The Trumpet

Numerous Bible prophecies spotlight a system of successive world-ruling Gentile kingdoms that culminate in the return of Jesus Christ. These successive “beasts,” as they are called, are discussed throughout the Bible, but especially in four prophetic chapters: Daniel 2 and 7, and Revelation 13 and 17.

Daniel 2 describes four successive world-ruling empires: the Chaldean Empire, followed by Medo-Persia, then Greco-Macedonia, and finally the Roman Empire.

These four kingdoms were prophesied to continue in succession right up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

In Daniel 7, the prophet describes four beasts, again representing four Gentile kingdoms, but with special emphasis on the fourth-the Roman Empire.

This beast has 10 horns, which “are ten kings that shall arise” out of, or after, the Roman Empire (verse 24).

Daniel also describes a “little horn” which grew among the 10 horns and uprooted the first three (verse 8).

The meaning of this prophecy is made plain in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 13 only discusses one beast-representing the fourth and final kingdom, the Roman Empire. This beast had seven heads and ten horns, one head of which received a deadly wound.

The Roman Empire existed from 31 B.C. to A.D. 476, at which point the kingdom was crushed.

But its deadly wound was healed just as John prophesied (verse 3).

There were to be 10 resurrections to come out of that Roman Empire (just as Daniel said), the first three of which were uprooted by the “little horn”-implying that they were not altogether Roman, but nevertheless ruled within the ancient Roman territory after the empire collapsed. And that's what happened.

Three barbaric tribes did rule in the region before Justinian restored the Roman Empire in A.D. 554 and effectively “healed” the deadly wound.

Revelation 17 fills in the remaining details.

In this chapter, once again John describes a beast with seven heads, but none of these heads is wounded.

This time a woman, which throughout the Bible symbolizes a church, is riding the beast. She is called a whore in verse 1, and therefore symbolizes a great false church that rides, or heavily influences, this geopolitical beast.

Comparing the historical record with these prophecies makes the meaning undeniably clear.

When Justinian recognized the supremacy of the pope in 554, the Roman Empire was revived. And because of its close association with the Vatican, it eventually assumed the name Holy Roman Empire.

Counting Justinian's empire, there have been six major, historically documented resurrections of the so-called Holy Roman Empire-all of which have been heavily influenced, and in some cases dominated, by the Vatican.

The seventh prophesied empire is now forming in the heart of Europe.

An Unstable Mixture

Those who scoff at the thought of Europe's disparate group of social democracies ever becoming the world's next superpower fail to realize that this is exactly how God said it would happen!

Daniel 2 describes the final resurrection of the Roman Empire as being an unstable mixture of iron and clay.

And we are now in the early stages of economic emergency that will bring these many nations together as the world's next superpower.

The Bible says they will receive their power for “one hour with the beast”-a period that only lasts for about 2½ years. Though short-lived, this awakening beast will display all of the iron-like strength and force of its Roman predecessors.

As Charles Krauthammer explains in his latest essay, Washington's radical swing left has set the United States “on course for decline.”

The stunning demise of the United States as the world's lone superpower is only hastening along these prophetic realities.

In fact, the United States has been on this course for some time now-long before President Obama moved into the White House. But it is true that this radical administration is helping to accelerate America's demise as a world power.

The new liberalism, as Krauthammer calls it, envisions a much weaker, less dominant America that plays on a level field with every other nation.

And as it happens, this abandonment of international primacy abroad perfectly complements the massive expansion of Euro-style domestic programs at home.

“At a time when hundreds of billions of dollars are being lavished on stimulus and other appropriations in an endless array of domestic programs, the defense budget is practically frozen,” he writes.

The Europeans, on the other hand, “made the choice long ago to devote their resources to a vast welfare state. Their expenditures on defense are minimal, as are their consequent military capacities.”

They've been able to afford their social democracies, Krauthammer explains, so long as America has been able to police the world.

But who will stand guard for America if we abandon our military might in favor of massive domestic expenditures, Krauthammer wonders.

Of equal concern, prophetically speaking, what will Europe-the world's largest economy-do once it realizes that America no longer has its back?

As soon as that motley mix of iron and clay coalesces together in support of its prophesied emperor, working in cahoots with the church in Rome, a beast will reawaken in the heart of Europe and turn its attention outward, breaking in pieces “all things,” Daniel prophesied

Prophecy tells!

