Women Of Grace - New Age Church / Occult / Vatican?

The Vatican is full of pagan symbols, as is the Roman Catholic Church in general. Thank the Lord he preserved so much of the bible and then gave us more confirmation and insight via the Dead Sea Scrolls and other finds, providing what we have today. Otherwise we really would be left without adequate light.

I've just read an article tying in the occult symbology of St Peters Basilica with not only paganism, but also some political symbols in the USA today. I looked further, and just wanted to share some things.

So, whether you know of the pagan, occult connections in the Vatican, or if you've just read some via this article, here's a wesite that at first glance appeared to me to be  Protestant, but it's actually Catholic. Look deeper again and it's a thin veneer of a 'Christian' front applied over some rather dark roots.
http://www.womenofgrace.com/blog/?p=553. The cited article explains: "According to the website of St. Peter’s Basilica, the obelisk standing in St. Peter’s Square came from Heliopolis, Egypt where it was believed to have been built by the Pharaoh Mencares in 1835 B.C. in honor of the sun. It is hewn from a single block of pink granite and stands 25.31 m high on a base that is 8.25 m wide. It was brought to Rome by Caligula in 37 B.C. and intended to be erected in the Vatican Circus". The article finishes with "The obelisk in St. Peter’s Square may have come from a pagan culture but it has been thoroughly “baptized” and now stands where it does as an expression of the conquering power of the Church".

Beware of smiling apologists for the Vatican or New Age religion. They will try to make this look so reasonable, so inoffensive; but we must look carefully, for their image and words are carefully crafted! The Vatican is showing its dominionist nature more clearly under Pole Francis, and he's ready to integrate not only other denominations, but other faiths too!  The Lucifer Ian's, who have been in the shadows, are getting bolder in their pronouncements, and their recent announcements that "time's up" via a number of symbolic means indicates their leader, the "Ante-Christ" (ante- meaning substitute for, or likeness of) is quite likely waiting in the wings. It's my humble opinion this Jesuit Pope may be the one who, because he seems to work for the Beast, may throw the Woman (see Revelation for context) off it's back. This Looks may be the one who leaves behind the shell of the Roman Catholic Church and elevates himself as leader of the New Age, One World Religion!

The thing about deception is that it's preys on lack of knowledge and understanding. Don't be deceived. Be prepared. Time is genuinely short. When I started writing this BLOG, I wasn't convinced the End Time was upon us. I am however seeing more and more signs that the time is closing in.

Speaking of the timing of things, Yeshua Mashiach (Jesus the Christ) didn't say "No one knows when the Son of Man will return". Those who think that lack context! He said he will "return at the hour no one knows". The Hour No One Knows" is understood very well by Jewish scholars who understand the Ceremonial Law, but Western Christians don't generally dig deep enough into Hebrew / Jewish history and culture and its illumination on The Law (Pentateuch) to understand properly. The Time No One Knows refers to the new moon, which starts the new month. The calendar at the time the Law was given to Israel by Jehovah was a lunar agrarian calendar. This calendar was no longer used when the Jews went into Babylonian captivity because they simply couldn't see the new moon at Jerusalem! They knew the time was coming. They understood the signs (phases of the moon). The just didn't know the exact day. But they did know the time within a day or so, and we should have similar understanding of the times because of the signs we see fulfilled from biblical prophecy.

It's time to read your bible guys. Not the NIV, Good News, Living Bible or other corrupted or abbreviated firm, but a good solid version like the New King James, the English Standard Version (ESV) or the International Standard Version (ISV). It's also time to use a King James version so you can look up words in the Vine's Bible Dictionary and the Strongs Exhaustive Concordance. Maybe then progress to an 'interlinear' which shows the root text next to the English, enabling you to do more research and analysis. My advice is get yourself a bible from the Sword project. The Windows one used to be named e-Sword. The Android version is 'My Sword'. You'll be able to download different bible versions, dictionaries, concordances and commentaries.

AI and Virtual Worlds; the Multiverse, Transhumanism & Religion

I find the ramifications of AI scary. The science itself is fascinating. What it could lead to in the wrong hands is scary, and I think we've heard enough of rogue nations, corrupt individuals and crazy spot agencies to realise there are plenty of 'wrong hands' out there!

