Part 19 - Rochester, NY - Rumors of "The Council" roaming the airport at night

In this series about Rochester, NY I've presented a variety of signs that testify of demonic dominion and ceremonial magick. The last few posts have featured the Clock of Nations and its Statue of Liberty. The clock's former location at Midtown Plaza has been addressed at some length, as has its current location at the Airport. I've presented some insight into the "Wings of Progress" and the statue of Mercury on the Aqueduct Building, and into some of what's found at the gateway to High Falls. What should be more and more plain is that there's a very real supernatural conspiracy that's at work to deceive and enslave. The evidence is both concrete and abstract.

You might think, "I don't live in Rochester, what do I care?" What happens in Rochester impacts your life wherever you live. Yes, there's something special about the place. Plus, what you learn about Rochester may have an application where you live. You should care. And, as the Lord leads, I believe some of us are to pray for the Lord's people in Rochester, NY, for the work He is doing in them in this very hour.

Many of you are personally familiar with the kinds of things I recently shared about my personal experience with finding and reading the short story about the clock at Midtown and the blood sealed vault. You know the Lord works with His people in some strange and remarkable ways. Some of you have been made intercessors, which is to become involved as a willing agent at the Lord's invitation in a legal process through which the Lord brings some benefit into reality for one or more others. This is not something widely understood or easily explained, but many of you get it. (One of my favorite books: Rees Howells - Intercessor) While the accident and subsequent dream from 1999 was not the short story's magick ceremony at Midtown Plaza, I believe there was and is a legitimate intercession in play. Maybe I'll share more detail sometime, but as I consider the amazing events of the season just prior to the accident, and then the accident and dream, in light of what's going on now I have to see "this" as where He was going with "that."

I don't have any sense of how many more posts will focus on Rochester but there's so much more that could be shared. I've been holding back a few items relating to the airport that I want to share at this time.

There's a page on the Rochester Public Art site dedicated to The Council by Bill Stewart The dimensions are given as 12 x 20 feet. It's big. The caption reads:
"The inscription on the marble base says that in the very earliest time, when both humans and animals lived on earth, a person could become an animal if he wanted and an animal could become a human being."

"Another inscription from Chief Seattle says that if all animals ceased to exist, human beings would die of great loneliness of the spirit."

"There are rumors that the figures slip out of the pool at night when no one is looking and stroll around the airport."

Did you catch the last line? This isn't a humor site. Think about it! It's not so much a matter of whether they actually do, or even whether there are actually rumors that they do. It's enough that it's simply reported on this page that "There are rumors that the figures slip out of the pool at night when no one is looking and stroll around the airport." There is magick involved with this portal, and Hermes and other gods are involved, literally invoked. On the Rochester Public Art site is, at the very least, a suggestion of the animation of these beings. What's coming soon enough will be manifested openly. Let's see the signs and read them.

The moving of the Clock of Nations from Midtown Plaza to the ROC airport was - * surprise * - cause for another official ceremony. The major "news" media 13 WHAM has a video clip of the ceremony at this page: Special Report: Midtown Plaza Memories I can't easily link directly to the video, but you should find that clicking the middle of three video thumbnail images presented in the right side bar will play the "RAW Video: Clock of Nations Unveiled at Airport" clip. In this capture from the clip, notice how the camera had been carefully positioned to show the clock superimposed onto the pyramid. "The Monument" stained glass pyramid in the background frames the Clock of Nations very appropriately. What is signaled is that the clock is as the pyramid!

The pyramid represents the kingdom of the Beast. The capstone is the Beast as the head of the temple/body. The temple/body of the Beast is composed of its members, those of the world with the mark of the Beast. I'll elaborate further, Lord willing, when I describe the clock's design, but in the carefully presented imagery from the official ceremony you have the graphic witness to its purpose. Tell me this wasn't planned.

I can't make out what appears on the podium, but it's a pretty safe bet that it's their now ubiquitous star-flower brand. Star = fallen angel. Flower = reproduction. That would be one more layer occult symbolism with the same basic meaning as the others.

Last November and December, while I was blogging about the NCR.com scenes, I didn't have much insight into the commercial jet that was featured in scene 4. Given what I've learned recently about the ROC airport, it seems pretty obvious that commercial airlines and airports factor heavily in the scheme. The prompt on NCR's scene 4 triple-helix is a response to the question, "Would you like to experience a world where travel is about making connections?" Given the physical evidence, isn't that what the ROC airport is all about!

I think it was while I was in bed a couple weeks ago, about ready to get up, that I was thinking about the clock and its very similar home environments at the airport and at Midtown. The NCR series came to mind because of the commerce and travel elements of the Mystery Babylon scenes 3, 4 and 5. "Would you like to experience a world where every transaction is a connection?" In the All Soul Shop? No, please.

The Twelfth Orbit of Neptune and the Earthquake under Christchurch

Continuing from the previous post, there are signs in the heavens and signs in the earth: The celestial sign of the twelfth orbit of Neptune relates to the recent earthquake in Christchurch.

I've been writing about judgment coming shortly to Rochester, NY, America, and the world. Judgment pivots on the Lord Y'shua and you. Do you respond to Him with loving obedience or hateful rebellion? If you're somewhere in between and striving for complete submission, this is for you.

His interest at the present primarily lies with preparing His Bride and with the children of Jacob, the sons of Israel. The Bride has a key role to play in Israel's future and that of the whole world. (See What Will Their Acceptance be but Life from the Dead? and The Bridegroom and the Bride) This season is for the preparation of the Bride who is not yet ready. The signs signify to me that we are entering into the appointed season of trial and testing that will prove and refine His beloved Bride.

The earthquake in Christchurch is related to the sign of Neptune. Here's an excerpt from the news about the earthquake in New Zealand.

"Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker is thankful there has been no loss of life but there had been considerable damage across the city and outlying areas. The city has been left devastated after a massive 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck 30km west of the city at 4.35 am this morning. The quake was at a depth of 33km and was centred near Darfield, and has left large parts of the area without power, water or telephones." (Mayor: Quake hit city 'like an iceberg')

Briefly, Christchurch is the body of Christ, the house of God.


16) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1 Peter 4:16-18


The earthquake signals the judgment of verse 17. Notice how there has been no loss of life, even though the 7.1 quake was huge. The intent of the Lord's judgment is not to destroy life. The quake was at a depth of 33km deep underground and the Lord is beginning to shake His church at its foundation. When you find yourself without power and water and telephones or what's spiritually signified by these things, your idols will be revealed. Your character will be revealed, and tested. For many, this is like old news, but to the rest, your turn is coming. The Lord loves us more than to leave us as we are. Trust Him. This work is necessary, and you know it.

New Zealand speaks to me of the land of new zeal. Zeal is quenched by the industry of Babylon. Let the work of the Lord being performed in you to remove you from such harlot industry and ambitious labor bear fruit. Let zeal for Him and His house consume you. The sorceries of Babylon will fall away. Like how the earthquake under Christchurch, New Zealand gave even its infrastructure a severe trial and will change its habitations and inhabitants forever, out of this judgment that begins at the house of God will come a new zeal in the land, the intensely passionate character of true disciples with a submissive beauty that will be finally worthy of the Bridegroom at His coming.

The event shared some of the characteristic features of Neptune's work that I noted from the crucifixion scene. The earth shook and rocks rent and there came a huge storm. After the quake... wind and rainstorms The images you see appear on the New Zealand Herald site. One shows damage at Westpak Cashel Mall. Babylon, Trident, look for yourself in the reflection of the broken glass.

The image below left shows the house featured in the 2005 movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The occult Disney movie was based upon the occult fantasy novel written by C.S. Lewis. This wicked deception is one of the acclaimed works of the proud church of Babylon. Destroyed by the Christchurch earthquake. Yes. It's a sign.

As I posted this online, another headline appeared. New Zealand earthquake rips a new fault line across the world... moving one side of the earth 11ft to the right

The number 11 signifies, the flesh of men is as grass, temporal, fragile. The title's perspective is that one side moved to the right, the sheep side, not the goat side. Again, this is a sign. When the work visits you, be on the side that moves 11 feet to the right!

Let's return our attention to the crucifixion event, twelve orbits of Neptune into the past.

