Malcolm: I seem to remember posting along these lines in MSN, but so long ago, it will be new to our latest members and visitors.
From "Solomon, Falcon of Sheba" by Ralph Ellis, beginning on page 126:
"While it would appear that the mother of Jesus was following in these ancient Egyptian traditions, there is another section of the New Testament evidence that again points towards Egypt....
....Mary Magdalene has been given some bad press in the Bible, and this was probably due to a strong priestly desire to distance her from Jesus - it was too embarassing to admit that she was Jesus' wife, let alone contemplate the possibility that she was his sister too. But some of this bad press may actually have been derived from a subtle and deliberate mistranslation of a particular verse in the gospel of Luke:
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils. Luke 8:2
But this is not the only possible translation of this vers; it could also be taken to read:
And a certain woman who had worshipped blinding (strong) winds, Mary, named (after the) Seven Tower out of which went god (winds).
The word for 'healed' (theraputae) can mean 'worshipped' and the term for 'evil spirits' (ponerous pneuma) could easily become 'blinding winds'. The reason for Mary, in her guise as a much later 'Queen of Sheba', being associated with whirlwinds (the jinn of the Koran) will be given later. The term for 'devils' (daemons) can be a reference to 'god' or even the jinn whirlwinds once more - in fact, the latter are still called dust-devils to this day.
More important, however, is the fact that Mary Magdalene can be seen as being associated with both a tower and the number seven. The name Magdalene can be literally translated from the Greek as meaning 'tower' and, as we have already seen, this association between the terms 'tower' and 'seven' is present in a famous Biblical quotation:
Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against they rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the Tower of Seven even unto the border of Ethiopia. Ezekiel 29:10
Just to review the explanations from chapter III, both of these words have been directly transliterated out of the original Egyptian: the Magdalene 'tower' has been taken from the Egyptian word maktal or magdjal (glyphs) meaning 'tower', while the number seven has been derived from the Egyptian word sefekh (glyphs) meaning 'seven'.
So, Ezekiel's 'Tower of Seven' is none other than the Egyptian 'Magdal of Sefekh', the same title that is now being associated with Mary Magdalene. The Tower of Sefekh was historically seen to be a prime symbol of Egypt and because of this notoriety it has already been identified with the Great Pyramid (the Great Tower) of Egypt. The number seven is also translatable as Sheba, as this is one of the prime Hebrew meanings for this word.
Malcolm: To understand where 'Seven' comes from, we need to go back to page 57 of Ellis's book:
"If the great entrance door to the Great Pyramid was unbolted and opened on the seventh day, and if the door itself was considered to be the 'Great Door of Heaven' - the divine portal that led into the nether world of the Djuat, the land of the gods and the dead - then it is axiomatic that sefekh, the Egyptian term for unbolting a door and the number seven, would have become intimately associated with the Egyptian word seba, meaning the Great Door of Heaven. The Seba (glyphs) would have been s-sefekh (glyphs) (unbolted) on the Sefekh (glyphs) (seventh or Shabbeth) day. This is indeed what is found, and in the translation from the Egyptian into Hebrew, the word for the number 'seven' became associated more with seba than with sefekh - hence the word for 'seven' in Hebrew is seba, not sefekh.
But the original use of the word sefekh (glyphs) , as a term for unbolting the Great Door, was not entirely lost even within the Hebrew language; and I can confidently assert this because the association of this word with the Great Pyramid was retained in the Biblical book of Ezekiel:
Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against they rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border with Ethiopia. Ezekiel 29:10.
By the era of Ezekiel, the Israelites had been away from Egypt for hundreds of years, and their former homeland had now become the scapegoat for each and every misfortune that the Israelites encountered. This verse is one of many oaths against the newly despised land of Egypt.
It may not be immediately apparent what the quote is trying to say, because some daft translator has interpreted the 'tower' as being called Syene. The Gideon Bible has taken this obfuscation one step further by saying that the land was laid waste 'from Migdol to Aswan'! What a tangled web we weave....
The truth of the matter is that the Gideon Bible's city of 'Migdol' was not a town but a 'tower', just as the King James Bible correctly translates - migdol (Hebrew letters) means tower in Hebrew. The problem with the King James' version of this verse is that the word Syene is very badly transliterated into the English. The usual Hebrew pronunciation for this word is actually 'Seven' (Hebrew letters) or 'Sheven' (Hebrew letters). (Note the mixing of the 's' and 'sh' consonants once more.)
The tower in question is, of course, not really the 'Tower of Seven'; it is more correctly translated as the 'Tower of Sefekh' - but the verse is using he Hebrew version of this word, which is 'Seven'. As I mentioned previously, the Hebrew letter 'kh' (Hebrew letter) has simply become confused with and exchanged for the similar-lookiing letter 'n' (Hebrew letter).
This, however, does not fully explain this verse n the book of Ezekiel. We have still not deciphered which 'tower' in Egypt would have been closely associated with the word sefekh, meaning to unbolt a door, and which 'tower' would also be closely identified with the number seven. The answer is not only obvious, but also inescapable - the 'tower' to which Ezekiel was referring was a 'tower' that apparently defined the whold character of the land of Egypt.
It was a shibboleth, or symbol, that every enlightened reader was immediately supposed to understand to be a reference to Egypt, and so it is axiomatic that this 'tower' was none other than the Great Pyramid of Giza itself. In reality, Ezekiel was trying to say:
Behold, therefore I am against Egypt, and against Egypt's rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate from the Great Pyramid even unto the border of Ethiopia.
If the term sefekh referred to the Great Pyramid and if, in turn, the term seba was related to the doorway of the Great Pyramid - which is still the largest building on the planet - then the terms sefekh and Seba would have been as Egyptian as apple pie is American. In this case, the name Seba (Sheba) would have been a positive reference to the land of Lower Egypt and likewise, the Queen of Sheba is likely to have been a queen or princess of Egypt."
Malcolm: She was. She was Queen ETIYE - named in the Kebra Nagast as Eteye Azeb - who was the favourite wife and queen of King Solomon/YmnHtp III.
Ezequiel
29:1 En el año décimo, en el mes décimo, a los doce días del mes, vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
29:2 Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro contra Faraón rey de Egipto, y profetiza contra él y contra todo Egipto.
29:3 Habla, y di: Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: He aquí yo estoy contra ti, Faraón rey de Egipto, el gran dragón que yace en medio de sus ríos, el cual dijo: Mío es el Nilo, pues yo lo hice.
29:4 Yo, pues, pondré garfios en tus quijadas, y pegaré los peces de tus ríos a tus escamas, y te sacaré de en medio de tus ríos, y todos los peces de tus ríos saldrán pegados a tus escamas.
29:5 Y te dejaré en el desierto a ti y a todos los peces de tus ríos; sobre la faz del campo caerás; no serás recogido, ni serás juntado; a las fieras de la tierra y a las aves del cielo te he dado por comida.
29:6 Y sabrán todos los moradores de Egipto que yo soy Jehová, por cuanto fueron báculo de caña a la casa de Israel.
29:7 Cuando te tomaron con la mano, te quebraste, y les rompiste todo el hombro; y cuando se apoyaron en ti, te quebraste, y les rompiste sus lomos enteramente.
29:8 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: He aquí que yo traigo contra ti espada, y cortaré de ti hombres y bestias.
29:9 Y la tierra de Egipto será asolada y desierta, y sabrán que yo soy Jehová; por cuanto dijo: El Nilo es mío, y yo lo hice.
29:10 Por tanto, he aquí yo estoy contra ti, y contra tus ríos; y pondré la tierra de Egipto en desolación, en la soledad del desierto, desde Migdol hasta Sevene, hasta el límite de Etiopía.
29:11 No pasará por ella pie de hombre, ni pie de animal pasará por ella, ni será habitada, por cuarenta años.
29:12 Y pondré a la tierra de Egipto en soledad entre las tierras asoladas, y sus ciudades entre las ciudades destruidas estarán desoladas por cuarenta años; y esparciré a Egipto entre las naciones, y lo dispersaré por las tierras.
29:13 Porque así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Al fin de cuarenta años recogeré a Egipto de entre los pueblos entre los cuales fueren esparcidos;
29:14 y volveré a traer los cautivos de Egipto, y los llevaré a la tierra de Patros, a la tierra de su origen; y allí serán un reino despreciable.
29:15 En comparación con los otros reinos será humilde; nunca más se alzará sobre las naciones; porque yo los disminuiré, para que no vuelvan a tener dominio sobre las naciones.
29:16 Y no será ya más para la casa de Israel apoyo de confianza, que les haga recordar el pecado de mirar en pos de ellos; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová el Señor.
29:17 Aconteció en el año veintisiete en el mes primero, el día primero del mes, que vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
29:18 Hijo de hombre, Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia hizo a su ejército prestar un arduo servicio contra Tiro. Toda cabeza ha quedado calva, y toda espalda desollada; y ni para él ni para su ejército hubo paga de Tiro, por el servicio que prestó contra ella.
29:19 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor; He aquí que yo doy a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, la tierra de Egipto; y él tomará sus riquezas, y recogerá sus despojos, y arrebatará botín, y habrá paga para su ejército.
29:20 Por su trabajo con que sirvió contra ella le he dado la tierra de Egipto; porque trabajaron para mí, dice Jehová el Señor.
29:21 En aquel tiempo haré retoñar el poder de la casa de Israel. Y abriré tu boca en medio de ellos, y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.

It is possible that they made their way to England by way of the Norman, Angevin and Aquitaine nobles who became the patrons of ecclesiastical art , or by the many exchanges of bishops and monks within Christendom. Roman architecture sometimes features ornate leaf masks, which are usually taken as showing the close interdependence between man and nature, and as describing the deities of Pan, Bacchus, Dionysus or Silvanus, and the mystery religions that grew up around them. A leaf-clad statue of Dionysus in Naples, Italy, dating back to about 420 BCE, is often considered one of the first Green Men images. http://www.greenmanenigma.com/history.htmlEarly medieval Christianity adopted much of the symbolism of the Dionysian rites and mystery religions, and many of its architectural techniques were borrowed from Roman and Byzantine models. At the same time, another parallel influence in Western Europe was the Celtic “cult of the head” (the particular reverence the Celts had for portrayals of the human head, based on the belief that the head is the repository of the soul), and also the Celtic veneration of sacred trees. For example, many of the Green Man images that began to appear in the intricately illustrated Christian manuscripts of Ireland, such as the 8th Century “Book of Kells”, exhibit direct influences from Roman and Egyptian art, and some of these styles spread rapidly from there to much of the rest of Western Europe. the god of Nature never really died out

