Well, as I said earlier, it's time to get down to the real nitty-gritty, I think... let's get back to this one, shall we? It's important, for every Good Reason... To begin with, the point of the upcoming 'apocalypse' and the ensuing events is... Justice. Quite plainly, quite True-ly... justice for people that were overwhelmed by a Power that was employed against them, and who were subsequently left as forgotten, but for whom the True Power of 'God' was always present, in spite of what must have seemed to be the most horrible of circumstances. I believe that, quite plainly, Korah (and the knowledge that he possessed, which gave him True 'freedom') stood firmly in the way of the plans underway to implement a set of written laws, and sacrifices, which were previously unknown by the Israelites. This plan was implemented by means of Magic, which was gained through this man's association with the Egyptian 'mystery school' and his peculiar position in the family of Pharoe which would give him an 'advantage' over the other priests and maguses... I believe that in his zeal, this Power overwhelmed him, and produced results that were 'out of line' with Truth, and that about 15,000 people (members of his family, no less, must surely have been included in those numbers, and interestingly, we have the number '15') perished in what was if not the first, one of the very worst, genocides in history. Justice will be done, and the 'patience of the saints' will be rewarded, at last... To wit... from Numbers 16: But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the Lord.
42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord; the plague is begun.
47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
They were destroyed with a 'plague.' Now, let's see what's going to happen as a result, according to Saint John/Jean the Divine... I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God (Revelation 15:1). Revelation 16 (correlates to Numbers 16, I believe): 16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”
2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.
4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
“You are just in these judgments, O Holy One, you who are and who were;
6 for they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve.”
7 And I heard the altar respond:
“Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments.”
Meet 'Justice'... lolol...

Fortunately, it is also still True that "Love is strong as Death..." The Song of Solomon, 8:16, various translations... Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol; The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, A very flame of Jehovah.
Put me as a sign on your heart, as a sign on your arm; love is strong as death, and wrath bitter as the underworld: its coals are coals of fire; violent are its flames.
Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is as strong as death, passionate love unrelenting as the grave. Its darts are darts of fire— divine flame!
[She] Set me like a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, passion as cruel as Sh'ol; its flashes are flashes of fire, [as fierce as the] flame of Yah.
Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames.
Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD.
Wear me as a signet ring on your heart, as a ring on your hand. Love is as overpowering as death. Devotion is as unyielding as the grave. Love's flames are flames of fire, flames that come from the LORD.
Close your heart to every love but mine; hold no one in your arms but me. Love is as powerful as death; passion is as strong as death itself. It bursts into flame and burns like a raging fire.
Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as She'ol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of the LORD.
A great Work... of Love...

I have one more thing for you on this subject tonight, which I think should also be somewhat 'illuminating,' if not reassuring... you see, Brothers, your 'wages' have been 'guaranteed,'- According to my 'Masonic Edition' of the Holy Bible (King James Version), the 'Wages of a Master Mason,' run thusly: The Operative Mason, in ancient times, received, as compensation for his labor, corn, wine, and oil -the products of the earth- or whatever would contribute to his physical comfort and support. His labor being material, his wages were outward and material...Now, according to Saint John/Jean: 5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” -Chapter 8 You see...? And Justice for All...

Well, I have some time left of this most auspicious day, 8/22, and so I think that I will take this time to continue on this subject... we've really only begun to 'scratch the surface' of this subject, so to speak... As a matter of fact, there are several things left to bring up, which all bear on things as they are, were, and Will Be; to begin with, let us take the main characters of this 'story' and see if we can get to know them... really know them. I don't think you do... but you should. It explains a lot... Let's start with Korah, shall we? As far as I can tell, as much as most people know about Korah (and this includes most Jews, I assume), is that he was a rebellious man, that was destroyed by Moses as a consequence of his 'pride' and 'arrogance.' And, because he did not agree with Moses, he is seen/known as an 'enemy' of 'God,' too... I intend to prove by the evidence submitted here, that none of that is really True... and that everything that you think that you know about 'God' and your 'religion' since that time (whatever it may be, I assure you) is wrong, and based on false premises. I further intend to prove that this is known by those most 'in the know' as regards your governments and religions, and that they (for the most part) have knowingly perpetrated this false paradigm in order to support their own 'powers,' whatever they conceive them to be. They 'pirated' your 'God,' and your 'heritage,' and you have labored for false shepherds under the burden of a very heavy yoke... and a heavy price was paid by those first 'rebels,' who refused to do so, for all these many years... But, the 'good news' is that that time has come to an end... for both of you. Can I have an 'Amen,' brother...? The way out of the labyrinth is the same way that you went in... backwards. I asked for the thread of Ariadne, and what do you know? It's blue... Lolol... Now, interestingly, this Youtube poster is called 'Dustasdu,' which, translated, means... Dust (Man) as Du (Dhu or Devil). Baaaahahaha... Anyway, just a look through my crazy looking glasses... We'll go on.

