ConCERNed With Saturn

Coming Soon!

As I began to wrap up this God vs god section, my research took me in some very interesting directions. But ultimately it all funneled into one place on the earth - in our present day. That place is a scientific research facility located on the Franco–Swiss border near Geneva called, CERN. It is here - believe it or not - that so many of the legends and myths of the gods seem to come together for one final assault against the God of the Hebrew Bible.

There is so much I could write about here, but I'm going to try and give just some of the highlights of what I have found. My prayer is that it prompts you to do your own research to dig deeper, because this is an extremely deep rabbit hole indeed! It is important to explore those depths because I think a lot of answers can be found there regarding the Last Days and what I believe will happen during the second half of The Seven Year Tribulation Period - especially as it pertains to the gods of this world and to Nimrod in particular. So let's get started...

Despite what Al Gore may have claimed, it was really CERN that was responsible for creating the World Wide Web that we call the Internet. [1]This is extremely interesting for a variety of reasons. Let's start with the shortened version of the World Wide Web that we are all familiar with - the "www."

In Hebrew, there is no "w." However, that particular English letter is often associated with the Hebrew letter "Vav." What was once of only passing interest to me is that the Vav also has a numerical value of 6. Thus, "www" would equate to "666."

Further, if it is true that God's name is the YHVH or YHWH (Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey), usually pronounced as "Yahovah" or "Yahweh" but sometimes as "Yahuwah." With it's shortened form as "Yahu," then could it be that Yahoo, the search engine with the same phonetic sounding name (www.yahoo.com) would equate to the 666 god [of] commerce? That may be a bit of a stretch, but I do find it interesting nonetheless.

One thing I have been seeing with regard to the occult, is they love to do things out in the open, and everything is intentional. There are no "coincidences." That being the case, as I have looked deeper into CERN, and as I point some of the things out that I've been finding here in this blog, I think you will begin to raise an eyebrow just as I have, tilt your head to one side and go, "Hmmmmmm. Maybe there really is something to that whole 'www' = '666' thing after all."

Earlier, I said that this whole "www" as "666" idea was only of passing interest to me because in the 42 years of my life up to this point, I have seen a lot of things that seemed to point to the "Mark of the Beast" and that was just one of many. For starters, there was the Bar Code (click pic to enlarge).

Then, in keeping with the "Vav theory," there is also Monster drink's logo which admittedly raises an eyebrow considering the name, the three stylized Vavs and the ingredients of this drink. Clearly, this had to have been intentional.

We can all probably pull out other examples of logos, designs and names that appear to be associated with the infamous "666" set of numbers. But much of what we'd find would be based on speculation. Even if it's good speculation, we have to admit that because the Scriptures don't tell us exactly what those numbers will look like or be about. But I'm going to explore some ideas here in this blog for your consideration.

Looking at CERN's logo certainly gives us yet another reason to speculate. Right there, we can see what looks like three sixes sitting on top of one backward six. Just like with the Bar Codes and Monster drink logo, we can look at CERN's logo and say, "Hmmmm. That's interesting." But is it more than just interesting? Is it more than just a coincidence? Is this an extremely intentional "sign" concerning the nature of this organization?

As CERN became more and more popular in the mainstream media, news and entertrainment worlds, I began to notice some very strange and frankly, scary things about about this place that claims to be dedicated to scientific exploration. They are perhaps best known for their Hadron Supercollider. Just start Googling what their intentions are with this thing. It really makes you wonder how in the world the people of this world are even allowing these scientists to mess with our planet, the universe and the very fabric of time and space the way they are!

I submit to you that they aren't just working on "scientific endeavors." There is definitely a spiritual component to CERN. And if you really need proof, look at what they put out in front of their headquarters!

They put a massive statue of Lord Shiva dancing on the back of a demon-dwarf-man! Shiva is the god of destruction! Being that he is the god who is known as the Destroyer, Bible scholars should take notice, because that is the same name used to describe the entity that comes up out of the Abyss when the Fifth Trumpet of Revelation is sounded. The Hebrews called him, Abaddon. The Greeks called him Apollyon. Is this just a coincidence? I don't think so!

We must ask the question, "What is a huge statue of a Hindu god doing out in front of a place of science anyway???" Can you imagine the uproar if they put a statue of Yeshua out front? Or the Ten Commandments? But no one seems to have a problem with Shiva being there! Well we should!