This will be the seventh and final resurrection of the “Holy” Roman Empire.

Immediately after that, Jesus Christ will establish God's government on Earth!

August 18, 2009

In the previous entry, the Akedah or story of the “binding of Isaac” on Moriah proved enlightening when viewed within the distorted importance the story holds for the occultists and their plans.

An equally important lesson from the Moriah narrative related to phenomena before and after 9/11 includes how nation-influencing angels—both good and evil—can be “loosed” or “bound” above countries based on decisions made by and allowed of national leaders.

In the Moriah example, Abraham’s obedience not only resulted in an angel staying the sacrifice of Isaac, but according to the Genesis Rabba from Judaism’s classical period (a collection of rabbinical homilies on the book of Genesis) Abraham’s submission directly affected the angelic “princes of the heathens” as well.

From Genesis Rabbah, 56:5 we read:

Here God immediately rewards Israel when Abraham binds Isaac to the altar by binding the princes of the heathens—the angels who served as guardians to the heathen nations—thus making them subservient to Israel. But this fettering only lasts while Israel upholds its part of the covenant with God. When Israel fails to do so, God unfetters the princes, and the heathen nations take their revenge on Israel. [1]

In view of recent history and given scriptural support for the idea that supernatural forces can be loosed or bound above nations in response to government conduct, speeches, symbols, rituals and gestures, we note with special interest who history identifies as the spirit that rules the very territory the Bush administration joined the United States in conflict with—

Ahriman is indirectly referred to as the “prince” over Iraq/Babylon in the tenth chapter of Daniel, where the prophet had been fasting and praying for twenty-one days, hoping the God of Israel would see his fast and grant him revelation of Israel’s future.

Ahriman, the most powerful of all dark angels.

On the twenty-first day of his fast, the angel Gabriel appears and informs Daniel, “. . . from the first day thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words” (Dan. 10.12).

If an angel had been dispatched from heaven from the first day, why did it take twenty-one days before he arrived?

Gabriel provided the answer by explaining that a supernatural Persian “prince” had opposed him for twenty-one days. Not until Michael, the archangel, came to assist in this conflict was Gabriel free to continue his journey (Dan. 10.13).

In Persian theology the spirit that opposed Gabriel is identified as Ahriman—enemy of Ahura Mazda.

According to Zoroastrianism, he was the powerful and self-existing evil spirit, from whom war and all other evils had their origin, and the chief of the cacodaemons, or fallen angels, expelled from heaven for their sins.

The Bible identifies him specifically as “the prince of the kingdom of Persia” (Iraq/Iran), the same area that George W. Bush, like his father before him, viewed as integral to the launching of a New World Order.

In this regard the Bush’s were fulfilling prophecy, as the beginning of Babylon was the Tower of Babel, where at the macrolevel Satan’s strategy to formulate a One-World system was initiated.

Thereafter Babylon is viewed as being equivalent to a Satanic world-system at enmity with God and the final “kingdom-spirit” against which God will do battle (Rev. 14:8; 17:5).

The Bush’s are learned men and members of more than one esoteric order, implying that they may have known exactly what they were doing, and why.

Given widespread doctrine among various religious orders concerning this cause-and-effect relationship between binding and loosing of geopolitical supernaturalism, a question arises if during the American invasion of Iraq the Bush administration or a multinational power elite operating behind U.S. political machinations was trying to “bind” something in or above Babylon through “loosing” the Angel in the Whirlwind?

In other words, was an intentional effort made to magically limit interference from Ahriman by summoning the power of Metatron and Shekinah?

Mystical language used by officials during this timeframe did invoke appropriate forces connected to these entities including the Angel in the Whirlwind, the Mother Of All Bombs (MOAB), and even the title by which the U.S. battle plan was launched—”Shekinah,” pronounced “Shock-n-Awe.”

The language here is further connected to Freemasonic rituals and midrashic studies concerning the Moriah event in Genesis 22:4, which says, “Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.”

Just how Abraham was able from a great distance to recognize the exact location where he was to sacrifice Isaac on Moriah is not answered in the Bible, opening to midrashic interpretation that Abraham saw the Shekinah above the mountain in the form of a pillar of fire pointing him to the spot.

Anecdotal Jewish writings use this interpretation to recall the pillars of cloud by day and fire by night that led the Israelites through the wilderness. Freemason writers likewise incorporate this symbolism into their mysticism involving the twin pillars of Enoch, the pillars of Solomon, and those of Masonic lodges.

