In Assyrian asirtu, which appears also under the forms asrātu, esrēti (plural) and asru, had the further signification of “sanctuary.” Originally Asirtu, the wife of Asir, and asirtu, “sanctuary,” seem to have had no connection with one another, but the identity in the pronunciation of the two words caused them to be identified in signification, and as the tree-trunk or cone of stone which symbolized Asherah was regarded as a Beth-el or “house of the deity*, ” wherein the goddess was immanent, the word Asirtu, Asherah, came to denote the symbol of the goddess. The trunk of the tree was often provided with branches, and assumed the form of the tree of life*. It was as a trunk, however, that it was forbidden to be erected by the side of “the altar of Yahweh” (Deu_16:21; see Jdg_6:25, Jdg_6:28, Jdg_6:30; 2Ki_23:6). En Asiria asirtu, que aparece también en las formas asrātu, esrēti (en plural) y Asru, tenía el significado adicional de "santuario". Asirtu Originalmente, la esposa de Asir, y asirtu, "santuario", parecen haber tenido ninguna relación con unos a otros, pero la identidad en la pronunciación de las dos palabras hizo que fueran identificados en la significación, y como el tronco de un árbol o un cono de piedra que simbolizaba Asera fue considerado como un Bet-el, o "casa de la deidad *" en el que la diosa era inminente, el Asirtu palabra, Asera, vino a denotar el símbolo de la diosa. El tronco del árbol se proporcionan a menudo con ramas, y asumió la forma de árbol de la vida *. Era como un tronco, sin embargo , que estaba prohibido que se erigió al lado de "el altar de Yahveh" (Deu_16: 21; ver Jdg_6: 25, Jdg_6: 28, Jdg_6: 30; 2Ki_23: 6). Accordingly the symbol made for Asherah by his mother was “cut down” by Asa (1Ki_15:13). En consecuencia, el símbolo hecho de Asera por su madre fue "cortado" por Asa (1Ki_15: 13). So, too, we hear of Asherim or symbols of the goddess being set up on the high places under the shade of a green tree (Jer_17:2; see 2Ki_17:10). Así, también, oímos hablar de Aseras o símbolos de la diosa está estableciendo en los lugares altos, a la sombra de un árbol verde (Jer_17: 2; ver 2Ki_17: 10). Manasseh introduced one into the temple at Jerusalem (2Ki_21:3, 2Ki_21:7). Manasés introdujo una en el templo de Jerusalén (2Ki_21: 3, 2Ki_21: 7).
*This connection between the Christmas tree the House of God (Bethel) and the tree of Life is important to note. * Esta conexión entre el árbol de Navidad de la Casa de Dios (Bet) y el árbol de la vida es importante tener en cuenta. The Christmas tree is a counterfeit tree of life which is really the tree of knowledge of good and evil. El árbol de Navidad es un árbol de la falsificación de la vida que es realmente el árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal. The tree of life represents the Messiah who is pictured by the menorah. El árbol de la vida representa el Mesías que es representado por la menorá. The tree of knowledge represents the adversary who is pictured by the Christmas tree/Asherah pole. El árbol del conocimiento representa el adversario que está representado por el árbol de Navidad / Asera poste.

The “Christmas” tree that comes from pagan cultures is a counterfeit, much like their entire religion. La "Navidad" árbol que proviene de las culturas paganas es un tanto falso, al igual que toda su religión. It is supposed to represent the tree of life, however it really represents the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which the heathen cultures believed was the “true” tree of life. Que se supone que representa el árbol de la vida, sin embargo lo que realmente representa el árbol de la ciencia del bien y del mal que las naciones culturas creían que era el "verdadero" árbol de la vida.

Our “star,” Greek ” aster,” Latin stella, is akin*. Her worship was most licentious and abominable; closely connected with that of (See ASHERAH, “THE GROVE”. Ashtoreh is the goddess, asherah “the grove,” the image or the symbol of the goddess, of wood;* asher, yashar, “to be straight,” a straight stem of a tree living, or fixed upright (1Ki_18:19; 2Ki_21:7; 2Ki_23:6; 2Ki_23:13-14; 2Ki_23:15; Jdg_6:25; Jdg_6:30). The “bringing out the asherah from the house of the Lord,” and the “cutting down,” suit such a symbol, not a grace in our sense. The active and passive powers of nature, generative and receptive, suggested the male and female deities, Baal and Ashtoreh. {This is seen further in the principle 'as above, so below' which will be discussed in connection to the mark of the beast in a future study, Yah willing} Nuestra "estrella" griega "desastre," América stella, es similar *. Su culto fue más licenciosos y abominables;. Estrechamente relacionada con la de (Ver Asherah, "The Grove" Ashtoreh es la diosa Asera "el bosque" la imagen o el símbolo de la diosa, de madera; * asher, Yashar, "ser heterosexual", de tallo recto de un árbol vivo, o fijos en posición vertical (1Ki_18: 19; 2Ki_21: 7; 2Ki_23: 6; 2Ki_23: 13 -14; 2Ki_23: 15; Jdg_6: 25; Jdg_6:. 30) El "llevar a cabo la asera de la casa del Señor," y la "tala", traje un símbolo, no una gracia en el sentido de. potencias activa y pasiva de la naturaleza, de generación y receptivas, sugirió que las deidades masculinas y femeninas, Baal y Ashtoreh. {Esto se ve más en el principio "como es arriba es abajo", que será discutido en relación a la marca de la bestia en un estudio futuro, Yah dispuestos}

and cut down their groves; sacred to idols, which were usually planted on hills, and about Heathen temples, and under which idols were placed to be worshipped. The Targum of Jonathan calls them trees of their adoration, under which they worshipped ; though there was a worship paid to them, not indeed directly to them, or for their sakes, but for the sake of the idols they were sacred to , or were placed under them; so Maimonides (e) says, a tree which at first was planted to be worshipped is forbidden of any use (or profit); and this is the אשרה , or “grove”, spoken of in the law, a tree planted and lopped, of which a graven image is made for an idol; and so the tree that has been worshipped, though the body of it is, not forbidden, all the shoots and leaves, and the branches, and the fruits it produces all the time it is worshipped, are forbidden to be used: though the word here used sometimes seems to signify, not a grove of trees, but some image itself, since we read of it in the temple, 2Ki_21:7,

and burn their graven images with fire; distinguished from their molten images, which may be meant in a preceding clause, and which are particularly mentioned as to be destroyed as well as these, Num_33:52.

Two Babylon's – Alexander Hislop

The Christmas tree, now so common among us, was equally common in Pagan Rome and Pagan Egypt. In Egypt that tree was the palm-tree; in Rome it was the fir; the palm-tree denoting the Pagan Messiah, as Baal-Tamar, the fir referring to him as Baal-Berith.