There is definitely, in my mind anyway, a correlation between areas of advanced physics like the multiverse and what are see happening in areas connected to our quest for spiritual realities. The multidimensional worlds these guys are trying to manufacture in software is directly related to what physics is telling us, which also correlates to possibilities intelligent bible scholars delve into. As CERN and other agencies try to open Stargates or Portals to other dimensions (yes, they have actually published this), we are also encouraging people to venture into other worlds via a biological/hardware interface (transhumanism).

Does this all seem a bit like like The Matrix? Possibly so. The biological entities in that physical reality had been made unaware of their physical reality, and immersed in another, virtual, reality. How far was the author ahead of his time! In the ranks of futurists, maybe not at all. In the world of 'Everyman', exceedingly so.

This then begs the question: "If the science of the Matrix, which is over a decade old, is starting to appear very possible; what is the view of futurists now, and how much of that is based on theoretical physics, in particular quantum mechanics?" And given CERN has a statue of the Indian god Khali displayed and have talked quite spiritually at stages, how big a party do ideas of religion, alien gods, Gaia, emerging into the New Age reincarnation. That's a big subject, and I'm no expert ; but it is one I'm interested in, and one which affects me because science is now starting to validate spiritual things, not debunk them.

The important thing is the framework into which we assimilate new knowledge, and what that means for our stance regarding adoption of new technologies. Will we blindly be led into territory experimental physicists, futurists and the ultra wealthy want us to go, or will we consider their propositions in the light of our beliefs and what the bible seems to say about these things.

Israeli News from a Jewish Perspective

This site is written from a Jewish perspective, which doesn't recognize Yeshua Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah), but shows what sums leading minds see in development of biblical prophecy.

7th of Hanukkah

We have only a handful of days left in 2016. I'm up late at night and felt prompted to look at Jewish high days left in this calendar year. It's 30th December, so there's only hours left. This video puts forth a perspective based on the Bible, on Jewish holy days and on available news of global political leadership.

I'm not saying this video is 100% right. I am saying it's very interesting. We live in interesting times. Be prepared for sudden events to overtake us, and have some food (rice, lentils) and cash on hand. But above all, make sure you know Jesus as your Lord: not as your push button vending machine and master of exciting worship.

Following through briefly on finances, although there's been a stream of warnings from The Daily Reckoning...

The Aussie dollar has collapsed since 2011.
From a high of US$1.10, the dollar plunged to a six-year low of 69 US cents in August last year.
That’s a 45% drubbing.
Sure, we’ve had some respite this year. The Aussie dollar has climbed back above 70 US cents. But as Daily Reckoning editor Greg Canavan points out, the dollar is about to hit a wall.
Greg predicts the dollar could fall through the 60 cent level and plummet as low as 50 cents in 2017.

So how does a falling Aussie dollar affect you? If the political landscape changes immensely, if the Pope leaves leading the Roman Catholic Church to work hand in hand with Obama, if we get more servers rather events and maybe wars, what space will your head be in? Do you know the one who can wash away fear and save the soul?

If you don't know him, he's commonly known as Jesus Christ, but perhaps more accurately as Yashua Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah).

Understanding of forming an opinion at to do this is affects the way you see prophecy. Many commentators ignore historical beliefs totally and interpret based on today's view only. That's a mistake. Walter Veith teaches based on historical understanding,  which is something he's very good at. https://youtu.be/QL4oxdylE5Y

Signs: U.S. fears overdue 'megathrust' earthquake will trigger tsunami and decimate unprepared cities on north-west coast

U.S. fears overdue 'megathrust' earthquake will trigger tsunami and decimate unprepared cities on north-west coast

• Cascadia fault line has lain dormant for 300 years
• Eruption could trigger tsunami, devastating seaside communities - and reach as far as Japan

The north-west coast of the U.S. could be devastated by a huge movement of undersea plates known as a ‘megathrust’ earthquake, scientists say.

A review of the dangers posed by the Juan de Fuca plate released in the wake of the Japanese quake has raised fears that the Pacific seaboard could be similarly ravaged.

The horrifying possibilities have been brought to light by data researched by the Active Tectonics and Seafloor Mapping Laboratory at Oregon State University.

