Magicians of the Temple

Magicians of the Temple

This is a very interesting video and it interweaves myth with historical fact as it examines the Templar connections and bloodlines.  I have independently reached similar conclusions but from a different direction.

My conclusion is based on the fact that the Edomite family of Herod married into the priestly Hasmonean dynasty. Hasmoneans (the Maccabeans) held the office of High Priest continuously until 37 BC. The Edomite line of Herod intermarried with the priestly line.

Mariamne II the High Priest’s Daughter

The 24 elders are based on the Priestly division in 1 Chronicles 24 for the priestly temple service. In Chronicles, one priest (Zadok) from Eleazar’s descendants, and another priest (Ahimelech) from Ithamar’s descendants, were designated by King David to help create the various priestly work groups. Both Eleazar and Ithamar were sons of Aaron (Nadab and Abihu were killed for profaning the sanctuary). After the captivity, the sons of Zadok or Sadoc became the Sadducees, the priesthood in the time of Christ. The Sadducees grew out of the Judean religious elite in the early Hasmonean period, under rulers such as John Hyrcanus. In my video Red 3 (See below Sepher’s video) the disappearance of the Herod Dynasty is explored. I do not believe that such wealth (the richest man in the ancient world) and lineages just vanish. The Herod dynasty interbred with other royal bloodlines and I believe that the Rothschild (Red shield) is related to Edom (red). The Edomites intermarried with the Canaanite (Baal worshipers) and the name Phoenician, used to describe these people in the first millennium B.C., is a Greek invention, from the word phoinix, possibly signifying the color Red and perhaps an allusion to their production of a highly prized purple dye. It is quite plausible that descendants could trace their lineage via Herod to a royal-priesthood (there was a Herodian party in the first century) and therefore maintain that they were the “24 elders”.  The original priest Aaron also had roots going back to Egypt from which the half Egyptian tribe Ephraim had emerged.

Whatever the case might be, this knowledge was used by the Templars, Theosophists and Masons to construct a secret history (real or mythological) to explain their superiority and possession of ancient esoteric knowledge tracing its roots back to Egyptian Hermeticism and Gnosticism.  According to them the Kabbalah (the inheritor of Gnosticism) is far more ancient that the 13c AD when it was written.

 

The mention of Hebrew  cryptographic method called Atbash is fascinating.  It was used to encode Babylon in Jeremiah. Sheshach (Hebrew: ששך), whose king is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in Jeremiah 25:26, is supposed to be equivalent to Babel (Babylon), according to a secret mode of writing practiced among the Jews of unknown antiquity, which consisted in substituting the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet for the first, the next to last one for the second, and so on. Thus the letters sh, sh, ch become b, b, l (forming the word Babel).

Reading right to left: baphomet in Hebrew בפומת(t-m-o-ph-b) becomes Sophia in Hebrew שופיא (a-i-ph-o-s) Baphomet is a deity allegedly worshiped by the Knights Templar that subsequently became incorporated into various occult and Western esoteric traditions.Note that the devil is supposedly red and hairy (like Esau the progenitor of Edom) and depicted as a goat (the scapegoat sent to Azazel=the strong one).

John the Baptist, Mandaesim and Gnosticism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandaeism

According to the Mandaean text the Haran Gawaita, the Nasoraean Mandaeans, who were disciples of John the Baptist, left Judea/Palestine and migrated to Media in the 1st century CE.The reason given for this was their persecution in Jerusalem. The emigrants went first to Haran (possibly Harran in modern-day Turkey), or Hauran and then the Median hills in Iran, before finally settling in the southern provinces of Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq).
****Note that Paul found disciples of the Baptist in Asia Minor (Ephesus see Acts 19) who had never heard of Jesus. The Mandaean sect held Gnostic tpe beliefs.

1984 vs. Brave New World

1984 vs. Brave New World

Must watch. Highly recommended.

This video has already been posted and is an interview between Mark Kulacz and John Brisson.  I thought it was that good that it required re-posting with notes and a rough running order etc.

This is important because it describes the driving philosophy and motivations behind the chaos that we are seeing now.  Essentially the two approaches to a New World Order are those described by Orwell in 1984 and Huxley in a Brave New World (BNW).   John puts it succinctly when he says that is the Great Reset vs. The Great Awakening.  The main difference between BNW and 1984 is the way the citizens are controlled. In 1984 they are controlled by the government through fear, while in BNW the government controls them with pleasure.  In a BNW people must want their slavery, in fact they don’t even know they are slaves.