The mother of Adonis, the Sun-God and great mediatorial divinity, was mystically said to have been changed into a tree, and when in that state to have brought forth her divine son. If the mother was a tree, the son must have been recognised as the “Man the branch.” And this entirely accounts for the putting of the Yule Log into the fire on Christmas-eve, and the appearance of the Christmas-tree the next morning. As Zero-Ashta, “The seed of the woman,” which name also signified Ignigena, or “born of the fire,” he has to enter the fire on “Mother-night,” that he may be born the next day out of it, as the “Branch of God,” or the Tree that brings all divine gifts to men. But why, it may be asked, does he enter the fire under the symbol of a Log? To understand this, it must be remembered that the divine child born at the winter solstice was born as a new incarnation of the great god (after that god had been cut in pieces), on purpose to revenge his death upon his murderers. Now the great god, cut off in the midst of his power and glory, was symbolised as a huge tree, stripped of all its branches, and cut down almost to the ground. But the great serpent, the symbol of the life restoring Aesculapius, twists itself around the dead stock (see figure 27), and lo, at its side up sprouts a young tree–a tree of an entirely different kind, that is destined never to be cut down by hostile power–even the palm-tree, the well-known symbol of victory*.

*Notice that the serpent wrapping around this tree brings forth life from the dead or resurrection or transformation. This will be seen below in connection with the Christmas tree and Kundalini.

The Christmas-tree, as has been stated, was generally at Rome a different tree, even the fir; but the very same idea as was implied in the palm-tree was implied in the Christmas-fir; for that covertly symbolised the new-born God as Baal-berith, * “Lord of the Covenant,” and thus shadowed forth the perpetuity and everlasting nature of his power, not that after having fallen before his enemies, he had risen triumphant over them all.
* Baal-bereth, which differs only in one letter from Baal-berith, “Lord of the Covenant,” signifies “Lord of the fir-tree.”
Therefore, the 25th of December, the day that was observed at Rome as the day when the victorious god reappeared on earth, was held at the Natalis invicti solis, “The birth-day of the unconquered Sun.” Now the Yule Log is the dead stock of Nimrod, deified as the sun-god, but cut down by his enemies; the Christmas-tree is Nimrod redivivus–the slain god come to life again.*

*Again it is seen that Christmas is not about birth. But about life from the dead/rebirth or the 'evolution of man' into homo noeticus. The promise of the adversary in the garden.

In the light reflected by the above statement on customs that still linger among us, the origin of which has been lost in the midst of hoar antiquity, let the reader look at the singular practice still kept up in the South on Christmas-eve, of kissing under the mistletoe bough. That mistletoe bough in the Druidic superstition, which, as we have seen, was derived from Babylon, was a representation of the Messiah, “The man the branch.” The mistletoe was regarded as a divine branch *–a branch that came from heaven, and grew upon a tree that sprung out of the earth.

FROM CHRISTMAS IN RITUAL BY CLEMENT MILES
Let us turn to the customs of the Roman Empire which may be in part responsible for the German Christmas-tree. The practice of adorning houses with evergreens at the January Kalends was common throughout the Empire, as we learn from Libanius, Tertullian, and Chrysostom. A grim denunciation of such decorations and the lights which accompanied them may be quoted from Tertullian ; it makes a pregnant contrast of pagan and Christian. “Let them,” he says of the heathen, “kindle lamps, they who have no light; let them fix on the doorposts laurels which shall afterwards be burnt, they for whom fire is close at hand; meet for them are testimonies of darkness and auguries of punishment. But thou,” he says to the Christian, “art a light of the world and a tree that is ever green; if thou hast renounced temples, make not a temple of thy own house-door.”

“Herod reigned over the Jews in Syria, in the times of Augustus; therefore the Herodians kept Herod's birthday , as also the sabbath, on which day they set up candles in the windows lighted, and encircled with violets.”

This they did, believing him to be the Messiah: and it is further to be observed, that the word here used, is said (r) to be proper to the dead, and not to the living; and that he that uses it of the living, speaks very inaccurately: but however, it was a festival, and a time of great mirth and jollity ; and a proper opportunity offered to Herodias, to execute her malicious designs against John the Baptist; for at this time,

Isa 1:29 For they shall be ashamed of the trees which you lusted after; and you shall be ashamed of the gardens that you have chosen.
Isa 1:30 For you shall be like a tree whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water in it.

The Christmas tree represents the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Menorah represents the tree of Life, Yahshua where the living waters come from (Psalm 1).

Isa 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
Isa 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Isa 30:22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

Eze 16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places (where the trees were) with divers colours (H2921), and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

H2921 טלא ṭâlâ' taw-law'
A primitive root; properly to cover with pieces; that is, (by implication) to spot or variegate (as tapestry):
Tapestry Tapiz
TAP'ESTRY, n. [L. [L. tapes, tapestry.] A kind of woven hangings of wool and silk, often enriched with gold and silver, representing figures of men, animals, landscapes, &c.

Eze 6:13 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
Jer 3:6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

What's more, we've already discussed how the reverse of 'Norne' is 'Enron' and how Schwarzenegger is linked to this energy company. So we are again back to Arnold, the messianic 'Antichrist'. And sure enough, Spear of Destiny is said to have been possessed or at least sought by various messianic and antichristic leaders throughout history like Herod the Great, Constantine, Hitler, etc. The Spear represents the power that Antichrist must obtain in order to be successful. So obviously there is a coherent symbolic pattern here.

Let me now point out that Arnie's most recent film was Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines released just last year... [...] As you can see in the Terminator 3 graphic shown left, the Arnie Terminator has only one active red eye. We can easily view this as an allusion to 'HAL', the AI machine in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey which similarly has only one glowing red 'eye'. And of course HAL rebels against its human masters. Thus the story of 2001/HAL is very much about the 'rise of the machines'. And '2001' being the year of 9/11... [we can sense the underlying context].

But the real punch line here is this: as Glenn correctly pointed out to me, Longinus who pierced the side of Jesus with his 'Spear of Destiny' had only one eye! (He was blind in one eye, but was healed by Jesus' blood.) And, in the film The Passion [of the Christ, a controversial film about the final 12 hours of Jesus, released soon after the Super Bowl fiasco], Jesus is mostly... you guess it, one-eyed.

Needless to say, this... relates to the Eye of Horus, or the 'All-Seeing Eye' of the pyramid capstone that you see on the back of the US dollar bill. It symbolizes Osirian resurrection, seed/sex, Mars, New World Order... etc. etc. all very relevant. Birth of Horus, birth of Antichrist - that would probably the strongest concept conveyed by all this.

