Assyria

Now for something completely different. I watched this to give myself a break from the black-pills and it is extremely good and highly recommended.  You should watch this on a large TV screen and it is even good for a Sunday school class probably for kids above 14 age. This is a 3 hour documentary on Assyria and it is high quality and well scripted video as part of a series about Lost Civilizations it already has half a million views in just over a week.

Early on they ask the question: “What was it like to live at that time and witness the end of your world?”    I thought that was very appropriate because we are a generation that will witness a similar type of upheaval.  They mention that the earliest settlements in the fertile crescent are between 9-12 k years old. That takes us to the last catastrophe cycle and the beginnings of civilization which coincides with our biblical accounts. I believe the Sumerian/Akkadian civilizations came and were followed by the Assyrian which lasted thousands of years.

At 1 hour 22 min the Assyrian king Sennacherib invades Judah. This is the Assyrian invasion of 701 BC in the time of Hezekiah.  The account in the video follows the Biblical history very closely but I would argue that when Hezekiah stripped the Temple as a tribute payment that it was probably done in his name during the period of his sickness.  In any case Sennacherib did not uphold his end of the deal.  The neo-Assyrian Empire features largely during this prophetic period which saw a large flourishing of pre-exilic Biblical literature which forms the basis of the statistical linguistic (stylometric) and exegetical analysis of my commentary Dark Sayings.

Interestingly, at  2 hours 30 mins rapid climate shift is partially blamed for the collapse of the Assyrian Empire. Babylonia at the southern end of the Empire had always been arid and employed irrigation but the North had been very wet for the previous 200 years and then the weather patterns suddenly changed as stalagmite data shows that in 675 BC during  the reign of   Esarhaddon (son of Sennacherib) one of the wettest periods (very fertile) ended in 725 BC just before Ashurbanipal came to the throne drought conditions and economic disadvantage followed but it was the Medes that delivered the coup de grace after the Assyrian genocide of Elam the Medes knew that there was no more check to Assyrian expansionism unless they curbed Assyrian power.

At 2:46 the documentary mentions the prophet Nahum who wrote about the end of the Assyrian Empire, and its capital city, Nineveh, the bloody city, in a vivid poetic style. The Assyrians were cruel and used terror as a policy of state. The Documentary does not mention Jonah who prophesied during the reign of Amaziah of Judah, as mentioned in 2 Kings 14:25 which was probably contemporary with the reign of Adad-nirari III as Edwin R. Thiele dates Amaziah’s reign from 797/796 to 768/767 BC (but on this see Andrew Perry’s dating of Kings). Amaziah was succeeded by Uzziah. Although Jonah is not mentioned a historical account is given of a prophetess of Harran who predicted the downfall of Assyria. Haran (or Harran) in Turkey first appears in Genesis as the home of Terah and his descendants, and as Abraham’s temporary home.

Every month I update the bar-chart which shows the number of downloads for PRITA (Pattern Recognition In The Apocalypse) and I was a bit late doing it this month. To my surprise I just had to re-scale the Y-axis because it was off the chart.  The top of the chart was 150 but 161 were downloaded last month. Also decent figures for the other commentaries and individual chapters.  Last year PRITA was downloaded 931 times I expect a significant increase this year and it is trending upwards.  Let us hope that more and more people realize that this is a repeat pattern that constantly cycles until it achieves fulfillment.  To understand the emergence of the beast you need to know what it looked like and how it acted in the past. The characteristics are easy to spot – it is arrogant, persecuting, oppressive and wicked.  It will brook no dissent because it thinks that it is God.  Last but not least despite all its cleverness and technological achievements and all its wonders and signs it is extremely stupid.  Evil always is.  They believe that knowledge is power and they want to suck up all the data and create their own matrix.  They have no idea what real power is.   If you have faith you have access to real power and neither fear nor death will separate you from the love of God.  The “all powerful” beast will emerge. Nothing can stop the beast or her rider the Great Whore. She will drink her fill again.  However, her destiny is the abyss.  The faithful will not be deceived by her sorcery or cowed by her power or seduced by her beauty. She is a dead thing and will be assigned to her grave and all the kings of the earth will be waiting there to greet her like they did Lucifer:

  "All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 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! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit". (Isa 14:10-15)

Now, before you get carried away the “Lucifer” here is the “morning star” the light-giver Venus (Ishtar) reference to the Assyrian-Babylonian goddess.  The chapter is about a man referred to as the king of Babylon and  Assyrian (in the same chapter). The Assyrians also conquered Babylon and  held it from time to time and appropriated the title  “king of Babylon” whenever they did. In this case Lucifer represents Tiglath-Pileser although the pattern repeats with Sennacherib.  

It is therefore not a coincidence that these evil people hold “Lucifer” as their hero. Even Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.  They are quite insane just look at Abramo-witch and her spirit cooking (talk about a bad cook).  They have elevated themselves to the heavens…even the launch of 42,000 satellites to challenge God and turn earth into a prison matrix.  They are truly quite mad.  In the end it will all be brought down. All their schemes and madness will be brought down burning on their own heads.  Satellites are not much use when the sun goes micro-nova which it will within our lifetime.  All their control technology will be fried. 

 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth". (Isa 24:21)

Bye, bye, you are fried.  Of course, this passage was about the destruction of the Assyrian army outside Jerusalem by plague during the Hezekiah Passover.  The reason that it talks about “high ones” is because the Assyrian kings understood this as a battle between  their gods (Lucifer et al) and Yahweh.  They lost and therefore their god lost. 

"Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound".(Isa 30:26)

The primary context here is again the time of Hezekiah and certain elements appealing to Egypt for help against Assyria but it morphs into end time prophecy. No doubt some  of these elements were present when the Assyrian army was destroyed but not on the scale described here.   We mentioned else where that for the moon to shine like the sun it would need to increase its luminosity about seven fold.    This speaks of a micro-nova event and the side facing the sun is really going to get hammered.  For anyone interested I recommend regularly checking the space weather on the Suspicious Observers Channel.  I love how Ben always ends his videos:

It is  […time…] in the valley of the sun. Eyes open. No fear….

Earthquake activity, magnetic pole shift etc all accelerating.  We are moving inexorably to the end of this age.  We must witness.  Will the nova happen before, during or after the witnessing?   Will the witnesses experience it or will they be gone?  Still figuring it out but we are definitely living during the last trump and the seven vials.  Do not be deceived by the beast and resist. I love the smell of roast beast in the morning…..it smells like victory.

 

 

 

 

 

This was meant to be a snippet. Sorry about that I got carried away with a “stream of consciousness”  hope it makes sense.

I still want to do something on the Fourth Gospel and have been writing etc.  I have no time…everything moving so fast.  Why the 4G? …..because it is so beautiful and because it was a resistance text.   It was written before 70 (eyewitnesses) but had a major upgrade before the Bar Kochba revolt to resist the antiChrist (The false messiah Bar Kochba) and matches the repeat patterns found in the Apocalypse.  Jewish-Christians resisting the Beast system of their day. We must learn from them.

 So, this was meant to be a snippet but I got carried away.  Still want to do more on 5G and more on earthquakes space weather ….Middle East Politics etc.  I need to clone myself but I don’t think I could stand the company (lol).
