Ezekiel
41:18 And it (the panelling of the holy place of the temple) was made with
cherubs...and two faces were to a cherub, the face
of a man, toward the palm tree from here, and a young lion's
face toward the palm tree from there. It was made to all the house
round and round...on the wall of the temple.
According to Biblical prophecy, all
end time events begin with the signing of a treaty. To the world this treaty
may seem insignificant. This "covenant" will reinstitute sacrifice
on the temple mount in Jerusalem. Previous pages have dealt with the signs
that we are now in the "end times"...the treaty of Daniel's 70th
Week is likely to be signed soon, typology of Israel's feast days and Biblical
allusions point to the "times and seasons" that the tribulation
might transpire, and Satan knows he will soon be judged and has been planning
to escape judgment since the beginning.
SATAN'S PLAN TO ESCAPE JUDGMENT
Revelation 12:7 And there was a battle
in heaven,
Michael and his angels battled with the dragon.
And (the dragon) did not prevail,
neither was his place found any more in heaven.
And that great dragon was cast down, the ancient serpent,
he who is called the devil and Satan,
who leads astray the whole world,
and he was cast down to the earth
and with him his angels were cast
down.
Satan and his angels will continue to be allowed access to the heights surrounding earth, even being allowed an audience before God, where Satan accuses the redeemed, Rev 12:7...that is, until the midpoint of the tribulation. At the midpoint Satan and his rebel angels are "cast down to the earth , a place no longer found for them in heaven". At that time the devil and his powers of the air will be forced to remain on the earth to be judged by almighty God. While Satan is still able to navigate the heavenly regions, and even "walk to and fro IN the earth (Job)", he is setting up the world to accept the fallen angels as "aliens", or interdimensional beings of some sort.
If Satan's goals could be summed up and prioritized, they would appear this way:
#1 Stop the redemption of man by preventing the atonement of Jesus on the cross. #2 (since #1 has failed), prevent human kind from ever hearing or understanding the gospel . #3 Prevent at all cost, the resurrection of the dead. #4 Since the gathering together of all the rebel angels and their imprisonment on earth for judgment is declared by God, great preparations must be made to utilize this event for the continuation of deception. #5 Prevent the eventual reign of God in human form on the earth. Satan knows his future, his angels must prepare the world for their impending arrival. The main focus of their preparation is to create an open and welcome environment for their immanent return in the future as the "gods". Paul writes concerning the Antichrist's coming, 2 Thess. 2:9 :
MYTH AND GOD'S MESSAGE IN THE STARS
Satan has taken all the major references, all typology,
and prophecy regarding the first and second comings of Jesus Christ and
twisted the information to fit the endtime "working of error".
There is a body of non-biblical prophecy that has been disseminated throughout
the world via folklore, myth, media and popular culture.
Myths can be viewed as foreshadowing the facts of
Scripture, or as corruptions of them. This view, which is not contemporarily
popular, is surprisingly enlightening when attention is focused on meaning
of names, characters and places of Classical myth in relation to Biblical
stories.
The most relevant and necessary tool for discernment
of theological interpretation of myth is a foundation of understanding
concerning the origins and meaning of the celestial zodiac.
Most Christians recoil at the thought of delving into
the profane practice of Astrology even if merely studying it from a comparative
distance. The Bible is clear about God's condemnation of the practice of
Astrology . However, one needs to keep in mind the modus operandi of the
Enemy. Satan focuses his lies and distortions in the most effective places.
These places are without exception, where God's truth is revealed. Since
the most effective and believable lie is one sandwiched between two truths,
so it is with the zodiac.
The pictures found today in the zodiac were not developed
by the Greeks, but were in place perhaps as early as 4000 B.C. predating
even the civilizations of Sumeria . These pictures were not merely arranged in
haphazard order to aid in the tracking of the star movements, but with the
purpose of depicting an epic narrative.
This understanding of the zodiac reveals an intelligence
and prophetic understanding that was corrupted through time by the "the
opposer". The zodiac was never intended to be monitored to reveal
destiny, with the stars in control of men's lives, rather it was established
as a pictorial story of God's plan of salvation on earth. God is in control
of the stars and men. The key to understanding the celestial zodiac, surprisingly,
is found in the enigmatic figure of the ancient sphinx.
Sphinx were usually placed at entrances to palaces
or temples of antiquity. This positioning implied power, authority and
protection. The bodily form the sphinx is always a combination of at least
two of four animals, a lion, bull or eagle with the head of a human. The
combination of all four creatures in one constitutes what is called in
Hebrew, a kerubim or cherub. The word kerubim means "one who
prays", or "one who intercedes."
