The “great fish” represents the darkness of ignorance which engulfs man

By Manly P. Hall – The story of Jonah is really a legend of initiation into the Mysteries, and the “great fish” represents the jonahwhaledarkness of ignorance which engulfs man when he is thrown over the side of the ship (is born) into the sea (life).

The custom of building ships in the form of fishes or birds, common in ancient times, could give rise to the story, and mayhap Jonah was merely picked up by another vessel and carried into port, the pattern of the ship causing it to be called a “great fish.” (“Veritatis simplex oratio est!”) (more…)

Who is the Antichrist?

The meaning of the English word Christ is “anointed or messiah.” It is derived from the Old English Crīst, from the Latin Antichrist 3Christus, and originally from the Greek Khristos (ancient Greek: Χριστός, Christós), a noun use of an adjective meaning ‘anointed,’ from khriein ‘anoint,’ translating Hebrew māšīaḥ ‘Messiah.’

The meaning of the word anti is to be against. A person who is opposed to something, such as a group, policy, proposal, or practice. In the bible, the Antichrist could be considered to be against the Christian church, its policies or practices.

Many of the Church fathers and Saints such as St. Irenaeus, St. Jerome, St. Hippolytus, St. Ambrose, St. Bede, St. Gregory the Great, Theodoret, Aretas of Caesarea, and many others said he will be of the tribe of Dan, and that the Antichrist will be a Jew. Aretas, St. Bede, Haymo, and St. Anselm affirm that for this reason the tribe of Dan is not numbered among the tribe who are sealed in the Apocalypse.

You will find that the actual name “Antichrist” is only spoken about by the Apostle John a few times in the bible via the verses John 2:18, 2:22, 4:3, and 2 John 7. He tells us that there are “many Antichrists” who will appear between the time of Christ’s first and Second Coming, but there will be one great antichrist who will rise to power during the end times, or “last hour.” (more…)

The Secret Rites of Gnosis Controlled by the Church and Secret Societies

The famous phrase against the ancient Gnostic Heretics known as the Cathars says it all “Kill them all – the Lord will Serpent worship 2know his own.” It was allegedly written in 1233 by Pope Gregory IX who issued a formal letter denouncing them as a sect of devil-worshippers, whose practices he described as being immoral and downright evil. This attack by the church on Heretics is an example of a time we still live in today that I like to call “The Secret Rites of Gnosis Controlled by the Church and Secret Societies.”

For the purpose of this article, I would like to explain in simple terms what happened to the old-time religion of Gnosis. You see, in ancient times around 3,500-2,000 year ago, there was a global Gnostic religion that was practiced by many nations. It can be called the religion of Gnosis symbolized by the famous symbol found world-wide being that of the serpent and or dragon. It was by no means a unified religion and many of these nation states had constantly warred with one another.

Evidence of this old religion can be in all parts of the globe. Wherever there were massive empires and or evidence of a highly advanced people to be discovered, more often than not, there can always be found archeological artifacts of the serpent Gnostic religion.

As I have stated many times in the past, early Christianity is nothing but a unified exoteric form of this religion. Meaning that the ancient teachings of Gnosis were not at all lost and or permanently destroyed, but were secretly encoded into the teachings of Jesus and the Saints of the Universal (Catholic) Church who after all, were Gnostics themselves. They were just part of the Sethian initiates of the official organized Roman and Greek unified schools of Gnosticism backed by the world’s most powerful armies and strategists. (more…)

The Priests and Symbol of the Bell

A bell is a simple sound instrument and device that was originally invented for and used primarily Symbols - Priesys of bellfor religious services. It was said that bells would be employed in religious functions of the priest to frighten and keep evil spirits away. Bells were often buried in the tombs of royalty and noblemen. Many famous ancient bells have been preserved through the ages.

Bells were often used to notify people outside the church so that they knew the exact moment when the Hebrew High Priest entered the most holy place, and that church services were about to begin.

The priest would be clothed in splendid vestments of blue, red and purple, trimmed with pomegranates and little golden bells, greeting and blessing the people. We can find bells today with the many Holy bells of the Roman Catholic, Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches. Similar bells can be found with the Buddhists, the Brahmins, Indians and Shamans to name a few. (more…)

Pergamon: The Throne and City of Satan

Revelation 2:12 “Pergamos. Where Satan’s throne is.”Throne of satan

In the ancient Cretan city of Pergamon (Pergamum) is said to be the City and Throne of Satan, and home to one of the seven churches written about by Saint John in the Book of Revelation. It was the original uncorrupted church of Christ that later became the seat of Antichrist or Throne of Satan.

Today, this church would represent the Catholic from the time of Constantine, and onward. For the church it represents the principal seat at Rome, where Satan dwelt, Revelation 2:13; which signifies exalted likewise; and it introduces the man of sin, antichrist, the popes of Rome, who exalted themselves above all that is called God, princes, kings, and emperors.