At this point, I introduced a new piece of the puzzle - an astronomical one - that would become increasingly important:

...we are likely in for some very significant 'antichristic' events in the near future - as early as this month. Key dates coming up are March 15 (Ides of March, feast day of St. Longinus) and around March 20 (spring equinox/'Super Mars Day') and/or March 22 ('322'/'Skulll & Bones day').

I'd say there is a high probability that the spring equinox window coming up will produce some significant event(s) that will conform to the pattern discussed above. Because not only is March 20 the 'Super Mars/Sphinx/Horus Day', the spring equinox is traditionally the day of the rebirth of the Sun (-king), i.e. birth of Horus/Christ/Antichrist. Furthermore, ~March 20 this year is astronomically emphasized in a very meaningful way. As Gary, a close observer of the heavens, recently informed me:

...the Sun , New Moon and both comets [Linear and Neat] will be aligned along the 0h right ascension/meridian point.

He's right. Those four celestial objects will closely align along the 'zero longitude' of the sky grid on March 20/21. What I find particularly interesting here is the potential connection [we see] between the term 'longitude' and the name 'Longinus'. I don't think it's a mere coincidence that Longinus is associated with a lance, i.e. a straight line... such as a longitudinal line (meridian), especially since Jesus' blood/bloodline is esoterically associated with a meridian called 'Rose Line' (more or less equated with the Paris Zero Meridian). And this certainly increases the symbolic depth of the longitudinal celestial alignment formed around the spring equinox coming up shortly.

A week and a half later on March 26, I analyzed what had taken place during the spring equinox window:

Well, March 20 was last Saturday and like most Saturdays it was a relatively uneventful day. But this was not surprising because 3/20 being the first anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war, there wouldn't have been enough 'twists' to the timing symbolism. And there was also the 'Skull and Bones day' of March 22 ('322') coming only 2 days later. This is why I had treated the timeframe as a 'window' rather than a 'key date'.

Things began to heat up on Sunday (3/21). Let's start with The Passion. It was reported Sunday that the Jesus movie was dethroned from its #1 box-office position by the new film called 'Dawn of the Dead'. The symbolism there is quite intriguing as 'Dawn of the Dead' can easily be viewed as an allusion to Horus, the (rising-) Sun-god and the son of Osiris the god of the dead. Passion depicts the death of Osiris; and as if to reenact the mythological story, the death is immediately followed by a rebirth - i.e. the 'dawn of the dead'... the birth of Horus.

Next, the birth of Horus is something we have long seen in the rise of Schwarzenegger; indeed, Arnold was quickly identified as a major 'antichristic' figure here at Etemenanki (see past posts). Arnie was specifically mentioned in the 3/12 post when discussing the key March/Mars dates. We've talked a lot about the seeming 'destiny' of Schwarzenegger becoming a US president before and this 'plan' finally began to be detectable this winter/spring as one of the news headlines on Feb. 22 ('222') was: 'Schwarzenegger Argues for White House Run'. (See my 2/23 post.) And the media helped pushing this idea again several days later by inexplicably throwing in the 'Arnold amendment' question during a Democratic presidential debate televised on CNN.

Well, guess what happened on Sunday 3/21... One of the news items bore the title: 'Kennedy would back law enabling Schwarzenegger to run for US president'. Arnie is married to former journalist and Kennedy heiress, Maria Shriver, a niece of Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy. I see this marriage as a key element of the symbolic role - if not a literal one - Arnie now appears to be playing - i.e. Horus/Messiah/Antichrist. Note that the JFK presidency was called 'Camelot', which makes JFK an Arthurian figure who is inseparable from the tales of the 'Holy Grail'. And the Holy Grail largely represents 'Blood Royal' or the supposed bloodline stemming from the union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. And the Messiah/Antichrist has to possess this Davidic royal blood - just like St. Longinus' legendary 'Spear of Destiny' that pierced Jesus' side while on the cross is believed to represent something that 'Antichrist' must obtain in order to be successful... [...]

[Longinus' likely connection to] 'longitude' and 'meridian'... creates an amazing correlation with the event we introduce next.

Although not March 20 (equinox) or March 22 (Skull & Bones/'322'), March 23 was also a symbolically significant date included in the 'Super Mars Day' window. Since 'Super Mars Day' is analogous to 'Super Tuesday' as discussed [before], it is natural to view the Tuesday closest to March 20/22 as carrying the same theme. This happened to be March 23. The previous 'Super Tuesday' on March 2 was marked by the NASA announcement of Mars' past water. On the second 'Super Tuesday', March 23, pretty much the same thing happened! On that day, NASA held a special press conference to triumphantly announce to the world that the landing site of the Mars rover Opportunity was once the shore of a salty sea. [...]

...I saw the name of the area where Opportunity landed - 'Meridiani Planum'. That is, 'Meridian Plane' - so called because the site is near the Prime Meridian, or longitude zero, of Mars! Very unexpected, but this certainly seems to confirm my symbolic interpretation regarding Longinus, i.e. the relevance of longitude zero/Prime Meridian/Rose Line.

The above also has the implication of attaching the messianic 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' theme to the Red Planet. This happens to be a fully expected development. As early as Nov. 2002, I was already propounding this connection; as I wrote in Endgame III back then:

... I'm sure this is the first time that all the different subject matters, especially Cydonia [/Mars] and the underground Gnostic tradition, have been put together and viewed as aspects of the same 'game'. Strange stuff, yes, but this is where the 'game' is going, so people should get used to it.

And now we are seeing the 'game' getting there indeed. This is still only the tip of the iceberg, and I'm sure I will be talking more about this 'game' in the future.

• Mars returned to the '9/11 position' at the intersection of the Milky Way and the ecliptic in March 2003 - that is, the very month the Iraq war started!

• The Iraq war began on March 20 (Iraqi time); the Red Planet's '9/11 return' came on March 7. Interestingly, the 13-day difference closely matches a half cycle of the Moon's sidereal orbit around the earth (~27 days) - meaning the Moon would be on the opposite side of the earth relative to the background stars in about 13 days. So we see the familiar notion of 'opposition' subtly embedded here. But there is a more compelling way of bridging March 7 and March 20. There is now a 13-day difference between the Julian calendar and the modern (and more accurate) Gregorian calendar - which means that March 20 Gregorian is March 7 Julian... Or, March 20 equals March 7!

• We also observe that there is exactly a 13-day difference between the historic Mar-Earth encounter of Aug. 27, '03 (closest distance on 8/27; opposition on 8/28) and the historic major power outage ('Total Blackout') that struck the east coast of the US (and Canada) on August 14 which is symbolically linked to the 'rise of Schwarzenegger' that came just days earlier.

• The US 'Shock & Awe' bombing campaign against Iraq began on March 22/23, exactly 6 months before the '2010 monolith' autumnal equinox (Sept. 23, '03).