Mary Called Magdalene
Interest in the Mary "called Magdalene" in the canonical Christian Gospels of the Greek New Testament has blossomed in the last decades. Who was this Mary, this "other Mary" who was so devoted to Jesus that her presence is reported in all four Gospels at the cross and at the tomb. Who was she, and why was she called "the Magdalene" (h Magdalhnh in Greek). This distinctive epithet of Mary Magdalene is found in all four of the canonical Gospels and in the Gnostic Gospel of Philip discovered at Nag Hammadi in 1945.
Until recently the traditional reply asserts that this "other Mary" was a prostitute from Magdala, a small fishing town located on the western shore to the Sea of Galilee, a town that the Hebrew Talmud says was "destroyed for prostitution." It seems incredible that the most beloved and loyal disciple of Jesus should be said to be from a town with a reputation for loose morals! I would like to discuss here the actual source of Mary Magdalene's extraordinary epithet.
The Aramaic word Magdala means "tower" or "fortress." In Hebrew, the word is spelled mgdl and migdol. The title "Magdalene" implies greatness, exaltation, elevation, and pre-eminence. And in fact, on seven of the eight lists in the New Testament that mention women who followed Jesus, Mary "the Magdalene" is mentioned first. In Matthew 28 we read that on the morning after the Sabbath Mary Magdalene and the "other Mary" went to see the sepulcher. Who is "First Lady" here? Clearly it is Mary Magdalene who has pre-eminence in the early community whose stories are recorded in the Gospels.
For several historical reasons, I do not believe that Mary was from the town of Magdala. In the period of Greek and Roman hegemony in Galilee, the town now known as "Magdala" was called "Taricheae," a Greek name meaning "place of dried fish." According to Josephus, writing in his books about Jewish history, the town was strongly influenced by Hellenistic culture and mores and even sported a hippodrome for chariot races during Biblical times, until its total destruction by the Romans in AD 67. A new town was later built over the ruins of Taricheae, and was called "Magdala Nunnayah," a name mean "Tower of the Fishes" in Aramaic. But during the lifetime of the woman named Mary who anointed Jesus at a banquet and Bethany and later met him resurrected in the Garden on Easter morning, the town was called Taricheae. This is attested in numerous Roman and Jewish records, including several mentions in Josephus.
It appears probable that in trying to discover the source of Mary's distinctive epithet, enthusiastic converts went looking for a town for Mary to have been born in. Not realizing the first century history of the town of Magdala Nunnayah, they decided that she must have come from this town in Galilee which was destroyed for "prostitution." In Jewish tradition, "prostitution" was often ascribed to communities that worshipped foreign gods and was synonymous with "idolatry." But Greek and Latin speaking converts would not have understood that the town they knew as "Magdala" had a history of adopting Hellenistic mores during the period of Greek hegemony over the region, beginning in about 300 BC, prompting the Jews to attribute "prostitution" to the town's reputation prior to its destruction.
Adding to the confusion of the meaning of Magdalene's title is the conflation of Mary Magdalene with the Mary who anointed Jesus at the banquet at the house of Simon in Bethany, just a few days before the Crucifixion. All four Gospels of the New Testament tell the story of the anointing of Jesus by a woman, a literal re-enactment of nuptial rites of ancient pagan fertility cults of "Sacred Marriage" celebrated throughout the Mediterranean Basin. Only Luke transplants this story from Bethany, located on the prophetically significant Mount of Olives, to an unnamed town in Galilee, calling the woman who anointed Jesus "a sinner from the town." Luke does not use the word for prostitute in his indictment of the woman, but her loose hair, with which she dries her tears from his feet, implied that her sin was one of loose behavior. Ignoring the testimony of the other three Gospels, the Church has allowed Mary Magdalene to be slandered as a prostitute for nearly two millennia, thereby stealing her power and silencing her voice. In 1969 the Roman Catholic calendar of Saints' feast days was revised, separating Mary of Bethany from Mary "Magdalene"--thereby splitting the role of the anointing woman in two.
It is my personal conviction that the woman who anointed Jesus at the banquet at Bethany and "wiped his feet with her hair"--Mary of Bethany in John 12--was the same woman who went to anoint his corpse on Easter morning and met him resurrected--Mary Magdalene in John 20. In ancient mythologies of the hieros gamos, it is the Bride who anoints the Bridegroom King, and it is again the Bride who meets him three days later resurrected in the garden. A similar archetypal story celebrating the eternal return of the Life Force is ubiquitous throughout the Middle East in the cults of Inanna, Ishtar, Isis, Aphrodite, Cybele. In the Gospels, Jesus and Mary Magdalene incarnate this "never-ending story" on the physical/historical plane.
Ignoring for a moment the syncretism of these pagan cults, I suggest we look to the Hebrew Bible for the source of Mary Magdalene's distinctive honorific. In about 700 BC, the Hebrew prophet Micah recorded an amazing prophecy for the "Magdal-eder" (Micah 4:8-11).
The Hebrew word Magdal-eder literally means "Tower of the Flock" and refers to a hill near Bethlehem often used as a vantage point by shepherds to survey the surrounding fields. In this prophecy of Micah, the "Magdal-eder" is equated with the Daughter of Sion, the people of Israel, personified as "Jerusalem." This prophecy sums up the fate of Mary Magdalene in four short lines and was, I am convinced, the passage that inspired the person who coined her epithet.
"And you, O Magdal-eder ("Watchtower of the Flock")
Stronghold of the Daughter of Sion,
Unto you shall the former dominion be restored,
the kingdom of Daughter Jerusalem.
Now why do you cry?
Have you no king? Has your counselor perished,
that you cry aloud like a woman in labor?....
For now you shall go out and dwell in the open fields.
To Babylon shall you go,
and from there you shall be rescued....
Now also many nations are gathered against you.
They defile you (call you "unclean").
This prophecy of the "Magdal-eder" provides the image of a woman, the personification of the nation of Israel, crying over her deceased king and counselor (rabbi, teacher), and then sent, defiled and defamed, into foreign exile, eventually to be rescued. Perhaps that time is now! The scenario is repeated in John's Gospel, chapter 20, when Mary is crying at the tomb and Jesus asks her, "Woman, why are you crying." The Greek word gune can mean either "woman" or "wife." Was Jesus actually addressing his WIFE in this familiar passage? When she finally recognizes him, Mary calls him "Rabboni"--a term that expresses greater intimacy and tenderness than the traditional "Rabbi," and then she embraces him. Saint Jerome's translation of the Greek sentence, "Do not touch me," does not convey the true meaning of the the original text. It actually says something closer to, "Do not keep clinging to me" or "embracing me." The Greek word haptou can mean anything from barely touching someone to having sexual relations. Why could Jerome not have chosen a Latin verb that would have conveyed the greater intimacy implied by the Greek. Instead, we've received a tradition of an untouchable "phantom" Jesus rather than that of Jesus who was a husband and lover.
One further argument supports Mary Magdalene as Bride of the Archetypal Bridegroom. In Hebrew and in Greek, each alphabet letter has a numeric value. In coining the Greek phrase "H Magdalhnh," the architects of the New Testament gave this "other Mary" a title whose numeric value (153) reflects powerful associations with the Feminine principle and the Goddesses of the ancient world. The subject of symbolic numbers encoded by gematria into the Christian Gospels is discussed at length in my 2003 book Magdalene's Lost Legacy. Magdalene's sacred number 153 is associated with the vesica piscis -- () or yoni--a symbol universally associated with the Feminine. Ancient Greeks called the vesica piscis the "matrix," the "doorway to life," the "bridal chamber" and even the "Holy of Holies." There is no mistaking the sexual associations of this shape and its feminine nature, deliberately coined into the significant epithet of the Mary called "the Magdalene."
How can we fail to recognize the Lost Bride of the Christian revelation, crying over her deceased Bridegroom and sent, defiled and defamed, into foreign exile? How can we fail to do all in our power to reclaim her true story? Justice and chivalry require that we honor this woman in the role to which the canonical Gospels themselves attest--as the beloved Queen of the messianic King of Israel.

On July 4 (the 'torch' day), Greece's national soccer team won the European Championship in a historic upset.
-
The Tour de France (another major sporting event) began on July 4. (The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France.) As per tradition the race ended in Paris, the city of Isis-Venus ('Par-Isis'). Paris as a character in Greek mythology is analogous to a torch.
-
On July 4 the cornerstone of 'Freedom Tower' was laid at Ground Zero, the site of the WTC towers. 1) The new tower is designed to reflect the basic shape of the Statue of Liberty. 2) A 'tower' is representative of Mary Magdalene (= Isis-Venus), an alter ego of Lady Liberty, as 'Magdalene' ('Magdala') denotes 'tower'. 3) The name 'Tour de France' can mean 'Tower of France', practically synonymous with 'Freedom Tower'. 4) The Pentagon, another structure attacked on 9/11, signifies Sirius-Venus-Lady Liberty (traditionally symbolized by a pentagram). 5) 2001 was 225 years after the birth of the United States (1776), '225' being the orbital period (in earth days) of Venus around the Sun and matching the opening day of the Athens Games (225 days after 1/1/04).
Common to both Athens and Paris is the notion of the prime meridian (chief longitudinal line). Paris has the historically and Gnostically important Zero Meridian/'Rose Line', and the Mars rover Opportunity carrying the 'Athena' payload landed in Meridiani Planum ('Meridian Plane') near the Martian Meridian in January 2004. This becomes important combined with the following...
Just a month after its rare union with the Sun, Venus crossed the Galactic Meridian (i.e. longitude 0°/180°) on Independence Day and at the hyperdimensional latitude of -19.5°!
The crossing occurred just as Venus was making a U-turn, changing its (apparent) direction from retrograde to direct. This was indeed yet another manifestation of the 'Tour/Tower de France' theme since 'tower', as well as 'tour', etymologically derives from a root word denoting 'spinning' or 'turning'! It also relates back to the twister theme.
Apparent path of Venus as it crossed Galactic Meridian
near Aldebaran (meridian not shown).
All together, Independence Day 2004 featured no less than four 'Tour de France' manifestations: 1) start of the Tour de France race, 2) Freedom Tower's cornerstone laid, 3) Statue of Liberty, a form of Venus and a gift from France, highlighted by the holiday celebrations, and 4) Venus making a 'hyperdimensional turn' at the Galactic Meridian. Another 'Tour de France' manifestation worth noting is the Eiffel Tower in Paris, where the Tour race traditionally ends (Champs Elysees). It is the 'tower' of France, if not of the entire world, standing in the Champ de Mars, or 'Field of Mars', hence underscoring the Martian Meridian association.
Another key point here is the fact that the Meridian crossing was closely marked by the position of Aldebaran, a bright star in Taurus known also as... the 'Torch-Bearer'! It's also called 'Bull's or God's Eye', conjuring up the (Golden) 'Eye' theme again.
As already noted, GoldenEye refers to a 'Star Wars'-type satellite weapon relatable to Reagan whose recent death event coincided with the Transit of Venus and concluded on June 11 with the 'passing of the torch' ritual involving Schwarzenegger. Well, it just happens that Venus was crossing the Galactic Meridian on that very day too! I wrote elsewhere:
...the recent Transit of Venus... coincided with the week-long funerary proceedings following Ronald Reagan's passing. The transit took place on June 8 at the edge of the Milky Way and very close to the Galactic Meridian (i.e. longitude 0°/180°).
Few days later on June 11 Venus actually crossed the Meridian, coinciding with the funeral/burying of Reagan down on earth which also simultaneously signaled the 'rise of Schwarzenegger'.
Back to the July 4 crossing, I noticed that it took place at a V-shaped region of Taurus known as the Hyades. As pointed out by Jane B. Sellers and later by Robert Bauval (The Orion Mystery, pp.147ff), it was associated with the Egyptian god Seth (or Set), the embodiment of evil/chaos and Horus' archenemy. In their epic battle, Horus lost his left eye and Seth his testicles.
In this context the left eye of the Crabwood alien was perhaps an allusion to Seth. Indeed, Seth was considered a 'foreigner' or 'alien', and the name Seth - also spelt 'Set' - brings to mind SETI, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence...
The fact that only the right side of the face was highlighted alludes to the double-face model of the Face on Mars in which the right side represents the head of the beast (leonine). Now check out the following, written by me back on October 24, '03:
In the first Endgame article, I discussed what appeared to be a 'leak' by an 'insider' posted on the former message board of Richard Hoagland's Enterprise website. [...] The post by 'KBS' included only a series of numbers that was hyperlinked to a webpage displaying the 2002 'alien disk' crop glyph. Soon another poster there (perhaps the same 'insider')... found the following encoded message: 'HaPPy AnNiVerSaRy, HoAglAnd'.
...The key: the message was posted on August 27 ('02) . And with the mention of 'anniversary', meaning 'returning with the year at a stated time', it became clear... that it was pointing ahead to the August 27 of the following year, 2003 - the exact date of [Mars' historic close approach to Earth]! Since Hoagland is [the famous 'Mars/Cydonia guy'], there was no question that this was the intended message.
...The alien crop glyph, to which the coded message was hyperlinked, was created on Aug. 14 (= Aug. 27 Gregorian); and the message itself was posted on Aug. 27 (= Aug. 14 Julian) and pointed ahead to the Aug. 27 of 2003. [...]
...On [or very near] the predicted 'Hoagland anniversary' day (8/27/03), Richard Hoagland [published] his new paper on his website [featuring] a new picture of the 'Face on Mars' taken by the Odyssey spacecraft...
Hoagland begins the paper by stating:
This startling new image of the well-known "Face on Mars" (above [right]) may ultimately be regarded as one of the most important photographs of the entire Space Program. For, after almost 30 years of acrid controversy and debate, a "whole new side" to this perplexing Martian mystery - and the profound social and scientific questions it continues to present - has now literally dawned...
He goes on to discuss how the lighting of the rising sun reflected on the eastern side of the 'Face' reveals a new mystery, an inexplicable amount of reflectivity. The paper is all about the brightly lit right half of the Face.
This 'beast' revelation closely coincided with the 'rise of Schwarzenegger' whose political ascension began on August 6 ('03). His designated role in the 'super torch ritual' is an 'Antichrist' or... 'Beast' which is symbolically coherent. But Arnie is also a form of Horus, contradicting his Seth/Beast connection. It would still make coherent sense, however, if - as likely - the 'rise of the Terminator' signifies the 'rise of a false Horus', i.e. Seth.
At any rate, it cannot be missed that the 'light bearer' star (Venus) illuminating the Hyades (= Seth) on the torch/light day (July 4, '04) was a reproduction of sunlight illuminating the beast side of the Face. A direct comparison (using the glyph) below reveals an intriguing resemblance.
Even the glyph's angle relative to the grooves in the field corresponds to the angle made by the Galactic (shown) and Ecliptic (not shown but basically horizontal) grid systems.
Finally, interactions between Seth and Horus (such as their great battle) can be epitomized by the pictorial theme showing them in the 'act of churning/drilling' which, combined with Seth being the god of wind and storm, brings back the twister theme.
The act of churning had another version in which the Nile twin gods do the 'drilling' instead of Seth and Horus. The interchangeability is also evident in the close link found between the Horus-Seth battle and the 'Winding Waterway', an Egyptian term for the Milky Way and its earthly counterpart the Nile. From Pyramid Texts 594-6:
Horus has cried out because of his Eye, Seth has cried out because of his testicles, and there leaps up the Eye of Horus, who had fallen on yonder side of the Winding Waterway, so that it may protect itself from Seth. Thoth saw it on yonder side of the Winding Waterway when the Eye of Horus leapt up on yonder side of the Winding Waterway and fell on Thoth's wing on yonder side of the Winding Waterway. O you gods who cross over on the wing of Thoth to yonder side of the Winding Waterway, to the eastern side of the sky, in order to dispute with Seth about this Eye of Horus: I will cross with you upon the wing of Thoth to yonder side of the Winding Waterway, to the eastern side of the sky, and I will dispute with Seth about this Eye of Horus. [emphasis added]
In my book The Time Rivers I argue that the 'Winding Waterway' is a more specific reference to the Nile's huge, anomalous bend in Sudan. The Nile being an unusually straight river flowing directly northward - the first hint that it's an intelligently designed river - the big bend, where the water suddenly turns around and flows southward, is very notable. It is the only section of the Nile that clearly 'winds' - hence a 'Winding Waterway'. And here '19.5' emerges again: the bend's northern peak precisely pinpoints the tetrahedral latitude of 19.5 (or 19.47) degrees north!
The Nile bend even pinpoints longitude 33.0 degrees east... '33' being the other important hyperdimensional, as well as ritualistic/Masonic, number. (The Nile is a 'hyperdimensional river'.) You may recall that the the alien glyph's disk contained exactly 33 lines... The frame contained 59 lines; 33% of 59 is - as David Flynn pointed out - exactly 19.47...
The Time River Theory is not yet widely known - I call it the 'Nile denial'. But it is a major piece of the grand cosmic 'puzzle'. It's an 'alien message' so big and unexpected that it had been overlooked all this time.
While this article puts emphasis more on the Nazi/ultra-tech aspect of the 'alien message', the involvement of Cydonia, the Nile, and such make it plain that we are ultimately dealing with a cosmic design that is truly 'out of this world'. These are quiet whispers of a higher intelligence...