In the end, the mathematical probability that the speeches, gestures, symbols, emblems and allegories thus connected to 9/11 were mere coincidence is astronomical.

Even the hardiest skeptic is drawn to consider that an occult hand was at work beginning well over 200 years ago and up through this century in the design and layout of the “symbols and emblems” associated with the U.S. cities, buildings, monuments, numbers, and official seals that played a role before, on, and after 9/11.

As David Flynn, author of the best selling book Temple at the Center of Time emailed me to say, “The combined occultic numbers, places, people and timing involved in the ‘terrorist attack’ is so consistent with the [goals of the Mystery organizations] that it goes beyond the agency of mere humans alone.”

Researcher David Bay, Director of Cutting Edge Ministries (www.CuttingEdge.org) agrees, interpreting the events surrounding 9/11 as a catalyst for the last stage of the Masonic Baconian New Atlantis.

Bay points out that even the street design in Government Center in Washington, D.C. “has been cunningly laid out in such a manner that certain Luciferic symbols are depicted by the streets, cul-de-sacs and rotaries… [which demonstrate] that the American continent was to be established as the new ‘Atlantis’, and its destiny was to assume the global leadership of the drive to the New World Order.

That the Masonic dream of Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis launched its final stages in America following 9/11 is intriguing.

The antediluvian Atlantis, which Bacon utilized as metaphor, was mentioned by Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias as laying beyond the Pillars of Hercules (the Straits of Gibraltar).

From the beginning, the United States of America was chosen to lead the world into this kingdom of Antichrist, and Washington, D.C. was to be its capital.” [2]

Bacon, like other medieval thinkers including Descartes and John Dee, was interested in occult and mystical sciences, practicing alchemy and exhibiting an enduring interest in the philosophy and rituals of secret societies, especially as it involved ciphers, symbols and cryptic communication.

The antediluvian Atlantis, which Bacon utilized as metaphor, was mentioned by Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias as laying beyond the Pillars of Hercules (the Straits of Gibraltar).

Bacon employed geometry, mathematics and poetic language as tools for concealing “in plain site” archetypes that only metaphysicians would be able to decipher, in order to find what he had enticingly hidden.

In a drawing on the title page of his Instauratio magna (Great Instauration), Bacon depicted the Pillars of Hercules (using classic Greek Pillars) with a ship sailing through them to conceptualize movement past the limitations of existing scholarship into the area of unlimited scientific and anomalous knowledge, represented in his Rosicrucian utopia The New Atlantis.

History connects these works of Bacon to the Freemasons and Rosicrucians, some of whom believe he was an Ascended Master of Wisdom (Mahatmas) or reincarnated ‘spiritually enlightened being’of the Theosophical concept who had come to bestow hidden knowledge.

Notably, Bacon’s use of pillars and specifically the Pillars of Hercules advanced the popularity of figurative portals, beyond which await the treasure of lost knowledge and paranormal power.

Metaphors related to such pillar mysticism also led to the combination of not two but three pairs of pillars, known as the Three Great Pillars of Freemasonry today.

The importance of these three sets of pillars is commented on by David Stevenson in the Cambridge University book, The Origins of Freemasonry:

“Assuming the pillars were (as in later masonic practice) regarded as flanking the entrance to the lodge, then the mason would be seen when he passed between them as simultaneously entering a holy place (the Temple); acquiring lost knowledge or secrets (as they were also the [Enochian] pillars of knowledge); and venturing from the known to the unknown in search of new worlds (as they were also the Pillars of Hercules)… [this] would have been immensely satisfying in an age that believed that the more complex a symbol was the more powerful and valuable it became.…” [4]

Symbolically, the Twin Towers in New York (as pillars) echoed the Masonic archetype where the Pillars of Hercules, Enoch, and Solomon likewise represented passageways, beyond which one could travel to reclaim what Masons believe was lost in Atlantis, a time known to the Greeks as The Golden Age of Osiris and to the Egyptians as Zep Tepi.

Accordingly, if before 9/11 leaders of truly dark powers determined that the ascendancy for the New Atlantis had arrived, occult magical tradition suggests they might have triggered an event surrounding a mega-ritual-offering (the people who died on 9/11?) powerful enough to move their invisible empire beyond the symbolic pillars in New York—which represented American industrial and financial institutions—by igniting global changes accompanied with appropriate symbolism within the context of ultranational alchemical transformation.