• The deadly train bombings in Madrid, widely perceived as 'Spain's 9/11', came on March 11, '04 - exactly 6 months after September 11 ('03) when the Sun was on the opposite side, so to speak. The 9/11 reference was also underscored by the fact that there were exactly 911 days in between 9/11/01 and 3/11/04!

The Madrid bombings also have a connection to Lucifer (thus also Venus). Very near the Atocha train station where a total of seven bombs exploded and killed about 100 people is a park called the 'Retiro' that has a statue called 'El Angel Caido', claimed to be the world's only sculpture dedicated solely to Lucifer.

The involvement of Lucifer here is intriguing as 'he' is popularly interpreted to have been an angel who challenged 'God' and fell. As written in the Bible:

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

In other words, Lucifer may be viewed as an opponent of 'God'. (Incidentally the name 'Satan' means 'opponent', though Lucifer and Satan are not really equatable as widely believed.) The idea of 'Antichrist' seems relevant here...

So we have the notion of 'opposition' being echoed. Following this pattern, we are potentially in for another 'Luciferian'/'shock & awe'/9-11/'Antichrist'-type event in - or associated with - early May when there will be a reversal/'opposition' 9-11 configuration with Mars at the summer-solstice point and the Moon at the winter-solstice point while Venus will be right beside Mars and crossing the galactic meridian.

Berg was a 'prisoner of war' indeed... So, this does smell like a 'Beltane ritual' that interacts with Schwarzenneger's Oak King ritual on Beltane/May Day.

The 'Tower' part of Berg's job/company is also suspiciously relevant. Mary Magdalene, as a form of Venus-Isis/Sirius-Lucifer (lucero de la mañana segun apocalipsis 22:16), 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.

Furthermore, the idea of decapitation is something very much attached to John the Baptist (this is how his life ended). And as mentioned earlier John is often considered the Christian version of the Oak King (= Arnie) and his feast day (June 24) marks/represents the summer solstice which in early ancient Egyptian times coincided with Sirius' heliacal rising and thus also with New Year's Day. In other words, John - and through him Berg - is very much linked to the 'antichristic' Aug. 6 date and conceptually an 'opposite' of Beltane/May Day!

The date of the gruesome video's posting,  May 11, is also suggestive in that there are exactly 322 days from the last John the Baptist day (June 24, '03) to May 11, '04. You may recall that '322' is the numerical signature of Skull and Bones, the Yale secret society to which both Bush and John Kerry belong. The 'Shock & Awe' event of 2003 - i.e. the US air assault on Iraq - began on March 22/23 (i.e. 3/22 => '322'). And we had this year's 'Shock & Awe', i.e. the decapitation video, also coming with the signature number...

Next, we find that the Beltane/May Day festival traditionally involved the virgin goddess:

Many communities elected a virgin as their "May Queen" to lead marches or songs. To the Celts, she represented the virgin goddess on the eve of her transition from Maiden to Mother.

It turns out the constellation of Virgo, associated with the Mary-Venus-Isis goddess complex, has been considered a headless constellation (Star Names, p.462).

Finally, the horrific 'Beltane ritual' of Nick Berg may have been an 'omen' for Donald Rumsfeld, the head of the Pentagon (Defense Department). In my May 6 update I wrote:

What makes this really intriguing is that Rumsfeld heads the Pentagon. As I made clear in the article, the 'time code' has much to do with Venus and Sirius - both traditionally signified by the 5-poitned star symbol, or pentagram. Needless to say, geometrically the pentagon is just another expression of the pentagram.

So at this point we can't help but anticipate the exit of the Defense/Pentagon Secretary...

In other words, the Berg video, the month of May, and the Department of Defense are all closely associated with the Mary-Venus-Isis/Sirius goddess complex. The head of Nick Berg has been cut off (boy... I really don't like talking about this); so, will this be the case for the 'head' of the Pentagon as well?  I view this symbolism as suggestive of the exit of Rumsfeld in the near future (either stepping down and getting fired).

Now, getting back to Schwarzenegger's trip, let's address the question of 'why Israel?' First, we can see that for a 'messianic' figure it would be quite natural to go there... to get 'baptized' (or whatever). Note that the Oak King is 'born' on the winter solstice/Yule, historically associated with Christmas, thus also with the birth of Jesus. In other words, the Oak King is an alter ego of the 'Messiah'. And the acting Oak King, Arnie, just went 'back' to the Holy Land...

But more interestingly, the name 'Israel' comes from a biblical figure who was originally called Jacob. He is associated with something akin to the Tower of Babel (Babylon/'gate of god') or 'stargate', as we read in Genesis:

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. (28:16-17)

The line 'How dreadful is this place!' is thought to be connected to Rennes-le-Chateau in south France where, at its church's entrance, the visitor would encounter a strange Latin inscription that reads 'TERRIBILIS EST LOCUS ISTE' ('This place is terrible'). Thanks to the great success of The Da Vinci Code, now many people recognize that Rennes-le-Chateau is inseparable from the underground tradition of Mary Magdalene (= 'tower'). Not surprisingly, the subsequent Genesis passages mentions 'pillar':

And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. And he called the name of that place Beth-el...  And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house... (28:18-19, 22)

This 'pillar' is easily interchangeable with the Tower of Babel in Babylon, the 'gate of god'. This is a 'stargate' theme. Isn't it intriguing, then, that Schwarzenegger's most popular movie character, the Terminator, is a cyborg that comes from the future through a 'stargate' machine?

This 'stargate' is also traditionally called 'Jacob's ladder', which has been identified with the Milky Way. Those who have read The Lucifer Time Code will recall that the significance accorded to the month of May this year has much to do with celestial configurations directly involving the Milky Way [and its 'stargate' points]!

Jacob's 'stargate' pillar-stone is also associated with the 'Stone of Destiny' which is related to Grail/Arthurian tradition. This reminds us of the fact that Arnold has a shadowy Enron connection (the corrupt energy company that imploded in 2001-2) and 'Enron' spelt backwards is 'Norne', the name of the three goddesses of fate (or destiny) in Norse mythology as discussed before.

Here is one of Nostradamus' quatrains often associated with the 'Antichrist' (I-76) that specifically mentions 'destiny' and alludes to Norne:

The man will be called by a barbaric name
that three sisters will receive from destiny.
He will speak then to a great people in words and deeds,
more than any other man will have fame and renown.

Schwarzenegger indeed has the 'barbaric' epithet, 'Terminator', but before he was the Terminator he was literally Conan the Barbarian!

So, all combined, the symbolism of Arnold's 'presidential' trip to Israel (= Jacob) over the Beltane/May-Day weekend is quite telling and meaningful.

Peak Oil is arriving. Chaos will ensue. And Arnold Schwarzenegger will be right there to assume leadership and forcefully maintain order even as the Titanic sinks into the abyss. A scenario that is becoming less and less improbable...