Mystery, Babylon the Great
By Goro Adachi

Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters... And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH... And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, thees shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire... and the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
(Revelation 17:1-18)
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven... And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen... And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached onto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities... Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire... And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning. Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls... The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing... For in one hour so great riches is come nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! ... And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
(Revelation 18:1-24)
Gate of the God
Is New York City -- plausibly the greatest city on earth -- the city called 'Babylon' personified by a 'great whore'? Does the scriptural passages concerning the fall of Babylon have some relevance to the 911 terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center twin towers? Indeed, since many had long compared NYC to the scriptural 'Babylon', the 'prophecies' in Revelation quoted above can quite naturally be considered applicable to the first major attack on the US homeland - one of the biggest, and most shocking, terrorist incidents in all history. Although some may object to the resultant implication that NYC is the city of sinners that had to be destroyed by 'God' himself, I'd point out that the sense of 'good vs. evil' in the Bible is quite a murky one that should not be taken too literally. (In fact, nothing in religious writings is to be taken literally - it's a trap that ape-brained men can't seem to get past... and this has caused so much trouble for the world throughout history. This is what happens when a powerful 'gift' is given to those who are not ready to handle it. History of mankind since c. 4000 BC -- when 'Pandora's box' was opened -- is the story of humans struggling to co-exist with the divine 'gift'.) A case in point: in Genesis, we read that at one time men were all united, spoke one language, and worked together in harmony toward reaching 'heaven':
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (Genesis 11:4)
In other words, mankind was thriving in peace and had high hopes. And what does 'God' do?
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel... (Genesis 11:5-9)
If the biblical 'God' represents all that is 'good', then this episode does not make much sense, does it? If 'good' represents men not living in harmony and striving to become something better, then what good is being 'good'? Hence, the overlay of NYC and Babylon the 'whore' need not be viewed as an 'evil' city versus those representing the 'good'. And there is, of course, a direct parallel between the NYC-Babylon juxtaposition and the biblical tale concerning the building of the Tower of Babel just quoted above.  According to tradition, the Tower of Babel was built in the ancient city of Babylon - in fact 'Babel' and 'Babylon' are practically interchangeable terms. How fitting is it that it was the twin towers -- by far the tallest in the city -- of the modern Babylon, i.e. NYC, that were destroyed in the recent terrorist attacks? NYC is the ultimate melting pot of all peoples of this planet where they interact in harmony (well-exemplified by NYC being the home of the United Nations) and produce something great -- just like the builders of the Tower of Babel. And even the designation of 'whore' is quite applicable as at the entrance to NYC is found the welcoming Statue of Liberty, a great woman symbolizing the great city.
There are further correlations to be yielded by the label 'whore'. A character in the scriptures that would best fit the description is Mary Magdalene - an enigmatic female companion, or quite likely the lover/wife, of Jesus Christ. Although Mary Magdalene is never described as a prostitute in the New Testament, it has been the prevalent view that she was. Chances are, though, the Magdalene is to be considered a 'whore' only in the symbolic sense that she was a version of the ancient Egyptian goddess par excellence, Isis, the wife-sister of Osiris, who was both a 'virgin' and a 'whore' as well as a goddess of wisdom and magic. (Isis' companion Osiris was killed and later resurrected to nicely parallel the Magdalene's companion, Jesus.) Isis, in turn, was represented in the sky by the great star Sirius -- a star of utmost importance to the ancient Egyptians as its 'rebirth' (i.e. 'heliacal rising') in mid-summer had the function of marking the New Year and signaling the beginning of the life-giving annual flooding of the Nile, roughly coinciding with the summer solstice. Curiously, the biblical tale about the Tower of Babel immediately follow those concerning Noah and the Great Flood as if to echo the correlation.
Esoterically, Sirius is represented by a five-pointed star, i.e. a pentagonal form -- thus ending up strongly resonating with the fact that the '911' terrorist attacks hit not just the WTC towers but also the Pentagon (whose construction, by the way, began on 9-11). Sirius, moreover, may be considered a 'stargate' par excellence for in ancient Egypt 'star' was interchangeable with 'doorway'. Sirius being the brightest star in the night sky, it can thusly be viewed as the ultimate 'gate of heaven', or 'gate of the god' - which just happens to be the very meaning of the name 'Babylon'. Similarly, the name given to the historical Tower of Babel, Etemenanki, meant 'the house of the foundation of heaven and earth', i.e. a gate to heaven. This link is then further enhanced by the fact that the name 'Magdalene' (as Magdala) can mean 'tower' as in the Tower of Babel and the WTC twin towers. Reinforcing the connection even more, amazingly, is the groundbreaking date of the WTC twin towers being August 5, that is, the very date of Sirius' heliacal rising/'rebirth' in our epoch! The Magdalene's name can also mean 'place of the dove' - which is still quite intriguing as it relates to the flood theme; it was a dove that signaled for Noah that the flood had ended (see Gen. 8:8-12).
The Fallen
In Genesis, the cause of the biblical Flood is -- rather mysteriously -- associated with 'fallen angels', or 'giants'/'sons of God', more properly called the 'Nephilim':
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. And God saw that the wickedness was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth...
This is a typical English translation of Genesis 6:4-7 that contains some errors, including the last phrase, ‘men of renown’. It may be more accurately rendered as ‘the people of the shem’. What, then, is the ‘shem’? Zecharia Sitchin writes:
The persistence of biblical translators to employ "name" wherever they encounter shem has ignored a farsighted study published more than a century ago by G. M. Redslob… in which he correctly pointed out that the term shem and the term shamaim ("heaven") stem from the root word shamah, meaning "that which is highward." (The 12th Planet, pp.147-8)
The shem was also closely linked with fire and a stone; the shem thus was a ‘highward fire-stone’. It is, in other words, apparently a reference to a meteorite. This is strongly corroborated by the fact that:
Shems were particularly associated with something called an-na, which meant ‘heavenly stone’, a term that was also used to define a shining metal. The use of the word shem in respect of its ‘shining’ aspect is apparent in the alternative name for Prince Utu, brother of Inanna… His epithet was Shem-esh: the Shining One. (Laurence Gardner, Genesis of the Grail Kings, p.120)
So, what we have here is this: the shem was a ‘heavenly shining fire-stone’ while the Nephilim, i.e. the ‘fallen angles’ (also called the ‘Shining Ones’), were the ‘people of the shem’.
The shem also figures in the tale of the Tower of Babel:
…let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a shem, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Again, the shem is directly associated with heaven, and here it is additionally linked with the top of a tower – which makes the shem very much comparable to the Egyptian Benben Stone which too is thought to have been a meteorite and was placed at the very top of a pyramid or obelisk. It may also be noticed that the Babel story conceptually parallels the saga of the 'fallen angels' who were punished by ‘God’ for overreaching just as was the case with the builders of the Tower.
The Benben Stone connection then brings us back to Osiris, the husband-brother of Isis, as ancient Egyptian theology equated the heavenly stone with the soul of Osiris as well as the phoenix. Since the phoenix signifies the concept of resurrection, it may be inferred that the Benben/shem is symbolic of Osirian resurrection which mythologically takes place with the help of Isis. And similarly, Jesus -- in theory, the biblical Osiris -- is identified in the New Testament with the cornerstone of the Temple that the ‘builders rejected’:
…Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone… (Ephesians 2:20)
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. (Acts 4:10-1)
This notion of a rejected cornerstone can easily be compared to the ‘rejected’ capstone/benben of the greatest Egyptian ‘Temple’, the Great Pyramid. Combined with a cornerstone’s significance as the transition from the underground realm to the upper realm, the rejected cornerstone even echoes the Benben Stone being symbolic of Osirian resurrection (thus further reinforcing the Osiris-Jesus identification).
Antediluvian Pillars
Osiris was considered the ruler of the Golden Age known to the ancient Egyptians as the Zep Tepi, or 'First Time'. This mythical realm in turn has been often associated with the supposed great antediluvian civilization that Plato called 'Atlantis'. In Plato's accounts of this lost world, the only clear reference to its geographical position is that it was situated beyond the 'pillars of Hercules' (an ancient name for the Straits of Gibraltar at the western end of the Mediterranean Sea). Osiris, correspondingly, was often depicted in the shape of a pillar by the ancient Egyptians. Could the two 'pillars of Hercules' that represented a gateway to the paradisiacal realm be now considered analogous to the Tower of Babel/'gate of the god' or more specifically the twin towers/pillars of NYC destroyed in the 9-11 terrorist attacks?
The imagery of two pillars is also clearly evocative of the two pillars of Jachin and Boaz (symbolizing individual power and life) that stood at the entrance to Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, the home of the Ark of the Covenant. They were made of brass (1 Kings 7:15) - which has a most fitting implication as brass/bronze is considered to signify 'the indissoluble compact between Earth and Heaven and the pledge of the everlasting stability of this covenant' (Chevalier & Gheerbrant, Dictionary of Symbols, "column"). Representations of these pillars are still found in lodges of Freemasonry, a large semi-secret and esoteric organization which carries within its mysterious tradition that of the medieval warrior-monks, the Knights Templar.
After its sudden dissolution initiated by the French king Philip the Fair in 1307, the Templar survivors apparently made their way into Scotland where they and their tradition found a sanctuary and were maintained by certain interlocking families including the Sinclairs, the patron of Scottish Freemasonry, who had a close connection with the Templar knights. Among the Templar legacies were almost certainly things they had obtained at the site of Solomon's Temple which they had been allowed to use as their headquarters. It is known that the knights excavated the site and probably found something of great importance which may have contributed to the rapid rise to the top of the power structure in Christendom. So it was quite obviously through the incorporation of Templarism that Freemasonry came to adopt the Solomonic twin-pillar symbolism.
That these pillars are relevant to our discussion is effectively confirmed by the imagery on one of the tarot cards called the 'High Priestess' or 'Papess' which shows a high priestess/female pope along with the pillars of Jachin and Boaz marked 'J' and 'B'.
The Papess almost certainly represents none other than Mary Magdalene (= Isis, Babylon, tower, etc.) who actually had a power struggle with Peter the first pope according to Gnostic Gospels. Also, tellingly, the term ‘prostitute’ (a description often applied to the Magdalene), as hierodulae, would refer to the ‘sacred women’-- or 'priestesses' -- of the temple of the Goddess who performed a ritual practice resembling the anointing of Jesus by Mary of Bethany (often equated with Mary Magdalene). In ancient times, anointing of the king was a ritual – called the ‘Sacred Marriage’ in Greek – performed by a royal bride; the implication being that Mary Magdalene married Jesus, just as Isis was the wife of Osiris, resulting in the 'Holy Grail' which is the 'Blood Royal'.
The pillars of Jachin and Boaz also nicely relate back to the themes of the Flood and Atlantis as originally these Masonic pillars represented the 'Antediluvian Pillars' erected by Enoch, Noah's great-grandfather, who is considered one of Freemasonry's founders. According to legend, Enoch had the foreknowledge of the coming Deluge and constructed nine hidden vaults in which he concealed certain knowledge. He then placed two columns at the site upon which were inscribed the 'seven sciences' of mankind and such. The vaults were later found by Solomon while building his Temple. Enoch, therefore, can be viewed as a prototype of Noah and the vaults/pillars are another form of the Ark containing antediluvian, or Atlantean, 'knowledge'.
It is interesting to point out here that it is the 'Book of Enoch' that contains the most detailed account of the affairs of the 'fallen angels'/'Watchers' briefly mentioned in Genesis. Also, that the number of Enoch's vaults was nine, combined with the twin pillars visually forming the number '11', raises the possibility that the date of the terrorist attacks on the NYC twin towers (9-11) was in reference, at least in part, to the Antediluvian Pillars and its connection to the WTC 'pillars'. Seemingly supportive of this, numerically, also is the fact that there are exactly 111 days left in the year after 9-11. As it happens, the Sumerian version of Noah's Ark "was a cube - a modest one, measuring 60x60x60 fathoms, which represents the unit in the sexagesimal system where 60 is written as 1" (Hamlet's Mill, p.219). In other words, the original Ark could be considered to have measured 1x1x1 or '111'.
Lost and Found
On the Etemenanki website, I have long pointed out the persistent symbolic connection that apparently exists between high-impact world events -- especially airplane crashes -- and the theme of the Ark-Grail (see 1999: The Ark of Sirius for example). The '911' event involving airplane crashes, needless to say, fits the pattern very well.
After some contemplation, I have now finally found a reasonably sound explanation as to why such a symbolic link exists. An 'airplane' is a perfect vehicle to carry the notion of the 'air-plane' as in the 'dimension of air' that is sandwiched between the planes of earth and heaven. Its relative position therefore is implicative of the familiar theme of the unification or 'gate' of earth and heaven. In support of this interpretation, we find that in ancient Egypt it was conceptualized that the air god Shu was sort of a pillar that held the vault of heaven above. This imagery is strikingly evocative of Atlas of Greek mythology who was condemned to bearing the heaven on his shoulders for eternity after the great war with the Olympians. Atlas, in turn, is said to have been the first king of Atlantis and in effect the embodiment of this legendary civilization!
Airplane crashes would therefore be analogous to the destruction of the antediluvian world, i.e. none other the the Great Flood, which may be conceptually thought of as the collapse of great pillars/towers/gate -- and that is exactly what took place at the World Trade Center in NYC!
The planes crashing into the WTC towers and the Pentagon was of course like no other plane crashes. The magnitude of devastation and symbolic coherence was off the scale. Does this imply something? Why so strong an echo of the 'Atlantean' destruction in 2001?
Could it be that like Osiris and the phoenix, Atlantis is getting ready to rise again from its ashes now? Is the Ark about to be opened? Is the discovery of the fabled Atlantean 'Hall of Records' imminent?
In 2000, an underwater city with pyramidal structures was detected off the coast of Cuba. Researchers have been quietly examining this most enigmatic archaeological find behind the scenes. We are at this time simply awaiting the news of this paradigm-shattering revelation to break. Could this be relevant? It seems so.
Indeed, long before the '911' attacks I had already detected a curious pattern. In the 'View from Here' section of the Etemenanki website, for example, I have made the following remarks:
- June 20: "Looks like this is going to be a summer of Atlantis."
- July 06: "...the undercurrent esoteric theme of this summer was to be the 'rising' of Atlantis... I'd say 'the timetable', the template of history, is dictating that 2001 be the beginning of the 'resurrection of Osiris' (which has many levels of meaning)."
Along with these I had also noted how this theme appeared to be entangled with Mars at which NASA's latest probe, Mars Odyssey, just arrived on Oct. 23, '01.  All summer long, Mars was very close to Earth -- in fact, closest in over a decade -- and was a dominant object in the night sky. And since 1998, Mars Global Surveyor had been giving us new photographs of the controversial Cydonia "monuments" on Mars in an attempt to confirm or refute the claim of the Cydonian structures being artificial - a question that still has not been settled but is getting more and more intriguing. Perhaps Odyssey will help solving the enigma soon.
It cannot be ignored that NYC, where the 'Atlantean pillars' stood, is situated at ~40.8°N latitude which happens to be the very latitude of the Martian 'monuments' in Cydonia.  And one of the most intriguing Cydonia structures happens to be a pentagonal pyramid called the 'D&M Pyramid' which is very much evocative of the Pentagon hit by a plane on 9-11. The Martian Pentagon is even partially collapsed to reflect the US Pentagon, or vice versa.
What are we to make of all these and other connections? Atlantis... Mars... Was Atlantis on (gasp) Mars? Did mankind first started on the Red Planet before the "Flood"? One telling clue is the fact that the humans ‘free-running circadian rhythm’ (i.e. the natural sleep-awake cycle without any external time cues such as sunrise, sunset, clock, daily routine, etc.) is not 24 hours as expected, but about 24.7 hours long instead – that is, almost precisely the length of a Martian day.
Did man 'fall' to Earth in an "Exodus" from the Red Planet like a life-seeding meteorite and knowledge-providing 'fallen angles'? The shem was a 'fire-stone' - isn't this a potent allusion to Mars, the planet/'stone' of fire?
What was placed in the Ark of Moses, according to some scholars, were actually meteorites. Could the tale of Moses and his Ark, then, be another version of Noah and his Ark? Was the 'Exodus' of the Israelites led by Moses, then, actually a parabolic story about an interplanetary migration of man in the forgotten past?
The 911 event being a symbolic reenactment of the Flood (i.e. destruction of 'Atlantis'), wouldn't the pattern dictate that the next event be a mass 'Exodus'? Could it be just a coincidence that I conceptually equated President Bush with Moses in The Two Suns of Election MM last year?
But where would be the destination of this 'Exodus'? Where is our 'Promised Land'?
You guessed it: Mars.
The world events today appear to be symbolically anticipating mankind's imminent migration to the Red Planet on which will likely be found enough water to sustain a full-blown civilization soon (this is probably where Mars Odyssey comes in).
We are going back to our Genesis, the First Time, the Golden Age, the Age of Osiris.
America is no longer the 'New World'. Mars is. And this is actually part of what I had in mind when I stated in early 2000:
Now, I'm not sure if I want to say this... but here is something that the data I have is suggesting to me. It's that the year 2000/2001 is to bring to the United States one of the biggest events the country has ever experienced. This is not something I 'believe' or based on 'millennial' mentality; it's just what the data I have (not presented on this website) is suggesting to me. The key concepts attached to this are termination and 'New World'.

