Bear may put boots on the ground in Syria?

Like I said, to be in prophecy you got to be in the Middle East, or a
major player there.  This situation could be what brings Russia in to
Syria, and if Turkey ever gets kicked out of NATO Russia can safely
mop up the floor with it.

The Winged lion of Venice - an eagle's wings and transplanted to England

re reading Webster Griffin Tarpley's Against Oligarchy, an online
book at his page http://tarpley.net I decided to have a look at the
St. Mark's lion of Venice.

Venice claims St. Mark as its patron saint and this saint has been
equated to the lion in four headed angel of Ezekiel's vision. But
this lion was not made in reference to St. Mark but is older.
Aside from modern repairs after two destructive incidents, bits
and pieces of it date centuries BC and it seems to have been
constructed c. 300 BC.

"The Lion sculpture has had a very long and obscure history,
probably starting its existence as a winged lion-griffin statue on
a monument to the god Sandon at Tarsus in Cilicia (Southern
Turkey) about 300 BC.[2] The figure, which stands on the
eastern column, at some point came to represent the “Lion of
Saint Mark”, traditional symbol of Saint Mark the evangelist."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_of_Venice

as you can see, it has an eagle's wings.

the face is not typically lionlike, a wider mouth and blunter nose more
like some mythical creature, or the lions of Chinese style, which since
they had no lions they modeled on the pekingnese dog, when having to
do Buddhist symbols.

It is however clearly....an eagle winged lion.

http://tarpley.net/online-books/against-oligarchy/how-the-venetian-system-was-transplanted-into-england/

so the Venetian monster described in the other chapters,  became the
backbone of Britain from which came America. Britain is all about lions,
some of them winged, and America is symbolized by an eagle, a bird of
prey.  America is British linguistically, culturally and in its founding and
primary power element till recently, ethnically. Britain itself is of Celtic
Norwegian and Danish origins.

Tarpley  is pathetic regarding Byzantium and Orthodoxy and anything
east of Venice, but an expert on Venice and western Europe.

ISIS Declares Governorate in Russia’s North Caucasus Region

http://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/isis-declares-governorate-russia%E2%80%99s-north-caucasus-region

"Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov subsequently claimed on April 22 that ISIS is Russia’s “greatest enemy,” ranked above China or NATO.  The Russian government will likely use the announcement of Wilayat Qawqaz as a justification to vigorously stamp out separatist sentiment in southern Russia. This may counterproductively fuel popular discontent and militant recruitment within the region. Russia also may use the development as a pretext to increase its involvement in Syria and Iraq, where it has recently equipped the Iraqi Security Forces with new supplies of Russian anti-tank rockets."

Meanwhile, Uighur separatists acted up in China killing some police or military
people.

The groundwork is being laid for Russia and China to become major players in
the Middle East. Even if the four headed leopard turns out to be Kurdistan, become
an independent  nation or perhaps cooperative between four Kurdistans which becomes
a regional power, this would likely happen as the result of Russian and maybe
Chinese  action.

new insights from a preterist idiot who has some things right

http://www.preteristarchive.com/Books/pdf/1921_mauro_seventyweeks.pdfthis comes from the preterist archive, so is part of the body of works the preterists,
who deny any prophecy remains to be fulfilled, put to their use.

however, although he misses the cue that the four beasts are not the ancient
empires but modern ones, the point he makes about the seventy weeks and the
last week is telling. But only regarding THAT part of prophecy.

THE SEVENTY WEEKS AND THE TRIBULATION by Mauro.

I haven't finished the second part, but he makes the interesting point that
no interpreters of prophecy before recent to the early part of the 20th
century (maybe 100 years or less probably less) had related "the prince
to come" to the antichrist, or split the last week into at least 2,000
years. The desolation of AD 70 was originally supposed to happen 3 1/2
years after Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection, but because of HIs prayer,
:Father forgive them for they know not what they do" it was delayed
and thousands were converted by the Apostles' preaching among the
Jews. so a lacuna in time was added, but nothing as outrageous as
taken for granted now.

THIS IS NOT WHAT THE THREE AND A HALF YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD IDEA IS
BASED ON, THOUGH IT OFTEN REFERS TO THAT, BUT TO THE TIME AND TIMES AND
A HALF IN REVELATION.

The ending of the sacrifices was the ending of their validity before God,
and a Talmudic source said that the ribbon that would change color on
the scape goat every year, ceased to do so for a number of years before
AD 70 - the same number that began at the Crucifixion and Resurrection
of Christ, though of course the Talmud didn't make that connection. I
don't have the source in front of me right now.