A case has been made from the biblical account and celestial record of that season that some consideration should be given to the planet Neptune and the god thus represented. Aquarius, the constellation Neptune was entering at that very time was called to our attention from the biblical account. Allusion was also being made to Capricornus, a figure of the Beast arising from the sea, through the son of perdition Judas Iscariot and Jesus Barabbas. Neptune was in the fish tail of the goat-headed sign, about to pass through into Aquarius. These observations expose things prophetic, as being fulfilled in that day and as appointed for fulfillment at some future time. Like now, twelve cycles later.

There's one more observation I want to make from the crucifixion account. The darkening of the sun from the sixth to about the ninth hour happened for some reason. Its darkening then the cessation of its darkening was synchronized perfectly with what was happening in heaven and on earth. Neptune was likewise synchronized in its movement. Sunrise was at 5:28, transit (solar noon), 11:43 and sunset, 5:58 PM. The sun was darkened from the 6th hour until about the 9th hour of the day, which is probably from around 11:43 to roughly quarter till three or so. The setting of Neptune in the west-south-west occurred that day at 12:21. With these facts, note that the sign of the temporary darkening of the sun directs our attention to the celestial lights, where the wandering star Neptune set below the horizon while my Lord was hanging on the tree. Neptune's role is important.

I mentioned how Neptune, the "sea king star" was in the tail of the constellation Capricornus, slowly passing into Aquarius. Neptune and the constellations in this region relate to water. Aquarius is the water bearer, pouring out water from one urn into the mouth of a fish. Capricornus is pictured as half goat, half fish. As I've discussed in recent posts relating to fountains and reflecting pools, water is associated with fertility.



"Herodotus (ii. 50, iv. 188) states, that the name and worship of Poseidon was imported to the Greeks from Libya, but he was probably a divinity of Pelasgian origin, and originally a personification of the fertilising power of water, from which the transition to regarding him as the god of the sea was not difficult."
Poseidon - Theoi.com

At some point, the subject of offspring and sexual reproduction has to be brought into every discussion about what things really mean. If you're familiar with this blog, you should know we're not going to be discovering some different bottom line. We see this subject underlying in every context, relating on some deep level to the serpent having offspring, converting or destroying the true God's family until, with an army of his own kind made in his own image, he wars against the true Messiah in the campaign of Armageddon. If something you're looking at can't resolve to a feature of this plan, you're missing something important. Neptune's appearance between Capricornus and Aquarius definitely has this feature.

The beast who arises out of the sea in Revelation 13:1 will have a second beast involved, who causes all to receive a mark. The mark is a transgenic, transfiguring transforming agent that will put an end to their former identity and life as the exchange is made. The death of their human flesh life will bring with it the introduction of a god-flesh kind of life. Remember the astrological symbol of Neptune? The body cannot have two lives, but one and then another that replaces the former. The old must die to bring forth the new like a seed must die to bring forth the new plant life.

Consider how the crucifixion of Y'shua was required, his earthly flesh body had to die. Then, what could be brought forth was the new kind of life! We saw how that crucifixion scenario could be viewed as the work of Neptune/Poseidon. I believe what's going on at the present time is a similar work. Y'shua's death was a pattern for the saints, and there is an anticipation among some of us that the Lord will bring to his church a final work to prepare a pure Bride, worthy of Him. A new life will be brought forth in her, but the former life of the flesh must be cut off. This is not to say that every man and woman who will pass muster will be martyred, because that's not true. However, no one who withholds their life when it is asked of them is worthy of the Lord and surely disqualified from being the Bride.

As the Bridegroom underwent a great trial before the crucifixion, so shall the Bride. He passed the test, and so will the Bride. I've written about this subject for many years now, presented mostly in the body of work titled "Beyond the Veil."

This passage was written about the Bridegroom.


which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;
1 Corinthians 2:8 (YLT)


The devil is blind to what is coming. He pursues saints unto death, not realizing that he is the unwitting pawn who, in so doing, trains the army that will be used in the campaign marking his defeat.

A Celestial Sign - The Twelfth Orbit of Neptune

First, in the news, 'Pretty traumatic' - Christchurch shaken by quake If that's a sign, and that seems likely, it's not hard to read. It relates to the sign of Neptune.

According to Nehemia Gordon in the Karaite Korner Newsletter #474, "Next week is the biblical festival of Yom Teruah, the Day of Shouting/ Trumpeting (literally: noise-making). The moon will definitely be visible from Israel on Friday night September 10..."

We're about to enter another series of appointed times, holy days, which are cryptic prophecies marking special events of the past, present and/or future. These are rehearsals and they're not for naught. The most critical events that are yet to come are related to what has already been. When the Lord Y'shua commanded us to watch (Mark 13:37), inherent in that command is that we become familiar with the testimony of the scriptures, the history of the "moadim" (appointed times), historical events, and cycles of the heavens. There's much to be learned from repeating patterns.

It was through such that the Lord was able to get my attention back in 1991 when the sign of the Lion of the tribe of Judah's coming appeared in the heavens. At that time, a coded prophecy from Genesis 49 was fulfilled, comparing to one in Revelation 12 that was fulfilled at His birth.

What I'm going to present in this post is a celestial sign involving the planet Neptune. (Thanks, John, for bringing this to my attention!) This is not the kind of sign that will cause people to pull their car over and gawk at the sky. Neptune is more dim than the nearby stars of Aquarius through which the constellation's "stick figure" representation is drawn. What makes the event noteworthy is the history. Now, I don't claim to have revelation insight about this. I consider this situation is worth watching, given that we're entering into the fall moadim season, and what appears to be signaled by the sign is not unique. The level of accuracy that I'm using here isn't such that I see a particular day being called out. If there is a specific watch window I see it extending from now through perhaps the next couple months.

Neptune was "discovered" (at least, acknowledged as such in the modern era) on September 23rd, 1846. The image above right is a view of the sky from that very day that shows Neptune's position between Capricornus and Aquarius (as viewed from Jerusalem, Israel, Earth).

This planet orbits the sun once every 164.79 Earth years. In the image below left you can see how the sky appears today, very nearly one full "Neptune Year" after its discovery. Notice Neptune's location.

Twelve Neptune orbits ago, it appeared as in the image below right. This is the sky of April 3, 33 AD, when the great Pesah sacrifice was made and Y'shua gave up his life, crucified. Neptune's location is very close to where it was when Neptune was discovered and where it is today. This observation was interesting enough to prompt some further investigation.

Many years ago the Lord highlighted the following passage to me as making reference to the celestial sign known as Aquarius, the water bearer. Notice from the passage how the water bearer feature was a sign to Peter and John (together, the Bride and the 144,000 sons of Israel - see Beyond the Veil)that would lead them to the upper room where they would sup with their Lord (a symbol of a very special place in the heavenlies).


8) And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9) And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10) And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11) And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12) And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13) And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14) And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
Luke 22:8-14


At that time Neptune was positioned as pictured above, entering into the region of the sky known as the water bearer.

The following passage speaks to me of this same region of the sky, as blood and water poured out of the sacrifice, as a sign.


32) Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33) But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs
34) But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35) And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36) For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37) And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
John 19:32-37


Since these passages of scripture direct those familiar with the message of the gospel written in the celestial heavens to this region of the sky, what's found when we turn our attention there should be noted in the context of the very significant events unfolding in the earth. The Hermetic Maxim I've referred to in recent blog posts, "As Above, So Below," is a simplistic but valid observation of a great truth presented in Romans 1. Agreeing with the testimony of Psalm 19, the heavenly lights above give a synchronized testimony of the actual events in the heavenlies and in the Earth below. When we look to the referenced region of the sky of that day we see the "wandering star," Neptune.

It should be noted here that there are many levels of symbolism that apply to the planets. For example, the planet Jupiter is a symbol for both the true messiah and the false, depending upon the context and perspective. Likewise Mercury may represent Hermes or, I believe, Gabriel. The Sun may represent Zeus or Apollo, or Bridegroom Y'shua. The names and meanings associated with the stars and constellations also have more than one level of symbolism. What scholarly men like Bullinger and Seiss have offered for interpretations in their popular works is of interest, yet, it must be stated here that their observations hold no particular authority. Neither do those who interpret the meanings of the celestial lights from other perspectives have authority. If we are to know what the Lord is revealing to us about them, we must seek Him with obedience because He is the authority. Only as we seek and find from Him do we keep ourselves from error. Astrology and occult wisdom that is a perversion of the truth is only discerned through a close familiarity with the genuine. Get to know Him and abide in Him. If you shaky on this, you've got no business here. This is not milk but meat for those who have been weaned. If you're confident in the Lord's drawing you here, there are some very interesting things to consider.

