Entry number 28... where the eagles are gathered...

Well, now, considering the recent announcement in regard to the Eagles much-anticipated appearance locally here in Eugene, Oregon, I understand that the date of their appearance is set for the 28th day of May... 5/28... so, this seems to be an appropriate place for my first post tonight, which will be number 1111...
I told you, I think, about the 'eagles,' and their symbolism in ancient times... they served as 'psychopomps,' or, in other words, they were escorts for the spirits of the dead, from one 'world' to the next. One reason that the eagle is chosen as one of the four 'creatures' of the 'chariot' of 'God,' you see...?
Now, the symbolism isn't lost on me... and the fact that they've chosen to make Eugene one of their stops seems extremely... serendipitous. I can't say I'm unhappy... I mean... if you have to go... go with the eagles, right Sam? Right, Frodo?
At any rate, I'd love to be there... who knows that I won't? Or wasn't...
Twenty-eight is the second perfect number. As a perfect number, it is related to the Mersenne prime 7, since 22(23 - 1) = 28. The next perfect number is 496, the previous being 6.
Twenty-eight is the third Granville number. The next Granville number is 96, the previous being 24.
Twenty-eight is the sum of the totient function for the first nine integers.
Twenty-eight is not the aliquot sum of any number other than itself and is therefore not a component in an aliquot sequence.
Since the greatest prime factor of 282 + 1 = 785 is 157, which is more than 28 twice, 28 is a Størmer number.
Twenty-eight is a harmonic divisor number, a happy number, a triangular number, a hexagonal number, and a centered nonagonal number.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_%28number%29
The Dr. Allendy observes that the number 28 combines cyclic times: 4 and the evolutionary times: 7. "It is the spiral of the evolution unfolding among the perpetual cycles of the nature; it is the being progressed in the permanent oscillations of the Cosmos". From the mystical viewpoint, this number shows the Initiate, 8, bringing back the antagonism of the cosmic force, 20, to the unit - 2 + 8 = 10.
The 28 lunar houses - seven times four.
Numerical value of the word "good" in Hebrew, tob, according to Abellio
The number 28 is used 5 times in the Bible.
The number 13 is used 28 times in the Bible.

But none of that was what I really meant to say... what I meant to say was this...
“For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass (body) is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” -Matthew 24:27-28
Coincidentally...
And, by the way, I did want to say 'thank you' for the Everlong... I've been missing the Foo Fighters...
So, I think I'll play that one again,- the acoustic version...
Top of the morning to you... last edit, let's see... 11 hours ago...
Perfect.
I'm going to continue with this number for a while, since it seems kind of 'lucky,' if you ask me, and I've got to take it where I can get it around here... so I do.
Take the 'law of five' thing... Notice the month mentioned above is 5... 5/28. I told you that the rules of any game are the same for both sides, didn't I?... so, I can use the 'law of five' in my own favor, if I choose to. That, and a good Mox card... and, the number of 'good' seems to be 28... how do you like that? That seems kind of 'lucky' to me, too, but then... I may be a little bit superstitious. I'm going to take on the 13, shortly, so I like to look on the 'bright' side. Where I was apparently blinded by the light...
I see that 'Third Eye Blind' is coming to town... wow. I still dig that band, too... I used to play one of their tunes a lot... this one:
I'd love to see it 'live'... maybe I Will...
Anyway, the post above was totally unplanned, but it leads naturally into the post that I had planned for the 'resurrection of the Just,' which nobody here seems to understand... ahem... but the next few verses of this passage begin to explain, I think. You may start without me, if you care to, since I have to run a quick errand, and then I plan to get to my subject for the day. Well, that, and my theory on 'global warming;' no kidding... I figure it's got to make as much sense as Al Gore's theory... but I do somewhat believe in Man-Bear-Pig... and the Mamsquatch. You should avoid caves for that reason... at least.
How can you not believe in somebody who pins a towel to his shoulders like my one-time neighbor kid, little Brucey? He was always kind of strangely loveable... hay, Bruce...
And, take it easy with that chainsaw-thing... you're making the pansies nervous.
Speaking of which, I think I'll get myself a "Nutty Bar"... I just saw Will Ferrell dressed up as 'Little Debbie,' and my "Nutty Bar" habit may never be the same...
Hay, Will Ferrell... I have a real hankering for more peanut butter...
Oh, yes... and I think I know what CERN is doing. No, really...
