2012 and the Antichrist

 

(Edition 3.0 20100515-20120528-20151114-20171230)

 

There is a fuss being made at present on the significance of the year 2012. This paper is to explain the sequence of the events and the significance of the year 2012 in occult understanding and symbolism so that we are not deceived and can recognise the False Prophet and the Antichrist system when it is brought into play in the near future.

2012 and the Antichrist



It stands to reason that Satan is prepared for the struggle of the Last Days and has put into place a system such that if it were possible it will deceive even the very elect. We are able to distinguish the battle ground and the time frames from what he has told his disciples.

 

There is a work called Appollyon Rising 2012 written by Thomas Horn which deals with a number of aspects that are of significance. The work compiles a series of ancient prophecies and some of the details from Malachi Martin’s work Windswept House. I have written to explain the date of 2012 in the Mayan and other Calendars which I will also explain here. We will also cover prophecy from the Zohar, as does Horn’s work, and other prophecies.

 

The prophecies of Malachy of Armagh are covered in the paper The Last Pope (No. 288) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p288.html.That is good background reading.


The Great Seal of the US is the key to the structure of the New World Order (NWO) and the structure of the US Masonic system. Its takeover of the Vatican by Satanists and Freemasons is the topic of the work of Martin and also of Horn along with the sequence and timings. The US leadership is the Beast Power as one section, along with the extension of Europe as the other set of toes of the empire of ten toes of the Last Days. The Beast Power is in two sections on both sides of the Atlantic and Satan and the occultists are developing it for world control. We will examine that aspect later.


The year 2012 is supposed to be the “Time of Jacobs Trouble” and the arrival of the Messiah but we will examine that later.


We will also examine Martin's account of the enthronement of the Angel Lucifer in the Vatican and in South Carolina in the 33rd parallel in contemporaneous masses or satanic ceremonies.

 

2012 is the line date for the sun cults. We will examine more prophecies and see what we can tease out of the time frames.


We know that the Messiah gets here after the Witnesses are in Jerusalem for 1263.5 days. The Witnesses are not yet in Jerusalem in sackcloth. Thus the year 2012 cannot be the date for the Messiah and there must be a system set up for the Antichrist and the False Prophet. It follows to reason, given the emphasis placed on it, that may well be what these sun cults are working for.


One thing we do know is that the handover will not be all that smooth. Satan and the demons have set a system in process to fight Christ and the Host. It will deceive if it were possible even the very elect.


The works by Malachi Martin also have significance as to what is happening in the Vatican and the US. Know your enemy and you need not fear the result of a thousand battles. The emergence of one of the main players is outlined in the paper The False Messiah (No. 067B) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p067b.html.


The Mayan Calendar System

Satan has set up a system in the Last Days and it affects us directly.

 

The following is an extract from the paper Advent of the Messiah (No. 210a) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p210a.html.

The Sun system is of importance and the paper has an appendix that explains the Mayan system also.

Part I: Section C The Morning Star and the Mayan Calendar

We discussed the Mayan calendar in that paper. There are some important points to note regarding that system. It was not perfected until after the text in the Dresden Codex, ca. 934 CE. We will re-examine that here.

The YDNA system of the Maya is of the Q derivatives that occurred when the P Haplogroup split into the R and Q sub- groups. In other words, biblically speaking, the Amerindians are sons of Japheth and close relatives of the Slavs and Europeans (see Genetic Origin of the Nations (No. 265) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p265.html).

 

The calendar is thus a post-flood derivation and, given the degree of drift in the calendar of the Dresden Codex, perhaps a not too ancient variation.


It refers back to a system that places its mythological beginnings in the year 3114 BCE, forty years before the death of Adam. It is a complex system that includes the determinations of the Rising of Venus as Morning Star and calculates the time of the current creation age or One Great Year cycle comprised of 13 Baktuns, which approximate to 5125 solar years.


This number of 5125 years is alleged to relate to the Great Cycle that is the progression of the equinoxes. Thus there are alleged to be five ages or aeons of the Great Cycle, each of 13 Baktuns. That is incorrect. The five divisions of 13 Baktuns make 25,625 solar years. The 12 Zodiacal divisions do not equate with the five divisions of the Baktuns of the Maya. There is a significant difference in the totals of the Great Cycle of 295 solar years. The figures are similar and may represent another symbolic relationship deriving from an early source.


The progression of the equinoxes is a gradual backward movement taking 2,160 years to pass through one zodiacal constellation, or 25,920 years to pass through the entire zodiac. There is no sudden and dramatic change. The concept of a ‘Great Year’ in Greek thought can be traced back to Heraclitus but the intent is unclear.

“Plato seems to allude to a ‘Great Year’ as the time it takes for the stars to return to their starting point in the cosmos (Ti. 39d) and appears to give a mathematical value for this (Rep.546b-c).[1][25] This would indicate Plato’s awareness of some sort of celestial pattern over a great period of time and Celsus seems to be aware of two movements of the cosmos” (Simon Mahoney, An Interpretation of Mithraic Remains).
http://pages.britishlibrary.net/simon.mahony/ma-mith.html).

The entire Mayan system is based on the number of the Heavenly Council of the Host. The base number is 72 or the Hebdomekonta[duo] of Luke 10:1 and 17. It reflects the number of the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin is itself a reflection of the Heavenly Council, as we know from the Bible.


In 3114 BCE Adam was alive. The following patriarchs were also alive: Seth (b. 3874, d. 2964); Enos (b. 3769, d. 2864); Kenan (b. 3679, d. 2768); Mahalael (b. 3609, d. 2714); Jared (b. 3544, d. 2582); Enoch (b. 3382, t. 3017); Methusaleh (b. 3317, d. 2348); Lamech (b. 3130, d. 2353). Jared was Enoch’s father. Noah was not born until 2948 BCE. Thus in the year 3114 all the patriarchs were alive and present save for Noah. The fall of the Host was traditionally associated with the rule of Jared and that in his days the Host descended and fornicated with women. His father Mahalael allegedly named him Jared in prophecy. The name Jared (SHD 3382) means descent and refers to the descent of the Host in his days. He was born in 3544 and was 430 years old in 3114 BCE. The descent and interbreeding with the Host occurred over this period of time.