Neptune is associated with Satan and the beast of Revelation 13. Most languages today use some variant of the name "Neptune" for the planet. In Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages, the planet's name translates to "sea king star." Jupiter is the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Zeus. Zeus is an alias for Satan according to the Revelation 2 message to Pergamum. Neptune is the Roman equivalent of the Greek Poseidon. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades are the big three gods of Greece. These may be three different identities for the god referred to as Satan.

The astrological symbol for Neptune is a trident and cross. The cross signifies the intersection or union of the sons of god (the vertical) with the daughters of men (the horizontal). The trident signifies the triple-helix DNA structure of the hybrid bodies produced in that union. The Neptune symbol is a very concise emblem of the mark of the Beast.

Thirteen moons orbit Neptune. This number has the meanings of "Lord" and also "rebellion." This is a primary number signaling the Beast. During the Pesah season marking the close of Y'shua's earthly ministry to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, there were two of these "13-numbered" characters in view, a betrayer named Judas (John 17:12) (referenced as the son of perdition like the lawless one (2 Thessalonians 2:3)), and a Jesus Barabbas, another prefiguring of the antichrist Beast.

It's in the first verse of the thirteenth chapter of Revelation where we read of a beast seen rising up out of the sea. Neptune is the god of the sea.


And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:1


When Y'shua was crucified and gave up his life, certain dramatic signs were manifested. Since these signs actually correspond to the classic attributes of Neptune/Poseidon, it testifies that there's something to be learned here.

The following excerpts present some basic attributes of Neptune/Poseidon.

"With his trident, he could command the waves, cause storms, shake the earth, sink boats on the high sea, or cause springs to flow."
Poseidon - Functions and Character (From Myth To Eternity - The Tales And Legends Of Ancient Greece)

"Being the ruler of the sea (the Mediterranean), he is described as gathering clouds and calling forth storms, but at the same he has it in his power to grant a successful voyage and save those who are in danger, and all other marine divinities are subject to him. As the sea surrounds and holds the earth, he himself is described as the god who holds the earth (gaiêochos), and who has it in his power to shake the earth (enosichthôn, kinêtêr gas)."
"The symbol of Poseidon's power was the trident, or a spear with three points, with which he used to shatter rocks, to call forth or subdue storms, to shake the earth, and the like."
Poseidon - Theoi.com

Here's a selection of verses from the crucifixion account in Matthew.


38) Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

50) Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51) And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

54) Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Matthew 27:38, 50-51, 54


A Roman centurion would have been quite familiar with Neptune, whose trident was used to shatter rocks and to shake the earth. So, consider how two thieves were crucified with Y'shua, one on the right hand, and another on the left. They would have been hung with nails through their wrists on large wooden stakes. There were no cross members, like you seen in pictures. The scene resembled a giant trident stuck into the ground! When Y'shua died, "the earth did quake, and the rocks rent." Something in this witnessed to the centurion who was educated in the ways of gods and demi-gods!

Here's verse 54 as rendered more literally from the Greek.


And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, `Truly this was God's Son.'
Matthew 27:54 (YLT)


Notice how the proposition "the" does not appear in connection with "God's Son." The proposition really doesn't appear in the text. Check your reference works. It's a subtle thing, but I want to call your attention to how such language causes those who read "Truly this was the Son of God" in their Bible to assume it means these observers were convinced that the one who died was the singular Son of the one true Sovereign God. When the centurion and those watching with him feared greatly and were saying, `Truly this was God's Son,' must we assume they were instantly converted from paganism? Would it help you consider the possibilities if we removed the capitalized letters, reading their response as `Truly this was god's son'? The gods fathered many children with other gods and with mortals. Maybe some movie you've seen reinforced the sermons and popular interpretation of the reading, but really, while such readings, sermons and movies are influential, there is no implicit authority in them. I don't find anything in the context that suggests whether the centurion or the others with him discerned which god or God may have fathered Y'shua. If I've overlooked something, please do me the favor of letting me know.

While this observation may offend some who read this, It must be said that I'm not presenting this to subtract from any honor due my Lord Y'shua or His Heavenly Father but to bring what's actually written to your attention, so you don't read into it what's not really there. Being held in bondage to errors of tradition gives the Truth no honor at all!

So, while we don't want to read into a passage what's not there, neither do we want to neglect to see what is there, even when it's imprinted between the lines, so to speak. What I understand about Neptune suggests to me that some consideration must be given to his potential role in the crucifixion.


which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;
1 Corinthians 2:8 (YLT)


I believe the testimony of the scriptures, that the rulers of this age were involved in the crucifixion. I believe the false god Satan in the guise of Neptune left his mark at the scene of the crime. I believe the location of the planet we know as Neptune at that very time should at the present time (being 12 orbits later) be considered for its potential as a sign. That such celestial lights were given as signs to mark seasons (Hebrew moadim - "appointed times") is the clear testimony of Genesis 1:14. When the scriptures direct our attention to the heavens, we should look up and consider the signs in the heavens!

How are we directed to look up to the heavens in the account of the crucifixion?


44) And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45) And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
Luke 23:44-45


The sun was darkened - that's in the heavens. There's more here that should be considered.

A centurion would surely view such a scene as that differently from you and I. The sun being darkened followed by a trident stuck into the earth with rocks rending and the earth shaking would be viewed as Neptune overshadowing Jupiter and Apollo. Doubt it? Consider the pagan influence in this scriptural account of what happened in the Roman colony of Lystra.


9) The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10) Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
11) And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12) And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13) Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
Acts 14:9-13


I believe this pagan influence is evident in another element in the crucifixion scene. I always puzzled over why people looked for Elias to get involved. Now, I understand how Elias is on their minds because of what's happening with the sun.


45) Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47) Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48) And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49) The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Matthew 27:45-49


So, why would they think he's calling for Elias and watching to see whether Elias would come to save him? The darkness over all the land with the darkened sun began from the sixth hour but it concluded at the ninth hour. When Y'sua gave his life at about the ninth hour, the sun was either no longer darkened or just about to be. There's a Wikipedia entry for Elias with some interesting insight, with the Hellenist influence relating Elias with Helios and/or Apollo, the sun god.

"Helios the sun-god became the prophet Elijah (the Greek form is Elias and, as the [...] had probably already fallen into disuse at the time of the changeover, the disguise was very thin). The name of this Hebrew prophet is now very common in Greece, but rare in Italy, where this name for Apollo was unknown. His shrine is always on mountains and hilltops where Helios, the heaven-born flaming charioteer, was worshipped. They symbolize, says the Church, Elijah's whirlwind assumption to heaven in a chariot of fire drawn by horses of fire; and hundreds of lofty peaks all over the Greek world still commemorate this personification of Apollo." (Fermor, Patrick Leigh (1958). Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese)

If there are no false gods, then none of this makes any sense, or matters. But, if there are, we do well to acknowledge their influence on pagans, their cultures, and pick up on the Bible's clues that have been woven in for our benefit. I perceive the influence of Hermes over Rochester, NY and over America. I perceive Apollo's influence over Hitler, Obama, Sir Francis Bacon and George Washington. I perceive Satan's work in the guise of Neptune/Poseidon at the crucifixion. Today, around twelve Neptune orbits later, is there some crucifixion kind of event we should anticipate?

Next post, Lord willing...

Part 18 - Rochester, NY - The Dream of the Green Snake

In this eighteenth post in the series I'm continuing to share what I understand about some of the places, people and events that happened around Rochester, NY that had lasting and sometimes global impact. In this, there's also some things to be learned that are more universally applicable. I grew up nearby and still visit on occasion.