Shiva is part of the Hindu version of their Divine Trinity known as the Trimurti:

The Trimurti is a concept in Hinduism "in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahmā the creator, Vishnu the maintainer or preserver, and Śhiva the destroyer or transformer,"[1][2] These three deities have been called "the Hindu triad" [3] or the "Great Trinity,",[4] often addressed as "Brahma-Vishnu-Maheshwara."

- Wikipedia

Are we starting to get conCERNed yet? When depicted in the above form, Shiva is known as Nataraja. Note what Wikipedia has to say about this particular character in Hindu mythology and the meaning of this statue:

Nataraja or Nataraj (Hindustani: The Lord (or King) of Dance; Tamil: (Kooththan)) is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the cosmic dancer who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for god Brahma to start the process of creation.

The sculpture is usually made in bronze, with Shiva dancing in an aureole of flames, lifting his left leg (and in rare cases, the right leg) and balancing over a demon or dwarf (Apasmara) who symbolizes ignorance. It is a well known sculptural symbol in India and popularly used as a symbol of Indian culture.

The two most common forms of Shiva's dance are the Lasya (the gentle form of dance), associated with the creation of the world, and the Tandava (the violent and dangerous dance), associated with the destruction of weary worldviews - weary perspectives & lifestyles. In essence, the Lasya and the Tandava are just two aspects of Shiva's nature; for he destroys in order to create, tearing down to build again.
[emphasis mine]

Wikipedia continues to describe the significance of each item and pose depicted in the statue:

What is CERN trying to do? They claim to be smashing atoms in order to re-create the Big Bang so that they can find the the "God particle" - also known as the Higgs boson! Hello??

Meet the Large Hadron Collider

It is a $4 billion instrument that scientists at the European Center of Nuclear Research, or CERN, hope to use to re-create the big bang — believed to be the event that caused the beginning of the universe — by crashing protons together at high speed.

This is pretty scary stuff! Check out this article that was literally published the same day I am writing this blog (May 18, 2011):

The search for the so-called "God particle", which would explain why matter has mass and there is gravity in the Universe, could be over by the end of next year, a leading scientist involved in the project predicts.

Rolf-Dieter Heuer, the director general of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern), near Geneva, said that if the sub-atomic particle known as the Higgs boson exists, as theory predicts it does, then Cern's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment will detect it by the end of 2012.

That's a rather curious target date don't you think? What is everyone talking about these days? December 21, 2012! Their goal is to figure out this "God particle" thing by that date! I'm telling you, the theory I have put forth here regarding the resurrection of Nimrod is starting to look more and more plausible!

CERN describes itself as "The Gateway to the Universe." It is an appropriate name. They are indeed attempting to open up gateways to other dimensions. This was tried once before. Remember? It was called the Tower of Babel. Babel means "the Gate of God." Hold that thought. Now, let's back up and look again at the World Wide Web concept. According to the CERN web site:

The basic idea of the WWW was to merge the technologies of personal computers, computer networking and hypertext into a powerful and easy to use global information system.

Here we have the merging of technology and the collective wisdom of the world connecting through a global information system called a web. There is a very interesting description of just such a thing in chapter 25 of the Book of Isaiah. But to set the stage, let's first back up and take a look at chapter 24 to see what the prophet has to say about the coming destruction of the Earth.

Look! The Lord is about to destroy the earth and make it a vast wasteland. He devastates the surface of the earth and scatters the people. Priests and laypeople, servants and masters, maids and mistresses, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, bankers and debtors—none will be spared. The earth will be completely emptied and looted. The Lord has spoken! The earth mourns and dries up, and the crops waste away and wither. Even the greatest people on earth waste away. The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant. Therefore, a curse consumes the earth. Its people must pay the price for their sin. They are destroyed by fire, and only a few are left alive.

- Isaiah 24:1-3 (NLT) [emphasis mine]

We see here that the earth has to be destroyed because of the sins of its people. They have twisted God's instructions and violated His laws, which has caused a curse to consume the earth. If anything on the planet has the potential to fulfill this description it is CERN! When Shiva does his dance, look at what God tells the prophet Isaiah to write:

Terror and traps and snares will be your lot, you people of the earth. Those who flee in terror will fall into a trap, and those who escape the trap will be caught in a snare. Destruction falls like rain from the heavens; the foundations of the earth shake. The earth has broken up. It has utterly collapsed; it is violently shaken. The earth staggers like a drunk. It trembles like a tent in a storm. It falls and will not rise again, for the guilt of its rebellion is very heavy.

In that day the Lord will punish the gods in the heavens and the proud rulers of the nations on earth. They will be rounded up and put in prison. They will be shut up in prison and will finally be punished.