The Bible accounts don't really tell us much about Korah, but most of the references that I can find tell us that he was a 'wealthy man.' A very wealthy man, as a matter of fact... they mention the number of donkeys that were required to carry only the keys to his treasuries. Most people don't think much farther than this, but it really begs the question, 'Where did all of that wealth come from?' Especially back in those days... it wasn't just laying around. you know. Think about it... I did. I decided that he must have created his own wealth... which, if he were a successful, or True, alchemist, he certainly could have... and would have. The evidence seems to point to the fact that he did. Among other things... Korah was evidently a great student of Torah, and a wonderful reader of it, as well. Od... considering he was an anti-'God' kind of rebel. He was intelligent enough to serve, perhaps, as Governor to Pharoah, even... and respected. But, let's look at some of the passages that I refer to... I think you'll be surprised at what we 'turn up'... In the Aggadah
Many reasons are given for Korah's opposition to Moses and Aaron. In Egypt, Korah had been Pharoah's treasurer, and he amassed so much wealth that 300 mules were required to carry the keys of his treasures; his pride in his wealth brought about his subsequent downfall (Pes. 119a). He resented Moses for appointing his cousin (Elizaphan b. Uzziel; Num. 3:30) as head of the levite division of Kohathites, maintaining that this office belonged to him (Num. R. 18:2). He did not doubt the ultimate success of his challenge since he foresaw that Samuel, whose importance would equal that of Moses and Aaron (cf. Ps. 99:6), would descend from him, and felt that God would not permit the forefather of such a man to perish (Num. R. 18:8). Korah's wife also encouraged him in his insurrection (Num. R. 18:4). Korah is regarded as the arch-detractor of the Torah. He negated its laws and sought to demonstrate the injustice of the laws instituted by Moses by telling the following tale to the masses: A widow, the mother of two young daughters, started to plow her solitary field whose yield was just sufficient to keep body and soul together. Moses told her that it was forbidden to plow with an ox and an ass together (Deut. 22:10). When she began to sow, Moses told her not to sow with diverse seeds (Lev. 19:19). When the first fruits appeared, Moses demanded that she give them to the priests (Deut. 26:2), and when she began to harvest the field, Moses reminded her to leave the gleanings and the corner of the field for the poor (Lev. 23:22). When she was about to thresh the grain, Moses demanded the separations for the priests and levites (Num. 18:8, 21). Unable to maintain herself from the field under such conditions, she sold it and purchased ewes. Once again, she knew no peace. When the firstling of the sheep was born, Aaron demanded it for the priests (Num. 18:15). When she began to shear the sheep, Aaron claimed the initial shearings (Deut. 18:4). The widow thereupon decided to slaughter the sheep. This time Aaron came for the priestly portions (Deut. 18:3). The widow then vehemently cried out: "If you persist in your demands, I consecrate the flesh to the Lord." "If so," Aaron replied, "the whole belongs to me" (Num. 18:14). Aaron then took away all the meat, leaving the widow and her two daughters entirely unprovided for (Mid. Ps. to 1:15).
Korah tried to make Moses appear ridiculous in the eyes of the people. He appeared with his 250 followers, all dressed in garments of *tekhelet, requesting a ruling from Moses on whether they were obliged to attach fringes to such garments. On Moses' affirmative response, Korah mocked him by declaring, "If one fringe of blue suffices to fulfill this commandment when the garment is entirely white, should not a garment which is entirely blue meet the requirements of this commandment even without the addition of fringes." Likewise, they asked Moses about the necessity of affixing a mezuzah to the entrance of a house filled with sacred scrolls. Once again they decried Moses' answer that such a doorpost also needed a mezuzah despite the fact that its passages are included in the scrolls (TJ, Sanh. 10:1, 27d–28a). In this and similar aggadot, Korah is presented as the prototype of the opponents of the Torah and of the authority of the rabbis.
Moses desperately attempted to appease Korah and his followers, but they insisted on opposing him (Num. R. 18:4). Finally, Moses had to make a public stand against them, realizing that the integrity of the Torah was at stake when they proclaimed that "the Torah was not given by God, Moses is not a prophet, and Aaron is not the high priest" (TJ, Sanh. 10:1, 28a). At the time of Korah's engulfment, the earth became like a funnel, and everything that belonged to him, even clothes at the laundry and needles borrowed by neighbors, rolled until they fell into the gap (Num. R. 18:13). Korah himself suffered the double punishment of being burned and swallowed up alive by the earth (Num. R. 18:19), while his repentant sons were spared and became the progenitors of Samuel (Num. R. 18:8). Later, a place was set aside for them in the netherworld, where they sit and sing praises to God (Sanh. 110a).