What I've been writing about has been sometimes very personal, because of my history there and what the Lord is doing in peculiar ways at the present. Some of what I write might make you suspect I hold a grudge or some bitterness. While the "area" was seldom particularly kind or generous to me, the motivation in this series compares with everything else I write in that I'm honestly just trying to be faithful to what my Lord is doing. His work in Rochester is a work of love for great good!

I believe what He's doing with me and Rochester involves a special provision of grace at the present time, because His vast provision of mercy must very soon be withdrawn. Judgment is coming even now into the world, into the U.S. and into Rochester, NY. What makes today different from yesterday isn't just that the judicial decision that precedes the execution of a sentence is closer, what has changed and is changing is the accountability factor. Some of you are very aware how that some of the declarations being made today are not without authority. What you, reader, are doing in response to what your eyes are opening to see and your ears to hear, matters. It matters on the personal level and on the community and regional levels. You might be able to shrug this off, but you shouldn't. As conviction comes, take heed, my friends and family. There is nowhere to hide - except in Him, the Lord Y'shua. Repent and seek His favor.

In part 17 of this series I pointed out some of the circumstances surrounding my reading of a short story about Rochester, NY's Midtown Plaza, the "Clock of Nations" and what might be called the blood sealed vault of Cthulhu.

I must offer the same caveat as before, if that one bothered you, don't read this at bedtime.

The fictional story was authored by Terry Mahoney and posted on Helium: Short stories: Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft Beyond what I shared in part 17, there's more you should know that might give some teeth to what I shared in the previous couple of paragraphs. It means more than just confirming the magick of the mall and clock. Judgment is here.

The circumstances of my reading the story served to highlight it as something that demanded further attention. The word "synchronicity" (coined by Carl Jung) might come to mind, but these things are absolutely not "causally unrelated." 1. I had watched the A&E special about the history of human sacrifice and blood sacrifice in the nights before reading the story, with a bizarre blood sacrifice scene featured at the story's climax. 2. I had the current background image on my pc desktop framing the app I was using to read the story, and with all the themes and backgrounds available, the one in view just happened to closely resemble the rare features described in that scene as sea anemones or mushrooms. 3. The only Netflix DVD I had on hand was titled "Stranger than Fiction," which aptly described the situation. When watching the movie, I perceived how the Lord was emphasizing to me that there was something personal about this short story that was going to be revealed.

I'm going to refer to the unnamed email-writing character of the story as "Terry," since that's the author's name and it was written from a first-person narrative point of view. I had previously shared only one parallel between myself and "Terry," the missing fingers on the left hand. There are more!



Midtown Plaza's grand opening ceremony took place in April of 1962, when "Terry" was "no more than four or five." I was 4 1/2. Born November 20, 1957.

"Terry" wrote, "I felt a sharp tingling in my birthmark, almost like the time I had touched the bare patch on the kitchen lamp's power cord." I have a vivid memory from when I was probably 3 years old, of being tossed across the room during a brief experiment with a bobby pin and a wall outlet. My right hand was burned, maybe both. Some blistering, pain and crying ensued.

"Terry" attended the ceremony at Midtown Plaza with his Mom, cutting the red-ribbon at Mayor Gillette's invitation. I doubt I had ever heard of Mayor Gillette, and was probably at home that day, in Macedon, about 20 minutes away. I can't say because I don't know the exact date, but I was either living in or about to move into my family's newly constructed home on the outskirts of the village, at 666 West Main Street. The number has since been changed, but, yes, that was the number while I lived there.

"Terry" was living in Canandaigua in 2008. He visited Midtown Plaza following the removal of the clock, where he performed the ceremony at the clock's former position. I was living in California in 2008. I didn't visit Midtown Plaza, but I did visit Rochester in December of that year. As I was leaving town at the conclusion of my visit, I definitely noticed the Clock of Nations in its new home at the airport, reflecting back upon having watched it at Midtown Plaza when I was a little boy. I took pictures, some of which I've used in this blog, and some video, which I recently posted to YouTube. (In some contexts of viewing this post, the video will appear below.)

Here's a link to video of The final moments of Midtown Plaza that may help you picture the place.

With regard to the clock, here's what "Terry" remembered from the red-ribbon cutting ceremony. As the ribbon fluttered down, I felt a sharp tingling in my birthmark, almost like the time I had touched the bare patch on the kitchen lamp's power cord. My vision shifted a bit then, in a way I can now only describe as curdled. I was focusing on one of the puppets in the Clock of Nations, and while I could see the puppet Statue of Liberty, the rest of my field of vision seemed to crinkle up and pull in."

The video was shot during "the hour of United States," at Noon, so it features music keyed to this nation. When you watch that video I posted from my visit in 2008, you'll notice that the only nation's scene that's animated is the one for the United States. You find most other videos posted have all of them animated. When I look at that "United States" flower pod with the statue and the flags of all the nations twirling around to that music, about all I can think of is BABYLON. It just screams BABYLON! The enchantments of the whore who rides the Beast! (I've got research notes and insight awaiting a near-future post connecting these "Statue of Liberty" dots, Lord willing!)

One wonders what "Terry" might have seen at the casting of the red-ribbon cutting spell. Was his curdled vision of the Statue of Liberty in 1962 the distorted view as seen through a time portal into 2008, or 2012 perhaps? Was he looking beyond through a magick portal to when the clock's magick, bound to the magick of the Statue of Liberty, would, like a timer, count down to an appointed time? Is something like a blood sealed vault of the Cthulhu going to be opened with something like the "Clock of Nations" involved as some kind of magickal seal or key?

Why would I wonder such things? After all, it's just fiction, right? Well, no. It's just fiction only if there really is nothing more to it. Can you say there's nothing more to it? Well, of course, you can say whatever you want, but logically, there's no proof you could back it with. As for me, its my testimony that there is something more to it than mere fiction. Like Harold Crick (Stranger than Fiction) knew he wasn't crazy and that his life was being narrated, I can tell you this resembles that!

Back in 1999, the loss of my fingers in a table saw accident took place in a very interesting context. It's far too long a story to go into much detail, but the Lord had been working with me about some very large scale kinds of things. He had been testing me in peculiar ways, proving me and my willingness to follow. I can't say I have all the answers from that period but this short story connects some dots for me.

A few days after the accident I had a dream. The following excerpt is from a page on my Web site. My Accident on 11/2/99 and Dream on 11/7/99

"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."

Now, here's an excerpt from the short story.

"There, in the scarred floor where the clock once stood, a fissure had opened. A single green tentacle had started to nose its way out, but the eye blinked at me soothingly, so I didn't worry. Besides, I had the scissors. Then my left hand shot out toward the tentacle, and the white marks on my left fingertips seemed to blossom. Things vaguely like anemone and mushrooms sprouted, and seemed to grow rapidly to meet the thrusting tentacle halfway. When they met, I felt that same electric shock I had felt so long ago when I cut the ribbon. The eye on my right hand blinked at me again, and seemed to pull my right hand toward the sprouting left hand."

"Terry" described how his left hand shot out towards the single green tentacle that had started to nose its way out of the fissure. In a prophetic dream, my left hand shot out towards the green "snake"! "Terry's" left hand met the thrusting green tentacle halfway, and as it did, he felt the same shock recalled from his memory. In my dream, my left hand's index finger's tip (that had actually been cut off five days earlier) met the green snake on the base of the back of its head and pinned it down. The pressure I felt was a tingling pressure, real enough and intense enough to bring me half out of the dream, a sensation I recalled from memory because I no longer had a tip on that finger!

I'm not making this up. "Stranger than Fiction" indeed! Here's another excerpt from what I had written about my dream nearly 11 years ago.

"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."

"...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."
1 John 3:8

Here's where dots connect. What is going on today relates to what was going on then. The Lord was preparing me and preparing a work that is being fulfilled in activity that includes this blogging.

"Terry's" action was being directed by an entity pictured as the animated eye of his birthmark. I have no birthmark such as is visible on my skin, but I have the Creator's seed passed down through Adam and Noah. I have also been born from above of incorruptible seed which I have as a token. With this birth marking me as a son of my heavenly Father, He (omniscient lamp-eye) directs me lighting my path and showing me things through His eyes.