- Isaiah 24:17-22 (NLT) [emphasis mine]

After the destruction of the world by fire, we read something very interesting in the next chapter of Isaiah. A feast is prepared and everyone makes merry. But then we are told:

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

- Isaiah 25:7-8 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

The New Living Translation renders verse 7 as:

There he will remove the cloud of gloom, the shadow of death that hangs over the earth.

- Isaiah 25:7 (NLT) [emphasis mine]

What is that all about? I have to give Pastor Doug Riggs credit for bringing this Scripture to my attention. I heard him talk about this "covering," this "veil," the "cloud of doom" covering the earth on a radio program recently. I immediately became very intrigued by this, so I started to dig for myself. Indeed, this is a very interesting passage of prophetic Scripture!

Looking at the structure of the sentence above in Hebrew, we find an interesting combination of words:

The King James renders the Hebrew "paneh" (pe-nei) [Strong's #6440] as "the face" but it has with it the connotation of anger, against, before, defiant among other definitions. The Hebrew word translated as "covering" is the word "lot" or "lut" (hal-lo-vt). There's not much to go on with that word by itself. But notice the same word repeats itself in the sentence [Strong's #3875 (lot) and Strong's #3874 (lut)]. This carries the notion that it is a tightly wrapped covering or envelope that is apparently surrounding the earth. The word "meccekah" (mas-se-cha) [Strong's # 4541] translated as "the veil" indicates that it is "a libation, molten metal or image." A libation is a ritual drink offering to a god or spirit in memory of the dead. And the word "nasak" (naw-sak" [Strong's #5259] translated as "stretched" means "to weave" as in to spread as something interwoven... like a web. So, what we have here is something metal tightly wrapped around the earth that seems to be facing it or opposing it, woven like a web. Could this be a prophetic vision of the wire entangled globe we call the World Wide Web? A creation that enables "faces," imagery and information to beam at our faces through our computer monitors? Is this how the False Prophet gives power to the "image of the Beast" in the Book of Revelation?

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

- Revelation 13:15 (KJV)

Could this "web" be tied to system of satellites - or even "space ships?" - over the earth and work similar to Anna's "bliss" in the TV series, V? If so, it's not hard to see why the New Living Translation rendered Isaiah's passage as "the cloud of doom, the shadow of death that hangs over the earth."

Just think about the terminology we use on a daily basis: "World Wide Web," "network," "on-line" and "Internet." Apart from any discussion of the interconnected computer medium we use to browse for information, each of those words contain within them the connotation of a trap or a snare - usually specifically designed to capture prey in any other context. That should make us pause for a moment and truly think about what the "World Wide Web" really is.

I don't know exactly what Isaiah is talking about, but it certainly seems to fit our modern technology - and specifically this "web" that CERN created. If my suspicions are true, then the "www" - "666" connection begins to make even more sense. I believe the World Wide Web has also fulfilled one of Daniel's prophecies concerning the Last Days:

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

- Daniel 12:4 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

The Internet has definitely helped knowledge to increase exponentially since the day it was created. Now, literally anything you want to know about is accessible at the touch of a button! Whether you are on a computer or using a cell phone, we are able to connect with people all over the planet to share and exchange ideas, thus creating a universal increase in knowledge. I suspect that is not the only reason for the Internet. And this is why I believe it may be what Isaiah and John were referring to in the above passages.

Also worth consideration is the concept that this "global web" idea may be a repeat of something from the distant past:

In The Book of the Hopi's by Frank Waters, there is even a prophecy amongst the Hopi Indians that seems to point to the WWW as a precursor to the End.

"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."

A recent video depicting a FALSE Christ called "Ra-El" has surfaced and is making the on-line rounds in preparation for "something" that is supposed to happen on May 21, 2011. Though I think the claim that "Ra-El" is the Messiah is pure garbage, there is something mentioned in that video that I had not previously considered. Toward the end of it, there is a reference to the "clouds" that the Messiah will appear in as being possibly another reference to the Internet.

"If he appears 'in the clouds' of the Internet, 'every eye will see him,' using the tool by which 'knowledge shall be increased'."

Consider Microsoft's "To the Cloud" commercial:

Personally, I believe the Book of Revelation is talking about Yeshua literally appearing in the clouds of the sky. But I think this "To the Cloud" technology is still an interesting concept to consider. At any rate, all of this started with CERN. And that was simply a setup for much bigger plans.