They are destroying the current economic and social-religious paradigm so that it can be replaced with one that allows them full spectrum dominance.  At the risk of oversimplification it is the Hegelian dialectic, an interpretive philosophical method in which the contradiction between a proposition (thesis) and its antithesis is resolved at a higher level of truth (synthesis).  The synthesis that emerges will between “science” (which has now become a cult) and New Age Religion synthesizes into the “consciousness” (self -realization) of  transhumanism.  The Great Awakening is in many ways even more dangerous than the Great Reset because it will repackage many of the Great Reset ideas to make them religiously acceptable.  The survivors of the chaos will voluntarily absorb the faux messianic ideology in the mistaken belief that have overcome great evil.

Robert Muller (March 11, 1923 – September 20, 2010) was an international civil servant with the United Nations. Serving with the UN for 40 years and rising to the rank of Assistant Secretary-General, his ideas about world government, world peace and spirituality led to the increased representation of religions in the UN, especially of New Age Movement. He was known by some as “the philosopher of the United Nations”.

Ol’ Mother Hubbard

Barbara Marx Hubbard (born Barbara Marx; December 22, 1929 – April 10, 2019) was an American futurist, author, and public speaker. She is credited with the concepts of “The Synergy Engine” and the “birthing” of humanity (a Jewish agnostic). She attended the school where Donald Barr (Jewish) the father of William Barr (Trump’s AG) hired J. Epstein (Jewish) as a teacher.Barbara Marx had a relationship with Jonas Salk (Jewish) the eugenicist and developed first widely used polio vaccine. Believed in collective conciseness etc.

This is one of the quotes  that John read out:

We can imagine ourselves as the over extended macro-molecule passively floating in the early seas, not expecting anything new— but feeling vaguely uncomfortable, sensing something “wrong” — something about to happen. We begin to sense our unused potential — when suddenly we are drawn by the RNA, the messenger of the DNA, into a new pattern, a larger whole — the cell. We are becoming protein — a different matter! “What's happening? I feel strange! I can see! Future shock! A New Age! I'm more than I was! I like it! I hate it! Something artificial is happening! Who am I now?...” (page 34)

The evolutionary journey : a personal guide to a positive future (1982)

This was written in her book in 1982…it sounds like the transhumanist manifesto. Injecting mRNA to change people.

John also reads out from DeAnne Loper’s book…who is paraphrasing Alice Bailey:

Bailey called this release of atomic energy a “saving force” that will “bring about an entirely new economic world structure.” Bailey noted that “planetary initiation” and the soul’s “liberation” will come through the discoveries of atomic energy, as well as investigations into light, color, and the “magic” of sound (vibrations) as a creative energy; all aspects of so-called quantum science. She also stated that “adjustments” would be made so that “At the head of certain of the great occult groups, of the Freemasons of the world, and of the various great divisions of the church...will be found initiates or Masters,” adding that this work was already underway. (page 102)*

*Footnote for p.102:  Alice Bailey, The Externalization of the Hierarchy (New York, NY: Lucis Publishing Company, 1957), pp. 496-498. 

Kabbalah Secrets Christians Need to Know: An In Depth Study of the Kosher Pig and the Gods of Jewish Mysticism DeAnne Loper

Now we see that science has become a “cult” or religion for these transhumanists. Mark mentions the book by Luis A Campos, Radium and the Secert of life:

Before the hydrogen bomb indelibly associated radioactivity with death, many chemists, physicians, botanists, and geneticists believed that radium might hold the secret to life. Physicists and chemists early on described the wondrous new element in lifelike terms such as “decay” and “half-life,” and made frequent references to the “natural selection” and “evolution” of the elements. Meanwhile, biologists of the period used radium in experiments aimed at elucidating some of the most basic phenomena of life, including metabolism and mutation.

This leads Mark on a tangent about the reality of the atom bomb which can be falsified with high explosive, however, that is perhaps a different discussion and one for which I reserve doubts. Here is the video again:

These people are nuts. O’l mother Hubbard has not become a  transcendent human instead she has now descended and met her human fate like all humans must.  The mRNA experiment has failed and causes sickness and death.  They have made science a religious cult.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called (1 Tim 6:20 )

Metaphysics and the Long Con

Metaphysics and the Long Con

In this stream I take part in the open panel discussion on metaphysics hosted by Dr Kevin McCairn the systems neuroscientist.  This is a stream that is nearly seven hours long (7:04). In the first section Dr Kevin McCairn streams with Davey Crocko on the “Real Science Behind the Venom Grift” and that section ends with Kevin tuning into the debate (starts  https://youtu.be/itTRFLQn4jc?t=6468)   between Adam Green and E. Michael Jones, Ph.D. hosted on  #Killstream Saturday Night: Adam Green vs E. Michael Jones (odysee.com)

Adam Green (from Know More News) is regarded as a far-right anti-Semite because he has brought valid criticism against the Talmud and Christian-Zionism.  However, Adam Green has developed his “theology” even further (under the tutelage of Christopher Jon Bjerknes) to the point where he understands all of Christianity as part of a Jewish Conspiracy which I have named the Long Con.