This not only would have been to facilitate a universal call for “order out of chaos” but also to: 1) embed subtle images in the minds of uninitiated citizens for the purpose of creating contagious memes (self-replicating ideas transmitted from mind to mind through imitable phenomena such as speech, symbols, rituals and gestures) in support of a “war on terror” and tolerance of diminishing domestic freedoms; and 2) communicate to initiates around the world that the oracular date for the culmination of their New Atlantis had arrived.

If what happened on 9/11 was thus meant to signal these objectives, it would necessarily be accompanied by appropriate and redundant symbolism communicating to the members of the Order that, to reach the New Atlantis, movement beyond the Pillars (in this case the Twin Towers in New York and what they represented) was occurring.

Regardless how fantastic it seems, a thorough examination of the events happening on, and following 9/11, affirm what linguistic specialists and semioticians I consulted called “persuasive evidence of an open conspiracy,” or, as one flatly stated, “an undeniable occult signature linked to 9/11.”

Some pointed out how the number “11”—a number known as the “eleventh hour” or last opportunity to stop an emergency—turns up repeatedly as a ‘marker’ tied to 9/11.

The phone number called during the emergency (9-11) likewise matches the date on which the Twin Towers were attacked.

But in occult numerology, the number 11 means much more than this. It is the first Master Number and represents a dark vision.

When doubled to 22, the vision is combined with action. When tripled to 33—the signal of the highest and most important action in Freemasonry—it means vision and action have combined to produce accomplishment in the world.

Is it therefore mere coincidence that exactly 11 years to the date following George H. W. Bush’s “New World Order” speech (and 11 years before 2012), on September 11, 2001, flight 11 crashed into the Twin Towers, whose appearance side by side not only formed a Masonic-like Pillared Gateway but architecturally the number 11?

Also consider that Flight 11 hit the Twin Towers first and Flight 11 had 11 crew members.

Flight 11 also had 92 passengers: 9+2 = 11;

The date of the attack (9/11) equals the number eleven thus 9+1+1 = 11;

September 11th is the 254th day of the year and 2+5+4 = 11;

Following September 11th there are 111 days remaining in the year;

New York was the 11th state added to the Union;

New York City has 11 letters;

Afghanistan, the first nation the U.S. attacked following 9/11 has 11 letters;

George W Bush has 11 letters;

The Pentagon, also attacked on 9/11, has 11 letters;

Flight 77—an additional twin Master Number—hit the Pentagon, which is located on the 77th meridian, and the foundation stone for the Pentagon was laid in 1941 on September 11 in a Masonic ceremony.

While numerous additional references to the number 11 exist in connection with the events of 9/11, other important dates, equally marked by the number 11, also changed the course of history.

For instance, the end of World War One in 1918 occurred on the 11th day of the 11th month at exactly the 11th hour when the Armistice agreement with Germany came into effect.

Another example is the assassination of John F. Kennedy in the Masonic Dealey Plaza on the 11th month, the 22nd day, and on the 33rd parallel (note the occult numerological equation again 11, 22, 33 for “vision, action, accomplishment”).

More important, the Bible connects the number 11 with the coming of Antichrist in the Book of Daniel.

When referring to the beast with 10 horns (Roman Empire), the prophet, as he was considering these horns, said, “there came up among them another little horn” (Dan. 7:8). According to scholars, this 11th horn is the Antichrist who will derive power from a revived Roman Empire and New World Order, which some believe was earnestly set in motion on 9/11.

Lastly, in Jewish mysticism and esoteric numerology, the number 11 is considered “the essence of all that is sinful, harmful, and imperfect.” [3]

555 means change in numerology.
555 means triple death in Gods numbers.
555 days after Sept 11 2001 Iraq was invaded, Hence much blood has been spilt since that day.

In terms of numerology if you are thinking bad karma thoughts and you get a code that contains 1's, 4's and 6's then try to relax and think good thoughts.

Note the photograph of George W. Bush and Bob Beckwith on Sept 11 2001 where Bob's helmet has 164 on it. And that day was a very bad karma day!.

8's are the same for numerology and Gods numbers. Both mean 'buckle up for a major change ahead'. The Chinese olympics started at 8:08:08 PM and look at the changes that have happened in the world since August 2008 !.