If we are to take the words of Yeshua concerning the last days being like the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37) to its fullest extent, then not only do we need to look at the 600 years of Noah's life prior to the Flood, but also the 350 years that he lived after the Flood as well. It was during that time that the whole world was united as one in the plains of Shinar, with one common language. The creation of the Internet essentially duplicated that! The world is once again united as one, using the common language of HTML (a term that means, Hyper Text Markup Language). As for human language, the Internet solves that problem as well with tools like BABELfish! Other on-line tools even make the use of the Internet possible for the hearing and sight impaired! So, add that to the list of already completed things neccessary to fulfill Yeshua's prophecy.

But if the world is connected once again in a Babel-like sort of way. What else might be taking place that is similar to those days? Remember the purpose of the Tower of Babel? It was to create a portal from this world into the Heavenly realm! Picking up where we left off earlier, what is CERN doing? They are creating portals through time and space!

The Tower of Babel was known as "the gate of God." CERN is opening up gateways!

The other day I went and saw the movie Thor. All I can say is, WOW! It is absolutely loaded with symbolism and memes that I believe perfectly illustrate Yeshua's warning about the Last Days being as the days of Noah!

!!! WARNING: Spoiler Alert !!! In that movie, there is a portal machine in the realm of Asgard (the Heavenly home of the Norse gods) that enables the gods to travel between worlds. Toward the end of the movie, this machine gets destroyed. Later, Thor approaches the Guardian (a Watcher) and stands beside him at the edge of the "rainbow bridge" that formerly led into the machine. At this point, Thor fears he will never see his beloved Earth-girl again. The two look down through the vastness of time and space toward the Earth and the Guardian smiles. He says that he can still see her and makes the statement that essentially there are always possibilities. Next we see Natalie Portman's (interesting last name) character busily working on the "Einstein-Rosen Bridge" (which theoretically can create a time/space wormhole), in order to help re-open the portal to the realm of her god-boyfriend. !!! END Spoiler Alert !!!

This is totally what I believe is happening with CERN! They are trying to re-open the portal between this world and that of the gods. And speaking of other gods of mythology, in my research, I found some rather interesting tid-bits concerning the name CERN. According to their web site, CERN is an acronym for the French Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire. However, I think there is a deeper, mythological significance to that name.

Believe it or not, there is a character in ancient Wiccan mythology named Cern![2] What is also interesting about this particular myth is how (yet again) it also seems to have direct ties to Nimrod - and the many other myths associated with him. For instance, there is a character in the Wiccan mythology called Lupercus. In the myth, he is known as the Great Golden Wolf. He was born on the night of the Winter Solstice (December 25th) - imagine that!

In ancient Rome, his feast day was known as Lupercalia and it was celebrated on February 15th. This myth is where we get the imagery of Romulus and Remus nursing from a wolf.

Remember the diagram of "Day 4" from the Biblical Timeline of Human History Chart? How interesting that this was all developing while Isaiah was writing the above prophecies!

Something else I find particularly interesting about the Lupercalia festival is that it also seemed to be directly associated with Pan! As we learned in "The Son of God" blog (coming soon), Yeshua made a point of showing this particular "god of shepherds" who the real Shepherd was! Well, like Pan, Lupercus was thought of as a god of shepherds. In fact, Lupercus and Pan are often thought to have been one and the same. If Lupercus is indeed another form of Nimrod, I find this a very intriguing thought indeed.

Regardless, It's truly amazing how all of these myths are tied together, and how the God of the Bible constantly steps in to set the record straight! This should give us courage as we look at the days ahead. God always wins in his battles against the gods of this world!

The Wiccan myth goes on to state that Lupercus was given "twelve labors" to perform in order to prove himself worthy (similar to Thor, Hercules, Gilgamesh and others). These labors are what sends this sun through the signs of the Zodiac in one year. Succeeding at these labors, he was proclaimed a sun god. So, once again we see that this god is exactly the same as so many of the other Nimrod-based gods!

That the story of Lupercus is really another culture's version of essentially the myth of Osiris becomes even more obvious as it progresses. On Easter (the Spring Equinox) while out hunting, he gets struck by lightning and dies. And so he becomes the god of the Underworld - just like Osiris. The only thing that remained of Lupercus was his wolf skin which was found by "another hunter." Remember what we learned about the battle between Esau and Nimrod in the God vs god - Part 3 blog? Esau the hunter, rushed up (like lightning?) and killed Nimrod the mighty hunter. Then, he took "the valuable garments of Nimrod" after he killed him. It's a total match! The Lupercus myth even states that just like Nimrod's "valuable garments" this "pelt of Lupercus" turns out to have magical powers.

But here's where the story gets really interesting. After Lupercus goes into the Underworld, his brother Cern decides to usurp Lupercus' earthly throne as the ruler of this world!