 

Enoch testified against the Host and was taken by God as a reward for his faithfulness in 3017. The text in 1Enoch attributes prophecy concerning the Flood to Enoch at the birth of Noah, but that is impossible as Enoch was taken 69 years before the birth of Noah (1Enoch 106:12-13; Jubilees 4:15,22). The Book of Jubilees holds that Enoch was taken so that he may bear witness against the misdeeds of the generations at the Day of Judgment. He will offer incense on Mt Qatar, which is the Mountain of the East among the four sacred mountains (Eden, The Mount of the East (Qatar), Sinai and Zion), for the sanctification of the nations for the new creation in the Last Days (cf. Jub. 4:24-26). It may be that 3114 is associated with this event and the confinement of the Host to Tartarus. The time-frame is too spread out to be more definitive. However, the date in 3113 is seventy years before the birth of Noah and that base number (plus two = 72) is associated with the Heavenly Host and the nations that they were given to rule in years to come. Thus we appear to be speaking of the rule of the creation from this date. It is thus the beginning of the age of Satan as Morning Star over a Fallen Host.


The Rising of Venus is allocated to 1 Ahau. The date means the “1st of the Lord". Ahau is linguistically related to Yaho and may be a reference to the elohim of the Host.


The system is based on a twenty-day month, which has the name uinal. The word uinal means person or man. The number 20 is the number of biblical years required before a person is considered fully grown. There are 18 uinals to the Tun or year of 360 days. The prophetic year is thus stylised to enable man to symbolically develop. The five days are adjusted as explained in the Appendix to 210A.


The years are arranged so as to equal 100 cycles of 72 days, or 360 uinals (a year of months), totalling 7200 days, which is termed a Katun. 20 Katuns (years of months) equal 144,000 days, which is termed a Baktun.

A Bible student can thus see that the entire system is directed at the rule of the Morning Star under the Sun system. It symbolises the rule of the Morning Star over this age. The current Morning Star ruling over this age is Satan. The New Morning Star is Christ and his elect are the 144,000 under the Apostles. The calendar seems to be aimed at returning men as gods at the end of the age. However, it has no lunar basis.

The Venus rounds of the calendar plot the rise of the Morning Star and predict its occurrence.

The Mayan calendar thus represents the Sun system under Satan coming to a close in this age of the creation, as the end of the Great Year in 2012. The end date in 2012 is designated as 13.0.0.0.0 meaning that 13 Baktuns have passed, being 1,872,000 days.


The Tzolkin count is alleged to have started on the date 4 Ahau and will thus end on 4 Ahau; however, there is much argument now that the start was and the end should be on 13 Ahau.


The next Great Year will be under and symbolised by the New Morning Star.

 

The Mayan archaeological finds at Xultun in Guatamala published in early 2012 showed beyond question from the complete building found in the earliest Mayan constructions that the Long Count was expected to go on for some seven thousand years and well after the transition of 21 December 2012.  Traditionally, Mayans collapsed their old structure and build on the rubble but this early find showed they simply filled the building and then built so that the complete murals were intact and the calendar and its calculations and notations were all intact.  The Long Count ended on 21 December 2012 and went on for the next Long Count under the new morning star and showed a new rotation. The Mayan System was thus designed to change in 2012 and appears to have been set up well over a thousand years ago. The find is dated by science to the 9th century and predates other finds by centuries.

The Mayan civilisation occupied Central America from about 2000 BCE until its decline and assimilation following the colonisation by the Spanish from the 15th century onwards. Many early Mayan sites are still hidden or uncatalogued. The ruins at Xultun were first discovered in 1912 and mapping efforts in the 1920s and 1970s laid out much of the site's structure.


A simple explanation of the complex interrelating systems is in the Appendix to that paper.

 

Let us now look at some incidental prophecies dealing with 2012.

 

Indian Rattlesnake Prophecy

The Cherokee Indians have a calendar system and beliefs similar to the Mesoamericans. Horn on pages 311-313 of his work refers to the Cherokee Rattlesnake or Chikamaugan Prophecies of 1811-1812.


The prophecies made by the tribe at that time are viewed as likely referring to the return of the feathered serpent god Quetzelcoatl in the year 2012. Both the Mayan and Cherokee calendars end in the year 2012. Horn holds this to be when astronomical phenomena related to Jupiter, Venus, Orion and Pleiades cause the “powers” of the star systems to “awaken.”


The portion of the rattlesnake prophecy is as follows:


“At this time [2012] of the fingers striking Jupiter that [the] Orion star system will awaken. And the Pleiades and Orion will war once again as in old. Jupiter and Venus will awaken to its destiny of Time/Untime of cycles. Orion will war with Pleiades, Jupiter will war with Venus... In the year... 2012 an alignment will take place both on the Cherokee calendar and in the heavens of the Rattlesnake Constellation... It is the time of the double headed serpent stick. It is the time of the red of Orion and Jupiter against the white blue of Pleiades and Venus... In the year ... 2012 the Cherokee Rattlesnake Constellation will take on a different configuration. The Snake itself will remain, however, upon the Rattlesnake shall be added upon its head feathers, its eyes will open and glow, wings spring forth as a winged rattlesnake. It shall have hands and arms and in its hands shall be a bowl. The bowl will hold blood. Upon its tail of seven rattles shall be the glowing and movement of Pleiades.


The Rattlesnake shall become a feathered rattlesnake or feathered serpent of Time/Untime [Quetzalcoatl?].
And upon the Rattlesnake is also the Milky Way. A crossing of the Milky Way shall be seen at these times [2012]. And the Cherokee Calendar shall end in the year 2012... [with] the coming of the Pale one once again.”

The end of the Calendar of the Mayans is generally held to be 21 December 2012 so also with the Cherokee. These astral signs are quite dramatic and the return of the feathered serpent is scheduled for this time and the Demons are using this sequence to deal with the establishment of the False Prophet and the Antichrist. The Religious figure is supporting the Political figure.