Definition: The Long Con (plural long cons) A scam in which the scammer takes a long period of time (usually weeks, months or longer) to defraud the victim, by first slowly gaining their trust.

This stretches the credibility of Green as he relies on Bjerknes to provide the academic ammunition for his hypothesis.  This is a problem because   Bjerknes is adept at conflating different mythologies, ignoring historical evidence and practicing deeply flawed hermeneutics which I have debunked in the past. [1]   That said, many of Green’s (and CJB’s) criticism regarding Talmudic Judaism and Christian-Zionism are valid.  It is just a pity that it had to be leveraged to extremis.

On the other hand, E. Michael Jones is a Catholic writer who seeks to defend traditional Catholic teachings and stop the damage that he believes Jews are inflicting on the Catholic Church and western civilization.  He is also seen as an antisemite by the ADL (who isn’t?). Although E. Michael Jones makes valid points (about the Logos etc) he is also constrained by his dogma (incarnation rather than manifestation) and the circularity of his primal causation worldview and his understanding of the exclusivity of the Catholic Church as the only means of salvation which carries echoes the Jewish claims of superiority. This should not surprise us as the Roman Church was penetrated by Jewish converts. [2]

So, Dr Kevin McCairn is justified in his criticism of both viewpoints and his critique of Armageddon fetishism is also valid.  All the Abrahamic religions (this includes Islam) expect that catastrophic events will usher in a new world. This plays into the hands of those who would use violence to usher in the new world order.  It was ever thus:

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force (Matt 11:12).

They attempted a violent imposition of the “kingdom of heaven” in the first and second centuries with appearance of false Messiah’s and each time it ended in disaster. [3] They have therefore established a pattern of behaviour.  The nation became unclean, demon possessed like legion and was therefore sent into exile like the scapegoat. [4] The story of the demon possessed man in the synoptic Gospels is an acted parable that depicts how the Jews constantly fall into delusional madness [5] in their attempt to impose order on chaos and take up the position that they see as rightfully theirs.

Did an elite class (priests?) possess knowledge of the timing and frequency of such cataclysms which they could then use to their advantage? Many ancient civilizations had an awareness of cyclical disasters at regular intervals, and it is certainly possible that such knowledge was passed down the generations and that it would confer an advantage when transitioning into a “new age”.  It is also true that survival strategy encouraged in-group preference and saw Jewish power exercised at the top level of every civilization (Egypt, Babylon, Persia etc) as the Bible stories recount and there is no reason to doubt this as we see the same today.

Is it possible that Christianity itself is a Jewish ploy designed to confuse and disinherit the Gentiles (the long con)?    This seems hardly plausible as the Old Testament depicts the Jews in a very unflattering manner.  They are not portrayed as a master race and their progenitor Jacob (later renamed Israel) is depicted as a deceiver and a cheat (see the character in Uncut Gems).[6]  The fact that Christianity is hated with a vengeance and undermined by the Jews (cf. the Bolsheviks) mitigates against the thesis that it is “a Jewish ploy”.

One way or another the Jews are trying to implement their vision of the kingdom of God whether that is through the Chabad Noahide Tikkun Olam concept or New Age (theosophic/luciferian) [7] theology with the added twist of transhumanism where man himself transcends his own humanity with the help of Artificial Intelligence.  In other words, it is the original sin of wanting to become God. The “temptation” of the serpent that man can acquire knowledge and eternal life and become God through his own effort. This is reflected in the current drive towards coupling Artificial Intelligence with Human consciousness which is nothing other than the ultimate mind of the flesh. [8]

While it is true that scripture depicts humans as “gods” (elohim) made in the “image” that does not mean equivalence with God. This is reflected in a Psalm that can be contextualized in the Hezekiah era where the “gods” are the Sanhedrin judges:

I have said, Ye are gods (elohim); and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men (adam) and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations (Ps 82: 6-8) [9]

The attempt to “become gods” is the sui generis and sui causa of the mythos presented in Eden.  That we can control our destiny through an act of self-determination if only we have enough knowledge.  However, that knowledge only brings fear because we realize that without God, we are naked and vulnerable. We are mortal, fallen creatures that carry the seeds of our own destruction living in a Universe that seems to inflict random chaos and pain on all our attempts to order our existence.