The Bible also defines cherubim as a type or order
of angel. Sphinx are an aggregate of at least two of four creatures, always
the same four, which represent what the Bible calls a cherubim, a type
of angel.
Contrary to modern astrology , the true
meaning of the celestial zodiac and the symbols of the ecliptic, the course
the sun appears to travel the heavens, have been lost to the majority of
mankind. However it's purpose can be understood if one connects the sequence
of pictures in story form.
But where to begin? What point in the circle of heaven is its beginning?
its ending?
Sphinx in Greek means to "connect or bind together".
A sphinx combines the head of a woman and the body of a lion. This fixes
the bench mark for the beginning and ending of the celestial narrative,
beginning with Virgo and ending with Leo.
What about the four creatures of a cherub?
Look to the four brightest stars in the zodiac;
All four of these stars are arranged three signs apart,
in the four corners of the heavens. When the zodiac was arranged these
stars appeared on the horizon corresponding to the spring and fall equinoxes
and the summer and winter solstices. These four stars rose before the sun
in the east in sequence with the four seasons. Since the precession of the equinoxes completes its cycle in 14,000 years, the earth's position relative to these stars
has changed and they no longer
mark the seasons.
The constellations rarely if ever imply the shapes
found in the zodiac, yet the sequence and the types have remained consistent
from greatest antiquity to this day. The answer to the mystery behind the
zodiac and its apparent narrative can be found in the ancient symbols
themselves, their relation to each other and their correspondence to prophecy
in the Bible.
The Greek myth Oedipus Rex contains symbols of relevance
to corrupted truth. When Oedipus encountered the Greek sphinx, he was asked
a riddle. "What speaks with one voice, yet in the morning walks on
four legs, walks at noon on two legs and in the evening walks on three
legs?" Oedipus was the only man to answer correctly. The answer was
"man". Upon hearing her riddle solved the sphinx screamed in
rage, threw herself to the rocks below her lofty perch and died. Such a
simple answer to this enigmatic question leaves one to ponder its significance.What
more can be gleaned from the content of the story?
The sphinx as it has been stated was actually a symbolic
depiction of an angel. This angel was not, however, anything like the dutiful
messengers of God described in scripture but a horrible monster bent on
the destruction of any man it came in contact with.
At this point it will be helpful to understand some
basic principles of the meaning of numbers in scripture. With insite into
the symbolic meaning that numbers posses as they occur in the Bible one
will understand the full meaning of the "riddle of the sphinx"
The study of the meaning of numbers in scripture is called Biblical Numerics
or Biblical Numerology. This study is intrinsic to theology and history
of the Bible because of the language it was written in, Hebrew and
Greek. These two languages share the aspect of using letters for words
and also a system for counting. The spiritual meaning for numbers that
continuosly show up in scripture, intentionally put there by God, can be
discerned. The following list is a brief description of the symbolic meaning
of primary numbers.
Returning to Oedipus Rex and the story of the sphinx,
we find the symbolic types much more clear. Oedipus, whose name literally
means wounded in the foot, was on his way to Thebes, the city
of light. The king of Thebes had proclaimed that he would give the
kingdom and the hand of his daughter in marriage, to anyone who destroyed
the sphinx .
The sphinx, a symbolic angel, asked the question, "What
speaks with one voice, yet walks on four feet in the morning, two feet
at noon and three feet in the evening?" The question, decoded, should
read like this, "What creature, spoken into creation by God,(1) walked
before God in perfection at the beginning,(4) fell from grace and was divided
from God,(2) and will be redeemed and made perfect by God,(3)? The answer
was man, but the real question couched ingeniously in the riddle was this,
who will redeem man, what is his name?
The earliest prophecy in the Bible concerning the redemption
of fallen man is in Gen. "I will put enmity between you and the serpent. You will strike at his heel, and he will crush your head, ergo,"wounded
in the foot". If the numbers of the riddle are added together 1, 4,
2, and 3, the sum is 10, the number of perfection of order. If the numbers
pertaining to walking on the earth before God are added together, the sum
is 9, the number of judgment..
Clearly the story of the sphinx was inspired from a
source of even greater antiquity. We need only open our Bibles to find
out what that inspiration was.
Isn't it just a little
bit strange that UFOs and "aliens" would single out Israel, of all places on the
Earth? Look at Israel on the map. It is a tiny nation... yet the paranormal manifests
as much within Israel's borders as within the whole of Russia. This is not surprising
if one knows who is the authority behind UFOs. Nor is it surprising that Christians are being
categorized by popular culture as narrow-minded fanatics unworthy to take place in
the Planetary Transformation...the evolutionary leap know as the Paradigm Shift. Please view our website for the truth behind the "alien" deception, and the END OF THE AGE.