The 'Jundi Shapur' Institute of Technology has been busy, I think... and while you've all been busy watching their 'Dance of a Thousand Chickens' (see the MIT dictionary for this particular feat of legerdemain, known as 'Waving a Dead Chicken,' but amplified, let's say), they've been busy working on the railroad... trying to de-rail a train... that looks a lot like the 'light at the end of the tunnel,' eh, boys...?
Lololol...
With 'apologies' to Steven Tyler, I'm sure...
Oh, Rock of Ages... 'cleft' for Me...
It's not just 'good'... It's Great...
Check out the zebras... and the elephant...
But never mind that... right now... and let's get back to 'global warming.' You know that the Schumann Resonance (so-called) measures the electrical discharge happening in our immediate atmosphere (ions, ionosphere), and it has been remarked that the basic rate of Schumann resonance has risen... from what was a 'standard' rate of about 7 hz, to an 'elevated' rate of recent years to something like 13 hz... This would mean that the 'electrical discharge' which is happening in our atmosphere (normally produced naturally by lightning, which the Schumann frequency is used to record) is higher (by almost double) than it was. There hasn't been a doubling of lightning discharge happening, so... why has the amount of electrical 'discharge' nearly doubled? That's interesting, but the 'important question to ask' is this...
'What are the consequences of the increase of this 'discharge,' electrically-speaking?'
Well... electricity produces heat. It just does. So... if the electrical discharge has risen, I can only assume that the amount of heat-producing electricity (current) has risen, somehow... and has produced the phenomenon known as 'global warming,' which scientists have been rather hard-pressed to explain, otherwise. I say it makes sense... and if that is so, there must be a reason for wishing to raise the level of 'current,' which, up to this point, has been 'altered/amplified' by such 'primitive' means as the HAARP project, and surely others like it. We can still postulate as to 'why' this is being done, but it may be preparatory work for the CERN project, or otherwise related, I think.
Now, in all fairness, I haven't actually 'studied' these things, but I have given it all some thought... and it seems to me that my thoughts are as good as any, under the circumstances. I mean, you don't know the answers, do you...?
I'll tell you something else about that, though... listen to this...
Schumann resonance excitations have been linked to transient luminous events – sprites, elves, jets, and other upper-atmospheric lightning...
It is now believed that many of the Schumann resonances transients (Q bursts) are related to the transient luminous events (TLEs). In 1995 Boccippio et al.[35] showed that sprites, the most common TLE, are produced by positive cloud-to-ground lightning occurring in the stratiform region of a thunderstorm system, and are accompanied by Q-burst in the Schumann resonances band. Recent observations reveal that occurrences of sprites and Q bursts are highly correlated...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances
Now, I wonder if these 'transient luminous events' might include 'foo fighters' and 'dragons' in the sky... that would explain a lot...
At any rate, these things would appear to be 'related'...
And, about CERN... you know that they were looking for the much-hyped 'God particle,' right...? And that sounds almost 'good,' and true-ly 'scientific,' maybe... except... the thing about 'particles' is that they behave in a certain way...
Physics tells us that at the center of all atoms there are 'subatomic' particles, and among those, there is a single 'positive' particle... its 'charge' is 'positive,' in other words, or 'light,' let's say... and around this central particle of 'light,' or 'positive' particle, are drawn 'negative' particles, or 'dark (anti)matter,' I suppose. Let us further make the supposition, by way of illustration, that this central 'positive' particle (or nucleus) may be known as a 'God-particle,' around which are collected the 'negative' particles, and which together constitute a perfectly balanced and charged 'atom,' I suppose... from which are assembled various 'perfect' creations.
Now, if this 'positively charged' particle (or, 'God' particle, if you will) that lies in the center of all 'creation' were to be 'removed,' what do you suppose would happen to all of those negatively charged particles that liked/needed to cluster around the 'positive' or 'God' particle for their own 'generation'?
No conductor...
I predict a train wreck... a real head-on 'collision'...
After all, it is a 'particle collider,' right...? I think that's right...
Ah, heck... let's dance...
Let it Bee, baby...
Foo Fighters... perfect...
And, speaking of 'high voltage,' you all were right on time... more or less... but I'm going to play this one again, because it really is a long way to the top... if you want to Rock, of course... and, because I really do dig those bagpipes. Lacking a cowbell... but I'm not...