I understood the meaning of the dream to be a promise that the Son of God will manifest himself through me to destroy the works of the devil, but not through my flesh. Like my dear brother Joseph Herrin continues to preach so steadfastly, it is through the cross of Christ and the cutting off of the flesh that the Lord manifests Himself. Certainly, a parable can be found in that, but what happened to me with the table saw in 1999 was not directly an act of willing sacrifice. I didn't spill my blood on purpose for some higher cause. There was no command, and neither was there any Professor, scissors or magickal chants involved. Some dramatic circumstances lead up to that accidental flesh cutting and blood letting encounter with the saw and the dream that followed. When I consider the accident and dream in the context of those circumstances and in light of the short story and circumstances surrounding it, dots connect.

You might perceive something of it. I won't share it here, which would consume another lengthy post, but consider 1 John 3:8 (above) in its context and consider what I've written in the past couple years. I've written about the green. I've written about the snake. I've written about the children of God and the children of the devil, and Cain. Whatever of that is of me, it will come to naught, but there's more to it than me. Some of you reading this post may observe how the Lord has been working with you in recent days and reflect back upon what the Lord has promised to fulfill in you. I am perceiving right now the Son of God manifesting in us and destroying the works of the devil. And shouts of "Amen" arise in the camp! :)

The works of the devil abound in Rochester. I anticipate continuing to expose their nature and purpose. I can't really say how long this will last, because I'm just going where I'm led. I may be done before even posting this. If the Lord continues to go "there" and I follow, the evil works will continue to be destroyed.

I want you to know that the Lord is not going to destroy any facet of Babylon until He is fully done with it. What He will do is continue to call individuals out of Babylon, and draw them out. And, He will continue to set such as these, whom He loves with a great love, free from the bondage of sin. He will remove Babylon from them, and the scales from eyes, granting the ability to see. And, He will bring the sentence of judgment with wrath in His appointed time. As I noted at the outset, I believe what He's doing with me and Rochester involves a special provision of grace at the present time, because His vast provision of mercy must very soon be withdrawn.

If "Terry's" curdled vision of the Statue of Liberty in 1962 was a prophetic view through a time portal into the future when the clock counts down and something like a blood sealed vault of the Beast and his Nephilim is going to be opened, well, let's not act surprised. Let's act with wisdom and courage now, preparing, knowing that the Bible will be fulfilled. This is our time. Make it count. Focus on what the Lord has before you right now. This is a season for fulfilling dreams and visions. Not those of our flesh, but of His spirit!

Part 17 - Rochester, NY - The Blood Sealed Vault of Cthulhu

This is a post you should probably not use for bedtime reading material because you are likely to find it rather disturbing. If you are one of my family or are already disturbed by what I've written in this series I would like you to pause and pray about whether to proceed. You may want to skip it, at least for now. I'm not being melodramatic. If you know me well at all you know I love to joke around - but there is no joking here. It should be taken very seriously.

A fictional short story featuring Rochester, NY's "Clock of Nations" was written not long ago. I discovered it last week while researching the clock. The story itself, the context of the story and the circumstances surrounding my personal encounter with the story mark it as something worthy of deep consideration. The Lord has a message in this. The story can be read at this link: An Untitled Short Story by Terry Mahoney - Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft

The story should be considered as a required part of this post, so please read it before continuing here.

Done? Ready? OK. What was the inspiration for writing such a story? I'm not asking the author, I'm posing it to you. Thoughtful and informed answers are going to suggest that there is indeed something special about the clock, something supernatural and significant.



The elements of the story are a mix of fact and fiction. The clock is real. In Rochester, NY on the 10th day of April, 1962, the grand opening ceremony of Midtown Plaza in downtown was attended by thousands. The celebration featured a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Mayor Gillette and other politicians. Those familiar with H. P. Lovecraft will recognize some fictional elements like the Miskatonic University and Arkham Asylum, with which the character "Professor Alicea" was associated. Into which of the two categories are we to assign the plot's mystical elements? Is there in fact some magickal "seal on 'the vault'" influenced by the clock's location and relocation? Did the clock's removal require something like a sealing with blood, or is the core theme of ceremonial magick a purely fictional component of the story?



If you've been reading the blog you know I've declared several times that there is magick of some significance pertaining to the clock. Given its context and history, the kind of magick described by Terry Mahoney shouldn't be immediately dismissed as devoid of factual substance simply because the story is fictional. Was Jonathan Swift's unlikely description of Phobos and Deimos in "Gulliver's Travels" devoid of factual substance?

Consider this excerpt from the story. "The gist of the letter was that I needed to come to visit the professor in Arkham, or what I had done so long ago would be undone and some sort of vault or gate would reopen and creatures with a whole lot of consonants and not many vowels in their names would be free to terrorize Rochester."

If you've been reading this blog or listening to Tom Horn and Steve Quayle, or keying in to what many others are suggesting or declaring with mounting conviction, you are probably beginning to realize how that, when you read something about the opening of such a gateway, it warrants giving it further attention to consider what the Lord might reveal!

I believe Mr. Mahoney's inspiration was supernatural. It compares on some level to that of Geri Kavanaugh and Dale Clark, who were responsible for the clock. I have to believe that Victor Gruen, who designed the mall, Bill Stewart ("The Council") and everyone else responsible for the subjects of this blog series share a similar source of inspiration. As to whether the occultists associated with Freemasonry are directly involved with any of this activity, I cannot say because I have no direct proof; the members can be rather secretive, as you may know. As to whether the pharmakeia of the great city Babylon is involved with the objects and their inspiration, I can declare with confidence, yes.

Before I expand on the context of the short story and share the circumstances surrounding my personal encounter with it, I'd like you to consider what can be gleaned about Midtown Plaza and malls in general from the following excerpts from an article published in 2007.



"In 1964, Gruen declared Midtown Plaza the first living example of a theory of urban revitalization he called “transfiguration.” ... "But to Gruen, the non-retail elements of Midtown were anything but ornamental, and anything but mere enticements to attract shoppers. They were central to the project itself. And if they didn’t succeed, neither would Midtown." ... "In 1964, in the same book in which he outlined “transfiguration,” Gruen called for a new type of architect—an “environmental architect”—who would, among other things, possess a “restless seeking for deeper insight into the nature of man.”" ([PDF] The Life and Times of Midtown Plaza by Karen McCally, Ph.D. - Rochester History (Magazine) - A Publication of the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County and the Rochester Historical Society)

Transfiguration? A “restless seeking for deeper insight into the nature of man”? Hmmmmm.

As for the inspiration of the clock, well, if you happen to see an eccentric old guy hitchhiking and pushing the coffin on wheels he sleeps in, somewhere between Tombstone, AZ and ..., that would be Dale Clark, the artist responsible for the clock's design.

Now, given the fact that Mahoney's short story appears in "Short stories: Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft," plus the fact that it features fictional elements common to Lovecraft's work, the inspiration is obviously H. P. Lovecraft. The further inspiration that lies beyond is the serpent dragon. The link to the untitled story lists a string of keywords in its url, the first being, "lovecraft" and the second, "cthulhu," which offers more insight into source of inspiration. Cthulhu (commonly pronounced: ke-THOO-loo) is a fictional "cosmic entity" created by Lovecraft.

The following is excerpted from the Wikipedia entry for Cthulhu in the Cult of Cthulhu section.

"Cthulhu is depicted as having a worldwide doomsday cult centered in Arabia, with followers in regions as far-flung as Greenland and Louisiana. There are leaders of the cult "in the mountains of China" who are said to be immortal. Cthulhu is described by some of these cultists as the "great priest" of "the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky."
The cult is noted for chanting the phrase "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", which translates as "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." This is often shortened to "Cthulhu fhtagn", which might possibly mean "Cthulhu waits", "Cthulhu dreams", or "Cthulhu waits dreaming."
One cultist, known as Old Castro, provides the most elaborate information given in Lovecraft's fiction about Cthulhu. The Great Old Ones, according to Castro, had come from the stars to rule the world in ages past.
They were not composed altogether of flesh and blood. They had shape...but that shape was not made of matter. When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live. But although They no longer lived, They would never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their great city of R'lyeh, preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu for a glorious resurrection when the stars and the earth might once more be ready for Them.
Castro points to a "much-discussed couplet" from Abdul Alhazred's Necronomicon:
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
Castro explains the role of the Cthulhu Cult, stating that when the stars and the earth "might once more be ready" for the Great Old Ones, "some force from outside must serve to liberate their bodies. The spells that preserved Them intact likewise prevented them from making an initial move." At the proper time,
the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from his tomb to revive His subjects and resume his rule of earth....Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom."
(Cult of Cthulhu - Wikipedia)

Soooooooooooooo, if explanation is required, methinks you arrived here by accident. The veil concealing the identity of the Watchers and Nephilim is so thin as to be practically nonexistent. Here is the inspiration for the story about the ceremonial magick of Rochester's "Clock of Nations."