Although in this myth, Cern is the brother of Lupercus, we see a similarity between Lupercus as Nimrod/Osiris and Cern as Tammuz/Horus! And that, at least in my mind, absolutely connects CERN with the Illuminati! But to show just how connected CERN is with the occult, we're going to have to spend some time exploring yet another mythological character first - Saturn!

Saturn and Lupercus seem to have a lot in common, especially when it comes to feasts! The Saturnalia feast of the Winter Solstice (which later became known as Christmas), seems to be closely related to the Lupercalia feast through the Carnival season. Likewise, there appears to be a real strong tie between CERN here on Earth, the planet Saturn and the Hindu gods, which may put the statue of Shiva into greater perspective!

Let's look at the Roman myth of Saturn first. Saturn (known as Cronus in the Greek mythology) was a Titan - the 6th of seven Titans born to the Roman gods Terra (Mother Earth) and Caelus (Father Sky). Right here we must pause and consider that terminology. Is it saying that the "sons of God came unto the daughters or men" - male of the sky coming into a female of the earth? I believe so. Thus, I would place Saturn in the pre-Flood category of Nephilim beings.

The Titans were monstrously huge. For a time, Saturn was known as the ruler of the Universe, that is until Jupiter (Zeus to the Greeks) came along. It should be noted that Jupiter was also the 6th child (hmmm... starting to see a pattern here?).

Wikipedia goes on to describe the epic battle between father and son:

A devastating war that nearly destroyed the Universe ensued between Saturn and his five brothers and Jupiter and his five brothers and sisters. Jupiter persuaded the fifty headed monsters to fight with him which enabled him to make use of their weapons of thunder, lightning and earthquake. He also convinced the Titan Prometheus, who was incredibly wise, and his brother, to join his side. With his forces, Jupiter was victorious and the Olympians reigned supreme. Saturn was, again depending on the source, either castrated or sliced into a thousand pieces with his own sickle (as he had done to his father) and cast into the darkest and deepest part of Tartarus, the underworld. His brothers were imprisoned in Tartarus as well except for Atlas, the strongest Titan, who was given the burden of holding up the sky. [emphasis mine]

Take note of Atlas in the above story. We'll come back to him shortly. For now, I want you to notice that according to the above description we have a hacked up Saturn (missing his penis) in the Underworld, just like Osiris and Lupercus among others who all in some way or another seem to represent good ol' Frankenrod.

The Romans seemed to borrow heavily from the Greeks in their mythology. But just looking at the above description, it appears that we have their version of both Pre and Post-Flood Nephilim - both represented by the number six.

I'd like to make a passing observation here before continuing. As we we see shortly, Saturn/Cronus is often associated with Satan. In my Enter the Greeks blog, I tied Zeus to Lucifer. What I find interesting about these two connections is that the Devil appears to have switched strategies after the Flood. Saturn/Cronus was known for devouring his children when they were born. As a result, he was considered malefic in the magic arts of astrology. Since Jupiter/Zeus overthrew him, he is regarded as "jovial" and benevolent and thus has positive attributes in astrology. Convenient.

As with all ancient myths, the characters, acts and facts can get very convoluted and sometimes quite hard to follow, but let me try to draw some simple parallels together. In the Hindu myths, there is another powerful god named Ravana. Concerning Ravana, Wikipedia describes a similar battle of brothers to that of the Wiccan myth of Lupercus and Cern.

Proceeding to the heavens, Ravana fought and defeated the devas, singling out his brother for particular humiliation. By force he gained command over the devtas, celestials, and the serpent races. At the time of the Ramayana, set several hundred years later, Ravana is shown as dominating all human and divine races - so much so that he can command the Sun's rising and setting.

In a sense, we have here yet another sun god. This is a very interesting character indeed - especially concerning the "serpent races." In this description, Revana seems to have more in common with Cern than with Lupercus. At any rate, in the story of Ravana we can see the Hindu and Roman myths have an overlap of characters.

Remember the Hindu god Hanuman I mentioned in the Nimrod, Abraham, the Pharaohs and Moses blog? Well, here are some more interesting facts about him:

In the Ramayana, Hanuman is said to have rescued Shani, the planet Saturn, from the clutches of Ravana. In gratitude, Shani (Saturn) promised Hanuman that those who prayed him (Hanuman) would be rescued from the painful effects of Saturn, which in Hindu astrology, is said to produce malefic effects on one's life when one is afflicted "negatively" with Saturn.

