria, with one hour's supply of oxygen to spare."
Yes, he observed a flat disk with an upturned edge.
Not a round ball.
Balls don't have any edges.
Yes, the Earth is flat.
This account by one of the world’s leading pioneer atmospheric scientists has all but been deleted by the world media mafia who control the material allowed into school textbook publications. Children are not taught about Piccard and his scientific observations because the education controllers want children to believe in the false "ball" Earth in order to perpetuate the heliocentric system, the idea of an infinitely expanding universe and ultimately the lie of "panspermia" and the visitation to Earth by aliens. Many people today believe exactly this!
The Fourth Lie:
There is a force called "Gravity" that causes all things to adhere to the spinning "ball" Earth.
The Liars:
Anyone who promotes the idea of "gravity" but can't show evidence by experiment that it actually exists.
The Truth:
Gravity was the idea Isaac Newton came up with to explain how it was possible for a heliocentric system to function with spinning ball planets. Unfortunately, even after hundreds of pages of mathematical doodling he never did explain how it could work and no one else has since. No one!
Gravity is another convenient fiction used by the science cult to support and maintain the idea of a spinning ball Earth that hurtles through space around the sun at 67.000 mph whilst spinning itself at 1000 mph at the equator. In addition to these mind boggling speeds our solar system supposedly is hurtling also through the Milky Way at 470.000 mph! Incredibly with all this violent centrifugal motion there is no effect felt by anyone on the Earth!
Yet, we are supposed to believe that because of this magical force called gravity nothing flies off into space or is displaced on the Earth. Huge oceans in the north don't run downhill, people walk upside down in the south but apparently don't know they are doing this and don't fall off the ball because gravity magically holds them in place.
Gravity is the magical glue that holds the ball Earth lie together and amazingly, few people even question this monstrous absurdity. In reality, a flat Earth doesn't need gravity because everything is contained on a large flat disk-like plane (flat surface = static) and the edge is ringed by a huge ice wall. This Earth does not move nor does it need to as the sun, moon and stars move around it instead! The laws of motion, magnetism and mass explain perfectly how the flat Earth functions
The ball Earth (planet = wanderer = dynamic) reality is a diabolical deception enabling those in control to perpetrate their infinite universe (space) illusion, end time alien visitation and finally the enslavement of humanity!
* Please visit Richard Kallberg's website The Narrow Gate below, for an excellent, easy to follow explanation of the false, "Theory of Gravity."
The Fifth Lie:
All life on Earth originated spontaneously from a primordial "soup" sometime after the Big Bang and mindlessly, randomly evolved from inert matter into complex creatures over billions of years.
The Liars:
Anyone teaching or promoting this pseudo-science "religious" world view in education, science and media!
The Truth:
The universe demonstrates tremendous complexity in design which wasn't the result of a spontaneous, mindless eruption of matter from nothing. Sir Fred Hoyle using a DNA model, stated that he had calculated the chances of spontaneous life at 10\40.000 which any honest scientist today acknowledges mathematical "impossibility."
The evolutionist must first "assume" the existence of prebiotic oceans, then the existence of peptides that somehow replicate millions of times in the right sequential combinations over who knows how many millions or hundreds of millions of years until bingo, organic life materializes of its own accord!
Unimaginable periods of time are dreamt up (assumed) by evolutionists to give their theories an aura of legitimacy. The magic element is time; with enough time anything can happen. The problem is ... there is no evidence to back up all these fantastic claims. Evolution requires a lot of faith on the part of its adherents, yes, faith because evolution is in fact a religion. This false science religion is attempting to usurp the place of intelligent design (ID) or creationism which can actually cite an ancient text about the method explaining exactly how God designed the universe and everything in it pretty much as we see it today in 6 twenty four hour Earth days as recorded in the Bible.
Look closely and see how perfectly every living thing in nature has been created and coexists within their unique environments and it's impossible to conclude that it's just the result of accident or magic!
The Sixth Lie:
All scientists believe in/support random spontaneous abiogenesis and evolution.
The Liars:
Most science publications, organizations today are owned and controlled by the Roman Catholic Church media conglomerates so they only promote "evolution" and those who support this view. Most science departments in schools and universities everywhere also teach evolution only. This kind of control over the media and education pretty much censors oppositional views and ensures the continuation of a fascist system of control over ideas that are acceptable to it and political correctness in the approach to research and learning.
The Truth:
There are thousands of scientists today who do not hold to the "evolutionary" view of "origins." These people cannot or will not speak out under threat of losing their jobs/positions etc. The result is the public believes that the majority hold to the "evolution" consensus when this is untrue. Dr. Jerry Bergman has compiled a list of 3,000 “Darwin Skeptics,” including about a dozen Nobel Prize winners.
Bergman has a private list of about 1,000 names of persons who do not want their names on a public list “because of real concerns over possible retaliation or harm to their careers.” Bergman says, “I estimate that, if I had the time and resources, I could easily complete a list of over 10,000 names” (“Darwin Skeptics: A Select List of Science Academics, Scientists, and Scholars Who Are Skeptical of Darwinism,” Aug. 24, 2014).
This is a result of the Darwinists who act like howler monkeys and Nazi SS troopers to try to stomp out every vestige of “creationism” from the field of science.
The Seventh Lie:
Since 1957 rockets have carried animals and humans into outer space many times!
This may well be the biggest conspiracy in the history of man!!!!!
The Liars:
The scientific establishment led by NASA including every other international space agency and all those who support and teach their agenda of lies and misinformation.
The Truth:
No rocket has ever been in space! Never. The Earth is in an enclosed dome called the "firmament" located about 180 km high. No rocket has ever penetrated this barrier which was discovered by the elites around 1954. Once discovered, they tried to break through many times with nuclear missiles but were unsuccessful.
Rockets were designed by the NWO as weapons of war to kill large numbers of people and to perpetuate the hoax of the future evolutionary migration of man to the stars while providing the perfect cover to steal billions of dollars of taxpayer funded government grants for the space program. NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration) has been the perfect smokescreen by which to keep people deluded about reality. All rockets take off and then go into a long curved trajectory and finally ditch into the ocean far out of sight of any viewer.
No astronaut/human is ever on board. Every space mission is filmed carefully on Earth using special airplanes, deep water tanks, special lighting and CGI to be used as propaganda to give the appearance or "illusion" that astronauts are in space.
It's pure theatre and spectacle for the "unquestioning" dumb public and the biggest con in history in order to keep up the myth about space travel to the stars! The Hollywood movie/propaganda machine is fully complicit with NASA in maintaining this incredible lie.
This fake space program worldwide may well be the biggest lie because it has fundamentally shifted human perception/consciousness into a deceptive reality of epic proportions on Earth.
The Eighth Lie:
Global warming is real and increasing and human activity is the cause.
The Liars:
All those who work for, support and fund organizations like the IPCC and NASA who perpetuate a lie by presenting skewed climate data and fictitious facts not based on real science.
The Truth:
Since the late 70's the US government in conjunction with other world bodies like the UN have been implementing geo-engineering programs in order to control the Earth's weather. There are now 62.500 WSAC, wet surface air cooling facilities across the world pumping steam/moisture into the atmosphere 24/7 generating artificial clouds and manmade storms. Airplanes are spraying chemtrails across the world in order to block out the sun and metallize the atmosphere. In conjunction with NexRad radar technology and HAARP ionospheric heating those in control can steer weather to where they want it at any time. Natural weather doesn't occur any more... it's all man made. These agencies have created all the climate problems. Why? They create the problem, (action) then sound the alarm and create panic (reaction) and finally they offer everyone their (solution). The solution always results in changing laws and loss of freedoms. Using weather modification and control the elites have "weaponized" weather and can direct it to destroy any location, as they see fit.
The Ninth Lie:
Genetically modified organisms (GMO's) aren't dangerous and pose no real threat to life on Earth!
The Liars:
Every politician, businessman, scientist or media agent who knowingly suppresses the true results of trials or refuses to trial GMO's to establish the full extent of the dangers to Earth's ecosystems and all natural organisms within it!
The Truth:
The aggression and deceitfulness exhibited by multinational corporations in developing and marketing GMO products for profit beggars belief! The ongoing record of attempts to avoid testing completely or to cover up the true results of trials indicates the depth of the sinister agenda to first pollute and then control the worlds food supplies. Companies like Bayer/Monsanto or Syngenta working behind the scenes are trying to bring in laws that would make it illegal for individuals to grow their own food. Already they have orchestrated a plan in a number of countries to force farmers to buy sterile seed that will grow only once from them before every planting.
These seeds have been engineered to grow resistant to herbicides like glyphosate (Roundup) manufactured and sold by these same companies. The farmer gets locked into an arrangement with these companies with no way out. The herbicides inhibit weeds for a while but then the weeds become resistant and increasing amounts of chemicals are required to perform the same function. These GMO seeds are also resistant to the application of neonicotinoid pesticides which are now linked to the death of millions of bees and other pollinating insects. These companies make massive profits both ways through seed/plant and chemical sales and attempt to eliminate all natural cultivation of food crops. It is still unknown what the effect will be on the natural environment once these GMO agents spread into the natural environment!
Effectively the food chain is being polluted or broken and the environment damaged beyond repair. Worse yet, there is now very strong evidence that people around the world have increasing levels of glyphosate and other toxic chemical residues which are known carcinogens in their bodies. Is this part of the New World Order secret government plan to de-populate the world by poisoning the food supplies everywhere?
GMO organisms whether plant or animal when eaten are a dire threat not only to human existence but all life on Earth!!
The Tenth Lie:
Chemical additives like fluoride and chlorine to drinking water supplies aren't harmful to human health but beneficial to stopping tooth decay!
The Liars:
The politicians and national and international health agencies that have forced legislation mandating fluoridated water for 25 countries worldwide including the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand affecting 377,655,000 people as of 2012.
The Truth:
Both fluoride and chlorine are toxic nerve agents that "kill" any living organism exposed to them in pure form. Fourteen countries in Europe as well as India and Egypt have outlawed their use because intensive testing has revealed the dangers and risks associated with long term use far outweighing any benefits. Fluorine/sodium fluoride is a waste byproduct of aluminum smelting and is a known 'carcinogen' increasing the risk of bone cancer in males by 600%. The claim that fluoride prevents tooth decay was proven fallacious in 1953 yet the USA still imposes fluoride on its citizens drinking water. Chlorine is known to increase colon, rectal and bladder cancer by 20 to 40% if consumed over extended periods. The risk of water-borne diseases so prevalent 70 years ago does not exist today due to advanced water treatment technology so the continued use of chlorine is unwarranted and hazardous to long term health.
The real purpose for the persistent imposed use of these 2 toxins in water is far more sinister as the real beneficiary is the world pharmaceutical manufacturing complex ie; Big Pharma. This business stands to make trillions of dollars from the sick and diseased population as the long term effects of these toxins starts to kick in. Corrupt government + Big Pharma = criminal complicity. This is the "real" reason these chemicals continue to be foisted on a "dumbed" down and "unwitting" population who "trust" their government and question nothing!
The Eleventh Lie:
There are thousands of manmade satellites orbiting the Earth and or traversing the solar system!
The Liars:
NASA and all international space agencies and media groups which are complicit in perpetuating the great space hoax! Also, every scientist and teacher who teaches the public that satellites exist.
The Truth:
There are no satellites in space! Zero! None! It's all a con to make money from a fake aerospace industry and a duped public. Satellites are also a perfect way to perpetuate the ball Earth fraud. When so called pictures of space from the fake ISS International Space Station are released there are no satellites in sight. Never!
There are supposed to be thousands of satellites orbiting the Earth but they are never seen in space pictures. This is impossible! One website i checked said there were 4077 another site claimed there were 1071 and another site said 2271. Really! Why the huge discrepancy? It's because they DON'T know the truth!
Satellites are the best way to maintain the space hoax because it's a cheaper program and less danger of someone talking. Sending satellites to other planets and their moons or beyond our solar system keeps the myth of space travel alive in the minds of the unsuspecting public in awe of the fake space programs and "space technology." Rest assured though, every employee of the space program is either unsuspecting or maintaining the charade and every astronaut that claims to have gone into space has been thoroughly programmed to lie about his space activity.
Imagine all the people who bought satellite data services if they knew it was all a sham! It would be hard to imagine the money that's been made from this fake technology by fake businesses. Find it hard to fathom? Try returning a satellite dish and equipment at the end of your contract and they'll tell you to keep it! Why? It's useless to them and they don't want to be implicated in any paperwork for legal reasons that's why!
All data, communications and GPS goes through submarine cables and transmission towers around the world. It is all land/ocean based! If you find it difficult to believe, check out the submarine cable system around the world which they continue to upgrade and expand. Why do this? Check out the land based tower system around the world and see how it is continuously being expanded. Why do this? There are no satellites in space, that's why! The CLOUD is in the ocean.
Satellites are almost the perfect deception because it is hard to check the facts in order to expose the sham and people really want to believe in SPACE!
The Twelfth Lie:
An alien UFO crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 and is being kept secret by the US government!
The Liars:
The NWO and US government personnel as well as every person that has continued to suggest in documentaries, videos, books and other media programs there is a top secret coverup about UFO's and extra-terrestrial aliens!
The Truth:
Roswell and Area 51 are now the stuff of a cultural myth that has been engrained in the psyche of all Americans! The facts are: something crashed there, something was retrieved quickly by the military and the rest is conjecture!
Roswell is an early psyop program targeted at a curious public by the US industrial military complex with the intention to deceive many. I personally do believe some kind of craft crashed there either accidentally or deliberately and that a few people were allowed to see something. Then everything was hushed up. Perfect! If there ever was an effective event staged to get people to believe in extra-terrestrial life then this is it! I'm pretty sure there is secret work going on at Area 51 and it might even involve developing advanced UFO type flying machines. If so, it's all designed to deceive the populace into believing that aliens are visiting Earth.
For a wicked government wanting a way of creating fear and uncertainty in order to deceive people at a future date Roswell was the perfect set up. However, there are no aliens coming from outer space! The increase in UFO sightings are a combination of the US military flying advanced machines and supernatural demonic manifestations that have the appearance of UFO's. People can't tell the difference between them. These events are geared strategically for maximum effect. The people behind this program have one goal; make it look real!
The NWO propaganda factory Hollywood has also really been hyping people, churning out many sci fi space movies over the last 40 years and it's all predictive programming being done on the minds of people worldwide on a mass scale like never before in history.
The sad part is, if you ask people almost anywhere in the world do they believe in UFO's or extra-terrestrial life they will say, yes! Decades of lies and propaganda are producing the desired effect everywhere. A belief in alien visitation to Earth!
The Thirteenth Lie:
In 1969 three American astronauts landed on the Moon and returned to Earth!
The Liars:
The American government, NASA, Hollywood, the three astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and everyone else who continues to propagate this fake space mission as truth!
The Truth:
No one went to the Moon in 1969! This conspiracy was the most hyped hoax event of the 20th century and as clever as it was, the people behind it made many mistakes revealing their ineptitude and deception. First of all, no rocket can leave the Earth because of the impenetrable dome or "firmament" protecting it. Secondly, no one can land on the Moon because it is a flat disc. Thirdly, even if they had wanted to, rocket and computer technology weren't advanced enough in 1969 to have made a mission like that! Finally, rocket jet engines don't function in a vacuum which has also been proven. When the atmosphere disappears, there is nothing against which the engine can thrust. Jet engines can only work while in Earth’s atmosphere!
The whole mission was staged on a mock Moon film set with special lighting somewhere in Huntsville, Alabama USA by the film director Stanley Kubrick. There are so many videos and websites showing the many flaws in the Apollo 11 films. Some film and video experts have spent decades examining all the details and on the basis of all the discrepancies, there is no doubt in my mind ... no one has ever gone to the Moon or ever will.
The Moon landing was a propaganda coup d’état by the US government which succeeded in perpetuating the massive space hoax and ball Earth deception by NASA. The ordinary man on the street simply has no way of verifying or disproving information the government is feeding him.
That's exactly, what NASA and the Jesuits are depending on, to maintain the world deception!
The Fourteenth Lie:
Carbon-14 and other forms of radiometric dating are accurate!
The Liars:
International science bodies such as NASA funded and controlled by the Jesuits and all scientists who continue to propagate lies about the accuracy of long age dating methods based on "assumptions."
The Truth:
It is an established fact that Carbon-14 dating is useable up to 10.000 years after which it simply isn't viable. All other methods of long age dating are also not viable due to ASSUMPTIONS made about radioactive and mineral/gas elements. ALL dates are determined, based on the "FIELD RELATIONSHIPS" of rocks and "INTERPRETATIONS" based on "radioactive decay," which are in turn based on prior evolutionary "BELIEFS" the scientist holds that the Earth is very "OLD" because it "LOOKS" old. Other methods such as potassium-argon dating, luminescence dating, Chlorine-36 dating, fission track dating, uranium-thorium dating, rubidium-strontium dating, samarium-neodymium dating and uranium-lead dating are also used with the same prior assumptions so are also ineffective in arriving at a "correct" conclusion!
Radiometric dating is all guesswork dressed up cleverly in science jargon and presented as "FACT."
The Fifteenth Lie:
Vaccines are implemented to save lives and pose no threat to human health!
The Liars:
The world health bodies such as WHO set up and funded by the Jesuits, multi-national pharmaceutical companies and all scientists and doctors who propagate the lie that "vaccinations" prevent disease and "save" lives!
The Truth:
The truth is that vaccinations are extremely "dangerous" and intended to compromise health in the short and long term for the purpose of creating a growing "patient" base to which BIG PHARMA then can market their "cures" in the form of synthetic drugs. Vaccinations "kill" many people but this information is suppressed by the media and laws protect the perpetrators from any "culpability" in those deaths.
The "idea" of vaccinating against smallpox goes back as far as China 1000 CE. The practice of deliberately "introducing" live bacterial agents into the body to enable it to "fight" that disease was practiced in different ways over the centuries. There are reports of "experiments" being done throughout history on defenseless children, i.e. Orphans, the "vulnerable" poor and destitute and men serving in the military. Vaccinations are not intended to "help" people but to "injure" people and kill them. It is a biological weapon being used as part of the "de-population" agenda of the elites and the New World Order.
The human "immune system" is remarkably robust and able to fend off and destroy most invasive agents in the human body. Problems with health are almost "always" encountered because of poor hygiene, diet and polluted water. Quite simply, aside from homicide, war or accidents, people always die because of "poverty." The myth that the human immune system requires "help" is a total "fabrication" by pseudo-science experts intent on gaining "control" over individual "health" thus compromising "freedom" and "life" itself!
Reading a list of ingredients in any vaccine is like reading a "horror" story as they contain "metals" such as aluminum and "chemicals" such as formaldehyde known "carcinogens" which cause serious effects on the human brain and other organs. Many young children have received as many as 60 vaccinations by the age of 5 and the dramatic rise in "autism" and deaths over the last 20 years corresponds directly with the increase in the number of vaccinations.
The media never reports the thousands of deaths due to vaccination programs forced on the people by the WHO in countries like India and in many countries in Africa. All news of vaccine fatalities is censured or discredited by the Jesuit controlled media worldwide. In fact, the Jesuit media attempts at every opportunity to viciously defame, discredit and kill any individual or organization that attempts to reveal the truth about the real purpose behind the NWO agenda! "vaccine"
The Sixteenth Lie:
The denial for more than 30 years by official agencies of a chemtrail and weather manipulation program being conducted worldwide and the just recent claim "it is happening" (operation solar shield) but is necessary in order to mitigate the dangers of "manmade" climate change!
The Liars:
All international climate organizations such as the IPCC and all government agencies and scientists complicit in the chemtrail spraying and weather manipulation program.
The Truth:
We now know that as early as 1971 world governing agencies instituted a program of weather control for the purpose of harnessing and controlling it in order to wage "warfare" against humanity! This is not some farfetched fiction story although it seems almost unimaginable. It is now documented that WSAC facilities (wet surface air coolers) began to be built in the early 70's and now number 62.500 steam/vapor manufacturing installations around the world. Together with HAARP (high altitude auroral research project) and advanced NexRad radar installations and chemtrail spraying of dangerous heavy metals like aluminum, barium, strontium and other toxic agents over all major cities, weather is now manipulated by and under human control. Clouds are now "created" and "steered" to "targets" at the will of the agency planning all weather events. Severe droughts and storms are generated in order to control (engineer) human lives. The "elites" controlling the weather are playing "GOD" and inflicting misery and destruction deliberately and malevolently upon whomever they target. Most disasters over the last 30 years at least have been generated by "controlled" weather.
The truth IS, the Jesuit controlled world agencies controlling the weather have BLAMED humanity for so called "global warming" when they are responsible for "creating" it. Puppets like Al Gore have fear mongered the world inflicting undeserved "guilt" on a humanity "innocent" of any CLIMATE CRIME in order to change "LAWS" and socially engineer "whole" societies effectively stripping away all God-given freedoms and imposing "FASCIST" systems of control! Using weather "against" humanity with impunity they "destroy" millions of innocent lives through very powerful "freak" weather events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves (tsunami,) heatwaves, drought and even volcanic eruptions.

Can DNA Prove the Existence of an Intelligent Designer?
In the growing movement known as intelligent design, Stephen Meyer is an emerging figurehead. A young, Cambridge-educated philosopher of science, Meyer is director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute — intelligent design’s primary intellectual and scientific headquarters. He’s also author of Signature in the Cell, a provocative new book that offers the first comprehensive DNA-based argument for intelligent design.
On May 14, Meyer gave a lecture at an event hosted by Biola's Christian apologetics program in Chase Gymnasium, where he made his case that the origin of the information needed to create the first cell must have came from an intelligent designer. Biola Magazine sat down with Meyer while he was at Biola and asked him to elaborate on evolution, the scientific merit of the theory of intelligent design and the uncanny similarities between DNA and computer programming.
When it comes to evolution, what type of evolution do you agree with and what type do you deny?
Well, evolution can have several different meanings. It can mean change over time, or it can mean that all organisms share a common ancestor such that the history of life looks like the great branching tree that Darwin used to depict the history of life. Or it can mean that a purely undirected process — namely natural selection acting on random mutations — has produced all the change that has occurred over time. I think small-scale microevolution is certainly a real process. I’m skeptical about the second meaning of evolution — the idea of universal common descent, that all organisms share a common ancestry.
I think the fossil record rather shows that the major groups of organisms originated separately from one another. But that’s not what the theory of intelligent design (ID for short) is mainly challenging. We’re challenging the third meaning of evolution, and that’s where we kind of go to the mat. We do not think that a purely undirected mechanism has produced every appearance of design that we see in nature or in biology. So I’m skeptical of that third meaning, sometimes called macroevolution, where we’re really talking about the mechanism of natural selection and mutation. My book, Signature in the Cell, is actually about an even prior question, which is the origin of the first life, sometimes explained by a theory called chemical evolution. That’s the main target of my own research. I’m showing that that doesn’t work at all. For example, I don’t think there’s any evolutionary account for how you get from molecules to cells.
How old do you think the universe is?
I tend to think it’s old. About 4.6 billion years. I tend to think humans are pretty recent, however.
Do you affirm the Big Bang?
I think the Big Bang is a good theory, and I think it actually has theistic implications. It establishes, along with the field equations of general relativity, that there was a singular beginning to the universe, in which both time and space begin.
One of the big unanswered questions you see in the theory of evolution concerns the origin of the information needed to build the first living thing. How do the Darwinists answer that question?
Many people don’t realize it, but Darwin did not solve, or even attempt to solve, the question of the origin of the first life. He was trying to explain how you got new forms of life from simpler forms. In the 19th century, this was a question very few scientists addressed. The standard theory in the 20th century was proposed by a Russian scientist named Alexander Oparin who envisioned a complex series of chemical reactions that gradually increased the complexity of the chemistry involved, eventually producing life as we know it. That was the standard theory, but it started to unravel in 1953 with the discovery of the structure of DNA and its information-bearing properties, and with everything we were learning about proteins and what I call the “information processing centers” in the cell, the way the proteins were processing the information on the DNA. Oparin tried to adjust his theory to account for these new discoveries, but by the mid-60s it was pretty much a spent force. Ever since, people have been trying to come up with something to replace it, and there really has been nothing that has been satisfactory. That’s one of the things the book does. It surveys the various attempts and shows that in each case, the theories have a common problem: They can’t explain the origin of the information in DNA and RNA. There are other problems as well, but that’s the main problem.
What would be your main argument for the evidence of intelligent design in the cell?
Well, the main argument is fairly straightforward. We now know that what runs the show in biology is what we call digital information or digital code. This was first discovered by [James] Watson and [Francis] Crick. In 1957, Crick had an insight which he called “The Sequence Hypothesis,” and it was the idea that along the spine of the DNA molecule there were four chemicals that functioned just like alphabetic characters in a written language or digital characters in a machine code. The DNA molecule is literally encoding information into alphabetic or digital form. And that’s a hugely significant discovery, because what we know from experience is that information always comes from an intelligence, whether we’re talking about hieroglyphic inscription or a paragraph in a book or a headline in a newspaper. If we trace information back to its source, we always come to a mind, not a material process. So the discovery that DNA codes information in a digital form points decisively back to a prior intelligence. That’s the main argument of the book.
Your book talks a lot about information and you find parallels between a software program and our DNA. Do you think the ideas in your book about programming and programmers would even have been conceivable to readers trying to understand intelligent design a generation ago?
That’s a great question. I think the digital revolution in computing has made it much easier to understand what’s happening in biology. We know from experience that not only software but the information processing system and design strategies that software engineers use to process and store and utilize information are not only being used in digital computing but they’re being used in the cell. It’s the same basic design logic, but it’s executed with an 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 efficiency. It’s an elegance that far surpasses our own. It’s a new day in biology. It’s a digital revolution. We have digital nanotechnology running the show inside cells. It’s exquisitely executed and suggests a preeminent mind.
What is “specified complexity” and how does it play into your argument?
It just refers to strings of characters that need to be arranged in a very precise way in order to perform a function. If they are arranged in a precise way such that they perform a function, they are not just complex but specified in its complexity. The arrangement is specified to perform a function.
I’ve heard the argument that the likelihood of specific genetic instructions to build a protein falling into place would be like a bunch of Scrabble letters falling on a table and spelling out a few lines of Hamlet. But couldn’t you just say that the chances of winning the lottery are also very slim, but someone usually does get lucky? What if the universe forming was just the proverbial “lottery winning”?
But there are some lotteries where the odds of winning are so small that no one will win. And that’s the situation of trying to build new proteins or genes from random arrangements of the subunits of those molecules. The amount of information required is so vast that the odds of it ever happening by chance are miniscule. I make the calculations in the book. There’s a point at which chance hypotheses are no longer credible, and we’ve long since gone past that point when we’re talking about the origin of the information necessary for life.
Some have criticized ID as being primarily a negative enterprise, denying things but not really offering scientifically convincing alternative. In a recent Christianity Today article, Karl Giberson said that ID advocates should “stop trying to prove that Darwin caused the Holocaust or that evolution is ruining Western civilization. … Instead, roll up your sleeves and get to work on the big idea. Develop it to the point where it starts spinning off into new insights into nature so that we know more because of your work.” How do you respond to this?
Well, we are doing this. What Giberson isn’t doing is reading our work. In the back of Signature in the Cell I lay out the research program of ID and an appendix that develops 10 key predictions that the theory makes. There’s a new journal called BIO-Complexity that is investigating the heuristic fruitfulness of intelligent design. It’s testing the theory, looking at papers that generate predictions based on the theory, publishing papers that are developing new lines of research based on the theory.
To the point that it’s mainly a negative enterprise — that is completely incorrect. ID is proposing an alternative explanation of life. It’s not just criticizing Darwin or criticizing chemical evolution; it’s proposing a contrary explanation and in light of that explanation, developing a number of important hypotheses that can be tested in a laboratory.
Do you ever tire of having to defend the scientific legitimacy of ID?
The thing that is most frustrating is that people seem to feel comfortable making comments about our work without even knowing what it is. The characterizations or criticisms of ID often bear no resemblance to what is actually being done, said, researched or written. There have been any number of reviews of my book that were clearly written by people who hadn’t even read it. ID is an idea that some people think they can attack without impunity, because it is so disreputable.
John Walton, an Old Testament professor at Wheaton College, said this about ID in his recent book on Genesis: “Science is not capable of exploring a designer or his purposes. It could theoretically investigate design but has chosen not to by the parameters it has set for itself. … Therefore, while alleged irreducible complexities and mathematical equations and probabilities can serve as a critique for the reigning paradigm, empirical science would not be able to embrace Intelligent Design because science has placed an intelligent designer outside of its parameters as subject to neither empirical verification nor falsification.” Do you agree with this?
I think it’s strange that a biblical scholar would weigh in on the definition of science. His definition of science doesn’t work. Science often infers things that can’t be seen based on things that can be seen. Darwinism does that. In physics, we talk about quarks and all sorts of elementary particles. We don’t see those. They’re inferred by things we can see. I don’t think his concept of science comports with the experience of scientists. Direct verification is not a standard that separates science from any other discipline. It’s also an odd thing for a biblical scholar to say, because the biblical witness is that from the things that are made, St. Paul says, the attributes of God are clearly manifest, and one of his attributes is intelligence. So why should it be surprising that if we look at things carefully and reason about their origins, that we would come to the conclusion that a designing intelligence had indeed played a role in their origin?
It seems like the idea or inference of anything supernatural scares scientists away. Do you agree?
Well, all we are inferring is intelligence. Whether it is supernatural or natural is a matter for further deliberation. I don’t even like the term “supernatural.” I think the better philosophical distinction is between transcendent and immanent. Are we talking about an intelligence within the cosmos or an intelligence that is in some way beyond it? And that’s a theological distinction. I think it is possible to reason about that, and whether you call it a philosophical deliberation or not, it doesn’t really matter. All the theory of intelligent design is doing is establishing that intelligence was responsible for certain features of life. We recognize intelligence all the time, and we have scientific methods for it. If you’re an archaeologist and you’re looking at the Rosetta Stone, are you duty-bound to continue looking for naturalistic explanations even though you know full well that wind and erosion and everything else you can imagine is not capable of making those inscriptions? No, you’re not. You really ought to conclude the obvious, which is that a scribe was involved. There was an intelligence behind it.
But then, doesn’t the inquiry become one of history rather than science?
It’s historical science. That’s what my Ph.D. dissertation was about and it’s part of what I defend in the book. That’s what Darwin was doing. He was doing an historical science — attempting to infer the causes of an event in the remote past. There’s a scientific method by which you can do that which addresses questions of past causation. Sciences such as archeology, geology, paleontology, cosmology are concerned with those kinds of questions. Intelligent design is using the same sort of scientific methods that these sciences are using.
People are hung up on how to classify intelligent design. But how you classify a theory is not all that important. Whether it’s science, religion, philosophy, history — why can’t it be all four? I think Darwinian biology is certainly science, certainly history, and certainly has larger metaphysical and philosophical implications. Nature and the world do not present us with tidy categorical distinctions.
Why do you think scientists are so adamant that the admission of a metaphysical, teleological explanation of the universe would undermine the practice of science? If such a thing could be shown to be provable, or even just probable, shouldn’t it excite the scientific mind? I think of a scientist as being in awe of the wonder of the world.
It’s a very astute question. The origin of modern science was spawned by scientists who had precisely this sort of awe. They were in the main Christians who believed that science was possible because nature was intelligible. It could be understood and comprehended by rational minds such as ourselves because it had been designed by a rational mind in the first place — that God had put into nature order and design and discernable pattern. That’s what made it possible to do the hard work of looking at things and then eventually discerning that there was a pattern. Kepler said that scientists have the high calling of “thinking God’s thoughts after him.” Design was part of the foundational assumption of modern science. Scientists assumed that nature was designed, and that’s why they could do science. Now roll the clock forward 300 years and you have scientists saying that if we allow a design hypothesis in any realm of science, even if we’re talking about something like the origin of the first life, that we are undermining the very foundation of science. In fact, we’re getting back to the very foundation of science and to that awe and wonder that was the inspiration for the whole enterprise.
There are many evangelical Christian scientists who disagree with you — even people familiar with genetics and DNA, such as Francis Collins. On what points do you agree with someone like Collins, and at what points do you disagree?
There are a number of points on which I agree with Collins. He says that he’s against intelligent design, but he actually makes arguments for intelligent design in The Language of God. He says intelligent design is the best explanation for the fine-tuning of the laws of physics and chemistry. He also argues that the moral sense of humans cannot be explained by undirected processes. Collins denounces ID as a “God of the gaps” argument or an argument from ignorance, but yet he’s making arguments for intelligent design based on physics. I think he sees theistic implications from the Big Bang, and I agree with that. Where we differ is that he wants to hold out for a materialistic explanation of the origin of life, and I think he thinks that Darwinian evolution is sufficient to account for new forms of life. One of the things I’ve been asking Collins to clarify, as a theistic evolutionist, is what he means by evolution. Which of those three meanings of evolution does he affirm? Change over time, common ancestry? I know he affirms those. But what about the third meaning? The idea that the evolutionary process is purely blind and unguided. I had a chance to ask him personally: Is the evolutionary process directed or undirected? He paused, and responded, “It could be directed.” If he says it is directed, he’s got a problem because he’s breaking with the dominant materialist view of the scientific establishment. If he says it’s undirected, then he’s going to lose his influence with the evangelical Christian church, which he’s desperately trying to influence. If he says that evolution is essentially undirected, that’s not consistent with the biblical view he espouses. Instead, it’s a form a deism in which nature is doing all the work and God is either absent or just watching from the mezzanine.
What is the most compelling argument that you’ve come across from your opponents? What do you think is the hardest thing to overcome from your position?
I think one of the strongest challenges to intelligent design has always been the observation of things in nature that are not going well or don’t look like they were intelligently designed. In the book I have a section on pathogens and virulents. There have been these horrific diseases in the history of life — like the plague. People ask me, “Do you really want to say the plague was intelligently designed by God?” And as Christian and a design theorist, of course I don’t want to say that. So there are then three options to respond to this, sometimes called the problem of natural evil.
One option is that there really is no evil, natural or otherwise; it’s just that you’ve got random mutations producing things that we like and things that we don’t like. That was essentially the Darwinian view. He was going to let God off the hook by saying essentially that God had nothing to do with it. He didn’t want to make God responsible for evil, so he made God responsible for nothing at all. The other view is that it looks like you’ve got design, but it looks like you’ve got a good designer and a bad designer at the same time. A third view — which I think is more in line with a Christian view of design — is that the world is simply evidence of a good design gone bad.
What does ID have to do or prove to get more of the mainstream scientific community on board with it?
I think it needs to continue doing what it’s been doing, making the case and focusing on the evidence, and then challenging the rules of science that prevents scientists from considering ID as an explanation. I think this is the main impediment.
What do you hope for the future of the ID movement?
We’re trying to grow it. We want to see more scientists come in to it. And I think it is incumbent upon us to develop a robust research program of questions that flow from an ID perspective. If ID is correct, life ought to look different than if it were the result of random processes of mutation and selection. One of the key predictions that illustrates how it ought to look different is the prediction about junk DNA. We’ve been saying since the early ’90s that the non-protein-coding regions of the genome — which the Darwinists said to be junk — are not going to be shown to be junk. If ID is true, it makes no sense for a designing intelligence to design an information system in which 97 percent of it is doing nothing. We’ve predicted that yes, you ought to see some mutational decay and some errors over time, but the signal should not be dwarfed by the noise. What we’ve been seeing in the last 10 years is that that prediction has been substantially, overwhelmingly confirmed. That’s an example of how the ID perspective is anticipating discoveries in science, suggesting testable predictions, and I think that’s the future of ID.