The period of establishment based on background chatter from the stargazers is in this year of the Tiger in what approximates December and will rise through to 2012 from these other prophecies.

2012 and the Aztecs

The discovery of the Aztec Calendar Stone in Mexico in the old site of the Tenochtitlan Temple below the Mexico City Cathedral, on whose site it stands, saw further explanation of the date. The Spaniards had buried it there and it was rediscovered in 1790. The date 21 December 2012 is the end of the Fifth Age of the Sun god Tonatiuh which began in 3114 BCE, as did the Mayan system. Tonatiuh demanded human sacrifices (over 20,000 a year) in addition to delivering important prophecies. He was also known as the Lord of the Thirteen days (I Death to 13 Flint). This is also sacred to Freemasons.

 

Both Aztecs and Maya believed that the First Age or First Sun was when giants lived on the earth and they were destroyed by a great flood. 

 

This last and Fifth Age ends on 21 December 2012.

 

Horn has a good section on this aspect from page 278 onwards. In that section he shows how the Jesuits and the Freemasons were working hand in hand to decorate the Capitol Dome in Washington DC with the occult symbols found in Mexico.

 

The Capitol Dome and the Obelisk

The Capitol Dome and the Obelisk are used for the purpose of deifying every passing occultist of high rank to that of a god. Every president is deified and ascended into the Womb of Isis which is in fact the purpose of the Dome and its decorations. Each ceremony since that of Washington is merely to see them reach their apotheosis or their deification and each ceremony is merely preparatory for the final apotheosis in 2012. The dimensions of the obelisk are based on the number 666.

 

The dome and the obelisk represent Isis and Osiris; the female and male principles. The obelisk at St Peters is the exact one that was at Heliopolis the Temple at On, and the one dedicated to Ra/ Osiris and also Isis. The dome and obelisk on the Capitol represent the same system. The circles around the obelisks represent the female organ of Isis with the Phallus of Osiris rising from it erect.

 

The dome of the Capitol was painted by the Italian Brumidi who was organised and worked under Jesuit control. He was sent to Mexico City to the Cathedral to copy the Aztec Calendar stone which he did. He returned to Washington and began working for the Freemasons in the decoration of the ceiling of the Dome on which he painted all the pagan gods and the Aztec calendar stone which ends in 2012. It did not come from the Mayans but the Toltecs and ends at the same time. The Jesuits worked hand in hand with the Masons and have done for centuries. Conflict is a myth. 

 

There is no doubt that they are all aware and they all reverence the pagan gods they represent. Washington’s body was never placed there. It is an ongoing symbol of Apotheosis or the making of the deity and its resurrection to the heavens as a god.  There are three levels there as there are three chambers in the pyramids in Egypt.

  

Various Aspects

The year 2012 has significance to the Satanists and Masonic occultists and we will examine those aspects.

 
We will look at the occult symbolism of 2012 from the Kabbalistic aspects from the Zohar and then from the Masonic occult symbolism as also enshrined in the Vatican.

 

The Year 2012 is also found in the reconstruction of the I Ching or the Book of Change when a graph was constructed of the sequences of the Book of Change based on the Wen Yen commentary. It is constructed from the structure of the 64 hexagrams.

 

Done in 1973 when Terrence and Dennis McKenna produced this work, it was independent of any knowledge of the Mayan Calendar.

 

The fluctuations occurred and the last phase occurred coinciding with 11 September 2001 and disappears off the graph on 21 December 2012. This period appears to be the great conflagration intended for the Last Days.

 

Web bot Project

The recently formed Web bot project has been picking up background chatter on the internet and began producing dates of catastrophes. It predicted September 11, 2001 in June 2001, and predicts global devastation in late December 2012 (Horn, p. 309).

 

What is most likely is that the events of September 11 were discussed on internet traffic and the web bot began compiling the background data.

 

2012 and the Zohar

The Kabbalist work of the Zohar was produced over 700 years ago and was written in medieval Aramaic. It contains mystical commentary on the Pentateuch. In addition to commentary on Scripture in the “Vaera” Section (Vo. 3, sect. 34) includes “The signs heralding the Mashiach (Messiah).” The Zohar predicts the appearance of the Messiah in late 2012. The Kabbalists did not acknowledge the Christ as Messiah and are influenced by the occult in the extreme.  Horn himself said this could be the unveiling of the Antichrist. He said that he had a discussion with J.R. Church of Prophecy News regarding the Zohar at verses 476 – 483 who was of the opinion that it signalled the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, The Great Tribulation, according to the Zohar, will commence in 2012 (Horn, p. 313).

 

This will coincide with the timing of the declaration of the False Messiah from 2010-2012 as detailed in the paper The False Messiah (No. 067B) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p067b.html.

 

Also the next Pope is said to be the last pope presiding at the time of the destruction of Rome (see the paper The Last Pope (No. 288) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p288.html).

These events appear to be going to coincide.

 

According to Catholic prophecy, he will leave Rome over the bodies of his priests.

 

The year 2012 will also be the end of that age, and the comments in Mathew 24 about the days of Noah are being held to mean the heavens will be in great upheaval as was the case in the time of Noah and the end of the other Aeon or age.

 

The basis of 2012 in prophecy

What is so significant about 2012 to the Fallen Host and why are other occult numbers so important? How did they get to be enshrined in Occult philosophy and theology?

 

Satan knows the length of time he has been given. It is determined by God’s Calendar.

 

The Jubilee System

We will now look at how the jubilee system works and what its significance is in prophecy.

The jubilee years run in the sequence of 27 and 77 of the current era, and BCE it was in 24 and 74 BCE.

The way in which the jubilees can be calculated and identified is explained in the paper
Reading the Law with Ezra and Nehemiah (No. 250)  at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p250.html and also in the paper The Meaning of Ezekiel's Vision (No. 108) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p108.html.

God does not give us laws we cannot follow and everything for the Restoration of the Law and the Testimony is already contained in Scripture.