Another version of the encounter between Lord Hanuman and Shani Bhagavan is that the latter once climbed on to Lord Hanuman's shoulder, implying that he (Hanuman) was coming under the effects of the influence of Shani. At this, Hanuman assumed a large size, and Shani was caught painfully between Hanuman's shoulders and the ceiling of the room they were in. As the pain was unbearable, Shani (Saturn) requested Hanuman to release him, promising that he (Shani) would moderate the malefic effects of his influence on a person praying to Hanuman. Hanuman released Shani thereafter.

- Wikipedia

This may shed even more light on the reasons why President Obama carries this god around with him! The above text says that Hunuman rescued Saturn from the clutches of Ravana. Could it be that Obama thinks he will be safe when CERN (Ravana) "releases" Saturn again? We'll explore this idea furher shortly, so hold that thought as well.

Here in the Hindu myths, we see that Saturn is associated with evil and pain. In many cultures around the world Saturn is equal to the Satan of our Bible. The occult is keenly aware of this as noted by Fritz Springmeier in his book, "Bloodlines of the Illuminati":

“Saturn is an important key to understanding the long heritage this conspiracy has back to antiquity. The city of Rome was originally known as Saturnia or City of Saturn. The Roman Catholic church retains much of the Saturn worship in its ritual. Saturn also relates to Lucifer. In various occult dictionaries Saturn is associated with evil. Saturn was important to the religion of Mithra, and also the Druids.”

Now, let's shift gears and look at the planet Saturn. As we might suspect it is the 6th planet in our solar system! So, just taking the mythology and the planet together, we have 666:

• Saturn was the 6th Titan.
• He was defeated by his 6th child (Jupiter)
• He is the representation of the 6th planet in our solar system.

As if that weren't enough, check out what has recently developed on Saturn's north pole:

A perfect hexagon (six sided shape) cloud formation! What is up with that? Good question. Let's keep digging...

As soon as you start to explore the hexagon as a shape, you will find all sorts of things that will quite frankly, make you upset - especially when you pause to consider the implications of what you find. Take the so-called "Star of David" for instance.

It must be noted first of all that there is no "Star of David" in the Scriptures. In fact, the earliest known appearance of this symbol in a Jewish context is in the third and fourth centuries AD! And it only became popular as a national symbol around the 11th Century AD primarily as the result of Kabbalistic thinking. Wikipedia notes:

The hexagram has been in use as a symbol of Judaism since the 17th century, with precedents in the 14th to 16th centuries in Central Europe, where the Shield of David was partly used in conjunction with the Seal of Solomon (the hexagram) on Jewish flags. Its use probably derives from medieval (11th to 13th century) Jewish protective amulets (segulot).

As best I can tell, the "Start of David" is really of occult origin. I didn't want to admit that, but the more I looked into it, the more I could not deny that fact.

Before I continue, let me say that I do not believe the Jews are evil! Read that again if you must, because I don't want anyone to accuse me of being anti-semetic. The fact is when Isreal became a nation, even the (true) Jewish people did not want that symbol on their flag. They wanted the Menorah. Why? Because this symbol has nothing to do with the God of Israel or His chosen people. As we will soon see, it actually has more to do with Saturn-Satan than God or the (true) nation of Israel!

Looking at the "Star of David" it is not hard to see the number six. In fact, if you really look at it, you will see three sets of them! That being the case, I began to wonder if this could in fact be the "Mark of the Beast." It certainly seems to fit a lot of occult symbolism. But no. Ultimately, I do not believe this is going to be the actual Mark, but I do believe it will have something to do with it. What do I mean by that? Well, let's just say this is a deep rabbit hole with many twists and turns. For now, I ask that you allow me some time to develop this thought a bit further. As stated above, the so-called "Star of David" has nothing to do with David or the Jewish people. It is actually a very ancient symbol associated with many peoples, religions and cults.

In the Hindu faith the hexagram is a mandala symbol called, satkona yantra. It represents nara-narayana, the meditative state of balance achieved between man and God. It is even associated with the Hindu concept of the "Om," and worn as a symbol of perfect balance between Shiva and Shakti - or Yin and Yang.

Wikipedia goes on to describe the use of this symbol in Indic lore, stating:

Within Indic lore, the shape is generally understood to consist of two triangles—one pointed up and the other down—locked in harmonious embrace. The two components are called 'Om' and the 'Hrim' in Sanskrit, and symbolize man's position between earth and sky. The downward triangle symbolizes Shakti, the sacred embodiment of femininity, and the upward triangle symbolizes Shiva, or Agni Tattva, representing the focused aspects of masculinity. The mystical union of the two triangles represents Creation, occurring through the divine union of male and female. The two locked triangles are also known as 'Shanmukha' - the six-faced, representing the six faces of Shiva & Shakti's progeny Kartikeya. This symbol is also a part of several yantras and has deep significance in Hindu ritual worship and history.