 Jewish lens?

The critique that we are viewing everything through a Jewish lens is a valid one because we do. When Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman he indicated that salvation comes via the Jews  (John 4:4) but also said that God must be worshiped in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24) although the Pharisees had all the correct doctrines,  yet they were deficient (Matt 23:3) and so it is with many Christians who profess to be doing the will of God (Matt 7:22-23).

Our culture can be considered Judeo-Christian, at least in the West but the influence of that culture is felt globally (even in the East non-Christian countries) through science and media. The Age or Reason was an attempt to break free of religion and to be solely guided by scientific rationality.  How has that worked out?  We face the nightmare of neo- Malthusianism and the death of freewill in subservience to the collective.  We will become slaves to our own technology. The machines are taking over Skynet has become selfaware.  Is eschatology becoming self-fulfilling?  To some extent it is.  

 However, I believe that they will lose complete control.  Kevin refers to this as passively waiting for them to “drop the ball” or “fumble the pass” (a good analogy) and laments that many Christians are using it as an excuse to sit on their hands and do nothing except “turn the other cheek”.  That is a fair criticism because I do believe that the Christian response has been passive, weak and completely missing. We should be fighting and witnessing.  By fighting I mean that we are engaged in a spiritual war (Eph 6:12), a psychological conflict and we need to “armor up” (Eph 6:13) and witness to the truth without fear or favor.   We should not comply and refuse to worship the golden image of the beast (Dan 3:18).  In this case the gold A.I. quantum computers that represent human reasoning and the running amok of science that seeks to dethrone God from his place as creator and sustainer of all life.

 No man is good

The lesson must be learnt that no man is good (Luke 18:19).  We are all fallen creatures and no man can come to God unless he is drawn by him (John 6:44).  It is God who sets the terms and God who chooses. It is the prerogative of the creator to make one vessel to honor and another to dishonor (Rom 9:21).  God answers to no one nor should he.  He creates and he destroys.  As the end is known from the beginning who are we to demand answers or justification?

True Christianity is the only belief that teaches that you cannot save yourself.   All other religions and philosophies teach that enlightenment and redemption can be achieved through an exercise of will or self-actualization.    We can transform ourselves. True religion says the opposite.  The Jews believed that the messiah would come in a time when he is most needed (because the world is so sinful), or in a time when he is most deserved (because the world is so good). The Sabbatian and Frankists reasoned that as the world can never be fully righteous the only way to achieve salvation is to make it fully evil.  The nihilistic Sabbatian and Frankist movements rejected all norms and advocated the “redemption through sin” including sexual rituals and sacred orgies with incest. In their inversion Sin became holy and it was necessary to unmake creation because the material world (compare Gnosticism) is evil.  The “true God” could allegedly be revealed only through a destruction of the social and religious structures created by the “false God,” thus leading to a thorough antinomianism. This is of course insane and probably formed the basis of Satanism such as advocated by Aleister Crowley with the only law being “Do what thou wilt” a recipe for complete societal breakdown. This is what happens when we completely reject God.

Humility

All I see around me is the hubris and arrogance of man. Even as all our paradigms and science fail the test of time we still self-congratulate and narcissistically revel in our greatness like Nebuchadnezzar boasting of his glory before he was turned into a beast (Dan 4:30-32).   And that is how God regards our effort at self-deification.  It has become (like all human Empires) a devouring beast.

Our models of the Universe are all wanting whether that is large scale (dark matter) or small scale (quantum mechanics) only tell part of the story.  The truth is that ‘in him we live and move and have our being’ (Acts 17:28) our universe is like a complex brain and ultimately our consciousness is derivative.  We need to be humble in the presence of such awesomeness.  A billion, billion galaxies and our lives are just the blink of an eye.

Notes

[1] See Metaphysics and Myth ,  The Cacodemon and Are You being Punked?