The fifty-year cycle is comprised of seven sets of seven-year cycles and in the sixth year of the seventh cycle we are given a treble harvest to take us through the Seventh Sabbath year and the Fiftieth year of the Jubilee. The Jubilee Year is blown from Atonement of the Sabbath Year to Atonement of the Jubilee Year. From Atonement of the Fiftieth year all lands are restored and the land is ploughed in that "eighth" year to allow the harvest in Abib of the ninth year which is the first year of the new jubilee. This sequence is explained in detail in the paper God's Calendar (No. 156) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p156.html and the paper
Tithing (No. 161)  at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p161.html.

In the second century BCE the proto-Pharisees who had been influenced by the Gnostics at Alexandria introduced a bogus 49-year jubilee sequence and have tried to break the sequence of the law and the cycles ever since. That distortion and the methods and the timing are explained in the paper Distortion of God's Calendar in Judah (No. 195B) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p195b.html.

The works of Josephus reflect this distortion where he, as a Pharisee, tries to insert their views but has to state the Roman decrees as they were made which show the correct Temple Calendar and the paper shows that fact as does the archaeological evidence we have found, which is in accordance with the Temple calendar.

 

The understanding of the jubilees and their break up is essential to understanding the plan of God. The jubilees fit into the structure of the creation week.  The cycles of the jubilees were started from the commencement of the rule of Satan after the closure of Eden.


The chronology of the Bible sets the creation of Adam and Eve in the year 4004 BCE. The Usshur chronology was issued with the 1611 version of the KJV.


However, Satan was not given his complete dominion until after that. Satan was given six thousand years to rule this earth as god of this world (cf. 2Cor. 4:4). The Churches of God have always understood that the week was the six days of work and the seventh day or Sabbath represented the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. These days were understood to represent a thousand years as Peter said in his text (2Pet. 3:8). A Day is but a thousand years unto the lord and a Thousand years is but a day.


If we took the six-thousand-year rule of Satan from 4004 at the creation of Adam then we arrive at the year 1996/7 and the Millennium should have started. However, Adam could not be judged under the law because he had not yet reached thirty. He was created as an adult (i.e. at twenty years of age) but he had to be given thirty years to mature before he could be judged just as Christ had to be given thirty years.

Christ was baptised and tested in the year 27 CE which he declared as the Jubilee or “acceptable year of the Lord” and he then went to be tested. In the year 3976 BCE Adam was tested and he failed and the garden was closed. The sequence of the jubilees of the cursed earth began. Over the first period of 40 jubilees the earth was given time to repent and it did not and God destroyed the antediluvian world and then called Abraham from Ur of Chaldea to prepare for the coming of the Messiah who was to be incarnated after the next 40 jubilees. God then established the church as the Temple of God and gave it forty jubilees in the wilderness. The sixth thousand years and Satan’s rule ends in the year 2027. These 120 jubilees are the six thousand years. The 49-year jubilee is a satanic attack so that the Church of God is deceived and does not understand the plan of God. God gave us two witnesses; or rather four witnesses but one is grouped in three. One of those witnesses was in the life of Moses and the other was in the Rule of the Kings of Israel. The significance is explained in the papers Rule of the Kings Part I: Saul (No. 282A) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p282a.html; Rule of the Kings Part II: David (No. 282B) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p282b.html; and Rule of the Kings Part III: Solomon and the Key of David (No. 282C) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p282c.html.

 

2012 in the Chinese system

It is no accident that the system was set in place so that the Year 2012 was the year of the Dragon and 2013 is the year of the Snake. The conflict period from the Year of the Tiger in 2010 is the commencement of the conflict and struggle to 2013. The Occultists and Satanists believe they will control the world in 2013.

 

Satan’s Plan

We don’t have to be all that bright to work out, once we know the jubilees, what Satan intends to do. The Bible tells us he intends to destroy the world and it will be plunged into darkness. Satan knows from the Bible that Christ is sent to cut his time short otherwise there would be no flesh left alive.

 

From the Fall of Jericho and the instructions of Messiah as Captain of the Army of the Lord we know that Christ must be here seven years before the Sabbath Year before the Millennium. For an understanding of this prophecy look at the paper The Fall of Jericho (No. 142) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p142.html.

 

Satan knows that the Law must be read as a witness and that God does nothing except He warns His people through His servants the prophets. In these Last Days He uses the church. The Law had been read on the previous two Sabbath years of 1998 and 2005. The next Sabbath year is 2012 and the Law will read again in that year. That will be the third time the law is read in a Sabbath year. From the New Moon of the Eight Month Satan is allowed to unleash the Antichrist and the False Prophet on the world. He has between 21 December 2012 and the Coming of the Messiah by Trumpets 2024 to deceive the whole world and destroy it.

 

Thus he knows that when his period is up the Two Witnesses will come to witness against him. Elijah will restore all things, including the Nexus of the Law. Thus when Elijah does come and restores the nexus of the law Satan’s rule is effectively over. This fact gives us cause for some optimism concerning that period.  However, his minions will fight on.

 

His plan is to produce the Great Deception at the end of his period so that even the very elect will be deceived if it were possible. Thus he knew from the beginning what the sequence of the end must be and the time that the Nexus of the Law would be restored and his period of rule would come to an end. He established the false premise of 2012 as the beginning of the end of his work and the year that he would set for his occult servants to do his will and deceive the nations to bring them to total subjection.

 

Thus all occult works had to be in accordance with his plan and according to his numbers and his system as they were constrained by God. From that year the destruction of the planet and its total subjection is planned.

 

Objectives of Satan’s Plan

The plans of Satan are revealed through the pronouncements of his servants in the occult.

 

The American General, Albert Pike, had been enticed into the Illuminati by Guiseppe Mazzini. In 1871, Pike, as 33rd degree Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish rite of Freemasonry’s Southern Jurisdiction, to which he had been elected in 1859, completed his military blue print for three world wars and multiple revolutions throughout the world.

 

WWI: Objectives: To destroy the Tsar of Russia as promised by Nathan Mayer Rothschild in 1815. The Tsar was to be replaced with Communism which was to be used to attack religions and predominantly Christianity. The war was to be fomented by playing the British and Germans off against one another.