Tertius could you explain that more? Interesting  German diminutive of HELENE or MAGDALENA....is Leni We see Saint Helen carry the cross just like we see the Madeliene carry the cross at Renne  From a title which meant "of Magdala". Mary Magdalene, a character in the New Testament, was named thus because she was from Magdala - a village on the sea of Galilee whose name meant "tower" in Hebrew. She was cleaned of evil spirits by Jesus and then remained with him during his ministry, witnessing the crucifixion and the resurrection. She was a popular saint in the Middle Ages, and the name became common then. In England it is traditionally rendered Madeline, while Magdalene or Magdalen is the learned form.

I wanted to share a few images and impressions of my most recent visit to Rennes-le-Chateau, and also, more than anything else, to convey my sincere congratulations to Mariano and his colleagues for the absolutely superb job they and the commune have done in revamping the museum in the presbytery, and other parts of Sauniere's domaine. It was the first time I'd been back since the changes were made, and I was very impressed. The museum has been greatly transformed, with the exception of the parlour to the left as you go in, which is still dominated by the rather unfortunate waxworks of Sauniere being served, not by Marie, but by her mother, but that aside, the whole place looks very different. Items such as the old altar pillar, the wooden baluster and the Dalle des Chevaliers, are now in the ground floor room on the right, together with the glass cabinets containing artefacts from the pre-historic, Gallo-Roman and medieval periods.  The upper rooms contain many familiar items from the previous collection, including the excellent scale model, but the layout is quite different. AV presentations play in one room, by collections of the priest's belongings, furniture and vestments.  Lots of smart looking display boards have gone up, recounting the village's history and mystery, and there are also some nice items of nostalgia, like this old poster, though I think this was here before.  Much of the interior of the Villa Bethania was closed, as it generally is, but in this room, a pianola was playing.  The brilliant sunshine outside made the stained glass in the villa look particularly vivid.  Outside, in the domaine, refurbishment works have been undertaken to the belevedere.  And a lot of clearance has been done in the garden between the belvedere and the villa, and once this is all planted up, it should look really good.  This is a nice view of the presbytery and the church.  Much work remains to be done, for which funds will need to be raised, particularly to the Tour Magdala and the church. This is just inside the church entrance.  But the work done thus far has been excellent. This used to be such a dismal place to visit - tired, dusty, full of clutter - but the experience now is completely different to what it used to be. Great job, Mariano, and whoever else has been involved. I shall add some further pictures later of the village itself, and its immediate environs. Richard like Nic on their recent visit to Rennes Museum have brought pictures back for us here who can not be there I am so appreciative for all their beautiful pictures as I am to Ben Hammott and so many others Pilrig Crow Dave Andrew I was so excited to see the room with the regalia What is standing out is the fleury cross to me not only is it on Sauniere's regalia but it is on the walls in the museum where his regalia is Can someone tell me is the wall paper or stencil the original at Sauniere's home or the Museum curators design Thanks again Richard

French Crop circle Plat-d'Étain, nr Chécy, Boigny. Reported 11th June. http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/inter2012/france/Checy,2012a.htmlThe Crop Circle was reported Monday June 11 in France is between the "rue du Bois Saussier" and the "rue du Plat d'Étain" near to the city of Chécy , Departement in the Loiret (45), Central region. 47 54' 58' N 2 0' 57' E  the triangle was very important to Sauniere    and the trefoil which is a major design at the Tour Magdala  We were all talking about the trefoil and what it showed around this time freaky Checy is close to Orleans Orleans Heraldry  On the south bank the "chtelet des Tourelles" protected access to the bridge. This was the site of the battle on 8 May 1429 which allowed Joan of Arc to enter and liberate the city from the Plantagenets during the Hundred Years' War, with the help of the royal generals Dunois and Florent d'Amiot – lliers "la pucelle d'Orléans" When France colonised America, the territory it conquered was immense, including the whole Mississippi River (whose first European name was the River Colbert), from its mouth to its source at the borders of Canada. Its capital was named "la Nouvelle-Orléans" in honour of Louis XV's regent, the duke of Orléans, Heraldry
According to Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun in La France Illustrée, 1882, Orléans's arms are "gules, three caillous in cœurs de lys argent, and on a chief azure, three fleurs de lys Or." Charle Grandmaison, in the Dictionnaire Héraldique of 1861, states that it is "Or, with three hearts in gules", without the chief of France. Sometimes, in faulty designs, we find it described "gules, three fleurs de lys argent, and on a chief azure three fleurs de lys Or."[5]
It is to be noted that the design shown left shows 3 "cœurs de lys" (heart of a lily), seen from above. This "cœurs de lys" is therefore not a true lily, which would have 6 tepals, but a hypothetical aerial view of a symbolic lily. It has probably also been stylised more and more in heraldry, as in the heart in a pack of cards. Certain authors solve the problem by calling this symbol a "tiercefeuille", defined as a stemless clover leaf, with one leaf at the top and two below, thus making this coat of arms "gules, with three reversed tiercefeuilles in argent, etc".
"Hoc vernant lilia corde" (granted by Louis XII, then duke of Orléans), meaning "It is by this heart that lilies flourish" or "This heart makes lilies flourish", referring to the fleur de lys, symbol of the French royal family.

C.W. Leadbeater claimed that he had met the Count de Saint Germain the supposed immortal German alchemist. He developed the concept of the Great White Brotherhood (The Ascended Masters) started by Helena Blavatsky. He met Jiddu Krishnamurti the Indian Mystic. Leadbeater gave him the interesting name of Alcyone after a star in the Pleiades where Joseph Franklin Rutherford of the Jehovah's Witnesses (Watchtower Society to give them their proper name) once wrote in their journal Zion's Watchtower that God lives there. Leadbeater knew and later inspired Max Heindel and Augusta Foss and Heindel started a Rosicrucian movement based in Rennes le Chateau (or so some have hinted at). Harvey Spencer Lewis, S. ·. I. '., 33 ° 66 ° 95 °, Ph.D. founder of AMORC was initiated into a Rosicrucian movement based around Toulouse around 1909. Just a word on the name Zion's Watchtower. The hebrew Migdal -eder is thought to have been corrupted into Magdalene. The name is not Mary Magdalene but Mary THE MAGDALENE. This stems from Micah 4:8 where it says: And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion (Sion), unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. (KJV)Migdal-eder means Tower of the Flock in Hebrew. It was an astronomical observatory just like Saunière's was. But had eight observation windows at the top like the Tour d'Alchemie. Corresponding to the four Quarter days and four Cross Quarter days  Alcyone (Al Syon) is the central star of the Pleiades. |

3 Elul 5695
today was 3 Elul, 77th anniversary of the death of Rav Kook z”l, on whose gravestone are found the 3 dates recorded herein. surely 77 is a significant number upon which to reflect. 77 is the simple gematria for ‘mazal’ (“luck”if you will), and certainly starting Elul with good fortune in the cards isn’t all bad, right? but we can do better if we think back to the 3rd haftarah of comfort, which we read/heard on Rosh Chodesh Elul just passed, and remember Proverbs 18:10:
“migdal-oz, shem haShem”
(a tower of strength is the Name of G’d)
the Name is a tower (gematria=77) of strength (gematria=77). and the haftarah teaches us that all the children will learn of G’d, ie, come to know the Name. and we will not need to fear the oppression of our wrongs in the past or the devastation of falling back into bad ways, for it will not come near (Isaiah 54:14). let’s expand the 77-77 further in Psalm 61:4:
“for you have been a refuge for me
a tower of strength in the face of the enemy
and back to our haftarah, in which we learn further (54:17) the power inherent in the Name:
“any weapon sharpened against you will not succeed;
any tongue that will rise against you in judgment
YOU will condemn”
“you will condemn” any accusing sharpened tongue” for that is the heritage of the servants of G’d; THAT is part and parcel their righteousness from G’d. the deeds of the baal t’shuvah will defeat the naysayers and the evil report and the cynical doubt and the tongue of any accuser. what you do now defends you from what you may have done in the past. now defeats then. NOW is “the heritage of those in awe of the Name” (Psalm 61:6). turn to haShem truly with full heart–real t’shuvah– and you gain the tools to defeat even your worst enemies, the great oppressors of your past. YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, nonetheless:
azamra shimcha la’ad
(i will sing praise to Your Name forever)
t’shuvah is to open to channeling of the tower of strength from G’d the Source to you yourself and through you to the world. and starting tomorrow, we will not begin to examine practices of t’shuvah, the way of the soul warrior.
oh, hey, what about those dates on Rav Kook’s stone? isn’t it usually just birthdate and deathdate? well, they reflect his own emulation of the walk of Avraham avinu with haShem. do we know much about Avraham’s birth and birthdate? nope. but we know that he was called by G’d to GO himself, for himself, to himself, leaving behind your birthplace, your land , and your parents home. 3 leavings for Avraham avinu represented 3 ascents that are paralleled in Rav Kook’s life: the parental home represents the pull of the familiar and comfortable origin, which R’ Kook put behind him when he left europe and ascended to the Land of Israel on 28 Iyyar 5664; your land represents peer pressure for the ways of galut, which R’ Kook put away when he ascended to Jerusalem to live while founding a new religious way that merged rich zionism (and association with the secular) with traditional teachings and practices on 28 Iyyar 5679; and last, but not least, your birthplace represents the pull of the place into which your soul is born–your body, which R’ Kook put behind him when he died and ascended to the wholly spiritual realm on 3 Elul 5695.
birthdate is past–aveirah in aver–but each ascent as you walk Torah is a moment of vividly living in a moment. not a record of history, but a piling of milestones. so it is for everyone doing t’shuvah…you ascend from strength to strength, leaving behind the pulls of what was, adding your own milestones to the walls of the Tower of Strength.