[2] The founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius of Loyola, was a converso, (convert) and so was his successor Diego Lainex. The futurist interpretation of the Apocalypse was written by Jesuit-Jew Ribera thus drawing attention away from any partial first and second century fulfillment that would have a negative impact on the Jews and any interpretation that would involve identifying the church with the harlot or the beast. This covered all bases and pushed the Apocalypse somewhere into the distant future neutralising it as an instrument of criticism. See Jews and Jesuits and St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Jews

[3] Simon bar Giora the Idumean (69-70 CE) whose coins bore the legend “Redemption of Zion”, indicating that there was a religious aspect to Simon’s bid for power. This does not prove that he was considered the Messiah, but it is likely. The fact that he wore a royal robe in the Temple is another indication. Simon bar Kokhba, born Simon ben Koseva, (d. 135 AD) who lead the Bar Kokhba revolt against the Roman Empire.

[4] The Scapegoat and the Jews

[5] There are many intertextual links between the healing of Legion and the witnessing in Revelation 11. The apostle Paul also links Romans 11 with Revelation 11 which strongly suggests that the Apocalypse was already in circulation before Romans was written (therefore dating the Apocalypse early before 70). Take special note of the use of the word torment in Luke 8:28 and Rev 11:10 and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another” which is a characteristic of the Jewish feast of Purim. The two witnesses (prophets) are therefore regarded as enemies by the Jews and murdered. They are raised (vindicated) after three-and-a -half days reminiscent of the resurrection of Jesus.

[7] Theosophy

[8] Flesh vs. Spirit

[9] See the use of Psalm 82 by Christ when talking to the Sanhedrin: Psalm 82 in the Fourth Gospel The historical context of the Psalm is the Hezekiah period contemporary with the prophet Isaiah. The Psalm is a condemnation of the Judges (the seventy or Sanhedrin) otherwise known as the Elohim (gods). Men and rulers referred to as God: Exodus 7:1; 21:6; 22:8,9,28; 23:20,21; Psalms 58:1(?); 97:7; 138:11; 1 Samuel 2:25; 28:13. Psalm 82 (Booker/HAW) and in the commentary on Isaiah (HAW): [p.123] Here God is represented as being busy judging the judges. Those who should have been setting the tone of public life in the nation, themselves needed remonstration, denunciation and discipline. Psalm 82 is marvellously like this passage in phraseology and idea and may well be an Isaiah psalm appropriate to this very time (a Psalm of Asaph because handed over to the Asaph choir in the temple). [p. 259] Psalm 82 is demonstrably another psalm of the reign of Hezekiah, and there verse 7, otherwise rather bewildering, is a clear allusion to Shebna: “Ye shall fall like one of the princes,” that is, the demotion he has experienced will be yours also.

Good Friday

Good Friday

It is Good Friday the start of the Christian holiday known to most people as Easter. Of course, Easter itself is based on the Jewish Passover and is the feast associated by Christians with the death and resurrection of Jesus. It is interesting that Victoria police should use Easter to put out a PR message to placate a public that they have brutalized during the lockdowns.  Even though their message is deliberately anti-Christian and pagan they inadvertently do us a favor by highlighting important issues.

We have two “bunnies” and the mention of Lucifer and Azazel in this tweet. Many Jews would equate Azazel (Lev 16:8) with Lucifer and the choice of two bunnies is a deliberate play on choosing two goats for the Day of Atonement feast.  One goat (known as the scapegoat) was released and sent to Azazel (sent to the devil) and the other goat was sacrificed. I have written extensively on the scapegoat phenomenon but essentially the goat that is sent away into exile is the nation of Israel and the goat that was sacrificed is Christ.  The Gospels relate the passion scene as a combination of both feasts (Passover and Atonement) with Jesus (the son of the Father) sacrificed (Goat for Yahweh) and the other son of the father (Barabbas the goat for Azazel) released.   

The Passion of the Christ (2004) – Free Barabbas (3 min)

 

Indeed, it is speculated by some that Barabbas might have been one of those who abandoned discipleship (John 6:66) because Jesus refused to be crowned King (John 6:15) and to lead a violent revolt against the Romans.  If that is the case, then Barabbas as an ex-disciple would have been tried for insurrection and murder (Mark 15:7) not just for robbery.

 

John 6, the chapter in which many disciples abandon the Christ is the famous “hard saying” (John 6:60) which is about “eating him” (John 6:57).   This deliberately proactive saying was an abomination to the Jews with their kosher food laws and is also misunderstood as the doctrine of transubstantiation by some Christians.

