Megas Thlipsis - Insights into Allegorical Models and Signs

21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. 22 Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. ~ Matthew 24:21-22

I've been writing about this Pesah season as megas thlipsis, great tribulation. It will be a season like no other. Time will be in flux, and there are perspectives where time will be shifted into the future. A great deception will be manifest and nearly everyone will fall prey to it - but a small number are about to be protected in what can be described as a space-time ark. Aaron and I still have plenty of questions about what's coming but answers continue to come as the Lord abides faithful to His promise of help. Insight is being brought into the scriptures and through multimedia presentations, and signs are being observed. More on signs later.

As demonstrated in Will No One Know the Day?, knowing the time of the Lord's coming is a key thread that runs through the entire 24th chapter of Matthew. Now, with a greater understanding of megas thlipsis, and seeing that as a central thread woven into the time theme of the passage, verse 37 suggests another point of comparison.

For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. ~ Matthew 24:37

Some will be like Noah, knowing the time in advance. It was Noah entered the ark, with his family and the creatures who were appointed to salvation, and so it will be on that same pattern. Did you read the accounts in Genesis and Jasher? An argument can be made that they entered a week before destruction was brought by the flood. Have you grasped how the water as time metaphor applies?

13 On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark, 14 they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds. 15 So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life. 16 Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed (Strongs H5462: sagar) it behind him. ~ Genesis 7:13-16

The Hebrew word for, “closed,” (verse 16) was used once before in a specially related context. In Genesis 2, the Lord God the Lord closed up something else, Adam's flesh, after putting him into a deep sleep and removing that which became his bride.

21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed (Strongs H5462: sagar) up the flesh at that place. 22 The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” ~ Genesis 2:21-23

That is a prophetic model of the Bride Theft, when the Bride is taken out of the Body of Christ, the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45). Of course, this is not to say that the body of Christ is the ark, because the Bride has been sealed outside, not inside. See instead the pattern of how the Lord God will remove a Bride from the fleshy fleshly Body and make them separate distinct entities. See also that the Body of Christ is put into a deep sleep when the Bride is about to be removed. Is the Body of Christ not being anesthetized?

In the account given in Luke 17, the days of the Son of Man are compared to the days of Noah and also the days of Lot. Don't skip over the fact that we're literally talking about time parallels here; "days of." In Lot's day, most were destroyed but a few were saved, those who had been sealed inside Lot's house when the visiting angels shut the door (Genesis 19:10-11). The parallel to when God shut the door of the ark should be obvious, when those appointed for salvation were sealed inside. (Genesis 7:13-16) For those saved in Lot's house, it was made so that the men of Sodom who had been struck with blindness could not even find the doorway. Think about it as a time-space ark that vanished from their sight, with undiscoverable access. When fire and brimstone rained down from heaven destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, those who had been sealed inside Lot's house had already escaped to safety. Just such an escape to the mountains for safety is appointed for some who live in Judea during megas thlipsis, whose flight will be triggered when they see the abomination of desolation, according to Matthew 24:15-20, where the connection is established with Daniel 12.

This is definitely not an academic exercise, here. This is what real prepping looks like, the receiving of timely help from the Lord Who opens our eyes and ears so we may find our way through the narrow door, or the martyr's reward, wherever our good Shepherd may lead.

I mentioned the model of the Passover a couple days ago, referencing it from Hebrews 11. This is a fundamental model. What I wrote in The Exodus Archetype is a useful collateral study, if you're not already familiar with it. The houses of the believing Hebrews were models of the ark of salvation. Those who were being saved had been obedient to select and slay a lamb. The lamb's blood was put on the posts and lintel of the doors, creating a blood seal. When destruction visited the land in the plague of the firstborn, those sealed inside were safe. They escaped destruction, making their way through the sea. When the Passover week was over, the Hebrews (crossing over) had been passed over by destruction, arriving safely on the other side. They passed through the sea in martial array, in ranks of 50. They emerged as victors of a time-war, in type; alive, completely whole, bearing with them the spoils of Egypt.

Other Pesah models of the space-time ark are easily found, like when Israel had been brought into Egypt about four centuries earlier.

Joseph had arranged to bring all his brothers to Egypt, announcing to them that the Lord had sent him ahead to provide salvation. (Genesis 45) See Joseph and Benjamin - Part I and Part II for more detail. He had brought them into his private chamber for a special meal. Egypt was then a type of heaven, and only Joseph and his brothers supped together in that heavenly compartment. Joseph sent every other man away. Joseph (Y'shua) commissioned the brothers (144k sons of Israel), and perhaps Benjamin (the Bride) with them, sending them on a mission to quickly bring Jacob-Israel back to Egypt, so the family could reside in a special place for protection from the famine, in Goshen, the best of Egypt. The prophetic modeling in that scenario was begun at Pesah, and I believe the mission was completed at Shavuot, Pentecost, the wheat harvest. As I understand Revelation 7, there is a megas thlipsis that extends out to the completion of that mission and the harvest of the great multitude of Wheat saints.

For another private Pesah dinner with Y'shua modeling the space-time ark, consider the upper room where Judas was revealed. The large upper room is a spacious heavenly chamber. The context features the looming threat from the religious persecutors, and the work of the betrayer.

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. 2 The chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people. 3 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve. 4 And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them. 5 They were glad and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd. 7 Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.” 9 They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?” 10 And He said to them, “When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters. 11 And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 12 And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there.” 13 And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover. 14 When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. 15 And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ~ Luke 22:1-16

If the timing on this scenario looks different from the account in John, there's a reason for that. Are you familiar with what I've been led to write about John 13? Efforts made by scholars to merge or harmonize the accounts have met with some success, but I believe multiple time frames serve the Lord's multiple agendas. Judas is named as one of the 12, and the inclusion of the time number draws our attention. The man carrying the water in the pitcher is a sign to them, and to us. Water signals time. The message to be conveyed identifies the Lord as “The Teacher.” Why? Listen up, students, because there's a lesson here. In Luke's account, we see selected aspects of the megas thlipsis being dramatized. Threats surround them, and the betrayer is present, and an active participant, until he's sent on his special mission. Yet they were safe. He calls that meal in the upper room, the Passover. It speaks to me further of the upcoming Pesah week. Why does the naming of Passover seem to be used so loosely with respect to time? Perhaps it has something to say about time being in flux, warping ....

Preparations were made in advance of when the Pascal lamb was slain and eaten. The first official preparation for the feast was made with a lamb being selected on the 10th day of the 1st month. That's pointing to March 31, 2015, if you're paying attention. Many elements of these several prophetic models are soon to be fulfilled. Stay alert and watch. Some models suggest a sealing in from the 15th through the 21st days, the duration of the Feast, like how Noah and the others were in the ark for a week before destruction came. With what light I have at present, others seem to suggest a separation and sealing a few days earlier, even on the 12th day. We suspect there are agendas being advanced with diverse groups of saints on differing schedules.