The Liberty Bell
|
A chime that changed the world occurred on July 8, 1776, when the Liberty Bell rang out from the tower of Independence Hall summoning citizens to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence by Colonel John Nixon.
The Pennsylvania Assembly ordered the Bell in 1751 to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges.
Penn's charter, Pennsylvania's original Constitution, speaks of the rights and freedoms valued by people the world over. Particularly forward thinking were Penn's ideas on religious freedom, his liberal stance on Native American rights, and his inclusion of citizens in enacting laws.
|
|
As it was to commemorate the Charter's golden anniversary, the quotation "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," from Leviticus 25:10, was particularly apt. For the line in the Bible immediately preceding "proclaim liberty" is, "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year." What better way to pay homage to Penn and hallow the 50th year than with a bell proclaiming liberty?
Also inscribed on the Bell is the quotation, "By Order of the Assembly of the Province of Pensylvania for the State House in Philada." Note that the spelling of "Pennsylvania" was not at that time universally adopted. The choice of the quotation was made by Quaker Isaac Norris, speaker of the Assembly.
Centered on the front of the Bell are the words, "Pass and Stow / Philada / MDCCLIII." We'll get to Pass and Stow in a bit.
|
History of the Bell
|
On November 1, 1751, a letter was sent to Robert Charles, the Colonial Agent of the Province of Pennsylvania who was working in London. Signed by Isaac Norris, Thomas Leech, and Edward Warner, it represented the desires of the Assembly to purchase a bell for the State House (now Independence Hall) steeple. The bell was ordered from Whitechapel Foundry, with instructions to inscribe on it the passage from Leviticus.
The bell arrived in Philadelphia on September 1, 1752, but was not hung until March 10, 1753, on which day Isaac Norris wrote, "I had the mortification to hear that it was cracked by a stroke of the clapper without any other viollence [sic] as it was hung up to try the sound."
The cause of the break is thought to have been attributable either to flaws in its casting or, as they thought at the time, to its being too brittle.
Two Philadelphia foundry workers named John Pass and John Stow were given the cracked bell to be melted down and recast. They added an ounce and a half of copper to a pound of the old bell in an attempt to make the new bell less brittle. For their labors they charged slightly over 36 Pounds.
The new bell was raised in the belfry on March 29, 1753. "Upon trial, it seems that they have added too much copper. They were so teased with the witticisms of the town that they will very soon make a second essay," wrote Isaac Norris to London agent Robert Charles. Apparently nobody was now pleased with the tone of the bell.
Pass and Stow indeed tried again. They broke up the bell and recast it. On June 11, 1753, the New York Mercury reported, "Last Week was raised and fix'd in the Statehouse Steeple, the new great Bell, cast here by Pass and Stow, weighing 2080 lbs."
In November, Norris wrote to Robert Charles that he was still displeased with the bell and requested that Whitechapel cast a new one.
Upon the arrival of the new bell from England, it was agreed that it sounded no better than the Pass and Stow bell. So the "Liberty Bell" remained where it was in the steeple, and the new Whitechapel bell was placed in the cupola on the State House roof and attached to the clock to sound the hours.
The Liberty Bell was rung to call the Assembly together and to summon people together for special announcements and events. The Liberty Bell tolled frequently. Among the more historically important occasions, it tolled when Benjamin Franklin was sent to England to address Colonial grievances, it tolled when King George III ascended to the throne in 1761, and it tolled to call together the people of Philadelphia to discuss the Sugar Act in 1764 and the Stamp Act in 1765.
In 1772 a petition was sent to the Assembly stating that the people in the vicinity of the State House were "incommoded and distressed" by the constant "ringing of the great Bell in the steeple."
But it continued tolling for the First Continental Congress in 1774, the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775 and its most resonant tolling was on July 8, 1776, when it summoned the citizenry for the reading of the Declaration of Independence produced by the Second Continental Congress.
In October 1777, the British occupied Philadelphia. Weeks earlier all bells, including the Liberty Bell, were removed from the city. It was well understood that, if left, they would likely be melted down and used for cannon. The Liberty Bell was removed from the city and hidden in the floorboards of the Zion Reformed Church in Allentown, Pennsylvania, which you can still visit today.
Throughout the period from 1790 to 1800, when Philadelphia was the nation's capital, uses of the Bell included calling the state legislature into session, summoning voters to hand in their ballots at the State House window, and tolling to commemorate Washington's birthday and celebrate the Fourth of July.
|
|
There is widespread disagreement about when the first crack appeared on the Bell. However, it is agreed that the final expansion of the crack which rendered the Bell unringable was on Washington's Birthday in 1846.
|
The Bell as Icon
|
The Bell achieved an iconic status when abolitionists adopted the Bell as a symbol for the movement. It was first used in this association as a frontispiece to an 1837 edition of Liberty, published by the New York Anti-Slavery Society. In retrospect, it is a remarkably apt metaphor for a country literally cracked and freedom fissured for its black inhabitants. William Lloyd Garrison's anti-slavery publication The Liberator reprinted a Boston abolitionist pamphlet containing a poem about the Bell, entitled, The Liberty Bell, which represents the first documented use of the name, "Liberty Bell."
In 1847, George Lippard wrote a fictional story for The Saturday Currier which told of an elderly bellman waiting in the State House steeple for the word that Congress had declared Independence. The story continues that privately he began to doubt Congress's resolve. Suddenly the bellman's grandson, who was eavesdropping on the doors of Congress, yelled to him, "Ring, Grandfather! Ring!"
This story so captured the imagination of people throughout the land that the Liberty Bell was forever associated with the Declaration of Independence.
Starting in the 1880s, the Bell traveled to cities throughout the land "proclaiming liberty" and inspiring the cause of freedom. We have prepared a photo essay of its 1915 journey to the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco.
The Liberty Bell Pavilion was opened in 1976, in preparation for the nation's bicentennial celebrations. Now, on every Fourth of July, the bell is rung (symbolically tapped), in unison with thousands of bells across the nation.

The Liberty Bell and America's Independence from God - plus - Bells Across America - DO NOT PARTICIPATE! Yom Kippur - DO PARTICIPATE!
[Updated 9/27/2010] I've personally received a number of very obvious signs lately, and these are related to this specific season and the arrival of judgment for the Lord's people, and also the bell. Yes, bells that ring. I'm interrupting the work of preparing two other urgent and important related writings because of what just came to my attention. Today, Friday September 17, 2010, is the 223nd anniversary of the signing of the US Constitution. It's final form was adopted by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on Sept. 17, 1787, at Independence Hall. This will be celebrated across America with the ringing of bells. Web search "bells across america" The long version of what I've been working on is not ready for posting yet, but let me tell you - this is not a good thing! Don't participate. Ring no bell at this time! Some have scheduled the ringing for 4pm. I personally expect to be making intercessory prayer at that time. One of the signs came on Yom Teruah, this past Saturday morning. This was unplanned and unexpected, but I was led to go through my nearly full pocket change jar and roll the pennies. When I was done, I arranged them in pairs for easy counting at 2 rolls per dollar. I counted $11. That's 22 rolls! 22=11*2. I know what that signals. I've encountered it enough times to recognize it immediately. I had just been counting all the pennies and wrapping 50 per roll. When I was done wrapping, I knew I was done, with not one roll too many or too few, even though there were at least a few hundred more pennies left in the jar. When I counted $11 dollars in rolled pennies and saw the arrangement I had made with the 22 rolls it was obviously a sign. I didn't know the context of its interpretation until returning to blogging the next day. The post I had tried to write a few days earlier had to be rewritten. The Lord had something better in mind. The theme is going to match the post's number, number 22 in the Rochester, NY series. I had already noticed how the 21st post featured time-keeping. I had not planned it to correspond like this, but one of the meanings of 21 is "time." The theme matched the post's number! He has established a trend. As I reviewed what I'd written already, I reflected back on post 21 and what really needed to be the focus of the next one. It was the bells, by revelation insight. I'm going to include something later in this post of what I had written that could not yet be posted in that context. It's for this post! As I studied to learn more about bells, bell ringing and bell towers I began to understand about the sign of the 22 rolls of pennies and how the post #22 was to be a bell and bell tower post. Bells and pennies have a very similar brass composition. Bells for ringing are generally 80% copper and 20% tin. Pennies (USA), although changing through the years, were composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, from 1864 until 1943. Yesterday, Thursday, came another sign. I went to the barbershop for a haircut. I was going to go earlier than I did, but decided to wait so that lunch-time haircut folks wouldn't be inconvenienced. My schedule is flexible. When I did go, I usually walk the ten minutes it takes but decided instead to drive. Within a minute of my being there, the fellow in the barber's chair began to tell the barber he owned a foundry that made bells, and that he was a bell designer. Right. I've been intensely focused on bells for days and I walk in on that conversation. The odds? Absurd. It's another sign! He talked for a good half hour about the bells and his being on TV shows and interviewed for magazines and papers. I considered joining the conversation a few times but decided to keep quiet and just listen. A half-hour haircut? At least! When I got home I did some research to check up on the guy's story, his foundry, etc. He's legit. The number 22 (from the coin sign and the numbered post in the Rochester series) can be understood by expressing it as 11*2. "Eleven" signifies the flesh of man as grass and the flower of grass, frail and ephemeral - here today and gone tomorrow. "Two" signifies division. "Twenty-two" signifies the division, cutting or cutting off the flesh, as in the work of the cross in the life of the saint, resulting ultimately in the death of the flesh. As my dear brother Joseph Herrin observed, there's a reason why the 22" size is the most popular for grass-cutting machines. The sovereign Creator numbers His creation perfectly. This theme of 22 is a primary signification of the bell and bell tower, a symbolic and magickal element of Rochester, NY's Clock of Nations. It's also the theme of this season's judgment and the national bell ringing. Following New Zealand's Christchurch quake sign and, being in the midst of the celestial sign of Neptune, plus the penny rolls on Yom Teruah (Day of shouting and day of trumpets - trumpets are also typically made of brass, and have "bells" to project the sound), plus the encounter with the Bell man, (whose real claim to fame is the California Mission Bell project along El Camino Real) - on top of several other things, I have to tell you, I'm convinced we are in a critical season - right now. What I believe all this means is that, even beyond today's national bell ringing, the day of most critical importance is coming up in a couple days. The biblical account of bells focuses attention upon their use on Yom Kippur. On that day, the High Priest would go into the Most Holy Place and make atonement for Israel. 33) You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around on its hem, and bells of gold between them all around:
34) a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around on the hem of the robe.
35) It shall be on Aaron when he ministers; and its tinkling shall be heard when he enters and leaves the holy place before the LORD, so that he will not die.
36) You shall also make a plate of pure gold and shall engrave on it, like the engravings of a seal, 'Holy to the LORD.'
37) You shall fasten it on a blue cord, and it shall be on the turban; it shall be at the front of the turban.
38) It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall take away the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel consecrate, with regard to all their holy gifts; and it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
Exodus 28:33-38As the Lord may lead, fasting and prayer, very serious personal repentence and intercession may be called for in these days of awe. Yom Kippur is, by Karaite reckoning, September 19-20, sundown to sundown, Jerusalem time. Seek the Lord personally about specifics as to timing for you, of course. For those of you who work or have other obligations, some advance planning may be called for to free up your time and your families time from distractions. I'm convinced this is that urgent and that important. What I had written for the intended post 22 follows. It's about what today's "Bells Acroll America" celebrates, about Independence Hall, where the event took place. This is what the Liberty Bell in Independence Hall was about! Observe how the Liberty Bell points us towards Yom Kippur, the holy day on which the Yobel or Jubilee is proclaimed! Note the sign of it's cracking, and that it exists today in such a state.
The Liberty Bell and America's Independence from GodWhat we call the Liberty Bell was commissioned from the London firm of Lester and Pack in 1752. It was brought to Philadelphia and hung in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House, aka Independence Hall. It first cracked when first rung in Philadelphia. An inscription on the bell excerpts Leviticus 25:10: " Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." When the bell cracked, that was a sign! Here's more of the context of the bell's inscription. 8) And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
9) Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10) And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.The passage of scripture declares the institution of the Yobel, the Jubilee, and the accounting of the appointed times. The Yobel was to be observed faithfully until such time as when it would find its ultimate fulfillment. Was honoring the Creator's times and purposes in the minds and hearts of those who commissioned the inscription on the bell? It must be seen that they rather mocked Him and His ordinances. God is not mocked, for long. When first rung in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, the bell cracked. It was a sign. Hijacking His appointed times and purposes will not stand, for long. The "liberty" sought is independence from the Creator, his authority and all institutions of purpose and time. Independence Hall with its clock and associated Liberty Bell are icons of proud Philadelphia and America itself. The well hidden secret testimony is about America's independence from the Creator. This is exactly counter to what you will hear in nearly every bell tower institution where the presumed god of our proud country's founders is named. The Liberty Bell is an Isis bell, the fertile womb of Mystery Babylon. It's a symbol of the "liberty" that is independence from God. The Liberty Bell and the clock on the bell tower of Independence Hall signal America's fertile founding as a rebel's paradise.  Featured on the back of the Federal Reserve's one hundred dollar note is the clock tower of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA. The Federal Reserve imprints their notes and coins with occult symbolism.  The great seal on the back of the one dollar note is famously adorned with occult symbolism. I've recently blogged about how coins have numeric features that make them particularly special when tossed into fountains. That Freemasonry and Luciferian illuminism is behind the imagery is well documented. The Independence Hall clock tower on the one hundred dollar note must be important. It was featured in the movie franchise "National Treasure" as a major plot device. The time displayed on the clock was a clue that had to be deciphered, concealed and revealed through the symbols of America and Freemasonry. When I consider the Independence Hall clock I perceive a clue that leads me to another kind of treasure! The clock on Independence Hall is a parable. Clocks serve to disassociate people from the natural ways that honor the Creator. Individuals and communities governed by clocks are disassociated, disconnected in their relationship with the Creator, thus operating independent of Him. The clock ... on Independence Hall - get it? The treasure here is insight into the truth behind what is meant by independence! When most people see the word in that context, what comes to mind is obviously, "independence from Britain." Independence Hall in Philadelphia is the very place where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. That document begins, " When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..." There can be no doubt that independence meant the establishment of a nation independent of the British Empire. Beyond that lies a greater truth, one to which the clock bears witness; one that is difficult for some to accept. The clock testifies of a community of men who have rebelled against the rule of the Creator by replacing His provision for the governance of their activity with another. This, my friend, is precisely what Independence Hall stands for. 1) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2) Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4) For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5) Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6) For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7) Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Romans 13:1-7There is no provision in Romans 13 for saints to declare independence from the British Empire. King George III was the higher power, ordained of God. If you read the Declaration of Independence with humility, the inescapable conclusion is that rebellion against the rule of King George III was rebellion against the sovereign God's appointed regent, and therefore against God's authority and God Himself! The Declaration of Independence presumes through proud and lofty language to have a mandate for such action as was subsequently taken to secure such independence. " ... it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." There was no such mandate, biblically, but only in the minds of lawless and rebellious men, most of them Freemasons, deceived and deceivers. According to Albert G. Mackey, on page 374 of the "Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Part 1," you may read about the cornerstone for the State House (Later known as Independence Hall) being laid by Benjamin Franklin during his administration as Grand Master, with the Brethren of Philadelphia's St. John's Lodge, Libre B. I must emphasize the need to honestly read the witness of the clock on Independence Hall so we're not deceived. America runs on Babylon time, which is GMT. How is that independent from the British Empire? Understand about the Liberty Bell. These icons of America declare its independence from our Creator while declaring its idolatrous dependence upon the gods of Babylon. Consider this statement from usgovinfo.about.com. "No matter how much we argue about the details of its meaning today, in the opinion of many, the Constitution signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787 represents the greatest expression of statesmanship and compromise ever written. In just four hand-written pages, the Constitution gives us no less than the owners' manual to the greatest form of government the world has ever known." Constitution Day To that I say shame on us if we buy into that bold and wickedly foolish rejection of the Creator's authority and governance. Have you read Is Your God American? and been convicted by it? Those whose god is American are idolators. The time has come to repent of this and all idolatry. The time has come. This is my firm conviction. See also The Judgment Has Begun by Joseph Herrin (09-17-2010)

Freedom Tower ("One World" Trade Center) set to be finished Dec 21, 2012. Some incredible facts with this architecture tells much.
• "Freedom Tower is the colloquial name for the One World Trade Center building which is currently under construction and scheduled to be completed around about Dec 21, 2012."
• 33 Architects designed it.
The building of this structure, since its public inception, has had me conspiratorial from the jump. Everything about this structure, the timeline, the architecture...everything... reeks of illuminati/masons.
• The point marked Freedom Tower in the image from google earth has the following coordinates which you can easily verify:
• Latitude 40.713°
• Longitude -74.013°
• Decimal longitudes west of the prime meridian are negative and those east of it are positive. Adding the latitude and longitude values we get:
• 40.713°-74.013°=-33.300°
I suggest you pull out your calculator and verify this.
• Freedom Tower will be the tallest building in the United States at 1776 feet including its mast. July 4th, 1776 was of course the date the Declaration of Independence was signed. Also, May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria) as the Order of the Illuminati, with an initial membership of five, by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt, who was the first lay professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt.[3] The movement was made up of freethinkers as an offshoot of the Enlightenment, and seems to have been modeled on the Freemasons.
• The pyramidion on top of the Transamerica Pyramid lights up on July 4th. July 4th is also Aphelion, the day the Earth is farthest from the Sun.
• Dr. Mark Gray pointed out that the upper part of the building’s form is known to mathematicians as a square anti-prism. The square anti-prism is also known as the anticube. That’s interesting because the full form of the building is an anticube sitting on an cube, as above so below, as if reflected in a symbolic mirror. If prisms split light into a diversity of colors then the antiprism symbolically sucks up all colors of light. Back to the light bearer, or E Pluribus Unum (out of many, one) if you will.
• The building is to be complete by Dec 21, 2012 but will not be occupied until early 2013. For masonic ritual, it must be built by this date.
Also as a side note: September 11, 1776 -- A peace conference is held on Staten Island with British Admiral, Lord Richard Howe, meeting American representatives including John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. The conference fails as Howe demands the colonists revoke the Declaration of Independence.