It is important to remark that the Samaritan copy of the Pentateuch differs materially from the received Jewish Massoretic text in Num. xxvi. 10, where the manner of Korah's death is referred to, the latter plainly implying that the earth swallowed him up with Dathan and Abiram and their company; while the former explicitly states that he was consumed by the fire of the Lord in the company of the two hundred and fifty Levites of his own tribe, for it here reads: "and the earth opened her mouth, and the earth swallowed them up, when that company died; at the time the fire devoured Korah and the two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign." With this Josephus coincides (Ant. bk. iv. chap. 3). The Mohammedan legends about Korah are too voluminous to be quoted in full; a brief summary of the more interesting ones as are found in the Kisas el-ambii/d, is all that can be inserted here.
It is said that he was the most learned of the children of Israel after Moses and Aaron, and the richest and most handsome of them, and was called el Munawwar (the splendid), because of the beauty of his personal appearance, and that he was possessed of fabulous wealth. There was no one among the children of Israel better versed in the Law than he, but he was the enemy of God and excessively given to trafficking and merchandizing, and behaved insolently towards His people (cf. Koran, sura 28). Some say that he was appointed by Pharaoh governor over the children of Israel when they were in Egypt, and, by tyrannizing over them, increased in wealth and pride and pomp, and acquired such vast wealth that the very keys of his treasuries were a load for many strong men, some of the authorities state that they were a sufficient load for seventy men, and one authority goes so far as to say that they were a load for sixty mules; these keys, it is said, Korah always carried along with him wherever he went, and it required forty mules to transport them. There is considerable disagreement as to how he obtained all this wealth; it is said, he was skilled in alchemy. The story runs thus: Moses was fully educated in the science of alchemy, and Joshua knew a "third part of that science, as did also Caleb and Korah, and Korah outwitted these latter two and added their knowledge unto his own, and through tins gained his great wealth; though another account is, that God instructed Moses in alchemy, and lie instructed his sister, and she instructed Korah...

Moses' sister... I think we met her on another thread... And here is our link to 'alchemy;' it all makes a nice golden chain... And that first line in the second paragraph, that I bolded... that sounds a little bit familiar, too... And that ties some other things together, I think... Try to remember that All things Work to the Good... I do. Try, that is... I know sometimes it's not easy... not at all easy. Child's play that it is...