In Acts 12, we find one of my favorite Bride Theft scenarios. (Passing Through the Iron Gate) Here's another chapter numbered with the time number, 12. Peter, playing the role of the Bride of Christ in this prophetic allegory, had been isolated from the outside world. He alone was saved in this scenario. The prison as ark of salvation. Note that James was killed by the sword at the time when Peter was imprisoned, who was quite possibly modeling those of the Bride company appointed for martyrdom. Megas Thlipsis. Herod (meaning, heroic) is a type of the Antichrist, the new incarnation of the hero of old.

1 Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them. 2 And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword. 3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. Now it was during the days of Unleavened Bread. 4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out before the people. 5 So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church to God. 6 On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison. 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter’s side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And his chains fell off his hands. 8 And the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” 9 And he went out and continued to follow, and he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. 11 When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.” ~ Acts 12:1-11

That Acts 12 scenario is a cryptic time prophecy, which I was led to from the one in Genesis 45, and these both identify this third year of the Shemitah as the one appointed for the Bride Theft. This revelation insight represented an absolutely HUGE advance in the progressive unfolding to me of the chronology of the end times, and the way of its unfolding through metaphor and allegory. The Lord had prompted me to ask about what I only knew to call, "the rapture," back in the day. “If it's not at the beginning of the seven, when is it?” What followed was insight into Genesis 45:6, Luke 12:38 (there's that chapter number again) and Acts 12:10. The answer was, after two years, in the third. It was a count I related to the celestial sign of Yom Teruah, 1991.

“Guard,” in Acts 12:10, is the Greek word, phulake, the same word that is translated, “watch”, in Luke 12:38. The years of this Shemitah are the watches of the night.

Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. ~ Luke 12:38

Phulake, is the word for, “watch,” in Matthew 24:43!

43 But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. ~ Matthew 24:43

The verses that flank that one speak to me about the need to endure, staying vigilant, on the alert for further refinement in this season with our attention fixed on the Shepherd Himself! Have we really received The Love of The Truth? These are the proving hours.

There's more of these scenarios to be brought forth but I want to pause for some personal testimony. The Lord has been keeping it real, keeping it very personal with engaging interaction in a variety of familiar ways. Aside from the timely provision of tokens of glory and His quick response to our frequent petitions for help, He has been granting the meaning of some cryptic dreams and visions. Closure.

Here's a dream Aaron received on August 17, 2014. We hadn't been led to published it until now.

“I was in some place with my dad. It was a house or something. My mom was still gone. It was winter time. Looking outside I see mountains or hills with an incredible amount of snow and ice. I've found myself buried under snow and ice, trying to climb out, but I couldn't. At this point I'm not sure if I woke up, or whether the dream just changed.

It was the Superbowl, and there was a major upset of a very unusual kind something strange happened, but I don't know what. I tried to call someone to tell them about it, but it was a strange sort of phone like the kind you would find in a hotel in the 1990's. The cord was ripped out of the phone somehow. I remember seeing something like a pay phone booth with many people around in a state of extreme excitement.

At this point the dream shifted again and I was in some sort of large glass type building on a lower level double door with large panes of glass looking outside. I was with someone, or maybe more than one I don't know. I recalled there was still in extreme type of excited energy all around, but not necessarily a good, or happy kind.

The next thing I know I'm looking out of the large panes of glass on the double door and I see a massive wall of rushing water. I was able to hold the doors closed but the power of the water forced it open a crack and some water came in. I said, "Displaced by water and time." Then another massive wall of water came much larger and stronger than the first, and I and two others were washed away with me. I remember seeing the three of us being washed away by two large trees that look like palm trees, and someone said, "God will make a place for us."

Then I woke up.”

Until the Lord was pouring out more insight about water-as-time, in the context of the season when the Devil has control over time, we really didn't know what to make of most of the dream. Leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, 2/1/15, we remembered the dream in several conversations, wondering what it might mean. We didn't pay attention to the game when the day finally came but we did give attention to the half time show. The highly controversial results of the game seems to explain part of it, just part, but what we noted in the days and weeks that followed was how the day actually marked a significant transition. I'm not going to go into detail but a different season of personal preparation had arrived, one that made no sense unless it was the season of finality and closure. When the Lord more recently brought that dream to mind, when He was informing us about water-as-time in the context of the abbreviated “megas thlipsis,” we began to understand how it applied on both a personal and a more corporate level. This vague story will make more sense when we look at the Gospel accounts of storms on the sea of Galilee, but it's about time wars, the enemy's assault and our preparation and provision. There will be victory over death in that second wave, because, God will make a place for us, an ark of safety. The time war would destroy all flesh, but through the agency of the elect and while they are under special protection, those days of megas thlipsis will be cut short. Special ops, special provision.

While I was writing the previous paragraph, the Lord used a “phones” sign to validate the fitness of the presentation for Aaron and I. We need the Lord's help constantly in real time. That's how it is for those of us who are awake and alert. He had done it earlier with a War of the Worlds (1953) sign, involving another brother also who made timely contact.

19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed. ~ Mark 16:19-20

During the season of the initial outpouring of insight about megas thlipsis, the Lord reminded me of a vision-like experience I had back in 2005 or 6, when I heard a heavenly choir. I wrote about that back in November of 2013, in a post titled, Part 19 - Celestial Stargates - River and Serpent Symbolism. After Aaron and I had followed the Lord's leading to review many passages of scripture and connect many dots. He brought us to passages where storms were tossing the boats on the sea of Galilee. After that, maybe on the third or fourth day of all this latter rain drenching, He brought us to review the verse by verse comparison between John 13 and Revelation 13 and 14. (John 13 and Revelation 13 and 14 - Comparing Thirty-Eight Verse Pairs) When we got to John 13:21 == Revelation 14:3, The Lord reminded me of when I heard the heavenly choir.

As I reflected on that and the context of my hearing it, I occurred to me that theme of that special evening was, Rivers. My dear Mennonite brother Jacob and the children of his middle school class were singing a song about a river, and the Lord gave me to hear what it sounded like on the other side. It was awesome! The river of time - stargate opened to the heavenly realm.

The little town we were in was, Bangor, if I remember correctly. On the way there and back, we passed a casino that was associated with a local tribe of Maidu indians, the Tyme Maidu. Tyme ~ Time? Maidu, means, man. The local watershed is all about the Feather River and Lake Oroville, which was created by the Oroville Dam (at 770 feet high, it is the tallest dam in the U.S.). The “Feather” River. The Lord has been emphasizing to me over the last few days how rivers wind through the land like the path of a serpent. Feather River - Feathered Serpent - Amaru. Time flies like an arrow, which has feathers. Remember the posts about the Apple Clock sign and Uli John Roth - Tempus Fugit? Time Flies? Feathered animals typically fly, with feathered wings, symbols of beings with the ability to traverse dimensions. Oroville was formerly known as Ophir City. The nickname is still, City of Gold. Read Psalm 45 lately?

In that same post about the river and serpent symbolism where I told that story, I mentioned when I had been taken to a realm near the Throne of the Most High that I call the timeless place, and that experience must also be revisited here. That was unique, not being repeated to this very day. As led, you can read more about it here (Search The Open Scroll for "The Timeless Place" -- then use your ctrl-F browser search to find exactly where the phrase occurs in the large result page returned by the search.) Why was it a "hosted" time mission? Preview? As incredible as it seems, what led up to the experience lends it credibility. I had just returned from The Apostles Gathering in Anaheim, in 1999. I went there after my attendance was confirmed with a vivid sign that had to do with locking down the relationship between the Shemitah and the millennial cycles. It was all orchestrated by the Lord, and now, closure is being brought.