The Clock Tower on the $100 Dollar Bill is Eternally Stopped at the Moment of 2:22
The back of the 100 dollar bill shows an image of Independence Hall.
The Independence Hall clock-time is stopped at exactly 2:22
If this time of 2:22 stands for a date, could it be the day that the clock on Independence hall stops ticking? Or by extension, the date when America “stops ticking”?
If 2:22 signifies a date, I believe it was 11/22, or November 22nd, 2009. Although February 22nd (2/22) could be the most obvious date symbolized in 2:22, it is 11/22, which is the most likely date to equate with the end of America, as this would make more sense to those trying to conceal it’s meaning:
If both clock-hands were minute-hands,
the time would literally read as 11:22
(Roman-Numeral II even looks-like an 11).
2:22 translated into roman numerals could be rendered as II:II:II
II : II : II
11 : 11 : 11
1+1 : 1+1 : 1+1
2:2:2
2:22
1+1:11+11
11:22
11/22
The Ultimate 11:11 Date:
11/22/2009
11/11+11/2+0+0+9
11/11+11/11
But what would have to happen in America to stop the clock in the tower from ticking? And how would someone know this decades or-more before such a date?
Well, since this cypher is printed on the U.S. money, it seems logical that it signifies the financial end of the American Dollar’s power. Although the economy has been in a holding-pattern since 11/22/2009, that date was the defacto death of the dollar as a monetary unit. On 11/22/09, it ceased to be the base-currency of the global economy, as numerous nations withdrew from their dollar-holdings during that week, and switched to the Euro.
If you suspect that this economic collapse did not happen by accident, you are not alone.

LA VIUDA PIDE JUSTICIA
Lucas
18:1 También les refirió Jesús una parábola sobre la necesidad de orar siempre, y no desmayar,
18:2 diciendo: Había en una ciudad un juez, que ni temía a Dios, ni respetaba a hombre.
18:3 Había también en aquella ciudad una viuda, la cual venía a él, diciendo: Hazme justicia de mi adversario.
18:4 Y él no quiso por algún tiempo; pero después de esto dijo dentro de sí: Aunque ni temo a Dios, ni tengo respeto a hombre,
18:5 sin embargo, porque esta viuda me es molesta, le haré justicia, no sea que viniendo de continuo, me agote la paciencia.
18:6 Y dijo el Señor: Oíd lo que dijo el juez injusto.
18:7 ¿Y acaso Dios no hará justicia a sus escogidos, que claman a él día y noche? ¿Se tardará en responderles?
18:8 Os digo que pronto les hará justicia. Pero cuando venga el Hijo del Hombre, ¿hallará fe en la tierra?
55. Mateo 23:14: ¡Ay de vosotros, escribas y fariseos, hipócritas! porque devoráis las casas de las VIUDAs, y como pretexto hacéis largas oraciones; por esto recibiréis mayor condenación.
56. Marcos 12:40: que devoran las casas de las VIUDAs, y por pretexto hacen largas oraciones. Estos recibirán mayor condenación.
65. Lucas 20:47: que devoran las casas de las VIUDAs, y por pretexto hacen largas oraciones; éstos recibirán mayor condenación.
¿"Devoran la casas de las viudas" no es una alusion a que devoran la casa/linaje de la viuda? ¿Porque Jesucristo incluso relaciona la viuda con JUAN MARCOS en Hechos 12:12?
1. Hechos 12:12: Y habiendo considerado esto, llegó a casa de María la madre de Juan, el que tenía por sobrenombre MARCOS, donde muchos estaban reunidos orando.
Es obvio que MARIA LA MADRE DE JUAN ES LA VIUDA.
¿PORQUE SE RELACIONA LA VIUDA CON LA EXPULSION DE LOS MERCADERES DEL TEMPLO? ¿HAY UNA CONSPIRACION CONTRA LA VIUDA? ¿QUE PIENSA USTED?
1. Isaías 56:7: yo los llevaré a mi santo monte, y los recrearé en mi casa de oración; sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptos sobre mi altar; porque mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todos los pueblos.
2. Mateo 21:13: y les dijo: Escrito está: Mi casa, casa de oración será llamada; mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.
3. Marcos 11:17: Y les enseñaba, diciendo: ¿No está escrito: Mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todas las naciones? Mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.
4. Lucas 19:46: diciéndoles: Escrito está: Mi casa es casa de oración; mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.

Ezequiel
29:1 En el año décimo, en el mes décimo, a los doce días del mes, vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
29:2 Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro contra Faraón rey de Egipto, y profetiza contra él y contra todo Egipto.
29:3 Habla, y di: Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: He aquí yo estoy contra ti, Faraón rey de Egipto, el gran dragón que yace en medio de sus ríos, el cual dijo: Mío es el Nilo, pues yo lo hice.
29:4 Yo, pues, pondré garfios en tus quijadas, y pegaré los peces de tus ríos a tus escamas, y te sacaré de en medio de tus ríos, y todos los peces de tus ríos saldrán pegados a tus escamas.
29:5 Y te dejaré en el desierto a ti y a todos los peces de tus ríos; sobre la faz del campo caerás; no serás recogido, ni serás juntado; a las fieras de la tierra y a las aves del cielo te he dado por comida.
29:6 Y sabrán todos los moradores de Egipto que yo soy Jehová, por cuanto fueron báculo de caña a la casa de Israel.
29:7 Cuando te tomaron con la mano, te quebraste, y les rompiste todo el hombro; y cuando se apoyaron en ti, te quebraste, y les rompiste sus lomos enteramente.
29:8 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: He aquí que yo traigo contra ti espada, y cortaré de ti hombres y bestias.
29:9 Y la tierra de Egipto será asolada y desierta, y sabrán que yo soy Jehová; por cuanto dijo: El Nilo es mío, y yo lo hice.
29:10 Por tanto, he aquí yo estoy contra ti, y contra tus ríos; y pondré la tierra de Egipto en desolación, en la soledad del desierto, desde Migdol hasta Sevene, hasta el límite de Etiopía.
29:11 No pasará por ella pie de hombre, ni pie de animal pasará por ella, ni será habitada, por cuarenta años.
29:12 Y pondré a la tierra de Egipto en soledad entre las tierras asoladas, y sus ciudades entre las ciudades destruidas estarán desoladas por cuarenta años; y esparciré a Egipto entre las naciones, y lo dispersaré por las tierras.
29:13 Porque así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Al fin de cuarenta años recogeré a Egipto de entre los pueblos entre los cuales fueren esparcidos;
29:14 y volveré a traer los cautivos de Egipto, y los llevaré a la tierra de Patros, a la tierra de su origen; y allí serán un reino despreciable.
29:15 En comparación con los otros reinos será humilde; nunca más se alzará sobre las naciones; porque yo los disminuiré, para que no vuelvan a tener dominio sobre las naciones.
29:16 Y no será ya más para la casa de Israel apoyo de confianza, que les haga recordar el pecado de mirar en pos de ellos; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová el Señor.
29:17 Aconteció en el año veintisiete en el mes primero, el día primero del mes, que vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
29:18 Hijo de hombre, Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia hizo a su ejército prestar un arduo servicio contra Tiro. Toda cabeza ha quedado calva, y toda espalda desollada; y ni para él ni para su ejército hubo paga de Tiro, por el servicio que prestó contra ella.
29:19 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor; He aquí que yo doy a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, la tierra de Egipto; y él tomará sus riquezas, y recogerá sus despojos, y arrebatará botín, y habrá paga para su ejército.
29:20 Por su trabajo con que sirvió contra ella le he dado la tierra de Egipto; porque trabajaron para mí, dice Jehová el Señor.
29:21 En aquel tiempo haré retoñar el poder de la casa de Israel. Y abriré tu boca en medio de ellos, y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.

Hayom Yom: Tevet 12
In 5648 (1887) my father was elected gabai (an official) of the Chevra Kadisha.1 As was customary he was led on Simchat Torah in procession to the shul accompanied by a throng. At that time he said the maamar beginning "Ein H.B.H. ba bitrunya." The conclusion was: Even the great minds who are here must lay aside their intellects and not be ruled by their reason and knowledge, for they are susceptible to being misguided by their intellect to the point that their end may be a bitter one. The essential thing in these times of the "footsteps of Mashiach" is not to follow intellect and reason, but to fulfill Torah and mitzvot wholeheartedly, with simple faith in the G-d of Israel.

I agree with Rev Jeff lets not forget James the brother of Jesus he is very important in this whole family and let us look at the ACTIONS of the church Mary Magdalene is made a prostitute by the church Why? I never get a good answer from the clergy some say She was from the wrong town Migdal that had a bad reputation but recent archeological discoveries found at Migdal had a synagogue The Migdal Synagogue is an ancient synagogue, located in Israel on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. The synagogue was in use in the Second Temple period (50 BCE-100 CE), one of several found to date from that period and includes a carved stone representing the menorah, the seven-branched candelabrum that was located in the Temple, making it the oldest such representation in a Jewish context and one that appears to have been made by an individual who had seen the Menorah in the Temple.[1] It is one of the Oldest synagogues in Israel. The historic synagogue was discovered in 2009 during a salvage dig conducted by Dr. Dina Avshalom-Gorni of the Israel Antiquities Authority at the location of a new hotel at Migdal Beach, the site of ancient Magdala.[1] Magdala was a fishing town that was mentioned in Jewish documents of the period as a major site during the First Jewish–Roman War (66CE–73CE) at the time of the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE and is also mentioned in Christian texts as the home community of Mary Magdalene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migdal_SynagogueSo Magdala had its own synagogue ... Now why would the church go out of its way to make her a prostitute? Saint Luke blandly writes, in chapter 8, verses 2-3 of his Gospel, that the women “were assisting (the men) out of their means.” I guess women could only make money one way? Or was it disturbing that women should own property? Maybe they use this to explain her wealth? And yet Saint James and Magdalene were very hot spots for the Pilgrims to visit their sites The church just couldn't deal with the fact that Jesus was a man He was Divine and that meant no sex no marriage and no kids Peter on the other hand had a wife so I guess marriage was ok for Peter and Ok with Jesus but really do they follow what Jesus says (hey he is only Divine) Nope later the Church changed that Celibacy is the way to heaven of course the Popes Bishops and Priests had their mistresses and children the rules are for the sheep but not the shepherds the fact stands the Church went out of their way to make her a prostitute and they had a damn good reason to ...they didn't want any legitimate children coming from the Holy family and that included Saint James and anybody else in the Holy Family cousins aunts uncles the Council of Nicea told them they were getting written out of the story ...and the word was ...silence them Jesus predicted it when he told the weeping women that better the wombs be barren ... because that is what they wanted No children from the Holy Family (that includes Jesus sisters brothers and cousins ) You can almost use the story and put the Templars in it...they were killed off and written out Its so sad to see your own religion out to destroy you and portray you as evil just to get your wealth and that you might know a little too much for your own good |

Migdal David, Jerusalem's citadel, was first built by Herod the Great more than 2,000 years ago. The fortress has served throughout the centuries as Jerusalem's primary defense against any attack from the north and the west, the city's defensive weak points.
Migdal ...tower ...yes Bill I see your point
but I think it also means Migdal home of one of Israel's oldest synagogues
in the town of Magdala
Magdala was a fishing town that was mentioned in Jewish documents of the period as a major site during the First Jewish–Roman War (66CE–73CE) at the time of the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE and is also mentioned in Christian texts as the home community of Mary Magdalene.[2]
The synagogue is located in Migdal (‘Magdala’ in Aramaic
Migdal played an important role during the Great Revolt
so if you look at Tarot cards
the Tower
A tower on a rocky outcrop, a powerful bolt of lightning, one or two figures falling from the tower, sometimes waves crashing below.
Basic Tarot Meaning
With Mars as its ruling planet, the Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth.