And, the 'Doors'... referring to the 'doors of perception,' or perhaps, our 'vortice points,' after all... and doors, if they work, lead in... and out...
We have a little sister,
and she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build on her a battlement of silver,
but if she is a door,
we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
The Song of Solomon, chapter 8, verses 8 and 9
She is a Door... and maybe a window...
We're looking for a strait gate, I believe; something 'narrow,' through which our camel can't likely squeeze it's... hump. Remember 'Camelback Mountain?' I do... I'll bet that's the spot where the camel is hoping to squeeze itself through the 'eye of the needle' (a nice illustration in symbolism of the 'vortice point' itself, I think) that marks one of the 'points' or 'gateways' to another 'heaven,' so to speak. And the thing is, the camel might just get lucky... but the 'rich man' won't... the problem is that he isn't sufficiently 'grounded.'
There's a moral to that story...
I've got a lot of morals around here, somewhere... such as they are.
And now, by special request... and bon chance, as they say...
This One is for You...
And that's all well and 'good,' you say, but... where's my apocalypse?
Lolol...
Well, now, an 'apocalypse' is a 'revealing,' or 'revelation' (hence the name of the book, coincidentally), and so that is what we need to have in order to qualify, I think; therefore, I need to do some 'revealing,' I guess. One of the things that is yet to be 'revealed' or 'known' is the identity of the True 'lost tribe(s) of the House of Israel.' They are still lost, by the way... and if any of you believe that you qualify as 'lost,' I have news for you... we found you. There you are. You can't possibly be 'lost,' can you? And there are many ways nowadays to prove who you are, and where you came from, through 'genetics' and 'markers,' etc., not to mention historical documents and data that may have been previously unavailable to you, thanks to the electronic medium of the 'internet.'
Now, this all has to do with Jesus, believe it or not, and what he specifically said that he came for... 'to seek and to save the lost sheep of the House of Israel.' These 'lost' members of the 'flock' were evidently not members of the 'synagogue of Satan' to which Jesus referred as the current residents of the 'temple,' but more likely, the ones that were wandering somewhere through the 'valley of the shadow of death,' to whom the Psalms referred.
How did they become lost, and which 'tribe' is true-ly 'lost?'
I think you know...
'Lost' to the 'world,' but not gone... nor forgotten. And these people, who have been as 'dead,' lo these many years, these 'just' ones, will be released... and returned... or 'resurrected,' if you want to look at it that way, because they trusted 'God' to produce Truth, from the seed that was being 'planted' in 'faith,' by men who would not live to see the 'harvest,' but understood the Principles involved...
If you doubt it, and I'm sure that you will, let's look at the 'context' in which the statement concerning the 'gathering of the eagles' was made... to begin with...
Matthew 24:28 - “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.” (NIV)
Luke 17:37 - “’Where, Lord?’ they asked. He replied, ‘Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.’” (NIV)
There are many reasons why these passages are so difficult to understand. In the New International Version of Luke, for example, the body referred to is called a dead body, whereas the King James Version does not refer to a dead body. In fact, the Greek word used to refer to the body in Luke’s version of this parabolic passage is “soma”, and this word is usually always used to refer to a living body! However, in either translation, Matthew’s rendition of the passage uses the word “ptoma”, which always means a dead body or carcass of non-specific origin.
In the Greek texts used for the King James and New International Bible Versions, the word translated as eagles is “ahetos”, which according to Strong's Concordance usually refers to an eagle, though it can refer to other large birds of prey. So far as I can tell, therefore, the translators of the New International Version used the word “vulture” in both Matthew and Luke’s version of the passage based on Matthew’s use of the word “carcass” alone. So we really NEED to ponder why the newer translations refer to that bird as opposed to the eagle, since it is fairly certain that both groups of translators knew that these Bible references to birds of prey really are meant to identify a specific type of person. (Dead or living, evidently... my own note)
But before we can determine what these parabolic passages mean fully, we need to analyze them further to figure out what is being implied beneath the surface...
www.pillar-of-enoch.com/essays/A-Gathering-of-Eagles.html
So, to begin with, later translations have substituted a 'vulture' for an 'eagle,' for what seem to me to be obvious reasons, under the circumstances... the psychopomp 'eagle' is returning a 'spirit' from the 'realm of the dead,' while the 'vulture' is obviously just cleaning up a 'hopeless case.'
You see...?