 

It is something more “modern” that has been taken up by “identity politics”.  In the present clown world of cultural Marxism, you can choose to identify as male/female or whatever you may wish.  In Contrast by the act of the eucharist and eating bread and drinking wine Christians are making a statement that they identify with Christ (John 6:54-56).  In other words, the Christian is demonstrating that his flesh and blood has become joined to the flesh and blood of Christ. Our humanity becomes like his humanity which is dead to ego expressed as sin.  This does not mean that we are sinless but that we (like Abraham) are counted as righteous because of faith. The two ritual instructions given to us by Christ (baptism and the eucharist) are both concerned with identifying with him.    Jesus becomes the fulfilment of the two critical Jewish feasts.  He is both the goat slain for Yahweh on the Day of Atonement and the Lamb of God (John 1:29) killed on Passover and celebrating the deliverance out of the land of death (Egypt with its Pyramid tombs).

Pagan Easter or Christian Easter?

Many Christians point out that the Christian celebration of the Lord’s Passover has been paganised with “chocolate eggs” etc which are ancient symbols of fertility rites.  They are of course correct because there is an element of syncretism just as there is with the celebration of Christmas.

On these matters I take the advice of the apostle Paul (Rom 14:5-6) and although I do enjoy my chocolate eggs and easter buns I believe it is incumbent that Christians understand the importance of feast and if they are not running around naked worshiping a fertility goddess no harm no foul. It is however very interesting to understand the origins of Easter or Astarte in ancient Canaanite religion and how this relates to ancient Israel. Serious biblical scholars have known for some time that the Canaanite Baal had a consort (wife) called Astarte.  We should not be surprised that this carried over to ancient Israelite religion where Yahweh was worshipped with a consort and that this was condemned by the prophets.   Abraham was a former inhabitant of Ur where polytheistic religion was practiced when he received his revelation and was told to leave.  The point is that the Old Testament depicts God as having a consort, but that consort (wife) becomes the people of faith (in the first place Israel) which was made to drink the waters of jealousy (Ex 32:20, Num 5:22) and given a bill of divorce for her whoredoms (cf. Hos 1:2).  I recommend watching this video by William Dever who mentions Margret (I believe that is a reference to Margert Barker who I have corresponded with) and at about 54 minutes Leen Ritmijer (Who some of you may know).   In any case the setting up of cult centres at Dan and Beersheba should be familiar to any Bible student as that was instigated by Jeraboam (1 Kings 12:27-33). Moreover, the centralization of the cult was undertaken by the reformers Hezekiah (2 Kings 18:4-5) and Josiah (2 Kings 23:5-25).

William Dever on “Did God Have a Wife? Folk Religion in Ancient Israel” (1:13)

Is Yahweh Male or Female?

In the NT God is depicted as male and addressed by Jesus as a Father.  Of course, we are dealing with anthropomorphic symbology because God is depicted as both male and female, but at the same time he is neither male nor female.  God does not need to reproduce because he is eternal, and we are his offspring (Acts 17:28) made in his image (Gen 1:26). The El Shaddai epithet used in the OT denotes the female aspect of divine nature, namely “breasts”, denoting fertility and blessing epitomised in the promise to Eve (whose name means mother of the living Gen 3:20) that through pain and suffering the messianic ideal would be birthed. The point is that Yahweh is calling out a consort (wife) as a bride for his son with the Baptist depicted as the bridegroom (John 3:29) and the church as a bride (John 21:2) being invited to a wedding feast (the messianic banquet Matt 22:8-14, it is wedding garments/done Luke 14:22, garments (Rev 16:15-17) the banquet is Armageddon the Super of the Great God (Rev 19:17)) where the water for purifying the Jews (John 2:6) is transformed into the wine (blood) of the covenant.  So, the ancient, corrupted symbols are being repurposed and demythologised to reflect their original intent.

 

Transhumanist (Jews) are trying to deify themselves and undo the blessing of fertility by becoming androgynous. Shekhinah, the ‘cloud of Yahweh’ in the Bible, a synonym for God’s presence in the rabbinic tradition, and a feminine hypostasis in the Kabbalah, is a popular theological image in contemporary Jewish feminist circles.  The Kabbalists want to unite Yahweh with his consort the Shekinah:

Shekhinah, the tenth sefirah, represents God’s presence in the world of “material reality” in which humans live. Shekhinah, the daughter of Binah, is a feminine sefirah whose role is to channel all the energies of the upper nine sefirot into the everyday human world. Without Shekhinah, humans would have no concrete understanding of divinity. Kabbalistic literature typically portrays that Shekhinah as an outcast, a lone sefirah. Her separation from Ein Sof and the other sefirot parallels the exile of the Jewish people from their homeland of Israel. Because Shekhinah is a part of Ein Sof, Ein Sof can never be whole or healed until Shekhinah returns from exile, just as Jews can never know peace until all Jews can return to Israel. Kabbalistic literature symbolically represents this return in the sexual union of Shekhinah and Tiferet, the sefirah that represents God’s beauty. Kabbalists all share the same aim: to unite Shekhinah with Tiferet through faithful devotion to Kabbalah, and in turn bring about the restoration of Ein Sof.