Babylon Revisited
Immediately following the tale of Noah's Great Flood in Genesis is the famous story about the Tower of Babel, the modern version of which was the destroyed twin towers in NYC, as explained in my previous writings.
And here, too, appears the shem, i.e. the 'gift' of the heavenly stone:
…let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a shem, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.[6]
Again, the shem is directly associated with heaven, and it is here additionally associated with the top of a tower – just as the Egyptian shem (Benben Stone) was placed at the very top of a pyramid or obelisk.
Note that the Babel story also closely parallels that of the 'fallen angels' who were punished by 'God' for overreaching. In the succeeding passage in Genesis, we similarly read that 'God' did not approve of the building of the tower and as a preventive measure he deliberately confused man's language:
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth…[7]
The term 'Babel' denotes 'confusion', which in turn relates to the word Kabalah/Kabbalah that similarly implies confusion; and, to corroborate the underlying theme, the latter also happens to denote 'that which is received', i.e. 'gift'.[8]
Now let's shift our attention to the geography of 'Babylon' - the site of the Babel tower. In the context of today's world, people have often viewed NYC and Rome/the Vatican as corresponding to the great city which is, as suggested by the biblical prophecy, destined fall in a dramatic fashion. The destruction of the WTC towers, therefore, could easily be interpreted as the beginning of the apocalyptic event (see Mystery, Babylon the Great for more detailed discourse on this subject). And the Vatican - the Church - is also experiencing a major crisis which began soon after 9-11.
In the post-9/11 era, many priests, the self-appointed mediator between God and people, have been publicly exposed to be pedophile, sexual predators, who have habitually terrorized countless innocent children. This situation is remarkably evocative of the deeds of the shadowy 'fallen angels'.
As written in Genesis, "the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men," or in other words, the angels - the mediator between God and man - had an inappropriate sexual relationship with young members of mankind.
The parallel is quite striking. And it entails the imminent destruction of the Church - because the extension of the parallel brings up the Great Flood as the next event. Since the purpose of the Flood is the total annihilation of corruption, what is implied here is the dramatic collapse of the institution of the Catholic Church. Like the 'Babylon' of the New World, then, this European counterpart is facing a religious "9-11" event.
'Babylon falling' - this seems to be one of the key themes of the current time window in history. If valid, this would mean that the original site of Babylon should be facing a similar situation.
So, where was ancient Babylon?
It was in Iraq (Mesopotamia), of course - where, today, the reign of Saddam Hussein appears to be in its final hour, due to the impending aggression from the New-World Babylon, the United States!
Presently, therefore, 'Babylon' is indeed collectively falling.
Okay, well, everything must come to an end sometime. What goes up must come down, as they say.
It is what seems to be in the process of rising, however, that is very worrying. In the shadow of all the destruction, silhouettes of dark forces are slowly emerging. And this Beast, this King of Terror, seems to be quietly moving into position in an attempt to replace the coming Age of Gold - a clean start for human civilization - with the Age of Terror.
Black Christmas
Christmas - a special time of the year, filled with joy, love... and gifts. And as the embodiment of Christmas we have Santa Claus, the 'bearer of gifts', who comes from the North Pole on a gravity-defying sled. All good boys and girls are promised a nice gift from this generous fat man in red.
Let's take another look at the message of the alien glyph:
Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. EELRIJUE. There is GOOD out there. We OPpose DECEPTION. Conduit CLOSING (BELL SOUND)
False gifts and broken promises? Could this be a subtle allusion to Santa/Christmas? Is the message warning us about some kind of coming deception by an 'anti-Santa' flying in from the South Pole on a heavily armored high-tech spacecraft, bringing with him gifts from hell to terrorize the children? Well, probably not.
But what gives some seriousness to this humorous interpretation is the December timeframe. As explained in The Message of Cycle 23 and Endgame, there are various indications that the coming December of 2002 could be an important time window for something big. Tentatively, in fact, I postulated that this window might see the exit of the Pope or the US President - both being the leader of 'Babylon'. And we can also plausibly add Iraq and Saddam, i.e. the ancient Babylon, to the list. Whatever the case, it is eerie to see how the 'alien warning' relatable to Christmas, the time of 'gifts', would nicely fit into the projected time window. There may well be something to the Christmas connection.
Does the alien glyph contain additional clues to shed some more light on the specific nature of the potential 'anti-Santa' event? Could there be subtle information encoded there regarding the identity of the 'anti-Santa' figure?
The answer, unfortunately, is yes. I say 'unfortunately' because this is where things begin to get very sinister and uncomfortably plausible.

The 'Tower' part of Berg's job/company is also suspiciously relevant. Mary Magdalene, as a form of Venus-Isis/Sirius-Lucifer, is very much part of the Time Code themes underlying this period of May and beyond. And the name 'Magdalene' can denote... 'tower'. In particular it is relatable to the Tower of Babel as explained in the article.
The Babel tower in the Bible represents mankind working as one using one language. God, seeing this, went down to earth and confused man's language - as a result they could no longer communicate well with each other. So the Tower of Babel has much to do with the idea of 'communication', just as Nick Berg's job specifically involved communication towers.

Nic thanks for your infinite patience with me and everybody else You have to think the churches may have communicated through the fires in the old days Why I'm confused is the last sentence in this article http://www.rlcresearch.com/2008/08/30/tour-magdala/He says that through the trefoil you see the peak of Cardou and did he misspell it So Davinho if you have time next month take a peak at the peak and let's see if the article is correct The other interesting part of the trefoil would be the SUN Does the Sun set and does a light sign through it? Where does it go? Or is it a sun rise? The Interesting thing is the trefoil is called the clubs in playing cards [imghttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ee/Medieval_Gambling_Cards_c._1377.jpg][/img] Now this is interesting The trèfle (club) was probably derived from the acorn The cards had names if we go with the clubs the King of Clubs was Alexander the Great The Queen of clubs which would fit being on top of the Tower of Magdala Argine (possibly an anagram of regina, which is Latin for queen, or perhaps Argea, wife of Polybus and mother of Argus) Here is the beautiful tale of Argea [bThe Seven Against Thebes set out to battle against the army of Thebes headed by Eteocles. Polynices and Eteocles killed each other in a fight among themselves in the ensuing battle. Argia set out with others to find her beloved husband among the many lying rotting in the battlefield, in spite of a decree by King Creon forbidding such, on pain of capital punishment. She searched until she found him. Argia tried to revive him with kisses and tears, however all her efforts were in vain. She then had his body cremated and placed the ashes in an urn. Her virtuous acts showed the genuine love she had for her husband.[/b] Magdalene tears and looking for Christ and her carrying the urn Similar story Sauniere considered her a Queen and he built her a castle A small connection to Rosslyn Chapel...a coincidence On the roof of Tour of Magdala at Rennes Chateau is the Trefoil or in playing cards the CLUB On the roof of Roslyn chapel where the steeples are is one steeple filled with CLUBS (Trefoil) Thing is that on the steeples at Roslyn is all the symbols of the four suits Diamonds Hearts and Spades I call it the House of Chance or House of Destiny I took the picture of the steeple at Roslyn [imghttp://www.ufodigest.com/sites/default/files/Rossalyn%20Chapel_0114.jpg][/img] Argea is the Queen of clubs but then Magdalene could represent the Queen of Clubs as well as Isis

Torre de Pisa
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
La Torre de Pisa o Torre inclinada de Pisa (en italiano: Torre pendente di Pisa) es el campanario de la Catedral de Pisa. Fue construida para que permaneciera en posición vertical pero comenzó a inclinarse tan pronto como se inició su construcción en agosto de 1173. La altura de la torre es de 55,7 a 55,8 metros desde la base, su peso se estima en 14.700 toneladas y la inclinación de unos 4° extendiéndose 3,9 m de la vertical. La torre tiene 8 niveles: una base de arcos ciegos con 15 columnas, seis niveles con una columnata externa y remata en un campanario. La escalera interna en espiral tiene 294 escalones. La torre está ubicada en Pisa, que es un municipio de la región italiana de la Toscana y es la capital de la homónima provincia.
El gobierno de Italia solicitó ayuda el 27 de febrero de 1964 para prevenir su derrumbe, y el 7 de enero de 1990 fue cerrada al público como medida de seguridad. En mayo de 2008, después de la eliminación de otras 70 toneladas métricas (77 toneladas cortas) de tierra, los ingenieros de la Torre anunciaron que se había estabilizado de tal forma que había dejado de moverse por primera vez en su historia. Se indicó que iba a ser estable durante al menos 200 años. Se volvió a permitir la entrada al público el 16 de junio de 2001, después de la finalización de 10 años de trabajo. ( Escuchar el sonido de las campanas.).
La construcción de la Torre de Pisa se desarrolló en tres etapas durante un período de 177 años. La construcción de la primera planta de mármol comenzó el 8 de agosto de 1173, en un periodo de éxito militar y prosperidad. La primera planta está rodeada de pilares con capiteles clásicos y arcos ciegos.
Existe controversia sobre la identidad del arquitecto: durante muchos años el diseño se atribuyó a Guglielmo y Bonanno Pisano, un artista conocido residente en Pisa en el siglo XII, famoso por sus piezas de bronce fundido, particularmente en el Pisa Duomo. Bonanno Pisano dejó Pisa en 1185 y marchó a Monreale, Sicilia, regresando solo tras su muerte. Su sarcófago fue descubierto al pie de la torre en 1820.
Después de que se construyera la tercera planta en 1178, la torre se inclinó hacia el norte, debido a unos cimientos débiles (tres metros), en un subsuelo inestable. El diseño de esta torre era imperfecto desde su comienzo y su construcción cesó durante un siglo, debido a las guerras entre los pisanos y los estados vecinos. Este lapso permitió al suelo asentarse, de otro modo la torre se habría derrumbado.
En 1272 la construcción fue retomada por Fernando Di Vincenzo, arquitecto autor del camposanto. Se añadieron entonces cuatro nuevas plantas las que fueron construidas con cierto ángulo con objeto de contrarrestar la inclinación. La construcción se detuvo nuevamente en 1284 tras la derrota de Pisa por parte de los genoveses en la batalla de Meloria.
Sólo en 1372 Tommasso di Andrea Pisano construyó la última planta (el campanario) y las campanas fueron instaladas. Se considera que su intervención combina armónicamente los elementos góticos del campanario con el estilo románico de la torre. Las campanas son siete, correspondiendo cada una a una nota de la escala musical; la mayor de ellas fue instalada en 1655. Sin embargo, tras la conclusión del campanario, la torre empezó a inclinarse, esta vez hacia el sur.
Panorámica de la catedral románica de Pisa con el baptisterio, el duomo, el camposanto y el campanile en 1909.
Se dice que Galileo Galilei dejó caer dos balas de cañón de diferente masa desde la torre para demostrar que la velocidad de descenso era independiente de la masa. La historia, aunque descrita por un estudiante del propio Galileo, se considera un mito.
Unos pocos años después de finalizada la torre el daño en su estructura se hizo manifiesto y muchos de los elementos de piedra originales realizados en mármol de San Giuliano fueron sustituidos, cambiándose por mármol blanco de Carrara.
Alessandro Della Gherardesca excavó un camino alrededor de la torre para hacer visible la base. Esto causó una inundación de la base y de nuevo un incremento de su inclinación.
El 27 de febrero de 1964, el gobierno de Italia pidió ayuda para prevenir la caída de la torre. Un conjunto de ingenieros, matemáticos e historiadores se asignó al proyecto y debatieron sobre los métodos de estabilización en las Islas Azores. Tras dos décadas de trabajo, la torre fue cerrada al público en enero de 1990.
Después de una década de esfuerzos de reconstrucción y estabilización, la torre fue reabierta al público el 15 de diciembre de 2001. Muchos métodos se propusieron para estabilizar la torre, incluyendo añadir 800 toneladas métricas de plomo de contrapeso. La solución final para corregir la inclinación fue eliminar 38 m³ de tierra de la zona inferior a la base. La torre ha sido declarada estable para al menos otros 200 años:
Las labores de consolidación han permitido que la inclinación sea la que tenía en 1700, 3,99 metros.