And now, if you're still with me, I'm going to share some of the circumstances surrounding my own personal experience of reading of the story. Some of you will recognize this as the Lord's calling it to my/our particular attention. It's an affirmation that ceremonial magick is behind Midtown Plaza and the "Clock of Nations."

When I found the short story, I read with fascination enough to see there was magick involved with the clock. I was in the middle of researching a variety of related aspects of the clock and the mall, making notes and preparing a blog post. Since I could tell the story wasn't going to be in the current post and was satisfied for the moment, not wanting to be further distracted from the focus of the moment, I kept the page open in a tab so I could easily resume reading sometime later. When I returned to it, knowing how content on the Web tends to come and go, and, feeling that it was important enough to save a copy locally, I selected the story's text from each of the four pages and copy/pasted it into a text format document. Then I read it.

When I read a text format document I sometimes make it easier to read by resizing the application until the length of a line is more like you see in a book. When I did that, the desktop background was visible all around the outside. Most people have a fixed desktop background but mine was configured to rotate from one scene to the next every 20 minutes. It's a feature of Windows 7. Nice themes, nice backgrounds - adds a little variety, which is appreciated when I'm parked in front of the screen as much as I am. So, there's me, finally getting around to reading the story, looking at it in a window around which is the current theme's current background image.

I'm reading along and get to the place where the letter-writing lead character is having a really weird engagement with his birthmark/eye. He takes the scissors and heads down to the old Midtown Plaza. On the way, he begins to share about the appearance of wiggling sea anemones on the tips of the fingers of his left hand and how the birthmark/eye on his right hand basically assumed control.


As I'm reading I'm noticing the current desktop background. It looks like a sea anemone! The image above-right is a screenshot of the background I was looking at.

Reading on, with the letter writer's arrival at the mall where the clock had been, the scissors from the mall's red ribbon cutting ceremony began to engage with the wiggling sea anemone/octopus tentacles on his left hand. It is dawning on me that he's cutting off his fingers. As he chants the incantation he learned from the Professor, the ceremonial magick is performed and the fissure that had opened in the scarred floor where the clock once stood was sealed with blood. He observed that his fingers had all landed in the cleft, and he was happy to see that. That's weird.

You may not know this about me, but some fingers are missing from my left hand, cut off in a table saw accident in 1999. As I look back and forth between my left hand with its missing fingers and the desktop background, there was a definite creepiness factor beyond that of the story itself, which was already plenty creepy enough! Now, such a thing could really freak a guy out, but the Lord always prepares people for such things, and He has prepared me for such extreme weirdness on a number of occasions. While this was pretty high on the freaky scale, I could recognize His hand at work and gratefully acknowledge receipt of a message with some retained sense of humor. I get it. There may be more to it than I know at the present, but I get that he's affirming the magick of the clock as I've been presenting to you in this series.

Let me fill you in on more of the circumstances.

I'm a Netflix subscriber. I queue up a list of DVD's to be sent and they ship them in order. I don't usually pay much attention to what's coming and when. I usually have one or two at the top of the queue that get skipped over because they're not available for shipping yet. Sometimes, instead of watching a DVD, I watch one from their selection of instant "streaming" movies. No DVD. No Shipping. Available anytime. The Lord's hand in directing the content and timing of what I watch is sometimes really obvious because the interaction is seamlessly related to what He's revealing to me as I study and blog.

So, after I had read the short story and finished pacing up and down, saying "Whoah" and "Wow," and profound utterances like that, and praying, I thought about winding down for the night. I headed over to the counter to see what DVD I had on hand. "Stranger than Fiction." That's the title of the movie! "Stranger than Fiction." Well, that was hard to argue against! So, I had to watch it. You might think it related somehow, and sure enough, it did!

The movie was made in 2006, is rated PG-13 and is 113 minutes long. The Netflix description begins, "Harold Crick becomes aware of someone narrating his life in real time. Has a literary expert help him identify the author." During the course of the movie, the literary expert tells Harold that the expression he heard from the voice narrating his life, "Little did he know," revealed that it was what's referred to as "third person omniscient." What had been happening to me wasn't what Harold was experiencing, but I could sure relate to the "third person omniscient" bit! "Little did he know." Ha! Pretty amusing!

The next day when I was reviewing the previous day's bizarre happenings, yet another strange circumstance came to my awareness as I remembered how that in the nights before that I had been watching an A&E movie on Netflix titled "Ancient Mysteries: Human Sacrifice" The Netflix description begins, "The acclaimed A&E series "Ancient Mysteries" explores the gruesome and fascinating history of ritualistic human sacrifice across cultures worldwide. Why did practitioners believe spilling human blood could appease the gods?"

OK. I warned you this was some weird stuff. Some who read this will want to think I'm making this stuff up. You're welcome to think that, if you can't take what I shared at face value and that's what you want to think. However, if you know me better than that, you probably also know this is not uncharacteristic of how the Lord works. He does this to get our attention, to direct our focus of attention, to make a point. Are we paying attention yet?

There are some more things I'd like to share before I really close this out, but it can wait. Lord willing - to be continued...

Part 16 - Rochester, NY - Magickal Midtown Plaza

Signs of demonic dominion and ceremonial magick appear in concrete form, expressed in the tangible art and architecture of a region. The signs also appear in abstract or intangible form, expressed through the events and literature produced under it's influence. When reading what others have written about Rochester, NY and its celebrated Midtown Plaza and "Clock of Nations" you will discover the occasional instance of allusion to the enchantment of Babylon. I'll present a few examples here, to be followed (Lord willing) by one in particular that was highlighted to me in very dramatic way.

"Older Rochesterians often remember the downtown of the 1950s as a magical place." ([PDF] The Life and Times of Midtown Plaza by Karen McCally, Ph.D. - Rochester History (Magazine) - A Publication of the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County and the Rochester Historical Society)

"As a centerpiece he ordered a big central clock (Meet me under the clock) that contains puppetry: every half-hour, shoppers see a little "show" keyed to the folkways of a different nation. Midtown's overall effect, says one entranced lady shopper, "is that it's glamorous. You can get all gussied up and have lunch downtown and make a real shopping spree out of it." (Time Magazine - The City: Filling the Doughnut - Friday, Apr. 20, 1962) The word "entranced" means, "To put into a trance."

"The final Christmas season at Midtown Plaza took place in 2007. A 40-foot Douglas Fir was donated to the mall by Dave Manioci, Midtown's Chief Engineer. A tribute to Midtown took place on December 1, 2007, which attracted thousands of people from Rochester, NY and the surrounding areas to what was called "a magical event." ... On July 29, 2008 Midtown Plaza closed its doors to the public for the last time, as scheduled." (Midtown Plaza (Rochester) Wikipedia)

This kind of colorful language isn't uncommon, and, normally, the use of such descriptive words doesn't suggest that we should take them literally, yet, knowing what I've been presenting in this series, there does seem to be the perception of a genuine supernatural dynamic, a "vibe," if you will. Such a perception has been the testimony of some who have contacted me recently in response to this blog series. This perception is what I want to highlight here as an evidence of the spiritual condition.

I'm going to draw attention to the language used in a promo from 1963, introduced a couple posts back. You can watch it again, if you like, but I'll be quoting from it so there's no real need.

That promo's narrative begins: "Meet me at the "Clock of the Nations" in Midtown Plaza, Rochester, NY, where each passing hour is gaily saluted in the carnival spirit that is universal with people everywhere, and I'll acquaint you with *" (* As a substitute for saying these words, there's a musical fanfare with the words "Rochester a city of quality" appearing as though "Rochester" is ascending.)