Believe me, it is not really a 'carcass,' or 'dead body' that we are dealing with here... it is alive, but it was dead... and that sounds familiar, too... but, for now, suffice it to say that it is somewhat a paradox... like a Living Dead Girl...
Rock on...
“You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” - Exodus 19:4-6
A 'buried treasure,' I daresay...
“Your dead shall live; together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past. For behold, Yahweh comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain.” - Isaiah 26:19-21
Their return, this 'firsfruits of the "dead",' to be known as the 'Resurrection of the Just,' since none of the 'actual dead' are raised until the 'General Resurrection of the Small and Great,' in which the 'books' are 'opened,' and a more 'personal' judgement happens; this first resurrection of these 'lost' and 'dead' (to the World, for all practical purposes) will mark the beginning of that thousand-year 'reparation' period, in which they will be allowed to reign together as 'kings,' since their 'worldly kingdom' here was taken from them, and this period is known as the Millenium, but not for the reasons that you think...
A new song... out of an old song, maybe...
Praise 'God' from Whom all blessings flow,-
Praise Him, all creatures here below...
Praise Him, above, ye heavenly host...
Praise Him who saved what once was lost...
And so let it be...
And now, just let me add here that it was to these people, and this very 'situation' that Jesus was referring in this parable, given in the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew...
...leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering. 25 Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26"Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent.
Oh, yes... your 'adversary' will deliver you up to the 'judge,' there to be 'thrown into prison' until 'the last cent' is paid...
Sound familiar...?
What does it say in the song we just played? "I was looking for a dime, but I found a quarter..." It was a 'lucky quarter,' I think... and lucky, too, that this is a year for the 'forgiveness of debts owed,' don't you think?
Yep. There's a 'moral' there, too... about the nature of the 'adversary,' if nothing else... somebody who is an 'expert' at 'the Law,' I'm sure... having written them... and broken them... and re-written them...
Think about it.
The 'mainstream' Jews, including the 'priestly' Pharisees, never accepted the man 'Jesus' as the 'messiah' figure of the prophecies, nor his 'message' in regard to the 'Christ-ian' church, and do you know why...?
Because they knew exactly what he was saying...
It's 5:11 am... post time will vary. Lol... still, it is a pretty perfect Friday, as you say. I have, let's see... 11 days... to look forward to, I suppose... and for the next four, the "cat's away," isn't that right?
Perfect...
I'm only sorry that we can't spend the day of 3/22 together here, but I will be here in 'Spirit,' if nothing else...
Oh, my 'God'... what is this? It's the Foo Fighters... and David Lee Roth... singing "Panama" on 1/10 of this year (that's 11)...
It's a miracle...
I told you, I think, about the 'eagles,' and their symbolism in ancient times... they served as 'psychopomps,' or, in other words, they were escorts for the spirits of the dead, from one 'world' to the next. One reason that the eagle is chosen as one of the four 'creatures' of the 'chariot' of 'God,' you see...?
Now, the symbolism isn't lost on me... and the fact that they've chosen to make Eugene one of their stops seems extremely... serendipitous. I can't say I'm unhappy... I mean... if you have to go... go with the eagles, right Sam? Right, Frodo?
At any rate, I'd love to be there... who knows that I won't? Or wasn't...

They are still lost, by the way... and if any of you believe that you qualify as 'lost,' I have news for you... we found you. There you are. You can't possibly be 'lost,' can you? And there are many ways nowadays to prove who you are, and where you came from, through 'genetics' and 'markers,' etc., not to mention historical documents and data that may have been previously unavailable to you, thanks to the electronic medium of the 'internet.'
Now, this all has to do with Jesus, believe it or not, and what he specifically said that he came for... 'to seek and to save the lost sheep of the House of Israel.' These 'lost' members of the 'flock' were evidently not members of the 'synagogue of Satan' to which Jesus referred as the current residents of the 'temple,' but more likely, the ones that were wandering somewhere through the 'valley of the shadow of death,' to whom the Psalms referred.
How did they become lost, and which 'tribe' is true-ly 'lost?'
I think you know...
'Lost' to the 'world,' but not gone... nor forgotten. And these people, who have been as 'dead,' lo these many years, these 'just' ones, will be released... and returned... or 'resurrected,' if you want to look at it that way, because they trusted 'God' to produce Truth, from the seed that was being 'planted' in 'faith,' by men who would not live to see the 'harvest,' but understood the Principles involved...