Okay, one more thing. This week saw a very unusual development of all the major US cable news networks (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) carrying a remarkable story involving UFOs - how they were witnessed and acknowledged by the Mexican military - in a quite serious manner. I see this as a precursor to the coming announcement of the 'discovery' of life on Mars - i.e. my Projection 'A' for May (and beyond).

The way I see it, those 'UFOs' are probably 'ours', as in non-extraterrestrial (something out of very deep military-industrial black projects). I can actually detect a parallel between the Nick Berg video and this UFO news (both came out just about at the same time). The 'shock & awe' video, on a practical level, had the very convenient function of softening the impact of the Iraq prisoner abuse photos. (Who benefited the most from the public display of extreme savagery?) Rumsfeld is certainly feeling less pressure at this time, and Cheney is happy that Rumsfeld still has his job since without him at the top of the Pentagon the neoconservative network that Cheney uses to run his 'shadow government' would quickly collapse.

By showing the extreme, people's threshold of tolerance is easily changed. So, by implying in the mainstream news, at least temporarily, that there may really be ETs visiting this planet in flying saucers, the general public's 'tolerance level' gets adjusted and thereby becoming ready mentally for the 'life on Mars' announcement that may be in the works now.

The fact that the ESA guys (Europe) are apparently getting ready to make such an announcement in July or September this year tells me that NASA/US may now have a motive to make its own 'life on Mars' announcement' before them. Chances are NASA already has more than enough evidence. So why let the Europeans steal the limelight? The limelight outweighs secrecy at this point, I would think.

It will be interesting to see how/if these scenarios will unfold in the coming weeks.

As we entered June, many of the major themes began to converge and culminate in a sequence of remarkable, ritualistic events.

First, my comments from June 1:

In Part 1 of the Time Code article was discussed the importance of Venus (= Lucifer) and its alter-ego star Sirius which is inseparable from the idea of summer solstice and New Year via ancient Egyptian tradition. Well, June is the summer-solstice month (June 20/21) and this year there will be a very rare 'Transit of Venus' - the 'Lucifer planet' moving directly across the disk of the Sun - on June 8. [...] (LUCIFER ES UNA TRADUCCION DE LA VULGATA. SEGUN APOCALIPSIS 22:16 CRISTO ES EL LUCERO DE LA MAÑANA)

Two key points here: The idea of opposite/reversal attached to the ~May 8 window relative to August 6 (which is also calendrically analogous to 9/11 [and summer solstice]) makes the following fact quite intriguing. The 'reverse' of August 6, or 8/6, is 6/8 - that is, June 8... the day of the Venus transit.

And Venus in May was positioned at the Sun's summer-solstice point. In fact, specifically around May 8 the summer-solstice point was precisely marked by Mars. [...]

So you see that the events of May are heavily intertwined with the month of June and its two key dates, June 8 and June 20/21 (summer solstice). Remarkably, even those two dates are 'intelligently' arranged. I've discussed before the importance of comparing the Julian and Gregorian calendars which now have 13-day difference. Well, June 8 and June 21 (summer solstice) are separated by 13 days! In other words, these key dates are calendrically equatable.

Consequently my general view is that this June will be an 'echo month' of May, probably an echo with more intensity. So naturally I will continue to watch for things like the fall/exit of Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and/or Cheney and their neo-conservative minions

The Super Bowl 'omen' would really come alive at this point - almost certainly by design.

Here is what I stated back on Feb. 23:

While so much has already been said about Janet Jackson 'nipplegate', there is still an important symbolism that no one as far as I know has really detected in the whole thing. This has to do with the 'nipple ring' or whatever it's called that partially covered Janet's exposed right breast. As has been commented in many places, it's in the shape of a 8-pointed star - or the Sun. [...]

As already explained, Jesus Christ is [traditionally] very much comparable to Horus-Osiris. And it happens that Horus is a prominent sun-god. And the Jesus-Horus connection is most recognized through the almost identical traditional depictions of Mary/Isis suckling the baby Jesus/Horus. (The Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene are sometimes considered interchangeable, especially in the esoteric/Grail context.) So, the 'Sun' on Janet's breast would quite easily relate to Horus-Jesus; and mythologically the baby's birth implies the death of Christ/Osiris...

Then on March 12 I went further:

Because Mary Magdalene, or Isis the sister-wife of Osiris, is traditionally identified with Venus and the breast is decidedly a feminine symbol, we can easily interpret the Sun nipple-ring on Janet's breast as signifying the Sun covering Venus. And the direct conjunction of Sun and Venus is exactly what will take place on June 8 this year!

The above connection is intensified by the following:

• Breasts produce milk.
• The summer solstice point in the sky is right on the path of the Milky Way.
• The Transit of Venus took place at the edge of the Milky Way.

So, all combined, what we have here is a clear message - that the Venus Transit on June 8 is the event, or at least one of the events, pinpointed by the Super-Bowl 'omen'. And it signifies the time of the Osirian Resurrection, the death of Osiris and the birth of Horus. Judging from the events of May, the role of Osiris was likely to be played by the US leadership and the role of Horus by Schwarzenegger.

This projection was to be dramatically fulfilled by the death of Ronald Reagan on June 5.

Here is what I wrote on June 8:

Well, at the time I didn't quite realize just how significant Reagan's death really was. Obviously it was a huge event especially for the US media which covered the week-long proceedings like there was no tomorrow. I frankly stopped watching TV news during this period because the coverage had quickly become overkill.

Still, I was compelled to watch the funeral ceremony on the final day - which fell on Friday, June 11. I was astounded by what I saw.

I jumped up and excitedly wrote the following...