Upon watching The History Channel recently, was a program, about the lost book of Nostradamus. As a born again christian, I never put much stock in extra biblical prophets.

But on this paeticular show, the year 2012 was studied. I don't have time to explain all the galactic alignments of this date,except to say, that at exactly 11:11pm EST. Is when the sun aligns with our galactic center for he first time in 13,000 years !!!

If you know anythingabout the Myan's and their calendar, the ancient sumerians etc. December, 21. 2012 is purported to be the end of the age. Now I know the exact time of day, 11:11 pm. This is so curious it cannot be ignored.

Relatively recently a small circle of individuals have injected into the Christian Church a paradigm shift in Antichrist thinking.

They advocate that this beastly individual has Assyrian origins.

Oddly the book of Daniel, which seemingly issues the most pivotal prophecy regarding the origin of this personage, does not once mention the Hebrew word Ashur, or Ashshur, which is translated as Assyria, or Assyrian.

This is striking in that among all the prophetic books within the Bible, perhaps excepting the book of Revelation, the book of Daniel alludes to this individual as much, if not more than, all the others.

Daniel calls this individual by several names like the beast, representing his hostile disposition, and the horn, alluding to his authority; however, he never labels him the “Assyrian”.

Similarly, Daniel issues numerous telling descriptions of him; like he speaks pompous words and declares himself above all that is called God, but the one who hails from Assyria, is never referenced among Daniel’s defining terms.

Perhaps one might think that Daniel was given information about the Antichrist, but not necessarily about his ancestral roots.

However, Daniel 9:26 refutes this presumption in that it gives us the most detailed literal account within the entirety of scripture as to the origin of this individual.

Therein we are informed that the Antichrist will originate from the people who would eventually destroy the city of Jerusalem, and the sanctuary, referring to the second Jewish temple.

According to world history books and traditional Church teaching this was accomplished by the Roman Empire, which In 70 A.D. did indeed destroy both the City of Jerusalem and the second Jewish Temple in apparent fulfillment of Daniel’s powerful prophecy.

Hence the book of Daniel, rather than being vague about the origins of the Antichrist, could easily be considered the foremost book of Bible authority on the subject matter.

To date the best argument I’ve heard advanced by these Assyrian Antichrist advocates to refute Daniel’s claims, is that it wasn’t actually the Romans who destroyed Jerusalem and the temple. Rather, they argue that the Roman legion(s) responsible for the destruction consisted largely of Assyrian soldiers.

This argument shows its weakness in several areas.

First, thematically the book of Daniel deals primarily with four Gentile world empires: the Babylonians, Medo-Persians, Greeks, and the Romans.

Secondly, historical precedence typically dictated that the subservient soldiers of any ruling kingdom or empire became the subjects of that kingdom or empire.

In this instance, even though the Roman Empire was known to employ non-Roman troops within its ranks, such as defeated Assyrians, these troops operated solely under the command of their Roman leadership. The legions that destroyed Jerusalem and the Jewish temple did not do so out of their own independent accord, but acted solely under the direct authority and instruction of the Roman Empire.

A secondary Assyrian Antichrist argument has been advanced that the Roman Empire, after the death of Theodosius 1 in 395 AD, underwent an East / West split and that the Eastern section could be considered as much a part of the Roman empire that Daniel referred to as could the Western.

Daniel did seem to foretell of such a split in Daniel 2:33 where he described the fourth Gentile empire having legs made of iron.

Since “legs” is in the plural most scholars concur that Daniel’s fourth empire refers to the Roman Empire, and that Daniel was describing such a split.

The Assyrian advocates suggest that the Antichrist arises out of the Eastern leg, since the Western leg today best describes the European Union, which is not geographically connected to ancient Assyria.

In Daniel's time Assyria encompassed modern day Syria and parts of Northern Iraq.

There are two primary arguments against the Eastern leg being the leg from which the Antichrist comes: the "Historical" and the "Prophetical".

The Historical argument will conclude part one of this article and the Prophetical will be discussed in part two.

The Historic argument is based upon the understanding that the capital city of the Roman Empire at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem and the second Jewish temple was in Rome, which then and today is located in the Western leg of the former empire.

This provides at least one solid argument that the Beast does not come from the East.