Let's add this... ...as attributed to Ibn-`Abbâs he said: Korah was made a king over the Israelites by the pharaoh in Egypt and he used to wrong them, and they say: he was a cousin of Moses, for Korah was the son of Yas'hur ben Qâhiþ (Kohath) and Moses is the sonf of Amram ben Kohath, and so Kohath was their grandfather, and it is said also that he was his maternal cousin, and there is no big difference between the two and only God knows. They say also: what is meant by Korah saying that was told by Quran: I have been given it only on account of knowledge I possess(Al-Qasas:78), meaning that I was raised in level upon people by my wisdom, and it was the wisdom of religion and regulations and it is said that it was the wisdom of chemistry (or alchemy) and the wisdom of trading, and some say that he knew about the treasures of Joseph (PUH), and all are probable, and there is no doubt that he was a smart man and for this he was made a prince over the Israelites by the pharaoh. It is mentioned about the reasons for his destruction is that when Moses got out of Egypt with the Israelites and lived with them in the desert after the destruction of the pharaoh and his folks, he (Moses) ordered them to fight the giants in the lands of Shem (Canaan) and they did not obey him and said to him: So go thou and thy Lord and fight! We will sit here(Al-Mâ'idah:24), and God commanded them to enter the land but when they denied so, He forbid it for them for forty years and they shall wander on earth, and Korah was one of them and with them and used to read the Torah and no one had a voice better than his and he was called Al-Manun [the word seems to mean in Arabic "one of good voice"] for his good way in reading and he worked with chemistry (or alchemy)...www.sacred-texts.com/isl/pro/mos22.htmWell, that's all very illuminating, don't you think...?

And, among the quotes is an interesting correlation to the 40-year/40-day periods that seem to be of importance throughout... Some say, however, that once when Korah had remained on a mountain forty years worshipping, and had surpassed all the children of Israel in worship, Iblis sent unto him his devils, but they were powerless over him, so he came unto him himself, and set to worshipping with Korah, and began to restrain him in his worship, and got the power over him, and by subtle arguments seduced him; and when Korah finally yielded, Iblis sat down and opened up to him the doors of the world, and thus it was that he obtained his riches. Others yet, contend that he found out the treasures of Joseph in Egypt; (See Sale's Koran, chap. 28, note; and in this connection compare what the Targum of Jonathan on Numbers xvi. 19, says in regard to his having found the treasures of Joseph.) His wealth was so vast and his optilency so great, that the riches of Korah have become a proverb; but he behaved insolently and went beyond all bounds in injustice, and grew haughty and proud towards men by reason of his wealth. And he used to ride forth in his pomp and dignity on a white animal which had a purple saddle with saffron trimmings, and with him went forth seventy thousand persons clothed in saffron robes "and that was the first time saffron robes were seen on the earth. Some say he used to ride on an ash-colored mule, upon which was a saddle of gold, and he himself clothed in purple, and attended by a thousand purple-clad horsemen, and six hundred white slave girls wearing ornaments and red garments and riding ash colored mules. And this ostentatious pomp of his was the first of his revolt and rebellion. And God revealed to His prophet Moses, to command his people, "to hang on their robes four threads, on each border a thread of dark color like the color of the heavens;" but Korah was haughty and did not obey him. And this also was a part of his rebellion and sedition, (cf. Tco-f/um onSnm. xvi. 1, where we read: "And Korah took his robe, which was of violet, (and with his followers) rose up impudently and appointed in opposition to Moses..."www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook_text/The_Samaritan_Chronicle_or_the_Book_of_Joshua_the_Son_of_Nun_Translated_1000830845/139Now, that all sounds familiar, somehow... Saffron... yellow... It's magic...