In the occult, it is commonly known that to put a curse on someone is to put a "hex" on them. The word "hex" is short for hexagon - the six sided shape. This idea seems to have roots in the precursor to the "Star of David" which was known as the Seal of Solomon (pictured right). The origin of this symbol should give us a clear understanding of its deeper meaning and significance.

The six-pointed star is commonly used both as a talisman and for conjuring spirits in the practice of witchcraft. In the book, The History and Practice of Magic, Vol. 2, the six-pointed star is called the Talisman of Saturn and it is also referred to as the Seal of Solomon.[3] 

Everyone likes to refer to Solomon as "the wisest man who ever lived" and yet, if you read the Scriptures you see that he did a lot of really stupid things. Worst of all was his slide into pagan, occult practices as a result of his union with so many women of foreign cultures who brought with them their religious beliefs and practices.

When Stephen, the first Christian martyr gave his defense before the Sanhedrin, he gives us a clue as to the orgigin of this symbol:

Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

- Acts 7:42-43 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

Notice that by mentioning the "space of forty years" he is talking about the Exodus from Egypt. Thus, by implication, their pagan worship came from EGYPT. We also know from the Torah, that when the children Israel left Egypt in the Exodus, some of them secretly brought Egyptian idols and images with them! And apparently, among them was the "star of Remphan" - which was a representation of Saturn! [click here for more on that]

The prophet Amos also appears to have addressed this same issue:

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

- Amos 5:26 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible identifies this passage with Saturn as well:

...Chiun another image, or rather the same; and this the same with Chevan, which in the Arabic and Persic languages is the name of Saturn, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi say; and is so rendered by Montanus here; and who in the Egyptian tongue was called Revan, or Rephan, or Remphan; as by the Septuagint here, and in Acts 7:43; the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves; or the star "your god" (q); meaning the same with Chiun or Saturn; perhaps the same with the star that fell from the air or sky, mentioned by Sanchoniatho (r); which Astarte, the wife of Chronus or Saturn, is said to take and consecrate in Tyre; this they made for themselves, and worshipped as a deity. 

Immediately after King David died, his son Solomon became king of Israel. Right after that, the Scriptures tells us:

 Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and married one of his daughters. He brought her to live in the City of David until he could finish building his palace and the Temple of the Lord and the wall around the city.

- 1 Kings 3:1 (NLT)

It was after doing this that God appeared to Solomon and granted his request for wisdom. He should have used that wisdom more wisely. Although he loved the Lord in the beginning of his reign, he turned away from the true path as he grew older.

Now King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh’s daughter, he married women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites. The Lord had clearly instructed the people of Israel, ‘You must not marry them, because they will turn your hearts to their gods.’ Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the Lord.

In Solomon’s old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of being completely faithful to the Lord his God, as his father, David, had been. Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites. In this way, Solomon did what was evil in the Lord’s sight; he refused to follow the Lord completely, as his father, David, had done.

On the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, he even built a pagan shrine for Chemosh, the detestable god of Moab, and another for Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites. Solomon built such shrines for all his foreign wives to use for burning incense and sacrificing to their gods.

The Lord was very angry with Solomon, for his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. 

- 1 Kings 11:1-9 (NLT) [emphasis mine]

Backing up a bit, we can see how this happened. 1 Kings 7 is the chapter that tells us that Solomon hired Hiram of Tyre (an area known for Baal worship) to build the Temple of God. That always made me curious. Chapter 8 goes on to describe the completion of the Temple and Solomon's prayer of dedication. The next chapter reveals God's acceptance of all that Solomon had done - but it came with a warning:

The Lord said to him,  “I have heard your prayer and your petition. I have set this Temple apart to be holy—this place you have built where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart. As for you, if you will follow me with integrity and godliness, as David your father did, obeying all my commands, decrees, and regulations, then I will establish the throne of your dynasty over Israel forever. For I made this promise to your father, David: ‘One of your descendants will always sit on the throne of Israel.' But if you or your descendants abandon me and disobey the commands and decrees I have given you, and if you serve and worship other gods, then I will uproot Israel from this land that I have given them. I will reject this Temple that I have made holy to honor my name. I will make Israel an object of mockery and ridicule among the nations."