Shortly after The Apostles Gathering, I had an accident on the job and lost some fingers. Five days later, I had a dream that I have just gotten more insight into. More closure. You can read a little more about it here. My Accident on 11/2/99 and Dream on 11/7/99, but here's the bulk of it.

“I had a dream the Sunday night following my table saw accident. I was fighting a snake. It was a very short dream. The snake was very threatening and struggling to attack, but I placed the index finger of my left hand on the back of his head and pressed down. As much as he tried, the snake couldn't strike while I had my finger on him. I just used enough pressure to restrain him, but I must have realized that I couldn't just maintain this situation because the snake would have resumed his attack if I lifted my finger, so I pressed down really hard and held it. After a few moments the snake stopped struggling and became motionless, and, while that was happening I found myself aware that I was actually feeling pressure from my hand inside the cast. I had been pressing with my hand, even feeling the pressure on the tip of the index finger that I don't have anymore. I thought that was odd, and with that thought, I woke up somewhat, concerned whether or not I hurt my hand by doing that. (I wasn't supposed to do anything with my hand yet and I had been exerting a lot of pressure. I had cut off my fingers only 5 days earlier.) When I realized I didn't hurt myself, that I just had the lingering sensation of pressing with the tip of my index finger, I drifted back to sleep. In the dream, all I could see was the head of the snake facing to the right and my left hand and nothing else. When I was waking up and remembered this dream I thought about the snake, that it had been green, and that I must have killed him or put it out of threatening status.

When I got up, I told my wife my dream, not having given it much thought. She didn't comment on it because of the company we had visiting at the time. When I laid down for a nap later in the day, I remembered the dream and it startled me that I hadn't realized before that it was a prophetic dream. As to the interpretation; the snake is the devil, and the tip of my index finger I don't have any more is the Lord's power. By His power He will use me to destroy the power of the Serpent! This has been confirmed through a number of people who have spontaneously brought forth prophetic words. The evidence of this has been seen to a certain degree, and I believe it will be multiplied.”

Again, the Lord has been emphasizing to me over the past few days how rivers wind through the land like the path of a serpent or a traveling serpent. As I was writing the above bit about the heavenly choir, I came across the post, Part 19 - Celestial Stargates - River and Serpent Symbolism. Now I'm putting it together. The green snake has to do with time, and very specifically the megas thlipsis when the Serpent has control of time. Wow!

Have you read Greg's comment on a recent post? There's a sign.

More signs have come today, but enough for this post.

Sign Watch and Status Report 2014, What I Didn't See and What I Do See

I have been watching to see if the lawless one would be revealed on the appointed day of this year, 2014. I haven't seen it. As expected. It's not due until 2015, and that world will be significantly different from this one because change is at hand. Signs of this change seem to be everywhere, but to many it seems to still have the look of just another Palm Sunday in a busy world. What did you see on your watch?

What the continued absence of the sign means is that the gathering to the Lord has not yet come to pass, because the season of harvesting follows after the lawless one has been revealed. See The Sign for the Bride for details.

What I have seen in this late hour has been expected, because the Lord prepared me, and Aaron with me. It has now become noticeably harder for people to discern the truth as the light of this age has faded into twilight. Surely there is a famine in the land of hearing the word of truth. Many saints are now being exposed as having built their foundations upon sand, and their faith is failing. In contrast, a few are being strengthened. This widening polarity is the result of judgment. What judgment looks like is that folks get what they deserve, good for good and bad for bad, and this on a deeper level than what manifests in carnal superficiality.

Let's give our attention to the word addressed to the Hebrews, for their strengthening.

2:1 For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. 2 For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, 3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard, 4 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.
...
3:5 Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; 6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today if you hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me,
As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me,
And saw My works for forty years.
10 “Therefore I was angry with this generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they did not know My ways’;
11 As I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
The Peril of Unbelief
12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, 15 while it is said,
“Today if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”
16 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. ~ Hebrews 2:1-4, 3:5-19

The Lord is being very generous with some of us who are now receiving such remarkable favor, while being very tightly constrained. In contrast, for so many now, faith is failing, and they are quite unaware of their changing condition as they are being drawn away from the love of the truth by the deceitfulness of sin that hardens the heart. The word of life in this hard season is for most a very difficult word to hear, but it is most necessary.

I call the principle described in the following verse the “Hear-Do Cycle.” Hearing and obedience are tied together in the matter of “how you listen.” In this season where the discernment of so many has fallen off beyond critical levels, this insight is most precious.

So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.” ~ Luke 8:18

When you hear the word of the Lord, if you act accordingly with humility, faith and obedience, which is love, you are rewarded with an ear that hears what the Lord is saying even better still. In contrast, if you neglect to act in that manner your hearing becomes less acute. When your response is rewarded by being given more acute hearing, you perceive it, and it's cause for rejoicing. In contrast, the incremental loss of hearing is imperceptible. One response thus trends one way and the other response trends in the opposite direction. This is the dynamic behind the diverging trajectories of the saints in this season of increasing trial.

When Aaron has received a word from the Lord and we have been faithful to publish it to this blog, we have noted how extreme the requirements of these words are, and how serious the consequences for those of us who dismiss them, and it is duly noted that Aaron and myself are not exempt. The prophecy, preaching and the teaching that has been done on The Open Scroll has been most particularly for the preparation of a small people, few in number and humble in spirit. While much larger numbers have gained some benefit from the vast content I've been so blessed to produce, with the very much appreciated help of others like Aaron, the best of it, the real treasure, is for the most rare among us.

I'm well aware of how offensive my making of this observation is to some. Should I care? Perhaps a better question to ask is what it is that I should care more about. The Lord cares for us, not whether we take offense at reproof and correction but whether we receive it, and respond to His love in kind.

In this late hour in the close of this age, we find ourselves privileged to have the most excellent opportunities open before us. Let's pray for each other, to enter in to the Lord's provision in the hour of need and to be found worthy of Him at His coming for His Bride.

Sign Watching in March - The Vatican Conclave, Obama's Trip to Israel, Notre Dame Cathedral Bells

As I watch according to the Lord's command in Mark 13:37, some of the activity expected in the next few weeks begs our attention. I'll summarize some of the activities being watched, but the main subject of this post has to do with Satanic ritual and the Roman Catholic church, and a link to the Inquisition through Palm Sunday, “Our Lady” and bells, the instruments sometimes deployed by priests and witches as magickal weapons.

First, Obama's trip to Israel for the apparent forging of an “Unbreakable Alliance” is symbolized by a special Occult logo. Obama is scheduled to land in Israel at the Ben Gurion International Airport around noon on Wednesday, March 20. That's a very special time and place!

I don't know yet what the Lord's calendar looks like because we're depending upon reports of the ripening barley and sighting of the new moon. I do, however, know about the solar and Pagan calendar. March 20 is the Vernal Equinox, and in Jerusalem, the moment of that event will occur at a minute past thirteen hundred hours. If all goes according to schedule, Obama will have just arrived!