That doesn't rule out some end time Temple happening, but whatever the
abomination of desolation or that makes desolate is, since this is an
event apparently in future, something comparable to what was already
fulfilled in the days of the Maccabbees, it would have to do with the
antichrist likely enough. the second half of this book will probably
make a case for whatever it is. But the early Church Fathers knew
all that had happened that fulfilled Daniel's prophecy to a T regarding
the kings of north and south, yet expected it to replay to some extent
again later.

But a seven year treaty with Israel is probably not in the offing.

you guys (and myself till now) have been looking for the wrong indicators.
Meanwhile, look for Russia and China to become major presences in the
Middle East first, perhaps China is the four headed leopard, or perhaps
Russia will crush Turkey and Kurdistan (which would also fit the leopard)
will be established. Time will tell.
 
reading more, this guy is definitely a total preterist. But long
after AD 70 we have the beast the antichrist being predicted and
described in Revelation. And persecution of saints, tribulation
by definition. Also described in Daniel chapter 7. As I pointed
out, early writers expected some of Daniel's prophecies about
Antiochus Epiphanes and Herod to replay again.

dismissing waking as merely spiritual waking, not resurrection,
though it talks about waking from dust, is more of the
spiritualization of literal things that prophecy and bible truth
twisters always do. A jump is obviously done from Herod and AD 70
to a much later time, and Revelation fits this. John the Baptist's
preaching hardly awakened them from centuries of spiritual sleep
since many had been faithful to YHWH all that time, though he
awakened some to repentance from sin and faithlessness. But to
argue that awakening spiritually doesn't mean you will be saved
is absurd. Those who rejected Jesus could hardly be said to
have been awakened in the first place.

Rev. 12:13 and 14:5 use the phrase time, times and a half and
42 months which is the same thing. So clearly, this which was
written c. AD 100, is not a rehash of Daniel's prophecies
leading up to AD 70. There IS a replay going to happen to some
extent. Not exact, but the critically weird stuff will.

signs in the sun and moon and stars he "spiritualizes" into
referring to earthly human powers instead of the obvious literal
interpretation. This is important history, but by denying the
obvious resurrection passages of Daniel and spiritualizing
anyting thatdoesn't fit preterism, he goes astray.
2:25 AM
 
Mauro's claiming that the king who does not regard the desire
of women (this is Herod) is against the Messiah who all women
want to give birth to, is weak because the speaking against
the most High would already apply to his effort to kill Christ
so the massacre of the innocents is probably not the issue.

Beware whatever is under the sphinx and/or great pyramid

I just bought a kindle version, 13.99, of an interesting book and
am in the process of reading it. the Secret Chamber Revisited: the
Quest For The Lost Knowledge of Ancient Egypt by Robert
Bauval. This is a rewrite and update of an earlier book by I guess
the same title.

in the hermetic books there is a strange prophecy, while Thoth
buries his secret books in Monte Libyco, he says that after the earth
has been "purified by flood, fire, and plague," then "those gods who
ruled the earth will be restored, and they will be installed in a city at
the furthest threshold of Egypt, which will be founded toward the
setting sun and to which all human kind will hasten to by land and by
sea." And in another text he says that this city of the "gods" will be
"in a very great city, in Monte Libyco."

Libya in ancient times was everything west of Egypt. Thus
diodorus Siculus writes of the Libyan Amazons referring to those
who came from an island in the Marsh Tritonis, fed by the River
Tritonis, which was later inundated in a cataclysm and became the
Lake Tritonis. This is now the Schott el-Djarid in Tunisia. So
"Libya" in ancient terminology incl. Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, and
Morocco in modern terms.

nothing good comes out of Egypt. Biblicaly it was a picture,
along with Sodom, of evil. In Revelation, Jerusalem is referred
to as spiritually named Sodom and Egypt. (Identified as being
Jerusalem because it is stated that this city is where our Lord Jesus
Christ was crucified.) In the Book of Tobit, whether this is a real
story, or a semi fiction drawn from an actual incident, in which
case the core details are correct, a terrible demon was bound by
the angel Raphael somewhere in Egypt.