Olivier Gautier Explains the Flat Earth Situation
Most people don’t really want The Truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe in is The Truth. Every image of Earth from “space” or space from Earth is artist trickery. Everything we do and everything we think, unfortunately, is controlled and molded, including the place we think we live on. NAZI/NASA and other space related agencies of the world have been caught deceiving Mankind before, so they are untrustworthy.
"FALSUS IN UNO, FALSUS IN OMNIBUS” is a Latin phrase meaning "false in one thing, false in everything." At common law, it is the legal principle that a witness who testifies falsely about one matter is not credible to testify about any matter." They are not reliable sources to rely on in any case. (NASA= major red flag here).
The Globe Earth is a fabrication falsified by the very same people who secretly runs/control the world and have all of the "material" wealth that have allowed them to "gain" the power over the world. Flat Earth is important because it changes the perception of the collective reality. It'll expose our leaders as liars and deceivers. Unfortunately, I have recognized that the same forces that determine how the rulers act also affect our reactions to those who hold power. Submission can be so entrenched into us that we are not powerful enough when we can be. Each time we submit to deception, we weaken ourselves.
The more you are awake, the more you’ll start to see those “space references” (in the media, educational system, movies, books, etc…) for what they really are: brainwashing and mind-control techniques.
People are asleep if they are not capable of actually seeing the corruption inherent within this "globe delusion" and "fake space" propaganda, which is the Mother of All the Lies. In the last 60 years, NASA and all the other space agencies of the world, have never been to space, but claim to have, launching rockets into the sky, only to fall into the ocean in a great arc. It's all just fireworks and fairy tales (Walt Disney/Hollywood style).
Early Masonic magicians like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton, along with their modern Masonic Astro-Not counter-parts like Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, hand-in-hand with NASA and world Freemasonry, using everything from books, magazines, and television to computer-generated imaging, have succeeded, in the minds of the masses, to pick up the fixed Earth, shape it into a ball, spin it in circles, and throw it around the Sun! In schools where every teacher’s desk is adorned with a spinning Earth-globe, we are lectured on the Heliocentric Theory and shown images of ball-planets and videos of men suspended in space. The illusion created, connivingly convincing, has entranced the world’s population into blindly believing a maleficent myth.
There is no photographic evidence of globe Earth. Bottom line. You are believing in a “state sponsored cosmology”.
In other words:
It does not matter whether or not the fossil record is consistent with “evolutionary theory”, any more than it matters in Physics that Newton’s theory is consistent with everyday experience. It doesn’t matter if NASA's or SpaceX supposed technological advances and technical prowess, accepted as genuine into the subconscious mindset of the public through constant insidious brainwashing, fits what is presented to them on TV, when the “data” can be controlled, fabricated, and manipulated to fit any agenda.
Imagine now with NASA’s budget how easily people with a lifetime of indoctrination can be easily fooled. The problem is that many people think that if everybody believes in something for a long, long time, it must be true. By brainwashing us with something gigantic and fundamental lie (shape of the Earth), it makes every other type of lesser indoctrination a piece of cake. Remember, they’ve already blown up the World Trade Center in broad daylight and got away with it via an inside job/false flag. Being ignorant is not so much the product of laziness as being unwilling to learn.
The internet is both wonderful and wicked. The world’s combined knowledge is at our fingertips, as is its debauchery and falsity. It is so much easier to find things out, but much harder to sort out the Truth from the lies. We tend to live in echo chambers, seeking out the information that confirms our world view, and there are some very strange views out there. But you can always find affirmation if you look for it. But of far greater concern is the deliberate disinformation and false information. The term disinformation began as a term of Soviet tradecraft, first defined in the official Great Soviet Encyclopedia as “the dissemination (in the press, radio, etc.) of false information with the intention to deceive public opinion.” Propaganda is information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented. Propaganda is often associated with material prepared by governments, NASA and other space agencies, activist groups, companies, TV programs, Media, Film industry (Hollywood). Don't be naive, all governments and people who work for them have been lying for years. Propaganda is the art of persuading others of what you don't believe yourself. This is the secret of propaganda: those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.
You know you are on “target” when fakery and disinformation is desperately being created to keep others from knowing, believing, and seeing Truth. For instance, increasing desperate attempts being made to prove FE theory wrong, or worse, rubbish info pushing the globe indoctrination through insidious and constant propaganda (you might want to learn to scroll past page one when “googling” genuine information - due to censorship). Usually, the propagandist seeks to change the way people understand an issue or situation for the purpose of changing their actions and expectations in ways that are desirable to the interest group. Propaganda, in this sense, serves as a corollary to censorship in which the same purpose is achieved, not by filling people's minds with approved information, but by preventing people from being confronted with opposing points of view (for example FE views). What sets propaganda apart from other forms of advocacy is the willingness of the propagandist to change people's understanding through deception and confusion rather than persuasion and understanding. The "leaders" of an "organization" know the information to be one sided or untrue, but this may not be true for the rank and file members who help to disseminate the propaganda. The term propaganda may also refer to false information meant to reinforce the mindsets of people who already believe as the propagandist wishes. Everyone has their beliefs, I agree. However, only those who think for themselves, rather than blindly follow the mainstream narrative will truly experience the real world. In other words, it will take you more than a few hours of research to overcome a lifetime of indoctrination.
In addition, this procedure appeals to authority (aka argumentum ad verecundiam). In other words, it places governments in the foreground. Explanation: thanks to their tracking devices and because of their qualifications. They can monitor diverse events occurring in space and share special knowledge only they can access (the only answer being that central casting and planning want it that way (concealment). This is also one of the main objectives of this kind of propaganda. Whether the info is real or not, this is really secondary. When you understand that “space” data comes mainly from one source, delivered by a few agencies -you get caught up in a loop wondering “Why would they lie?” and start having a hard time accepting possible contradictory evidence and answers (cognitive dissonance).
Whereas the real question would rather be:
“Why would they tell us the truth?” …More so, when our ignorance is their power.
Many beliefs are based on either a lack of information or too much misinformation, but rarely on personal knowledge or experience. So, most of what someone believes is nothing more than what they have been programmed to accept as truth, and those sources never lie, right? (coughing sound) Blind faith in authority is no mark of truth. In conclusion, the adage that says, "Do your own research, unbiased and eminently fair research.", remains the best development in the quest for Truth.
The Moon’s Halo Effect Through the Night Clouds
We have all seen the Moon at night create a halo through the clouds. It creates this small circle in the night sky. However, at the alleged 294,000 miles away, the Moon's light would be virtually parallel to the Earth and light up the entire night sky, not just some small circular area. Clouds are vapor drops and extremely reflective. If the Moon were truly 294,000 miles away, the entire night sky would be illuminated.
Additionally, the intensity of light is inversely proportional to the distance of the light source. The inverse square law describes the intensity of light at different distances from a light source. The intensity of light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This means that as the distance from a light source increases, the intensity of light is equal to a value multiplied by 1/d2.
If you do the math, not only would you not see the Moon at all from 294,000 miles away, you would not see any halo effect in the clouds. In fact, at that distance, The Moon would be so small, even if it was 8 times bigger than it is purported to be, that you would see no light at all. Light does not travel that distance. Light only excites the medium it is within and creates wave perturbations which cause wave propagation. In other words, the Aether that envelops all things would be excited, allowing light to propagate. This whole myth that light travels these extravagant distances is based on fantasy. Light is not a composed of photons nor does it travel as a particle, nor a wave, nor in packets, as fake quantum science likes to falsely assert. You cannot quantize light. It is only energy that causes perturbations within the medium of the light source. The Inverse Square Law simply prohibits reflective light from a dust ball to reach out over 294,000 miles to pierce one segment of the night
Enclosed Cosmology Reconfiguring Reality
Robert A. Sungenis: Michelson and Morley Destroys Relativity, Time Dilation, and the GPS Hoax
(Robert A. Sungenis (born ca. 1955) is an American author and filmmaker known for his Catholic apologetics and his advocacy of the belief that the Earth is the center of the universe, as The Bible explains, repeatedly. After his conversion back to Roman Catholicism, Sungenis became known as a Traditionalist Catholic. He wrote Not By Faith Alone, a book of apologetics, explaining his view of the Catholic Church's doctrine of justification and his critique of the Protestant doctrine of salvation by faith alone.)
In his 1881 and 1887 experiments, Michelson and Morley’s discovered, beyond any scientific doubt, that the Earth was not moving around the Sun. All scientists, worldwide, backed him up. As Michelson himself described the results of his own experiment: “This conclusion directly contradicts the explanation which presupposes that the Earth moves.” But his confused colleagues, including Albert Einstein, were die‐hard Copernicans who didn’t want to believe that Michelson had discovered a motionless Earth , and so, they proposed his experimental apparatus was distorted by the Earth ’s motion through space, and thus Michelson’s apparatus only made it appear as if it wasn’t moving. It was a feeble attempt to escape the obvious empirical conclusion of Michelson’s world famous and historic experiment.
Petitio Principii
In scientific parlance, we call this the fallacy of Petitio Principii a fallacy in which a conclusion is taken for granted in the premises; begging the question, that is, using as proof (a moving Earth ) the very thing one is trying to prove (a moving Earth ). Let me explain. Michelson found the Earth wasn’t moving by using the speed of two light beams against one another. The first light beam was pointed westward because it was the presumed direction of the Earth ’s movement around the Sun by Einstein and company. The second light beam was pointed northward and thus away from the direction of the presumed moving Earth . The first light beam should have been affected by the Earth ’s movement through space if it the Earth is moving around the Sun at the accepted speed of 66,600 mph. If so, the first beam would have traveled slower than the second light beam, if Relativity were a factor. But that didn’t happen. Both light beams traveled at the same speed, proving Einstein wrong and the complete motionlessness of the Earth .
According to Michelson, the first beam traveled only about one‐sixth of the retarded speed needed if the Earth was moving around the Sun. The conclusion, as Michelson notes, was that the Earth isn’t moving around the Sun.
As was noted in the experiment in 1887:
1. The “Desired Result” (the Earth is moving around the Sun) was not found.
2. The “Actual Results: found were that the Earth isn’t moving around the Sun.
The equation used in the calculation is as follows:
Δt - Δt΄ = (l1 + l2) v* 2 /c 3
Given: v = 3.0 × 104 m/s as the speed of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. In Michelson and Morley’s experiment, the arms l1 and l2 were about 11 m long. The time difference would then be about (22m)(3.0 × 104 m/s)2 /(3.0 × 108 m/s)3 ≈ 7.0 × 10-16 s. For visible light of wavelength λ = 5.5 × 10-7 m, say, the frequency would be f = c/λ = (3.0 × 108 m/s)/(5.5 × 10-7 m) = 5.5 × 1014 Hz, which means that wave crests pass by a point every 1/(5.5 × 1014 Hz) = 1.8 × 10-15 s.
Thus, with a time difference of 7.0 × 10-16 s, Michelson and Morley should have noted a movement in the interference pattern of (7.0 × 10-16 s)/(1.8 × 10-15 s) = 0.4 fringe. They could easily have detected this, since their apparatus was capable of observing a fringe shift as small as 0.01 fringe. 3 Other prominent physicists have noted the same truth: “There was just one alternative; the Earth ’s true velocity through space might happen to have been nil.”
Famous Physicist, Arthur Eddington stated:
“The data of Michelson‐Morley is almost unbelievable. There is only one possible conclusion to draw, and that is that the Earth is at perfect rest.”
Eminent Physicist, Bernard Jaffe, stated:
“Thus, the failure of Michelson‐Morley to observe different speeds of light at different times of the year suggested that the Earth must be ‘at rest’…”
It was therefore the ‘preferred’ frame for measuring absolute motion in space. Yet we have known since Galileo that the Earth is not the center of the universe. Why should it be at rest in space?” Physicist, Adolph Baker5 “….The easiest explanation was that the Earth was fixed in the ether and that everything else in the universe moved with respect to the Earth and the ether….Such an idea was not considered seriously, since it would mean in effect that our Earth occupied the omnipotent position in the universe, with all the other Heavenly bodies paying homage by moving around it.” Physicist, James Coleman6 “The Michelson‐Morley experiment confronted scientists with an embarrassing alternative.
On the one hand they could scrap the ether theory which had explained so many things about electricity, magnetism, and light. Or if they insisted on retaining the ether they had to abandon the still more venerable Copernican theory that the Earth is in motion. To many physicists it seemed almost easier to believe that the Earth stood still than that waves – light waves, electromagnetic waves – could exist without a medium to sustain them. It was a serious dilemma and one that split scientific thought for a quarter century. Many new hypotheses were advanced and rejected. The experiment was tried again by Morley and by others, with the same conclusion; the apparent velocity of the Earth through the ether was zero.” Historian, Lincoln Barnett, foreword by Albert Einstein7 “What happened when the experiment was done in 1887? There was never, never, in any orientation at any time of year, any shift in the interference pattern; none; no shift; no fringe shift; nothing. What’s the implication? Here was an experiment that was done to measure the speed of the Earth ’s motion through the ether.
It could have detected speeds as low as two miles a second instead of the known 20 mps that the Earth as in its orbital motion around the Sun. It didn’t detect it. What’s the conclusion from the Michelson‐Morley experiment? The implication is that the Earth is not moving…” Physicist, Richard Wolfson8 “Michelson and Morley found shifts in the interference fringes, but they were very much smaller than the size of the effect expected from the known orbital motion of the Earth ” Physicist, John D. Norton9 “This ‘null’ result was one of the great puzzles of physics at the end of the nineteenth century. One possibility was that...v would be zero and no fringe shift would be expected. But this implies that the Earth is somehow a preferred object; only with respect to the Earth would the speed of light be c as predicted by Maxwell’s equations. This is tantamount to assuming that the Earth is the central body of the universe.”
Physicist, Douglas C. Giancoli10 But the die‐hard Copernicans of that day were not about to accept the prima facie results of Michelson’s experiment. They knew the catastrophic scientific, cultural, and religious implications if it was experimentally shown that Earth is fixed in space. In a word, the whole world would have been turned upside down, literally and figuratively. Pressured to provide a “scientific” answer to the world, they searched for a way to make it appear that the first light beam did, indeed, provide six‐sixths of the retarded speed required for an Earth moving around the Sun. To do so they thought up an ingenious (but devious) explanation. As noted above, they claimed the Earth ’s movement around the Sun contracted the metal enclosure in which the first light beam traveled. If the length of the housing is contracted, then the first light beam does not need to travel as far as when the housing is not contracted.
With this contrived explanation, they proposed to the world that the contraction of Michelson’s apparatus was the reason the Earth appeared to be motionless. In effect, if someone said to them, “You claim the Earth is moving but you admit you cannot detect that movement by any experiment,” they would retort, “Well, we can’t detect it because every time we try to do so, the length of the experimental apparatus shrinks just enough to conceal the movement, which makes it impossible to measure the Earth ’s movement.” Again, we see the fallacy of petitio principii is in play. From start to finish the whole enterprise was ad hoc.
Length contraction wasn’t even contemplated previously, much less was it an established fact of science. But in this emergency situation, length contraction was invented on the spot so that the science establishment would have at least some hypothetical answer why Michelson’s experiment showed the Earth was motionless. Everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. The irony, as of this date, is that no one has ever detected a length contraction in a moving object. In fact, modern physicists can’t even agree on what length contraction is or how it would be manifested.
So far, there are eight different views of length contraction proposed, none of which have actually proven it exists: (1) “The contraction is real.” Lorentz stated in 1922 that the “contraction could be photographed” (Lectures on Theoretical Physics, Vol. 3, Macmillan, p. 203); C. Møller writes: “Contraction is a real effect observable in principle by experiment…This means the concept of length has lost its absolute meaning” (Møller, The Theory of Relativity, 1972, p. 44); Wolfgang Pauli: “It therefore follows that the Lorentz contraction is not a property of a single rod taken by itself, but a reciprocal relation between two such rods moving relatively to each other, and this relation is in principle observable”.
Rindler writes:
“Moving lengths are reduced, a kind of perspective effect. But of course nothing has happened to the rod itself. Nevertheless, contraction is no illusion, it is real” (Introduction to Special Relativity, p. 25); (6) “The contraction is mathematical.” Herman Minkowski writes: “This hypothesis sounds extremely fantastical, for the contraction is not to be looked upon as a consequence of resistances in the ether, or anything of that kind, but simply as a gift from above, – as an accompanying circumstance of the circumstance of motion”
Since they insist the Earth is moving around the Sun yet cannot detect it moving, nevertheless, they needed some physical and mathematical way of accounting for it, since there is obviously a difference between motion and non‐motion. So length contraction became their convenient scapegoat. This is the essence of the Special Relativity theory that Einstein invented in 1905. It was invented solely to answer Michelson’s experiment. As Einstein himself said: “…to the question whether or not the motion of the Earth in space can be made perceptible in terrestrial experiments.
We have already remarked…that all attempts of this nature led to a negative result. Before the theory of relativity was put forward, it was difficult to become reconciled to this negative result.”12 Whereas in 1892 Hendrik Lorentz had hypothesized that the ether of space was what caused the contraction, Einstein decided to dispense with ether and attribute the cause to “relative motion.” In effect, Lorentz at least proposed a physical cause for his claims of length contraction, but Einstein never explained how “relative motion” could shrink objects. Hence, during his day, various philosophers accused him of violating the principle of “cause and effect.” So, whatever the cause of the contraction, in order to give the ad hoc theory some semblance of credibility, the required amount for the metal enclosure to contract was put into a mathematical equation, called “the Lorentz transform.” Length new = Length old ൈ (1 – v2/c2)‐1/2 It has become the most famous and most used equation in modern physics. Essentially, whatever tests disagreed with their belief that the Earth was moving around the Sun could now be mathematically “transformed” into their desired result, as well as give the semblance of being “scientific.” real but invisible.”
“The contraction is real and not real”: Einstein writes: “The author unjustly posited a distinction between Lorenz’s conception and my own with regard to the physical facts. The question of whether the Lorenz contraction really exists or not is deceptive. It doesn’t ‘really’ exist insofar as it doesn’t exist for a non-moving observer; it does ‘really’ exist, in that it can be proven principally through physical means for a nonmoving observer”.
But the transform of length required another transform. Since they contracted the length, they also had to dilate the time, since if a moving object has its length contracted, it is not going to get from Point A to Point B in the same time as when it is not contracted. To increase the time of travel, they use the same “transform” equation as above, but since they are increasing instead of decreasing, they turn the multiplier into a divider to get… Time new = Time old ÷ (1 – v2/c2)‐1/2 Of course, just as there is no proof that length contracts, there is no proof that time dilates. They just need it to make everything appear to balance if they are going to insist the Earth is moving around the Sun when the empirical evidence says it is not. It’s easy for them. They just make up a theory and represent it by a mathematical equation to erase any discrepancies the experiment shows against their theory. The “transforms” are not over. They must also add mass increase, since if a moving object has its length contracted, then it will have a larger mass per unit volume when it gets to point B. So, to make the mass larger they use the same “transform” equation as for time dilation: Mass new = Mass old ÷ (1 – v2/c2)‐1/2 Inertial Frames Often in the debate over the relevance of Michelson’s experiments, the issue of inertial frames presents itself.
An inertial frame is one in which an object is at rest or is moving in uniform motion and not accelerating or decelerating. If the Earth is moving around the Sun, it is a non‐inertial frame since it is accelerating (NB: in physics, all objects that move in a circle are considered accelerating, even though they go the same speed). As such, one is hampered when doing experiments on Earth due to the effects of acceleration on the apparatus (a principle of which all scientists agree). So, in order to make Michelson’s experiment valid, that is, one that takes place in an inertial frame (as IF it were at rest), a Relativist will create the inertial frame by the above “transform” equations. Once again, it is easy to see the fallacy of petitio principii at work in their thinking. For those who accept the prima facie results of Michelson’s experiment (that the Earth is not moving), the Earth is already shown to be an inertial frame because it is at absolute rest. Thus there is no need to create inertial frames for the Earth , and thus no need to use a “transform” equation. 8 Residual Ether Incidentally, we should note one more important facet of the Michelson experiment before we move on. We saw above that the experiment showed only one‐sixth of what was required for an Earth moving around the Sun. This one‐sixth is important for another reason. It showed that space was composed of something substantive.
The name given to it by Lorentz, Maxwell, and all other scientists was “ether.” No one knew precisely what it was composed of, but they correctly deducted that space cannot be nothing, since metaphysically “nothing” cannot exist. Space must be a “something,” composed of something physical, although like air we cannot see it because it is invisible. It doesn’t matter what you call it. The fact is that it must exist. Quantum mechanics has suggested that the ether’s basic component is Planck particles, which are 20 orders of magnitude smaller than the electron. Another type of ether may be an electron‐positron dipole particle, which was discovered in 1932 by Carl Anderson. In any case, the substance of space, which we will call “ether,” was detected in Michelson’s 1881 and 1887 experiments, as well as his 1897 experiment with an above‐ground apparatus.
Since light moves so fast, it can serve to measure the effect on something as small as ether particles. His interferometer was so accurate it could measure one hundred times more than it was required to measure. As such, Michelson’s interferometer didn’t measure enough ether to match an Earth moving at 66,000 mph around the Sun, but it did measure a little ether, otherwise his results would not have shown one‐sixth, but zero‐ sixths of ether presence. Michelson noted this small presence in his 1887 paper. This was not good for Einstein. He candidly admitted that if any ether was detected, even a little bit, his theory of Special Relativity would automatically be falsified. This was noted in Einstein’s statement to Sir Herbert Samuel in Jerusalem: “If Michelson‐Morley is wrong, 9 then relativity is wrong.”
In other words, Einstein was forced to assume that because Michelson did not find enough ether for an Earth revolving around the Sun, then Michelson couldn’t have found any ether. But if this conclusion of Einstein’s was wrong, then his whole relativity theory would be falsified automatically, since even a little ether would act as an absolute frame and thus nullify “relativity.” Noted physicist Charles Lane Poor of Columbia University reiterated the problem: “The Michelson‐Morley experiment forms the basis of the relativity theory: Einstein calls it decisive…if it should develop that there is a measurable ether‐drift, then the entire fabric of the relativity theory would collapse like a house of cards.”
So Einstein was banking on the hope that since Michelson did not detect the required amount of ether for an Earth moving around the Sun, he could conclude that the ether simply didn’t exist. Hence, the detection of one‐sixth of the required ether was thus conveniently chalked up to “experimental error.” The facts show otherwise, however. Every interferometer experiment performed from Michelson in 1881 to Joos in 1930—which is 50 years of the same results from a dozen different experimenters—detected one‐sixth to one‐tenth. Einstein was so bothered by this fact that he hired what can be called a ‘scientific hit man,’ Robert Shankland, to seek to discredit the experiments, especially the most comprehensive interferometer experiments performed by Dayton Miller between 1908 and 1921.
Einstein:
After all, Einstein was the “Earth-Mover”. He made the Earth move around the Sun and thus saved mankind from having to admit that popular science had misled the world for the 500 years prior. For the geocentrist, the only thing left to answer is: from whence did the one‐sixth of ether originate? The simple answer is that since the universe, with its ether, is rotating around a fixed Earth , some of that ether spilled into Michelson’s 1887 interferometer when he was trying to detect if the Earth was moving around the Sun. This is confirmed by the fact that Michelson did another experiment in 1925 in order to measure the ether movement for the daily rotation between space and Earth.
In that experiment he found six‐sixths of the required ether for a daily rotation. Hence it is logical to assume that the one‐sixth he found in 1887 came from the same ether he later detected in his 1925 experiment. Since the ether in the 1887 experiment hit the interferometer orthogonally instead of linearly, it would only pick up one‐sixth of the total ether in space. “Electromagnetism” You will often hear modern devotees of Einstein claim that he invented Special Relativity as an answer to Maxwell’s equations of electrodynamics. They do this because they don’t want to admit that Einstein invented Special Relativity for the express purpose of making it appear the Earth was moving around the Sun.
They want to make it appear that Einstein invented Special Relativity out of pure motives and an independent thought process. The truth is far different. Einstein himself admits that the only reason he invented Special Relativity was due to Michelson’s discovery. He writes in 1922: Soon I came to the conclusion that our idea about the motion of the Earth with respect to the ether is incorrect, if we admit Michelson’s null result as a fact. This was the first path which led me to the special theory of relativity. 15 Be that as it may, the reason the Relativist wants to intrude on Maxwell’s electrodynamic theory is because, as it stands, electromagnetism doesn’t show any characteristics of being “relative.” Maxwell’s experiments from 1865 show us that the effect of an electric coil moving over a stationary magnet is different than a magnet moving over a stationary electric coil, and Maxwell appropriately represented these different reactions by two different equations.
Speech titled: “How I Created the Theory of Relativity,” delivered at Kyoto University, Japan, Dec. 14, 1922, as cited in Physics Today, August, 35 (8), 45, 1982, by Yoshimasa A. Ono. 11 Maxwell’s experiment and his two equations (actually four equations altogether, but with two main equations) thus show us that space and the reactions that occur in it are absolute, not relative, since it distinguishes between the two different effects of the electric coil and the magnet, respectively. Since a Relativist does not like anything absolute, Einstein sought to make Maxwell’s experiment “relative” just as he tried to make Michelson’s experiment “relative.”
To do so, he used the same “transform” equations that he used to make it appear the Earth was moving. As such, the Relativist can make it appear that the effect of electricity on magnetism is the same as magnetism on electricity, but in reality they are not the same. We still use Maxwell’s equations today, because they are correct. But when the Relativist uses them he must invariably inject the “transform” equations in order to make Maxwell’s two absolute reactions into Einstein’s one “relative” reaction.16 Without the “transform” equation, Maxwell’s findings are diametrically opposed to Einstein’s relativity theory. Not surprisingly, Einstein was well aware that Maxwell’s finding of the different reactions between an electric coil and a magnet are related to Michelson’s “unsuccessful attempt to.
This is also why Relativists tout the idea of an “electromagnetic wave” to describe light. The term “electromagnetic” gives the impression that light is electricity and magnetism combined into one entity. Hence this makes electricity and magnetism dependent and relative instead of independent and absolute. Einstein did this because previously it was understood that light traveled in waves of ether. But since Einstein’s Special Relativity dispenses with ether, he then claimed that light made its own medium by orthogonal oscillations of electricity and magnetism. 12 discover any motion of the Earth .” In his famous 1905 paper, he seeks to make their respective absolute effects into “relative” effects (i.e., the same).
He writes:
It is known that Maxwell’s electrodynamics—as usually understood at the present time— when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena. Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and a conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the relative motion of the conductor and the magnet, whereas the customary view draws a sharp distinction between the two cases in which either the one or the other of these bodies is in motion. For if the magnet is in motion and the conductor at rest, there arises in the neighborhood of the magnet an electric field with a certain definite energy, producing a current at the places where parts of the conductor are situated. But if the magnet is stationary and the conductor in motion, no electric field arises in the neighborhood of the magnet. In the conductor, however, we find an electro‐motive force, to which in itself there is no corresponding energy, but which gives rise—assuming equality of relative motion in the two cases discussed—to electric currents of the same path and intensity as those produced by the electric forces in the former case. Examples of this sort, together with the unsuccessful attempts to discover any motion of the Earth relatively to the “light medium,” suggest that the phenomena of electrodynamics as well as of mechanics possess no properties corresponding to the idea of absolute rest.
They suggest rather that, as has already been shown to the first order of small quantities, the same laws of electrodynamics and optics will be valid for all frames of reference for which the equations of mechanics hold good. In other words, since Einstein firmly believes the Earth is moving around the Sun and yet he realizes that he must have an answer for all the “unsuccessful attempts to discover any motion of the Earth ,” he proposes that this discrepancy can be dealt with by: (1) Assuming, as a fact, that electrodynamics and mechanics did not show states of absolute rest (i.e., Michelson did not show us a motionless Earth , and Maxwell did not show us the absolute states of electricity and magnetism) (2) We are thus obligated to change what appeared to be absolute frames in Michelson’s and Maxwell’s experiments into relative frames (which is noted in his phrase, “all frames of reference”). In order to do so, that is, in order to make “all frames of reference” to be “valid,” Einstein will use the “transform” equation, which appears on page 7 of his 1905 paper as follows: β = ଵ ටଵ ି ௩మ ൗ మ or, the same equation can be written as: 13 β = 1 ÷ (1 ̶ v 2 /c 2 ) -1/2 This is the precise equation used by Lorentz to claim that the arm of Michelson’s apparatus had shrunk by 1 ൈ (1 ̶ v 2 /c 2 ) -1/2, with Einstein also adding time dilation by 1 ÷ (1 ̶ v 2 /c 2 ) -1/2. The section of the paper where this “transform” equation appears begins on page 5 with the title: § 3. Theory of the Transformation of Co‐ordinates and Times from a Stationary System to another System in Uniform Motion of Translation Relatively to the Former Alas, we don’t need to go searching for it. Einstein tells us quite candidly what he is doing. He is “transforming” space and time from a “Stationary System” (e.g., a fixed Earth ) to “another System,” one of “Relativity.” In fact, the word “transformation” appears twenty‐ four times in his paper as he applies it to every phenomenon from time, space, motion, electricity, magnetism, the Doppler effect, stellar aberration, energy of light waves, electron acceleration, to mass increase. It became the quintessential means to “relativize” the whole universe and forever banish the thought of a motionless Earth . As we can see, it is all done by mathematics.
There is not one iota of physical, empirical proof to the theory. In the Relativist’s mind, of course, there is no need to prove their findings or to justify using the “transform.” Since everyone “knows” the Earth is moving around the Sun, then everything is moving and there is no object at rest and thus the whole universe is “relative.” In effect, whenever the experiments show an absolute result, the Relativist can wave his magic wand and change it into a relative result. This is the essence of the Special Relativity theory that Einstein invented in 1905.
That Einstein believes the Earth is moving, but has no proof for it is noted in his statement… “I have come to believe that the motion of the Earth cannot be detected by any optical experiment, though the Earth is revolving around the Sun.”17 Einstein’s admission merely begs the question: If, on a scientific basis, he can’t detect the Earth moving, how does he know the Earth is moving? The truth is, he doesn’t know. He just assumes it to be so, since that is what he has been taught since childhood. In effect, the “transform” equation is then invoked to make it appear as if the Earth is moving around the 17 Speech titled: “How I Created the Theory of Relativity,” delivered at Kyoto University, Japan, Dec. 14, 1922, as cited in Physics Today, August, 1982. 14 Sun, but in reality the “transform” equation is just an equation and has no ability or authority to determine the issue. Hence Einstein would also admit in 1938… The possibility of solving these difficulties depends on the answer to the following question.
Can we formulate physical laws so that they are valid for all coordinate systems, not only those moving uniformly, but also those moving quite arbitrarily, relative to each other? If this can be done, our difficulties will be over. We shall then be able to apply the laws of nature to any coordinate system. The struggle, so violent in the early days of science, between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless. Either coordinate system could be used with equal justification. The two sentences: “the Sun is at rest and the Earth moves,” or “the Sun moves and the Earth is at rest,” would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different coordinate systems.18 That is, he will employ arbitrary “coordinate systems” to make the absolute state (i.e., a fixed Earth ) into a relative state in which either coordinate system can be used (i.e., a fixed Earth or a moving Earth ). All the “coordinate systems” are created mathematically out of thin air by using the “transform” equation.
If they didn’t use the transform equation, then they would be stuck with only one “coordinate system,” the one Michelson found in 1887 when the experimental evidence showed the Earth wasn’t moving around the Sun. If you ask a Relativist for the scientific validity of using the “transform” equation, he will simply retort, “Well, the transform equation was proven to be valid when Michelson did his experiment in 1887.” Again, the fallacy of petitio principii is readily apparent since he is using an unproven fact (an Earth moving around the Sun) as the basis for making the conclusion that the Earth is moving around the Sun.
The cause of the fallacy, as Einstein admitted above when he said “though the Earth is revolving around the Sun,” is that they insist on using a moving Earth (which they claim to “know intuitively”) as the indisputable authority to interpret Michelson’s experiment. Consequently, if one firmly believes the Earth is moving, but the experiments show it is not moving, then ones interpretation of the experiment will force one to find some way to make it appear as if the Earth is moving.
In effect, any experiment that shows the Earth is not moving will be math‐magically transformed into a moving Earth by the “transform” equation. The “transform” equation is 18 The Evolution of Physics: From Early Concepts to Relativity and Quanta, Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld, 1938, 1966, p. 212. 15 like a magician waving his wand over the experiments so that the system one does not prefer is transformed into system one does prefer. Modern man certainly does not prefer a fixed Earth , since a fixed Earth would validate much of the history and science prior to the modern age, and would show modern man that he is not the objective and non‐prejudiced icon of society that he has enjoyed the last few hundred years. He is little more than a magician who has been feeding the world a steady diet of illusions. Light as the Absolute Speaking of illusions, we have one more to expose. In order to determine they have made a non‐inertial frame into an inertial frame (which is hard to do if everything is “relative”), ironically, you need something absolute!
You need an absolute measuring stick to determine the difference between the inertial and the non‐inertial. They can’t use the Earth , of course, because they have already insisted it is accelerating around the Sun. They can’t use length, time, or mass because they have already said that they increase or decrease upon movement and thus are not absolute. The only candidate left is light. In order to make light an absolute measuring stick, they claim that its speed never changes. But there is no proof for it. They just assume it to be the case (Einstein called it a “postulate”).
In this way, they make light serve as the one and only absolute in order to measure the amount of length contraction, time dilation or mass increase, and even the rate that the Earth travels around the Sun. Again, this is the essence of Special Relativity. No proof, just made‐up postulates and mathematical equations that give the appearance of truth. Einstein’s “transform” equation, β = 1 ÷ (1 ̶ v 2 /c 2 ) -1/2 is interesting in itself. First, the easiest way to understand it is in the form of a ratio. We’ve often heard of a 1‐to‐1 ratio. Well, this equation was formulated to make the right side always less than a 1‐to‐1 ration, since 1 multiplied or divided by any number less than itself will always be less than 1.
The amount it will be less than 1 depends on the value of v. The higher v is, the higher β will be. Second, c, which represents the speed of light, is used in the denominator because it is believed to be constant and can thus serve as the absolute. Hence v is always measured against a constant value for c; and v can never be higher than c because light is assumed to be the fastest known speed. If v ever equaled c, then, then the ratio would be 1‐to‐1. Of course, the Relativists are assuming that c is always the same, but they have no proof of this claim. The Relativist may retort with, “Yes, light speed is constant, but only in an inertial frame. It can vary in other frames.” By doing so, he only traps himself. First, if light is constant only in an inertial frame, but an Earth going around the Sun is a non‐inertial frame, then how can 16 the Relativist claim that the light beams used in Michelson’s experiment on Earth were in an inertial frame? He can’t, so he employs the “transform” equation. But in this case the Relativist has again committed the fallacy of petitio principii, using as proof (an inertial frame) by the very thing he is trying to prove (that “transform” equations create an inertial frame). Incidentally, one of the main questions Relativists have never answered (although they have been challenged with it previously), is: if the physical dimensions of length and mass can be contracted by movement, and the essence and calculation of time can be dilated by the same movement, then why isn’t light contracted by a moving Earth?
Since the Relativist admits that light is a physical reality of “photons” (courtesy of Einstein) shouldn’t they also be affected in some way? This very question was posed to Einstein by Maxwell Abraham and August Föppl to the Relativists, but without an answer forthcoming.19 In reality, the only reason light is kept immune from the effects of motion in the Relativists scheme of things is because, ironic as it is, the Relativist desperately needs an absolute to make everything else “relative”! In his mind, he has two choices for the required absolute: (A) the fixed Earth that Michelson found, or (B) the presumed constant speed of light that Einstein wants. If he chooses A as his absolute, it means B would vary. If he chooses B as his absolute, it means A would vary. But choosing A as the absolute would mean certain death for the science establishment, since it would affirm the Church’s decision against Galileo.
Choosing B would allow the charade of “scientific” authority over the Church to continue indefinitely. Which one do you think has the greater chance of being chosen by the reigning science establishment? The geocentrist says that the choice is easy. The prima facie evidence of the 1887 and 1925 Michelson experiments show the Earth isn’t moving around the Sun, but there is a relative daily rotation between Earth and space. Hence, the Earth is the absolute inertial frame and the absolute measuring stick. If so, then the universe is absolute, not relative. Since the motionless Earth is already an absolute inertial frame, then there is no need to introduce ad hoc “transform” equations to turn it from a non‐inertial frame into an inertial frame, and thus there is no need to contract length, dilate time or increase mass. No magic is required for geocentrism.
As Pauli puts it: “For this purpose we shall discuss the Michelson interferometer experiment….Now, because of the Lorentz contraction….it would therefore seem that an observer travelling with K’ measures a velocity of light…different from that measured by an observer in K. According to Abraham there is no time dilation. Abraham’s point of view is consistent with Michelson’s experiment, but it contradicts the postulate of relativity, since it would in principle admit of experiments which would allow one to measure the ‘absolute’ motion of a system.
Additionally, they cannot assume the speed of light is constant or unaffected by motion since if the Earth isn’t moving, then there is no way for them to make such a determination from Michelson’s two experiments, especially when other experiments and evidence, (e.g., Sagnac in 1913 and the GPS system that shows a 50ns difference in light speed going east‐ to‐west) show light speed is not constant. It is obvious that the Relativist is making these unproven ad hoc “transform” adjustments simply because he refuses to believe that Michelson’s 1887 experiment showed the Earth is at rest. Modern Versions of Michelson’s Experiment One more thing: Relativists—those who believe that Michelson’s 1887 experiment showed no difference in the speed of the two light beams—claim that Michelson’s “null” result has been verified by modern versions of Michelson’s experiment that show no difference between the speed of the light beams up to 10‐18 precision.
But if you ever want to see a shell game, this is it. The modern experiments only trap the Relativists more firmly than Michelson did. Remember above we said Einstein maintained that the slight difference in the two light beams of Michelson’s original 1887 experiment can be chalked up to “experimental error.” In effect, Einstein was claiming that there was no difference in the speed of the two light beams and the result was thus “null.” For the sake of argument, let’s assume that to be the case. Hence, if the speed of the light beams was the same, what did this suggest to Einstein? It suggested the Earth wasn’t moving! We already saw what Michelson himself said about the presumed “null” result, namely, “This conclusion directly contradicts the explanation…which presupposes that the Earth moves,” as well as the other scientists we quoted after him.
For further verification, let’s look at what Einstein’s biographer said: In the United States Albert Michelson and Edward Morley had performed an experiment which confronted scientists with an appalling choice. Designed to show the existence of the ether…it had yielded a null result, leaving science with the alternatives of tossing aside the key which had helped to explain the phenomena of electricity, magnetism, and light or of deciding that the Earth was not in fact moving at all.
The problem which now faced science was considerable. For there seemed to be only three alternatives. The first was that the Earth was standing still, which meant scuttling the whole Copernican theory and was unthinkable. 22 So if the new sapphire oscillator confirms that the two beams go the same speed, it doesn’t relieve the Relativist one bit. In fact, it traps him all the more, since now an even more
In the opposite vein, senator James W. Fulbright once remarked:
“We must care to think about the unthinkable things, because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless.” 18 sophisticated and precise experiment confirms that the Earth isn’t going around the Sun since the light beam in the oscillator that was supposed to be affected by the Earth ’s movement is not affected. But instead of admitting, or at least holding out the possibility, that this result shows the Earth isn’t moving, they instead claim that the 66,000 mph speed has no effect on the light beam, and therefore, they conclude the Earth could be moving and the light beam is constant, regardless that its frame is moving at 66,000 mph. For them the choice is a fixed Earth or a fixed light speed, and they have chosen the latter because a fixed Earth was “unthinkable.” But when they make such a choice, they must also conclude that Special Relativity allows both a moving Sun around a stationary Earth and a moving Earth around a stationary Sun. As the article itself admits: According to special relativity, there is no absolute space or absolute time. So if two objects are moving relative to each other in empty space, it would actually be impossible for an observer to tell their absolute velocities—maybe only one of the objects was moving and the other was stationary, for example, but you wouldn't know which was which because their movements are relative to each other, not to any external reference frame (assuming the reference frame is non‐accelerating).23 Notice the corner into which the Relativist has painted himself.
What they discovered is that there is a price to pay for choosing a fixed light speed over a fixed Earth . With a fixed Earth one knows the universe is absolute, since the universe revolves around an absolute, fixed point, and everything can be accurately measured from that fixed point. But with a fixed light speed, there is no fixed point and no one knows whether the Earth is moving around the Sun or the Sun is moving around the Earth . Obviously, if they claim that light speed is not affected by movement, then they can’t use light to determine movement, and thus all movement is undeterminable. In effect, for all its bravado and sophistication, science is forced to conclude that science can’t answer the simple question of which is moving around the other, the Earth or the Sun.
But the problems are not over for the Relativist. If he can’t determine the precise motion by using light, then he must account for his inability, since it is a fact that out of the two possibilities (i.e., the Sun moving around the Earth or the Earth moving around the Sun) only one can be the true reality. So he resigns himself, based on other criteria (mostly philosophical), to believing that the Earth moving around the Sun is the true reality, but he is incapable of proving it. The best he can hope for is a draw due to his incompetence. Another issue concerns the length contraction, the time dilation and the mass increase of the original Lorentz and Einsteinian theories. Do these three effects apply to the sapphire 23 http://m.phys.org/news/2015-09-precise-lorentz-symmetry-photon-constant.html 19 oscillators? If they do, then the Lorentz “transform” must be used to arrive at a “null” result if they insist that the Earth is moving around the Sun. If the three effects are discarded, then so must Einstein’s theories. The only question left to answer is, why did Michelson’s 1887 experiment show at least some ether (e.g., Michelson said it showed one‐sixth), but the sapphire oscillators don’t show any ether down to 10‐18? The reason is very simple.
The sapphire oscillators are put in an extreme vacuum, which essentially removes the ether that Michelson discovered. Michelson did not use a vacuum. In effect, the Relativists have to create an artificial environment in order to obtain a “null” result. In the real world, however—the one without a vacuum—some ether always shows up in the Michelson‐type experiments. In fact, in Michelson’s 1925 experiment, all the ether in space shows up in the experiment. In the end, it really doesn’t matter, since if the oscillator shows no difference in the light beams, then it shows precisely what Einstein believed Michelson showed, namely, the Earth isn’t moving. The only way out of that dilemma was to claim that the interferometer shrunk and time dilated, but these were nothing more than pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Consequently, if the Earth were moving, we would expect there to be a significant difference in the speed of the two light beams, just as Michelson found.
One way to test the sapphire oscillator’s capability is to position it on the frame of a 1925 Michelson‐Gale experimental apparatus instead of an 1887 Michelson‐Morley apparatus. A significant difference in the oscillator’s results may be seen. The reason, of course, is that in 1925 Michelson found 98% of the ether he needed to confirm a daily relative rotation between the Earth and space, but in 1887 Michelson only found a fraction of the ether he needed for an Earth revolving around the Sun (since some of the rotational ether spilled into the 1887 Michelson apparatus).
The geocentrist says that this is precisely what should be expected, since the Earth is not revolving around the Sun; but ethereal space, which makes up the universe, is daily rotating around a fixed Earth . If on a Michelson‐Gale frame the oscillator shows no difference in the speed of the light beams, this would prove that the oscillator cannot detect the relative rotation between Earth and space (but we know positively that there is a relative rotation), and thus show why it is also not able to detect whether the Earth is moving around the Sun. It would prove the oscillator to be inert and discount it as being capable of detecting celestial movement. It would then disqualify it from being used to determine that light speed is constant and also disqualify it from claiming “Lorentz symmetry.” We could also put the sapphire oscillator on a GPS frame to determine whether its results are valid. Presently, light beams sent from GPS stations in the east to GPS stations in the west are faster than light beams sent from GPS stations in the west to GPS stations in the east, by at least 50 nanoseconds, every day, all day. (NB: This discrepancy is covered up by 20 Relativists since they preprogram the GPS computers to adjust for the difference so that they can then claim that light speed is constant according to the Special Relativity theory).
In effect, the GPS shows that light speed is not invariant and there is no Lorentz symmetry. If the oscillator is capable of detecting the difference, it would detect the 50 nanoseconds. Since we know for a fact that there is a 50ns difference, then if the oscillator cannot detect it, then either the oscillator is being hampered by its vacuum state or the oscillator simply can’t be used to measure light speed differences.
Incidentally, the geocentrist can easily explain the 50 nanosecond discrepancy, since he holds that because space is daily rotating east‐to‐west against a fixed Earth , the inertial frame of the GPS light beam sent east‐to‐west is moving westward by 1054 mph by the fact that space is rotating around the Earth , thus adding space’s rotational speed to the light beam’s speed. Conversely, the GPS light beam traveling west‐to‐east must travel against the east‐to‐west frame of space’s daily rotation and thus will be slower than the east‐to‐west light beam. Back to Maxwell’s Equations: If, as one Relativist claimed: “Special Relativity is for inertial frames of reference, a non-accelerating frame of reference. They are the equations which keep the laws of electromagnetism invariant,” he is being deceptive (as is much of physics today). He is making it sound as if there is some necessity to make the effect of an electric coil moving against a magnet to be the same effect (“invariant”) as a magnet moving against an electric coil. His “necessity,” of course, is nothing more than his desire for a backup argument for “relativity” after he had already relativized Michelson’s experiment. But Maxwell showed quite conclusively that his results were not “invariant.”
They are variant because nature is what it is. Since the effects are not invariant, then the universe is absolute, not relative. Special Relativity, because it seeks to promote a relative universe to hide the fixed Earth that Michelson found, can’t tolerate the absoluteness of Maxwell’s experimental results, so it uses its mathematical magic (the “transform” equation) to make Maxwell’s results relative.
Deep in his heart the Relativist realizes that if Maxwell’s equations are left absolute, it means that Special Relativity cannot be applied to Michelson’s experiment and thus Michelson’s finding that the Earth is motionless would be valid. But the Relativist would rather die a thousand deaths than accept a motionless Earth . It is “unthinkable.” So he commandeers an untested, unproven ad hoc concept (e.g., length contraction) and its accompanying mathematical equation (the “transform” equation) to make it all go away. Einstein is famous for one thing. He is the man who made it “go away,” and the world has worshiped him ever since. He did so by making the whole universe “relative” when, in fact, the empirical evidence clearly showed him the universe was absolute.
All in all, the history of the Michelson experiments shows how a preconceived idea (i.e., the Earth moves around the Sun) is made the sole determining factor of how a modern scientist is going to interpret the results of any experiment. In order to hold on to his preconceived idea, he will introduce mitigating factors onto the experimental results, and usually, this is done by hypothetical concepts and fudged mathematics. The scientist thus convinces himself that because he can invent a mathematical equation that can “transform” the empirical results, he can keep his preconceived idea of how he thinks the universe must operate. In his mind, ‘The Ends Justifies the Means’ because he “knows” that the Earth revolves around the Sun. There was nothing that would make mankind happier than to keep believing the Earth moved around the Sun, regardless of what the experiments showed. Otherwise, they would have to bow to the pope of the Catholic Church for condemning Galileo for the same error. Their god from on high, Albert Einstein, showed them a magical way to avoid such a predicament, and the world has accepted Einstein as a god ever since.
His “transform” equation has become the magic wand to turn an Earth ‐fixed absolute universe into an Earth ‐wandering relative universe. As the noted Einstein biographer, Abraham Pais, put it: A new man appears abruptly, the ‘suddenly famous Doctor Einstein.’ He carries the message of a new order in the universe. He is a new Moses come down from the mountain to bring the law and a new Joshua controlling the motion of Heavenly bodies….The new man who appears at that time represents order and power. He becomes the θεῖος ἀνήρ, the divine man, of the twentieth century.

The Lunar Eclipse, Umbra, and Penumbra: Problems with NASA’s Model: 6,666.666 Kilometers of Lunar Transit???
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth 's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth , and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy) with Earth between the other two, and only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit.
A totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon due to its reddish color, which is caused by Earth completely blocking direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth 's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light.
A Total Lunar Eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.
The umbra, penumbra and are two distinct parts of a shadow, created by any light source after impinging on an opaque object. Assuming no diffraction, for a collimated beam (such as a point source) of light, only the umbra is cast.
The umbra (Latin for "shadow") is the innermost and darkest part of a shadow, where the light source is completely blocked by the occluding body. An observer within the umbra experiences a total eclipse. The umbra of a round body occluding a round light source forms a right circular cone. As viewed from the cone's apex, the two bodies appear the same size. The distance from the Moon to the apex of its umbra is roughly equal to that between the Moon and Earth : 384,402 km (238,856 mi). Since Earth 's diameter is 3.70 times the Moon's, its umbra extends correspondingly farther: roughly 1,400,000 km (870,000 mi).
The penumbra (from the Latin paene "almost, nearly") is the region in which only a portion of the light source is obscured by the occluding body. An observer in the penumbra experiences a partial eclipse. An alternative definition is that the penumbra is the region where some or all of the light source is obscured (i.e., the umbra is a subset of the penumbra). For example, NASA's Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility defines that a body in the umbra is also within the penumbra.
The Moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical. The point of the orbit closest to Earth is called perigee, while the point farthest from Earth is known as apogee.
The Problem with The Official Model
The problem with these Heliocentric ideas is that The Sun is allegedly 93 million miles away, making its rays virtually parallel as they hit The Earth . This being the case, The Sun’s Umbra (shadow) during a Solar Eclipse would never be a tapered cone shape. It would be the same size as The Earth , nearly four times wider than The Moon. But all Lunar Eclipse diagrams from NASA show the Umbra to be a tapered conical pinpoint, as it transits across The Moon, which defies all natural characteristic of shadows.
Shadows do not form a tapered conical pinpoints. Hence, the Earth ’s Umbra should be the same size as the Earth during a Lunar Eclipse, if we are to believe that The Sun is allegedly blocked by the occluding body of The Earth .
Hence, it could not be The Earth causing the shadow on The Moon during the Lunar Eclipse, since the shadow that we observe occluding The Sun is far bigger than what NASA is suggesting. We are forced to consider some other celestial body or phenomenon is responsible for The Lunar Eclipse.
Earth 's Size Data According to NASA
- Radius: 3,959 miles (6,371 km)
- Diameter: 7,918 miles (12,742 km)
How Fast Does The Moon Travel Around Earth ?
1) The Moon orbits Earth at a speed of 2,288 miles per hour (3,683 kilometers per hour).
How many days does it take The Moon to orbit around the Earth ?
It takes just short of a calendar month, approximately 27.3 days, for The Moon to orbit around The Earth .
How far does The moon travel in two hours in its orbit around The Earth ?
2) And so, in The Heliocentric Model, The Moon travels approximately 4,576 miles (7,366 kilometers) in two hours of orbit around The Earth
Degrees of Motion of the Moon in 2 Hours
In The Heliocentric Model, The Moon orbits approx.. 0.5 degrees per hour in the sky.
In 2 hours, The Moon moves One degree.
In 24 hours, The Moon moves 13 degrees.
What Is The Total Distance Of The Moon’s Orbital Path?
Calculation Method 1:
The Moon has an orbital eccentricity of 0.0549, so its path around the Earth is not perfectly circular and the distance between the Earth and the Moon will vary from the Earth 's frame of reference (Perigee at 363,295 km and apogee at 405,503 km);
But its orbit can be said to be periodic, with no significant apsidal precession, and so we can calculate its orbital length based on its quoted average orbital speed of 1.022 km/sec. and orbital period of 27.321582 days.
And so, plugging our numbers in a calculator, L=V x T, we get The Moon's orbital length of:
- 2,412,517.5 kilometers
Calculation Method 2:
A simple estimation can be done assuming the distance Earth -Moon ≅ 4·10⁵km, and the orbit circular. So you can calculate the distance as a circumference (C=2πr) like that:
- 2π·4·10⁵km =8π·10⁵km ≅ 2.4 million kilometers
What Distance Does The Moon Travel In Two Hours?
- Given: In 2 hours, The Moon moves One degree.
- Given: The Moon travels 7,366 kilometers in two hours of orbit around The Earth
- Given: It takes just short of a calendar month, 27.3 days, for The Moon to orbit around The Earth .
- Given: The Moon's total orbital length in one month of 2.4 million kilometers
- We then calculate: The Moon’s total orbital distance of 2.4 million kilometers divided by 360 degrees of orbit EQUALS:
- 6,666.666 kilometers of Moon transit in two hours.
Is this not surprising that NASA’s data would calculate to 6,666.666 kilometers of Lunar transit??? When does NASA not end up in 666?
- Given: Earth ’s Diameter according to NASA is 12,742 km
- We then calculate: the difference between NASA’s report and the actual reality based upon NASA’s own data:
1) NASA’s 12,742 kilometers of Earth ’s Diameter according to NASA MINUS the actual 6,666.666 kilometers of Lunar movement in two hours EQUALS 6,075.334 kilometers of variance.
In NASA’s model, the alleged Umbra created by the occluding Earth shadow cast upon The Moon during a Lunar Eclipse at NASA’s 12,742 kilometers of Earth ’s Diameter, is 6,075.334 kilometers WIDER than the actual 6,666.666 kilometers of Moon transit in two hours. Hence, The Lunar Eclipse should take FOUR HOURS of time if we are to accept NASA’s Model.
However, this is not the ever the case, and so we must conclude, given NASA’s data, that something other than The Earth is responsible for The Lunar Eclipse.
Again, the problem with these Heliocentric ideas is that The Sun is allegedly 93 million miles away, making its rays virtually parallel as they hit The Earth . This being the case, The Sun’s Umbra (shadow) during a Solar Eclipse would never be a tapered cone shape. It would be the same size as The Earth , nearly four times wider than The Moon. But all Lunar Eclipse diagrams from NASA show the Umbra to be a tapered conical pinpoint, as it transits across The Moon, which defies all natural characteristic of shadows.
Shadows do not form a tapered conical pinpoints. Hence, the Earth ’s Umbra should be the same size as the Earth during a Lunar Eclipse, if we are to believe that The Sun is allegedly blocked by the occluding body of The Earth .
NASA is then:
1) Lying with their math
2) Wrong with their math
3) Completely wrong about their explanation of what is occluding The Moon during a Lunar Eclipse.
In any case, The Earth does not result in being the celestial body responsible for The Lunar Eclipse if we are to subscribe to the official data coming from NASA and the Astronomical society, in general.

Lunar Eclipse due to Shadow Object
Lunar Eclipse occurs about twice a year when a satellite of the sun passes between the sun and moon.
This satellite is called the Shadow Object or Antimoon. Its orbital plane is tilted at an angle to the sun's orbital plane, making eclipses possible only when the three bodies (Sun, Object, and Moon) are aligned. Within a given year a maximum of three lunar eclipses can occur. Despite the fact that there are more solar than lunar eclipses each year, over time many more lunar eclipses are seen at any single location on Earth than solar eclipses. This occurs because a lunar eclipse can be seen from the entire half of the Earth beneath the moon at that time, while a solar eclipse is visible only along a narrow path on the Earth 's surface.
Total lunar eclipses come in clusters. There can be two or three during a period of a year or a year and a half, followed by a lull of two or three years before another round begins. When you add partial eclipses there can be three in a calendar year and again, it's quite possible to have none at all.
The shadow object is never seen in the sky because it orbits the sun on the day side of the Earth , in the large vicinity where celestial bodies are invisible. As the sun's powerful vertical rays hit the atmosphere during the day they will scatter and blot out nearly every single star and celestial body in the daytime sky. We are never given a glimpse of the celestial bodies which appear near the sun during the day - they are completely washed out by the sun's light. In fact, when the daytime Moon gets too close to the sun's vicinity it will completely disappear from sight. Except for during the time of Solar Eclipse, the Moon is only seen during the day at a far opposite side of the sky from the sun.
Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham has provided equations for finding the time, magnitude, and duration of a Lunar Eclipse at the end of Chapter 11 of Earth Not a Globe.
There is also a possibility that the Shadow Object is a known celestial body which orbits the sun, and which projects its shadow upon the moon; but more study would be needed to track the positions of Mercury, Venus and the sun's asteroid satellites and correlate them with the equations for the lunar eclipse before any conclusion could be drawn.

5) Celestial Bodies Not Visible
During the day the celestial bodies near the sun are invisible. An example of this is seen in the appearance of the Moon during the Solar Eclipse. The Moon seems to appear out of nowhere to intersect the Sun.
Another example of the sky-colored moon is seen in the timeanddate.com Solar Eclipse simulations.
Ancient and Modern Astronomers
The reason the ancient societies such as the Greeks and Babylonians were able to predict the Lunar Eclipses was because the predictions are based on recurring charts and tables of past eclipses. Modern Astronomers still use the same pattern prediction methods. It had nothing to do with the shape of the Earth or the actual geometry of the system. The Lunar Eclipse is a phenomenon which comes in patterns. By studying these patterns it is possible to predict when the next transit or eclipse will occur. The astronomer can use historic charts and tables with a few equations to predict the time, magnitude, and duration of a future eclipse.
This does not apply only to the eclipse, either: All recurring phenomena such as the transits of planets, occultations of bodies, and precision of paths across the sky are predicable only because they are phenomena which come in patterns. Astronomers predict celestial events by studying the patterns and predicting when the next occurrence will occur.
Modern Eclipse Models
Q. But what about NASA's yearly lunar eclipse predictions? They must be based on a geometric model, and not simply cycles in the sky, surely?
A. NASA freely admits that they use ancient cycle charts for their eclipse predictions. The Saros Cycle and those old ancient methods which simply look at past patterns in the sky to predict the next one is precisely how "modern theorists" predict the lunar eclipse today.
Why the Lunar Eclipse is Red
One explanation is that the Lunar Eclipse is red because the light of the sun is shining through the body of the Shadow Object which passes between the Sun and Moon during a Lunar Eclipse. The red tint occurs because the Shadow Object is not sufficiently dense. The Sun's light is powerful enough to shine through the Shadow Object, just as a flashlight is powerful enough to shine through your hand when you put it right up against your palm.

The Full Lunar Eclipse Does Not Prove The Earth is Spherical
Another assumption and supposed proof of Earth ’s shape, Heliocentrists claim that lunar eclipses are caused by the shadow of the ball-Earth occulting the Moon. The idea is that the Sun, Earth , and Moon spheres perfectly align like three billiard balls in a row so that the Sun’s light casts the Earth ’s shadow onto the Moon. Unfortunately for Heliocentrists, this explanation is rendered completely invalid due to the fact that lunar eclipses have happened and continue to happen regularly when both the Sun and Moon are still visible together above the horizon! For the Sun’s light to be casting Earth ’s shadow onto the Moon, the three bodies must be aligned in a straight 180-degree syzygy.
“According to the globular theory, a lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth , and moon are in a direct line; but it is on record that since about the fifteenth century over fifty eclipses have occurred while both sun and moon have been visible above the horizon.” -F.H. Cook, “The Terrestrial Plane”
As early as the time of Pliny, there are records of lunar eclipses happening while both the Sun and Moon are visible in the sky. The Greenwich Royal Observatory recorded that “during the lunar eclipses of July 17th, 1590, November 3rd, 1648, June 16th, 1666, and May 26th, 1668 the moon rose eclipsed whilst the sun was still above the horizon.” McColloch’s Geography recorded that “on September 20th, 1717 and April 20th, 1837 the moon appeared to rise eclipsed before the sun had set.” Sir Henry Holland also noted in his “Recollections of Past Life” the April 20th, 1837 phenomena where “the moon rose eclipsed before the sunset.” The Daily Telegraph recorded it happening again on January 17th, 1870, then again in July of the same year, and it continues to happen during lunar eclipses to this day. Therefore, the eclipser of the Moon cannot be the Earth /Earth 's shadow and another explanation must be sought.
But for arguments sake, let’s pretend the Heliocentric Model has some merit and examine its internal logic for constituency and solidity.
First of all, the entire Heliocentric Lunar Eclipse Model is based upon the wild assertion that the Sun's diameter is about 400 times larger than that of the Moon and the Sun is also 400 times farther from Earth . So the Sun and Moon appear nearly the same size as seen from Earth . All of this is just crazy coincidence, right? What are the odds? Or could it be fabricated, manufactured rubbish, reinforced with slick mathematics and zero empirical evidence to fit a contrived Heliocentric Model, repackaged from Pythagorean Occult Heliocentrism by Jesuit controlled, Copernicus? And from this manufactured coincidental phenomenon of the Sun and Moon’s Goldilocks’ sizes and distances, we get the idea that the Sun is a huge burning ball, 94 million miles away. So that is the first problem with the Heliocentric Lunar Eclipse theory. It assumes a lot of wildly improbable, unprovable variables and relationships, which are assumed though mathematics instead of empirical observation, and then pretends they are facts to construct a model.
A major talking point for Heliocentrism is that he Earth must be passing in between the Sun and Moon to cause the curved shadow we see during a Lunar Eclipse. It is their number one selling point in defense of the Globe Model. After all, they say, “What else could cause a curved shadow on the Moon, and blot out the Moon but the Earth ’s shadow?” Further, they say, “A Lunar Eclipse ONLY happens when the Earth is directly in between the Sun and The Moon, so what else could it be?” However, the assumption that The Earth is even in orbit at all in order for it to come between the Sun and The Moon falls under the category of “Tail Wagging the Dog Fallacy”.
The expression, “Tail Wagging the Dog” is an idiomatic expression used when a minor or secondary part of something is controlling or dominating the whole or the main part. Heliocentrism makes this error when they claim, without empirical proof, that The Earth is in between the Sun and The Moon during a Lunar Eclipse. Asserting that a Lunar Eclipse happens ONLY when the Earth is directly in between the Sun and the Moon makes the logical fallacy of assuming the Heliocentric Model is correct in order to assert that the Heliocentric Model is correct. Only in the Heliocentric Model does a Lunar Eclipse occur when the Earth is between the Sun and The Moon. That does not even remotely mean that this model is correct. It is one assumption built on a prior assumption, which is a very common type of error in the Heliocentric Model.
Additional Assumptions that are Made by the Heliocentric Model Include
- The Earth is Spinning
- The Earth is moving in Outer Space, orbiting around The Sun
- The Earth is Spherical
- The Moon is Spinning
- The Sun is 94 Million Miles Away From The Earth
- The Moon is 294,000 Miles Away From The Earth
- There are no other bodies in the sky besides the Moon and The Sun in the Lunar Eclipse Model (This has never been proven)
*All of these assumptions add up to create a false narrative about what is really happening so that a secondary set of false explanations may be derived from the initial false data. The end result is a manipulated conclusion based upon regressive nested false assumptions.
The Components of the Heliocentric Lunar Eclipse Model
The Earth ’s Penumbra and Umbra
The Penumbra is the region in which only a portion of the light source is obscured by the occluding body. An observer in the penumbra experiences a partial eclipse. An alternative definition is that the penumbra is the region where some or all of the light source is obscured (i.e., the umbra is a subset of the penumbra)
According the Heliocentric Model, The Umbra is a shadow's dark core. Imagine a light source and an object casting a shadow. If you are standing within the umbra, you will not be able to see any part of the light source as the object blocks all direct light rays. During a total lunar eclipse, the entire Moon enters the Earth ’s umbra. (Shadow), as the Heliocentric story goes.
The Earth ’s Penumbra and the Reddish Moon at Lunar Eclipse
Ok, so, in the Heliocentric Model, the Earth ’s shadow has two parts: the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is not pitch black because a small amount of the Sun’s energy directly shines within the penumbra of the Earth ’s atmosphere. As light passes through the atmosphere, the blue colors are scattered out of the path. Those with longer wavelengths, like red and orange, pass through the atmosphere. This red-orange light is then bent or refracted around Earth , hitting the surface of the Moon and giving it the reddish-orange glow that total lunar eclipses are famous for. Subsequently, if our planet had no atmosphere, then the Moon would be completely dark during a total lunar eclipse.
Rayleigh Scattering And Cause of The Blue Color in The Sky
Why is the sky blue? The short answer: Sunlight reaches Earth 's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by air molecules, water molecules, and dust and gases particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. The amount of bending of the light depends on the angle of incidence and on the indices of refraction of glass and air, which determine the change in speed. This is Snell's law, or the Law of Refraction.
Sunlight reaches Earth 's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth 's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
The longer explanation: Rayleigh Scattering causes the blue color of the daytime sky and the reddening of the Sun at sunset. Rayleigh scattering, named after the nineteenth-century British physicist Lord Rayleigh, is the predominantly elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation. For light frequencies well below the resonance frequency of the scattering particle (normal dispersion regime), the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength.
Scattered blue light is polarized. The strong wavelength dependence of the scattering (~λ−4) means that shorter (blue) wavelengths are scattered more strongly than longer (red) wavelengths. This results in the indirect blue light coming from all regions of the sky. Rayleigh scattering is a good approximation of the manner in which light scattering occurs within various media for which scattering particles have a small size (parameter). —Wikipedia
The explanation for the reddish tints seen in the sky at either end of the day lies in Rayleigh scattering. As it passes through layers in the atmosphere, shorter wavelength light is scattered more than longer wavelength light.
Sunlight is made up of all the colors of the visible light spectrum – red, orange, yellow, green blue, purple, which may seem familiar as all the colors of the rainbow.
Rainbows appear when the different wavelengths get broken up through refraction and scattering in the atmosphere. Basically, as the light passes through different densities in the air, the light bends, kind of like it does in a prism and bounces off tiny particles that are in the air. This also explains why, during the day, the sky is blue. The particles that are in the atmosphere scatter sunlight so that the blue wavelengths are not absorbed, but reflected.
At sunset the same things happen, but because of the angle of the sun and the volume of gas and therefore the density of gas that the light passes through changes, the sky takes on a reddish glow from the longer wavelengths in the visible light spectrum.
Is a Reddish Moon at Lunar Eclipse Probable?
Ok, but the question remains, after the blue light from the Earth ’s atmosphere is scattered into oblivion, leaving predominantly longer red wavelength light, could this refracted red wavelength be transmitted 294,000 miles to the Moon to create the reddish Moon that we observe during a Lunar Eclipse? Is a reddish Moon at lunar eclipse probable? Well, what if you are standing on The Earth ? Are reddish sunsets probable? Yes, of course they are. The Sun’s rays are refracted and you may see a reddish sunset. That makes sense. But, standing on the Earth , you are just a few thousand miles from all that atmospheric layering. That is very close, compared to refracting all the way to the Moon and then bathing the Moon in red light. It is possible, but is it absolutely an uncontestable fact? Highly debatable. And again, this model assumes the Sun is huge ball 94 million miles away, which has never been proven. Our eyes tell us the Sun is very close to the Earth , in the Earth ’s atmosphere, and the same size as the Moon. Again, it’s the tail wagging the dog error. One has to go against everything his senses tell him to imagine a distant Sun, which is necessary for the Heliocentric Lunar Eclipse Model to work.
In other words, the Sunlight’s refraction around the Earth to create a reddish Moon at Lunar Eclipse is no proof of a Heliocentric Model. Rather it ASSUMES the Heliocentric Model first, and then reverse engineers the variables it needs to make it work. It a masterpiece of reverse engineering, as opposed to an empirically observable model. That is allowed in science, but calling it a fact is not a scientifically allowed statement.
In other words, the Heliocentric Model is still a highly debatable theory.
The Moon does not completely darken as it passes through the umbra because of the refraction of sunlight by Earth 's atmosphere into the shadow cone; if Earth had no atmosphere, the Moon would be completely dark during the eclipse.”—Wikipedia
Though Wikipedia’s definition falsely assumes its cause of a Lunar Eclipse, it does confirm one important fact. “The Moon does not completely darken” as it goes through what has been wrongly labelled a “Lunar Eclipse.” The Moon never fully disappears as if the Earth is blocking the light of the Sun completely in the umbra shadow of The Earth , and refracting red light to make it appear red. This is just a science fiction explanation from science fiction NASA and science fiction writers in Astrophysics.
So what is really happening? Well here is an alternative theory. You decide for yourself which explanation seems more plausible.
Ok, a Lunar 'eclipse' happens at night. When it happens, the Moon turns orange in color. This is caused when the Sun and Moon line up with the center of the disk Earth . The Sunlight goes through the strong magnetic field of the north pole, and the sunlight turns orange. And that light then hits the Moon. Since the sunlight is orange, it makes the moon appear orange as in this image. The Moon must be at same altitude as the Sun in order for this to happen. That's why it doesn't happen very often and is a rare event. Thus, as you can see, the phenomenon of the 'orange moon' is not an eclipse at all but is caused by the North Pole's magnetic field.
The Shape of a Sphere’s Shadow on a Sphere
As young children, we all learn about the solar system. Many children have many questions about what they learn, but before they can become too critical of the knowledge being transmitted to them. Additionally, a lot of brainwashing and indoctrination via school, Hollywood, TV, and NASA and the media provide compelling substitutes and distractions to any individual inquiry about the natural world a child lives in. The native proclivity for a child to observe the world with fresh and honest eyes is swiftly replaced by an incessant barrage of CGI images and paintings of Earth and the falsely called, “The Solar System”. Often, these images have little or no semblance to the natural world that a child actually observes. Rather, these CGI and hand drawn images reflect the science fiction world of Hollywood and NASA, with heightened hues, lofty billowing celestial landscapes, and vivid coloration that looks exactly like computer enhanced images.
Then the child runs into the Flat Earth model of the Earth in later years and BAM!!!, everything he/she ever thought to be true is suddenly topsy-turvy and under speculation and suspicion. Suddenly, all of these questions, direct sense-data images, and concerns from childhood come rushing back to the forefront of consciousness.
Some of the most important realms of learning in existence, science, math, geometry, and physics can be taught through the arts. When we are learning about topics like physics, geometry, math, chemistry, etc… we are stimulating the left brain but when we incorporate the right brain, disciplines like the arts, dance, and music serve to fully integrate what we are learning into a holistic experience. One hemisphere without the other exists with a severe handicap. Further, when we engage both hemispheres of the brain, that empowers our subconscious to connect dots in such ways that present an opportunity to problem-solve for a bigger, more panoramic fashion.
People who engage their left and right brain while learning also incorporate both while problem-solving. This is how artsy people are able to think “outside the box”. In fact, the visual arts are so important and impactful to society that the great artists of yesterday were actually given the subject matter to paint The Elite. Concurrently, The Elite controlled the subject matter for the artists the very same way they control a performing or a recording artist today. They give them the general outlines and then give the artist their leeway to put their personal spin on it or to make it “their own”, so to speak.
Michelangelo detested the process he endured by his most famous work the Sistine Chapel. He was actually ordered by the church to produce the masterpiece on the ceiling. It was definitely not his preferred way to work…upside down. Nevertheless, although he was given the subject matter, it was Michelangelo who physically rendered and mixed the paints and painted it, and it is still influencing and inspiring people today.
The imaginative power of an artist as unrivaled by any other character type, it can be argued. It is sometimes a burden having such photographic, true-to-life memory. Haunting and horrible images that are not intended to be retained by anyone stay with an artist long after they appear in the window of their mind. Twisted horrifying images can be made realistic in nightmares, film, or even in waking life description, as when someone is describing a surgery or an accident. The graphic reconstruction in the artists mind is so real he or she almost feels the pain right then and there.
Most people who are fully cognizant of the artist powers agree this is why artists are dangerous to the system and why the arts are given as optional school course or are not taken as seriously as other career choices. If two people told you their professions, one a math teacher and the other an arts teacher, you would probably judge the math teacher to be smarter, more wise, or more trustworthy, or more dependable or more professional, or even more deserving of your respect and patience, which is odd because everyone can learn math and how to count numbers but not everyone can compose a moving song or paint an emotionally stirring picture. Yet no matter how hard someone who is not born with an artistic inclination may try. They may never be able to develop the talent it takes to render a powerful family portrait or a sweeping landscape in acrylics, or the correct color of the midnight moon.
And with the eyes of an artist, using our senses and an artist’s bag if rendering tricks, let’s now transition to the Moon. Allow me to now share information that will close the case, once and forever, on the possibility or the falsity of The Moon being a sphere. The Moon is 100% absolutely not spherical and any lunar eclipse proves it. Again, using the eyes of an artist, and understanding how artists create the illusion of form gives away the game of the Moon’s true shape. You can prove it too. All you need is a light source. What you will learn is that a sphere moving over a sphere actually DOES NOT looks like a lunar eclipse, as we have been told. It does not, I repeat, does not create a shadow of a sphere or anything else circular while moving across a spherical object.
How do we know this? There are four critical points of observation everyone should be looking, and these may be referred to as:
1)The confirmation to surface factor
2)The shadow diffusion factor
3)The sine wave or “S” factor
4)The reflected light factor
Firstly, I would like to point out the consistency of how a shadow naturally moves along varied surface types. This is the confirmation factor. A shadow will conform to any shape that a surface takes, thus in essence, revealing the true shape of an object. If a shadow moves along something rigid, like stairs for instance, it will take the stairs’ shape, revealing the level differential from step to step. If a shadow moves along a concave object like a bowl, the shadow will stretch and skew, revealing the concavity of the bowl. If a shadow was to move over the surface of a sphere, it would stretch and skew in a spherical manner rapping and receding as it bevels and distorts along the spheres surface.
Note that this does not and has never happened on the surface of the Moon during an eclipse.
This fact brings us to our next factor: the shadow diffusion factor. Again note, a shadow is more crisp on the edge of a bowl than it is in the lowest portion of the bowl. Also, it sharpens as it rises back up to the edge or the source of the shadow. Note also, that on a sphere the shadow is most diffused or scattered around the edges as the spheres surface recedes and it is the most sharp or defined on the closest portion of the sphere. This is because the closer the source of the shadow is to the surface the more defined its edges, and the further the source of the shadow is from the surface, the larger and more faded or diffused it becomes.
Another way to say this is if you place an object on a surface with a light source above, the objects shadow will appear most sharp when the object is at rest but lift the object closer to its light source, and you will see the shadow lose its crisp edges and dull or fade away, sometimes to the point where little to no shadow remains. This is the shadow diffusion factor and in conjunction with the first factor, the confirmation to the surface factor, the shadow not only rises and falls, and stretches and skews with the surface, but it also sharpens and dulls.
These two factors are almost all we need to find the true topography or shape of The Moon, and yet another factor exists. This is called the sine wave factor or “S” factor. Because the Moon is said to be a sphere, the shadow that is projected onto the Moon should also take on the characteristics of the sphere this critical factor does not appear on the Moon's eclipses whatsoever. The sine wave factor or the “S” factor is what happens as an object, round or straight, spherical or bent, passes over a spheres surface. As a shadow moves a sphere, it is wrapping around its curve, starting from the outer edge and moving towards the middle. The shadow takes on the spherical contour and bends upward at its height and then falls backwards in a distorted barrel manner. The shadow will always follow the closest edge due to perspective. The shadow will continue to create the “S” shape until it reaches the halfway point. As the shadow moves beyond the halfway point, it begins to bevel outward again in a distorted barrel manner. When a shadow moves along a 3d sphere, the center or closest part of the sphere to the observer is the most flat and the shadows shape and size the most true to life. The sphere will never be flat, but the bigger the sphere is, the less acute the angle of its curvature because the innermost portion of the sphere is the closest to the observer.
Very little curvature is observed, however, when we observe any lunar eclipse. There is no wrapping, stretching, skewing, sharpening, or dulling of the shadow. In fact, every single lunar eclipse looks as if there is one flat disc moving across another flat disc. This is an inescapable fact that no Heliocentrist can deny. It is a fact of basic light and optics. Even supposed Optics Master, Sir Issac Newton, would have to confess to this fact.
Again, as the circular eclipse shadow moves along the Moon it maintains its circular shape the whole way at the same pace with no stretching, no skewing, no sharpening, or dulling. Hopefully, these facts can shake a person out of his/her dull hypnotic stupor regarding the Moons true topology. These three factors are more than sufficient enough for us to see that the Moon is not a sphere. Nevertheless, yet another factor exits to confirm the true topology of The Moon. This fourth factor is needed to realize the Moon's surroundings. That fourth factor is reflected light.
The reflected light factor concerns the way in which light reflects off of adjacent bodies. When two objects are under the same light source in close proximity, BOTH objects should exhibit reflection artifacts and light distortion waves, mutually. If the Moon is said to be composed of a gray, dusty epidermis, which is sufficient to reach the Earth with its reflected sunlight, then The Earth , with its highly reflective sheath of water, nitrogen and hydron laden atmosphere would be far more reflective of the Sun’s rays than the Moon. Such being the case, we would expect to see the Sun’s reflected light coming from the Earth to The Moon. The Moon it should exhibit light bouncing off from the Earth and reflecting onto the Moon.
However, we do not see this. Just think about it. The Earth is far larger than Moon with a far larger rejective surface and yet we do not see any Sunlight reflected from it on The Moon, ever. In the Heliocentric lie they tell us that the Moon is reflecting sunlight to the Earth , but what about the bigger object, the Earth reflecting light to The Moon? It should but it doesn't because if it did, we would then have no clear cut, new Moon phase, but instead, we’d have a dull, nebulous, hazy Moon phase, or a dim Moon phase, meaning as the Moon wanes to darkness it should then be illuminated by the Earth because in that phase, The Sun is facing the Earth and therefore, the sunlight should be reflecting upon the darkened Moon. This is child level optics. Anyone can comprehend this. We should still be able to see the same face of the Moon that we see every day, yet we do??? It should NEVER be totally dark, yet it is???
Especially when the Moon is further and closer to the Earth on its supposed elliptical path it should brighten and dim. I repeat, speaking exclusively from New Moon to New Moon, the Moon should still be visible on that New Moon phase transitioning from dim to slightly brighter.
Also, as the Moon moves in its alleged elliptical orbit, it should reflect its surface color. Any object reflects the color of its surface and the color of its light source. A gold chain will reflect gold, a green ball will bounce green light, and its reflection on the object will be green. The Sun's light is yellow and warm while the Moon's light is blue and cool. Astronauts report the Moon is black and white whatever that means???? but if that means it's a scale of grays running from white to black then it is impossible for the Moon to convert the Sun's light from a warm temperature and yellow color to a cool temperature and blue color.
Additionally, the Moon's light is colder than the Moon's shade. In other words, when the Moon is full, with the alleged full reflection of Sunlight upon the Earth , that light is COOLER than the shade under the trees of a Full Moon. Let that sink in. The Moon casts a COOLER light that the temperature of the Earth with no Moon. This is very significant. This reveals how the Moon may very well be its own light source and that it actually does not reflect the Sun’s light, after all. Rather, it may be a transducer of sorts, a kind of electrical negative pole with the Sun acting as an electronic positive pole. In this model, the Moon is simply a transducer of the conductive energy of the Sun, in the same way your car battery does not reflect the positive pole of your car battery, but rather it simply conducts from it negatively. We can understand the Moon cooling down the Sun's rays because of the alleged distance between these two bodies and making it less hot but in no way is it possible for it to actually make the Sun's rays colder than the shade at night.
*It must be added that the light source size, distance, and angle used in this experiment needs to be further addressed.
*When we view a lunar eclipse, we are viewing it from the night-side of Earth , standing between the object casting the shadow (Earth ) and the object receiving the shadow (the moon). To model this, the camera should be placed DIRECTLY BETWEEN the two spheres, facing toward the sphere onto which the shadow is cast. If the video-maker did that, we would see the shadow looks just like a lunar eclipse.
Rahu and Ketu: Possibly These Two Bodies May be Responsible for both Lunar and Solar Eclipses
The Full Lunar eclipse may come from something as simple as the periodic and perennial reoccurrence of Rahu and or Ketu, two celestial bodies not talked about in Greek/Roman Pantheon of Planets.
Rahu (Sanskrit: राहु) (U+260A.svg) is one of the nine major astronomical bodies (Navagraha) in Indian texts. Unlike the other eight, Rahu is a shadow entity, one that causes eclipses and is the king of meteors. Rahu represents the ascension of the moon in its processional orbit around the Earth .
Rahu is usually paired with Ketu. The time of day considered to be under the influence of Rahu is called Rāhu kāla and is considered inauspicious.
As per Vedic astrology Rahu and Ketu have an orbital cycle of 18 years and are always 180 degrees from each other orbitally (as well as in the birth charts). This coincides with the processional orbit of moon or the ~18-year rotational cycle of the lunar ascending and descending nodes on the Earth ’s ecliptic plane. This also corresponds to a saros, a period of approximately 223 synodic months (approximately 6585.3211 days, or 18 years, 11 days, 8 hours), that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon. Rahu rules the zodiac sign of Aquarius together with Shani.
Astronomically, Rahu and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the Sun and the Moon as they move on the celestial sphere. Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the north and the south lunar nodes. The fact that eclipses occur when the Sun and the Moon are at one of these points gives rise to the understanding of swallowing of the Sun and the Moon by the snake. Rahu is responsible for causing the Eclipse of the Sun.