What's called the Vernal Equinox is a big day for Pagans. Many celebrate it with fertility ritual, with witchcraft and orgies that make little distinction between the kinds of relations between the genders, ages or even whether the participants engaged are human. For those who celebrate in such ways, which includes the Illumined elite, the 13 I noted in the time has not escaped their notice! That's the number of the rebel lord beast, and that's what their world revolves around!

With the conclave of a sun cult priesthood anticipated at the Vatican any day now, I wonder if that very same day is being secretly planned for the election of the man many believe will become the biblical false prophet, or perhaps to mark some other important step in his official installation. I noted with great interest how Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope on such a notable day in 2005, on April 19, the day very appropriately associated with the Blood Sacrifice to the Beast. The 13 day feast begins on the 19th with a fire sacrifice, and the Papal election ballet fueled a smoky fire that symbolized the figurative end of Ratzinger's life, as he would utterly sacrifice it in becoming Pope Benedict XVI. (See Who is Pope Benedict XVI? for more detail.)

While some base their expectations entirely on the Prophecy of the Popes, I anticipate a Pope will anoint the lawless one in 2015 in the key event that will reveal the one baptized as the lawless one, so, whoever the Pope is at that time will be the False Prophet, whenever it is that he comes to office.

Today, those who worship the Popes hope a new one will be ordained in time to officiate at the services on Palm Sunday, coming up on the 24th of this month. This is deemed to be of paramount importance because the following Sunday is Easter, of course, and because the integrity of the entire Lenten season is essential in their Pagan ritual. SeeAsh Wednesday - A "Fourth Day" Ritual Prefiguring the Mark of the Beast for more about that.

These names of the days are, of course, the Pagan sun cult names for those days, because that's what that church calls them, and celebrations on such a calendar are entirely Pagan despite the naming of and pretense of honoring the One I worship in Truth.

The Romish sun cult is planning a special event for Palm Sunday that has several ominous layers to it. Nine gigantic bells were commissioned, cast, worshiped and “blessed” (cursed) in honor of the Notre Dame Cathedral’s 850th birthday. They are being hung in the Cathedral's towers, and these are expected to be rung for the first time for services on Palm Sunday. Because of the location and particular history called to our attention by the anniversary celebrated, the numbering of 9 bells, the purpose for bells and the meaning of Palm Sunday, these things combine to make the event worth noting and watching! I see in all this a distinct tie to the Inquisition, that infamous season of torture and murder perpetrated by the agents of the Vatican that makes the current public relations scandal of the pedophile priesthood pale in comparison. It must be said that extortion, torture and murder is still going on, but the public relations whitewashing has been greatly improved over former times.

This bell and the other eight were ceremonially “blessed” in the cathedral’s nave by the Archbishop of Paris, Andre Vingt-Trois, on the 2nd of February. As to what other curses have been put upon Bourdon Marie and the other bells in private, I cannot say, but there's nothing good to come from any of this idolatrous activity.

Bells are named and decorated and tuned with intent. I've written at length about the bell in an article I received two signs about (Bells - Supernatural Enchantment and a Biblical Perspective), which tells me this is a big deal. Bells used for religious purposes are ritually cursed, associated with demonic authorities. Giant bells are rung to honor and involve the god of the domain they are associated with in name and location. This is the situation in Paris at the Notre Dame Cathedral.

This picture shows one of the gargoyle guardians of the Cathedral, a cursed idol who watches over his appointed domain.

The name “Notre Dame” means “Our Lady,” which of course refers to Mary or Marie, an alias of the goddess also worshiped as Diana and Isis. The largest bell of the 9 is named “Bourdon Marie Bell,” which must be supernaturally identified with the demonic pretender. Bourdon = bumblebee = great bell. This queen bee is 6,000 kilograms of bronze, marked thereby with the number of man associated with the Beast in Revelation 13.

I noted some 13s already in this post, and the anniversary celebrating 850 years provides yet one more. (8+5+0=13) Because of the connection made here, going back to the year 1163 when the cornerstone was laid, and because of what I've learned about other bells and bell events in the past year (Find some links to explore at the end of this post.), I have to think this is more than just appearing now as a matter of convenience for the Occultists. The Devil is rather bright, you know, and he's been orchestrating the plan that's unfolding in our midst for a very long time. The matter of this activity coming in the midst of the Obama visit to Israel and Vatican conclave - while we're in the first of the target Shemittah week - OK - this is worth watching closely!

The number of bells is 9, the single digit number for the transforming mark of the Beast. This action of transformation is one of the uses for bells, by alchemists and Romish priests, who are alchemists.

During Catholic Mass, the Romish priest rings a bell as "a reminder of the faithful of the great event of the transubstantiation." The bell is a ritual tool used by witches to cast spells. It was the perception of the legitimacy of their supernatural authority and reality of their alchemy that was perhaps central to the Inquisition. The Devil and his agents feed off the suffering, blood and sex ritual and human sacrifice, and the degree of brutality and scale of the trauma facilitated the church's control and assured their dominion for a lengthy season. The Inquisition basically asked the question about the Eucharist, about the supposed miracle of transubstantiation, of whether the priest's sorcery was considered valid. Was the alchemist's magick real? Was the wine and host consecrated by the priest literally changed into the blood and body of Christ, in actual substance? If that was denied, the "heretic" was an enemy of the church and deserved to suffer extreme torture resulting in death, which was duly administered by the agents of the Vatican.

23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee [that great city Babylon]; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. ~ Revelation 18:23-24

At Notre Dame, “The cathedral treasury is notable for its reliquary, which houses the purported crown of thorns, a fragment of the True Cross and one of the Holy Nails – all instruments of the Passion,” according to Wikipedia. The Passion, that's the torture and crucifixion of my Lord. With that observation, here's a theme. Also featured at the Cathedral, in one of the Hesburgh Libraries, is an Inquisition Collection. Are you grasping the theme here at the Notre Dame Cathedral?

The cornerstone was laid 850 years ago, in 1163. The vast cathedral was labeled complete in 1250. Construction took place during the very season of the medieval inquisitions.

“The situation began to change towards the end of the twelfth century after the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and Pope Alexander III reached an accord reconciling their respective powers in the Peace of Venice. In 1184, Pope Lucius III issued the decretal Ad abolendam, which some have called the "founding charter of the inquisition" since it commanded bishops to take an active role in identifying and prosecuting heresy in their jurisdictions. The explicit identification of heresy with treason and its prosecution according to the norms of Roman law was formalized in 1199 by Pope Innocent III. The foundation of mendicant religious orders, especially the Dominicans, in the early decades of the thirteenth century provided a ready supply of papal inquisitors who could be sent to regions most influenced by heretics. Actions by Pope Gregory IX in the 1230s and the canons issued by the Council of Tarragona in 1242 had the effect of centralizing these functions, and even clarified that heresy was an offense punishable by death;” (A Brief History of the Inquisition)

“1231: Pope Gregory IX authorizes Dominicans to examine Cathar and other Christian heretics in southern France and Italy, the so-called 'medieval inquisitions.'” (A Timeline of the Inquisitions)

Now, St Malachy, who is believed to have authored the controversial Prophecy of the Popes, died just prior to that infamous season in the year 1148. If you've given this some thought, you may be connecting some threads here with his Prophecy, which mentions persecution in connection with the final Popes.