Suplemento 1
María Magdalena, ¿Meretriz o Reina?
El Color Escarlata
Desde sus orígenes la iglesia cristiana nos ha enseñado que el Josué hijo de Nun del Antiguo Testamento era un "tipo" o "figura" de Jesús. Josué no sólo le prestó su nombre a Jesús, sino que también le proporcionó un plan general para la salvación y el establecimiento de una nación bajo Dios. Teniendo en cuenta la importancia de Josué como modelo de Cristo, entonces es justo preguntar: ¿Hubo una mujer importante en la época de Josué, y tuvo ella una contrapartida en la vida de Jesús como se cuenta en los Evangelios?
En el Libro de Josué (capítulo 2), el héroe Josué envía dos espías al otro lado del Jordán para visitar específicamente Jericó. Tras entrar en la ciudad, buscan inmediatamente a una mujer llamada Rahab, la cual es referida repetidamente y en términos inciertos como una ramera. Esta aparente distracción de los hombres parecería que podría en peligro su misión, pero en cambio se volvió beneficiosa para Israel. Esta mujer, Rahab, demuestra ser una informadora muy valiosa, y también ayuda a los hombres a escapar después de que fueran descubiertos. En recompensa por estos servicios, Rahab y su familia son perdonados después cuando Josué toma la ciudad y pasa a cuchillo a todo bicho viviente.
Esta es la última vez que oímos hablar de Rahab en el Antiguo Testamento, por lo que es bastante inesperado encontrarla mencionada no sólo en el primer libro y en el primer capítulo del Nuevo Testamento (Mateo 1), sino también identificada ahí como una antepasada del rey David. Podríamos preguntar ahora: ¿Por qué se haría explícita en los Evangelios la maternidad de Rahab y su contribución al "hilo escarlata" de la realeza mesiánica? Esta mención deliberada y aparentemente innecesaria de Rahab en el Nuevo Testamento nos obliga a echar una nueva ojeada a la muy detallada historia de Rahab en el Antiguo Testamento. Como consecuencia, nos enteraremos de que el precedente del Antiguo Testamento referente al "perdón" de Rahab por parte de Josué fue fielmente reproducido en la figura del Nuevo Testamento de María Magdalena. Esto es, para que todo lo que se escribió sobre Jesús en el Antiguo Testamento se "cumpliera" tuvo que estar, entre otras muchas cosas, afiliado íntimamente con una mujer denigrada intencionadamente como una ramera.
Hay un número de obvias indicaciones en el libro de Josué que demuestran que la descripción de Rahab como una ramera es tan sólo un ardid. Para empezar, el nombre de Rahab era un epíteto cuidadosamente elegido, y como el de Josué ("Dios salva"), simbolizaba una función señalada, al igual que los nombres de otros tantos personajes bíblicos. En otra parte del Antiguo Testamento, el nombre de Rahab ("orgullo, beligerancia, engrandecimiento") es utilizado para representar a Egipto, el dominio tradicional del dios-sol Ra. Se aplica también a las ilimitadas profundidades acuosas (heb. tehom) de la creación que fueron divididas por YHWH para formar la tierra seca. De forma similar, en la epopeya babilónica de la creación, los océanos están personificados por la "resplandeciente" diosa Tiamat, la cual es descrita además como "rebelde" y "orgullosa." Tiamat anteriormente había dado a luz a los dioses, pero después, encolerizada por su consorte Kingu (asociado a la luna), decidió matar a sus divinos hijos.
En respuesta, el dios Marduk (asociado diversamente al sol, Marte, Júpiter o a algún cuerpo gravitatorio destructivo) involucró a Tiamat (Tehom/Rahab) en la batalla y la partió en dos. Sus agitadas aguas fueron así transformadas desde una amenaza imprevisible en mares tranquilos bajo un buen cielo. Además, Marduk derrotó al instigador Kingu y utilizó su sangre para formar a la humanidad. Por asociación, la Rahab de Jericó se revela no sólo como una gran reina sino también como una mujer que representaba una amenaza mortal para Josué y los israelitas. Es más, se la relaciona específicamente con la corte real de Egipto, de la cual habían huido anteriormente Josué, Moisés y los israelitas.
Nuestra Señora de Jericó no vive ni trabaja en un estrecho callejón, sino en una elevada torre construida sobre la muralla de la ciudad. Rahab, por lo tanto, ocupa un elemento crítico de las defensas de la ciudad. Tal torre sería un lugar privilegiado y adecuado para las habitaciones de una reina, y no para una prostituta común. Es más, si bien los guardias de Rahab sospecharon la presencia de espías, el rey de Jericó se abstiene de acusarla de traición, y no registra su residencia. En cambio, Rahab le habla directamente al rey y con completa impunidad. El rey incluso acepta sus sugerencias, o deberíamos decir malos consejos. Por exigencia de ella, el rey de Jericó envía un contingente para perseguir después a los espías, pero estos se hallan todavía con Rahab y están escondidos en el terrado de su suite. Al caer la noche se escapan, al estilo de Rapunzel, por una ventana de la torre y utilizando una cuerda proporcionada por Rahab. Ella incluso les enseña a los hombres cómo evitar ser detectados en el campo para que puedan volver a salvo ante Josué con la información que ella misma les ha dado.
En el camino hacia Jericó desde su campamento de Sitim (que significa "Acacia," por sus afiladas espinas), Josué (a la manera del YHWH bíblico y de Marduk-Ra) divide las aguas del Jordán y los israelitas lo cruzan sobre tierra seca. Durante siete días el ejército de Josué desfila alrededor de Jericó, y en el séptimo día desfila siete veces alrededor de la ciudad. Esto habría ofrecido el tiempo y la distracción necesarios para que Rahab (y los que estaban bajo su propio control) debilitaran las defensas de la ciudad. Tras completar la séptima y última fase en el séptimo y último día, Josué da la señal para una larga carga de trompetas. En este mismo momento se sigue que Rahab dirigió una cacofonía de piedras derrumbándose. La muralla de Jericó "se derrumbó," esto es, se desplomó bajo su propio peso debido a su debilitamiento o a la presión interna. Jericó no fue conquistada tanto por el rey Josué desde fuera, sino por la reina Rahab desde dentro.
Como muestra de su inmunidad diplomática, Rahab colgó un "hilo escarlata" por fuera de una ventana - quizás la misma ventana por la cual había lanzado antes una cuerda para que la utilizaran los espías. El color escarlata era el color de la realeza y es otra pista obvia de la alta posición de Rahab como reina. Por lo tanto, si la reina Rahab tenía algún negocio sería la fabricación de cuerdas y textiles, porque sobre la terraza de su torre había grandes cantidades del valioso lino procesado. El lino fue utilizado para hacer no sólo la cuerda que salvó a los hombres de Josué, sino también la tela roja de lino que la protegió contra el daño cuando Josué atacó la ciudad. Cuando acabó este sangriento conflicto, el poder de Jericó (un topónimo derivado de la palabra hebrea para "luna") sobre Rahab quedó roto, y decayó cualquier hostilidad anterior hacia Josué. Su antiguo protector, el rey de Jericó, fue también "sacrificado" en la creación de Israel, así como Kingu lo había sido en la creación de la humanidad.
La Boda de Canaán
Mucho se ha dicho de Moisés poniendo el "manto" (de la realeza) sobre Josué hijo de Nun. Aunque parezca extraño, sin embargo, la sucesión de Josué ni se menciona siquiera más adelante. En lugar de eso tenemos la impresión de que con la muerte de Josué no se reconoció a ningún rey en Israel hasta Saúl y después David. Entretanto, los israelitas "hicieron lo que bien les parecía" y fueron más o menos gobernados por "jueces." En el Antiguo Testamento, los predecesores del rey David son nombrados como Isaí, Obed, Booz, Salmón y Naasón. Solamente en el Libro de Mateo se identifica a la "ramera" Rahab de Jericó como la madre de Booz. Armados con esta nueva información sobre Rahab, podemos adelantar audazmente que el manto o la herencia pasó desde Josué hijo de Nun a Naasón hijo de Salmón. Sin embargo, el nombre hebreo de Salmón (también escrito como Sala) significa literalmente "manto" y la raíz sal connota "salvación." Por lo tanto, se puede decir alto y claro que Salmón hijo de Naasón fue más comúnmente referido como Josué hijo de Nun. El nombre de Nun también se escribe como Non y en consecuencia era una forma corta de Naasón.
Si Josué y Salmón eran dos epítetos de la misma persona, entonces se sigue que Rahab se convirtió en la esposa de Josué y Josué en el padre de Booz. De hecho, se nos dice en el libro de Josué (6:25) que Rahab "habitó entre los israelitas" después de la conquista de Josué. La palabra hebrea traducida como "habitar" (yashab) se puede traducir también como "casarse." Sin embargo, si el héroe Josué hubiera sido el antepasado directo del rey David, entonces ¿por qué no habría sido este hecho registrado del todo y celebrado? Primero de todo, el matrimonio (o matrimonios) anterior de Rahab hizo que su boda con Josué fuera vista como algo menos que legítima ante los ojos de los israelitas. Quizás fuera más preocupante el hecho de que el futuro heredero Booz pudiera no ser un descendiente verdadero de Josué, sino un hijo nacido de Rahab y engendrado por un esposo anterior, esto es, ¡un hijo de un rey rival o extranjero que Josué solamente hubiera adoptado! En tercer lugar, la misma Rahab pudo haber sido considerada una no israelita, y una odiada reina egipcia en ese respecto.
La palabra hebrea para ramera, zonah (pronunciado zoná), hace un ingenioso juego de palabras con el término hebreo para reina, esto es, sarah (pronunciado sará). Tanto antes como después de que su nombre fuera cambiado desde Sarai ("dominadora") a Sara, la esposa-hermana del patriarca Abram también se encontraba en una posición comprometida y su reputación en un considerable peligro. Mientras trataba de quedarse embarazada, fue llevada primero al harem de un faraón de Egipto y después al de un rey de los filisteos en Canaán. En consecuencia, Sara, al igual que Rahab, estuvo sujeta a una doble norma estereotipada y prominente de su tiempo. Las mujeres de cuna común eran consideradas como propiedad de sus esposos y podían ser castigadas con la muerte si cometían adulterio. Por otra parte, las mujeres regias (tales como Sara y Rahab) emularon a las grandes diosas en su libertad sexual e igualdad virtual con los dioses.
Como Isis en Egipto, Inanna e Ishtar en Mesopotamia, y Asera en Canaán, las mujeres de alta cuna eran en realidad animadas a buscar y tener hijos de múltiples parejas - con o sin la cobertura del matrimonio. En el Egipto de Rahab, una reina principal era designada como "Esposa del Dios." Podía tener numerosos hijos ("nacimientos sagrados") de varios reyes ("dioses") y todavía ser considerada una virgen. Sin embargo, fuera del contexto de la corte real, se creía que estas señoras no eran más que prostitutas, y los autores bíblicos con frecuencia encontraban un artificio conveniente para modelarlas como tales.
Redimiendo a la Magdalena
El epíteto de Magdalena tiene el significado hebreo de "torre." En virtud de esta deslumbradora alusión al precedente del Antiguo Testamento, el matrimonio entre Jesús y María Magdalena no sólo debe ser sospechado sino también completamente esperado. Así como Jesús sigue el modelo de Josué, así María Magdalena es encasillada como la encarnación de Rahab. Consistente con esto, María Magdalena ("María de la Torre") debe ser rescatada por Jesús al igual que Rahab lo fue por Josué. Josué desfila alrededor de la ciudad de Jericó siete veces. Igualmente, María Magdalena es liberada de la influencia de siete "malos espíritus." Esto es, antes de convertirse en la discípula, protectora, y especialmente en la novia de Cristo, primero tenía que divorciarse de un buen número de obstáculos, sin ser el menor de los cuales un "mal matrimonio." Josué mata al rey de Jericó y libera a Rahab. Por lo tanto por asociación, Jesús debe matar, al menos figuradamente, a los que quisieron confinar a María Magdalena en una torre, esto es, negar su poder comprometiéndola con los actuales señores supremos de la tierra.
Irónicamente, la tan criticada unión con María Magdalena sirvió en realidad para hacer que la pretensión mesiánica de Jesús fuera más legítima desde el punto de vista de las Escrituras. La tradición sostenía que el regio Josué se casara con una ramera, o al menos con una mujer que hubiese asumido el carácter literario de una. Y éste es el contexto en el cual debemos considerar la descripción de María Magdalena. Como ocurría con su arquetipo Rahab del Antiguo Testamento, María Magdalena en realidad habría pertenecido a la más alta situación social, habría sido una verdadera "reina" y "diosa" dentro de la sociedad judía del momento. Y como Rahab, la verdadera posición de María Magdalena es minimizada en las Escrituras pero no suprimida del todo. Su riqueza e influencia no sólo eran provechosas para Jesús, sino que en realidad eran una parte necesaria de su perfil profético que necesitaba ser documentado. Por otra parte, su distinción de clase a su vez revela la del mismo Jesús.
Rahab es la segunda de cuatro mujeres enumeradas en la genealogía de Jesucristo (sin incluir a su madre), pero es la más importante por lo que concierne a la presentación del Evangelio. Es la única mujer relacionada con Josué hijo de Nun, sobrenombre de Jesús, y a un tipo de "esposa secreta." Para crear efecto, Rahab también es colocada en compañía de otras tres mujeres que eran famosas por su asertividad, Rut, Tamar, y Betsabé. Fueron elegidas debido a que, de todas las mujeres del Antiguo Testamento, ellas junto con Rahab conquistaron más o menos el corazón y la misión de María Magdalena. En diversos grados las cuatro "representaron a la ramera" para mejorar su satisfacción conyugal y el bienestar de sus hijos. Por tomar esta ceremoniosa iniciativa, cada una se arriesgó a llevar el doloroso estigma del adulterio. Finalmente todas fueron recompensadas con una mayor posición en el curso de sus vidas y reconocidas con posteridad como integrantes de la línea mesiánica.
La maternidad de Rahab sólo se hace explícita en los Evangelios con el fin de explicar a los que tenían "oídos para oír" porqué los creyentes no debían pregonar a los cuatro vientos las buenas noticias del matrimonio de Jesús junto con su mensaje de salvación. Había muy buenas razones para ocultar la vida familiar de Jesús bajo un velo, y esto también respetaba el precedente. El matrimonio de Josué y Rahab está disimulado en el Antiguo Testamento. Además, después de Josué y Rahab se percibe un periodo de latencia o incubación de los "jueces" antes del advenimiento de una renovada realeza nativa en Israel bajo el rey David. Una vez más esto proporcionó un modelo a seguir para Jesús y su círculo interno. En un corto plazo, los sucesores mesiánicos de Jesús necesitarían preservar su plan y cultivar entre las masas la creencia en Jesús. Sin embargo, en unas pocas generaciones se esperaría que emergiera de esta línea mesiánica una figura davídica, y a la manera de tanto David como de Josué, él y su ejército de celosos seguidores "cogerían la espada" y "tomarían el reino por la fuerza."
Se utiliza una considerable subestimación y retorcimiento en el relato de Rahab del Libro de Josué. Aun así, su realeza (y por tanto también la de Josué) puede ser fácilmente reconocida por los seudónimos y símbolos magistralmente tejidos como suele serlo en la urdimbre bíblica. Este estilo narrativo inspiró los posteriores relatos del Evangelio, en los cuales una línea regia puesta en peligro se revela de nuevo no sólo en Jesús sino que también vuelve a ser disimulada a los que no estén del todo iniciados en los "misterios" de la nueva religión. El Cristianismo fue desde su concepción puesto en el mundo como una espada de doble filo.
El hecho de que María Magdalena esté fuertemente encasillada en los Evangelios como Rahab es una prueba segura de que los dirigentes privilegiados de comienzos de la Iglesia Cristiana reconocían completamente su función como madre de una nueva casa gobernante. A saber, la base para esta función está fácilmente establecida en las Escrituras de por sí canonizadas. Si Jesús pretendió ser un mesías para acabar con todos los mesías, entonces no habría habido ningún motivo en mencionar incluso a Rahab, o Tamar, Rut y Betsabé por este asunto en la genealogía de Cristo. Sin embargo, ahí están, y con la comprensión de que Jesús tenía una esposa regia viene el conocimiento de que también tenía una agenda política subyacente. Por lo tanto, la Rahab del Antiguo Testamento representa a la querida "Novia de Cristo" del Nuevo Testamento en más de un sentido. Ella prefigura el cuerpo de los creyentes que debían ser "salvados" y "santificados" por Jesús, pero más tangiblemente anuncia el comienzo de María Magdalena como la mujer liberada de Cristo y de un dispuesto cómplice en la intriga dinástica.

The Tower of the Magdalene (Tour Magdela) is reached by two sets of 11 steps (22). An anomalous floor tile points up a spiral stair case with 22 steps where a single window points unambiguously at a grotto whose ancient place name is 'Grotte du Fournet - dite de la Magdeleine', which translates as 'The Burial Site of the Mary Magdalene', and which is offset from the window by 22 degrees.
Hi lovuian - This is the anomalous tile, with the red dot that Nic referred to. Apologies for the glare on the photo. It's the only one like it in there, and points to the staircase up to the roof, as it says in the article. I can't imagine why.