North to South Shadow Path During Lunar Eclipse
When the Moon enters Earth 's Umbra (shadow) during a Full Lunar Eclipse, the darkening of the Moon's progresses from left to right. On any given day, you see the moon rise in the east and (apparently) travel across the sky from your left to the right; therefore, you would assume (incorrectly) that the leading edge of the moon's movement must be to the right. That is not correct. The apparent motion you are seeing is predominantly from the Earth 's 24 hour rotation. But the orbit of the moon is ACTUALLY from west to east as it revolves around the Earth every 29.5 days.
If you were looking down at the Earth -moon-sun system far above the ecliptic over the north pole, you would see the Earth spinning in a counter-clockwise direction and the moon is also revolving around the Earth in a counter-clockwise direction.
So forget about the Earth 's rotation for a moment; it has nothing to do with the moon passing into the Earth 's shadow (i.e. the eclipse.) Look at the diagram below, and place yourself on that little ball labeled "Earth " and look into the night sky. Which side of the moon is covered first as it passes behind the Earth ’s Umbra during Full Lunar Eclipse shadow cast by the Earth ? What do you see? The Moon travels Left to right.
Oh so, Houston we have a problem. There are numerous videos of the alleged Earth ’s shadow passing North West to South East during a Full Lunar Eclipse. This could not happen if it was actually The Earth ’s shadow passing over the Moon. According to the Heliocentric theory, the Earth is not in the correct position to create such a trajectory. Hence, something else must be at play here. Whether we know what it is, exactly, is not the point. We simply know something else must be at play during a Full Lunar Eclipse than merely the Earth ’s Umbra causing the shadow across the Moon.
Selenelion: Checkmate and The Earth is Officially Flat
A Selenelion occurs when both the Sun and an eclipsed Moon can be observed at the same time. This can occur only just before sunset or just after sunrise, when both bodies will appear just above the horizon at nearly opposite points in the sky. This arrangement has led to the phenomenon being also called a horizontal eclipse. Theoretically, in the Heliocentric Model this event should be impossible.
From the Heliocentric perspective, during a total lunar eclipse, the position of the Sun, Earth , and Moon is in a straight line. In this configuration, both the Sun and Moon should not be visible at the same time during a lunar eclipse.
But it turns out the atmosphere of the Earth refracts light. As a result, the actual position of the Moon is about 0.5° lower than where it appears. And the same thing happens with the Sun at the opposite point in the sky. If you are in a particularly ideal time zone where the eclipse is in progress at moonrise or moonset, you have the peculiar chance to be able to see both the Sun and the eclipsed Moon in the sky at the same time. This is how it is possible to observe both objects in the sky at the same time during a total lunar eclipse.
While certainly not impossible, it is a very rare and unique phenomenon, and can only happen at specific place and time during the progression of a total lunar eclipse.
Ok, The Problem with The Heliocentric Explanation
The problem with this refractory explanation is that both the Sun and The Moon have been sited FAR ABOVE the 0.5 degrees (Sometime 10 to 18 degrees higher!) of refractory angle allowed by natural physics. It could not have been refraction. The Sun and The Moon are actually, not just apparently, in clear view during a Selenelion Total Lunar Eclipse, which completely destroys the Heliocentric explanation of Earth ’s Umbra as the cause of Lunar Eclipses. It doesn’t happen every time during a lunar eclipse. But if it even happened once, it would debunk the standard explanation of eclipses. And in reality, it’s happened many times. Something other than The Earth must be causing the shadow across the Moon during a Total Lunar Eclipse.
Selenelion Proves The Flat Earth
The moon is not lit by the sun, Selenelion eclipses throw a wrench in the heliocentric model. They are dubbed the IMPOSSIBLE ECLIPSE for a reason. The reason they are impossible is because a shadow on the TOP of the moon is impossible if the moon is supposed to be lit by the sun with the shadow being cast from the Earth , lol. So they have an excuse for this.. which is presented in the video, they claim the light is hitting the moon from beneath the Earth !
The moon emits cooling light vs light that is warm from the sun. This has been proven with laser temperature gauges countless times. In the shadow of the moon it is warmer than in the actual moonlight. If the moon was reflecting light from the sun, that light would be warm, it's that simple. So when you have this basic principle of temperature being shown with basic experimentation, concluding that the moon is lit by the sun is impossible. From there when evidence does not support a moon being lit by the sun, the rest of the model falls completely apart and the need to explore the surface we are standing on becomes the main focus. The way the sky works can be completely figured out once we know the true extent of the land we are on.
For now everything above our head appears smaller, closer and rotating above us, rather than the Earth rotating around a sun. Add to that.. the FACT we see the same constellations .. while we hurdle the sun at 67,000MPH? LMAO… Are you catching on yet? Ballers? Or are you still going to maintain your "belief" in a cartoon ball? If so.. well lets BET on an Antarctic crossing.. if that can't be done.. let’s RACE 60 North Latitude vs South 60th latitude. If South is wider.. it's not a ball, that simple.. and that race can't be blocked, it doesn't cross the South 59th latitude race.

Moon as Projection With An Object Passing BEHIND it
What if the Moon was actually a projection from an atmospheric layer beyond the Firmament ? If Heliocentrism assume their model. Let us now assume The Flat Earth Model to be true, and view the Moon as a projection, where some celestial body passes BEHIND it, beyond the Firmament to create the Total Lunar Eclipse we observe. It is not provable but neither is the heliocentric explanation so it is just as good as any.
And as the shadowy body passes behind the Moon, it would finally turn the Moon red as the watery blue light above The Firmament would scatter more, due to its shorter wavelengths, allowing the longer wavelength red light to create the reddish Moon we see during a Lunar Eclipse. (Raleigh Scattering)
Stars Passing Behind The Moon?
So, there have been many sightings of Stars passing behind the Moon during Full Lunar Eclipses. Many people try to deny it, but hundreds of films from hundreds of different sources do not lie. The Moon may be a non-solid, translucent body, or even a projection for all we know. We just do not know.
Quick and Dirty Heliocentrism Debunk #1
A total lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node on Friday, 27 July 2018. The Moon passed through the center of Earth 's shadow in what was the first central lunar eclipse since 15 June 2011
This Lunar Eclipse was photographed from all over the world, from the USA, Australia, Asia, and Africa at the same time. This would be physically impossible on a Globe. These are land masses that are on the opposite sides of the alleged globe. You would have to see though the Earth with an x-ray vision to accomplish this.
The proof is in hundreds of cases of uploaded footage, posted on You Tube, worldwide, for anyone to see at any time, posted directly after of the Lunar Eclipse, making the proof undeniable.
Quick and Dirty Heliocentrism Debunk #2
Hundreds of telescopic camera pictures have been taken of the Moon with Stars clearly present BEHIND it, suggesting that the Moon is translucent, and nothing NASA could land upon. With the increase in personal ownership of advanced telescopic camera technology, now thousands are exploring the Moon and realizing it is nothing like NASA portrayed Her.
Again, the proof is in numerous of cases of uploaded footage, posted on You Tube, worldwide, for anyone to see at any time.

Dry Earth : Pre-Antediluvian Topology According to Rob Taylor
70% of the face of the Earth is now covered with water. Prior to the flood of Noah, only 15% was water - meaning that MOST of the now oceans were dry land. Yes, all the "sunken cities" and all the "Atlantis" mythology are not sunken but were once open-air cities. This is yet more of the matrix lie from the Luciferians trying to erase all Biblical knowledge. Seek God, seek truth, and find it in the Scripture. Yes, the Bible contains only a fraction of it - there are many more writings than just the Catholic narrow slice of misleading limited lore, and beware to check the translation of the very material in any Bible of Catholic origin.
The “Tectonic Plates” theory is another myth promulgated from the "university" to hide reality and hide the Flood of Noah which proves the Bible and the existence of God. Anyone who lives according to the "science" of the "publik skewels" is bound to their myth, which is the greatest collection of lies the world has ever known.
The entire "Atlantis" story is no different than the "moon landing" - a myth. The liars invented the lie of "Atlantis" no differently than they did Santa Claus but to conceal the fact that the flood covered the remnants of entire Biblical civilizations beneath the oceans - thus proving the veracity of the Bible and the history of the Earth as told by the ancient Hebrews, instead of the Greeks, which destroys the myths taught in the “skewels” by the Greek-style liars.
When average citizens learn of massive civilizations under the oceans, the liars quickly declare "Atlantis", and "we know nothing about the oceans" to conceal and deceive entire populations away from the real history of the Earth .
How was life like before The Flood? There was no rain - only mist, and there were no oceans, only plains that are now the ocean floor covered by seawater. The life we know now on Earth is radically different that before The Flood of Noah. Imagine the possibility of traveling to any point now on the ocean floor as if it were open land…because it was.
The fact of The Flood of Noah is therefore as compelling and destructive of “school science” as Flat Earth .
In short, only 15% of The Earth was covered in water before The Flood of Noah

Smooth Earth : Earth Topology in the Time of Christ According to Rob Taylor
Smooth Earth Before Christ
The following scripture records the tumult on the face of the Earth following the death of Christ.
And thus the face of the whole Earth became deformed, because of the tempests, and the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the quaking of the Earth .
And behold, the rocks were rent in twain; they were broken up upon the face of the whole Earth , insomuch that they were found in broken fragments, and in seams and in cracks, upon all the face of the land.
North America
And there was a great and terrible destruction in the land southward.
But behold, there was a more great and terrible destruction in the land northward; for behold, the whole face of the land was changed, because of the tempest and the whirlwinds, and the thunderings and the lightnings, and the exceedingly great quaking of the whole Earth ;
And the highways were broken up, and the level roads were spoiled, and many smooth places became rough.
Smooth Earth
No tall, jagged mountains, (i.e., Himalayas or Rocky Mountains), existed before the death of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon records that before the death of Christ all rocks were found in one main seam such that at the death of Christ all rocks were broken up. Imagine The Flood of Noah having to cover to the height level of Mt. Everest and remember water is flat all across the Earth - that is a lot of water.
It makes more sense if the Himalayas or any such tall mountains did not exist prior to the death of Christ, such that The Flood only covered rolling hills a few thousand feet high, or less.
Multiple photos show trees and topsoil at the summits, proving the soil did not wash away in the flood of Noah. The topsoil rose up with the mountains and is there to this day, save for erosion from rain. Otherwise, no topsoil would remain - it would have washed away with The Flood. No tall mountains existed until the death of Christ, and they all formed in the space of three hours - per the Holy Scripture.
Thus Scripture informs and radically alters our understanding of "Earth history" as taught in the occult, “publik,” schools.
So now we must recognize the lie from the "schools" and observe Flat Earth , Dry Earth , and Smooth Earth .

Smooth Earth Before Christ: The Following Scripture Records The Tumult on The Face of The Earth Following The Death of Christ
Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Luke 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the Earth until the ninth hour.
3 Nephi 8
And thus the face of the whole Earth became deformed, because of the tempests, and the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the quaking of the Earth .
And behold, the rocks were rent in twain; they were broken up upon the face of the whole Earth , insomuch that they were found in broken fragments, and in seams and in cracks, upon all the face of the land.
[North America]
And there was a great and terrible destruction in the land southward.
But behold, there was a more great and terrible destruction in the land northward; for behold, the whole face of the land was changed, because of the tempest and the whirlwinds, and the thunderings and the lightnings, and the exceedingly great quaking of the whole Earth ;
And the highways were broken up, and the level roads were spoiled, and many smooth places became rough.
3 Nephi 8
5 And it came to pass in the thirty and fourth year, in the first month, on the fourth day of the month, there arose a great storm, such an one as never had been known in all the land.
6 And there was also a great and terrible tempest; and there was terrible thunder, insomuch that it did shake the whole Earth as if it was about to divide asunder.
7 And there were exceedingly sharp lightnings, such as never had been known in all the land.
8 And the city of Zarahemla did take fire.
9 And the city of Moroni did sink into the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants thereof were drowned.
10 And the Earth was carried up upon the city of Moronihah, that in the place of the city there became a great mountain.
11 And there was a great and terrible destruction in the land southward.
12 But behold, there was a more great and terrible destruction in the land northward; for behold, the whole face of the land was changed, because of the tempest and the whirlwinds, and the thunderings and the lightnings, and the exceedingly great quaking of the whole Earth ;
13 And the highways were broken up, and the level roads were spoiled, and many smooth places became rough.
14 And many great and notable cities were sunk, and many were burned, and many were shaken till the buildings thereof had fallen to the Earth , and the inhabitants thereof were slain, and the places were left desolate.
15 And there were some cities which remained; but the damage thereof was exceedingly great, and there were many in them who were slain.
16 And there were some who were carried away in the whirlwind; and whither they went no man knoweth, save they know that they were carried away.
17 And thus the face of the whole Earth became deformed, because of the tempests, and the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the quaking of the Earth .
18 And behold, the rocks were rent in twain; they were broken up upon the face of the whole Earth , insomuch that they were found in broken fragments, and in seams and in cracks, upon all the face of the land.
19 And it came to pass that when the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the storm, and the tempest, and the quaking of the Earth did cease—for behold, they did last for about the space of three hours; and it was said by some that the time was greater; nevertheless, all these great and terrible things were done in about the space of three hours—and then behold, there was darkness upon the face of the land.
20 And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon all the face of the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof who had not fallen could feel the vapor of darkness;
21 And there could be no light, because of the darkness, neither candles, neither torches; neither could there be fire kindled with their fine and exceedingly dry wood, so that there could not be any light at all;
22 And there was not any light seen, neither fire, nor glimmer, neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the stars, for so great were the mists of darkness which were upon the face of the land.
23 And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days that there was no light seen; and there was great mourning and howling and weeping among all the people continually; yea, great were the groanings of the people, because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them.
--Rob Taylor
Few know the Scripture that states clearly that the "whole face of the Earth " changed radically at the time of the death of Christ - in the space of only three hours, and this correlates across all Scripture - such that the face of the land became unrecognizable. This matches the uplift of the mountains and thus provides a Scriptural - and scientifically observable, and thus verifiable - reference for the advent of the tall, jagged mountains we observe on the Earth today and shows these terrain features did not exist prior to the death of Christ.
Scripture relating to the vast destruction of the face of the Earth and the uplift of the mountains:
5 And it came to pass in the thirty and fourth year, in the first month, on the fourth day of the month, there arose a great storm, such an one as never had been known in all the land.
6 And there was also a great and terrible tempest; and there was terrible thunder, insomuch that it did shake the whole Earth as if it was about to divide asunder.
7 And there were exceedingly sharp lightnings, such as never had been known in all the land.
8 And the city of Zarahemla did take fire.
9 And the city of Moroni did sink into the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants thereof were drowned.
10 And the Earth was carried up upon the city of Moronihah, that in the place of the city there became a great mountain.
11 And there was a great and terrible destruction in the land southward.
12 But behold, there was a more great and terrible destruction in the land northward; for behold, the whole face of the land was changed, because of the tempest and the whirlwinds, and the thunderings and the lightnings, and the exceedingly great quaking of the whole Earth ;
13 And the highways were broken up, and the level roads were spoiled, and many smooth places became rough.
14 And many great and notable cities were sunk, and many were burned, and many were shaken till the buildings thereof had fallen to the Earth , and the inhabitants thereof were slain, and the places were left desolate.
15 And there were some cities which remained; but the damage thereof was exceedingly great, and there were many in them who were slain.

You Tube Channel Gibson225: “About Horizons and Objects Being Blocked” Video Proves The Earth is Flat
You Tube Channel Source: Channel Gibson225:
“About Horizons and Objects Being Blocked: https://youtu.be/CMIHH2DaH-Y”
The horizon cuts off the bottom of images at a long stance due to angular compression and perspective at a low camera position. One’s ability to see the lower portion of objects at a distance has everything to do with the height of the observer, and nothing to do with the imaginary curvature of The Earth .
All you need to do is rise up in order to see those windmills in completion. In rising up in altitude, you overcome the low horizon blockage that the ocean is making by your low vantage point. Rise up and suddenly your new horizon includes the lower portion of the windmills, as the imaginary curve of the Earth is revealed as illusion.
***Advance the You Tube video by Astrophysics Professor from Australia Phuket Word, “Perspective on Flat Earth is the Globe Deception” to 29:51 minutes to see how a jogger and runner’s feet are cut off because of the distance these people are from the ground level observer.
The farther a person walks away the less you will see of their lower portion because of the Laws of Perspective and not because of any curvature. In only 100 yards this effect happens, and there is only .047 inches of curvature in 100 yards, according to The Heliocentric Theory, and so an entire person’s lower body could not possible disappear over curvature as a reason for this easily observable effect.
Horizons are different depending on perspective. This You Tube video shows how windmills over a Flat Earth Ocean are truncated and cut off at the horizon due to angular compression. It shows how windmills can appear to be beyond an imaginary curve when in fact the horizon is just cutting off the bottom of the distant image leaving the top blades in view.
We see this same thing when a person walks away from us and we film it. Eventually the person’s feet, then, calves, then legs, and finally their torso disappears the father they walk away from our camera at floor level, which is exactly what this You Tube video demonstrates.
Read “Gibson225 About horizons and objects being blocked” You Tube description that he wrote below his own video:
“Instead of the alleged curvature of Earth being the reason objects on sea getting obscured bottom first, the real reasons for this phenomenon are different than being told. In the first place mainstream science ignores the fact that humans observe the world around us in perspective: parallel lines converge to our eye level just like looking down a long hallway - the walls left and right as well as the ceiling and floor converge to eyelevel , causing us to see what we normally refer to us as 'the horizon'. Let’s call this the perspective- horizon.”
Analysis of Photos From The Newport Beach Foothills (1000 feet), and Corona Del Mar Beach (100 feet), to Avalon, Catalina Island, CA
An amateur photographer, with a website called Astro Landscapes, used the Nikon P950 with a 2000mm polarized lens to shoot a photo of Avalon, Catalina Island, CA from two different positions: The Newport Beach Foothills, CA and Corona Del Mar Beach, CA.
The results of the experiment show Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet MINUS the lower foothill houses in Avalon city, at 118 feet, resulting in 1493 feet of visible Avalon, Catalina landmass if The Earth was flat, which is exactly what we see in the Corona Del Mar Beach photo taken from 100 feet above sea level.
Avalon is the only incorporated city on Santa Catalina Island, in the California Channel Islands. The photos exhibit the mountain range above Avalon Bay, as well as Avalon city, itself. In the mountains above Avalon, the highest elevation is Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet. Google Maps will verify this fact.
Target: Avalon, CA from Two Different Altitudes:
Position 1) The Newport Beach Foothills, CA at approximately 1000 feet high.
Position 2) Corona Del Mar Beach, CA, at approximately 100 feet high.
Experimental Data: (From Google Maps)
1) The distance between from Corona Del Mar Beach, CA at 100 feet, and Avalon, Catalina Island, CA is 31.6 miles
2) Avalon City’s elevation is 30 feet above sea level.
3) The Avalon Bay Shoreline is at sea level.
4) The highest houses in the foothills of Avalon City are at 118 feet.
5) The upside down “T” to the lower right in both photos is at 118 feet. We see this upside down “T” in both photos, and it is the “target” point of reference which constitutes the lowest visible point of Avalon City from the position of Corona Del Mar Beach, CA, at approximately 100 feet high.
6) The highest elevation in the mountain range in the photos above Avalon Bay is Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet.
7) Lone Tree Point at 1611 feet MINUS the highest houses in the foothills of Avalon City are at 118 feet EQUALS 1,493 feet of expected visible Avalon, Catalina landmass from Corona Del Mar Beach, CA at 100 feet.
8) The expected Earth curvature from the Corona Del Mar Beach, CA at 100 feet, to Avalon Bay’s lowest elevation at 30 feet above sea level equals:
- 31.6 miles X 31.6 miles X 8 inches = 7,988.48 inches
- Divided by 12 to get feet = 665.71 feet of expected Earth curvature between Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high and Avalon, Catalina Island at 30 feet high above sea level.
- The adjustment in the difference between the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high “position” and the Avalon, Catalina Island at 30 feet high
“target” altitudes equals:
- Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high MINUS Avalon, Catalina Island at 30 feet high EQUALS 70 feet.
- Since the position of the observer taking the photo is 70 feet higher than the lowest elevation of Avalon, Catalina Island, we need to add 70 feet to the expected Earth curvature of 665.71 feet to arrive at a grand total of 735.71 feet of expected Earth curvature between Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high and Avalon, Catalina Island at 30 feet high above sea level if The Earth was, indeed, spherical.
- Now, if we subtract our grand total of 735.71 feet of expected Earth curvature between Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high and the highest elevation of landmass in the Avalon, Catalina Island photo, which turned out to be Lone Tree Point, with an elevation of 1611 feet, we arrive at 875.29 feet of visible landmass from the top of Lone Tree Point down onto the hills above Avalon City.
When we closely examine both photos side by side, we immediately notice something very odd. The photo taken from the position of Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high was take at an upward angle when compared to the photo taken at The Newport Beach Foothills, CA at approximately 1000 feet high. It is easy to tell that this was happening because there is over 100 to 150 feet more sky showing above the Avalon mountain range behind Avalon city in the Corona Del Mar Beach photo at 100 feet high than there is in the Newport Beach Foothills, CA at approximately 1000 feet high.
Whoever took this photo either, maliciously or unknowingly, changed the angle of his Avalon Bay target a few degrees upward in order to cut off any visibility of Avalon City and give the illusion that The Earth ’s curvature is preventing the observer from seeing what was in full view of Avalon from The Newport Beach Foothills photo at approximately 1000 feet high.
Again, when you compare each photo to the other, side by side, it is clearly evident that approximately 100 to 150 feet have been cut off of the lower Avalon city by shifting the angle of the camera lens upwards a few degrees. The sky above the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high clearly shows this extra margin of sky above the upper hills over Avalon, when compared to Newport Beach Foothills, CA at approximately 1000 feet high photo.
One possible objection to the idea that that the photographer, in fact, changed the angle of his Avalon Bay target a few degrees upward in order to cut off any visibility of Avalon City in his The Newport Beach Foothills photo at approximately 1000 feet high is that he may have moved his position back a few hundred feet to take that photo, in comparison to the position that he took his Corona Del Mar Beach photo at 100 feet high, thereby causing a panoramic effect, which might possibly include more of the sky above the Lone Tree Point mountains range.
However, this objection does not hold any water since if this was the case, we would expect to see more of Avalon, CA from side to side, as well, but in each photo, we see the same horizontal range, and yet significantly more sky in the Corona Del Mar Beach photo at 100 feet high photo than the Newport Beach Foothills, CA at approximately 1000 feet high photo, which nullifies this objection.
Avalon, CA is at 30 feet above sea level. Mean Sea Level (MSL) (often shortened to sea level) is an average level of the surface of one or more of Earth 's bodies of water from which heights such as elevation may be measured. Even though the total oceanic mass of The Earth is one continuous body of water, its surface tends to seek the same level throughout the world, which is where the idea of sea level comes from. Nevertheless, winds, ocean currents, river discharges, geographical variations, tidal variances and temperature prevent “sea level” from being truly consistent all across the Earth . And so, Mean Sea Levels differ from coast to coast and from ocean to ocean, depending upon the aforementioned variables.
That being said, the idea of “being at sea level” plays no significant part in this experiment since the Corona Del Mar Beach photo was taken from 100 feet ABOVE sea level, and The Newport Beach Foothills photo at approximately 1000 feet ABOVE sea level. And with each position, the observer is theoretically looking DOWN, either 100 feet or 1000 feet, towards the Avalon Bay shoreline, from 31.9 miles away. And whether we factor Avalon city’s 30 feet ABOVE sea level elevation into our calculations, or Avalon Bay AT sea level, we only have a 30 feet variance as a variable.
In other words, in the Corona Del Mar to Avalon photo, we see from the peak of Lone Tree Point, with an elevation of 1611 feet, down to the lower foothill houses in Avalon city, at 118 feet. And if we go another 88 feet down, that is the 30 feet above sea level elevation of Avalon City. But using spherical geometry, we should only expect to see down to the lower foothill houses in Avalon City, at 118 feet, if The Earth was flat, which is exactly what the Corona Del Mar Beach photo shows.
And so, once again, an amateur Flat Earth debunker is caught, red handed, falsifying his data to create the illusion that The Earth is Spherical. And not only did he falsify his data, even if we ignore that, his photos still prove The Earth has no curvature since 617.71 feet of Avalon’s upper buildings to halfway up to the top of Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet, should not be visible in either photo if The Earth was actually spherical.
In other words, if The Earth was spherical, we would see about midway down from the Lone Tree Point top peak in each photo. Thus, 735.71 feet would be below the Earth ’s curvature if The Earth was actually curving, and yet each photo clearly shows the entirety of the Lone Tree Point summit down to the lower Avalon City hillside houses.
None of this should be visible if The Earth was spherical.
To further clarify, when you do a Google Maps search of the highest buildings in Avalon, CA, the come out to be 118 feet at the highest point. However, in both photos, all 617.71 missing feet of the 735.71 total feet of expected Earth curvature between Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high and Avalon, Catalina Island at 30 feet high above sea level are visible, and that is after subtracting the 118 feet of highest buildings in Avalon, CA.
And as was stated, that remaining 118 feet of Avalon Bay that the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high photo hides is the result of a neat camera trick where you simple change the angle of your camera in order to cut off the lower portion of Avalon Bay to simulate curvature. And so, all 735.71 feet are suddenly accounted for, when you cancel out the camera trick.
Even allowing for the camera angle variance deception, we should see Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet MINUS the lower foothill houses in Avalon city, at 118 feet, resulting in 1493 feet of visible Avalon, Catalina landmass if The Earth was flat, which is exactly what we see in the Corona Del Mar Beach photo taken from 100 feet above sea level.
Hence, the Earth is plainly flat.
Hence, in the end, we should only see a grand total of 735.71 feet of Avalon, CA from Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high if The Earth was spherical. (i.e. Lone Tree Point at 1611 feet MINUS 875.29 feet of visible landmass from the top of Lone Tree Point down onto the hills above Avalon City EQUALS 735.71 feet)
And even if we ignore the camera angle variance trickery between the Corona Del Mar Beach photo at 100 feet high and The Newport Beach Foothills photo at 1000 at approximately 1000 feet high, we are still seeing 1493 feet of visible Avalon, Catalina landmass, which is exactly what we see in the Corona Del Mar Beach photo taken at 100 feet above sea level. And this is the expected visibility if The Earth is flat.
Finally, without the deceptive camera angle photos from Astro Landscapes, what we literally see of Avalon, CA from Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high, from 31.9 miles away, is a whopping 1611 feet of landmass, all the way from the bottom of Avalon Bay at sea level to the top of Lone Tree Point, Avalon, Catalina. And in fact, this is exactly what the Astro Landscapes photographer’s photos show, and in particular, when you correct the deceptive camera angle change stunt he pulled in the Corona Del Mar Beach photo at 100 feet high.
The farther away you are from your observational target, the more Earth curvature is hidden from view, if The Earth were, indeed, spherical. At 31.6 miles away, 617.71 feet of Avalon City’s upper buildings to halfway up to the top of Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet, should not be visible in the Newport Beach photo if The Earth was actually a sphere with a circumference of 24,901 miles.
And yet, a massive 1439 feet are clearly visible of the total 1611 feet Catalina landmass in the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high. In other words, Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet MINUS the lower foothill houses in Avalon city, at 118 feet, resulting in 1493 feet of visible Avalon, Catalina landmass, which is exactly what we see in the Corona Del Mar Beach photo taken from 100 feet above sea level.
And the only reason all 1611 feet are not visible is because the photographer tilted the camera angle up a few degrees to conceal the 118 feet of Avalon City that we remains hidden in the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 above sea level. It’s a deceptive photo. Look at each photo. The margin of sky above Lone Tree Point is a different width when you compare the two photos, showing that the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet above sea level was taken with the camera tilted upwards to cut off the 118 feet of Avalon City below in order to create the ILLUSION of curvature.
It is the oldest camera trick in the book.
The Earth is Flat as proven by a comparison between the two photos taken of the Avalon, Catalina Island landmass from:
1) The Corona Del Mar Beach photo taken from 100 feet above sea level
2) The Newport Beach Foothills taken from 1000 feet above sea level.
And so, it is a sad situation, indeed, that this photographer, “Astro Landscapes”, either though intentional maliciousness or just incompetence, proclaims to have debunked The Enclosed Cosmological view by providing nebulous, misleading, inaccurate, deceptive, and inaccurate data and calculations, in addition to misleading photos.
The results are undeniable, scalable, measurable, and available for anyone to test, repeat, and prove at any time. The Earth is Flat. The more you study this, the more data you uncover in support of this fact.
At Least SIX Variables Contribute to the Absence of Avalon City in the Corona Del Mar Beach to Avalon Catalina Photo (At Allegedly 100 Feet Above Sea Level)
1) Untrustworthy Experimental Data
All the variable in this photo example cannot be truly verified:
1) Newport Beach Foothills to Avalon Catalina from 1000 feet at 32 miles??? Unverifiable
2) Corona Del Mar Beach to Avalon Catalina from 100 feet at 34 miles??? Unverifiable
3) And since the photographer has already misrepresented, and/or intentionally lied about the camera angle in the Corona Beach photo at 100 feet above sea level, all the experimental variables are highly suspect.
2) Camera Angle
From Google Maps shows:
- The highest houses in the foothills of Avalon City are at 118 feet.
- The upside down “T” to the lower right in both photos is at 118 feet. We see this upside down “T” in both photos, and it is the “target” point of reference which constitutes the lowest visible point of Avalon City from the position of Corona Del Mar Beach, CA, at approximately 100 feet high.
And the only reason all 1611 feet are not visible is because the photographer tilted the camera angle up a few degrees to conceal the 118 feet of Avalon City that remains hidden in the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 above sea level. It’s a deceptive photo. Look at each photo. The margin of sky above Lone Tree Point is a different width when you compare the two photos, showing that the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet above sea level was taken with the camera tilted upwards to cut off the 118 feet of Avalon City below in order to create the ILLUSION of curvature.
3) Observer Height and Angular Compression
Angular size is defined as:
tan ϑ = h/d, where ϑ is the angular size seen by the observer, h is the height of the observed object, d is the distance to the observer. h and d should have the same units (inches, meters, etc.)
Angular Compression as the change of angular size with respect to the distance. So Angular Compression would be the derivative of the angular size of an observed object, with respect to the distance that that object is from the observer.
It has to do with how our brains judge linear dimensions...strictly by the ANGLE that our eyes measure between two points. Anything that fills a smaller angle is perceived as being a shorter distance. Distant people and airplanes subtend smaller angles and appear to be smaller than nearby ones, although we learn to compensate for that.
The lower the observation point, the more objects in the distant horizon are compressed, which in effect, literally hides distant objects behind the horizon line. Increase your altitude and the horizon line rises to meet your eyes as you ascend, and then you can see farther.
Parallel Liners and Perspective
- The Horizon acts like the parallel lines of a railroad track, except from above and below you. Parallel lines do appear to meet in the distance. That's the whole basis of the perspective effect in drawing.
- Stand on a railroad track, between the rails, and look at the track-bed in the distance. The two rails appear to draw together as they get farther from you.
- It is the same if you stand in the middle of a straight road . . . it appears to get narrower. The Horizon compresses in the distance. It’s an illusion of perspective. Things compress and disappear in the distance. No Earth curvature is necessary to achieve this effect
- During a meteor shower, the individual meteors are parallel to each other, but to us, they appear to radiate from a single point in the sky. This is another example of the optical illusion that distance plays on the eye.
- It has to do with how our brains judge linear dimensions...strictly by the ANGLE that our eyes measure between two points. Anything that fills a smaller angle is perceived as being a shorter distance. Distant people and airplanes subtend smaller angles and appear to be smaller than nearby ones, although we learn to compensate for that.
- The angle that parallel lines subtend at our eyes becomes smaller as they get farther away, which our brains interpret as a shorter linear distance between them. Turn it around, and when you draw a picture of parallel lines, you can make them appear to recede in the distance by drawing them sloped toward each other.
The farther away you are from your observational target, the more Earth curvature is hidden from view, if The Earth were, indeed, spherical. At 31.6 miles away, 617.71 feet of Avalon City’s upper buildings to halfway up to the top of Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet, should not be visible in the Newport Beach photo if The Earth was actually a sphere with a circumference of 24,901 miles.
And yet, a massive 1439 feet are clearly visible of the total 1611 feet Catalina landmass in the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet high. In other words, Lone Tree Point, with a peak elevation of 1611 feet MINUS the lower foothill houses in Avalon city, at 118 feet, resulting in 1493 feet of visible Avalon, Catalina landmass, which is exactly what we see in the Corona Del Mar Beach photo taken from 100 feet above sea level.
And the only reason all 1611 feet are not visible is because the photographer tilted the camera angle up a few degrees to conceal the 118 feet of Avalon City that remains hidden in the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 above sea level. It’s a deceptive photo. Look at each photo. The margin of sky above Lone Tree Point is a different width when you compare the two photos, showing that the Corona Del Mar Beach at 100 feet above sea level was taken with the camera tilted upwards to cut off the 118 feet of Avalon City below in order to create the ILLUSION of curvature.
5) Highly Suspicious Issues With The Sailboat
- The sailboat could have been photoshopped in since it is not in the Newport Beach photo at all. It is only in the Corona Beach photo.
- The sailboat could have been photoshopped in since it sits on top of a band of blackness, which looks nothing like the ocean at all. If you look at the Newport Beach photo, you see a blue ocean below Avalon. But in The Corona Beach photo, there is no ocean at all…just a black band of nothing with a sailboat sitting on it, suddenly. It looks like poorly executed photoshop trickery.
- Also, the sailboat is obvious in the FOREGROUND of the Corona Beach photo, and nowhere near Avalon Beach, which, when combined with the upward camera angle, would place the sailboat IN FRONT of the distance horizon compression line. This being the case, we would expect to see Avalon compressed down to nothing in the distance, as railroad tracks do, while the sailboat is in clear view because it is sits in the FOREGROUND, extremely near the observer’s 100 foot Corona Beach observation point.
6) No Report of Refraction
The author of the Catalina photos does not report tilting the camera at an angle to compensate for refraction. Refraction is not a variable in this problem.

Long Range Infrared Photography
Eric Kittendorff’s Long Range Infrared Video From Malibu California to San Jacinto Mountain 123 Miles
Apparatus:
- 1000 Nm (Nano Meter) Infrared Telescopic Camera
Infrared Photography
In infrared photography, the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 1000 nm. Film is usually sensitive to visible light too, so an infrared-passing filter is used; this lets infrared (IR) light pass through to the camera, but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum (the filter thus looks black or deep red). (“Infrared filter” may refer either to this type of filter or to one that blocks infrared but passes other wavelengths.)
Data: (Refer To Google Maps Screenshots For Proof)
1) The Chino Hills is 1,600 feet in altitude at 61 miles away from the Malibu observation point
2) San Jacinto Mountain is approx. 10,800 feet in altitude at 123 miles away from the Malibu Bluffs observation point
3) Santa Monica, CA is 13 miles from Malibu observation point
4) Malibu Bluffs, Los Angeles County CA infrared camera elevation is approx. 92 Feet
Expected Visibility of San Jacinto Mountain from 123 miles away in Malibu:
1) 123 miles X 123 miles X 8 inches = 121,032 inches
2) 121,032 inches DIVIDED BY 12 inches = 10,086 feet
3) There is 10,086 feet of expected Earth curvature from 123 miles away between Malibu and San Jacinto Mountain
4) San Jacinto Mountain at 10,800 feet in altitude MINUS 10,086 feet of expected Earth curvature from 123 miles away EQUALS 714 feet difference.
Expected Visibility of Santa Monic Beach from 13 miles away in Malibu:
1) 13 miles X 13 miles X 8 inches = 1,352 inches
2) 1,352 inches DIVIDED BY 12 inches = 112.67 feet
3) There is 112.67 feet of expected Earth curvature from 13 miles away between Malibu and Santa Monica Beach
4) 112.67 feet of expected Earth curvature from 13 miles away Minus Malibu Bluffs, Los Angeles County, CA infrared camera elevation of 92 feet EQUALS 20.67 feet
Conclusion
All 10,086 feet of San Jacinto Mountain is showing from Malibu Bluffs at 92 feet above sea level, from 123 miles away, when we should only see: 714 feet of San Jacinto PLUS 92 feet of observer camera height, equaling 806 feet of expected height of visibility of San Jacinto Mountain from Malibu Bluffs.
Using Parabolic Trigonometry and Spherical Geometry, which can be verified by Professional Land Surveying AutoCAD Software, with its computational calculator) from 123 miles away, there should be 10, 086 feet of expected Earth curvature beneath the infrared camera’s observational position atop Malibu Bluffs if The Earth was actually curved. However, all of San Jacinto Mountain, at approx. 10,800 feet in altitude, is clearly in plain view at 123 miles away from the Malibu Bluffs observational position.
In fact, all of San Jacinto Mountain, at approx. 10,800 feet in altitude, is showing all the way down to the sandy beaches of the Santa Monica shoreline at sea level, which proves there is zero curvature to The Earth .
People on Santa Monia Beach Clearly Visible at 3:00 Minutes:
Advance the infrared video to 3:00 min. and you can actually see people walking on the sandy beaches of Santa Monica Beach. These walking people, as well as the sandy beaches of Santa Monica Beach, should be 20.67 feet below visibility from 13 miles away at The Malibu Bluffs observation point if The Earth was curved. But these people are clearly visible walking around on the sandy beaches of Santa Monica Beach. (i.e. 112.67 feet MINUS Malibu Bluffs infrared camera elevation of 92 feet EQUALS 20.67 feet).

34 Miles From Malibu Beach At Sea Level To Torrance Beach, CA Sea Level
Not only can you clearly see the white sandy beaches of Torrance Beach, CA from Malibu Beach at sea level from 34 miles away, but you can also see the cliffs that lead down to these white sandy beaches.
Notice the stunning clarity of the hotel. And it should not be visible at all from 34 miles away if the Earth was curved.
Notice how the hotel is literally ABOVE eye level in the photo, which means the observer is literally at sea level on the Malibu Beach. Otherwise, the hotel and beach would be BELOW line of sight or below it.
It is literally a beach-to-beach at sea level shot.

54 Mile Infrared Camera Shot from Malibu Beach Bluffs at 92 feet Elevation to Catalina Island at Sea Level
Apparatus:
- Sony 4k Camcorder Model HDR AX53 In Night Shot Mode With An IR 950nm Infrared Filter
Data:
1) The Observer’s Infrared camera height at Malibu Beach Bluffs: When consulting Google Maps to see how high Malibu Bluffs is, you get 92 feet. This data was attained from several other videos by this photographer, where he films his camera position and it is literally stationed on Malibu Bluffs, Malibu, CA. Anyone can go to any number of his videos at JTolan Media1 to verify this data.
2) Infrared video shot at 54 miles away, from the Malibu Bluffs to the North West Tip of Catalina Island.
Expected Earth Curvature at 54 Miles:
54 miles X 54 miles X 8 inches=23, 328 inches Divided by 12 to get feet=1,944 feet of expected hidden landmass if The Earth was curved. However, we see the ferry moving at sea level at Catalina Island, which means there is zero Earth curvature at sea level from 54 miles away.
1) 1,944 MINUS 92 feet observer height EQUALS 1,852 feet.
2) Therefore, 1,852 feet of expected Earth curvature should be hidden from sight at 54 miles away, given 92 feet high observer elevation
3) Highest Elevation on Catalina Island’s Northwest Tip (This is the “Tip” stated in video): Silver Peak Northwest End Catalina Island at 1,804 feet in elevation.
4) 1,852 feet of expected Earth curvature MINUS the highest elevation in the video, which is Silver Peak on the Northwest End of Catalina Island at 1,804 feet in elevation EQUALS 48 feet.
5) Hence, given the view of the Catalina ferry at sea level, just off the coast of Catalina Island, and realizing ferry’s do not go way out to sea to simply shuttle tourists from one part of the island to another, we literally see all 1,804 feet from the summit of the Silver Peak North West tip of Catalina Island down to the North West tip of Catalina Island at sea level from Malibu Beach Bluffs at 54 miles away, with the given 92 feet observer height. All of this Catalina landmass PLUS 48 additional feet should be hidden from view if The Earth was spherical.
6) Ultimately, you can play with the ferry boat distance, atmospheric conditions, refractory indexes, and mirages all you want. It is all inconsequential when you expect absolutely ALL of The North West Tip of Catalina, which is the filmed landmass in the video, to be hidden by The Earth ’s curvature when viewed from 54 miles away, given a 92 feet elevation, and yet it is all there as clear as day from top to bottom sea level.
Ferry Boat Distance:
To assume the ferry is close to the Malibu observer, and therefore, easier to see, would be to assert that a ferry boat is 20 to 30 miles out at sea. This is absurd. These ferry boats travel close to the Catalina Island Coast to ferry people around that hot vacation spot called Catalina Island. They are not far out at sea.
Atmospheric Conditions:
Also, this is a time lapse video so you can literally see the movement of the ferry boat in front of the Catalina Coastline. This would not be visible using a non-infrared camera. Non-infrared cameras cannot cut through atmospheric conditions this well even on a clear day at 54 miles away.
Conclusion:
The video from Malibu Beach, showing the ferry boat moving at approx. 54 miles away at The Catalina Island Coastline, proves the infrared filter is capturing sea level at Catalina Island. Boats travel at sea level, period. 1,852 feet of Earth should be hidden from sight at 54 miles away, given a 92 foot high observer elevation, but it is not. Hence, zero Earth curvature is detected from 54 miles away.