 

WWII was to be used to foment the controversy between Fascism and Political Zionism. The Holocaust was used to advance anti-German sentiment. The purpose was to destroy the Rothschild creation of Fascism and increase the power of Zionism and also to raise the power of Communism to equal the combined Christian world.

 

The combined Christian world in the meantime was to be infiltrated by Occultists and Illuminists in all areas and at all levels. The US was a key in this satanic misuse of Christianity as was the Roman priesthood. The post-WWII period was used to advance this aspect most effectively. These aspects were not originally disclosed as part of the Pike plan but were the background of Satan’s plan for the end result which we will discuss shortly.

 

WWIII was to be used to play the Muslims off against the political Zionists, and destroy the Christian world by induced conflicts forced by the occultists among their leaders and controlling classes into a state of mental, physical, spiritual and economic exhaustion.

 

On 15 August 1871 Pike wrote a letter, now in the British Museum, to Guiseppe Mazzini stating the following:

“We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effects of absolute atheism: the origins of savagery and most bloody turmoil.

 

Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate those destroyers of civilisation and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose spirits will be from that moment without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal, but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer be brought finally into public view.

 

A manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism; both conquered and exterminated at the same time.” (cf. also A.C. Hitchcock, The Synagogue of Satan, RCP 2009, pp. 73-75)

 

Pike was the most powerful Freemason in America and remained so until 1891.

 

In his work Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Scottish Freemasonry Pike clearly stated the satanic objectives of Freemasonry. He held the rite to be the worship of Lucifer but such knowledge is confined to the 28th to the 32nd degree officers.

 

He said in Morals and Dogma, “The true name of Lucifer, the Kabbalists say, is that of Yahweh reversed: for Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God...For the initiates this is not a Person but a Force, created for good, but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of Liberty and Freewill...

 

LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendours intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!” (ibid., p. 75).

 

Do not doubt that these three world wars were planned 120 years ago by an American Freemason in America and that system has ever since worked to that end and so have all its successors and hirelings.

 

The current actions against Islam are but a long planned event and the hysteria raised against Islam and Communism in the West from the US is a planned strategy of the occultists in the service of Satan from the US aided by those in the British Commonwealth. 

 

Numerical Structure of the Occult

The numbers that are of high significance to the fallen Host are 33 and 13. The number 33 is derived from the fact that Satan took one third or 33.33 repeater of the Host. That is the reason that the compass and set square is set to exemplify 33 which is also the rank of the highest Freemasons in their occult system. It represents the number of the fallen Host.

 

The Host descended on Ardis the summit of Mt Hermon. This was chosen because it stands on the 33.33 latitude 2012 miles from the 0 degrees equator. Thus the symbols fit into the structure of the fallen Host and the time frame they were given and planned.

 

The most important occult work is 3 Enoch and a most important witness against them. Enoch was transformed into the occult figure Metatron and this figure represents a higher form of esoteric knowledge to the demons. As Metatron, Enoch became the “Angel in the Whirlwind.” The early occultists were practicing astrologers and they formed a special occult group with a committee of 300 as their informed elite.

 

This form of mysticism is behind the child sacrifice and the rituals behind the Bohemian Grove ceremonies and the ritual cremations of children or effigies termed “Dull Care”.

 

When the early astronomers, who were actually astrologers, fixed the grid in degrees longitude the 0 degrees longitude was fixed at a point 2012 miles to the west of Mt Hermon so that the point of descent was 33.33 degrees longitude and 33.33 degrees latitude.

 

Everything of their calendars and their systems was set around these numbers. Thus the long term plan was set in process thousands of years ago. They planned around it because that was what God had given them as a limitation in time.

 

Retroviruses, pandemics and the Nations

Part of the warfare of the fallen Host will be in the use of the destruction of the human species by retroviruses and pandemics. These problems will be deliberately induced by the Satanists using their pharmaceutical interests. They will make a significant reduction in the human population by these means. The objective is to get the world populace down to below 500 million, so the Satanists think, but the real satanic objective is to completely wipe out the human population.  

 

At the Tower of Babel a very significant event occurred and all mankind had their tongues confused and they were changed significantly by altering their lip and thus their tongue (Gen. 11:1-9). This was done by Yahovah.

 

The easiest way to achieve that was simply by altering the DNA of the nations with retroviruses. The purpose was to scatter them and slow their development.

 

Indeed Horn argues that Genesis 10:8 says that Nimrod began to be a mighty man before the Lord, being derived from the word Gibbowr (SHD 1368) which was used of the Nephilim, means that he had suffered genetic distortion and had begun to be a Nephilim (Horn, ibid., p. 194-195).

 

Be that as it may, genetic mutation by retroviruses and radiation is not only possible but also it is almost certain.

 

Population reduction has already been stated by these elite occultists as an objective.

 

The text in Genesis 6:2 said that the Sons of the Ha Elohim or Sons of The God took to themselves daughters of men. They were determined to be fit extensions of the process of reproduction for these sons of God.

 

It was thus argued that the Nephilim or offspring of these beings resulted in Genetic disruption of the Human species which is what is inferred from the texts and the Book of Enoch, and the Book of Jubilees carried on this view. It was expressed in the Books of Enoch (1 Enoch 10:3-8), Jubilees, Baruch, Genesis Apochryphon and was remarked on by Philo and Josephus and we find it also in the book of Jasher at 4:18 where it explicitly states that the mixture of animal species was made to provoke the Lord.

 

There is no doubt that Noah was saved because he had not corrupted his DNA in that he was pure in his generations.

 

What the opinion of the ancients was in regard to this was that the Watchers had begun experimenting with the mixing of animals and were punished for it as well as breeding with human females.  It appears that these beings began taking women and altering the DNA of the human species with animal DNA or such structures along with that of their own system or devices.

 

The experimentation with animal and human DNA is leading in that direction to the same end now as it was when the Nephilim were wiped out.

 

We can expect to see the same thing happen again. It is under experimentation now and robotics are being used for cybernetic organisms in warfare right now.

 

The science will be used again to extend the purpose and rule of the Demons.

 

Horn extends this view and quotes their occult followers in this view.