- 1 Kings 9:3-7 (NLT) [emphasis mine]

It is clear from the above passage that it was God who made the Temple of Solomon holy. That appears to be in spite of how it was built and by whom. That same chapter goes on to say that it took twenty years to build the Temple and Solomon's royal palace. It was built by forced labor. Who was forced to build these things?

There were still some people living in the land who were not Israelites, including Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These were descendants of the nations whom the people of Israel had not completely destroyed. So Solomon conscripted them for his labor force, and they serve in the labor force to this day. 

- Kings 9:20-21 (NLT) [emphasis mine]

Notice that it says these were the "descendants of the nations whom the people of Israel had not completely destroyed." Those were Nephilim nations! Remember what I wrote in the Building a Pure Nation blog? Those nations came from the giant descendents of Canaan! That essentially means Solomon had Nephilim and demons build the Temple and his palace through forced labor!

And here's yet another interesting piece of the puzzle! In 1 Kings 10, the Queen of Sheba pays him a visit. After that enormous wealth begins to pour into Solomon's kingdom. But notice how things start to go bad:

The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents

- 1 Kings 10:14 (NIV) [emphasis mine]

I had already known about the "demons built the Temple of Solomon" theory based on other research I had done regarding the 72 goetic demons spoken of in The Lesser Key of Solomon. In the apocryphal book, Testament of Solomon, the text reads very similar to the plot for The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In that apocryphal text, Solomon is given a "ring of power" - supposedly by the good arch-angel Michael (though I suspect - assuming there's any truth to this - that it really came from Lucifer as Saturn). Verse 5 of the text says:

And it came about through my prayer that grace was given to me from the Lord Sabaoth by Michael his archangel. {He brought me} a little ring, having a seal consisting of an engraved stone, and said to me: "Take, O Solomon, king, son of David, the gift which the Lord God has sent thee, the highest Sabaoth. With it thou shalt lock up all demons of the earth, male and female; and with their help thou shalt build up Jerusalem. {But} thou {must} wear this seal of God. And this engraving of the seal of the ring sent thee is a Pentalpha."

While I don't put a lot of faith, stock or belief in this apocryphal text, it does seem to provide an interesting elaboration on the above passage from 1 Kings concerning Solomon's Nephilim labor force. And when I put all these things together, all of this Temple business becomes suspect in my eyes - especially when you consider the Mason's obsession with the Temple of Solomon and their most revered ancestor Hiram Abiff. To be honest I've really struggled with all of that, because while the Temple of Solomon was built to be the House of God (YHVH), it seems - as we've seen here - to have a lot more connection with demons! I guess it is all reconciled by the fact that in spite of all that God Himself declared it holy. Thus it was. And I believe God did so to honor David and Solomon's heart in the matter. But with all this occult, pagan and Nephilim/demon activity, it really is easy to see how the Devil was able to lead Solomon astray.

When Solomon went astray from God’s path of truth, and began to consort with evil forces, he became a powerful wizard, or consulter of demons and the occult powers of darkness. Thus it would appear that Solomon made the hexagram a prominent symbol in ancient Israel. He adopted it from the pagan nations around him. And this symbol has its roots in Saturn.

A note from the author: This work represents some of my research, thoughts and ideas regarding history and the End Times. Do not take anything I write as the "Gospel Truth." I encourage you to be a “good Berean” and study these things out for yourself to come to your own conclusions. DISCLAIMER: While I do believe that the books contained in The Holy Bible were Divinely inspired and written by men, I do not necessarily hold to the idea that only the 66 books we now have in our (Protestant) Bibles are the sole Divinely inspired books of antiquity. For instance, the King James Version (on which I was raised) used to have 80 books in it. Today, we only have 66. Many editions of the Bible throughout the centuries contained or left out different books. God will not contradict Himself. Therefore, the fact that there have been so many different "canons" of Scripture over the centuries proves to me that the acquisition and accumulation of Scripture has not always been Divinely inspired. I also do not believe that any one version of our English Bible is 100% correct and accurate in its TRANSLATION. Granted, some are better than others. But Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic are all very complex languages and it is often hard for English as a language to do the text justice. Thus, I find that comparing different English translations can help show us a variety of ways of looking at what was originally written. I am mentioning this because throughout this series of blogs I will be referencing different versions of English Bibles as well as taking a look at some of the books not currently considered "canon" in our (Protestant) Bibles. Having grown up in a "KJV only" environment, I felt the need to say this up front. I pray that does not hinder you in any way and that this series of blogs is interesting, enlightening and encouraging to you. STATEMENT OF FAITH