Comment on video:
ordinaryJeff: 2 years ago
From what I could match up between your footage and on GE with a section of the island 45 miles away, about 400 feet of the bottom is hidden below the waterline. The calculator I used showed 600 feet hidden for a 150 foot vantage point. Cooler denser air above the water will bend the light of the lower portions of the island downward, hence making the (approx.) 200 feet visible. Not enough info on the boat is provided.
Gregory Lessing Garrett: 1 second ago
Interesting, from what I could match up between footage on Google Earth with a section of the island 54 miles away, (Where is this "45 miles away" variable coming from? That is not a variable in the experiment???)...At any rate, none of the bottom of Catalina is hidden below the waterline. You must use a different Google Earth than the rest of us? And further, the ferry is at the Catalina Coast at sea level, unless someone is trying make the claim that ferry boats on the water are not at sea level? That would be quite a stretch. If you are seeing the ferry, which you are in the video, you are seeing sea level at Catalina Island. In other words, you are seeing from Malibu Beach sea level to Catalina Coast at sea level...a straight shot. No curvature in The Earth there at all.
The claims of cooler denser air above the water bending the light of the lower portions of the island downward, hence making the (approx.) 200 feet visible, are based on what data? There is no data on the temperature of the lower portion of the Island. This is all assumption. Additionally. Infrared technology largely cuts through atmospheric refraction, and that is its appeal for measuring over water. The claim of a 200 foot refractory mirages simply does not apply to this infrared video.
Atmospheric Refraction
Atmospheric Refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. This refraction is due to the velocity of light through air decreasing (the refractive index increases) with increased density. Atmospheric refraction near the ground produces mirages. Such refraction can also raise or lower, or stretch or shorten, the images of distant objects without involving mirages. Turbulent air can make distant objects appear to twinkle or shimmer. The term also applies to the refraction of sound. Atmospheric refraction is considered in measuring the position of both celestial and terrestrial objects.
Infrared Photography
In infrared photography, the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 1000 nm. Film is usually sensitive to visible light too, so an infrared-passing filter is used; this lets infrared (IR) light pass through to the camera, but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum (the filter thus looks black or deep red). (“Infrared filter” may refer either to this type of filter or to one that blocks infrared but passes other wavelengths.)
You Tube’s Jtolan Media’s 1000 Mile Visibility Across Lake Huron from 30,500 Feet
Abstract:
In an epic flight across The Great Lakes with an high resolution infrared camera, at 30,500 feet of flight elevation, we can see 1000+ miles across the lake and land all the way to Hudson Bay. From this elevation, we are seeing approx. 120.486 miles of Earth that should be hidden below the Earth ’s curvature if The Earth was actually a sphere.
Infrared does not lie, nor does it play refraction tricks.
The Earth is Flat, as is proven here.
Apparatus:
- Infrared camera with 950 nanometer filter
Data:
- Observer flying at 30,500 feet
Expected Earth curvature from 1000 miles away using Parabolic Trigonometry and Spherical Geometry equation used by scientists: ( Miles X Miles X 8 inches)
1) 1000 miles X 1000 miles away X 8 inches = 8,000,000 inches of expected Earth curvature.
2) 8,000,000 inches DIVIDED by 12 to convert to feet=666,666.666 feet of expected Earth curvature
3) However, since the observer is 30,500 feet high, we need to subtract that from the expected Earth curvature of 666,666.666 feet at 1000 miles away, which came out to be 666,666.666 feet, and that calculation comes out to be 636,166.666 feet.
4) Now, divided by 5280 feet to get mile, we get 120.486 miles of expected Earth curvature from 1000 miles away at 30,500 feet of elevation.
5) And so, at 30,500 feet of elevation we are seeing 120.486 miles of Earth that should be hidden below the Earth ’s curvature if The Earth was actually a sphere.
Notes:
Often people know very little about photographic principles, and natural atmospheric conditions, like to say ask, “Why can’t I see from LA to New York is the Earth is Flat.” Even when newscasters say, “The expected visibility when driving today is 25 feet due to atmospheric conditions”, these same people are requesting to see over 2000 miles through this same atmosphere from coast to coast.
The absurdity here is incredible.
And yet, using state-of-the-art infrared camera technology, we can cut through much of that atmospheric density. Naturally, you still cannot see forever at sea level due to the natural angular compression at the horizon, but the higher you are in altitude, the farther you can see, of course.
As this scientific infrared camera data shows…The Earth is Flat.

The Elite Mock Us Constantly: Elon and The Mars Project
The South African-born billionaire businessman and engineer Elon Musk is one of the world’s leading innovators in fake space travel. His fake space company, SpaceX, claims to be building spacecrafts that will bring the first humans to Mars. The name “Elon” is associated with the colonization of Mars.
But this isn’t the first time “Elon” and “Mars” have been linked.
Far from it.
Wernher von Braun was a German aerospace engineer responsible for the development of one of Nazi Germany’s most advanced weapons, the V-2 rocket. Nicknamed “the vengeance weapon,” the V-2 was the first long-range guided ballistic missile in the world.
His writings on the construction of a space station inspired the design concepts of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Von Braun’s work, The Mars Project, published in 1952, was somewhat megalomaniacal but also strangely prophetic. The book proposed a manned mission to Mars that would result in the planet’s colonization and the establishment of an autonomous government there.
The mission would include a fleet of 10 massive spacecraft which would transport 70 astronauts and nine crew vehicles. Braun made detailed calculations of all the aeronautical and engineering parameters of the mission but, although his grandiose plan attracted the attention of some wealthy people interested in space exploration (including Walt Disney), it remained purely theoretical due to technological limitations of the 1950s.
The prophetic part of von Braun’s work concerns the autonomous government of Mars. Namely, he proposed that, instead of presidents, rulers of the colony would be appointed the title of “Elon”: “The Martian government was directed by ten men, the leader of whom was elected by universal suffrage for five years and entitled “Elon.” Two houses of Parliament enacted the laws to be administered by the Elon and his cabinet. The Upper House was called the Council of the Elders and was limited to a membership of 60 persons, each being appointed for life by the Elon as vacancies occurred by death.”
In the 1950s, the proposed title of “Elon” had no particular significance. It was likely derived from the Hebrew name “Elon” which means “oak tree” and signifies great knowledge and wisdom.
Now, with the news of Elon Musk’s plans, perhaps it’s no coincidence in seeing the name Elon arise again in relationship to colonizing Mars.

Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars
An Introduction Programming Manual

TW-SW7905.1
The following document is taken from two sources. The first, was acquired on a website (of which I can't remember the address) listing as its source the book titled Behold A Pale Horse by William Cooper; Light Technology Publishing, 1991. The second source is a crudely copied booklet which does not contain a copyright notice, or a publishers name. With the exception of the Forward, the Preface, the main thing that was missing from the first source was the illustrations. As we began comparing the two, we realized that the illustrations, and the accompanying text (also missing from the first) made up a significant part of the document. This has now been restored by The Lawful Path, and so far as I know, is the only internet copy available complete with the illustrations.
We have no first-hand knowledge that this document is genuine, however many of the concepts contained herein are certainly reasonable, important, and bear strong consideration.\
If anyone has additional knowledge about the source of this document; has better copies of the illustrations than the ones posted here; has any missing pieces to this document, or has any comments which can improve upon the quality of this document, we will appreciate your comments.
Foreword
This manuscript was delivered to our offices by an unknown person. We did not steal the document, nor are we involved with any theft from the United States Government, and we did not get the document by way of any dishonest methods. We feel that we are not endangering the "National Security" by reproducing this document, quite the contrary; it has been authenticated and we feel that we are not only within our rights to publish it, but morally bound to do so.
Regarding the training manual, you may have detected that we had to block out the marginal notes made by the selectee at the C.I.A. Training Center, but I can assure you that the manual is authentic, and was printed for the purpose of introducing the selectee to the conspiracy. It has been authenticated by four different technical writers for Military Intelligence, one just recently retired who wants very much to have this manual distributed throughout the world, and one who is still employed as an Electronics Engineer by the Federal Government, and has access to the entire series of Training Manuals. One was stationed in Hawaii, and held the highest security clearance in the Naval Intelligence, and another who is now teaching at a university, and has been working with the Central Intelligence Agency for a number of years, and wants out before the axe falls on the conspirators.
We believed that the entire world should know about this plan, so we distributed internationally one-hundred of these manuscripts, to ask individuals at top level positions their opinions. The consensus opinion was to distribute this to as many people as who wanted it, to the end that they would not only understand that "War" had been declared against them, but would be able to properly identify the true enemy to Humanity.

Conspiracy theories are nothing new to history. Plots to "kill Caesar" and overthrow Rome abounded, for instance. however, it is seldom that concrete clues to such plots come to light, and are generally known.
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, An Introduction Programming Manual was uncovered quite by accident on July 7, 1986 when an employee of Boeing Aircraft Co. purchased a surplus IBM copier for scrap parts at a sale, and discovered inside details of a plan, hatched in the embryonic days of the "Cold War" which called for control of the masses through manipulation of industry, peoples' pastimes, education and political leanings. It called for a quiet revolution, putting brother against brother, and diverting the public's attention from what is really going on.

Top Secret: Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars
Operations Research Technical Manual TM-SW7905.1
Welcome Aboard
This publication marks the 25th anniversary of the Third World War, called the "Quiet War", being conducted using subjective biological warfare, fought with "silent weapons."
This book contains an introductory description of this war, its strategies, and its weaponry.
May 1979 #74-1120
Security
It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent weapons) on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social control and destruction of human life, i.e., slavery and genocide.
This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a technically formal declaration of domestic war. Furthermore, whenever any person or group of persons in a position of great power and without full knowledge and consent of the public, uses such knowledge and methodologies for economic conquest - it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person or group of persons and the public.
The solution of today's problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly candid, with no agonizing over religious, moral or cultural values.
You have qualified for this project because of your ability to look at human society with cold objectivity, and yet analyze and discuss your observations and conclusions with others of similar intellectual capacity without the loss of discretion or humility. Such virtues are exercised in your own best interest. Do not deviate from them.
Historical Introduction
Silent weapon technology has evolved from Operations Research (O.R.), a strategic and tactical methodology developed under the Military Management in England during World War II. The original purpose of Operations Research was to study the strategic and tactical problems of air and land defense with the objective of effective use of limited military resources against foreign enemies (i.e., logistics).
It was soon recognized by those in positions of power that the same methods might be useful for totally controlling a society. But better tools were necessary.
Social engineering (the analysis and automation of a society) requires the correlation of great amounts of constantly changing economic information (data), so a high-speed computerized data-processing system was necessary which could race ahead of the society and predict when society would arrive for capitulation.
Relay computers were to slow, but the electronic computer, invented in 1946 by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly, filled the bill.
The next breakthrough was the development of the simplex method of linear programming in 1947 by the mathematician George B. Dantzig.
Then in 1948, the transistor, invented by J. Bardeen, W.H. Brattain, and W. Shockley, promised great expansion of the computer field by reducing space and power requirements.
With these three inventions under their direction, those in positions of power strongly suspected that it was possible for them to control the whole world with the push of a button.
Immediately, the Rockefeller Foundation got in on the ground floor by making a four-year grant to Harvard College, funding the Harvard Economic Research Project for the study of the structure of the American Economy. One year later, in 1949, The United States Air Force joined in.
In 1952 the grant period terminated, and a high-level meeting of the Elite was held to determine the next phase of social operations research. The Harvard project had been very fruitful, as is borne out by the publication of some of its results in 1953 suggesting the feasibility of economic (social) engineering. (Studies in the Structure of the American Economy - copyright 1953 by Wassily Leontief, International Science Press Inc., White Plains, New York).
Engineered in the last half of the decade of the 1940's, the new Quiet War machine stood, so to speak, in sparkling gold-plated hardware on the showroom floor by 1954.
With the creation of the maser in 1954, the promise of unlocking unlimited sources of fusion atomic energy from the heavy hydrogen in sea water and the consequent availability of unlimited social power was a possibility only decades away.
The combination was irresistible.
The Quiet War was quietly declared by the International Elite at a meeting held in 1954.
Although the silent weapons system was nearly exposed 13 years later, the evolution of the new weapon-system has never suffered any major setbacks.
This volume marks the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Quiet War. Already this domestic war has had many victories on many fronts throughout the world.
Political Introduction
In 1954 it was well recognized by those in positions of authority that it was only a matter of time, only a few decades, before the general public would be able to grasp and upset the cradle of power, for the very elements of the new silent-weapon technology were as accessible for a public utopia as they were for providing a private utopia.
The issue of primary concern, that of dominance, revolved around the subject of the energy sciences.
Energy
Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on Earth . Natural science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science, theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems: mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.
All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?
In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-called "moral issues" were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.
Consequently, in the interest of future world order, peace, and tranquility, it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the American public with an ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social energy (wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of the self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few.
In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create, secure, and apply new weapons which, as it turned out, were a class of weapons so subtle and sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance as to earn for themselves the name "silent weapons."
In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the magnates of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods) and services, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatable.
In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low-class elements of society must be brought under total control, i.e., must be housebroken, trained, and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from a very early age, before they have an opportunity to question the propriety of the matter. In order to achieve such conformity, the lower-class family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the establishment of government-operated day-care centers for the occupationally orphaned children.
The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintain some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class.
Descriptive Introduction of the Silent Weapon
Everything that is expected from an ordinary weapon is expected from a silent weapon by its creators, but only in its own manner of functioning.
It shoots situations, instead of bullets; propelled by data processing, instead of chemical reaction (explosion); originating from bits of data, instead of grains of gunpowder; from a computer, instead of a gun; operated by a computer programmer, instead of a marksman; under the orders of a banking magnate, instead of a military general.
It makes no obvious explosive noises, causes no obvious physical or mental injuries, and does not obviously interfere with anyone's daily social life.
Yet it makes an unmistakable "noise," causes unmistakable physical and mental damage, and unmistakably interferes with the daily social life, i.e., unmistakable to a trained observer, one who knows what to look for.
The public cannot comprehend this weapon, and therefore cannot believe that they are being attacked and subdued by a weapon.
The public might instinctively feel that something is wrong, but that is because of the technical nature of the silent weapon, they cannot express their feeling in a rational way, or handle the problem with intelligence. Therefore, they do not know how to cry for help, and do not know how to associate with others to defend themselves against it.
When a silent weapon is applied gradually, the public adjusts/adapts to its presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until the pressure (psychological via economic) becomes too great and they crack up.
Therefore, the silent weapon is a type of biological warfare. It attacks the vitality, options, and mobility of the individuals of a society by knowing, understanding, manipulating, and attacking their sources of natural and social energy, and their physical, mental, and emotional strengths and weaknesses.

Today's silent weapons technology is an outgrowth of a simple idea discovered, succinctly expressed, and effectively applied by the quoted Mr. Mayer Amschel Rothschild. Mr. Rothschild discovered the missing passive component of economic theory known as economic inductance. He, of course, did not think of his discovery in these 20th-century terms, and, to be sure, mathematical analysis had to wait for the Second Industrial Revolution, the rise of the theory of mechanics and electronics, and finally, the invention of the electronic computer before it could be effectively applied in the control of the world economy.
General Energy Concepts
In the study of energy systems, there always appears three elementary concepts. These are potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipation. And corresponding to these concepts, there are three idealized, essentially pure physical counterparts called passive components.
In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of potential energy is associated with a physical property called elasticity or stiffness, and can be represented by a stretched spring.
In electronic science, potential energy is stored in a capacitor instead of a spring. This property is called capacitance instead of elasticity or stiffness.
In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of kinetic energy is associated with a physical property called inertia or mass, and can be represented by a mass or a flywheel in motion.
In electronic science, kinetic energy is stored in an inductor (in a magnetic field) instead of a mass. This property is called inductance instead of inertia.
In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of energy dissipation is associated with a physical property called friction or resistance, and can be represented by a dashpot or other device which converts energy into heat.
In electronic science, dissipation of energy is performed by an element called either a resistor or a conductor, the term "resistor" being the one generally used to describe a more ideal device (e.g., wire) employed to convey electronic energy efficiently from one location to another. The property of a resistance or conductor is measured as either resistance or conductance reciprocals.
In economics these three energy concepts are associated with:
- Economic Capacitance - Capital (money, stock/inventory, investments in buildings and durables, etc.)
- Economic Conductance - Goods (production flow coefficients)
- Economic Inductance - Services (the influence of the population of industry on output)
All of the mathematical theory developed in the study of one energy system (e.g., mechanics, electronics, etc.) can be immediately applied in the study of any other energy system (e.g., economics).
Mr. Rothchild's Energy Discovery
What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power, influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is "when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you."
Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts had the required appearance of power that could be used to induce people (inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic field) into surrendering their real wealth in exchange for a promise of greater wealth (instead of real compensation). They would put up real collateral in exchange for a loan of promissory notes. Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he had backing for, so long as he had someone's stock of gold as a persuader to show his customers.
Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individual and to governments. These would create overconfidence. Then he would make money scarce, tighten control of the system, and collect the collateral through the obligation of contracts. The cycle was then repeated. These pressures could be used to ignite a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine who would win the war. That government which agreed to give him control of its economic system got his support.
Collection of debts was guaranteed by economic aid to the enemy of the debtor. The profit derived from this economic methodology mad Mr. Rothschild all the more able to expand his wealth. He found that the public greed would allow currency to be printed by government order beyond the limits (inflation) of backing in precious metal or the production of goods and services.
Apparent Capital as "Paper" Inductor
In this structure, credit, presented as a pure element called "currency," has the appearance of capital, but is in effect negative capital. Hence, it has the appearance of service, but is in fact, indebtedness or debt. It is therefore an economic inductance instead of an economic capacitance, and if balanced in no other way, will be balanced by the negation of population (war, genocide). The total goods and services represent real capital called the gross national product, and currency may be printed up to this level and still represent economic capacitance; but currency printed beyond this level is subtractive, represents the introduction of economic inductance, and constitutes notes of indebtedness.
War is therefore the balancing of the system by killing the true creditors (the public which we have taught to exchange true value for inflated currency) and falling back on whatever is left of the resources of nature and regeneration of those resources.
Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency gave him the power to rearrange the economic structure to his own advantage, to shift economic inductance to those economic positions which would encourage the greatest economic instability and oscillation.
The final key to economic control had to wait until there was sufficient data and high-speed computing equipment to keep close watch on the economic oscillations created by price shocking and excess paper energy credits - paper inductance/inflation.
Breakthrough
The aviation field provided the greatest evolution in economic engineering by way of the mathematical theory of shock testing. In this process, a projectile is fired from an airframe on the ground and the impulse of the recoil is monitored by vibration transducers connected to the airframe and wired to chart recorders.
By studying the echoes or reflections of the recoil impulse in the airframe, it is possible to discover critical vibrations in the structure of the airframe which either vibrations of the engine or aeolian vibrations of the wings, or a combination of the two, might reinforce resulting in a resonant self-destruction of the airframe in flight as an aircraft. From the standpoint of engineering, this means that the strengths and weaknesses of the structure of the airframe in terms of vibrational energy can be discovered and manipulated.
Application in Economics
To use this method of airframe shock testing in economic engineering, the prices of commodities are shocked, and the public consumer reaction is monitored. The resulting echoes of the economic shock are interpreted theoretically by computers and the psycho-economic structure of the economy is thus discovered. It is by this process that partial differential and difference matrices are discovered that define the family household and make possible its evaluation as an economic industry (dissipative consumer structure).
Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted and manipulated, and society becomes a well-regulated animal with its reins under the control of a sophisticated computer-regulated social energy bookkeeping system.
Eventually every individual element of the structure comes under computer control through a knowledge of personal preferences, such knowledge guaranteed by computer association of consumer preferences (universal product code, UPC; zebra-striped pricing codes on packages) with identified consumers (identified via association with the use of a credit card and later a permanent "tattooed" body number invisible under normal ambient illumination).
Summary
Economics is only a social extension of a natural energy system. It, also, has its three passive components. Because of the distribution of wealth and the lack of communication and lack of data, this field has been the last energy field for which a knowledge of these three passive components has been developed.
Since energy is the key to all activity on the face of the Earth , it follows that in order to attain a monopoly of energy, raw materials, goods, and services and to establish a world system of slave labor, it is necessary to have a first strike capability in the field of economics. In order to maintain our position, it is necessary that we have absolute first knowledge of the science of control over all economic factors and the first experience at engineering the world economy.
In order to achieve such sovereignty, we must at least achieve this one end: that the public will not make either the logical or mathematical connection between economics and the other energy sciences or learn to apply such knowledge.
This is becoming increasingly difficult to control because more and more businesses are making demands upon their computer programmers to create and apply mathematical models for the management of those businesses.
It is only a matter of time before the new breed of private programmer/economists will catch on to the far reaching implications of the work begun at Harvard in 1948. The speed with which they can communicate their warning to the public will largely depend upon how effective we have been at controlling the media, subverting education, and keeping the public distracted with matters of no real importance.
The Economic Model
Economics, as a social energy science has as a first objective the description of the complex way in which any given unit of resources is used to satisfy some economic want. (Leontief Matrix). This first objective, when it is extended to get the most product from the least or limited resources, comprises that objective of general military and industrial logistics known as Operations Research. (See simplex method of linear programming.)
The Harvard Economic Research Project (1948-) was an extension of World War II Operations Research. Its purpose was to discover the science of controlling an economy: at first the American economy, and then the world economy. It was felt that with sufficient mathematical foundation and data, it would be nearly as easy to predict and control the trend of an economy as to predict and control the trajectory of a projectile. Such has proven to be the case. Moreover, the economy has been transformed into a guided missile on target.
The immediate aim of the Harvard project was to discover the economic structure, what forces change that structure, how the behavior of the structure can be predicted, and how it can be manipulated. What was needed was a well-organized knowledge of the mathematical structures and interrelationships of investment, production, distribution, and consumption.
To make a short story of it all, it was discovered that an economy obeyed the same laws as electricity and that all of the mathematical theory and practical and computer know-how developed for the electronic field could be directly applied in the study of economics. This discovery was not openly declared, and its more subtle implications were and are kept a closely guarded secret, for example that in an economic model, human life is measured in dollars, and that the electric spark generated when opening a switch connected to an active inductor is mathematically analogous to the initiation of war.
The greatest hurdle which theoretical economists faced was the accurate description of the household as an industry. This is a challenge because consumer purchases are a matter of choice which in turn is influenced by income, price, and other economic factors.
This hurdle was cleared in an indirect and statistically approximate way by an application of shock testing to determine the current characteristics, called current technical coefficients, of a household industry
Finally, because problems in theoretical electronics can be translated very easily into problems of theoretical electronics, and the solution translated back again, it follows that only a book of language translation and concept definition needed to be written for economics. The remainder could be gotten from standard works on mathematics and electronics. This makes the publication of books on advanced economics unnecessary, and greatly simplifies project security.

The Great Controversy
The Great Controversy is a book by Ellen G. White, one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and held in esteem as a prophetess or messenger of God among Seventh-day Adventist members. In it, White describes the "Great Controversy theme" between Jesus Christ and Satan, as played out over the millennia from its start in heaven, to its final end when the remnant who are faithful to God will be taken to heaven at the Second Advent of Christ, and the world is destroyed and recreated. Regarding the reason for writing the book, the author reported, "In this vision at Lovett's Grove (in 1858), most of the matter of the Great Controversy which I had seen ten years before, was repeated, and I was shown that I must write it out."
Synopsis
The book begins with a historical overview, which begins with the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, covers the Reformation and Advent movement in detail, and culminates with a lengthy description of the end times. It also outlines several key Seventh-day Adventist doctrines, including the heavenly sanctuary, the investigative judgment and the state of the dead.
Much of the first half of the book is devoted to the historical conflict between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. White writes that the Papacy propagated a corrupt form of Christianity from the time of Constantine I onwards, and during the Middle Ages was opposed only by the Waldensians and other small groups, who preserved an authentic form of Christianity. Beginning with John Wycliffe and Jan Huss and continuing with Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli, and others, the Reformation led to a partial recovery of Biblical truth. In the early 19th century William Miller began to preach that Jesus was about to return to Earth ; his movement eventually resulted in the formation of the Adventist Church.
The second half of the book is prophetic, looking to a resurgence in papal supremacy. The civil government of the United States will form a union with the Roman Catholic Church as well as with apostate Protestantism, leading to enforcement of a universal Sunday law (the mark of the beast), and a great persecution of Sabbath-keepers immediately prior to the second coming of Jesus. And these will be part of the end time remnant of believers who are faithful to God, which will be sealed and manifested just prior to the second coming of Jesus.
Introduction
Before the entrance of sin, Adam enjoyed open communion with his Maker; but since man separated himself from God by transgression, the human race has been cut off from this high privilege. By the plan of redemption, however, a way has been opened whereby the inhabitants of the Earth may still have connection with heaven. God has communicated with men by His Spirit, and divine light has been imparted to the world by revelations to His chosen servants. "Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:21.
During the first twenty-five hundred years of human history, there was no written revelation. Those who had been taught of God, communicated their knowledge to others, and it was handed down from father to son, through successive generations. The preparation of the written word began in the time of Moses. Inspired revelations were then embodied in an inspired book. This work continued during the long period of sixteen hundred years—from Moses, the historian of creation and the law, to John, the recorder of the most sublime truths of the gospel.
The Bible points to God as its author; yet it was written by human hands; and in the varied style of its different books it presents the characteristics of the several writers. The truths revealed are all "given by inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16); yet they are expressed in the words of men. The Infinite One by His Holy Spirit has shed light into the minds and hearts of His servants. He has given dreams and visions, symbols and figures; and those to whom the truth was thus revealed have themselves embodied the thought in human language.
The Ten Commandments were spoken by God Himself, and were written by His own hand. They are of divine, [vi] and not of human composition. But the Bible, with its God-given truths expressed in the language of men, presents a union of the divine and the human. Such a union existed in the nature of Christ, who was the Son of God and the Son of man. Thus it is true of the Bible, as it was of Christ, that "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." John 1:14.
Written in different ages, by men who differed widely in rank and occupation, and in mental and spiritual endowments, the books of the Bible present a wide contrast in style, as well as a diversity in the nature of the subjects unfolded. Different forms of expression are employed by different writers; often the same truth is more strikingly presented by one than by another. And as several writers present a subject under varied aspects and relations, there may appear, to the superficial, careless, or prejudiced reader, to be discrepancy or contradiction, where the thoughtful, reverent student, with clearer insight, discerns the underlying harmony.
As presented through different individuals, the truth is brought out in its varied aspects. One writer is more strongly impressed with one phase of the subject; he grasps those points that harmonize with his experience or with his power of perception and appreciation; another seizes upon a different phase; and each, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, presents what is most forcibly impressed upon his own mind—a different aspect of the truth in each, but a perfect harmony through all. And the truths thus revealed unite to form a perfect whole, adapted to meet the wants of men in all the circumstances and experiences of life.
God has been pleased to communicate His truth to the world by human agencies, and He Himself, by His Holy Spirit, qualified men and enabled them to do this work. He guided the mind in the selection of what to speak and what to write. The treasure was entrusted to Earth en vessels, yet it is, nonetheless, from Heaven. The testimony is [vii] conveyed through the imperfect expression of human language, yet it is the testimony of God; and the obedient, believing child of God beholds in it the glory of a divine power, full of grace and truth.
In His word, God has committed to men the knowledge necessary for salvation. The Holy Scriptures are to be accepted as an authoritative, infallible revelation of His will. They are the standard of character, the revealer of doctrines, and the test of experience. "Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness; that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16, 17, R.V.
Yet the fact that God has revealed His will to men through His word, has not rendered needless the continued presence and guiding of the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, the Spirit was promised by our Saviour, to open the word to His servants, to illuminate and apply its teachings. And since it was the Spirit of God that inspired the Bible, it is impossible that the teaching of the Spirit should ever be contrary to that of the word.
The Spirit was not given—nor can it ever be bestowed—to supersede the Bible; for the Scriptures explicitly state that the word of God is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested. Says the apostle John, "Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1. And Isaiah declares, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20.
Great reproach has been cast upon the work of the Holy Spirit by the errors of a class that, claiming its enlightenment, profess to have no further need of guidance from the word of God. They are governed by impressions which they regard as the voice of God in the soul. But the spirit that controls them is not the Spirit of God. This following of [viii] impressions, to the neglect of the Scriptures, can lead only to confusion, to deception and ruin. It serves only to further the designs of the evil one. Since the ministry of the Holy Spirit is of vital importance to the church of Christ, it is one of the devices of Satan, through the errors of extremists and fanatics, to cast contempt upon the work of the Spirit and cause the people of God to neglect this source of strength which our Lord Himself has provided.
In harmony with the word of God, His Spirit was to continue its work throughout the period of the gospel dispensation. During the ages while the Scriptures of both the Old and the New Testament were being given, the Holy Spirit did not cease to communicate light to individual minds, apart from the revelations to be embodied in the Sacred Canon. The Bible itself relates how, through the Holy Spirit, men received warning, reproof, counsel, and instruction, in matters in no way relating to the giving of the Scriptures. And mention is made of prophets in different ages, of whose utterances nothing is recorded. In like manner, after the close of the canon of the Scripture, the Holy Spirit was still to continue its work, to enlighten, warn, and comfort the children of God.
Jesus promised His disciples, "The Comforter which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." "When He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: . . . and He will show you things to come." John 14:26; 16:13. Scripture plainly teaches that these promises, so far from being limited to apostolic days, extend to the church of Christ in all ages. The Saviour assures His followers, "I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:20. And Paul declares that the gifts and manifestations of the Spirit were set in the church "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and [ix] of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:12, 13.
For the believers at Ephesus the apostle prayed, "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and . . . what is the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe." Ephesians 1:17-19. The ministry of the divine Spirit in enlightening the understanding and opening to the mind the deep things of God's holy word, was the blessing which Paul thus besought for the Ephesian church.
After the wonderful manifestation of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, Peter exhorted the people to repentance and baptism in the name of Christ, for the remission of their sins; and he said: "Ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Acts 2:38, 39.
In immediate connection with the scenes of the great day of God, the Lord by the prophet Joel has promised a special manifestation of His Spirit. Joel 2:28. This prophecy received a partial fulfillment in the outpouring of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost; but it will reach its full accomplishment in the manifestation of divine grace which will attend the closing work of the gospel.
The great controversy between good and evil will increase in intensity to the very close of time. In all ages the wrath of Satan has been manifested against the church of Christ; and God has bestowed His grace and Spirit upon His people to strengthen them to stand against the power of the evil one. When the apostles of Christ were to bear His gospel to the world and to record it for all future ages, they were especially endowed with the enlightenment of the Spirit. But as the [x] church approaches her final deliverance, Satan is to work with greater power. He comes down "having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." Revelation 12:12. He will work "with all power and signs and lying wonders." 2 Thessalonians 2:9. For six thousand years that mastermind that once was highest among the angels of God has been wholly bent to the work of deception and ruin. And all the depths of satanic skill and subtlety acquired, all the cruelty developed, during these struggles of the ages, will be brought to bear against God's people in the final conflict. And in this time of peril the followers of Christ are to bear to the world the warning of the Lord's second advent; and a people are to be prepared to stand before Him at His coming, "without spot, and blameless." 2 Peter 3:14. At this time the special endowment of divine grace and power is not less needful to the church than in apostolic days.
Through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, the scenes of the long-continued conflict between good and evil have been opened to the writer of these pages. From time to time I have been permitted to behold the working, in different ages, of the great controversy between Christ, the Prince of life, the Author of our salvation, and Satan, the prince of evil, the author of sin, the first transgressor of God's holy law. Satan's enmity against Christ has been manifested against His followers. The same hatred of the principles of God's law, the same policy of deception, by which error is made to appear as truth, by which human laws are substituted for the law of God, and men are led to worship the creature rather than the Creator, may be traced in all the history of the past. Satan's efforts to misrepresent the character of God, to cause men to cherish a false conception of the Creator, and thus to regard Him with fear and hate rather than with love; his endeavors to set aside the divine law, leading the people to think themselves free from its requirements; and his persecution of those who dare to resist his deceptions, have been steadfastly pursued in all ages. They may be traced [xi] in the history of patriarchs, prophets, and apostles, of martyrs and reformers.
In the great final conflict, Satan will employ the same policy, manifest the same spirit, and work for the same end as in all preceding ages. That which has been, will be, except that the coming struggle will be marked with a terrible intensity such as the world has never witnessed. Satan's deceptions will be more subtle, his assaults more determined. If it were possible, he would lead astray the elect. Mark 13:22, R.V.
As the Spirit of God has opened to my mind the great truths of His word, and the scenes of the past and the future, I have been bidden to make known to others that which has thus been revealed—to trace the history of the controversy in past ages, and especially so to present it as to shed a light on the fast-approaching struggle of the future. In pursuance of this purpose, I have endeavored to select and group together events in the history of the church in such a manner as to trace the unfolding of the great testing truths that at different periods have been given to the world, that have excited the wrath of Satan, and the enmity of a world-loving church, and that have been maintained by the witness of those who "loved not their lives unto the death."
In these records we may see a foreshadowing of the conflict before us. Regarding them in the light of God's word, and by the illumination of His Spirit, we may see unveiled the devices of the wicked one, and the dangers which they must shun who would be found "without fault" before the Lord at His coming.
The great events which have marked the progress of reform in past ages are matters of history, well known and universally acknowledged by the Protestant world; they are facts which none can gainsay. This history I have presented briefly, in accordance with the scope of the book, and the brevity which must necessarily be observed, the facts having been condensed into as little space as seemed consistent with [xii] a proper understanding of their application. In some cases where a historian has so grouped together events as to afford, in brief, a comprehensive view of the subject, or has summarized details in a convenient manner, his words have been quoted; but in some instances no specific credit has been given, since the quotations are not given for the purpose of citing that writer as authority, but because his statement affords a ready and forcible presentation of the subject. In narrating the experience and views of those carrying forward the work of reform in our own time, similar use has been made of their published works.

It is not so much the object of this book to present new truths concerning the struggles of former times, as to bring out facts and principles which have a bearing on coming events. Yet viewed as a part of the controversy between the forces of light and darkness, all these records of the past are seen to have a new significance; and through them a light is cast upon the future, illumining the pathway of those who, like the reformers of past ages, will be called, even at the peril of all Earth ly good, to witness "for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."
To unfold the scenes of the great controversy between truth and error; to reveal the wiles of Satan, and the means by which he may be successfully resisted; to present a satisfactory solution of the great problem of evil, shedding such a light upon the origin and the final disposition of sin as to make fully manifest the justice and benevolence of God in all His dealings with His creatures; and to show the holy, unchanging nature of His law, is the object of this book. That through its influence souls may be delivered from the power of darkness, and become "partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light," to the praise of Him who loved us, and gave Himself for us, is the earnest prayer of the writer. — E.G.W.
Chapter 34: Can Our Dead Speak to Us?
Just before us is "the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the Earth ." Revelation 3:10. All whose faith is not firmly established upon the word of God will be deceived and overcome. Satan "works with all deceivableness of unrighteousness" to gain control of the children of men, and his deceptions will continually increase. But he can gain his object only as men voluntarily yield to his temptations. Those who are earnestly seeking a knowledge of the truth and are striving to purify their souls through obedience, thus doing what they can to prepare for the conflict, will find, in the God of truth, a sure defense. "Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee" (verse 10), is the Savior’s promise. He would sooner send every angel out of heaven to protect His people than leave one soul that trusts in Him to be overcome by Satan.
The prophet Isaiah brings to view the fearful deception which will come upon the wicked, causing them to count themselves secure from the judgments of God: "We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves." Isaiah 28:15. In the class here described are included those who in their stubborn impenitence comfort themselves with the assurance that there is to be no punishment for the sinner; that all mankind, it matters not how corrupt, are to be exalted to heaven, to become as the angels of God. But still more emphatically [561] are those making a covenant with death and an agreement with hell, who renounce the truths which Heaven has provided as a defense for the righteous in the day of trouble, and accept the refuge of lies offered by Satan in its stead—the delusive pretensions of spiritualism.
Marvelous beyond expression is the blindness of the people of this generation. Thousands reject the word of God as unworthy of belief and with eager confidence receive the deceptions of Satan. Skeptics and scoffers denounce the bigotry of those who contend for the faith of prophets and apostles, and they divert themselves by holding up to ridicule the solemn declarations of the Scriptures concerning Christ and the plan of salvation, and the retribution to be visited upon the rejecters of the truth. They affect great pity for minds so narrow, weak, and superstitious as to acknowledge the claims of God and obey the requirements of His law. They manifest as much assurance as if, indeed, they had made a covenant with death and an agreement with hell—as if they had erected an impassable, impenetrable barrier between themselves and the vengeance of God. Nothing can arouse their fears. So fully have they yielded to the tempter, so closely are they united with him, and so thoroughly imbued with his spirit, that they have no power and no inclination to break away from his snare.