“111. Glory of the olive.”
“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit”
“112. Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.”

While those of the Romish cult interpret it as though the Catholics will be subjected to persecution, I read it otherwise, where the church does the persecuting. That's consistent with the history of that church and with Revelation 18. That's is where the threads of the Passion and Inquisition intersect. Whether or not that prophecy is valid, and whether or not it has no gaps in the Papal line of succession, it makes little to no difference from most perspectives.

What I find most compelling about the situation with the new bells at Notre Dame is the potential for some manifestation of a closed loop, a completed circuit. Does this presage the renewal of the Passion-Inquisition theme?

Bells are a kind of dimensional portal control mechanism, as cryptically but vividly dramatized for us on the Fringe sci-fi show and in the animated feature Rango.

In the Summer of 2012, the largest ringing bell in Europe was cast and featured in celebrating the opening day of the 2012 London Olympics. The bell was given an ominous identity as it was cast to Freemasonry's favorite Shakespearean production, The Tempest. It bears the quote, “Be not afeared, the Isle is full of noises.” I believe that is cause for great concern, especially given how the Olympics are all about the worship of Zeus (aka Satan acc. Revelation 2:12-13), and that the quote is from a speech given by the character Caliban, a monster who was the offspring of the Devil and an evil witch.

When the Lord directed my attention to the 2012 London Olympics, a time link between 2012 back into 1948 appeared. The Olympic Park was discovered to be mapped very precisely to the season of the establishment of the State of Israel, using a principle David Flynn developed based upon the work of Sir Isaac Newton. The ringing of the Bell of Caliban in that Stadium and the Work 1197 titled All the Bells that began Opening Day of that ritual event added to this evident supernaturalism, which offered more notable historical links to 1948 and also to 1936, when the Nazi Olympics were celebrated with another giant bell. I knew the Lord was opening those connections to me and directing my attention to the bells, and I felt what I was seeing was somehow very significant.

Just prior to the Olympics, some large bells were cast to honor the matriarch of the Illumined Royalty, Queen Elizabeth. They were introduced during the massive flotilla for her Diamond Jubilee celebration. Eight bells were cast and named after members of the Royal Family, the largest of which is named Elizabeth (half a ton). These were hung in a floating belfry that was given a place of honor at the head of the 7.5 mile long flotilla. The bells now hang in the tower of St James Garlickhythe in central London, in a location claimed to have been a sacred place since, get this, 1100 AD. There's a film about them here.

I feel like the bells of the Notre Dame anniversary celebration are important. I feel like there's something to the intersecting threads of the Passion relics and Inquisition collection and the persecution of (by and from) the “Holy Roman Church” in the controversial document attributed to St Malachy O'Morgair. The true saints of such as the Bride company are ripe for persecution. It is anticipated from the hands of the religious. The agents responsible for the torture and crucifixion of my Lord were the religious heads in conjunction with the Roman authorities. Those responsible for the Inquisition were representatives of the “Holy Roman Church.” Are we really done with that? With a Pope as the false prophet, you can bet not.

The famed Notre Dame Cathedral was a masterful work, built by those highly skilled esoteric craftsmen in the guild of Masons. The Dominicans worked the Inquisition, and such Illumined agents as that now work their craft in black ops - Jesuits, Knights of Malta, etc.

I want to close with a few observations about Palm Sunday, when Paris will resound with the ringing of the bells from Notre Dame Cathedral.

In the symbolic Occult Lenten calendar, Palm Sunday comes one week before Easter. The Date Palm is a symbol of resurrection, which has been pretty well documented on this blog. The ashes used on Ash Wednesday to mark foreheads are those left over from the previous Palm Sunday, which are saved, burned and prepared for that purpose. The Date Palms are sacrificed and there is a recycling in connection with the worshipers. The technical name for the plant is Phoenix dactylifera. Phoenix. The bird of legend that burns and rises from its ashes. That's the bird featured on this glass you see here from the Vatican library. That's the bird featured on the creepy esoteric mural in the UN Security Council Chamber.

So, Palm Sunday holds the idea of the cycling of the sacrificed palms as they are put on worshipers as an identifying mark. They are identified with the phoenix by the sun cult priesthood, a sign of Horus, really, so put that together with what I wrote earlier. “What I find most compelling about the situation with the new bells at Notre Dame is the potential for some manifestation of a closed loop, a completed circuit. It's not time yet for the mark of the Beast, and not yet for the Beast John saw coming out of the sea (Revelation 13:1). Does this presage the renewal of the Passion-Inquisition theme?” There's some looping going on here. Cycles are ending and beginning anew. Let's watch and see what we see!

A Season for Satanic Ritual and Spiritual Warfare

As I write, it's just prior to the Super Bowl XLVII. Because of the late hour, as judgment rolls out, I wanted to draw attention to the nature of what's going on behind the scenes. What the Lord is doing is more than keeping pace with the Adversary's activity, but the kingdom of darkness is ramped up and an assault is being launched. On guard.

On February 1 and 2, Candlemas and Imbolg, a.k.a. Groundhog's Day were celebrated by many Pagan witches with human sacrifice and perverse sexual rites. During this lead up to the Super Bowl, sex traders of every kind have focused their activity on supporting the city of New Orleans, long a center for voodoo and other dark magickal working.

• Super Bowl Frenzy: Police Watch for Sex Trafficking (2011)
• Sandusky Part of Illuminati Pedophile Network (November 13, 2011)

Mardi Gras is coming up on February 12, which is , of course, a huge deal in New Orleans, followed shortly by St. Valentines Day on the 14th. If you think all this activity doesn't impact you, you're sleeping still. The rituals are not for maintaining the devil's status quo but for advancing his program. The Enemy has got momentum. There is activity targeting the saints, specifically those who are awake. The spells being cast are directed at you and I, and if you're not wary and engaged, it must be said that it's probably because you're not a threat.

Some have wrongly reported that the street address of the Superdome is 330 Loyola Ave. That's the address of the Holiday Inn. The Mercedes-Benz Superdome is a few blocks away at 1500 Sugar Bowl Dr.

The address of the Holiday Inn (with its Osiris green branded H for Horus and Hermes and orange rayed sodomite sun wheel) is notable, though, being on the street named after Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, and at the signal sodomite number of 33(0).

The Super Bowl halftime show has become a centerpiece for Illuminati ritual, and I expect we'll see one later today. The lyrics of the song that is supposed to be featured tells a story about a special sodomite relationship between SRA multiples. I'm curious about what kind of dramatic symbolism will be layered on it. I'll address the lyrics in another post.

More Satanic ritual happened in Paris, France, on the Pagan High Ritual Day of Candlemas. The birthday of the famed Pagan high place, the Notre Dame Cathedral, was celebrated with the so-called “blessing” (cursing) of nine giant bells. The largest bell is named Mary, which is fitting for the institution dedicated to the worship of “Notre Dame,” “Our Lady.” One of the ancient names of this honored entity is Isis. The bell as a witch's weapon and dimensional portal controller is something I've written about at some length. Search my sites for bells and you'll get plenty of interesting results.