If you doubt it, and I'm sure that you will, let's look at the 'context' in which the statement concerning the 'gathering of the eagles' was made... to begin with...
Matthew 24:28 - “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.” (NIV)
Luke 17:37 - “’Where, Lord?’ they asked. He replied, ‘Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.’” (NIV)
There are many reasons why these passages are so difficult to understand. In the New International Version of Luke, for example, the body referred to is called a dead body, whereas the King James Version does not refer to a dead body. In fact, the Greek word used to refer to the body in Luke’s version of this parabolic passage is “soma”, and this word is usually always used to refer to a living body! However, in either translation, Matthew’s rendition of the passage uses the word “ptoma”, which always means a dead body or carcass of non-specific origin.
In the Greek texts used for the King James and New International Bible Versions, the word translated as eagles is “ahetos”, which according to Strong's Concordance usually refers to an eagle, though it can refer to other large birds of prey. So far as I can tell, therefore, the translators of the New International Version used the word “vulture” in both Matthew and Luke’s version of the passage based on Matthew’s use of the word “carcass” alone. So we really NEED to ponder why the newer translations refer to that bird as opposed to the eagle, since it is fairly certain that both groups of translators knew that these Bible references to birds of prey really are meant to identify a specific type of person. (Dead or living, evidently... my own note)
But before we can determine what these parabolic passages mean fully, we need to analyze them further to figure out what is being implied beneath the surface...

So, to begin with, later translations have substituted a 'vulture' for an 'eagle,' for what seem to me to be obvious reasons, under the circumstances... the psychopomp 'eagle' is returning a 'spirit' from the 'realm of the dead,' while the 'vulture' is obviously just cleaning up a 'hopeless case.'
You see...?
Believe me, it is not really a 'carcass,' or 'dead body' that we are dealing with here... it is alive, but it was dead... and that sounds familiar, too... but, for now, suffice it to say that it is somewhat a paradox... like a Living Dead Girl...
Rock on...
“You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” - Exodus 19:4-6
A 'buried treasure,' I daresay...
“Your dead shall live; together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past. For behold, Yahweh comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain.” - Isaiah 26:19-21
Their return, this 'firsfruits of the "dead",' to be known as the 'Resurrection of the Just,' since none of the 'actual dead' are raised until the 'General Resurrection of the Small and Great,' in which the 'books' are 'opened,' and a more 'personal' judgement happens; this first resurrection of these 'lost' and 'dead' (to the World, for all practical purposes) will mark the beginning of that thousand-year 'reparation' period, in which they will be allowed to reign together as 'kings,' since their 'worldly kingdom' here was taken from them, and this period is known as the Millenium, but not for the reasons that you think...
A new song... out of an old song, maybe...
Praise 'God' from Whom all blessings flow,-
Praise Him, all creatures here below...
Praise Him, above, ye heavenly host...
Praise Him who saved what once was lost...
And so let it be...
And now, just let me add here that it was to these people, and this very 'situation' that Jesus was referring in this parable, given in the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew...
...leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering. 25 Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26"Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent.
Oh, yes... your 'adversary' will deliver you up to the 'judge,' there to be 'thrown into prison' until 'the last cent' is paid...
Sound familiar...?
What does it say in the song we just played? "I was looking for a dime, but I found a quarter..." It was a 'lucky quarter,' I think... and lucky, too, that this is a year for the 'forgiveness of debts owed,' don't you think?
Yep. There's a 'moral' there, too... about the nature of the 'adversary,' if nothing else... somebody who is an 'expert' at 'the Law,' I'm sure... having written them... and broken them... and re-written them...
Think about it.
The 'mainstream' Jews, including the 'priestly' Pharisees, never accepted the man 'Jesus' as the 'messiah' figure of the prophecies, nor his 'message' in regard to the 'Christ-ian' church, and do you know why...?
Because they knew exactly what he was saying...
It's 5:11 am... post time will vary. Lol... still, it is a pretty perfect Friday, as you say. I have, let's see... 11 days... to look forward to, I suppose... and for the next four, the "cat's away," isn't that right?
Perfect...
I'm only sorry that we can't spend the day of 3/22 together here, but I will be here in 'Spirit,' if nothing else...
Oh, my 'God'... what is this? It's the Foo Fighters... and David Lee Roth... singing "Panama" on 1/10 of this year (that's 11)...
It's a miracle...