Satan has long been preparing for his final effort to deceive the world. The foundation of his work was laid by the assurance given to Eve in Eden: "Ye shall not surely die." "In the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Genesis 3:4, 5. Little by little he has prepared the way for his masterpiece of deception in the development of spiritualism. He has not yet reached the full accomplishment of his designs; but it will be reached in the last remnant of time. Says the prophet: "I saw three unclean spirits like frogs; . . . they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth [562] unto the kings of the Earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." Revelation 16:13, 14. Except those who are kept by the power of God, through faith in His word, the whole world will be swept into the ranks of this delusion. The people are fast being lulled to a fatal security, to be awakened only by the outpouring of the wrath of God.
Saith the Lord God: "Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it." Isaiah 28:17, 18.
Chapter 36: The Impending Conflict
From the very beginning of the great controversy in heaven it has been Satan's purpose to overthrow the law of God. It was to accomplish this that he entered upon his rebellion against the Creator, and though he was cast out of heaven he has continued the same warfare upon the Earth . To deceive men, and thus lead them to transgress God's law, is the object which he has steadfastly pursued. Whether this be accomplished by casting aside the law altogether, or by rejecting one of its precepts, the result will be ultimately the same. He that offends "in one point," manifests contempt for the whole law; his influence and example are on the side of transgression; he becomes "guilty of all." James 2:10.
In seeking to cast contempt upon the divine statutes, Satan has perverted the doctrines of the Bible, and errors have thus become incorporated into the faith of thousands who profess to believe the Scriptures. The last great conflict between truth and error is but the final struggle of the long-standing controversy concerning the law of God. Upon this battle we are now entering—a battle between the laws of men and the precepts of Jehovah, between the religion of the Bible and the religion of fable and tradition.
The agencies which will unite against truth and righteousness in this contest are now actively at work. God's holy word, which has been handed down to us at such a cost of [583] suffering and blood, is but little valued. The Bible is within the reach of all, but there are few who really accept it as the guide of life. Infidelity prevails to an alarming extent, not in the world merely, but in the church. Many have come to deny doctrines which are the very pillars of the Christian faith. The great facts of creation as presented by the inspired writers, the fall of man, the atonement, and the perpetuity of the law of God, are practically rejected, either wholly or in part, by a large share of the professedly Christian world. Thousands who pride themselves upon their wisdom and independence regard it as an evidence of weakness to place implicit confidence in the Bible; they think it a proof of superior talent and learning to cavil at the Scriptures and to spiritualize and explain away their most important truths. Many ministers are teaching their people, and many professors and teachers are instructing their students, that the law of God has been changed or abrogated; and those who regard its requirements as still valid, to be literally obeyed, are thought to be deserving only of ridicule or contempt.
In rejecting the truth, men reject its Author. In trampling upon the law of God, they deny the authority of the Law-giver. It is as easy to make an idol of false doctrines and theories as to fashion an idol of wood or stone. By misrepresenting the attributes of God, Satan leads men to conceive of Him in a false character. With many, a philosophical idol is enthroned in the place of Jehovah; while the living God, as He is revealed in His word, in Christ, and in the works of creation, is worshiped by but few. Thousands deify nature while they deny the God of nature. Though in a different form, idolatry exists in the Christian world today as verily as it existed among ancient Israel in the days of Elijah. The god of many professedly wise men, of philosophers, poets, politicians, journalists—the god of polished fashionable circles, of many colleges and universities, even of some theological institutions—is little better than Baal, the sun-god of Phoenicia. [584]
No error accepted by the Christian world strikes more boldly against the authority of Heaven, none is more directly opposed to the dictates of reason, none is more pernicious in its results, than the modern doctrine, so rapidly gaining ground, that God's law is no longer binding upon men. Every nation has its laws, which command respect and obedience; no government could exist without them; and can it be conceived that the Creator of the heavens and the Earth has no law to govern the beings He has made? Suppose that prominent ministers were publicly to teach that the statutes which govern their land and protect the rights of its citizens were not obligatory—that they restricted the liberties of the people, and therefore ought not to be obeyed; how long would such men be tolerated in the pulpit? But is it a graver offense to disregard the laws of states and nations than to trample upon those divine precepts which are the foundation of all government?
It would be far more consistent for nations to abolish their statutes, and permit the people to do as they please, than for the Ruler of the universe to annul His law, and leave the world without a standard to condemn the guilty or justify the obedient. Would we know the result of making void the law of God? The experiment has been tried. Terrible were the scenes enacted in France when atheism became the controlling power. It was then demonstrated to the world that to throw off the restraints which God has imposed is to accept the rule of the cruelest of tyrants. When the standard of righteousness is set aside, the way is open for the prince of evil to establish his power in the Earth .
Wherever the divine precepts are rejected, sin ceases to appear sinful or righteousness desirable. Those who refuse to submit to the government of God are wholly unfitted to govern themselves. Through their pernicious teachings the spirit of insubordination is implanted in the hearts of children and youth, who are naturally impatient of control; and a lawless, licentious state of society results. While scoffing at the credulity of those who obey the requirements of God, [585] the multitudes eagerly accept the delusions of Satan. They give the rein to lust and practice the sins which have called down judgments upon the heathen.
Those who teach the people to regard lightly the commandments of God sow disobedience to reap disobedience. Let the restraint imposed by the divine law be wholly cast aside, and human laws would soon be disregarded. Because God forbids dishonest practices, coveting, lying, and defrauding, men are ready to trample upon His statutes as a hindrance to their worldly prosperity; but the results of banishing these precepts would be such as they do not anticipate. If the law were not binding, why should any fear to transgress? Property would no longer be safe. Men would obtain their neighbor's possessions by violence, and the strongest would become richest. Life itself would not be respected. The marriage vow would no longer stand as a sacred bulwark to protect the family. He who had the power, would, if he desired, take his neighbor's wife by violence. The fifth commandment would be set aside with the fourth. Children would not shrink from taking the life of their parents if by so doing they could obtain the desire of their corrupt hearts. The civilized world would become a horde of robbers and assassins; and peace, rest, and happiness would be banished from the Earth .
Already the doctrine that men are released from obedience to God's requirements has weakened the force of moral obligation and opened the floodgates of iniquity upon the world. Lawlessness, dissipation, and corruption are sweeping in upon us like an overwhelming tide. In the family, Satan is at work. His banner waves, even in professedly Christian households. There is envy, evil surmising, hypocrisy, estrangement, emulation, strife, betrayal of sacred trusts, indulgence of lust. The whole system of religious principles and doctrines, which should form the foundation and framework of social life, seems to be a tottering mass, ready to fall to ruin. The vilest of criminals, when thrown into prison for their offenses, are often made the recipients of gifts and [586] attentions as if they had attained an enviable distinction. Great publicity is given to their character and crimes. The press publishes the revolting details of vice, thus initiating others into the practice of fraud, robbery, and murder; and Satan exults in the success of his hellish schemes. The infatuation of vice, the wanton taking of life, the terrible increase of intemperance and iniquity of every order and degree, should arouse all who fear God, to inquire what can be done to stay the tide of evil.
Courts of justice are corrupt. Rulers are actuated by desire for gain and love of sensual pleasure. Intemperance has beclouded the faculties of many so that Satan has almost complete control of them. Jurists are perverted, bribed, deluded. Drunkenness and revelry, passion, envy, dishonesty of every sort, are represented among those who administer the laws. "Justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." Isaiah 59:14.
The iniquity and spiritual darkness that prevailed under the supremacy of Rome were the inevitable result of her suppression of the Scriptures; but where is to be found the cause of the widespread infidelity, the rejection of the law of God, and the consequent corruption, under the full blaze of gospel light in an age of religious freedom? Now that Satan can no longer keep the world under his control by withholding the Scriptures, he resorts to other means to accomplish the same object. To destroy faith in the Bible serves his purpose as well as to destroy the Bible itself. By introducing the belief that God's law is not binding, he as effectually leads men to transgress as if they were wholly ignorant of its precepts. And now, as in former ages, he has worked through the church to further his designs. The religious organizations of the day have refused to listen to unpopular truths plainly brought to view in the Scriptures, and in combating them they have adopted interpretations and taken positions which have sown broadcast the seeds of skepticism. Clinging to the papal error of natural immortality and man's [587] consciousness in death, they have rejected the only defense against the delusions of spiritualism. The doctrine of eternal torment has led many to disbelieve the Bible. And as the claims of the fourth commandment are urged upon the people, it is found that the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath is enjoined; and as the only way to free themselves from a duty which they are unwilling to perform, many popular teachers declare that the law of God is no longer binding. Thus they cast away the law and the Sabbath together. As the work of Sabbath reform extends, this rejection of the divine law to avoid the claims of the fourth commandment will become well-nigh universal. The teachings of religious leaders have opened the door to infidelity, to spiritualism, and to contempt for God's holy law; and upon these leaders rests a fearful responsibility for the iniquity that exists in the Christian world.
Yet this very class put forth the claim that the fast-spreading corruption is largely attributable to the desecration of the so-called "Christian sabbath," and that the enforcement of Sunday observance would greatly improve the morals of society. This claim is especially urged in America, where the doctrine of the true Sabbath has been most widely preached. Here the temperance work, one of the most prominent and important of moral reforms, is often combined with the Sunday movement, and the advocates of the latter represent themselves as laboring to promote the highest interest of society; and those who refuse to unite with them are denounced as the enemies of temperance and reform. But the fact that a movement to establish error is connected with a work which is in itself good, is not an argument in favor of the error. We may disguise poison by mingling it with wholesome food, but we do not change its nature. On the contrary, it is rendered more dangerous, as it is more likely to be taken unawares. It is one of Satan's devices to combine with falsehood just enough truth to give it plausibility. The leaders of the Sunday movement may advocate reforms [588] which the people need, principles which are in harmony with the Bible; yet while there is with these a requirement which is contrary to God's law, His servants cannot unite with them. Nothing can justify them in setting aside the commandments of God for the precepts of men.
Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.
As spiritualism more closely imitates the nominal Christianity of the day, it has greater power to deceive and ensnare. Satan himself is converted, after the modern order of things. He will appear in the character of an angel of light. Through the agency of spiritualism, miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and many undeniable wonders will be performed. And as the spirits will profess faith in the Bible, and manifest respect for the institutions of the church, their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power.
The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement [589] for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.
Through spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin. Intemperance dethrones reason; sensual indulgence, strife, and bloodshed follow. Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war against one another, for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God.
Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the Earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.
While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce [590] tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and Earth quakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. "The Earth mourneth and fadeth away," "the haughty people . . . do languish. The Earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant." Isaiah 24:4, 5.
And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God's commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated and upon grounds equally well established: "And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim." 1 Kings 18:17, 18. As the wrath of the people shall be excited by false charges, they will pursue a course toward God's ambassadors very similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah.
The miracle-working power manifested through spiritualism [591] will exert its influence against those who choose to obey God rather than men. Communications from the spirits will declare that God has sent them to convince the rejecters of Sunday of their error, affirming that the laws of the land should be obeyed as the law of God. They will lament the great wickedness in the world and second the testimony of religious teachers that the degraded state of morals is caused by the desecration of Sunday. Great will be the indignation excited against all who refuse to accept their testimony.
Satan's policy in this final conflict with God's people is the same that he employed in the opening of the great controversy in heaven. He professed to be seeking to promote the stability of the divine government, while secretly bending every effort to secure its overthrow. And the very work which he was thus endeavoring to accomplish he charged upon the loyal angels. The same policy of deception has marked the history of the Roman Church. It has professed to act as the vicegerent of Heaven, while seeking to exalt itself above God and to change His law. Under the rule of Rome, those who suffered death for their fidelity to the gospel were denounced as evildoers; they were declared to be in league with Satan; and every possible means was employed to cover them with reproach, to cause them to appear in the eyes of the people and even to themselves as the vilest of criminals. So it will be now. While Satan seeks to destroy those who honor God's law, he will cause them to be accused as lawbreakers, as men who are dishonoring God and bringing judgments upon the world.
God never forces the will or the conscience; but Satan's constant resort—to gain control of those whom he cannot otherwise seduce—is compulsion by cruelty. Through fear or force he endeavors to rule the conscience and to secure homage to himself. To accomplish this, he works through both religious and secular authorities, moving them to the enforcement of human laws in defiance of the law of God. [592]
Those who honor the Bible Sabbath will be denounced as enemies of law and order, as breaking down the moral restraints of society, causing anarchy and corruption, and calling down the judgments of God upon the Earth . Their conscientious scruples will be pronounced obstinacy, stubbornness, and contempt of authority. They will be accused of disaffection toward the government. Ministers who deny the obligation of the divine law will present from the pulpit the duty of yielding obedience to the civil authorities as ordained of God. In legislative halls and courts of justice, commandment keepers will be misrepresented and condemned. A false coloring will be given to their words; the worst construction will be put upon their motives.
As the Protestant churches reject the clear, Scriptural arguments in defense of God's law, they will long to silence those whose faith they cannot overthrow by the Bible. Though they blind their own eyes to the fact, they are now adopting a course which will lead to the persecution of those who conscientiously refuse to do what the rest of the Christian world are doing, and acknowledge the claims of the papal sabbath.
The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. In the soon-coming conflict we shall see exemplified the prophet's words: "The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Revelation 12:17.
Chapter 38: The Final Warning
"I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the Earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:1, 2, 4.
This scripture points forward to a time when the announcement of the fall of Babylon, as made by the second angel of Revelation 14 (verse 8), is to be repeated, with the additional mention of the corruptions which have been entering the various organizations that constitute Babylon, since that message was first given, in the summer of 1844. A terrible condition of the religious world is here described. With every rejection of truth the minds of the people will become darker, their hearts more stubborn, until they are entrenched in an infidel hardihood. In defiance of the warnings which God has given, they will continue to trample upon one of the precepts of the Decalogue, until they are led to persecute those who hold it sacred. Christ is set at nought in the contempt placed upon His word and His people. As the teachings of spiritualism are accepted by the churches, the [604] restraint imposed upon the carnal heart is removed, and the profession of religion will become a cloak to conceal the basest iniquity. A belief in spiritual manifestations opens the door to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, and thus the influence of evil angels will be felt in the churches.
Of Babylon, at the time brought to view in this prophecy, it is declared: "Her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities." Revelation 18:5. She has filled up the measure of her guilt, and destruction is about to fall upon her. But God still has a people in Babylon; and before the visitation of His judgments these faithful ones must be called out, that they partake not of her sins and "receive not of her plagues." Hence the movement symbolized by the angel coming down from heaven, lightening the Earth with his glory and crying mightily with a strong voice, announcing the sins of Babylon. In connection with his message the call is heard: "Come out of her, My people." These announcements, uniting with the third angel's message, constitute the final warning to be given to the inhabitants of the Earth .
Fearful is the issue to which the world is to be brought. The powers of Earth , uniting to war against the commandments of God, will decree that "all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond" (Revelation 13:16), shall conform to the customs of the church by the observance of the false sabbath. All who refuse compliance will be visited with civil penalties, and it will finally be declared that they are deserving of death. On the other hand, the law of God enjoining the Creator's rest day demands obedience and threatens wrath against all who transgress its precepts.
With the issue thus clearly brought before him, whoever shall trample upon God's law to obey a human enactment receives the mark of the beast; he accepts the sign of allegiance to the power which he chooses to obey instead of God. The warning from heaven is: "If any man worship the beast [605] and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation." Revelation 14:9, 10.
But not one is made to suffer the wrath of God until the truth has been brought home to his mind and conscience, and has been rejected. There are many who have never had an opportunity to hear the special truths for this time. The obligation of the fourth commandment has never been set before them in its true light. He who reads every heart and tries every motive will leave none who desire a knowledge of the truth, to be deceived as to the issues of the controversy. The decree is not to be urged upon the people blindly. Everyone is to have sufficient light to make his decision intelligently.
The Sabbath will be the great test of loyalty, for it is the point of truth especially controverted. When the final test shall be brought to bear upon men, then the line of distinction will be drawn between those who serve God and those who serve Him not. While the observance of the false sabbath in compliance with the law of the state, contrary to the fourth commandment, will be an avowal of allegiance to a power that is in opposition to God, the keeping of the true Sabbath, in obedience to God's law, is an evidence of loyalty to the Creator. While one class, by accepting the sign of submission to Earth ly powers, receive the mark of the beast, the other choosing the token of allegiance to divine authority, receive the seal of God.
Heretofore those who presented the truths of the third angel's message have often been regarded as mere alarmists. Their predictions that religious intolerance would gain control in the United States, that church and state would unite to persecute those who keep the commandments of God, have been pronounced groundless and absurd. It has been confidently declared that this land could never become other than what it has been—the defender of religious freedom. But [606] as the question of enforcing Sunday observance is widely agitated, the event so long doubted and disbelieved is seen to be approaching, and the third message will produce an effect which it could not have had before.
In every generation God has sent His servants to rebuke sin, both in the world and in the church. But the people desire smooth things spoken to them, and the pure, unvarnished truth is not acceptable. Many reformers, in entering upon their work, determined to exercise great prudence in attacking the sins of the church and the nation. They hoped, by the example of a pure Christian life, to lead the people back to the doctrines of the Bible. But the Spirit of God came upon them as it came upon Elijah, moving him to rebuke the sins of a wicked king and an apostate people; they could not refrain from preaching the plain utterances of the Bible— doctrines which they had been reluctant to present. They were impelled to zealously declare the truth and the danger which threatened souls. The words which the Lord gave them they uttered, fearless of consequences, and the people were compelled to hear the warning.
Thus the message of the third angel will be proclaimed. As the time comes for it to be given with greatest power, the Lord will work through humble instruments, leading the minds of those who consecrate themselves to His service. The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of His Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority, the inroads of spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power—all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen who have never heard words like these. In amazement they [607] hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from heaven. As the people go to their former teachers with the eager inquiry, Are these things so? the ministers present fables, prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears and quiet the awakened conscience. But since many refuse to be satisfied with the mere authority of men and demand a plain "Thus saith the Lord," the popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, filled with anger as their authority is questioned, will denounce the message as of Satan and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute those who proclaim it.
As the controversy extends into new fields and the minds of the people are called to God's downtrodden law, Satan is astir. The power attending the message will only madden those who oppose it. The clergy will put forth almost superhuman efforts to shut away the light lest it should shine upon their flocks. By every means at their command they will endeavor to suppress the discussion of these vital questions. The church appeals to the strong arm of civil power, and, in this work, papists and Protestants unite. As the movement for Sunday enforcement becomes more bold and decided, the law will be invoked against commandment keepers. They will be threatened with fines and imprisonment, and some will be offered positions of influence, and other rewards and advantages, as inducements to renounce their faith. But their steadfast answer is: "Show us from the word of God our error"—the same plea that was made by Luther under similar circumstances. Those who are arraigned before the courts make a strong vindication of the truth, and some who hear them are led to take their stand to keep all the commandments of God. Thus light will be brought before thousands who otherwise would know nothing of these truths. [608]
Conscientious obedience to the word of God will be treated as rebellion. Blinded by Satan, the parent will exercise harshness and severity toward the believing child; the master or mistress will oppress the commandment-keeping servant. Affection will be alienated; children will be disinherited and driven from home. The words of Paul will be literally fulfilled: "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12. As the defenders of truth refuse to honor the Sunday-sabbath, some of them will be thrust into prison, some will be exiled, some will be treated as slaves. To human wisdom all this now seems impossible; but as the restraining Spirit of God shall be withdrawn from men, and they shall be under the control of Satan, who hates the divine precepts, there will be strange developments. The heart can be very cruel when God's fear and love are removed.
As the storm approaches, a large class who have professed faith in the third angel's message, but have not been sanctified through obedience to the truth, abandon their position and join the ranks of the opposition. By uniting with the world and partaking of its spirit, they have come to view matters in nearly the same light; and when the test is brought, they are prepared to choose the easy, popular side. Men of talent and pleasing address, who once rejoiced in the truth, employ their powers to deceive and mislead souls. They become the most bitter enemies of their former brethren. When Sabbath keepers are brought before the courts to answer for their faith, these apostates are the most efficient agents of Satan to misrepresent and accuse them, and by false reports and insinuations to stir up the rulers against them.
In this time of persecution the faith of the Lord's servants will be tried. They have faithfully given the warning, looking to God and to His word alone. God's Spirit, moving upon their hearts, has constrained them to speak. Stimulated [609] with holy zeal, and with the divine impulse strong upon them, they entered upon the performance of their duties without coldly calculating the consequences of speaking to the people the word which the Lord had given them. They have not consulted their temporal interests, nor sought to preserve their reputation or their lives. Yet when the storm of opposition and reproach bursts upon them, some, overwhelmed with consternation, will be ready to exclaim: "Had we foreseen the consequences of our words, we would have held our peace." They are hedged in with difficulties. Satan assails them with fierce temptations. The work which they have undertaken seems far beyond their ability to accomplish. They are threatened with destruction. The enthusiasm which animated them is gone; yet they cannot turn back. Then, feeling their utter helplessness, they flee to the Mighty One for strength. They remember that the words which they have spoken were not theirs, but His who bade them give the warning. God put the truth into their hearts, and they could not forbear to proclaim it.
The same trials have been experienced by men of God in ages past. Wycliffe, Huss, Luther, Tyndale, Baxter, Wesley, urged that all doctrines be brought to the test of the Bible and declared that they would renounce everything which it condemned. Against these men persecution raged with relentless fury; yet they ceased not to declare the truth. Different periods in the history of the church have each been marked by the development of some special truth, adapted to the necessities of God's people at that time. Every new truth has made its way against hatred and opposition; those who were blessed with its light were tempted and tried. The Lord gives a special truth for the people in an emergency. Who dare refuse to publish it? He commands His servants to present the last invitation of mercy to the world. They cannot remain silent, except at the peril of their souls. Christ's ambassadors [610] have nothing to do with consequences. They must perform their duty and leave results with God.
As the opposition rises to a fiercer height, the servants of God are again perplexed; for it seems to them that they have brought the crisis. But conscience and the word of God assure them that their course is right; and although the trials continue, they are strengthened to bear them. The contest grows closer and sharper, but their faith and courage rise with the emergency. Their testimony is: "We dare not tamper with God's word, dividing His holy law; calling one portion essential and another nonessential, to gain the favor of the world. The Lord whom we serve is able to deliver us. Christ has conquered the powers of Earth ; and shall we be afraid of a world already conquered?"
Persecution in its varied forms is the development of a principle which will exist as long as Satan exists, and Christianity has vital power. No man can serve God without enlisting against himself the opposition of the hosts of darkness. Evil angels will assail him, alarmed that his influence is taking the prey from their hands. Evil men, rebuked by his example, will unite with them in seeking to separate him from God by alluring temptations. When these do not succeed, then a compelling power is employed to force the conscience.
But so long as Jesus remains man's intercessor in the sanctuary above, the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit is felt by rulers and people. It still controls to some extent the laws of the land. Were it not for these laws, the condition of the world would be much worse than it now is. While many of our rulers are active agents of Satan, God also has His agents among the leading men of the nation. The enemy moves upon his servants to propose measures that would greatly impede the work of God; but statesmen who fear the Lord are influenced by holy angels to oppose such propositions with unanswerable arguments. Thus a few men will [611] hold in check a powerful current of evil. The opposition of the enemies of truth will be restrained that the third angel's message may do its work. When the final warning shall be given, it will arrest the attention of these leading men through whom the Lord is now working, and some of them will accept it, and will stand with the people of God through the time of trouble.
The angel who unites in the proclamation of the third angel's message is to lighten the whole Earth with his glory. A work of world-wide extent and unwonted power is here foretold. The advent movement of 1840-44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel's message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel.
The work will be similar to that of the Day of Pentecost. As the "former rain" was given, in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the opening of the gospel, to cause the upspringing of the precious seed, so the "latter rain" will be given at its close for the ripening of the harvest. "Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the Earth ." Hosea 6:3. "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain." Joel 2:23. "In the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh." "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Acts 2:17, 21.
The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening. The prophecies which were fulfilled in the outpouring of the [612] former rain at the opening of the gospel are again to be fulfilled in the latter rain at its close. Here are "the times of refreshing" to which the apostle Peter looked forward when he said: "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus." Acts 3:19, 20.
Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the Earth , the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works, with lying wonders, even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the Earth will be brought to take their stand.
The message will be carried not so much by argument as by the deep conviction of the Spirit of God. The arguments have been presented. The seed has been sown, and now it will spring up and bear fruit. The publications distributed by missionary workers have exerted their influence, yet many whose minds were impressed have been prevented from fully comprehending the truth or from yielding obedience. Now the rays of light penetrate everywhere, the truth is seen in its clearness, and the honest children of God sever the bands which have held them. Family connections, church relations, are powerless to stay them now. Truth is more precious than all besides. Notwithstanding the agencies combined against the truth, a large number take their stand upon the Lord's side.
Chapter 41: Desolation of the Earth
"Her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. . . . In the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the Earth , who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, . . . saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come." Revelation 18:5-10.
"The merchants of the Earth ," that have "waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies," "shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought." Revelation 18:11, 3, 15-17.
Such are the judgments that fall upon Babylon in the day of the visitation of God's wrath. She has filled up the measure of her iniquity; her time has come; she is ripe for destruction. [654]
When the voice of God turns the captivity of His people, there is a terrible awakening of those who have lost all in the great conflict of life. While probation continued they were blinded by Satan's deceptions, and they justified their course of sin. The rich prided themselves upon their superiority to those who were less favored; but they had obtained their riches by violation of the law of God. They had neglected to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to deal justly, and to love mercy. They had sought to exalt themselves and to obtain the homage of their fellow creatures. Now they are stripped of all that made them great and are left destitute and defenseless. They look with terror upon the destruction of the idols which they preferred before their Maker. They have sold their souls for Earth ly riches and enjoyments, and have not sought to become rich toward God. The result is, their lives are a failure; their pleasures are now turned to gall, their treasures to corruption. The gain of a lifetime is swept away in a moment. The rich bemoan the destruction of their grand houses, the scattering of their gold and silver. But their lamentations are silenced by the fear that they themselves are to perish with their idols.
The wicked are filled with regret, not because of their sinful neglect of God and their fellow men, but because God has conquered. They lament that the result is what it is; but they do not repent of their wickedness. They would leave no means untried to conquer if they could.
The world see the very class whom they have mocked and derided, and desired to exterminate, pass unharmed through pestilence, tempest, and Earth quake. He who is to the transgressors of His law a devouring fire, is to His people a safe pavilion.
The minister who has sacrificed truth to gain the favor of men now discerns the character and influence of his teachings. It is apparent that the omniscient eye was following him as he stood in the desk, as he walked the streets, as he mingled with men in the various scenes of life. Every [655] emotion of the soul, every line written, every word uttered, every act that led men to rest in a refuge of falsehood, has been scattering seed; and now, in the wretched, lost souls around him, he beholds the harvest.
Saith the Lord: "They have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." "With lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life." Jeremiah 8:11; Ezekiel 13:22.
"Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! . . . Behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings." "Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for your days for slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; . . . and the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape." Jeremiah 23:1, 2; 25:34, 35, margin.
Ministers and people see that they have not sustained the right relation to God. They see that they have rebelled against the Author of all just and righteous law. The setting aside of the divine precepts gave rise to thousands of springs of evil, discord, hatred, iniquity, until the Earth became one vast field of strife, one sink of corruption. This is the view that now appears to those who rejected truth and chose to cherish error. No language can express the longing which the disobedient and disloyal feel for that which they have lost forever—eternal life. Men whom the world has worshiped for their talents and eloquence now see these things in their true light. They realize what they have forfeited by transgression, and they fall at the feet of those whose fidelity they have despised and derided, and confess that God has loved them.
The people see that they have been deluded. They accuse one another of having led them to destruction; but all unite in heaping their bitterest condemnation upon the ministers. Unfaithful pastors have prophesied smooth things; they have led their hearers to make void the law of God and to [656] persecute those who would keep it holy. Now, in their despair, these teachers confess before the world their work of deception. The multitudes are filled with fury. "We are lost!" they cry, "and you are the cause of our ruin;" and they turn upon the false shepherds. The very ones that once admired them most will pronounce the most dreadful curses upon them. The very hands that once crowned them with laurels will be raised for their destruction. The swords which were to slay God's people are now employed to destroy their enemies. Everywhere there is strife and bloodshed.
"A noise shall come even to the ends of the Earth ; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, He will plead with all flesh; He will give them that are wicked to the sword." Jeremiah 25:31. For six thousand years the great controversy has been in progress; the Son of God and His heavenly messengers have been in conflict with the power of the evil one, to warn, enlighten, and save the children of men. Now all have made their decisions; the wicked have fully united with Satan in his warfare against God. The time has come for God to vindicate the authority of His downtrodden law. Now the controversy is not alone with Satan, but with men. "The Lord hath a controversy with the nations;" "He will give them that are wicked to the sword."
The mark of deliverance has been set upon those "that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done." Now the angel of death goes forth, represented in Ezekiel's vision by the men with the slaughtering weapons, to whom the command is given: "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." Says the prophet: "They began at the ancient men which were before the house." Ezekiel 9:1-6. The work of destruction begins among those who have professed to be the spiritual guardians of the people. The false watchmen are the first to fall. There are none to pity or to spare. Men, women, maidens, and little children perish together.
"The Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants [657] of the Earth for their iniquity: the Earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain." Isaiah 26:21. "And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor." Zechariah 14:12, 13. In the mad strife of their own fierce passions, and by the awful outpouring of God's unmingled wrath, fall the wicked inhabitants of the Earth —priests, rulers, and people, rich and poor, high and low. "And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the Earth even unto the other end of the Earth : they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried." Jeremiah 25:33.
At the coming of Christ the wicked are blotted from the face of the whole Earth —consumed with the spirit of His mouth and destroyed by the brightness of His glory. Christ takes His people to the City of God, and the Earth is emptied of its inhabitants. "Behold, the Lord maketh the Earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof." "The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word." "Because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the Earth , and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the Earth are burned." Isaiah 24:1, 3, 5, 6.
The whole Earth appears like a desolate wilderness. The ruins of cities and villages destroyed by the Earth quake, uprooted trees, ragged rocks thrown out by the sea or torn out of the Earth itself, are scattered over its surface, while vast caverns mark the spot where the mountains have been rent from their foundations. [658]
Now the event takes place foreshadowed in the last solemn service of the Day of Atonement. When the ministration in the holy of holies had been completed, and the sins of Israel had been removed from the sanctuary by virtue of the blood of the sin offering, then the scapegoat was presented alive before the Lord; and in the presence of the congregation the high priest confessed over him "all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat." Leviticus 16:21. In like manner, when the work of atonement in the heavenly sanctuary has been completed, then in the presence of God and heavenly angels and the hosts of the redeemed the sins of God's people will be placed upon Satan; he will be declared guilty of all the evil which he has caused them to commit. And as the scapegoat was sent away into a land not inhabited, so Satan will be banished to the desolate Earth , an uninhabited and dreary wilderness.
The revelator foretells the banishment of Satan and the condition of chaos and desolation to which the Earth is to be reduced, and he declares that this condition will exist for a thousand years. After presenting the scenes of the Lord's second coming and the destruction of the wicked, the prophecy continues: "I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." Revelation 20:1-3.
That the expression "bottomless pit" represents the Earth in a state of confusion and darkness is evident from other scriptures. Concerning the condition of the Earth "in the beginning," the Bible record says that it "was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep." [THE HEBREW WORD HERE TRANSLATED "DEEP" IS RENDERED IN THE SEPTUAGINT (GREEK) TRANSLATION OF THE HEBREW OLD TESTAMENT BY THE SAME WORD RENDERED "BOTTOMLESS PIT" IN REVELATION 20:1-3.] [659] Genesis 1:2. Prophecy teaches that it will be brought back, partially at least, to this condition. Looking forward to the great day of God, the prophet Jeremiah declares: "I beheld the Earth , and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down." Jeremiah 4:23-26.
Here is to be the home of Satan with his evil angels for a thousand years. Limited to the Earth , he will not have access to other worlds to tempt and annoy those who have never fallen. It is in this sense that he is bound: there are none remaining, upon whom he can exercise his power. He is wholly cut off from the work of deception and ruin which for so many centuries has been his sole delight.
The prophet Isaiah, looking forward to the time of Satan's overthrow, exclaims: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! . . . Thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: . . . I will be like the Most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the Earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?" Isaiah 14:12-17.
For six thousand years, Satan's work of rebellion has "made the Earth to tremble." He had "made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof." And he "opened not the house of his prisoners." For six thousand years his prison house has received God's people, and he would have held them captive forever; but Christ had broken his bonds and set the prisoners free. [660]
Even the wicked are now placed beyond the power of Satan, and alone with his evil angels he remains to realize the effect of the curse which sin has brought. "The kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own house [the grave]. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch. . . . Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people." Isaiah 14:18-20.
For a thousand years, Satan will wander to and fro in the desolate Earth to behold the results of his rebellion against the law of God. During this time, his sufferings are intense. Since his fall, his life of unceasing activity has banished reflection; but he is now deprived of his power and left to contemplate the part which he has acted since first he rebelled against the government of heaven, and to look forward with trembling and terror to the dreadful future when he must suffer for all the evil that he has done and be punished for the sins that he has caused to be committed.
To God's people the captivity of Satan will bring gladness and rejoicing. Says the prophet: "It shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve, that thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon [here representing Satan], and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! . . . Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers; that smote the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained." Verses 3-6, R.V.
During the thousand years between the first and the second resurrection the judgment of the wicked takes place. The apostle Paul points to this judgment as an event that follows the second advent. "Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of [661] the hearts." 1 Corinthians 4:5. Daniel declares that when the Ancient of Days came, "judgment was given to the saints of the Most High." Daniel 7:22. At this time the righteous reign as kings and priests unto God. John in the Revelation says: "I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them." "They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." Revelation 20:4, 6. It is at this time that, as foretold by Paul, "the saints shall judge the world." 1 Corinthians 6:2. In union with Christ they judge the wicked, comparing their acts with the statute book, the Bible, and deciding every case according to the deeds done in the body. Then the portion which the wicked must suffer is meted out, according to their works; and it is recorded against their names in the book of death.
Satan also and evil angels are judged by Christ and His people. Says Paul: "Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" Verse 3. And Jude declares that "the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." Jude 6.
At the close of the thousand years the second resurrection will take place. Then the wicked will be raised from the dead and appear before God for the execution of "the judgment written." Thus the revelator, after describing the resurrection of the righteous, says: "The rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." Revelation 20:5. And Isaiah declares, concerning the wicked: "They shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited." Isaiah 24:22.
Chapter 42: The Controversy Ended
At the close of the thousand years, Christ again returns to the Earth . He is accompanied by the host of the redeemed and attended by a retinue of angels. As He descends in terrific majesty He bids the wicked dead arise to receive their doom. They come forth, a mighty host, numberless as the sands of the sea. What a contrast to those who were raised at the first resurrection! The righteous were clothed with immortal youth and beauty. The wicked bear the traces of disease and death.
Every eye in that vast multitude is turned to behold the glory of the Son of God. With one voice the wicked hosts exclaim: "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord!" It is not love to Jesus that inspires this utterance. The force of truth urges the words from unwilling lips. As the wicked went into their graves, so they come forth with the same enmity to Christ and the same spirit of rebellion. They are to have no new probation in which to remedy the defects of their past lives. Nothing would be gained by this. A lifetime of transgression has not softened their hearts. A second probation, were it given them, would be occupied as was the first in evading the requirements of God and exciting rebellion against Him.
Christ descends upon the Mount of Olives, whence, after His resurrection, He ascended, and where angels repeated the promise of His return. Says the prophet: "The Lord my God [663] shall come, and all the saints with Thee." "And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof, . . . and there shall be a very great valley." "And the Lord shall be king over all the Earth : in that day shall there be one Lord, and His name one." Zechariah 14:5, 4, 9. As the New Jerusalem, in its dazzling splendor, comes down out of heaven, it rests upon the place purified and made ready to receive it, and Christ, with His people and the angels, enters the Holy City.
Now Satan prepares for a last mighty struggle for the supremacy. While deprived of his power and cut off from his work of deception, the prince of evil was miserable and dejected; but as the wicked dead are raised and he sees the vast multitudes upon his side, his hopes revive, and he determines not to yield the great controversy. He will marshal all the armies of the lost under his banner and through them endeavor to execute his plans. The wicked are Satan's captives. In rejecting Christ they have accepted the rule of the rebel leader. They are ready to receive his suggestions and to do his bidding. Yet, true to his early cunning, he does not acknowledge himself to be Satan. He claims to be the prince who is the rightful owner of the world and whose inheritance has been unlawfully wrested from him. He represents himself to his deluded subjects as a redeemer, assuring them that his power has brought them forth from their graves and that he is about to rescue them from the most cruel tyranny. The presence of Christ having been removed, Satan works wonders to support his claims. He makes the weak strong and inspires all with his own spirit and energy. He proposes to lead them against the camp of the saints and to take possession of the City of God. With fiendish exultation he points to the unnumbered millions who have been raised from the dead and declares that as their leader he is well able to overthrow the city and regain his throne and his kingdom. [664]
In that vast throng are multitudes of the long-lived race that existed before the Flood; men of lofty stature and giant intellect, who, yielding to the control of fallen angels, devoted all their skill and knowledge to the exaltation of themselves; men whose wonderful works of art led the world to idolize their genius, but whose cruelty and evil inventions, defiling the Earth and defacing the image of God, caused Him to blot them from the face of His creation. There are kings and generals who conquered nations, valiant men who never lost a battle, proud, ambitious warriors whose approach made kingdoms tremble. In death these experienced no change. As they come up from the grave, they resume the current of their thoughts just where it ceased. They are actuated by the same desire to conquer that ruled them when they fell.
Satan consults with his angels, and then with these kings and conquerors and mighty men. They look upon the strength and numbers on their side, and declare that the army within the city is small in comparison with theirs, and that it can be overcome. They lay their plans to take possession of the riches and glory of the New Jerusalem. All immediately begin to prepare for battle. Skillful artisans construct implements of war. Military leaders, famed for their success, marshal the throngs of warlike men into companies and divisions.
At last the order to advance is given, and the countless host moves on—an army such as was never summoned by Earth ly conquerors, such as the combined forces of all ages since war began on Earth could never equal. Satan, the mightiest of warriors, leads the van, and his angels unite their forces for this final struggle. Kings and warriors are in his train, and the multitudes follow in vast companies, each under its appointed leader. With military precision the serried ranks advance over the Earth 's broken and uneven surface to the City of God. By command of Jesus, the gates of the New Jerusalem are closed, and the armies of Satan surround the city and make ready for the onset. [665]
Now Christ again appears to the view of His enemies. Far above the city, upon a foundation of burnished gold, is a throne, high and lifted up. Upon this throne sits the Son of God, and around Him are the subjects of His kingdom. The power and majesty of Christ no language can describe, no pen portray. The glory of the Eternal Father is enshrouding His Son. The brightness of His presence fills the City of God, and flows out beyond the gates, flooding the whole Earth with its radiance.
Nearest the throne are those who were once zealous in the cause of Satan, but who, plucked as brands from the burning, have followed their Saviour with deep, intense devotion. Next are those who perfected Christian characters in the midst of falsehood and infidelity, those who honored the law of God when the Christian world declared it void, and the millions, of all ages, who were martyred for their faith. And beyond is the "great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, . . . before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands." Revelation 7:9. Their warfare is ended, their victory won. They have run the race and reached the prize. The palm branch in their hands is a symbol of their triumph, the white robe an emblem of the spotless righteousness of Christ which now is theirs.
The redeemed raise a song of praise that echoes and re-echoes through the vaults of heaven: "Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb." Verse 10. And angel and seraph unite their voices in adoration. As the redeemed have beheld the power and malignity of Satan, they have seen, as never before, that no power but that of Christ could have made them conquerors. In all that shining throng there are none to ascribe salvation to themselves, as if they had prevailed by their own power and goodness. Nothing is said of what they have done or suffered; but the burden of every song, the keynote of every anthem, is: Salvation to our God and unto the Lamb. [666]
In the presence of the assembled inhabitants of Earth and heaven the final coronation of the Son of God takes place. And now, invested with supreme majesty and power, the King of kings pronounces sentence upon the rebels against His government and executes justice upon those who have transgressed His law and oppressed His people. Says the prophet of God: "I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the Earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." Revelation 20:11, 12.
As soon as the books of record are opened, and the eye of Jesus looks upon the wicked, they are conscious of every sin which they have ever committed. They see just where their feet diverged from the path of purity and holiness, just how far pride and rebellion have carried them in the violation of the law of God. The seductive temptations which they encouraged by indulgence in sin, the blessings perverted, the messengers of God despised, the warnings rejected, the waves of mercy beaten back by the stubborn, unrepentant heart—all appear as if written in letters of fire.
Above the throne is revealed the cross; and like a panoramic view appear the scenes of Adam's temptation and fall, and the successive steps in the great plan of redemption. The Savior’s lowly birth; His early life of simplicity and obedience; His baptism in Jordan; the fast and temptation in the wilderness; His public ministry, unfolding to men heaven's most precious blessings; the days crowded with deeds of love and mercy, the nights of prayer and watching in the solitude of the mountains; the plottings of envy, hate, and malice which repaid His benefits; the awful, mysterious agony in Gethsemane beneath the crushing weight of the sins of the whole world; His betrayal into the hands of the murderous [667] mob; the fearful events of that night of horror—the unresisting prisoner, forsaken by His best-loved disciples, rudely hurried through the streets of Jerusalem; the Son of God exultingly displayed before Annas, arraigned in the high priest's palace, in the judgment hall of Pilate, before the cowardly and cruel Herod, mocked, insulted, tortured, and condemned to die—all are vividly portrayed.
And now before the swaying multitude are revealed the final scenes—the patient Sufferer treading the path to Calvary; the Prince of heaven hanging upon the cross; the haughty priests and the jeering rabble deriding His expiring agony; the supernatural darkness; the heaving Earth , the rent rocks, the open graves, marking the moment when the world's Redeemer yielded up His life.
The awful spectacle appears just as it was. Satan, his angels, and his subjects have no power to turn from the picture of their own work. Each actor recalls the part which he performed. Herod, who slew the innocent children of Bethlehem that he might destroy the King of Israel; the base Herodias, upon whose guilty soul rests the blood of John the Baptist; the weak, timeserving Pilate; the mocking soldiers; the priests and rulers and the maddened throng who cried, "His blood be on us, and on our children!"—all behold the enormity of their guilt. They vainly seek to hide from the divine majesty of His countenance, outshining the glory of the sun, while the redeemed cast their crowns at the Savior’s feet, exclaiming: "He died for me!"
Amid the ransomed throng are the apostles of Christ, the heroic Paul, the ardent Peter, the loved and loving John, and their truehearted brethren, and with them the vast host of martyrs; while outside the walls, with every vile and abominable thing, are those by whom they were persecuted, imprisoned, and slain. There is Nero, that monster of cruelty and vice, beholding the joy and exaltation of those whom he once tortured, and in whose extremest anguish he found satanic delight. His mother is there to witness the result of [668] her own work; to see how the evil stamp of character transmitted to her son, the passions encouraged and developed by her influence and example, have borne fruit in crimes that caused the world to shudder.
There are papist priests and prelates, who claimed to be Christ's ambassadors, yet employed the rack, the dungeon, and the stake to control the consciences of His people. There are the proud pontiffs who exalted themselves above God and presumed to change the law of the Most High. Those pretended fathers of the church have an account to render to God from which they would fain be excused. Too late they are made to see that the Omniscient One is jealous of His law and that He will in no wise clear the guilty. They learn now that Christ identifies His interest with that of His suffering people; and they feel the force of His own words: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me." Matthew 25:40.
The whole wicked world stand arraigned at the bar of God on the charge of high treason against the government of heaven. They have none to plead their cause; they are without excuse; and the sentence of eternal death is pronounced against them.
It is now evident to all that the wages of sin is not noble independence and eternal life, but slavery, ruin, and death. The wicked see what they have forfeited by their life of rebellion. The far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory was despised when offered them; but how desirable it now appears. "All this," cries the lost soul, "I might have had; but I chose to put these things far from me. Oh, strange infatuation! I have exchanged peace, happiness, and honor for wretchedness, infamy, and despair." All see that their exclusion from heaven is just. By their lives they have declared: "We will not have this Man [Jesus] to reign over us."
As if entranced, the wicked have looked upon the coronation of the Son of God. They see in His hands the tables of the divine law, the statutes which they have despised and [669] transgressed. They witness the outburst of wonder, rapture, and adoration from the saved; and as the wave of melody sweeps over the multitudes without the city, all with one voice exclaim, "Great and marvelous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints" (Revelation 15:3); and, falling prostrate, they worship the Prince of life.
Satan seems paralyzed as he beholds the glory and majesty of Christ. He who was once a covering cherub remembers whence he has fallen. A shining seraph, "son of the morning;" how changed, how degraded! From the council where once he was honored, he is forever excluded. He sees another now standing near to the Father, veiling His glory. He has seen the crown placed upon the head of Christ by an angel of lofty stature and majestic presence, and he knows that the exalted position of this angel might have been his.
Memory recalls the home of his innocence and purity, the peace and content that were his until he indulged in murmuring against God, and envy of Christ. His accusations, his rebellion, his deceptions to gain the sympathy and support of the angels, his stubborn persistence in making no effort for self-recovery when God would have granted him forgiveness —all come vividly before him. He reviews his work among men and its results—the enmity of man toward his fellow man, the terrible destruction of life, the rise and fall of kingdoms, the overturning of thrones, the long succession of tumults, conflicts, and revolutions. He recalls his constant efforts to oppose the work of Christ and to sink man lower and lower. He sees that his hellish plots have been powerless to destroy those who have put their trust in Jesus. As Satan looks upon his kingdom, the fruit of his toil, he sees only failure and ruin. He has led the multitudes to believe that the City of God would be an easy prey; but he knows that this is false. Again and again, in the progress of the great controversy, he has been defeated and compelled to yield. He knows too well the power and majesty of the Eternal. [670]
The aim of the great rebel has ever been to justify himself and to prove the divine government responsible for the rebellion. To this end he has bent all the power of his giant intellect. He has worked deliberately and systematically, and with marvelous success, leading vast multitudes to accept his version of the great controversy which has been so long in progress. For thousands of years this chief of conspiracy has palmed off falsehood for truth. But the time has now come when the rebellion is to be finally defeated and the history and character of Satan disclosed. In his last great effort to dethrone Christ, destroy His people, and take possession of the City of God, the archdeceiver has been fully unmasked. Those who have united with him see the total failure of his cause. Christ's followers and the loyal angels behold the full extent of his machinations against the government of God. He is the object of universal abhorrence.
Satan sees that his voluntary rebellion has unfitted him for heaven. He has trained his powers to war against God; the purity, peace, and harmony of heaven would be to him supreme torture. His accusations against the mercy and justice of God are now silenced. The reproach which he has endeavored to cast upon Jehovah rests wholly upon himself. And now Satan bows down and confesses the justice of his sentence.
"Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? for Thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before Thee; for Thy judgments are made manifest." Verse 4. Every question of truth and error in the long-standing controversy has now been made plain. The results of rebellion, the fruits of setting aside the divine statutes, have been laid open to the view of all created intelligences. The working out of Satan's rule in contrast with the government of God has been presented to the whole universe. Satan's own works have condemned him. God's wisdom, His justice, and His goodness stand fully vindicated. It is seen that all His dealings in the great controversy have been conducted [671] with respect to the eternal good of His people and the good of all the worlds that He has created. "All Thy works shall praise Thee, O Lord; and Thy saints shall bless Thee." Psalm 145:10. The history of sin will stand to all eternity as a witness that with the existence of God's law is bound up the happiness of all the beings He has created. With all the facts of the great controversy in view, the whole universe, both loyal and rebellious, with one accord declare: "Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints."
Before the universe has been clearly presented the great sacrifice made by the Father and the Son in man's behalf. The hour has come when Christ occupies His rightful position and is glorified above principalities and powers and every name that is named. It was for the joy that was set before Him—that He might bring many sons unto glory—that He endured the cross and despised the shame. And inconceivably great as was the sorrow and the shame, yet greater is the joy and the glory. He looks upon the redeemed, renewed in His own image, every heart bearing the perfect impress of the divine, every face reflecting the likeness of their King. He beholds in them the result of the travail of His soul, and He is satisfied. Then, in a voice that reaches the assembled multitudes of the righteous and the wicked, He declares: "Behold the purchase of My blood! For these I suffered, for these I died, that they might dwell in My presence throughout eternal ages." And the song of praise ascends from the white-robed ones about the throne: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing." Revelation 5:12.
Notwithstanding that Satan has been constrained to acknowledge God's justice and to bow to the supremacy of Christ, his character remains unchanged. The spirit of rebellion, like a mighty torrent, again bursts forth. Filled with frenzy, he determines not to yield the great controversy. The time has come for a last desperate struggle against the King [672] of heaven. He rushes into the midst of his subjects and endeavors to inspire them with his own fury and arouse them to instant battle. But of all the countless millions whom he has allured into rebellion, there are none now to acknowledge his supremacy. His power is at an end. The wicked are filled with the same hatred of God that inspires Satan; but they see that their case is hopeless, that they cannot prevail against Jehovah. Their rage is kindled against Satan and those who have been his agents in deception, and with the fury of demons they turn upon them.
Saith the Lord: "Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit." "I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. . . . I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. . . . I will bring thee to ashes upon the Earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. . . . Thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more." Ezekiel 28:6-8, 16-19.
"Every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire." "The indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and His fury upon all their armies: He hath utterly destroyed them, He hath delivered them to the slaughter." "Upon the wicked He shall rain quick burning coals, fire and brimstone and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup." Isaiah 9:5; 34:2; Psalm 11:6, margin. Fire comes down from God out of heaven. The Earth is broken up. The weapons concealed in its depths are drawn forth. Devouring flames burst from every yawning chasm. The very rocks are on fire. The day has come that shall burn as an oven. The elements melt with fervent heat, the Earth also, and the works that are therein are burned up. Malachi 4:1; 2 Peter 3:10. The Earth 's surface seems one molten mass—a vast, seething [673] lake of fire. It is the time of the judgment and perdition of ungodly men—"the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion." Isaiah 34:8.
The wicked receive their recompense in the Earth . Proverbs 11:31. They "shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts." Malachi 4:1. Some are destroyed as in a moment, while others suffer many days. All are punished "according to their deeds." The sins of the righteous having been transferred to Satan, he is made to suffer not only for his own rebellion, but for all the sins which he has caused God's people to commit. His punishment is to be far greater than that of those whom he has deceived. After all have perished who fell by his deceptions, he is still to live and suffer on. In the cleansing flames the wicked are at last destroyed, root and branch—Satan the root, his followers the branches. The full penalty of the law has been visited; the demands of justice have been met; and heaven and Earth , beholding, declare the righteousness of Jehovah.
Satan's work of ruin is forever ended. For six thousand years he has wrought his will, filling the Earth with woe and causing grief throughout the universe. The whole creation has groaned and travailed together in pain. Now God's creatures are forever delivered from his presence and temptations. "The whole Earth is at rest, and is quiet: they [the righteous] break forth into singing." Isaiah 14:7. And a shout of praise and triumph ascends from the whole loyal universe. "The voice of a great multitude," "as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings," is heard, saying: "Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." Revelation 19:6.
While the Earth was wrapped in the fire of destruction, the righteous abode safely in the Holy City. Upon those that had part in the first resurrection, the second death has no power. While God is to the wicked a consuming fire, He is to His people both a sun and a shield. Revelation 20:6; Psalm 84:11. [674]
"I saw a new heaven and a new Earth : for the first heaven and the first Earth were passed away." Revelation 21:1. The fire that consumes the wicked purifies the Earth . Every trace of the curse is swept away. No eternally burning hell will keep before the ransomed the fearful consequences of sin.
One reminder alone remains: Our Redeemer will ever bear the marks of His crucifixion. Upon His wounded head, upon His side, His hands and feet, are the only traces of the cruel work that sin has wrought. Says the prophet, beholding Christ in His glory: "He had bright beams coming out of His side: and there was the hiding of His power." Habakkuk 3:4, margin. That pierced side whence flowed the crimson stream that reconciled man to God—there is the Savior’s glory, there "the hiding of His power." "Mighty to save," through the sacrifice of redemption, He was therefore strong to execute justice upon them that despised God's mercy. And the tokens of His humiliation are His highest honor; through the eternal ages the wounds of Calvary will show forth His praise and declare His power.
"O Tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto Thee shall it come, even the first dominion." Micah 4:8. The time has come to which holy men have looked with longing since the flaming sword barred the first pair from Eden, the time for "the redemption of the purchased possession." Ephesians 1:14. The Earth originally given to man as his kingdom, betrayed by him into the hands of Satan, and so long held by the mighty foe, has been brought back by the great plan of redemption. All that was lost by sin has been restored. "Thus saith the Lord . . . that formed the Earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited." Isaiah 45:18. God's original purpose in the creation of the Earth is fulfilled as it is made the eternal abode of the redeemed. "The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever." Psalm 37:29.
A fear of making the future inheritance seem too material [675] has led many to spiritualize away the very truths which lead us to look upon it as our home. Christ assured His disciples that He went to prepare mansions for them in the Father's house. Those who accept the teachings of God's word will not be wholly ignorant concerning the heavenly abode. And yet, "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." 1 Corinthians 2:9. Human language is inadequate to describe the reward of the righteous. It will be known only to those who behold it. No finite mind can comprehend the glory of the Paradise of God.
In the Bible the inheritance of the saved is called "a country." Hebrews 11:14-16. There the heavenly Shepherd leads His flock to fountains of living waters. The tree of life yields its fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations. There are ever-flowing streams, clear as crystal, and beside them waving trees cast their shadows upon the paths prepared for the ransomed of the Lord. There the wide-spreading plains swell into hills of beauty, and the mountains of God rear their lofty summits. On those peaceful plains, beside those living streams, God's people, so long pilgrims and wanderers, shall find a home.
"My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places." "Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise." "They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: . . . Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands." Isaiah 32:18; 60:18; Isaiah 65:21, 22.
There, "the wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose." "Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree." "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall [676] lie down with the kid; . . . and a little child shall lead them." "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain," saith the Lord. Isaiah 35:1; 55:13; Isaiah 11:6, 9.
Pain cannot exist in the atmosphere of heaven. There will be no more tears, no funeral trains, no badges of mourning. "There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying: . . . for the former things are passed away." "The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity." Revelation 21:4; Isaiah 33:24.
There is the New Jerusalem, the metropolis of the glorified new Earth , "a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God." "Her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal." "The nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the Earth do bring their glory and honor into it." Saith the Lord: "I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people." "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." Isaiah 62:3; Revelation 21:11, 24; Isaiah 65:19; Revelation 21:3.
In the City of God "there shall be no night." None will need or desire repose. There will be no weariness in doing the will of God and offering praise to His name. We shall ever feel the freshness of the morning and shall ever be far from its close. "And they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light." Revelation 22:5. The light of the sun will be superseded by a radiance which is not painfully dazzling, yet which immeasurably surpasses the brightness of our noontide. The glory of God and the Lamb floods the Holy City with unfading light. The redeemed walk in the sunless glory of perpetual day.
"I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it." Revelation 21:22. The people of God are privileged to hold open communion with the Father and the Son. "Now we see through a glass, darkly." [677] 1 Corinthians 13:12. We behold the image of God reflected, as in a mirror, in the works of nature and in His dealings with men; but then we shall see Him face to face, without a dimming veil between. We shall stand in His presence and behold the glory of His countenance.
There the redeemed shall know, even as also they are known. The loves and sympathies which God Himself has planted in the soul shall there find truest and sweetest exercise. The pure communion with holy beings, the harmonious social life with the blessed angels and with the faithful ones of all ages who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, the sacred ties that bind together "the whole family in heaven and Earth " (Ephesians 3:15)—these help to constitute the happiness of the redeemed.
There, immortal minds will contemplate with never-failing delight the wonders of creative power, the mysteries of redeeming love. There will be no cruel, deceiving foe to tempt to forgetfulness of God. Every faculty will be developed, every capacity increased. The acquirement of knowledge will not weary the mind or exhaust the energies. There the grandest enterprises may be carried forward, the loftiest aspirations reached, the highest ambitions realized; and still there will arise new heights to surmount, new wonders to admire, new truths to comprehend, fresh objects to call forth the powers of mind and soul and body.
All the treasures of the universe will be open to the study of God's redeemed. Unfettered by mortality, they wing their tireless flight to worlds afar—worlds that thrilled with sorrow at the spectacle of human woe and rang with songs of gladness at the tidings of a ransomed soul. With unutterable delight the children of Earth enter into the joy and the wisdom of unfallen beings. They share the treasures of knowledge and understanding gained through ages upon ages in contemplation of God's handiwork. With undimmed vision they gaze upon the glory of creation—suns and stars and systems, all in their appointed order circling the throne [678] of Deity. Upon all things, from the least to the greatest, the Creator's name is written, and in all are the riches of His power displayed.
And the years of eternity, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious revelations of God and of Christ. As knowledge is progressive, so will love, reverence, and happiness increase. The more men learn of God, the greater will be their admiration of His character. As Jesus opens before them the riches of redemption and the amazing achievements in the great controversy with Satan, the hearts of the ransomed thrill with more fervent devotion, and with more rapturous joy they sweep the harps of gold; and ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands of voices unite to swell the mighty chorus of praise.
"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the Earth , and under the Earth , and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever." Revelation 5:13.
The great controversy is ended. Sin and sinners are no more. The entire universe is clean. One pulse of harmony and gladness beats through the vast creation. From Him who created all, flow life and light and gladness, throughout the realms of illimitable space. From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love.

The Posthuman Apocalypse and Fake Alien Vatican Disclosure
We find ourselves at a crossroads where the coming Genetic Armageddon, which is merely a reboot of the Pre-Antediluvian Days of Noah, including The Fallen Angel’s rise to power through genetic manipulation.
The Coming Posthuman Apocalypse
The Earth and distant realms are reeling in the wake of war and ruin. A powerful insubordinate Dark Prince, personified as The Dragon, The Devil, Satan, and Lucifer has mounted an unsuccessful insurrection against the Kingdom of Heaven in a battle of unimaginable destruction.
This is the preamble to the story of Mankind. The offspring of Adam have forgotten the patrimony and purpose of their race. Now faced with extinction at the hands of a demonic adversary, it is high time for them to remember.
From the fall of The Watchers in the Pre-Antediluvian world to the machinations of Luciferian forces in modern times, the unveiling of a demonic presence has summoned Mankind to The Battle at Genetic Armageddon, thrusting us sprawling on the brink of a Posthuman Apocalypse.
The forbidden secrets of the prehistoric past are linked to the forthcoming events of the prophetic future. The Vatican Jesuits are preparing for the announcement of Alien Saviors and the Alien Architects Engineers of Mankind…meaning Alien Gods. The Vatican Jesuits seeks to eradicate the idea of the Christian Lord, Yahweh, through this Alien Disclosure Deception, which may usher in very real demonic entities.
That is what CERN is for.
While occultists are attempting to harness the arcane necromancy of the Canaanites, Luciferian genetic engineers are working feverishly to reconstitute the genomes of the giants, and resurrect the dreaded race of Rephaim in the Earth .
“Rephaim” means “terrible one”, “giant race”…a race of aboriginal or early inhabitants East of the Jordan in Ashterothkarnaim (Genesis 14:5) and in the valley of Rephaim Southwest of Jerusalem (Joshua 15:8). They associated with other giant races, as the Emim and Anakim (Deuteronomy 2:10,11) and the Zamzummim (Deuteronomy 2:20). It is probable that they were all of the same stock, being given different names by the different tribes who came in contact with them.
Though the Rephaim are never mentioned directly in the same breath as the Nephilim, they are directly connected to the Anakim, who are connected with the Nephilim.
Steve Quayle has conducted much research on the topic, and claims the two were cousins, or, shared some sort of blood relation. By extension, thus, the Rephaim were also distant descendants of the Nephilim.
These people are first mentioned in Genesis 14.
“And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim and the Zuzim in Ham and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim...
--Genesis 14:5
Interestingly enough, these people are depicted as being defeated by the coalition responsible for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. As they were distantly removed from the 1st generation Nephilim, their strength was not on par with their ancestors. This defeat, however, does not seem to imply a complete annihilation.
Although The Fallen Angel Nephilim were washed away in The Flood, there dark spirits remained intact upon Earth , awaiting a time when they could, once again, assume genetic command upon The Earth . We are in living in that time. The Satanic Elite are currently genetically modifying all human beings, using vaccines, to accelerate the rise of a Nephilim infected hybrid race. These Nephilim were mysterious beings mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, both terribly large and immensely strong. The word Nephilim is loosely translated as “giant”, though some traditional Jewish explanations interpret them as Fallen Angels. The main reference to them is in Genesis, but the passage is somewhat ambiguous, and the identity of the Nephilim is disputed amongst Biblical scholars, of course.
The Nephilim Fallen Angels
The Transhumanist want Xenogenesis to take over all life on Earth , using Earth as a petri dish or test tube to spawn every imaginable and unimaginable crossbreed creature from the depths of Hell. This future of terror that will soon face human beings will include monstrous creations which are even now being developed with secret genetic technologies in labs around the world. Xenogenesis is the production of an offspring entirely different from either of the parents, transformed though the addition of DNA from an alien source, be it insect, plant, marine life, or animal to the normal genetics of a human being. The results will be the mutated comic book super-heroes come to life, living creatures with mythical abilities unlike anything Mankind has seen for thousands of years. Picture the Xenomorph from The Cinematic Alien Franchise. Now imagine something 10 times more nightmarish.
This horrifying future targets God's original creation, Mankind, for corruption. Wicked Luciferians hope to use Ancient Alchemical (Fallen Angel) technologies to shift the balance of power from God, and God’s Creation, Mankind, to Satan and his loathsome and corrupted followers. Hideous Chimera monsters will soon be presented to the world as our Saviors, with hollow promises of Eternal Life without the need of Christ, God, or morality. It is the Garden of Eden Promise of Eternal Life, once again, presented to Mankind, but this time, instead of being presented as merely a metaphorical fruit, it will be offered in the form of genetic engineering and nano synthetic technological wizardry.
Flesh and machine, indeed, will be fused together in this horrific future of hybrid genetic experiments. Even now, these seducing spirits are guiding and tricking Mankind to unwittingly commit genetic suicide by accepting The mRNA genetically modifying Covid Vaccine. The Covid Vaccine is merely a genetic modification tool, and operating system for the human body, which even Moderna, its creator, admits.
This genetically mutated replacement race stands poised to bring about the total annihilation of The Human Race. There is a true Savior, Christ, who waits silently and patiently to rescue human beings from this most perilous time in history. For over 2000 years, The Luciferian Elite have done all things possible to hide the reality of Christ from Mankind in order to achieve their dark machinations for Eternal Life through the intellectual False Light of Lucifer.
And so it will be like in the Days of Noah, before we see the Second coming of Christ, The Blood will flow like rivers. All Mankind, including the genetically mutated animal Chimeras were genetically corrupt and “unclean” by similar genetic engineering techniques in, resulting in The Lord wiping it all away with The Great Flood.
Genetic engineering is not new. The Nephilim Fallen Ones practiced it and taught it to ancient Man, corrupting Mankind and creating an abomination. The Nephilim were beings mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, and were immensely large and strong creatures. The word, “Nephilim”, is loosely translated as “Giants” in some Bibles but left untranslated in others. Traditional Jewish explanations interpret them as Fallen Angels.
The Vatican’s Secret ‘Alien’ Plans And The Importance of CERN
It is crucial to remember that the world has been psychologically conditioned to believe in Outer Space and billions of other Earth -like planets out there in mythical Outer Space. NASA and Hollywood have done a great job of brainwashing the entire world towards this ideology.
The idea that Ancient Alien Scientists have genetically engineered Mankind and possibly seeded The Earth through Panspermia, is a narrative we see in multiple Hollywood films.
It would be very easy, given this preparation, for The Vatican, in conjunction with Masonic NASA, to offer the idea to the world that Aliens are revisiting The Earth and they want to do any number of things that The Luciferian Elite plan to do to Mankind:
1) Subsume Mankind into some kind of their Cosmic Borg Consciousness.
2) Merge their technologies with Mankind to protect precious GAIA.
3) Destroy Mankind because it is their failed genetic experiment.
4) Offer Mankind advanced technologies to enable us to live forever and become Godlike.
5) Genetically enhance and upgrade Mankind to make him a Transhuman slave to this alleged Advanced Alien Intelligence.
6) Brainwash Mankind into believing that Jesus Christ was merely an Ancient Alien and other, even greater Messiah figures, exist in Outer Space.
7) Mankind was actually the result of Intelligent Design but “The Designer” is an Ancient Alien Race.
8) The Virus actually came from an off-world planet, and it was introduced to Mankind by an Ancient Alien Civilization to kill off Mankind because Mankind is their failed genetic experiment.
9) Alines have arrived to steal all of Mankind’s natural resources to save, or merely enhance, their dying civilization in need of water, carbon, iron, etc…
There are no Aliens. There are demonic powers, however. The Vatican is going to announce that they have contacted Aliens, and fool the world.
Whether you are a religious person or not, religion holds an important part in helping to prepare the masses of this world for Extraterrestrial contact. Even though NO Disclosure has yet been given by the Pope after many rumors flying around recently, there is definitely something going on, some kind of ‘build up’…..and if you add in the Large Hadron Collider machine at CERN, then the pieces of the jigsaw start coming together.
So Pope Francis was recently ‘reportedly’ about to disclose about the existence of extraterrestrial life to the world…..But not surprisingly this did not happen. But could there be more truth in this than what we originally thought?
This Pope seems eager to introduce these alleged Aliens…a bit too eager.
Whether or not this Alien claim is true or not, two things are sure:
1) We’re supposed to now believe that ETs exist
2) And Jesuit Pope Francis is committed to transforming the way all of us live in this world, contingent upon this belief.
Once researcher and writer, Tom Horn, said that he had even spoke with some of the astronomers at The Vatican Observatory atop Mount Graham, and they talked to him openly and explained to him that they are searching for extraterrestrial intelligence and planets inside our solar systems. The Vatican clearly takes the whole ‘life beyond Planet Earth ’ subject VERY seriously. Horn has also said before that conversation, he was in contact with a NASA female scientist, and she told Horn:
“There is NO question that there are extraterrestrial beings, and they are out there, and if we will, we can contact them, NO doubt.”
The Vatican has been pushing themselves to the forefront in the observing of ‘what’s up there’ for a good long while now. The Vatican is looking for these ET beings and they also know that these alleged Alien beings are on their way, and some are already here. This is the narrative they are broadcasting to get the world ready for their Alien Disclosure.
And so, it is just a matter of time before they made the BIG announcement that they are here. The Vatican believes that ‘something’ is definitely up there, and it is coming here. That’s their story. And in an Enclosed Cosmology , we know it is all absolute deception and lies.
1) Aliens are coming? A laughable NO.
2) Demonic entities are being unleashed from below through CERN, as well as Demonic Fallen Angels are being invoked, though Satanic rituals, from above? A definite YES.
The Vatican have been searching for the Aliens for a good long while now. They own all the top high-powered telescope, worldwide.
Some other interesting thoughts given is that according to Pastor Charles Lawson, it is said that the so-called ‘Green Revolution’ is going on right now. This Green Revolution is part of a ‘one world government’ and is an attempt to bring you under the umbrella of these coming aliens, that allegedly planted the human race on Earth .
Perhaps, the One World New Age of Lucifer will be a United World in conjunction, or actually under these alleged Aliens (Demonic entities). And the highest Ancient Akine Engineer of mankind will be announce as The Alien Messiah, come back to spread The Amended Gospel of Ancient Aline genetic engineering, which resulted in the creation of Mankind, long ago. It is the plot from Ridley Scotts Masonic science fiction revelatory films, Prometheus and Alien Covenant, as ever it always is.
The Vatican’s narrative will be that The Aliens have been observing us, and they do not like how we have destroyed the environment, all of this dove-tailing into The United Nations Agenda 21 Climate Change sustainability propaganda all too perfectly, if get my drift.
And so The Vatican will announce, in conjunction with Masonic NASA, that these Ancient Aliens have been observing us and watching us intensely since they spawned us through their highly advanced genetic engineering technologies, eons ago. They will be upset with what we humans have done to this beautiful “Planet Earth ”, and they will express concerned and dismay, and launch campaign of terror against Mankind to prevent allegedly Mankind from destroying The Earth .
And, I believe The Vatican may assume, with NASA, a chief roll in communicating to the world what these mysterious Aliens desire, which of course is how it must be since there are really no Aliens, in truth. It will all come from The Vatican’s power to mesmerize the world into a perception that Jesuit Pope Francis and The Vatican clergy have an exclusive, close connection, and interrelationship with these alleged Aliens, which merits their carefully constructed liaison with them.
From this illusion of interrelationship, The Vatican will simply announce that The Aliens are not happy with the way we have treated our “Planet”, and hence, this would logically follow:
1) Mankind is failed experiment of theirs.
2) The Ancient Alien Engineers are The Alien Saviors of Mankind
3) Mankind is a threat to precious GAIA.
4) Mankind is the virus.
5) Mankind is their property.
6) Mankind needs a genetic update.
7) And/Or, Mankind should be exterminated, altogether.
8) Finally, Mankind needs to be entirely eradicated in order to make way for a Post Human World of Genetically Superior Transhuman Creatures.
And, again, this all just happens to mesh perfectly with United Nations Agenda 21 sustainably protocols and land allocation plans. Who would have guessed? Can you say…AGENDA? Subsequently, all of this Fake Alien Disclosure will be blatantly tied to The ‘Green Revolution’ and pseudo-scientific Climate Science. Additionally, The Vatican is closely tied to The Large Hadron Collider and CERN, and it desperately attempting to open a STAR GATE/WORMHOLE into other dimensions.
Nevertheless, everything will work together to support the narrative that any demonic forces and entities that they are successful in unleashing are simply Ancient Astronauts from distant galaxies. In this way, The Vatican will position themselves at the geopolitical and spiritual forefront as the emissaries for introducing The Alien Messiah (Antichrist) to the world as Mankind’s supposed “Alien Savior”.
The is why The Pope declared to the world that he would Baptize any ‘Alien Visitors’. It is all Jesuit theatrics to prepare the world for an Alien Disclosure.
Project Bluebeam theatrics, in collaboration and inclusions to:
1) CERN’s activities
2) Hollywood science fiction propaganda
3) Hollywood CGI productions
4) H.A.A.R.P. weather modification technologies
5) DARPA
6) The Masonic Media
7) NASA
8) 5G Skynet Frameworks
9) Floating Satellites
10) High Altitude Military Aircraft
11) Holographic Virtual technologies
12) Sub Sonic Low Frequency Oscillators
13) Quantum Computers
14) Artificial Intelligence Algorithms
…will put on the show of a millennium to dazzle and wow a world psychologically conditioned to accept the possibility, and moreover, the inevitability of Alien Contact.
Will the LHC Open Up The Doors To Demonic Beings?
The creepy thing about all this is that several Jesuit priests have died under very unusual suspicious circumstances. There was a Priest, Malachi Martin, who was an Irish Catholic priest and highly controversial writer on the Catholic Church. He was originally ordained as a Jesuit Priest, and as he attempted to reveal his darkest secrets to the world regarding the Vatican Jesuits, he died under suspicious circumstances before he was able to tell his truth. Malachi, a strong and healthy man, had suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage, which was allegedly due to a fall in his apartment in Manhattan in 1999, four days after his 78th birthday. Coincidentally, the Large Hadron Collider was finally constructed about the same time as his death. How coincidental?
Another rather strange incident occurred during an interview on an Italian TV news channel, where another Jesuit priest, who was trying to tell the world the TRUTH about what was really going on within the Vatican in connection to CERN, was later found dead with a rope around his neck.
A third Jesuit priest, in an attempt to tell the people what was going on also died under suspicious circumstance. Some people say that it is clear that these three priests knew exactly what the Vatican is up to, and their sudden death is potentially a sign that the Vatican is involved in a dubious plan to arrive at a One World Government and Unified Luciferian Religion.
Again, Jesuit Pope Francis has already confirmed to the world that The Catholic Church is preparing for Alien contact. And he confirmed to the world that he would “Baptize any Alien Beings that wanted to be baptized.” It readily becomes apparent that The Vatican does know something about CERN’s progress in unleashing demonic life, which explains The Vatican’s obvious interest in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It is all like a scene out of Dan Brown’s Satanic book, Angels and Demons, and it almost sounds like a welcome party for “what’s to come” has already been planned.
For better or for worse, the world is being prepared for Alien Contact from The Vatican Jesuits.
Nevertheless, Christ is Lord and now is the time to discover this in all of its Glory and Truth, like never before.
Play time is over.
The Alien Antichrist is about to be revealed to the world.
--In Christ, Gregory L. Garrett
Scientism is the Religion Called Modern Science
Contrary to popular belief, modern Quantum Physics, an even Classical Newtonian Physics, is essentially built upon philosophic conjecture and ancient Kabbalistic Luciferian Occult assumptions that are entirely unproven. Basically, Modern Quantum Physics, in particular, is a set of philosophic assumptions which are then injected by endless circular and unprovable mathematical equations, leading to endless circularities of labyrinthine and intentionally convoluted mazes of unfounded hypotheses, assertions, and postulates. This leads to a modern religion masquerading as science called, SCIENTISM.
What is SCIENTISM?
SCIENTISM is the effort to make a religion of science, as I said essentially built upon philosophic conjecture and ancient Kabbalistic Luciferian Occult assumptions that are entirely unproven. On the other hand, Science, the tool of inquiry based on the scientific method, must be distinguished from those fanatical adherents, worshipping philosophic conjecture and ancient Kabbalistic Luciferian Occult assumptions. Similarly, Islam, the religion, is not necessarily most accurately represented by its most fanatical adherents, regardless of how much noise said adherents may make or how much attention they may receive.
As pioneering physicist Tom Campbell puts it, science has become the “fundamental religion, if you will, of Western culture”, in the sense that “the priests of old used to tell the people what to believe, what was right, how did it work…”, just as now the “high priests of science” have reached the holy position of having the ability to “tell us in Western culture what to believe”, which “most of the people won’t think about” anymore, because “they’ve gotten the word from the people who know”.
The belief that science holds all the answers is no different from the belief that any other particular religion holds all the answers. Like any religion, Scientism holds a number of fundamental dogmas — i.e. beliefs its adherents take on faith, rather than logic and reason.
An example of some of the presuppositions and dogmas of this religion called SCIENTISM are:
1. The assumption that Gravity actually exists when it is merely a theory, not believed by Einstein or any top modern physicist.
2. The assumption that Dark Matter and Dark Energy are real, when they are only science fiction reactions to science fiction Gravity.
3. The assumption that science already understands the nature of reality, leaving only the details to be filled in
4. The assumption that matter is unconscious, insentient, dead
5. The assumption that the laws of nature are fixed (physical constants like the speed of light)
6. The assumption that nature (and evolution) is purposeless, blind, random
7. The assumption that memory must be stored somewhere, somehow, materially, in the brain
8. The assumption that the mind exists only inside the head
9. The assumption that anything outside the paradigm (“paranormal” phenomena) must be illusory
10. The assumption that mechanistic (materialist) medicine is the only healing paradigm that works
11. The assumption that time is linear and not (significantly) influenced by higher dimensions
12. The assumption that any current scientific models of the universe are even remotely accurate (i.e. Big Bang, Big Bounce, Multiverse, etc…)
13. The assumption that The Copernican, Helio-Centric Theory of The Universe is true and beyond questioning.
It must be noted SCIENTISM is the most pernicious and most occult (Hidden) religion of all, in that it does not recognize itself as a religion, thereby making it the most deceptive and dangerous of any religion in the world.
Its adherents, including most of the known world at this point, are completely oblivious to it’s even being a Faith-based dogmatic religion. The more accurate description of their fundamental (unconscious) beliefs have been given shape and form by adherents to SCIENTISM, and the ruthless dogmatic nature of these beliefs goes deftly under the radar, even though these beliefs are neither rational, provable, nor even plausible given the body of evidence from actual real experimental science (As Nicolai Tesla repeatedly pointed out).
The variations of organizations complicit in this hundreds of year old scientific fraud range from, but are not limited to, everywhere from NASA to CERN’s Linear Accelerator Research Institutes, University of California Berkeley, Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, California Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Tokyo, University of Chicago, Cambridge University, Yale University, Harvard University, Cornell University, University of California at Santa Barbara, University of Colorado Boulder, and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on…all complicit in physics fraud and the propagation of lies and deceptions called, SCIENTISM, the religion of the Luciferian Hermetic Occult.
In a nutshell, modern physics can be construed to be an amalgamation of the Luciferian New Age religion called, Theosophy, as well, but that’s another essay…
Some of them know it, some of them don’t, and some of them don’t care, either way. They just do what they are told by other scientist or lose their tenure or job. It’s that cut and dried…much like any fundamentalist religion. If you question the dogmatic consensus of the scientific priesthood around you, you will be excommunicated from the religious order…or even murdered, as Nicolai Tesla was.
Additionally, virtually everything that came out of the mouths of Carl Sagan, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Neil de Grasse, Morgan Freeman, and counting, are nothing more than dog and pony show ramblings, architected to razzle-dazzle the unknowing masses and lull them into a gradual submission of this ancient Hermetic Occult SCIENTISM religion.
Also, Scientism was instrumental in spawning a veritable cornucopia of daft and trite Antitheist pundits such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, both excellent examples of lost, uninformed, deluded reactionary thinkers, reacting to religions far less dogmatic to their own SCIENTISM. This alone illustrates the lethal power of SCIENTISM. It was the chosen religion of Adolph Hitler, Charles Darwin, and Mao Se Tung, as well as Dawkins and Hitchens, all leading to a brand of Nihilistic Atheism that claimed the lives of over 100 million in just the last century.
Darwin’s Evolutionary Theory was a direct offshoot of SCIENTISM, and Evolutionary Theory quickly and swiftly translates to SOCIAL DARWINISM where all the great mass murderer leaders conduct bloodbaths in the name of SCIENTISM.
Adherents to SOCIAL DARWINISM and SCIENTISM include Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Se Tung, Lenin and currently the NEOCON Generals and Politicians and their genocide of The Middle East, The Israeli genocide of The Palestinians, and the United Nations with their Global Warming based Depopulation Campaign.
Notice that all these people and organizations are strictly NON-Christian. Mercy, Love, and Forgiveness absolutely do not fit into the SCIENTISM Dogma of a cold, Godless, random, chaotic, and meaningless universe.
Further, for over 50 years, the masses have been fully indoctrinated into pseudo-science SCIENTISM through Hollywood’s science fiction film onslaughts, not to mention NASA’s science fiction film onslaughts.
The idea was and still is that if you baffle the audience with as many huge numbers, with trillions and trillions of miles, trillions and trillions of particles, and trillions and trillions of dollars of taxpayer’s money, nobody will really question what you are saying, doing, or spending.
It worked.
Question the White Lab Coat Priests of Scientism and see how far you get. You will get ridicule, the threat to ostracize you, and condemnation only, and yet they called themselves free-thinking scientists? They are not. They are devotees of an ancient Kabbalistic Luciferian religion called, SCIENTISM, with all the rigid dogmas, unprovable beliefs, and punishments that any fundamentalist religion possesses.
Many great physicists have pointed this out, including Richard Feynman and Nicolai Tesla, but the delusion goes on, and the layman masses believe all the fairytale-based math from these physicists because they condemn and mock any who disagree with their religion called SCIENTISM.
Nicolai Tesla, the greatest scientists and inventor of the 20th century put forth particular opposition to this SCIENTISM CULT of Modern Quantum Physics, and he ended up dead for it, and all his patents stolen, and his contributions virtually erased from the history books. They require you march in lock boot step with their dogmatic religion, or it will not go well for you if you are playing at the Tesla level of genius.