The failure of the church

The Christian church has failed miserably in opposing transhumanism, tyranny, and war.  There is only one Church and one body composing of Jews and Gentiles over the ages. No churches are without fault (doctrinal or otherwise) and yet Jesus is able to redeem faithful individuals even from the most corrupt churches (Rev 2:24).

The Good Shepherd

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
One God and Father of all, who is above all,
and through all, and in you all
(Ephesians 4:5-6)

There is only one flock and one shepherd.

The Cacodemon

The Cacodemon

Christopher Jon Bjerknes discusses his book Satanic Secrets of Jesus Christ which basically sees the whole Bible including the NT as a plot by the Jews to take over the world.  The Gentiles have been fooled into believing in Yahweh who is a Cacodemon and taken in by Jesus who is really a Satanic Serpent.    No, I did not make that up…that is what he is putting forward and he lends it credibility by conflating numerous myths and presenting a pseudo-intellectual argument that falls apart as soon as you start pulling on the threads. It is only superficially plausible because so few people are familiar with Scripture or with hermeneutical techniques. The stream is about four and a half hours and my video response is bellow.

My video response:

The blog article below includes my previous video response and a link to CJB ‘s previous stream (Are you being punked?) with Dr Kevin McCairn in which CJB demonstrated a complete lack of understanding regarding the function and origins of Scapegoat typology on the Day of Atonement.  Despite explaining the scapegoat ritual and leaving links to articles (See: Are you being punked?) Christopher continues to ignore the evidence.

PRITA (Part 3)

PRITA (Part 3)

Here is our next video in the series Pattern Recognition In The Apocalypse (PRITA).  

Although the last 2,000 years is referred to as the “Times of the Gentiles” that does not mean that the Apocalypse is a continuous account of Christianity or Gentile history. The Kingdom of God could have been established in the first or second centuries if the nation had repented.  Instead the Jews were cast off until the times of the Gentiles were fulfilled.  The Apocalypse does not tell us about the intervening period. After all, the Gentiles are a branch that has been grafted into the Jewish tree of covenant hope.  The focus of the Apocalypse is on events immediately proceeding the  second advent and those events were interrupted by stubborn disobedience.  As we approach the end we have a repeat of the patterns that  occurred in the first and second centuries.

What can we then say about the long intervening period?   The intermission or parenthesis was an opportunity for the gospel to be preached to the Gentiles  but it also provoked the Jews to jealousy (Rom 11:11).   If God had abandoned them then they would achieve their own deliverance and greatness.  Remember that Satan promised Jesus the kingdoms of the world if only Jesus would bow down and worship him?   Of, course we know that Jesus refused to worship his own fleshly desires.  Jesus refused to snatch at power and glory but the Jews feel like God has betrayed them because they were the chosen race.  It is their world and the Gentiles (especially white Christians) are usurpers.  So, the Apocalypse tells us nothing about the intermission because the Apocalypse is not a history book.  

However, it is important to understand the parenthesis from the Jewish perspective. They came to the conclusion that they needed to repossess their homeland. The Jewish nation had collectivized the messianic attributes as they had (in their view) been offered up (holocaust) for the sins of the Gentiles (Isaiah 53).  Of course, they expected a messianic leader to emerge once they possessed the land at which point they would rule the world and heal it (Tikkun Olam).  So far their obsession has brought nothing but bloodshed and ideologies like communism on the one side and mercantilism and super charged capitalism on the other.

Even though the times of the Gentiles is an interlude that does not feature per se in the symbolism of the Apocalypse it is nevertheless important to understand the period from a historical  perspective because the times of the Gentiles was the period where the Jews came to the conclusion that they had to take matters into their own hands.   Ironically the times of the Gentiles was shaped by the Jews. The prophetic clock could only start ticking again once the Jews took possession of their homeland.   The following video relates to this interim period….