Furthermore, much of the Eastern leg of the Roman Empire was swallowed up by the Turkish Ottoman Empire during its reign from 1517 to 1917; especially the territory formerly recognized as ancient Assyria.

As such today the former Assyrian territory has no Roman connection.

The prophetic argument starts with Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 & 39 and concludes with several chapters in the book of Revelation.

To preface the prophetic argument one must first understand that the Assyrian advocates need the Antichrist to be a Muslim.

This is quite obvious, since should this devilish character emerge on the world scene soon out of Assyria, a predominately Islamic territory, the logical conclusion is that he would be a Muslim.

After all, Daniel did make a religious connection with this individual when he said in Daniel 11:36, “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods…”

Some of the Assyrian proponents have suggested that the harlot religious system of Revelation 17 is Islam and that it is the magic carpet so to speak, upon which the Beast rides into world power.

Thus to diffuse the Assyrian argument we must address the role of Islam in the agenda of the Antichrist.

Some, like Joel Rosenberg, Dr. David Reagan, myself, and others, have suggested that in the aftermath of the fulfillment of the Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 & 39 prophecies, Islam is dramatically diminished.

The theory is that both of these prophecies likely occur before the Antichrist arrives on the world scene and that the 19 populations involved in these two major sequential prophetic events, which go down in defeat, are all predominately Islamic.

Thus the conclusion can be drawn that when the Beast from the West arrives, he will find Islam as a religion largely irrelevant and of little utility in his bid for world dominance.

Needless to say, the Assyrian advocates have to group the Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 & 39 events all into the Antichrist’s Armageddon campaign for this reason.

Islam cannot be diminished prior to Armageddon since, in their estimation, the Antichrist is a Muslim.

I will presume that the reader is familiar with the Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 & 39 prophetic events and move on to address the Revelation argument in part two of this article series.

If not I recommend the following books: Footsteps of the Messiah by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, Epicenter by Joel Rosenberg, Northern Storm Rising by Ron Rhodes, and Isralestine by yours truly.

"Temple
at the Center of Time" by David Flynn
is a book receiving a lot of interest
these days.

I’ve never read Mr. Flynn’s
book about "Cydonia" but I’ve
read and noted the rave reviews. I once
interviewed David and tried to grasp the
intellectual prowess exuded, which was
light years ahead of my simplistic
thinking.

I was very interested in David’s
new book, which promised to be a
bombshell.

Outstanding
author Lynn Marzulli (www.spiraloflife.com)
got a sneak peek at it and he gushed over
it on my show, The Big Finale.

Flynn
sets us up for the "big news" by
making the following statement in the
introduction:

"During
the formation of modern science and
philosophy of the 17^th century,
the highest achievement lay not in the
realm of discovery, but in
rediscovery."

Ah,
rediscovery. This is a very ambitious
opening statement, indeed. I looked
forward to a groundbreaking read as I
turned to Chapter One.

The full
title of the book is," Temple
at the Center of Time: Newton’s Bible
Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012."
Chapter One immediately delves into the
life and work of Sir Isaac Newton.

Newton
was not only a great thinker in physics
but he also had extensive knowledge of the
Scriptures.

As the
book states, Isaac Newton understood the
riddle of prophecy- a code, if you will,
or perhaps a type of encrypted language
lost on the masses by, among other things,
time.

Newton
believed that the end of days would happen
in his lifetime and, therefore, studied
prophecy obsessively.

He published a work
titled, " Observations upon the
Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of
St. John."

Newton
lived during a time of plague and an
"end of the world" comet that
shook the English.

As the
book explains:

"For
two years during the fearsome plague and
the fire of London, he lived with his
mother at his home in Woolsthorpe,
England. It was during this time, termed
by biographers as ‘the two miraculous
years,’ that Newton developed every
revolutionary scientific work for which he
is famous. It is a distinct possibility
that the productivity of Newton’s
miraculous years stemmed from his
conviction that the end of the age was
upon the Earth."

Turning
to ancient Babylon, "Temple at the
Center of Time" (or, more
specifically, author David Flynn) explains
Newton’s expert understanding and
analysis of the history of the Magi of
Babylon. Magi had been in direct contact
with the Prophet, Daniel.

"Despite
the world renown of the Magi, the Bible
records that Daniel was master of them
all."

What
follows is a complex explanation of Newton’s
understanding of the ancient languages of
Scripture and cryptography as used in his
decoding of passages in the book of
Daniel.