ease the likelihood of mass hysteria by comparing an idealized minimal state with an idealized welfare state, addressing a previously completely unexplored research question. Our findings are highly relevant and important because the policy failures induced by mass hysteria are potentially catastrophic for public health.
The size and power of the state contributes positively to the likelihood and extensions of mass hysteria. The more centralized and the more power a state has, the higher the probability and extension of mass hysteria. In a minimal state, there exist self-correcting mechanisms that limit collective hysteria. The enforcement of private property rights limits the harm inflicted by those that succumb to the hysteria. The state (thanks to a fuzzy public sector and its soft power, by contrast, amplifies and exacerbates mass panics, potentially causing important havoc. What are temporarily, locally limited, isolated outbreaks of mass hysteria, the state may convert into a global mass hysteria for an extended period. Recent development in information technology and, particularly, the use of social media, as well as a decline of religion, have made societies more prone to the development of mass hysteria. Unfortunately, once a mass hysteria takes hold of the government, the amount of damage the hysteria can inflict to life and liberty surges as the state’s respect for private property and basic human rights is limited. The violation of basic human rights in the form of curfews, lockdowns, and coercive closure of business has been amply illustrated during the Covid 19crisis.
Naturally, the COVID 19 example is indicative rather than representative and its lessons cannot be generalized. During the COVID 19 crisis, several authors have argued that from a public health point of view, these invasive interventions such as lockdowns have been unnecessary and, indeed, detrimental to overall public health. In fact, prior scientific research on disease mitigation measures during a possible influenza pandemic had warned against such invasive interventions and recommended a more normal social functioning. Moreover, in reaction to past pandemics such as the Asian flu of 1957–1958, there were no lockdowns, and research before 2020 had opposed lockdowns. From this perspective, the lockdowns have been a policy error. We have shown that these policy errors may well have been produced by a collective hysteria. To which extent there has been a mass hysteria during the Covid 19crisis is open for future research.
In order to prevent the repetition of policy errors similar to those during the COVID 19 crisis, one should be aware of the political economy of mass hysteria developed in this article and the role of the state in fostering mass hysteria. Public health is likely to be affected negatively by state interventions during a mass hysteria due to policy errors.

The Great Scamdemic
NWO Globalists Put the Staged Panic on Super-Steroids with Latest False Scare “This is a RED ALERT of the very highest order. Big Pharma and WHO Scientists have conspired to declare that no natural immunity is occurring from COVID-19 infections. They are deceitfully pointing to multiple re-infections to prove their case. What they willfully neglect to state is the extent to which 5G (and 4G), annual flu vaccines and chemtrails are being used to trigger corona- virus re-infections. This is all about promoting vaccine-induced immunity as the ONLY way to halt the pandemic. The future vaccine, which will be toxic and ineffective, is being presented as the only path to terminating the lockdowns. Which means they already have a fake vaccine ready to roll-out…soon to become compulsory! That means a mandatory “immunity certificate” will function as a global citizen ID card. And, that perpetual medical martial law will become the new normal.”
--Intelligence Analyst and Former U.S. Army Officer State of the Nation
There is currently an all-out war being waged worldwide on the true and proven scientific doctrine well known as HERD IMMUNITY.
The latest deceit to be perpetrated during THE GREAT SCAMDEMIC is as alarming as it gets. Not only does it reveal how malevolent these career globalist criminals really are, their nefarious New World Order agenda is becoming more transparent by the week.
Quite ironically, their ever-changing pandemic narrative is quickly exposing one of the primary goals of the NWO globalist cabal—mandatory COVID-19 vaccines.
Surely, there’s no better way to stage a panic around a manufactured pandemic than to con the public into believing there is no immunity conferred upon those patients who have recovered from COVID-19.
The reason why they are able to get away with this deception is because the perpetrators are careful to keep hidden the other 3 of the 4 major components of this quaternary weapon system.
Quaternary Weapon System Activated
Until folks understand that there are at least four components of the COVID-19 bioweapon system, they will be easily misled by the entirely staged panic. The unaware will also be ever more vulnerable to both an initial coronavirus infection as well as multiple re-infections.
In addition to the COVID-19 bioweapon itself, there are 3 other components that are creating a highly conducive environment for this pandemic to NEVER END. What follows is a list of the 4 major stealth weapons which are covertly deployed by this AI-coordinated quaternary weapon system.
(1) COVID-19 Bioweapon
(2) 5G Roll-outs & Existing 4G
(3) Annual Flu Vaccines
(4) Chemtrail Aerosols
The reason why so many COVID-19 patients are experiencing multiple re-infections is because of their exposure to any or all four of these coronavirus triggers. The military deployment of 5G worldwide, however, is the primary trigger of the biggest urban explosions of coronavirus clusters. The extraordinarily intensive 5G roll-outs in Wuhan, Milan, New York City and the Seattle area, where the first major coronavirus outbreaks occurred, prove this direct connection between 5G and COVID-19.
Coronavirus Clusters Correlating Directly with 5G Networks
However, there is also a fifth element of this ongoing wave of bioterrorism being furtively conducted around the globe. That concerns the relaunching of the COVID 19 bioweapon in the same nations, cities or regions where coronavirus clusters have already exploded. Sometimes, these relaunches disseminate different strains of COVID-19 which serve to significantly complicate both diagnosis and treatment even more.
Hence, there are actually five operations associated with this quaternary weapon system that are being used to extend the pandemic indefinitely. Successive biological attacks with the COVID-19 bioweapon in previously attacked areas is clearly the most powerful method of re-infection of all. Therefore, the “COVID-19 relaunch” is added to the previous list as follows.
Covid 19 Relaunches
It should be noted that each of the four main bioweapons contains the potential to not only trigger coronavirus outbreaks when employed individually, when they are utilized in a concerted manner they will retrigger coronavirus explosions with purposeful dramatic effect in those targeted cities. In this way, the perpetrators will sustain the bioengineered coronavirus pandemic into perpetuity.
Chemtrails
There is a growing body of evidence which supports the reality that COVID-19 dissemination is taking place via chemtrail aerosols. These chemical engineering operations have been ongoing for decades and provide the perfect cover and vehicle for coronavirus re-infections.
Key Point:
Chemtrails have long been suspected of delivering various pathogenic micro-organisms into the troposphere. Many people have complained of Chemtrail flu and Chemtrail syndrome in areas that are heavily sprayed with chemtrail aerosols.[1] Now we see that there is PROOF That COVID-19 Is Being Sprayed in the Chemtrails.
It should be noted that “By far, the most efficient and effective mode for applying biological weapons is creation of an aerosol cloud.” Not only that, but with each passing year of chemtrailed skies around the planet, the respiratory systems of every human being are being profoundly compromised with all sorts of toxic chemical contaminants and biological agents.
The lungs can take only so much abuse and will eventually become susceptible to the highly opportunistic and pernicious COVID-19. The older the individual, the more industrial pollution, as well as tainted ambient air in both the home and workplace, he or she is exposed to.
The resulting degradation of lung health, especially diminished immunity and capacity, has created a fertile environment for this particularly infectious variant of coronavirus — COVID-19 — to bring about full-blown Coronavirus syndrome.
The Ultimate Genocidal Bioweapon System
This is why the elderly are routinely put on ventilators; their lungs have been weakened considerably after decades of various environmental exposures such as passive smoke, dietary assaults from mucus-producing foods and damaging pharmaceutical drugs. Older folks who have underlying conditions that have lung involvement are especially susceptible to the most debilitating COVID-19 symptom sets. Nevertheless, it’s of paramount importance to understand that coronavirus treatments that prescribe the use ventilators have caused deadly serious problems as this NYC-area ICU physician pointed out.
Are the medical authorities deliberately moving elderly COVID-19 patients into hospitals to kill them with ventilators and/or other dangerous protocols.
Immunity Psyop
The preceding screenshot taken from the BBC’s front page of their Internet edition says it all. However, the accompanying BBC video says much more about this rapidly evolving psyop and can be viewed here: British Media Pushing ‘no immunity from virus recovery’ Narrative to Sell Fake Vaccine as Only Solution! (Video).
As expected, the World Health Organization is also selling the same duplicitous storyline as implied in this MSM news report: WHO Fails to Inform About 5G-COVID19 Connection, Asserts ‘No Immunity’ Even After Recovery When It’s Actually 5G Retriggering the Coronavirus.
The bottom line here is that the perps running THE GREAT SCAMDEMIC are setting up the global population to receiving a mandatory coronavirus vaccine. This treacherous and extremely harmful scheme also includes an immunity certificate that permits each recipient to “buy or sell” much like the prophesied mark of the beast.
Mark Of The Beast
Brought to you by everyone’s Big Brother:
--Bill Gates--
Because of how unpredictable and scary COVID-19 has been made out to be, it will be very easy to stampede people everywhere into the NWO pen of vaccine compliance.
There are now so many press accounts of multiple re-infections appearing across the planet, and many of them are quite likely accurate, that those who have been infected will do virtually anything to avoid a re-infection.
This is the primary strategy by which Big Pharma, World Health Organization and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will corral upwards of 7.8 billion people into the cattle cars destined for COVID-19 vaccination camps.
There has never been a more deceptive and pervasive psychological operation designed to impose a specific vaccine on all of humanity. Truly, this global psyop has been pre-planned with the utmost precision to enact a worldwide mandatory vaccine regime enforced with immunity certificates.
What we are all witnessing is the latest and most aggressive phase of the cabal’s Super-Vaccination Agenda. Microchipping every human being in this manner is surely a pivotal piece of the New World Order agenda which must be carried out if the globalists are to successfully foist Medical Martial Law on the entire planetary civilization.
Once Medical Martial Law has been established, the remaining stages of the NWO implementation plan will be fairly easy to execute. Which is why citizenries everywhere must do everything in their power to resist the current guidelines of social distancing and sheltering in place when the time arrives to terminate them.
Conclusion
While THE GREAT SCAMDEMIC is a classic Hollywood production, but with some brutal reality blended with a LOT of hoax and MSM crisis actors, it’s of paramount importance for the victimized masses on planet Earth to draw the line. For the NWO perpetrators of this epic crime wave against humanity have already been given enough rope to hang themselves many times over. If they are given much more rope, they will tie up the economy to the point of strangling it to death.
Some SCAMDEMIC commentators have even said the window of opportunity to build the gallows and grab the hanging rope is closing fast. And, that the globalists need to be rounded up and removed from the street much sooner than later for the sake of preventing an irreversible global collapse of everything. Therefore, each and every globalist associated with this crime spree against humanity must be arrested post-haste and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
As for one of the authoritative witnesses who will appear at their televised trials, what follows is compelling testimony from a courageous hospital worker who essentially overwhelms the official narrative with raw truth. See: Respiratory Therapist Exposes False COVID-19 Death Stats, Fake Bodies, Faulty Ventilator Protocols & Lack of Real Virus Testing (Video)
In point of fact, the profusion of similar testimony and hard evidence being presented throughout the world community of nation is why everyone is calling this 2020 scam of the millennium THE GREAT SCAMDEMIC.
Chapter 4
“Solomon’s House”: The Hermetic Foundations of Science/Scientism
Mystery Babylon hath been resurrected in the form of Gnosticism with its accompanied Satanic Promise of Apotheosis. We are entering The New Age of Absolute Universal Deception and Self Worship a la Techno Mystical Pseudo-Spirituality. Outer Space is the conduit for The Ancient Hermetic Metaphor for Quantum Mysticism and False Spirituality. Cosmic Consciousness is the Satanic Luciferian Lure of the Ages, repackaged as Modern Astrophysics and Astronomy.
Most people today are familiar with the quote from Arthur C. Clarke, his third self-described “law” which says: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” …
But what I find increasingly strange, is that while so many people seem to resonate with the truth of this adage, we do not at the same time seem to take it backwards to it’s inevitable conclusion, back to the implications this would seem to have about the origins of science and technology themselves.
Would most people react as favorably to a type of inverted version of this quote? Would they also agree with a preposition such as “Any primitively developed magic is indistinguishable from science?”
Anyhow, I’m waffling a bit here, but the point is that the more we continue digging into the development of modern science or rather Scientism, with its rather glaringly false foundational philosophical assumptions such as Evolution & Copernicanism, and perhaps now Atomism as well, the more it really begs the broader historical question as to how in the heck we ever got to this point.
In the Western World, many of grew up in a culture and an educational system which for the most part, has regarded the development of scientific knowledge as largely the product of some vague concept of the Judeo/Christian belief system, this generic idea that it was the Christianized nations of Europe and their colonial offshoots which, because they had the Theistic foundation which taught that a rationale Creator made the world in an orderly way, that could be studied and understood, enjoyed the intellectual climate most preferable for scientific study and development, producing such great scientific minds such as Isaac Newton, Galileo, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, etc. All those genius folks we learn about in school…
However, this worldview does not hold up well at all to any decent scrutiny of the history of scientific thinking.
Not surprisingly it seems to be the Christian culture today that is the most blind in this matter, preferring to cling to this mythology about the Christian roots of Science, because it plays such a large role in the current approach to Christian apologetics, in familiar subjects such as Creationism, where so many sciences such as geology or astronomy are turned to in hopes of vindicating the Genesis account in favor of the Darwinian paradigm.
But when we listen to secular historians expound upon things that pertain to this development, the fuller picture is really not that difficult to begin to realize, especially if you’re willing to lay down a lot of those rosy-colored, Christian-slanted views of scientific history in Europe, America and the West…
In previous pieces I have delved a fair amount into the roles of both Alchemy and the Kabbala in the development of things like chemistry and atomic theory as well as the development of Copernican astronomy and Cosmology , in tracing the Occult, Mystery School roots of what today we may refer to generically as the religion of Scientism, but there is another strand of Occultism which played a hugely significant role in the progression of Scientism, and that strand was the introduction of Hermetic philosophy into Europe towards the beginning of what we now refer to as, the Renaissance…
The figure of Hermes himself, as well as the documents which bore his name, sheds an incredible amount of light as to how ancient esoteric teachings penetrated Europe and gave rise to the periods known as the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and finally the Scientific and Industrial revolutions.
It is rather astounding to learn just how highly regarded the figure of Hermes Trismegistus to the European Renaissance mind was. He was considered by scholars from Augustine to Thomas Aquinas, to be not just a literal figure of history, but a pagan Egyptian priest, who, somehow, apparently because he was believed to be more or less a contemporary of Moses, was viewed as sort of this quasi-patriarchal figure. They really elevated him essentially to the same level as Moses or Abraham, but as this kind of extra-biblical prophet, who they argued gave credence to Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, though coming from a clearly non-Hebrew origin.
So, here we have the figure of Hermes, the quintessential magus, this pagan magician from antiquity, who somehow comes to receive this incredibly favorable treatment by European Christian theologians and scholars, alongside Europeans who are of course much more deeply attracted to the Occult elements of this tradition. And so in the 15th century, we have the Italian scholar, a Catholic Priest, Marsilio Ficino, who had been commissioned by the wealthy Medici family to translate the works of Plato, and yet when the Medici’s suddenly came into the possession of a Greek manuscript said to be the writings of the magnificent Hermes, Ficino was ordered to halt all work on Plato and translate the Hermetic text with the utmost priority.
What resulted was the work known thereafter as the Corpus Hermeticum, and this volume, along with other works such as the Asclepius, began to be spread around Europe among scholars and Renaissance thinkers, being regarded as quite harmonious with the increasingly popular Kabbalistic writings, (and rightfully so, since they are derived from the same Occult origins) and all of which quite plainly was fairly inseparable from the spread of Copernicanism in Europe.
While the Corpus Hermeticum contained a fair amount of more philosophical/ideological content, it also contained descriptions of outright occult rituals, such as how to summon astral energies down from above into stone idols and animate them, and so is quite deserving of the categorization as witchcraft.
One prominent figure within the rise of Copernicanism whose Hermetic influences have been thoroughly documented is the well-traveled figure of Giordano Bruno, who first proposed that stars are distant suns, and was killed by being burned at the stake. Frances Yates, a 20th century historian who specialized in Renaissance history, wrote an entire book on this titled “Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition”, which you can now read online for free, see the link below.
Copernicus himself referred to Hermes in this quote about the sun:
“In the middle of all sits the Sun enthroned. In this most beautiful temple could we place this luminary in any better position from which he can illuminate the whole at once? He is rightly called the Lamp, the Mind, the Ruler of the Universe; Hermes Trismegistus names him the Visible God, Sophocles’ Electra calls him the All-seeing. So, the Sun sits as upon a royal throne ruling his children the planets which circle around him.”
Isaac Newton is well known to have been an alchemist and student of Kabbalah, supposedly having endeavored to translate the Emerald Tablets of alchemy, but he too was a student of the Corpus Hermeticum. So, we have Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton, all heavily influenced by Hermeticism, and of course, Francis Bacon as well, whose writings would seem to eventually inspire the creation of the first official institution of scientific study, the Royal Society.
There has, interestingly enough, been a fair amount of research done by numerous people examining the founding members of the Royal Society and their connections to both Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism. Francis Bacon, the famous occultist who is credited with basically being the father of the scientific method, wrote the well-known utopian novel “New Atlantis”, which described the creation of an ideal college, dedicated to human discovery and knowledge, called “Solomon’s House”.
The Royal Society was in many ways the blueprint for the Science departments for universities in the centuries that followed, and I believe, this is the phase in the historical progression where the Occult roots and influences were successfully white-washed from the enterprise of Science, as it morphed into the more contemporary concepts of Natural philosophy and scientific materialism we are familiar with today.
But, Yates argued, (rather convincingly in my opinion) that without the influx of Hermetic philosophy in the 15th to 17th centuries, there would quite simply have been no Scientific Revolution. Without the magical traditions of Hermeticism, which focuses on the influences of things on each other, on their interconnectedness in nature, and on the practices of observation of these influences, and the classification of phenomena and elements of nature, there’s no such thing as science as we know it today.
One thing that has really startled me, as a Christian myself, is to get to this point where I’ve had to actually stop, and recognize that if these influences of Alchemy, Kabbalism, Hermeticism, (and also Neo-Platonism) hadn’t entered in, then we’re left with a somewhat uncomfortable question, as to whether or not the Bible on its own would have ever inspired people to the level of scientific study and technological advancement that so rapidly occurred, between the rediscovery of all these ancient Occult teachings (i.e. the “Renaissance” or revival of said Occultism) and the modern day.
Many people have equated Bacon’s “New Atlantis” to the founding of the United States of America, with its pervasive Freemasonic origins and all the esoteric symbolism of the streets of Washington DC, and so much more, and, I’d have to say that this theory probably has a lot of truth to it, but at the same time, is probably one a piece of the whole.
If the building of “Solomon’s House” was fundamental to the creation of that Luciferian utopia of the “New Atlantis”, then, I now have to think that in all probability, this massive thing that we call “Scientism” is really almost another term for that same over-arching thing. The re-introduction and re-establishment, of those ancient “sacred sciences”, or “seven liberal arts” of antiquity. In the days of the Early Christian church it was combatted as “Gnosticism”, the heresy of the Mystery School teachings which was constantly trying to embed itself within the orthodox Christian gospel, whereby the acquisition of knowledge, or “Gnosis” was central to humanity learning to save itself.
How is the current understanding of “Science” really any different?

Genesis 3
3 Now The Serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, “Where art thou?”
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, “Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?”
12 And the man said, “The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.”
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, “That is this that thou hast done?” And the woman said, “The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.”
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Seek the Key of David
Revelations 3:7-13
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the Key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the Earth .
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man takes thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Seek Ye NOT the Key of Solomon
The Key of Solomon – What is it?
Contrary to its title, the Key of Solomon has nothing to do with David's son Solomon, from the Bible. It is a book of black magic, called a grimoire, written in Latin in the 1300 or 1400s.
This book of spells and designs, translated into several languages, says that King Solomon wrote it for his son Rehoboam, but then had him hide it in Solomon's tomb when he died. Later, legend holds that a Babylonian philosopher found and cast a spell on the book after receiving instructions from an angel.
The content of The Key of Solomon varies from spells and curses, to instructions on how to find love or become invisible. It sometimes invokes the name of Jesus Christ, who was not known by name to King Solomon, dispelling any doubt that the Biblical king had anything to do with this book. The coupling of magic and Christianity was not unusual in Italy in the Middle Ages. The Key of Solomon is just one of the more well-known pieces of such literature from that time.
Author Dan Brown brought this book back into the cultural conscience in his 2009 novel The Lost Symbol. Brown often uses extra-biblical sources to create interesting narratives that brush up against Biblical stories and people in the Bible. His work is fiction.
The Bible consistently prohibits and warns against sorcery, spells, necromancy, fortune telling, divination, and other practices people use to contact the spiritual world without a relationship with Jesus Christ and a total reliance upon the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 18:10–14; 1 Samuel 15:23; 2 Kings 17:17; Jeremiah 14:14; Acts 16:16–19). The Key of Solomon holds no keys to the spirit world and was not written by Solomon. It touches on Judeo-Christian themes, but is decidedly unbiblical. It is nothing more than a historically interesting work.

The Abomination of Desolation
Mark 13:20
19 For in those days there will be tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again. 20 If the Lord had not shortened those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
Matthew 24:15
15 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.
Daniel 9:27
27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,7 and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until a decreed end is poured out on the desolator.
Google is a vehicle to realize the dream of artificial intelligence in augmenting humanity. And, if you think about it, computers can give you digital senses that you did not previously have. Google wants us to think of an augmented humanity, making us a better creature, faster, smarter, more beautiful, longer living, even Immortal if they can get the algorithm right…a fitter model: Humanity 2.0.
We're probably one of the last generations of Homo Sapiens in the future within a few decades or a couple of centuries, at most. Homo Sapiens will disappear in the upgrade of itself into a completely different kind of being. Recently, the theme of a major conference on transhumanism was the idea of a machine/human merger in a Hybrid Age. They discussed how this cybernetic merger is the most prescient, the most important thing that they could be talking about right now. They have a post human paradigm planned for our future and, as they say, “nothing will get in their way”. And so, they want to prep people about how this machine/human, “wet computer” is an inevitability. They want us to know this is happening and there is nothing we can do to stop it. This is the reality of the era that we live in there is no going back.
Life as we have known it is not going to be the same whether you believe it's the end of the Homo Sapien Age or not, whether you believe Jesus Christ is coming back or not. The Technological Singularity is coming and coming hard and fast. Transhumanism is coming and the definition of that is, essentially, the end of humanity. They say it right out of their own mouths. They literally say we are the last generation of Homo Sapiens. The extinction of the human race is upon us, and no extinction-level event is necessary…simple microchips will do. They have their own version of The Black Hole Event Horizon, where nothing escapes the irresistible grasp of death. It doesn't have to be bombs. There are many ways to extinct humanity. There are groups of Transhumanists who want to create a breakaway civilization. They say “We're done with humans. We don't want any humans anymore. We want Human 2.0. We want Homo Deus Machina…A God Machine.”
Transhumanist intend to change DNA. They’re going to put computer parts in it, manipulate it, modify it, transmute it, and make Androids of us. They're seeking immortality because they won't bow their knee to God, Christ, or any other thing than themselves for Eternal Life. They intend to sidestep God altogether and circumvent life itself. It’s the highest heights of hubris and self-conceit. They intend to create Eternal Life and become God through Artificial Intelligence and Techno Digital Magick. This is what the Holy Bible calls “The Abomination of Desolation”.
The Abomination of Desolation is the soulless entity. We've never seen this type of artificial intelligence before. It used to feign a sort of omnipresence and omniscience and all of that is Godlike. This is the first time in world history that God has found such a formidable facsimile.
Nevertheless, in opposition to this Luciferian Abomination, the underpinnings of Christianity are still firmly in place. In the classical Christian sense, God knows how this is going to work out for them that attempt to storm the metaphorical Gates of Heaven with The Abomination of Desolation. For this reason, The Lord will shorten the days of The Elect to save The Elect, The Elect being those who choose The Lord over the merging with machine intelligence.
As Mark says:
20 If the Lord had not shortened those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has shortened them.-- Mark 13:20
So while they're building their personal Hell that they won't be able to escape, those that choose God over A.I., will find themselves enveloped within the Grace and Love of The Lord. This is the Mystery of Mysteries that modern science loves to attack with its heartless and cold adherence to strictly materialistic methods and modes of observation and analysis. Contrariwise, those filled with the hubris of Eternal Life through their own Satanic inventions, shall find themselves in an inescapable false eternity, an eternity of separation for God, an eternity of simulated digital slavery where their minds are programmed by the Satanic Elite to suffer unimaginable horrors in a similar way a serial killer tortures its victims before slaying them.
Those that chose to embrace the A.I. Abomination of Desolation will find themselves enslaved within a digital dimension of foreign and alien characteristics. They are going to put themselves there by their own choice. Thinking they have achieved Eternal Life through technological means, they will be eternally cut off from God, which is the real definition of Eternal Damnation that The Bible speaks of.
The Luciferian End Game, all along, beckoning back to the Garden of Eden apple story, was the entrapment of Mankind in a false Eternal Life based upon the use of occult Luciferian knowledge. The Serpent promises: “Eat this apple and ye shall be as a God. Ye shall have Eternal Life.” That’s what it was about all along. And we are at the FRUITION of this ancient Luciferian agenda of the temptation of that apple of the knowledge of good and evil (Pun intended). Trapping and enslaving the souls of humanity in Eternal Hell was the goal of Lucifer with his promise of Apotheosis through Forbidden Secret Knowledge from the beginning. This is Lucifer’s revenge against God for being a greater being than Lucifer.
A lot of people are working on various projects for the Luciferian Elite, helping to construct their New World Order Digital Tyranny, without them knowing they are doing it. They are deceived about what and why they do what they do through an intricate process of compartmentalization and hierarchical communication methods. Everything is on a need to know basis, and the underling scientists just do what they are told to do, and any further questions are forbidden. It’s a military industrial complex structure. It worked for NAZI Germany. It works today.
Nevertheless, The Luciferians and The Satanists at the top of the pyramid of the quote-unquote, “Illuminati pyramid”, know who they're working for. They, themselves, embody demonic entities as they serve the dark energies of wrathful Satanism. However, these renown black-ops groups that we hear about in myth and legend so often don't who they're really working for.
Some people believe that The Antichrist will be a politician or some great world leader. Some believe it will be a genetically manipulated hybrid of human genetics and pure demonic evil. And either would be completely possible. But what if that politician or leader was a genetically engineered body who received a neural implant which linked into this Artificial Intelligent Godhead we fear will manifest very shortly? Such a leader, or creature, if you will, would be able to govern all the minds of the world from a central Borg neural control. The creature would become all knowledge and all power on Earth , with each human being existing as a node of information for it to do with as it pleased. It could keep all souls trapped in a Ready Player One nightmare of infinite torture and slavery for eternity.
This is the true Abomination of Desolation.

The Invisible War
The Abomination of Desolation involves an Invisible War. Ultimately, the war will be the invisible war in the soul of Mankind between The Lord and Lucifer. First of all, one basic reality that greatly affects the war for our soul is the fact that as humans our bodies and souls are interconnected.
Philip Kosloski writes:
The Catechism gives us a succinct description of this basic truth:
“The human person, created in the image of God, is a being at once corporeal and spiritual. The Biblical account expresses this reality in symbolic language when it affirms that ‘then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.’ Man, whole and entire, is therefore willed by God.”
The human body shares in the dignity of ‘the image of God’: it is a human body precisely because it is animated by a spiritual soul, and it is the whole human person that is intended to become, in the body of Christ, a temple of the Spirit.
“Here is a common scenario. A man is tempted by pornographic images. Spiritually speaking, he is tempted to commit the sin of lust. Yet, this desire to commit this sin is twofold: it has a demonic source (the devil loves to tempt us in this way) and it has a human, bodily source. Our body has a sexual drive and its natural inclination when it sees a pornographic image is to follow through with the desire and engage in the sexual act of procreation. Therefore, when combatting this temptation, one must come at it both spiritually (with prayer) and physically (by training our bodies to resist the natural desire). This is not easy and it takes a lot of effort on our part. However, it is possible to win the fight. We just have to realize that there are two dimensions to every battle.” --http://www.philipkosloski.com/be-vigilant/
Ephesians 6:12
“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.” Ephesians 6:12
A battle is raging for your soul 24/7 between the forces of good and the forces of evil.
On the battlefield of man’s soul, we have:
- God versus Lucifer (Satan)
- Love versus Hate
- The Truth versus Deception
- The Spirit versus the Carnal Lusts
The source of evil is Lucifer himself. And, he is the mastermind behind the spiritual tug of war your soul is in. The Human Will is the target of Lucifer’s wrath. The Will of Man decides the final outcome and fate of Mankind, as was established from the beginning by The Lord. It is the Human God Given Will that decides whether each individual, by their choosing, with accept the merging of soul with machine intelligence or not...between Eternal Salivation or the Eternal Damnation of The A.I. Digital Beast System. Lucifer cannot force anyone into choosing this merger. Lucifer can only influence, seduce, and tempt Man’s Will to choose unwisely.
Free Will was given unto man by The Lord. It is not subject to alteration by the will of Lucifer, nor can Lucifer change this fact in any way. The choice to accept the digital convenience and digitally based powers of the A.I. Beast system will seduce most people on Earth to welcome such power. They will even ask for it. It will mean the difference between having supreme intelligence and walking blind and ignorant amongst the other digitally enhanced and gifted masses.
But rest assured, it will all change quickly. Those same digitally augmented powers that the masses will so gleefully accept will swiftly turn to a loss of Free Will and autonomy as the A.I. beast system takes full control of the minds, hearts, and souls of those who had willfully neural-aced into the Digital Abomination.
The price for the desire for power will be the loss of soul.
Lucifer will employ the use of nano-particulate smart dust and wireless 5G technologies to place Mankind online with this digital Abomination of Desolation. The RFID Chip, so talked about, will not be necessary. Smart Dust micro-chips will cover the Earth ...in the air, water, soil, oceans, in the blood stream of mankind. It will only be the Holy Spirit and Will of mankind that will be able to resist what is to come. It is the Will of each individual soul that will possess the power to resist the Digital Beast System from WITHIN.
This Invisible War in the soul of Mankind will be the Final War of Man.
Beware the Gnostic Deception of the “Divine Spark”?
Question: "What is the divine spark?"
Answer: The idea of a divine spark, most common in Gnostic and mystical religions, is that every human being possesses either a connection with God or a "part" of God. The goal of life, then, is to allow the divine spark to influence us toward love, peace, and harmony. Upon death, the divine spark returns to God.
Is the idea of a divine spark biblical?
No, the idea of a divine spark, as held by Gnosticism and mysticism, is not biblical. But there are some Biblical truths that are somewhat similar to the idea of a divine spark. Genesis 1:26 teaches that every human being possesses the image of God. Ecclesiastes 3:11 declares that God has “set eternity in the hearts of men.” In Luke 17:21, Jesus proclaims, “The kingdom of God is within you.” The Bible teaches that every human being possesses an immaterial soul-spirit, and it is this part of us that connects with God (Hebrews 4:12).
From these verses we learn that each of us possesses a soul-spirit, is made in the image of God, and is innately aware of eternity. However, only a person who was been redeemed by Christ can truly connect with God. The indwelling kingdom of God is true only for believers in Jesus Christ. These scriptural principles do not teach a “divine spark,” as commonly defined. Whatever “divine spark” there ever was in humanity was snuffed out by sin (Romans 3:10-23). Without the truth and life of Jesus Christ (John 14:6), there is no “spark.” Without a relationship with the light of the world (John 8:12), there can be no light (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Romans 3:10–23
10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
The Sins of Babylon Revisited: The Book of Revelation 18:1-19
18:1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The Earth was illuminated with his glory.
18:2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird!
*** Fallen is Babylon (The Economic System will collapse), habitation of demons, prison of unclean spirits (Nations part of the United Nations, corruption and Money).
18:3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the Earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the Earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
*** All Nations have drunk the Wine of Wrath, all Nations of the World are part of the United Nation System, “Wall street”, the Kings of the World (All of our leaders) grew rich from the abundance luxury.
18:4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
*** The plagues are all of the things that will happen when the System collapses … No house, No food, etc !!!
18:5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
*** For her sins have reached to the sky, the paper money … interests … corruption … etc.
18:6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
*** Revelation 18:6 talks about the interests that you pay back for lending money !!!
18:7 However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
18:8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
*** In one day her plagues will come, in one day the System will collapse … death, mourning and famine !!!
18:9 The kings of the Earth , who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
18:10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
18:11 The merchants of the Earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore;
*** The Merchants of the Earth (All of the companies on the Stock Market like Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, … all of the Merchants, large and small).
18:12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
18:13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, bodies, and people’s souls.
*** All of the worlds Merchants, the whole complete system will collapse !!!
18:14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
*** All of your money, your house, cars will be gone and will not come back because of this collapse.
18:15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
18:16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
18:17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18:18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
*** This is an important sign (Double meaning), the complete crash will happen in New York where the United Nations AND Wall Street is, the smoke of her burning also points to New York (Remember the 9/11 attacks) !!!
18:19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For in one hour is she made desolate.
*** Also points to New York, dust on their heads, they cried, weeping and mourning (9/11 attacks)
18:20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.”
18:21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
18:22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
*** Revelation 18:22 talks about the COMPLETE collapse of the System, not the collapse of 2008, this talks about the COMPLETE collapse that is still to come !
18:23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the Earth ; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
18:24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the Earth .”

Babylon Revisited: “The Great Work” of Mixing Good and Evil
In the opening chapters of the great book of Genesis we’re told that the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil” existed in The Garden, alongside the Tree of Life. And we’re told that Satan convinced Eve that after eating of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil her resulting progeny would “be as gods, knowing good and evil.” But what does “knowing good and evil” mean, in terms of life on this Earth today? Well, “knowing good and evil” and the “knowledge of good and evil” represent Satan’s so-called “magnum opus” or “Great Work” of blending polar opposites (i.e., mixing God’s Word with his own word, God’s way with his own way in order to produce a “new way” that supposedly results in “Heaven on Earth .”)
This is the same Great Work that the Freemasons, who are merely Babylonian Gnostics, talk about in secret. This is also Satan’s vain substitute for the unifying work of the Holy Spirit in the life of Christians, which, through Christ’s redeeming act on the cross, brings about that eternal spiritual “marriage bond” between Father and His children. The Great Work is a counterfeit way to spiritual salvation based upon secret alchemical knowledge and one’s own arrogant efforts to become God without God. In short, it is the effort to make a God out of mortal man.
What Satan taught was that to be as the angels -- i.e., “Ye shall be as gods" – they’d have to learn how to mix good and evil…peace and adversity...cheer and calamity... pleasure and distress...bounty and emptiness…God’s doctrine and Satan’s doctrine. In short, Satan preached that a mixture of “good” and “evil” would, in the end, create a synergy or synthesis which would lead to “oneness” among mankind and the angels and God. It’s much the same again today, in the final days of this Earth age, as that Satanic Siren Call to “Oneness” goes out across the world.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
The Scripture does not say “knowing good from evil,” or “knowing the difference between good and evil.” It says, “knowing good and evil.” And to understand what that means, we have to take a deeper look at the definitions of the words used in those verses.
Euphemistically speaking, to “know good and evil” is to have lost one’s innocence. Adam and Eve lost their innocence in the garden when they allowed themselves to be seduced by the serpent into mixing together. They “coupled” with each other, so to speak, though they were warned not to even so much as “touch” the fruit of the tree of good and evil.
And the fruits from that Original Sin of knowing Good AND Evil are seen even today in the merging and mixing of diverse and completely incompatible cultures. Diverse and completely incompatible political doctrines are being merged. Diverse and completely incompatible religions are being merged. Even men and women are being “merged” through the abominable practice of transgenderism, also known as androgyny. And through scientific techniques like genetic manipulation, even fruits, vegetables, and animals are being mixed and merged.
And so, Satan’s so-called “magnum opus” or “great alchemical work” is the blending of opposites (i.e., mixing God’s Word with his own word, God’s way with his own way in order to produce a “new way” or synthesis that supposedly results in “Heaven on Earth .”) Through the blending of opposites on all fronts, Secret Societies, and most conspicuously, Freemasonry, seeks to plunge the world into war and chaos from the disintegration of opposites in the vacuum of a relativistic Cosmic Pantheism.
Their ultimate goal is the mystical Singularity or “Omega Point” of all things as the Universe, including all Space-Time, implodes into a metaphysical black hole of polar synthesis and Nihilistic negation. In this relativistic vacuum, all distinctions dissolve into chaotic meaninglessness, with nothing differentiated from anything else, and with no distinctions between good or evil. From this chaos, they hope to erect their New World Order based upon purely Luciferian principles of Babylonian Hermeticism, human sacrifice, sexual perversion, and the tyrannical rule over all others from their bastions of Technocratic digital control.
Welcome to The New Age.

Mystery Babylon The Great Mother of Harlots
17:1And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
17:2With whom the kings of the Earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the Earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
17:3So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
17:5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH .
17:6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
17:9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
17:10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.
17:11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.
17:12And the ten horns which thou saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
17:15And he said unto me, the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
17:18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the Earth . — Revelation 17:1–18
Christian Biblical exegesis has historically associated the “Whore of Babylon” with the Antichrist of Revelation. The term “whore” has less to do with any sexual transgression and more on the act of idolatry — specifically, “whoring” the church to serve the political interests of rulers. Not surprisingly, much speculation swirled around who this “whore” signified. Biblical scholars have mostly interpreted Babylon to be the Roman Empire of the time which was engaged (until 313 CE) in sporadic persecution of Christians throughout sectors of the empire. An interpretative clue is found in verse 9, where the “whore” sits on “seven mountains,” a possible reference to the seven hills of Rome, where she rules over the kings of the Earth (Rev. 17:18).
During the Medieval Age, reformers and critics within the Catholic Church (some who eventually were elevated to sainthood) equated the papacy with the Whore of Babylon, specifically for its internal corruption, practice of simony, and most importantly, its political maneuvering to enhance its Earth ly powers and dominions. Leaders of the Protestant movement (i.e., Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Knox, Wesley), strengthened this association by generalizing the entire Church as corrupt, rather than a more complex analysis that would criticize specific periods and/or popes. The pope as Antichrist, leading the Catholic Church as whore into apostasy, was not only a mainstream interpretation during the rise of Protestantism, but has remained a popular interpretation, especially among many fundamentalists, dispensationalists and right-leaning evangelicals today.