New Notre Dame bells make harmonious history

Mary weighs in at 6,000 kilograms of “glistening bronze.” Six is the number of Adamic man. Nine is the single digit number for the mark of the Beast transformation, which is the establishment of a dimensional bridge.

"During the French Revolution, they (the original bells) were all brought down and broken except (one) and four other bells that were recast in the middle of the 19th century ... This will complete in a definitive manner the entire set of 10 bells as conceived ... in the Middle Ages," Notre Dame rector Patrick Jacquin said.

Testament to the international pull of Notre Dame — with its 20 million annual visitors — on each bell is written "Via viatores quaerit," latin for "I am the path looking for travelers."

The first time revelers will able to hear the new pealing will be on March 23, just in time for Palm Sunday and Easter week. Mary will soon be hoisted up to the gothic south tower ready to sound out — echoed by other eight in the north tower — over the medieval gargoyles, historic rooftops, and the snaking Seine River.

Rife with NLP, the article echoes the testimony I hear resounding all around me, that we have arrived in the season where the hope of many travelers on the left hand path is being fulfilled.

"Via viatores quaerit." That's not a match to John 14.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. ~ John 14:6

The Notre Dame bell path is a way of death, lies, and a counterfeit that does not lead to the Father. My Lord is the way!

Plan 9 from Outer Space

When I visited the Zombie Museum at the Monroeville Mall a few weeks ago, I noticed a poster on the wall featuring the movie titled, Plan 9 from Outer Space. I suspected a movie with the number 9 in the title that featured zombies would have more content on the theme of 9. When I watched it, I was not disappointed!

Since I learned the secret of the number nine I've become aware of its use as a signal in many places. Nine is the single digit number that refers to the mark of the beast genetic transformation. Nine is the product of three times three. The Masonic ritual (associated with the Royal Arch degree) called "three times three" models triple helix DNA. With three being the resurrection number it's easily seen that three times three speaks of a triple helix resurrection.

Here's the blurb printed on the Netflix DVD sleeve I received with Plan 9 from Outer Space.

“After the embarrassing failure of the first eight plans, a group of evil aliens enacts plan nine -- resurrecting the dead to take over the Earth.”

“Bela Lugosi makes his final film appearance -- along with Vampira, Tor Johnson, Criswell and a chiropractor acquaintance of director Ed Wood -- in one of the most popular cult classics of the 20th century, a two-time winner of the Golden Turkey Award for Worst Film and Worst Director of all time.”

By any standard, the film falls far below par. Because it fails on every conceivable level, the experience of watching is entertaining for those who find humor in being able to see the string holding up the flying saucer. Like me. :) The acting, set, script, narrative, music, plot, editing, scene continuity, etc. are just as bad as the special effects. What makes this unintended comedy worthy of note is what makes the Cthulhu mythos (H.P. Lovecraft) films notable: These are independent witnesses testifying of the devil's agenda as the Beast and his mark are dramatically and graphically illustrated.

Even the liner notes suggest that Plan 9 is the Beast plan. The sons of god of Genesis 6 infamy are played as the group of evil aliens. The plot to take over the earth almost succeeded in Noah's day, until the Lord God brought judgment upon them. Their offspring, those accountable for the judgment, will be raised, revived as agents appointed to execute judgment in the earth. The plan for the future involves a triple helix DNA transformation that is a pseudo-resurrection. The mark of the Beast implementation will create a zombie army that is intended for use in taking over the Earth.

Here's the script of a very revealing conversation.

Alien Leader: What plan will you follow now?
Alien Commander: Plan 9. It's been absolutely impossible to work through these Earth creatures. Their soul is too controlled.
Alien Leader: Plan 9. Ahh yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the pineal and pituitary glands of recent dead. Have you attempted any of this plan as yet?
Alien Commander: Yes, Excellency.
Alien Leader: How successful has it been?
Alien Commander: We have risen two so far. We will be just as successful on more.
Alien Leader: The living, they have no suspicion of your movements?
...
Alien Leader: Those who we take from the grave will lead the way for our other operations.
Alien Commander: Yes, Excellency.
...
Alien Woman: What do you think will be the next obstacle the Earth people will put in our way?
Alien Commander: Well, as long as they can think, we'll have our problems. But those whom we're using can not think. They are the dead, brought to a simulated life by our electrode guns. You know, its an interesting thing when you consider, the Earth people who can think are so frightened by those who cannot, the dead.

Note that the pineal gland is mentioned, the gland associated with the third eye, or Eye of Horus. The plot involves activation of this known biological dimensional portal. It involves those who are dead but have an animating force and carry out the will of another. What we should understand about the mark of the beast is that the one who receives it becomes a post-human, a beast. The life they had as a human is changed, which is to say that their soul is gone, sacrificed. They are then technically dead. The animating force received as a substitute makes them technically like a zombie, dead but with a similitude of life. The will of one so transformed passes away with their former soul, creating a robotic zombie slave to the Beast that will worship and serve its master as a soldier. A soldier = a soul die-er. “Those who we take from the grave will lead the way for our other operations.”

While you and I may be on to the evil gambit, the answer to what the leader asks, “The living, they have no suspicion of your movements?” is as the commander reported. The "living" are largely oblivious to the movements of those executing Plan 9. In the last exchange between the man and woman, it should be obvious how the obstacles aren't going to come from the dead who would be controlled but only from the living. Yes, the script is absurd, but take away from that how Plan 9 depends upon the failure of the living to think, who could and would put obstacles in the way. Like, you and I. As for me, I'm blowing the whistle on Plan 9. It's going to succeed anyhow, at least to the extent that it must, but some will be spared the fate that is to be cast into the lake of fire. All this will eventually play out the Sovereign God's glorious plan. Watch and see!

I've included a few screen captures to show you some of the visual imagery signaling details of the Beast plan 9. The belt worn by the commander has images of bells alternating with what I must assume are pomegranates. This allusion to the fringe of the High Priest's garment speaks of this commander being in the role of the False Prophet. The message sent says this alien commander is not traveling between planets but rather between dimensions.

33) You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around on its hem, and bells of gold between them all around:
34) a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around on the hem of the robe.
35) It shall be on Aaron when he ministers; and its tinkling shall be heard when he enters and leaves the holy place before the LORD, so that he will not die.

Exodus 28:33-35

The design of the commander's belt testifies of the Plan 9 resurrection portal, his mission to raise the dead, making a zombie army of the people of Earth.

The insignia or mission patch on the uniform bears the female shape of an Egyptian hieroglyph. Inside it is the male emblem, the three-legged lightning bolt and obfuscated letter Z for Zeus, aka Satan and Lucifer. The Plan 9 mission is a reproductive scheme, achieved as by male-in-a-female sexual activity. It's the old Serpent+Eve=Cain plan, the “sons of god with the daughters of men producing giants” plan. It's the Beast and mark of the Beast plan. And, so it must be until the end appointed.

You can also see the insignia as the Sun coming over the horizon, the dawn of the returning Sun god in the power of Zeus.