Newton’s
book found great importance to a
discussion on the Temple of Solomon.

In
fact, he spent a chapter focusing on the
length measurements. He believed that the
Temple intersected time and dimension,
serving as a prophetic and supernatural
structure.

Both the first and second
Temples symbolized the timing of prophecy.

Jerusalem
itself is set in a pivotal locale.

"The
description of Jerusalem as a terrestrial
center point’, situated in the center of
the world,’ is found in Philo’s
Legatio and Gaium.

The Babylonian Talmud
states,"

"The
world is like a human eyeball. The white
of the eye is the ocean surrounding the
world, the iris is this continent, the
pupil is Jerusalem, and the image in the
pupil is the Holy Temple."

Flynn
examines the Ark of the Covenant and its’
symbolic representation of God’s
interaction within the temporal existence.
He uses a lot of impressive measurements
which seem to be prophetically accurate in
their own right.

For instance, the author
explains", modern satellite
measurements between the temple mount in
Jerusalem and the center of ancient
Babylon correspond perfectly to the year
and month of Babylon’s fall."

Chapter
three discusses nautical miles. It’s
pretty heavy stuff. While I personally can’t
confirm the substance of these
measurements (the old, trusty tape measure
I use only goes up to three feet), it’s
pretty fascinating and it’s obvious the
author has done a lot of homework.

It
seems that a lot of Biblical names, events
and locations have ‘hidden’ meaning
that are prophetic and purposeful.

Case in
point:

"In
the case of Patmos, where St. John wrote
Revelation, the distance in nautical miles
seems to reflect the prophetic content of
Daniel’s writing of the last days."
Did I just hear a collective ‘wow’?

Flynn
delves in head first with some absolutely
amazing figures between locations and
events that cannot be coincidental.

Clearly, the author’s
findings are unlike anything I’ve ever
seen. Simply calling it mind-blowing is
not even scratching the surface of justly
defining this book. David Flynn has, to be
sure, unearthed mysteries obscured by
time.

In my
opinion, Mr. Flynn proves that distances
represent historical and prophetic points.

"Temple
at the Center of Time" discusses the
significance of the number 33.

For
instance, 33% of one third of an hour is
19 minutes and 48 seconds. Yes, 1948
(remember what happened that year?).

"Temple"
devotes a chapter to the Ark with more
Earth shattering measurements guaranteed
to send your brain reeling.

Even the moon’s
measurements and the Earth’s
measurements appear to play a part in God’s
extensive revealing of Himself in our
universe and world.

Subsequent
chapters detail important information on
the foundation stone, the Dome of Spirits,
Napoleon Bonaparte, the Great Pyramid of
Giza, and British sacred measurement.

Amazing
also is Avebury Circle, the massive
"megalithic structure" in
Europe. It is of unknown origin and age,
yet its’ measurements "are a
geometric representation of the same
numbers encrypted in Daniel’s writing on
the wall." Incredible, isn’t it?

Here’s
another interesting puzzle piece:

"The
latitude of the Avebury Circle was
established with such precision that it
underscores the importance of ‘2520’
as key to the circle’s intended
message."

Later in
the same chapter another piece connects:

"If
2,520 years are counted forward from the
fall of Babylon in 539 B.C. and the 33
years that Christ walked the Earth are
subtracted, the year is A.D. 1948, the
rebirth of Israel."

Well into
the book, David Flynn tackles the number
666 and the Antichrist.

Yes, there are
nautical miles involved in the temple that
also tell the story of the number of the
beast. Fascinating!

As
"Temple" points out, Newton did
eventually come to realize that the end of
days would probably not happen in his
lifetime.

Newton
believed the year could be 2060.

"As
described by the prophet Daniel, and John
in Revelation, the revived Roman Empire
would rule for one "week," a
period of 7 times 360 days, or 2,520 days
total (also, remember the value of the
writing on the wall).

In the midst of this
week, at 1,260 days, the Antichrist will
desecrate the future temple in Jerusalem.

However, instead of assigning 1,260 days
of the Antichrist’s reign before his
desecration of the temple, Newton assigned
years."

Newton
also believed that in that day the Pope
would be the Antichrist.

There is
also an unbelievable chapter on crop
circles with an explanation I hadn’t
considered.

There is
also a chapter on America that is worth
the price of the book alone.