It is easy to implicate The Catholic Church as the primary instigator of The Gnostic New Age of Luciferianism because of her Pagan Babylonian practices and rituals. Additionally, many people researching The Catholic Church refer to it as the Whore of Babylon because The Catholic Church worships the Gnostic Goddess Ideology of Mary as The Mother of God rather than emphasizing Christ and the Plan for Salvation through Faith in Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. All things based in Goddess worship amount to a repackaging of this Satanic Goddess worship, including the exaltation of Mary, or Semiramis, or Astarte as “The Queen of Heaven”, the Gnostic Sophia, Aphrodite, Pagan Venus, Gaia as Mother Earth , Feminist Goddess worshiping Wicca, Ashtoreth, Ishtar, Kali, Madonna, Diana, Lucifer, etc...
The goal of Goddess worship is a Satanic Gnostic Agenda to bring in the New Age of Aquarius, where Luciferian Doctrines and Satanic Babylonian Paganism re-emerge to the forefront of all religions. This is a form of Knights Templar Gnostic Dominion Theology which seeks to be an all-inclusive New World Religion based upon Self-Salvation, Self-Worship, and Apotheosis (Man becoming God), all components of Gnostic Luciferianism. The Catholic Church is spearheading this Babylon Revisited, Luciferian New Age Religion with its rhetoric of tolerance for and integration with all religions, Pagan and Christian, unifying all under the banner of a Pantheistic, Astro-Theology concealed a Christianity, which effectively trashes the exclusive message of Christ and the Bible, in general.
Some Background on Mystery Babylon Mother of All Harlots
Satan's church had its beginning at Babylon with the construction of the Tower of Babel on the plain of Shinar by the River Euphrates many generations after the deluge. At the time of the construction of Babylon at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-4), mankind had multiplied and spoken one language. Cush who was the son of Ham and grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:1, 6), helped to plan with his son Nimrod, a blueprint by which to rule the world of humanity through a wicked counterfeit religion. Nimrod was the originator of sun worship and founder of Babylon. A Bible translation called the Targum says, “Nimrod became a mighty man of sin, a murderer of innocent men, and a rebel before the Lord.”
The beginning of Nimrod's evil plan had its origin at Babel which was later known as Babylon. This city of Babylon with a tower “whose top may reach unto heaven” was built by Nimrod (Genesis 10:8-10; 11:4). Tower of Babel The called the tower “Babel, the gate to heaven,” but God called it what it was which was, “Babel, confusion,” for their God confused the language of the people which forced them to scatter. This heaven defying group of people wanted one government to rule the world and one religion to sway the hearts of mankind. This was Satan's attempt to defy God and His authority and the ringleader of his scheme was Nimrod. But God came down and stopped this worldwide rebellion at Babel, in defiance of His command for mankind to replenish the Earth (Genesis 9:1) by confusing their language into many languages so they could not understand one another's speech. Mankind discontinued the building of Babel and were scattered to different parts of the world (Genesis 11:8-9).
Nimrod had a plan to weld together and strengthen this evil religious system and so he married his own mother who was Semiramis. She was the first deified queen of Babylon and Nimrod was the first deified king. Semiramis was as wicked as her son Nimrod, and as much sold out to Satan and devil worship as did he. Incest was used here as a basis to unite this newly false religious system. Nimrod and his mother/wife would be greatly used by Satan in the following centuries to send countless millions and even billions of souls to hell.
A Counterfeit Opposition System of Religion
Satan's plan was to develop a counterfeit, opposition system of religion to attract worship away from the true God of Heaven. This false system had its sacrificial plan just as God had a plan of sacrifice. But Satan's pagan worship required the offering up of human beings, which was often the sons and daughters of the worshipers. A counterfeit holy day was instituted in honor of the sun god, (Sun-day) and this was designed by Satan to rob God of his peculiar authority as the Creator of the universe as designated by His Holy day the Sabbath.
Have you noticed how occult symbols are typically reversed? Example: The occult symbol for a cross is an inverted cross. Most have never noticed that God uses the 6:1 principle. That is, you have 6 of something normal and then on the 7th something special happens. Example: God created the world in 6 days and the 7th is a special day of rest and worship. Crops were grown for 6 years and the 7th year the land was rested. Slaves were kept for 6 years and were to be set free on the 7th year. There are 6 weeks from Passover to the 7th week being Pentecost. There are 6 months from Passover to the 7th month being the Day of Atonement. Bible chronologists say we are currently approaching the end of 6000 years since creation and if Christ returns at the end of 6000 years, we will then have the 7000th year being the 1000-year millennial reign. (See Revelation 20:1-15) So 6000 years + 1000 years (millennium) = 7000 years. None of this is by chance and is God's plan.
Nimrod's and Semiramis' followers plunged so deeply into sin and the occult that they even sacrificed babies to Satan in their worship of him. This became a common practice until Shem who was one of Noah's three sons and the great uncle of Nimrod, in his anger and wrath killed Nimrod and cut him up into small pieces as an example to others not to commit such abominable sins and not to follow such evil religious practices. (Shem was a godly man and it was through his seed the Messiah would come.)
Alexander Hislop in his book The Two Babylons said, , “the Tower of Babel was actually the worship of Satan in the form of fire, the sun and the serpent. However, Satan worship could not be done openly because of the many who still believed in the true God of Noah. So a mystery religion began at Babel where Satan could be worshipped in secret.” – Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons, 2nd American ed. (Neptune, New Jersey: Loizeaux Brothers, 1959)
Because of Nimrod's death, the followers of Nimrod and Semiramis were stunned and experienced much grief. Their religious hero was dead. They were afraid to continue in their worship of Satan for fear that what happened to Nimrod would also happen to them, so a mystery religion developed at Babel where Satan could be worshipped in secret. This is exactly what is happening in these last days. Satan is using mysteries and deceptions to deceive people into thinking that they are worshipping God when they are actually worshipping Satan.
For a short time the practices of this counterfeit religion ceased but Semiramis, the wife of Nimrod, had a brilliant idea of how she could successfully revive her and Nimrod's pagan religion and give it a new form. It was not long after the death of her husband that Semiramis became pregnant. She said that when Nimrod died that he went up to the sun, and the sun then became a symbol of Nimrod. She told the people that a ray of the sun had come to her and impregnated her with a child and that it was actually Nimrod coming back in a reincarnation of the sun god. The child was called Tammuz and these three were worshipped as the personification of the sun god, and this is where we find the three in one trinity doctrine originated and is where the first three came into existence. This mystery religion was nothing more than Satan worship. Read the pagan origins of the trinity doctrine for more.
“The trinity got its start in Ancient Babylon with Nimrod - Tammuz - and Semiramis. Semiramis demanded worship for both her husband and her son as well as herself. She claimed that her son, was both the father and the son. Yes, he was “god the father” and “god the son” - The first divine incomprehensible trinity.” – The Two Babylons; Alexander Hislop, p.51
So Semiramis proclaimed that her husband Nimrod was a god, and she as the wife of Nimrod was a goddess. She then announced herself to be “The Queen of Heaven” and that she should be worshiped as such. She claimed that her spirit was the moon and when she died she would dwell in the moon, even as Nimrod was already in the sun. What a devilish brainstorm inspired by Satan!
Satan was laying the foundation for every system of falsehood and error the world has ever known. They took the truth of God and turned it into a lie and “worshipped and served the creature (on a wider application also includes Satan) more than the Creator.” Romans 1:25. This system of paganism, while professing to be the true religion, is actually devil worship. It professes and claims to be the truth of God but in reality it is Satan's masterpiece, the “mystery of iniquity.”
As Satan's church gained momentum, Semiramis pushed this satanic religious order underground. The followers of this counterfeit religion had to take secret oaths. The secret societies (some unscriptural lodges of today) thus had their beginning. The confessionals and priesthood were set up. The followers of this pagan religion confessed their sins to their priests. (what church continued this unbiblical pagan tradition?) See also 1 Timothy 2:5, Luke 5:20-21. By so doing, Semiramis could control her followers and exercise lordship over them. She boldly and brazenly proclaimed that she and her priests were the only ones who understood the mysteries of God and that they were the only possible way to God. Because of dedication to and fear of this false religious system, the followers of this religion fearfully complied.
Semiramis and her priests of Satan were deep into the occult, magic and illusion. They were masters of lies and deception. Everywhere there were statues or idols of this mother/child cult. Semiramis was soon hailed as “The Queen of Heaven” (Ashtarte). Her symbol became the moon and her husband Nimrod, was called “Baal” (the “sun god”) and his symbol became the sun. The city of Babylon was the seat of Satan worship until its fall to the Medes and the Persians in 539 BC. At this time the Babylonian pagan priests left Babylon and went to Alexandria and Pergamos. See who is the beast that has the number 666 or the origin of 666 for more.
It should be noted that the majority of the Babylonian pagan priests went to Pergamos more so than Alexandria, so for many centuries after the fall of Babylon, Pergamos became the new seat of Satan (Revelation 2:12-13), but around 129 BC, opportunity arose for them to leave Pergamos and go to Rome and thus Rome became the final seat of Satan where he set up his church, and hence sun worship, which was practiced on Sunday, was most prevalent in Alexandria and Rome by the time of Christ.
Church historian Socrates Scholasticus (5th century) wrote: “For although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries [of the Lord's Supper] on the Sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this.” – Socrates Scholasticus, Ecclesiastical History, Book 5, Ch. 22.
So Baal worship was in full swing. It caught on fast and spread to many parts of the world. In Egypt, Semiramis became known as “Isis”, “The Queen of Heaven.” Nimrod became known as “Osiris”, the husband/son, and frequently called “Horus” (the sun god). In Phoenicia, Semiramis and Nimrod were worshipped as or known as Ashterath and Tammuz; in Greece, Aphrodite and Eros; in Rome, Venus and Cupid, and in China, Mother Shing Moo and her child.
Sun Worship Including Copernican Heliocentrism
When the cold season began every year, they believed their sun god was leaving them. It was on December 25th that they noticed the gradual return of the sun god. So, they called this day the birth of the sun. Tammuz was hailed as the son of the sun. He was idolized and even worshipped, and the first letter of his name became the symbol of sun worship. Human sacrifices to the sun god were offered on this initial letter made of wood, known as the cross “T” and this “T” for Tammuz is also the true origin of Catholics crossing themselves. His birthday of December 25 was honored more and more. Satan worked many years before the conception and birth of the true Messiah to counterfeit through sun worship His miraculous conception and birth. Satan succeeded many times in leading God's people into sin and pagan sun worship.
And The Catholic Vatican Jesuits, once again repackaged ancient Babylonian Sun Worship with the help of Jesuit Agent, Copernicus in the 15th century, to create the Copernican Heliocentric Lie that, even today, is taught as fact in schools
The true date of the birth of Christ is most likely between July and September but since the exact date of Christ's birthday was unknown, it was suggested, “Why not call it the same date as the birth of Tammuz, which was December 25?” This was the time when the sun had reached its lowest point on the horizon and started back up into the heavens and so the sun god had come to life, so to speak. So gradually December 25 came to be known as the birthday of Christ. The Papal Church finally instituted a special mass on that day, “Christ's Mass,” and so December 25 became “Christmas.” The yule log burning in the fire followed by the green tree lit with candles all came from the pagan worship representing Nimrod being dead, while his spirit still lived on in the sun and was alive again in Tammuz his son.
Jesus was crucified and resurrected in the spring of the year near the time of the moon festival. The devil was at work once again to bring the idea of having a celebration at the same time as the heathen but calling it “in honor of the resurrection.” And in regard to the worship of the moon goddess Semiramis, the so called queen of heaven. The cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN were round and on them was cut a cross in honor of the sun god, and they were offered to the queen of heaven and today we call them “hot cross buns.” (Read Jeremiah 7:16-18). The forty days of “weeping for Tammuz” became Lent and at the close of Lent came Easter Sunday. The prophet Ezekiel was shown even greater abominations. (Read Ezekiel 8:12-18). This goddess Ishtar (Easter) came to be known as the goddess of springtime as in “new life,” or as history records it, the “goddess of reproduction.” The pagans would go to some mountain side early Sunday morning and worship this goddess as the sun was rising in the east. They gave themselves to immorality and indecency of every description. The eggs and rabbits were used as symbols of fertility and germination and hence “new life.” It all came into the Church gradually and was all blessed by the Catholic Church and given to the world. And some people wonder why God calls the Catholic Church Babylon!
“The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.” — An Essay on The Development of the Christian Doctrine John Henry “Cardinal Newman” p.373.
“It has often been charged that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation and even to make it her boast… the great god Pan is not really dead, he is baptized” — The Story of Catholicism p 37.
As time elapsed, stories spread worldwide about Semiramis and Nimrod as Baal worship was everywhere. (The above information on the beginning of Satan's church and its unscriptural practices is found in The Two Babylons, by Rev. Alexander Hislop) In his book he has composed a list of names adopted in other parts of the world that can be traced back to Semiramis and Nimrod in one way or another. The list of names are as follows:
SEMIRAMIS or Ashtarte NIMROD or Baal The Sun God
Cybele (Goddess Mother) Asia Deoius (Asia)
Fortuna (Pagan Rome) The Boy Jupiter (Pagan Rome)
Isis (The Queen of Heaven) Egypt Osiris or Horus (Egypt)
Isi (Goddess Mother) India Iswara (India)
Venus (Rome) Cupid (Rome)
Ashterath (Phoenicia) Tammuz (Phoenicia)
Aphrodite (Greece) Eros (Greece)
Irene (Goddess of Peace) Greece The Boy Plutus (Greece)
Ishtar (Babylon) The Winged One (Babylon)
Rhea (Mother of Gods) Orion (Constellation)
Diana (Ephesian) Bacchus of Ancient Greece
Shing Moo (Holy Mother of China) The Centaur (Greece)
Satan pulled it off well as he had the whole world trapped into some form of Baal worship. The entire world had lapsed into polytheism (worship of many gods or idols). Mankind no longer desired to serve the true and living God and to accept His scriptural plan of salvation. (Romans 1:18-32).
Around 2000 BC in Abraham's day, Baal worship and its pagan rites had so permeated the human race that God called Abraham out from it to be the progenitor of a nation of people (the Israelites or Jews) who would be instructed by God through Moses and the prophets to be a shining light and an example of godliness to the heathen nations and reveal to them God's scriptural plan of salvation (Genesis 11:26-12: 1-5; Exodus 19:5-6; Hebrews 11:8).
The Jews were greatly blessed by God as His chosen people, who were to serve as His representatives of godliness to those heathen nations who had become entrapped by paganism, to evangelize those godless nations and to show them God's love. The Jews were repeatedly told that if they were to sin by serving other gods, to depart from the Lord and fail God in their mission as His representatives to those nations trapped in Baal worship, the Jews would suffer terribly at the hand of God and be dispersed into all the nations of the Earth . (See Deuteronomy 4:1-40; 6:14-18; 7:6-26; 8:6-20; 10:12-20; 11:1-28; 12:28-32; 29:16-29; 30:11-20).
Before his death, Moses foretold that after his death the Jews would disobey and turn to other “gods” to worship and serve them (Deuteronomy 31:27, 29; 32:16-29). After Moses' death, Joshua took command and led the children of Israel across the River Jordan into Palestine. The Jews were ordered to exterminate the Canaanites of the land because they were so wicked and so deeply involved in the evil practices of Baal worship, and to take the land as their dwelling to be used for the glory of God in leading the ungodly nations to God and His plan of redemption. The Jews took the land and exterminated some of the inhabitants of the land but not all. The Jews here had already begun to disobey God. They soon became weary in their conquests of Palestine and stopped fighting. Soon afterwards the Israelites departed from their worship of the Lord and started to worship and serve other gods as Moses had predicted. The Jews soon became so involved in Baal worship and its pagan practices that some of them even sacrificed their children to Satan.
Because of their disobedience to God's command to be faithful in their worship of and service to the true and living God, the Jews would have to suffer. On many occasions God allowed the children of Israel to be captured by their enemies and to be persecuted. When the Jews cried out to God in sorrow for their sins, the Lord delivered them. The Lord raised up Judges to secure their deliverances. After each time the Lord brought about the deliverance of the captured, suffering children of Israel, the Jews would plunge back into sin and Baal worship. As time passed the Jews became even more involved in pagan worship in spite of God's warnings and chastisements. God raised up prophets to warn the Israelites to repent or suffer more. Prophet after prophet was raised up for that purpose and many of them were executed by the Jews. In 722 BC the ten Northern tribes were captured by the Assyrians and scattered never to return, and in 586 BC the Babylonians captured Judah and Jerusalem. This was the third time Babylon came up against them but this time brought about their total destruction as everything was torn down. After the Babylonian captivity in 539 BC at which time Babylon had fallen to the Persians, the Persians granted the Jews in Babylon permission to return to Jerusalem.
Many Jews did return to Palestine during the years 539 BC, 457 BC and 445 BC. Others doubtless returned between those years and after 445 BC. Read also Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy. In 70 AD the Romans under General Titus captured Jerusalem and persecuted the Jews. The Jews final dispersion took place at this time. After 70 AD, the Jews had been dispersed into all the nations of the world to suffer. Nearly all nations who had received Jews eventually turned on them and persecuted them. The Jews have been the most hated and persecuted people in history and have suffered more than any other people. They disobeyed God and they had to suffer as God said they would.
When the Roman Empire was in power during the Earth ly life of Jesus and during the early Church period, the Roman Caesars were to be worshipped as gods. The early Christians were persecuted by the Romans because they would not bow down to the pagan Caesars. Satan directed this persecution of the early believers in an effort to stamp out Christianity. But instead of wiping out Christianity, persecution resulted in its growth! As more Christians were put to death, more and more Christians rose up to replace them. Satan saw that his directed persecution of the early believers would not obliterate Christianity, so he moved to attack the Church from within instead of from without.
Satan devised a plan by which he would lay the foundation for and establish his own counterfeit church. Under Satan's direction paganism would get a new face. Satan would introduce to the world his own version of a “Christian Church.” As was indicated earlier, the Caesars were worshipped as gods. As the Roman Empire was near disintegration, the pagan Caesars did not want to lose their power in controlling the world, so they decided on a plan by which to keep their power and influence in the world. The Roman Caesars simply exchanged their Roman togas for religious costumes. Thus they could control the world's governments and their economies through religion.
After Constantine defeated Maxentius in 312 AD in a battle for the throne of Rome, Satan continued in his clever plan to build his own version of a “Christian Church.” After his ascension to the Roman Throne, Constantine issued his Edict of Toleration in 313 AD to stop the persecution of the true believers in Christ. Under Constantine the Christian Church for a time found relief from persecution. Satan had now temporarily stopped his persecution of the Christian Church from without, but he would now proceed to attack the Church from within.
Under Satan's direction, Constantine set up the “Council of Nicaea” and presided as “Summus Pontifex”, the official title of a Pope. Constantine's job was to mix paganism with a perverted form of Christianity to make his new religious organization look respectable. This mixture of paganism with some of the teaching of Christ was Satan's version of a “Christian Church.” This powerful religious institution would be later used by Satan to send millions of souls to hell and to cause the deaths of many Bible believing Christians. Roman Catholic pagan statue said to be Mary and Jesus but was Semiramis and son Nimrod.
Many changes took place in this Babylonian pagan church. Under Constantine, the pagans were permitted to bring their statues and idols of Semiramis, “The Queen of Heaven”, and Nimrod, “Baal”, “The Sun God', into the Church. The names were changed to the Virgin Mary, “Queen of Heaven” and little Jesus, “The Sun God.” For example: Is this Catholic image Mary and baby Jesus or is it Semiramis, “The Queen of Heaven” and son Nimrod/Tammuz? Note the pagan trident symbol from the head of what is supposedly baby Jesus and that the hand is displayed with two fingers and a thumb prominent, being another way of symbolizing the trident and is a Satanic hand sign symbolic of occult powers. This is also used by high Church officials and priests in blessings invoking the sign of the cross by motioning their right hand with two fingers and thumb casually extended. It is also found in freemasonry of which origins can be found in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church erroneously say that Peter was the first so called Pope of this Papal system but in fact it was really Constantine. So under Constantine as its first Pope, the Roman Catholic Institution as we know it today had its beginning. See also paganism in the Catholic Church and Catholic Church error and was Peter the first Pope.
The Roman Catholic Church grew in power as the people in Rome were again under the priests and each succeeding Pope. Constantine had fifty Bibles made of perverted manuscripts composed by pagan worshippers of Baal from Alexandria. Alexandria was not only the seat of Baal worship but was also the headquarters of the most liberal philosophers. Those wicked philosophers produced their own perverted version of a Bible, and fifty such copies were made for Constantine to be given to the new “Church” over which he presided. The Latin Vulgate, authored by Jerome and based on the above fifty Bibles, later became the Roman Catholic Bible, which was kept from the people so that unscriptural traditions would have greater emphasis in the minds of the followers of the Pope.
The above information can be found in the books, The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop and the Angel of Light by Jack Chick. Alexander Hislop in his book also traces Roman Catholic sacraments, ceremonies, doctrines, confessionals, priesthood, etc. back to ancient Babylonian Baal worship. Roman Catholicism is based on ancient Babylonian Baal worship and on the manmade traditions of the Church fathers. Catholicism is not based on the teachings of God's Word or on the Scriptural plan of salvation. So we find Satan had a long term plan for his church and sun worship, which was practiced on Sunday, and was initially most prevalent in Alexandria and Rome. From this pagan sun worship came both the trinity doctrine and Sunday worship.

Ten Strategies to Attack Christianity
by Alice a Bailey (Mason)
Alice Bailey said when you are changing a nation, don't bother with the old people, they are too stuck in the old traditions, they will not change, but GO FOR THE CHILDREN and that is what she did. She said, 'go for the children especially 10 years and below', since 1945 i.e. any person below 60 years can be a victim of the ideas and the deceptions of this prophetess of the New Age. She came out with a 10 POINT CHARTER that is placed in the House of Lords - House of Commons in the U.K. ; Today our governments and parliaments are implementing these.
1.) The Strategy: The 10 point charter
2.) The Purpose: To change Christian tradition or to redeem the nations of Christian tradition.
1.TAKE GOD AND PRAYER OUT OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM
She said; Change curriculum to ensure that children are freed from the bondage of Christian culture. Why? Because children go to school to be equipped to face life, they are willing to trust and they are willing to value what is being given to them.
If you take God out of education, they will unconsciously form a resolve that God is not necessary to face life. They will focus on those things the school counts them worthy to be passed on and they will look at God as an additional, if one can afford the additional
2.REDUCE PARENTAL AUTHORITY OVER THE CHILDREN
She said; Break the communication between parent and child (Why?). So that parents do not pass on their Christian traditions to their children, liberate children from the bondage of their parent traditions (how?)
a)Promote excessive child rights
b)Abolish corporal punishment
c)Teachers are the agents of implementation - from workshops, teachers tell children 'your parent has no right to force you to pray or read the Bible, you are yourself, have a right of your own, you need to discover yourself, self-expression, self-realization, self-fulfillment are all buzz words
3.DESTROY THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN FAMILY STRUCTURE OR THE TRADITIONAL CHRISTIAN FAMILY STRUCTURE (WHY?).
It is oppressive and that the family is the core of the nation. If you break the family, you break the nation. Liberate the people from the confines of this structure (How?)
a)Promote sexual promiscuity - free young people to the concept of premarital sex, let them have free sex, lift it so high that the joy of enjoying it(sex) is the highest joy in life, fantasize it, that everybody will feel proud to be seen to be sexually active, even those outside of marriage
b)Use advertising industry, media - T.V., magazines, film industry to promote sexual enjoyment as the highest pleasure in humanity
4.IF SEX IS FREE, THEN MAKE ABORTION LEGAL AND MAKE IT EASY.
She said; Build clinics for abortion - Health clinics in schools. If people are going to enjoy the joy of sexual relationships, they need to be free of unnecessary fears, in other words they should not be hampered with unwanted pregnancies.
5.MAKE DIVORCE EASY AND LEGAL, FREE PEOPLE FROM THE CONCEPT OF MARRIAGE FOR LIFE.
People enter into marriage having signed contracts of how they will share their things after divorce. People enter with one foot and another behind. 50 years ago divorce was unthinkable. It is one thing for a marriage to fail but it is another thing for people to enter marriage with an intention to enjoy as long as it was enjoyable and to walk out of it.
6. MAKE HOMOSEXUALITY AN ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE
Alice Bailey preached (50 yrs. ago) that sexual enjoyment is the highest pleasure in humanity, no one must be denied and no one must be restricted how to enjoy themselves. People should be allowed in whichever way they chose they want, whether it is homosexuality or in incest or bestiality, as long as the two agree.
7. DEBASE ART, MAKE IT RUN MAD
How? Promote new forms of art which will corrupt and defile the imagination of people because art is the language of the spirit, that which is inside, you can bring out in painting, music, drama etc. Look at the quality of the music that is coming out, the films out of Hollywood.
8. USE MEDIA TO PROMOTE AND CHANGE MINDSET
Alice Bailey said the greatest channel you need to use to change human attitude is media. Use the press, the radio, T.V, cinema. You can tell today how successful they have been in implementing the plan over 50 years via media as well as advertising agencies, billboards, magazines. Who controls media? (New Age); So much money is pumped into media and advertising spreading of pornographic material and other sources. Sex outside of marriage is thrown on your face 80-90 times than sex in marriage. Promiscuity is being promoted as natural; you watch gay sex on T.V. in homes where children's minds are being neutralized to sensitivity to these things. You wonder why newspapers, T.V, etc do not record anything about Christian activities.
9. CREATE AN INTERFAITH MOVEMENT
Alice Bailey wrote; Promote other faiths to be at par with Christianity and break this thing about Christianity as being the only way to heaven, by that Christianity will be pulled down and other faiths promoted. She said promote the importance of man in determining his own future and destiny - HUMANISM. She said tell man he has the right to choose what he wants to be and he can make it happen, he has the right to determine his cause - This takes God off His throne. We have seen in our nation, South Africa hosting a meeting of the Interfaith Movement in Cape Town led by Dalai Lama.
10. GET GOVERNMENTS TO MAKE ALL THESE LAW AND GET THE CHURCH TO ENDORSE THESE CHANGES.
Alice Bailey wrote that the church must change its doctrine and accommodate the people by accepting these things and put them into its structures and systems.
Have they succeeded?
Today you wonder why our governments are legislating laws contrary to the Bible and why the church is compromising the Word of God.
In 1880 Alice Bailey was born, the leadership to further Lucifer's plans (via Theosophy) was transferred to her. She became the president of the Theosophical Society. She is probably the most important in laying the foundation of the New Age Movement. One day she had a visitation of a spirit, that she thought was Christ at first but the spirit introduced himself as Djwal Khuhl - spirit from Tibetan. Master of Tibetan offered her great success if she could yield herself to be used to cheat the nations of the world and she made a deliberate decision to offer her life in service to Satan. She has so many writings on every sector of life. By the time she had finished her work in 1949 she had written 24 books, a total of 10,469 pages, most of which were allegedly written through her spirit guide, The Tibetan. She had also established Lucis Trust Goodwill (to which is linked the leadership of the World Constitution and Parliament Association) under the name Lucifer Publishing Company which today boasts of a membership of more than 6000 people = Some of the world's most renowned financial and political leaders have belonged to this organization including individuals such as Robert McNamara, Donald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Paul Volker, George Schultz. This is the same group of people that runs the Council on Foreign Relations - the organization responsible for founding the United Nations. It is interesting to note that Lucis Trust has its headquarters at UN Plaza until recently.”

Causes of Social and Spiritual Disintegration
American Elites:
America’s legal and education elites have replaced the Western Christian tradition with a Satanic Humanistic system that holds:
1) There is no transcendent, personal God.
2) Both the world and man result from evolutionary forces, which continue to direct them.
3) Societal institutions such as family and civil law have no theistic origins.
4) Theistically ordained absolute standards do not exist for the guidance of either individuals or institutions.
5) The Bible is false and useless as a source of guidance for man in his attempt to progress.
6) Man’s self-effort is the primary, if not sole, tool available to him in his attempt to progress.

Economic Babylon Of Revelation 18 May Be America
Our society is deteriorating, and Bible-believing Christians are ill-prepared to face that deterioration.
The moral bankruptcy of our society is well-documented.
Few people understand why we have become morally bankrupt. However, when we look at society through the eyes of God, through the Bible, we can easily see why we are facing the unprecedented troubles today. This study of America through the eyes of God is what we will always do try to here; stay with us for some eye-opening truths.
America has rejected our original foundation of Judeo-Christian values and has replaced them with Satanic values. This single act has resulted in many other problems with which we are now struggling: Divorce and the breakup of the traditional family, drugs, alcohol, crime of every type, the acceptance of homosexuality, and many others. For this dramatic denial of our original Christian values, America richly deserves God's physical judgment.
America is leading the world into the New World Order, which is the Biblical Great Tribulation. As we know, the Bible calls the Great Tribulation the greatest time of God's judgment upon the entire world that mankind has ever seen, coupled with the most murderous campaign of extinction ever carried out by any leader anytime or anywhere. Of course, this leader is the Anti-Christ, the one whom the New Agers call Maitreya.
If we are truly at the end of the Age as we believe we are, we know we are headed for massive judgment from God. And finally, we know that the New World Order plans to reorganize the world into 10 Super-Nation states immediately after officially establishing the United Nations as the One-World Government. This act will be the literal fulfillment of the prophecy of 10-toes (Daniel 2:28-48) and the 10-kings prophecy (Daniel 7:1-28). God foretells in these prophecies that three of these 10 nations will immediately be destroyed after the world is reorganized. This destruction is so complete, it sounds like war, which is consistent with God's revelations concerning the events of the Great Tribulation.
According to the New World Order reorganization plan, America will be part of the North American Super-Nation, along with Canada and Mexico. Will America be one of these three super-nations which are destroyed? America may be the Economic Babylon of Revelation 18. This prophecy fits this country exactly, so precisely that it could refer to no other nation on the Earth today.
Revelation 18 describes destruction by fire--God's fire--of "Babylon the Great", an evil system that has greatly stirred God's wrath.
We need to compare the "Babylon" of Chapter 17 and the Babylon of Chapter 18. These two Babylons are not the same for following reasons:
And after these things...' (18:1). The events described here will not take place until after the events of Chapter 17 have been fulfilled.
Names in the two chapters are different. The `Babylon' in Chapter 17:5, is named `Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots.' We know this Babylon is religious by the words `Mystery' and `Mother of Harlots'. But, the term in Chapter 18:2 is merely `Babylon the Great'. The Babylon in Chapter 18 is a commercial Babylon.
Babylon, the harlot of Chapter 17, will be destroyed by the kings (rulers) of the Earth . The Babylon of Chapter 18 will be destroyed by God's cataclysmic judgments.
The Babylon of Chapter 17 will be destroyed by the kings of the Earth , who rejoice in her destruction. But, in Chapter 18, the kings and the merchants of the Earth lament and weep for the destroyed Babylon. (18:15-19) 2
Finally, common sense tells us that, once something is destroyed, it is gone. For the Babylons of Chapter 17 and 18 to be the same, the system would have to be destroyed twice. This makes no sense whatever.
Now let us begin our study, verse by verse.
The Heavenly Angel Who Delivers God's Judgment Possesses Great (Special) Power or Authority.
(18:1) "And AFTER these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having GREAT power; and the Earth was filled with his glory." God has evidently given a special power, to this angel--hence, the words "having great power".
This Nation Babylon Has Become Inhabited by Satan And His Demons
(18:2) "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, `Babylon the great is fallen, and is become the (resort) of (demons), and the (dwelling place) of every foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird.'"
This Babylon has become thoroughly inhabited by Satan and his demons. Remember our earlier discussions of such disgusting, vile American sins, the very nature of which are filled with demons and their activity? These sins have become so pervasive that God is finally moved to physical judgment.
This Nation Is the Central Nation in The World.
(18:3) "For all nations have drunk of the wine and the wrath of her (passionate unchastity), and the (leaders) of the Earth have committed fornication with her, and the (businessmen) of the Earth (have become) rich through the abundance (excessive luxury) of her delicacies."
This is another powerful, overflowing statement. This city/country is THE CENTRAL nation in the world at this time.
Businessmen of other nations have become excessively, wantonly, filthy rich in their trade with Babylon.
Babylon must be THE richest nation on Earth .
Babylon must possess an abundance of cash and must be so willing to spend it, that this process enriches the leaders and the businessmen of the world.
Babylon must be a consumer country without equal, repeatedly buying, using, discarding, and buying again.
Many Babylonian citizens must also buy merchandise which they do not need. automobiles, T.V. sets, VCR's, homes, furs, expensive clothing, toys, and yachts.
Consider LEADERSHIP. Babylon is clearly the world leader in two areas symbolically mentioned. (1) Wine--values, ideas, culture. (2) `Delicacies' are commercial. The world has reached this point--with America.
The New Age editor of "USA Today" describes this trend:
Global communications, universal trends, and common aspirations are making us more alike than we are different. We gradually are becoming one world.
More and more people are:
1) Eating the same foods.
2) Reading the same books.
3) Watching the same movies.
4) Listening to the same music.
5) Enjoying the same sports.
6) Sharing the same dreams and drives.
7) We share technology...
8) We share high-speed transportation...
"Much of the common ground comes from the GLOBAL SPREAD of U.S. pop culture--which has become EVERYBODY'S culture. ...It's a WORLDWIDE network of shared experience."
"USA culture has become a WORLDWIDE culture..."
The Biblical definition of `idolatry': I John 5:21, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols--false gods," Literally means, from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of SUBSTITUTE for Him that would take FIRST place in your life.
What is it that the USA has exported to all the nations of the world? We have exported our popular culture, with its values of supremacy of self, and of satisfying oneself completely, instantly. We have exported to the entire world our god of self.
GOD CALLS HIS CHRISTIANS OUT OF BABYLON BEFORE HE EXECUTES JUDGMENT.
(18:4) --"I heard another voice from heaven saying, `Come out of her, MY people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.'"
This message is clearly a warning to Jesus' people to stop their participation in the wickedness of this society, so they may escape the Godly wrath about to fall. Christians may have to quit their jobs, lower their lifestyle, or change their life goals. Many Christians today are winking at sin in their lives. They may be committing sin just by the nature of their jobs. For example, no Christian can work in a liquor store, or in an `Adult Only' bookstore. If the very nature of your job requires you to participate in sin, you must NOW COME OUT of that job, or face the certainty of incurring God's eternal judgment.
Also, strongly implied in this passage is that conditions of life will appear to be very normal, until God's judgment suddenly falls in a single day. (Luke 17:28-30).
Herein lies God's PRINCIPLE of judgment: God will issue repeated warnings to repent before destruction. These warnings will be given to and through His. But He has set a specific DAY for destruction. That day will dawn as any other--the sun will come up; the skies will look normal; people will be going to work or to school; traffic jams will be occurring; businesses and factories will be operating; trains, planes, and busses will be running; Wall Street will be busy.
This day upon which God's judgment will fall will look and feel like any normal day. There will be no special, visible warning.
And, destruction will be total.
Babylon's Sins Have Piled Up from Earth to Heaven. The Time Has Arrived to Call Them Up for Remembrance.
(18:5) --"For her crimes and transgressions--are piled up as high as heaven and God has remembered her wickedness and her crimes--and calls them up for settlement..."
This is a statement of staggering proportions. How high is it from Earth to heaven? When these sins are stacked, they literally reach from Earth to heaven, according to God's accounting.
God DOUBLES the Punishment Which This Nation Is to Receive.
(18:6) --"Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double."
Our destruction will be by both massive nuclear blasts and Earth quakes. Dr. Einstein clearly proved that a small nuclear blast on the right place on an Earth quake fault would produce Earth quakes of such magnitude as to displace entire continents. The North American continent is covered with many such faults, from sea to shining sea. Thus, America would be doubly-destroyed, just as God foretold. Our destruction will be by both massive nuclear blasts and Earth quakes.
Further, I understood God's reasoning in doubling America's punishment. America has led the way in originating and thoroughly disseminating spiritual lies and the love of the world, to our children and the children of the world. These children then grow to adulthood to pass these un-Christian values to their children.
How many children's eternal souls have been lost through:
1) Humanistic, Godless public-school teaching.
2) Alcoholism
3) Drugs
4) T.V.
5) VCR's and video movies.
6) Ouija board games; Dungeons/Dragons
7) Rock music, with all its horrific themes.
8) Country music, with its themes glorifying alcohol and those `cheating' songs.
America's leadership in these sins has been instrumental in leading untold millions, perhaps billions, of precious souls into eternal Hell. Is it any wonder that God singles her out for "double" punishment?
BABYLON BOASTS PROUDLY IN HER HEART OF HER RICHES, BELIEVING SHE WILL CONTINUE FOREVER IN HER PROSPERITY.
(18:7) --"How much she has glorified herself, and lived (luxuriously), so much torment and sorrow give her; for she says in her heart, `I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.'"
Many of my friends believe that this good life will never end. Certainly, the very rich believe it with all their heart. Americans still lead the world in the wealth of her businessmen.
The number of billionaires per country.
1) USA 40+
2) Japan 24
3) West Germany 13
4) United Kingdom 7
5) Hong Kong 6
6) Canada 6
7) Saudi Arabia 55
American businessmen still hold the predominate wealth in the world. What is the attitude on the part of Americans toward this wealth? They believe they need nothing else and that this good time will never end.
This passage also implies that, at the time of God's destruction, this nation will be at her HEIGHT of power and monetary influence. Is America at her economic zenith now, or are we in serious decline?
"...The average American has NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD. By almost any measure of health and wealth...we are demonstrably better off now than in the...50's and 60's.
Our incomes are up...
We have more opportunities
We can choose among more things to buy..
The average American commands TWICE AS MUCH buying power today as in 1962, despite inflation and higher taxes..."
Employment benefits are twice as large a share of total compensation as they were 35 years ago...
Counting government subsidies, 1 in 10 Americans today is poor, versus 1 in 5 in 1960..."
We can expect to live 5 years longer
Infant mortality...fell by 50% during the 70-80's. * Fewer adults die of heart disease or in accidents * Medical costs have soared, but many more Americans can get care when they need it...because of Medicare, Medicaid...as well as a widening umbrella of private insurance plans...85% of Americans have some form of coverage, compared with 70% in 1962. Poor Americans have made the biggest gains."
It takes the average family 23 weeks of income to buy that average car now, versus 26 weeks in 1960..."
Homes are less affordable than in the 1960's... but more Americans own their own homes.
The average apartment today is newer, more spacious, and more stuffed with amenities than in 1960."
"The old in America work less and live longer, and at the same time, they are wealthier and more independent than ever before...today's elderly have piled up assets like no other generation of oldsters in history..." 9
America is now at her zenith of economic power, even though we are currently struggling with recession and loss of jobs.
GOD'S JUDGMENTS FALL IN ONE DAY UTTERLY DESTROYING BABYLON.
(18:8) --"Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for (mighty) is the Lord God who judges her."
At this point, carefully consider the statement of God in Jeremiah 50:25, "The LORD hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts." This passage could read, "The Lord has opened His armory, and has brought forth [the nations who unknowingly] are the weapons of His indignation and wrath..." Amazing!! God has used men and nations to accomplish His will in most instances when He delivers His wrath.
Historically, no nation has ever been utterly destroyed in one day. The single-day destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who were destroyed by a small primitive nuclear weapon, was actually a destruction which occurred within a SINGLE HOUR. As we look ahead to verse 10, God further narrows Babylon's destruction to a single hour. The nature of nuclear destruction is complete, utter devastation, within seconds and minutes. This destruction occurs from blast, radiation, and (fire)--hotter than the sun's surface.
This is the first, and only, time in world history that an ENTIRE nation could literally be destroyed in a single hour--with massive nuclear weapons.
Earth 's Leaders Bemoan Babylon's Destruction.
(18:9) --"And the rulers and leaders of the Earth , who joined her in her immorality [idolatry] and luxuriated with her, will weep and beat their breasts and lament over her when they see the smoke of her conflagration."
This nation provided great leadership and she was the economic engine of the world. World leaders are weeping because this loss threatens their own luxurious wealth. Does America really buy from all other nations of the world to such a degree?
"...The Third World now relies upon the United States to buy 65% of its manufactured exports, compared with only 45% in 1979." 10
The USA imports more than both Japan and West Germany combined. Remember Jesus' words, "...no one will buy their cargo anymore...")
Country Exports Imports:
1) USA 322 Billion 460 Billion
2) Japan 265 Billion 187 Billion
3) W. Germany 323 Billion 236 Billion
Remember, the key to this prophecy is on imports from other nations. This Economic Babylon undoubtedly has a very large Import imbalance, as she imports so much merchandise from the rest of the world.
Finally, look at the word `conflagration'--the inevitable white plumes formed by a nuclear explosion.
EARTH 'S BUSINESSMEN BEMOAN BABYLON'S FATE. IMMENSITY AND COMPLEXITY OF BABYLON'S ECONOMY IS DESCRIBED.
(18:10-17a) -- "They (the rulers of the Earth in verse 9) will stand a long way off, in terror of her torment, and they will cry, `Woe and alas! The great city! The mighty city, Babylon! In one single hour, how your doom (judgment) has overtaken you. And Earth 's businessmen weep and grieve over her, because no one buys their (cargo) anymore."
God then describes the extent of the economy of this nation, and it is huge. We do not have the time to read this text in detail, but we encourage you to read it, in verses 12-14.
God's judgment pronouncement is severe:
"The ripe fruits and delicacies for which your soul longed have gone from you, and ALL your luxuries and dainties, ... are lost to you, never again to be recovered or experienced." `Because, in one [single] hour, all the vast wealth has been wiped out.'"
Now consider some pertinent points of this passage:
I. In verses 10 and 15, God says that the rulers and the businessmen are standing a "long way off" in their intense lamenting over the loss of this great nation. Look at a world globe. The North American continent is UNIQUELY SURROUNDED on all sides by immense bodies of water. The great majority of our commercial trade is done with two major parts of the world--Asia to the West, across the Pacific Ocean; and Europe, to the East, across the Atlantic.
II. Verse 11: this great nation was unique. She alone bought such a huge amount of the cargo from the other nations of the world. No nation could replace her.
Only America is EXTREMELY DEPENDENT upon consumer purchasing for the health of her economy. Two-thirds of our total economic activity is generated by consumer spending.
Other statistics which show clearly that America is unique in the world's economy.
Compare the wealth of nations in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). Assign the US an index score of 100...Listed below are the scores of the other nations."
1) India-- PPP 17 Red China-- PPP 19 S. Korea--PPP 31
2) Taiwan-- PPP 36 Singapore-- PPP 46 USSR-- PPP 47
3) Italy-- PPP 54 Hong Kong--PPP 58 Britain-- PPP 66
4) E. Germany-- PPP 70 Japan-- PPP 77 France-- PPP 79
5) W. Germany--PPP 84
3. America's loss to the world's economy would be devastating. The world would lose THE MOST PRODUCTIVE agricultural exporting continent in the WORLD.
Turning back to Revelation 6:4: the second rider out of heaven was on a flaming red horse; this rider carried a huge sword, bringing great war upon the Earth , so that men slaughtered one another. If we understood that this great slaughter was the utter destruction of Canada and the USA in Chapter 18, then we could easily see how Revelation 6:5-6 and 6:8 could be fulfilled literally and quickly. Revelation 6:5-6 describe famine and subsistence living for the world's people. This scenario would certainly happen quickly, once the world's most productive agricultural continent, and the world's most important economic engine, was removed. Instantly following the nuclear annihilation of North America, the stock markets and economies of Europe and Asia would collapse, plunging the global economy into the deepest economic depression ever.
The literal fulfillment to Revelation 6:8 would quickly follow--famine, plague, disease.
The economy of this great nation is described in 18:12-13, and 16, as vast, multifaceted economy. The key emphasis is on the volume of merchandise which this economy IMPORTS.
Iron is specifically mentioned
This economy also bought and sold luxurious products: perfumes, incense, ointments.
An immense agricultural economy is also described:
Fine flour and wheat
Cattle, sheep, and horses.
This economy also imports and exports `chariots' or `conveyances. Our modern vehicles of `conveyances'--cars, trucks, planes, buses, tractors. Imports of this type of product into and out of the American economy is enormous.
Ship Captains, Navigators, And Crews Bemoan Babylon's Fate
(18:17b-19) --"...And all ship captains and pilots, navigators, and all who live by seafaring...stood a long way off and exclaimed as they watched the smoke of her burning, `What city could be compared to the great city!' And, they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and grieved, exclaiming, `Woe and alas, for the great city, where all who had ships on the sea grew rich through her extravagance from her great wealth! In one single hour, she has been destroyed, and has become a desert.'"
Babylon was unique in that she imported/exported most of her trade via the sea. As we have already stated, only America is so uniquely situated geographically that she has to carry her imports so completely via the ocean.
In 18:9, 15, and 19: the leaders, businessmen, and ship-owners able to see the smoke of this nation's burning. Not even huge pillars of white nuclear smoke, rising over America, could be seen with the naked eye 2,000-4,000 miles away. This viewing of the smoke from such great distances can only occur today, with TV transmissions from orbiting satellites.
* The very end of verse 19: This destruction has made this nation `a desert'. One of the effects of nuclear explosions, especially at the point of impact, is the formation of glass and sand.
Babylon Will Be Destroyed By Great Violence As Though A Mighty Millstone Were Cast Into The Sea.
(18:21) --"And a MIGHTY angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, `Thus, with such violence, shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be heard no more at all.'"
This destruction of this nation will evidently be of UNPARALLELED VIOLENCE, producing a destruction, the likes of which have NEVER been seen BEFORE in world history.
Everything Comprising A Civilization Is Gone Forever.
(18:22-23a)--"And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee..."
Babylon's Great Business Leaders Will Be Destroyed for The Way In Which They Mislead Others.
(18:23b) --"...for thy merchants were the great men of the Earth ; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."
The United States of America has led the world into this Satanic New World Order, both in terms of national political and economic leadership, but mostly in the leadership of values. People all over the world have yearned to be like America, as they have seen our wealth, success, and power. Such a position draws people to emulate, to allow themselves to be deceived.”

Feminism Tricked Women Into Giving Up Their Power
Women want love, marriage and family. Men want Sex. Before second-wave feminism, the watchword for women was "No sex before marriage." Feminists like Brown duped women into giving sex in exchange for NOTHING. Thanks partly to her, almost 50% of American women are childless today. She deprived women of their honored natural and social roles as wives and mothers. Feminism pretended to empower women while doing exactly the opposite.
"For every genuine case of men sexually harassing women, there are probably ten cases of women using sex for advancement. Helen Gurley Brown made that strategy explicit." -Reader
Cosmo Editor Helen Gurley Brown, (1922-2012) was called "champion of the single girl". She taught them to sell their bodies rather than demand love, courtship and marriage first. She was an Illuminati social engineer, a Satanist whore who made prostitution seem chic.
In her autobiography, "I'm Wild Again" (2000) she tells us right away that in 1941, at age 19 she joined an "escort service" and had sex with a 50-year-old man for $5 (worth $80 today.) Page 4 She also boasted she slept with 178 men before her marriage.
Illuminati Taught Young Women to Exchange Family Life with Whoredom
In 1965, Helen Gurley Brown, the editor of Cosmopolitan, said that a housewife was "a parasite, a dependent, a scrounger, a sponge or a bum." She didn't call them whores because she respects whores.
Her sister-in-arms, Betty Friedan, compared homemakers to "concentration camp inmates" because of the lack of stimulation and opportunity for advancement in concentration camps. (The Feminine Mystique, p. 306)
These mind-boggling attacks typify the vicious psychological war against society by Illuminati Satanists. Their program to degrade women, destroy families, arrest heterosexual development, create dysfunction and reduce population has been devastatingly successful.
"The scale of marital breakdown in the West since 1960 has no historical precedent," says historian Lawrence Stone. In 40 short years, the marriage rate is down by one third, the divorce rate has doubled, the birth rate is one half, and single-parent families per capita have tripled. Forty per cent of all children born in the US in 2007 were out of wedlock compared to 4% in 1957.
In 1952, the Rockefellers controlled $250 million dollars of media advertising annually. They hyped Helen Gurley Brown's 1962 book, "Sex and the Single Girl" and the movie. Single women were told they should have career and sex instead of family. At the same time, the Rockefellers were also funding and lobbying for population control and eugenics.
As editor of Cosmopolitan (1965-97), Brown was a role model for career women the world over (36 foreign editions.) She married her manager at age 37 and remained childless. Along with Communist activist Betty Frieden, and CIA agent Gloria Steinem, Brown belongs to the triumvirate of modern feminist social engineers. When she died, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, "New York City lost a pioneer who reshaped not only the entire media industry, but the nation's culture. She was a role model for the millions of women whose private thoughts, wonders and dreams she addressed so brilliantly in print."
What Housewives Are Not...
Brown respects whores because prostitution is her program for women. In her autobiography, "I'm Wild Again" (2000) she tells us right away that in 1941, at age 19 she joined an "escort service" and made out with a 50-year-old man for $5 ($80 today.)
"Why wasn't I revolted? I was a little but not utterly. I think even then I was a practicing realist... I tried to do whatever you needed to do to survive."
She got a secretarial job on the understanding that she would sleep with her married boss and he would "take care" of her in return. This arrangement lasted for a few years. She describes the routine:
"After cocktail hour we did go to my flat to make love. The lovemaking? ...This was two people copulating -- he seemed to have a good time...Moi learned to fake often and well."
Brown's excuse is that she was a helping a mother and invalid sister back in Arkansas. (Prostitutes generally don't come from wealth.)
Her only regret: she never really got the promised financial payoff: "I needed somebody to tell me how to treat a man in this situation, how to flatter and cuddle and coo. I should have done it better."
Helen Gurley Brown became that tutor. She taught women how to parlay sex appeal into profit and control. She helped to transform feminine nature from love and devotion to calculated predation.
Here is how she got her husband to marry her.
"You get the hook in. The darling, charming, delicious, sexy you has to have sunk into him so seriously; the hook [is] buried so deep he can't get it out without severe pain, i.e. can't live without you. You then close in and deliver your ultimatum. I had to deliver mine twice."
While Brown claims she was loyal, she thinks adultery is just fine. The man's wife is to blame if he strays. Sex, Brown says, "is a physical feeling" "it feels good... one of the best things we have...." not to be subjected to "a moral imperative."
Suffocating a sexual urge can lead to "twitches, tension or depression" and driving "off a cliff some night." But, like a practiced madam, she cautions "never sleep with someone who has less money or more troubles than you."
Office romances and even sleeping with the boss is just fine as long as you're discreet. She tells her readers to make the boss "look good," let him take credit for their work, and don't complain about putting in extra hours.
Feminism, it seems, has removed wives and mothers from their families, and put them to work for corporations. Instead of serving husbands and children who love them, women now obey bosses who pay for their services and fire them in a downturn.
In Brown's view, if a loving husband provides for a devoted wife, she is a "parasite." But if she is a corporate slave or whore, then she is "independent" and "liberated."
This quote from the review of a new biography reiterates her contempt for marriage and family: "When "Sex and the Single Girl" came out in the early 1960s, the most shocking thing ... was Brown's matter-of-fact attitude toward affairs with married men."
Feminism is an excuse to sell yourself:
"...she recommended that her readers take advantage of the situation, milking a guilty and grateful married lover for gifts, money and workplace advancement, which Brown regarded as fair recompense for the fact that men got paid more than women and kept the best jobs for themselves."
The message that sexual urges were not to be denied, that promiscuity was "cool" and "modern," was instilled in women to degrade them and undermine marriage. The state is intended to replace the family.
In reality, women achieve fulfilment through self-sacrifice. It is a vicious slander to portray devoted hardworking wives and mothers as "bums" and "parasites."
The assumption that only work performed for cash (state/economy) is of value is sick. They want to denigrate the personal and spiritual realm, the private life of the family and the effort that this entails.
Brown says, "Whenever you live through someone else, they want someone else." This is simply not true. We love mom because she put us ahead of becoming the top producer at Century 21. Love is self-sacrifice.
Beyond a certain point, worldly ambition in a woman is masculine and impersonal. America is full of bitter neutered women and befuddled emasculated men.
The only question remaining, Was she Jewish? This is unclear, but she married a Jew and perfectly advanced the Masonic Jewish agenda.

The Noble Lie of Evolution
A “Noble Lie" - The Gnostic Myth of Darwinism to *Immanentize the Eschaton...
*Immanentize: to bring about to the immanent realm (the realm of man). Essentially, to "make really real."
*Eschaton: Speculated to the be peaceful and heavenly state of humankind's future history: a true golden age before the species end.
*“In political theory and theology, to immanentize the eschaton means trying to bring about the eschaton in the immanent world. In all these contexts it means "trying to make that which belongs to the afterlife happen here and now". --Wikipedia
The Gnostic Origins Myth of a self-created Man and a self-created God Man (Apotheosis) is the core of the Mystery School Religions. It is really what Darwinism is founded upon, in the first place. And so, while even a short term perspective on Darwinism and Evolution, in general, can reveal that they were actually created to ultimately lead to this eventual Apotheosis of Man (Darwinism was a Masonic invention, and as such, with an Occult Masonic Agenda attached to it, from day one.) We can also see that, built into Evolution, are all the provisions of what may be regarded as a New Origins Myth, when in fact, it is not but rather merely a repackaging of this ancient Gnostic Origins Myth.
And in that Darwinism is a retelling of the original Gnostic Lie of Apotheosis, it just leads people right back to the very beginning to that same basic formula put forth in Genesis 3 by The Serpent, where he convinces Adam and Eve (Humanity) to question God and to reach out for special Gnosis (Secret Knowledge of Good and Evil) which will allow them to define reality for themselves, achieve their own Godhood, and become the creator of their own destiny, apart from the true Creator.
And to believe in this Luciferian dream of Immanentizing our own Eschaton, a true Golden Age before the species ends, and to bring in the conclusion of the Eschaton, the utopian dream of our own making, but to think it will be accomplished through the acquisition of secret knowledge (Gnosis), is to fall into the same temptation for Apotheosis promised by The Serpent.
And so once again, there's “nothing new under the sun.” And it's interesting to note that it’s really all just one big Hegelian Dialectic. When you reject God, you create a moral dilemma, and thus, you create the PROBLEM. Then in turn, that problem triggers a REACTION: an existential breakdown and a moral void of incoherence. And then the necessity for a SOLUTION arises: the idea of our own self-actualized divinity emanating from Evolution.
And that is the essence of The Noble Lie.