OK. Someone with "carnival spirit" is literally a candidate for exorcism. (See here, where the same carnival spirit is leveraged in this occult Olympic ceremony.) Sadly, it is almost "universal with people everywhere." Note that this is what's identified with the regular action of the clockworks.

The image here is of Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, seated in front of his calliope. Before founding the church he played it professionally at carnivals.

In the last minute or so of the promo you'll hear the narrator say these words. "Midtown Plaza is simply the most dramatic ingredient of the Rochester recipe for good living. There are thousands more, maybe not so fancy, but, certainly just as important as the song and dance of our fabled timepiece. In Rochester, even these marionettes have "Genesee Fever." They perform every hour, on the half-hour too, in the carnival spirit that is the timeless magic of the marketplace since cities began. A delight to the children, an intriguing interlude to shoppers and visitors from all over the world."

Reading between the lines, reference is made to Midtown Plaza's role in Rochester, NY's pharmakeia as "the most dramatic ingredient of the Rochester recipe." The word "recipe" relates to the ubiquitous pharmaceutical prescription symbol. "Rx is an abbreviation for the Latin word 'recipere' or 'recipe,' which means 'Take, thou.'" (What does the pharmacist's symbol "Rx" mean?) (Revelation 18:23 - "...for by thy sorceries (pharmakeia, drug spells or enchantments) were all nations deceived.")

"...the song and dance of our fabled timepiece." As an idiomatic expression, a "song and dance" is a deceptive ploy intended to mislead. Musical spells are another form of pharmakeia. Interpret this as a hint that the clock is simply not what it appears to be.

In what way was the newly commissioned and installed timepiece "fabled"? If you consider the variety of meanings of the word it seems that other definitions beyond what might have first come to mind may be more appropriate.

Reading between the lines of these two sentences is revealing! "In Rochester, even these marionettes have "Genesee Fever." They perform every hour, on the half-hour too, in the carnival spirit that is the timeless magic of the marketplace since cities began." When you read, "in the carnival spirit that is the timeless magic of the marketplace since cities began", well, this just has mystery Babylon written all over it! This supernatural dynamic is explicitly  associated with the animated marionettes, which are "unhidden" and perform for one rotation/orbit of the clock every half hour.

The name given to this particular spirit is regional, "Genesee Fever." Historically, this term referred to both a malaria-like sickness and something akin to "gold rush fever."

"Genesee Fever" was a malaria-like sickness infamously associated with the area. The first settlement in what would become known as Rochester was called King's Landing. Founded in 1796-97 on the Genesee River, this was where the first American schooner on the Great Lakes was built. In 1803, its population was nearly wiped out by the fever and subsequently abandoned. In 1809, the tract was resettled as Hansford's Landing, then abandoned in 1816 after many contracted the fever and died.

The expression "Genesee Fever" was also used to refer to the large scale migration of people from New England to Upstate New York in the 1790s. (New England's Migration Fever: The Expansion of America - Ancestry Magazine - July/August 2000)



The civic-minded (think Cain and Nimrod) marketing copy writer(s) dubbed the local enchantments of Mystery Babylon, "Genesee Fever." Is the infectious motivational spirit attributed to the animated marionettes of Midtown Plaza's "Clock of Nations" like what I've described as the effect of Hermes' caduceus wand? Is this the magick of "Rochester General" or the prince of Rochester?

The signs of demonic dominion and ceremonial magick appear in concrete form expressed in the tangible art and architecture of a region. The signs also appear in abstract or intangible form, expressed through the events and literature produced under it's influence.

More coming, Lord willing!

Part 15 - Rochester, NY - Midtown Plaza - The Pride of the City

When Midtown Plaza was dedicated in April, 1962, the Rochester, NY landmark idol of Mercury / Hermes had already been warehoused for around 11 years, since 1951. While such monuments as the cherubic "Wings of Progress" had continued to declare dominion over the city, it would be about another 11 years before Hermes would be restored to the heights above the city. Was the city enjoying a season of release from demonic oppression, having torn down a pagan high place? Had its "priests" been removed from the land in classic acts of obedience characterizing repentance? No. There seems to be no evidence that anyone had come walking in the footsteps of Charles G. Finney. At the dedication of Midtown Plaza, the celebrated symbol of the pride of Babylon, the city's novel center of public commerce with its "fabled timepiece" stood 18 stories proud, signaling with a 6+6+6 where honor was to be given.

That all was not right with the place is pretty clear to me now, being better able to interpret the cryptic symbols and grasp their real meaning. Until recently, however, it was for me like many others, who couldn't really put their finger on what it was about the place that was unsettling.

Lacking features that made it stand out in the skyline, the mall had something else to offer the gods of the region and those who blindly worship them. The "Clock of Nations" in the plaza's ground floor atrium was the featured attraction, but there was also a fountain nearby, into which shoppers and passers by would toss the occasional coin, and a monorail train that circulated inside the atrium, a kiddie ride.

As a young boy I remember feeling awe as I would consider just how many coins could be seen in the fountain pool. While I don't recall putting any stock in the wishing part, I do remember feeling compelled to ask my Mom for a coin and pitch it in. Here, like as with the airport's Nephilim "gene pool", the coins tossed into the water are actually sacrifices and prayers offered to the gods in the water. From the spiritual perspective, the fountain was designed and built at Midtown for the sake of ritual magick, for the enchantments of divine fertility as the favors of the resident phallic god of commerce were traded. Recruitment for the coming Beast and his mark is the operative influence of every such fountain or pool.



Another featured attraction at Midtown was a monorail train, a children's ride. At some point, the train's decorative theme became recognizably magical, featuring celestial objects like you might expect on a Merlinesque Disney ride. While the clock and fountain didn't appear overtly occult or magical, when they applied the theme pictured here to the monorail it was less hidden. I don't know when it was that the celestial theme was applied, but in 1977, the time had come for Midtown Plaza to experience a pagan temple reveal!

A 26 foot totem pole was carved on-site by "First Nations" artists, commissioned to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Midtown Plaza. This pagan idol is a goddess (Nephilim), on top of which is a male Nephilim, on top of which is an owl, a watcher.

Excerpting an interview of one of the artists, "Of the totem poles that lie at the heart of Northwest Coast art, Harris has said, "They are our deeds to the land. They serve as witnesses to the encounter of our ancestors with the supernatural beings who control all the fish, animals and plants in our world. They are our charter of rights from time immemorial." The totem poles that stood like sentinels at the centre of each Gitxsan village carried images of the encounters of the ancestors with the powerful spirits of the land. Figures of humans and animals were carved into the living trees as boundary markers." (Totem Pole by Walter Harris & Art Sterrit)

Hmmmmm. Right. Is it just me, or does this all seem rather familiar?

The totem pole at Midtown Plaza was established at the boundary that is the city center crossroads of commerce as a marker and a sentinel. It was everything the chief said it was.

The Nephilim idol was placed at this major crossroads with the clock, a fountain and vehicles that appear to travel through the heavens. Now, think in terms of the provision of continuity for ritual magick. Midtown Plaza was shut down in 2008, decommissioned, but these same elements now appear at another boundary where commerce and dining are featured and crowds of people pass through - at the Greater Rochester International Airport! The "Clock of Nations" provides for physical continuity from one place to the next. Midtown's fountain and totem pole elements have been combined in "The Council" pool. The elevated monorail cars with their "celestial object" decor have been replaced by small aircraft. The magick continues!


More insight into Rochester, NY's Midtown Plaza totem pole can be gleaned from the following excerpt.

"The twenty-six foot tall hand-carved totem pole is located at Midtown Plaza in Downtown Rochester, and was originally commissioned in the late 1970s to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Midtown Plaza’s opening. Walter Harris and Art Sterrit, two native North American craftsmen of the Gitksan tribe from ‘Ksan in British Columbia, carved the totem pole. It was raised at a public ceremony in April 1977, and has since become a Rochester landmark. The totem pole will be removed from its current location and installed at the Seneca Park Zoo by County Parks Department staff before the demolition of Midtown Plaza. “The Midtown Plaza totem pole is a cherished piece of our community’s history,” said County Executive Maggie Brooks. “Not only was the totem pole created to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of Midtown Plaza, but its symbols and subject matter relate to Rochester’s history as well. The County is grateful for this generous donation from Midtown Rochester Properties because by permanently displaying the artwork at the Seneca Park Zoo, Monroe County residents and visitors to our area will be able to enjoy the totem pole and learn from it for years to come.”" (County to Display Midtown Totem Pole at Zoo)

Maggie expressed her insight that, "its symbols and subject matter relate to Rochester’s history as well." Was she referring to the history marked from when idol was erected with a subsequent curse of idolatry, or could she have been referring to a curse that was already well established in the land, whose demonic agencies influenced the commission, design and making of the idol? I can't say, but I can say that referring to it as "a cherished piece of our community’s history," was not - most definitely not acknowledging a good thing!