And the results are shown in a documentary, Megaquake: The Hour That Shook Japan, which is set to go out on the Discovery Channel in the UK this weekend.

Disaster zone? A huge 'megathrust' earthquake could spark a tsunami and devastate the U.S. northwest if the Juan de Fuca plate is forced further under the North America plate on the Cascadia fault line

The huge March 11 earthquake that sparked the tsunami off the coast of Japan may have been a ‘megathrust’ quake and now researchers fear the Cascadia fault line 50 miles off the U.S. coast could rupture and cause a quake and subsequent tsunami.

The average time along that fault between massive quakes above magnitude 8 is 240 years, said The Times, and the last 'megaquake' was just over 300 years ago.

'Megathrusts' are the world's largest earthquakes, and happen in a 'subduction zone', a region where one of the earth's tectonic plates is thrust under another. The last one involving Cascadia was estimated at magnitude 9 on the Richter scale, according to Natural Resources Canada.

The Juan de Fuca plate is being forced under the North America plate along the Cascadia fault and, as large parts of the plates are locked together, stress is being built up until an eventual breakage causes a massive earthquake.

Professor Chris Goldfinger, director of the Laboratory at Oregon State University, told the newspaper that their information showed an increase in pressure at the plates: 'It's loading a spring for a future earthquake, there's no doubt about that.'

And geologist Jeffrey Park, director of the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies, said in a recent - separate - article: 'History tells us that more megathrust earthquakes could occur in the next decade, but we have no evidence that the recent rate of nearly one megathrust per year will persist for longer than that.'

Cascadia, which stretches from Vancouver island to northern California, has been dormant for over 300 years but scientists now believe there is a 45 per cent probability of an earthquake of an 8.0 magnitude or higher in the next 50 years. They add there is a 15 per cent chance of magnitude 9 or more.

WHAT IS A ‘MEGATHRUST’ EARTHQUAKE?

• All six earthquakes with a 9.0 magnitude or higher since 1900 have been megathrust quakes
• They occur when a tectonic plate is forced under another
• Megathrusts are most common in the Pacific and Indian oceans
• The March 11 earthquake in Japan has been classed as a 9.0 quake and can be called a megathrust 
• The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, which killed over 230,000 people, was caused by a 'megathrust'

Such a quake could produce a massive tsunami and engulf the Pacific Northwest coast, affecting Oregon, Washington state and Vancouver Island, according to The Times, with a tsunami with waves of up to 30metres high and potentially reaching Japan.

The threat is all the more serious as several cities in the north-west of the U.S. are not adequately prepared for the type of devastation a ‘megathrust’ quake could wreak.

An upgrade programme is currently underway to protect the settlements most at risk.

Skyscrapers built in Seattle before 1994 - prior to more stringent building regulations - would be liable to collapse and countless small coastal communities could be swept away due to flooding. Some 1,000 schools in Oregon are reportedly judged to have poor resistance to eruptions, but the refurbishment is not set to be completed until 2032.

However, experts are unable to be specific about when a quake could hit.

‘We don't know how to tell you, “Hey, next week, you know, get out of town there's going to be a big earthquake”,’ Tom Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Centre, told The Times.

John McCloskey, Professor of Geophysics at the University, added: ‘The problem with using a recurrence timeline is that earthquakes can be more like buses, coming two or three at a time rather than regularly.

‘We need a vision of what the biggest quake is likely to be in a region and then protect against that.’

End Time News: 6.2 Magnitude Earthquake hits Philippines

UK Today News: The Seismological Institute of the Philippines reported today that an Earthquake of Magnitude 6.2 struck the west of Manila, Philippines.

Reports say that many buildings felt the shock of the Manila earthquake which forced all employees to run out of the buildings into the streets. As for now its no damage or casualties are reported.

The earthquake is reported to be about 10km under the sea.

The epicenter was located 86 miles (139 km) from the capital, Manila, Philippines. , and was about 72 kilometers (45 miles) deep.

The world has seen a number of earthquakes taking place ever since 2010 began – the most destructive being the Haiti earthquake in Jan 2010 and the Chile earthquake in Feb 2010.