Alive Bailey Describes The New World Order that The New Age Will Devour
First of all, it must be recognized that the cause of all world unrest, of the world wars which have wrecked humanity and the widespread misery upon our planet can largely be attributed to a selfish group with materialistic purposes who have for centuries exploited the masses and used the labor of mankind for their selfish ends. From the feudal barons of Europe and Great Britain in the Middle Ages through the powerful business groups of the Victorian era to the handful of capitalists—national and international—who today control the world's resources, the capitalistic system has emerged and has wrecked the world.
This group of capitalists has cornered and exploited the world's resources and the staples required for civilized living; they have been able to do this because they have owned and controlled the world's wealth through their interlocking directorates and have retained it in their own hands. They have made possible the vast differences existing between the very rich and the very poor; they love money and the power which money gives; they have stood behind governments and politicians; they have controlled the electorate; they have made possible the narrow nationalistic aims of selfish politics; they have financed the world businesses and controlled oil, coal, power, light and transportation; they control publicly or sub rosa the world's banking accounts.
The responsibility for the widespread misery to be found today in every country in the world lies predominantly at the door of certain major interrelated groups of business-men, bankers, executives of international cartels, monopolies, trusts and organizations and directors of huge corporations who work for corporate or personal gain. They are not interested in benefiting the public except in so far that the public demand for better living conditions will enable them—under the Law of Supply and Demand—to provide the goods, the transportation, light and power which will in the long run bring in heavier financial returns. Exploitation of man-power, the manipulation of the major planetary resources and the promotion of war for private or business profit are characteristic of their methods.
In every nation, such men and organizations—responsible for the capitalistic system—are to be found. The ramifications of their businesses and their financial grasp upon humanity were, prior to the war, active in every land and though they went underground during the war, they still exist. They form an international group, closely interrelated, working in complete unity of idea and intention and knowing and understanding each other.
These men belonged to both the Allied Nations and the Axis Powers; they have worked together before and through the entire period of the war through interlocking directorates, under false names and through deceptive organizations, aided by neutrals of their own way of thinking. Today, in spite of the disaster which they have brought upon the world, they are again organized and renewing their methods; their goals remain unchanged; their international relationships remain unbroken; they constitute the greatest menace mankind faces today; they control politics; they buy prominent men in every nation; they insure silence through threat, cash and fear; they amass wealth and buy a spurious popularity through philanthropic enterprise; their families live soft and easy lives and seldom know the meaning of God-ordained work; they surround themselves with beauty, luxury and possessions and shut their eyes to the poverty, stark unhappiness, lack of warmth and decent clothing, the starvation and the ugliness of the lives of the millions by whom they are surrounded; they contribute to charities and church agencies as a salve to their consciences or to avoid income taxes; they provide work for countless thousands but see to it that these thousands receive so small a wage that real comfort, leisure, culture and travel are impossible.
The above is a terrible indictment. It can, however, be substantiated a thousand times over; it is breeding revolution and a growing spirit of unrest. The masses of the people in every land are aroused and awakening and a new day is dawning. A war is starting between the selfish monied interests and the mass of humanity who demand fair play and a right share of the world's wealth.
--from Problems of Humanity by Alice Bailey, Pages 70-72
In Brave New World Revisited, Aldous Huxley more succinctly defined this Epistemological Cartel:
“The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work’ with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.”– Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 116
This is the ultimate objective of the elite: an oligarchy legitimized by arbitrarily anointed expositors of ‘knowledge’ or, in Huxley’s own words, a ‘scientific dictatorship.’
The New Theocracy
How did the ‘scientific dictatorship’ of the twentieth century begin? In earlier centuries, the ruling class controlled the masses through more mystical belief systems, particularly Sun worship. Yet, this would all change. In Saucers of the Illuminati, Jim Keith documents the shift from a theocracy of the Sun to a theocracy of ‘science’:
“Since the Sun God (and his various relations, including sons and wives) were, after several thousand years of worship, beginning to fray around the edges in terms of believability, and a lot commoners were beginning to grumble that this stuff was all made up, the Illuminati came up with a new and improved version of their mind control software that didn’t depend upon the Sun God or Moon Goddess for ultimate authority.” – Keith, Saucers of the Illuminati, 78

The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship
The following is a condensation from The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship: An Examination of Epistemic Autocracy, from the 19th to the 21st Century
by
Phillip Darrell Collins, Paul David Collins
Illuminating the Occult Origin of Darwinism
As antiquity gave way to modern history, the religious power structure shifted to an autocracy of the knowable, or a ‘scientific dictatorship.’ Subtly and swiftly, the ruling class seized control of science and used it as an ‘epistemological weapon’ against the masses. This article will show that the history and background of this ‘scientific dictatorship’ is a conspiracy, created and micro-managed by the historical tide of Darwinism, which has its foundations in Freemasonry.
The Epistemological Cartel
In the Architecture of Modern Political Power, Daniel Pouzzner outlines the tactics employed by the elite to maintain their dominance. Among them is: ‘Ostensible control over the knowable, by marketing institutionally accredited science as the only path to true understanding’ (Pouzzner, 75). Thus, the ruling class endeavors to discourage independent reason while exercising illusory power over human knowledge. This tactic of control through knowledge suppression and selective dissemination is reiterated in the anonymously authored document Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars:
“Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on Earth . Natural science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science, theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems. Mathematics is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping. All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control.” – Keith, Secret and Suppressed, 203
The word ‘science’ is derived from the Latin word scientia, which means ‘knowing.’ Epistemology is the study of the nature and origin of knowledge. This elite monopoly of the knowable, which is enforced through institutional science, could be characterized as an “epistemological cartel.” The ruling class has bribed the ‘bookkeepers’ (i.e., natural and social scientists). Meanwhile, the masses practically deify the ‘bookkeepers’ of the elite and remain ‘ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.’ The unknown author of Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars provides an eloquently simple summation: ‘The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?’ (Keith, Secret and Suppressed, 203).
Priests and rituals were soon supplanted by a new breed of ‘bookkeepers’ and a new ‘methodology of bookkeeping.’ Keith elaborates:
“As the Sun/Moon cult lost some of its popularity, ‘Scientists’ were quick to take up some of the slack. According to their propaganda, the physical laws of the universe were the ultimate causative factors, and naturally, those physical laws were only fathomable by the scientific (i.e. Illuminati) elite.” – Keith, Saucers of the Illuminati, 78-79
This consciously induced paradigm shift facilitated the emergence of the elite’s new theocracy. The official state-sanctioned religion of this theocracy was ‘scientism’: the belief that the investigational methods of the natural sciences should be ecumenically imposed upon all fields of inquiry. This form of epistemological imperialism is not to be confused with legitimate science. Researcher Michael Hoffman makes this distinction in his book Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare:
“Science, when practiced as the application of man’s God-given talents for the production of appropriate technology on a human scale, relief of misery and the reverential exploration and appreciation of the glory of Divine Providence as revealed in nature, is a useful tool for mankind. Scientism is science gone mad, which is what we have today.” (Hoffman, 49)
Hoffman further elaborates on the folly of scientism:
“The reason that science is a bad master and dangerous servant and ought not to be worshipped is that science is not objective. Science is fundamentally about the uses of measurement. What does not fit the yardstick of the scientist is discarded. Scientific determinism has repeatedly excluded some data from its measurement and fudged other data, such as Piltdown Man, in order to support the self-fulfilling nature of its own agenda, be it Darwinism or ‘cut, burn and poison’ methods of cancer ‘treatment’.” (Hoffman, 49)
It must be understood that this new institution of knowing is a form of mysticism like its religious precursors. Contemporary science is predicated upon empiricism, the idea that all knowledge is derived exclusively through the senses. Yet, an exclusively empirical approach relegates cause to the realm of metaphysical fantasy. This holds enormous ramifications for science. Do we really know what causes anything?
Although temporal succession and spatial proximity are self-evident, causal connection is not. Affirmation of causal relationships is impossible in science. What is perceived as A causing B could be merely circumstantial juxtaposition. Given the absence of known cause, all of a scientist’s findings must be taken upon faith. This is all one can deduce while working under the paradigm of radical empiricism. Thus, the elite merely exchanged one form of mysticism for another.
Returning to Pouzzner’s previous statement, ‘ostensible control over the knowable’ is achieved through the promulgation of ‘institutionally accredited science’ (Pouzzner, 75). Now, the elite had to meet two requirements to insure their epistemological dominance: a science specifically designed for their needs and an institution to accredit and disseminate it.
The British Royal Society
The new secular church and clergy of the elite originated within the walls of the British Royal Society. The creators of the Royal Society were also members of the Masonic Lodge. According to Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln in Holy Blood, Holy Grail:
“Virtually all the Royal Society’s founding members were Freemasons. One could reasonably argue that the Royal Society itself, at least in its inception, was a Masonic institution – derived, through Andrea’s Christian Unions, from the ‘invisible Rosicrucian brotherhood’.” (Baigent, et al, 144)
Jim Keith makes it clear that the Masonic Lodge ‘has been alleged to be a conduit for the intentions of a number of elitist interests’ (Keith, Casebook on Alternative 3, 20). In service to the elite, the Royal Society Freemasons would re-sculpt epistemological notions and disseminate propaganda. Jim Keith provides a brief summation of the Royal Society’s role in years to come: ‘The British Royal Society of the late seventeenth century was the forerunner of much of the media manipulation that was to follow’ (Keith, Saucers of the Illuminati, 79).
Before the advent of the British Royal Society, science (i.e., the study of natural phenomena) and theology (i.e., the study of God) were inseparable. The two were not separate repositories of knowledge, but natural correlatives. In Confession of Nature, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz established the centrality of God to science. According to Leibniz, the proximate origins of ‘magnitude, figure, and motion,’ which constitute the ‘primary qualities’ of corporeal bodies, ‘cannot be found in the essence of the body’ (de Hoyos).
Linda de Hoyos reveals the point at which science finds a dilemma:
“The problem arises when the scientist asks why the body fills this space and not another; for example, why it should be three feet long rather than two, or square rather than round. This cannot be explained by the nature of the bodies themselves, since the matter is indeterminate as to any definite figure, whether square or round. For the scientist who refuses to resort to an incorporeal cause, there can be only two answers. Either the body has been this way since eternity, or it has been made square by the impact of another body. ‘Eternity’ is no answer, since the body could have been round for eternity also. If the answer is ‘the impact of another body,’ there remains the question of why it should have had any determinate figure before such motion acted upon it. This question can then be asked again and again, backwards to infinity. Therefore, it appears that the reason for a certain figure and magnitude in bodies can never be found in the nature of these bodies themselves.”
The Same can be established for the body’s cohesion and firmness, which left Leibniz with the following conclusion:
“Since we have demonstrated that bodies cannot have a determinate figure, quantity, or motion, without an incorporeal being, it readily becomes apparent that this incorporeal being is one for all, because of the harmony of things among themselves, especially since bodies are moved not individually by this incorporeal being but by each other. But no reason can be given why this incorporeal being chooses one magnitude, figure, and motion rather than another, unless he is intelligent and wise with regard to the beauty of things and powerful with regard to their obedience to their command. Therefore such an incorporeal being be a mind ruling the whole world, that is, God.” (de Hoyos)
Of course, this conclusion was antithetical to the doctrine of the scientific dictatorship, which contended that ‘the physical laws of the universe were the ultimate causative factors’ (Keith, Saucers of the Illuminati, 78-79). Metaphysical naturalism (i.e., nature is God) had to be enthroned. Meanwhile, God’s presence in the corridors of science had to be expunged. To achieve this, the Royal Society created a Gnostic division between science and theology, thus insuring the primacy of matter in the halls of scientific inquiry (Tarpley).
Blind Reverence to Science
Indeed, biases and presuppositions pervade the very fabric of the elite’s epistemic autocracy. Academia itself has become the official church for this cult of epistemological selectivity. Christian philosopher Ravi Zacharias personally encountered the enormous prejudicial hurdles of scientism during a casual conversation with a few scholars, wherein one scientist makes a shocking confession:
I asked them a couple of questions. ‘If the Big Bang were indeed where it all began, may I ask what preceded the Big Bang?’ Their answer, which I had anticipated, was that the universe was shrunk down to a singularity.
I pursued, ‘But isn’t it correct that a singularity as defined by science is a point at which all the laws of physics break down?’
‘That is correct,’ was the answer.
‘Then, technically, your starting point is not scientific either.’
There was silence, and their expressions betrayed the scurrying mental searches for an escape hatch. But I had yet another question.
I asked if they agreed that when a mechanistic view of the universe had held sway, thinkers like Hume had chided philosophers for taking the principle of causality and applying it to a philosophical argument for the existence of God. Causality, he warned, could not be extrapolated from science to philosophy.
‘Now,’ I added, ‘when quantum theory holds sway, randomness in the subatomic world is made a basis for randomness in life. Are you not making the very same extrapolation that you warned us against?’
Again there was silence and then one man said with a self-deprecating smile, ‘We scientists do seem to retain selective sovereignty over what we allow to be transferred to philosophy and what we don’t’ (Zacharias, 64).
This ‘selective sovereignty,’ vigorously enforced by the epistemic autocracy of the elite, effectively marginalized dissenters and consummated the apotheosis of the ‘bookkeepers.’ Hoffman explains:
“The cryptocracy has successfully harnessed to its own ends the huge potential for promoting secret political-occult agendas to the public, by presenting them as unassailable ‘objective scientific truth.’ Since the bogey of ‘science’ instills in secularists a sort of blind reverence, opponents of political and occult agendas promoted through the propaganda of scientism are quickly stigmatized as ‘Neanderthal,’ especially with regard to their opposition to Darwinism, a dogma proved false by Norman Macbeth in his magisterial Darwin Retried and exposed as a cult by Gertrude Himmelfarb in Darwin.” (Hoffman, 49)
Suddenly, ‘ostensible control over the knowable’ became the Divine Providence of god-like ‘bookkeepers.’ Meanwhile, their opponents became heretics and were ‘burned at the stake’ (i.e., marginalized by academia and other secular institutions). Hoffman states:
“The doctrine of man playing god reaches its nadir in the philosophy of scientism which makes possible the complete mental, spiritual and physical enslavement of mankind through technologies such as satellite and computer surveillance; a state of affairs symbolized by the ‘All Seeing Eye‘ above the unfinished pyramid on the U.S. one dollar bill.” (Hoffman, 50)
With the inculcation of the masses into scientism, the unfinished pyramid is almost complete.
Evolution: The Occult Doctrine of Becoming
With the British Royal Society acting as their headquarters of propaganda, the elite had created an institution to provide credibility for their specially designed ‘science.’ Now, they needed to introduce the ‘science.’ Recall that the founding members of the Royal Society were all Freemasons. Thus, whatever ‘science’ these men would design would be derivative of Masonic doctrine. In The Meaning of Masonry, W.L. Wilmhurst reveals the worldview underpinning the new Masonic ‘science’:
“This – the evolution [emphasis added] of man into superman – was always the purpose of the ancient Mysteries, and the real purpose of modern Masonry is not the social and charitable purposes to which so much attention is paid, but the expediting of the spiritual evolution of those who aspire to perfect their own nature and transform it into a more god-like quality. And this is a definite science, a royal art, which it is possible for each of us to put into practice; whilst to join the Craft for any other purpose than to study and pursue this science is to misunderstand its meaning.” (Wilmhurst, 47)
Later in the book, Wilmhurst reiterates this theme:
“Man who has sprung from Earth and developed through the lower kingdoms of nature to his present rational state, has yet to complete his evolution [emphasis added] by becoming a god-like being and unifying his consciousness with the Omniscient – to promote which is and always has been the sole aim and purpose of all Initiation.” (Wilmhurst, 94)
With God’s effective exile from science, man’s position as imago viva Dei (created in the image of the Creator) was summarily relegated to obsolescence. Now, Freemasonry could introduce its occult doctrine of ‘becoming,’ the belief in man’s gradual evolution towards apotheosis.
According to Mackey’s Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles Darwin, was the first to promulgate the concept of evolution:
“Dr. Erasmus Darwin (1731 – 1802) was the first man in England to suggest those ideas which later were to be embodied in the Darwinian theory by his grandson, Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882), who wrote in 1859 Origin of Species.” (quoted in Daniel, 34)
The Lunar Society
Erasmus Darwin was the founder of the Lunar Society. According to author Ian Taylor, the Lunar Society was active from about 1764 to 1800 and its prominent influence ‘continued long afterwards under the banner of The Royal Society.’ The group’s name owed itself to the fact that members met monthly at the time of the full moon. The membership of this group boasted such luminaries as John Wilkinson (who made cannons), James Watt (who owed his notoriety to the steam engine), Matthew Boulton (a manufacturer), Joseph Priestly (a chemist), Josiah Wedgewood (who founded the famous pottery business), and Benjamin Franklin. It is with the Lunar Society that one begins to identify Erasmus’ ties to Freemasonry. (Taylor, 55)
Interestingly enough, in an article by Lord Richie-Calder, Lunar Society members were assigned the very esoteric appellation of ‘merchants of light.’ This was precisely the same description used for the hypothetical society presented in Sir Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis (Taylor, 55). In her examination of J.G. Findel’s History of Freemasonry, Nesta Webster made the following observation: ‘Findel frankly admits that the New Atlantis contained unmistakable allusions to Freemasonry and that Bacon contributed to its final transformation’ (Webster, 120).
Researcher Ian Taylor adds:
“Webster pointed out that one of the earliest and most eminent precursors of Freemasonry is said to have been Francis Bacon, who is also recognized to have been a Rosicrucian; the Rosicrucian and Freemason orders were closely allied and may have had a common source.” (Taylor, 445)
Still, these are tenuous ties at best. Are there any sources that firmly establish a Darwinian/Freemasonic connection? Mackey’s Encyclopedia of Freemasonry conclusively confirms a link:
“Before coming to Derby in 1788, Dr. [Erasmus] Darwin had been made a Mason in the famous Time Immemorial Lodge of Cannongate Kilwinning, No. 2, of Scotland. Sir Francis Darwin, one of the Doctor’s sons, was made a Mason in Tyrian Lodge, No. 253, at Derby, in 1807 or 1808. His son Reginald was made a Mason in Tyrian Lodge in 1804. The name of Charles Darwin does not appear on the rolls of the Lodge but it is very possible that he, like Francis, was a Mason.” (quoted in Daniel, 34)
In 1794, Erasmus wrote a book entitled Zoonomia, which delineated his theory of evolution (Taylor, 58). Being a Freemason, there is little doubt that Erasmus cribbed liberally from the Lodge’s occult doctrine of ‘becoming.’ Before Erasmus had penned his precursory notions of progressive biological development, Freemason John Locke (1632 – 1704) extrapolated the Hindu doctrine of reincarnation into the context of metaphysical naturalism and formulated a theory of evolution (Daniel, 33-34).
The British East India Company had imported the Hindu belief in reincarnation to England where it would be adopted by the British Royal Society. A prominent member of the Royal Society, John Locke studied reincarnation extensively and, working with the occult doctrine as an extrapolative inspiration, developed his own evolutionary ideas. In fact, Locke’s theory of evolution received the support of the male members of Darwin’s family (Daniel, 33-34). Two centuries later, this occult concept of ‘becoming’ would be transmitted to Charles Darwin and On the Origin of Species would be born.
Metaphysical Naturalism: The Golem Reborn
Underpinning the concept of metaphysical naturalism is the notion that life originated with lifeless matter. This notion, dubbed ‘spontaneous generation,’ excludes the involvement of a supernatural Creator. Thus, nature became a god creating itself. Louis Pasteur, whose work established the Law of Biogenesis, provided the most succinct summation of this anthropomorphic mysticism:
“To bring about spontaneous generation would be to create a germ. It would be creating life; it would be to solve the problem of its origin. It would mean to go from matter to life through conditions of environment and of matter [lifeless material]. God as author of life would then no longer be needed. Matter would replace Him. God would need to be invoked only as author of the motions of the universe.” (Dubos, 395)
Like all of the ‘false gods’ of antiquity, the voracity of this new deity was soon demolished. ‘Spontaneous generation’ was proven impossible by the Law of Biogenesis. However, this fact did not stop certain ‘men of science’ from chronically deifying nature. For instance, Charles Darwin unconsciously revealed his idolatrous impulses through statements like: ‘natural selection picks out with unerring skill the best varieties’ (Hooykaas, 18).
Evident in such statements is the idea that nature is sentient. After all, only a sentient being holds discriminative tastes and, therefore, ‘picks out’ the recipients of its favor. Moreover, such statements reveal that ‘nature’ itself is a sovereign deity acting as the ultimate arbiter of life and death. This meme has metastasized, presenting itself today as the Gaia Hypothesis. This hypothesis holds that the biosphere is a self-creating, self-sustaining, and self-regenerating entity. Central to this thesis is the contention that both the living and non-living are inseparable (Lovelock, 31-33).
Although the concept of ‘spontaneous generation’ was proven scientifically bankrupt years ago, many continue to resuscitate its corpse. Why does this theme of lifeless matter spontaneously generating life continue to emerge? The answer is because it has been with man for a very long time. It is derivative of the golem, an occult concept presented in the Hebraic Kabbalah. Thirty-third Degree Freemason Albert Pike revealed that: ‘all the Masonic associations owe to it [the Kabbalah] their Secrets and their Symbols’ (Pike, 744). According to this occult text, the golem was an artificially created man whose life was the result of supernatural intervention. The late Isaac Bashevis Singer, who studied the Kabbalah extensively, explained:
“’the golem ‘ is based on faith ‘ that dead matter is not really dead, but can be brought to life [emphasis added]’ What are the computers and robots of our time if not golems? ‘ The Talmud tells us of an interpreter by the name of Rava who formed a man by this mysterious power’ We are living in an epoch of golem-making right now. The gap between science and magic ‘ is becoming narrower’.” (Hoffman, 115)
Drawing upon the esoteric doctrines of their occult heritage, the Freemasonic members of the British Royal Society re-introduced the golem to the public mind under the guise of ‘metaphysical naturalism.’ Gradually, the corporeal machinations of nature supplanted the miraculous Creator. Of course, these machinations were only intelligible to anointed scientists of the epistemic autocracy. Thus, the ‘bookkeepers’ of the elite became the new expositors of ‘miracles.’ This virtual deification of the ‘bookkeepers’ is evident in Singer’s later statements regarding the golem:
“I was interested in the golem ‘ from my early childhood. I was brought up in the home of a rabbi, and his sermons often spoke of miracles, by the Baal Shem Tov and other wonder rabbis. ‘ I realized early in my life that science and technology had actually created a civilization of miracles. Science is one long chain of miracles.’.” (Hoffman, 116)
Recall the words of Aldous Huxley in Brave New World Revisited: ‘The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles [emphasis added], and mysteries.’ The new dictators do not intend to make the same mistake. With the effective enshrinement of metaphysical naturalism, the British Royal Society prepared to unleash their next golem. However, this golem would be an artificially created ape-man presented to the public imagination under the appellation of Darwinism.
The Darwin Project
In the article ‘Toward a New Science of Life,’ EIR journalist Jonathan Tennenbaum makes the following the statement concerning Darwinism:
“Now, it is easy to show that Darwinism, one of the pillars of modern biology, is nothing but a kind of cult, a cult religion. I am not exaggerating. It has no scientific validity whatsoever. Darwin’s so-called theory of evolution is based on absurdly irrational propositions, which did not come from scientific observations, but were artificially introduced from the outside, for political-ideological reasons.” (Tennenbaum)
Given Darwinism’s roots in occult Freemasonry and its expedient promotion of an emergent species of supermen (i.e., the elite), this is a fairly accurate assessment. Charles Darwin acted as the elite’s apostle, preaching the new secular gospel of evolution. Darwinism could be considered a Freemasonic project, the culmination of a publicity campaign conducted by the Lodge. Evidence for this contention can be found in controversial Protocols of the Wise Men of Sion.
Although an examination of the Protocols and a critique of their authenticity are not the purposes of this essay, it is important to address the questions surrounding their origins. After all, the Protocols have been employed throughout history in numerous genocidal campaigns against the Jews. However, the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail provide evidence that the document may be Masonic in origin:
“It can thus be proved conclusively that the Protocols did not issue from the Judaic congress at Basle in 1897. That being so, the obvious questions is whence they did issue. Modern scholars have dismissed them as a total forgery, a wholly spurious document concocted by anti-Semitic interests’ intent on discrediting Judaism. And yet the Protocols themselves argue strongly against such a conclusion. They contain, for example, a number of enigmatic references – references that are clearly not Judaic. But these references are so clearly not Judaic that they cannot plausibly have been fabricated by a forger, either. No anti-Semitic forger with even a modicum of intelligence would possibly have concocted such references in order to discredit Judaism. For no one would have believed these references to be of Judaic origin.”
Thus, for instance, the text of the Protocols ends with a single statement. ‘Signed by the representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree.’ Why would an anti-Semitic forger have made up such a statement? Why would he not have attempted to incriminate all Jews, rather than just a few – the few who constitute ‘the representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree’? Why would he not declare that the document was signed by, say, the representatives of the international Judaic congress? In fact, the ‘representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree’ would hardly seem to refer to Judaism at all, or to any ‘international Jewish conspiracy.’ If anything, it would seem to refer to something specifically Masonic. And the thirty-third degree in Freemasonry is that of the so-called Strict Observance – the system of Freemasonry introduced by Hund at the behest of his ‘unknown superiors,’ one of whom appears to have been Charles Radclyffe (Baigent, et al, 192-3). Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln conclude:
“There was an original text on which the published version of the Protocols was based. This original text was not a forgery. On the contrary, it was authentic. But it had nothing whatever to do with Judaism or an ‘international Jewish conspiracy.’ It issued, rather, from some Masonic organization or Masonically oriented secret society that incorporated the word ‘Sion’.” (Baigent, et al, 194)
Given the Masonic language, one can completely discard the racist contention that the Protocols constitute evidence of an ‘international Jewish conspiracy.’ Nevertheless, the document holds some authenticity:
“The published version of the Protocols is not, therefore, a totally fabricated text. It is, rather, a radically altered text. But despite the alterations certain vestiges of the original version can be discerned’.” (Baigent, et al, 195)
The remnant vestiges of the original text strongly suggest Masonic origins. Having established the Masonic authorship of the Protocols, one may return to issue at hand: Freemasonic involvement in the promotion of Darwinism. Consider the following excerpt from the Protocols, which reads distinctly like a mission statement:
“For them [the masses or cattle] let that play the principal part which we have persuaded them to accept as the dictates of science (theory). It is with this object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press, arousing a blind confidence in these theories. The intellectuals of the goyim [the masses or cattle] will puff themselves up with their knowledge and without any logical verification of it will put into effect all the information available from science, which our Agentur specialists have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their minds in the direction we want.”
Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism [emphasis added], Marxism, and Nietzsche-ism (reprint in Cooper, 274-5).
In addition to establishing the Lodge’s official sanction of Darwinism, this excerpt also reveals a direct relationship between Marxism, Nietzsche-ism, and evolutionary theory.
It was the grandfather of Aldous Huxley, T.H. Huxley, who would act as the ‘official spokesman for the recluse Darwin’ (White, 268). Many years later, Aldous would propose a ‘scientific dictatorship’ in Brave New World Revisited. Whether Aldous made this proposition on a whim or was penning a concept that had circulated within the Huxley family for years cannot be determined. Given the family’s oligarchical tradition, the latter assertion remains a definite possibility. Yet, there may be a deeper Freemasonic connection, suggesting that the concept of a ‘scientific dictatorship’ may have originated within the Lodge.
T.H. Huxley was a Freemason and, with no apparent achievements to claim as his own, was made a Fellow of the Royal Society at the age of 26 (Daniel, 34). T.H. Huxley tutored Freemason H.G. Wells, who would later teach Huxley’s two grandsons, Julian and Aldous. Both Julian and Aldous were Freemasons (Daniel, 147). Given this continuity of Freemasonic tutelage within the Huxley family, it is a definite possibility that the Huxlian concept of a ‘scientific dictatorship’ is really Masonic. Considering Freemason H.G. Wells’ endorsement of a ‘scientific dictatorship,’ which he called a ‘Technocracy,’ this is highly likely.
The rest is history. With the publicity campaigns of the Royal Society and the avid defense of evolution apologist T.H. Huxley, Darwin’s theory would be disseminated and popularized. The seed had taken root and, in the years to come, numerous permutations of the elite’s ‘scientific dictatorship’ would emerge.
Science Fiction: A Means of Predictive Programming
Aldous Huxley first presented the ‘scientific dictatorship’ to the public imagination in his book Brave New World. In Dope, Inc., associates of political dissident Lyndon LaRouche claim that Huxley’s book was actually a ‘mass appeal’ organizing document written ‘on behalf of one-world order’ (Dope, Inc., 538). The book also claims the United States is the only place where Huxley’s ‘science fiction classic’ is taught as an allegorical condemnation of fascism. If this is true, then the ‘scientific dictatorship’ presented within the pages of his 1932 novel Brave New World is a thinly disguised roman a’ clef – a novel that thinly veils real people or events – awaiting tangible enactment.
Such is often the case with ‘science fiction’ literature. According to researcher Michael Hoffman, this literary genre is instrumental in the indoctrination of the masses into the doctrines of the elite.
“Traditionally, ‘science fiction’ has appeared to most people as an adolescent genre, the province of time-wasting fantasies. This has been the great strength of this genre as a vehicle for the inculcation of the ideology favored by the Cryptocracy. As J.H. Towsen points out in Clowns, only when people think they are not buying something can the real sales pitch begin. While it is true that with the success of NASA’s Gemini space program and the Apollo moon flights more serious attention and respectability was accorded ‘science fiction,’ nonetheless in its formative seeding time, from the late 19th century through the 1950s, the predictive program known as ‘science fiction’ had the advantage of being derided as the solitary vice of misfit juveniles and marginal adults.” (Hoffman, 205)
Thus, ‘science fiction’ is a means of conditioning the masses to accept future visions that the elite wish to tangibly enact. [Ed. Note: SF also widely uses Darwinian notions and language to project a fantastic future. This is another area of potential research.] This process of gradual and subtle inculcation is dubbed ‘predictive programming.’ Hoffman elaborates: ‘Predictive programming works by means of the propagation of the illusion of an infallibly accurate vision of how the world is going to look in the future’ (Hoffman, 205). Memes are instilled through the circulation of ‘mass appeal’ documents under the guise of ‘science fiction’ literature. Once subsumed on a cognitive level, these memes become self-fulfilling prophecies, embraced by the masses and outwardly approximated through the efforts of the elite.
If the concept of ‘predictive programming’ seems fantastic, consider the case of H.G. Wells. Wells was mentored by T.H. Huxley, grandfather of Aldous. In turn, Wells would tutor Aldous and his brother, Julian. All of these men were members of the Freemasonic Lodge (the significance of which will be revealed shortly). Wells would author several ‘mass appeal’ tracts disguised as science fiction novels. Most notable of these novels was The Shape of Things to Come. Researcher Jim Keith offered the following assessment of Wells’ The Shape of Things to Come:
“Interestingly, deceptively, the book is presented as a work of science fiction, but within its pages is Wells’ best guess of how the New World Order would come to pass, from a 1930s perspective.”
While primarily a work of propaganda that pushes the one-world worldview of Wells and other internationalists during the first half of this century, the book is particularly revealing in that it also exposes many of the strategies that are to be employed (Keith, Mind Control, World Control, 13).
Of course, not all of Wells’ prophecies were 100% accurate. In his examination of The Shape of Things to Come, Keith concluded that:
“Wells was no prophet as regards to his timeline, only a science fiction writer privy to the plans of men with an interest in promoting the coming of the dictatorial world-state. His crystal ball is somewhat cloudy on certain details.”– Keith, Mind Control, World Control, 16
However, Wells’ novel did exhibit a strange degree of precision. Jim Keith enumerated the various instances of uncanny accuracy in Wells’ The Shape of Things to Come. Among one of the synchronicities Keith found in the text was Wells’ description of the elite’s primary apparatus for the amalgamation of the world’s economic systems:
“Not surprisingly Wells places the City of London – the international center of banking culture – and its financial credit as responsible for knitting together world economic life over the previous hundred years. With these innovations in communications and finance, but also with the frustrations and wars inherent (so he says) in the existence of independent national states and sovereignties, came about the gradual dawning of the idea of the World-state.”– Keith, Mind Control, World Control, 14
Another instance of uncanny accuracy was Wells’ prognostications concerning a second global war and a proliferation of infectious diseases:
“Wells has World War II beginning in 1940 in Poland, over an imagined slight taken by a Nazi over the actions of a Pole of Jewish origin. He characterizes World War II as it was, as an orgy of violence, and has the fighting end in 1949 – staying remarkably close to the actual dates of the conflict – only to be followed by another scourge, that of rampant disease, ‘The Raid of the Germs.’”
Given the present-day climate of AIDS, Ebola, Mad Cow disease, and other resistant viral strains – and the persistent rumors of the military engineering of those same diseases – perhaps Wells’ dating in this particular should have been moved forward a few years (Keith, Mind Control, World Control, 16).
One of the most elucidating revelations found in The Shape of Things to Come was the group that Wells claimed would be central to the formation of a one-world government:
“Wells places responsibility for the creation of the New World Order in the lap of scientists of the future, the group he dubs the ‘Technocracy’.” – Keith, Mind Control, World Control, 16
Wielding ‘ostensible control over the knowable,’ the scientists of this ‘Technocracy’ would implement a Fabian strategy of ‘gradual ideological assimilation’ (Keith, World Control, Mind Control, 16-17). Incrementally, this network of scientists would engineer the amalgamation of nation-states into a global government. Again, the Huxlian theme of a ‘scientific dictatorship’ emerges. This is the future that the masses have been conditioned to accept through predictive programming.
The Sirius Connection
In Morals and Dogma, 33rd Degree Freemason Albert Pike bestows special honor upon Sirius, a heavenly body that ‘still glitters in our Lodges as the Blazing Star’ (Pike, 486). Indeed, Sirius represents a foundational axiom of the Masonic Craft. Pike explains that the star is: ”an emblem of the Divine Truth, given by God to the first men, and preserved amid all the vicissitudes of ages in the traditions and teachings of Masonry’ (Pike, 136). As Pike continues, he reveals that Sirius has also held numerous other appellations: ‘The Blazing Star in our Lodges, we have already said, represent Sirius, Anubis, or Mercury, Guardian and Guide of Souls’ (Pike, 506).
Whatever its name, the star represents an entity of great esoteric significance to Freemasonry:
“In the old Lectures they said: ‘The Blazing Star or Glory in the center refers us to that Grand Luminary the Sun, which enlightens the Earth , and by its genial influence dispenses blessings to mankind’.” (Pike, 506)
A little later, Pike reiterates: ”the Blazing Star has been regarded as an emblem of Omniscience, or the All-Seeing Eye, which to the Ancients was the Sun’ (Pike, 506). Recall that, before the external characteristics of the oligarchs’ control apparatus were cosmetically altered to present a ‘scientific dictatorship,’ the elite ruled through institutionalized Sun worship (Keith, Saucers of the Illuminati, 78-79). Within these statements, Pike provides a brief glimpse of the god of Freemasonry. Although the topographical features of its theocracy have changed, the deity has remained the same and his identity is associated with the star called Sirius.
According to Pike, Sirius was responsible for imparting numerous innovations to mankind:
“He was Sirius or the Dog-Star, the friend and counselor of Osiris, and the inventor of language, grammar, astronomy, surveying, arithmetic, music, and medical science; the first maker of laws; and who taught the worship of the Gods, and the building of temples.” (Pike, 376)
It is interesting to note that, among his various contributions, this Freemasonic deity was responsible for the introduction of several forms of science. Does Sirius also represent the Lodge’s ‘ostensible control over the knowable?’ Is the Dog-Star a symbol of the elite’s ‘scientific dictatorship?’ Michael Hoffman further elaborates on the identity of Sirius:
“The mythical Satanic bringer of civilization to Earth was supposed to be an alien from the star system Sirius, around whom the Egyptians and all subsequent Hermetic systems constructed their elaborate and obsessive religio-astronomic observances. This star Sirius also served as an astronomic secret code, an allegory of the illusory quality and inherent ‘trickiness’ of the material world.” (Hoffman, 26-27)
This Freemasonic mythology of extraterrestrial intervention in human evolution may be poised for a return. Given the impossibility of spontaneous generation, Darwinism has faced a major obstacle to its unquestioned primacy. Recognizing this obstacle, scientific materialist Francis Crick presented a theory bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Sirius myth. According to Crick, technologically advanced extraterrestrials ‘seeded’ the Earth with life billions of years ago. Whether Crick was privy to the occult doctrines of the elite or was simply following the natural course of Darwinism’s memetic metastasis, one thing is certain, he and other proponents of similar ‘extraterrestrial intervention’ theories are paving the way for the re-introduction of Freemasonic mysticism to mainstream science.
There is a distinct possibility that the agentur of the elite are already in the process of facilitating the re-introduction of this myth. With the voracity of Darwinism in question, the effectiveness of this meme has been declining and, with it, the influence of the ruling class. Of course, this is something that the elite cannot allow to happen. Consider the following account of Linda Moulton Howe. During a meeting with Richard Doty, an intelligence officer with the United States military, Howe was presented with a briefing paper regarding alien visitation. In its body, Howe read an interesting claim regarding the crumbling theory of Darwinism: ‘It stated that all questions and mysteries about the evolution of Homo Sapiens on this planet had been answered and that project was closed’ (Howe, 151).
How convenient! By what means did these extraterrestrials facilitate the evolutionary process? Reiterating the basic contentions of Crick, the paper stated that:
“’these ETs have come at various intervals in the Earth ’s history to manipulate DNA in already existing terrestrial primates and perhaps in other life forms as well. To the best of my memory, the time intervals for this DNA manipulation specifically listed in the briefing paper were 25,000, 15,000, 5,000, and 2,500 years ago.” (Howe, 151)
Faced with the impossibility of spontaneous generation and the inexorable collapse of Darwinism, the elite could now be invoking an ‘extraterrestrial intervention’ myth cribbed from their own doctrines. Given Richard Doty’s military intelligence connections, this remains a very real possibility. The Freemasonic doctrine of Sirius has circulated within military intelligence groups for quite some time. According to researcher James Shelby Downard, there exists a cult of Sirius adherents at the highest levels of the CIA (Keith, Saucers of the Illuminati, 49). Researcher Jim Keith elaborates:
“He cites as one of their ritual locations the telescope viewing room of the Palomar Observatory in California. There, he says, the adepts of the Sirius-military intelligence cult enact rituals in the telescopically-focused light of the Dog Star, in imitation of the Egyptian priesthood, astral rays bathing the viewing chamber and the participants when the telescope is aimed Sirius-ward.” – Keith, Saucers of the Illuminati, 49
Keith proceeds to cite the case of military intelligence officer Michael Aquino:
“Utter madness? Tell that to Colonel Michael Aquino of U.S. military intelligence, the admitted head of the satanic Temple of Set, a deity [Set] identified in occultism with Sirius. Aquino makes no bones about the fact that he is the head of his offshoot of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, known to draw many of its leaders from military circles. Again, we see the strange conjunction of Sirius, occultism, and military intelligence.” – Keith, Saucers of the Illuminati, 49
Those who comprise this ‘strange conjunction’ could also be responsible for the perpetration of a disinformation campaign, derivative of Masonic doctrine and designed to maintain the waning dominance of Darwinism.
Darwinism Dismantled
Providing a complete and comprehensive delineation of the various concepts constituting Darwinism is a daunting task. The theory itself is a dense amalgam of ‘isms,’ thinly veiled occult concepts, philosophical doctrines, and ideologies. Again, Tennenbaum’s statement that Darwinism ‘is based on absurdly irrational propositions, which did not come from scientific observations, but were artificially introduced from the outside, for political-ideological reasons’ seems succinct and accurate. Yet, with what outside sources do these ‘absurdly irrational propositions’ find their proximate origins?
One of the major influences on Darwin was Thomas Malthus, an Anglican clergyman who had received the blessings of French deist Jean-Jacques Rousseau and radical empiricist David Hume (Keynes, 99). Malthus authored Essay on the Principle of Population, a treatise premised upon the thesis: ‘Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetic ratio’ (Malthus, 6). Although Malthus articulated his observations in succinct mathematical equations, the labyrinthine and complex machinations comprising the natural order typically defy such overly simplistic reductionism. Nonetheless, Malthus concluded
that society should adopt certain social policies to prevent the human population from growing disproportionately larger than the food supply.
Malthus’ genocidal policies specifically targeted the poor. For instance, one of his proposals suggested the implementation of the following measures:
“Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country, we should build our villages near stagnant pools, and particularly encourage settlement in all marshy and unwholesome situations. But above all, we should reprobate specific remedies for ravaging diseases; and those benevolent, but much mistaken men, who have thought they were doing a service to mankind by projecting schemes for the total extirpation of particular disorders.” (Malthus, 412)
Through the promotion of hygienically unsound practices amongst impoverished populations, Malthus believed that the ‘undesirable elements’ of the human herd could be naturally culled by various maladies. The spread of disease could be further assisted through discriminative vaccination and zoning programs. Yet, amongst one of Malthus’ most shocking proposals was his suggestion concerning children:
“We are bound in justice and honor formally to disclaim the right of the poor to support. To this end, I should propose a regulation be made declaring that no child born’ should ever be entitled to parish assistance’ The [illegitimate] infant is comparatively speaking, of little value to society, as others will immediately supply its place’ All children beyond what would be required to keep up the population to this [desired] level, must necessarily perish, unless room be made for them by the deaths of grown persons.” (Malthus, 411, 430-1)
The dictum underpinning Malthus’ logic would later be reiterated as ‘survival of the fittest.’ According to researcher Ian Taylor, the metastasis of this dictum ‘can be traced from Condorcet to Malthus, to Spencer, to Wallace, and to Darwin’ (Taylor, 65).
Another one of the many constituent worldviews comprising Darwinism is Hegelianism. According to philosopher Georg Hegel, a pantheistic world spirit was directing ‘an ongoing developmental (evolutionary) process in nature, including humanity,’ which bodied itself forth as a ‘dialectical struggle between positive and negative entities.’ This conflict always resulted in a ‘harmonious synthesis’ (Taylor, 381-2). The same dialectical framework is present in Darwinism.
In Circle of Intrigue, occult researcher Texe Marrs reveals the Hegelian structure intrinsic to Darwinian evolution. The organism (thesis) comes into conflict with nature (antithesis) resulting in a newly enhanced species (synthesis), the culmination of the evolutionary process (Marrs, Circle of Intrigue, 127). Of course, in such a world of ongoing conflict, violence and bloodshed are central to progress. Thus, Darwin’s theory ‘gave credence to the Hegelian notion that human culture had ascended from brutal beginnings’ (Taylor, 386).
Yet, Darwinism’s roots go deeper than Hegelianism, returning to an esoteric source that has been there since the beginning. Hegel’s ideas did not originate with himself, but Fichte (Sutton, America’s Secret Establishment, 34). Who was Fichte? Antony Sutton reveals that he was a ‘Freemason, almost certainly Illuminati, and certainly promoted by the Illuminati’ (Sutton, America’s Secret Establishment, 34). In fact, Hegel’s dialectical logic reiterates the Masonic dictum :Ordo Ab Chao (Order out of chaos). Again, it seems that the bedrock upon which Darwinism rests is Freemasonry, a channel for elitist interests.
The French Revolution: An Abortive Scientific Dictatorship
According to academia’s officially sanctioned historians, the French Revolution was little more than a rebellion of the commoner against a corrupt aristocracy and religious institution. However, in Essays on the French Revolution, Lord Acton made an interesting observation:
“The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization. The managers remain studiously concealed and masked; but there is no doubt about their presence from the first.” (Reed, 136)
Who were the ‘studiously concealed and masked managers’ that orchestrated the French Revolution? In Morals and Dogma, Albert Pike revealed that it was Freemasonry that ‘aided in bringing about the French Revolution’ (Pike, 24). Indeed, the French Revolution represented the first full-scale attempt to tangibly enact the Masonic vision of a ‘scientific dictatorship.’
The Lunar Society, which was the precursor to the Freemasonic Royal Society, was intimately connected to the revolutionary movement in France. Freemason Benjamin Franklin acted as the ‘shuttle diplomat between the French and English Utopian idealists.’ The son of James Watt was accused of being a French agent by Edmund Burke in the British House of Commons. Joseph Priestley had pledged his wholehearted support to the revolutionary French National Assembly. Fellow Lunar Society member James Keir hosted a dinner to commemorate the fall of the Bastille. Most notably, Freemason and Lunar Society founder Erasmus Darwin actively supported the Jacobins (Taylor, 56).
Who were the Jacobins? William Hoar reveals that they were ‘agents of the Bavarian-bred Illuminati who operated out of the Club Breton” (p. 2).
The French Revolution exhibited all of the hallmarks of a ‘scientific dictatorship’:
A humanistic philosophy emphasizing man’s evolutionary ascent towards apotheosis: After the Legislative Assembly rejected God as the object of man’s worship and praise, the National Convention paraded a woman representing Athena from the convention hall to the chapel of Notre Dame. There, the Goddess of Reason took her place on the high altar (Scott, 306). In a Masonic context, this ritualistic enthronement of human reason represented the unification of man’s consciousness with the Omniscient, which is the ultimate end of evolution (Wilmhurst, 94). In other words, human reason became the ultimate source of moral precepts and man became God.
A Malthusian depopulation campaign: Under the direction of Illuminist Robespierre, the new revolutionary government began carrying out a massive depopulation campaign that became known as the Terror. While Robespierre’s goal of eliminating 15 million ‘useless eaters’ was never realized, the Terror was successful in claiming the lives of some 300,000 Frenchmen, 297,000 of which were members of the lower and middle working classes. It should come as little surprise that Thomas Malthus was educated under the combined tutelage of two supporters of the French Revolution: Gilbert Wakefield and Lunar Society member Joseph Priestley (Taylor, 59).
A Hegelian framework: Recall the Hegelian structure intrinsic to evolution (Marrs, 127). In hopes of accelerating France’s evolution towards a ‘scientific dictatorship,’ the architects of the revolution promulgated a classic Hegelian dialectic: the bourgeoisie against the proletariat. The synthesis of these two polar extremes resulted in the subversion of individualism and the maintenance of class stratification.
Of course, the rest is history. The revolution swiftly degenerated into a bloodbath and many of the conspirators were slaughtered by the very mobs they had created. Yet, the esoteric symbol of this abortive ‘scientific dictatorship’ remains. Long after she was enthroned in the cathedral of Notre Dame, Athena was transplanted upon new shores. Occult researcher Texe Marrs explains in Dark Majesty:
Today, statues of this Illuminist Goddess of Reason are found throughout the U.S.A.; one stands astride the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Another is atop the dome of the Capitol building in Austin, Texas. Her statue has been erected in town squares and city parks. But the most fantastic idol of the Goddess of Reason, the most majestic statue of the pagan lady who bears the torch of light, who illuminates, uplifts, and frees mankind, is found in New York’s harbor.
Towering above the shimmering but polluted waters, she holds in her outreached arm and hand a torch of fire and light. A gift of the Masonic Order, the modern inheritors of the Illuminati heritage, the Statue of Liberty was sculptured by Frederic Bartholdi, a member of the Masonic Lodge of Alsace-Lorraine in Paris, France. The statue is an esoteric idol of great significance to the secret societies plotting the New World Order.
Did the French Revolution truly end or did it simply change venues? Has America been designated the new headquarters of the elite’s next ‘scientific dictatorship?’ One thing is certain, although she is no longer worshipped in the cathedral of Notre Dame, the Goddess of Reason has never relinquished her crown.
The Rise of the Modern Scientific Dictatorship
Darwinism shares the Hegelian framework with two other belief systems. In The Secret Cult of the Order, Antony Sutton states: ‘Both Marx and Hitler have their philosophical roots in Hegel’ (Sutton, 118). It is here that one arrives at the Hegelian nexus where Darwin, Marx, and Hitler intersect. Recall that Nietzsche-ism, Darwinism and Marxism were all mentioned together in the Protocols of the Wise Men of Sion. This was no accident. Nazism (a variant of fascism) sprung from Nietzsche-ism (Carr, XIV). Communism sprung from Marxism. Both were based upon Hegelian principles. Moreover, both were ‘scientific dictatorships’ legitimized by the ‘science’ of Darwinism. Ian Taylor elaborates:
“However, Fascism or Marxism, right wing or left – all these are only ideological roads that lead to Aldous Huxley’s brave new world [i.e. scientific dictatorship], while the foundation for each of these roads is Darwin’s theory of evolution. Fascism is aligned with biological determinism and tends to emphasize the unequal struggle by which those inherently fittest shall rule. Marxism stresses social progress by stages of revolution, while at the same time it paradoxically emphasizes peace and equality. There should be no illusions; Hitler borrowed from Marx. The result is that both Fascism and Marxism finish at the same destiny – totalitarian rule by the elite.” (Taylor, 411)
The interest of both Hitler and Marx in Darwinian evolution is a matter of history. While he was living in London, Karl Marx attended lectures on evolutionary theory delivered by T.H. Huxley. Recognizing the odd synchronicity between the communist concept of class war and the Darwinian principle of natural selection, Marx sent Darwin a copy of Das Kapital in 1873. Enamored of evolution, Marx asked Darwin the permission to dedicate his next volume to him six year later. Troubled by the fact that it would upset certain members of his family to have the name of Darwin associated with an atheistic polemic, Charles politely declined the offer (Taylor, 381).
Numerous authors have established firm connections between Darwinism and Hitler’s Nazism. Darwinian Arthur Keith documented the strong links between Hitler’s racialist goals and the doctrine of evolution (Taylor, 409). In fact, in Evolution and Ethics, Keith candidly stated: ‘The German Fuhrer as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution’ (Keith, Evolution and Ethics, 230).
In an analysis of Mein Kampf, contemporary author Werner Maser reveals that Darwin was the crucible for Hitler’s ‘notions of biology, worship, force, and struggle, and of his rejection of moral causality in history.’ Finally, researcher Alfred Kelly provides a comprehensive history of Darwinism’s popularization in Germany (Taylor, 409).
Returning to the Hegelian nexus that binds Darwinism, Marxism, and Nazism, both the fascist and communist ‘scientific dictatorships’ represented tangible enactments of the dialectical framework resident in evolutionary theory. Marx was greatly influenced by Hegel (Taylor, 381). The concept of class struggle, which paralleled Darwinian natural selection, resulted from Marx’s redirection of the Hegelian dialectic towards the socioeconomic realm. The proletariat (thesis) comes into conflict with the bourgeois (antithesis), resulting in a classless Utopia (synthesis). Marx, however, rejected the concept of a world spirit and relocated the revolution’s causal source within the proletariat itself.
The same Hegelian framework was resident within Hitler’s genocidal Final Solution. The German people (thesis) came into conflict with the Jew (antithesis) in hopes of creating the Aryan (synthesis). In both the case of communism and Nazism, the results were enormous bloodbaths. This is the natural consequence of Darwinian thinking and the legacy of the ‘scientific dictatorship.’
In applying the ideas of Darwin, both communists and fascists have murdered millions. Both of these groups find their origins in the elite (the Illuminati), who are still pursuing the same objectives today. According to the Darwinian mantra of ‘survival of the fittest,’ victory will demand bloodshed. Humanity may stand to inherit the ‘scientific dictatorship’s’ bloody legacy in the very near future.
Eugenics and the Coming Global Scientific Dictatorship
Integral to Aldous’ Brave New World is the practice of eugenics, which is closely aligned with Darwinism. Eugenics finds its origins with Darwin’s cousin, Sir Francis Galton. Galton first introduced the concept of eugenics in Hereditary Genius, a racist polemic advocating a system of selective breeding for the purposes of providing ‘more suitable races or strains of blood a better chance of prevailing over the less suitable’ (Galton, 24). In truth, Galton was not the originator of this concept. Sordid traditions of selective breeding and inbreeding had long been practiced by the ruling class to maintain the ‘genetic purity’ of their future stock. Galton merely assigned this tradition the appellation of ‘eugenics’ and popularized it as a legitimate science.
In fact, this very same tradition was practiced by Darwin himself. In hopes of maintaining the ‘genetic superiority’ of his bloodline, Darwin married the youngest granddaughter of his maternal father. Researcher Ian Taylor reveals the results of this inbreeding project:
“Darwin’s idea of inbreeding to produce superior stock can be seen to be a complete disaster in the case of his own ten children. Of the ten, one girl, Mary, died shortly after birth; another girl, Anne, died at the age of ten years; his eldest daughter, Henrietta, had a serious and prolonged breakdown at fifteen in 1859. Three of his six sons suffered such frequent illness that Darwin regarded them as semi-invalids while his last son, Charles Jr., was born mentally retarded and died in 1858, nineteen months after birth.” (Taylor, 127)
Yet, in spite of eugenics’ historical failure, the concept was vigorously promulgated within the scientific community. In 1901, the statistics department of London’s University College became the headquarters for the Eugenics Education Society. Motivated by Galton’s vision of a future utopia ruled by a genetically engineered elite, the Eugenics Society would grow into a successful political movement. Aldous Huxley’s eugenically regimented ‘scientific dictatorship’ presented in Brave New World was drawing closer to realization. Given his role in the tangible approximation of Aldous’ roman a’ clef, it is appropriate that one of the many accolades the scientific community bestowed upon Galton was the Huxley medal (Taylor, 405).
However, the agenda of Eugenical regimentation required an international machination by which it could be promulgated globally. That international machination was the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Julian Huxley, brother of Aldous, was the first director general of UNESCO and penned the organization’s manifesto in 1947. Entitled UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy, this document presents the following mission statement:
“Thus even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.” (Huxley, UNESCO)
As the unthinkable becomes thinkable, the fictional becomes factual and Brave New World becomes a reality. In 1977, author Claire Chambers clearly delineated the UN’s role as a global scientific dictatorship:
“Since its inception, the U.N. has advanced a world-wide program of population control, scientific human breeding [i.e., eugenics], and Darwinism.” (Chambers, 3)
In Brave New World Revisited, Aldous Huxley prognosticated: “the twenty-first century’ will be the era of World Controllers” (Huxley, 25). Aldous Huxley’s ‘scientific dictatorship’ may not be confined to the pages of classic literature for much longer.”