Diverse witnesses testify that the ancient gods hold sway over Rochester, NY. For our protection, our Creator commands us (Exodus 20) not to make graven images, but rebellious disobedience has brought us into bondage. Midtown Plaza and its featured objects, especially the "Clock of Nations" now relocated to the airport, have to be considered for their roles in bringing the area's residents and visiters under the spells of antichrist delusion. Such objects leverage the knowledge and wisdom of the fallen ancients to bend the backs of their prey in service to those whose dominion has been invited and legally established by the acceptance of their magickal devices.

The idols exalted over and embedded into the "art" and architecture of the city express visually the greater spiritual reality. The occultist's operative Hermetic Maxim expressed as "As above, so below" is a form of expression of a profound truth declared in the Bible, that the sovereign God made the natural to bear witness to the greater supernatural. (Romans 1:20 YLT - "for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead...")


18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:18-25

Part 14 - Rochester, NY - Midtown Plaza - the heart of the city

The Rochester, NY landmark "Clock of Nations" sits at the airport in the context of some highly symbolic and supernaturally potent occult objects. Because it's situation is supposed to be temporary one might argue that it doesn't really belong there, but it does. When you consider what's being presented in the next few posts I think you'll agree. Beyond the 2012 signaling discussed in part 13, researching this timepiece turns up some interesting findings (and one that's really bizarre) that suggests it funtions as a legacy portal, working spells of witchcraft in conjunction with those of the Nephilim gateway portal, and, of course, the High Falls gateway portal.

I mentioned in an earlier post that this clock is a landmark timepiece that's been relocated here from its former home in the very heart of Rochester. I remember watching the "Clock of the Nations" at Midtown Plaza as a boy. It seemed curious and creepy. It features animated marionettes, which I always find creepy. Plus, I was a small town boy on a rare trip to the big city, which of itself was always rather intimidating and creepy. It's that former home, Midtown Plaza, that is the real focus of this post so the meaningful context is known.

I discovered an excellent resource to present here that will provide a vivid witness - a vintage promotional movie. Before you watch it I want to prepare you. In this series I've presented Rochester, NY as a model Babylon, the second largest economy in the Empire State with indications of supernatural ties to the first, and as a city ruled over by Hermes, the god of commerce who mazes the eyes with his magick wand. I recommend being caught up on reading this series and also taking a moment to read Revelation 17 and 18 at least once before you watch the video. (For "extra credit," spend a few hours/months considering Revelation 17 & 18 - An interactive presentation of its thematic structure, one of my pet projects. )

One last thing. If you have fond memories of the clock, continuing here will probably ruin it for you. If you think I'm going to apologize for that, no, there will be no apology for interrupting spells of enchantment. Being grounded in reality and discipled by the Truth who sets us free indeed is always best!

In some contexts, the embedded video below might not appear. You can always use this link Midtown Plaza Mall (1963) to launch it on YouTube.

There it is! Rochester, NY and its featured Midtown Plaza with its featured "Clock of Nations" - the pride of Babylon! I've dedicated a few posts already to the Rochester-as-Babylon theme, and the Jam Handy production really gives that some emphasis. I'm still shaking my head. Wow. Did you notice how the presentation featured the "Clock of Nations" as its centerpiece?

This wasn't hidden away as Rochester's little secret. The launch of this model marketplace with its "fabled timepiece" was news on the national and even international level. The following excerpt from the current Wikipedia entry suggests how important this particular marketplace was in the advancement of the great city Babylon.

"Designed by Victor Gruen, Midtown Plaza was dedicated on April 10, 1962 as the first downtown indoor mall in the United States. The first enclosed shopping center had been Southdale Center in suburban Minneapolis in 1956, also designed by Gruen. The idea for this mall started with discussions between Gilbert J.C. McCurdy, owner of the McCurdy's department stores and Maurice F. Forman, owner of the B. Forman Co. department stores. At that time strip plazas were growing in popularity. Though both owners had opened branch stores they were concerned about Downtown Rochester's viability and came up with the idea of an indoor shopping center. Gruen was at the height of his influence when Midtown was completed and the project attracted international attention, including a nationally televised feature report on NBC-TV's Huntley-Brinkley newscast the night of its opening in April 1962. City officials and planners from around the globe came to see Gruen's solution to the mid-century urban crisis. Midtown won several design awards." (Midtown Plaza (Rochester) Wikipedia)

It's not just commerce itself but commerce in the city center as the focus of popular attention that's being highlighted here. In the promotional movie, the Wikipedia page and other articles and blogs, we're drawn in by the language and tone without pause to consider whether or not a "solution to the mid-century urban crisis" should have been desired. If folks want to leave a city to shop or eat or work or play, is that really a bad thing? Who is so concerned about keeping people and their commerce in the heart of the city, and why?

I submit to you that Satan cares about keeping people in the city. He herds men together in cities to rebel against the true and living God. His monuments and high places and seats of power are generally found in the dense population centers. The main Mystery Babylon identity is that of a great merchant city filled with music, industry and enchantments.


21) And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22) And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23) And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; 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.
Revelation 18:21-23


Satan has legal domains of authority in the earth, with places like Rochester, NY staffed by high ranking authorities. He has magical inducements and portals established in key locations exerting powerful controlling influence. He's not stupid. Have you seen what you've been looking at in these posts? He leverages his investments in densely populated and well traveled areas. He camps at the crossroads of commerce to entice, ensnare and enslave.

The first occurance of the word "city" in the Bible is found in Genesis chapter 4.


16) And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17) And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Genesis 4:16-17


Cain, conceived in the Garden of Eden of the serpent tree, slew Adam's first-born Abel. Then, he was marked by God and, departing from His presence, built the first city. How likely is it that the result of his effort was a good thing? Check the further biblical record. The next occurrence is found in chapter 10.


8) And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9) He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10) And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11) Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12) And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
Genesis 10:8-12


Do you understand about Nimrod? He began to be a "mighty one", a "gibbowr" in the earth. This is the same word translated "mighty" in verse 9 and "mighty men" in Genesis 6:4.


4) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5) And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Genesis 6:4-5


When the true God does a city (ie. the New Jerusalem) that's going to be very good. Until then, merchant cities are going to make merchandise of men. The serpent tree agenda motivates those who concern themselves with such as a "solution to the mid-century urban crisis." Recognize the sales pitch of the hawkers who are really after your soul. Don't buy in to their scheme! The urban centers of commerce are the control centers for the great city Babylon. If this offends you, it must be said that the work of taking people out of Babylon is secondary to the work of taking Babylon out of people. Every knee shall bow..., so let's just do it now.

When you watched the promotional movie from 1963, did you make note of the sponsor? "Sponsored by ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC CORPORATION As a Public Service to the Community" There's a parable here in that the promotion of the great city Babylon is sponsored by a utility, a power company. It is a power merchant. RG&E supplies power to the city like the blood stream supplies life to the cells of the body. In severe winter weather, this utility literally controls the city, having the power of life over its dependent residents. Some of you know there is more to the public utility concern than meets the eye.

While putting this post together I came across this image of the Midtown Plaza sign. It says a lot. "OWN" "Come in and get OWNED!" I found the image on "The Moderate Urban Champion" page A Treatise on Midtown Plaza. When I selected some text I unwittingly triggered his secret hidden commerce mechanism, popping up this Babylon 8 page. Cha-ching! (The sound of the cash register as funds are literally transferred from Babylon to his account as a reward for the deceptive delivery of the targeted inducement to buy in to Babylon.) Hmmmmm. Is there a message here somewhere?

What's that? The clock? Oh, yeah - getting to that. Lord willing.