The setting of the title scene appears several times during the movie. In it, the graveyard is featured. Palm trees are evident. The palm tree is a resurrection symbol, of victory over death, as I've pointed out in recent postings relating to Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday. The graveyard is the place of the dead. The palm trees in the graveyard signal Plan 9's plot to raise the dead.

According to the movie's plot, if any sense is to be made of it, the glow of the backlit tree seems to be implying the presence of the flying saucer as the source of the light. Symbolically, with the palm trees present, this setting speaks of the garden of Eden. The illuminated tree represents the tree of knowledge of good and evil, of illumination and gnosis. "Ye shall be as gods," according to the false promise delivered to Eve by the serpent in the garden.

And so goes the promise today. Same lie. Plan 9 from Outer Space is a cheesy vehicle, but it still delivers. “The living, they have no suspicion of your movements?” Yeah. Pretty much.

This Ed Wood turkey from 1958 is definitely signaling and advancing the mark of the beast transformation. While Ed Wood's practice of flying by the seat of his pants while making the movie makes it seem fairly unlikely that he actually planned and executed anything with depth, his activity was surely guided by an unseen power.

Attesting to the unnatural lift, Plan 9 enjoys such an unlikely status today that many are prompted to ask how this can be. The DVD I watched contained extras, interviews relating to the film. Maila Nurmi (Vampira) offered her insight.

"A sociologist or historian no matter how gifted probably couldn't discern scientifically why Ed Wood's film, why Plan 9 from Outer Space has reached this cult status. I think it may be scientifically impossible to find a cut and dried reason. But the nearest thing to a reason, it seems to me, is that Ed Wood was one of the chosen. It was Karmic. It was his destiny. Simply that. Unreasonable as it may sound, it was his destiny to live this episode, right? And we, wittingly or unwittingly, are his disciples.”

I wouldn't disagree, although I could embellish somewhat. Some of the things Vampira said during the interview raised my curiousity about what she might reveal in speech reversals. When she says the movie title, “Plan 9 from Outer Space,” what I hear is this: “See, it genome plan, that.” Listen to it for yourself. She knew things.

Plan 9 has been around for a long time, from 1958 and earlier, going way back - way, way back in time. The Outer Space aliens are about to accomplish Plan 9's objective of raising the dead and taking over the Earth with mind controlled zombies. They won't be wearing cheesy uniforms, the flying saucers won't be bobbing on strings and no one's going to be howling with laughter when they implement the plan.

Part 27 - Rango - Lent Begins with Ash Wednesday

Continuing from the previous post, Rango's Wednesday hydration ceremony that starts out like a regular Romish Mass soon becomes recognizable as the Ash Wednesday liturgy, beginning the season of Lent.

When Beans interrupts Mayor John's attempt to placate the worshipers, she uses an expression that is very revealing!

Beans: “Hold it! Hold it! Now this whole thing stinks three ways to Sunday. First the bank's run dry and now this here spigot!”

Three ways to Sunday? That's a fairly unusual idiom, which basically means “any and every way possible.” The use of it in this context is absolutely brilliant - evil genius.

During Lent, Easter Sunday is looked to with hope as the end of Lent's season of deprivation. There, the focus is upon resurrection. Three is the resurrection number, so the expression “three ways to Sunday” directly connects resurrection with Sunday. Resurrection Sunday means Easter Sunday on the liturgical calendar. What stinks to the carnal mind is the deprivation associated with sacrifice during Lent. Lent stinks three ways to Easter Sunday, which begins on Ash Wednesday!

With Lent there is a particular focus upon Sunday. There's the primary connection with Easter Sunday. There's Palm Sunday, which provides palm branches for Ash Wednesday's ashes. Additionally, each Sunday during Lent is excluded in a highlighted count of days, 6 in total, that they subtract from the 46 (to shift attention off the chromosome number), substituting the number of trial; 40. The undeniable effectiveness of NLP witnesses to the reality that our minds make many connections when evaluating context and meaning. The fact of the 6 Sundays during Lent is in the mind of many who observe the liturgical calendar. The expression “stinks three ways to Sunday,” in the context of Lent, necessarily involves 6 Sundays, and three ways to six Sundays illustrates three sixes, or 666. Ash Wednesday really is all about the mark of the Beast, so the idiom is a brilliant code! The more subtle the 666 signals are they more powerfully effectual they seem to be, and this one is subtle indeed!

There's a similar expression, “six ways to Sunday,” that has the same meaning. Anyone who has heard these expressions, even if they know nothing of Lent, will have that bit of data accessed to connect a six with the three ways. The sum of NLP referencing the number of the Beast, 666, is pretty substantial!

Here's some further insight. It's 39 days or 3 x 13 to Palm Sunday, when more palms will be collected for the following Ash Wednesday. Three ways to that Sunday highlights the signal number thirteen, the revealing-of-the-rebel-lord-beast number. It's 46 days to Easter Sunday, which I've already identified as a chromosome number signaling genetics. Three ways to Easter Sunday with its featured resurrection suggests the resurrection with three strand DNA! In combination, the two number span signals illustrate the 3 strand DNA that transforms a 46 man into a 13 beast.

On top of all that embedded linking of Rango's ceremony with Ash Wednesday and Lent, here's yet another - the Beans connection! Beans are involved in a Lenten tradition. They may be dyed purple or left undyed and used for counters, to engage the children by giving them something tangible to associate with their activity.

From CatholicCulture.org - Lent - Ash Wednesday:

“The use of Sacrifice Beans may help children to keep track of their Lenten penances. Some families begin this activity (with undyed beans!) on Ash Wednesday and then use the collected beans to cook a penitential bean dish for Good Friday at the end of Lent.”

On a side note, another example of NLP appears in Beans' declaration, “the bank's run dry.” Bank run? A run on the banks? This is exactly what's pictured in the scene that follows. Everyone flocks to the bank in the hope of withdrawing whatever water might be available. On the deeper signaling level, the mark of the Beast ploy involves a banking ploy. No one will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the Beast. Remember NCR.com and the cryptic message embedded in their marketing sequence? Same deal.

Clearly, Rango's Wednesday hydration sacrament points to Ash Wednesday. This is an important connection because of the common mark of the Beast symbolism. By subtly establishing this connection, the common meanings are magnified in the minds of unsuspecting viewers. There's extremely powerful synergy here, the reinforcement of long term programming and advancement of the agendas that intend to manipulate the programmed into accepting the Beast of the Sun cult and receiving his mark.

So, that's one of the two scenes I wanted to address that make reference to Ash Wednesday. The other happens early in the movie, and you can't make any sense of it without understanding what I just covered.


Beans tells Rango when he has climbed into the wagon, “Today's Wednesday. And Wednesday's when we all get to it.” In this there is yet another level of symbolism embedded in the scene, beyond what I've documented in other posts (like the cryptic reference to time travel in Part 21). The connection to Ash Wednesday is evident when you consider the emotionally charged bit where Rango sampled ashes from the Mason jar. NLP. Ash + Wednesday.

For another, more involved, connection, note how the jar is in a wagon full of empty bottles that are obviously intended for water collection. The contents are intended to be ash and water, the basic ingredients used to make Ash Wednesday's mark.