The Babylonian Talmud (7 min)

The mother of Harlots

It should come as no shock that the Rabbis prefer Islam because it is an offshoot of Rabbinical Judaism. [i] Jewish Law (halakha) means “the way of walking” and Islamic Law (sharia) in Arabic means “the way.” The Islamic obsession with “Law” comes from the Jewish obsession with Law as Parthia (Babylonia or Shinar) was the centre of Jewish Law Schools and the place (Zech 5.11) where the Babylonian Talmud was written for centuries before Muḥammad appeared. Moreover many Jewish tribes lived in the Arabian Peninsula where Muḥammad (an illiterate but well travelled merchant) received his visions. Muslims believe that the Quran was orally revealed by God to the final Prophet, Muḥammad, through the archangel Gabriel (Jibril), incrementally over a period of some 23 years concluding in 632, the year of his death.

According to tradition, several of Muḥammad’s companions served as scribes and recorded the revelations. In 1896 Rabbi Abraham Geiger highlighted the similarities between Rabbinic Judaism and Islam. [ii]  Jews are allowed to pray in a mosque and Muslims in a synagogue but neither will pray in a church. Christians are considered “idolaters” [iii] by Jews and Muslims but as we have seen even when Christians reject the Trinity and vicarious atonement it makes little difference to the rabbis as Islam is preferred above the monotheistic “version” of Christianity. There is therefore no version of Christianity that is palatable to the Rabbis. So Jews and Muslims eat the same clean food, practice male circumcision (which is also widespread in Islam and accepted as established practice by all Islamic schools of jurisprudence) and we must not forget ostentatious prayers etc and the giving of alms and the pilgrimage to Mecca (based on the historical pilgrimage to the Jewish temple cf. the Wailing Wall). In 1976 the historians Patricia Crone and Michael Cook wrote the book Hagarism: The Making of the Islamic World is a 1977 book about the early history of Islam. According to the authors, 7th century Syriac, Armenian and Hebrew sources depict the formation of Islam as a Jewish messianic movement known as Hagarism,[iv] which migrated into the Fertile Crescent. It drew considerable influences from the Samaritans and Babylonian Judaism. Around 690 AD the movement shed its Judaic identity to develop into what would later become Arab Islam.[v] Although the theory was subsequently universally rejected for its methodology [vi] it did open up new avenues of research. Hagarism built on the work of Joseph Schacht (d. 1969), a towering figure in the history and study of Islamic law; and before Schacht, to Ignaz Goldziher (d. 1921), a man who in many way stands as the godfather of modern Islamic studies in the West. Both Goldziher and Schacht showed that many of the oral traditions which had been attributed to Muḥammad and regarded with canonical authority by Muslims were actually late fabrications which reflected the cultural and political situation in the Middle East long after the Prophet had died. [vii]  Apart from casual allusions in the Qur’an, most of what is reported about Muḥammad’s life is based on oral traditions of his followers later collected and written down in biographical works of the A.D. 8th and 9th centuries. Suffice to say that the truth lays somewhere in-between full blown Hagarism and a conservative Islamic view as it is quite obvious that Islam owes much to Rabbinic Judaism but probably not to the extent that Hagarism suggests. One might say that Judaism is the mother religion (rather t

[i] See David Steinberg, Islam and Judiasm Influences Contrasts and Parallels

[ii] The Talmud and Islam and Abraham Geiger, Judaism and Islam, (Translated by F.M. Young, 1896).

[iii] For Maimonides, Christianity and Islam are related to Judaism. Maimonides’s practical view of Christianity was usually assumed to be negative, and he regarded Christianity as a form of proscribed polytheism, even for gentiles. In his code of Jewish law, Mishneh Torah, Maimonides basically restated his judgment about the idolatrous status of Christianity without repeating the reasons he gave in his earlier works. As a theologian, he took regularly strong exemption to Christian Trinitarianism. Maimonides ranked Islam superior than Christianity on theological grounds. For him, Christianity is the prime example of the error of such anthropomorphism in its original doctrine of the Incarnation and in its associated doctrine of the Trinity. See,Oxford Scholarship

[iv] Named Hagarism after Hagar, the Egyptian wife of Abraham

[v] SeeWikipedia: Hagarism

[vi] Stephen Humphreys observes, “Unsurprisingly, the Crone-Cook interpretation has failed to win general acceptance among Western Orientalists, let alone Muslim scholars … The rhetoric of these authors may be an obstacle for many readers, for their argument is conveyed through a dizzying and unrelenting array of allusions, metaphors, and analogies. More substantively, their use (or abuse) of the Greek and Syriac sources has been sharply criticised. In the end, perhaps we ought to use Hagarism more as a ‘what-if’ exercise than as a research monograph.” Stephen Humphreys, Islamic History, (Princeton, 1991) pp. 84–85.