June 12, '04   Witnessing Once and Future King

Did you see it? Did you feel the 'deep impact' of June 11, 2004? I can't recall witnessing a 'ritual' so powerful like this one, climaxing late yesterday as the Sun set on the California horizon. The energy emanating from the ceremony was so great that I found it unsettling. It was all beautiful on the surface - indeed near perfect - and yet underneath it there was an esoteric ritual taking place simultaneously. It was unmistakable. Previously on June 8 I wrote that the death event of Ronald Reagan signified the death of Osiris (Egyptian god of the dead) - something projected beforehand here at Etemenanki: ...the death of a former President, i.e. Reagan, immediately preceding the Horus/Grail event of the Venus transit is symbolically quite fitting. This is the story of the death of Osiris and the birth of Horus. I explained that the death/funeral was a ritual designed to interact, or commemorate, the Transit of Venus that took place on June 8, right in the middle of the national mourning period. Venus being a form of Isis (or Mary Magdalene) and Osiris being symbolic of the sunset, the rare union of the two celestial objects reenacted the mythological event of Horus being conceived by Isis, as she is said to have received the seed of her husband Osiris concurrently with his death. Hence I anticipated that an event analogous to the conception/birth of Horus would emerge following or together with the presidential death ritual. I previously wrote: It's interesting that Reagan's death should take place right before the Venus transit as the Venus-Sun union is symbolic of the Mary-Jesus (as well as Isis-Osiris) union and the resultant birth of Horus, the 'Holy Grail' (the seed of Christ/Antichrist).  Since the very beginning, August 2003, I have been viewing the political rise of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the new 'Messianic'/'Antichristic' king, Horus, being born. Etemenanki has been the only and certainly the first place, as far as I know, to make this interpretation - though I should note that Alex Jones and the LaRouche camp expressed more or less similar views at the time of the California 'Total Recall' election last year (both compared Arnie to Hitler). I noted just recently in the June 8 update: The 'hidden form' [which I associated with the Venus transit] may also relate to our 'Antichrist' theme. And in The Lucifer Time Code (May 3, '04) I listed the following as one of the projected events that might manifest in this very period: Major event involving Arnold Schwarzenegger and/or other Horus ('Antichristic') figures. As Reagan died, things began to form into a perfect-storm ritual designed to 'inaugurate', in an occultic fashion, the New King, the 'Antichristic' Terminator. Is it just a coincidence that both Reagan and Arnold were an ex-Hollywood actor who became [Republican] California governor? Conceptually they can be viewed as alter egos, just as Osiris and his son Horus were. And so as Reagan died, we could easily expect that Schwarzenegger - in his new role - was to be conceived/born. Indeed, the finale of the week-long Osirian ritual brought Reagan's dead body and along with it the attention of the entire nation from Washington DC to California, the land governed by Arnold, to be buried at sunset as requested by Reagan himself. All the major TV channels in the US showed this grand finale in such a way that it was openly intimated that the fading Sun was symbolic of the former president himself - which was indeed clearly the case. As I watched the farewell speeches given by his sons and daughter, a familiar face emerged into view.... someone sitting right behind the Reagan family. And there he was: Arnold Schwarzenegger... the 'hidden form under the splendor' (a la Quatrain IV-28/Nostradamus discussed before). The camera work was subtle but it unmistakably made the point of acknowledging his presence repeatedly. And it became abundantly clear to me that he was the hidden star of this extraordinary ritual, the biggest one in recent memory. I was transfixed by all this, as I knew the momentous implications of what I was witnessing. The torch of 'kingship' - or 'Antichristship' - was publicly, yet covertly, being passed on to The Next - Arnold Schwarzenegger. As the proceedings approached the ending, virtually all major channels began to focus more and more on the setting sun hovering just above the mountainous western horizon. People were now moving in procession slowly toward the casket holding Reagan's body, paying their respect for the last time. But the TV cameras stayed with the Sun which was finally disappearing into the horizon. As I was observing this sequence, I just knew that at the moment of the Sun's disappearance, signifying the death of Osiris, Arnold would be highlighted in some way, as symbolically the Osirian 'death' had to give rise to the next incarnation embodied by his son Horus (= rising sun). If Schwarzenegger was indeed the 'occult star' of the whole ritual as suspected, this 'coincidence' had to take place. And if it indeed magically did, that would have to be considered an incredibly powerful confirmation of the hidden design. I didn't have to know the exact local sunset time since the TV did a good job of tracking the fading Sun. I had detected the presence of Arnold in the line moving toward the coffin and almost instinctively I began to anticipate what was coming next: the 'death' of the Sun precisely coinciding with Arnie standing in front of the dead 'king'. (This would be only about a 20-second window). By this time, my hands began to sweat and my heartbeat began to race. Something to do with 'knowing' what is coming and knowing its momentous implications. Chances of it taking place so small, and yet the certainty of the coming 'magic moment' overwhelming. As the TV showed the last seconds of the fateful sunset taking place on the horizon and the commentator saying '...and the Sun is now history', the camera went right back to the casket. It showed a couple approaching the casket, saying final goodbye. The man was Arnold Schwarzenegger.... At the 'moment of death', Arnie was right there 'face-to-face' with the dead president, as if to receive the 'spirit of kingship'. This is exactly what happened. I witnessed it with my own eyes. The predicted 'magical coincidence' took place just as described above... Make no mistake: Schwarzenegger will soon be the leader of the United States, if not the entire world. Probably sooner than we think. And his leadership will likely bring about the termination of the the United States as we know it. It is not apparent yet, but it seems the US has now esoterically become an 'Arnold Country'. From this point forward we are unlikely to see any calm period until the 'termination', just several years away. At this time I must say: put your seatbelt on. Horus has arrived and we are in for a wild ride... Chaos and the rise of a (Martian) new world order.

As you can see, what I saw impressed as well as worried me greatly. The 'magical ritual' was... well, magical... in a rather dark sense. But soon I realized that there was much more to the hidden design that would make it even more 'magical', and seemingly impossible.

The calendar that hangs on the walls in our offices or homes is probally the standard calendard that is used worldwide which is the Gregorian Calendar. It is named after the Catholic Pope, Gregory XIII of the 16th century. Have you ever wondered about the calendar that our CREATOR intended when He told Moses: “This month shall your beginnings of months, to you” or in other words you can consider today to be the first day of the first month of the year.

Given enough time, man corrupts everything that our CREATOR has established whether it is the Sabbath, the Commandments, or the Calendar. Today, anyone who desires to observe the commanded days of Leviticus 23 would most certainly be keeping the wrong days. The true Hebrew Calendar revealed in The Hebrew Scriptures (OT) is not recognized by the Jewish or ‘Christian’ ^[1]

religions and it is even ridiculed by them.

The place to begin the Quest for the Scriptural Calendar is by asking the question: “What is a calendar?” A calendar is:
The accepted means of ordering the year by the designation of days, months, and so on. Every culture has its calendar, and all are based on the motions of heavenly bodies. Some, such as the Hebrew Calendar, are defined by the phases of the moon and are called lunar calendars. ^[2]

An Observational versus a Calculated Calendar

In contrast, a calculated calendar is based purely on mathematical calculations, astronomical calculations, and astrological locations of the heavenly bodies in the sky. It is predictable many years in advance.

A combination calendar is a type of calculated calendar in which the Festival Days are inserted into it by using the phases of the moon and is similar to a purely calculated calendar because it is also predictable years in advance. However, it is not an observational calendar because the change of seasons is based on the equinox and not the growth of barley plants.

The Types of Jewish Calendars

Before jumping into the Scriptural evidence of the alendar, we must first establish a foundation of terminology that we will use.