Here's another observation about this scenario. Beans said the ashes were not the remains of her Father and that they never found his body. She said he smoked. It seems comically absurd to suggest they might be tobacco ashes, given her reaction. Until you relate the ashes to those used on Ash Wednesday. The ashes are not her father's but represented him. Those used on Ash Wednesday represent people. You see, as ashes sourced from Palm Sunday's palm branches, there's a level on which they represent the wicked who have died, being judged. In the biblical account, the King (and those represented by the disciple's garments that with were with him on the donkey/colt) trampled palm branches (that should be identified with those who threw them into the dirt) in judgment. Beans represents Israel, as I've illustrated in another post. It's complicated, but it looks like a smear campaign, pun intended. “Your mother wears army boots.” “Your father was a wicked one destroyed in judgment.” This compares to what's regularly presented on the superficial level of the movie because Beans continually defends her father's character. He had a reputation as a drunkard and is rumored to have fallen down a mine shaft while drinking.

The devil hates the pure ones with whom the Heavenly Father will fulfill His promises. In their relationship, it ends up going badly for the devil.

Part 26 - Rango - The Ash Wednesday Mass

The animated feature Rango presents a religious Wednesday hydration ceremony that is an obfuscated version of the Romish church's Ash Wednesday Mass. The reason for this becomes apparent in the light of how the contexts of both Wednesday's rituals and their ceremonies testify of the mark of the beast. In making the link, Rango basically says, “Hey - we get what the Ash Wednesday thing is all about and we're in on the same deal.” Those behind Rango serve the same god as the Pope. That's not my god, by the way, but the one of every Sun cult and all Mystery Babylon the Great.

I've covered a lot of ground on this subject matter already in several of the Rango posts and in a study posted recently titled Ash Wednesday - A "Fourth Day" Ritual Prefiguring the Mark of the Beast, but there's still more to bring forth. This is not a rehash, so what follows might not make much sense if you're not already somewhat familiar with this background material.

I'm going to address two scenes that make reference to Ash Wednesday. The one that happens first in the movie is easier to recognize if you understand the second, so I'll cover the second one first, the hydration ceremony.

I can't point you to a video clip of this scene. If you can find one or post one, please share the link with me. If you are already familiar with the Romish style Mass and Ash Wednesday ritual it might help you grasp what I'm going to present, but might also hinder you. If you feel yourself wanting to defend anything it's a sign that there's some personal issue you haven't fully resolved. I pray those of you who read here and are offended in some way take the matter up with the Lord without hesitation. I'll be using the Romish labels for reference but I don't mean to imply by this convenience that there's any legitimacy to their labeling.

You may want to spend some time meditating on the meaning of the images in this collection I assembled for comparison.

The Wednesday hydration ceremony resembles the Romish church's Ash Wednesday Mass, presenting a series of elements that are common to many Catholic and Protestant services. It starts out like every Mass, then the Ash Wednesday elements appear.

There's a call to worship rung out with the clock tower's bell chiming the Noon hour. Worshipers arrive in a sober, orderly fashion, passing the graveyard on the way, which is a feature common to many church properties. We hear music while they become a congregation, quietly facing Mayor John, the officiating priest. He formerly welcomes everyone. Then he calls to the priests to "Prepare the holy spigot!"

We are about to see the Romish Liturgy of the Eucharist followed by Holy Communion. The Sun cult priests ascend the platform with the spigot handle to arrive at the altar, which is the procession of priests bringing the host to the altar. I infer that they bless it silently in the prescribed manner. They fit the spigot handle-host to the water pipe-chalice. The Eucharist is ready.

Mayor John speaks and the congregation responds.

Mayor John: “The time has come my friends, the time that was foretold,”
Congregation Response: “Hallelujah”

This actually anticipates the fulfillment of what is prophesied in Mass and Ash Wednesday's ritual.

Mayor John continues.

Mayor John: “the sacred time,”
Congregation Response: “Hallelujah”

When Mayor John says “the sacred time,” the priests fit the handle-host to the spigot-chalice to make the parts a viable valve, so the sacred time is of course marking the mystical transubstantiation.

The officiating priest continues.

Mayor John: “the time of destiny,”
Congregation Response: “Hallelujah”

Communion rite

“All together recite or sing the "Lord's Prayer" ("Pater Noster" or "Our Father"). The priest introduces it with a short phrase and follows it up with the embolism: "Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day.”

Mayor John: “the time of deliverance.”
Congregation Response: “Hallelujah”

After the “deliverance” part in the liturgy, the next item on the agenda is Holy Communion. So far, this is a pretty generic Mass sequence. What happens next is where the Ash Wednesday signaling begins, and where it begins to get very specific and pronounced!

Mayor John: “It is the time of hydration!”

At those words, the priests open the valve of the holy spigot, beginning to administer the Blessed Sacrament (that is to dispense/distribute the bread and wine mixed with water) to the first worshiper. Administering the sacrament shouldn't cause the congregation to make a fuss but something is not right. Pure water is expected to flow out of the spigot into Rango's cup, but mud comes out instead. (Note: When worshipers get the mark of the Beast it will be a worse disappointment.) This is not your regular Mass. With mud splashing even on Rango's forehead, it has become Ash Wednesday's ritual marking with wet ash. What is mud but wet dirt, and what is dirt but dust and ash and such. “Ashes to ashes and dust to dust” is an expression that would certainly have been heard at services in the graveyard they passed earlier.

The hydration references mixing the water with the ash, so Mayor John's pronouncement of the time of hydration introduces the Ash Wednesday ritual. The distribution of mud on the worshiper's forehead is not the usual bread and wine deal, with one given independent of the other. It's the Ash Wednesday Mass, and some of the following elements validate this observation.

One of the shocked members of the congregation can be heard saying, “Burn him!” Burning Rango would turn him into ashes! The suggestion to burn Rango alludes to the palm branches burned to make the ash, which would have been collected from the previous Palm Sunday. (This further identifies him as one of the palms to be burnt, one of the wicked, trampled at Y'shua's return in judgment as the palm branches strewn in the road were trampled into the dust when Y'shua rode the donkey/colt towards Jerusalem.)

Mayor John responds in an effort to assert control. What he says makes it pretty clear what day it is on the Romish liturgical calendar.

Mayor John: “Times will be tough from now on. Sacrifices will have to be made. But if I can help in any way please know that my door is always-”

Beans steps forward and interrupts, cutting him off. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of a season called Lent that concludes with Easter Sunday. I remember when I was young, the Catholic kids would return to school after getting marked and ask each other, “What are you giving up for Lent?” You see, sacrifices had to be made. That was their focus, what really impacted their lives. When Mayor John says times will be tough from now on and that sacrifices will have to be made he's alluding to Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday!

About Mayor John's statement that his door is always- and we can infer “open,” given his official priestly role in the service and the stained glass windows in his office, that he's making an oblique reference to the door to the church as his door that is always open. His response, if you understand something about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) connects the tough times and sacrifices with the church and the services it provides. Yes, even those on Ash Wednesday and through the Lenten season.

There's more. This is where it really gets dialed in! To be continued, Lord willing.