“Osiris will rise in splendour from the dead and rule the world through those sages and philosophers in whom wisdom has become incarnate” (Manly P. Hall, 33rd Degree Freemason).

 

“The World will soon come to us for its Sovereigns and Pontiffs. We shall constitute the equilibrium of the Universe, and be rulers over the Masters of the World” (Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry).

 

I am Yesterday and I am Today, and I have the power to be born a second time (Attributed to Osiris from the Egyptian Book of the Dead (quotes from Horn, ibid., p. 181).

 

The Book of the Dead actually states that Osiris was resurrected, and in E.A. Wallis Budge’s translation of The Book of the Dead (Arkana 1986) he says in Chapter XVIII (p. 116) in footnote 2 that a “Tet” was set up on the annual commemoration of the resurrection of the body of Osiris that took place annually at Mendes.  A Tet is shown in vignette in chapter CLV on page 521 ibid., which follows the prayers to Osiris for the Resurrection on pages 518-520.    

 

The Satanists thus think they have powers over the resurrection and will control the Universe on an ongoing basis.

 

The coming battle is thus, for them, a fight to the death for control of the creation.

 

The Great Seal of the US

In 1933 President Franklyn Delano Roosevelt (allegedly Rosenfelt a descendant of Claes Martenzen van Roosevelt, a Dutch Sephardic Jew who moved to the US) ordered the reverse of the Great Seal with the Eye of Horus and the motto Novus Ordo Seclorum placed on the back of the US Dollar Bill.

 

The seal of the US has a series of occult symbols and the eagle is in fact a phoenix as the early designs show. I will not go into all the symbolism here but it is enough to deal with the Capstone which is detached and has the eye of Horus placed upon it and the seventy-two stones.

 

The seventy-two stones represent the sons of God in the original text of Deuteronomy 32:8 which was changed by the Kabbalist Sopherim to disguise the Host.  The seventy-two are in charge of the nations and the arrangement is to harness them by occult usage of the Tetragrammaton as the name of God so that they are controlled and the world is harnessed for occult purposes by these Satanists.

 

The number 1776 is not the date of an event although it is the date of the foundation of the Illuminati by Adam Weishaupt.

 

The date was used to declare the Messiah of the Sibylline Oracles as two beings using the numerical values of the Sybil for the name of the Messiah. The number of the God Appollo as Messiah is attributed as 888. The two messiahs of 888 + 888 = 1776. Thus 1776 was used as the date to declare the preparation of the time of change from the Messiah, the Christ, to the rise of Appollo under the Satanists in 2012.  The USA was formed for this very purpose.

 

The Oracles state in Book 1: 324-333:

Then indeed the son of the great God will come, incarnate, likened to mortal men on earth, bearing four vowels and the consonants in him are two. I will state explicitly the entire number for you. For eight units and an equal number of tens in addition to these and eight hundreds will reveal the name to men who are sated with faithlessness. But you consider in your heart the son of the Most High, Immortal God. He will fulfil the law of God – he will not destroy it – bearing alikeness which corresponds to types, and he will teach everything....(tr. J.J. Collins in James H. Charlesworth ed. The Psedepigraphical Writings, Vol. 1, Sibylline Oracles 1, p. 342 1:324-333).

 

As we saw the Satanists have tried to use the number 888 of the Sybilline Oracles to duplicate the Messiah and replace him as the return of the god Appollo, and thus the age was to extend from 1776 until 2012 and for which purpose the USA was founded.

 

There are a number of good works on the subject and Horn is a good example.

 

The Great Seal of the USA is the pinnacle of symbolism of the Occult societies working within Freemasonry and the associate Illuminati and the secret societies generally.

 

Horn quotes Manly P. Hall (33rd degree Grand Master):

“Not only were many of the founders of the United Sates Government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe, which helped them to establish this country for a peculiar and particular purpose known only to the initiated few. The Great Seal is the signature of this exalted body – unseen and for the most part unknown – and the unfinished pyramid on the reverse side is a trestleboard setting for symbolically the task to the accomplishment of which the United States Government was dedicated from the day of its inception.” (Horn, ibid., p. 123)

 

There is thus no doubt that the US is the instrument of the New World Order and the enslavement of human society. The US and Britain are the Military arms of the Beast power; at least for the present and until their use has come to an end.

 

The New World Order motto of the seal is in fact a motto for the re-establishment of the age of the ancients under the Mystery cults which is in fact a descent in traditions from Nimrod to Osiris and his son or the resurrected being Horus. He is the god Apollo and on to the various deities of the mystery cults in whom he is portrayed as the dying God and the Resurrected Being. They are all the same deities – Osiris, Apollo, Adonis, Attis and Nimrod. The Apollyon of Revelation is assumed to be this deity returned (see also Charles Penglase, Greek Myths and Mesopotamia: Parallels and Influence in the Homeric Hymns and Hesiod). Penglase ties these deities together and traces them back to Ninurta, the King Enmerkar of Uruk, or Nimrod (cf. also Peter Goodgame, The Giza Discovery and also Horn, loc. cit., p. 135). 

 

That is why the US system is so locked into the Binitarian/Trinitarian system of Attis, Adonis, Osiris, Baal and they penetrate every organisation they can to force compliance.  It may well be the basis of the references by the WCG ministers to the Mesoamerican systems which they viewed with favour. 

 

The deity represented as Horus is the risen god the Satanists believe to be the Returned Deity who is the “divine child” returned from the heavens to establish his kingdom. This divine child symbol is portrayed in the masonry in Washington DC.

 

The Being awaited by the Satanists was foretold and was the real purpose of the establishment of the USA and its occult leadership. The Satanists in the NWO will attempt to bring the NWO into world control and using that control to destroy the morale of the world and all power to resist its operations.

 

What they do not realise is that they are being used in order to advance their order and to control the world so that the demons can effectively destroy mankind completely, including them. 

 

Horn advances the idea that from the Discovery at Giza they will use the DNA found there to replicate Osiris and resurrect him.

 

What they will do is set the scene for the release of the demons of the Bottomless Pit who will proceed to destroy mankind as foretold in the book of Revelation.  It is irrelevant whether they have found Osiris or not. All they have to do is provide a receptacle for the demon and it can be anyone.