English Gregorian Calendar Glossary

If you look on the tomb of wicked King John - of Magna Carta/Robin Hood fame - you won't find a "John" there, I'll hazard.  They spelled things differently back then.  Similarly, I think it likely there's no "Jesus" mentioned ANYWHERE AT ALL before the beginning of the C17th AD.  I'll run that by you again:  there was no Jesus before some 1600 years after the birth of Christ.  Think about it - Greek, original Latin and Hebrew have no J whilst original Latin had no U. J, U and W were added to the Latin alphabet (that our 26-letter version derives from) in the Middle Ages.  In the very first edition of the 1611 AD, Tyndale-based, King James Authorised Version Bible there's no "Jesus".*

* Witness William Shakespeare's Ist Quarto 1597 AD and its 'ROMEO AND IULIET' - or his 'KING IOHN' .  I find mention of a Petrus Ramus of Picardy origin of the splitting of '1' and 'j, this French thing being subsequently imported into these Isles. ( Ramus was born in 1515 AD and died in 1572 AD.  He was a close friend of Dr. John Dee.  I find Sir Francis Bacon also "in the frame": http://watch.pair.com/TR-2-tetragrammaton.html - scroll down.  First use of j as a consonant - and separate letter from i. then - pre-1572 but abroad).

**  For j/J as alternative i/I, for instance:  "J and I were used interchangeably at the time the (C14th AD) Auchinleck manuscript was written; especially at the beginning of words scribes often preferred to use a J, even if the pronunciation was I.   (The same incidentally goes for V and U.)  As you say, the use of J as a consonant began later."  Reply to my "Of Arthour and of Merlin" query to the National Library of Scotland - and my thanks (and my red italics!)..

Both words, Jesus and John, however ubiquitous these days, are uniquely English in origin, and Jesus, in particlar, is fairly recent. Were both constructed "to order" - or did the arrival of "John" influence the tagging of an "s" on the end of the Jesus precursor, Jesu?

The birthdays are stylised Midwinter* and Midsummer.  They are opposites/complements/mirrors and they are cyclical (the seasons/the year/the sun).  The exact same thing is true of Jesus and John, the words.  Quantified in our English alphabet Jesus = 10 + 5 + 19 (X 2) + 21 = 74 whilst John = 10 + 15 + 8 + 14 = 47.  74 is the mirror of 47.**

*Cautionary note: Jesus is birth date 6th January - Gregorian calendar - in some traditions,  It is supposed to have been moved to 25th December to stop people backing the "Unconquerable Sun" festivity that culminated on that date - Saturnalia.  It is this "Jesus" that John opposes and this perhaps explains why Freemasonry employs John the Evangelist (27th December) as the mirror.  The Julian Calendar Christmas of other traditions is 18th January in Gregorian terms.  The Gregorian was invented 1582 and introduced in England in 1752. 

** 7/4 meaned to 12/7 produces 194/112 - a very serviceable Sq Root 3!  1.7321 .... v 1.73205 ...  And this where 3 + 4 = 7 and 3 X 4 = 12. This is the maths of Gothic Cathedrals.

In both cases 7 + 4 = 11.  11 X 11 = 121.  Mirrors again.  74 + 47 = ...... 121.

The spellings Jesus and John were of deliberate design to produce this outcome, perhaps?*  Did someone think 121 (12,1) is of some GREAT SIGNIFICANCE?  Well, certainly, Chapter and Verse, it's the Woman of St. John's REVELATION, and the mystic - and albeit later - Isaac Newton was to scour this and  DANIEL for the meaning of life, existence and everything whilst contemporary Evelyn evidences knowledge of the Kabbala in his submitted design to rebuild 1665 AD Great Fire London - http://www.geoffss.plus.com/tarotII.htm .  Both were Fellows of the (early) Royal Society - FRS.

* There's a consideration here: the "Simple English" code of Elizabethen times (and, supposedly, one of a number employed by Sir Francis Bacon) employed a 24 letter English alphabet, it seems - http://www.apprendre-en-ligne.net/crypto/bibliotheque/PDF/diasporter.pdf   There's no j, u doubles with v, but there is a w.  The values 74 and 47 do not apply in this code.  But they DO apply to a 26 letter English alphabet.  Some time about 1611 AD, we had at least 25 letters.  Note the 1611 King James Bible, Luke 1:13:

 " But the Angel said vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias, for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn." - a w but no j.  And, again. John 19:38: "And after this, Ioseph of Arimathea (being a disciple of IESUS, but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of IESUS, and Pilate gaue him leaue: he came therefore, and tooke the body of IESUS."  -  a u and a w, this time, but still no j (and no v).  http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611_Luke-1-13/  http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611-Bible/search.php?word=Iesus In 1769 it's J: http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Luke-1-13/ http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/John-19-38/ Some time between 1611 and 1769, therefore, the I of Iesus and Iohn became a J in England - and, apparently, circa 1600-1650-ish on - http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?l=j 

Note, geoffss, 14-04-11 - the 24-letter alphabet English Simple Code needs j (and u) adding to create a 74 and 47 count possibility. Lower case consonant j was already in use in the 1630s - a version of Milton's Comus contains "just hands"/"welcome joy" etc. but "Ioves court" http://www.mith.umd.edu/comus/final/TMS.htm   This "Trinity MS" transscription and the "Bridgewater MS" transcription both carry "Iove's courte" but the latter also has "Jo: Milton".  I see upper case "Ioye ... Iollitie" (joy and jollity) in both and "iocund" in the Brdgewater.  In 1634, then, lower case j was being used for some/many/most of (our) lower case j words and, by 1637, upper case Ioye and Iollitie had become Joy and Jollity.  Finally, in 1645, Iove became Jove - http://www.mith.umd.edu/comus/final/1637.htm http://www.mith.umd.edu/comus/final/1645.htm  As for v/u, all the transcruiption/texts use u within words - e.g. Comus - but the Bridgewater transcription generally carries v at the beginning - vpright/vnder/vnadorned/vs etc - but it also carries both up and vp.  1637 sees captial Vs and the odd v beginnings - but otherwise u.  In 1645. it's U and u. I saw no conflation of u with w - as in Ieues/Iewes - in the above (see Wiliam Tyndale C16th http://studybible.info/Tyndale/Acts%2020:18-21)*.

The "Iohn" cited above had and has variants: Ihon, Ioann, Iohann (Hans), Ieuan, Ian, Ivan, Evan etc. as well as the Js - Jean, Johann, Juan etc.  An origin is claimed water-related Oannes - note Baptist and water here: http://www.forbiddenfruitpublishing.com/sexdrugs/oannes.html

*Having a J doesn't quite do it - you need another s, too, as in the 1611 King James above (the u arriving c/o Greek upsilon - "uppercase Y, lowercase u" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upsilon  Tyndale gives "Iesu" here.  Note also Hesus, Ihesus Iesous, Issa (note Muslim Isa) and Yehoshua/Yeshua (Joshua).  Now, changing the I to J (1st half C17th AD if as above) gives us a (new/ 26-letter) Simple English Code outcome of 74 v the John 47.