Egypt has always been a major object of interest to occultists
along secondarily with Babylonia. Egypt is a lot more colorful
and left more readily visible remains, and a cultural continuity
into Christian times and a linguistic continuity (Coptic) into
modern times. Freemasonry in its third degree or maybe its
the royal arch degree, announces that the secret name of God
is "Jah-Bul-On," Jah being the short form of Jehovah, and
thus blasphemous equating YHWH with the false gods He
hated, baal (bul) and osiris  whose cult was apparently
headquartered at the Egyptian city of On, aka Heliopolis.
I suppose the only reason they bothered to incl. Jah in all this
was to give that aura of respectability given by the heavy
focus on biblical symbols and even names, and the ladder of
Jacob's dream which is a big deal in masonic symbolism.
JBO is the initials if you see this this is what it means.

Remember I figured the last empire would come from Africa,
and that it might be a revived Egyptian paganism or something
similar. I wrote that before I read this. I AM NOT A PROPHET.
I merely connect dots. If the other attributions of the other three
beasts are correct, they come from west, north and east
respectively, so the fourth one has to come from the south, from
Africa, most likely from Egypt.

This is not a book written from a Christian perspective by any
means, but it is something Christians should take a look at.
Thoth and his cult seem identified with Asculapius, the only
pagan "god" to be into healing and that for free, just a gift. the
shrine or cave with fumes where people went to sleep and
dream perhaps get some information in the dream on how to
deal with their illness or maybe get healed, maybe some herbal
skills from the priests there, was unique in the ancient world.
When Julian the apostate tried to revive paganism, he found
that to compete with Christianity he had to get the reopened
pagan temples to engage in charity. (like run a food closet.)

Because ONLY CHRISTIANS IN ALL THE ANCIENT
WORLD ENGAGED IN CHARITY AND FREE MEDICAL
HELP. Asculapius was unique in being of medical help and
was associated with a snake. It was a lure to those more
pragmatic than pious perhaps, who wanted something concrete
from their false gods. This demon gave them that, likely with
more problems later. Kurt Koch wrote a huge book, documenting
how healings done by occult means whether of humans or
animals always resulted in trouble for the humans later, or in
the next generation: this might take the form of a mental or
moral instability (totally compatible, as one person pointed out
to me decades ago, "what does morality have to do with mental
instability?" the context of this was that to draw too much a
distinction between mental instability and immorality was wrong,
that you can't have much morality if there is a lot of mental
instability. St. James in his letter points the same thing out.)
These people or their grown children years later might develop
alcoholism or other addictions, divorce and insanity and diseases.

In the Bible somewhere it says to seek to YHWH Who gives
good gifts without a curse attaching. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

and I doubt Asculapius healed without a hidden curse attaching,
which became evident later.

This purging of the earth with fire and flood and plague may refer
to the times of the fourth horseman.

The lion about to get its wings pulled off?

https://www.intellihub.com/chinas-secret-space-weapons-targeting-u-s-soon-every-satellite-will-be-at-risk/

Chris White first cued me to the Contemporaneous Beast View
of Daniel chapter 7. That they are contemporaneous is shown by
the fourth beast trampling the other three. This is not merely a
fourth empire that has elements in it inherited from the previous
empires, but one that crushes and stomps the other empires.

So this is not a rehash of the statue dream. That's over and done
with, ten toes and all.

China (and Russia) have been working on "killer satellites" that
can take out other satellites. This means that in a war, where the
US and its puppet NATO depends on having the high ground
of space, for command and control purposes, will not have that
high ground very long. this will cripple ground troop and even
some sea movements, and the air attack capability. Whether it
would affect missile targeting and delivery is another matter.

The lion losing its wings is not about USA separating from
Britain, because this results in a weakening, while the British
Empire reached its peak long after that, "the sun never set on
the British Empire" meaning that it had holdings all over the
world.

The loss of the wings does make the lion weaker, and also
less beastial, more human. So this development does point in
the direction of the equation of the winged lion with Britain-
America being correct, and the wing plucking to happen,
perhaps in our lifetimes.

I don't want to be like those breathless prophecy "experts"
who are pointing to the tribulation around the corner. The
very idea of a news program like some had, which puts the
daily or even weekly events into a biblical context, is absurd
to me, because these things play out much more slowly
than would allow anything but an occasional monthly or
even yearly update. Certainly not a news program, with
imitation of worldly stirring music appealing to the desire
of carnal Christians to be like the world in entertainment
and news programming and whatnot, inhibited for a while
but now its okay because biblical gimmickry is in play.

A few years back, China or Russia I forget which,
successfully tested a killer satellite on one of their own
satellites, put up in orbit for that purpose. Now the news
is that this program is progressing a lot more.