 

This is the objective the Satanists have been working towards for centuries and millennia, long before the US was founded.

 

2016 in the occult

These occult prophecies related to 2012 also have a date three and a half years later in 2016.  Many speculate regarding the week of years in the last days. This position is of itself derived from a false prophecy or mistranslation of Daniel 9:25 used by Trinitarians especially in the US. The week of years in the last days will be used to express the period from Sabbath 2012 to the Sabbath Year of 2019. Others of the Trinitarian system try to tie the beginning in 2009 where the Antichrist system takes off quietly but as we see the Two Witnesses are not in Jerusalem. The Trinitarian Rapturists will try to claim that the Antichrist system was commenced in 2009. However, the execution of the duties of Elijah requires being misplaced to make sense of the sequence. Horn suggests that the three and a half days from 21 December 2012 and 25 December 2012 may be the death of the Witnesses where they are left for 3.5 days but that is not part of the sequence.  It is more likely that the period covers the 42 months of the Beast Power and their power comes to an end at that time in the Middle East and Europe. The Trinitarian system can make no real sense of the dates and time frames and produce conflicting scenarios (cf. Horn, ibid., pp. 267ff.).  

 

In order to tie the periods into place, the period of a generation, they allotted the seventy years of the life span to Matthew 24:34. However a generation has and is traditionally in prophecy 40 years and not 70 years.  Horn canvasses this time frame on page 270. In that way the time frame is comprised of seventy years from 1948 at the foundation of Israel to 2018 which ends in the year 2019 at the Last day of Adar but that seems not to be understood (cf. Horn, ibid, p. 270). Thus some have canvassed the period 2012-2019 as the seven-year period in question. However, God usually brings about massive change in accordance with the Calendar and the laws and thus the Third year is usually the year in which He executes changes so that the law is not disrupted. However, the Flood was done in accordance with the Sabbatical cycles.

 

The Kabbalist movie junk coming out of Hollywood is making noises about 2012 to 2018 as ending in judgment. However, long before that the period was being touted as ending in 2027 (at the jubilee).  The real end of the period is in 2025 for the Treble Harvest for the Sabbath and Jubilee in 2026-2027. Seven years beforehand is in Abib 2018.

 

Islam and 2012

Horn makes interesting reference to the Islamic author’s view in referring to the author of The Day of Wrath, Safar Ibn ‘Abd Al-Rahman Al-Hawali who wrote at www.IslamicAwakening.com:

“When Daniel specified the period between its distress and relief, between the era of anguish and the era of blessing, he put it as forty five years! We have already seen that he specified the time of the abomination of desolation as the year 1967, which is what in fact occurred. Therefore the end – or the beginning of the end – will be 1967 + 45 = 2012.”

 

We might thus deduce that if the Antichrist is established in 2012 then Islam will be deceived having placed the abomination of desolation in 1967 when Jerusalem was taken by Israeli forces.

 

2012 in Tibetan Buddhism

Over the last few years we have been getting consistent feedback from the Tibetan Buddhist monks in news reports that a great conflagration is to occur in 2012 and that extraterrestrials who have been watching the planet will intervene to save it.

 

One could well see that as demonic feedback leading us to believe that Watchers are coming to intervene to save the planet. The main question is which ones?  The fallen Host may well appear as angels of light for this last great deception. Indeed we should expect them to do so.

 

Economic Destruction in Preparation for 2012

The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) was a deliberately engineered event in accordance with strategic planning based on the Pike plans for the weakening of the world’s economic structure. It has been so successful that Britain’s elections in 2010 ensured that whoever was in a position to form government was handed a poison chalice and will not be able to reorganise the nation economically or structurally. The Conservative and Liberal Democrat Coalition is deeply troubled from the beginning. Greece is too stupid and its people too self absorbed to realise what it is doing to itself and may well place other nations of the EU in jeopardy. Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain are not far behind it.

 

The aim is to collapse the EU financially so the world financial controls are brought into play and one world currency is issued so that it can be controlled.

 

It has all been organised by these satanic tools to bring all mankind into slavery and they are stupid enough to think they can control it.

 

The US is being destroyed by its banking system and is deliberately destroying itself.   All of this was engendered for a specific end to commence in earnest from 2010.

 

Between 2010 and 2012 the world’s finances will be in an engineered crisis to enable world government using the so-called Global Warming Crisis and the fraudulent science to enforce population controls and social change to destroy the family and induce satanic controls in accord with the plans.

 

2012 Update

Since the release of this paper in 2010 everything said regarding the financial crisis has occurred or is occurring. Europe was deliberately thrown into the crisis and Greece was one of the countries used to engender panic in the markets.  The inherent weakness in the Eurozone system was one of individual national currencies.  That was done basically by the northern European countries to protect themselves against financial exploitation from what was seen as the indolent and corrupt south.  Greece had lied its way in and was allowed in because it would be the Achilles heel of the national based financial system of the Euro.

 

However, the plan to place the entire world on a One World Government under a New World Order requires the whole world to hand over its national sovereignty as prophesied in Scripture, which cannot be broken as Christ told us (Jn. 10:34-36).

 

Europe is the centre of the movement and the crisis was manufactured to come to a head in 2012, which it has. The austerity moves advanced by the Centre/Right of France and Germany and the nationalists in Greece, Italy and Spain and elsewhere resulted in large scale rioting and an electoral backlash to vote in the Leftists, as was expected and planned.  France elected a socialist and the EU bureaucrats then were given the golden opportunity to implement their planned Euro Bond system that supervened national financial controls and which was designed to force Germany to concede their national sovereignty to the European Central Bank and the Euro then was placed above national financial controls, as was planned long ago.