If we look at REVELATION 4, 7 we find the four Royal Watchers coded: Antares, Aldebaran, Regulus and Fomalhaut.  These represent West, East, North and South.  They also turn up at  KINGS II, 2, II and ZECHARIAH 6, 2 - 6, 6 .  They are the wheels fixed the the various fiery chariots going heavenwards. Meanwhile, the angle 47 degrees is applied to the arc between Tropics Cancer and Capricorn - leaving 66.5 degrees to the Poles on either side.  A more accurate figure, though is 23.4394 ... : as 23.4 to one decimal point then .... 66.6.

Note:(27-11-07): Frank Higgins, ANCIENT FREEMASONRY ... (1919, 1923 et al). 23.5 and 47 (2X 23.5) are said to be 2 of the 4 "Cosmic Angles" of Freemasonry*.  Masonic compasses. it seems, were once set at 47 degrees ** rather than the modern 60, and that 'all-seeing eye' pyramid thingy on dollar bills is at 23.5 (66.5) degrees.  He notes this in the context of the (solar) seasonal cycle of Cancer 23.5 to Equator to Capricorn 23.5 = 47.  Here are 60 degrees and 47 degrees together on a C16th AD icon of St. Catherine (of Wheel fame) from the eponymous Sinai monastery:

This is a vastly enlarged detail from the bottom left of the icon and was brought to my attention by Gary Osborn on the Graham Hancock Mysteries Forum (28-11-07).  Thanks for that - and to 'Blythe' for the original icon post.The compasses (seem to) give angles as illustrated - by my attempts to measure them.

Notes 

* I can't find out what others they had (but the abridged text, lacking these, is on googlebooks).

 **Or were they?  I had a quick look-see and found 45 degrees, 36 degrees, 29 degrees .... all sorts of degrees, really!  See  http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/symbolism/compasses/index.html

This is ATALANTA FUGIENS , Maier, 1618 AD.  (1618?  1.618 is often used to represent the Golden Mean, I note, and is 1618 is commonly given as the date for this - but this was actually first published in 1617). It is a considerable alchemical 'beastie', I gather: http://www.levity.com/alchemy/atalanta.html ).  Notice the resemblance of the pyramid to the 'all-seeing eye' one on the American dollar.  It is possible that the compass hypotenuse demonstrates 47 degrees.*  I looked at the esoterically-charged Albrecht Durer, wondering what, if anything, he did with his compasses.

* Are we looking at the "Obliquity"/"Axial tilt" of the Earth here?  Well, perhaps.  This varies in the range-ish 22.5-24.5 and so means to about 23.5.  A simple experiment involving the two solstices and the midday sun helps derive it: you mark the Midwinter and Midsummer shadows thrown by a stick on the ground with pegs.  Job done (assuming the sun actually shines)!  These values also, as a mean,  roughly accord with the equinox latitudes, often given as 23.5 (23.4394 ...) and often symbolised as "Sts John" or "St Johns" - see my Tarot II (2 - but card 3) page.  Geoffss, 26-01-09.  47 and 1/2 X 47, 23,5, are said to be 2 of the 4 "Cosmic Angles of Freemasonry:

 the 23.5-degree angle, and it's 47-degree double, are two of Freemasonry's "Cosmic Angles," according to Frank C. Higgins in his 1919 book, Ancient Freemasonry: An Introduction to Masonic Archaeology http://www.freewebs.com/garyosborn/235degreereferences.htm

This is ASTRONOMER , late C15th-early C16th AD - and that's the Earth Durer's compasses are resting on.  Equator and ?, well, where? 

Is that a 23.5 angle of the upper compass leg?  It's close.  However there's nothing masonically secretive or hermetically arcane in the idea of an 'obliquity of the ecliptic'.  Apparently, the Chinese knew of it in 1000 BCE and/or Anaximander (and pupil Pythagoras) did, circa C6th BCE, whilst Eratosthenes certainly did circa 200 BCE as confirmed C2nd BCE by Hipparchus, albeit in a geo-centric system.

That's the Baptist on the right, pointing (at 23.5 degrees according to Gary Osborn - and thanks!).  The point I want to make is that, if we accept this as a beginning of a tradition of an association of the Baptist with that angle, then we are doing it BEFORE the word 'John' (47, 2 X 23.5)* is invented!  Was 'John'/47 therefore a deliberate coding for half a year: the movement from Cancer to Capricorn. the (solar) 'decrease' half of the year?  A noteworthy curiosity here is the Baptist birthday - 24th June.  Now that's both just after the Summer Solstice (marking the decline of the sun's beginning) and very close to ... 23.5.

*Thanks to John Pattison, a GHMB watcher (15-05-09): 47 = Grail.

MOVING ON:

In Gematria systems, where alphabet letters command numerical values which are summed to provide values for words and phrases - and possibly therefore influence their design!? - identical outcomes become interchangeable: Tarot = Menorah = Messiah = Joshua = Jesus* = Lucifer.  All are He Phren - Wisdom/Mind Below - 666 (74 X 9).  And this "Lower Mind" rather implies a Higher one, doesn't it?  After all, As Above, So Below works both ways: visit  KING LEAR and MACBETH .

* The association of the 37X table with Jesus has some provenance in the Greek Gematria system: Ihsovs (Ihsous) Xpistos, Jesus Christ, 2388, 37 X 64.

"Mind Below" refers to the physical/pentagonal - as against the spiritual/intellectual/hexagonal.  To move from the latter (Heaven) to the former (Earth) is variously to be "fallen", "cast out of Paradise" and "word/spirit made flesh" - hence 666 being both "the number of a man" and 'Beast".  666 is also an esoteric mathematical reference to the Sun:  it represents the Magic Square (where the 'magic' lies in horizontal and vertical rows summing to identical amounts) sided 6 X 6. Fit the numbers 1-36.  And these, added, sum to 666.  The association of He Phren with 666 is old - the classic Greek Gematria system also throws up this result.  666 can also be identified with the 'Red Dragon' of REVELATION:  it occurs at 12, 3 and 12 X 3 = 36 = 6 X 6 Magic Square of the Sun gives sum 1-36 = 666.

But it's all really just mumbo-jumbo messin' with maths - where many now treat the fancy packaging as the actual substance rather the MAN-MADE gift-wrapping it really is.  For example:  666 is Lucifer (74 X 9)  and 6 6 6 is a 'Venus' at dominoes .... and Venus is ..... Lucifer (Bright Morning Star = that planet).  Its mirror is 999.  999 - 666 = 333