Now, I didn't mean to leave you hanging on this thread, but other things seem to 'come up' and I tend to take them as they come... and maybe not in order, so much... except that, serendipitously, the next items for discussion here will tie in to the subject of the Ark that I intend to continue with this afternoon. The results of what transpired on this day (it should be obvious by now) have affected every thing that has happened since, in one way or another... and it has been so taken for granted... for 'gospel,' say... that very few have bothered to question it since (for what should be fairly obvious reasons, as well), and any of those that have, have been branded as heretics and worse, meeting (for the most parts) fates worse than Death, and all, most serendipitously, say, in the 'name' of 'God.' I intend to show, by historical evidence, that the 'power' of 'God' was used by Moses, who was, himself, a Magician, trained as an heir to Pharoah in the alchemical and occult sciences that enabled him to 'direct' the source of that Great Power against those that opposed his plan to do 'God' a 'favor,' and stand in as the 'Deliverer of the Hebrews' (in contradistinction to Ahmose, the Pharoah that was known as 'The Deliverer of the Egyptians;' Moses also knew their history, of course), and the giver of the 'Law.' Because Korah and those who sided with him in this matter were 'powerful' in their own right, and it was plain enough to many of the Israelites that his 'knowledge' was True, as well as beneficial to the people, in general, he stood in the way of the establishment of this new 'religion' (and it was) based on this new Law... he had to be removed. And he was... along with thousands of others who questioned the authority of Moses in his representation of this new, and unknown 'God' (or 'aspect' of 'God,' at least) to the Israelites, it would seem. The history of this religion, and its peculiar 'relics,' which include the Ark, is one of domination, sacrifice, and bloodshed... and ultimately, death. It was planted in violence... with 'bad magick,' so to speak... and I further intend to show that these same 'relics' may, if not Will, be used against the people once again, in the 'name' of 'God,' in order to further deceive you as to the True Nature of 'God,' and assure your eventual destruction, in full accordance with the Law, under which, of course, we all stand accused, guilty, and condemned. This is not the 'Law of Love'... it is the cumbersome burden, and the heavy yoke, that you've heard reference to... indeed. It is further said that that yoke will be lifted, and when, but with the discovery of the Truth, and the doing away with that 'righteousness' which we can never hope to attain? Perhaps, as it is suggested in the engraving below... whose message now seems somewhat clearer, under the circumstances... This one is titled, "In Which Virtue is Conquered"... interestingly... notice the figures, and their 'habits'... the 'knight' is 'doing away with' the 'cleric' or 'monk' that represents this 'religion' and its off-shoots... Notice the 'Wheel of Fortune' in the background... Fortunes... misfortunes... the 'turn of the wheel'... We'll get back to the quote in a few minutes...

Well, let's try this one more time... The following text is quoted from the same "Guide to the Royal Arch Chapter" to which I previously referred in the thread on that subject; it is all connected... of course... and this quote ties in, quite nicely, with the subject of the Ark that I would now like to 'raise,' so I might as well start here... I will follow the text with the commentary provided in the book, as well as some of my own, where it seems pertinent... And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee. And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And the Lord said unto Moses, Purt forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand. That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath appeared unto thee.
And the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put now thy hand in thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again; and he plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land; and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.There were evidently only two choices in the matter... believe, or be 'plagued,' and/or believe, or die... since the water will be turned to 'blood upon the dry land.' Both of those things happened... And continue to happen... But there is yet a remedy,- an antidote...

Exodus 3:5 And he said, Draw not near here: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place where on you stand is holy ground.
Joshua 5:15 The commander of the LORD's army replied, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.
Now, the important question to ask here, is... "Why is the ground that you stand on 'holy?'"
Most likely answer would be that somebody kind of... important... was 'buried' there. At any rate, cemeteries and gravesites have always been considered to be fairly 'sacred ground,' you know... You really shouldn't be walking over their heads, so to speak, with disrespect...
Isn't that right...?
So much more the ground that holds a King in trust, wouldn't you think?
It is a Mystery...

I think it's time to take this one up again... after all, this really is the 'crux' of the matter... To summarize my thoughts on this subject,- the 'primeval Torah' which exists was 'written' (which committed it to 'stone,' so to speak) by a man who 're-veiled' the Mysteries thereof, for reasons known only to 'God,' but which have served as a sort of 'matrix' for the religious and governmental structures that are now in place. In order to secure this 'matrix,' it was necessary to 'bury' those voices which were raised in knowledgeable opposition to it, and this was done, by means of violence perpetrated upon members of his own family, and subsequently, any and all voices of opposition, everywhere... I believe that Korah, due to his forty years of study, as well as his 'familial' knowledge, was prepared to 'write' the Torah himself, but (perhaps due to a more complete knowledge of the 'path' that the World was destined to take), he chose to undertake to serve 'God' in another way... a way that would eventually prove the Truth of the unending love of 'God' for Man, and the Truth of Justice and the Natural Law that is set in place for our benefit, and use. It is important to remark that the Samaritan copy of the Pentateuch differs materially from the received Jewish Massoretic text in Num. xxvi. 10, where the manner of Korah's death is referred to, the latter plainly implying that the earth swallowed him up with Dathan and Abiram and their company; while the former explicitly states that he was consumed by the fire of the Lord in the company of the two hundred and fifty Levites of his own tribe, for it here reads: "and the earth opened her mouth, and the earth swallowed them up, when that company died; at the time the fire devoured Korah and the two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign." With this Josephus coincides (Ant. bk. iv. chap. 3). The Mohammedan legends about Korah are too voluminous to be quoted in full; a brief summary of the more interesting ones as are found in the Kisas el-ambii/d, is all that can be inserted here.
Someone did indeed 'throw themselves down,' in faith... waiting to be raised up again, at that 'last day'... Phoenix-like (its nest is its funeral pyre)... to the ultimate Glory of 'God' and the salvation (in Truth) of mankind from the Matix of Heaven/Hell, as the rightful Heirs of a Real Kingdom... And a new Torah will be born/written... a Living Word... And the Law will be written on their hearts... and I will take away their heart of stone... 19 "And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, 20 that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God...The book of the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 11