 

At the time of Pentecost 2012, as the crisis unfolded and Greece was set to exit the Eurozone and the Euro, the Eurozone bureaucrats then came forward with the brilliant idea that the solution was to form a Euro-wide bond system that transcended national sovereignty. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) made light of the Greek reaction. These problems were designed to capitalise on the weakness built into the financial system in the first place.  It was planned that the Americas would collapse and follow suit with the financial chaos of Europe unleashed on the world and the global systems planned to follow suit, one after the other. The whole world is forced to give its power to the Beast. The IMF, in cooperation with the World Bank, will work in the ten economic regions planned in the Club or agreement of Rome from 1956/7. Its implementation was agreed to in 1997 and is now being implemented.  This NWO of the Beast will bring the world to its knees over the 42 months of the system and the world will go to war on an ongoing basis.  The conflicts escalate from Pentecost 2012 and continue through to 21 December 2012 and on into 2013 and beyond. The conflicts do not end until the treble harvest of 2025.

 

The developing countries will go along with it because they will benefit from the punitive financial penalties against the West and they will be stupid enough to believe them.

 

Vaccines and western pharmaceuticals will be used to eliminate developing populations.

 

The result will be systematic world depopulation; in other words, mass murder on a scale never before seen.

 

2012 and the Vatican

In his work Windswept House (Broadway, NY, 1996) Malachi Martin described the ceremony for the enthronement of the Angel Lucifer as god in the Vatican with a concomitant service in South Carolina in the US also held symbolically on the 33rd parallel.  The ceremony took place on June 29, 1963.

 

The ceremony was conducted in accordance with Satanist prophecy that foretold that the Time of the Prince would be ushered in when a pope would take the name of the Apostle Paul. That requirement was the signal that the “Availing Time” had begun (Martin, p. 7). Paul VI was that pope. The number VI of itself had occult significance. The name John-Paul was of itself a continuation of the availing time. 

 

The Availing Time was the period from the enthronement of Lucifer in 1963 for a jubilee period of 49.5 years until 21 December 2012.

The jubilee of 50 years ends in June 2013 in the year of the Serpent. 

 

The ceremony in South Carolina in 1963 was controlled by Roman Catholic prelates in communication continually with the ceremony in the Vatican.

 

It was truly a Satanist ritual conducted by Satanists within the Roman Catholic Church both in the Vatican and in the US.

 

The “Targeting chapel” as it was called was conducted in the basement of a local parochial school properly furnished for the occasion. The ceremony involved the things that were necessary but which could not be conducted in the chapel in the Vatican such as sacrifice and child rape and the cacophony of satanic noise necessary to the service.

 

Martin wrote the work because he was most concerned over the total penetration of the Roman Catholic and the total Trinitarian church by Satanists whose aim was to control and destroy its influence by sex scandals and paedophilia and corruption.

 

Over the first twenty years of the Availing Time the use of altar girls had increased all over the world and the use of them in the US and the competitions around them had taken on the aura of beauty pageants minus the swim suits. The Slavic Pope was against them but he turned a blind eye to it all. So also to the abuse of annulments (over 50,000 per annum) and endless other topics while he pursued ecumenical objectives with all sorts of faiths including voodoo priests.

 

The emphasis of the “Slavic pope” against birth control also was against the interests of the US system and Martin details the conflicts and the use of an agent, allegedly Rosicrucian (given the fictional name “Gibson Appleyard” by Martin) in the US to go to Rome and speak with the pope re softening his stance on birth control.

 

The pope was opposed to the UN agency under Bischara Francis in favour of accelerated birth control which was part of the NWO objectives to reduce population. This included abortion. The move by the UN is to enforce abortion on demand in developing countries and the UN is using world financial controls to encourage it. There is a move right now to alter the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya to allow abortion on demand and they are including the introduction of Sharia Law for the Muslims to get them to vote for the amendments.

 

The US President was trying to pressure the pope into producing a declaration that two children per couple were to be the norm for both Catholics and non-Catholics alike. The Slavic pope had refused and thus negotiations were commenced to persuade him.

 

John Paul II gave in and prepared for his visit to Russia and the Ukraine. He stated clearly to “Appleyard” that the visit was organised and under the direct will of the Queen of Heaven. Thus he was pursing the objectives of the Goddess of the Mystery cults; in other words, those of Satan. At the same time the Vatican administrators tried to get him to sign a Resignation Protocol (cf. Martin, ibid., p. 521-522). John Paul II had allowed the RCC to be destroyed by the ravages of heretical teachers in the seminaries, by immoral bishops and cardinals in the congregations. He allowed the school children to be educated by non-Catholic systems and the nuns to be destroyed by waves of secularising feminists. He protected none of them and not even the church buildings.  Chapels were denuded of Altar and Tabernacles and Confessionals and statues (Martin, ibid., p. 642).

 

Benedict XVI replaced him in accordance with Malachy’s prophecy and is continuing the destruction in accord with the Satanist objectives and the Church will absorb other Trinitarian groups and be transformed on time as planned into the religion of the Beast power (see the paper WWIII Part II: The Whore and the Beast (No. 299B) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p299b.html).

 

The end result is to destroy all Christianity and turn the world religion into the worship of Lucifer.

 

Martin’s work is a very good explanation of the control and political games played in the Vatican and the influence of Satanism there.

 

The Final Deception

The elect will have to have their wits about them.

 

This sequence will be confusing as the Witnesses have to restore the Nexus of the Law for 1263.5 days before Christ returns.

 

It is fairly safe to assume that the Adversary would not waste so much time and effort in producing such comprehensive occult symbols unless they were critical to the events of the last days.

 

We should also note that the world’s calendar is the product of satanic influence on the monk Dennis Exiguus or Dennis the Short who constructed the calendar in error and set the date for 1 AD, over five years too late. Thus the dates and sequence were all organised in accordance with the Occult Timetable set in the current era. Look at the papers Christ’s Age at Baptism and the Duration of His Ministry (No. 019) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p019.html and Significance of the Year 2000 (No. 286) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p286.html.

 

There appears to be more than a coincidence that the mistake made by Dennis the Short sets the current era in accordance with the other national prophecies that equate with 2012 and the setting of the fallen Host and Mt Hermon in the world grid.  

 

The major world figures are the unwitting and many witting servants of Satan. They are more deceived than most and think they will have power and control for millennia as we have just seen. They are deluded fools and they have no longer than 2025 to live unless they repent but they have learned the deeper things of Satan and that carries its own penalty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   q