"But as for those whose hearts go after their detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down on their heads," declares the Lord GOD.Ezekiel 11:21Isaiah 28 11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues
God will speak to this people,
to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;
and, “This is the place of repose”—
but they would not listen.
So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured and snared and captured.
Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie our refuge
and falsehood our hiding place.”
So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.
I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow your hiding place.
Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
you will be beaten down by it.
As often as it comes it will carry you away;
morning after morning, by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.
The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.
The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work, his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
Now stop your mocking,
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed against the whole land.You see, the 'agreement' that was made with 'Hell' will be 'disannulled'... ...and the Prison Gate will be opened. In that day the Lord Almighty
will be a glorious crown,
a beautiful wreath
for the remnant of his people.
He will be a spirit of justice
to the one who sits in judgment,
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle at the gate.The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.
The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work, his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.Now, let's compare that to the 32nd, and final, Magical Figure of Paracelsus... just for 'fun'... 'Thou hast taken great trouble, therefore it is but just that after thy day's work thou shouldst have rest and repose. Blessed is he that is born during sleep; he shall know no evil. For thou hast purified with great care, and hast endured much in thy days, Thee no one hath overcome, and no one shall there be that will again awaken thee, even as long as there is counted as much as thine enemies have counted from their eyrie.'In the 'notes' written pertaining to this, in the 'Elucidations of the Prognostications and the Conclusion of Doctor Paracelsus,' it says: ' This one has often brought about peace, and has thereafter brought peace to himself. But he has many times been again awakened. When he rouses himself, all creatures tremble before him.
'He is that that reverses and judges as seems good to him, and he has determined to act another 24 years until again he rests.
'To him, such time is but a moment. To us he leaves the tedious length thereof.
'He does not indeed each year do away with one symbol, but simultaneously fulfills them all and altogether as one, until all is completed and accomplished.
'Who may understand who it is that is hereby intended?
'Hence may none be named, and none be suspected, until all has come to pass. For thus it shall be.
'Whoever therefore may read this Prediction should read it bearing in mind that he inform no one. For no one is in the knowledge.
...
'May God give a good end.' 'No one'... or nobody...

And now, let's say there were someone who... after 40 years of 'wandering' in the 'wilderness,' preparing themselves through study and experiment, contemplation and communication... had somehow come to an 'understanding' that were going to allow for them to 're-write' this 'primeval Torah,' according to the Original Law, which was an 'integral' part of Man... in fact, you might say that it was 'written on his heart?' Unbelievable, isn't it? I mean... history has been written, hasn't it? And our 'fates' have been 'sealed' by it... and yet, somehow... we still believe in 'salvation.' I believe that it is still to be had... and that, just as Led Zeppelin said, "All will be redeemed..." in order that the Justice and Love of 'God' be proved, to 'His' glory, and our 'satisfaction'... And that redemption includes some men that gave everything for their own faith, which have been 'forgotten' to history, and yet... still have a very important part to play... in Truth. That story has to be told... in order that the Future may unfold... And who better to tell it than one of 'them?' If they could... Right? Oh, and about Jimmy Page... maybe his new girlfriend admires him for some of the same reasons that I do... He's a great musician, and he looks a lot like Bilbo Baggins...
